mail steamer Derlin from Harwick
to the Ilook of Holland, having safely
weathered the hurricane, was wrecked
as she was entering port. With the

The ship first grounded and then
almost immediately struck a jetty and

that all efforts to save life were ut-

ed to reach them.
LATER
Largely as a result of the courage
and determination of Prince Henry
of the Netherlands, the Prince Con-
sort, that which appeared to be an
impossible task has been achieved
and the heroic and unflinching ef-
forts of the Dutch lifeboat men suc-
ceeded in rescuing alive 11 more of
the survivors of the illfated steamer
Berlin.
The gallant Dutch lifeboat men were
rewarded after more than 30 hours of
hard and dangerous work.
According to stories related
eve-witnesses, the Berlin took

SMOOT RETAINS HIS SEAT ib
Mormon Senator Wins By
Nearly Two to BY
Reed Smoot, the Mormon Te
from Utah, will retain his seat in the |
United States senate. The final vote
was on the original resolution report-
ed by the committee on privileges and
elections and whieh declared that |
Smoot was not entitied to a seat in
the senate. This was defeated by
vote of 42 to 2S. Nine Republi
senators voted against Smoot,
Burrows. Clapp, Du ‘Pont, Hale,
Hansborough, Hemenway, Kittredge, |
T.a IFollette and Smith. The follow-
ing three Democrats lined up on the
Smoot side; Dlackburn, Clark of Mon- |
tana and Daniel. Senator Dolliver of
lowa, a member of the commitice and
who signed the majority report
verse to Smoot, ehanged his attitude
and voted for Smoot, previously ex-
plaining to the senate his reasons for
this change. ]
Reed Smoot was elected to the sen-
ate: cn January 21, 1903. : The pro:
test of the citizens of Salt Lake City
was filed on January 26 and the pro- |
test of the Rev. Dr. Leilack, alleging |
that Smoot was a polygamist, was fil-
ed on Fevruary 22, 1903. Smoot took
his seat in the senate on March 5, of
the same year, and it was not until
nearly a year later, February 23

that the hearings in the investigation

were thorough is shown by the fact
that 103 witnesses were examined and
3,331 printed pages of testimony were
taken. The expense of this investiga- |
tion to the government amounted to
over $30,000, one witness alone,
Charles M. Owen, drawing over $1,-
000 in witness fees. More than 2,-

senators asking for the expulsion of
