LEGISLATIVE DOINGS
 AT THE CAPITAL CITY
Bill Introduced in the Senate For
 State Prohibition.
Senator Logan Would Exempt Farm CTS From Provisions of New
 Antitrust Law.

Senator John F. Logan. who in- troduced the famous King-Davis antitrust bill in this session of the legislature, has introduced a bill in the senate for the protection of working men, horticultural and agricultural societies and trades unions. The bill specifies that such associations may be formed for the control of the prices Of labor, products of the farm, the shipment of the same at favorable rates, and similar purposes, and such combinations shall not be considered a violation of any laws preventing or regulating the for nation or operation of pools, trusts, conspiracies or agreement. In other words such associations are expressly exempted from any danger of being construed to come under the provisions of the King Davis antitrust bill recently pass ed.
 Senator Adams has introduced bill to provide for a general elec- ton at the regular. time, in each county of the state on the question of license or no license. Should the bill become law, if a majori7 ty of the voters of the entire state favor no license, liquor would be voted out in every county irres- pectiye of the vote in any particu- iar county. But the bill provides that in case of a vote favoring li- cense carrying in the entire state, the present laws allowing local op- ton in the several counties shall remain in full force and effect. The bill exempts from its provi- sion cities and towns of the first and second class.
 The house and senate have both passed over the governors veto senate bill No 65 allowing addi- tional clerk hire for the attorney generals office. There was consid- erable debate over the proposition to pass the bill over the veto, but it was finally passed by vote of 19 to Il in the senate and 61 to 23 in the house.

DAMARA FOUNDERED

CAPTAIN AND BOATS CREW MISSING
Raging SnowstOrm Wrecked Steamer on Nova Scotia COast-First Ofhcer and Seamen Had Hard Strug-
 gle For Life.

HALIFAX, N. S.. Feb. S.-During a raging gale and 'blinding snowstorm, which has swept the Nova Scotia coast for the past twenty-four hours, the ocean steamer Damara of the Furness line ran on the rocks at Musquodoboit, thirty miles east of Halifax, early in the morning and is believed to have foundered with the loss of many lives.
 The first officer of the ship. with eighteen of the crew, escaped in one of the lifeboats and landed at Pleasant point after terrible struggle with wind and sea. Captain Gorst, master of the Damara, four passengers and the balance of the steamers crew left the vessel in another lifeboat and have not been heard of since, and it is fear ed that they have perished.
 The occupants of the boat which reached shore were utterly exhausted. and many of them were badly frost bitten. They had narrowing experi- ance, battling in the darkness for hours in the open boat against tempestuous seas on treacherous coast, with the thermometer 10 degrees below zero and an arctic blizzard raging
 They landed on shore some time dur ing the day and reached the telegraph office at Musquodoboit harbor last night, from whence they wired the first intelligence of the disaster to the agents of the Furness line at Halifax, to which port the Damara was bound.
 The survivors say that the steamer struck about ? o'clock fin the morning. when the blizzard was so thick that 1t was impossible to see ships length ahead How the steamer got so far out of her proper course they cannot imagine The ship struck without warning on what proved to be MusquO- doboit ledge.
 An immense hole through which the sea poured in torrents. was smashed in the bow of the steamer The shock of the impact shivered the vessel from stem to stern, waking every one on board, and huge breakers swept the vessel fore and aft. Lifeboats were immediately ordered over the side and all hands left the ship.
 It is believed that the steamer must have foundered quickly. and small hope is entertained by the survivors of the wreck that the captain and other occu-

with any proposition to amend the present tariff laws. He says he wants bill of particulars brought in to show wherein the present law works any in- justice to the country. The other day he called at the white house and had a talk with President Roosevelt on the subject. Much as these two men differ in their tariff views, they are very warm friends and all their conferences are characterized by good nature.
 The president asked Gen. Grosvenor if he had studied the tariff schedules and found any on which the duties could be lowered The general said that he had found just one In looking over the law he found that there was a duty of one dollar ton on basic slag. He said he did not know what basic slag was until he looked it up and found that it was used as a fertilizer. AS 1t is the policy to admit all ferti- lizers. anything calculated to increase free of cost, he thought this one dollar ton duty might be taken off basic slag.
 Gen. Grosvenor's other nickname in the house is" Old Figgers." He earned this by predicting very closely the ma jority the republicans would have in the Fiftyfourth congress when they came back into power. He followed this up with very close predictions of the states which MT. Mckinley carried in 1896 and again in 1900.
