Of Mammoth Proportions.

Engineering history fails to disclose a
cofferdam of the mammoth proportions
which would be required to inclose the
Maine, for 1t must be as long as a city
block and as high as five or six story
building-that is. from the bottom of the
timbers to the top. Its cost would prob
ably exceed the total appropriation. So
what the engineers will probably do is
to make a thorough preliminary investi-
cation. This will cost a good deal Of
money and occupy much time,
In fact 1t is reasonably certain that
Congress will again be in session before
the final results are known and the en-
gineers can tell just how much money 1t
will cost to raise the ship. Then. if Con-
gress should decide to supply the def
cheney In the appropriation the wreckers
will go ahead with their work. Other
wise 1t seems probable that the Maine
will be broken up and removed piece
meal from the bottom of the harbOr.

But the engineers are frank to confess
that they do not know the extent OF the

their present idea is to alse as much of
the money as may be necessary to make
a thorough examination of the wreck and
the surrounding bottom Of the harbor.
The only known method of raising a

surround her with a cofferdam from
which the water can be pumped. allowing

arouse him she could get no response
She looked into the room and saw her
son living as though dead. She Thought
she saw blood on his pillow. but was so
frightened she did not investigate fur-
Their. but notified Jacob SCHUYLER, an en-
pIoye. and the latter soon discovered that
the young man was dead.

ceased. who resides at Mount Rainier was

was a wound in the lip and the right eye
was much swollen and black. A ,32-cal-
iber revolver with one chamber empty,

Surprised at Roosevelt.

Referring to a report he says he has
heard, that Col Roosevelt has promised
to make at least one speech in Massachu-
sets next fall. urging the reelection to
the Senate OF his friend Lodge. Mr.. Ames
says: 1T is hard to believe that the for
mer President will lend himself to the
political support of one. even though a
friend. who has consistently violated in
Massachusetts, all the moral teachings Of
which he is the great exponent"
Senator Lodge Is in hard straits. Mr.
Ames processes to believe.
1T is reported that in his present ex-
tremity." he says. fearing to seek re-
election on his long public record in
Congress and in the state, his one hope
is that Mr. Roosevelt may create new
confidence in his behalf by speaking for
him as an old friend"

Representative Butler Ames Of Mass
achusetts yearns to exhibit the scalp
and wear the toga of Senator Henry

in his head for some time. but only yes

his candidacy for the Senate and gave
frank expression tc his Views concern
ing Mr. Lodge.
Mr.. Ames statement is nothing il not
bitter in it's attack on the senator. He
declares he decided to become a can
didate for the Senate only after failing
to induce anybody else Ito take up the
fight against Boss Lodge and his po-
litical machine" This same machine.
he says. for many years has been part
and parcel of lobby that has piled its
trade at the Bay state capital.
This machine" he asserts, backed
by all the large corporations and all the
state and federal patronage at his
command, has for many years served
as a ready and efficient tool to crush
out all political ambitions and opinions
not sanctioned by Mr.. Lodge. His
orders have gone out to crush. not only
for his own political ends, but to ad-
vance the selfish financial schemes Of
the large railroads, banking and manu-
featuring interests he serves in the
halls Of Congress as well as in the
Massachusetts legislature"
