1NATTENTIvE SENATORS.
Democratic Steering COMMITTEES
Takes Up Laxity Of Minority.

The democratic steering committee of
the Senate today took up the subject of
inattention to business on the part of mi
nority senators in committee meetings and
on the floor of the Senate. During the de-
bate which was had recently on the Frye
bill requiring supplies for the Isthmian
canal to be shipped in American bottoms.
complaint was made by some democrats
that the minority of the committee which
reported the bill was unfamiliar with its
provisions. 1t was argued today that at
a time when there was danger of legisla-
tion having a direct bearing on national
politics the minority should make it
point to acquaint itself with all bills taken
Up in committee so to he ready to lead
the fights if it should be the policy of the
party to oppose such bills
No rule was adopted, but it was under
stood that Senator Culberson. the minority
leader. will prod the democratic senators
to closer attention to business. The steer
ing committee decided to appoint Senator
elect Gary to all of the late Senator Lati-
mer's committees. with the exception of
agriculture. which will be given to Sena-
tor Gore. Senator Gary will be appointed
also to the committee on privileges and

TO BE DECIDED ON MERIT.
Contests of Delegates to the Chi
cago Convention.

LAS member of the national commit
tee. can say that the committee will
hear all contests and will decide each
case on its merits. sustaining justice and
party regularity. with no thought as to
the preference of the contestants for any
candidate or candidates"
This. in part, is the answer that Harry
S. New. chairman of the republican ma
tional committee, makes to recently pub
lished assertions that the committee will
be CONTROLLED by one candidate or COM
bination of candidates. and that there
fore. the presidential nomination to be
made at Chicago will be determined prac-
tically by the national committee.
When Chairman New visited Washing
ton a short time ago he had conferences
with members of the national committee,
at which the participants pledged them
selves not to permit their personal pref
ercnces as to candidates to enter into the
consideration of the claims of any man to
a seat in the convention AS delegate. In
effectinS this agreement they stated
frankly that they were looking beyond the

FOG HORN MISLED.
Big Steamer Goes Ashore on Massa-
chusetts Reef.

WOODS HOLE, Mass. March IA
similarity between the fog signal on the
new Hen and Chickens lishtship and that
on the Vineyard Sound lightship IS said
to have been the cause of the grounding
of the British steamer Silvia. from New
York for Halifax. n. s.. and ST. Johns,
n. F., on the Sow and Pigs reef at the
entrance TO Vineyard sound. just before
dawn today. The thirty-five passengers
on the Silvia, among whom were the crew
of the wrecked schooner Beta, expressed
themselves as willing to remain on the
stranded steamer until the tug Orion,
which was also bound east made trip
to this port for help. Arrangements were
made however to take them off this noon
and send them to Boston.
At the time of the accident there was a
thick fog, but the sea was smooth and
there was scarcely any wind. The fog
cleared later in the day.
The Silvia grounded within short dis
tance of the scene of the wreck of the
steamer Fairfax IN November, 1898. and
II was the opinion of mariners of this
place that she would have considerable
difficulty in eXtricating herself from her
position.

DRASTIC ANTI-BETTING BILL
MAY BE INTRODUCED.

The Acheson anti-betting bill and the
District Commissioners substitute for this
measure were considered this morning by
the judiciary subcommittee of the House
District committee, of which Representa-
tive Campbell of Kansas is chairman. At
ter the meeting. which was an executive
session. Mr.. Campbell said that the sub
committee had decided that neither the
Acheson bill nor the Commissioners meas
ure was sufficiently broad and comprehen-
sive in scope. and consequently had au-
thorized him to prepare a measure to meet
their views. This he will do at once, with
the idea of introducing the bill Monday
Mr. CampbeIrs bill will be an extremely
drastic measure and will absolutely pro-
hibit any and all forms of gambling at
any and all places within the confines OF
the District of Columbia. Mr.. Campbell
has not much hope of getting this bin
before the House inside of month. al
though by pushing it along. he fancies
there is chance of getting it on the cal
endar for next District day, March %.
