Rescued BY the steamer Baker.

Last Monday morning, about s
o'clock, Mrs. Aleck and three children
left their camp on the White Salmon,
where they have been laying in their
winter supply of fish, in their sail boat
for this side Of the Columbia, coming
home for the day. When nearly over
to this side, the boat, which is leaky
affair, filled with water and sunk,
throwing them all out. The mother
succeeded in catching hold of the two
youngest children, girl aged s and a
boy ). In the meantime the boat had
drlfted so far from her that she was un-
able to reach it. The oldest boy, George,
aged ii years, swami to the boat and
got in and drifted ashore. The mother
with her right hand clutched the boy's
coat and the girls dress and padded
with her left, succeeding in keeping up
until she was rescued by the steamer
Baker, which came along soon after
she was in the water. The captain
tried TO reach her with the steamer, but
finding that impossible, sent out
small boat, by which she was picked
up. Being unable, of course, to hold
the heads of her children above water,
they were both drowned. Every
means was used to restore them, but all
were unavailing. 10. Aleck, the father
of the children, is an Indian, civilized |
as is also the mother Mr.. Aleck was
at the time across the river with the |
mail, being the mail carrier between
this point and White Salmon, and |
knew nothing of the accident until his
return several hours later. Tie funeral
services were conducted by Rev. Father
Bronsgest, of The Dales, Wednesday
morning, and the children were buried
at the home place. The community
sympathizes with the parents in their
sad bereavement.

There is Much Suffering Already and 1t
Will BE Increased.
DUBLIN, March 10.-The Irish local gov
ernment board has returned report on the
failure Of the potato crop and the condition
of the congested districts. It states that
the districts in which the disease appeared
comprise about one-half Of Ireland and is
due to the planting Of old Champion seed.
In the light, dry soils the crop in some
places was excellent: in cold, wet land in
the mountain districts the failure was
everywhere serious. The corn crops were
mostly good, green crops up to the full
average, and the other resources of the farm
ers were about up to the average. Briefly
told the report goes to show that the small
farmers were in bad circumstances, being
confronted with scarcity of potatoes un-
precedented in thirty years, causing the
deepest distress in the congested districts.
The distress is aggravated by the reluctance
of the local shopkeepers to grant credit.
Some of the board estimate the potato crop
failure equivalent to the loss of the midday
meal. The report gives details as to how
the suffering poor should be relieved, show
ing that the distress is yet on the increase
Relief applications are confined to the con-
gested districts Of the west and to the la
boring and fishing classes of the south. 1t
is expected the pressure will become more
general between now and April.

LONDON, March 10.-The Times Berlin COR
respondent makes long statement claim
ing to represent Emperor Williams reason
for his passport decree. The correspondent
repudiates the idea that the emperor was
misinformed as to the state of affairs
brought about by his mothers sojourr in
Paris. The correspondent says: 1.-THE
courtesy he (the emperor) sought to estab-
lish, was merely that of combatants politely
bowling before crossing swords. He never
had an idea that reconciliation was possible,
and the moment his action was interpreted
as sign of weakness by handful of
bowling dervishes, who succeeded in max
ing the whole nation giddy, it was his duty
to resume dignity at the head of the Ger
man nation. 1t was not the emperor's bus
mess to look for the motives of these out
bursts. The measure is merely tempor-
ary rampant behind which he can safely
await the not distant day when the opinion
of the French people will pass Judgment on
these eless Indications. Then when the
French people have regained their indepen-
dent spirit will the barriers again be low

The Way Kansas Farmers Conduct q Leg
islative BODY.
TcrEKA, Kan, March 1O.--There was a
scene of great excitement in, the house to-
night. The committee reports on the in
vestigation of the state house commission
ers not being ready, Speaker Elder, who
had taken the floor, moved that the COM
mittee be allowed to sit after adjournment
of the legislature. Douglass, republican,
complained that persons under investigation
had not been allowed to be present at CO m
mittee sittings, either in person or by at
torney. He and other republicans de-
nounced the committee and the Farmers
alliance. Elder became exceedingly angry
and said the alliance was running the
house, and the republicans must submit,
whether right or wrong. Then the CALLER
les hissed, the alliance men cheered
and the republicans Rroaned. The
serQeant-at-arms and doorkeeper attempted
to clear the galleries and several lively en-
counters took place. A general fight be-
came imminent, but finally Elder resumed
the chair and said he was ashamed of his
remarks and appealed to all present to
maintain order. Quiet was then restored
aud Elders motion adopted.
