STEAMER HOWARD
BADLY DAMAGED
INDIA ST. DOCK

Late yesterday afternoon when steam
ship Howard OF the Merchants & Miners
line under Captain Chase was making
her dock at the foot OF India street, the
steamer colllded with the pier and in one
crash effected enough damage 10 put the
dock out OF commission for the next three
or four weeks.
The impact OF the collision gave the
people on board both crew and passen-
gers shock that will be remembered by
them for some time 10 come as well as
damaged the pier, There was no panic,
however. since the most OF them were at
the rails watching the docking OF the
craft
The vessel had come In and was In the
act Of turning as Is the custom with all
the craft SO as 10 be ready TO sail with
the greatest ease the next day Captain
Chase had the vessel nearly turned her
PROV being headed down stream.
The bell had sounded the signal for
backing and the great hulk was under
considerable momentum. After gaining
the required impetus the signal was given
TO go ahead The engineer tried with all
his power 10 reverse the engines and the
levers worked as usual but there was no
check TO the speed OF the craft now maxi
ing for the dock.
The "jingleI was then given when the
captain saw that there was about 20 be
a collision but there was still no response
from the engines. BY the time the orders
were given the vessel had run stern on
onto the dock and there was a mighty
crashing and crunching OF timbers. The
vessel left the debris upon her own re-
action and then II was seen that the dock
had been almost demolished
Fortunately neither the vessel nor the
longshorernen who were docking the ves-
sci were injured A few minutes after the
collision the trouble was remedled and
the vessel tied up at her slip. An examin-
alton OF the engines showed that a broken
bolt had caused the trouble
Mr.. Coria. the agent OF the line when
seen stated that the damage to the dock
would be about $4,000 and IL would take
about three weeks 10 repair f. The How
ard sails tonight for Baltimore and Nor
folk as usual.

CRITICAL STAGE
NOT YET REACHED
At CONFERENCE

Algeciras. Spain. Feb. l5.--The situation
Of the Franco-German controversy over
the vital points OF the proposed Moroccan
reforms remains unchanged. although n
feeling prevails among ;he delegates that
some decisive step is not far OFF.
They are particularly cautious just now
I'm view Of the alternate waves OF opti-
the inability thus far TO reach an accord
does not warrant overconidence. But at
the same time Il Is conceded that the
continuance OF the Franco-German pour
parlers shows the critical stage has not
ment until Saturday gives an opportunity
for an active renewal OF the efforts to
reconcile the French and German contcn-
tions
Ambassador White. chief Of the Ameri-
can delegation. with cooperation OF the
Marquis Nisconti Venosta, head OF the
italian mission, has already put forward
several tentative plans for a compromise
which have been unsuccessful, owing TO
the unyielding attitude Of one eide or tho
other
These efforts continue and the neutral
delegates believe they will ultimately sue
ceed, although recognizing the increasing
difficulty as one proposition after another
fails to secure mutual acceptance.

clared that the reply OF NJ. Revolt. the

APPROPRIATION PASSES
HOUSE WITHOUT CHANGE
CONTINUED from Page one.)


The next objection was on the appro-'
priaton OF $1,000 for the expenses Of the
railroad commissioner Mr.. Rattey want
cd 20 cut it down TO 5000 which he CON
sidered ample. The money now appropri-
ated, he said, was paid 10 f. l. Freeman
as state printer, by him to f. i. Freeman
as stationer and then 20 T. l.. Freeman,
private citizen. All this was In payment
OF the expenses OF T. l.. Freeman as rail-
road commissioner. The appropriation
was approved without reply being made
Mr.. Rattey wanted to cut in two the
appropria ton OF 5000 for the state return
ing board He said he did not SEQ any
reason why 5000 should be appropriated
when the work Of the board had been done
last year for $500 The appropriation was
finally made.
When .the final clause. providing that
the appropriation act should take effect
on its passage Mr.. Rattey moved that the
bill be returned 10 the committee on fl
nance for further consideration.
In support OF this motion he made n
long address I'm which he said Every
amendment which has been offered to this
bill has been voted down, but at the. last
hour / ask you to think II over again.
"You may fnd that your state is not as
prosperous as II looks on the surface. |
have come 10 the conclusion that IL we
keep on as we have been doing IL will not
be many years before the state will be
bankrupt.
DEBT NOT PAID.
Look back two years when there was
in the treasury OF the state balance OF
about 5000. The gentleman OF the COM
mttee on finance told me tho floating
debt had been paid. ] did not doubt the
gentleman's word. but 10 make sure
asked the general treasurer II IL was so.
He said, No. Mr.. Rattey. tho notes
have not yet been paid. but have the
money for them ! asked him when he
got the money and he said he was going
to take Il out OF this years revenue. The
treasurer or the state has taken from the
revenue OF this year sl3i,O00 10 pay the
states floating debt.
Tho treasurer has power under the law

Last year ne borrowed s245. 900. for which
he must pay back $3.50 600. because the in
terest amounts 20 $4,000"
Mr. Rattey quoted figures quite extern
sively TO show that the state Is on the
high road to bankruptcy. The motion to
recommit the bill 10 tho COMMITTEES was
