VK'TORIA. R C. AurU 1R. Piirthor ln
fninirttlon recoivod today from CHrrnaimli
i'olm shows tli ut disaster has oreiirrrd
to sonic wooden vest'l. An (nvetiKatlon
mtidu todny ly a fmtrol sent thoro by ro-qut-st
of the Associated PrcSfl showed the
portion of it ship's hull scattered along
the beach to the west of Oarmanah.
Some further wreckage is also conilnK
ashore to the east ward, where the flot
sam previously reported was washed on
tim rocks.
In addition to that previously reported,
a cahln door of mahogany with maple
venlilHtin panels and some empty whiskv
cases, which alone of all the wreckage
littered the shore line bear any mark, has
come ashore. -The whisky cases are
marked "Mackay A White."
Two wooden vessels are due here, the
Alex. Gibson. 14 days from San Francisco,
in ballast for Nanalino to load coal for
Alaska, and the V. F. Hnbeoek. TS days
out from Sydney with a earjro of coke for
Orofton, both Hath-built merican wooden
ships. If the disaster has occurred to the
latter vessel It is considered that part of
her earjro of coke would have floated
ashore. There are also a number of other
vessels due, nil steel, and a number of
roasting schooners.
The nature of the wreckage found seems
to preclude any possibility of the victim
of the disaster being a metal vessel. That
the wreck is an old vessel is evident from
the description of the teak wood bttts
with copper capping found among the
wreckage littered east of Carmanah.
Shipping men point out that the teak
wood hilts would only be found upon a
vessel of old construction.
KKiEXE TO BUY WATER PLANT
Votes at Special Kleelion to Acquire
Its Own Water System.
Kl'GKXK. Or.. April 18. (fecial.) In
the special city election held here today
the amendment for the purchase of the
Willamtte Valley Company's water plant
carried. 6T. for and l'Jo against.
The vote f o r the is s u a n t e of $: HXMVO
bonds for the city water system carried,
m for and 171 against.
The amendment intending to prevent
the extension of the Oddfellows Cemetery
was lost by liS votes.
The voting of these bonds and the
passing of the amendment authorizing
the purchase of the plant w ill insure
the sale of the bonds and the city will
lose no time In securing as perfect a
water system a it is possible to (ttt.
The principal excitement of todny's
election was over the proposed amend
ment preventing the extension of the Odd
fellows' Cemetery. The opposition in
cluded several of the most prominent
business and professional men of the
city but th& .Oddfellows themselves per
fected a very strong organisation and
throughout the day hammered away
against the amendment on the grounds
that it was framed in the interest of the
men who own land adjoining the ceme
tery, that It was discriminating In Its
character and that if It did pass the or
dinance could not be enforced.
The contest on the amendment pro
posing to purchase the eity water plant
s not aa keen as on the cemetery
extension. Mayor Matlock haa strongly
opposed for some tltn the purehas of
the plant and through the use of the,
report of the City Knglneer made a
stubborn fight against the amendment.
While of the Councilman four strongly
favored the purchase, two were neutral
and one was against.
EDITORS TO ASK THE PLEDGE
Statement No. I to Be Demanded by
Washington Prens Association.
TACOMA. Wash.. April 1R. (Special.)
When the State Press Association meets

o,n a resolution asking the legislators of
Washington to pledge themselves to vote
for the choice of the people In electing a
United States Senator. While the spirit
of the primary law in generally lived
up to, the newspapermen will probably
adopt the resolution asking a pledge from
the legislators.

Mrs. CornwHlllH-Wost Helps Young
Statesman In louhtful Mum-heater
Contest Suffragettes Are
Fighting the Cabinet.
LONDON". April 18. The recent re
construction of the Cabinet, which
came about as a result of the retire
ment of Sir Henry Oampbell-Banner-man
and the assumption of the office
of Premier by Herbert H. Asquith. has
plungred the country into a miniature
election. Not less than seven bye-elections
have been made necessary to fill
the vacancies created by the Cabinet
changes. Four of these will be de
cided during1 tile coming week.
By far the most interesting will be
held to return a member from the
northwest division of Manchester,
where the fate of Winston Churchill,
who is seeking re-election on his ele
vation to the Presidency of the Board
of Trade, will be a surer index of the
country's estimate of the past two
yeare of radical rule than are the ver
dicts of the smaller constituencies
which recently have gone against the
government.
Society Woman as Campaigner.
This contest will be fought hard, and
the political fighters In both the domi
nant parties are preparing for the
fray. Mr. Churchill will again be op
posed by W. Johnson Hicks, "who con
tested this seat in the Union interest
In the last general election. There Is
also a Socialist candidate in the field,
but he does not cut much figure.
Mr. Churchill is showing his cus
tomary dashing energy In as fiercely
a waged contest as has been seen in
this country in years. Mr. Churchill's
mother, Mrs. Cornwallls-West, is re
peating her tactics of the last election.
She accompanies her son to the plat
form and Is untiring in her work
among the doubtful groups of electors.
AH Elements Demand Pledges.
Among these must be reckoned the
Hebrews, the Roman Catholics and the
Irish Nationalists. All three groups
are demanding pledges regarding the
alien exclusion bill, education and
home rule respectively. All three voted
for Mr. Churchill at the last election,
and the defection of any one of these
groups might easily spell defeat on
April 24. the date of the election.
The Woman- Suffragists are proving
a thorn In the side of the young states
man. Although Mr. Churchill has de
clared himself In favor of woman suf
frage, the women are overrunning the
constituency In favor of the Unionist
candidate, declaring that the recent at
titude of the members of the Cabinet
and of Parliament proves that fhe gov
ernment has no Intention of forcing the
cause of women to the front.
