The evidence came out t when Frank F. Bunker, who had been recalled, testified to ques- tions asked him by United States Dis- trict Attorney Frye regarding anything out of th inary he had notice while watching the men take soundings on the tragedy. Bunker testified that as he watched the men hauling in the lead line it be- came tangled with the log line and that several minutes elapsed before the log ling could be heaved overboard. He said that in his opinion thé ship Was then running at full speed. He also stated that the Ship’s progress | was then kept by one of the officers, who stood by with a watch in his hand. When the log had finally been cast over the side Bunker says the officer called out ‘to the quartermaster, or whoever it was standing near, to “mark down two miles.” This is the distance supposed to have been trs versed while the men were untangl the lines of the log and lead | Bunker also testified that when the |log line was thrown over it was still snarled and tangled. He said he did not know whether this affected the registering of the vessel’s progress or | not, but that the circumstance struck as peculiar. He sa he also saw one n the log, take a something off it, pour oil into a part of the trolley and then heave it overboard, forgetting to re- place the cap. Bunker added that the | satlor, who had apparently forgotten to replace the cap, again hauled in the log and placed it in proper shape. i Sats i | DEFEND THEIR COURSE, VICTORIA, Feb.

MAY K THE FOSTER CHINESE BIL Congressman Hayes, Backed ¢ by California Delegation in House, Plans to Pigeon- Hole Exclusion Measure PEKING BELIEVES THIS NATION IS “BLUFFING” Sigshee’s Entire Squadron May Be Sent to the Orient to Bring the Celestial Government to Reason Smflu——!;a-.—‘—— WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—Represent- atlve Hayes, backed by the California delegation in the House, will to-mor- Tow tuke a step which, If successtul, will practically fnsure the failure of enactment at this session of the Foster Chinese exclusion bill, which, if It should become luw, probubly would re sult fn an inflnx of coolie lubor. Hayes will move thut this bill be taken from the Commnittee on Foreign Aftalrs and sent to the Committee on Immigration. Hayes in on the Lummigration Commit- tee, all the members of which are sald to be Gpposed to the Foster bill. Hayes will argue that in sending the bill to the Forelgn Affairs Committee a mis take was made, and that this commit- tee has no jurisdiction over such meas- ures. All the administration's activity to cope with a possible outbreak in China is regarded as a “bluff” by the Peking Government. The Chinese legation here has heard nothing from Peking In re- gard to the sending of four American regiments to the Philippines to be close at hand should there be trouble in the Celestial kingdom. Several months ago Sir Chentung Liang Cheng, the Chinese Minister, sent a long note to Secretary Root, in which no attempt was made to deny that there was unrest in China, but which did assert in positive terms that China was able to cope unaided with any emergency which might arise. WILL NOT ASK JAPAN TO AID. Intimations that the Chinese Govern- ment is not doing its utmost to stamp out the anti-American feeling fostered by the boycott are continually published here. All are evidently inspired. Probably the strongest reason why the Government is getting enough troops to the Philippines to be able safely to spare a regiment or two for duty in China, should the occa- sion arise, is iis desire not to be caught in any predicament which would make it necessary to call upon Japan temporarily to guard American interests. Such a re- quest would be a recognition of Japan's political and military predominance in ASla such as the United States & not willing to give. It is pointed out here that the Chinese Government, with its army of 100,000 well drilled and well arméd troops, will seek to handle any rising itself and might easily resent any foreign invasion. The conquest of the Chinese army of to-day, it is admitted, would be a very different task from the disposal of the fanatic, un- organized “Boxer” hordes. Should the present acute conditions in China develop into jeopardy for American residents in that country, the Navy De- partment is prepared to send not merely the Chattanooa, the Galveston, but Rear Admiral 8igsbee’s entire fleet through the Suez canal to the scene of trouble. | ARTILLERY MAY BE SENT. NEWPORT, R. L, Feb. 13.—Three com- panies of coast artillery stationed at Fort Adams have received orders to pre- pare to move at a moment's notice. No one at the post knows what it means, and, in view of the talk of trouble in China and a possible invasion of thht country by United States troops, there is much excitement among the men. It is believed by some that a change of post has been planned by the department, and that .1t has been determined that the change can be better made by a road march than by boats and trains, and that, moreover, the drill thus obtained would be valuable. The orders are to have every man equipped with a com- plete field outfit and a brown Khaki uni- form throughout. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 18.—An order for 4,000,000 ball cartridges has been re- cefved from the Ordnance Department at the Frankfort Arsenal here. They are to be of 30-callber and of the Krag-Jorgen- sen type. Although no information could be obtained at the arsenal as to the reason for the large additional order for cartridges, they are intended for the troops in the Philippines. These troops, it is understood, use the Krag-Jorgensen rifle exclusively, and it is intimated that the increased order for ammunition is in anticipation of trouble in China. The present daily output of cartridges at the arsenal is 170,000, and the new order will increase it 40,000 daily for the next four months. SHANGHAI, Feb. 13.—The Taotal of Shanghai has been ordered to proceed to Canton and endeavor to reconcile the Viceroy of that city with the people. ———— GETTING READY FOR WAR.

SHPPING BIL IP I SENKTE WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—Aside from the time required for the trdnsaction of | routine business the entire session of the Senate to-day was devoted to amendments to the shipping bill. The principal speakers were Spooner and Allison. who criticized various features of the measure, and Gallinger, who was constantly on guard in support of the bill. Allison offeged a number of amendments, which, with others, will be voted on to-morrow. Allison criticized many of the provi- slons of the bill. He made the point that the provision for subvention to cargo ships was not calculated to de= velop American trade. He said that vessels receiving subsidies under that provision could, if so desired, wander all over the world, only returning be- fore the end of a year. He also ad- vanced the idea that there wus no great necessity for subsidies to vesséls en- gaged in the Cuban, Canadian and Caribbean Sea trade. Bacon offerel an amendment striking out sections 1, 2. 3 and 4 of the bill, eliminating practically all the fcatures of the measure except the provisions for aid in expediting the mail service of the United States. Newlands opposed the subsidy feature of the bill and suggested that instea '. of granting subsidies the Governmen should itself construct a number of sea- going vessels and lease them to private parties. —_—————— BOSTON, Feb. 13.—The new armored crulsee Tennessee made an unofficial speed of 32.18 knots on her speed trial yesterday. according to the report of one of the trial board.
