of the scenes in which he played a part,

"I was asleep when the first explo

' 'and at the same moment that I heard
tho crash, there camo a cry of 'fire.'
"When I rushed on deck I thought
for a moment that the entire ship was

on deck and ran forward.

Lloyd.
Tho second officers denied that tho
crew showed any sign of cowardico or
that Captnin Inch was compelled to
threaten them.
"Ho did not draw a revolver," said
Lloyd, "because, in the first place, he
did not carry one, and if ho had, he
could not have used it, owing to tho
condition of his eyes. Ho wus blinded

the necessity of providing a wealthy

ability of keeping the duchess' millions

more than $5,000,000 from her father.
Sho is 22 years old and the prince is

Seattle, Wash., Oct. 15. The United

Coal of sufficient quantity and qual
ty has been found at the Matanuska

there, to warrant the opening of a mine
by the government, according to unof

A bill which will give the navy tho
right to open its own minos in Alaska,
is now before congress, and its passage
is said to dopend solely upon whother
tho coal doposits in Alaska are fount

that Unelo Sam will quit buying coal

Thinks Captain
Has Suspicions
Remarkable Silence as to Origin of Fire
on Volturno May Mean He Is
Blaming Firebugs.
UNITID FBISS LltSED WIBI.
New York, Oct. 15. Seafaring men
gonorally expressed the opinion that
there was much significance in the
omission by Captain Inch, the Voltur
no's commander, of any reference in his
story wirelessed from the Eroonland,
as to the origin of the fire which de
stroyed the liner.
Their view was that he probably
shared the Uranium officials' suspicion
that it was incendiary, and preferred to
keep his own counsel until he can ex
press himself before a regularly consti
tuted board of inquiry.
Experts thought It impossible, too,
that an ordinary fire should have
spread so fast as to have actually trap
ped the watch in the forecastle and
burned the men to doath, or that within
so little time as five minutes after its
discovery it should have burned through
the forward hatches.
The captain's dotalled version of het
disaster was eagerly awaited.

A verdict of not guilty was found by

Albany, N. Y., Oct. 15. The Suber
impeachment court denied this after
noon the request of the prosecution for
permission to amend the impeachment
articles, but the ruling was no particu

it was the defense's view that the
failure of the articlos to mention Dun

witnesses whoso testimony the execu
tive hnd tried to suppress, coupled with,
tho fact that thoy woro the only wit
nesses thero was any evidence he tried

Tho prosecuting lawyers feared the
