cHAReE INSTRUMENTATION.

Washington, Jan. Charges of a
war against United States commerce
in South America, combinations OF
European ports and Of the operation
Of the alleged shipping trust to
drive out independent steamship lines,
were laid before the house merchant
marine committee Investigating the So
called shipping combine today, by Sid
ney Storey, of New Orleans, one Of
the organizers Of the Pan-American
mail line.
Mr.. Storey testified that when Euro
pean lines plying to South America
heard of large orders for cement go
ing to the United States they cut the
rate to divert the business to Europe;
that they paid rebates to shippers
who used their ships exclusively and
the ships Of the Pan-American mail
were a failure because they were
forced to sail back to New Orleanf
from South America without cargoes.

Boise, Idas Jan. Governor John
M. Haines. in his first message to the
legislature today, asked that body to
give the approval to the amendment
to the federal constitution providing
for the direct election of United
States senators.
He also urged the legislature to en-
act laws requiring physical examina-
ton before the issuance of marriage
certificates, and the sterilization Of
degenerates. Declaring that hig taxa
ton was preventing capitalists from
investing in Idaho enterprises and dis
couraging settlers from coming to the
state, Governor Haines advocated re-
trenchment and economy in state ex-
penditures.

Of an afternoon paper prints an ex
tended interview with Frank Chance
In which Chance states positively that
he will not appear in baseball this
season, and that his purpose in com
ing to Chicago was to explain fully his
attitude to Frank Farrell, who wants
the former leader Of the Chicago Ma
tionals to manage the New York club
of the American league.
Frank Chance arrived here this af-
ternoon and confirmed the statement
that he viii not engage in baseball
next season. The killing frost on the
coast yesterday he said made it all
the more necessary for him to spend
a year on his fruit ranch at Glendora
Calf.

per men that ne was negotiating
with Chance and that he hoped with |
considerable assurance of success to

BEEN MIXED UP IN SEVERAL
BAD ACCIDENTS.

Astoria, Gre, Jan. 7.-LeaVing ma
rine records strewn with tales OF
death and disaster connected with her
career, the ill-starred oil tanker Rose
Grams, once a United States army
! transport, was lost on Peacock Spit
just beyond the bar, today in a fur
ious gale that drove her on the rocks.
Thirty-three men of her crew OF
SO perished when the ship went un-
der, it is believed. The other three
clung hopelessly to a topmast and
their death seemed certain. The rag
ing tumult of water about them defied
rescuers. Huge seas battered at them
relentlessly; the gale, bitterly cold,
stiffened their clinging fingers until
they slipped moment by moment clos
er to the end in the harried water
beneath. Two tug boats and life
saving crew stood by, hoping against
hope, but there was no chance to aid.
The Rosecrans cleared from South
ern California points with crude
oil cargo for Portland, ore. she en-
countered q 60-mile gale today as She
stood in toward the bar at the mouth
OF the Columbia river. 1t is thought
her officers lost neir bearings in the
fury Of the blow and the unmanage-
able tanker was hurled on the rocks
of Peacock Spit to pound herself to
pieces.
An hour after she struck only her
topmast with its human freight and
the edge of her funnel stood above
the leaping seas.
Wireless calls for assistance were
picked up by the local station today
and the tugs Oneonta and Tatoosh
went out. Shortly afterward efforts
to eommunite with the Rosecrans by
wireless failed.
Life saving crews from Fort Candy
and Point Adams put out for the
scene against a 6O-mile gale sweeping
up from the south. Big waves broke
over the crews as the lifeboats strug-
gled through the waters.
When they reached the vicinity OF
the Rosecrans it was found impossible
to reach the vessel and the two boats,
with the tugs, cruised about, search
ing the waters for possible survivors.
So far as known none of the crew
was picked up.
Shortly before II o'clock the tank
er's hull had sunk from sight Three
men of her crew OF Sc clung to a
topmast, which projected above the
waves. All others. it was believed,
had perished. It seemed impossible
that the three survivors could De

THE DATE or THE NATIVITY
CELEBRATION LATE.
TURKS ASK FOR INSTRUCTIONS
THEY WISH TO BE PREPARED TO
MAKE CONCESSIONS AT THE
NEXT MEETING.

London, Jan. There is practical
ly no disposition in London to doubt
that as soon as the delegates Of Bul-
garia, Greece, Montenegro and Servia
have celebrated the orthodox Christ
mas holiday the peace conference viii
be resumed. There is a deep-seated
reluctance among all parties agairst
the Ie-opening Of nostlities, although
threats of such an eventuality are
still uttered.
At the same time the powers are oc-
cupied IN offering friendly advice %
the antagonists, and in case this
should prove insufficient the ambassa-
dors are seeking for the best method
Of Intervention.
Speculations concerning the method
of providing an issue from the pres
ent deadlock are rife. It is asserted
that Rechad Pasha, the principal
Turkish delegate, has telegraphed to
Constantinople asking to reconyoke
the conference and may make some
explanations which he was prevented
from giving yesterday owing to the
brusques suspension Of the session. At
the next meeting it is his turn to
preside.
Much Is hoped for from the action
of the European powers, especially
from Russia. It is believed that the
greatest effort of the power will be
exercised at ConstantinopIe. II weeks
elapse. however, without the yielding
of Adrianople. the Bulgarian delegates
declare 1T viii be General savoeff
and Cannon who will speak."
There we're many exchanges OF
Christmas greetings this morning
among the allied delegates, all of
whom attended church services ex
cept Count voynovisch, the Montene-
grin, who is the Catholic. The Greek
delegates went to the Greek church,
while the Bulgarians. serpians ana
went to the Russian
church, explaining that this was done
simply because they do not under
stand Greek.
No surrender Of Adrianople," re-
mains the watchword Of Rechad Pas.
ia and his colleagues OF the Turkish
peace delegation.
If Adrianople should fan, said
Rechad Pasha, st would be owing to
anime and only owing to famine The
would not therefore be
able to attribute It to feat Of arms
As to the further sittings Of the con-
.erence, / can only say The allies
suspended it."
Rechad Pasha went on to say tho
question OF further negotiations was
low IN the hands Of the Turkish goy-
srnment.
