' THEY STOLE Fi'KNlTCRE. One of Ollhert'a Houaea Entered and Robbed of Furniture. Veaterday afternoon Chief Hallock and Officer Ob-rg arrested tmo men for atenllng the furniture from 011 Iwt'i two-atory houae on Aator atreet. near the corner of Seventh. The men. aa booked at ' the atatlon houae are Harry Haate, alias Wilson, and Peter Tuatln, alius KeJIy. Both are dope fiends. The houae has been vacant for some time, and a few days ago. when Mr. Gilbert went to examine Into its con dition, he found about half of the furniture broken and eut to pieces. Yenterduy he went down with aji up holnterer to have the atuff repaired, when he found that everything, In cluding the atove, had been removed. The matter was reported at once to the police department, and Invstlga tlon niiule by Chief Mullock and Officer Oberg showed that entry had been made at the back of the houae, ajid one of the neighbors acknowledged that two men were Been to enter the place at i o'clock In the afternoon, and carry out the furniture, load It In a wagon, and cart It away. From tracks left behind, and descriptions given of the men and team, the officers, within half an hour, had located the furniture at the second-hand stores of Snow and i i.. I . .a .a.K v . . i Html.

The St. Charlea Car Company, of St. Charlea, Mo., haa been given tha con tract by the Armour Hacking Com pany for the building of 100 beef cars. It la said that Colonel E. P. Slmms of Kentucky, whose political disabil ities have juat been removed by con gress, Is the "laat of the unrecon atrncted rebel." Spain ha more sunshine than any other country of Europe. The yearly average In Spain Is 3,000 hours; that of Italy, 2,310; Germany, 1,700; England, 1,400. Clataop county la a land of milk and honey, and would certainly have glad dened the hearts of many people of old had they been brought from a wilder ness of hard, tlmea, poor crops, cy clones, snow blockades, droughts, etc. There Is In the market now any quan tity of magnificent Clatsop county honey, made from white clover, butter, cheese and egga, and still the people don't want good roads. It was the general opinion among bualneaa men yesterday that some one should Introduce Into the common council this week a measure providing for the thorough repair of the Stnlth's Point road. No leader, however, was mentioned for the movement, and probably tha sentiment will die out and another needed Improvement left for a future generation. All that Is re quired In such a matter Is a leader. The annual meeting of the A. F. C, held In the club rooms laat night, for the purpose of electing .officers for the ensuing year, was an Interesting one. Many matters appertaining to the gen eral welfare and progress of the club were under consideration. The follow ing Is a list of the officers elected: President, F. T. Kendall; vtce presl- dent, H. F. Prael; secretary. F. M. Qunn; treasurer, C. R. Hlggtns; board of directors, George J. Smith, George M. Hawes. R. Gibson, H. D. Thing. A. Bartholomew. Captain Asbury, who returned yes terday from Cannon 'Reach, reports that many Improvements are being made by the property-owenrs of that section. Mr. H. F. L. Logan Is build ing an extensive bulkhead at his Elk creek ranch, and other minor Improve ments are being made. Those who have an Interest In the new mining enterprise on the beach have a number of sluice boxes aft work washing out the gold. The weather, however, has been so tad that little work could be accomplished. The Captain Is of the opinion that the principal findings are In the beach sand.

The preai dent tooay aent to the senate the fol lowing ntrnilnatlona: American ambas sador extraordinary and minister plen ipotentiary from the I'nlted Plates to Great Hrltalr.. John Hay, of the Dis trict of Columbia; to France, Horai Porter, of New York; aetretary of the ombaaay of Great Ilritaln, Henry White, of Rhode Island. The bouse ways and mean commit tee began the consideration of the tariff bill today. Senator Wolcott said today that be knew nothing of any Intention on the part of McKlnley to ask him to go to Europe as commissioner on behalf of thla government looking to an In ternational agreement on silver. Inquiry among the senators Interest ed in the movement develops the fart that some understanding haa been reached that a special commissioner or commission would be aelected, un der the law of the last congress, who will go abroad to forward bimetallism. It la believed that Senator Wolcott will be selected, because he haa already been abroad, and frum reports ne brought back, la looked ujion as the proper man to make an effort under the authorization of law and appointment by the president. It la stated that nothing has yet been definitely set tled. FLOOD OF BILLS. Washington, March 16. A flood of bllta was introduced in the senate to day. Including many old stagers, like Ihe Hawaiian cable, Nicaragua canal. Immigration and Pacific railroad fore closure bills. Four hundred and. thirty-eight bills and eight Joint tesolutlons were Intro duced. They embraced nearly every phase of public service. The Allen batch of bills numbered about seventy- five. They Included bills directing the foreclosure of the government Hen on the l.'nlon Pacific road; to prevent pro fessional lobbying; defining the powers of the Judiciary; for the service pen sion, etc. . The bills Introduced by Hall related to the cable between the Cnited States Hawaii and Japan, and to the twelfth census. There was a general laugh at one of the pension bills of White, "for the relief of William J. Bryan." Lodge's bills included those to amend the Immigration laws and for the Ha waiian cable. Bankruptcy bills were Introduced by Nelson and Lindsay. Morgan re-introduced the Nicaragua canal till, and a Joint resolution to abrogate the Clay-ton-Bulwer treaty. Numerous bills re lating to the Pacific roads were pre sented, including that of Morgan to create a board of trustees for the ln lon and Central Pacific. On of Thurston's bills provided for an Increase of all pensions. A resolution by Frye calling for In formation as to the application of the civil service rules to the river and har bor work was agreed to. after some criticism of the civil service operations. Cockrell asked If the bill was a step toward abolishing civil service rules. Frye said tt was a step toward abol ishing the rules so far as they related to the labor on the engineering works of the government. The president has extended the civil service rules to all clashes of labor, so that an engineer officer way up on the Columbia river who wanted a laborer for river and harbor work had to apply to the clv- servk-e commission. It Is Interfering with all manner of public work, de clared Frye, and It Is absolutely ab surd and stupid. Several hours were spent early in the day on the question of admitting Henderson, appointed by 'the governor of Florida to All a temporary vacancy. The debate was largely of a legal and technical character concerning the precedents on admitting senators. The case was referred to the committee on privileges and election, where the cases of Corbett of Oregon and Woods of Kentucky are pending. DYER FOR GOVERNOR. Providence, R. I.. March 16.

Lewellyn. the diver. The objective point of the party la Mitchell's bay on the weat coast of the I a rites t of the Quen Charlotte isl ands. Somewhere In the bottom of that little Inlet they expect to unearth many thousanda of dollars worth of precloua metal, which haa been lying there since the fifties. Th atory is that a Hudson's Bay factor, with the help of an Indian, discovered a pocket in the cliff in which a blast was made, with the result that the greater part of the "yellow" went to the bottom of the bay. JACKSON MOVED. Covington, Ky.. March 1. TWa morn ing, at the Alexandria Jail, Mrs. Wall ing suddenly walked over to Scott Jackson and cried: "Save my son; you can do It by telling the truth."

SULLIVAN TO FIGHT. London, March 16. Charley Mitchell deposited $1,500 today to bind a match with Johi L. Sullivan. is me jisticc com. In Justice Abercromble'3 court yes terday the Reed-Huber-John Day's-three-cornereU-nelghborhood controver sy was taken up. This time Mr. Reed was arrested, on a charge of plain as sault and battery, for which he was fined J25, the fine being suspended dur ing good behavior. A number of cases have recently come from the John Day's, and It Is understood that a number more are under preparation. Complaint was filed yesterdny by the city water commission against the street car company for the appropria tion, without authority, or about 60,000 gallons of water for use ln the boilers of the power house, between the third and the fifteenth of this month,. It be ing also claimed that this kind of thing has been going on for a year or more past. The superintendent of the water commission a few days ago attached a meter to the supply pipe unaer the sidewalk, and was thus able to tell how much water went Into the power house sink, ostensibly for washing hands. It Is alleged that the car com pany tapped the water r-tpe at the sink, and ran a hose into the tank which supplies the boiler, and instead of simply using the water at the sink for ordmary purposes, they let It con stantly run into this tank, at the rate of five or six thousand gallons a day. Superintendent Newell and Electrician Welch, of the car company, were ar rested under the complaint, and re leased by the court on their recogni zance. The officers say that a very satisfactory explanation can be given at the trial at t o'clock this after noon. Walt for the "Huseby," the best bicycle on earth for the least money. $40 and $50. F. L.

VISITORS ARRIVE IN CARSON Not Much Money Up Corners Are Chosen and Corbett Wins McAu Uffe Bets on Fltzslmmons. Carson. Nev.. March 16. Corbett and . i Fltzslmmon have completed their training. Nothing remains to be dona except to appear In the ring tomorrow. They will battle for supremacy ln the presence of their friends and seVeral thousand people perhaps the largest number that ever witnessed suoh aa athletic exhibition. Both men are In the pink of (cnJltion, Corbett, accord ing to the best Judges, being the more perfect, physically, than Fltxsimmons. The town was livelier this afternoon than yeaterday, owing to fresh ar rivals of visitors. Two special trains. one from th. coast and the other from east, came In, bringing in several hun dred people. It U estimated that Had strangers are In town. No pools for large amounts bars been sold. AH so far were for small amounts. 16.50 to 110, and with an occa sional 170 to $100. So far at least $15, f'00 bav be;n bet on the result. If any large bets have been made here, the arrangements were private. The truth is that all, perhaps, except the enthu siastic friends of Fltxsimmons, are con trolled by the belief that lie can only win by a chance JaJb, and the odds are not large enough to Induce his admirers to bet freely on him. The sale of tickets was brisk today and Stuart feels more hopeful about a large at tendance than for several days. How large It will be no one can tell now. but it Is expected to reach from 4,000 to 5.000. Corbett will enter the ring weighing 185 pounds, three pounds more' than when he fought MitchelL Fitzsimmons' weight Is estimated at 16S pounds, although Julian said today that he will be heavier than that, or "between 170 and 180." There Is no possible way of telling when the fight will commence. It win depend on the sunlight for the pho tographic machine, and the fight may be called anywhere from eleven o'clock till four. THE SMALLER FIGHTS. Carson. March 16. It 1 Is expected that both of the smaller tights will fur nish much excitement. All the men are In fine condition and all of them express themselves as confident of the result. The betting Is somewhat favor of Smith as against Greeiv Green will enter the ring weighing- 147 pounds and Smith will be 10 pounds heavier. This fight Is at catch weights. Hawkins and Flaherty are to fight at US pounds. Flaherty Is somewhat un der weight and wilt probably fight at 127. Howkina will be at 128. The wea ther Indications tonight are that to morrow will be clear and cold. SULLIVAN IN CARSON.. Carson, March 16. The most promi nent arrival on the late train tonight was John L. Sullivan, whom all Carson has been expecting for a week. Not withstanding the late hour, near mid night, a large crowd and brass band was waiting to greet htm and escort him to the Arlington hotet. THE CORNERS. Carson, March 16. The matter of the choice of comers was decided tonight by a toss-up, Corbet t's representative winning the toss. He chose tha south west corner, wishing to get the sun at his back, and leaving Fltxsimmons no choice but to take the northeast corner. Jack McAuliffe, after a visit to both men. declared tonight that Fitzsimmons, ln his opinion, la sure to win. "It will be a short fight." he added, "as I think FltzMmmons will lick thu old fellow Inside of ten rounds. I am here to challenge the winner on behalf of Sharkey. I have notified both men of my Intentions." OVMD Absolutely Pure- Celebrated for Its great leavening strength and healthfulness.
