Just before the Senate adjourned last
night, after having disposed OF the rail-
way bin, there was a sharp tilt between
the friends and opponents Of the State
hood bill.
Senator Beveridge, chairman OF the
Committee on Territories, In charge OF
the Statehood bill. was on his feet de-
handing recognition before the roll call
had been finally revised on the railway
bill
AS soon as he could command recogni-
ton, the Senator from Indiana moved 20
make the Statehood bill the unfinished
business OF the Senate. II was manifest
10 people IN the galleries that some OF
the colleagues Of the Senator from In
diana were laborlng with him 20 induce
him to forego some legislative plans he
had in mind.
Senator Aldrich was on one side OF the
Senator from Indiana. gesticulsting and
apparently trying to restrain him, while
Senator Clapp, from the insurgent camp,
was stroking the Senator from Indiana in
a repressfve way from the other side.
Il was evident TO those who witnessed
the struggle that Mr. Beverage could
When he submitted the motion on
statehood Senator Nelson asked him to
withhold It and permit another admin

to have the legislative right OF way. But
Mr.. Beverldgs would not yield. Then
Senator Bailey took a hand in the fray,
backed up by a strong Democratic sup
port in favor OF the statehod bill,
Senator Bailey warns.
Senator Aldrieh sought TO put a stop 20
the business by moving an adjournment.
but after Senator Bailey had warned the
Senator from Rhode Island that he would
gain nothing by adjourning the Senate.
Mr.. Aldrieh did not press his motion.
Later. however. Senator Kean, OF New
Jersey, renewed the motion, and a roll
call showed Mr.. Beverage defeated by

the announcement in the English press
that despite strong American competi-
ton. Messrs. Grif1ths & Co, OF London,

ern section Of the new longitudinal rail-
way in Chile" The contract price is

TIE .clgth of the line to be constructed
is 400 miles, through very mountainous
country. 1t will run from Csbildo TO
Toledo. a little south Of Copiapo. The
line will connect no fewer than seven
transversal railways, and In due course
viii form a section of the Pan-American
Railway
The extent Of the work may De realized
from the following figures;

London, June S.-No record of King Ed

After some hesitation the King had at
last been induced 20 consent 10 speak for

DEATH VALLEY.

Death Valley is the most barren
part of the Great American Desert.
More men have died In its arid
wastes than on any other equal area
of the worlds surface, barring the
great battleflelds. 1t lies, great sink
in the sandy plain, about two hundred
and fifty miles north and east of Los

twenty in number, travelling overland
by wagon from Salt Lake City, Utah,

solitudes, barely a man escaping.
In the March Wide World Magaz-

alone and unaided conquered Death
Valley in the hottest month of the
desert year. The tale of awful suf-
fering endured by this man, II. W..
Manton. of Rhyolite. California, is
told for the first Ume in his own
words
For almost a week Manton was lost
in the heart of Death Valley. In three
days he tramped eighty miles over
sands so hot that be could scarcely
walk on them, though shod with
heavy shoes. During those never-end-
ing days he had no food and but one
drink of water.
When he staggered up to Cub Lees
Furnace Creek Ranch. more dead
than alive, his tongue was swollen to
such size that his mouth could no
longer contain 1t. Els lips and eyelids
We're cracked open; his clothing in
tatters, and his shoes were coated
with a heavy encrustation of borax
and other alkalines, which had eaten
great holes in the ieather.
At first he could not drink, and the
touch of water was as fire to his
Iparched lips and tongue. Kind hearted
ranchmen and miners forced tho
precious fluid into his mouth with a
straw with a spoon-any way to get
him revived. And eventually he spoka
