COMMITTEE STANDS

Probability That He Will Not Be a
 Panama Commissioner.

Washington, D. C., Jan. 13.-Chair- man Willard of the senate committee >on inter-oceanic canals today received from President Roosevelt the advance copy of the recommendations of the consulting board of engineers relat- ing to the type of canal most feasible. which report had been promised for use in examining Chief Engineer Stew ems, when he appears before the ca nal commission Tuesday next.
 At the special request of the pTesi- dent, sthe members of the committee will not disclose the contents of the report, although the conclusion of q majority of the board, ravOr1ng a sea level canal, have been published.
 It is said to have developed that a majority of the committee is opposed to confirming the nomination of Jos. B. Bishop to be a member of the 18th milan Canal commission. The commit tee, it is said, has no objection per sonally to MT. Bishop, and believes that. while theoretically he may be qualified to serve on the commission, his physical condition will not permit him to undertake the task.
 The fact that MT. SnonIs has not resigned the presidency of the Clover Leaf railroad, has been considered, but information has reached the com mittee that MT. Shonts is not accept ing a. salary from the road and that the duties he is performing for it are in the direction of terminating his con- nection and surrendering the presi- dency.

The Growing Bitterness Between Leader
 BabCOCk and Speaker Cannon
The Insurgen Republicans Now Have Sxtythree Votes Pledged and Refuse to Entertain Any Sort of a Compromise.

Washington, Jan. 13.-Speaker Cam non and Representative Babcock of Wisconsin, the latter the leader of the insurgent forces in the house had ar interesting meeting today in the speak CTS room As the result of MT. Bab- cocks visit several interesting stories were in circulation, some of a sensa tfonal character, which would indicat" . serious breach between the two gen tlemen.
 That they differ in their views upon the Philippine tariff bill and the state hood bill had long been evident, and it was in regard to these differences thar the meeting occurred today. MT. Bab- cock took exception to an article ap bearing in the newspapers, and pre-. ferred a request that he be recognized on a matter of personal privilege Tn the house to deny it. The conversation revealed the fact that Babcock was under the impression that the article had been iustigated by the speaker , friends.
 He was assured that such was not the case and the interview terminat- ed without disclosing more than radi- cal differences as to the bills which are now the chief topic of conversation about the house.
 Members of the insurgent faction now maintain that sixty three repubiI- cans are positively pledged to vote against the proposed rule preventing the amendment of the Hamilton joint statehood bill. The insurgents insist that their forces are gaining strength at rapid rate, and they declare that the trouble between MT. Babcock and the speaker has cemented them more closely.
 Under the present conditions the consideration of the Hamilton bill is said to he out of the question. The administration is stin firm in insist ing on the passage of the joint state hood bill without modification. Com promise measures are no longer con- sidered by the insurgents and state hood legislation seems at 9 deadlOeb at present.

A MURDERER'S FIND
 HIS PROMPT ARREST
His Confession of What Seemed a
 Mysterious Crime.

Chicago, Jan. 13.-Strangled to death with three strands of copper wire. the body of Mrs. Franklin Hollister, wife of a member of the typotherae, was found today in yard at S6S Bel den aveneu. A force of detectives has heen put to work or the case. The Eollister printing firm is one of the largest in the city. The woman was undoubtedly murdered and the body thrown upon a pile of stable refuse in the rear of the barn. There is not the slightest clue. The wire is the kind used by telegraph linemen.
 Mrs. HOllister left home yesterday tO attend 9 funeral of a friend. That was the last seen of her. Judging from the condition of the body the woman made a desperate fight before she was killed. The murder was probably. cor-- mitted some distance away and the body left where 1t was found.
 Later in the day Richard Ivine, a boy living in the house in the rear of which the body of Mrs. Hollister was found confessed to the murder
 Wins, who is twenty-four years old confessed that when Mrs. Hollister was passing his carpenter shop and he seiL- ed and dragged her into the shop and attempted to assault her. She fought him and he twisted a wire around her neck and strangled her to death. He then put the body into a pile of stable refuse in the rear of 1vin's residence This morning he rushed into the house pretended to find the body and report ed to the police. The police arrested him after hearing the story. Wins had previously born good reputation

STEAMER CHEROKEE
 STUCK IN IfiF MUD
No Fears Felt For the Passengers and
 Crew.

Atlantic City. N. J., Jan. 13.-The sixty persons who comprise the pass engers and crew of the big Clyde line steamer Cherokee, which went ashore early yesterday in Brigantine Shoals, are completely cut off from the outside world tonight. Not since f o'clock this afternoon has there been a signal from the steamer. At that hour the captain signaIled that all were we'll and that his vessel was lying easy, with it's nose stuck deep in the sand. Earlier in the day a signal had been received from the stranded steamer, asking that lighters be sent out as soon as possi- ble. When this message was received word was dispatched to Deleware breakwater for the lighters, and they are expected to reach the Cherokee early tomorrow morning.
 Rumors were in circulation here to- day to the effect that the crew of the Brigantine life saving station had been lost while attempting to reach shore from the Cherokee and that the two tugs which had been pulling on the Cherokee for twenty-four hours had become separated from the steamer, owing to the parting of their hawsers.

Arizona republican., 1906-01-14

These reports caused the greatest ex- citement here and crowds swarmed to the inlet, eager to learn of the fate of the life savers and also of the steam CT. Communication with the Cherokee dispelled the fears of the friends of the life savers when it was learned that the men were safe on board the stranded vessel During the night their surf boat broke from it's moorings and came ashore. That the tugs are still lying close to the steamer is made apparent tonight by the proximity of their lights.
 Early today it was thought the ves- sel would be floated at high tide. The wrecking tugs had succeeded during the night in moving the steamer about fifty feet toward deep water. but had to desist owing to high wind. Old captains, who are familiar with the coast hereabouts, say there is no dan ger of the Cherokee going to pieces, so long as her bow can be kept in the soft bed of sand. The only danger, they say, would be in the waves strik- ing the vessel broadside and throwing it over.
 The wind tonight has fallen to about thirty miles an hour and hope is en- tertained that before morning the gale will have spent its force.
