Mulkey, at the requebt tf the executive committee of the Republican county central committee of Multno mah county, will appear for the "cash fee" candidates before the supreme court when the Patton mandamus case is argued before that body. Dr. if. M.

Patton has Instituted mandamus proceedings in the supreme court asking that the gov ernor be compelled to refuse to grant certificates of nomination to the suc cessful nominees for the senate.

John' Martlnus and Hiram Crawford, who also Jumped from the burning dock Into the water to escape the flames, were rescued after cling ing to piles for half an hour. Pirs Starts Prom Unknowa Cause. . The fire started from an unknown cause in a drum of distillate which the men were filling. It quickly spread to the entire dock, on which were 250 drums filled with the liquid. The containers, which had a capacity of 100 gallons each, blew up as the fire reached them. Some of them were blown -'00 feet Into the air. The bay near the dock was covered with tanks, which held together enough to float, and with debris from the dock. Thirty-three tanls oh shore, filled with 500,000 barrels of distillate and other oils, were unscathed, although burning brands from the dock fell among them. The 200 employes of the company organized to fight the flames and set at work all of the fire protec tion apparatus at the plant. Seattle Tire Tug Arrives.

Belfast, June 1J. (I. TS-. S.) The Ulster unionist council has discussed David Lloyd-George's proposals for the settlement of the Irish question. Delegates from Cauntles Cavan, Mon aghan and Donogal have protested against the reVlval of the home rule controversy in the absence of many signers of the Ulster covenant In the war. They protested against any settle ment excluding their counties from Ul ster, but, if the six counties considered the safety of the empire depended on the continuance of negotiations on the proposed basis, the responsibility must be theirs and the three counties must abide by their decision. The council ultimately adopted a resolution reslTflrnilng its abhorrence of home rule and declining Responsi bility for establishing It in any part of Ireland, declaring, however, that as he cabinet opened proposals to tend to strengthen the empire and help win th war the council felt that it was its duty to make sacrifices and conse quently authorized Sir-Edward Ctyson to continue negotiations on the pro J 1 on i posed basis and to completathera If .the details satisfied him.

But the exigencies of the empire were par amount. hv said, and he would continue negotiations to' the' -end and procure the best terms he could for Ulster, which he declared "this day played a noble part."
