close the Maine, for it must be as
long as city block and as high as
a six-story building, from the bottom

would prabably exceed the total ap

So what the engineer probably will
do is to make a thorough preliminary
investigation. This will cost a good

In fact, it is reasonably certain that
congress will again be in session be-
fore the results are known and the
engineer can tell just how much
money it will cost to raise the ship

supply the de cheney in the appro-

to carry out the wishes of congress,
twice expressed, that an effort shall
be made to raise the wreck of the bat

in twenty-seven feet of slime and

use as much of the money as may be
needed to make a thorough examina-

only known method of raising a ship

surround her with a cofferdam from

BULLET PASSES ENTIRELY
THROUGH BODY OF LoUIsIAN-

CHICKEN FOR WHICH BULLET
WAS INTENDED.
BY Associated Press.

+. Oak Grove, La, June 27.-Robert
Roberts, of this place, believes that he
bears a charmed life. The town gen.
orally agrees with him.
Roberts was a guest yesterday of
his neighbor, Jacob Mocha. To cele-
brate the occasion McGaha decided to
have fried chicken for dinner and in
yited Roberts to help corral a puliet.
When the host fired a Winchester
rifle, the chickens neck was severed
and at the same time his guest was
perforated by the bullet on the re-
bound. The bullet passed entirely
through Roberts's body. In spite Of
this he ate the chicken dinner and
the doctors say he will get well.
A few weeks ago Roberts was
digging a well and while thirty feet
below the surface of tie ground barely
escaped a falling iron rail from the
ton. The brim of his hat was wrecked
but he escaped unscratched.

Washington, May IA famous
claim against the government in
which the heirs of George Washing
ton would receive s305,000 may be
settled next week by the action Of
the house committee on private land
claims, which is expected to report
favorable to the house a bill to that
effect. There are several heirs Of
Washington who combined in making
the claim, which has been pending
through several congresses.
George Washington was entitled,
under the Virginia law, to some $4,000
acres of land as recompense for his
military services, but he declined to
accept it and took instead warrants
for 1850 acres Of land in Ohio This
tract was located in the northwestern
reserve in what was known as the
Virginia Marylands."
It was claimed that Washington
paid the taxes on the land up until
the time OF his death and that his
administrators paid it until 1897 If
the expected action is taken by the
committee and approved by congress
the government viii allow the heirs
$335,D in gold in lieu of the land
