REPLIES SLOW COMING IN Committee Is Anxious to Finish Up the Work But Nothing Can lie Doue if Assist ance s Not Gaiuctl. The committee of ten Is not meet ing with as earnest co-operation on the part of interested owners of tide washed lands along; the water front as will be necessary for a harmonious un derstanding; of the project In hand. Many replies have been received from those addressed on the subject, but at tention is not as prompt as desired, This committee was appointed for the purpose of ascertaining the sentiment regarding the construction of the sea wall, filling: with dredgings from the river channel and sluicing from the hills. The commltte was appointed to do something, and do something it if Ion their knees to the individual nrwn erty owners and beg reply, Alt that the circular letter asks Is to answer yes or no,' adding anything desired. I would say to the property owners 'Express yourself as freely as you like, but do It in black and white that the replies may be used as reference. The committee can not remember every thing said on the subject, and If this was attempted somebody would be misrepresented when flnul report is made to the public. "Nobody knows the complexion of the committee. They may all be for or against or divided on the proposi tion, so it Is safe to suppose that all communications will tecelve due and fair consideration. The personnel of the committee Is sufficient guarantee for fair treatment, no matter which side of the question the members may take individually. "This is a work which should be finished up at an early day and the committee is anxious to do it, so if the property owners of the district will get a move on It can be done. Quite a number of replies have been re celved from non-resident owners, so there Is really no excuse for delay by our resident owners." Sensts Confirms Nomination. Washington, March 12.

Ho We, and the good people of llwaco and North beach are warm personal enemies, u attested by the stutement made by a leading resident of the raclflc county town to an As torlan man yesterday. This gentleman said that public feeling had become so aroused against the unpopular cap tain that there was talk of adminis tering to him a coat of tar and feath ers, and that the only thing that saved him from such humiliation and pre served the peace and quiet of llwaco was the fact that Keegan went to J Portland when events had about reach ed a crisis. Whether the smell of tar caused his departure is not known, but It is clear that his leave-taking was opportune as far as he was concerned. The rea son for the captain's unpopularity rests upon alleged statements made by him had the contrary declared that they been robbed by llwaco thlevea "The third grievance was at the hands of the llwaco storekeepers, whom they allege, charged them two prices for goods which they purchased. The sailors paid the price asked, but again spread broadcast the story that they had been robbed, and that llwaco was the proper place to py two prices for merchandise," Captain Keegan seems to be as dear ly loved by the members of his crew as he Is by the residents of Ilwui'O, They believed that the wreck of the schooner was directly due to his mis management, snj say so without hesi tation. The hatches, they say, were not properly placed, so that the schoon er filled rapidly; that the captain at first was JndilTerent to the danger which confronted his vessel, and lent little or no assistance to' avert a catastrophe that those under him were certain would soon overwhelm them. For the second mate the sailors have kind words, but are very severe when the names of the captutn and first mate are mentioned. From the captain down they seem to be an unpleasant lot of fellows, and the people of llwaco and North beach, whose hospitality has been so un gratefully received, will be relieved when they see the last of them.

The captain stoutly denies that he has ever entertained aught but the klnill est of feelings for those whom he Is accredited with slandering, and says that he was never treated better in his life than since the wreck of his ves sel. He was interviewed recently by the llwaco Journal and made the fol lowing statement: "This talk about me criticizing the! people of llwaco is wrong, and I want to refute the charges.
