LONDON, Oct. 1Lord Roeebe'ry caused considerable surprise yesterday by the publication of a monograph on the bite Lord Randolph Churchill, with out any, previous announcement. Lofd Rosebery himself describe It a; only a "Reminiscence and study,' and not In any sense a "life."' The result is a delightful book of per-onel recollection, throwing many sidelight and illuminating Churchill' meteoric career and his character from their day at Eaton together to hi tragic death. "It deal at length with Lord Randolph' relation to the Irish party and hi resignation from the Sal isbury cabinet. Lord Rosebery believes there waa something little short of an alliance between Churchill and the Irish party, and that his unaccountable res ignation was lagcly the outcome of physical cause and the development of the disease that ultimately carried him off. . ' DESPERATE CRIME Body of Carey M. Snyder Found in the Woods. SUPPOSED TO BE IN HIDING Skeleton Completely Identified Bad Record Behind Him His Alleged Connection With Hillsboro Bank Robbery in December. PORTLAND, Oct; 1-A special to the Oregonian from Hillsboro, Oregon, The mystery of the disappearance of Carey M. Snyaer, wno lived near Hills boro, on a small ranch, wa cleared by the finding of a skeleton ten miles east of here today by Harry Hansson, a him ter. After finding the skeleton, Hansson notified the authorities and Coroner H. T. Bagley and Sheriff Connell went to the place. Snyder's remain lav" near a log. His gun lay on top of the log, which laid above his foot and through his skull a bullet hole was found back of the right ear. The sheriff identified the clothing and in the pockets of the dead man was found a letter from his father, R. M. Snyder, a Kansas City banker. The teeth in the skull were crowned In the same peculiar manner as Ca rey's, giving another proof of the iden tity. The coroner's jury leaves the question open as to whether Sgvdcn was killed or committed suicide. Sheriff Connell's theory is that Snyder was murdered. ; Shortly after he disappeared and aub sequently to the Forest Grove bank rob bery, it was ascertained that Snyder left Portland In a buggy, in company with two other men. , These two are alleged to have returned alone, but the bottom of the vehicle was covered with blood, tonneu believes Snvdcr waH with the two others when the bank was roblied or knew who committed the robbery, and in attempting to hide their crime the two strangers put him out of the way. , There is also, it is alleged, some ground for the theory that Snyder made an appointment with the two men the night before the bank was robbed; that the two men failed to present an ap pearance and the day following the rob bery, Snyder discovered the men and tried to make them divide further, that the real robbers pretened to agree and in this way lured hi mto the spot where the mony was supposd to be concealed and then killed him. Snyder's wife, who now lives In Kansas City, has al ways insisted that Corey had no part in the robbery, asserting he was at home the night the crime wa commit ted. , AFTER ATH FROM GULF Storm Hampers Relief and Repair Work. v SUFFERING INTENSIFIED Cruel Instances of Deprivation Everwhere Throughout Coast Country. NEGROES ARE EVERYWHERE Citizens of Mobile Taking Measures for Relief Sending Out Food, Clothing and Other Necessary Things. MOBILE, Oct. 1. Business houses this city today sustained almost as much damage from the heavy rain storm set in shortly after midnight as from the recent disaster. There is scarcely a' building in the business section capa ble of keeping out the rain. Many have no roof at all, and during ..the storm in which four inches fell, the water poured through the elevator shafts, leak ing roofs and upon the unprotected up per floor, ruining all manner of mer chandise. In the federal building large pools formed on every floor. Mavor Lyon sat in bis office with his feet drawn up under him to keep them out of the puddles under his feet and .wore his hat to keep off the rain. The city hospital is leaking badly. The citizens committee has agreed that while Mo bile is entirely able to care for itself, contributions for the neighboring sec tions of the country will be accepted. The bodies of eight people were picked up today. A heavy rain storm, which is greatly interfering with the telegraph and rail road companies, aet in and is still in progress. No wind has accompanied the rainfall yet, but the downpour has- been exceedingly heavy and has enormously increased the difficulties of construction geng-' ' It is feared, too, that it will cause much increase of suffering and some deaths along the coast of the south end of Mobile Bay. Many people' are homeless in that section and are living in the woods, with scanty supplies of provisions. To expose them to another storm cannot but have a serious effect on women and children. Bv noon the total precipitation was close to four inches and every build ing in the city with a damaged roof, and this means nearly all of them, was leaking badly. Streams of water were pouring into the ' City HospitM, the Federal building ' was drenched, and Mayor Lyons wore his hat in office to keep off the water that fell through the ceiling. Business men were almost in despair early in the day, many of them declaring that the continuation of the rain would ultimately destroy their stocks of goods. ' Much suffering is ex pected down the bay, where 2,000 per sons are homeless and destitute. On Dauphin Island there are 500 homeless, with only three small build insg in which they can obtain shelter. Despite the fact that two relief ex peditions were sent out yesterday, there are not more than enough provisions for one day, and additional supplies were sent down early today. WTiile there is no suffering in Mobile proper, there is urgent need at many point on the southern part of the bay, and assistance for these people will be gratefully re ceived. . NIPPED IN THE BUD. Shady Methods of a Swindler Revealed in Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1. An alleged swindle was nipped in the bud here Sunday by. the arrest of William Trim ble, formerly of San Francisco.

PASSES SIX MILES IN LAND Lytle Said to Have Captured Only Ac cess to City from the North Ham mond Timber Holdings in in terior Balances Trade Lost. The Portland Telegram of yesterday is authority for the following, which lacks confirmation at this end of the line: "Tillamook will have but one rail road, unless the Oregon Coast & East-' em persists in keeping the town on ita map, for A. B. Hammond has abandoned" bis intention of extending the Astoria Jfc Columbia River Railroad through the town. Instead, he Will swine to tha west, about six miles and continue aown the coast to connect at Newport with the Corvalis & Eastern. "This decision has been reached as a result of the maneuvering of - E. Ev Lytle, president of the Pacific Railway & Navigation Company, who has secured the only entrance into the town from the north. "Through private purchase and by virtue of the right of way concessions granted by the resdents of Tillamook, the P. E. 4 X. has undisputed possession of the route down the coast, swinging' arttund Tillamook Bay by way of Bay City, with a branch to Garibaldi. The citizens will provide a 100-foot right of way from Tillamook to Nehalera, and from the latter point to the Washing ton county line. The land from Ne halem to the line is not to eost the' citizens more than $10,000, and in re turn for these concessions Mr. Lytle is to bind himself to build 15 miles of road from Tillamook during 1907, and to have the entire road finished from Tillamook to Buxton, the present ter minus, by, December 31, 1908. "Guy W. Talbot, general manager of the A. & C, today stated that the fact Mr. Lytle's possession of the right of way precluded any attempt on his part ' to occupy the same territory, did not ' mean the abandonment of the Seasid extension, but instead that the A. cSc . C. would follow a route six miles to the west of Tillamook, skirting the hills and join the C. & E. at Newport, as originally planned. Mr, Hammond is re ? ported to hold about 00,000 acres of . timber land in Tillamook county, 'and this is expected to provide considerable traffic and revenue for the road, de spite the loss of the Tillamook trade.1
