to move a train on its Wakefield
branch since last Saturday on account
o f washouts. . President Burt, of the
Union Pacific;: Superintendent of
Transportation : Buckingham, and 60
linemen and telegraph operators went
west today to open the line. All the
Union Pacific trains are now running
over the Burlington lines to Lincoln,
and thence to Grand Island, to avoid
the washouts. All the other roads with
western onnection are experiencing
similar trouble with washouts.
Flood reports are coming : in today
from a number of towns along the Elk
horn. Platte and Loup rivers. The
most serious situation is at Columbus
and Fremont. At the latter place the
water, late last night, covered the low
er part of the town. Inglewood, in the
Southern limits, was under water by
midnight, and many people had retired
ignorant of their danger, and - were
awakened by the water . rushing into
their homes. The water is stationary
today, and it is believed the high point
has been reached. The towns of Stan
ton. Schuyler, Central City and St.
Paul are still in the center of flooded
districts. i'
All trains from the West were late
into Omaha today.

Union Pacific were-.washed out by the
floods last night. J The Rock Island
bridge at South 'Bend was torn loow
and bore down upon the bridges at
Louisville, destroying the middle spans
and the waters washed out the remain
der. Today the lowlands on the Platte
foij miles from Schuyler to the mouth at
Plattsmouth are under water. At va
rious places the i Union Pacific tracks
are under water for a mile or two at a
stretch. ; . I . '

BAKER CITT, Or., March 10. The
mining men ' of Eastern Oregon have
Jecided to invoke the referendum
against the Eddy bill, enacted by the
last Legislature, which Imposes a tax
on all corporations doing business in
the state, in proportion to the amount
of the capital stock. The mining men
insist that it will retard the growth and
progress of their industry.
Petitions are now In eoure of prepar
ation to be circulated for signatures.
It will require over 4000 names in order
to set the referendum machinery in mo
tion, but the mining men insist that
they can secure the necessary number.
2 WASHINGTON, March 10. Senator
Morgan today secured the first materi
al concession that has been made to
him by the Senate in connection with
the Panama Canal Treaty with Colom
bia. This consisted of an agreement to
attach the Spooner Canal Act-bodily to
the treaty. The change was made In
compliance with a request presented by
Senator Lodre during- the executive
session of the Senate today after the
necessity for it had been discussed by
Morgan and other members of the Sen
ate committee.
Mr. Daniel expressed the opinion that
as the preamble to the treaty calls for
the attachment of a copy of the act.
that the attachment -was necessary to
preserve the terms of the document In
tact. Senator Morgan contended that,
without this attachment, the treaty was
absolutely Invalid.
Senators Teller and Hoar took the
opposite view urging that, as the act
was In existence, and of record on the
annals of the United States, physical
annexation was or no consequence
whatever. Senator Lodge, however.
suggested that no injury could result
from the attachment of the act. and
unanimous consent was given to do so.
It was specifically stipulated, however.
that this concession did not amount to
an amendment of the treaty.
Morgan consumed the entire time of
the remainder of the executive session
discussing the canal question from the
various points of view.

Olympia. Wash., March 10. Governor
McBride today vetoed the Senate bill
repealing the newspaper libel law. The
law now In existence permits the pa
pers to avoid prosecution for libel by
publishing a retraction in three issues.
The Senate has made the consideration
of the veto a special order for tomor
row afternoon. The bills making ap
propriations for exhibits at the. St.
Louis and Portland fairs passed the
t legislature today. - The appropriation

by the Senate, carried $50,000, but the
amount was cut down to $25,000 by the
House. -
TACOMA, Wash, March 10. When
David Kenny and JIs brother, J. R.
Kenny, ' were arraigned before Judge
Griffin In the justice court yesterday
afternoon for a preliminary hearing on
the warrants charging them with be
ing fugitives from justice, they were
immediately released, and the $3000
cash ball which they, had up with the
clerk was restored to them.
This action, it is believed, will end
the case, so. far as the attempt of J. IL
Aker, of Orting, father of David Ken
, nys 15-year-old : bride, may be con
cerned. The young man was charged
with perjury in j swearing to the age
of his girl bride when he secured his
marriage license at Portland i last
month. The brother, J. R. Kenny, was
charged : with subornation of perjury
in conection with the same case.
On Saturday afternoon Governor He
IJride heard attorneys in the case in
the application for extradition papers
to take the young people back to Port
land at the request of the irate father
for trial. At the conclusion of the
hearing the Governor said:
"It is my opinion in this casethat
the circumstances clearly tend to prove
that there has been no undue influ-
ene used by the Kenny boys, and I do
not feel like hastily condemning to an
unsympathetic court of law in another
state two young men, who, to all ap
pearances, have acted as they thought
was rlght.: lender the circumstances
as they appear to me, I feel that I am
justified In deferring all action at pres.
ent. If the Oregon authorities care to
press the prosecution further, it will
then be time to consider It with refer
ence to stern law. We will allow the
matter to remain n status , quo for the
present," 1
As the father of the youn bride is
about the only person who seems to be
actively Interested In pressing- a pros
ecution, It Is believed that the action
of the Governor and of the local justice
court has settled the case, and that
the young people may now go ahead
and complete their plans for the estab
lishment of a home on the bridegroom's
farm near Orting.

Jefferson City, r Mo., March 10. The
following resolution was adopted by the j

i "Resolved thaT this House deprecates

der of Judge Elmer 3. Adams, of .the
Federal Circuit Court, in St. Louis, who

ers of the railway unions in the pending
Controversy with the Wabash Railway

Many Brownsville citizens are Im

other ornamental shrubbery. There is
nothing that adds so much to the ap

THINK PASSENGER INFESTED
WITH CHOLERA.
PORTLAND, Ore.. March 10. Vic
toria dock, situated on the east bank
of the Willamette j river Just north of
the railroad bridge, was entirely de
stroyed by fire, about noon today, to
gether with 10,000 tons of salt stored on
the dock. The total loss is estimated
at $400,000, and the insurance is about
$340,000.
It is certain that the fire was started
by an Incendiary, as a man was seen
leaving the dock after the fire had
gained some headway. The police sta
tion was noticed as soon as possible,
but before an officer arrived on the
scene the man disappeared. Three
times during the past fortnight fires
have been started in the docks In this
chy, and it is supposed that the same
man is responsible for all.
Fire broke out on the dock shortly
bfeore noon, and it looked for a while
as though the entire line of docks on
the east side of the river would be
burned, and several times Irving dock,
adjoining, caught fire, but by a dill-
gent effort on the part of the fire de
partment, the flames were confined to
the. Victoria dock and a few small
buildings hear by.
It was late this afternoon before the
fire was entirely under control, and to4
night the great piles of wheat are still
smouldering. - i
The barkentine Amazon "was moored
near the dock, and had it not been for
the fact that the wind was blowing
from the vessel, it would have been de
stroyed. Several small houses near the
dock were destroyed, the loss on the
houses aggregating $6000. The losses
In detail were as follows:
Ten thousand tons of wheat owned
by the Northwest Warehouse Company,
$250,000. fully Insured.
Two thousand tons of salt, owned by
T, M. Stevens '& Co... $50,000. fully In
sured.
Victoria Dock, owned by E. W. Spen
cer. $65,000, Insurance. $30,000.
. Flour,. machinery and other merchan
dlse, stored on the dock, $30,000.
, Earlier in the day the half block of
frame buildings bounded by Mississip
pi, Russell and, Goldsmith streets in
Albina, not far from the Victoria dock,
was destroyed. Eighteen families who
lived in the block were rendered home
less. The ground floor was occupied
by several small stores. The total loss
is about $25,000.
