ARE- 5 S The Dalles, Oregon SUNDAY AT THE FAIR. Tie Authorities Me Alreafly Fore : stalled the Nation. A CONDITION, NOT A THEORY. The Old Hudson Bay Steamer Beaver to go to Chicago. SERIOUS CHARGES OX MBSES. Flood In Wichipan- Forest Fire In New Jeraejr- Another Levee Broken " Otlier New. Chicago, June 3. It would be just as well for those persona and there are hundreds of thousands of them in' the United States ; who are trying to bring about the closing of the world's fair on Sunday to bear in mind that the very thing against which they protest is now in full operation. The gates of the world's fair are open every Sunday, and hundreds of sight-seers go to it, they being admitted readily . on payment of the established fee. The world's fair directors have thus decided the matter of Sunday opening while the whole country, represented by congress,, by great religious gatherings and many other influential bodies, is still debating the matter. It may well be asked : Are the world's fair authorities justified in forestalling the judgement of the nation in this matter? There is little real differ ence between the present arrangement at Jackson park and that which will be in force if the fully erected enterprise shall be thrown open to visitors on Sun days a- year hence. Because of this action of the directors the question now under debate by the whole nation is not, "Shall the . worlds ,r fait -be open oh Sunday?", but, "Shall the pre eent condition of Sunday sight-seeing at Jackson Park be changed after the for mal opening of the world's fair?" The worlds fair is open on Sunday. . It is a condition, not a theory, that . confronts ua. ' . - The Pioneer Steamer Beaver. Albany, N. Y., June 3.-Kobert H. Benedict, of Victoria, B. C., is in Albany trying to form a company for transpor tation to Chicago of the first steamer that entered the : Pacific ocean 1 around Cape Horn. He feels confident of the success of bis project. Benedict is one of the owners of the famous steamer, the Beaver, the first of her kind to leave England, brave the dangers of the cape and sail into the Pacific, This was in 1833. -All her original machinery and the live oak timbers of her hull are as sound as the day the steamer passed out of the builder's hands. Only one person who came on the Beaver's maiden trip now lives. .-. ' - ' -' ' Hospital Scandals. .-Cincinnati, O., June 2. There is'a big sensation here over the death yester day of a prominent citizen at the. city hospital, having bled to death unat tended. '.Last night, too, a patient at the hospital committed suicide, .leaving a note saying death; was preferable to the abuse of the nurses.' , Charges have been made for some lime, past in. the public press against this hospital, alleg ing negligence, incompetency and im morality. - The principal , charge was against Miss Murray, of Philadelphia, in charge, of the trained nurses', depart ment... The superintendent was recently dismissed on this account. ' A Forest Fire. May's Landing, N. J., June 2. A forest fire starred hi the woods between this place and Egg Harbor early yester day morning, and burned fiercely in a valuable tract of timber alt day. About 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon it waa car ried within one mile of Hammonton. A large force of men : fought it all day with little success, and, last night it de stroyed hundreds - df ' acres 'of timber every hour.. It "was turned off from Hammonton by back-firing and plowing the ground on all sides of the town, but it is now burning so fiercely that there is great fear of the place being destroyed. -,.-;' '- : - ' -.;. - ;':,. -Michigan In the Swim. Gbanjo RArns, Mich.,. June 2. The worst storm ever experienced here oc curred last nighU. It was a regular cloudburst. Crops were, destroyed for miles around, and the track of the Grand Rapids and Indiana road was washed out for three miles'. .' V ' ' Storms and Cyclones. Chicago, Jane 2. Advices "give fur ther details of the loss of life and the destruction of property by storms and cyclones, in the southwest. Lott, Tex., reports a cyclone near . Durango, which caused the greatest . havoc, sweeping everything before it, over a space of a quarter of a mile wide and several miles long. Houses were utterly demolished. Many people escaped injury by entering cyclone cellars, but five or six are known to be killed, and a number were injured, some " fatally. The effects of the rain storms which have prevailed since Mon day throughout .Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Indian territory, and which continue in many places are : be coming evident in the rising rivers. - All streams In this territory are rising rap idly; and promise' to exceed the.hieh stage of water recently recorded, where it is not already exceeded. Enormous damage ' has been already done, and much greater is in prospect. The dam age by rain and wind in the neighbor hood of Texas has been estimated at $500,000. Getting Ready. Minneapolis, June 3. Preparations for the interesting affair next Tuesdav are going on apace, the managers having fully hxed upon the programme of the inaugural ceremonies. The new conven tion hall will be filled to the doors with delegates and visitors. 'There will be music by a brass band and a chorus of 1,500 voices will sing such patriotic music as cannot be construed into re flecting partisan feelinar.1" The addresses will be delivered by Maj. McKinley, the energetic tariff-lifter, and Mr. Depew. There Is a distinctly festal character about all this. The day to follow will be ode of toil and voting and of anxious delegates growing hoarse with shouting. People throughout thp country will be hiving around bulletin boards and jost ling each other over tickers. But the eve of the combat will be as festive and joyous as a carnival. . This is pleasant. Even busy Mr. Harrison, down, there at Washington, will feel some polite in terest in the proceedings that are to follow. Not Lawfully Detained. Lansing, Mich., June .3 The Supreme court has filed an opinion reversing the conviction and ordering the discharge of Aaron W. Hamaker, who was recently convicted in the Jackson Circuit court of attempting to aid a convict to. escape from prison. The statute makes it a crime to aid in the escape of a prisoner who was lawfully detained, and the court held that the information did not show that Donovan, the prisoner whose escape Hamaker attempted to aid, was convicted of any offense known " to the law and therefore that he was not law fully detained. Donovan is doing a ten years's sentence, having been convicted in Ogemaw county 1887 of the crime of entering a saloon in the night with in tent to commit robbery. This, the court says, is not a crime known .to the law, as no breaking was charged. Under this state of facts Donovan will experience but little difficulty in securing his liberty also. . . Sidney Dillon's Illness. ' Xkw Yobk, June.; 2. Sidney Dillon, president of the Union Pacific railway, who lies critically ill at his residence in West Fifty-seventh street, continues to grow gradually weaker. He is greatly emaciated and cannot even turn in his bed without assistance. ' The only nour ishment which he takes is a preparation of fermented milk, but how much of its nutritive quality is assimilate'd the- at tending physicians are unable to deter mine. Both the nerve and-muscular forces of the patient are daily1 becoming diminished. His inind ' remains clear, but he does not speak of business mat ters. It is ftieyen weeks today since Mr. Dillon was last dow.n town, and for five weeks he has been confined to his bed. - Another Levee Broken. "Xkw Orleans, June 2. A crevasse oc curred this morning in the levee at Web er's landing: It is 25- feet wide, .and threatens the Texas Pacific road. " -Two townships of land near Astoria are now open i to settlement. Its de velopement will result in great benefit to the seaport city. - : '' 1 Highest of all in Leavenifig Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report. SNAKES IN THE TREES. Effect of the Recent Flood in Portions of : Illinois FISH AND SNAKE STORIES. Reptiles Driven to High Lands and Take Refuge in Willows. HUNTERS HOKRIFIED TO FIND THEM Pastures Filled With Fish Which the 'Farmers Gather by the Basket ' Full Minor Mention. ' Macomb, III., June 3.Williaiii Bar ker, manager of the electric light and gas plant of this city, together with several companions, has just returned from a hunting and fishing trip to . Crooked creek in the vicinity of Colniar. The entire region around Colniar, a way station on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad- between Quincy and -Galesburg, is one sea of water. The water stood several feet high around a line of willows which had been set out for a fence. '. Barker and his companions got into a boat and rowed up around the trees in hopes of finding some sort of game, when they were horrified to see' a huge snake drop into the boat. The reptile was quickly dispatched, when the boys discovered that the trees above them were literally alive with snakes; a" mass of hissing, writhing reptiles, con sisting of water moccasins, rattlers and many other varieties. The thoroughly frightened men began, a fueilade with their guns and in a short time they bad killed over one hundred big snakes. Some of them were monsters. The high water has driven hundreds of these reptiles into the surrounding country. The fish stories that now pour in from this . neck of the woods are ' equally' marvelous. One farmer found his pasture full of buffalo fish one morning and gathered a bushel- basket full. Another native captured a huge cat-fish that weighed over one hundred pounds. Fishing is all the go. The small streams are full of the choicest, kinds of fish. - i - - A Canadian Crniser. Ottawa, June 3. The protest of the United States government against Can ada constructing a revenue cutter for service on the upper lakes has been of little avail, and the keel of the vessel which is to be of steel throughout, is now being laid at Owen sound, on the Georgian bay. The objection" from Washington was based on the agreement of 1817 between Great Britain and the United' States, one of the clauses of which prohibited either country from building a "vessel of war" on the lakes. It has been discovered, however, that this agreement was abrogated by Secre tary Seward in I860, - and consequently the Canadian government will construct the cruiser. Even had the "treaty been in force this government would have' re sented United States interference, as the new vessel is simply being built for revenue purposes and the United States, it appears, has at the present time four vessels of this class on the lake, viz : One each at Oswego, Detroit, Erie and Milwaukee. - . A Lake Steamer Sunk. ; DBTBorr, Jane 2. The steamers Brit ain and Progress, both of Cleveland, collided this morning at the mouth, of the . Detroit river. ' The Progress sank immediately, 1 but the crew was rescued with difficulty. The Britain was comparatively uninjured. A Canoeist Drowned. Pokt Jekvis, N. Y., June 2. Commo dore C. F. Weeks, of-the Brooklyn Canoe Club, was drowned yesterday while at tempting to shoot a dam across the Deleware river at Lakawaxcn, Pa.
