D01NRS OF THE WEEK Current Events oí Interest Gathered From the World at Large. BILL IS THR EATE N E D . House Dislikes berate Amendments to River Measure. Washington, D. C.— The conference committee on the river and harbor bill is tightly deadlocked and after a spirited row adjounred for a week. Threats are being made by house members that the whole bill w ill be defeated unless the senate recedes on some o f its larger amendments. One amendment which brought about a serious disagreement was the senate’s increase in the appropriation for the Celilo canal from »600,000 to »800.000. The house conferees are insisting that they w ill not stand for this in crease, but senate members o f the conference insist that this and all oth er increases are justified by the rec ommendations o f the army engineers and that no increases have been made that were not recommended by the War department. In regard to the Celilo canal, the engineers specifically said that i f they could have »800,000 this year and a like amount o f even » 1,000,000 an nually thereafter, they could hasten the completion o f this project and effect a substantial saving in cost. It was on this report that the senate in creased its appropriation to the figure named. Senators on the conference commit tee declared that they will not recede form their more important amend ments and the house members threat ened to defeat the entire bill rather than permit it to pass with the senate amendments attached It is under stood that none o f the other North western amendments is attacked by the house, Celilo being the largest in crease made in that section.

Clark has received the following dispatch from Kadiak: "K ad iak island is covered with 12 inches o f ashes. Ashes have stopped falling, but conditions here are terri ble. The people were taken aboard the revenue cutter Manning, which is leaving for other stations to obtain food. “ On some parts o f the ¡Bland the ashes are 20 feet deep. Vegetation and animal life have been killed and the wireless station at the town of Kadiak destroyed. Conditions at Kar luk must be terrible.” Governor Clark cabled to Washing ton asking » 100,000 from congress for relief purposes in the stricken district. The volcano has resumed its normal state and the atmosphere is clearing, so that boats will be able to get into the stricken district with relief. A t Uyak the fall o f ashes amounted to four inches. The people there are not suffering. This was one o f the places on Kadiak island where it was feared the greatest damage was done, and the news from there gives hope that all persons on Kadiak island are safe. No word has been received from Afognak island, which lies only a few miles north o f Kadiak island, and fears for the inhabitants' fate are ex pressed. Afognak, which is included in the Chugacli national forest and fish culture reserve, has a population of 600. The island is in a direct line with the course taken by the ashes and sand from Katmai. A light rain fell at Seward. The water was charged with sulphuric acid which is killing all vegetation and eating into the metal work o f build ings.
