A MICHIGAN DISASTER.

Rogers City, Mich, Oct. 2O.-The steam barge Jos. Fay. of Cleveland, owned by the Bradley estate, sprang a leak while fighting the furious gale on Lake Huron off this port today and was beached by Captain Fletcher at the Forty Mile light point, six miles from this place. Tremendous seas washed off the pilot after the steam CT struck the beach and Captain Fletcher and most of the crew of four teen drifted to shore. All other mem bers reached the shore in safety. cling ing to wreckage, except Mate David Syze, who was drowned
 The barge Rhodes, which had been in tow of the Fay, was parted from her consOrt during the storm and grave fears are felt for the safety of the barge and crew of six men. It is thought the crew may have succeeded in making sail and reaching the Straits of Mackinaw

OTHER wREcks REPORTED.

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 2O.-Although only one death, that of Mate David Syze, of the steam barge Jos. Fay, wrecked at Rogers City, Mich, was re- ported during today as a result of the terrific storm which ragged last night and today on the Great Lakes, evil dence of disasters are reported in sev- eral directions.
 The barge RhOades, which broke away from the Jos. Fay before the latter was beached at Rogers City, was reported ashore today on Cheboygan Point She is in an exposed position, but all of her crew were saved.
 From Lake Erie come reports of the sinking of a vessel thought to be one of the barges of the fleet of Jas COrrigan of Cleveland. Captain Stew art of the steamer Walter Scott, which passed up the Detroit river today, sent word ashore that he had passed a sinking vessel in Lake Erie. Cap tain Stewards report was that the wreck was seen two and one half miles southeast of the southeast shot light ship. The top of her cabin showed water and the Corrigan coIors were in evidence. The steamer Bulgaria of the Corrigan fleet was soon afterward sighted under shelter of an island. Apparently neither of the two barges, Tasmania or Ashland, which the Bull garia had in tow when she passed Detroit yesterday, was with her. From this it was inferred that the sinking vessel sighted was one of the barges, the fate of the other remaining a prob lem.
 Evidence of another wreck is found in the discovery of a considerable amount of wreckage floating by the under bay island in Lake Huron late today. The schooner Emmal L. Neil son of Alpena, Mich, is reported ashore in Presque Isle harbOr, which is in Presque Isle county, not far from Rogers City.

CUNLlFFE'S STEALINGS
Police are Getting the Honey Back
 PieCemeaI.

Bridgeport, Conn, Oct. 2O.-The chances that the police will recover nearly the whole of the S1O1.0OO stolen from the Adams Express company in Pittsburg by Edward G. Cunliffe, who was arrested here and taken to Pitts burg today, seems bright. Tonight S9,065 was found in a trunk belonging to a butler of a prominent family at Black Rock, but the butler and the family by whom he is employed are ignorant of the fact that the large sum found was within the house.
 Although there is a possibility that the remaining S1O,5OO has been de- stroyed, the police are of the opinion that another accomplice of Cunliffe may reveal the hiding place of the missing sum. In round numbers S9O,0 ,000 has been found within the past twen- ty-four hours. After figuring on about $500 as the amount Cunliffe has spent or which was found on him when arrested, there is left a sum of $1O,5OO yet to be accounted for.

Tawney, of Minnesota, tonight, on the arrival of the special train on which a party of congress- men have been touring the south west. MT. Tawney, T. F. Marshall, representative from North Dakota, and HalvOr Steenerson. representative from Minnesota, left the other members here, and took late trains for their homes. The remainder of the party proceeded on to Chicago.
 Continuing the discussion of the statehood subject, MT. Tawney, acting as spokesman for the trio, which stopped here, said: q believe that the wisest move for those two territO- ries at this time would be to cease the agitation of the statehood question. The territories are not ready for it and there is no use at this time of

ONLY CATTLE RAISERS
To be in the American Stock Growers
 Association.

| Denver, Oct. 2O.-The proposition to Iamalgamate the National Livestock
 association and the American Stock Growers association an a basis that would also dispose of the much moot ed question of representation of the packing, railroad and commission house interests was taken up at a joint conference of the executive commit tees of the two organizations at the Brown Palace hotel today. A plan out lined by a sub committee was instruct
 ed to make another effort to formulate a plan that would be acceptable to all interests. The sub committee will re- port again tomorrow.
 The report which was defeated today, recommended that the National Live
 stock association be changed to a na-
 tiOnaI livestock committee, consisting .of representatives of the producers of livestock. This committee would in turn appoint committees on railroads
 packing houses, commission houses, etc. which would give those interests representation and a right to be heard whenever they felt the need of expres- sion. The report also recommended that the American Stock Growers as- sociation become known as the Ameri- can Cattle Growers association with a membership consisting of cattle, horse and swine growers. The sheep men, the reports suggested, should af- filiate with the American Wool Grow CTS association.

PRIVATE GAR LINES
Iron Bound Contracts With the South
 Eastern Roads.

Washington, Oct. 2O.-The existence of exclusive contracts between rail- roads and private car lines, by which the latter assume the business of re- frigerating perishable freight, was brought out strongly today in the hearing now in progres before the in terstate commerce commission. It was developed by the testimony of H. M. Emerson, traffic manager of the At Iantic Coast line, that the shippers would be compelled under the contract with the Armour car lines, to use the cars of this company exclusively, or the railroad would not transport their freight.
 At the same time, he said, the sched- ules of the road would permit the use of other private cars, and that the apparent inconsistency is a matter that the legal department of the road would have to solve if brought into controversy. Officials of the Central Georgia and Southern and Seaboard Air line testified that the Armour car lines have exclusive contracts with their roads to handle all refrigerator business.

THE PRINTING CONTAGION
Which Hr. LandiS Says Should be
 Checked.

Washington, Oct 2O-SuppIement' 'nE his statement regarding extravaganza and waste in public printing. Repre- sentative Chas. B. Landis chairman of the subcommittee of the congres- siOnal investigation committee. charE- ed with an inquiry into the alleged eXtravagances in the public printing. today insisted that the statement made to congress before it's adjourn ment, that the government could save a million dollars a year on it's print ing bill, was not at all eXUravaEant-
 MT. Landis declared today that ''a printing cOntagiOn seems to have swept over and taken possession or congress and all departments of the government to such an extent that an arbitrary reduction in the printing ap- DrOpriatiOns of from 20 to 25 per cent could be made without doing violence to the public welfare
 There are tons and tons of dOcu- ments for which there will never be any demand, piled up in the commit tee rooms, and in the various depart ments about Washington, and in tha garretS and wOodsheds of the senators and representatives throughout the country. It all represents waste and extravaganza and improvidence. and the situation fairly shrieks for cor rectiOn."

After run ming ashore, she was buffeted and pounded for. over seven hours by the wind and waves. Two tugs from Cleveland, one of which bore the life saving crew of this port. succeeded in rescuing all but two of the crew. These two attempted to escape in a small life boat and they were quickly swept out to sea and lost. The drown ed men were John Fox, wheelman, and Charles Evans, second mate.

talking about it. Understand, there is nothing wrong with the people or the natural conditions Of New Mexico and Arizona. Both are enjoying great pro- gress, and it is for just this very req son that I expect to oppose with all my power their admission now.
 'I believe that the federal govern ment is giving them justice in every particular. Further than that, ad- mission to statehood would unsettle conditions there. How many years they should wait, I should not venture to predict. Though within the next five years unless something now un- foreseen happens both of those terri tories will have made mOnstrous strides. Another thing, l am impress ed with the utter impracticability of making a single commonwealth of those two large territories"
