TWO PEOPLE ARE DROWNED Spectatators on Morrison Street Bridge io See Swimming feat are Victims. Portland, August 1. Seven tons' weight of shrieking humanity dropped from the eastern end of the Morrison street bridge in Portland, to the Willam ette at five minutes before 3 o'clock yes terday afternoon. Two persona were drowned. At least 50 were more or less injured. Miss Lottie E. Cameron, aged 16, and bddie bhank, aged U, were the Victims. Without warning a rotten 5 by 12-inch timber broke short off at the point where the bridge walk adjoins the road- way. It was the central support ot 40 feet of the walk on which were crowded tiously scanned by the Government in fully 140 people, largely women and spectors, it eeems he has developed a children. The break occurred on the new metal from commercial slate, abun south side of the bridge, opposite the dant here, which has an affinity for the Portland Rowing Clubhouse. atom of crnld nr nilvr. wl.ini, h ,.iiD A great throng had assembled to see ilu.,nau. i-ui, ino niujicro wonder," Bwim the river from Kellogg's boathouse to the Rowing Club's float, From end to end the Morrison-street bridge was crowded with spectators.

No such numbers were assembled, however, as to cause danger, had the bridge been sound. Lutz was about 6) feet from the float, swimming easily in the midst of the swarm of small craft. The antics cf four sportive Italians jn a skiff had diverted the attention of the crowd. This jovous quartet had just given a burlesque ex hibition of a rowboat upsetting, in front of the boathouse, when a scream was leard from the bridge. The peop'e seemed to drop in lump, as a load of coal is dumped into a cellar The tall from the top of the walk to the surface of the water was about 20 feet. It was broken by two scows, or small, floating boathouses, directly underneath. With a fearful crash the section of walk and its screaming, scrambling load of men, women and children, smashed through the roof of h these. Ihe walk seemed to fall square ly, thus preventing people trom being crushed underneath. A few people ' slipped off the western end of the fallen walk into the river, but were quickly dragged out. A lot more were tumbled in a heap on top of the debris aboard both floats, but fully one third plunged in a bunch between the floats, which were separated by about five feet of open water. That so many people could ' j i i nave fallen in such a space without oluuu1UK ur uiruumK i" underneath deep into the water, so that in rising tbev would be caught under the floats, seemed incredible, though for a time it was thought no one wa9 drown ed. The river here is about 20 feet deep. iis( ovi:its a i:w iii:tai.. Tlerlln Metallurgist I'.iidrnvon to ! Produce old. Merlin, Or., Aug. 2. A rumor of a startling discovery along the lines of the transmutiona of metals is rife here. J. an eccentric individual, a resi- is place for ten years, who haB been the subject of much curious com ment, a man known to hava a lrnnwl- - edge of chemistry and metallurgy, and ofan experimental turn of mind, fell under the suspicion of counterfeiting, and was compelled to explain to the Lecret service men the causes and re- suits of certain experiments. It transpires that he has worked con- stantlv for ten neighbors, upon the theory of the ex pansion and contraction of the atom by the addition or snbstraction of the iron. Ue explains thus : The gold atom con- - tains when pure, about 135,000 ions to - the atom, while silyer contains about - 78,000 ions to the atom, hence the dif ference in density and weight. He savs he is able to reduce the number of ions i - or electrons in gold, to about 50 ner cent, or in other words, to transmit gold ... a into silver, but he will neither affirm nor deny his ability to increase th inn nr electron in the atom, which is necessary to transmute the baser metal into that more precious. From his notes, which were surrepti rixum. i ne tneory 119 lias been working upon is the disintegration of the atom into unit ions and the subtraction from cold and the addition of rixum ions to the posures to their action, causing the destruction of a portion of the ions in the atom by electrical conveyance into a similar solution of rixum. WhpfliPr tho rvprs nf tho. otpofrin current would transfer the ion of rixum into the atom of silver treated similarly, i8 not known. If such notes were in ex- istence, they were most secretly cherish ed bv Mr. J. a Rix, as they were not found with the others, nor would threats or persuasion induce turn to say one Uord upon the subject. He is furious that his private affairs have become public gossip III.OCKS Till: WAY. o. ie. a X. Oppose Itnildln tlie I'ortag-e Itoud. The 0, R. &.

We can at least try to get tlie road, and nobody knows what he can do until he tries. We shall ascertain just where the line of the portage survey fringes on the O. R. & N. Then, if we cannot secure right of way from the company, we can bring action to condemn. l'y thii procedure we shall ascertain whether we must build over or under a mountain, in order to get around the O. R & N. Perhaps the portage road could be built outside of the O. R. & N. holdings by expendi ture ot sufficient money, but if it should . cost say $1,000,000 to do this, the project is entirely impracticable, in view of the funds available. If we should have to pay the O. R. & N. a nam which was suggested at today's conference, as possibly sufficient to make good what the company would give up, I do not see how we could go ahead with the enterprise. I shall insist that before we begin construction we shall be alFO lutely certain that the cost can be held down to the amount of the appropria tion, that is, $165,000 t nix; nm fimi. Delayed Kim of Salmon Conies Into tlie ICivcr. Astoria, Or , July 31 The first genuine big run of salmon for the season is now on and the greatest bene fit from it is being derived thus far by the gillnetters. While the catches made by the fishermen driiting about the mouth of the river have been gradually increasing during the past few days, it was not until during the past few days that the big run came in. Some of the boats made catches of nearly two tons each, while all drifting in the lower harbor are estimated by a man who is in a position to know to have averaged 1500 pounds. The traps are also reported to have done well and more encouraging reports are received from the up-river seining grounds. The latter are expected to make as the fish proceed up stream. While none of the plants have been blooked both the canneries and cold storage companies have as large forces of men at work as they can secure. The salmon resemble in every par ticular the big run of last season, which wa9 then called a delayed June run. They are large size and excellent color. Aa was anticipated, the price took a slight tumble as soon aa the big catches were reported, and, with the exception of the Tallant-Grant Packing Company and S. Schmidt it Co., all are paying 5 cents per pound flat. These two com panifsare etill offering 5 and 0 cent9, the figures that have prevailed for some
