 Col. Stese's telegram merely said that the hearings were very satis- factory This, it is believed, indi- cates that the Committee approved the Commissions items as submit ted by the Secretary of War.
 After some 60 days spent abroad, mostly in Algiers, Cal. Steese re- turned to the United States about ten days ago. He landed in New York and proceeded directly to Washington. It is expected he will remain there for sometime, probably until after the Senate completes it's work on the War Department meas ure.

Photographs of Iced
 Down Starr Exhibited

A group of the finest photographs of an iced-down steamer viewed To- cally, for a considerable period are being displayed by J. c. Bender, popular purser on the steamer Starr, who obtained the pictures on the voyage last month.
 It will be recalled that the news item published at that time stated all hands on the vessel were engag- ed in cutting away the ice which completely covered the sturdy little vessel from fore to aft, and from the tip of the masts to the water line. The photographs will astound one. As an example one picture re- veals the rigging around which ice had formed to thickness of at least ten inches. Another shows the wheel house absolutely encased in sheath of ice.
