VISIONS COME
TO mr.. VEST
Former Senator's View Of
the Presidential PrOba-
bilities of 1904.
Special to The Globe.


WASHINGTON, D. c., March l.
Senator George G. Vest, of Missouri,
who retired to private life March 4
after forty years of public service. gave
his views today on the probabilities Of
the next presidential campaign. He
frankly admits that the Democrats
have no hope of electing a president
against Roosevelt so long as the pros
perity Of the country continues. Mr..
Vest said:
1.-THE future of the Democratic party
depends on the condition of the coun-
try in 1904 The Republicans have
staked everything on the maintenance
Of the high tariff, and if the political
condition of affairs can be maintained
until the fall of 1904 the Democrats
cannot win. The Republicans will as
cribe the prosperity which then may
prevail to the Dingley tariff and the
majority of the voters will never stop
to analyZe the truth of the claim. AS
to the trusts, they have been irritated
but not enraged by the legislation of
this session and would rather have the
Republican party, with the legislation
enacted within the last few months,
than the Democratic party on any
terms.

G0RMAN AND
CANAL TREATY
New Democratic Leader May
Delay or Defeat Rati-
ficatiOn.
Special to The Globe.

AopCNicll W L Ilt SlODt.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March T.
There was no meeting of the Repub-
Hcan steering committee of the senate
today, the leaders deciding to leave
matters as they stood at the confer
ence Thursday and not finding in the
action of yesterdays Democratic eau
Gus any reason to change their plans.
The programme in the senate is to put
forward the Panama canal treaty first
and in four-hou sessions daily give
Senator German and his supporters full
opportunity to discuss the treaty.
When it is disposed of the Cuban pact
is to be taken up.
All this is very simple and appears to
be easy with a majority of the senate
unquestionably in favor OF both
treaties, but should Mr.. German, the
new Democratic leader, think there is
any capital in opposing the treaties for
party reason the distractions he could
raise would be formidable and much
time would be required to surmount
them. If the Democrats insist 1t is
probable that they can secure the
amendment of the canal and Cuban
treaties to suit them. Mr.. German has
told several colleagues privately that
he is opposed to the canal treaty,
though in interviews for publication
he reserves judgment on the ground
that he is not familiar with It. AS for
the Cuban measure, there is strong

element in the Democratic ranks op-
posed to it and this element is assisted
indirectly by the half -heartedness of
the Republicans. 1t would not be sur
prising to see the Cuban treaty fail, at
least in It's present form.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March T.
The Democratic steering committee of
the senate held a session today for the
purpose Of considering the question of
filling vacancies of the senate commit
tees, but took no definite action be-
yond deciding to do nothing until it Is
known whether it is the purpose of the
Republican managers to enter upon a
general reorganization of the commit
tees.
The committee decided to recognize
the propriety of Senator Clark's ap-
pointment as a member of the commit
tee on foreign relations to succeed Mr..
Bailey. 1t was stated that Mr.. Bailey,
before withdrawing from the commit
tee and suggesting Mr.. Clark as his
successor, consulted individual mem
bers of the steering committee. The
committee had Senator Clark in mind
two years ago for the place and would
have put him on the committee then
had there been a vacancy.
After the committee adjourned, SEN
ator German said that the committee
had been indirectly informed that it is
the policy of the Republican senators
not to fill the committee vacancies dur
ing the called session and that If this
policy should be adhered to, the Demo-
Gratis could do nothing in that direc-
uon. He added that at any rate the
Democratic managers would wait upon
the Republicans and necessarily con-
form to their wishes in the matter.

Special Cable to The Globe.
LONDON, March Speculation as
to Pope Leo's successor mingles,
though not extensively, with the strains
of rejoicing raised by British Cath
olics over the pontifical jubilee. Atten-
ton is called to the fact that there Is
not the least probability of any but an
Italian becoming pope; and the impli-
cation appears to be that the next
pontiff will prove in a large measure
reactionary; not, indeed, to the extent
of completely undoing the splendid
work of Leo in bringing about better
relations between the Vatican and tenn
poral states, but in respect of church
administration.
1--WE may count upon It," observes
thoughtful writer, that the test battle
over Americanism in ecclesiastical
polity has yet to be fought"

nal Gibbons this evening received this

ulatton on the occasion of the pontiff's

tolic blessing to your eminence, the

NINETEEN MEN
DIE BY DROWNING
Calamitous Result of the
Capsizing of a Ferry
Boat.

GLENN'S FALLS, N. Y, March T.
Nineteen men are dead as the result
OF the capsizing today of a ferry boat
used by Workmen at Spier Falls, ten
miles west of Glenn's Falls, on the
Hudson river. Over a thousand men
are employed there in the construction
of the power dam of the Hudson River
Power company The laborers and
many of the masons are italians who
live in Shanties on the north side Of
the river. The main portion of the
work Is done on the opposite side Of
the river. The men have been in the
habit Of crossing a small bridge where
the river flows through the unfinished
portion of the dam, but the river has
been rising for several days and the
company, fearing that the bridge was
unsafe, destroyed it. Below the work
about half mile is a ferry. The
boat is a scoW-shaped affair, thirty
feet long and thirteen wide, and is
operated by cables.
This morning seventy or eighty men
got aboard and the boat started. When
eighty feet from shore the water
splashed against the rail and an Ital-
ian boy seized one of the tackle ropes
which ran from the overhead cable to
the stern of the boat. Some of the
men started toward him and instantly
the boat careened and filled, every
one being thrown into the water. The
Hudson bore score or more of the
struggling men down stream. Many
others caught hold Of the boat, which
had righted, and they clung there until
pulled ashore. The current carried
many of the men in toward shore,
where they We're rescued.
Teams were quickly harnessed and
loaded with skilled log drivers and sent
down along the river to points where
the bodies would be likely to land. It
was nearly 4 o'clock before the first
body was found. This was recognized
as the body of Fred Forran, an ItaI-
ian interpreter.
The river for miles is being watched
and dragged In hopes of finding bod
les Of the other victims. There were
but two or three English speaking men
on the boat, the Italians being all des-
ignated by number. The rolls of the
men were called and this evening ev-
erybody had been accounted for ex-
cept sixteen men and 1t Is certain that
these men were drowned. Those
known to be dead are:

WAGES FIXED
Fifteen Hundred Employees
Get Increase Of Il to 10
Per Cent.

OMAHA, Neb.. March AT mid
night officials of the Union Pacific
Railroad company and the members
of the joint committee of conductors
and brakemen reached an agreement
whereby the salaries of 1900 of the
employees are increased from IL to 10
per cent. A horizontal advance of 20
per cent was asked by the men. This
the company refused to grant and
concessions were made by both sides.
In the agreement reached all freight
conductors get a Is per cent increase,
which will raise their wages to a point
on the mileage basis, ranging from
1925 to $3.50 per month. The freight
brakemen get two thirds of the con-
ductors' scale, so that they will share
in the increase. The passenger con-
ductors get IL per cent increase, which
will make their wages $140 per month.
The passenger brakemen get the same
percentage of increase, which, by their
graded scale, makes their wages range
from $75 to $85 per month.

GIRL ELOPES
WITH RAILROAD
NEWSBOY
Alice Stensrude, of Sacred
Heart, Loves Her Butcher
Boy and Weds Him in
Spite of Opposition of
Stern Parents-Gallick Is
Priest of Hymen.

"Oh, Gene, what will mamma say
when she hears of it?'
This was the first thought of Alice
Stensrude, an exceptionally pretty girl
of sixteen, after her marriage to Eu-
gene Vandrin, a news agent on the
Minneapolis g. st. Louis railway in the
office of Court Commissioner Gallick
at the court house yesterday after
noon.
In the face of the objections raised
by her parents Miss Stensrude had run
away from her home at Sacred Heart
and Joined her youthful lover in ST.
Paul, where no time was lost in haV-
ing the marriage ceremony performed
The girl is the daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. II. G. Stensrude, of Sacred Heart,
Mimi, her father being q travelling
salesman in the employ of the Wyman-
Partridge dry good company, of Min
neapolis. The girl came to st. Paul
some months ago for the purpose of
going TO school and was living with
relatives here. Some time ago she
met young Vandrin, a train butcher
on the Minneapolis & st. Louis and
1t was case of love at first sight ~ In
both of them. The young man paid
such close attention to Miss Stensrude
that the attention of her parents was
out of school and sent back home.
But Cupid laughs at distance as well
as blacksmiths. The couple corre-
sponded and arranged for an elope-
ment.
Friday Miss Stensrude left her home
in Sacred Heart, osteisibly to
pay her sister in st. Paul a visit,
and yesterday morning she told her sis
ter that she was going over to Min
neapolis to see her father, who was
expected there.
Instead of meeting her father she
met Vandrin and the pair of lovers, ac-
companied by D. E. Nash, a room
mate of Vandrin's, went direct to the
courthouse.
Court Commissioner Gallick was
prevailed upon to perform the mar
riage and after it was all over the
couple frankly admitted that they had
outwitted the stern parents of the
young girl, who had declared she
should never marry Vandrin.
What will your parents say when
you go back home?" the girl was ask
ed.
"Oh, We're not going back home, are
we, Gene?" and the blushing young
bride gazed admiringly at the wedding
ring which had so recently been plac-
ed upon her finger, and together the
happy couple left the court house.
Il don't know what her mother will
say" said Mr.. Nash, who is a mutual
friend of the couple but there will
be something doing when her father
hears of it,
They will make their home in Min
neapolis.

Fine Steamer Burned and

MONTREAL, March THE Riche-

waters edge tonight. A huge crowd
was attracted by the confagration and
several hundred persons found their
way to the roof of an Allan line shed,
which collapsed, roof and people 60
ing down on a crowd in the shed. Two
persons were killed and fully seventy
i've were injured, some of whom, II is
thought, may die.

main deck. Workingmen engaged in

craft had left behind them fine ma
terial to feed the flames. BY the time

ing order practically nothing remained
but to extinguish the embers.
The reflection attracted an immense
crowd and 1t was in the eager quest
for point of vantage that resort
was had to the shed of the Allan line
alongside The building in question
was but a fiimsily constructed affair
originally built so that it could be re-
moved from the wharf during the win
ter. When a large number of people
clambered on the roof attention was
drawn to the danger and the police
had just began ordering those on the
roof off when the collapse came. There
was not much of a crash and 1t was
not until the screams OF those who
went down with the building and who
were held pinioned by the timbers rent
the air that the big crowd knew that
the accident occurred.
Then a rush ensued to the spot and
for the next half hour there was
scene of bewlldering excitement and
confusion. Willing hands pulled off
the heavy corrugated iron roofing and
twisted apart the broken timbers. AM
balances were called from all the hos
pitfalls. Two dead bodies were recov-
cred, those Of a man and boy, neith-
er of whom has been identified.
The loss on the steamer is 1925 coo;
