there still remain some alive aboard the
ship.
Those on the ship, it is said, are
prepared to fire a line ashore as soon as
the rescuers are ready to fasten it to
a bluff for breeches buoy support
This may result in the rescue of many
of those hitherto thought lost"

IN THE HOUSE.

Washington, Jan. 24.-When the
smoke Of the liveliest legislative battle
of the session had cleared I'm the House
today Speaker Cannon and his organiz-
alton were in complete control and the
Joint statehood program of the adminis-
tration had been adopted. Forty-three
Republican insurgents" went down to
defeat. having voted vainly with the
Democrats to gain control of the rule,
the terms of which are to govern the
statehood bill in it's passage through
the House. The vote ordering the pre-
viuus question on the rule was 1872 yeas
and l55 nays. This clearly defeated the
opposition the full strength of which
was polled and little interest was TAX
en- on the vote for the adoption of the
rule which Immediately followed and
was carried by majority of 80.
Previous to the vote the debate on
the rule had proceeded under high ten
sion. The speeches were short but We're
hot and full of sting. Every member
who could be brought to the city by
special summons was in his place; the
galleries were packed and participated
with evident relish in the succession of
laughter and applause.
The veterans. Payne, DalZell and
Grosvcncr. upheld the organization.
Pitted against them were the leaders of
the insurgents. RabcOck Mondcll and
Jones of Washington. The humorous
speech of the day was delivered by J.
Adam Rede VINO filed five minutes
with an address that evoked applause
and merriment.
