STEAMER STAYS
FAST ON A REEF
Captain and Crew of the Uranium Are
Aboard, But All Passengers are Safe
Iy Ashore.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.


Halifax, N. S., Jan. 13.-The steam
ship Uranium, which terminated her
voyage from Rotterdam by piling upon
a rocky reef ten miles below Halifax
in a fog yesterday, remained fast early
today with Captain Eustace and crew
aboard, but with all the $50 passengers
safely ashore here. Whether the ves-
sci could be saved was problematical.
Wrecking steamers planned to pull on
her at the noon tide. The steamer is
stuck bow on with seventeen fathoms
of water on her stern. The bow plates
are ripped open and No. hold is wa
er-filled.
The rescue of the Uranium's pas
sengers was accomplished by life boats
from Chebucto Head and by transfer
tc the government steamer Lady Lau-
rier. There was no panic, notwith-
standing that most of the passengers
were foreigners and among the number
We're many women and children. There
were many thrills but no serious acci-
dents and all of the passengers were
landed here during the night.
The Uranium is a 22-year- old boat
which has sailed about all of the seven
seas under four different owners and
under as many different names.

Charge of Shot Entered His
Left Side and He is in a
Critical Condition.
Jumped Into a Laundry
Wagon While it Was
Crossing Bayou Texar
Bridge, When Gun Slipped
From His Hand-Ham-
mers Were Cooked and
One Charge Was Fired.

Harry Wilcox, a young white man,
son of Conductor Wilcox of the Louis

shot late yesterday afternoon on Bayou
TeNar bridge, when the gun with
which he had been hunting was dis
charged, the entire charge of shot en-
tering the left side of the young man.
He is at the Pensacola Sanitarium in a
critical condition.
Justice of the Peace Johnson went to
the sanitarium Immediately after the
young man arrived there and took his
statement. To the judge, Wilcox said
he had been hunting in the afternoon
and was returning to his home at the
corner of Alcaniz and Cereantes streets,
when he saw a laundry wagon coming
from East Pensacola Heights TO the
city. He decided that he would take a
ride instead of walking and the driver
stopped while he, Wilcox, jumped into
the rear of the wagon. The gun was
cooked and loaded and as the horse
started Wilcox said he lost his balance

HAD BEEN TESTED
VERY RECENTLY
Accident Occurred About
Ten Minutes Before the
Plant Was to Close For
the Day, and When Fire
man Was Engaged in
Turning Valve to Send
Steam Into the Dry Kiln.

Edward Eddins, a white man, was
killed and three negroes were injured
late yesterday afternoon when a bat
terry of boilers connected with the
planning mill of the Mcmillan Mill Co.,
of Pine Barren, exploded. The boilers
were about 100 yards distant from the
planning mill and consequently the lat
ter was not damaged. The cause OF
tn eexplosion is a mystery for it was
less than two months since the boilers
were given a thorough inspection,
found in f1rst-class order and a certifl-
cate to this effect issued.
The accident occurred about ten
minutes before the hour to close down
the mills. Eddins. who was the fire.
man, was just preparing to turn q
valve, sending steam into the dry kiln.
when, without warning, the two boilers
composing the battery burst with a
tremendous roar. Pieces of the flying
metal struck the fireman on the head
and jaw, and he was so badly injured
that he died within two hours. The
negro helper at the boiler room was
clifton. The two Others in n5ured were
not employed in the mill, but were
near the boiler room when the explo-
sion occurred and were badly, though
not seriously injured.
Fragments of the boilers were sent
for several hundred yards, one piece
striking and killing a COW, while sew
cral had narrow escapes from injury.
The fact that the boiler room is some
distance from the planning mill ac-
counts for others not being injured.
The explosion caused much excite
ment at Pine Barren, and rumors Of
the accident soon reached Pensacola.
President Finlay, when called over the
phone by The Journal, stated that only
the battery of boilers of the planning
mill had exploded, and that no damage
had been done to the plant excepting
the loss of the two boilers.

SUPREME COURT
HEARS ARGUMENT
VIII Decide Who is Entitled to VaIu-
able Tracts of Land, Said to be
Gushing Oil in California.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Jan. 13.-Argument was
begun today before the United States
supreme court OF what reply 1t should
make to a request for instruction from
the United States circuit court of ap-
peals for the Ninth circuit, which was
unable to decide whether the South
ern Pacific Railroad Company or Ed
mund Burke and other separate entry
of land now said to be gushing forth
oil in California.
The railroad comp~ny has received
patents to the land. The government
recently brought proceedings to have
the patents cancelled but that ques-
ton is not before the court. The pat
ents contained a provision excepting
all mineral lands from the grant It is
this provision which now furnishes the
principal contention.
Burke and those in a similar posi-
tion claim that the exception prevented
the land passing to the railroad and
that they are entitled to the land un-
der proper entry. The railroad con-
tends that the exception is void, and
anyway, that evidence cannot now be
produced to show the lands are min
erap' or oil lands, the government
having issued patent for them and no
fraud having been practiced upon it.
Primarily the Southern Pacific rail-
road alone is concerned in the present
controversy but the same exceptions
are contained in patents to practically
every land grant railroad traversing
the west and so an will be affected by
the decision.

Gov. suIzer (at the top) and Charles
Murphy.

Albany, n. Y, Jan. 13.-When VIM.
Sulzer was inaugurated governor of
New York the other day he made a
remarkable statement. THE people
have elected me governor he said, in
effect, 'and I'm going to be governor.
shall not surrender the reins Of my
office to any political boss
The statement was remarkable chief
ly because it was made IN New York.
Had the chief executive of almost any
other state made it, it hardly would
have been regarded as unusual. But in
New York 1t is different
A good majority of the delegates to
the convention which nominated Sulzer
where hand-picl5ed by one Mr.. Charles
Murphy, boss of Tammany Hall. They
were Murphy's tools. ready to dance At
his bidding. AS it happened Murphy
did not think it wise to make them
dance at all, but let them take the
course they thought best. They NOM
mated Mr.. Sulzer, New York's pres
ent governor, therefore, does not owe
his nomination directly to Mr.. Muir
ply, but the latter thinks that Mr.
Sulzer should feel indebted to him for
permitting Suffers nomination.
Mr.. Murphy was a great power in
the state house during the Dix ad-
ministration just closed. Many believe
that Murphy came nearer answering
the description of governor during
those two years than did Mr.. Dix him
self. This arrangement proved very
satisfactory to the Tammany chief, as
there were many jobs to hand out and
some fat contracts.
Mr.. Sulzer, apparently, is Of diff
ferent sort. He is able, honest, demo-
cratic, and has made a good reputa-
ton in congress. He does not feel
like jeopardizing his reputation by sur
rendering any of the powers of his
office to the notorious Tammany ring
or to it's chief. The whole country
will be interested to see how he keeps
his New Years resolution.
