WASHINGTON'. ' March 2. Just
' before adjournment of the senate com
mittee on elections, both the prosecu
tion and the defense in the investigation
of the election of Senator Clark, of
Montana, announced they had con
cluded the presentation of testimony
There are some papers to be exa.nmed
and arguments are still to be heard
Arrangements for this will be made to
morrow. The committee reserves the
right to call witnesses in its own be
half, but the feeling is general that "The
arduous part of the workers finished.
All witnesses called by either ide rave
been excused, and many of them left
tonight for their homes. The investi
gation began January 5th, and up to
date too witnesses have been exam
ined. Their testimony will fill between
2400 and 2500 pages. The expense to
the government so far has been about
$27,000.
THE MODESTY OF GREATNESS.
Brilliant Writers Frequently Consp;c
uoas for Their Shyness."
A writer in London "M. A. P." thut
refers' to George W. Steevens, the bril
liant war correspondent, who died oi
fever in Lady smith: "I find it hard to

, He did not come to me, and I was
separated from him by the crowd; but
when I asked some question about G.
W. Steevens. I was told that he wat
here, and up they brought to me this
Shy boy, and then I identified the great,
strong, brilliant writer whose vivid
coloring sometimes, dazzled you, and
. whose pen had the grip of a vise upon
your attention and imagination with
this abashed and diffident boyish boy.
It was one of the most curious inr
stances I have met ot the absolute con
trast between the impression vou ijet of
a man from his writing and from hii
.own person in the flesh. ;. j
- I regret that I did not have an" op
portunity of getting more, closely ac
qua in ted with so original and fine a
spirit. But Mr. Steevens was not ' a
man to be easily met; he was nearly
1 alwavs abroad for hi innrml nrt -tin
. he was at home he lived. I believe,
mostly in the country. I I e had married
a lady somewhat older than himself;
had set up a large farm; and there,
amid rural -surroundings, and imong
his stepchildren, he gathered strength
for his next campaign. It is with re
ally sincere regret that every journalist
has heard of the death of so brilliant a
member of their corps, at so tarly an
age. and in the discharge M his duty
in the midst of war times' and war per
ns. I .
1 have spoken of his children, but it
was in a figurative ensc,i"or they we're
children by adoption, and rot his own.
He had always 12 waifs and strays un
Ier h;s care six boys and six girls.
They were collected from all the dark
corntrs of the world, and from slum
and alley, from workhouses and ;hieve
den, from parents that, were drunken
and from parents that had fled. And
under the care. of . poor Steevens and
Itis w ,'c- ihcy wore trained to. capacity
and honesty aid a fine chance in life.
Aid when- one or two were disposed

places. ' r ' j
-'I he okath cf Mr. Steevens wis quite
unexpected.. Indeed, Jf there "had been
she !ca-t feline vf peril to his hfatth
a'ia the wafT "persoial friend who
va .irs a his cnuloyer. would r.ot have
pt-nmttcd him. in go. Th'n. slight, boy-i-l
as he was m ap:x France, Mr. Stee

ficv.dache. Bv.t before he went Mr.
Steevens called on Mr. Harmsworth
and told him of the wife id who.n he
was devoted, and who had nude him
so happy, and commended her to Mr.
Harmsworth in case anything happen
ed. And $t was Mr. Hafmsworth's fad
and terrible duty to convey, to Mrs.
Steevens the terrible news .-f the gal

ends the most brilliant and promising
career, in his profession "of our genera

NOME PEOPLE HAVE PLENTY.
Enough of Everything They Need Ex-
: Cept Wood.
The "following valuable information
about Nome apd its surroundings are
gathered from Carl jvom Knobelsdorff
and Charles D. Campbell, -who arrived
at Dawson early in the month:
The rumors of the ' scarcity of food
at Nome are not founded on fact; on.
the contrary, the provisions on hand at
the various stores are ample for the
wants of the i,ooo people and -will last
up to the time the steamers unload new
supplies at the camp ext spring. The
one scarce article is wood, which was
selling at $65 a1 cord early in Decem
ber, and. the brisk demand would raise
the price still higher during the win
ter." j Many of the inhabitants and bus
iness firms had laid in a sufficient sup
ply for the winter at a time when the
driftwood was nearer at hand.
The; supply of wood along the beach
has been consumed for a distance of
fully; ten miles above and below Nome
Cityj j The hauling of wood -for that dis
tance jhad raised the price. The coal
supply for sale was . about exhausted,
and j the ruling price was fixed at 7
cents a pound. The Alaska Explora
tion.! Alaska Commercial and the North
American Transportation & Trading
companies and C. D. Lane and partner
had coal on hand for their own use.

FASTING FOR THEIR HEALTH
Ilmlade'phians Following Merchant
! Rathbtin's Plan.
Philadelphia. Pa, Feb. 7.- The story
from New York describing the exper
iment of Merchant Rathbun, who is
rafving himself back to health, has at
tracted wide attention here- Philadel
phians are acquainted with the no-foo('
short-cut to health, and many have
practiced it assiduously. , I

the starvation cure. She has gone for-j
ty-five days wthout food, and emerged
from her long. fast feeling 'like a new.
woman," as she expressed h.
Leonard Thress, -Bernhard Charles,
Elizabeth Westing and August Heynn
also have tried the starvation cure, an
assert there's nothing like it to reduce
flesh . and-restore one to the vigor of
youth.
These last-named Philadelohians had
themselves photographed in a group.
and they are exhibiting the picture as
a testimonial of the efficacy of the star
vation cure which Mr. Rathbun is un
dergoing in Now York. Each has
gone, wnhout food for periods ranging
from ten to twenty days.
Miss Kuenzel s record of forty-five
days is without parallel here. They
each say it is much morc.dinrcult for a
Philadelphian to starve himself than it
is; for a New Yorker, for the latter is
never tempted by the savory scrapple,
the fascination of which is extremely
difficult for a Quaker to resist.
Rathbun s idea has taken deep root
here, and the idea of starving one's self
in order toimprove the health is be
coming a' fad, although no one except
those mentioned has fasted for mart
than a day or two at a time.. Physicians
say the stomach should have a rest, and
that a day's fasting now and then is
good for the ' general health of the
.aster. St. Louis Kepubnc
NO BLUE 1 MOLD THERE. W.
W. Skinner, agent of the Southern .Pa
cific at-Salem, says the report that wai
recently sent out1 concerning the blue
nold in the hops stored n the ware
house of the company here was mislead
ing. He says that not a bale has been
received here with any blue mold in it:
md that no such mold has appeared in
my of the hops on storage. Sorm
hops have been shipped in from outside
points which were slightly affected in
his manner. They had evidently ben
kept in improperly constructed buHd-
ngs. which let in the fcg and dampness.
Mr. Skinner thinks 'this subject has re
ceived more attention than it deserves:
hat there has been a great hue and
cry over the mold, where there has
ccn verv slight reason for it. Anvwar

(From Daily, March 3d.)
There was a rumor current on. Sa
lem's streets yesterday to the effect that
the preliminary work, Jooking to the
reconstruction of the Salem Flouring
Mills Company's plant in this city,
would be instituted in the very near fu
ture;, but the report could not be veri
fied at official quarters. Inquiry of H.
B. Holland, the company's local agent,
elicited the information that there was
nothing new to announce. ;
It is to be hoped, however, that the
rumor is authentic and there is every
reason to indicate that . the preseni
month will see a verification of the report.-

Salem is "the natural marketing point

tural districts of the Willamette valley.

the only institution of the kind- located
in the Capital City cannot afford tc
abandon such an excellent field, and
there is no indication that it will. It has
a well-established business here and
there is little doubt but that the com
pany will be amply prepared to handle
tnis years grain crop. '

of it and. at the same time be operated

old mill had a capacity of 500 barrels
ana was run only periodically, the pro
uu.i vTi uic piani exceeding tne con
sumption, tnus necessitating the shut
ting down of the institution for a ran
siderable length of time at the concluJ
sion oi each run.
Those who claim to know the inten
tions of the mill company, aver that the
work of construction will begin within
tne next thirty days and that the mill"
win te completed and ready for receiv

season. Nothing would give South
