C rover Cleveland, on being shown an
altered Interview statins he had no de
sire to re-enter public life, said:
The substance of the Interview as
published Is in some' respects grossly
y inaccurate. There are statements at
tributed to me I certainly would not
- have made to a person nc nearer to me
and no more In my confidence than
Mr. "Bailey who visited me. He left me
without the least hint that I had been
Interviewed for publication."

Mr. Bstley Denies Charge.
Washington, June 19 G. M- Bailey,
the Washington Correspondent of the
Galvtston-Dallae News, said tonight,
with reference to , Cleveland's, state
ment, that the former President must
have overlooked a- letter sent Cleve
land and the reply, when he Intimated
that Tie did not know Mr. Bailey was
there with the purpose of obtaining; an
Interview. If there is any inaccuracy
in any part of the story he regrets It.
There was no purpose to do Mr. Cleve
land an injustice and the story was
kindly throughout. :

dent Cleveland as say in

nn Instant that I have any desire to
re-enter public life. Nor have I re
motely entertained the thought since I
lft Washington, more than six years
ago. .'The matter is as far from my
thoughts as it was iii 1896, when, all
must admit,' It was not within my bear
ing or my sight. I have no higher as
piration than to pass my days in peace
with my family around me. and take
no part in politics which any private
Htizen cannot take with the utmost
propriety, j ,
"I have not spoken to anybody on
the subject! of a fourth candidacy. I
have never! written to single political
friend one way or the other, nor have I
l-en written to" or spoken to by them.
There is not a political leader . of any
prominence endeavoring Ao advance
nny movement to nominate me In any
Plate, so far as I have been advised,
nor do I anticipate that any such effort
will be made by any leader, prominent
or obscure. In any locality in the coun?

a year undertaken to perform the
labor which usually , falls to the pri

a frmrist. a lecturer and a minister.
In his satchel was found a full bank
ing,, outfit. Including 600 Imitation
drafts on the. National Park Bank, of
New York. ? The police of Chicago have
been" working on the case for more
than a year, or ever since it was dis
covered that the drafts -were printed In
this city, where the "professor ap
parently had headquarters.
The alias. "Professor Arthur." was
the name under which he made his last
arr?arance as "an eminent member of
the faculty of Hamilton College," as
he J reported to have represented him
self. He was to' hare lectured last
n!gh In Hinsdale on "Egypt and the
Orient." i
As "J. 8. C. Bliss" he Is said to have
posed as the vice president of the Peo

Tenn. A Quantity of drafts and sta

journed term, of the circuit court "held
today to pass sentence on W. P. Pea
cock, for the murder of Alexander Kerr
on May 18, 1903, a motion : for a new

mediately sent to Salem. I
(Peacock, the condemned murderer
arrived In Salem yesterday In the cus
tody of Sheriff F6rd,:of Polk county,
and was taken directly to the peniten
tiary where he was placed in a strong
cell off to himself. He is a hunchback
and Is about - 34 , years of age. He
maintained a sullen and Indifferent sil
ence to' all questions asked him and to
all intents and purposes appeared to be
absolutely unconcerned as to his fate.
It is said that Peacock's attorneys will
appeal the case, basing their appeal
principally upon Insanity., If Pea
cock Is hanged he will be the first to
suffer the death penalty at the Peni
tentiary under the new law.)

CONTRIBUTIONS BEING FOR
WARDED FROM ALU OVER. .
HEPPNER, Or, June 19. Ten more
bodies were found In the debris along
Willow creek today.. Three gangs of
men will continue the search for bodies
tomorrow and then the task will be
given up. The town Is in a deplorable
condition and Mayor Gilliam says more
money is needed Immediately. The O.
R. & N. Co. will have Its line repaired
by tomorrow morning when the regu
lar service to this point will be re
sumed, 'i a ' : V' 1'
L The apparent stoicism of the surviv
ors who have lost relatives Is astonish
ing, the, only explanation - being that
the situation is not yet realized. Real
ization wll come when the thousands
of helpers leave town and the remaining-
population finds the streets desert
ed. Many, women said today they
were afraid to stay here when the peo
ple were left alone with their dead.
Men talk with dry eyes of wives f and
children killed. Many say that they
do. not know yet what has happened. "
A pitiful scene was witnessed last
evening In the morgue, when a mother
and her babe flay side by side, having
been found together in 1 a drift- two
miles below town, from which six bo
dies had already been taken, with more
to come. The woman was Mrs. George
Kinsley. There are many children still
to fin 2. ' "'
No more laborers are needed, as all
that can be fed are here, i
Mayor Frank Gilliam and Sheriff E.
M. Shutt have Issued orders to all per
sons not, working or with business to
transact to leave town as soon as pos
sible. No attempt'. Is being made to
save boards or timber It Is a question
of a-etting the ruins out of sight. . j
The question of rebuilding the town
is still unsettled. Some think that V
place is permanently, injured, and a
majority think it win not be rebuilt
for several years. Leading-. men. how
ever, declare that fine brick structures
will go up strong enough to withstand
floods: that the streets will be terraced
back from the creek, and that new and
better homes will be erected on the
hillsides. Heppner's location at the
mouth of thevfour canyons makes re
building in the bottoms a dangerous
proposition. ;)
P. C. Crlswall, a local cattleman, has
given 100 head of cattle to the flood
survivors, and has donatedjMOOd, all he
had in the bank, to the sufferers. I
Bodies Carried 100 Miles.
Carson. Skamania county. Wash.
June 19. Sheriff Jonh T. Tott and P.
E. Michell, Justice of the Peace, were
notified yesterday, that the bodies of a
woman and a boy had been foundcast
ashore at Carson Landing on the Co
lumbia river. The bodies showed signs
of , having been In the water for at
least three or four days, and Were
somewhat mutilated. This leads to the
belief that they are the remains of vic
tims of the Heppner disaster, carried
away with the .current, which is flow
ing rapidly at this time.

Indianapolis, Ind.. June 19, The con
vention of the Modern Woodmen of the

VANCOUVER, B. C, June 19v An
Insane man tho settlers call him a
wild man Is scaring- the people about
Stave Lake, some distance from here,
on themaln line of the Canadian Pa

to s state of nature and is wandering;

his sleeping- place in a big cedar stump
and acts altogether as If he had gone
right out of his mind. The police are
after him. Provincial Constable Lane,
Of Mission, has been sent to arrest him.
Fearing; that the 'man might commit
some serious act the residents of (he
district asked for "police Interference

wild man. So far the unfortunate's

of W. E.' Thompson, on the Cowyhee.
A bolt entered the rear of the house,
tearing off a window casing- as It pass
ed in and breaking' out all the glass In
the window. An iron bedstead In which
two men were sleeping- was struck,
bending the large frame out of place
in many parts of It. The bolt was di
vided by one of the posts, one fork
passing to a cupboard and shattering
U and then passing through, the floor
in the room. The other bolt glanced to
the chimney and. followed It down to
the first floor to the stove and passed
out through the floor by one of the
stove legs. The occupants of the bed
were uninjured. . - :

WASHINGTON, June 19. The time
of the Cabinet meeting- today was con
sumed in a, large part In considering
the decision of the United States Gov
ernment to disregard the decision of
Virginia and seize the uncompleted
gunboat Galveston, at Trigg-. Shipyards
Richmond. Attorney General Knox
presented an opinion strongly affirming
the right of the .Government to dis
regard the injunction. In opinion Attorney-General
Knox Says;.
"Right of a party In ordalnary liti
gation, to the release of property for at
tachment upon giving, a bond for in
demnity is fundamental. . It manifestly
applies with, greater force and reason
in a case affecting the government
than where the interests of private liti
gants alone are involved. -Statute 1864
enables the government, although not
a party, nor in . general , subject to be
made such, to Intervene without pre
judice and invoke that doctrine.
The cabinet, . after -considering the
opinion, unanimously ""cidd that the
government case was sound, and an ef
fort will be made to launch the boat
next Monday. - It is expected that the
Virginia judge will recede ? from his
position and avoid a clash at Rich
mond. -

Yesterday morning- shortly after mid

burglarized and & small amount of cash
was taken i from each. , f
John Becker's saloon was entered by
prying open a back window. A slot
machine was robbed - of its contents,
about $1S In cash, and one or two bot
tles of whiskey were taken. The rob
bers then entered Ed.. Dupuls saloon
In a similar manner, took about IS from
the. cash drawer, and four bottles of
whiskey from the shelves.
, They had now secured cash, and the
wherewith to quench their thirst, but
they were still hungry, so their next
call was at the Depot Hotel. They
gained an entrance, andTcarrled off all
of the meat In sight, a fine lot of fresh
baked- pies and everything- else ' . which
looked eatable to them. No trace of
the robbers has yet been found, but It
Is thought that the theft must have
been committed by two tramps who
were passing- through.
