STEAMER CORONA
 ON HUMBOLDT BAR
Over a Hundred Lives Endangered Though But One Fatality. HeroIc Efforts of Many Brave Men.

Eureka, Cal. March 1.-The steamer Corona, Captain Boyd. considered the best boat in the Pacific Steamship ser vice between this city and San Fran cisco lies straddling the north jet " on the Humboldt bar, a hopeless wreck. The Corona with nearly one hundred passengers aboard, struck this morning as the captain was attempt ing in the teeth of a stinging wind and a terrific bar flood, to drive her into port.
 The usual scenes attendant upon a ship wreck followed. Passengers rush. ed into tine social halG Some women were hysterical and some men were palsied with fear but reassuring words from the crew and some of the calmer passengers brought quiet. Thereafter the passengers assembled upon the hurricane deck. where they remained until the rescue work was undertaken this afternoon.
 Soon after the ship struck. the boat in charge of Quartermaster Gum, was lowered away. It contained three Of the crew and three stecrage passen- gers. This boat capsized at once ir the boiling surf and H. Erickson. a Swede. was drowned. Gum and the others succeeded in reaching shore. tht life saving crew under Captain Hennig having gone to their assistance. The second boat in charge of the second of ficer. E. w. Joenn. was put off. IL was badly battered and leaking like a sieve but the boat reached the shore. Mean while T. H. SOthern. night saloor watchman. formerly a marine in tho United States navy. stripped to the waist to carry a line ashore. A smal line had been tied about his waist ana parted before he had gone far. SOth- ern was picked up by the life savers.
 Several attempts were made to shoot a line aboard with the Lyle gun but each time the line fell far short Finally it was decided by Captain Hennig and the life savers to go out in the pillows and they made as gal lant a voyage as ever man undertook, finally reaching the side of the Corona and picking up the line. Within a short time after the Corona struck. news of the accident was communi- cated to EurcAI. and several thousand people during the day went to the beach opposite the wreck to watch the work of rescue. Several unsuccessful attempts were made to work early in the day. but it was not until 4:15 that Captain Hennig and his men worked effectively. At that time the ships boats also commenced working and at 5:46 Captain Boyd. the last to leave the ship. stepped Upon the shore. The passengers were brought to this city. Nearly all of them had been drenched and some were suffering greatly from cold. exposure and nervous shock. All are being cared for tonight.

DENATURED ALCOHOL.
The Bill For Stills of Small Capacity
 Passes the Senate.

Washington. March 1,-The denatured alcohol bill passed the senate today by a vote of G. to l. Senator Pettus of Alabama cast the negative vote This action was taken after the committee amendment requiring the presence of a government storekeeper wherever alco- hol is being manufactured had been de feated. The bill as passed contained a senate amendment permitting rum t0 be denatured. Consequently the meas ure must be returned to the house for action.
 The bill is intended to make it pOssl- ble for farmers to establish stills of limited capacity for the manufacture of alcohol to be denatured.
 Conference reports on agricultural sundry civil, the naval and postoffice appropriation bills were agreed to.
 4 bill was passed granting a pen sion of $50 a month 10 the widow of the late General Joseph R. Hawley.

ONE LIFE WAS LOST
 ON KlIf-SHAPfD TRACK
The Open Switch as Usual Responsi' ble for the Disaster.

San Bernardino. Caiif.. March l. Well laden with passengers. including many eastern visitors, the Santa Fe passenger train which daily makes a trip around the kite shaped track. ran through an open switch a mile north Of Colton about four o'clock this after noon killing one passenger, fatally in- turing the engineer, and inflicting more or less serious injury on over thirty others.

THE SALToN SEA.
Opinion of pr. MacDougal Who Has
 Been Investigating Conditions.

Tucson. Ariz.. March 1.-(Special.)- pr. D. D. MacDOugal, head of the de- sert laboratory has returned from an expedition undertaken short time ago to explore condition at and near the SaltOn Sea. He reports that he esti- mates the area covered by water at 700 square miles, which is consider2- bly, larger than any former estimate.
 The week before the break was closed at the intake the water was ris- ing an inch a day and since the intake has been closed it has remained prac- ticaIly stationary. He believes this is due to the fact that a considerable amount of water is emptied daily into the sea by the Alamo and New rivers. which in turn are supplied by desert seepage. due to the heavy rains of re- cent months He does not credit the theory of an underground flow from the gulf
 The doctor says that owing to the river seepages and other conditions he does not think the sea. will fall to ex- ceed fifty inches during the coming summer and that it will be long time before the basin Is entirely dried up.

offered by the democratic members. The minority report urged the passage of the bill in its original form. Mr Weedin called attention to the circum. stance that the republican party had always used the flag as an emblem. He was willing to admit that he was trying tO rob the republican ballot Og it's only redeeming feature but he was doing so in his earnest desire to save the flag from desecration. The minor- fly report was adopted and the bill went to passage. On the vote MT. Hunt said that as a democrat he would vote against this bill tO prevent the dissertation of the flag but as a mem- Der of the flag committee Of the Sons of the American Revolution he would have to vote for whatever protection Of the flag the bill provided. Mir Weedin alone voted against the hill on the principle that it failed of its full purpose.
 The finishing touches were put on the legislation excluding women from saloons. The house substitute for council bill No. 2 was favorably re- ported and immediately passed by UR- animOus vote.
 THE HOUSE.
 Several bills many of them of a local character or unimportantly amenda- tory of existing acts were introduced into the house. 4 few of them how ever. were general MT Hampton in- trOduced one measure providing that the maintenance of the territorial in stitutiOns should be effected by direct appropriations instead of by tax Ie- vies.
 Mir. Coleman introduced a bill pro. viding that service might be taken on the territorial auditor in actions against foreign corporations and that thcr.. should be paid a fee of t10 annually for this service. the fee to be turned into the territorial treasury This bliI is likely to incur the opposition Of the various firms engaged in the fncOrpOr- ating business
 Mir. Bailey introduced a bill fixing rates of interest. Mir Hampton raIs- ed an objection that that matter was already covered by the organic act The bill was sent to the judiciary ccsn- mittee.
 Council bill = passed the day before and house bill 26, both relating to toll roads and particularly to the Bright Angel trail were made a special order for this afternoon.
 MT. Hampton introduced a bill pr1- viding for the expenditure of s75Ge by the territory in the reconstruction Of I school house at Clifton to replace one destroyed by the flood. It was stated by the introducer that on account of the state of funds of the school district there was no other way to get a school house there

ADAMS ALlDI
 MAY STICK
Under Ruling of Judge
 Wood Against State
The New Evidence Secured at a Late Hour Cannot Be Admitted.

Wallace. Idaho. March 1.-The sharpest fight that has occurred in the long trial of Steve Adams for the mur- der Of Fred Tyler ended this morn ing in a notable victory for the de- fense. when Judge Wood announced that he would overrule the petition of the state for permission to recall Mrs. Arthur Phillips and then reopen the case for the prosecution. The tes- timony to be given by Mrs. Phillips was regarded as vital for the case of the state. it having been discovered that the date on which she heard the shCts that killed Tyler was Sunday. August :, and not Wednesday. August 10. as assumed an along by the state.
 The defense. it is conceded. had been able to establish a strong alibi for Adams on Wednesday. but had left unguardcd the morning of August :. on which date Mrs. Phillips now claims the shooting occurred The states new theory is that it would have been easy for Adams after the shooting to travc! to Mason's cabin in time to take part in the birthday din- ncr at which his presence is so well attested. All this new evidence the defense is now able to exclude.
 The principal witness for the state in rebuttal. this morning were w. B Chandler and Miss Mamie Sherer oi Spokane. who testified to having mel Jack Simpkins in the St Joe country on Aug. 24. The case will probably go
 to the jury next Tuesday or Wednes- day.
 Stenographer Hubener. who took Adams confession and Warden Whit ney of the penitentiary were called by the state and testified that Adams said. 'I do not want my wife to suffer for my crime" The last witness foi the state in rebuttal was George H Root of Wallace. He testified to meet ! ing Simpkins and Adams at the meet ! ing of settlers in the Marble Greek country. the first of August when tn, matter of claim jumping was discuss | ed. The defense announced that it haI no further witnesses. The argumen | began this afternoon.

At One Time the Opposition Was Strong
 Enough to Defeat It
Only the Concurrence of the House is Now Necessary to Send the Denatured Alcohol Bill to the President.

Washington. March 1.-The house this afternoon passed the ship subsidy h:n after one of the most interesting fights seen in recent years. On the lirst vote the democrats and insurgent republicans had enough to defeat the measure but after three hours of fierce contest the pIu as perfected in the committee of the whole striking ou; the provisions for steamship mail lines from Pacific coast points to the Orient was finally passed by eleven majority. Fifty-two republicans Yot- ci with the democrats on the first lallot and four on the final ballot
 After the Tassage of the ship sub sidy bill the general deficiency bill was taken up and passed. An amend neut by Grosvenor of Ohio was adopt ed. giving to all employees of congress a months extra pay. On a point Of order made by members from the Pa cific coast the proposed reduction of mileage for senators and representa- tive5 from twenty to eight cents a mile went out
 MT. Littauer oc New York and MT. Tawney offered amendments to the general deficiency bill for the reclas- sification of the clerical forces of the departments of the government but they went out on a point of order. There was no debate on the amend ment permitting the secretary of the treasury to receive from the Cuban government money to reimburse the amount paid out by this government for the present intervention. The house agreed to a conference report on the pOstoffice appropriation bill.
 4 bill was passed providing for the creation of an industrial peace com mittee which is to administer the S4O.OO0 which the president received from the Nobel peace prize.

TAXATION OF THE MINES.
The Special Message of Governor
 kibbey in Joint Session.

Both branches of the legislature con- vened in the assembly chamber at two o'clock to hear the reading of the gov- ernOr's special message on the subject of the taxation of the mines which ap- pears elsewhere in this issue of The Republican. The message consisted of about 10000 words and its reading Oc- cupied an hour and a half It was a presentation of the governors we'll known objections to the Doran bill and the outline of a bill Of his own along previously we'll indicated lines. His bill accompanied the message.
 The governors bill contains only two important features but they are so im- pOrtant as to revolUtiOnize the exist- ing system of taxation. One of them provides for d minute classification Of the mines by which valuations may ba raised or altered by the territorial board of qualification. The other com pels boards of supervisors to accept the raises of the territorial board as well for the counties as for the terri tory. Other changes relate to dates Of

ONE SIGNAL BENEFIT
To LIFE INSURANCE
life Insurance independently

Among the signal benefits of life iH-
surance secured by State Auditor Biz
heimer of Indiana. was the suppression
of the so-called "Policyholders' Guar
antee and Abstract Company" of In
dianapolis. This concern has been
for several years engaged in the bust
ness of pretending to furnish actuarial
and technical information to insured
persons concerning their policies. In
practically every case. no matter in
what company the policy was carried
an unfavorable opinion was given. and
the insured was advised to drop the
policy and take non participating in
Surance instead. Likewise the con-
Germs representative always intimated
his readiness to supply the new insur-
ance himself.
The information furnished the poll
cyholder was generally not only of no
value, but more often than otherwise
incorrect. 1t consisted of just such
criticisms. valid or otherwise. as any
one might suggest against any exist
ing policy For this miSinfOrmation
the victim was charged a substantial
fee. and in many instances. as is gen
orally the case in the twisting business
was led to sacrifice his insurance al
together. frequently without taking
the new policy offered.

CIARED THAT UNIVERSAL
PEACE AND DISARMAMENT ARE
UNATTAfNABLE.

The Hague, June 15-When NJ. Mel
idoff, the head of the Russian delega-
ton called the second general assem-
knights today, the representatives of
forty-six governments, covering the
entire civilized world, responded. 1t
it doubtful if ever before in the
worlds history has so representative
a body of men gathered at any one
place The feeling among the dele
gates as the conference opens is one
of strong hope.
Immediately after calling the con-
fere nee TO order NJ Nelidoff read the
Cars message TO the conference.
which is to form the foundations OF
its work NJ Nelidoff declared that
universal peace and disarmament
were unattainabe. His utterances,
although pessimistic, were hopeful
The wonderfully strong influence
which the United States is to exert IN
this conference is becoming more and
more evident. Great Britain, France
and Spain are more than willing TO
have the United States take the lead.
Emperor William is not disposed to
accept the American leadership He
has no confidence in the American
idea of a permanent tribunal and the
ultimate development of The Hague
conference into an international par
lament and it is to be feared that the
powerful influence of Germany will be
thrown against any action in this di-
rectiOn
