Defense of the discharge of the three companies of the Twenty-fifth infantry, member of which were guilty of the Brownsvlll shooting, was made In the senate today I by Culberson, of Texas, who thus pre- entd the unusual spectacle of a South ern ITIIHHTOttU neillMUT PB VIHMiqilUM UI a Republican president. Foraker be gan a reply, but whs not able to finish it on aevounV of a sure throat and se cured an adjournment until Monday of the debate on his resolution Instructing the military committee to inquire into the president's order. Ixsige offered an amendment limiting the inquiry to the conduct of the troop, t litis avoid ing any question as to the president' authority to disclutrge them. Cullwrson said great injustice had been done the people of Brownsville. The conduct of the negro soldiers had been very irritating. He related that on August 4, the day before the "shoot ing up" of the town, a criminal assault had been committed by one of the soldiers on the wife of a reputable eit- isen. No arrests had heed made for this crime. Culberson defended Cap tain McDonald, of the Texas Rangers, to whom Foraker hd referred, because of Major Btockson'a reference to him as a man who was "so brave that he would not hesitate to charge hell with a bucket of water." Senator Nelson Introduced a bill to prohibit the sale of land on which are situated beds of coal, lignite, asphalt, petroleum and natural gas in the gov ernment domain until such deposits have been exhausted.

FIRST AND ONLY EDITION. Japanese Reds Cannot Long Maintain Anarchist Paper. San Francisco, Jan. 4. The case of T. Takeuchi, of Berkeley, publisher of the Revolution, will be reported to the government at Tokio by Japanese Con aul General Uyeno. "We will make a report of the Ta keuchi incident to Tokio," said Secre tary Oyama, of the Japanese consulate yesterday. "We can take no action in the matter here. It is in the hands of the local authorities, but we will report the matter to our government and send a copy of the Revolution to Tokio. I think there will be no second issue of tre publication. It is a publication that must cost some money to get out, and the nail dozen or so young men who are associated with Takeuchi in the publication cannot be very flush of funds." United States Commissioner of Im migration Hart II. North has been quietly gathering evidence against Takeuchi. He will forward the re sults of his investigations to Washing' ton. If arrests are to be made orders will be sent to North. Miners Strike for Eight-hour Day, Grass Valley, Cal., Jan. 4. Six hundred and fifty miners went on strike yesterday.

SHIP MAYBE LOST LKa Ratts Washed Ashore From City c! Panama. BAD STORMS HAVE BEEN RAGING Vsl Sailed From San Francisco on Dcmbr SI for Ancon, on Isthmus of Panama. Son Francisco, Cal., January 8. A dispatch to the Call from Santa Crua any that a message received lute lost night from Waddcll Bench, on the mast 40 miles north of here, my that the Pacific Mail steamship City of Panama has been wrecked and tlmt must of the 116 persons on board are believed to have perished. Tfie message states tliat four life rafts have been washed ashore fully provisioned. ' The City of Panama left San Fran cisco on December 31 for Ancon, on the isthmus of Panama. Two of the life rafts were found nt Waddull beach and two a few miles farther south. Alf were plainly marked "City of Panama." They con tained store such as are thrust into boats which put off from wrecked ships. One of tho rafts contained a box of crackers and a cask of water. In the boats were also found oars and boathooka. Two of the rafts were lashed together with ropes. Terrific storms have been raging and it is deemed impossible that any rafts which may bo afloat can survive the storm. The Impression prevails that every one of the 00 passengers snd 56 members of the crew who left San Francisco has perished. It is believed that the City of Pana ma encountered a severe storm shortly after leaving San Francisco and tliat she put out to sea. Returning closer to shore to continue her trip to the south, she met with another storm, which rendered her helpless. Vhclhcr she was torn to piece bv the galo or driven on the rocks is not known. Below Waddoll beach wreckage is drifting ashore in vast quantities. Ranchers are patrolling the shore, watching for bodies which may drift upon the beach. San t rancisco local mariners refuse to believe that the City of Panama lias been wrecked. They believe she la In distress in the storm and that her life boats were washed overboard.
