DaTGATts ARE OPTIMISTIC
NEUTRAlS STRIVING TO MODIFY
STAND OF FRANCE AND
GERMANY.

Algeciras, Spain, March 20. The
general disposition of the delegates to
the conference on Moroccan reforms
continues inclined toward optomism,
but no further apparent movement
has been made in the direction OF a
solution Of the points at issue be-
tween France and Germany. The del
egates Of the neutral powers confer
separately with the French and Ger
man delegates several times daily,
striving to modify the outwardly I'M
compromising stand taken by both
sides. 1t is the general belief, how.
ever, that the present situation of in
decision will not change until further
instruction s arrive from Paris and
Berlin.
Meanwhile the French and German
delegates do not discuss the situation
together. Each side is vainly await
ing the sign of a concession from the
other and maintaining it's respective
standpoint. The neutral delegates do
not believe the deadlock will last
much longer and express the convic-
ton that neither France nor Germany
will allow the conference TO fail after
such prodigious efforts have been
made by all the powers represented
to have them reach an equitable un-
~derstanding.

STEAMER BURNS
TO WATERS EDGE
ATLANTA AND CARGO COM.
PLETELY DESTROYED NEAR
sHEsoYGAN, WIS.
BIG SNOWSLIDE IN COLORADO
ABSENCE OF HEAVY SEA UN-
DoUBTEDLY SAVED MANY
LIVES.

~Sheboygan, Wis, March 20. - The
Goodrich steamer Atlanta, which left
this port for Milwaukee at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning. was burned to the
waters edge twelve miles south of
here and about five miles out. The
Atlanta is valued at about $500 900
and the boat and cargo is a total loss.
The Atlanta left Sheboygan at 10
o'clock, south-bound, with a crew OF
sixty men and only two passengers.
The fire was discovered a 11:15 by
smoke from the hold and the blaze
was located with great difficulty. The
crew was set to work fighting the
flames al once, and the fight was kept
up until 1 o'clock, when Capt. Nc
Cauley decided to abandon the ship.
The crew and two passengers were
put off in the life boats and
Were Picked Up
by the tug Tessler, without trouble
as there was no sea running. About
this time the steamer Georgia hove in
sight and relieved the Tessler of her
load of passengers. The Georgia pro-
ceeded to this port, leaving the At
lanta a total wreck close to the beach,
for which she had been run. The or
igin of the fire is a mystery to the Of
ficers of the boat, but it is thought 1t
may have been started by a careless
ly thrown cigar. But n life was lost
in the wreck. Mike Hickey, a deck
hand was drowned in trying to escape
from the flames.
The fact that there was not a heavy
sea, which is usual at this time of
year, Undoubtedly saved many lives.

Washington. March 17.-MOmentar-
lily in the day there was a lapse in the
vigilance of those who would prevent
legislation taking away the rank OF
lieutenant general in the army, and
the chances of Generals Corbin and
Macarthur for promotion. Mr.. Prince
of Illinois, whose bill abolishing the
grade is the regular order of business,
slipped into the legislative breach.
There was an immediate call to arms
and for three hours the friends of the
generals flibustered against the hill.
The net result was that the previous
question was ordered on it and an
amendment offered by Mr.. Grosyenor,
which extends the time of the opera
ton of the bill so as to allow the pro-
motion Of the two officers, Is pending.
On this amendment the house was
voting, but without a quorum. when
adjournment was had until Monday.
when the vote will be completed.

SEVERAL LIVES MAY BE LOST.
Property Loss About Half a Million
Miners Have Close Call.

Ouray, Colo, March 20. A NAM
moth sDowslide in the Mount Sneffels
district, six miles south of here, last
night wrecked the Camp Bird mine
mill, tram house. boarding house and
reading room. William Cressey is
known to have been killed and it is
feared hat other lives we're lost. A
number of men, 1t is reported, were
seriously injured. The property loss
is estimated at from $400, 900 to $500
600.
The Camp Bird bunk house, adjoin-
ing the reading room, which was
wrecked, narrowly escaped being en-
quilted and crushed. There We're be-
tween 200 and $50 miners and mill
employees in this building when the
slide came down. The residence of
General Manager Cox also escaped
destruction
BY a Narrow Margin.
The slide had largely spent its force
before reaching the assay shops and
general Offices of the Camp Bird mine.
This avalanche, which O annual
ly and is called the United States
slide. was larger this year than ever
before. 1t started moving last even.
ing at Z o'clock, following its usual
course. AS a rule it spends it's force
by the time 1t reaches the gulch, but
last night 1t continued on to the
Camp Bird mill, crushing it like an
eggshell. This large mill, being in
the direct path of the avalanche,
checked it's terrific force, otherwise it
would probably have reached and de-
strOyed the bunk house.
The destruction of the provision
house at the Camp Bird mine cuts off
the food supply. The $50 men en-
ployed in the mine, fearing other
slides may come. have taken refuge
In the tunnel. Preparations are being
made TO rescue the men or get food
to them before the snow makes it i'm.
possible to reach them.
