Cruiser Yankee Sinks in Deep
Water
AFTER BEING FLOATED
Government Vessel Had Been on Rocks
Three Months, Floated Of Yester-
day Afternoon, Sank This
Morning.

New Bedford, Mass. Dec. 5.--The
cruiser Yankee which was aoated of
the docks yesterday afternoon after
being for three months on the Hen and
Chicken reef at the entrance 10 Buz-
Yards bay, sunk at four o'clock this
morning in the deep water of the Pen.
mixes island. The cause Of the sinking
was the bursting of a plug in a com.
partment. Capt. Marsh and the as
wreekers were taken to New Bedford.
The vessel lies on an even keel and can
easily be raised.
Report comes from the navy de-
partment that the work Of raising the
cruiser will be started at once.
The Yankee got stranded during a
fog, and for months her bow has been
high and dry AZ low water. The navy
department worked on the vessels for
three weeks and it was predicted that
she never would be gotten or. During
the past month John Arbuckle Of New
York, with his compressed air apparat-
us, has been working over the Yankee.
The water was blown out OF the COM
partments, making it possible TO patch
the holes in the bottom made by the
rocks. That done, two tugs were hitch
ed on and yesterday afternoon at four
o'clock the vessel responded to the pull
and foated off the rocks, being towed
then, stern first, under the leo of PEN
mixes island, where she anehord.
Capt. Marsh has rmained by the
Yankee almost constantly since she
first struck, and he has expressed con.
fidence that the vessel could be foated
and be made serviceable.
Newport, r. l., Dec. 5.--The floating
of the Yankee is regarded by naval
officers here as a distinct triumph for
the new compressed air wrec<ing
methods which have been pursued nm
der the direction OF John Arbuckle of
New York, who tackled the job Of rails
ing the vessel after the navy depart.
ment had practically given ii up.
The Yankee was on her way from
Cnltyhunk to Newport for coal when
she ran on The shoal early IN the morn
ing Of Sept. 23. during dense fog.
Under Naval Constructor Washington
i. Capps efforts were made to raise the
vessel, and she was lightened of every
thing movable, but the efforts were f.
anliy abandoned.
At this iuncture John Arbuckle Of
New York, the well-known sugar re-
finer and philanthropist, came forward
with a proposition to float the vessel
by means of compressed air.

SAME ASANARCHY
Defiance of Constitutional Au-
thority by State Officials
Is Thus Characterized by Con-
gresham Jenkins (Wis.)
DISCUSSES DECISION
In the Minnesota and North
Carolina Rate Cases,
Say Talk of States Rights Is
Absurd and Ought to Stop.

Washington, March 25.-That there
is no difference between the anar-
chists who defy constitutional author
ity and state officials VINO disregard
it, is the opinion credited to Repre-
sentative Jenkins (Wls.) chairman of
the house judiciary committee, in an
interview published in the Post to-
day:
THE decisions of the supreme
court must be upheld unless we want
anarchy in the land" Mr.. Jenkins is
absurd talk about states rights as
commonly and long understood.
.. ought to cease .,
Referring to the recent decisions
of the supreme court in the Min
nesota and North Carolina cases Mr..
Both cases meet my unqualified
approval and I think the decisions
will meet with the approval of all
good citizens, Democrats and Repub-
licans. north as well as south. The
decisions are timely and a just re-
Duke to state officials who have been
SO active in making trouble between
state and nation. I speak as friend
of the state and have never by my
| vote, allowed rights to be invaded or
their powers limited.
There is absolutely nothing to find
| fault about. 1t is not a blow at
states or a blow at states rights. The
proper tribunal decided the constitu-
| tional question involved Have con-
ditions in this nation come to this
| that state officials are going to open
| ~ defy federal power, properly exer-
| cised under and pursuant to the con-
| stitution?
How can we expect anarchists
and the people at large to respect
and obey the law when state Off
| Gals openly and defiantly disobey 1t
and advise a disregard of it, and talk
about an appeal to arms and state
| pride to oppose constitutional author
| ity. There Is no difference between
| the action of anarchists and those
| who openly defy constitutional
| authority They are law breakers
| for the constitution is the highest
| law in the hand and what has been
done has been performed strictly ac.
cording to constitutional authority
'sThis absurd talk about states
| rights as commonly and long under
stood ought to cease. There is abso-
lutely no danger to the states; nc
intention to deprive them of any
power.
eff every time a citizen says he
| has been prevented from enjoying his
constitutional rights by the act OF
some state and the action of the su.
preme court of the United States j.
appealed to and happens to decide
the case in favor of the citizen ant
against the state we are going t.
have the state power say that the,
will even go to the extent of fighting
it will not tend to perpetuate tn,
government or protect the citizen il
the enjoyment of his rights, for on,
disturbance will bring on another.

TO Be HOME FEB. u.
Battleships to Return on Washington
Birthday Next Year.

Washington, March 25.-The battle
ship fleet will visit China as we'll as
Australia and Japan, and will be home
on Washington's birthday, that Presi-
dent Roosevelt may participate in the
welcome before his retirement from
office ten days later.
An earlier departure than July 6
from San Francisco is being contem-
plated in arranging the extended
itinerary. This. however, will depend
on the repairs necessary when the
ships reach that port. Admiral Evans
reported today that splendid progress
was being made in the target practice
at Magdalena bay.
Nine of the ships have already COM
pleted their work. These are the
Maine, Alabama, Illinois, Minnesota.
Georgia, Louisiana, Ohio, Kentucky
and Kearsarge- The impression pre-
walls at the department that the Maine
and Alabama may be detached and
their places taken by the Nebraska and
Wisconsin. The two former ships NAV
be in need of overhauling.

VISION should be made for collecting
Iull material which will enable the con-
sress elected next fall to act immed-
iately after 1t comes into existence. This
woulo necessitate some action by the
congress at It's present session. perhaps
In the shape of directing the proper
committee to gather the necessary in
iormatlon, both through the committee
itself and through government agents
VINO should report to the committee and
should lay before it the facts which
would permit 1t to act with prompt and
lntei1gent fairness. These government
agents, If 1t is not deemed wise to APP
point individuals from outside the pub
lie service, might with advantage be
members of the executive departments
designated by the president, on his own
motion or on the request of the commit
tee, to act with it.
am OF the opinion, however, that
one change in the tariff could with ad-
vantage be made forthwith. Our for
ests need every protection and one
method of protecting them would be
to put on the free list wood pulp, with
corresponding reduction upon paper
made from wood pulp, when they come
from any country that does not put an
export duty on them.
+. Ample provisions should be made for
a permanent waterways commission
with whatever power is required to
make it effective. The reasonable ex-
pectation Of the people will not be met
unless the congress provides at this
session for the beginning and prosecu-
ton Of the actual work of waterway
Improvement and control The congress
should recognize in fullest fashion the
fact that the subject of the conserva
ton of our natural resources. with
which this commission deals, is literal
ly vital for the future of the nation.
Numerous bills granting water power
rights on navigable streams have been
introduced. None Of them give the gov
eminent the right to make a reasonable
charge for the valuable privileges so
granted, in spite of the fact that these
water power privileges are equivalent
to many thousands Of acres of the best
coal lands for their production of power.
Nor is any definite time limit
set, should always be done
in such cases. Shall be
obliged hereafter, in accordance with
the policy stated in a recent message,
to veto any water power bill which does
not provide for a time limit and for
the right of the president or of
the secretary concerned to fix and col
lect such a charge as he may find to
be just and reasonable in each case.

HORRIBLE EXAMPLE.
Saloon Men Will Give Springfield, Ill.
Lesson in Closing.

Chicago, March 25.-A dispatch to
the Record-Herald from Springfield,
ILL.,, says:
Voters on the anti-saloon PROPOSE
ton in Springfield next month are to
be shown the horrible example" in
an entirely new aspect, if the Spring
field Liquor Dealers association
adopts the plan proposed by an en-
thusiastic clique of its members. 1t
is planned to give the people of
Springfield an evidence of what the
capital city will resemble under the
suggested order of things by volun-
tarily closing every saloon in the
city for two or three days prior to
the election. The VETS are hope
full of an overwhelming revulsion OF
sentiment with the practical illustra-
ton.
