AS IT LOOKS IN WASHINGTON
II. W.
Corbett's Chancer for
Seated in the Senate.
ISelue
Sax Francisco, March 15. The Chron
icle's Washington special says:
There will be the hottest kind of a
fight over the seating of Corbett, the
new senator from Oregon, before the
Eenate committee on privileges and elec
tions. Corbett is accompanied by sev
eral Oregon friends, two at least of
whom will figure as hia attorneys before
the committee. They are now prepar
ing his case. It is hardly believed that
there will be a departure from the prece
dent in the Mantel case, though many
of the Republican leaders favor the
seating of Wood of Kentuckv and Cor
bett, as well as Henderson of Florida.
In Wood's case the legislature of Ken
tucky, now in session, will probably
elect a successor to Blackburn before
Wood's contest is completed. Call will
undoubtedly be chosen to succeed him
self when the Florida legislature meets
next month.
Wallace McCamaut, of Portland, made
the following statement yesterday:
"The Oregon case must not be con
founded with the Kentuckycuse or with
the MaLtle case, decided four years ago
in both of these cases the legislature
charged with the duty cf electing t
eenator, organized and balloted for sena
tor irom day today without effecting an
election. In the Oregon case the legis
lature never held a session and simply
maueau abortive attempt to organize.

"e even had been abandoned bv the
time Mitchell's term expired and a va
cancy occurred.
"The constitution authorizes an ap.
pointmont when a vacaucy happens dur
lue recess of the legislature. This
vacancy certainly originated in the
recess of the Oregon legislature. Mr.
Urbett can bo deprived of hia seat only
by interpreting the word 'happen' as
"iuivaieut to 'happen fortuitously or by
chance.' It is our contention that such
interpretation is nrpollirlnrl hv tho ran.

cedents from 1870 to the present time,

MISSISSIPPI IS STILT. ON TIIK RISK
Hundreds or Homes Destroyed by the
Flood.
Memphis, Tenn., March 15. Rain be
gan falling here shortly after 7 o'clock,
and is coming down in torrents, adding
to thc misery and suffering already
caused by the overflowing of streams.
A citizens' relief committee has been
organized. Hundreds of head of stock
and many men, women and children
have been rescued from house and tree
tops in the overflowed districts and
brought to this city by harbor towboats
with barges attached.
The gauge reads oG.3 feet, a rise of one
foot in 24 hours, and indications point to
a further rise. News comes todav of the
partial breaking of the St. Francis levee,
sixty miles above Memphis. Steamer
captains say great additional suffering
and loss of property will result.

More Trouble at lacoma.
Tacoma, March 15. The sheriff's offi
cers guarded the civil service office in
the city hall from Saturdav till this
morning. The new commission waa ap
pointed Saturday, but a restraining
order from the court prevented their
entering upon their duties. The old
board feared that forcible possession of
the office might be taken on Sunday.
The matter will be settled in court to
morrow. It was from the civil-service
room that the city hall vault was en
tered several months ago, and the citv
election ballots Etolen. The robbers
have never been detected.
The Mount Lebanon Shakers have in
vented a great many valuable things.
They were the first to make brooms by
machinery; the first to put up seeds in
litttle packages; the first to manufacture
cut nails.
Now they are out with a method of cur
ing dyspepsia by resting the stomach.
Their remedy is known as the Shaker
Digestive Cordial. It supplies food in
an artificially digested form and at tho
same time aids the digestion of other
foods in the stomach. In other words,
by the use of the Shaker Digestive Cor
dial, a dyspeptic virtually gets along
without the use of his stomach until it
is restored to its natural strength and
vigor. A single 10 cent bottle will oft
times give marked relief. Get a bottle
from your druggist and try it.
Laxol is the best medicine for chil
dren. Doctors recommend it in place of
Castor Oil.
France aud Italy Decline.
Vienna, March 15. The proposal of
the powers that France and Italy occupy
Crete with a mixed force of 25,000 men
has been declined by the governments
of thoae two countriee on the score of
expense. The occupation of Crete,
therefore, will be undertaken by the
forces of the six powers, although Ger
many and Austria will only nominally
take part to show that they are agreea
ble to the measure.
If your tea is good, it is
cheap; if it is not good, it is
dear, no matter what you
pay for it you had better
drink water.
But good tea is better
than water sometimes, be
cause it tastes good, and
whatever tastes good makes
the stomach work right.
So good tea is cheap and
poor tea is dear.

The break in the St. Francis levee at
Nodena, Ark., was more serious tnan
first reported. The water has fallen
twenty-five feet, and rushed upon the
people in the lowlands, behind the levee,
in almost a' solid wall. It is expected
many lives will be lost. The steamer
City of Osceola saved many people who
were washed out of their homes by the
water, which went through everv
crevice.
The Flood at Naskvllle.
Nashville, Tenn., March 15. The
Cumberland river reached forty-two feet
on the gauge here today. Forty feet is
the danger line. The lowlands about
the city are submerged, and many cel
lars of the business houses filled with
water. Families in the threatened dis
tricts are moving out. Merchants are
taking their goods to the second floors.
The river will certainly reach forty-five,
possibly forty-Beven feet.
There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all othe diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many yeara doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proyen catarrh
to be a constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrah Cuie, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
It is taken internally in doses from ten
drops to a teaspoonful. It acta directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testmonials. Address,

To Coerce the Greek.
St. PETEKSiiuita, March 15. All the
admirals, except the French and Italian
commanders have been ordered to im
mediately blockade the principal Greek
ports, especially the Piraeus (port of
Athens); Syra and Volo. An ultima
turn will forthwith be addressed to
Greece by the admiral of the foreign
fleets.
Old l'eoi.le.
Old people who require medicine to
regulate the bowela and kidneys will
find the true remedy in Electric Bitters.
This medicine doea not stimulate and
contains no whisky nor other intoxicant,
but acts as a tonic and alternative. It
acts mildly on the stomach and Dowels,
adding strength and giving tone to the j
organs, thereby aiding Nature in the
performance of the functions. Electric
Bitters is an excellent appetizer and aids
digestion. Old people find it just exact
ly what they need. Price 50 cents and
$1 00 per bottle at Blakeley & Hough
ton's Drug Store. 6
The New iu Koine
Rome March 15. It ia eemi-officially
stated here this afternoon that all the
foreign admltals have received orders to
blockade Crete. It ie added that a
blockade of Greece will occur If the Cret
an blockade should prove inadequate.
The Greek fleet is expected to leave
Crete, otherwise it will be escorted out
side Cretan waters.
