OHIO WRECKED BY
UNKNOWN ROCKS

Seattle. Aug. 30-Captain F. E.
Burns, manager of the Alaska Steam
ship company. whose steamer, Ohio
struck an uncharted rock in an un-
lighted channel off British Columbia
last Thursday and was lost. said to-
day.
ut was not more than a few years
ago that the statement was made
that only vessels OF ten-foot draft
could use the inside passage between
here and Alaska. Year by year, In a
natural response to the increase of
trade with the northwest. steamships
of deeper and deeper draft have been
making the run.
"The Ohio drew twenty-five feet,
consequently she ran the risk OF strik-
ing submerged rocks not charted on
the maps drawn to safeguard navlga-
ton when smaller navigation was the
rule. So long as the larger ships
make the Alaskan run there is CON
stant danger unless the inside passage
is thoroughly surveyed and every
menaee TO navigation at a reasonable
depth charted"

Washington, Aug. 30.-The PROPOSE
tion made to the Cuban government
by an Argentine firm to raise the
wreck OF the battleship Maine recalls
the fact that heretofore under the
auspices of the United States con-
tract was given 10 an American con
Germ for this purpose. Some of the
armament, several Of the bodies that
remained In the hold. and records OF
the ship were secured. but the effort
to raise the vessel was abandoned.
Just What the attitude of the Amer
lean government may be towards a
proposition to raise the vessel is not
known Heretofore it has been held
that congress alone has the authority
to say what may be done with the
wreck and that no executive depart
ment of the government could abandon
the governments claim TO the vessel,
Presumably. therefore. whatever
may be done in the matter will require
the final consent OF the American gov
