Madness; the CLEAN of pursuing ice

passage through those w~ind-lashed
channels; how We ever kept upright
under the pounding of that sea; how
the Sea Queen ever shook her trem-

and water, and rose staggering to the
crest. Once our engines broke, and
for two hours we rolled helplessly,
while Mcknight and the Chilean tin
kered at the damaged machinery, and
the great waves buried us, and
smashed the charthouse into frag-

in a vast wall. It caught Dade open

smothering backward and flooded the
cabin a foot deep in icy water. Yet
we held to 1t, our eyes aching, our
limbs frozen, our oilskins stiff with
ice, the exposed flesh Of our faces one

 The call was potable in two respects. Not only had Mir. Foraker and former President Roosevelt been at swords points, but the friendship between Taft and the Standard oil senator had been lukewar1n since the exciting days of the national campaign.
 Foraker took the initiative Being in Washington on legal business, he dropped around to the Presidents offices this morning and the two were closeted to- gether for half an hour. It Is said that no politics was discussed
 A battle, royal is impending in Ohio however. The state must be won back by the republicans. If Gov. Judson liar mon ia reelected he will become a most formidable opponent of Taft in the next presidential campaign. For the sake of the party, therefore, all the republican factions fin Ohio are striving to get to- gether that united front may be pre- scented 70 the enemy.
 With the call of F'oraker today ths former White House list of undesirables Is practically wiped clear Tillman has honored the office with visit. Bailey is a frequent visitor. General Miles drops in when he comes to town and fraternity and peace are the watchwords all along the line.

MORNING PAPERS
 STUCK BY STRIKE

Denver. January l5.--Probably for the first time in it's history Denver break Tasted today without its usual morning newspaper. The cause was between the publishers and the local organization of the International Pressmen's union. which reached a climax yesterday. Although yesterdays conference was continued un- til long after midnight no basis for an agreement could be reached and the publishers of the two morning papers decided not to make any attempt to pub fish this morning.
 The demand of the local union origi- nally was for a seven hour instead of an eight-hour day and an increase of $1 a day, the conditions to date from March l last. These conditions were agreed to but before the final adjustment could be made the pressmen demanded time and g half for the extra hour they had worked under, the new scale from last March. The publishers refused and the lockout followed.
 The increase of q day and time and a half for the extra houI since last March will aggregate between $l5,000 and $20O00 for the four local dailies.
 An agreement for one year was signed by the union officials and the representa- lives of the local newspapers and the strike was settled.

 We see many reasons why hides are ruling higher today than in former years. Regarding the advance in price of hides, leather and shoes there are several req sons. First, we have the disappearance of former grazing territories; second, the elimination of the large cattle owner; thiid, the necessity of raising of fodder cattle; fourth, the tendency of the young farmer to leave the farm for the city,
