First Hopes are Gone

AS the public learned today from
the Newfoundland's survivors who
were landed yesterday, the details of
the two-days blizzard and the condi-
ton in which it caught the Southern
Cross, the first hopes, based on the
stoutness OF the ship, faded. Capt.
Daniel Martin of the sealer Erik, and
Capt VIM. Bartlett of the Terra No
va, which arrived with full catches,
were dubious regarding the safety of
the missing ship. Neither had seen
her within a week.
Last Seen of Steamer
Capt Martin said he parted COM
pany with her a week ago Thursday
when the Southern Cross turned home
ward with 1900 seals. She was so
deeply laden that all her provisions
and part of her bunker coal were
stored on deck so that every available
space below could be filled with her
catch.
Capt Bartlett of the Terra Nova
said the last he saw of the Southern
Cross was a week ago Friday when
she was wallowing slowly down the
coast Other ships of the fleet sighted
last Tuesday morning. She had not
been reported since and the shippers
of the fleet who came through that
gale and the storm of equal severity
later in the week say every chance
was against a vessel so deep in the
water as the Southern Cross.

Identify Newfoundland Dead
BY noon today all but five of the 50
bodies of the Newfoundlands hunt
ers, brought in yesterday by the Bella
venture. had been identified. These
were shipped on a special train to-
night for Bonavista, where most of
the victims lived.
Attendants at the Grenfell Institute
which was turned into a morgue, said
that the scenes accompanying the
Identification of the bodies were al
most beyond endurance.
Tragedies of Ceremony
One woman found two bodies clasp
ed so tightly in death that they could
not be separated. They We're father
and son. The lad was wrapped in his
fathers arms as if the man had been
trying to shield him from the pitiless
cold.
The hand of another dead man was
missing One of the crippled survi-
vors who had lain helpless near the
body for nearly As hours. said that his
comrades, unable to stand the agony
of frost bite, had sliced off the hand
with his seaman's knife.
A gray-haired mother. supported by
her two daughters. passed down the
long rows looking for her sons. The
attention of the attendants was sud
denly drawn to them when the woman
fell to the floor in faint. They had
found not only the four sons and
brothers, but two cousins among the
dead.

A BLOW TO CIVIL SERVICE.

Democrats OF the house nave re-
sorted to the same old expedient,
which the president has condemned,
of attaching rider to AZ aEpropria-
tion bill in orde' to secur., certain
legislation which could nor stand up
as separate measure. A bill to give
$25,000,0OO for good roads through
out the country was tackled onto a
postoffice bill, and the committee on
rules was asked to report a special
rule to make both propositions in Or
der. The scheme was to pass the
postoffice bill mentioned, which pro-
posed to remove 2,40O assistant post
masters from The civil service of the
country, and Ill: the positions with
new Office seekers, clamoring for rec
ognition; and if the house would
agree to that proposition the men,
bers might cut up $25,OOO,OOO
lemon for good roads appropriation.
It is not known whether such dope
will get through the legislative mill
or not, but If it does it will be
knockout blow to the principles of
civil service, that the country at large
seems to generally approve.

whistling for crossing he opened

molished, and he was seriously in

base of the skull.

PRE-CANCELLED STAMPS.

The use Of pre-cancelled stamps
is being found in a number of cities
of the state. A special arrangement
is made with certain firms by the
government, in the towns where this
pronunciation is found to be con-
venience. The government issues
plates for the cancellation of stamps
which are turned over to some print
ing contractor. A capable clerk can
hand cancel only about 500 pieces of
mail matter an hour, it is said, and
on rush mail days the cancellation of
the stamps takes up much valuable
time.

new R. R. CLEARANCE LAW.
Law Requires all buildings to be 8
Feet From Center Of Track.

Bismarck, Jan. 31.-Tuesday, Feb.
10, a conference of railroad officials
and railroad employees will be held
in this city to discuss the nose effec-
tive way sQfs putting into effect the
new railroad clearance law, this con-
ference having been called by the
railroad commission. The new clear
ance law requires that all buildings,
standpipes, coal sheds, and other
structures must be eight feet from
1.-THE center of the track and have a
clearance of % feet above it, and it
is up to the railroad commission to
decide upon the necessity of remov-
ing all structures back from the track
to conform to the law.
On the first of the year the rail-
roads reported to the commission the
number of structures of all kinds on
their systems within the state not
conforming to the law, and it will be
necessary in the near future for the
commission to 60 over every mile of
railroad track in the state and Judge
the necessity of requiring the nom
conforming property, whether owned
by the railroads or individuals, to
be removed back to the required dis
tance. This will be an immense
proposition, and will require great
deal of time and earnest considera-
ton on the part of the state officials,
and altogether will not prove a very
pleasant job. ....

COMMITTEE NOMINATIONS
NOW PREVAIL.

The old state convention where
delegates were elected from counties
to nominate candidates for state and
county Offices, has disappeared in
name but the reasons that led to the
Adjustment of the convention sys-
tenn do not appear to have disappear
ed. The old objection to slate tick
cts, to candidates selected by few
men, and foisted upon the people to
accept whether they WISHED or not,
was supposed to have been removed
when the primary nominating system
was substituted in it's place. Instead
however, a self constituted commit
tee acting mysteriously and secretly
is seen now to take the place of the
old deliberative convention. A slate
has already been put out containing
the names Of nearly all the candidates
for one of the factions in state poll
tics. Men who do not exactly suit
this committee are tossed to one side
and others picked to take their plac-
es. It remains for the voters of the
primary to say whether they like that
procedure or not.

preparation. Fearing that we did not
make it clear, we invited a personal
inspection by the committee into the
condition of the United States treas
ury, and so far as congressional in
vestigation is concerned we invite it.
We did not put this new system in;
it is a condition under which We
have labored since the beginning of
the administration; it is a system
which we believe facilitates public
business. If it is to be retained, we
want sufficient number of employees
to keep the work current. The en-
ployes have, during the summer
months, worked overtime and after
hours, and some of them have been
denied the vacation to which they
were entitled. If the system meets
with the approval of congress, con-
gress will, of course, supply what

END OF MEXICAN WAR IN SIGHT

END OF MEXICAN WAR IN SIGHT.
President Wilson is reported as
convinced that the quickest way to
end the war in Mexico is to lift the
embargo on the sale of arms and am
munition, which has been in force in
this country. The embargo does not
seem to have prevented the factions
in Mexico from securing arms else
where, particularly the faction which
Huerta represents, and in refusing to
allow the rebels to secure arms the
object Of the embargo, which was
strict neutrality, has not been secur-
ed. With plenty of rifles and ammu-
milton in the hands of. the Mexicans,
the end of the war is believed to be
in sight. This plan has been urged
upon the administration by practical,
we'll posted business men, for several
months, and the common sense fea-
lures involved in the proposition
seem to have at last been recognized.
