San Francisco, Jan. 14.-When the

was at Punta Arenas. Costa Rica, the
English steam yacht Rose Marine was
in the harbor bound for Cocos island
to search for gold, legends say was
buried there by ancient buccaneers. A
man named Gray is in charge of the
party His purpose in putting into
Eunta Arenas, it is reported, was to
endeavor to obtain concession for
excavation on Cocos island, the latter
being under the jurisdiction of Costa
Rica. Another steam ys chit, known as
the Veronique, and bearing Earl Fitz-
williams and ten associates, was at
PAM ma when the City of Panama left
there. and it also was bound for Cocos
island in search for neglected coin
plate Of the buccaneers. This is the
expedition only a few days ago men
toned in the dispatches as having
failed to find any trace of wealth after
making extensive excavations The
Veronique. 1t is said. will soon come

BRIDGE OF BROOKLYN.
Structure Beginning to Show Effects
of Traffic Over 1t.
STRAIN TOO SEVERF.
Engineers Steel In the Tremendous
ThOroughfare Is Reaching the
Age Limit and it May Be.
come Dangerous.

New York, Jan. 14.-Fearful lest the
strain to which the Brooklyn bridge is
being subjected will weaken it to such
an extent that great catastrophe
might be possible. engineers of the de-
partment Of bridges are reported to
have determined that the structure
must be almost wholly rebuilt. To do
this it will require at least two years,
and meanwhile traffic between New
York and Brooklyn will have to be di-
verted to the Williamsburg bridge, the
new Manhattan bridge and to the
Brooklyn subway tunnel. now in course
of construction. Four or five years
may elapse before this can be accom-
plished. as great traffic problems will
have to be solved beforehand
Though an inspection Of the Brook
lyn bridge shows it to be in a safe
condition at present. it Is admitted oy
ali the engineers who have been con-
nected with the work. according to
the Herald, that even steel has an age
limit, and that this limit Is being rap
idly approached. The structure is
now having to Withstand a weight of
traffic which it never was intended to
bear when the plans for it were made,
and in addition to the wear and tear
which were to be expected there has
been an added impairment of the
structure by electrolysis.
Plans for rebuilding the bridge,
which are now in course Of prepara-
ton, call for the construction of
practically new structure. But little
will remain of the present bridge ex-
cept the great stone piers, which are
practically imperishable. When fin
ished it will be as modern in every re-
spect as the Williamsburg bridge. with
a double deck and far better facilities
for crossing of surface cars.
1t will be necessary to have weight
anchorages. so as to Withstand the
added weight Of the double decks. 1t
may not be found necessary to alter
the present promenade deck except by
it. but all the suspender
girders will be replaced. From these |
girders no immediate danger is antici-
pated. but in view of the threatened |
disaster few years ago, when sew
citizen Of them broke, no chances will !
be taken by leaving any Of the old |
ones when the structure is overhauled. |
It Is estimated that the cost will be |
about $5,000,000.

gapiZe New Body.

Denver, Jam 14.-The National live
stock association was rem: in twai,
Friday by the adoption OF new con-
| stitution which admitted packers tc
membership and provides an open
door through which the railroads OF
the country may at any time become
| ton.
The cattlemen, horse and swine
growers. together with representatives
OF some of the affiliated industries, re :
fused to agree with the new constitu-
iron and withdrew when they consd-
cred its adoption probable. and this
association formed a new organization
under the name of the American
STOCK Growers association. whose aim
IT viii be to WELD a dominant in1u-
ence in the Alterelt of the cattle grow
er.
Roughly speaking. che sheep grow
ers, commission men and stock yards
interests remained with the National
Livestock association and the actual
growers of all other animals for the
market have gone with the aew as
sociation.
The cattlemen. having first strongly
opposed the admission into their or
ganization of the packers, and partic-
ularly of the railroads, claimed that
these two influences would ultimately
dominate the cattle growing Industries
of the country to the detriment of the
individual growers. The new consti-
tutional amendment was adopted by
vote OF 253 to 60. The opposing cattle
men left the hall.
At the afternoon session of the Ma
tional Livestock association a resolu-
tion was adopted increasing the time
limit for the transportation of live
stock from twenty eight to thirty-siy
hours.
The cattlemen who ehad left the con-
vention gathered at the Brown Palace
hotel in the afternoon and appointed
a committee Of fifteen to present a
plan for new organization. Its re-
port, which was unanimously adopted,
recommended that temporary presi-
dent be ~appinted to hold office until
May, when a general convention for
ton would be held in Denver John

The greatest damage is done to fruit

able to bear up the load of ice that
