Is searing com pletion, but tho local eitlsens, who are advocating removal, declare the county can well afford to loss the cost If tbe officers and court can b moved to Grays Harbor. Tho plan now prepared and tho one which probably will be adopted Is to organise a county-seat removal club, which will handle the campaign. Ac tion on the plan cannot be secured un til the next general election In 111. but In the meantime the advocates of removal plan to get their lines well laid and to prepare and circulate peti tions and get them signed by a suffi cient number of voters to fores putting the matter up for approval at the election. The plan as now outlined Is to have a salaried secretary for the Hub. whose duty It will bo to devote bis time to the Interests of county-seat removal and work much in the same way that a secretary of a commercial organlxa tl n does, thus making It a well organ ised effort. Prominent men of both Aberdeen and ltooulam are behind the movement and declare they will not let the question drop until they have secured tho re moval or the county seal.

Flora Sackvllle- West. a daughter of the ex-Brltlsh Minister at Washington, has adopted the profession of her mother, Josefa Duran de Ortaga. the Spanish dancer. The first press announcement of her approaching debut described her aa tho "Hon. Flora Packvllle-West. daughter of the late Lord Sackvllle."

More letters re ferring to tho projected Improvements at Boeton Harbor and Birmingham were read today In the trial of Clar ence D. HUlman. millionaire townslta nromoter. accused of using the malls to defraud. HUlman was on the stand all day and amplified hla testimony by In troducing the correspondence ho had had with Eastern capitalists and pro moters with reference to his Puget Sound projects. One letter was read rrom U- a. otone. of tho Stone Webster Engineering Corporation of Boston. In which Mr. Stone said HUlman's Boston - Harbor plans sounded feasible, but added that It waa unfortunate that Boeton Harbor was not nearer Tscoma. Correspond ence with railway supply men from whom HUlman said he Intended buying; equipment for his rallwsy from Boston Harbor to Clympla was also introduced. the lips of the President himself, came the admission lsto in the day that the President had abandoned all hope of the passage of the Canadian reciprocity agreement, and awaited only the formal announcement of Us failure to Issue the order for an extra session. The Presi dent gavs little outward eJgns of his disappointment, though It Is known to be rather keen. He went to tho theater to enjoy a light opera. Ths date of the extra session has not been fixed definitely. The Democrats want It deferred until April; tho Republi cans wsnt It to start. If start it must, as soon as possible. At the White Houne today. It was Intimated rather positively that the date the President had In find was March IS. Rumor) of every degree of excitement and consequent absurdity marked tho day. It was suggested, for Instance, that President Taft had decided to withdraw the Canadian agreement and resume ne gotiations with Csnada so ss to obviate the necessity for an extra sewlon. All rumors played out. however, and left only the practical certainty that the new Congress will begin Its work as this one did wtth sn extra seeslon de voted to the question of the tariff. f)prUter-elect Champ Clark, of Mis souri. In a talk with Mr. Taft today, advised the President that If he pur posed calling an extra eesilon be should Issue hla call tomorrow, so thst Repreaentatlvea-elect and Senators might know Just what to expect.

FIGHT FOR F01TD FATAL STARVIXG CHINESE TRAMPLED TO DEATH IX 6TRVGGLE. Distribution of Relief by Mission- arles Starts Riots In Which X 1 Meet Horrible Death. HANKOW, China. March (.Twenty one persons were trampled to death at Sha Tang, Hupeh Province, today, when a horde of starving Chinese fought for the food which missionaries were at tempting to distribute. Many others were injured. The work of relief Is attended with some peril to those who have taken sup plies Into the famine districts, as tho natives in many Instances are mad from deprivations. A considerable amount of foodstuff was received today by the missionaries, who Immediately planned a systematic dis tribution. Their work wss hardly begun before thousands of desperate men. women and children, when they learned that there was a chance of hunger be ing half satisfied, swooped down on the supply depot. An uncontrollable riot followed. Each fought for himself and the weaker went down and were ruthlessly trampled. The fighting continued as long as there ap peared to be anything to fight for. The missionaries were helpless. Hupeh Province In Central China is the scene of a famine, the number of the victims of which is so great that the authorities do not attempt an esti mate of the thousands who have already perished. Dr. Samuel Cochran, an Amer ican engaged in the work of relief, has written saying 1.000.000 persons will die before the next crop Is harvested. The province has a population of s,- 000,000. Bands of famished persons roam about preying upon others so fortunate aa to have any sustenance. Sha Yang is in the center of iiupen and 130 miles west of Hankow, and has a population of about 80,000. DIKE PROTECTION . ISSUE fnlted States and Mexico Conferring on Guarding River Work. WASHINGTON.
