".. ' Newport News,' "Va",' January 4 . Eight survivors ' of the steamer Julia Luckenhach, rammed and sunk in Chesapeake. Bay early yesterday by the British tramp Indrakuala, arrived here today and told how 22 of their numJber had gone j down without 'a chance for life. The. fortunate eight, after a six-hour battle with a terrific gale, were taken from the rigging" of their sunken ship by the Danish steam er Pennsylvania and brought here. Th Luc&enbach, - from Port Tampa to Baltimore, was about to anchor off the Tangier Gas Buoy, at the mouth of the Potomac early yesterday, when the Indrakuala caught her and 7 cut her practically in" two. She went down immediately and only the men on deck had a chance for life ' :Tbe Indrakuala, badly damaged and m' danger of sink ing, drew off -and beached to save herself.-. Captain Gilbert, of -the Lucken--bach, and his wife, were among the lost. " t '1 . iThe survivors had scarcely, reached the topmost parts of the". rigging of the submerged hulk when the . sweeping :.gale o jresterdaypassed, .;$verr. te'Jwy tand for sixour -they: f ouWfit ar life,- while some' of 'their number, exhaust-: ; ed, dropped oft one by dne tordeath: With- a wind blowing" at 'cyclonic ve locity and waves beating against them, the hardiest ones held fast until their clothes werporn to shreds, and they were on the verge of exhaustion. Chief - Engineer Chis KnudsOn, was one of 'those in the rigging. He endured the gale until his -.hands were bleeding from gripping the ropes. He became exhausted, Jet go and went down be fore assistance came. . . - The Danish steamer Pennsylvania, which came to their assistance, could not reach them at first because of the heavy -sea. After many unsuccessful attempts, life lines were run-to the struggling men and in two hours they were taken off one at a time. They were taken on board the Pennsylvania very much exhausted and had to be given first-aid treatment. , According to the survivors, Captain Gilbert and the .first and second offi cers were standing on the bridge when the collision occurred. ' There was no opportunity to "give alarm to those be low. Captain Gilbert made a des perate effort 'to rearch his 'wife and when last seen was swimming aft xof the sinking ship, "I don't know how - I escaped," said Chief Officer Hunt. "After the ship went down I found myself dangling in the rigging "and there I stayed Not a lifeboat was to-be had so quickly did the Luckenbach go down. I never suf fered such torture- in my life. -My clothes were torn to shreds by the high winds and the seas beat me into aV most insensibility. Too much cannot be saidvof the bravery displayed by the officers, nd crew of the L Pennsyl vania, who 'rescued, us." The Duckenbach now lies in about 52 feet of water.. Among the survivors ' are: - " . ; ' '! ".".. P. R. Hunt,' Baltimore; chief offi cer; William Brunp, . New York, sec ond officer; George .tittle,: Ncsw York, first assistant engineer; George Doyle, Philadelphia, . third assistant engineer. One seaman hurried up to tne JjUck enbach's funnel stays .'as ' she went down. Finally be reached the rig of the stack and was safe for a moment. Then as the ship lurched fier funnel broke loose and the.' seaman was lost. Descri pti on of Vesels ' New York, January 4 The steamer Julia Luckenbach was commanded by Captain A', B.

NEGOTIATIONS IT 'DEADLOCK Stiff-necked Attitude of r Belligerents ,. Is Likely to End - Conference r " Monday Dramatic i Conflict - - In Diplomacy Constantinople, January 4.-The Turkdsh Council of Ministers ,this afr ternoon telegraphed fresh instructions to Rechad Pasha, head of the Turkish delegation at the London peace con ference. The Ottoman plenipotentiary is ordered, it is declared; to reject the ultimatum of the Balkan allies. . The ultimatum of the 'Balkan allies was presented at yesterday's session of the peace "conference in London. . It practically gave Turkey until 4 o'clock Monday afternoon to agree to give up the fortress of Adrianople- and . the Aegean Iselands, and to ' renounce whatever rights she possesses over the island of Crete. , ! i . ' Will Break Up Conference London, January 4. Unless Turkey or the Balkan States can be prevailed upon to recede from their present stiff necked attitude the peace negotiations have arrived ' at an., abrupt deadlock and Monday's meeting will be the last of the conference. ' i The Turkish delegates strongly af firm that they 'have offered all they can concede. The Balkan delegates protest with equal vehemence that the Ottoman Empire must surrender to them ;what they consider to be the spoils of war. - J : The diplomatic battle line has" been drawn at Adrianople. , If Turkey should -consent to concede her ancient capital and the strongest fortress now invested-so faras impartial witnesses can Judge beyond the hope of relief all minor questions could be arranged. The Turka declare they cannot give up Adrianople under any circumstan ces;, the allies declare that they must. Yielding of Turkey on the question of Adrianople undoubtedly would pave theway for a general settlement. Dr. Daneffi head of the Bulgarian delega-, tion, declared uncompromisingly to day that unless the Sultan's envoys ac cept, without the alternation of a word, Friday's ultimatum, he and his col leagues will leave London Tuesday, and their armies will give battle at Tchatalja the moment the period fixed by the armistice expires. This constitutes one of the most dra matic conflicts in the history of diplomacy, yet this situation has been f orseen - and expected from the nrst. Only those in the innermost counsel know whether the negotiations will be finished Monday or whether they will lust begin: then. i Events have moved swiftly in the last few days. When the allies deliv ered their ultimatum yesterday; an answer to which 1 was i demanded by Monday afternoon. Rechad Pasha re plied promptly -and theatrically that it was not necessary . to wait until Mon day that he could reply on Saturday just as well. Today Rechad Pasha re quested a postponement until Monday. For this action he made two explana tions. One was that the Turks desir ed togive the allies time to consider their position; the other was that the Porte had ordered him: to await fresh instructions. The allies were inspired with satisfaction by the latter r state ment, thinking that the Porte was wavering ; on the (question of Adrian ople..;- -j -' ;. I .. "': Rechad- Pasha affirmed otherwise, saying iV After having ceded- more territory" than that which the entire allied States had before the war, Tur- ikey could not suffer the undeserved humiliation of ceding i what she had clung t more from sentiment than for territorial value. Besides, Adrianople is the Mussulman town; par. excellence, the vilayet of.wtiich it is the capital, having" a population of 1,180,000, only one-tenth of which is Bulgarian. Osman Nizami Pasha supported Re chad., asserting that the' instructions from Constantinople were inspired by public opinion And the warlike enthu siasm of the troops at Tchatalja. ' "After we declare this in the sitting of the conference on Monday," he said, 'if it breaks the negotiations as the al lies, assert it will, we will paek our be longings and go." -' ,.; .1 . .. i . Dr. Daneff, in. an interview, repeat ed '.Nizami ' Pasha's threat for the al lies, saying they,; too, would depart if their.' terms were not accepted. ' The Balkan plenipotentiaries f,l held their most ' important J council this af ternoon. " The Greek, Servian and Montenegrin delegates asked "Dr. Da neff 'to state frankly j the real condi tion of the Bulgarian army,, because if they?- were to adhere to Friday's ulti matum they i must be in a position to make deed s. follow words.' . " UDr. Daneff, in a solemn declaration, affirmed that the Bulgarian army was now in better condition than when the war began. ' Some defects which then existed Jiad been corrected; prepara tions.which before the war were made almost secretly, were now .being con ducted openly; the commissiariat 'and sanitary arrangement' and the concen - (Continued on.'Paga Two.)

Declares He Is in Favor of Submitting Canal Dispute to The. Hague SHARP DIVISION IN SENATE Leading . Members Hold Different ""Views on- Question Bacon ' Fa vors Arbitration Suther f land Opposes It. New York, Jan. 4. President Taft, referring this-afternoon-to the dispute between the ..United States and Great Britain in, the Panama canal toll regu-v laions, said he was ' in favor of sub mitting it to The Hague tribunal for arbitration. - . . The President was speaking at a luncheon In his honor at the Wjaldorf Asto"ria, given , by the International PeSc&vForum. This is his first formal declaration on the. question since Great Britain filed" its protest with the State Department. When the time comes there will be no doubt about what I will do about submitting this question to an impar tial tribunal for decision," the Presi dent said. . : I am willinsr to arhitrate with nrfiat Britain as soon as we get down to the point at issue. This is just the time when I am in favor of arbitration," President Taft continued. ."It is the time when we are afraid we might not win that tests our faith in arbitration." "Thete need not be any public doubt on that subject so far as this adminis tration is concerned," continued the President. "When there f is , a differ; ence that cannot be reconciled by in ternational negotiation and adjustment then we are entirely willing to submit to an impartial tribunal. I am hope ful that we may get it either to settle ment or to submission before this ad ministration shall cease, but it .may ait oe, necause tneso negouatrons move slowly. But I am glad to take this opportunity In- this presence to say that if the time comes, there will be no doubt about what I will do in respect to the submission of that ques tion, as far as my power goes, to an impartial" tribunal for its settlement, if that Is necessary. , The President's remarks apparently were prompted by a declaration in a speech . by Henry Clews, banker, as serting that for President Taft's ad ministration "to concede the right to arbitrate the difference would be a splendid achievement, but holding that we are in the wrong and would most likely be defeated if it should go to The Hague for decision." Referring "to the Panama canal treaty,- the President, who had said at the outset of his remarks that he rose "with mingled feelings of sorrow and pleasure," continued: v 'iMy friend, Mr. Clews, differs with me and with the administration in the construction of that treaty. That is all right .'I suppose questions before have arisen as to construction of con tracts in which good 1 honest people have been on both sides. Now that presents to me a very significant and useful example with respect to arbi tration. A good many people are say ing, 'Don't arbitrate because you are going to lose.' This is our own canal and while England is making a point of it England would not fight about it and therefore will give up when -you 1 are not likely to get an arbitration that will be satisfactory to you and your view of the construction.' "Now, that even if this view , were correct "as to probability of result which I need not admit is just when I am in favor of arbitration, s I mean I have ' not , gone about the : country urging arbitration for the purpose of using that as a platform" subject to at tract' the attention and approval of the audience." . ... - . - Mr. Taft .warmly denounced the Sen ate in connection . with the-defeat of the. proposed arbitration treaties with Great Britain and France. -' "Once in a while", -; he said,- "there comes . an opportunity that seems t to be a great step forward and that. when that opportunity is lost, when . the steps that should have been takfh are not . taken, the ' hearts of those whose hopes were high are saddened,' and this meeting brings back;, to me the earnest feeling that I had in my soul after I had visited almost every State in the Union and ' urged the confirmation- of treaties - which ( we had made with : England and France, and then lived to find them defeated in the high est legislativei,body;of the world, as some of the members of that body are in. the habitof calling it. u i v -, "The defeat was! more than a mere destruction of our hope as to .the pro gress that might' be made by those treaties because' the I vote carried, with it a proposition which if established as our constitutional law relegates, the United States to the rear rank of those nations which are ? to help the ; cause of . universal peace. For the proposi tion is that the Senate of the United States may not consent with the Presi dent of the, United States to a. treaty that shall bind the United States-to arbitrate any general class of ' ques tions that may arise in the future, but there must always be a, condition ,that the - Senate may . subsequently, when the tfacts arise, determine "whether indmore efficient. (Continued on ige juight.) w: In an Address at "Reorganization" Dinner, President Delivers Oration Over Own Corpse, Tells of Cause That Led to His Demise, and Attacks For-His Taking' Off, New York, Jan. 4-President Taft presided here , tonight at what he styl ed his own "political wake". He made the funeral oration over his political corpse, asked modest praise for the deeds that he did while he lived in the Whitei House, re6ited at length the cause that led to his "demise" and-attacked the enemies he held responsi ble for hjs taking off. The President was the only speaker at 'the Republican "re-organization dinner, . given at the Waldorf-Astoria to more than 1,000 Republicans from all over the country. He spoke for more than an hour. His defense of his administration was the legislative results it rhas produced; his reply to personal criticism was that he had been more misunderstood than blame worthy. His attacks upon his politi cal opponents confined almost exclu sively to the Progressives was not bitter, but sorrowful. In spite-of all theTnisrepresentation, the unrest, the present-day desire for change, the President said, he saw In the future a return to' the old ideas of government, the awakening of the peo ple tq an . understanding that social changes must be made slowly , and with sure steps. , He closed with an appeal to N Republicans who left the party to ! return and join hands with the millions who remained faithful. "In, the course of his speech the President made his first public refer ence to Col. Roosevelt since the close of the ; campaign, asserting that pro bably one million voters, normally Re publican cast . their ballots for Mr. Wilson 'in order; to avert the danger df Mr. Roosevelt's election.". - ,Tbe President said in part:' : " - "It is not Usual for. the deceased to give very full .expression to "his feel ings at the wake,-but I remember that in. one. of an "Irish drama" the corpse was sufficiently 'revived "to partake of the liquid refreshments and became the chief participant in the festivities.. 'A few opening remarks directed to the character of the deceased and the man ner of his taking ff may not," there fore, be inappropriate. What was the political disease' of xwhich I died? I am. hopeful that when historians con duct their post mortems, , it may be found that my demise was due to cir- cumstarfcGs over which I had no great control iand to a political cataclysm which I could hardly have "anticipated or avoided; but whether this be true or not, even friendly critics are able to point out personal reasons why it was that, though I went in, I also went out, with large majorities. It has been charged against me that I am an aristocrat, and that I have no sympathy with the common people, i. Now, I don't think it is true. I think i I am as sympathetic with. the common people, as' earnestly desirous of their happiness, as anxious to see that they have justice, as any one. r believe most profoundly that popu lar government is the best government and I am greatly concerned that it shall, continue and be successful in giving to the people at large the best measure of individual liberty on the one hand and its greatest political effi ciency in government on- the other. It may be that in my earnest desire to' make government efficient I have not always explained that I believed that to make v government .efficient is to work directly in the Interest of the common people. - ' My j administration has come and gone In a period of unrest and agita tion for something intangible which it is difficult definitely to, describe.
