Tacoma, Wash., Feb. 4.--That
Chester Thompson will not be sent
to the asylum at Fort Stillacoom is
certain. There is a legal question
1 168 to whether he can: be admitted
'there, and aside from this Dr. Cal
I noun, the boy's brother-in-law and
superintendent of the institution,
absolutely refuses to take charge of
him. : ! ;
i "I will resign if he is sent here,'.'
said Dr. Calhoun..
As the case stands, the boy has
been declared "not guilty" and the
court has no . further jurisdiction
over him. He cannot be sent to a
state penitentiary by the court, us
he is not a criminal in the eyes cf
the law. The probabilities are that
he will be eent to some nrivate asv-
1ULU. i
Will H. Thompson, the boy's
father, visited his son in the county
jail, where he is being held until
arrangements can: be made to put
him in an asylum, and found him

- Chester Thompson was found not
guilty late Saturday night, alter the
jury had been out about ten hours
He received the verdict without

Willamette River stands this morn

night, and people along the flats are
this morning moving out from their

across the Clackamas is considered
uneafe, so that passengers are trans
feriey across. The bridge has suck
about four inches in the middle,
and it is said that there is a strong
chance of its going out. The -swol
len streams from the upper C'ack-
amss cause the water in the VV ilia
mette to back up, and thus makes
a higher stage in the city. lhe
Abernethy is also very high and
still rising. The tracks of the
Southern Pacific along the banks
of the Afcerntthy are nearly sub
marged.
Albright's Lake is about to over
flow, and if this occurs much dam
age in the fiat lands will , result.
Already the truck gardens operated
by the Chinamen are under water.
The county read is floodei. and this
morning was being navigated by
boats.
Men familiar with the river and
its ways say that there is little doubt
but that Oregon City is on the eve
of a flood that will be one of the
maiks in its history. The upper
river is rising at the rate of 0.7 foot
an hour, and the lower at the rate
of 3 10 ft et
Willamette Pulp & paper Company
is having trouble with it9 generators
on account of the back water in the
lower river. A large force of men
was busy last night at M'il A, try
ing to keep the water from the dy
namos. Ths Crown Pulp & Paper Com
pany has. closed on account of high
water. Ooe mill of the Willamette
Palp & Paper Company closed at 2
o'clock this morning.; If the river
rises three inches more it will drive
the whole plant of 1 the Willamette
Pulp' & Paper Company out of com
mission.. The river rose four inch
es between 9 and 12 this forenoon.
AU this sweeping down from the
he ad waters of the different streams
is due to a combination of condi
tions unusual; yea,' remarkable. In
the first place, ; an unprecedented
amount of snow has fallen in the
mountains and foothills during the
past few weeks. Following this
sweep of territory in the northern
part of the United States and Can
ada. A bitter, bitter north wind
whistled like a gale through this
area, which moved gradually west
ward until Oregon and ..Washing
ton hung, upon ..its edge. Then
came the weather man's prediction
that another protracted cold snap
was at hand, for all indications
pointed toward the high pressure
zone enveloping the entire region.
But the weather man was fallible
for out somewhere in j the Pacific
Ocean, hundreds of miles off the
the coast, an area of low barometer
pressure was gradually forming,
bearing eastward. It was Zeph
yrus marshaling his Eubtle forces
for a battle with the titanic Boreas.
The two wind gods, the fierce, the
raging, the bitter, the cold Boreas,
and the gentle, rollicking, balmy
and warm Zepbyrus, were sweeping
toward each other, and the contact
was unavoidable. , The first intima
tion of the weather office had , was
when the vanguard puffs of Zepby
rus tossed up the ocean off the coast
and hurled a roaring surf booming
along the shingle.. : This meant
danger and eent the storm : signals
up at all poicts. Boreas' progress
was watched for it bad been report
ed from the zero regions in the
East. . .
Then, when the giants met for
the struggle it looked as it the cold
and fiercy north wind would con
quer, bat be was vanquished and
ariven from the field, and zephyrus
held the day. Down eank the ba
rometer and up jumped'the mercu
ry, and the wind sang a chant of
victory. The white-blanketed hills
fait the breath of the balmy Zephy'
rus and soon they, changed to 1
snowless waste of barren slopes,
The waters came down from the
heights, they surged Into the placid
streams and choked them with rag
ing, turbulent floods. They up
rooted trees, they ripped out bridg
es, boats were buffeted by them,
rafts of logs and driftwood crept
faster and faster along the creets,
and glutted with this influx from
its tributaries the Willamette soon
started on its present rampage.
These factors played leading parts
in the dangerous freshet now pre
vailing, and likely to grow worse
during the next few days.
AMERICANS COULD SWEEP?
THE JAPANESE NAVY
FROM SEA.
AN ADMIRAL SAYS
Washington, Feb. 6. No less
an authority than Richard Olney,
ex-secretary of state and of the
treasury, has expressed himself, and
in writing, upholding the conten
tion of California that the manage
ment of schools is not a federal af
fair.
Sepresentative Samuel W. Cal
of the eighth congressional district
of Massachusetts waB quoted in
Boston paper as criticisiog the
language the president used in his
message, and eepecially tnat por
tion of it where it referred to the
use of armed forces of the United
Stales to whip Caliiornia into line
on the schooling of Japanese, and
the interview called out the letter
from M. Olney, who said that ichad
boen assumed that the issue lay
between the laws of the state of
California and the -rights purport
ing to be granted to Japaneee by
treaty.
Even on that theory, he said, ths
laws oi California should prevail.
TCni- irrior Via VEloVirf ra iM trt la rl 7 tn
Reports come that the . aUfint:0n to ws tW. in nnint
of fact, no such issue wa involved.
Mr. Olney ajcaljzfd the first article
of the treaty and saidr
"If that was all there was to it,
it might be poesibe to argu, though
I think without success, that tbeie
was a conflict between Japanese
treaty rights and the rights ordin
arily coDceded to and exercised by
the state of California."
Quoting article two, dealing with
the police power of the state, Mr.
Olney says that Japan is wholly
without cauee of complaint against
California by reason of her public
school system, and that the United
States is without legal ground of in
terference with that system.
i General Draper, formerly ambas
sador to Rome, recently wrote to
Congressman Call approving of the
sentiments be badexpressed in the
Boston paper. ; , i; , j ...

Hero of Manila Bay Angry at Cow,

Afraid to Fight Oth
er News. .
Washington, D. C, Feb. 4. AdV
miral Georgs Dewey is reported to
be very indignant at what he ternQB
the cowardice of a certain high of
ficial, who has "acted as if he feared
Japan." The fighting hero of Ma
nila bay sayq we could . get our na
vy into eastern waters in six weeks
and that within two weeks after its
arrival there it could sweep the Jap
aneee navy from the sea. He does not
believe there will be trouble but if
there is he would not consider Ja-
pan a foe to fear. He says that Ja
pan might seize the Philippines and
possibly Hawaii, but our navy is
amply able to cope with the Japan
ese navy and that we would quick
ly retake the islands when we got
ready.
Admiral Dewey thinks San Fran
cisco has nothing to fear from a
hostile fleet.
"In the ecience cf warfare," he
says, "It is ridiculous . to suppose
that a foreign nation would attempt
to take one of our seacoast cities.
Should Japan capture San Francis
co it would require her entire navy
to hold it, and her forces would be
cut off from, all sources of supplies
and surrounded on the land side by
the entire military force of this na
tion."
Admiral Dewey believes that we
do not need more ccaet defenses but
like a true sailor pins bis faith to
th navy, which - he "would have
steadily increased in strength. Ha
says also that if war has to oome it
will be well to let it come soon, as
delay will only favor Japan.
There is some speculation here as
to how President Roosevelt will re
ceive Mayor Schtnitz, who departed.
Sunday with the members of the
board of education for Washington,
of whom he is reported to have
spoken rather contemptuously re
cently, a iid who is suspected of
wishing to share with the president
the glory of settling the Japanese
school question without recourse to
war.
As for the president he is saying
nothing, but it it is believed he is
doing a"powerful' lot of thinking on
the subject.
Whatever he may feel like doing
it is evident the school board will
stand by Schmitz and any persiet
ent attempt to ignore him in the
negotiations may rtsult in the fail
ure of the ratification of a treaty:
The Washington Herald seid this
morning:
"At the-vsry moment when the
administration and the California
delegation were in agreement, when
self-restraint and the preservation
of good humor were necessary to
insure the continuance of harmoni
ous relations, Senator Perkins,
leader of the California delegation,
delivered a semi-public address in
which he predicted that war was
inevitable between Ji,an and the
United States' Frie.ids of Senator
Perkins are chagrined and humiliat
ed over this un-xpected outburst
and cannot understand the motive
that actuated it. It was said yes
terday that his prediction would
have come with bad grace at this
time from any member of the Cali
frrnia delegatiun, but the fact that
Senator Perkins ispartof the treaty
making power of the government
actuates the offerjse."
Senator Perkins today by way of
extenuation said that he had not
predicted war. Ha .thought any
serious difficulty between the two
countries could be Bettled by arbi
tration without resort to war.
