be seen grinding and turning.
The night on board both steamers
was an anxious one, despite the fact
that the officers assured everyone that
the shore could be easily reached and
that ample warning would be given II
the stout sides of the steamer showed
signs of being unable to Withstand the
pressure. Fishermen and many per-
sons from the city iourneyed out over

that the ice was jamming UP a bit on

st. johns, n F., May 20--The plight
OF the Allan Line steamer Monaghan,

precarious than ever, owing to a heavy
swell 1t was believed, however, that
the efforts Of the stout sealing steamer
Diana to open up lane between the
Mongolan and the narrow harbor

release of the coastal steamer Pros

to eXtricate herself.
In case the Mongolians sides should
give any indication of yielding before
the tremendous crush of the ice-pack
the experience OF the five passengers
who today successfully crossed the UNI
even ice field between the steamer and
the harbor mouth, assured the pas

avenue of escape lay open to them. To-

Senate Keeps on InCreas-
ing House Tariff Rates.
And Ten Republicans Keep on
Voting With Democrats.
House in Session Only Five Min.
utes, No Quorum Appearing.

Washington, May 20.--The Senate to-
dav distributed it's attention among the
three items in the tariff bill providing
duty on an extract of chestnut park
used in tanning, known as quebracho,
on cottonsead oil and on white lead. On
each of these articles the Senate was
led by the committee on finance, al
though the committee was induced to
change it's original suggestions on both
white lead and cottonseed OIL. me
lead duty fixed by the committee was
originally 2% cents per pound, but MI.
Curtis, who lis a member of the com
nlittec. today suggested a reduction OF
Il of a cent a pound, bringing the fig
ura down to PA cents and Chairman
AIdrich accepted the reduction.
even this increase over the House
provision excited sharp criticism. es-
pocially from Mr.. Curtis colleague, Mr..
Bristow, who contended that the duty
would prove to be direct tax on the
consumer. When the vote was taken
the committee obtained its usual tri-
nmph. the figures standing Al to 30 IN
favor Of the Curtis amendment AS
usual Senator's Beveridge, BristoW,
Brown, Burkett, Clapp, Cummins, Dol
liver, Gamble, LaFollette and Nelson
voted with the Democrats. Senator
Rorah voted with the Republicans.
Probably the most interesting contest
of the day was that over the question
as to whether there should be any du-
~ on cottonseed oil. Senators Tlllman,
Bacon ard Money made an intense
fight against the Senate provision NIX
inc tariff of three cents gallon. on
the ground that it would injure the
sale Of cottonseed and after the con-
troversy had gone on for some time,
Mr.. Aldrich withdrew the provision.
MIR. LaFollette sought to reduce the
duty on quebracho to one-quarter OF
one cent a pound, but his amendment
to that effect was rejected 20 to IS.
Daniel led the fight for a higher rate,
exciting much interest because of his
advocacy of low duties in the past. The
committee had reduced the House rate
and the Virginia senator in whose sttae
are several auebracho factories, sought
to have that figure restored. He did not
succeed and the duty was fixed at half
a cent per pound instead of * of cent
as he proposed.
At SIS P. NJ. the Senate adjourned.
