HUMES IS ELECTED Seattle Makes Him Mayor for a Third Time. - HIS MAJORITY IS ABOUT 1000 Republican Use Knife on Humes, bat Spare Other Candidates, Who Alao Win Ordinance to Increase Lienor License Carries. SEATTLE, Wash.. March 4. Although there are many precincts still to be heard from, there exists no doubt at this time that Mayor Thomas J. Humes "was elected today by the voters of Seattle to succeed himself. It is believed that his majority over J. W. Godwin, the Democratic nom inee, will be between 700 and 1000. This small majority shows plainly that the Mayor was knifed by his own party. Two years ago he was elected over George F. CottcrlU, the Democratic candidate, by 1500 majority. At that time only about &000 votes were cast. The total vote cast today footed up more than 11.000. Of the increased vote, the bulk is conceded to be Republicans. Mayor Humes' victory today, however. Is greatest In his career. Never was a harder fight made on a candidate. The Post-Intelligencer, the leading Republican daily of the city, announced the morning following Mr. Humes' nomination that it would not support him. The Mayor was not disturbed in the least. He went into the campaign on his record, and left his fight to his manager, George U. Piper. The only pledge made by the Mayor wa3 to pursue the same policy he had since as suming office, if again given opportunity. The people today gave him that opportu nity. As was expected, the most serious cut ting against the Mayor developed In the most thickly settled residence wards of the city. In the Seventh Ward, where are many Republicans who have always been opposed to him politically, Godwin- was given a majority of the votes, this not withstanding the fact that the ward Is very strongly Republican. The Seattle Times, the local organ of Democracy, re peatedly alleged during the campaign that Humes had entered into a deal with Levi Ankeny, the Walla Walla candidate for the United States Senate, whereby he (Humes) should deliver tho King County delegation at the next session of the Leg islature - for Ankeny. Tmsundonbtcdly caused Humes to loso many votes, as King County Is strongly In favor of send ing a home man to the Senate to succeed George T,urner, the leading candidate at tho present time being Harold Preston. The church people made a quiet, but more or less effective, crusade against Mayor Humes, and last Sunday many pas tors exacted promises from members of their congregations that they would sup port Mr. Godwin. A feature of today's election was the carrying of the proposed city amendment increasing the present saloon license from $000 to J1000 a year. The amendment was strongly opposed by the saloon-keepers as an organization, who spent thousands of dollars to defeat It. They refused, It is said, to allow the Humes managers to handle the money, but Insisted on placing it where they believed it would do the most good. The proposed charter amend ment providing for tho construction of a municipal lighting plant also carried. The Republican ticket, with the possible ex ception of one or two Councllmen was elected. ' SEATTLE, March 5.-3 A. M. The indi cations at this hour are that Mayor Humes has been re-elected by a plurality of 500. REVISING PORTO RICO'S LAWS System, of Local Government Pro posed by Daly Commission. WASHINGTON, March 4. The commis. sion to revise and compile the laws of Porto Rico has. submitted Its report to the Attorney-General. The commission con sisted of Joseph F. Daly, of New York; L. S. Rowe, of Pennsylvania, and Juai Hernando Lopez, of Porto Rico. The worl undertaken was the revision and ' com pilation of practically all the old Spanish taws. The commission, after an exhaustive study of the Spanish system, proceeded to inakc the most necessary changes, such aa the reorganization of the Judicial sys tem and the system of local government, the revision of the laws of marriage and dlvorce-and wills and Intestacies, and a numbti of other important branches o the civil and criminal laws. The most Important work ot the commission was the revision of the organic act of Porto Rico, commonly known as the Forakei act. The system of local government pro posed by the commission Includes a coun ty, city and village organization. Under Spanish rule, local self-government was unknown. Briefly stated, the new system leaves to the local authorities the man. agement of local affairs, but prescribes a definite standard of efficiency in the most Important services, such as sanita tion, drainage, water supply, street clean, ing, etc. If the local government falls to meet these standards, the insular govern ment is given sufficient power to meet every emergency. The habeas corpus act is another of the Important changes pro posed by the commission. The subject of marriage and divorce is also fully treated. The Spanish civil code does not recognize divorce, although a separation proceeding is provided for. This branch if the law has been brought into close harmony with the system prevailing in such states as New York and Massachusetts. RESCUE WORK AT TELLURIDE One Hundred and Fifty- Men EnpaRed in Searching: for Bodies. TELLURIDE. Colo., March 4. Tho storm U over and 150 men are engaged today In searching for the bodies that arc buried under masses of snow and de bris. J. D. Cedarberg, who was listed among those killed In the slide at the Liberty Bell mine, last Friday, is alive and well. He was caught by the avalanche, but managed to dig hij way out and reach a place of safety. The only mine In the vicinity of Tellu- rlde that continues in operation is the Tomboy, and 500 miners are out of employment May Have Perished In a Slide. OURAY. Colo.. March 4. George Duvall. agent of the Colorado Telephone Company at Silverton, and Marlon Bell, a lineman, were at Ironton Sunday, and left for S1I, verton the same day. They have not been heard from slnco, and it is feared they have perished In a slide. No slides have occurred here during tho past 24 hours, but the stage road to Red Mountain is still blocked. Two feet of 'snow fell last night at the Camp Bird mine, and 10 Inches In this city. BENEFITS OF IRRIGATION. How the East Would Profit by Recla mation of the West. CHICAGO. March 4. J. a Braden, sec retary to the engineering board of the Chicago drainage canal, had for his guests today Judge Cornelius J. Gavin, of New Mexico, and J. M. Glenn, secretary of the Illinois Manufacturers' Association, in a. trip down the drainage canal, and an in spection of the bear-trap dam. The se cret of this excursion lies in the fact that Mr. Gavin, one of the supporters of Sec- r- THOMAS SEATTLE ELECTS HIM MAYOR retary of the Treasury Shaw, at the Na tional Business Men's League last Thurs day night, together with Secretary Shaw, made a strong argument for the Presi dent's reservoir policy for the appropri ation of money for the erection of immense dams throughout the West In the moun tain region for the storage of water lor Irrigation purposes. In his speech Judge Gavin showed clearly the benefits that would accrue to the busi ness Interests of Chicago, Including the manufucturers, by the development and settlement of the arid lands of the West. Secretary Glenn explained fully the close relation between the manufacturers of this city and state with tho Western country. Mr. Glenn believes that Irrigation and -.e reclaiming of arid lands of the mountain region would result in great and unlimited benefit to the manufacturing Interests of the East. Said he: "Estimating that 100,000,000 acres of lanu can be reclaimed to make the most fertile farming lands in the world, we would have an acreage equal In amount to three states the size of Illinois, capable of containing and supporting a population of' 10,000,000 people, who would be purchasers and con sumers of the manufactured products of the East. To the manufacturers of Illi nois this is of great importance, in view of Its close relation and proximity to this newly opened territory. A great demand would be created for machinery In partic ular. Not alone would the manufacturers benefit, for a great incomprehensible de mand would be created for manufactured goods of almost every description, and a great held opened for the large mercantile interests of Chicago and the East." COLOMBIA'S MANY TROUBLES Troops Drawn From the Isthmus to Protect the Interior.. WASHINGTON, March 4. Advices from the seat of war In South America arc meager. Nothing has been heard of the reported insurgent naval operations on the coast of Venezuela. Reports from Co lombia show that the government is thor oughly awakened to the formidable char acter of the revolutionary outbreak near the capital, and that a large body of troops has been hastily ordered from the north to assist In the defense of the cap. Ital. This may have a considerable Influ ence on the campaign on the isthmus of Panama. The report came from United States Minister Hart at Bogota, and In substance stated that 5000 of the best sol diers in. Colombia had reinforced the gov ernment troops near Bogota. Fighting had continued for some days, but reliable details had not been received. American Captured by Rebels. NEW YORK, March 4. Having been de tained on a Colombian rebel gunboat for nearly a month in spite of repeated pro tests, Frederick E. Walker, of Pontlac. Mich., has landed here from the steamer Orizaba from Colon. Mr. Walker says he went to South America to look over mining properties. He left Panama January 3 on the Gov ernment schooner San Juan, which car ried two soldiers with dispatches for Gen eral Castro. The vessel was bound for Agua Dulce, a town on the coast, and got within 10 miles of it when the rebel gunboat came along and made all hands prisoners. Ne-w Governor of the Isthmns. PANAMA, March 4. General Salazar, the recently appointed Governor of tho Isthmus, arrived here this afternoon. He was given a notable and enthusiastic re ception. General Salazar will at once begin an active campaign against the rev olutionists. The United States cruiser Philadelphia left this mornins: for GuayaauIL Ecuador. ibbbbbbbibbbbbhEsiSKpS?

ECONOMY GIVEN AS REASON Quartermaster-General's Letter to Scnntor Mitchell Isthmian Canal Advocates Encouraged by Sub committee's Panama Report. WASHINGTON, March 4. The Quarter master's Department Intends that In fu ture all troops going to or returning from the Philippines shall pass through San J. HUMES. FOR. THIRD CONSECUTIVE TERM. .... ..rTTTttttl)l,tttt Francisco, and not sail from or land at Portland or other Northern Pacific ports. This statement was made In substance to day in a letter received by Senator Mitch ell from the War Department. At the same time the Quartermaster's Depart ment states that it will give a fair share of supply business to the North Pacific, and continue to purchase hay, oats, fod der and some food supplies In Oregon and Washington. Some days ago Senator Mitchell laid before the department a re quest from the Portland Chamber of Com merce that he use his Influence to secure for Portland some of the regular trana port business, both In the way of convey ing troops and furnishing commissary sup plies, such as flour, potatoes, meats and general stores, which can at all times bo furnished in Portland on equal terms with San Francisco, and on such Items as flour and potatoes at a material reduction. Be sides, It Is contended that it Is only a matter of right and Justice to the farm ers and producers of that district that they be given an opportunity to sharo in any markets the Government demand may create. In reply to this letter, the Senator to day received a stntement from Quartermaster-General Ludlngton. saying the de partment recently purchased in Portland two cargoes of forage, hay and oats, for the Philippines, one cargo of which was shipped from that port on the steamship Margherlta, February l. and another ship, the Quito, would be loaded and sail early In March. "Since the occupation of the Philip pines," he continues, "forage and lumber required in those islands hai-e been pur chased in the markets of Portland, Se attle and Tacoma, and the shipments of these supplies have been divided between Portland and Puget Sound ports as equal ly as practicable. The purchase of flour, potatoes and meats is made by the Sub sistence Department, and their transpor tation Is furnished by the Quartermaster Department from places of purchase to the Army. The troop transports sailing from San Francisco have capacity for carrying large quantities of freight, and it Is necessary to afford proper ballast for the vessels. This freight, as ballast, is largely in the Interest of economy, as the supplies of the Army are virtually transported without cost to the depart ment. San Francisco is the headquarters of the Army transport service on tho Pa cific Coast, at which place there Is every facility for the accommodation and care of the troops arriving from or awaiting transportation to the Philippines. It also affords every facility for the fitting up or repairing of the Army transports in the most expeditious manner, and the trans fer of service in connection with the trans portation of troops to Portland would not, in the opinion of the Quartermaster-General, be in the interest of the service." The commissary, in commenting on Sen ator Mitchell's letter, said: "Whenever any transport leaves Portland or Seattle we supply her with all the stores, whether for the troops In transit or for the ship's crew at those places. Furthermore, all the supplies for that geographical depart ment, also for Alaska, are purchased In those markets when it is to the advantage of the United States." First OrilM to Sevrard Stand. Senator Mitchell today received a let ter from the Quartermaster-General stat ing that inasmuch as the shipyards of Portland do not afford facilities for safely docking the transport Seward, the orig inal orders for the ship to proceed to Se attle for repairs are being carried out. The second report of General Randall stated that the Seward should be placed in drydock, and that to have her on the ways the only means the shipyards of Portland have of repairing the boat would cause more or less injury to the ship, nichardson "Will Quit. Representative Richardson announces that he will not again be chairman of the Democratic Congressional campaign com mittee. He has managed tlo campaign for two defeats. Canal Advocates Encouraged. Advocates of an Isthmian canal are feel ing very much encouraged over the action of the subcommittee yesterday in declar ing the legal complications surrounding Panama Insurmountable. It is believed this legal question may cause consider able discussion, but Senators who have examined the case are coming to tho view taken by Senator Mitchell, that no lawyer can become informed of the facts and then support the Panama canal project. Fight on Chinese Exclunlon. Indications are that there will be very strong opposition to the Mltchell-Kahn Chinese exclusion bill, and several East ern Senators will insist upon the bill being materially amended before it is passed. In fact, this opposition has become so pro nounced that it Is more than probable that a compromlso will have to be effect ed which will be of the nature of extend ing the Geary law. Opponents of the bill are even objecting to extending the Geary law further than the life of the present Chinese treaty. The Western men have consented to some modifications of the bill, especially of those provisions relat ing to Chinese sailors and the treatment of Chinese In transit through this country. Hannn. as Presidential Timber. Senators are talking a good deal about Hanna as a Presidential candidate, and are using his remarks at the Ohio banquet at New York Saturday night as a basis for booming Hanna for the Presidency. Hanna at that time took strong grounds in favor of doing more for the working men of the country, and insisted that capital and labor must agree. By some his speech Is considered a direct bid for the Presidency, and the politicians are taking It up with considerable Interest. In Behnlf of Oregon Harbors. Representative Tongue has secured an authorization in the rivers and harbors bill for a re-examlnatlon of the Umpqua River, with a view to ascertaining wheth er there is sufficient commerce to Justify the expenditure of further Government funds in its improvement. He also se cured the authorization of a survey of the bank, of the Willamette opposite Al bany to ascertain whether there la dan ger of the river changing Its course, and to what extent such a change would in jure navigation. Land for Idaho. Senator Heltf eld's bill .granting to the State'of Idaho"a tract of land on the,Fort Hall reservation containing hot mineral springs, was favorably reported to the Senate today. Nominations Favorably Reported. The public lands committee of the Sen ate today favorably reported on the nomi nations of J. O'B. Scobe to be receiver of the Olympla Land Office, and Joseph L. Mohundro, to be register of the land office at Walla Walla. For Edncation in Alaska.

Addresses of welcome were made by Governor Orman and Mayor Wright, of this city, and a response by A. C. Cleveland, of Nevada. President Lusk's annual address was de voted largely to the question of leasing the public domain. He advocated the enact ment by Congress of a law to regulate the matter. "Untold harm Is being done to cattlemen," he said, "by the free use of the public lands for grazing purposes." The Colorado Cattle-Growers' Conven tion postponed consideration of the leasing question this morning In order to confer with the other association before taking action. It was voted to assess each cow and horse represented in the association 2 cents a year, sheep In proportion.

A mob of 600 strike sympathizers today held the streets of Norfolk on which the main line of the Norfolk Railway & Light Company's car3 are run, and the police were unable to cope with it from noon until after dark, when the cars, which were guarded by de tachments of military and had run with difficulty all day, were housed in the barns. Car3 were repeatedly derailed, wagon-loads of stones were piled on the tracks, and free fights between the mili tary guards and the crowd occurred at frequent Intervals. In one difficulty, a Sergeant ran a bay onet Into the arm of H. H. Harmansef, a barber. Mrs. Harmansef, who was stand ing by her husband, at the time, knocked tho Sergeant to the ground with both fists and discolored the face of Lieutenant E. R. Gale, who was near her.
