The Contest at llolsc.
BOISE, Jan. 13. Friends of senatorial
candidates, Shoup and Sweet, have a new
element to fear in the contest. The pop
ulists may take a hand when the contest
comes on joint ballot. Tonight Sweet has
a majority of one of the republlcairiegls
Jators. 19 being pledged to him. The
Shoup men refuse to caucus, hoping to
pain strength by a defection of Sweet can

THAT ATHLETIC MATCH.
The UiirIIkIi re Determined, and
Will IlrinK It Off if I'okkIIiIc.
LONDON. Jan. 18. 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."

Great Snffcrlng: on he Northern
Cottkt of Newfoundland.
ST. JOHN'S. X. F.. Jan. 13. 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.

FLOOD IT GHEHALIS
THE LOWER PORTION OF THE
TOWS SOW SUBMERGED.
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. A Union City special
to the Ledger says that Friday Samuel
XIatthews was drowned in the Skokomlsh
river, his canoe being demolished by

A Sherman County Farmer Shoots
Himself at The Dalles.
THE DALLES. 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. The Dalles presents many
advantages for such an Institution. Much
Interest will be felt In the result of the
committee's labors.

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. XL Weddell has arrived
from Pennsylvania, and will enter upon his
duties as assistant principal of the Bar
clay school tomorrow morning.

Chairman Coultrap, of the relief commit

be sent to Shawnee and Glouster at once,

the governor sent Mayor Blee, of Cleve
land, the following telegram:
"There is much suffering for provisions
and clothing among the miners of the
Hocking valley and Sunday creek valley
of this state. It is of such a character
that I feel constrained to call upon the
generous people of Ohio to render as
sistance. The carload of supplies sent
last week has been already exhausted."

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

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

itively known that several hundred thou
sand ounces have been shipped lately. The

smelters engaged In the trade. It is not
a new market for Colorado silver, by any

to secure to themselves all the profits to
be made in the trade.

THE RAGING FRASER
A COLD WAVE WILL NOW END THE
FLOOD.
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
