In Rear Admiral Taylor Admiral Dewey
has a chief of staff who ranks as one of
the foremost theorists In the navy, and
the other of the staff bear high
reputations. Captain Pillsbury command,
ed tho attacking fleet In the search prob
lem of the maneuvers off the New Eng
land coast last summer. Captain Swift
was one of the board of arbitrators of
the combined army and navy maneuvers
on the eastern approach to New York
City. Commander Sargent is Admiral
Dewey's aid..
The maneuvers will be so extensive and
so prolonged that the trip of Admiral
Dewey is anything but a pleasurable
junket. It will be well toward the latter
part of January before he returns to the
United States, and all but a short period
at Christmas time will be spent in battle
exercises, fleet evolutions, inspection^ and
target practice. at sea, all of which will
be directly under the eye of the com
mander in chief of the combined fleet
As the trim white yacht slipped down
the Potomac the victor of Manila Bay
chatted enthusiastically with members of
the ship's staff on the quarterdeck, and dis
played in the forthcoming arduous work
of battle exercises and fleet evolutions as
lively an interest as could have been ex
pected from a newly commissioned en
sign.
In compliance with a previous' request
Rear Admiral Terry, commandant of the
yard, gave orders that there. should be no
salute or ceremony when Admiral Dewey,
attired- In- civilian's costume, arrived'" at
the yard. As he went? on 'board he was
received by Lieutenant Commander Al
bert Cleaves, commanding the Mayflower;
the members of Admiral Dewey's staff;
Rear Admiral Taylor, chief of the bureau
of Navigation, who will act as chief of
staff; Captain William Swift of the gen
eral board, Captain John E. Pillsbury
and Commander Nathan Sargent, • who
had already 4 arrived and were aboard the
Mayflower." No stop will be made by the
Mayflower until she arrives about De
cember 7 at St D. W. I., within
sight of .the hills of Culebra, where the
North and South Atlantic and European
squadrons will assemble for the combined
fleet maneuvers under Admiral Dewey's
command.

BAUL.T STU MARIE, Mich., Dec L— In
the terrible -west gale on Lake Superior
Saturday night the steamer Charles He
bard was drives, on the rocky shore at
Point Mamalnse and was soon dashed to
pieces by the seas. Her crew, consisting
of thirteen men, and a woman cook, have
not been heard from and It Is feared all
have perished. The schooner Aloha, one
of the consorts which the Hebard had In
tow, broke away from the steamer Lake
Superior and has not been heard of since.
When last sighted she was laboring heav
ily In the trough of the sea. Little hope is
entertained for her safety. The schoon
ers "Warming-ton and Francomb, the other
vessels of the tow, ran before the gale af
ter breaking away from the steamer and
finally succeeded In reaching an anchor
age «-t Copper Mine Point. To-night the
tugs General and Philadelphia were dis
patched from this port to bring the two
schooners here and to search for some
trace of the Aloha, .
The four boats had loaded lumber at
West Superior and were bound for Lake
Erie points. "When In the middle of Lake
Superior Saturday night they were struck
by the gale and soon after the Aloha, the
rear vessel of the tow, parted her tow
line and went adrift. When last seen she
was rolling In the trough, with none of
her canvas set. The remaining two con
sorts either broke away or •were set adrift
soon afterward^ Before daylight Sunday
rnorrlngr the Francomb reached Copper
Mine Point,. at the east end of the lake.
When the day dawned the' wreck of the
Hebard was eeen on the shore, with only
the smokestack and the pilothouse stick-
Ing out of the water, but by 5:30 o'clock
everything had disappeared and the ship
«le<?. cargo were being strewn along the
beach by the breakers.
As the shore at that point Is very
rugged and rocky it Is feared that even
if the crew had attempted to leave the
ttecmer when she struck their boat must
have been dashed to pieces.

Strong efforts will be made in committee to eliminate the
feature of the bill which provides that returns shall be made on
oath, 'and a sharp contest is expected on this. The Judiciary;
Committee which will pass on this bill consists of these mem-,
bers: Jenkins of Wisconsin, Parker of New Jersey, Overstreet
of Indiana, Alexander of New York, Warner of- Illinois, Little
field of Maine, Kahn of California, Thomas of Iowa, Powers of
Massachusetts, Nevin of Qhio, Republicans, and De Armond of
Missouri, Lanham of Texas, Elliott of South Carolina, Smith of
Kentucky, Fleming of Georgia, Clayton of Alabama, Democrats.
The six Democrats of.the committee, which, until a new
member is appointed, consists of sixteen, will vote for the pub
licity bill. Littlefield is a Republican who is already committed
to vote for such a measure and Kahn of California is under
stqod also to be in favor of it. The attitude of the o^ther Re
publicans is at present unknown; and great importance is at
tached to the new member to be appointed by Speaker Hender
son. ItJs possible that he may hold the balance of power.
'Former Speaker Reed was the central figure of the group
at the Capitol to-day.
"What are- you going to do this session?" asked Reed of
one of the House leaders. The reply was that nothing would
be done beyond passing, appropriation bills.
.-'¦ "What," drawled the former Speaker, with well simulated
surprise, "are you going to miss your golden opportunity t*
amend the constitution?" . ,
"What do you mean?" the House leader asked.
"Well,-an indefinable something is to be done in a way no
body.knows how and at a time nobody knows when. That, as
I .understand, is the programme against the trusts. The oppor
tunity is -so", broad I should think you could not miss it."
NEW MEMBER MAY HAVE THE BALANCE OF POWER.
Persons making false returns shall.be deemed guilty of per
jury. The taxation feature in the bill, which provides for a levy
on watered stock, -will be retained, as this is thought to meet the
requirements of the proposition made by Representative Hep
burn, in behalf of which he has already endeavored to enlist the
leadership. The section provides "that all corporations engaged
in interstate commerce whose outstanding capital stock is not
f uily paid in in cash, or other property at its cash market .value,
shall pay annually, on the first day of September of each year, to
the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, a tax equal
to 1 per centum of its capital stock issued and outstanding."
The original Littlefield bill called for the returns of every
corporation engaged in interstate commerce to be filed with the
Secretary of the. Treasury on or before the 1st of September o!
each year. An attempt will be made to amend this so that the
figures of such corporations shall be submitted to the Interstate
Commerce Commission instead of the Secretary of the? Treasury,
giving this -commission jurisdiction over interstate corporations.'
This, it is understood, is the most important change to be made.
The measure requires all the facts relating to interstate corpora
tions to, be placed before the Government authorities, and if con
solidated, the names of constituent companies, where and when
organized, are also to, be submitted. Other facts and figures to
be" filed relate *to the amount of Suthonzed capital "stbck7~sFare3
Jnto'wHich it is divided, the par value, whether common or pre
ferred, the amount issued and outstanding, the amount paid in,
whether in c4sh or property, the total indebtedness, mortgages,
notes, debentures and other obligations and the time when pay
able. A statement is also to be fifed of the assets, at their pres
ent cash market value, and liabilities, total earnings and in
come, operating expenses, interest, taxes, maintenance, net earn
ings and dividends declared, salaries of officials and wages of
employes are also to be made known.
Government officials, either of the Treasury Department or
the Interstate Commerce Commission, whichever may be decided
on by those interested in the publicity measure, are to prepare
blank returns which the corporations are to fill out,_disclosing
their true financial condition. The treasurer^or other officer of
such corporation having knowledge shall answer on oath all in
quiries that may be made in writing relative to the financial, con
dition, and the treasurer of such corporation shall make oath
that the returns made are true. * *
yTT^ALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASH-
B INGTON, Dec. 1. — Representatives of the great finan
\|^^' dal interests of this country are gathering early in
Washington to oppose President Roosevelt's plan o!
publicity, as a remedy for the trust evil. No less a financier than
J.-Pierpont Morgan and his associates have engaged a large
suite of rooms at a leading hotel for the session, to watch and
prevent "publicity legislation in particular/ and all other bills to
regulate great combinations of capital in general. And no less
a lawyer than Thomas B. Reed, ex-Speaker of the House, who
is now in Washington, is said to be on the ground in the interest
of great corporations which fear adverse legislation.
The bill now pending in the Judiciary Committee looking
to publicity, will, in an amended form, be the measure on which
the contest will be waged. It will be .brought forward at once.
It is known as the Littlefield publicity .bill, which the Maine
member failed to get out of, the committee at the last 'session.
Some changes will be made in this measure at the suggestion of
prominent members of the administration, and it will then be
pressed for consideration. On this account all eyes are now
turned on the Judiciary Committee of the House, of which Rep
resentative Jenkins of Wisconsin' will be made chairman. The
vote of the full committee referred this bill* to a subcommittee.
