A Lost Child.

Mr.. and Mrs. Gus Stangier were given an
agonizing scare Sunday evening by the loss
of their child, little fellow about two
years old, who is evidently precocious
youngster with a desire to explore the world
outside of the home circle. he strayed away
from the house. wearing his fathers nat
and wheeling toy wheelbarrow. and
exulting in his new-found freedom, followed
Ed Bayliss and q. G. Anderson to the
latters' residence on Lewis street. Police
officers and friends were put on the trail of
the little one without avail, and he had been
almost given up for lost by his despairing
mother when brought back down town by
Mr.. Bayliss and restored to her arms. He
will not be allowed to start out by himself
ON any more exploring expeditions.

Please permit me through the columns of
your paper to sta te that the people of this
vicinity are at loss to know why the edi-
tor of the Sun should convey the impression
that Cartwright and Gourlay are not farm
ers. 1t is well known that they both own
farms, and have both been farmers for
years. Their far,Ls are being cultivated
under their supervision at the present time.
Bat suppose. for arguments sake, that they
are residents of The Dalles, are not Crossen
and Gates also! And are not the county
nominees of the third party all taken from.
this precinct! Ii there is a difference where
is it! And we have no visible evidence
that Crossen or Gates ever owned farm, or
ever did days work on farm. And
their nomination reminds me of the govern
ment appointments by the Republican adj
ministrat,on, which has caused SO much
grumbliDg. namely, the appointment of Gil
bert, Steele and Earhart; then for change,

STORM IN BALTIMORE.

WASHINGTON, Apfn 27.-I'he sigma!
Office furnishes the following report from
the signal service observer at Baltimore
The heaviest Eai! storm on record at this
station passed over Baltimore from the
northwest to the southeast between 3 :45
and P. M. Many thousands of win
dows in the city were broken, the dam
age being confined mainly to western
exposure. Many runaways are reported.
Sumo horses and carriages were aban-
doned in the streets, their owners leaving
them to seek shelter. 1t is probable a
number of people were injured as the
stones were very large, some measuring
more than two inches in diameter and
weighing more than four ounces each.
The extent of the damage has not yet
been ascertained, but 1t must have been
very great. Very heavy rain fell with
hail about one hundredth of an inch fall
ing between 8. 40 P. NJ. and 4 80 P. NJ.
Many of the car tracks at the foot of the
hills are covered to depth of six inches
with the soil washed down upon them.
The wind at 800 attained velocity of
thirty miles per hour, rapidly decreasing
after the passage OF the storm.
PRECAUTIONS AGAINST THE MAY PICNIC.
BERLIN, April 26.-The emperor has
telegrap phed instructions to Chancellor
voa Caprivi, regarding the attitude of the
authorities throughout the country toward
the May celebration. Reports from pop
ulous centers shows that the authorities in
some places are preparing 10 suppress the
public demonstrations by the use of
soldiery. In other places they are con-
6nlng themselves to issuing warnings
against excesses. The chancellor has
made arrangements to secure unity OF
action between the authorities. Although
it is expected II official circles that the
day will pass over quietly, every pre-
caution will be taken for the prompt
Suppression of disorder. Troops will be
kept within their barracks, in order to
avoid collision with those taking part
in the celebration, but will be ready 10
act if required.
FLOOD IN TEXAS.
DALLAS, Tex, April 27.-The most de-
structive food ever known in the history
nf North Texas is now passing through
Trinity. The great rain has raised every
tributary of it far out of their banks.
Yesterday and last night it rose rapidly
and tins morning passed the highest
water mark in fifty years. In front OF
this city it is two miles wide. extending
to the foot of Flanders heights west and
to Oak cliff south of the city. On the
north all the residences from 100 yards
beyond Cocbrane street are submerged,
some to the second floor and Others 10

THE WIRES.

The weather within the past twenty
four hours has efrectually demonstrated
the advisabrity of putting the electric
wires under ground. Nearly every wire
i'm the city was broken by the snow
storm yesterday, and nearly all day tel
egraphic communication with the rest
of the world was completely cut oil, the
electric ears were stopped, and only q
few places last night were lighted by
electricity. Pittsburg suffered even
worse than Wheeling Ths storm was
scverer there and several horses were
killed by falling electric wires.
The telegraph. telephone and electric
light companies are at the present mo-
ment. probably rs fervent a any one In
wishing that their wires were now safe
and intact in underground conduit'
where storms can not harm nor winds
nor SHOWS break In.
Aside from this feature, however

the air above our heads is filled with

In 4 recent interview Mr.. BARTON
ATKINS, OF Buffalo, \. Y, who was for
four years 4 government official in
Alaska, dlscredited the reports Of a
scarcity of fur seals in Alaskan waters,
which have been made the basis OF Sec

British ''poachiug and maraudins' in

IS sustained. and Mr.. BLAINE'> argu-
meut is practically upset, by the re-
ports Of Mr.. GEORGE K. TINGIE, special
agent Of the Treasury Department, 10
which the British Minister at Washing
ton has recently directed Mr.. BLAINE :
attention. Agent TiNGLE'> reports
affirm that in spite of poaching
and marauding and regular killing
on the islands, the number OF
seals has doubled in 10 years,
and is now larger than il has been since
we acquired Alaska. Upon this state

porary. the Cleveland Louder, thus com

Not only is this the ease, but it may
be said in addition that American wo-

against the Administration. The ad-
vance of 100 per cent in the cost Of seal
skins is shown to have been artificial
aud unnecessary, not due TO a scarcity
of seals but a surplus of politics.

the Mckinley bill had just begun to be
felt. 1t is being felt more and more
every day, and will continue TO be. The
whole bill has not yet gone into effect.
The IntelligeRcGr tries 10 make out
that the consumer does not pay for this
because the importers have asked Con-
gress TO postpone the operation OF the
law with regard to goods in bond. This
is about as silly an argument as even
the Intelligcnoer could advance. or
course the importers must pay the
custom house officers the duty and
they in turn must get II
back from their customers, or else,
90 out Of business. OF course the law
hurts the importers, since through hay-
ing to charge more for their goods they
must necessarily sell less. But the $780,
OOO, 900 of increased duty they will have
TO pay if the operation of the Mckinley
law is not postponed with regard to
goods already in bond will not come out
OF the importers pockets, as witness the
all-around increase in the prices OF the
necessaries of life charged over the
counter. GARRISON, QUAY'S first lieu
tenant, goes so far as to admit that the
rise in prices is not altogether due to
