WILL 1T PASS?
Some Strong Fighting Being Made
Againt House Bill No. 10.

Monday at two o'clock the much
talked of portland water bill" will
come up in the House, and the re-
suit in still shrouded in a mist.
The bill has been passed in the
Senate over the Governors veto, but
it will not be met so favorable in the
House, and as it will require forty
votes in the House to become cOnsti-
tutional it will push the supporters
TO make it. There are a number OF
men from the city of Portland who
are financially interested in the
passage of the bill at the state house
using their utmost power in its
favor, while nj the same time there
are number of representatives who
are working for the people who do
not intend to allow its passage if II
lies in their power to overthrow it.
1t has been limited that the precious
metaPp has been shown to some re-
presentatives and whether or not il
will gllulnier their ewes isSet TO be
seen. The people are against any
such bill and it is hoped it will not

WEsTCHEsTER, Aug. 24-The Great
Eclipse stakes, handicap sweepstakes of
$3.50 each, with $4,000 added, of which
$1,000 went to the second horse, and 81. 900
to the third horse, for 2-year-olds, and
worth TO the winner S26, ,625, was won this
afternoon by FL Rio Rey, the unbeaten
pride of California Eberlee was second
and Banquet third. The time was liza.
Twenty-Five thousand persons saw the
race. The day and track were perfect,
weather delightful The event of the day
was fixed for $50 o'clock, but 1t was that
time before the racers were summoned to
the post By the bugle. AS soon as they
had all FTrived Caldwell got down and
said: "Now, boys, this is a big stake and
l want all TO have good chance. l am not
going 20 start you until get into the stand
and will start you with flag, and will
not use my handkerchief. Remember. it
will be flag and L will drop it," All were
soon ready but Cameo, who was slow to
return, but Henderson turned in front
and down went the flag to the
best start ever seen on a race track.
of course there was a leader, and Levonia
had that honor. She was followed by Cay
uga, Dev0tee, FL Rio Rey and Torso, with
Cameo and June Day bringing up the rear.
Ii is safe 70 say there were not two lengths
between the nose Of the first and the tail of
the last one as they swung into the straight
stretch. Fl Rio Rey was in the lead,
with Cayuga, Devotee and Levonia
next. On they came, seemingly slowly
for their speed cannot be judged from the
stand As they rain out Of the dip
Wenchell shook his whip at the California
crack. He instantly shot out q couple OF
lengths further ahead and then was stead
led. Great heavens" said q well known
turfmsn- There is only one In IT. Fl
Rio Rey walks home" It was fact. He
had the field at his mercy and merely
played with IT, By comparison they
hardly appeared 70 be moving, as be,
though only walking in, was able 70
keep q length ahead Of his nearest pursuers
with the greatest ease. 1t was all over
but the shouting long before the las. fur
long was reached. Expressions of sdora-
ton for the great colt were made all over
the stand and lawn. On they came, whip
ping and spurring, but Fl Rio Rey's sides
and tanks were untouched. AS stately as
noble ship sailing into harbor he went by
the judges, the easiest Of easy winners by
four lengths, and be might have made IL q
dozen. Eberle was second, two lengths be-

II. c. Powers Conduct Two Years Ago
Seals His Fate Now.
GREAT FALLS, Mon, Aug. A.-[Special
to the Independent THE nomination of
T. G. Power is received with marked dis
favor here. The republicans are either
cold or absolutely hostile IL is recalled
that two years ago, when republicans and
democrats demanded unitedly that this
new county be formed, T. c. Power bitterly
opposed the scheme and for time defeated
IL. He renewed his opposition at the spe-
cIal session of 1887, but without avail, for
the Cascade county bill was passed by a
still before the legislature Power wrote
against it an atrocious letter, which he had
published in Helena. Referring TO that
letter the Tribune says:
"The opposition are on the run. They
have placed at the head of their ticket q
man who is odious to the people Of Cascade
county, the 'anDer county, which held the
balance of power in the May election.
They have chosen from all tn IT veterans
the author of the infamous sun River let
ter, a letter written by Thos. G. Power,
with the avowed purpose of dissaading the
Montana legislature from granting home
rule TO Cascade county, when in the special
session of 1887 our people asked the legis-
lature 70 give us the reasonable boon OF
separate county government The words
of that letter have burr ed deeply into the
minds of the people of Cascade, repubIi-
cans as well as democrats, and Will lose
Power the votes of most of his own party
in this county. The Sun River letter
will do more than that-it will lose
Thos. G. Power the support of good,
broad minded men throughout MontaLa.
In il Thos. e. Power DETAINED the people
of Cascade county; declared that we were
not entitled to separate county govern
ment; denounced the attempt 10 secede
from Choteau as an infamous scheme to
sell town lots; siandered hOnored citizens
and displayed throughout venom which
would entitle the writer 70 be called Kat
tlesnake Power. This letter was so char
acteristic of Thomas c. Power, so narrow,
so bitter so wanton, that we repeat when
the circums' ances become known it will
lose Power the support of liberal men of
all parties"

Horrible Fate.
NEW YORK, Aug. 24-The Pacific Mail
steamship City of Para, with twenty nine
cabin passengers, arrived at Sandy Hook
this morning from Aspinwall. The avn
ngs OF her forward hatch were burned and
scorched and she had the outward marks
Of a big fire which came near destroying
the vessel and its precious cargo. The
City of Para left New York the first part
of this month with q full cargo of mer-
chandise. She reached Aspinwall in due
season and the 'longshoremen and sailors
had discharged $50 tons of cargo from the
hold when fire was discovered among the
cotton in the naval stores, which were
slowed in the forward compartment This
was on the evening Of Aug. IL, two days
after the vessels arrival. The IRE had
gained complete control of the fore hold
when discovered, and before the alarm
could be sounded great sheets OF fame and
volumes of smoke hlled the air over the
forward part of the craft. The flames at
tracted the attention of the ancient fire de-
partment of Aspinwall, which turned out,
and vito a number of American laborers
about the dock, set TO work to assist the
people of the steamship. All through the
night of the llth men tOiled, and several
fell exhausted as morning came on. from
overwork. The 18th opened with the fire
still burning dercely, and toward noon of
that day IL looked as IL the steamer ~as
doomed
During the afternoon Of the 18th the
flames went down as suddenly as they be-
gan, and at O'Clock Captain lockwood,
skipper of the ship, reported the ire ex-
tinguished. A very considerable quantity
of the cargo was destroyed. and the inter
ior of the vessel is sadly damaged
