Another inspection was begun yes terday to determine recommenda tions to be made by representatives of the underwriters as to the disposi tion of the vessel. . The hull is said to be fast assuming such a condition that salvage operations will be diffi cult and it may be decided to offer the wreck for sale as she stands and means be taken to provide for Its removal. All equipment that it is possible to save from the super structure, also stores and supplies, are being shifted onto barges for transfer to Astoria. Probe to Be Resumed. An investigation Into the collision, which was begun Friday before Cap tain E. S. Edwards and John Wynn, United States eteam vessel inspectors, U to be resumed tomorrow afternoon. Testimony was taken Friday of Cap tain A. R. Pearson, pilot in charge of the Iowan at the time, as well as of officers and members of the crew of that ship, and a postponement until tomorrow was arranged, owing to the fact the crew of the Welsh Prince was needed at the scene to assist in salvaging some of the cargo aboard. Following the investigation, the In spectors will determine whather charges shall be made against the pilots, which would result in a forma! trial. Robert Warrack, superintendent ot the 17th lighthouse district, yesterday advised mariners that there had been a shift made in an aid just below the wreck so that a flashing red gas buoy, designated as No. 7, now mark, the westerly side of the entrance of the channel below the scene, while a red nun buoy Is located close to the stern of the ship to mark the edge of safe water there and that is desig nated No. 12-A. lovran Repair Bids Opened. Tenders were opened yesterday morning at the office of the Columbia Pacific Shipping company, agent for the American-Hawaiian line, for re pairs to the Iowan and Portland firms were low, though there were proposals from San Francisco and Puget sound contractors as well. The Albina Marine Iron Works was re garded in line for the job with a bid of $57,000 and a promise to finish the work in 19 days, though the Smith & Watson Interests filed a bid of $53, 500, but through an oversight failing to specify a time limit. The Willam ette Iron & Steel works" figure was " $82,800 and the Pacific Construction & Repair company $66,570, and out-of-town bidders included the Bethlehem Steel Works, of San Francisco, $69, 110, and the Moore Shipbuilding com pany, also of San Francisco, $60,750, with the Todd Shipbuilding & Dry dock compar.y, Seattle, $59,702. An abstract of the bids was tele graphed to New York with recommen dations and an immediate answer is looked for. Work is to be carried on night and day in order to rush it as much as possible. The Iowan was floated from the drydock yesterday and is expected to be lifted again Tuesday, after which she probably will be out of water 12 days, then lowered, as the rest of the work can be handled alongside a dock. Damage to the steamer was confined to her bow, the stem being broken as well as some of the plates and frames. Columbia Rises Again. VANCOUVER, Wash., June 3 (Special.)
