the money is spent, or what for. Such
report would surely be great satisiac
ton to the many settlers. I believe it
would be hard matter to find three moro
suitable, diligent and honorable men than
we have for trustees. They have worked
hard to get the island reclaimed, and de-
serve great deal of credit. Some people

others, never realizing that they create q

HARPER AND BALTz.
Both Pitch We'll, But the Latter Had
the Better Support.

SAN JOSE, June 19.-There was good
attendance at to-day's game between
Oakland and San Jose. Harper pitched
a great game, but was poorly supported,
Sharp and Ebright playing exceptionally
bad at times, while HanIey and Everett
forgot what game they were playing
when they had couple of chances for
double plays.
Baltz pitched great ball, striking out
ten men, but in the seventh he was hit all
around the lot. San Jose lost in the end
of the ninth inning, with the score tied.
Baltz hit safe, and Long bunted; Harper
picked it up and threw it a block from
Dooley into right field, Baltz scoring the

ARE STILL BURIED.
A TERRIBLE TALE THAT COMES
FROM TACOMA.
Companions of the Victims of wednes-
days Landslide Claim the Railroad
VIII Not Excavatc the Bodies.

TACOMA, Wash, Dec. IA terrible
story has come to light in connection
with the recent landslide on the North
ern Pacific railroad at Canton station in
The Cascade mountains Between
twenty and thirty men are said to be
buried beneath the great mass of earth
and rock which fell at the place We'd
nesday last, and, according to sworn
statements mace by workingmen who
were at the scene of the disaster, the
bodies of the unfortunate men have
been left beneath the earth where they
were buried alive.
The story as told under oath by one
of two men who were employed by the
railroad company at Canton shows that
the disaster was "A most frightful one,
that the truth has not been half told,
ana that this is the greatest catastrophe
that ever occurred in the State. Since
the day of the accident many rumors
have been in circulation about the num-
Der of men missing. Curing the severe
storms about two weeks ago the tracks
were undermined for more than a mile.
and it was this that sixty workmen
were repairing, being strung along the
track for an eighth of a mile
Among this gang of men were Thomas
Murphy, Benjamin Flattery and Alex
Gilchrist, who abandoned the job yes
terday and returned to their families
here last night Murphy has made an
affidavit that twenty-five men are still
buried under the earth and rocks in
the bed of the river where the over
hanging bluff fell. His story is sub
stantially as follows.
There were sixty-two men working
in front of the bank. 1t gave
way. They had no way of escaping.
Some turned to run along the track.
Others jumped down the slope of the
roadbed and tried to reach the river, but
the slide came with such force and
rapidity that it swept track, men and
tools away and buried them as it came
down the slope and into the river
Search was made by the surviving
laborers for the missing and they found
that twenty are still buried beneath its
debris.
Gilchrist and Flattery corroborate
the sworn statement of Murphy. All
say the railway company refuses to ex-
'avate the buried men. On the other
hand Northern Pacific officials and sur
5eons, who visited the scene of the
avalanche a few hours after it han
oened, emphatically deny Murphy's
tory and say he has some object in
making it.

THE SPEAKERSHIP.
ILLINOIS is SOLID FOR WILLIAM
M. SPRINGER.

MIR. MCMILLAN Denies That He Has
Withdrawn From the Fight.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2s.-Send on the
Springer recruits. The Illinois can
didate has at last made the Mills and
Crisp forces understand that he is in
the fight to stay. They havo been
loath to believe it, because the Illinois
delegation was tempting one for
poaching, and Mr.. Mills friends espe.
cially have been trying to break into
Springer's preserves. They were will
ing to do the proper thing If the ILL
noisan would accept their overtures,
but he wouldn't. They simply de-
clared they would go in and capture
some OF the prairie State members on
the second ballot. AS the Democratic
members from Illinois arrived they have
refused all the advances made and their
stubbornness has caused the Mills man.
ayers to go slow. The latest corners
are Fithian and Gen. Busey, Joe Can
mons successor. Both reported for duty
at the Springer headquarters. Gen.
Busey, when asked where the Springer
strength would go when he was with
drawn, said "Sir, that contingency
will never arise"
Mr.. Springer is pleased at the out
look, He does not put much trust in
the large claims of pledges for other
candidates. ~ have never seen a
Speakership contest" Mr.. Springer
said, where SO many members were
coming to Washington without having
treir minds made up. They want to
know what the situation is for them
selves and they are not making
pledges"
The Crisp following was happy at the
reports Of the meeting the New York
delegation is to hold in Washington
next week. While not pretending to
have actual pledges, they are positive
that at that meeting seventeen of the
twenty-three New Workers will declare
for Crisp.
The Mills folks are in pleasant
mood over Mr.. Carlisle's letter vouch-
ing for Mr.. Mills moderation of tenn
permanent, while the other candidates
are not disposed to attach much i'm
portance to it, at least as to the infiu-
ence upon their own strength
Mr.. McMillin said to reporter that
there was absolutely no foundation for
the statement that he intended to
withdraw. He said he might get
whipped, though he did not expect to,
but that he would not run away, and
that there was certainly nothing in
the situation to make him approach the
light timidly. His friends speak with
the greatest confidence
A report has been started that as
soon as the caucus is called Mr.. Bland
will, before the nominations are made
for Speaker, introduce resolution. and
demand vote on it, making declara-
ton of principles on the silver ques-
ton.

second perforated one of the glass

house.
The shooter coolly put the pistol, a
