SHIP is UNCOVERED.
Bodies Lying in BattIeship Maine
viii Be Reached Soon.

Havana, June 15.-The work of
removing the water from the Golfer
dam inclosing the wreck of the bat
tleship Maine will be carried to a
point low enough to reveal portions
of the wreck submerged for 13 feet,
in a few days, including a part Of
the midship section Immediately af
fected by the explosion, the whole
quarterback and a portion Of the
berth deck, in which it is believed
lie most of the unrecovered bodies
This was determined after a CON
ference today between General Blk
bee and Colonels Black and Patrick,
following a minute examination of
the wreck. The board of officers was
fully satisfied that the stability of
the cofferdam warrants them in pro-
ceeding with the pumping operations
The most powerful pumps will be
put to work to reduce the level to a
point which will permit the partial
exploration Of the upper part of the
after section from the stern to i'm
mediately forward of the engine
room space, where the explosion sew
cred the forward section, including

Well knowing that their quarry,

to the water and escape, the natives
attach to the wood holding the spear
a long line which ends in float; thus
the great beast can always be located,

The hippo appeared In the ancient Ro-

Of Job.
The hippopotamus is rapidly disap-
pearing from its old haunts in Africa,

WANTS WITNESSES.
Steel Trust Attorney Would Like
10 Make Suggestions.
Chairman of Committee Says They
I. Will Determine Who to sum-
mon When Time Comes.

Washington, June 15.-The United
States Steel Corporation intends to
suggest to the Stanley Steel Trust
investigating committee the calling oil
witnesses whom the committee NAV
overlook and who may throw light
on matters in question in the inquiry
and also to suggest that questions
be asked of certain witnesses If the
committee fails to bring out facts
possessed by such witnesses.
H. V. Linsbury, counsel for the
steel corporation before the commit
tee, declared this to be his intention
today at the close of the examination

the steel corporation, in answer to
an inquiry by Representative Young,
of Michigan.
1T is our intention" said Mr.. Lins-
bury ito suggest questions over

witnesses whom we think in all fair
ness should be called"
The committee will exercise its
discretion as to whom it will sum-
mon,' said Chairman Stanley.
"Of course, | assume" Mr. Lins
bury replied, that the committee
would not refuse to summon wit
nesses we suggest"
That will be determined when
the suggestions are made" Mr.. Stan
ley replied.
The committee will not meet again
for several days, probably not until
next week after the passage of the
wool bill in the house. The future
course will be determined within a
few days. Among the first witnesses
to be called when the committee re-
sumes will be James Farrell, presi-
dent of the steel corporation.

STRIKE FARES BADLY.
Little Enthusiasm Is Shown and
Spread of WaIkout Not Feared.

London, June 15.-The seamen's
strike was formally declared tonight
at London, Glasgow Cardiff Bristol,
Southampton, Liverpool and other
British ports, and also at Belgian
and Dutch ports, but the chances of
any great international strike seem
remote.
So far as indications show, the
confidence of the shipping federation
is well placed. for at hardly any Of
these ports was enthusiasm displayed
for the strike, and the ship-owners
maintain an attitude of indifference,
seemingly satisfied they will have
no trouble in filling the places of
the strikers.
There appears very small hope
here that either Germany, Norway
or Denmark will come into the move

ROOSEVELT ON STAND.
Ex.President and j. p. Morgan May
Testify in Steel Case.


Washington, June 14,-Frank B.
Kellogg, special counsel of the De-
partment of Justice in the prosecu-
ton of the Standard Oil company
and known as the trust buster,
told the Stanley steel trust inyesti-
eating committee today that he had
for years been special counsel of sub
sidiary companies of the United
States Steel Corporation in Minnesota
and that he had no apologies to make
for it.
Chairman Stanley declared that the
committee would summon anyone
be he the President of the United
States or j. Pierpont Morgan-to as
certain how certain railroads, owned
by the steel trust were able to de,
clare enormous dividends on small
capitalization. 1t is probable that ex-
President Roosevelt and Mr.. Morgan
will be asked to appear before the
committee when 1t holds sessions in
New York.
THE chairman and this commit
tee" said Mr.. Stanley, want to know
how and why certain railroads are
able to pay 100 or $50 per cent divi-
dends and put $4,OOO,OOO or $5,OOO,OOO
into their surplus, when their capital
ization is only 100000 or $6,OO0,O0O.
That may be all right, and it may
not
I'VE shall summon the President
of the United States, j. P. Morgan or
any other person within the power
of the committee, to get the whole
truth and nothing but the truth
Il think we ought to summon both
those persons" said Representative
Young, of Michigan, a member of the
committee.
You mean the ex-President of the
United States, don't you?" asked
Chairman Stanley.
Yes, of course" Mr.. Young re-
piled.

FRUITS OF VICTORY DENIED.
Insurrectos Angered Because Entry
to Chihuahua Is Refused.


Chihuahua, Mexico, June 14.-Four
thousand federal troops, commanded
by three generals, are patrolling the
streets here, determined that the vic
torious insurrecto army under General
Orozco shall not enter the city. Or
ozcos force extends north along the
railroad 80 miles, with headquarters
at Sauz.
The insurrectos make. no effort to
conceal their anger They say while
reports come to them of banquets be-
ing served in Mexico City, they, in
spite of peace, are being kept in the
field on short war rations.
An incident of the strained rela-
tions between the two armies oc-
cured today when a federal lieuten-
ant who shouted Viva Reyes" was
shot and killed by an insurrecto who
had smuggled himself into town.
While wonder is expressed that
Mexico City does not promptly
straighten out the tangle, Governor
Gonzales expects no serious conse-
quences.
However, General Orozco, Madero's
foremost military chief, when inter
viewed at Sauz, frankly expressed
at the authorities failure
to turn over the city to his forces.
1t was given out at his headquarters
that since the insUrrectos in North
ern Mexico practically had begun and
won, they should be the first to enjoy
the victory.
MANY of OroZco's followers have de
clared that if the federals do not
evacuate soon the insurrecto army
will enter in a body.

Washington-An attack upon the
protective tariff system by an Amer
ican manufacturer who, processes to
have studied labor and manufactur-
ing conditions in many countries held
the. attention of the house of repre-
sentatives for two hours today.
Representative w. c. Redfield, of
Brooklyn, the new Democratic mem
Der, manufacturer of machinery and
long connected with export trade, said
that American manufacturers are
abandoning the protective principle
as unnecessary as they develop more
scientific management of their own
plants.
'The protective tariff simply has
enabled the American manufacturers
to sell at such prices that they have
not studied their own conditions close
ly," said Mr.. Redfield. They have
relied on government support rather
than upon business management. It's
effect has been to stimulate the de-
velopment of plants until they are
now so large that the products must
be sold abroad In this condition the
LO lOuSCi W AIT W pay
the high prices necessary for ma
terial under a protective tariff"
Mr.. Redfield declared that instead
of foreign labor being cheaper, Amer
lean labor is really the cheapest in
the world that no labor produces
as much output, in proportion to the
wages it receives, as American.
Mr. Redfield attacked the Republi- |
can principles of a tariff equal to
the differences in cost at home and |
abroad" saying it was impossible to |
determine the difference. He said |
the American tariff abroad is worth
less unless empowered to call for
the cost sheets of the factories en-
gagged in the line of manufacture it
IS studying" adding that often the
American cost of production is lower
han that abroad
