...........................
Widespread damage throughout the Co
lumbia River Valley followed the heavy
downpour of Saturday and Sunday.
Trains were stalled, bridges swept away,
farms overflowed and towns cut off
from communication with the outside
world. All day yesterday the storm dam
age Increased. The rain swelled the
smallest stream to a torrent. Logs and
driftwood er swept away, carrying de
struction to everything In their path.
Several log rafts piled up on the Madl
. Sinn-street bridge yesterday and threat
ened to carry that structure away. Later
the tug Sampson crashed Into the bridge,
damaging the draw pier.. The bridge is
out of alignment and yesterday after
noon It was closed to all traffic except
persons afoot.
The worst effects of the storm are be
lieved to have passed. The cold weather
of last night stopped the melting of
snows In the mountains and all streams
re expected to subside quickly. In fact,
many of the rivers tributary to the Wil
lamette and Columbia commenced falling
yesterday. However, it will require more
time for these streams to reach their
highest point. The crest of the flood In
the Willamette is expected at Portland
today.
Lower Colnmbla Towns Suffer.
Towns along the Lower Columbia
TUver on the Washington shore have
suffered from the floods. Woodland
streets arc under water in a part of
the town. Kalama is in darkness on ac
count of floods, arid the Lewis and
Cowlitz Rivers arc running banks full.
Logs and shingle bolts have been swept
away in large quantities.
The lTpper Columbia country Is also
threatened by floods. Streams are high
and logs are being swept toward the
Columbia In large numbers. For the
most part, however, the timber ta being
saved through the efforts of ttmbermen,
who are doing everything to hold the
logs in booms. Water was pouring
down over the cliffs all through the
Columbia Gorge yesterday, but less
trouble Is expected today.
The Eastern Oregon country is ex
periencing the most trouble of the
Winter from floods. Bridges arebeing
carried away, and there is great dam
age to towns and farms.
Train, service on the O. R. & N. to
the East cannot be restored for 24
hours, although construction crews are
working like mad to open the line.
Bridges have been washed away In
many places and embankments are
gone. There arc gaps in the track of
several hundred feet that will have to
be rebuilt with pile drivers.
The line was opened last night to
VmatiUa. 1ST miles east of Portland.
Between Umatilla and La Grande there
are several washouts. The O. R. & N.
line to Spokane Is open, and trains
will run as usual today on that divi
sion. There are a number of washouts
on the Pendleton-Walla Walla line.
Local train service only between Port
land and Umatilla will be possible to
day. Xortli Bank Road Damaged.
The Spokane. Portland A Seattle Rail
way, which was to have opened for
traffic yesterday, cannot operate a sched
ule before tomorrow at the earliest. A
big slide covered the track for a long
distance at Carson. A steam shovel is at
work clearing the track. Log jams in
the Washougal River piled up against
the railroad bridge and carried away sev
eral bents. Piling in the approaches was
broken. There was S.OOO.Ouo feet of logs
banked against the bridge yesterday aft
ernoon. In other places bridges were weakened
so that trains dare not cross. The moun
tain streams running Into the Columbia
became torrents and ran up level with the
track In some places. Embankments were
washed badly along the new line. '
There was a recurrence of the slide
on the O. R. & N. at Wjeth at 11:30 yes
terday when the first slide had been
cleared away. Late in the afternoon the
trouble-was finally removed. The bridge
across Eagle Creek, on the line of the
O. R. tc N., suffered from floods, several
bents being washed-away. . A pile driver
was set to work and the structui was
, made passable for trains yesterday after
noon. Reports from O. R. N. officials at
Spokane yesterday afternoon were that
trains cannot reach Dayton for several
days. A number of bridges on the O.
R. & N. lines hare been damaged. One
bent was washed out of bridge R 62 at
Cayuse and one bent out of bridge R 66
Just west of Thorn Hollow. Bridge R 14,
near No) in, is in trouble and a gang of
workmen was sent out yesterday with
1000 grain sacks to weight the bridge
down with sand and strengthen the sup
ports. Both approaches bad been washed
and the bridge was about a foot out of
line. The new steel bridge just west of
Pendleton is in a dangerous condition,
A work train was hauling rock yesterday
for this structure and expected to save
It.
Washouts Yet to Be Filled.
Reports from A. Buckley, chief dis
patcher for the O. R. & N. at La Grande,
yesterday afternoon said a slide at Dun
can would be clear at 6 P. M., but there
was a washout at mile post 265, about
130 feet long and about 10 feet deep and
nothing had yet been done In digging it
away. The track" at mile post 257 was
washing away badly and nothing could
be done at that point either. A fill 225
feet long at mire post 255 was badly
washed and a pile drlverwould be needed
to repair It. Bad spots were also re
ported between Bingham Springs and
Pendleton.
The Northern Pacific was out of com
mission in the Lewiston countrv vester-
l day and applied to the O. R. & N. to
nanme its mall business on the Snake
River boats.
It was reported that the Touchet River,
at Dayton, Wash., had cut a new channel
through the west end of the town, wash
ing away 300 feet of the track. Two
bents of the railroad bridge west of Day
ton had been washed away.
Superintendents of the Washington di
vision and of the mountain division of
the O. R. & N.. where the greatest trou
ble was yesterday, reported last night
that the streams were ralllnc hni iht
it would be some time before the damage
to the whole system could be repaired.
It is believed the main line will be open
not later than tomorrow morning.
River Still Rising Here.
A rise of three feet was noted in the
Willamette River at Portland yesterday
and the government gauge showed 12.3
feet above sero. The Weather Bureau
predicts a, rise of from two to Three" feet,
more, due largely to the rise In the
Columbia. The current will subside rap
Idly and practically still water will be
fell! at Portland by tomorrow. Better
than a 16-foot stage Is not looked for.
Rain has ceased to fall In the Wil
lamette Valley for nearly 24 hours and all
the streams feeding the riverare falling.
At Portland the fall would be felt tnis
morning had it not been for the rise in
the Columbia which backed up the Wil
lamette. This rise, however, will not ex
ceed two feet, according to the Weather
Bureau.
The Tug Samson, having in tow the
barge Wallacot, bound for Tillamook,
drifted down on the west pier of the
Madison-street bridge, shortly after
noon yesterday, and put the pier several
inches out of alignment. For a time the
Madison-street structure was in danger
of being carried away. Streetcars and
teams are not allowed to cross, passen
gers on the O. W. P. line being, trans
ferred to the Morrison bridge." For this
purpose a special car is . being run,
on East Water street. Four i.m
log rafts lodged against the bridge at
m-.M yesterday morning. One of these,
belonging to the Inman-Poulsen Tjimh.r
Company, was pulled off in a few hours
by river steamers, and secured to the
dock above the bridge on the East Side.
Car Tracks on Bridge Twisted.
The bridge was badly out of line yes
terday, the streetcar tracks twisting
across from shore to shore like four
long snakes. It would have Seen im
possible for the cars to cross, even if
it were safe to do so, as the draw and
the east . approach were about eight
Inches out of line. This condition was
made worse when, at 1 o'clock yester
day afternoon, the tug Samson came
down with the current nnH -t-q v i
broadside into the west approach. This
portion orthe bridge now vibrates per
ceptibly, and the new nil.
driven have been loosened in the mud.

bridge no support- '
The log jam on the East Side ex
tends from the river bank nearly to the
draw. The loss are piled up for about
50 feet up the river, and each new log
or piece of drift which mm..
rolls under the huge pile, and helps to
make a wall which, unless removed,
will, aid perhaps already does, extend
to the river bottom. Had It not been
for the new piles recently driven to
support the weather-worn structure,
the rafts would probably have gone
down the river. ,
During the morning practically
nothing was done toward relieving the
pressure of the driftwood against the

General Nord Alexis, President of

PARIS. March 16. The situation be
tween the Haytien Government and
France has become acute and critical.
The French Legation at Port Au Prince
Is menaced and a general massacre of
the- white residents of the islands is
feared. This Information was conveyed
in an official dispatch to the Foreign
Office from M. Carteron, the French
Minister to Hayti.
The latter part of last week, M. Borno,
the Haytien Minister of State, assured
M. Carteron that Haytl would agree to
allow the refugees who had taken asylum
in the French Consulates at Gonaives and
St. Marc to leave the island.
Execution of Citizens.
This morning there came the news of
the execution at Port Au Prince on Sun
day of between 10 and. 12 prominent
persons on the charge of conspiracy
against the government, together with a
cablegram from M. Carteron announcing
that General Nord -Alexis the President
of Hayti, had not only refused to con
firm the assurances given M. Borno, but
had flatly declined to permit the refugees
In the Consulates to depart.
Eleven additional persons have taken
aalyum at the French Legation. " The
French cruiser Destrees is expected very
soon at-Gonalves, where she will act In
eo-operation with the British and Ger
man ships of war now on their way to
Hayti.
It is understood here that France, Ger
many and Great Britain are acting in ac
cord in this matter.
Safety tinder French Flag.
General Antonor Firmin, who led the
last revolt in Hayti, is among the refu
gees under the French flag. The foreign
office recognizes that the General and
his followers are revolutionists but de
clines to hand them over to the Haytien
government on the ground that there
were no assurances that the men would
have a legal trial. In this connection it
was explained that, according to French
tradition, any man who sought refuge
under the French flag should have at
least temporary protection.

the plot against him was hatched at the

says, because M. Cartenon, the French
Minister, declines to deliver the refugees
under the French agreement to the
Haytien authorities.

Bay Target Practice Probata
ly Will End April 5.
MAGDALENA BAT, Lower California,
March 12. (By United States Cruiser
Buffalo to San Diego, Cal., March 16.)
Ready for immediate action, It need be,
according to the declarations of all the
commanding officers, from Rear-Admiral
Evans down, and with three or
four feet of heavy armor belt showing
red above the blue of the placid South
ern waters, the American battleship
"fleet of 16 modern vessels sailed Into
Magdalena Bay, and after exchanging
courtesies, with the Mexican authorities
represented by Governof Sanginez, of
the the Southern Division of Lower
California, prepared immediately for
the annual record Spring target prac
tice, which is expected to occupy about
three weeks.
"Look at us!" exclaimed . Admiral
Evans, when the fleet had come to an
chor off the little town of Magdalena,
In four divisions of four ships abreast.
"We are ready at a moment's notice to
begin shooting at' the' targets, to go
out to sea and fight a battle or to keep
on with the cruise. If anyone thinks
we are not ready for target practice,
let him come down here tomorrow and
see. And if they think we can't hit
the targets, let them come -along and
take a look at them."
' Admiral Evans Better.
. Admiral Evans" health has greatly
improved during the latter part of the
voyage. He was In the pilot-house of
the Connecticut when the fleet steamed
through the gateway to the bay, and
remained there, giving orders and wit
nessing their execution' until the an
chor-chains had whirred their way Into
the water and the great mud-hooks
had found a resting-place in the sandy
bottom of 'the bay.'
Admiral Evans was greatly - disap
pointed at not being able to attend the
social functions In honor of the fleet at
various South American ports, but he
declared today, while sitting on the
after bridge of his flagship, that he
expected to go ashore at all of the
California ports to be visited, and take

part in the festivities of the home
coming of the fleet.
The entire town of Magdalena. which,
despite the' reports of a boom, is still
a tiny village, turned out Its total pop
ulation of 140 souls four of them
Americans to watch the coming of
the fleet. Wireless messages last nnxht
told of the near approach of the bat
tleships and the town has shaken off
its tropical lethargy to arise and greet
both the dawn and the American ships
in Joint celebration todav.
r
First Sight of the Fleet. .
Watchers on the high hills of the
arm of land reaching lown from the
mainland and forming protection to
the bay from the northwest, caught
their first glance of the leading ships
soon after the first faint streaks of
the approaching day slanted from the
eastern shore of the bay. A heavy mist
had hung over the waters since early
the evening before, and it was not until
the rising sun had driven the tog away
that the long, precise column of 16
ships burst Into view. The Connecti
cut, with Rear-Admiral Evans' double
starred flag of blue .fluttering from her
peak, was in the lead. The line that
followed was as straight as an arrow.
Not a ship deviated in the slightest de
gree . from the course of the leading
vessel.
. Vessels Come to Anchqr.
With 15 fathoms of water beneath
tnem, the navigating officers had noth
lng to fear, and as the sratewav he
tween Point Redondo on the south, and
roint Entrada on the north, was
reached the "speed cones" dangling
from the signal yards on the foremast
or tne flagship gave no hint of break
in the specific cruised speed of 10 knots
an hour. On through the entrance to
this magnificent Southern Pacific har
bor the great column passed with dense
clouds of smoke pouring from the fun
nels. Frightened small birds flew with
a great fluttering of wings from their
roosting places on the rocks, and lum
bering old pelicans picked themselves
reluctantly irom the smooth waters to
make way for the big white ships.
The morning was perfect, once the sun
had taken command. The air was balmy
and the light breeze which blew from
the south did not even ripple the mirror
like waters of the Northern bay. Once
inside the harbor mouth, the Connecti
cut turned SharblV to nort anH nnlnfe1
her course toward the north. It was a
run of eight miles from Point Entrada to
Man-o'War Cove, where anchors were
let go.
Governor Watches Entry.
. The town of Magdalena. with its two
score of whitewashed, low-lying huts,
nestles in the hills off the Cove and it
was here that the natives were gathered
in greatest numbers to welcome the fleet
Governor Sanginez, surrounded by, gaily
uniformed members of his staff, watched
the approach of the vessels from the
most pretentious dwelling of the village.
It was not until the very anchorage
grounds had been reached that the speed
cones gradually descending showed a
slackening of headway. . Then signal
flags were broken out from the Connecti
cut, and with the precision of a company
of soldiers at drill, the vessels of each
of the four divisions began a quick ma
neuver which brought them abreast.
"Anchor in present formation," came
the commmand from the flagship. The
beat of propellors, which could be plainly
heard across the still, smooth waters,
ceased and the clank and Wihlrr of the
dropping anchor chains awoke the repose
of the hills with racuous noises.
Buffalo Fires Salnte.
Passing through the three miles of deep
water at the gateway at T A. M., the
fleet came to anchor at 7:55 o'clock. Five
minutes later the saluting cannon of the
converted cruiser Buffalo, which was
waiting with supplies and mall, boomed
with the first of 13 guns. Saluting Is not
allowed until 8 o'clock under Navy regu
lations, and that accounted for the seem
ing delay in speaking honor to Admiral
Evans' flag.

CHARGES OF FAVORITISM
One-eyed Senator Says Special Priv.
lieges Are President's Fault c
cuses Him of Pandering to Xc.
groes' and Rich Men's Votes.
WASHINGTON, March 16.-Vith a
caution unusual for him. Senator Tillman
today read a part of his speech in the
Senate in which he denounced- executive -encroachment
on legislative power. With
this apparent caution he proceeded to de
liver one of the most direct and denun
ciatory addresses ever heard in that body.
He was given a careful hearing. Most of
the Senators on both sides of the chamber
were in their places and the galleries
were filled with visitors. His speech was
based on his resolution instructing; the
committee on Anance to inquire whether
National banks of New York are in the .
habit of furnishing; permanent capital for '
speculative enterprises, etc. The resolu
tion was adopted.
The subject of Tillman's speech was
executive encroachment upon the legis
lative branch of the Government and he
traced what he termed a "swinging of the
pendulum" from the regime of Andrew
Johnson, when Congress assumed control
almost to the exclusion of the President
from legislative influence to the adminis
trations that followed, which he declared
witnessed a growth of -Presidential power
. Degeneration of House.
"Now," he said, "the House has de
generated Into little more than a re
cording machine to do the will of the
Speaker and his lieutenants. Freedom
of debate In the old, and true sense has
disappeared from that end of tile Capi
tol. ' In the Senate, servility and cow
ardice are 1 the order of the day," he
declared,, "and while freedom of debate
still -exists, the shadow pf the Execu
tive hangs over all, and the President's
wishes are almost the only law."
The cause of this condition, declared
Tillman, is "Federal patronage."
Tillman reviewed the events of the
recent currency crisis and charged
Wall street with many misdemeanors.
Referring to recent conferences in the
White House toj consider legislation,
Tillman asked why It was that the
leaders of the Republican party in the
Senate had been ignored.
"Who Is going to be the spaniel mes
senger to bring these bills here?" de
manded the Senator, looking about the
Senate as if awaiting a reply.
"I am going to watch and see," he add
ed, amid laughter from all parts of the
chamber.
Beveridge Jumps Into Fray.
Beveridge asked the speaker If he would
name the radical legislation he had said
the President is sending to the. Senate.
He repeated that he disagreed with the
doctrine that allowed railroads to pool.
Beveridge asked whether. Tillman fa
vored the labor legislation proposed bjt.
the President.
'I shall never yield that no man shall
say to another man that he shall not
work," declared Tillman.
Senator Beveridge made a spirited de
fense of President Roosevelt and the Re
publican party, declaring that what had
been termed the subserviency of Repub
lican Senators was merely an evidence of
harmony between the President and his
party in Congress.
Beveridge characterized the South Caro
lina Senator as the "corn-fed lawyer."
Tillman objected to that title, but added
that he was mighty fond of corn bread.
. A long review was given by Beveridge
of Democratic policies, and he declared
that a conference had been held in this
city for the purpose of corning to a plan
for asking Bryan not again to be a candi
date on the Democratio ticket; but when
Bryan came, he said, not one of them had
the courage to tell him what they had
planned to do. This statement called forth
denials from Tillman, McLaurln and Ray
ner, all of whom declared that there
never had been any Idea of asking Bryan
not to run on the Democratic ticket.
Tillman's "Cold Facts."
Citing what he called "cald-blooded
facts" to show executive responsibil
ity for many of the evils which exist,
Tillman said:
"In tho most pronounced language '
he has denounced the combination be
tween labor organizations and the boy
cott, but on the eve of an election
panders to this same vote by demand-,
lng changes In the law as interpreted
by the Supremo Court. Organized la
bor Is to be relieved from the prohibi
tion ot the Supreme Court's decisions,
but along with it must go the relief
of capital. Once relieved, 'the male
factors of great wealth' will smile In
triumph over their victory, while la
bor will find itself no freer than be
fore " s
Tillman charged many of the evils
in connection with the rec-nt financial '
flurry to the President and his admin
istration, and said:
"These are only a few of the achieve
ments of this "uncrowned king.' With
iConchidsd oa Ps &..)
