Mechanical Difficulties in the "Wat.
-The directors of the City & Suburban
Railway Company have had the matter
of electrifying their line from Alblna to
St. Johns under consideration for some
time, but have not come to any definite
decision as yet. There are some difficul
ties in connection with carrying a direct
current from the company's power station,
near Inman, l'oulson & Co.'s mills, suffi
cient to operate a line to SL Johns, and a
uractlcable way of overcoming these diffi
culties has not yet been arrived at. The
company has purchased the rails for Its
proposed line on nrst street, and will
commence the construction of this line as
soon as practicable. Its franchise Is
from Madison street south across the
Marqiam-gulch bridge, and north from
Burnstde street to the Grand Central
Railway Station.

The Earth Trembled. A slight seismic
disturbance was felt in various parts of
Portland yesterday morning at 4:55 o'clock.
The shock was quite distinct, and seemed
to move from west to east. The self
registering rain gauge in the United States
Weather Bureau. In the tower of The
Oregonlan building, showed that it had
been disturbed at this time. This Is the
most sensitive Instrument in the Weather
Bureau, and as it was only disturbed to
show a precipitation of one-hundredth ot
an Inch, the shock was evidently a very
nllght one. So far as known the earth
quake was unaccompanied by any noise.
Biennial Card Craze. The candidate
card era is coming on again, and the
small boy has already begun his question,
"Got any 'lection tickets, mister?" As the

into the various cook stoves about the
city.

After May 15, there will be

have repudiated him. Mr. Storey Is In a
position to look for this vote, and Is open
to indorsement bv the good-cltlzenshlp
movement. If he has not already re
ceived it.
That he has determined to become a
candidate of the reformers was something
of a surprise to his friends, as he has not
hitherto been regarded as particularly
zealous In the work of purifying politics,
nor have the church people intimated that
they would flock to his support, should he
consent to become their candidate. Thing!
have taken such shape, however, that the
extremists, who believe that the only
means of combating vice Is the defeat of
the regular party candidates, however
clean these may be personally, will have
no one else to support, and for this rea
son, undoubtedlyt that Mr. Ballou saw
his way clear to promising Storey the re
form vote.
Whether or not the members of the
good-cltlzcns movement have Indorsed
Storey at any of their secret meetings la
not known: hut, if they have not, they
will probably do so very soon, as It Is
understood that he Is willing to stand on
whatever platform they may draw up for
the municipal campaign. He 1b Just now
very busy uniting to his support all his
personal friends, and a reporter who
sought him yesterday was unable to find
him in any of his accustomed haunts.
The friends of Mr. Ballou decline to sa
whether or not that potentate has prom
ised his Influence with the purifiers to
Storey, but Ballou himself Informed Ar
thur Cox. assistant secretary of the Y. M.
C. A., that he had made overtures to
Storey, and that he believed that Storey
would be the best man for the citizens to
support. He made a statement of a sim
ilar character to J. Thorburn Ross, and
Storey has openly announced that he had
a conference with Ballou In the rooms of
the Commercial Club, the purpose of
which was to make some arrangement by
which he (Storey) could become the cham
pion of the cause of reform without
"queering" himself with a certain element
In the North End whose vote he expected
to get In return for the liberal policy he
has maintained since he was elected to the
Council to succeed the late W. S. Mason.
Immediately after the Republican con
vention Mr. Storey announced that he
would he an Independent candidate for
Mayor, but later qualified this statement
by asserting that he would take this
course only In the event of the nomina
tion by the Democrats of R. D. Inman,
to whom he was friendly, and whose elec
tion he hoped to effect by drawing from
the support of Mr. Rowe. Nothing was
heard of his candidacy for some time
until tho reform movement began to grow,
when It was discovered that he was a
candidate for that nomination, should It
come his way. But the reformers, after
much Internecine warfare, the nature of
which has been made tolerably public,
decided not to put any candidates In the
field save for the Legislature, and to sup
port. If they supported any one, such In
dependent candidates as they might agree
upon. Now comes Storey as such a can
didate, and, so It Is stated, has said that
If he Is elected by this vote he will carry
out all their purposes and give tho city ai
straight-laced an administration as he Is
able. Ballou meanwhile Is keeping. In the
background for a time, but will undoubt
edly show- his hand when the proper time
comes, and throw all the vote that he con
trols Storey's way.

GOING AFTER L0CKW00D.
Repnbllcnn Club Haa a Stormy
Time Over the Secretary.
The Republican Club of Portland last
night held a stormy meeting at 2C7 Worces
ter Building, which had been called for
the election of president. It was evident
from tho start that a movement was on
foot to weed out the members who are
not straight Republicans. This brought
on a heated discussion, during which
charges were freely made that high offi
cers of the club were openly avowing
their Intention to knife the Republican
ticket, to the extent, at least, of support
ing certain Independent candidates for
city positions.
The executive committee, by whom the
officers of the club are chosen, held a ses
sion previous to the convening of tho
club, and when the club was called to
order, announced that C II. Prcscott had
been chosen president. The chair stated
that W. A. Storey, treasurer of the club,
had deemed It advlsabls to resign his
membership and position as treasurer. In
view of his Independent candidacy for
Mayor. His resignation was accepted.
The chair then asked who was the choice
of the Third ward to fill the place on the
executive board left vacant by the resig
nation of Storey. There were only two
members present from the First ward.
Each desired the place on the executive
hnnrrf for himself, and plainly said so.
As the representative of the ward on the
board, according to the constitution of the
club, had to be chosen by the members
from the wnrd, it was clear that no choice
could be arrived at- The matter was laid
over to tbe next meeting. In order to give
a larget representation a chance to be
present.
At this point. B. B. Rosenthal arose and
questioned the right of C. E. Lockwood.
the secretary of the club, to his place en
the executive committee. Ho contended
that at the last meeting, at which Lock
wood was declared elected, only two mem
bers from his ward cast ballots, one vot
ing for Lockwood and the other for Rosen
thal. Thlfl creating a tie, the chair cast
the deciding vote for Lockwood, which he
contended the chair had no right to do, at
only members from the ward from which
the representative on the executive com
mittee is chosen have a right to vote.
. This contest was evidently the bone pf
contention between the third-ward Re
publicans. It called forth warm words
from several speakers. W. M. Davla
brought the matter to a head by demand
ing of Secretary Lockwood whether or
not he had signed the petition of an In
dependent candidate (meaning Storey for
Mayor). Lockwood stated that he haa
done so, but he did not consider that he
was required, as a Republican, to sup
port the local nominees on the Republican
ticket, so long as he etood by the prin
ciples of tho Republican party.
Davis differed with him most emphat
ically. In an Impassioned speech, he de
nounced the practice of leaders In tho
party, who had been Instrumental in or
ganizing the Republican Club of Portland
for the purpose of promoting harmony In
tho party ranks, but who were coming
before the peonle as Fupportcrs of Inde
pendent candidates for office.
Others spoke with vigor on the same
point, saying that the resignation of one
man (Storey) hnd been accepted, and it
was quite In order for every member who
was not ready to stand by tho nominees
of the Republican party conventions to
take his hat and go.
A motion to recorHder the nctlon by
which Lockwood hnd been Irregularly
elected was carried amid much enthusi
asm. The members from the Third ward
retired to name a man In place of Lock
wood, but they failed to agree, and the
matter was l?t over to the next meet
ing. Tho club adjourned, subject to the
call of the executive commlttee.

PORTLAND. April 19. (To the Editor.)
The Oregonlan considered my view of
tho relative distribution and duration of
flowers In New England and Oregon "su
perficial." but It Is founded on 20 years'
obwrvatlon In Central Vermont. South
western New Hampshire and Northeastern
Massachusetts, and 23 years passed mainly
In the State of Washington, with one Au
tumn at Rainier, one at Portland, one at
Scllwood and one near Salem. Such pcarch
as I could make In throe localities has
resulted In the conclusion already given.
Of course, I have not upposcd that by
these limited researches I had become ac
quainted with all the flowers of Oregon
and Washington, nor yet of New England.
Oregon alone, with at least a third more
territory than all New England, ought to
make at least an equal showing. In my
former letter were mentioned favorites for
which neighboring fields and woods were
visited. I should like now to mention
what were to be found on the home farm
of 40 acres. Hepntlcas. purple trllllum,
yellow adder's-tongue. Spring beauty (larg
