The accident happened all in a min
ute, according to a member of the
Deutsehland's erew, who talked brief
ly about it this morning. The tug, he
said, got in front of tlie submarine,
und tbe Pciitsrhjaliit struck it in the
icrn, lifting it so far out of the wa
ter that the tug's nose went under.
An explosion of the boiler of the
tug followed immediately. Captain
Ilinseh caught hold of a guy rope nnd
was carried down with the tug. When
he reappeared on tho surface be
managed to seize a life-preserver
which had been thrown out from the
Jleutschland, and was hauled aboard
that craft.

Captain Koenig of the Deutsehland
appeared pale and shaken as he stop
ped ashore from bis vessel on its re
turn. He refused to talk about the
collision and immediately sent word
to Vice-President Paul Cr. llilken of
the Enslem Forwarding company,
who arrived at. the company's offices
shortly nflerward and went into con
sultation with him. In the absence
of authoritative information, consid
erable speculation as to the cause of
the accident was current. Among
shipping men, the opinii n w..v ox
pressed that the steering gear of the
submersible may have been nt fault,
causing her to run squarely into the
convoying tug.
Captain Ilinseh returned lo port on
board the Dcnlschlnnd.
The Peulscldnnd drew out iif her
pocket at the pier of the Eastern For

of certain countries of pretended se
cret pourparliers being carried on be

"Russia will maintain intact the in

Nothing that our enemies can do will
shalte in any degree the decision of

Representative Adam son, author of

chairman of tho congressional com
mittee about, to investigate the whole

that congress would not wait for the

national paralysis as was threatened
a few months ago,
Mr. Adamsou told the chamber the
law was within the enacting power
of congress and denied the conten
tion that, it is an act to regulate wages
land not an act fixing hours of em
jployment. Speaking for himself,
I alone, he did not. believe in govern
j ment ownership of railroads nor in
any attempt to consolidate the regu
I luting power into federal hands lo tho
i exclusion of state commissions,

back in two years when another con
gress is to' he elected or in four when
a president is to he elected and say
i'genflement if you do not pass a law
I providing time and a half for over
time, we shall strike" said he. ."It
