CURRENT EVENTS OF THE WEE S Doings of the World at Large Told in Briet General Resume o f Important Events Preserved In Condensed Form fo r Our Busy Readers. The British coal strike continues to improve. situation Eleanor Sears, a Boston heiress, w ill play in a men’s polo game. Senator Lorim er was vindicated by a special investigating committee o f eight senators. Tw o ocean-going vessels w ill be built at St. Helens, .Or., by the Mc Cormick interests. Striking m ill workers and I. W. W members continue rioting at A ber deen, and city officials and police are powerless. Sir Edward Gray, in the house o f commons, says England is not acquis itive and that the Monroe doctrine is not worrying her in the least. A fte r a conference in Cleveland, it appears almost certain that a big strike o f bituminous coal miners will take place throughout the East. Charles A . Prouty, chairman o f the Interstate Commerce commission, de clares the public have a right to re ceive notice in advance o f any contem plated railroad strike. By purchasing two trucks to show its intention and ability to do its own street oiling, the city o f Portland ob tained bids o f (35 a mile for that work, against $66.60 previously bid.

Many Have N arrow Escapes and Live stock is Abandoned, St. Louis— Thousands o f flood spec tators witnessed the thrilling rescue o f a fam ily o f seven, from a sinking houseboat in the sw irling currents o f the Mississippi R iver here. A houseboat in which a man, his w ife and five children lived, was tom from its moorings by driftwood that was carried from flood points above. Soon a fter being swept into the cur rent the frail craft dragged over sunk en snags, stove in its bottom and be gan to sink. Two motorboats rushed to the rescue and a fter fighting off the heavy d rift, reached the side o f the boat just as the water was sweeping over the deck. It sank within five minutes a fter the last occupant had stepped to safety. The river has reached 29.9 feet, rise o f 4.10 feet in 24 hours. This mark is .9 feet below flood stage and the water has inundated the railroad tracks along the levee. H a lf a dozen expensive power boats have been lost, but unless an unlooked-for rise occurs, no great damage is expected at St. Louis except to small shipping. Conditions in the flooded district at Cairo are serious and the situation is growing graver every day. Both the Mississippi and the Ohio are rising at Cairo and although the city proper can stand several feet more, anxiety is fe lt for the levees above and below the mouth o f the Ohio. The Drinkwater levee on the Mis sissippi side has broken, despite the efforts o f more than 1,000 men, and the water is sweeping over a three- mile stretch o f levee and flooding the southeastern section o f Missouri. When it became apparent that the levee could not be saved the workmen turned their attention toward resi dents in the district, thereby saving many lives. Farmers and their fam ilies fled to safety, leaving livestock to its fate and hundreds o f cattle and hogs are floating toward the Gulf. Boats carried persons out o f the Drinkwater district all day Sunday. The Iron Mountain trains were caught between the Bard’s Point and Charleston floods and the passengers had to be taken off in boats. A ll traffic between Cairo and Charleston, K y., has been annulled.

Portland— “ In the 13 cars on the train by which I came into Oregon,” said R. E.
