can Party for Campaign Funds Care
for Trusts Necessary.

Senator Frye's joint resolution t,

ma canal. which was brought up II
the senate Tuesday by unanimou.
consent. was the subject of an ami
mated debate on various phases o.
tn work of providing material for tn,
canal
Mr.. Frye stated that five millior
barrels of cement are to be used ir
the constructor of the canal and sale
that under the law American ship.
cannot compete for TRANSFORMATION
service, as British ships cost 33 1-3
per cent. less for both construction
and for their operation. His resolu.
ton was to give the trade to Amer
lean ships. regardless OF the differ
ence in cost. He submitted statistics
showing that there were 10 times as
much tonnage of Ameican vessels ms
was necessary to ship the cement
needed.
AN amendment by Senator Foster
OF Louisiana providing that the re-
striction should not apply to the Gulf
ports or any part of the United States
from which vessels of the United
States could not be secured for the
trade. was accepted by Mr.. Frye.
Senators Fulton, of Oregon. and
Bacon. of Georgia, sought to have
the amendment extended to the
northern Pacific and southern Allan
tic coasts. respectively. but were un-
successful.
Mr.. Lodge commenting on the pro-
priety OF securing cement on the is
thmus. said 1t would cost $1,000. 900
TO erect plant there for that purpose.
Mr.. Culberson said there was need
of protecting the United States from
extortion by the monopolies that
would he benefited by the resolution
Mr.. Bacon thought the resolution
should not leave the direction to the
president TO determine that American
ships should be given this business
when their charges were not extor-
tionate nor unreasonable He want
ed the restriction mandatory so that
every bidder could know what he
would meet in the way OF transporta-
ton.
Mr.. Tllman. declaring against buy
ing cement in the United States at
greater cost than elsewhere, called
Mr.. Lodge to his feet with the state
ment that if he wanted free cement
he should apply the same principle to
lumber and and other material used
on the canal or in this country.
Il would like powerful we'll to
have that done" retorted Mr.. Till
man. ''as I represent good many
farmers who would be benefited by
cheap supplies"
Mr.. Tllman added that the need
for campaign funds made it necessary
to look after the interests of the
shipping trust.
The resolution was then laid aside
until later.

A dispatch TO The News and Cour-

which occurred Friday morning as
result of which one man is dead
and another dangerously wounded.
AT about s o'clock Luther Hewitt.

mead, but missed the first time. Tho
second attempt, however, was sue
cessful. He held the pistol to his
right temple and fired, killing him
self instantly.
DR.. II. G.. Smith was hastily sum
moned, and reached the wounded
man within few minutes, and fnd-
inth that neither OF the balls could
be easily located, he decided to take
his patient to the hospital In Flor
ence, where he hopes that with the
use or an X-ray machine, the balls
may be located. extracted and the
mans life saved
The train from Wilmington to
Florence was at the station at the
time he examination OF Mr.. Hewitt
was being made, and Conductor
Jones kindly consented to hold tho
train for ten minutes until the
wounded man could be placed upon
1t, and this was done within that
time. DR.. Smith accompanying him
to the hospital.
The alleged cause of the trouble
is said to be that young Stephens
walked home from party last night
with a young lady to whom the de-
ceased was very much attached. But
the general impression among the
friends of both parties is that. Hew-
tits mind must have been unbalan-
ced, although he had not shown any
previous symptoms OF mental de-
rangement.
Neither of these young men Is
married. both of them living In the
mill village with their parents. The
deceased was son of Mr.. w. ID.
Hewitt the night watchman at the
mill. and Arthur Stephens Is the son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. b. Stephens. Both

FIND ODD CRAFT
ON A HIGH HILL
IN THE FAR NORTH
THAT MAY BE AN OLD RUSSIAN
FORT.

TACOMA, Wash, June S.-The
story of the existence of a vast craft
on the high hill overlooking the string
of lakes fifty miles from the head of
the Chandelar river has been brought
to Dawson by N. ]. Brown, a recent
arrival from that district The story
is vouched for by Brown and may be
taken as confederation of the remark
able report made five years ago by
Casey Moran of the existence of a
huge craft near the Arctic coast,
which was supposed by some to be
Noah's Ark.
The big structure, as described by
Brown, may have been a Russian
fort He believes it may have been
sort of floating fort in some of the
lakes of that vicinity, built and used
by the early Russians, and later
abandoned. The structure is one story
high, reaching twelve to fourteen feet
to the caves. 1t is 100 yards long
and made with copper nails, bolts
and washers. 1t has doors and win
dows in the upper works and bears
peculiar letters, said to be unknown
by any traveller yet in that vicinity.
Some Russian words also are letter
ed on the craft
Indians in the vicinity are in the
habit of going to nearby lakes to
fish. Some of them have used the
craft for drying salmon A majority
CT the tribe are superstitious regard
ing it, with the result that the en-
tire tribe has moved a hundred miles
to get farther away from the craft.
