SENATE RECONSIDERS
S0TTlLE BRIDGE BILL
Tillman Has Measure Replaced on
the CaIender.-OppOnents or
Scheme Satisfied.

Washington, Jan. 20-Mayor Grace,
Council Williams. Collector Durant
and Mr.. Sottile arrived here today
from Charleston to look into the Coo
per River bridge matter The first
three came in order to interpose OBJ
jections to the progress of the bridge
bill. Mr.. Sottile, of course bad the
opposite object.
Soon after the opening of the Sc
nate session this morning Senator Till
man had the bridge bill reconsidered
and replaced on the calendar here
it was Saturday before its passage.
The senator says that the measure
will not be taken up again until he is
ready and that he will not call it up
unless the navy department and the
Charleston community are satisfied
with it.
Mayor Grace said this evening just
that he was satisfied that Senator Till
before taking the train for Charleston
man is thoroughly capable of pro-
tecting the city's interest with regard
to the bill, and that its passage Satur-
dav was not due to aay lack of alert
ness on the senator's part. The mayor
took occasion to say that he was much
gratifed to note the decided improve
ment in Senator Tiilman's health.
During the day the mayor also saw
Congressman Adamson, of Georgia,
chairman of the house committee on
Interstate and foreign commerce, and
Judge Adamson promised him that the
bridge bill would not be reported by
the committee without giving Charles
ton an opportunity to be heard.
Mr.. Sottile called at the office of Sen
ator Tillman and Representative Eller-
be. He said in the senator's Office that
he intended to flight to the last ditch"
to get his bill through congress. The
senator told him that nothing could
be done to advance the measure On the
senate side without getting the pres
emit opposition removed.

iowa Farmers Have Special Exhibit.

Columbia, S. C. Jan. 21-A complete
presentation of the farmers coopera-
tive societies of the western States will
be an interesting educational feature
of the Iowa State exhibit at the Fifth
National Corn Exposition, which opens
here the 9th of this month. The ex-
hibit will show the methods by which

and especial emphasis will be laid on
the cooperative grain elevator orga-
nization, the working of which
will be demonstrated in actual opera
ton, and the exhibit will be supple
mented by a series of lectures giving
full knowledge of the various phases
cooperative societies.
The development of these farmers
cooperative societies in Iowa has pro-
eeeded to a greater extent probably,
than in any other State of the Union,
and it is especially fitting that such
an exhibit should come from this
State. The exhibit has been prepared
under the direction of the agricultural
extension department Of the Iowa State
College, at Ames. 1t will be demon
strated by Messrs. C. G. Messerole and
H. F. Atwood, both of whom are thor
oughly familiar with the operation of
these elevators and the conduct Of the
cooperative societies.
This Iowa exhibit is an Illustration
of one of the fundamental purposes
of the National Corn Exposition-to
emphasize and explain the valuable
results which have been achieved by
individual farmers and farmers Or
CARNATIONS in various sections, in
their efforts to facilitate the handling
and systematic the distribution and
marketing of the products of the farm,
making this process more satisfactory
and less expensive to the producer.

the ceremonies incident to the inaug-
uration, of president of the United
States, will not be given this year,
according to Wilson's wishes, the in
augural committee, at a special meet
ing today, unimously decided to elimi-
nate it.
The committee also denied public
reception at the capitol elsewhere
suggested by Governor Wilson as q
substitute for the ball has not with
in it's jurisdiction and if one is held
congress must appropriate and make
the necessary arrangements for it.
The committee took the position that
the proposed reception would be pure
ly a governmental function, under the
control of the joint congressional in
augural committee. In a resolution
adopted, however, the committee an
nounced that it would cooperate in
every way possible with all arrange
ments for the successful Inauguration
of the president-elect.

gressionaI committee on the inaugu-
ration are Senators Crane, of Massa-
chusetts; Bacon, Of Georgia, and OV-
erman, of North Carolina; and Repre-
sentatives Mckinley, of Illinois; Ruck-
er, of Missouri, and Garrett, of Ten
nessee. Senator Crane declined today
to express an opinion regarding the
proposed resolution, stating that the
matter had not been officially placed
before the committee. The suggested
reception met with hearty approval
Of Representative Mckinley.
Governor Wilson's wish, in the event
of there being a public reception on
March 4, is that Mrs. Wilson and the
Misses Wilson should not be expected
to attend. This information was con-
veyed to the inaugural committee haV-
ing in charge the inaugural ceremo-

STEAMER LOST WITH ALL HANDS.
The Phecda, in From Hamburg, Saw
Marine Disaster.
News and Courier.

News and Courier.
The sinking Of large Danish steam
shin. with all hands on board, off the
southwest coast of England during a
terrific hurricane on the 26th OF De-
cember, was the scene witnessed by
Capt. K. Rec. master of the Dutch
steamship Phecda which arrived III
mort Saturday night from Hamburg
with a cargo of fertilizer material. The
name of the lost vessel is not known,
hut it is believed by some of Capt
Ree's officers that she was large Da-
nish merchantmen, probably the 1var
of Copenhagen. The vessel went down
about fifty miles southwest OF Ply
mouth, 49 degrees and 25 minutes
north latitude and degrees west long
itude.
Sank Head.frst.
Capt. Rec says that on the 25th and
26th of December the Phecda passed
through a hurricane. On the afternoon
of the 26th, about o'clock, the officers
of the Phecda sighted a hie T'nrc"
tramp, which seemed to nave r,e<,
badly damaged by the storm, but was
fighting her way slowly through high
seas. Capt. Rec signaled to know if
the steamer was in distress and need
ed assistance. The unknown vessel
did not request aid. She carried her
flag at half-mast. AS the Phecda drew
nearer the Dane appeared to be trying
to make a turn and come to the lee
side. The high seas washed her decks
and scattered her boats. At about 4:15
o'clock mountain-like sea swept over
her, and when it passed the vessel
plunged downward head first.
No Bodies Found.
Capt. Rec thinks that one last high
sea that broke over the Inflated Dane
swept the men from her decks. The
Phecda came up to the spot where the
unknown vessel was seen to go down
and stood by until nearly midnight.
The officers of the Phecda kept a
sharp lookout to see if any of the bo-
dies of the drowned men could be
found, but nothing foated afterWard
by which the lost ship could be ident-
ifed. The weather was clear after
the storm and the moon shone bright
ly.
Capt. Rec reported the sinking of the
unknown vessel to the British steam
ship Corendon, en- route to Gibraltar,
which he spoke shortly after witness
ing the tragic end of the vessel.
The vessel which sank appeared to
be a steamer of about 5000 tons, with
black hull and smokestack. The
snokestack had the sign of the per-
pendicular cross. 1t is believed that
she was Danish merchantmen owned
in Copenhagen, probably the Ivar.
The Phecda experienced an exceed
ingly rough passage, but being a very
fine ship and in the hands of able Of
ficers and seamen she weathered the
gale and is entirely seaworthy and
ready for the sea again at a moments
