Colorado, rose ta a personal explana
tlon. This morning he discovered that
an alleged news agency had erroneously
reported hia remarks in regard to Mr.
Hainer, at Nebraska, and he had imme
diately written a letter .of apology,
which he sent to the clerk's dek and
had read. He added lie thought he owed
a more explicit apology to the gentle
man from Nebraska, What he said had
been said in the heat of debate, follow
ing the direct charge that he desired
the Bland bill defeated..
Cooper, of Indiana, was not satisfied,
and gave Pence a severe scoring. He
closed by a reminder that as Pence had
large interests In the silver mines, and
therefore had direct pecuniary inter
esits in the pending legislation, he
should be careful how he attacked the
motives of other members.
Cummlngs, democrat, of New York,
jumped to his feet and brought on a
laugh by Bhoutlng: "If It Is in order, 1
suggest now is an opportune time for
some one to apologize for his remarks
with reference to the New Yoik dent
ocracy."

cided today fo make a favmUljle report
on the bill giving clerks of circuit courts
in California and Nevada twice the com

Washington, Feb. 27. The remains of
the Kearsarge will be raised from: Roiv
cador Reef, If the house committee on
naval affairs has Its way. Today the
committee voted to report favorably the
bill of Blair, of New Hampshire, but
was more generous than Blair proposed.
While his bill would appropriate $30,
000, the committee decided to raise the
sum to $45,000, with the proviso that the
wrecking company shall receive not to
exceed $10,000 If the attempt is a failure.
Several proposals for raising the Kear
sarge have been made, wrecking com
panies representing that the attempt
would be a perfectly feasible one.

duced a bill to incorporate an organic
tlon formed by veterans who served on
the Kearsarge during the war. It is
called the Kearsarge Association of
Naval YeternnB. The survivors intend

affairs, a letter endorsing the project
for rescuing the Kearsarge. The secre
tary urged than any action toward the
rescue be taken at once.

bate proceed, adding that the Kearsarge
rescue and other projects would have
to wait until, the silver bill is disposed
of.

Captain He yerman Breaks Down
During the Inquiry.
COULDN'T CONTROL HIS EMOTION
The Recollection of the Crew Proves
Too Much for Him.
Arsoclated Press.
New York, Feb. 27. The court of in
quiry ordered to investigate the wre-:k
of ths Kearsarge re-convenod in the
court -martial room of ' the Brooklyn
navy yard today. There was one extra
ordinary scene to mark the day's pro
ceedings. Capt. Heyerman broke down
while telling the story of the wreck, and
the court-room was cleared until he
could control his emotions. Heyerman
was asked If he had saved any of the
ship's records! parttculorly tho "rough"
and "smooth" log books. "I mad i two
attempts," said he, "after tho vessel
t'lruck to save the log-books, as well as
tho night order book, knowing they
would be wanted as exhibits In the In
vestigation which I knew would follow.
I was, however, only able to save my
life." "
Questioned as to his confidence in the'
charts and instruments on board of the
Kearsarge, the commander said: "J
had no doubt as to the accuracy of the
charts and Instruments on board. Tho
night sextant was a little out of gear,
but the other Instruments were In per
fect condition."
Heyerman .answering Judge Advocate
Kelly's questions, said he had been In
the navy since 1801, and had command
ed the Yantlc, Kearsarge and Pensacola.
"I was sure the Kearsarge was so far
to the north of Roncador Reef that I
was well clear of It," said he.
"What was the discrepancy," asked
the Judge advocate, "between the point
where you really were and whore you
thought you were when the ship
struck?"
"bout six miles to the southward
and four" miles to the eastward of the
point , where I supposed we were from
our reckoning."
While referring to the exemplary con
duct of the officers and crew while lyihg
at the wharf, as well as all during the
trying days on the Key, Heyerman be
came vlBibly affected at the recollec
tion of the men's apparent deep respect
and love for him. Recalling this devo
tion on tho part of the crew proved too
much for the bronzed commander, and
his mouth twitched at the corners and
big tears welled up Into his eyes.. He
finally had to stop, owing to his
tlons. .
