ted that to some extent this informa-
tion was used for the public press. In
his capacity of literary secretary, Mr..
Bishop declared that he was not ex-
pected to create public sentiment, but
to keep 1t normal.
In explanation he said there had
been a determined effort on the part
of the opposing interests to direct SEN
timent against the canal, and before
he had entered the employ OF the com
mission his services had been sought
by those interests at more liberal com
pensation than he is now receiving.
When asked to name the opposing
interests, Mr.. Bishop specified the
Nicaragua, the Tehuantepec and the
Darien canals and ventured the sur
mise that the transcontinental rail
roads also were concerned in the op.
position to the canal In reply to
questions as to the activity of the rail.

formation that they were opposing the
canal interests.
Mr.. Shonts defended the action Of

every railway or corporation of any
character found the services of such

session of the senate during the day
Senator Lodge moved to send back to
the committee on foreign relations the

desired to have the treaty sent back
to the foreign relations committee he
said that if might be desirable to con-
slider the amendments that had been

gunbOat Wasp, formerly the yacht
Columbia, came into port in the after
noon under one boiler and several
sails, after terrific battle with a

The crew of sixty men, a third OF
whom Were naval apprentices and un-
used to such boisterous conditions,
bailed for many hours with buckets
and succeeded In freeing the engine
room.
Hospital Steward White sustained a
broken rib, but refused to give up his

BRIG HARRY SMITH SAVED.
Vessel Brought Into Port After Stormy
Voyage.

New Bedford, Mass, Dec. l3.-Had
not the lightest kind of weather sue
ceeded Sundays storm the brig Harry
Smith, bound here from Fayal, which
reached the entrance of Vineyard
sound Sunday morning, might have
been blown to sea or thrown upon the
shores of Martha's Vineyard or Eliza
beth island When the brig was picked
up Tuesday by the tug Mercury, she
had been practically helpless for two
days, having had her steering gear
damaged on her voyage over She
lost TWO anchors before the gale sub
sided ON Sunday and since Sunday
night she has been drifting about near
No Mans Land. Several attempts
were made to reach her from this port,
Newport and Vineyard Haven, but it
was not until the Mercury picked her
up that the safety of the Smith seemed
assured. The gunboat Wasp, which
started to her aid from Newport on
Saturday, was blown far out TO sea,

DEMOCRATS VICTORIOUS.
Win Out I'm Contest for Mayor Of
Boston.

Boston, Dec. 13.-The Democrats
were victorious in Boston during the
day, electing former Congressman
John T.. Fitzgerald mayor over three
other candidates. Fitzgerald's plu-
rality over his nearest competitor,
Louis A. rockingham, Republican
speaker of the Massachusetts house Of
representatives, was $3.50. The vote
for mayor follows: John r. Fitzgerald
(Dem.), 44,316; Louis A. rockingham
(Rep), 1926. Henry s. Dewey Ind.
Peusl, 1857; James A. Watson fCit,
sud ind. Den.), 515. ST..
The vote was unusually heavy for a
city election, more than $4,000 votes
being cast out of total registration
of 114,0O0. Two years ago Patrick A.
Collins, q Democrat, was reelected by
a plurality of more than 10000. In
the recent state election the Demo
cratic gubernatorial candidate carried
the city by plurality of approximate
ly 10000.
It was evident at night that Fitz
gerald did not receive his full party
| vote, several strong Democratic dis
tricts giving rockingham a plurality
| because of factional differences.
To complicate the situation there
were two Republican candidates in the
field. rockingham was the regular
| party. nominee, having defeated Henr,
| s. Dewey in the primaries. Dewey as
serted that fraud had been practlcet
at the polls and declared himself al
an Independent candidate. Fitzgerald,
plurality is 3,257 less than the yot'
| cast for Judge Dewey.
The city declared in favor Of l1quo
| license by a large majority.

Washington, Dec. 13.-The emer.
gency appropriation bill to provide the
Isthmian canal commission with the
funds to carry on the construction Of
the Panama canal will contain no gen
eral legislation. This was decided by
the senate committee on appropria
tions at a meeting lasting all day and
mt which it was agreed to report the
measure appropriating $11 100000, the
amount named by the house bill.
The first section Of the bill in rela.
tion to the issuance Of bonds was
stricken out
A bill containing this feature was in
troduced in the senate by Mr.. Teller
and it will be dealt with by the finance
committee. The bill was amended fur
therto provide that in the future no ex-
penditures shall be made for the canal
except by authority of congress and
when appropriations have been made
by congress.

Ghonts, chairman OF the canal com
mission; Joseph ID. Bishop, secretary,
and other officers of the commission.
Including the purchasing agent and
the assistant purchasing agent. We're
before the committee and were sub
jected to pointed inquiries as to the
manner Of making expenditures.
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Shonts urged that
the appropriation be increased to $16,-
100000, the amount named in the bill
before it was amended in the house.
They admitted, however, that $11, ,000,-
900 would be sufficient to carry ON the
work until April. In view of the fact
that congress will have plenty of op-
.sssortnnity to legislate by that time 1t
was determined not to restore the S5,-

New York, Dec. 13.-Thomas r.
Ryan during the day appeared before
the insurance Investigating committee
and told what e. H. Hartman did and
threatened to do when he demanded
that Mr.. Ryan concede to him a aeshare
In the control Of the Equitable Life As
surance society last June. Mr.. Ryan
assured the committee that he had
meant no disrespect by his former re-
fusal to disclose their conversations,
and said that he had determined to an
swer the questions to which he had re-
fused replies on Friday last because
District Attorney Jerome said he ought
to do SO. ...
Mr.. Ryan's version of what Mr.. Har-
rfman demanded and what he threaten
ed to do upon the refusal OF his de-
mands, was In substance as follows:
That Hartman demanded one-half
of the 5O2 shares of the stock OF the
equitable Life Assurance society
which Mr.. Ryan had purchased from
James RI. Hyde and which gave Mr..
Ryan control of the property.
That Hartman threatened, unless he
was conceded this share in the control
of the society, to exert his political and
all other influences against MIR. Ryan
and his project.
That Hartman declared there prob.
ably would be legislative action and
that In that event his influence would
be important.
That Hartman demanded the right
to name two of five trustees to vote
the controlling stock In the election OF
directors Of the society -~
Replies to Questions.
In reply to repeated questions by
Charles E. Hughes, counsel OF the com
mittee, Mr.. Ryan stated that Mr.. Har
rfnan did not threaten that there
would be legislative action unless he
was given share in the Equitable
control, but said there probably would
be such action. Neither did Mr. Harri
man threaten any action by an officer
| of the government.
It was a strenuous interview, Mr.
| RYAN said. and was neld In the pres
| ence of Elihu Root, then Mr.. Ryan's
counsel, now secretary of state, anf
! Paul D. Cravath, also Mr.. Ryan's coun
sci. Mr.. Ryan told the committee tina
he drew the inference from 1t that Mr.
Hartman did not want anybody II
control the Equitable society unless HI
had share in it.
Mr.. Ryan also stated that he pai'
no attention to Mr.. Harriman's state
ment that his influence would be i'm
portant in the event Of legislative at
tion and informed him that he wante
