hurt the colored man, and finally in the
fifteenth round series of lightning
right hand blows to the jaws ended
Sullivan's aspirations and Nut Cans at
the top of the fighting heal.

MARINE DISASTER
STEAMER GOES TO PIECES WITH
GREAT LOSS OF LIFE.
AT LEAST 1879 LIVES ARE LOST
About twenty-five Were clneing to
the Rigging When End Came--All
on Board Lost With the Execution
Of Fifteen Men.

VICTORIA, B. Cor the 154 peo-
pie on board the steamer Valencia
when it struck near Runaway rock,
five miles from Cape Beale, at HAS
o'clock on Monday night and met dis
aster, but fifteen were saved. Seven
were passengers and eight were mem
bers of the crew. The dead number
139, the greatest loss of life in the
north Pacific since the Pacific" was
lost in 1875. The Valencia, in whose
rigging about thirty people were cling
ing, frantically waving for assistance
which could not be given when the
steamer Queen left the scene at 1880
a. m, broke up about o'clock today,
sweeping to death those few who had
survived these terrible hours of priva-
ton chilled and number to the limit
Of human endurance by the clouds of
spray which swept over them.
The steamer Queen reports that
when it left the scene of the wreck
there were some twenty or thirty poo
pie clinging to the rigging. The Va
lencia is almost totally submerged,
only the aft part of the hurricane
deck being above water. There was
slight hope of rescue on account of the
heavy sea.
A Bamfield dispatch says that mes
sages demanding that boat with coal
oil and other supplies be sent away
for the purpose of rendering aid has,
Il nfA N,.tr f,..Nt
Cape Beale state the survivors at Oar
ling have told story to the effect
that there still remains some alive
aboard the ship.
They have fitted a gunline and are
prepared to fire line to the vessel
receive it. A bluff which will enable
them to fasten a breeches buoy may
aid in the rescue of those hitherto
thought lost.
Confirmation has just been received
that all on board the Valencia have
been lost with the exception of the
fifteen men who reached Cape Beale.
The vessel carried ninety-four passen-
gers and crew of sixty men.
LATER-Three have been definitely
accounted for, and three men believed
to be other survivors were seen on
shore by the whaling vessel Orion,
near the wreck, huddled about fire.
Six survivors have been taken on the
Sailor; nine, most of them so badly
cut up and bruised without boots and
so overcome that they cannot stand,
much less walk, are still camped at
the Darling creek telegraph hut. and
eighteen others were picked up by the
City of Topeka. With the three seen
from the Orion a mile and half from
the wreck added, the survivors total
thirty-siX, leaving a death list of 118
persons. Not a man or child is among
the saved.

NEW STARS ADDED
JOINT STATEHOOD BILL PASSES
LOWER HOUSE.
THIRTY THREE OPPOSE MEASURE
Debate Continued For Some Time, But
Is Practically Featureless - Vote
Shows 1874 for the Measure and $50
In Opposition Thereto.


WASHINGTON house passed
the statehood bill according to sched-
ule on Thursday. The republican OPP
position to the measure spent its en-
tire force yesterday and no effort was
made to defeat the bill on its final pas
sage, but thirty-three of the "insur-
gents" voting against the measure.
The bill passed by the vote of 1874 to
$50.
The debate which preceded this vote
began at II o'clock and was practic-
ally featureless so far as any hope was
entertained of changing the measure
in the slightest degree. The bill as
passed provides that Oklahoma and
Indian Territory shall constitute one
state under the name Oklahoma and
that Arizona and New Mexico shall
constitute one state under the name
of Arizona. Should the terms of ad-
minission be ratified by the residents
of the territories in question their re-
spective state constitutions must con-
tain clauses prohibiting the sale of in
toxicating liquors and plural mar
riages.
The constitution of Arizona must
prohibit the sale of liquor to Indians
forever and that of Oklahoma for
twenty-one years.
There are many other .stipulations
governing schools, courts and political
subdivisions Of the proposed new
states
Little interest was manifested in
the days proceedings aside from the
actual vote on the bill.
Basing his prediction on the great
future development of Arizona and
New Mexico, on the accomplishment of
his own state Mr.. Kahn, Cal, depicted
the wrong that was being done in
joining these two territories as one
state.
Mr.. Mondell, Wyo.. followed in the
same line. He depicted the time
when the Representatives of the flour
fishing west would object to the repre-
sentation accorded the dead and dying
east because of its past prosperity.
The debate shifted to the other side
at this point. Mr.. Cole, O., was OPP
posed to substituting hills for homes
and mountains for men. Mr.. Capron,
r. l., began his speech in favor of the
bill and said he would yield to Mr..
Hepburn if he would recount the ex-
perience of the territories of Maine
and Iowa. Mr.. Hepburn complied.
Mr.. Smith, Ariz., made a most en-
phatic denial of charges that the rail
road and mining interests were work
ing against joint statehood.
The roll call on the bill was begun
promptly at 3 o'clock In just twenty
two minutes the result was announced,
1914 ayes, $50 noes and answering
present.
"The bill is passed" declared Speak
err Cannon. Thirty-three republicans
voted against the bill.

Baptism, in the chapel of the little
Company of Mary, to sturdy little
American convert of eleven years.
Ills mother did her best to argue him

eminding him how much his dead
father was opposed to Catholics the
title fellow replied: ooh mother,

PAIN IN THE JOINTS
Rheumatic Tortures Cease When Or.
Williams Pink Pills Make
New Blood.

The first sign of rheumatism is fire.
1uently pain and swelling in one of
the joints. IL not combated III the
blood, which is the seat of the disease,
the poison spreads, affecting other joints
and tissues. Sometimes rheumatism at
tacks the heart and is quickly fatal.
The one remedy that has cured
rheumatism so that it stays cured is DR..
Williams Pink Pills. These pills expel
the poison from the blood and restore
;he system, so that the poisonous matter
is passed off as nature intended.
Mrs. 1. t. Pitcher, of No. 1870 Mon
mouth street, Newark. N. j., suffered
for about three years from rheumatism
before size found this cure. She says:
cit began with a queer feeling in my
fingers. In little time it seemed as
though the finger joints had Jumps on
them and l could not get my gloves on.
"Then it grew worse and spread to
my knees. | could not stand up and l
could not sleep nights. My suffering
was more than | can describe. took n
great deal of medicine, but nothing even
gave me relief until tried DIR. Williams
Pink Pills.
" 1 read an account of cure in case
that was exactly like mine and my hus-
band got me some of the pills. took
them for three weeks before J. really felt
better but they finally cured me.
Mr.. Pitcher, who is veteran and n
member of T.. d. Morgan Post, No. 307
of New York, substantiates his wife's
statement and says that she now walks
without difficulty, whereas a year ago
he was compelled to push her about in a
wheeled chair. Both Mr.. and Mrs.
Pitcher are enthusiastic III their praise
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

TWO new STATES
COMMITTEE ON TERRITORIES RE-
PORTS THE MEASURE.
FOUR TERRITORIES IN THE DEAL
One State to BE Known as Oklahoma
and the Other as Arizona--People Of
Former state To Select Their Capt.
tai After Nine Years.

WASHINGTON - Representative
Hamilton, Mich. chairman of the
house committee on territories, sub
mitted favorable report on the Ham
ilton joint statehood bill, which pro-
vides for the admission of Oklahoma
and IndianI Territory as the state of
Oklahoma and provides joint statehood
of New Mexico and Arizona under the
name of Arizona.
The report reviews the bill in de.
tail. explaining that the capital of Ari-
IONA is TO be at Santa Fe until 1915
and that the capital of Oklahoma Is
to be at Guthrie for the same length
of time, when the people can choose
their capital. this with justice to all
parts of the states. The report says:
"This committee considers the crit
icism as Informed which finds fault
with New Mexico because of its al
legged foreign population.
"Out of a population of 195,310 New
Mexico has only 1895 foreign-born
percentage than most of the states of
the union.
New Mexico was made territory
In 1860 and ever since that time the
people of that territory have been
electing their own legislature, making
their own laws, conducting their own
local government and contributing rev.
enue to the federal treasury
Were 1t not that the two-fifths of
the population which are native-born,
but of Spanish descent, have been
heretofore enormously referred to as
foreign. it would be an aspersion upon
patriotic people even to refer to their
loyalty. The remaining three-ffths of
its population are of the same charac-
ter as the people of Arizona.
or the alleged differentiation of
property In Arizona for purposes of
taxation which was warmly discussed
in hearings, the report says
at has a total assessed valuation of
taxable property, as shown by the re-.
port Of the secretary Of the interior, of
$57.920 372. but it is probable that its
property Is returned for taxation at
comparatively small percentage of its
market value In some instances, as in
dictated by government reports, at not
over 5 per cent. of it's actual value"
Concerning taxes in New Mexico,
the report says:
"The assessed valuation of property
within the territory for the year 1905
was s42,578,792, but it is asserted that
for purposes of taxation property is re-
turned at much less than 20 per cent
of it's market value.
The democratic members of the
house committee on territories pre-
scented a minority report today in op-
position to the Hamilton joint state
bod bill. After reviewing the resources
of the four territories of Arizona,
New Mexico, Oklahoma and Indian
Territory and declaring in favor OF
joint statehood for Oklahoma and In.
dian Territory, the report says there is
no more reason for joining New Mex
leo and Arizona than there would be OF
joining Alaska and Porto Rico.

err than expected and it turns out that
there was no serious effort to raise
opposition to it. Aside from few
personal inquiries, it is said senators
of the foreign relations committee did
not go into the matter of the charge
against the Nebraskan. 1t is not known

The nomination of D. e. Thompson to

The nomination of Mr.. Goss came as
no surprise, as the Nebraska delega-
ton last week unanimously agreed
that he should have the position.
