Barbara Street Car Overturned
and Five Killed Outright.
Santa Barbara, Cal., April 13.— A
street car loaded with passengers re
turning to town fiom the Old Mission
ran off the track at Garden and Mis
sion streets today and five deaths have
resulted. A ll of the dead were Santa
Barbara people. Over 20 of the pas
sengers were injured, many of them
being frightfully mangled. Over half
of the injured had bones broken about
the body and not a few of them suffered
serious fractures of the skull.
The accident was due to a defect in
the brake apparatus, was as revealed
from an inspection of the car, after the
accident. W hile the rear brakes were
tightly set against the wheels, tha for
ward brakes were of no service because
of the breaking of a part of the gear
ing.
The motorman discovered that some
thing was wrong with the car several
blocks above the point where the acci
dent occurred and endeavored to set
the brakes, but failed to check the
speed of the car. At the intersection
of Garden and Mission streets there is a
sharp curve, and the car was moving at
its highest speed down a 5 per cent
grade when the curve was reached.
The car was thrown from the track
upon its side, the passngers being
thrown in evrey direction. One section
of the car was smashed into splinters.
Those who were instantly killed and
many of those who were most seriously
injured were standing upon the guard
rail on the side of the car as it crashed
into the ditch.
As soon as the news of the accident
spread throughout the city every avail
able physi ian was sent to the aid of
the injured and many prominent resi
dents of the city were among those
who aided the suffering and dying. A
majority of the injured were taken to
the hospital and the remainder were-
iemoved to their homes.

Washington, April 13.— The bouse
today passed the bill reported by the
committee on rivers anil harbors appro
priating $3,000,000 for the restoration
or maintenance of channels, or for oth
er river and harbor improvement.
Burton (O .), chairman of the commit
tee, in explaining the bill urged the
adoption of settled principles with re
gard to river and harbor work.
Bur
gess (Dem., Tex.) and Rsnsdell (Dem.,
L a .) favored increases in the appropria
tion for river and harbor improvement,
the former urging that they should be
doubled and the latter regarding $100,
000,000 as not too much.
Quite
large number of bills of minor import
ance were passed.
The house then went into committee
of the whole for the consideration of
t'le emergency river and harbor b ill
general debate being limited to three
hours. Burton, (O .), in charge of the
bill, made an explanation of it and
gave a general survey of the subject of
river and harbor improvements.
He
said the amounts expended for this
purpose, when the vast extent of our
waterways was considered, was very
small. The system pursued in the
United States, he thought, contrasted
most unfavorably with those of foreign
countries.
The bill then was passed without
amendments.
Under its provisions,
the money appropriated becomes imme
diately available, and is to be expend
ed under the direction of the secretary
of war and the supervision of the chief
engineers

ments the whole subject of the status
Oi the Chinese immigration question
as it will be after the lapse of existing
treaties, has been thoroughlv digested
and it can be stated that the adminis
tration feels that it has ample w arrant
for continuing to enforce the rigid pro
visions of the the Chinese exclusion
act regardless of the denunciation of
the treaty. So far from opening the
door to Chinese immigration, the lapse
of the treaty, will, it is said, actually
render the entrance of Chinese into
this country more difficult than while
the treaty remained in force.
This fact has been pointed out to the
Chinese government by Mr. Conger,
who has not yet abandoned the effort
to induce the Chinese government to
reconsider its denunciation.
However
it is positively stated that the exclusion
laws w ill continue to be emorced after
December next, whether the treaty
expires or not.
Attorney General Knox has undei
consideration the question of the valid
ity of the exclusion law of 1902 in view
of the denunciation of the treaty, and
he w ill prepare and submit to the pre*'
ident an opinion on the subject. Both
the president and the attorney general
have discussed the matter with mem
beis of congress. It is being consid
ered, too, by members of both branches
of congress, and if it is deemed neces
sary some legislative action will be
taken on it before adjournment. If it
should be concluded that the denuncia
tion of the treaty by China would ren
der inoperative existing laws regarding
Chinese exclusion, the probable course
of action will be to attach to one of the
pending appropriation bills an amend
ment forcing the exclusion of Chinese.
Members of congress are generally
agreed that no difficulties w ill be ex
perienced in passing the legislation if
it should be regarded as necessary.

Bend— Cline Butte, 15 miles north
of Bend, has been found to contain a
large mass of gold bearing rock.
The
whole butte is supposed to be of the
same character and there has been quite
a rush to locate claims there. There 1«

formation extends
through a string of hills to the west-
waid and prospecting is in progress
there.
The rock is porphyry and quartizite
and it carries about $4 in gold and a
little silver to the ton.
This surface
outcrop is considered very promising.
The ease with which this rock can be
mined gives it value, even at this low
grade. It is estimated that at least
half its value will be profit. The rock
is of the same kind that is found in
the Ochoco mines, northeast of Prine-
ville.
This discovery was made by Otto
Retzlaff and C. P. Becker, the latter
having spent a year and a half on the
Yukon, where he became acquainted
with gold mining.
Steps are being
taken to develop the Cline Butte claims.

Commissioner Dunbar.
Salem— An increase of over 10 per
cent in the fire insurance business, a
decrease of 17 per cent in net premi
ums on fire insurance, an increase of
18 per cent in both business and net
premiums in life insurance, and the
withdrawal of all but three surety com
panies, are the most prominent features
of the annual report of Insurance Com
missioner F\ I. Dunbar.
The report covers the year 1903, and
was compiled on April 1, as required
by law. Though the report shows the
healthy industrial growth of the state,
as indicated by the increasing fire in
surance business, it also shows the de
creasing profits caused by unusual fire
losses.
In the past five years the
amount of fire risks written per year
has increased about 50 per cent.
In
1899 the total as $64,100,000. In 1903
it as $95,500,000. The net premiums
for 1903 are less than in 1902, or for
any other year since 1898.
The fire
losses for 1902 were $859,000 and for
1903 $1,314,000, or an increase of
almost 100 per cent. Seven companies
lost money last year on their insurance
business in Oregon.
