LONDON. April 2l.--A notable feat
was accomplished by the divers at
work on the liner Oceana, which
sank on Eastbourne after a colii-
sion.
There was specie amounting to
$3.7so,oo0 in the strong room. and
naturally the chisf aim Of tho divers
was to secure this at the earliest pos
sible moment.
Two divers went down and remain
ed below tho surface for about an
hour. They found that the steamer
which carried away two OF the masts
last woek also caused considerable
damage aft to the tunnels and other
parts Of the liner.
An enormous quantity Of wreck
age from the masts, dayits and deck
house had crashed down on the deck.
Nevertheless one Of the divers at
work In the fore part of the vessel
managed to reach the captains cabin.
There he recovered the keys OF the
bullion room. opened all the matches,
and succeeded In opening the door OF
the after specie room ready for work
ing.

prospects of salving the three-quar-
tiers of a million Of treasures are

The divers have already recovered
one case Of specie from the forward
end Of the vessel, and two bars Of
silver from the after end Of the wreck
ed liner.

expected by the more conservative
operators in wheat that price set

are some who figure that this grain
will sell at higher prices this year
than In a decade. II II estimated
by some that the losses already
amount to l0o,0o0.0O0 bushels ard
that an additional 100000 bushels
will be tackled to this before the
wheat Is harvested.
1t was believed a week ago that
the crop losses from winter killing
would be confined to that section OF
the country east OF the Mississippi
river. but the deterioration during
the last few days has spread over
nearly all the States OF the West, all
though In Kansas, Nebraska and Mis-
souri the losses are in sections only.

veloped into goodly proportions and

The guide was particularly fond OF
grouse, which are moderately plentiful
In some parts of Alaska. Pinchot and
Poindexter would eat grouse apiece,
but the guide would consume four or
five, with apparent relish Senator
Poindexter felt that the thing to do
was to shoot more grouse and give
the guide his I'LL. They didn't get
shot at any grouse right away, but
Poindexter kept in practice by bring

Then he gave a sort of cali, which
