S. D. , Fob. 16. ( Special. ' ) In- thb present Insurance- row there Is ot course a great deal of gossip , more or less peri- liicit - and to the point. In this line might IJR clanfied a clash In which Public Examiner Taylor took a part , when he- was asked to- CM lal i the difference In the action's of the govrriior , In'suing the republican state of- ficial ¬ } for the whole sum collected by Ander- son ¬ for examination of Insurance companies , claiming that the whole amount , expense ac- count ¬ Included , was the property of the state. Then , after charging Examiner McLaren with the same thing , demanding that ho refund the excess charges to the companies , nnd keep only that which ho was allowed by- law. . Further , -why criminal prosecution waa begun against the republicans and the only attempt of punishment of populists was at- tempted ¬ removal from odlco. Ills replies to these iuesllons | wcro that "we are not through with KIpp and McLaren yet , " and that It would be an easy matter for the state to return excess charges to the Insur- O - anco companies to which they belonged , If they could secure the excess by suit In the name of the state. From his first reply It would bo Inferred that the governor Intends further criminal prosecutions In the Insur- ance ¬ department. ' Another Is abatement from Examiner Me- Ltfron - , that In the case ot the 'Equitable- Life Insurance company of lcs Molncs , for the examination of which the governor Iu his letter scores the department for examining a company which everyone know was sound without examination , that , one of the securi- ties ¬ scheduled as dmong the assets of the company wns n real estate mortgage ot $10,000 given by Lee & 1'rentls on lands In Cloy and Union counties. Another Is the assurance of Commissioner KIpp that ho hnn In his possession a letter from the governor demanding the employ- ment ¬ In the Insurance office of Representat- ives ¬ King , regardless ot the constitutional provisions which prevent n member of the legislature from oecurlng any benefit from an- olllcu which he holpwl to create. Yet another In that T. II. Ayres , who has been appointed hy the governor to succeed KIpp , came to the Insurance department u short time before the present scrap , and de- mands ¬ half the Insurance statements of the flrat circuit for his paper , the Plain Talk , nnd .stated that ho would publish them In a special edition , so the other papers ot the clicult would not catch on and raise a row about It , and that would give the necessary funds for his new building next spring. Of course ho would not hold up nn Insurance company for examination fees , but how about thci "pop" brethren of the press.- On . .tho part of the governor1 !* oIMco there Is very little said about the matt r further than that the laws of the Insurance depart- ment ¬ have been violated , In the fact that the examiner charged excessive fees , making charges for a greater number of days than arc shown by the companies to have been put In nt the work , and charging $10 per day and expenses In all non-assessment com- Iianle - , when but expensea , 'not to exceed S10 per day are allowed by the statute. , Iloth sttlea claim to be confident of win- illng -, out In the hearing before the supreme court next week. lliimliiKVrti1n line !

Colorado ought to be one of tde best regions In the world" for the culture of olives , " remarked C. A. Rand , a prominent fruit dealer of California to u reporter of the Denver News. "Do you know the olive Is coming forward as otic of the most profitable crops ot the Pacific ecast ? There arc non In California over 35u,000 olive trees which have reached the productive utaRe and the state has over 3,000,000 nonbearing trees.- It . requires seven ycara for the treu to ar- rive ¬ at the stage of profitable bearing. Cal- ifornia ¬ has consumed all the homo product Ilius far. Last year we sent twenty barrels of the fruit to Chicago ns a sample nnd or- ders ¬ have been rolling In from that city <it- a rate which would require the entire crop of the ctate to fil- l."Ccllfornln . , " said Mr , RSod , "Is the flrxt region of the world to place the ripe olive on the market. The ripe olive Is ao far superior to the green that a person who has tasted the ripe fruit will never afterwards call for the green. The green fruit Is bitter , but the ripe Is perfectly delicious. The Cal- ifornia ¬ olives bring 70 cents gallon , but there Is a good profit In the fruit at 40 cents.- Of . course as the output Increases prices will fall , but the future of the olive is extremely bright. The people of this country ure yet to be educated as * o the desirability of the olive as a food , and when a gccicp.il dqmand- oncj gets under way , California cannot hope to meet It. Then will be the opportunity of- sonfe state like Colorado , which bns a mild climate , sandy soil and the conditions nec- essary ¬ foe tti , successful culture of the tree. " Mr. Hand eays the outlook for fruit deal- ers ¬ Is brighter this year than for a long- time past. The fruit business has developed so immensely on the Pacific coast that thousands of acres ot orchards are planted every year and new orchards are yearly sending their products to the market. ' 'Mr. . Kind estimates that California has 13,000,000 fruit trees which are bearing , and 18,000,000 fruit 'trees of various kinds In the nonbcar- Ing - stage. Ho owns one peach orchard whlcC- iyieldedfour ton&.of peaches to the acre.

Live Stock association has determined to 'exterminate , If possible , the wolves that infest thu ranges of Okla- homa ¬ and annually destroy thousands of dollars worth of cattle. The association of- fers ¬ $ " 0 each for tlio scalp of a full grown wolf and $10 each for scalps ot whelps. The total -value of a full grcwn wolf scalp Is $25 , as the commissioner of Wooiward county pays a premium of $3 and the scalp has a market ot 2. It might seem that killing wolves would bo a lucrative employment , but as a matter of fact the dlinculty of catching the wolves Is so great that the profits are not big. The range wolves are powerful animals and easily kill the biggest Hteera. ( iiv * rn rN I JIIIIIKI | C uiliNlpn. PHOENIX , Ariz. , Fob1C. . ( Special. ) Governor M. H.

ORGANIZATION OF COLONISTS. The organization which proposes to oc- cupy ¬ the vromlsed land la to bo known ao the Croatian Colonization society ot America. The committee In charge of the movement made a trip to the grounds last week amV spent several days looking over the valley.

The greatest Interest prevailed among senators ami representatives aa to the extent of the Maine disaster , and many ot them hur- ried ¬ to the Navy nnd State departments to learn If there were any further details. With only the first reports before them , and n recognition of the gravity of cny utterances , there wns a hesitancy to express opinions at this time. The Immense gravity of the situation In case later advices should show that the disaster was not purely acci- dental ¬ , was admitted by all public men. Conservative public men ! n the face of the appalling catastrophe , the meager Informa- tion ¬ at hand and Its possible consequences , therefore declined to express any opinion at this time. Chairmen Hitt of the foreign affairs com ¬ mittee. Chairman Dlngley of the ways and means committee , and members of the naval committee of thp liouso , all said they pre- ferred ¬ to await fuller IB formation before ex- pressing ¬ themselves. . Mr. Hitt said It would be well for the public to follow the CUE given by Captain Slgsbee and suspend Judg- ment ¬ until the cauo of the disaster was ascertained. , . . Senator Platt of Connecticut expressed the opinion that the exjilqslcn would be found to bo the result of aiiaccldent from within and ho doubted that any one could have planned and carried out a plot to bring about an explosion cpj the ship- .KxSenator . Hutlerr'of.South Caroliifa , who waa a member of the cpmmlttee en foreign relations In the senate , during his service , said that t was uecliledly strange that American vessels have visited every port In the world and no aceidejj befallen them, but as BOOH as a vessel Visited Havana this great disaster should emir. General Butler was of the oplnloiv tnat some bold man had gene aboard thp, Maine and , placed a- gronadft with it'would explode the magazine. ; It was probable , he thought , that many people had been per- mitted ¬ to visit the war ship and that some- one of the visitors had carried a grenade aboard. Senator Falrbnnk says : "The reports are so meager that It Is impossible to detorm'Lic the cause of tlio explosion cr locate the re- sponsibility ¬ of any one at fault. A thorough Investigation doubtless will bo instituted by the proper authorities. It Is a man de- plorable ¬ accident , and one which will awaken the most general svmpathy. " Senator Warren of Wyoming said : "If It should develop that the Spanish had any- thing ¬ to do with the occurrence both the United States navy and the army ought to- be summoned to take the matter up In earn ¬ est. If it should prave' to be an accident , it should bo carefully Investigated , for It Is high time that such accidents were brought to a cloje. It has apparently como to be true that our naval vessels cannot make any move , cannot go up a stream or down a stream , or out to sea , without grounding or having some other accident befall them , I hope , therefore , that no time will bo lou in determining the cause and placing the responsibility for the- occurrence , whether due to the hand of a foreigner or a member of our own forces. " Senator I'asco : "It Is a deplorable oc- currence ¬ , but It is Impossible to say whether anyone can bo held responsible or blame ¬ worthy. Certainly a most rigid investigation should bo made Into the accident by the Navy department , and If It should subse- quently ¬ appear that legislative action Is nec- cesary - , congress should take the matter hi- hand. . For the present , however. It Is fall- to - presume that the president and Navy department will take the proper steps In the matter. " A very prominent maval olllccr , who did not wish his cm mo used because of the meager- nciss - of present Information as to dc-tal.'s , expressed the Informal opinion that the acci- dent ¬ occurred from spontaneous combustion In the coal bunkers , the heat of which ex- ploded ¬ the powder In the supplementary magazines adjoining. Still another prominent officer wao very confident that the forward magazine ot the Ma'no could not have exploded. "Had the inagaKlne e-xploJcd , " said ho , "tho ehlp would have been blown to Hinders. " The news of , the disaster created a pro- found ¬ Impression at the capital. Senators and members of the house , as a rule , ex- pressed ¬ the opinion for publication that the catastrophe was the result of accident and not of design , but thcro wcro eoma opmlcns , generally expressed under the breath , with the admonition not to publish , to the effect that the affair looked very mysterious acid doubtful. As n rwult senators expremed the opinion that tbo department would and should make a thorough Investigation and added that for the pmtnt It would be un- necessary ¬ for congrcva to take the matter up , Senator Hale , chairman of the committee an naval affairs and a-juiember of the com- mittee ¬ on appropriation ? , said that ho had just como from an Uviqrylou' with the secre- tary ¬ of the navy and ftiat he felt confident that the Navy department would institute a thorough investigation Into the disaster , "Thcro Is no occaajorii" said the senator , "for congress to taketho matter up. Surely something should bnjpfj to the department and this Is one of yia.hlngs ( which In my opinion should be so feft. It U , of course , Impossible from the , received to say how ihe accident qccurred , but I feel confident that the factj when developed will show that It was a 'accident. The Maine was , of course , for action In case action should bo nectary and there may- be vulnerable points , exposed , A battleship Is little lesd than a v cano under the most favorable circumstances , nnd when legislat- ing ¬ for the Increase of the navy I always feel that a war vessel may prove to be as dangerous to those on board as to those with whom It mlgljt engage In hostile conflict. FOP this reason I am sure tlio affair In Ha- vana ¬ harbor will pro-,0 as a genuine nen- satlon - In naval circles atI deem any po- litical ¬ aspect of It may be , " The senator expreise-,1 the opinion that congress would take steps to prevent the do- cream) of the navy , but would not undertake to say that there would bo Immediate efforts to replace the Maine , IIo said that what- ever ¬ could have caused the catastrophe ho was uure that no friend of Spain could have bcon guilty of such conduct for the reaeia that If there had been no higher motive the act would have been a very foolish and foo- lhardy ¬ one. He said tile Maine had cost , ac- cording ¬ to his recollection , between $3,090- 000 , - and 4000000. Senator Clay of Georgia : "The presump- tion ¬ la that the Navy department will give careful and thorough attention to the mat ¬ ter , < uiV ( It will mnkc such report as It may deem necessary. If then It becomes neces- sary ¬ for congress to net I am sure there will bo no hesitation In dealing with the matter. There Is no proof that the Spanish are In any way responsible for the eerlous calamity , and we should bo slow to make charges without proof to substantiate. I therefore content myself with saying that Investiga- tion ¬ Is alt that Is needed for the present and that this Investigation should bo rigid , let- ting ¬ the blame rest where It may. " Two members of the cabinet who spent eamo tlmo with the president today state that everything so Mr received Indicates that the less ot the Maine was due to accident. Captain 6lgsbco In Ills telegrams from Ha- vana ¬ states that ho Is not prepared to ox- proas - nn opinion on this point. Senators Chandler and Mason were In the room ot the senate committee on- postofllccs and post roads and ol course were talking about the nc- cldont. - . Senator Chandler eald that no one could tell now how the accident occurrc1.- It . might have been a torpedo under the bows ot the ship , or It might have been an acci- dent ¬ whlla handling ammunition. "But they arc not likely to have been handling am- munition ¬ at 10 o'clock at night , " put In Senator Mason- ."Oh . , they might have been , " continued Senator Chandler. "If the explosion was from within It was : r.o doubt an accident ; If from without then no doubt It was by de- sign. ¬ . " Senator Carter said It was a most serious and awful disaster. Ho expressed the opln- lonlon - that no amount of Investigation would clear up the mystery of how It occurred , The explosion would leave no trace of what took place bcforo and the burning of the ship would obliterate all possibility of learning much of what took place. The Maine Incident formed the principal topic ot consideration by the senate com- mittee ¬ on foreign relations at Its meeting to- day. ¬ . The affair was not before the com- mittee ¬ , but It was nevertheless allowed to displace almost all other business. The opinion generally expressed by members of the committee In this Informal conference was that the occurrence W<M of very serious Import and that It might result In grave complications unless Spain can make It very plain that no Spaniard was In any way ro- oponslble - for It. A prominent member of the committee said after the close of the meet- Ing - that Spain would bo expected to make an explanation that would entirely clear Ui ; the mystery and ( tiat If It did not this coun- try ¬ would have a right to demand such ex- planation. ¬ . Most or the members of the com- mittee ¬ refused after the conference to ex- press ¬ any opinion concerning the occurrence- ."It . Is too serious to tall ; about at present. " said Senator Lodge , while Senator Culloni- said - "I can't-see how the explosion could have been the result of an accident and I think the tlmo Is rapidly approaching when thte country must do nomethlng. " Clark would only say : "It Is singular that ntich ac- cidents ¬ tinppen at such opportune times. " Senator Morgan of Alabama , a member of the committee on foreign affairs , said : "In the absence of definite information ns to the causes and results of the Maine catastrophe , I would not venture an opinion uiion It- .If It was an accident , as the first dispatches seem 'to indicate. It was most deplorable ; If It was due to treachery , as some are in- cllne - < l to believe , it was most heinous nnd no penalty would be too severe for those rc- sponsihle - for It. ' 'But whether the calamity was due to accident or treachery , I should like to see Introduced In congress a joint resolution providing for the immediate construction of two bat- tleships ¬ equal In size nnd equipment to the Maine , and ccstlng not a dollar less than the Ill-fated Maine cost. ' 'Action of that kind by us would indicate to the world that when- ever ¬ cr whrrover one of our ton'aclcs ' was cut off two would at once grow In. Its place. Senator Perkins of California , who has been a navigator all his life and knows thoroughly every detail In the construction and handling of great ships , said ; "I cannot conceive that such an explosion as that which Is reported to have wrecked the Maine could have resulted from an acci- dent. ¬ . The chances , it seems to me , are 999- In 1,000 that the calamity did not result from accident. It has been suggested that the explosion might have occurred while ammunition was being handled , but that Is scarcely credible as ammunition on a war- ship lying at anchor -is not handled at 10- o'clock at night. Then , too , the ammuni- tion ¬ on a war ship is ' 'fixed ammunition , which Is not In contact with anything at-all likely to produce an explosion. Every elec- tric ¬ wire and every spark of fireon board the ship Is far distant from the magazines and there Is no possibility of danger by these means being communicated to the am- munition. ¬ . The discipline of both officers and men on the Maine as well as on every other vessel , Is such that the explosion could net have been caused by any action of any one of them- ."Tho . magazines of the Maine and other ships of Its class , and the mechanism vhlch operates them , are constructed wltn all the nicety ot a watch. By the simple pngpu'o- of an electric button any magazine on hoard the vessel could bo instantly submerged and no fire could gain such headway aT to 011- danger any of the magazines without dis- covery. ¬ . "I am firmly of the belief that tlio horror In Havana harbor last night was not due to- accident. . I can scarcely conceive either that 11 was duo to the treachery of Spanish olliclals or was brought about 'Iiroujh t'rirc- ognizance. ' . However , the situation In Ha- vana ¬ Is so critical , and the Spanish feel ao keenly what appears to many of thorn an affront that the Maine should have been In the harbor , that It sesms not unlikely the catastrophe was duo to the action of Spanish sympathizers. That It was not an accident I fuel assured , and that It was due to treachery I am convinced. " Senator Mil.'n of the committee on foreign relations expressed the opinion that the oc- currence ¬ was the work of a torpedo. Senator Gorman of Maryland : "It Is a most appalling disaster , but no one attempts at this distance and bcforo any more facts are given to place the responsibility. " Senator Morrlll : "In my opinion tlio oc- currence ¬ is the result of an accident. I have no Idea that any Spaniard had any- thing ¬ whatever to do with It. " Ileprescntatlvo Mercer of Noljcaska Mid this afternoon : "If the death of 25:1 : Amer- ican ¬ tailors can , upon Investigation , bu traced to Spanish origin , nothing will sat- isfy ¬ the American people except war. " Ileprcsentatlve Cousins of Iowa , a member of the foreign attain ) committee , declared that If the Maine has been torpedoed by out- ride ¬ agency , that Investigation was bound to develop that fact. "The fragment !) could not bo destroyed , " said he. "I understand that no high explosive is allowed to enter tno harbor of Havana , except that Intended for the Spanish authorities , an that If It developed that a torpedo was used Spain will have to account for It. " General Joseph Wheeler , the ex-confeder ¬ ate cavalry commander , now a member of the house from Alabama , sent the following measago to the president this afternoon : To the Honorable , the President : In case of any trouble with Spain , remember that my tender of services U on Illc at the Wur- lUpartmcnt. . JOSEPH WHISEbKU- .Hcprcsenattlve . Hllborn of California , who Is a member of the naval committee , said : "It la Improbable that the explosion occurred from within. The magazine may have ex- ploded ¬ , but If that was so , It was probably the result of the flrflt explosion on the out ¬ side. There wau nothing In the magazine to cause an oxplcj'.cn. ' Thcro was nothing but brown powder , of which there waa 50,000 pounds , which burns , but will not explode except under conditions not present licra- .It . Is Incapable of .belief that the powder ex- ploded. ¬ . The powder la In metal cases. If- a man got In the magazine he would have to tear open the esses to act the powder off , for which purpose he would have to build a fire.

General Cop plnger expects that a full report ot the nffalt and a satisfactory report , will bp made b- nlRht. . Ho sa'ys that In his memory n credit- able war vessel could bo built for 100.000 but that that aunt would hardly pay for on gun on n modern man-of-war , and that Hi loss of such nn expensive and wondrousl constructed vessel was A loss that our nav could HI afford to endure. General Copplnger mentioned the mlsfor tune of the English man-of-war , Victorious In going aground In the Suez canal , and re- marked that It Is often the case that mn- notwar meet misfortunes simultaneously- ..VVli . .

Commodore J. 12 Montgomery , once of the United States navy a commanding otlleer ot a confederate fice during the civil war and the man who ralsei the frigate , afterwards the ram Morrlmsc was very emphatic today In declaring thi sinking of the battleship Malnu In 1 In van ; harbor was the result of tnachcry , and ai act without parallel In the world's history In his opinion war must Inevitably follow- ."When . the divers go down and examlni the hull ot the vessel , " o.ild Commodon Montgomery , "It will be found that It wai- etovo In ty a torpedo , exploded under tin bow with diabolical Intent. To bo sure , ni accident may occur on shipboard a maga- zlne or a boiler may explode. But conslde all the circumstances and you will not cuter tain the theory of accident.

This Is his theory of how tin Maine was wrecked.- WASHINGTON . , Feb. 1C. At this inomen the naval olllcers cannot agree on any thcor ; to account for the destruction of the Maine Perhaps a majority are Inclined to the belle that the explosion wns purely accidental another considerable number foci that a tor- pedo was exploded under the vessel , and t third theory Is that some Infernal niachlm was smuggled aboard the hlp and set tiff In the present lack of knowledge , It Is no thought to be possible to say to which theorj the balance of probability Inclines. An ex- amlnation by a diver of the hull of the Maim would demonstrate Instantly whether or no- a torppdo had been used , for iu caseIt hac the plates of the hull would surely be driver In. On the other hand , protruding plate ; would be an evidence that the explosion wiu- puicly Internal.- INDIAN.U'OLIS . , Ind. , Feb. 1C. Hear Ad- miral George Brown , who was the highest rlllce ; ' In the navy till hlo retirement lisl : year , was informed of the naval casually ii Havana harbor. The- admiral was exceed'- InRly surprised to hear of the destruction ol the Maine , and from the meager news was loath to venture any opinion. " 1 can offei nothing but vague conjecture as to the prob- able cause of the destruction of the Maine -although It would aeom to me at this tlrm that when nn Investigation is nlade It wll- bo found that nn explosion occurred on tin vessel. " The admiral was aoked If It was possible that a torpedo lylne In the harbor couK have hcen accidentally exploded under the ship. Ho illil not think this could have bee : possible. "If a torpedo caused the nxploalor- It must have been sent from shore , for tor- pedoes are not lying around loose In Havana 1'arbor , where hundreds of ships are In am out."I am sure no offlclal had anything to dc with it If n torpedo was responsible. Oh no. " naid he , "there could have been no ex- plosion of a torpedo by the dragging of the Maine's anchor or anything of that sort. Nor are there any submerged mines In the harbor. I don't recall any similar affair ol this kind In the history of the United States navy , either In tlmo of peace or In time ol- war. . " BOSTON , Fob' 1C. Rear Admiral George Bclkuap , U. S. N , retire. ! , salil today that ! 'e was Inclined to think the Maine was blown up by a tcrpodo.- "I . do not see. " he said , "how an explosion cf the forward magazine could have oc- curred. . The koj.s of the magazine are al- ways kojit. In the custody 'of the captain. Ail the ammunition Is carefully cafcd mcatly in the form of projectiles ! , nnd their explosion by themselves Is next to impos- sible. .

riHIUlK. S. D. , Fob. 16. (Special. ') In-

thb present Insurance- row there Is ot coursea great deal of gossip , more or less peri-liicit

-

and to the point. In this line mightIJR clanfied a clash In which Public ExaminerTaylor took a part , when he- was asked to-

CM lal i the difference In the action's of thegovrriior , In'suing the republican state of-

ficial¬

} for the whole sum collected by Ander-son

¬

for examination of Insurance companies ,

claiming that the whole amount , expense ac-

count¬

Included , was the property of the state.Then , after charging Examiner McLaren withthe same thing , demanding that ho refundthe excess charges to the companies , nndkeep only that which ho was allowed by-

law. . Further , -why criminal prosecution waabegun against the republicans and the onlyattempt of punishment of populists was at-

tempted¬

removal from odlco. Ills replies tothese iuesllons| wcro that "we are notthrough with KIpp and McLaren yet , " andthat It would be an easy matter for thestate to return excess charges to the Insur-

O

-anco companies to which they belonged , Ifthey could secure the excess by suit In thename of the state. From his first reply Itwould bo Inferred that the governor Intendsfurther criminal prosecutions In the Insur-ance

¬

department.' Another Is abatement from Examiner Me-

Ltfron-

, that In the case ot the 'Equitable- LifeInsurance company of lcs Molncs , for theexamination of which the governor Iu hisletter scores the department for examininga company which everyone know was soundwithout examination , that , one of the securi-ties

¬

scheduled as dmong the assets of thecompany wns n real estate mortgage ot$10,000 given by Lee & 1'rentls on lands InCloy and Union counties.

Another Is the assurance of CommissionerKIpp that ho hnn In his possession a letterfrom the governor demanding the employ-ment

¬

In the Insurance office of Representat-ives

¬

King , regardless ot the constitutionalprovisions which prevent n member of thelegislature from oecurlng any benefit from an-olllcu which he holpwl to create.

Yet another In that T. II. Ayres , who hasbeen appointed hy the governor to succeedKIpp , came to the Insurance department ushort time before the present scrap , and de-mands

¬

half the Insurance statements of theflrat circuit for his paper , the Plain Talk ,

nnd .stated that ho would publish them In aspecial edition , so the other papers ot theclicult would not catch on and raise a rowabout It , and that would give the necessaryfunds for his new building next spring. Ofcourse ho would not hold up nn Insurancecompany for examination fees , but how aboutthci "pop" brethren of the press.-

On.

.tho part of the governor1 !* oIMco thereIs very little said about the matt r furtherthan that the laws of the Insurance depart-ment

¬

have been violated , In the fact thatthe examiner charged excessive fees , makingcharges for a greater number of days thanarc shown by the companies to have beenput In nt the work , and charging $10 perday and expenses In all non-assessment com-Iianle

-, when but expensea , 'not to exceed

S10 per day are allowed by the statute., Iloth sttlea claim to be confident of win-illng

ORGANIZATION OF COLONISTS.The organization which proposes to oc-

cupy¬

the vromlsed land la to bo known aothe Croatian Colonization society ot America.The committee In charge of the movementmade a trip to the grounds last week amVspent several days looking over the valley.Last Thursday the committee met , and byunanimous vote selected the valley ot theShenandoah as the home ot the colony , to begathered from different states of the union.The election of olllcera for the society re-

sulted¬

as follows :

"Wo have men In our committee who cansend 300 families this nprlng , others whopledge themselves to ocnd 200 families , andaltogether It Is wholly possible to land 1,000families In southwestern Colorado within thenext three months , If we sd desire. We ac-cept

¬

no member who decs not have at least$300 , and we expect that families will be-selfsupporting bcforo the end of the flrst-year. . Our plan Is to raise vogetabales formarket In the mining camps and in the-larger towns of the state and at the nametime we .will be making progress towardgrape growing , with the object of onanufac-turing wine on a large scale. ''Within tecidays a dozen plows will be turning over thesoil In the valley and we have already madeapplication for a school and n postofllce.There are three schools In the region , butthe houses are all too far from the first set-

tlement¬

which wo propose to build-."Our

WASHINGTON'.

, Feb. 1C. The greatestInterest prevailed among senators amirepresentatives aa to the extent of theMaine disaster , and many ot them hur-ried

¬

to the Navy nnd State departmentsto learn If there were any further details.With only the first reports before them ,

and n recognition of the gravity of cnyutterances , there wns a hesitancy to expressopinions at this time. The Immense gravityof the situation In case later advices shouldshow that the disaster was not purely acci-dental

¬

, was admitted by all public men.Conservative public men !n the face of theappalling catastrophe , the meager Informa-tion

¬

at hand and Its possible consequences ,

therefore declined to express any opinion atthis time.

Chairmen Hitt of the foreign affairs com ¬

mittee. Chairman Dlngley of the ways andmeans committee , and members of the navalcommittee of thp liouso , all said they pre-ferred

¬

to await fuller IB formation before ex-

pressing¬

themselves. . Mr. Hitt said It wouldbe well for the public to follow the CUEgiven by Captain Slgsbee and suspend Judg-ment

¬

until the cauo of the disaster wasascertained. , . .

Senator Platt of Connecticut expressed theopinion that the exjilqslcn would be foundto bo the result of aiiaccldent from withinand ho doubted that any one could haveplanned and carried out a plot to bringabout an explosion cpj the ship-

.KxSenator.

Hutlerr'of.South Caroliifa , whowaa a member of the cpmmlttee en foreignrelations In the senate , during his service ,

said that t was uecliledly strange thatAmerican vessels have visited every port Inthe world and no aceidejj befallen them , butas BOOH as a vessel Visited Havana thisgreat disaster should emir. General Butlerwas of the oplnloiv tnat some bold manhad gene aboard thp , Maine and , placed a-

gronadft with it'wouldexplode the magazine. ; It was probable , hethought , that many people had been per-mitted

¬

to visit the war ship and that some-one of the visitors had carried a grenadeaboard.

Senator Falrbnnk says : "The reports areso meager that It Is impossible to detorm'Licthe cause of tlio explosion cr locate the re-

sponsibility¬

of any one at fault. A thoroughInvestigation doubtless will bo instituted bythe proper authorities. It Is a man de-plorable

¬

accident , and one which will awakenthe most general svmpathy. "

Senator Warren of Wyoming said : "If Itshould develop that the Spanish had any-thing

¬

to do with the occurrence both theUnited States navy and the army ought to-

be summoned to take the matter up In earn ¬

est. If it should prave' to be an accident , itshould bo carefully Investigated , for It Ishigh time that such accidents were broughtto a cloje. It has apparently como to betrue that our naval vessels cannot makeany move , cannot go up a stream or downa stream , or out to sea , without groundingor having some other accident befall them ,

I hope , therefore , that no time will bo louin determining the cause and placing theresponsibility for the- occurrence , whetherdue to the hand of a foreigner or a memberof our own forces. "

Senator I'asco : "It Is a deplorable oc-

currence¬

, but It is Impossible to say whetheranyone can bo held responsible or blame ¬

worthy. Certainly a most rigid investigationshould bo made Into the accident by theNavy department , and If It should subse-quently

¬

appear that legislative action Is nec-cesary

-, congress should take the matter hi-

hand. . For the present , however. It Is fall-to

-

presume that the president and Navydepartment will take the proper steps Inthe matter. "

A very prominent maval olllccr , who did notwish his cm mo used because of the meager-nciss

-of present Information as to dc-tal.'s ,

expressed the Informal opinion that the acci-dent

¬

occurred from spontaneous combustionIn the coal bunkers , the heat of which ex-

ploded¬

the powder In the supplementarymagazines adjoining.

Still another prominent officer wao veryconfident that the forward magazine ot theMa'no could not have exploded. "Had theinagaKlne e-xploJcd , " said ho , "tho ehlpwould have been blown to Hinders. "

The news of, the disaster created a pro-

found¬

Impression at the capital. Senatorsand members of the house , as a rule , ex-

pressed¬

the opinion for publication that thecatastrophe was the result of accident andnot of design , but thcro wcro eoma opmlcns ,

generally expressed under the breath , withthe admonition not to publish , to the effectthat the affair looked very mysterious aciddoubtful. As n rwult senators expremedthe opinion that tbo department would andshould make a thorough Investigation andadded that for the pmtnt It would be un-necessary

¬

for congrcva to take the matter up ,

Senator Hale , chairman of the committeean naval affairs and a-juiember of the com-

mittee¬

on appropriation ? , said that ho hadjust como from an Uviqrylou' with the secre-tary

¬

of the navy and ftiat he felt confidentthat the Navy department would institutea thorough investigation Into the disaster ,"Thcro Is no occaajorii" said the senator ,

"for congress to taketho matter up. Surelysomething should bnjpfj to the departmentand this Is one of yia.hlngs( which In myopinion should be so feft. It U , of course ,

Impossible from the , received tosay how ihe accident qccurred , but I feelconfident that the factj when developed willshow that It was a 'accident. The Mainewas , of course , for action In caseaction should bo nectary and there may-be vulnerable points , exposed , A battleshipIs little lesd than a v cano under the mostfavorable circumstances , nnd when legislat-ing

¬

for the Increase of the navy I alwaysfeel that a war vessel may prove to be asdangerous to those on board as to those withwhom It mlgljt engage In hostile conflict.FOP this reason I am sure tlio affair In Ha-vana

¬

harbor will pro-,0 as a genuine nen-

satlon-

In naval circles atI deem any po-

litical¬

aspect of It may be , "The senator expreise-,1 the opinion that

congress would take steps to prevent the do-cream) of the navy , but would not undertaketo say that there would bo Immediate effortsto replace the Maine , IIo said that what-ever

¬

could have caused the catastrophe howas uure that no friend of Spain could havebcon guilty of such conduct for the reaeiathat If there had been no higher motive theact would have been a very foolish and foo-lhardy

¬

one. He said tile Maine had cost , ac-cording

¬

to his recollection , between $3,090-000

, -and 4000000.

Senator Clay of Georgia : "The presump-tion

¬

la that the Navy department will givecareful and thorough attention to the mat ¬

ter , <uiV( It will mnkc such report as It maydeem necessary. If then It becomes neces-sary

¬

for congress to net I am sure there willbo no hesitation In dealing with the matter.There Is no proof that the Spanish are Inany way responsible for the eerlous calamity ,and we should bo slow to make chargeswithout proof to substantiate. I thereforecontent myself with saying that Investiga-tion

¬

Is alt that Is needed for the present andthat this Investigation should bo rigid , let-ting

¬

the blame rest where It may. "Two members of the cabinet who spent

eamo tlmo with the president today statethat everything so Mr received Indicates thatthe less ot the Maine was due to accident.Captain 6lgsbco In Ills telegrams from Ha-vana

¬

states that ho Is not prepared to ox-

room ot the senate committee on-postofllccs and post roads and olcourse were talking about the nc-cldont.

-

. Senator Chandler eald that no onecould tell now how the accident occurrc1.-It

might have been a torpedo under the bowsot the ship , or It might have been an acci-dent

at 10 o'clock at night , " put InSenator Mason-

."Oh.

, they might have been , " continuedSenator Chandler. "If the explosion wasfrom within It was : r.o doubt an accident ; Iffrom without then no doubt It was by de-sign.

¬

. "Senator Carter said It was a most serious

and awful disaster. Ho expressed the opln-lonlon

-that no amount of Investigation would

clear up the mystery of how It occurred ,

The explosion would leave no trace of whattook place bcforo and the burning of the shipwould obliterate all possibility of learningmuch of what took place.

The Maine Incident formed the principaltopic ot consideration by the senate com-

mittee¬

on foreign relations at Its meeting to-

day.¬

. The affair was not before the com-

mittee¬

, but It was nevertheless allowed todisplace almost all other business. Theopinion generally expressed by members ofthe committee In this Informal conferencewas that the occurrence W <M of very seriousImport and that It might result In gravecomplications unless Spain can make It veryplain that no Spaniard was In any way ro-

oponslble-

for It. A prominent member of thecommittee said after the close of the meet-Ing

-

that Spain would bo expected to makean explanation that would entirely clear Ui;the mystery and ( tiat If It did not this coun-try

¬

would have a right to demand such ex-

planation.¬

. Most or the members of the com-mittee

¬

refused after the conference to ex-

press¬

any opinion concerning the occurrence-."It

.

Is too serious to tall ; about at present. "said Senator Lodge , while Senator Culloni-said - "I can't-see how the explosion couldhave been the result of an accident and I

think the tlmo Is rapidly approaching whenthte country must do nomethlng. " Clarkwould only say : "It Is singular that ntich ac-

cidents¬

tinppen at such opportune times. "Senator Morgan of Alabama , a member of

the committee on foreign affairs , said : "Inthe absence of definite information ns to thecauses and results of the Maine catastrophe ,I would not venture an opinion uiion It-

.If It was an accident , as the first dispatchesseem 'to indicate. It was most deplorable ;

If It was due to treachery , as some are in-

cllne-

< l to believe , it was most heinous nnd nopenalty would be too severe for those rc-

sponsihle-

for It. ''But whether the calamitywas due to accident or treachery , I shouldlike to see Introduced In congressa joint resolution providing for theimmediate construction of two bat-tleships

¬

equal In size nnd equipment to theMaine , and ccstlng not a dollar less thanthe Ill-fated Maine cost. ''Action of that kindby us would indicate to the world that when-ever

¬

cr whrrover one of our ton'aclcs' wascut off two would at once grow In. Its place.

Senator Perkins of California , who hasbeen a navigator all his life and knowsthoroughly every detail In the constructionand handling of great ships , said ;

"I cannot conceive that such an explosionas that which Is reported to have wreckedthe Maine could have resulted from an acci-dent.

¬

. The chances , it seems to me , are 999-

In 1,000 that the calamity did not resultfrom accident. It has been suggested thatthe explosion might have occurred whileammunition was being handled , but thatIs scarcely credible as ammunition on a war-ship lying at anchor -is not handled at 10-

o'clock at night. Then , too , the ammuni-tion

¬

on a war ship is ''fixed ammunition ,

which Is not In contact with anything at-alllikely to produce an explosion. Every elec-tric

¬

wire and every spark of fireon boardthe ship Is far distant from the magazinesand there Is no possibility of danger bythese means being communicated to the am-munition.

¬

. The discipline of both officers andmen on the Maine as well as on every othervessel , Is such that the explosion could nethave been caused by any action of any oneof them-

."Tho.

magazines of the Maine and otherships of Its class , and the mechanism vhlchoperates them , are constructed wltn all thenicety ot a watch. By the simple pngpu'o-of an electric button any magazine on hoardthe vessel could bo instantly submerged andno fire could gain such headway aT to 011-danger any of the magazines without dis-covery.

¬

.

"I am firmly of the belief that tlio horrorIn Havana harbor last night was not due to-

accident. . I can scarcely conceive eitherthat 11 was duo to the treachery of Spanisholliclals or was brought about 'Iiroujh t'rirc-ognizance.

'. However , the situation In Ha-

vana¬

Is so critical , and the Spanish feelao keenly what appears to many of thornan affront that the Maine should have beenIn the harbor , that It sesms not unlikelythe catastrophe was duo to the action ofSpanish sympathizers. That It was not anaccident I fuel assured , and that It was dueto treachery I am convinced. "

Senator Mil.'n of the committee on foreignrelations expressed the opinion that the oc-currence

¬

was the work of a torpedo.Senator Gorman of Maryland : "It Is a

most appalling disaster , but no one attemptsat this distance and bcforo any more factsare given to place the responsibility. "

Senator Morrlll : "In my opinion tlio oc-currence

¬

is the result of an accident. Ihave no Idea that any Spaniard had any-thing

¬

whatever to do with It. "Ileprescntatlvo Mercer of Noljcaska Mid

this afternoon : "If the death of 25:1: Amer-ican

¬

tailors can , upon Investigation , butraced to Spanish origin , nothing will sat-isfy

¬

the American people except war. "Ileprcsentatlve Cousins of Iowa , a member

of the foreign attain ) committee , declaredthat If the Maine has been torpedoed by out-ride

¬

agency , that Investigation was boundto develop that fact. "The fragment !) couldnot bo destroyed , " said he. "I understandthat no high explosive is allowed to entertno harbor of Havana , except that Intendedfor the Spanish authorities , an that If Itdeveloped that a torpedo was used Spain willhave to account for It. "

General Joseph Wheeler , the ex-confeder ¬

ate cavalry commander , now a member ofthe house from Alabama , sent the followingmeasago to the president this afternoon :

To the Honorable , the President : In caseof any trouble with Spain , remember thatmy tender of services U on Illc at the Wur-lUpartmcnt. . JOSEPH WHISEbKU-

.Hcprcsenattlve.

Hllborn of California , whoIs a member of the naval committee , said :

"It la Improbable that the explosion occurredfrom within. The magazine may have ex-

ploded¬

, but If that was so , It was probablythe result of the flrflt explosion on the out ¬

side. There wau nothing In the magazine tocause an oxplcj'.cn.' Thcro was nothing butbrown powder , of which there waa 50,000pounds , which burns , but will not explodeexcept under conditions not present licra-.It

.

Is Incapable of .belief that the powder ex-

ploded.¬

. The powder la In metal cases. If-

a man got In the magazine he would have totear open the esses to act the powder off ,

for which purpose he would have to builda fire. "

etovo In ty a torpedo , exploded under tinbow with diabolical Intent. To bo sure , niaccident may occur on shipboard a maga-zlne or a boiler may explode. But consldeall the circumstances and you will not cutertain the theory of accident. In the hlstor ;

Commodore Montgomery Is familiar willHavana harbor. It would bo comparative : ]

easy , he says , with small boats or other'wise , to ect a torpedo to destroy the Amcrlcan vceciol. This Is his theory of how tinMaine was wrecked.-

WASHINGTON.

, Feb. 1C. At this inomenthe naval olllcers cannot agree on any thcor ;

to account for the destruction of the MainePerhaps a majority are Inclined to the bellethat the explosion wns purely accidentalanother considerable number foci that a tor-pedo was exploded under the vessel , and tthird theory Is that some Infernal niachlmwas smuggled aboard the hlp and set tiffIn the present lack of knowledge , It Is nothought to be possible to say to which theorjthe balance of probability Inclines. An ex-

amlnation by a diver of the hull of the Maimwould demonstrate Instantly whether or no-

a torppdo had been used , for iu caseIt hacthe plates of the hull would surely be driverIn. On the other hand , protruding plate ;

would be an evidence that the explosion wiu-puicly Internal.-

INDIAN.U'OLIS.

, Ind. , Feb. 1C. Hear Ad-

miral George Brown , who was the highestrlllce ;' In the navy till hlo retirement lisl:

year , was informed of the naval casually iiHavana harbor. The- admiral was exceed'-InRly surprised to hear of the destruction olthe Maine , and from the meager news wasloath to venture any opinion. " 1 can offeinothing but vague conjecture as to the prob-able cause of the destruction of the Maine-although It would aeom to me at this tlrmthat when nn Investigation is nlade It wll-bo found that nn explosion occurred on tinvessel. "

The admiral was aoked If It was possiblethat a torpedo lylne In the harbor couKhave hcen accidentally exploded under theship. Ho illil not think this could have bee :possible. "If a torpedo caused the nxploalor-It must have been sent from shore , for tor-pedoes are not lying around loose In Havana1'arbor , where hundreds of ships are In amout."I am sure no offlclal had anything to dcwith it If n torpedo was responsible. Ohno. " naid he , "there could have been no ex-plosion of a torpedo by the dragging of theMaine's anchor or anything of that sort.Nor are there any submerged mines In theharbor. I don't recall any similar affair olthis kind In the history of the United Statesnavy , either In tlmo of peace or In time ol-

war. . "BOSTON , Fob' 1C. Rear Admiral George

Bclkuap , U. S. N , retire. ! , salil today that! 'e was Inclined to think the Maine wasblown up by a tcrpodo.-

"I.

do not see. " he said , "how an explosioncf the forward magazine could have oc-

curred. . The koj.s of the magazine are al-

ways kojit. In the custody 'of the captain.Ail the ammunition Is carefully cafcdmcatly in the form of projectiles ! , nnd theirexplosion by themselves Is next to impos-sible. . If , as the dUtulclipti state , the wholebow of the ship was ''blown off , It Is apparentthat the explosion could not have beencaused by the boilers or tbo coal gettinghcatC'J. I do net ace hew It could lavn: oc-

¬

is taken to prevent the collectionof explosive gases In the paint room , -ind-If such an explosion occurred It wouH havebeen more likely to have ojuscj a fire thandes'rny the ship. "

Hear Admiral Belknap said It was n veryKlgnlfipint thing 'that the Maine should havebeen blown up In that particular harborat this particular time. In the .abRsnce olInformation as to the 'cause of the oxplo-
