80 PERSONS LOST
WHEN FERRY SINKS

LUD1NGTON, Mich.-Thirty hVes
were lost when Pere Marquette Terry
No. IS. bound from Ludington 10 MIL
waukee went to the bottom OF Lake
Michigan.
Tho disaster was one of the w;fst
in the history of navigation on Lake
Michigan. The car ferry Pere Mar
o,ette No IS, was the flagship OF a
feet Of six steel car ferries owned
and operated by the Pere Marquette
Railroad Company.
The boat was valued at 100000,
and the cargo. which included 20 load
cd cars at 100000 to $4,000. The
tota, loss will exceed 100000, which
is fully covered by insurance.
The cause of the disaster is mys-
terv Among the survivors the conclu-
sion seems to be that the car ferry's
after water compartment filled
through an oper or broken headlight,
which was followed at the last min
,te nv a bursting of bulkheads.

ALASKA GOLD VALUED
AT $4,000 STOLEN
Lead Pigs Are Substituted TOT
Ingots While in Transit
TO Seattle.

sEATTLE.-Gold bullion valued II
ss7, 500, part OF shipment OF s4'o'ooo
from the Washington-Alaska BANK u
Fairbanks. Alaska, to the Dexter-Hoi
Ton National Bank of Seattle, on the
steamship Humboldt, was stolen IN
transit and lead substituted IN the
strong box that had contained the
bullion.
The gold when 1t left FAIRBANKS
on a Yukon River steamer lor Da"-
con and White Horse was contained
in three wooden boxes and was IN the
care of the Alaska-Pacific Express
Company. When the boxes were
opened by the Canadian customs OH
Gals at Dawson the gold bars were
found tn he as stated in the express
company's papers.
The boxes were opened again at the
United States assay office IN oeae'ie'
and one contained pigs of lead, not OF
gold. The seals of the box were III
fac. when it reached the ONCE ana
# was evident that the robbery had
been committed by removing one
end of the box. The gold was IN
sured against LOSS by the express
company.
1t is supposed that the gold was
stolen on the Yukon steamer between
Dawson and White Horse, or on the
steamer Humboldt between Skagway
and Seattle. There would have been
small opportunity for robbery in the
essay office or in the short railroad
run from White Horse to Skagway.
The gold weighed $50 pounds, and the
disposal of such heavy plumber must
have required time and preparation
The gold was in the pursers CABIN
and it is not customary on the gold
ships to take elaborate precaution
against robbery.
Detectives working on the case have
made no arrests, and say they nave
no cIew on which to work.

Char Pitting Successful.

CHEHALLIS.-Harr Thompson, of
Seattle, and H. W. Sparks, of the Puy-
allup experiment station, are engaging
in some interesting experiments with
the char-pitting process of burning
stumps on logged-off lands. Mr.
Thompson is a government agent and
the work is being done with the pur-
pose of issuing bulletin on the sub
ject.
The plan consists in brief in build
ing pile of kindling about the
stump. The fuel is then banked over
with earth, small opening being left
for lighting. When the fire is started
it is covered over and the blaze does
it's work, effectually following the
roots in every direction.

MINORITY REPORTS
ON BALL|NGER CASE
Democratic Members Join in
One and Madison, lnsurgent,
Presents Another,

Notwithstanding to walt
until all the members of the inyestl-
eating committee could be called TO-
gether to make report upon the
r-Pinchot-Glavis Investigation
the four Democratic members and one
insurgent Republican prepared ana
gave out reports finding against the
secretary of the interior.
The insurgent member is Represen'
tative Madison, of Kansas. He made
a report of ais own.
Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, chair
man of the investigating committee,
refused to have a part in the proceed
ing. Three Republican members, OBJ
jecting to action in the absence OF
those of their colleagues who could
not be present, absented themselves.
Senator Nelson, after giving notice OF
a meeting in Chicago September IL,
left the room and the committee,
which had been without a quorum,
was without chairman.
Absentees Issue Statement.
The Republican members who were
in the city but did not attend the
meeting, issued the following state
ment defining their position:
I'm view of the refusal of a minority
of the committee Wednesday to post
pone action until the members of the
committee known to be coming could
arrive at Minneapolis, and their evil
dent purpose to attempt to make the
action of minority the official action
of the committee, without consider
ing their refusal to discuss the evil
dence at the forte meeting, and in
view of the fact that at the former
meeting they promulgated to the pub
lie their decision of he case, which
had no validity whatever as official
acton, and yet amounted to a con-
elusive prejudgment of the case as
far as said minority were concerned,
We insist upon an opportunity for the
full membership of the committee to
decide the case which was committed
% them by law, and we must there
ore decline the invitation of the gen
lemen assembled to meet with them.

January 81.
The work comes from a lengthy
New York run with a proceeding repu-
tation of being the best vehicle for the
artistieally humorous. Mcintyre and
Heath these quaintest of comedians
have had, and it is said to show great
dancing and choral work of it's dainty
chorus than had the much praised and
well-remembered predecessor, THE
Ham Tree which has been judged as
a standard for this class of bubbling-
ly light entertainment.
The story of two rollicking negroes
who by force of circumstances become
involved in a financiers scheme to
control the markets of Hayti and the
resultant rocket-like revolution, is one
that lends itself we'll to the comic per-
sonalities of Mcintyre and Heath, and

credulous nature of one of the darkies
and the contrasting staggering blus-

or more He will follow this witness

timony that Herman had knowledge
of the fraudulent practices which are
alleged to have prevailed in handling

The prosecution is now making an
effort to connect Hermann by circum
stantial evidence with the conspiracy.
has shown that Hermann discussed
the creation of the reserve with Mays
while in Portland, and is now showing
~ government documents, by Her
nann's letters and evidence of the
and office employees, that Hermann
Knew of the fraudulent practices with
he school lands within the boundaries
of reserves created and that knowing
these practices he consistently urged
in his annual reports and otherwise
| that the lieu land act be changed and
repealed and tl.at he had declined to
recommend the creation of reserves be-
cause of these conditions.
Decision as to the admissibility or
the commissioner letters went over
until tomorrow.
Over the strenuous objections of the
defense the prosecution succeeded in
securing the admission of correspond
ence between Hermann and the late
Senator John H. Mitchell carried on
during the latter part of 1901 and the
forepart of 1902. These letters re-
ferred to the Cascade forest reserve
and exchanges for land therein made by

writing:
