DIED IN HER HUSBAND'S ARMS The 3Inn Arrived Sunday Front Pcnn. sylvania, Whence the Woman Also Came In November. TACOMA, Wash., March S. About 10 o'clock this moraine Frank Sprague shot and killed Mrs. Guy T. Gale and then killed himself at Gale's logging camp, about seven miles from Tacoma. Sprague arrived here Sunday from Cross Fork, Pa., where It Is said he met Mrs. Gale, and was a suitor for her hand before she mar ried Gale last November. This morning Sprague took a boat for the logging camp and soon found his -way to the Gale house. Mr. Gale was in the woods at the time, but went to the house on an errand and was Informed by Mrs. Gale that Sprague was inside, but would soon depart. Mrs. Gale Te-entered the house, ana was at once shot by Sprague. The victim staggered out of the house and died in her husband's arms. Sprague then came to the door, but, seeing Gale, turned back and shot himself. Mrs. Gale's maiden name was Gertie Richardson, and she has a mother and brother llvins at Cedar Run, Pa. NO TIDINGS OF THE LOYAL. Schooner Probably Lost BetTreen St. .Michael and Dntcli HarBor. WASHINGTON, March 4. Senator Turner recently referred to the Secretary of the Treasury a communication which came to his hands, asking him to use his best efforts to learn the whereabouts of the schooner Loyal, which left St Michael over a year ago with a number of Washington men aboard, and has nev er been heard from since. He has re ceived the following reply from the Sec retary: "Upon investigation, it appears that there Is no record ofthis schooner aftet she left St. Michael In September, 1S9S. Vessels of the revenue cutter service cruised over all the waters of the Behring Sea and touched at nearly every island therein, and had communication with all parts of the district of Alaska, but no Information Is reported to the department as to the fate of the vessel referred to. "It is the common belief on the Pa cific Coast that the schooner Loyal was lost on- her voyage between St. Michael and Dutch Harbor. Instructions will, how ever, be given to the commanding officers of the several vessels of the service which may be cruising In Behring Sea during the present season to endeavor to obtain information as to the fate of the party mentioned." It is inferred from this that the revenue cutter service has been on the lookout lor traces of the lost vessel, but at this late date It is very doubtful if any evi dence will be disclosed which will give a clew to the lost schooner.

As a compromise, this is the most absurd conclusion' that could have been reached. The principle is wrong and no concessions in other directions should operate to allow It to prevail. SEVEN PERSONS ADRIFT STARTED IN LAUNCH FROM ROGUE RIVER FOR YAQULNA. Slachinery Broke Down and Craft Was Picked Up Off Gray's Harbor Tivo Women Aboard. HOQULYM. Wash., March &. Tossed about for live days in a cockle-shell naphtha launch only 30 feet long. In the midst of a howling- galo and mountainous seas, on the broad expanse of the Pacific, was the terrible experience of a part of seven, two of them women, who arrived here today, having been rescued off Gray's Harbor by a tugboat. Last Sunday morning, John Bums, of Gold Beach, at the mouth of the Roguo River, started with a party of six in his naphtha launch Copper Queen for Yaqui na, 150 miles north. Tho trip was a hazardous one, but no roads connect the two points, and the water route was most available. Soon after leaving Roguo River the ma chinery in the little boat was disabled. A rude mast and sail were hastily rigged, as the weather was becoming squally. Cap tain Burns was compelled to continue northward, as It was Impossible with the launch to beat back against the wind. Oft Yaquina he found the sea too rough to at tempt to cross in over the bar, so headed for the Columbia river, hoping to gtt help from a tug or pilot-boat. Tuesday he made the mouth of the river. The wind had Increased to a gale, and no suc cor was in sight. Only by tho greatest efforts was the tiny craft prevented from capsizing or being swamped by the angry seas. The Copper Queen held her own until off the mouth of Gray's Harbor. The tug Printer had Just gone out looking for a possible schooner, when the captain of the steamer descried the launch and her pas sengers frantically waving signals of dis tress. A lmo was passed aboard and the Oregon party towed into the calm waters of the harbor. Aside from the loss of sleep and the discomforts of the trip, the passengers on the launch are none the worse off, and ann6unce their intention ta go to sea again as eoon as .the ma chinery of the launch shall be repaired.

Secretary Lister, of the board of con trol, returned to Tacoma Wednesday, aft er having visited the reform school. Mr. Lister stated before leaving Chehalis that a new building would probably be recom mended for the state reform school at 'the next legislative session. The school is crowded in the boys' department, and a new building Is very necessary for the convenience and safety of the inmates. It Is proposed to erect in lieu of some frame shells which have been doing sen-Ice the past 10 "years a building that will cost about $40,000. The new building would provide a dormitory for the larger boys, a ne wchapel and playrooms, bathrooms and a dining-room for the boys. The state reform school has always borne the reputation of being one of the j most carefully managed institutions in the state, and there has never yet been any trouble in securing the very reasonable .requests that have been made for It from the state. NOT YET SETTLED. "VaaeoHver'a Nevr Pavement May Still t Be Made of Briclc. VANCOUVER, Wash., March S. The work of surveying Main street, in this city, preparatory to establishing the grade for the new pavement, was begun today by Engineer Gradon, of Portland. From recent developments it appears that there Is still considerable doubt a3 to the style of pavement to be put down. Two weeks ago thevCouncil. acting, as it believed, in accordance with the wishes of a majority of the prbp'erty-owners on the street, as expressed in a petition, de cided by unanimous vote to pave the street with plank. Since then, it apepars, a num ber of property-owners who signed the petition for plank have changed the'r views, and now favor brick. Plans and specifications for the plank pavement are. however, being prepared, and bids will be advertised for. Should it appear, when the bias are in, that the wood pavement cannot be laid as cheaply as has been represented, it is possible proposals for brick, and possibly other kinds of pave ment, may bo received. Certain Council men claim to have propositions for brick pavement at a cost but little In advance of that estimated for the wood pavement. Washington's Salmon Outpnt. TACOMA, Wash., March 8.

Rooms at the Imperial Hotel Have Many Visitors. The Mlneowncrs' Club, rooms 205 and 205- Imperial Hotel, has become quite a headquarters for mining men who are visiting Portland, as well as for tho numerous mineowners resident here. A place where mining men may meet min ing men has long since been needed in Portland, and in these rooms they can confer as to the best means of advertis ing the mining resources of the Northwest; how to promote the securing of a smelter In Portland, and how to dispose of the ores from the various ledges tributary to this city. Stock quotations, the sampling of ores, the perusal of the Portland dally papers, as well as the various mining periodicals; writing letters, etc, occupy the attention of those visiting the club, and the enjoyment they all get out of It rather tends to make a nonminlng visitor envious of their comfort. F. J. Hard, a well-known mlneowner of Cripple Creek, who has money invested in the Bohemia mines, of Lane County, Is secretary of the club, and his enthusiasm when speaking of the mining future of Oregon is born of actual contact with the ledges, deep down among the timbered shafts and long tunnels, now tapping and crosscuttlng the hitherto neglected fissure veins of Oregon. Some rich ore from the Golconda mine was received yestedlay, and a handsome new register was provided, in which to keep a record of visiting mining men. Next Saturday evening, Paul Baumel will deliver a lecture on "The Formation of Oregon Ores" at. the regular weekly gathering of the members of the Club and their mining friends. LOW-GRADE SMELTING A SUCCESS. Boston Company "Will Begin Enlarg ing the Leadville Plant. In view of the proposition to establish a smelter in Portland, the following spe cial to the Denver News will be of In terest, as the Leadville smelter referred to. Is .of the pattern intended for this city: "Leadville, Colo., March 4. A, few mqnths ago tho Boston Gold Copper Smelting Company built a new plant here, using the Loder hot-air blast furnace. It is a concern independent of the smelter trust, adapted to the handling of low grade ores. The plant has proved such a commercial and metallurgical success that plans are under consideration to In crease Its capacity from 200 to 1000 tons per day, making it one of the largest in the state, and also constructing a refinery. These enlargements will be completed by September L There are, millions of tons of low-igrade ore In this camp, which can not be handled by ordinary roasting and lead-smelting processes, and as a result the present capacity of the Boston com panys furnace is so inadequate that the enlargement Is imperative."

The Baker City Republican publishes tho following letter from Representative Moody to Secretary Miller, of the Eaker City Chambpr of Commerce: "I shall use my best efforts to have the committee on coinage, weights and meas ures realize, as I do, that Baker City is the most Important point in Oregon for the locatlori of an assay office. I realize that my colleague's bill for an assay office at Portland, and Senator Simon's bill ask ing for a mint at the same place, will qualify the chances of favorable recom mendation, especially at this session of Congress. I believe, thougn, that finally the committee will realize and appreciate the justice of my claim over that of Pert land, If only one assay office can be se cured to tho state. I am "frank to con fess that, with a recommendat-'on of the Secretary of the Treasury against the es tablishment of any new mints or assay offices, with the desire on the part of party leaders in Congress to discourage any leg islation for additional appropriations be fore the presidential election, tho outlook for a favorable recommendation this sea elon Is not encouraging. I shall, however, if I find favorable action at this session absolutely Impossible, try to press the bill to a point where favorable action at the next session will be reasonably assured. "MALCOLM A.

DEALERS GET HOPYARDS IIEPECTED TO HAVE MUCH IN FLUENCE ON FUTURE MARKET. Generally Welcomed, However, as a. Step In Development That Will Not HHrt the Producers. SALEM, March 8. Some of the local hopgrowers attach great importance to the steady increase, in the number of hop yards controlled by hopdealers. It is re marked that the best yards in this vicin ity are now owned or leased by hopbuy ers or their agents. Among the yards thus controlled are the Beak Yard, north of Salem, the Dove and Hayden yards, southwest of Salem, and the Holmes yard, south of Salem. In addition to these, a large number of small yards are going Into the control of dealers. Some people profess to see in this an attempt on the part of, buyers to gain direct control of the hops so that there will be no need to deal with growers or with the Hop growers' Association. Others look upon it as a mere speculation which will re sult in great good to the Industry In this vicinity. It is argued that if. the buyers are also growers they will be all the more Interested In keeping up prices. The buyers say there Is no special sig nificance in the fact that some buyers ftro buying or leasing hopyard9. H. J. Ottenheimer .said today that the amount of hop lands thus owned or leased will be inconsiderable in amount, and that the buyers are simply running the yards as a speculation and to give them, occupa tion during the season when there Is nothing to be done in hopbuying. Secretary H. L. Bents, of the Oregon Hopgrowers Association, reports an offer of -6 cents per pound for CO bales of prime hops. Canning: Plant to Operate. O. V. Allen, one of the proprietors of the Salem cannery, reports that his company is preparing to operate its plant in this city during the coming season. Contracts are being made for peas to be grown by farmers In this vicinity, and it is expected that within a short'time 100 acres of peas will be contracted for. Tho cannery will begin operations on the first fruit that is on the market in sufficient quantities, and will run as long as there shall be any fruits or vegetables to be canned. Arrangements for Rebuilding. T. B. Wilcox, of Portland, one o the owners of the SalenvFIourlng Mills prop erty, .in this city, was in Salem today, looking over the ground with a view to making1 arrangements for the reconstruc tion of the mill burned last fall. He said that his company had not determined def initely what action would be taken. Mr. Wilcox was accompanied by building con tractors, who took measurements of the old stono foundation of the mill. These operations are taken here to be strongly indicativo of c purpose on the part of the company to rebuild. Petition for Pardon. Governor Geer today received a petition for the pardon of William. Marshall, now serving a sentence in the Oregon peni tentiary under conviction of the crime of manslaughter. The petition contains a detailed statement of the facts, which, in brief, are that two brothers, Oliver and William Marshall, in April, 183S, were driving teams on the public road near Baker City, when they met two other teams standing side by side in the road in such a position that they could not pass. Tho drivers of the teams that blocked the road made no move to let the Marshall hoys pass, and soon after an altercation ensued, in which James Reed, the driver of one of the teams obstructing the road, .threw Oliver Marshall down and held him by the throat. William Marshall, a boy of 17 years, came to his brother's rescue and struck Reed on the head with a stick. Reed died three days later from con tusion of the brain. Oliver Marshall was In ill health, and of light weight, while Reed was heavy and a giant In strength. At his trial William MarshalL offered In his defense the proof that he acted in protection of his brother's life, hut this was ruled out as not a sufficient defense. William Marshall was sentenced to eight years' imprisonment in the penitentiary. Tho petition bears the signatures of over 300 residents of the neighborhood in which the parties resided, and among -the peti tioners are a number of the jurors who sat In the trial of the case.

Hastings' peculiar letter follows: Lewlston. Idaho, Feb. 20. Hon. C. L. Rice. Bolne, Idaho Dear Sir: Will you assist me. and by eo doing not only me. but every other good man In the State of Idaho (and nobody but eood men handle public money), lb trying to get the next Legislature to abolish that mean, contemptible. Infernal, obnoxious, atro cious, illeagreeable. diabolical, damnable old law which stands on our statute book. A war rant -nas out agalnct me for depositing money In the bank here otherwise than on special de posit. I deposit my money as C. A. Hastings, Treasurer. When I came to the trial there was no pros ecuting attorney or witness there: consequently I was discharged. As I understand the caw. If that law la carxltd to a. finish. It sends a great many hundred men where we do not want to be. I am going to write to every Treasurer In the state, asking them to move heaven and earth and all the planets to get the eld thing repealed. Will you co-operate with us?

Ship Has Been Thorongrhly Cleaned and Will Be Released From Quarantine Today. PORT TOWNSEXD. Wash., March S. Notwithstanding the vigilance of tho quar antine officers, the fact has leaked out that one case of bubonic plague made, its appearance at Diamond Point quarantine station, the victim being a member of tho crew of the Japanese steamship Nahyo Maru. The case developed five weeks ago. and since that time the vessel and crew have been held at the station and tho strictest watch kept on both. Shortly after the .vessel was sent to the quarantine numerous cases of beri berl developed, three of which, showing more serious symptoms, being Isolated. Each caso proving fatal, led to thorough Investigation on the part of Quarantine Officer Foster, who took out the glands of the dead and forwarded them to the Gov ernment specialist In San Francisco, who is a noted bacteriologist, for examination, which in one case revealed positive evi dence of the bubonic plague, while the other two showed no traces of that dis ease. This information was sent to Dr. Foster, who immediately began the use of antiserum according to unofficial but reliable Information on all the members Of the crew Of the "JCnnvo ifnni -trith rnn? satisfactory results, judging from the fact that no new cases have developed in the past 30 days. The ship will be released at G o'clock tomorrow evening, with the entire crew except nine, who are afflicted with beri beri, but are .convalescent, and they will be held until their systems shall be thor oughly purified. Extra precautions were taken with" the steamship, which, when she arrived at the station, reeked with filth. Every mov able article aboard was moved, supplies destroyed and the vessel was not only fumigated twice. but was literally scrubbed and washed from stem to stern with strong disinfectants, and when she leaves the station tomorrow evening she will be In as perfect sanitary condition as she was when first launched. THE NEWS FROM WASHINGTON. Anti-Pest Scram Sent to the Coast for the Emcrjrcncy. WASHINGTON", March 8. Surgeon-General Wyman, of the Marine Hospital Ser vice, upon being shown a dispatch stating that it was denied that members of the crew of the Japanese steamer Nanyo Maru, which had been detained at Dia mond Point, Wash., were suffering from the plague, said that the facts are that the steamer arrived at Port Townsend quarantine January 30. having had two cases of sickness on board en route. There was ono death at the quarantine, and it was found to have resulted from, the bu bonlc plague. Thero were also a number of cases of beri beri. The steamer has been thoroughly disinfected and released. The passengers and crew who have been held In quarantine will be released,, but those who have been in the hospital will still be held. Surgeon Gassoway, In charge at San Francisco, has reported to General Wyman that glands from tho suspected cases of plague there were submitted to the local health authorities, and an exam ination is being made. He described the quarantine regulations In force there, and says the situation thus far Is apparently well In hand. The antecedents of the sus pected case have not as yet been ascer tained. The Surgeon-General states that a quan tity of the anti-pest serum which he has recently imported from the Pasteur Insti tute Jn Pari3 is already in the hands of the Marine Hospital officers at San Fran cisco. He. has sent an additional quan tity for use in this emergency; Quarantine in San Francisco. SAN FRANCISCO, March S. The quar antine in Chinatown is- still maintained today, though It Is somewhat relaxed, owing to the growing impression that the plague scare was bomewhat of a falsa alarm. Tho doctors who are making the germ culture experiments have not yet reported the result of their experiments, and may not do so for some days yet. WASHINGTON'S FEDERAL RUILDING9 Favorable Reports in Congress for Abont $2,000,000 for Them. WASHINGTON, D. C, March 4. Chair man Fairbanks, of the Senate committee on public buildings and grounds, feela quite sure that the State of Washington is bound to have one or more Postoffice buildings in the near future. Already his committee has reported favorably about $2,O0O,COO worth of these structures. The ball started with a favorable re port on Tacoma's public building, for $750,000. The report was made by Sena tor Turner, on Senator Foster's bill, and then Seattle and Spokane commercial bod ies seemed to grow more active than ever. The Seattle public building report fol lowed in a day or two, and tho amount recommended was ?S50,COO. The Seattle Chamber of Commerce was sure 51,000.000 would be not a cent too much, but (he 5S50.000 compromise was considered reasonable- On the same day Spokane's public building bill was also reported favorably. Senator Turner-; who' is al member of the committee, calUng the bills' up and report ing them. Nothing has been said about Walla Walla's public building so far as a re port Is concerned. Congressman Jones la the House, and Senator Foster In the Sen ate. Introduced bills for a 5150,000 public building there, but Senator Turner has not called this one up. He Indicated, ear ly In the session, that he did not feel any particular necessity for a building at Walla Walla. However, Walla Walla 13 being looked after and Is very likely to get recognition as soon as some ot the other larger cities of the state. It is not be lieved that all of the cities of Washington can secure public buildings at once, and it is probable that the state will count itself lucky if it secures a single public build ing appropriation this season. The argument that strikes home in ad vocating a public building bill for the State of Washlnton Is the fact that the state has no public buildings for its large and growing cities. Encouraged by the prospects of so many bills being favorably reported in the Sen ate, the Congressman from North Yak ima, Mr. Jones, proposes legislation for his home city, also. He will be satisfied with a $20,000 public building for North Yakima, and, he says, postoffice statistics warrant him in asking for it, as a large per cent of the public buildings through out the country are located in cities about the sire of or smaller than North Yak ima. A Republican Governor's Opinion. Governor Mount, of Indiana. Rep. I am opposed to the Puerto RIcan bill in its entirety, and I am uncompromisingly opposed to the ship-subsidy bill. If Puerto Rico is a part of the United States, why should we frame a tariff bill for that island any more than for any other ter ritory of the United States? If we must have a separate tariff bill for Puerto Rico, why not for Hawaii, the Philippines, and other of our territory? This would result in complications, and Is, 1 think, not in harmony with the Constitution of the United States. As to the ship-subsidy bill, I think at this time that we are confronted with enough aggressiveness from corporate greed. This Is an inopportune time for subsidizing any more great corporations. The shlp-aufbsidy bill will not meet with the approval of the people at this time, and it should not. t
