The mouth of the Columbia se cures 5100,000 more cash than last year, and The Dalles and Seattle canals are both granted greater recognition than In the last bill. The following are the ap proprlatione for Oregon and Washington: Mouth of Columbia,, cash for continuing Improvement, $55Q,00; for authorized con tracts, $1,000,000; Lower Willamette and Columbia below Portland, for continu ance, $50,000; for the construction of a dredge, $175,000; gauging Columbia River, $1000; Tillamook Bay and bar, main tenance and completing Improvements, $27,000; Coos Bay, maintenance and con tinuing Improvements, $10.00Q; Coquille, continuing Improvements from Coquille City to the mouth, $30,000; Coos River, maintenance, $2000; Sluslaw, continuing Improvements, with re-eramlnation or ex isting project, $26,000. Columbia River, at the Cascades, completing locks, $30,000; Upper Columbia and Snake Rivers, $25,250. To this latter Item is added $12,750 trans-, ferred from unexpended funds for the im provement of the Clearwater, making a total of $37,754 82. Of this, $10,000 Is to be expended for the improvement of the Snake River above Lewiston. The Willamette River above Portland and Yamhill River get $6S,000, of which $37,500 is to be used in the construction or" revetments opposite Corvallis and below Independence. The appropriations for the Columbia River are to be for continuing the im provements according to the present ap proved plan with such modifications as may be approved by the Secretary of War, the estimated cost of said Improve ments not to be increased. Washington Items. Washington items on the bill are: Puget Sound and tributaries, $15,000; Swl nomish Slough, $30,000; Cowlitz and Lewis Rivers. $9500; Okanogan and Pend d'Or lclle, $10,000; examination and surveys, in spection bridges, etc.. In Washington, $250, 000; emergency fund, $200,000; Olympla harbor, $25,000; Tacoma harbor, $75,000; Whatcom harbor, $25,000; Gray's Harbor and Chehalis River, 550,000. The committee allows $160,000 for the Se attle, Shilshole and Salmon Bays, along the route of the proposed Lake Washing ton waterway, and authorizes a survey to finally determine which route shall be adopted for the canal, and an estimate of the cost of such canal. The following sums were available and unexpended for the Improvement of Ore gon rivers and harbors at the beginning of the present fiscal year: Columbia and Willamette below Port land, $72,790; Columbia below Tongue Point, $63,744; mouth of Columbia River, $00,512; Dalles and Celllo Rapids, $214,476. The committee is satisfied that the amount allowed the mouth of the Colum bia ife sufficient to continue the- work until another bill is passed. Upon motion of Representative Tongue this project was modified with the approval of the Sec retary of War, and will give General Gil lespie an opportunity to pass upon the suggestion of Hon. M. C. George for changing the channel. The Dalles Boat Railway. The provision for the construction of The Dalles boat railway was- reported. A Board of Engineers is required to make a re-examination and survey, with a view to a new project for the construction of locks and canal, and to ascertain whether the same cannot be constructed at a less cost than under the plans drawn by Cap tain Harts. The expense of the survey is. to be paid out of funds on hand, and the remainder of the $214,467 to be retained for the construction of such canal and locks when an approved plan has been provided. There is a most friendly feeling ex pressed by the committee toward The Dalles canal, and the retention of the money from the boat-railway scheme is regarded as a committal of the canal proposition as much as the present com mittee can commit Itself to this improve ment. It was with difficulty that Representa tive Tongue secured a re-examination of the Sluslaw, and a small appropriation for Coos Bay, as the committee was set against both projects. The total carried by the measure com pleted today is $30,700,000. Of this total $24,000,000 is in cash and $36,700,000 Is In con tinuing contracts available July 1, 1903. The total is about $2,000,000 more than the bill which was "talked to death" during the final hours of the last Congress. Among the Items In the bill Is one of $200, 000 for the survey for a deep-water chan nel from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi River, utilizing the Chicago drainage ca nal, and thence to the Gulf. The appro, priatlons for California harbors are as follows: San Diego, $75,000. and continu ing contracts, $192,850; Wilmington, $250,000; San Luis Obispo, $50,000; Oakland, $100,000; Blossom Rock, Karquines Straits, $100,000, and continuing contracts, $251,000. Good, for Nicaragua Canal. The comment in Congressional circles is to the effect that it ought to clear the way now for the Nicaragua bill. Rep resentative Hepburn says it shows that the canal company never had anything of a valid nature to sell. He agrees with Senator Mitchell that to purchase the Panama Canal would involve the United States in endless litigation and compli cations, and would delay the canal for years. It is very unfortunate that Sen ator Morgan has held up the canal bill so long. The new ship-subsidy bill, with a long debate ahead, will still further delay the canal bill wbten it is reported. Morgan, being a Democrat, does not rec ognize a Republican "steering" commit tee, and has made no application to that body for a place in the canal considera tion. Senator Turner Coming; Home. Senator Turner leaves for the West Tuesday. He is going to look after ex tensive mining interests, so it Is an nounced here, but it is expected that he will also look after his political interests. Mitchell's Resolution Adopted. The Senate today adopted the following resolution, offered by Senator Mitchell: Resolved, That the Secretary of the Interior be and he la hereby directed to transmit to the Senate, at his earliest convenience, a copy of the report of Special Agent C. E. Loomls, re cently submitted to the Commissioner ot the General Land Office. In the matter of the claims of settlers on lands of the Eastern Ore egon Land Company, successors in interest of "The Dalles Military Road Company, in Sher man Count-, Oregon, together with the evi dence accompanying said report, and also copies of all claims of settlers to lands, or for compensation for lands within the limits of the controversy between settlers and said Eastern Oregon Land Company. Vancouver Army Post There to Stay. Representative Moody today had a let ter, in response to his personal visits and letters of a few days ago, stating posi tively that the War Department does not contemplate the removal of the headquar ters of the Department of the Columbia from "Vancouver Barracks to either Port land or Seattle. Oregoa Provided For. The omnibus claims bill, passed by the Senate today, carried all of the Oregon and Waahlngton Items heretofore enumer ated In these dispatches. CHARLESTON'S INVITATION. City Council Supplements Exposi tion's Letter to Roosevelt. CHARLESTON, S. C, March L Sup plementary to the resolution passed by the exposition board of directors last night, renewing the invitation to Presi dent Roosevelt to visit Charleston, and also disclaiming any respbnslblllty or sympathy for Lieutenant-Governor Till man's action in regard to the presenta tion of a sword to Major Jenkins, the City Council today passed a resolution repeating the Invitations already extend ed by the city, and appointed a special committee to present the resolutions to President Roosevelt and to express to him the earnest desire of the people of Charleston that he visit the city. TILLMAN'S INTERVIEW. New York Senator Will Advise the President Not to Go. NEW YORK, March 1. The Times will say tomorrow: "Senator B. R, Tillman, of South Caro lina, was a caller on Senator Piatt at the Fifth-Avenue Hotel yesterday (Saturday). The talk lasted over half an hour. One of the principal topics of conversation was the proposed visit of President Roosevelt to the Charleston Exposition. Senator Tillman is said to have been very explicit in his assertion that it would not be po litic for President Roosevelt to make a visit to South Carolina, owing to the state cf public feeling there over the Tlllman McLaurin incident and the withdrawal of President Roosevelt's Invitation to the Senator to meet Prince Henry at dinner at the White House, which was followed by the telegram from Lieutenant-Governor Tillman, of South Carolina, canceling the Invitation to the President to present a sword to Major Micah Jenkins. "Senator Piatt, when asked about the interv'ew, said: " I have had a talk with Senator Till man. The facts which have been brought to my attention will be laid before Presi dent Roosevelt. I shall advise the Presi dent not to go to Charleston. 'Senator Piatt declined to discuss the matter further." The President Is Noncommittal. WASHDSGTON. March 1. Ex-Senator M. S. Butler, of South Carolina, called on the President today to express the earnest hope that the Tillman-McLaurin episode and the letter of Lieutenant-Governor Tillman would not interfere with the President's plans for visiting the Charles ton Exposition. The President replied that Lieutenant - Governor Tillman's letter will have no effect on his course, but did not say definitely whether he proposed to make the trip to Charleston or not, Jenkins Declines to Accept It. TRENTON, S. C. March L Major aiicah J. Jenkins has declined to accept the sword which It was proposed to pre sent to him at Charleston, S. C, when the President visits that place. Major Jenkins, who is a member of the faculty of the Bethel Military Academy, has sent the following telegram to Lieutenant Governor Tillman, of South Carolina: "You are represented in the press as having telegraphed President Roosevelt, at the request of subscribers to the sword recently offered me through you, request ing him to withdraw his acceptance to pre sent same. If this be so, I must decline, under these circumstances, to accept the sword. Thanking you for your personal kindness in the matter, I am," etc. Fishermen Not in Danger.

CINCINNATI. O.. March 1. Prince Henry of Prussia traversed the States of Maryland, Pennsylvania and Ohio today, and tonight his special train is speed ing through Kentucky into Tennessee, with the battle-fields around Chattanooga as its final Southern goaL He stopped for formal receptions at Altoona, Pittsburg, Columbus and CIn- j clnnatl, but the welcome extended to him was not limited to these places. Everywhere along the line after day light came and until long after dark ness, the people gathered at the sta tions to cheer him as he sped along. The storm that swelled the rivers to tho danger point had passed away and he saw a zone of three states in bright sun light. He saw a stretch of 50 miles of the Allegheny Mountains from the cab of an engine and most of It was down grade at a speed that thrilled. Tho train had lost two hours at Portage, by reason of a wreck to the westward of that point, and when the special got a clear track again, an attempt was made to win back the time that hadbeen lost. At times the swaying engine was running 60. miles an hour, and when the Prince left the cab he was almost as grimy as the engineer. When not responding to the receptions he was busy sightseeing and studying a map which had been set up In his car. He asked many questions as to tho industries of Pennsylvania and Ohio and made extended notes on the margin of the map. He was very enthusiastic over the events of the day and it was late in the afternoon when he retired to rest before giving the evening recep tions. He dined at 7 o'clock in the even ing and while he and his guests were at the table the speed of the train was cut down to 40 miles an hour. His guests at dinner were Admiral Evans, Ambas sador von Holleben, Major-General Cor bln, Assistant Secretary of Stato Hill, Carl Polller, German Consul at Cincin nati; Superintendent Ralph Peters, of the Panhandle, and Lieutenant-Commander von Egidy. Tho Prince left tho dining table to ac knowledge the cheers of a small crowd that had gathered about a water tank outside of Xenia. They numbered less than 50, but when the Prince heard that they wanted to see him, he obligingly left the table and went to the rear plat form. He bowed to the little crowd and then waved his nap"kln, which he had carried out with him. Much of the time lost at Portage, Pa., was made up In Ohio, and unless there A, . -' are unforeseen delays, the train will re gain Its position on the schedule during the night IN AN ENGINE CAB. The Prince Thrilling Ride Through the Mountains. PORTAGE, Pa., March 1. The special train which is taking Prince Henry and his party to the West and South was well on Its Journey through Pennsylvania when daylight came. It had covered tho run from Washington to Harrlsburg over the Northern Central line, and had there swung onto the main line of the Penn sylvania road. The night's run had put the storm of yesterday far behind, and the new day broke bright and warm. The first halt of the morning was made at Altoona, where a committee of citi zens presented an address of welcome. The Prince thanked them, and then went outside to acknowledge the cheers of a large crowd gathered on the depot grounds. The local band was also on hand, and filled in the rest of a 10-minuto stop with a serenade of popular music There was a rousing cheer as tho train steamed out of the depot. After breakfast the Prince got hl3 promised ride through the mountains in the cab of the engine. J. W. Gilchrist was at the throttle as engineer, and the fireman was H. C. Palmer. The Prince shook hands with them, and, taking the engineer's seat, directed that the train be sent ahead. The run was through a wild section of the Alleghcnles, and tho Prince was very enthusiastic over tho rldo and scenery. The Prince Henry special is held here by a freight wreck two miles west. It is Indefinite how long- It will be held. Prince Henry left the engine, and a shabbily dressed man, said to be a harm less local character, attempted to ap proach him, but secret service men stopped him and turned him away. It is doubted that he had any intent other than to see the Prince. Portage Is near the summit of the Alle gheny Mountains. View of a Burning "Wreck. JOHNSTOWN, Pa,, March 1. Prince Henry's special was held at Portage for one hour and 50 minutes until the wreck ago ahead was cleared away, and it was 11 o'clock before it was again in motion. Prince Henry, who spent most of the day in 'his private car, again went for ward and re-entered the engine. He hurried forward as he neared the engine, and Mr. Boyd, of tho Pennsylvania Rail road, who was with .him, said: "There is no hurry, sir; take your time to get In." "I do not wish to keep you waiting," answered the Prince, as he jumped into the cab. The special was run by the wreck at slow speed, and the 'Prince leaned from the cab window, watching the burning cars as he passed. Clear of the wreck tho speed of the train was greatly increased, and the train officials expressed the hope that they would be able to make up most of the time lost before the end of the day. Sixty Miles an Honr. PITTSBURG. March 1. It waa down grade for nearly all the way Into Pitts burg, and whenever there were stretches of good running Engineer Gilchrist let his big engine out. The highest speed" attained was about 60 miles an hour, and the ride which the Prince got down through the foothills in the huge, sway ing engine was an exciting one. At a speed of 40 miles an hour the train cleared Johnstown, and the crowd that (Concluded on Second Page.) AM UP! Here, like a Roman statue, will I stand Till death hath made me marble! NEHALEM LINE A GO Bondbuyers Wire Accept ance of Terms. WORK BEGINS BEFORE MAY 1 Money "Will Be Immediately Placed in the Bank Exact Route Has Not Yet Been. Dis closed. -- The railroad to the Nehalem Is a cer tainty. The bonds have been eold, and a large sum of money will be placed Immediately In bank. The road must be completed -within two years. The exact route Is not yet disclosed. Terms for the sale of the bonds for con struction of the Nehalem Railroad were settled yesterday afternoon, the bond buyers accepting the contract offered by the Portland, Nehalem & Tillamook Rail way Company. The bonds are to be taken in the East. The principals telegraphed authority for their Portland agent to sign the contract. A large sum of money is to be put in a Portland bank Immedlately for construction of the line. The work Is to begin before May 1, and the entire SS miles of railroad are to be completed and In operation within two years. The bonds, $18,000 per mile, will bring 97 cents on the dollar, and the bondholders will become stockholders. All" this was finally agreed upon at a meeting of the executive committee of the company with- the agent of the bondholders that closed a little before 6 o'clock last night. While all these matters have been defi nitely agreed upon, the company will not finally bind Itself until the principals who are to take the bonds shall actually sign the contract. Telegraphic authority is not deemed sufficient for all the possi bilities of such a transaction. It will take 10 days or so to get this detail covered. The company has no anxiety about the completion of this matter, for another bidder stands ready to take the bonds. On the terms offered, these bonds are deemed very desirable and capitalists are .glad to get hold of them, particularly capitalists who may desire access to large tracts of valuable timber. This railroad will start from Portland, over a route not yet made nubile Wheth- I er the main line will go to Nehalem Bay ! or to Tillamook Bay has not yet been : fully determined, and It Is not a matter of Imuch Importance, for in either case a branch line will be built to the other point. The S3 miles will Jmlld the main line to either of the coast terminals. The country has been thoroughly reconnoltered and the accurate locating of the railroad line is not now a question of much diffi culty. It will be built where It will serve the greatest volume of traffic to the best advantage. The agent of the bondbuyers said last night that arrangements had already been made to let the construction con tract, and that the work would be poshed with unusual vigor until the first 20 miles should be completed. But the time allowance of two years for building the entire line will not permit of much lagging at any stage of the enterprise. A number of details are withheld be cause of the embarrassments that pub licity might bring In the matter of se curing right of way and in other particu lars. But the contract is clospd, and proceedings under it have already been begun. The Nehalem Railroad is about to . become a reality. REBELLION IN CHINA. Missionaries Asked to Leave Nan king Under illlltary Escort. WASHINGTON. March 1. The State Department today made public the fol lowing cablegram from Consul McWade, at Canton, China, dated February 27, reporting the outbreak of a rebellion at Nanking. "I learned almost at midnight that a rebellion had broken out at Nanking, in the Province of Kwang Si. At the re quest of the Governor of Kwang Si, the missionaries were asked to leave im mediately, under a pledged escort, to be taken to Wuchow. Details later." Situation I Grave. PEICIN, March 1. The Chinese Foreign Offlco now admits that the rebellion in the vicinity of the City of Nanking, Province of Kwang SI, 70 miles north of the Gulf of Tonquin, is very grave, though this was denied yesterday. Over 1000 ex-soldlera are engaged in pillaging. An edict has been issued commanding the Chinese authorities to afford protec tion to the missionaries and other for eigners. Mr. Conger, the United States Minister, has notified Prince Ching, head of the Foreign Office, that he expects China will speedily suppress the rebel lion and protect the foreigners in that part of the country. Only n Bluff. LONDON, March 1. Cabling from Pe kln, the correspondent of the Times says he ha3 reason to believe that the agree ments granting Russia exclusive mining and other concessions In Manchuria were with imperial consent ratified by Li Hung Chang long ago. and that the re cent Russo-Chinese Bank negotiations were only devised to hoodwink the pow ers. Bishop Potter on Sunday Question. NEW YORK, March 1. Speaking on the Sunday question before the Outlook Club, of Montclalr, N. J., Bishop Henry C. Pot ter, of New York, made a plea for a sub stitute for the saloon and denounced pro hibition as futile. "Over and over again it has been said by the advocates of prohibition that the saloon is not the poor man's club," said the bishop. "You may cry that until you are black In the face, but the fact still remains. The great English reform is the central public-house trust, created for the purpose of controlling the administration of the public house. Curiously enough, we have not recognized the remarkable suc cess of this organization." Wnldeck-Roussenu's Condition. PARIS. March 1. The Premier, M. Waldeck-Rosseau, whose carriage was overturned in a collision with a street car last night, passed a feverish night. He complained this morning of great pain In the shoulder. President Loubet called at the Premier's residence today, but the physician In attendance forbade his admission to the sickroom. An offi cial bulletin issued this evening says M. Waldeck-Rosseau's condition has Im proved materially and Is now satisfactory. SUMMARY OF THE DAY'S NEWS. Congress.

Referring to the foregoing results, a supporter of the Moody ticket states that he attributes the support given William son In his county to the bitterness of the fight put up by Moody's enemies. "Through this means," he continued, "the vote against Moody was forced to an un usual limit, although at no time were his real interests jeopardized. "The fight was centered in the large precincts about The Dalles, whereas the smaller precincts have been left com paratively to themselves. In Dufur, where a primary meeting was held, the Moody delegates were elected by acclamation. "The contest In The Dalles was unpre cedented, and, considering the fight put up by the opponents of Moody, the town results are highly gratifying to his friends, especially considering the fact that Moody has remained at his post ot duty, leaving his fate entirely In tha hands of his friends." Williamson Talks. Senator Williamson said tonight: "I consider that my friends made a good showing In Wasco County. It is one thing to talk about unhorsing a livo Congressman In his own home county and quite another thing to do it. Under the circumstances I do not see how any other construction can be put upon tho result than that I received handsome sup port in Wasco County. Take Antelopo .precinct, for example. I lost it by one vote. In The Dalles, a city of 5000 Inhab itants, I lost by less than 20 votes. I do not consider my chances for nomination materially Impaired by the result in Was co County." BEYOND AMERICAN LAW. Northern Securities Company Seeks a Charter in Canada. MONTREAL, March 1. Application has been made at Ottawa for a Dominion charter for a company called the North ern Securities Company, with a nominal capital of $1,000,000. The incorporators are members of the legal firm of McGlb bon, Casgrain, Ryan & Mitchell. Tho company, however, is the same as the American concern organized by James J. Hill. The Incorporation of the company In Canada is regarded by the leading lawyers of Montreal as placing the pow er beyond the reach of a United States Court. The company will be enabled to fulfill in every respect the purposes for wnlch It was organized and if so de sired It will be enabled to offer its se curities for sale on the exchanges In tho same manner and with the same free dom now enjoyed by a score of com mercial institutions coming under Ca nadian charters. Venezuela Repels an Invasion. WILLEMSTAD, March 1.
