New York, Feb. 23.--James J. Hill,
president Of the Great Northern Rail
way company, who has returned from
st. Paul, expressed the conviction yes
terday that the tide of prosperity is
turning and that there are are indica-
tions of significant recession in bust
ness. Mr., Hill phrased it, "the hills
OF prosperity are being reefed."
General policies Of retrenchment
are under way" said Mr.. Hill. "Less
money is to be spent on new work. The
effect OF this movement is being felt at
the present time in the falling off of
orders. The beginning of this move
ment is very evident in Chicago.
while would scarcely call it re-
cession in business; it lie more of
drawing in. The railroads are curtail-
ing their expenses and placing fewer
orders. On our lines we will finish
the work we have under way, and that
is all. +"

! Washington, Feb. 25.--Since Chair.
man Tawney, OF the appropriations
committee, called attention to the prob.
ability Of deficit Of 500, 600, 900, in
consequence ofxsthe large appropriations
made this session, there has been con-
siderable talk around the capitol about
defeating the river and harbor bill,
thus removing the possibility Of such
deficit.
The river and harbor bill as passed
by the house carried S83, 900, 900. As
amended by the senate, ii carries 1902,
900, 900, and the prospects are that, if
the conference committee agrees, it will
report <bill carrying in the neighbor-
hood OF 500, 900, 900, or approximately
the amount Of the deficit predicted by
Mr.. Tawney.
Friends Of the river and harbor bill,
since the rumor started, have become
active in urging prompt agreement on
the bill in conference, so that it will
not run the chance OF being talked to
death in the last day or two of the ses-
sion. If the report Is delayed until the
middle of the week, and few senators
determine to kill it, they will have the
bill entirely within their power.

HUNDREDS 1857.


! London, Feb, 22.-The worst disate'
fol many years in the history o. tht
husv cross-chanel traffic between Eng
lana and the continent occurred during
violent gale shortly before o'cloch
| this morning, when the Rotterdam
mail steamer Berlin, from Harwicb &c
| Hook Of Holland, having satisfactorily
weathered the hurricane, WAS wrecked
as abe was entering port.
Altogether 143 persons are either dead
or clinging bopeleesly to the wreck.
The terrific seas broke upon the
steamer with such awful suddenness
that attempts to save life appear to
have been utterly hopeless. Late to-
night it Is reported that few surviv-
ors wero cJinging to the wreck, but az
the heroic efforts all day Of the lifeboat
crews had failed to reach them, little
hope that they will be saved remains.
The cause has not yet been assigned
for the disaster and it probably never
will DO known how the steamer came to
MISC the channel. 1t is conjectured
that some arrangement Of the engines
or steering gear may have rendered the
vessel uncomfortable. Captain Pre-
cious has good record of IA years SER
vice.
The list Of passengers was lost, and
all the names OF those who we're on
board have not yet been learned, but as
far az has been ascertained there were
no Americans among them.
A terrific southwest gale was blow
ing inshore, and drove the steamer on
a sand bank close to the northern jetty
as she was trying to enter the new
waterway. Heavy seas quickly pound
cd the vessel to pieces. She broke in
two, her fore part sinking immedi-
ately, while the doomed passengers
and crew clustered upon the after part.
