New WESTMINSTER. b. c., June 2-TSpe-
cial. The great gathering of 1000 Roman
Catholic Indians al Mission is being car
ried out on a large scale and promises 10
eclipse anything of the kind hitherto held
in British Columbia. The Catholic pre-
lates from the East, who include all of the
most prominent in Canada and many
from the states, arrived at noon by special
train and were received in a manner be-
coming their high dignity.
Five Indian bands lined up at the sta
ton, and Indian men and women in sim
gle file stood in the rear, and in this man.
ner. with the bands playing and cannon
belching forth peals of joyous welcome.
did the train carrying the prelates pull
into the depot A large number from the
island and mainland were present to wei
come the prelates and there was a genera,
introduction of the clergy to the clergy.
Then came the Indian chiefs, who were
introduced singly to the distinguished
guests. The bishops went around among
the Indians and shook hands with the
men. women and children, the men TAX
ing of their hats and the women cour-
tesying.
Archbishop Tache gathered the Indians
and gave short address, expressing the
thanks of the prelates for the reception
rendered them, and gave the Indians, who
knelt to receive it, his benediction. The
Indian bands then headed the procession
to st. Mary's mission, where the visitors
were dined.
The Indians who are taking part in the
celebration belong to the Fraser river val
ley, Thompson river valley, Sechelt, Triam
and Squamish tribes. The Catholic clergy
have been particularly careful not to per-
nit any Shuswap Indians from Kamloops
to take part. The reason for this is that it
was thought there would be little praying
and great deal of oratory over the Father
Chirouse affair. 1t is probable that tab
leaux from the life of Christ will be pre-
sented by the Indians tomorrow, and
torchlight procession will take place in
the evening. The prelates speak in high
terms of the manner of their reception
throughout their trip.
VANCOUVER. B. c., June Especial l.
More than 1000 people went from here to-
day to ST. Mary's mission, eighty miles in
the Interior to witness the Indian passion
play. Over $500 Indians were camped on
ground. The march to calvary and the
crucitixion were represented most realisti-
cally. The event was SO important as to
attract archbishops and bishops from
Montreal, Quebec and the territories.

THE sNoHOMrsH FREsHEr.
1t IL Merely the Annual Overflow. and
the Damage il Small.

SxoHoMrsH. June o. Especial. IA dam
aging statement appears in Wednesday
mornings Telegraph regarding the high
water at this place. The statement is to
the effect that the Snohomish river is
higher than il has been for thirty years,
flooding some of the wharves, and that the
town itself is in danger.
The water has been at its present stage
many times within the past thirty years,
and the two wharvcs mentioned, Jack
sons aud Backman's, are overtiowed
nearly every year. No injury could pos
sibly result to Snohomish city from any
stage of water, as the bank of the river is
at least ten feet higher on the north side,
on which the town is built, than on the
south side, and the south bank has never
yet been fully inundated.
1t has been learned that the work of the
Great Northern railway along the Skyko-
mish river was not damaged by the high
water. Had the high water come ten days
sooner. probably the whole roadbed would
have been carried away, but the work done
is of such substantial character that it is
believed it will withstand any future flood.
GALESA, June 1.-[SpeciaI. The heavy
rains of the past week have melted great
quantities of snow and brought on the
June freshet in the Skykomish river
little earlier than usual. number of
bridges on the Great Northern ''puncheon
road" have been carried away. A wagon
road is now being built to this place from
Index.

sion being that Harrison ought to be

Blaine ought not to allow his name to be
used as candidate, and it is so generally
understood in Washington City. lie said

selected Horace Porter, of New York, for
temporary chairman. He said he had
given no authority for the use of his name

officer.

opinion on the political situation, saying
he would be heard in the convention hall.

but he has grave doubts with Harrison as
the nominee. John r. Lynch. the we'll
known colored politician of Mississippi, is
at the Palmer house, talking strongly for
Harrison. He declares that Harrison's
treatment of colored men has been very
satisfactory.
