The permanent sec retary of the London Athletic Club was hhown. a dispatt-h. detailing the reply of Chairman Williams, of the athletic com mittee of the Ne"w York Athletic Club, to the Interview with Holman. honorary sec retary of the London Athletic Club. Mr. Parker said: "I cannot at present speak officially, but I am sure that, of the dates given, September 12 and September 21, the com mittee would prefer September 12. for the university members of the team are obliged to go back to their studies at the opening of the term in October. Twelve letters which I have received today have confirmed our previous belief that the meeting in Xlay would be impossible. But something has to give way in order to crrange for the international meeting, and the London Athletic Club's autumn meeting. September 2S. therefore, will probably be abandoned. The London Ath letic Club will end a team from within the limits of Its own membership, and will make the best light possible. The greatest interest is taken in the match anions members of the club, and the opin ion is that too Ion;: a period has elapsed without an International.contest." A Skating; Record Broken. MINNEAPOLIS. Jan. 13. John S. John son broke the world's mile standing-start record in his race with Ostlund. the Nor wegian today, making a mile in 2:13 flat. Ostlund came In 96 feet behind.

The of ficers of the mail steamer Virginia Lake, which arrived here today, report intense destitution along the northern coast of Newfoundland. The steamer recently carried 50$ barrels of flour to the north, for distribution among the needy families, but as this amount Is totally inadequate to meet the widespread starvation exist ing there, the trovernment will dispatch her off again tomorrow with another sup ply, this being the last opportunity for sending relief to the inhabitants of those parts until next April. From now until that time they will have to support them selves as best they can. At today's serv ices in all the churches many references 'were made by the preachers to the neces sity of their parishioners immediately donating money, clothing or food for the relief of their impoverished brethren. ?nd attention was called to the fact that the resources of the local committees of re lief will be exhausted this week, unions more generosity is shown. m Sonth Dakota's Defaulting Trennnrer CHICAGO.

Two Feet More ot Water Than Last Year, and the Higrbest in Scarly Thirty Yeara. CHEHALIS. Wash., Jan. 13. Owin? to heavy rains and melting snow the Che halls and Newaukum rivers are now all over the bottoms in this vicinity. The railroad tracks of the main line and South Bend branch are several inches under water. The lower part of the town is submerged and many families have been compelled to move. There is two feet more of water than last year, and the water is high'er than since 1SS7. Notwith standing this, little damage has been done so far. The water is going down. The Storm in Clackamas. OREGON CITY, Jan. 13.-Last night's wind storm moved the house of XIr. Phil lips, at Gladstone, from its foundation, and only a convenient wood pile prevented its upsetting. The family still occupies the house, which is a rather frail struc ture. A largre rock was detached from the bluff in the southern part of town as the local train was goings up this morn in, and it fell so near the track that the steps were taken from a car in the train. Telegraph and telephone wires were pros trated by the storm, but the telegraph lines were soon restored to working order. Several electric lights were disabled. The tall flagpole at Cataract hosehouse was blown down. The recent rains have brought the river up again, and it is 23 feet above low-water mark below the falls tonight. Above the falls today at noon, the water marked 11.3 feet, and the locks had to be closed to navigation. The river is expected to continue to rise to morrow. Already there is some trouble at the electric power-house on account of the high water. A lot of logs escaped from the Gladstone mill boom last night. Northern Pacific Washout Repaired. TACOMA, Jan. 13. The washout at Olequa was repaired today, leaving the Northern Pacific's main line entirely open. The wires are down on the branches to South Bend and Ocosta and the tracks are partly covered by water. They were not operated today. High tide covers the track between South Ab erdeen and Ocosta. Today's falling tem perature has checked the further rising of streams and swamps. Drovrncd in the Skokomlsh. TACOMA. Jan. 13.

Or., Jan. 13.-John Reins, a farm-hand from Sherman county and a stranger in town, shot and mortally wounded himself last evening, about C o'clock. Some residents of the east end of the city were startled by the sound of the pistol report and rushing out, they found Reins lying in" the snow with a revolver in his hand. The ball had en tered his right groin and, ranging up ward, lodged against the spine. His first statement to those who found him, was that he had done the deed purposely, but later on, -when carried across the street to Sklbbe's, he told the doctor the shoot ing was accidental. He was very drunk at the time, and had been so all day, which probably accounts for the conflict ing statements. The attending physician pronounced his recovery Impossible. It Is supposed that Reins slipped on the snow, causing the weapon to discharge. The in jured man has no relatives in this vicin ity. His parents live In. Hamburg-, Ger many. The warm weather has caused the ice in the river to move, and the Columbia is now free at this point. The snow is melting rapidly and will soon be gone. As the ground was frozen before the snow came, a good deal ot moisture runs off the surface, and does not sink into, the soli as much as the farmers desire. Tonight the weather is turning cooler. THE DALLES PROGRESSIVE. First Steps Taken Towards Estab lishing a Scouring Mill. THE DALLES. Jan. 13. Quite a num ber of representative citizens met in the courthouse last evening to consider the proposition of starting a scouring mill here. The Hon. Robert XIays was chosen to preside, and called on Jame3 Shaw, of Oregon City, to state the terms upon which he would start the enterprise. His proposal was that the citizens should do nate a site and building, and furnish a fund of $3d,O09 as capital. This indebted ness. XIr. Shaw would assume and pledge as security the mill with its machinery, besides other property. As the contribu tors would have a Hen on the plant, the chance for loss would be small. The chairman appointed a committee to canvas the town, and see if the amount required can be raised. D. XI. French. Robert Mays, M. A Xloody, Emil Schanno, M. T. Nolan. A. XI. Kelsey and Phil Brogan comprise the committee. An active effort will be made at once to raise the sub sidy. As the center of a great wool-growing country.

GREEN DOES IT AGAIN. His Second. Escape From the Jail in Oregon City. OREGON CITY, Jan. 13. Xlort Green, held to the grand Jury for passing a"$20 Confederate note, escaped from the jail here this afternoon, soon after 5 o'clock, by tearing a hole in the ceiling of the jail and the floor of the recprder's office. Immediately above- the cage in which the prisoners are confined at night. This is the third jail delivery by this route. Green himself did the same trick when con fined here last summer, and the county paid $50 reward and considerable other ex pense to have the prisoner returned from The Dalles, where he was finally cap tured. The grand jury failed to indict him, and turned him loose, but in a few days he was bade in jail under a new charge. After Green had gone, another prisoner went through the same hole with much difficulty, and gave the alarm. . The janitor of the courthouse immediately took means to prevent the escape of the only prlsoner left. Green is a very slippery crook, and is likely to give the peace of ficers much trouble before he is landed in the penitentiary. At a meeting of the members of tne Baptist church today It was unanimously voted to call Rev. XL L. Rugg, of Salem, to the vacant pastorate here. Professor P.

The carload of supplies sent last week has been already exhausted." m Defaulting Connty Treasurer. CUSTER. S. D., Jan. 13. Ben Tunley. retiring county treasurer, is a defaulter to the amount of $3200. He confessed yes terday to 'the defalcation to the county commissioners. His bondsmen are re sponsible. . TBEY'IMTERGMST SAX FRANCISCANS AGAIN SAT EVER.YTHISGBAD OF HIM. r' :, The Legislature Is Asked to Investi gate His Appointment and Devise Menus for' His Removal. SAN FRANCISCO,. Jan. 13. Two mon ster mass meetings were held in thls,clty thls afternoon to protest against the ap pointment of M. A. Gunst as police com missioner; to denounce local political cor ruption, and to protest against District Attorney Knight for not causing the ar rest of C. P. Huntington. The first two subjects came In for the greater attention from the various speakers. Dr. Elbert Dllle addressed the big audience that crowded Odd Fellows hall to the doors, filling gallery and floor, until there was not a seat left. Held at the instance of the law and order league, it was a sig nificant and enthusiastic demonstration, marked by flery speeches and followed to the close by the hearty accord of a gath ering wholly in earnest. Dr. Dllle com pared the government of a republic to a pyramid, saying: "Only two things can reach the top the eagle and the lizard and in city affairs it is the reptile that gets there, leaving his slimy trail behind. All the gamblers and all the vicious are saying: 'We've found our Moses. We've got San Fran cisco, and a fence around it, and our Xloses to lead us into it." Dr. C. O. Brown's message to ex-Governor Markham was read. It was: "With boss rule, thug rule, corruption rule and the indifference of good citizens, this has become a government of the worst, by the -worst, and for the worst. You have done this to please the liquor men and the gamblers. They have put their brand on "you, and you are their man. The mark you have put on yourself is indelible. There is an immortality of infamy. From this hour Governor Xlark ham stands convicted as a man who seeks the approval of the dregs of society. He has thrown a mantle of shame over the closing hours of a wrecked administra tion." One leading sentiment ran through all the speeches: "We want a new char ter."' When Dr. Brown was called to the platform, he said: "Good will come of the Gunst appoint ment. Out of it will come a new charter, and we will see to It that the whole mis erable police commission is wiped out of existence. We do not want a police commission In fraternity with the gam blers, saloons and brothels. No man has any business on the police commission who has any connection with gambling and pool-selling. This appointment says to the gamblers: 'Boys, you can go on about your business, and I, as a police com missioner, will wink my eye on that side.' " Dr. J. C. Smith hoped the people would not go to sleep after one of those spasms of virtue which strike us about once in two years. He wanted a strong and per manent central organization that would hold in view the good government of the city. Attorney Gibson, one of the free holders, was emphatic In his statement that the apppointment of Xlose Gunst was one of the most, obnoxious that had been made. He was free to admit that Gunst has good qualities, saying: "He is good to his friends. He Is very friendly to his friends, and right here lies the vice of his appointment. That very element of standing by your friends would come into play, and the arm of the police would be paralyzed. The remedy is a new charter and the placing of the ap pointing power In an officer resident among us and Within the reach of home opinion." Gilbert Dexter.aavised the people to let; party go to the (dogskin municipal affairs, addjng: , , i "Mayor Sutro was elected by the people and if every officer was so elected we would have a good city government." Another freeholder, Dr. Jerome Ander son, did not confine himself wholly to the local situation, but inquired: "Is there any man in this audience who does not know that whoever Collls P. Huntington says shall be senator, will be senator?" Rev. Dr. XlcClesh wound up the proceed ings with an address conceived in a broad and sympathetic spirit. The chairman of the meeting was I. J. Truman. XIr. Tru man, in his opening address, remarked that "when the devil was kicked out of heaven, he was not permitted to name his successor." The audience met the allusion with a round of applause. As for Burns, he pointed out: "It is history that this man was a de faulter in the only two offices he ever held. Is it not a shame that this man should have the ear of XIarkham?" Seated on the platform were many prominent ministers and citizens. Finally resolutions were adopted favoring the adoption of a new charter; asking tha' the tenure of police commissioners be lim ited, and admitting no man to fill the position against 'whom three responsible citizens shall allege" influence of vice. An other resolution, which was adopted, peti tions the legislature to investigate the appointment of XL A Gunst, as police commissioner, and devise means for the removal and prosecution of all officers and attaches of the police department found by their official conduct and business in terest to be unfit for the positions held by them. The Allegations Not Sustained. ALBANY. N. Y., Jan. 13. The following statement has been made public from the executive chamber: "Early In December last Governor Xlor ton selected George W. Turner as an aide-de-camp on his staff, with the title of colonel. In the latter part of that month certain statements, emanating from Chicago, were published concerning Mr. Turner's communications with mem bers of the city council of that city. XIr. Turner thereupon requested the governor to withhold his commission until the proofs of the facts concerning such al legations should be formally submitted: Such proofs have been submitted and the governor has requested Colonel Turner to accept the commission, announcing that the allegations are not sustained." New York's Reformation. ALBANY. N. Y., Jan. 13. Some light will be shed on the attitude of the com mittee of 70, the Lexow committee and the republican majority toward each oth er In the legislature. It will In a meas ure be seen whether Mr. Piatt and the New York reform committee intend to cross swords, or to combine in their re form movement. The great event of the week will be the presentation to the sen ate of the report of the Lexow committee, together with the accompanying bills for the reorganization of the police force of New York city. This will be done Thurs day. After this matter is presented, Lexow will ask the adoption of his resolution to extend the power of his committee to the other city departments. Life Una No Charms for Him. ST. PAUL. Jan. 13. George Brown, about 33 years of age, of Winnipeg, took nitric acid at the Capital hotel, here, tonight, and will be dead before morning. A railroad ticket from Winnipeg to Kan sas City was found in his pockets, be sides 5160, a gold watch and diamond ring.

Jan. 13. The grave of the late Schuyler Colfax, in the city cemetery, is unmarked, save by a humble slab bearing his initials. Today was tht 10th anniversary of his' death. It is now I proposed to pay further tribute to his memory-, by the erection- of a public statue to mark his last resting place. The prop osition ha3 been advanced to raise the monument fund by public subscriptions, it being estimated that $10,000 will be re quired to erect an enduring monument. Mr. Colfax, in his lifetime, was prominent in the work of the organisation of Odd Fellows, and their generous co-operation will be asked. MATTERS OF FINANCE. Colorado Shipping Refined Silver Bullion Direct to China. DENVER, Col., Jan. 13. Colorado's re fined silver bullion is being shipped by local smelters direct to China. No exac$ details are obtainable, for the silver men decline to give any figures. But it is pos itively known that several hundred thou sand ounces have been shipped lately. The Omaha & Grant and the Globe arc the smelters engaged In the trade. It is not a new market for Colorado silver, by any means, but the fact that it is shipped di rect from Denver and not through East ern or foreign agencies shows that the business men of the West are endeavoring to secure to themselves all the profits to be made in the trade. Must Permit An Inspection. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. IS. Writs of mandate have been granted by Judge Sanderson against John F. Sheehan, sec retary and manager, and the directors of the People's Home Savings bank, this city, ordering them to allow the California Safe Deposit & Trust Company, representing the creditors to the extent of 5100,000, to inspect the stock transfer books of the bank, they having repeatedly refused to do so after many personal requests on the part of B. D. Brown, treasurer of the deposit company. It is intimated that sen sational disclosures will develop on inspec tion of the books, and the result is await ed with great curiosity. Important to Miners. TELLURIDE, Colo., Jan. 13.-Judge Gabbert yesterday rendered a decision of great Importance to the mining industry of Colorado: That operators of stamp mills must use reasonable means to pre vent the flow of tailings into streams where others would be materially injured thereby. After three-score yeavs it is first learned that the streams must not be used for such purposes. The effect of this decision Is plainly to be seen. As to what are reasonable means, the court Is silent. Both litigants excepted to the decision and the case will be appealed. The Cinim Settled Privately. OAKLAND, Cal.. Jan. 13.

Reports Sent Ont Were In No Way Exaggerated, and the Damage Already Done is Great. VANCOUVER, B. C, Jan. 13. The high est tide occurred this morning and it is expected that from now on the floods In the Fraser valley will ?.ssuage. The press representatives paid a visit to the flood ed districts at North Arm, at the mouth of the Fraser, this afternoon, and found the reports of damage had not been in the least exaggerated. At 10 o'clock this morning the water was six feet over the main road, which runs alongside a trib utary of the Fraser, and at the time of the visit the water was still three feet over the road, though steadily falling. It is impossible, to walk or drive along the greater portion of the road, and boats have been called into requisition. A num ber of small bridges' have been washed out, but the two large bridges are for tunately undamaged. Many settlers in the lowlands have deserted their houses or are living in the upper stories, for the water in many of the dwellings is three feet deep. Samuel Brighouse, a farmer who has resided in the district for the last 20 years, says he has never seen such a high tide. His house is surrounded by water and he is only able to get about by boats. He saved his cattle with difficulty. He says the water started rising Friday and each succeeding day it has been higher. The dikes were not built high enough and the water soon came over and swept along the road and fields with great force. The planks on" the roads are all floating and it will cost the municipality a large sum for repairs. At Stevenston, the water was higher today, but as the dikes have al ready burst in so many places, the flood did not do much further damage. Five miles of road there are under water, vary ing from three to four-feet deep. Several canneries are flooded and the land around there is covered with logs and debri3 washed up by the water. At the delta, the same state of affairs exists, boats be ing the only meansoJL travel. Westham island, In the. maiji channel of the Fra ser, is almost entirely1 covered and boats can cross It. At all points at the mouth of the Fraser the water is six inches to a foot higher than during the disastrous floods last spring. The weather is now growing colder. The snow will not melt so fast now, and as the high tides are past, it is thought theworst is over. Luck ily the farmers removed their cattle and stock in time, but they will nevertheless suffer considerable loss from fencing washed away and damage done to hay, besides injury to dwellings. The mu nicipalities will be the heaviest sufferers, on account of the damage done to dikes, roads and bridges. ENGLAND GALE-SWEPT. Much Damage Done Both on Land and at Sen. LONDON, Jan. 13. A terrific gale, ac companied by a heavy snowfall prevailed throughout the country Saturday night. The cold was intense. Snow drifts in some places were 12 feet deep. The mail carts were stopped. The drivers who at tempted to make their trips suffered ter ribly. The highways are blocked, and railway traffic is delayed. The telegraph lines are down in all directions. All the cross-channel steamers were hours late. The Cunard line steamer Lucania, from Liverpool yesterday, for New York, ar rived at Queenstown 12 hours late. Sev eral vessels are ashore on the coast of Wales. The bark Brilliant, from Cuba for Bremen, was driven ashore in Pool's bay, Dorchestershire. Her crew was res cued by a lifeboat. Some of them were injured. The vessel will probably be a total wreck. It is said two ships foundered on the Humber, and that their crews were drowned. The railway com panies' ferry Erie, opposite Hull, caught fire during the storm and was destroyed. A bark was wrecked off Sand Gate, Kent, and the rescue of her crew was accom panied by exciting scenes. The lifeboat men attempted to launch their boat, but the craft stuck in a snowbank, and It was found impossible to get ber into the water. At this juncture a coast guards man divested himself of his heavy cloth ing, and, carrying a lifeline, sprang into the boiling surf. Swimming with power ful strokes, he, after a severe struggle, reached the wreck. Then a heavier line was drawn aboard, and soon the crew and their gallant rescuer were safe on shore. Vessels are putting into the road steads for shelter. Several skating acci dents and a number of deaths from ex posure are reported. The snowfall con tinues. LONDON, Jan. 13.
