As a nattT of fact there are other
Senators besides Heyburn who are op

the Senate and House of Bepresentatlves
amend tticlr rules to provide for piece

from states where wooljrowlna; Is a

with the tentative programme auegrsted
by the President, and some amons them
would Join with Senator Heyburn if oc
casion arose.
When the attempt la made to modify
the rukrs of the House ao sa to permit
the revision of the tariff In the maimer

be no Insurceut-Detmx-ratie combine,

BT LLOTD T. LOXERGAS.
NEW YORK. Dec 18. (Special.)
Governor-elect Dlx has gone back to
Albany after a week's visit to Man
hattan, and the politicians are mora
puzzled about him than ever. Mr. Dlx
wilt remain quietly In the capital at
one of Its best hotels until the time
comes for him to movo Into the Execu
tive Mansion.
Will Dlx be a tool of Murphy, or
will he be an independent ruler, look
ing; solely for the best Interests of the
state?
He has been on view at close range
now for seven days, and the question
is one that no unbiased man has been
able to answer.
Speeches Are Disappointing.
Dlx' days have been days of con
ferences, his nights evenings of the
dreariest oratory that was ever In
flicted upon an unhappy community.
Toward the end of his stay his words
had an appreciable effect upon the at
tendance. Men escaped before he got
up to talk.
The new Governor's first speech was
made at a banquet of the Democratic
Manufacturers' Association.- - All the
papers In town, realizing that It was
the "keynote speech." made extra prep
arations to cover It. And the edi
torial disgust over the result was pa
thetic. ,
One managing editor, who had or
dered it run In full, with liberal full
facing, first read it in proof. Then he
ordered it cut down to two sticks after
remarking: "He talks about Cain and
Abel, Shakespeare and the early his
tory of wampum, but hasn't a word to
say regarding rapid - transit, the ne
cessity of economy in the state gov
ernment, or the kind of reform meas
ures that are needed. If he wasn't
the Governor-elect no one would let
him ever read thia stuff."
Kural Ways Noticeable.
John A. Dix looka like what he is-
business man of the rural type, born
in the country and reared there, and
one who haa always earned a good live
lihood there. He has not the ways of
a city man, nor is ho by any means a
country bumpkin. He is sby rather
than uncouth. Ha does not look com
fortable in evening dress, but he never
eats with his knife- He does not
ride around on rubberneck wagons, yet
Is timid about crossing Broadway in
the busy hours. If he sat alone in a
restaurant in the Great White Way

iSneclaLI At least 10 families, vari
ously estimated at from 150 to 1T0 men,
women and children, were drowned
through the sinking into the sea of
their island home on Saturday.
Th, telonri In tli o rnnlar nf the Tin
Pango lagoon in Salvador, disappeared
after a scries of earthquake shocks
and slid into the depths of the lagoon,
carrying with It nearly all the Inhabi
tants. The eartnquaKe shocks were
felt throughout the Republic They
began early in the evening and ln-
naooAj4 In frsiniinv nnri violence as
night progressed, until about mid
night, when watchers on shore heard
sounds of guns from the people on ths
island. Shortly after that a huge bon
fire was lighted on the island and
about 1 o'clock a boatload of fright
ened women and children reached the
mainland.
Boatmen Dare Xot Aid.
Those oh board reported that other
boats were coming as fast as they
nnirt Y.c filled, as the island was slow-
ly sinking under the feet of tne in-'
habitants. Boatmen of the mainland

were anaea to aia, out m
tinued shocks and the steadily in
creasing violence of the sea, ths
boat men were afraid to venture.
While they debated another and more
violent tremor shook the mainland and
the fire and other' lights on the island
vanished.
Distress Signals Noted.
San Salvador was repeatedly shaken
by earthquakes last week and the series
of Thursday night was especially se
vere. The people on the little island of.
IIo Pango were observed giving sig
nals of distress late Thursday after
noon, but because of the excitable con
dition of the people on the Salvadoran
shore, it was out of the question at
that hour to send them relief. The
earth-shocks continued until past mid
night Thursday, and Friday morning
the island had entirely disappeared.
In the morning not a vestige of the
island remained.
Small Islands Known to Sink.
This is not the first time that Jsmall
