WASHINGTON. March 29.-It was reported to-

of the leading Democratic members of the
House committee ways and means, was
making overtures to members of the Ohio dele
CATION to secure their votes on the Mills tariff
bill, and was offering to make concessions

what he thought there was in this rumor. and
he said: There can be nothing in it whatever.
Ths majority were unanimous feature
of the bill, if no other, and that was that We
would rather fail with free wool than succeed IN
passing any kind of bill without free wool I

the bill with free wool III it. expect the bill

Union, and try to have it amended. but am
sure that all of them, excepting probably Foran,

PROBABLY DROWNED.
Young. the Trspper. Missing fr,m
HIs Home.


A. Y. Young. better known A.
fouHg the trapper, Is missing and i
supposed to have been drowned. For
many years he has resided AZ West
Seattle near the mouth OF the Duvam-
ish river. He was hunter and tran
Per, and lived a sort of hermit's life.
He had number Of dogs and lot of
chickens. and was never known to be
away from home for any length Of
TINE before. He was enpioved nv
sheriff Gochrane to look after his boom
Of logs at the mouth OF the river. for
which he received 80 cents per day.
Indian Harry. who lives a short d.
lance from hr. Young. came to Seat
Tie yesterday and stated thar the Old
man had been away from home
since sunday, and fears were enter
tanned that he had been drowned. lie
vas seen 10 leave home Sunday in his
Nat boat for the mouth of the river.
and when he did not return in the
evening, the Indians thought il
strange. The next day they went in
search OF him, and found his boat
rnoorefi to the boom, but Young was
no where to be found. After a thor
cugh search the Indians came 10 seat
tie and notified the sheriff, who dep
ltized man TO go ont and drag for
the body. The man had not returned
at midnight. Young il known by
many citizens Of Seattle, and Il said to
be the owner ~ considerable property
IN North Seattle. The general impress
sion Is that while working about the
boom he feb into the river and was
drowned.

ANOTHER CRAZY MAN.
Like Many Others He Imagines Some
one is Seeking His Life.

Daniel Flynn came TO Seattle on the
steamer Olympian, from Victoria, Mon
day. Late at night he engaged hack
and drove about the city. While com
ing down Front street, absut o'clock
yesterday morning. he jumped from
the hack and shouted that Phinney
has robbed me and wants to kill me.
Policeman Thompson took the man in
charge and locked him up, As it was
evident that he was suffering from in
sanity. Flynn was examined in the
probate court yesterday and ordered
committed 90 the Steilaeoom insane
asylum. His principal delusion seems
TO be that some person named Phin-
uey wants 90 Kill him, and he could
not tell In what parr of the country he
was yesterday. He Is 81 years OF age
and OF respectable appearance He
says he + am auctioueer and has n wife
and II children in -. Paul. He re-
Gently came TO Victoria from San
Francisco. His conversation Ia dis
jointed. but 10 test his statement that
he was an auctioncer the examining
physician gave him his watch to sell
and he knocked it down to the highest
bidder in the most approved style.

NOT EXACTLY A BURGLAR.
Result Of an Armed Expedition Monday
Night.

Messrs. Peterson 4 faben, attorneys.
occupy three rooms as offices at the
corner OF Mill and Commercial streets.
Mr.. Faben went to lodge meeting
Monday evening and when Mr.. Peter
son left the Office atg o'clock, he found
that his partner had the key 10 the
main office door. lie placed the back
OF large arm chair under the door
knob, securely fastening IT. He then
slipped out OF side door TO which he
had a kew. About an hour later Mr..
faben came down 10 the office, un-
locked the main door and turned the
knob. The door opened about half OF
an inch and then rebounded az though
pushed from the inside Mr.. Faben's
hair began to raise and his eyes TO
bulge lie redoubled his efforts 10
open the door, but each time il re-
bounded by the force of the spring in
the back OF the chair. Mr.. Faben con-
Guided that the man inside was
stronger than he and went down three
stairs 1T time in search OF police
man. He did not find an officer, but
ran into Frasch brothers grocery
store and told them there was
burglar in his Office. The trio
armed themselves with revotvers and
a Misunderstanding cheese knife, and
resolved to m ,.s.e snort work of the
ihlfs.er. The door resisted their
united efforts for awhile, but finally
gave way suddenly, and at the same
time the chair few up against the safe
with crash. "He's gone into the
other room and slammed the door
and locked himself In" whispered
one, Their suspicious were confirmed
when they got inside and found the
inside office door locked. Charles
Frasch mounted guard at the door
with the cheese knife, while his
brother opened the window and held
cooked revolver, determined 10 shoot
the burglar ii he jumped from the adj
joining room TO the street. Mr.. Faben
then calamity went around 10 the
other door to the inside office, I'M
locked il. and went in and investi-
gated He found nothing, and called
his companions. A consultation en-
sued, the chair was found bottom
side up against the safe, and gradually
some light began to dawn upon. them.
The cheese knife was sheathed, the re-
yolvers pocketed, and the trio sat
down, wiped the beads of perspiration
from their foreheads and had quiet

THE ACTUAL LOSS.
Further Details Of the Early Morning
Fire Yesterday.

The King street boiler works, which
were burned at an early hour yester-
day morning, as announced in yester-
days paper, belonged to Mr.. l.. v.
Penny, and the building to the Oregon
Improvement Company. The build
ing was new. and valued at about sioo.
II was covered by insurance. Mr.
Penny's loss viii amount to about
1920. He carried no insurance. The
loss consisted OF damage TO tools,
machinery and unfinished work.
There seems TO be a mystery regard
ing the origin of the fire, as there had
been no work going on in the shop re-
curing a fire. The debris viii at once
be cleared away. and new shop built
on the same site for Mr.. Penny.

FAvoRABLY RECEIVED.
The Proposition to Extend Front Street
to Washington.

1t is understood that nearly all of
the property owners in block eight are
willing to give the city sufficient lard
to permit OF the widening of the alley
to 50 feet. thus practically extending
Front street through 10 Washington
and relieving the pressure at the inter
section of Commercial and Mill streets.
]. II. Sanderson and \. Sorensen have
improvements on their lots, but are
willing to permit the widening of the
alley if allowed reasonable compen-
sation for damages. Ii seems to be
the general sentiment that the city
council should take the matter in
hand and secure donations of land
from owners willing to contribute and
appoint committee TO assess the
damages in eases where damage would
be caused. The widening Of the alley
to 4 55-toet street would undoubtedly
considerably enhance the value of
abutting property, as well as be a de-
ciied convenience TO the public.

ditor's office. The amounts asked for

mon Jacobs received q telegram from
the managers of the freight depart

stating that they would ship his nine

Captain Jacobs had no idea of ship

in refrigerator cars in bulk and take
the chances, as he does not want to
remain idle In the meantime he will
