City Attempting to Trade.

The city Of Hamilton is negotiating
a trade with different hose companies
in an endeavor to trade off large
hand pump now owned by the city,
for more fire hose. Since the installa-
ton of the water works, the engine Is
not needed, and realizing that it
might be turned into hose. of which
the city is very much in need, an eff
fort is being made to secure the need.
ed hose in that way
The engine that is being offered is a
splendid appliance for fighting fire
where no water system or better APP
pliance for fighting fire is at hand, and
some town that has need of such
equipment should secure it. The
citys trade may be consumated at
any time, after which the engine will
be put into prime condition and put
upon the market.

INQUIRY into DISASTER
ORDERED BY OFFICIALS
Sweeping Investisation Il Begun Al
Instance Of Department Of
Commerce.
THREE PHASES ARE TAKEN UP

The DEPARTMENT OF Commerce yester-
day heaan a sweeping investigation Into
/ the cause OF the collision between the
Nantucket and tho Monroe.
! There are three distinct angles TO the
Investigation;
Ftrst-whether the masters OF both
vessels used every possible precaution to
prevent the tragedy. including a low
speed headway and continual use OF fog
horns.
Second--whether the terrible death rate
among the passengers on board tbs Mon
roe was due In any way to lack OF dis
clpline amour the wrecked ships crew.
Third-wIfhe the two vessels were In
, their proper positions prior to the colii-
sion.
As soon as messages telling of the dis
aster reached Washington officials of the
steamboat inspection service got into
teiegraphic communication with Robert
Tapley. inspector of hulls, and Edward
Brey. inspector OF boilers. at Norfolk. At
{ o'clock the Department of Commerce
received word that the investigation had
begun.
According to all information now in the
possession of the government officials
here, the two ships were Of splendid con-
struction. They stated yesterday that
the impact OF the Nantucket when she
struck the Monroe must have been ter
rife to tear a cash that would sink the
ship in twenty minutes Despite the re-
ports (which have been received from
Norfolk describing the slow rate Of speed
at which the two ships were running.
the officials are inclined to believe the
Nantucket must have been exceeding the
limit of cautious headway.
The question Of a possible panic on the
part of her crew is one to which De-
partment OF Commerce officials are d.
recting their attention.
One official said: II don't like the looks
OF the death list. There are too many
passengers there. There are q number
Of women, too. OF course. It Is too early
to begin to comment yet. but II will be a
good thing IL we know the truth of this
tragedy"

MONROE UNSEAWORTHY,
charge AFTER TRAGEDY
Superintendent Of Old Dominion Line
Refutes Allegation and Accuses
Captain Of Negligence.
SHOULD HAVE STOOD CLOSE IN

New York, Jan. 3o.-Dispatches add
q further touch OF horror to the sea
tragedy on Chesapeake Bay In the re-
port at Norfolk that the Monroe was
top-heavy and in an unseaworthy con-
dition, whereby her rapid sinking after
the collision was accelerated. Ten
fminutes after she was struck the Mon
roe sunk beneath the waves.
Capt. James Leyland. superintendent
of the Old Dominion line. later charged
that the captain of the Nantucket was
guilty of gross negligence when he
drew his ship out of the gaping wound
he had made In the side OF the Mon
roe. thus permitting the sea to rush in
and engulf her.
Immediately following the crash" said
Capt. Leyiand. the Nantucket began to
back away from the Monroe, thus ex-
Good seamanship should have prompted
keep her close to the Monroe.
THE Monroe practically was standing
still when the collision occurred The
whistle of the Nantucket had been heard
and answered by one blast, which meant
that the Monroe would pass on the port
side. Then the crash came.
THE Monroe was not a top-heavy
vessel. Had she been. she would have
turned over when the Nantucket struck
her. Instead, she sank only when filled
with the rush OF water through her side.
] refute any insinuation that the Monroe
needed watching because Of being top
heavy. by this statement"

clared he had received the oath from

WHITMAN SUFFERS :
SETBACK IN PROBE
Contractor Fails to Identify Murphy S
Friend as Alleged Bribe Collector
in Canal Bid Cases.

New York. Jan. 3o.-James c. Stewart,
before the graft grand jury. today failed
to identify James +. Gaffney. Boss
Murphy's close friend. as the Mr.. Gafr-
ney' who tried to coax sl5e0Oo from him
on Stewards pending 100000 Of State
canal bids in December, 1872
In a merciless three-hour grilling by
District Attorney Whitman, the wealthy
contractor worn by the strain, burst into
hysterical tears. In half frenzy he pro-
tested to the grand jury that, while he
believed the Gaffney caller to be James
E. Gaffney, he was too much in doubt to
make an unequivocal avowal.
Prior to going before the grand jury,
Stewart, unexpectedly. was confronted by
Gaffney in Whitman's inner office in the
Criminal Courts building. Neither knew,
until called to the office, what was UP.
As the two men in Whitman's little
drama met face to face. they gave not a
sign OF former acquaintance.

and left Capt. johnson standing on the
deck of the ship. The boat went back and
he got in. The Monroe went down easily
and was below the water within twelve
minutes after the collision.
Women Went First.
There were not very many women on
the ship. but they were allowed to get
into the boats first with the children
There was no effort on the part of the
men TO crowd the women and children.
While We were in the lifeboat we picked
up man and a woman. He was holding
her by the hair in his teeth and was
almost exhausted when we pulled him in.
The woman was dead.

ness of the Virginia capes, taking with
her over two score human beings.
Awakened from their sleep to face the
call to their Maker, the passengers OF
the lost ship were in frenzy of terror
Clad only in their night clothes, with
perhaps some warm garment thrown
over their shoulders as a protection from
the wintry blasts that swept the decks
many, after a glance for the cause OF
the accident, plunged into the icy waters
of the Atlantic. Some of these were
saved by boats hurriedly launched from
the Nantucket. Others in time will be
washed up on the Virginia beaches and
some never again will be seen.
Those who are able to tell their story
unite in praise of the officers of both
ships. The men of the Nantucket who
took their own lives in their hands and
cruised about in the dense fog scouting
for survivors come in for their need of
praise. But let the survivors tell their
own stories:
Praises ships Officers.
A. p. Lyons, a newspaperman of Rich
mond. said there was no panic on board
the Monroe and Capt. Johnson and the
officers and crew of the liner acted the
parts of heroes. He said:
There was much confusion but moth
ing approaching a panic. The conduct
Of the officers and crew was admirable
1t was about 1:3O o'clock and very foggy
when the crash came. I had undressed,
but had not gone to bed. The fog horn
