SENATORS BY DIRECT vore.

accelerated by the disgusting bood-
Ing revelations.
The reform is both practical and
practable It's chief merit lies In the
elimination Of money as factor In
the selection OF men fog the highest
positions within the gift Of the people.
Il also brings the selection Of men for
these positions closer TO the people and
therefore makes them more amenolle
to popular viii. It places the multi
nilllonaire on the same plane With
the ordinary man Of affairs. In this
nanner the principles Of representa-
tive government are best subseryod
ord perpetusted.

fore thir.y-six legislatures and twenty

and outright OF the twenty-one that
have endorsed II re have asked con
gress to sui ..iit a constitutional
amendment, and twelve have demand

convention. These twelve are Cali

Montana. Nebraska, North Carolina.
Oregon, Utah and Wisconsin.
Eighteen more states can secure
the calling OF constitutional con
yention. and II the south would wake
up II could secure the submission OF
an amendment authorizing the cleo
tion OF senators by direct vote of the
people. Some OF the boss.ruled states

no state will oppose a proposition that

when II is stripped OF all state repre-
sentation nonsense. Senators are rep.
resentatives Of given number Of peo.
pie. just as a justice Of the peace is,
and the difference relates TO the du
ties to be performed and not to the
nature OF the representation.
What is wanted now Is eighteen
more states that will demand the call
ing Of constitutional convention. and
before this time aext year the number
should be secured. True. senators
can be selected by the people in q

NO CHANGE IN LAND LAWS.
Repeal of Timber, Desert and Commuta-
tion Acts Hopeless.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE senate
committee on public lands today or
dered favorable report On the bill to
repeal the timber and stone act, desert
land act and commutation feature of
homestead law. Amendments to omit
repeal of Communication law and sell
timber land on the basis of appraised
value we're debated. Senator's opposed
to the bill say there is no prospect of
its passage at this session.
The action of the committee is not
significant, for there is no possibility of
the bill passing the house, even though
it might be raiIroaded through the
senate. Even this is improbable, be-
cause it is legislation that would pro-
woke debate, and such debate is likely
to prove fatal this late in the session.
An attempt was made in committee
to amend the bill to provide for the
sale of timber lands in tracts of 16O
acres to each settler, the price to be
governed by the appraised value of the
timber thereon, but this substitute was
voted down. The committee also re-
jected proposition to omit the COM
mutation clause from the acts to be re-
pealed.
The report today was made largely
for effect, and not with any intention
of passing the bill, for the senate COM
mittee is fully advised that majority
of the public lands committee of the
house will not for minute consider
the bill at this session.

nook bay.
Representative Jones today escured

prove. Bad weather, however, pre-
vents his going out.

WORK OF TORNADO
PASSENGER STEAMER SWAMPED ON
A VIRGINIA RIVER
Eighteen Persons are known to Have Lost
Their Lives-Accident Occurred In the
Evening When All Were Below and
They Had No Time to Seek Safety
Before Vessel Sank.

Norfolk, Va, Feb. ia tornado
struck the passenger steamer Olive,
which plies between Franklin, Va, and
Edenton, N. c., at $3.50 last night and
sent her to the bottom of the Chown
river, off Woodley's pier, between
Mount Pleasant and divers wharf.
Eighteen persons are known to have
been drowned, and others who were
rescued are in serious condition.
The storm, when it struck the Olive,
caused her to go over On her beam
ends, and when she righted it was only
to sink on account of the water she had
taken. A majority OF the passengers
and crew were below at the time, and
had no opportunity to reach the pilot
house of the vessel. This point was
the only portion left above water, and
in it, standing waist deep from the
time of the accident until 6 O'Clock in
the morning, Captain George Whitney
and five others were rescued.
ACCOIO1uS W Iuo s1dtcLlouo VI zap
tain Withey there are Is known to have
been lost on the sinking steamer, and
a lifeboat loaded with part of the crew
and passengers, which left the steamer
in hope of reaching a vessel whose
lights could be seen in the distance,
were rescued after enduring severe
hardships all night.
The Olive was small screw steamer,
owned by ]. A. Pretow, of Franklin,
Va, and plying between North Caro-
lima and Virginia for several years.
She left Franklin last evening for Eden
ton, and had almost reached her des-
tination when the tornado struck her.
She was built in 1869, and was of 287
tons gross, 1909 feet long, 20.4 feet
beam and 27 feet depth of hold.

PLANS OF ATLANTIC SQUADRON.
Present Gun Practice May Be Followed by
a Cruise to Europe.

Present Gun Practice May Be Followed by
a Cruise to Europe.
Washington, Feb. 19.-Upon the re-
suit of three months hard work at the
target practice about to be undertaken
will depend the summer planszef the
North Atlantic squadron. The feet is
working out an elaborate and progress
sive set OF exercises and drills devised
by the general board, the purpose being
to familiarize the officers with naval
movements on larger scale than has
ever before been attempted in the
United States navy. The fleet has
worked through the program step by
step, and the three months program
now in execution will determine
whether or not the gun work of the
ships has been SO far perfected as to
warrant the beginning of the next
phase, namely, long distance cruise
in fleet formation. If this work should
be undertaken next summer, of which
Secretary Moody is by no means cer-
tain, the North Atlantic squadron will
make directly for the Azores, and if the
combined movement is successful up to
that point the ships may 60 on as far
as Lisbon, but it is not intended that
they shall visit Northern Europe under
any conditions.

CAST AWAY IN WILDERNESS.
Terrible Sufferings of Shipwrecked Pros

Terrible Sufferings of Shipwrecked Pros
pectors on Vancouver Island.
Victroia, B. c., Feb. ia story of
privation and exposure was
brought from the Vancouver island
coast by the steamer Queen City today.
Two prospectors, Pete Anderson and j.
A. Ferguson, were wrecked in sloop
off Cape Cook, and, losing all their
food, they endeavored to get to the near
est Indian village, so miles away.
They built raft to cross Nespartz in
let, but a storm q rose, the raft was
broken and the two men we're washed
ashore after suffering great hardships
on the logs, more dead than alive.
Then they walked 60 miles around
the beach, the impenetrable bush offer
ing no trails, and had no food for six
days until reaching an abandoned In
dian hut they found small supply
which kept them alive until they
reached an Indian village on Klosh in-
let, so miles from where their vessel
was lost, after suffering terrible priva.
tions and with just strength enough to
crawl into camp.

MORE TRUST LEGISLATION.
Senate Committee May Favor More Dras-
tic Action on Question.

Washington, Feb. 18.-There is pos
sibly some embarrassment ahead for
those senators who have arranged that
there shall be no more trust legislation
at this session than is contained in the
Elkins act and Nelson amendment.
Here is the judiciary committee of the
senate pounding away on a measure,
and it may report the Littlefeld bill,
SO as to make it more drastic than as
it passed the house. Should the COM
mittee report it, it would mean that
the skillfully arranged program of the
senate leaders might be upset. Men
who know something about the feeling
against trusts in their states will not be
willing to sidetrack legislation like the
Littlefeld bill that passed the house
unanimously.
More than this, the reports that have
been so generally circulated that the
Littlefeld bin was only "bluff,"
have caused comment throughout the
country of character to disturb senat-
orvs who are closely identified with big
corporations.
The imputation of bad faith on the
pdTb VI LILO oA6O hofO
some effect. Because the president
urged the Elkins bill and the Nelson
amendment, it has been asserted that
he was aparty to program of "mild"
trust legislation. As matter of fact,
the policy of the president has been to
get all he could when he could. He
found the Nelson amendment could be
procured. and that the Elkins bill could
be passed, and he accepted both. By
threats and methods scarcely in keep
ing with his Office, he might have
forced more drastic legislation, but as
the two propositions offered were as
sured, he gladly accepted them. If
more can be obtained he will be
pleased, but if not. he, as chief execu-
tive, will see what an enforcement of
the new legislation will bring about.
and when the next congress assemblies
he can urge such additions as are found
necessary.
