rue dissimilarity between the two men

fact is that their natures are really

CASPIAN SEA SINKING.
kamships In Many Places Unable to
Reach Landing STAGES.

st. Petersburg.-The scientific world
in Russia has for some time been oc-
cupied with Il curious natural phenom-
enon. The surface of the Caspian has
since June, 1910, been continually sink
ing and is now beginning to be incon-
venient for navigation. as steamers in
many places cannot reach the landing
stages.
Professor Shoralski, commissioned by
the government to study the subject.
has ascertained that the amount of
water contributed by the rivers flowing
into the Caspian, especially by the
Volga, has considerably diminished. 1t
is therefore quite possible that the
river water flowing into the sea is not
sufficient to make good the loss caused
by evaporation.

DEBATE ON ALASKA
IN BOTH HOUSES
Congress Learns Much of Re-

Days Consideration.

Washington, January 14-Congress
learned much OF tho resources or

most OF their time to debate on bills
for government railroad from tho
coast to the interior of tho territory
with maps and pointer. Senator Walsh
Of Montana, held the floor In the Sem
ate supporting the Chamberlain bill
while Delegate WickcrSham, OF Alaska
championed In the House similar
measure introduced by himself. Sup
porters OF the project thought tonight.
the bills would pass both houses, prob
ably early next week. Some delay may
be caused. however, by an amendment
offered by senator Norris to provide
for government-owned steamship
line from Alaska To Pacific Coast ports
and to the Atlantic via the Panama
tCannl. This proposal was not touched
upon to-day.
Disposition or the conl lands with
drawn by executive order OF President
Roosevelt, entered into the Senate de-.
bate. Commenting upon pending bills
providing for the leasing of ut least
II portion OF these, Senator Walsh said:
The withdrawal order OF 1895 nicr-
its universal commentator, but to keen
these vast resources locked up now
approaches tho gravity of crime"
Estimating that the COVE, nnent
would need At least $4,000 tons of
purposes, Senator Walsh said the cost
or transporting this amount or coal
from Atlantic ports would amount to
more than Sl.50o,0O0, the greater part
OF that SUM going TO foreign ship
owners. With tne building OF only
twenty-five milea of railroad, this could
be saved, he said, ana the COS, OF con-
struction repaid in one years economy.
Senator Williams declared himself
against tho bill, because he said IL was
the beginning Of government owner
snip or railroads, and no man could
tell whcr3 il would stop.

Washington. January Ii.-For two
hours this afternoon, John shelton
Williams, nominated to be Comptroller
of the Currency and member OF tho
Federal Reserve Board, explained tho
actions of the Treasury Department IN
saving the depositora of the United
States Trust Company, Of this city,
from loss.
This appears to be the chief COM
plant against Williams and was nur-
tuTed at the time OF this financial In
cdent in Washington by the bankers
Iatl!ltnted With the National City Bank
OF New York The charge was made
that Williams In advancing 81, 900
TO save the situation, had acted with
out the law. and that this illustrated
Il trend Of mind that would be harm
full in the proper administration OF the
new currency system.
When the committee adjourned un-
til tomorrow morning, II was oppar-
ent that no serious opposition to Will
liams's confirmation was 10 be made.
favorable report may como from the
committee Tomorrow.
The saving OF the United States
Trust Company was the only feature
of the hearing.
Capital BADLY Impaired.
Mr.. Williams explained that in the
late spring tho examination Of tho
u uSL company showed that Its CAPITAL
was badly impaired. The concern was
given six months In which TO make
good the impairment. AT the expira-
ton Of that time conditions were
worse, the impairment amounting To
81, 600, 900.
The United States Trust Company
attempted to dispose OF It's business
TO tho National Bank OF Washington.
which decided IT did not want It, Then
the Continental Trust Company began
negotiations, but declined TO take it
over.
Mr.. Williams further explained that
the situation became 90 acute that re-
ports of tho weakened condition OF the
company began to reach tho public.

by the department In the office OF tho
lComptroiler, and hnanciers were urged

could not deal with It, but twelve ma
