Not a Particle of information Has
Been Picked up About the
Government Tusboat
Nina.
MAY HAVE FoUNDERED
Left Norfolk, Week Ago Sunday When
the Waves Were High and
Broke over
Bows.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 1.-THE
naval and revenue service vessels,
which have been securing the coast
for trace of the missing naval tug
Nina, reported to the navy department
today their failure to find any trace of
it and the only news that has been
picked up concerning 1t is bad news.
The revenue cutter Gresham, which
Joined the search in the vicinity of
Boston, came up with the tug Savage
which left New York at the same time
on Sunday morning, a week ago, as
the Nina. The commander OF the
Savage reports that the sea was run
ming SO high that he put back after
passing out through the cape. The
Nina. however, kent on with the sea
breaking over her bows.
1t is still thought possible that the
Nina may have been blown out of her
course and may be picked up later,
but the hope is faint one and the
officials OF the department admit that
| the chances of finding the lost YES
sci are very remote. 1t is likely that
the Nina became overladen with ice
which would increase the danger OF
her laundering. making her not only
1unmanageable, but top heavy. The
search is being continued.

BRYAN ADVOCATES
THE WATER WAGON
Will Tell His Friends That the Demo.
cratic Party Should Abandon
the Liquor interests.

LINCOLN, Neb. Feb. 14-W. j..
Bryan advocates and defends the
principal of county option in an edi-
torial prepared for the next issue OF
the Commoner. Mr. Bryan indicates
his desire that the democratic party
accept his view by concluding his
declaration with the statement that
"the party cannot afford to act as the
mouth-piece of the liquor interests.
LIT cannot hays anything in common
with the selfish. mercenary and con-
sciousless crusade that the liquor in
terests have organized against the
home and the state, against private
virtue and public morals"
The editorial also contains the fol.
lowing expressions: ITO favor coun-
ty options it is necessary that one
shall favor prohibition in his own or
any other county. Ones devotion to
popular government ought not to de-
pend upon his approval of any particu-
lar form of government. The people
have right to govern themselves and
their right does not depend upon how
they exercise that right"

IOWA COAL IS
MOVING SATISFACTORY
Only Two Complaints Last Week to
the Railroad Commissioners
on That Account.

DIES MONIES, Feb. 14.-There was
noticeable easing up of the car stu
alton in Iowa during the past week.
SO far as coal shipments were con-
cerned, only two complaints being re-
cetved with reference to delay in that
commodity. The number of com
plants, however, received by the board
with reference to inability to secure
cars for shipment of corn was consid-
cradle. The commissioners notice to
the railway companies to give corn
preference over all freight except live
stock and perishable freight is having
its effect. Upon investigation by a
member of the, board it transpired that
the difficulty in moving corn and 9th
ey freight in Iowa has not been so
mach the fault of Iowa railr jads as
tiat of lines east of Chicago. This
found the yards full of loaded cars
destined to eastern points, which the
railroads could not flanule. on account
of lack of motive power and for the
further reason that their eastern ter
minals were congested A number of
Iowa railroads last summer ordered
new locomotives, which are Just now
heing received for use ia Iowa terri
tory.
The raost important case filed with
the commission this last week was the
application of the Greater Des Moines
committee for the revision of the
grain rates in Iowa. No date has as
yet been fixed for hearing.
There were two complaints with
reference to station service. one from
Roselyn and the other from Berlin;
one application for more side tracI
room and one claim for overcharge
The rest of the complaints referred tc
cars for grain and live stock.

RsOublican Leaders are Greatly Pleas
ed With the Address Made by
Mr.. TAFT on Saturday
Night.
HIS BACKBONE rs SHOWN
Insurgents are Most Effectively Silent
About it and Decline to Make
Any Comments just
Now.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Adminis-
tration republicans in congress- were
made comfortable by President Taft's
speech before the republican club in
New York Saturday night. AS an
"opener' for the campaign which is to
lie waged aggressiyely to retain con-
troll of the house it Was declared to
be timely and effective. The admin
istration or standpat republicans
were not the only members OF the
party in congress who pronounced the
presidents speech an effective polit-
ical utterance The near insurgents"
were pleased.
One republican senator from west
ern state said that the president had
supplied in his speech the only thing
lacking to make him an effective lead,
er of his party backbone. He said:
Heretofore, in his desire to please,
which is one of Mr.. Tait.s qualities,
the president has appeared to temper
lie. He spoke out courageously. The
people Ike aggressive and well
defined leadership
The insurgent republican senators
as rule declined to discuss the
speech. Senator La Toilette, for ex-
ample, begged to be excused from
making any comment at this time.
He referred to some Of the figures Civ.
en- by the president to prove that the
Payne-Aldrieh, tariff law was re.
vision downward, and said that he
desired to analyze the figures more
carefully. Senator LaFollet1c caused
to be prepared in the bureau of sta
tistics and had published - a docu-
ment tables showing that the law was
not generally revision downward. At
the presidents request, Mr.. LaFollette
submitted the table to him while the
tariff bill was under consideration. but
after Senator Aldrich had pointed out
certain alleged faults in the exhibit
Of the senator from Wisconsin the
president rejected it. Senator La
Toilette may have something to say
later in reply to the presidents de
Tense of the tariff law.
The western opinion of the presi
dents speech was forcibly expressed
by Senator George Sutherland Of
Utah. member of the judicial com
mittee.
"The speech is timely and a yer!
strong presentation of the matter tht
president discussed, framed In yer!
excellent temper said Senate
Sutherland. His analysis of th'
operation of the Payne-Aldrich tarii
law is very clear and convincing. TIL
presidents statements With refer
ence to purely business questions ar
particularly fortunate. He makes
perfectly clear that the laws are t
be enforced as they should be. bu
honest business has no cause for al
prehension on account of anything NJ
