"The facts Of the collision win be
threshed out in the courts. We will
sue the owners of the Florida and they
will very probably sue us. We will
issue no statement as to who we think
is TO blame for the affair. The cap
tains aud officers Of the Republic and
the Baltic are now being examined
thoroughly in regard TO the collision
by our attorneys TO facilitate the pre-
paratiOn Of our case In court"
do you wish to say anything re-
garding the statement Captain Fenlon
of the Standard Oil Line, that the Re.
public could have been saved?"
THAT statement came to us as a
letter" said Franklin. land we win not
discuss it,"
"What about the statement that the
Florida was running at the low speed
OF five knots?r
Five knots? Do you think a ship
running at that rate of speed coulc.

public was directly in her course, and

'The crew Of the Republic Will be
taken care of and sent to the points

Sealhy allowed him to try.
Captain Fenlon in his report to his
officers declared that he reached tho
scene of the wreck at $40 the morning
Of the disaster and offered his services
but they were declined. He was vel
acquainted with the coast at this point
and claimed that with the facilities az
hand he could have heached the Re
public where she could have been
saved by wreckers.

FEDERAL JUDGES.

G ENATOR Rayner, Of Maryland, wants

out, has the power to make such change in the
appointing law. but what reason is there to be-
lieve that such change as the Maryland Sena-

JACK BINNs. WIRELESS OPERATOR.

II HERE is nothing at all OF hystcria in the
remarks of Congressman Boutell Of llli-
nois, when by unanimous consent he addressed
the House on Monday with reference 70 the work
Of 'hero inemergeQcy." A pan no less than
the late John Hay celebrated il song the heroic
deeds of Jim Bludso, and Mr. Hays verses have
been inspiration 10 more than one man now
grown up who as a schoolboy delivered the
verses with halting rhetorical effect before the
assembled school children of a Friday afternoon
many years ago. Halt as he might however, the
boy somehow could not forget something hui
manly wonderful in the man of whom Mr.. Hay
sang. and the example of this same Jim Buldso
has been shining one-whethcr he remem-
bcred it or not,--n the lives of good many men
who have gone about their tasks honestly and
fearlessy
Mr. Boute did pretty big thing in the way
OF herosm himself when he halted the business
OF a vast nation to call attention TO Jack Binns
the operator OF the wireless telegraph apparatus
on board the good ship Republic, now, alas gone
20 the Port OF Missing Ships.
Mr. Boutell said, among other things "Binns
has given the world a splendid illustration of the
hcrosm that dwells unseen in many who are
doing the unnoticed tasks OF life That it fell
tc the part OF Binns to show what stuff was in
him was a TACT which must stir feeling of envy
in the hearts of men with good red blood The
mere TACT that George Washington led the Con-
tincntal Army IS no proof that had he not been
there there would have been other to take his
place That Lincoln was man who saw duty
and did it earlessly is no proof that another was
less fearless. That Jack Bnns, in the face Of
death itself stood at his post clear-headed. sure
handed and called the big steel angel Baltic,
as the Sun called her. out of sheer space to the
rescue of a thousand souls, is no proof that John
Robinson would not have done the same thing
with like opportunity. That the opportunity was
that of Jack Binns must be a source Of great graf
iicaton for him. That attention has been thus
publicly called to his deeds is right, and CRATE
fully and very gracefully done by Mr. Boutell
Those of us. koweNer who sit by and watch
the course of events may we'll thank our lucky
stars that the good round world is full of lust
