upon something sufficiently firm and
held on, the fellows staring up silently
at the bullying side, and touching the
thick sheathing of ice as though half
demented.
Make fast. Break the Ice out of
that ring, Kelly, and pass stout rope
through it. Now furl the sail, the
rest of you. Fend her off, Cole; that's
all right, keep your oar there. Mr..
De Nova, you will remain in charge
of the boat. I'll see what she looks
like aboard; Johnson, come along with
me-"
/ picked my way forward into the
bows and stood up, striving to obtain
some kind Of grip on the forechains
which would enable me to haul myself
up Everything l touched was ice, so
thick as to render objects shapeless.
"Give me a lift, Kelly; easy, now,

will do, my lad"
1t was a slippery, dangerous perch,
the vessel plunging somewhat, but the
upper ice was slightly powdered with
snow, yielding little purchase, and
finally discovered brace for my feet
which enabled me to reach down and
assist Johnson to scramble up beside
me. Fortunately the bulwarks were
not so high proportionately as wide,
and we succeeded in sliding over
them, coming down rather heavily on
the solid deck. Here the snow made
walking possible, although underneath
the ice was thick and smooth, COM

mock of ice rose like great hill from
abaft the butt Of the foremost, which
stuck up maybe 30 feet, clear over the
foreeastle deck, leaving everything
shapeless and grotesque. Where the
slope was steepest, the wind had swept

He was some minutes at the task,
and l occupied the time in kicking
aside some of the litter in the galley
and making the dreary interior a bit
more decent, having the men pass up
some spare blankets, and spreading
them out on deck. Finally Kelly and
the negro scrambled up, and between

ONE DOODLE SOLON
MUST WALK PLANK
Result of Albany Inquisition Will
Seal the Fate of Either
COnger or Aids

ALBANY, n. Y, March 27.-The 40
members of the state senate, who COM
prise the jury in the Allds-Conger brib-
cry case, will vote Tuesday on the ques-
tion of whether Senator Conger has
succeeded in making good his charge
that Senator Aids, while majority Lead
er of the assembly in 1901, demanded,
received and accepted $1,000 for inf1u-
encing highway legislation.
Should the verdict be against Aids
he viii be given an opportunity to re-
sign. Otherwise a motion will probably
be made to eXpel him. If the senate
decides that Conger has not proved his
case and his resignation is not forth
coming, motion to eXpel him probably
will be made.
Senator Aids declared before the in
vestigation began that If the charges
were true there were two senators un-
fit in the senate" If untrue, then one
is unfit"
There is reason to believe that if the
charges are sustained and Aids re-
signs or is expelled an effort will be
made to expel Conger if he does not
resign.
With the Aids case out of the way
the question of a broader investigation
of alleged corruption will have to be
settled.

RENO, New. March 27.-The news OF
the sudden death Saturday night at
Berkeley, Cal. of Beulah Stubbs, former
wife of John Sunderland, democratic
national committeeman for Nevada,
caused regret here, where she was
prominently socially.
Miss Stubs was the daughter of }. Z.
Stubbs of the Hartman system, and
was born in San Francisco in 1881. she
was married in Chicago. in 1902, and
lived in Reno ever since. Ill health
practically forced her retirement, and
she has been an invalid for several
years past.
Several days ago Beulah Stubbs left
for the coast to visit schoolday friends
and relatives, and at that time seemed
well and in good spirits despite the
recent ordeal in the divorce courts,
where she obtained a decree March 16
last.
Friends here scout the idea that her
domestic troubles had the effect of
Fastening her end.
Prof. j. E. Stubbs, president of the

Mann to Father the
Railroad Bill in House
Administration Measure Will Be Presented by
Representative Who Was in Opposition

the friends of the bill on several oc-
casions and has given them his assist
ance in framing amendments.
SENATE IGNORES HOUSE
Not the slightest consideration is be-
ing given by the senate to the attitude
of the house on the bill. The chances
are when a conference is held the two
measures as passed will resemble each
other very little. That being the case,
the act will have to be made in con-
ference. It is clear that the senate
conferees will be strengthened by the
influence of the White House.
More force is being exerted by SEN
ate leaders to carry out President
Taft's views on the railroad bill than
on any other administration measure.
1t would surprise no one if the con-
servation measures should go over un-
til another session. 1t is also certain
there is hard road ahead of the state
hood bill, although the democratic SEN
atorS have given some indications or
demanding an agreement that a vote
be had on the statehood bill as the price
of giving an open road to the railroad
measure
Appropriation bills are being passed
by the senate about as rapidly as they
are received from the house. The spirit
of retrenchment which has a firm hold
in the senate committee precludes the
enlargement of the bills to any extent.
The naval appropriation bill is before
the house now and there is in prospect
a sharp contest over the question
whether there shall be constructed two
big battleships or only one, as the mi
nority of the committee favors. A sim
liar fight will ~be made in the senate
where many favor cutting down the
appropriations for the navy and army.
POSTAL SAVINGS BANK
The postal savings bank bill is ex-
pccted to come out Of the house COM
mittee within few weeks. There is
considerable sentiment in favor of
amending it so as to insure the keeping
of funds in banks in the vicinity where
collected.
If the row between the regulars and
insurgent republicans is at an end. as
leaders of both factions profess to be-
lieve, it would appear that congress
may be expected to adjourn about June
Is. there are indications, however. that
the fires of the recent contest are
smoldering and may break out at any
moment.
Considerable talk is heard about
eliminating Cannon from the speaker
ship and Saturday the idea was ad
vanced that Asher c. Kinds, the par
Humanitarian of the house, might be
favored for that place.

OBSTRUCTIONOF
CRATERS MAY
CAUSE QUAKE
Flow of Lava From Mount Etna
s Decreases, but Internal Ac=
tivity Is Stronger
American Authority Declares the
Mass Must Force Passage
T.: or TembIOr Will Follow

CATANIA. March 27.-While the guam
tity Of lava from the craters of Mount
Etna continues to decrease, the interial
activity of the volcano was stronger
today than yesterday.
p Frank A. Perret, the American author
1ty believes the decrease in the flow Of
lava is due to obstructions in the new
.craters. which prevent it flowing freely,
and that IN a few days the molten mass
--either viii force a passage or an earth
quake win result.
Perret went today from Nicolosi to
the Alpine club refuge, which is situ-
sted near the craters, and later tele-
Eraphed down as follows:
The activity Of Etna today is strong
er. but the lava is slower. Terrific ex-
plosiOns in the interior of the mountain
continue"
