STEAMER GOES DOWN
IN AN OCEAN GALE
Wreckage Washed Ashore
Leaves No Doubt of Fate
of 500 City.

ST. JOHNS, n. S, Dec. .4-Wreck-
age which came ashore at Cane Race
I,i.Nes little room for doubt that the
/ S'ui"y HttIe steamer 500 City, which
for twenty years piled as an excursion
NesseI on the Great Lakes, went down
WIN heE crew in gale that Iasbe0
the New FOundland coast for two days
OF last week. The 500 City was under
command of Captain John G. Dillon. of
Brooklyn, formerly commander of the
United States government transport
Missouri. The exact number of tbs,
crew is in doubt. II IS known, how
ever, that no less than eighteen mgly
were on board and I. has been reDnrt-
ed that the crew was increased recent
" to twenty eight men. The Sot.
City was sold recently by the indiana
Transportation company to Felix Jack
son, Of Velasco, Texas, and was being
taken to New Orleans, where it lad
been planned TO put her into service
between that city and Texas ports.
She carried no passengers. She was
hfst TO have been overhaulsd in New
York and for that purpose had been
consigned to Agent T. II. Franklin, or
that city.
The 500 City sailed from Michigan
City on November, ] and reached
Ogdensburg, N. Y.,.November II. At
tAat port she took on coal and added
four men TO her crew. Up to that time
the steamer was IN charge of CAPTAIN
F. V. Dority, Of Milwaukee, but at
OSdensburg, command was turned
over 10 Captain Dillon. She was last
reported at Quebec, November Ia. A.
week later. when nothing had been
beard from her, much anxiety was
felt, and on Monday last the vessel
was listed by the maritime exchange
as among the missing. The steamers
first mate was John Casey. of Chica-
go. Today the deck cabin and fit
ings and sixteen life preservers came
ashore These all bore the name 500
City, or other marks identifying them
as belonging to the lake steamer.
During the day life buoys, deck
boards and other gear unquestionably
belonging to the steamer were wash |
ed ashore
The 500 City was of 44S tons net.
and was built at West Bay City, Mich
In 1888. She was valued at s35. eco /
and hailed from Chicago.

IS FOR HARMONY
Gives Root a Clear Field For
the United States Senate
From New York, =.

| HOT SPRINGS, Va, Dec. Tim
othy l.. Woodruff buried ais boom for
| the New York selatOrship here re-
Gently after a long conference with
President-efect Taft.
As soon as he left the Taft cottage
Mr.. Woodruff prepared and issued a
statement that he had determined to
give Elihu Root 2 clear field for the
senate and thus promote party har-
mony in the state of New York. Later
in the afternoon Mr.. Taft supplement-
ed this with a statement of his own.
saying that in withdrawing Mr.. Wood
ruff had earned the gratitude of the
people of New York apd of the Re
publican party.
( Mr.. Taft said:
4 am very much pleased at the at
titude that Governor Woodruff has
taken in this matter He has been
moved by earnest desire to promote
party harmony and has established his
claim to the gratitude of the Republi-
cans Of New York and also of the
country at large for making it as GER
tain as possible that such a statesman
as Mr.. Root will be chosen to repre-
sent New York in the senate.
L am personally much pleased,
now that I have had to give up my
purpose to continue Mr.. Root in the
cabinet, that l shall have the support
and assistance he will render to the
administration with his great ability
and his knowledge of governmental
analrs, 1 am sure, from what / know,
That the action Of Mr.. Woodruff and
the election of Mr.. Root will conduce
TO great harmony among the Repub-
leans Of New York, and will strength
en- the party"
Mr.. Woodruff's statement follows.
I have learned from Mr.. Taft that
as it is now definitely determined he
cannot retain Secretary Roots sar
vices in the cabinet, he is very de-
sirous, but without interfering in the
matter, that ais administration shall
have the benefit in the senate of
the exceptionally valuable assistance
which Mr.. Root can render by reason
OF his intimate knowledge of all the
important matters with which The
government has been concerned dur
ing the Mckinley and Roosevelt ad-
All viii doubtless agree with me
that every right-minded supporter and |
well-wlshed of Judge Taft should

TRYING TO GET
CLEAR OF THE
BOND ISSUE
Chairman TaWney OF Appro-
priation Committee Figuring
On Public Disbursements At
Present Session.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3l-Chairman
Tawney. of the appropriation COM
mittee has done considerable work
since his arrival.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Tawney that
the big supply bills should be put for.
ward with all due expedition, and il
will be his aim to have them sent 20
the senate, or at east all but the gen.
eral deficiency and sundry civil bill
during the month of January.
Mr.. Tawney has therefore summon
ed all the members of the committee
and the Democratic members were
the last to arrive.
1t is expected that there will be a
otroI% effort made by tho committee
on appropriations - keen expenditures
down tt the limit.
And the present condition OF the ma
tiOnal finances is such as to warrant
the contention of Mr.. Tawney and his
co-laborers on the committee which is
known as the police OF the treasury"
Every day the reports as given cut
at the bureaus of accounts show that
the government is rum ng behind. and
that III ess something is done tn get
more money or to spent Jess. Uncle
Sam will be borrowing on his bonds.
But it is understood TO be the posi-.
ton of Judge Taft and those who are
close to him. that the treasury can be
reinforced without any further bond
issues. Mr.. Taft believes that the
right kind of new tariff bill will pro-
ducs sufficient income to run the
ccuntry in good shape and that too
without cutting down expenditures Or
establishing a policy that will curtai
the extensions and additions to the
navy. ....
~ ",ake matters brief, President
elect Taft stands for a revenue 'ariff
and 1t may possibly b. said Oy some
that this is the Democratic posi-: CT
The Democratic congress presided
over by Speaker Charles = Crisp and
Adlai z. Stevenson passed a iaIiC bill
In the campaigns prior to the PAS
sage of that bill a great !eal was said
and promised about 4 tariff fLr re-
enue only
1t seems to be I pep ar theme. and
the Democrats elecCed their house Of
representatives.
President Grover CleyeItli Was FIR
a revenue tariff, but as it will be re-
Called the bill which was sent 10 the
" Hlle ElOuS6 was SUCH q TdulSdl ljIp-
lection measure that Mr. Cleyel;i; ii
turned from it in disgust.
Raw and refined sugar wigs on re
free list under the much criticised
Mckinley bill. The Democrats whack-
ed on a duty on both products, and
the sugar trust has waxed so strong
since that it now boasts that it is
independent of congress.
What Mr.. Taft wants is a genuine
revision-a low line of duties that win
bring in revenues. Sugar will not be
free listed and the trust people owning
most of the sugar lands in Cuba, can
put up about $4,000, 900 OF revenue
There may be a little duty on tea
and coffee, and these, like the prices
of other commodities where the tariff
will be changed will not become high
er to the consumer.
President Taft, it is confidently pre-.
dicted, in his message converting con
gress in extra session, will dwell par
ticularly on the revenue producing
feature of the new tariff bill.
