to Keep Awake Finally Land at
 Point Cove.
 Navesink, x. J., Nov. 27.-Half dead | of exposure, hunger and exhaustion two young men drifted on to the Jer- sey shore at Point City cove, about fifteen miles from Atlantic Highlands in d disabled fifteen foot sloop and after being revived at a nearby hSher' mans cottage told a remarkable story of having drfted at sea for over sev- enty-two hours in the face of the cold rain and stiff wind of the last three i days without food or drink.
 After being piled with hot coffee and gruel the young men told their story They said they were Charles Losee of Ninety third street and Fifth avenue, Brooklyn, and George DOff of Ninety second street and Battery place, Brook lyn. They left their homes on Satur- day for an afternoon of deep sea fish ing Having chartered the fifteen foot sloop Island Queen, they left Fort Hamilton at about noon and proceeded to a point about mile and a half out side of Sandy Hook. They intended to return home at nightfall and so took no provisions with them except a few sandwiches and a couple of bottles of ginger ale.
 No Light on Board.
 While shifting their position late in the afternoon on Saturday a sudden squall struck them. They had been so occupied with their fishing that they had not noticed the storms approach. The wind blew gale, and before they could reef their sails the mast was snapped off short.
 A heavy sea sprang up immediately, and they had all they could do to keep the boat from being swamped. By cutting loose the wreckage and. bailing for several hours they succeeded in keeping the boat from filling. but by the time they had got out of this dan- ger darkness had come on, and they could not tell where they were. By the swell and the direction of the wind the nearest bearings that they could take told them they they were many miles. off shore. They searched the boat and found that there was not a light of any description on board, so they had to sit up all night. They were in imminent danger of being blown farther out to sea or run down by larger boat and so kept up a con tinual shouting all night long.
 ScantiIy Clad.
 Both young men were .iightly clad and suffered terribly during the night from exposure to the rain and sleet. When dawn broke they rigged up an improvised signal of distress with d piece of Losee's shirt tied to the boat hook and divided the day into watch es, each taking turns at sleeping be- low. The fog was very thick all day Sunday. and it was impossible to see except few yards around them. The rain and sleet continued, but they kept up their vigil all day long.
 Their suffering during Monday had been terrible, but when darkness fell they repeated their tactics of tke night before, both remaining on deck and shouting at intervals to warn any ap- preaching boat of their. proximity.
 By dawn yesterday the two men, all most frozen, had to kick and pound annh nthnr fn Eaan from uoinu fn SIaon During the day they recovered bit by taking alternate rests below. They simply lay in the bottom of the boat until it struck on the shore, and they were carried to the fisherman's cot tage half unconscious.

OTHER LAND FRAUD.
Forestry Bureau Declared to 30 Re-
sponsible for More Loss Than
ANY Other Department.
HOW RAILROADS BENEFIT
Debate In Congress Makes Charges Of
A Grave Nature Regarding Ad-
mlnlstratlon Of Land
Lawn.

Washington, Feb. 1s.--Last weeks
comment regarding the increase in the
salary Of Mr.. Pinchot, led Mr.. Fulton
to make general criticism Of the ad
ministration Of this bureau. The SAL
airy increase was agreed to before MT
Fulton took the floor.
II undertake to say" said he, that
of all the frauds that ever have been
perpetrated on this government: Of all
the losses this government has ever
incurred through the operation Of
any department, 1t has lost more. and
greater frauds have been perpetrated
under the administration Of the for
estry bureau than under any other de-
partment Of government"
Mr.. Fulton said much had been
heard about land frauds in the West,
but as a matter Of fact the govern
ment had never lost a dollar under the
timber and stone act, but had lost
millions Of dollars under the admins
tration of the forest reserve statue.
Persons entitled to land In areas OF
forest reserve had been given scrip
for an equal quantity Of land without
regard to its quality outside such re-
serves. This vast area Of most mag
nificent timber land In the Northwest
had been taken by persons who had
relinquished worthless lands In other
sections.
Mr.. Garter suggested that the gen
eral land office originally had ruled
this scrip did not apply to holdings Of
land grant railroads; yet the score
tary of the interior had reversed this
ruling and had permitted the roads to
exchange large areas of their worth,
less lands for valuable lieu lands.
Messrs. Flint and Perkins of Cali
fornia declared this criticism did not
apply to the forestry bureau but
rather to the secretary Of the interior.
Mr.. Flint said the president in a re-
cent message had said there had been
30 percent Of fraud against the pub
lie land laws.
II do not challenge the presidents
message, but do challenge the
facts" asserted Mr.. Clark of Wyom-
ing.
Replying to a digestion Of Mr..
Beverage that no one had impunged
the honesty Of these officials, Mr.. Car
ter said:
II regret calling in question the mo-
tives or integrity Of any public Off
cial. As to the secretary of the In
terror, have ventured no opinion. As
to the basis on which his action has
been hypothetated from time to time
| should certainly scrutinize before
final Judgement as to his dealings with
the railroad land grant companies"

Topeka, Feb. Ex-senator J. M

day that he regretted that his vote

question. He further stated that he
felt that the senate was q body OF
lawmakers whose duties were OF q
public nature and that the public were
entitled to all information which could
only be disseminated through the
press. Senator Hamme concluded
with the remark that he felt that the
senate had done the Star an injustice
and that he would introduce resolu-
ton to the effect that the correspond
emit Of the star be rsiAstatsd to the

as to the cause, It is generally under
stood that the discharge Of the men
is due directly to the advent Of or

ment that they are here for the pur-
pose Of unionizing the camp. 1t is
the general expectation that before
