Steamship Passes Through Sandstone
In the Suez Canal. @

New York. May 2S-The British
steamship Jeseric, Differed by Eng
lishmen and with a Chinese crew, ar.
rived here, Sester11ssss, from the ORR
cnt, having passed through an unusual
experience in the Suezs canal. She just
had entered the canal from the Red
Sea when a sandstone travelling at
great speed out of the Arabian desert
enveloped the ship in darkness and
forced the officer on the bridge to drop
anchor Immediately. lest the vessel be
driven ashore. Several cables connect
ing Europe With the Orient cross the
canal at the point where the anchor
was let go. The result was when the
anchor was hoisted five of the cables
were torn from their shore moorings
and We're dragged by the Jeseric for
miles into the Bitter lakes. Captain
Robert White, skipper of the Jeseric,
dropped anchor again, and the task Of
clearing the broken cables took the
rest of the day.
Bertram Hancock, third officer. was
on the bridge when the sandstorm be-
gan. Instantly daylight became night
again. The men on the bridge could
see nothing, for the sand swept across
the vessel by a 50-mile wind blinded
them. 1t stung their faces. and when
Hancock tried to shout to the boat
swain to stand by to let go the anchor
he got mouthfuls of the sand.
The Chinese crew showedalarmand
with difficulty were driven to the fore
castle head to prepare TO anchor. Quick
work closing the skylights prevented
the ruin of the vessels machinery.
The storm lasted half-hour. When
ii had subsidized the sand was two
inches thick on deck. Because of the
intense heat in the Red Sea all doors
of the officers quarters, the galley and
the pantry We're open. The sand was
blown into every crevice and those
asleep awoke to find themselves in
layers of 1t.

of men are struggling with the prop

Perhaps, some of the Republican
senators will stand aside and fall TO
vote on those tariff bills when they
are brought to vote, Rather
strange proceeding that would be.
Yes, but it is being seriously eonsid-
efAd because II is argued the re-

President If there should be long
weeks of wrangling and arguing in
the Senate over these bills and long
sessions of the conference commit

President would not sign. Why not

Thereby it is claimed much waste

- Arid such considerations weigh ire
fhendously this year of great political
i uncertainties. Congress is unsettled.
THE Democratic House seems to be
able to get ahead with its plans and
programs, such as those may be, but.
il is recognized that the tariff legisla-
ton framed over there is more or less
Z crude aud Undetermined and that the

Much has been done in the way of
tariff bills but Representative Under

possibly before Congress adjourns.
One of them is another Cotton revi-
sion bill and second is free mar
ket basket bill. Neither is likely To
get through the Senate. as the >lool<
OF things is now, but the Democrats
are still playing politics. That has
been their long suit this year and
they have need of II in their business,
which, of course, is to persuade the
people 10 admit them to the White

branches of Congress. 1t is really a
big stake to play for.

were arrested for importinglarge guam

seven travellers uncoupled from the

He had been warned by telegraph
from Zurich that seven smugglers of
Geneva were in the train with a large
quantity of saccharin. After an ex-

find any contraband and were about
to apologize to the seven travellers for
their detention when one customs in.
