tho following Intorview:
Went to Seaside for n Rest.
"I cannot soo thnt thoro was any
thing strango about my going to Sea
side. I wont thoro for rest from tho
pulling nnd hauling of politics and
from tho labors of my newspaper
work, which had boon sovore In the
last few wcoks. Last Thursday
night, whllo wnltlnc for tho train
that did not go to Salem, on account
of tho Hoods. I stood In the rain,
from tho effects of which I beenmo
111 In tho course- of tho night. Whon
morning camo I decided on a trip to
tho beach. My affairs at homo wcro
In such shapo that I could easily got
nway, and as the contest for speakor
seemed ended. I thought I would
spend tho noxt two or threo days In
rost nnd qulot. A lettor which I sont
to my family at Salem, tolling of my
departure, did not roach Mrs. Dnvey,
on account of Interruption of tho
mnll servlco by floods, until today,
whon sont back to Portland. Tho
thought novor entorcd my head that
my absenco would make n furor."

Marlon county, who was supposed to
havo mystorlously disappeared, re
turned to Portlnnd from Sonslde,
whero ho had been slnco last Fri

feared that ho was tho victim of
somo political conspiracy, having for
its object his defeat as speaker of
tho houso and injuring tho causo of
Jonathan Bourne.
! Mr. Davoy, who was In Portland
Thursday and Intended returning to
! his post as managing editor of tho

Thursday night that, as the trains
I were demoralized, owing to the
storm, ho would return Friday

Pacific trains Friday foronoon, so
(Davey decided to tako a trip to tho
beach.
"I was worn out," explained Mr.
Davey, "and concluded that slnco I
could not go homo tho best thing for
mo to do was to run down to the
coast and rest two or three days. It
was tho only way I could get out of
Portland, and I needed tho rest.
"No one was moro astonished than
I when I learned, coming up from
Astoria, that I was being hunted for
high and low in Portland a nd that
my so-called disappearance had
caused a commotion In political cir
cles." appeared at noon, Mr. Davoy hUS..
From Friday morning until be
