FELL BETWEEN LOGS.
Edward Kane Strangely
Drowned on the Tide Flats.
Persisted IN SHALLOW WATER.
A Well-KnoWn Ex-Policeman Meets
Death In . Log Boom Search
For His Body Proves Vain.

Edward Kane, an ex-policeman. was
drowned at. Hart Mill Company's mill
yesterday forenoon while attempting to
bring in section Of spruce logs. No one
saw him go down, but his hat and pike
pole were found floating on the water
near the boom.
]. w. Kerry, the foreman, said he sent
Kane about 9 o'clock to bring in some
spruce logs which were lying south Of the
mill. Nothing further was thought of it
until noon, when the crew gathered
around to eat lunch. Kane was
missed, and it was at
once supposed that something
might have happened to him. A search
was made. and resulted in the finding of
his hat and pike pole afloat, his coat
thrown across q log and his boat tied to
the boom. There was evidence of his hav-
ing stopped over to cut rope, and he
probably fell in head first or backward.
The peculiar fact about the case 10 that
at the time the search was made the tide
had run out, SO there was scarcely any
water for some distance out, but nothing
could be found Of the body. Mr.. Kerry
said that at 9 O'Clock there could not have
been more than four or five feet Of water
there.
This throws a mystery around the case.
and, as Kane was good swimmer, there
is possibility of his still being among the
living, even though the water should have
been deeper. There is but one theory con-
sistent with his drowning, and that is
that he was hurt in falling
and, getting under the logs, was
swept along out to deep water by the cur
nj hat, h.
Notice of the accident was telephoned
to the police station, and from there Cor
oner Horton was notified. A long search
was made for the body. until the rising
tide made further search useless. Mr..
Kerry had some dynamite taken out last
night to make an effort to bring the body
to the surface by exploding 1t.
Kane was well known in Seattle, having
served as jaiier under ex-Sheriff Coch-
rane. and subsequently served ON the po-
lice force. On leaving the police force he
drove team for F. Woodaman tor long
time. He was very industrious, and sell
dom out of employment. He had been
working as boom man for the Hart Mill
company for over . month, and Mr.. Kerry
speaks very highly of him. When
Henry w. Bailey, the boy who
was drowned near there some
time ago, was being buried, Kane was the
only man in the mill crew who lay of to
attend the funeral, being much affected
by the drowning Of the boy.
Kane was about IS years of age and
lived at the corner of Eighth and Stewart
streets. He was married to Mr.. Coch-
rane's niece. who has been an invalid the
past two years. The couple had three
children. When Mrs. Kane heard the
news of her husbands drowning she was
completely Frustrated, and it was feared
the blow would have a serious effect on
her, as she is troubled with heart disease.

SECRETARY NOBLE AT TACOMA.
He Visits the Puyallup Reservation an
IL Given . Reception.

10 Given . Reception.
TACOMA, Aug. 3-[Special. ]-Secretary
Of tho Interior John w. Noble is here
making his first inspection of the Pacific
coast His first impressions OF the west
ern slope are decidedly favorable and he
says he did not expect to find 50 much
substantial progress. He finds more agri-
cultural development than he thought ex-
listed. and Spokane and Tacoma, Is cities,
please him very much.
Heretofore Mr.. Noble had not been far
Their west than Helena, and he and Mrs.
Noble decided to see the Coast this sum-
mer during the adjournment of congress.
Mrs. Noble is suffering from slight cold
and has not enjoyed the trip 80 far as
thoroughly as her husband.
While Mr.. Noble is making it a sort Of
vacation trip. he took advantage this
afternoon of an opportunity to visit tho
Puyallup Indian reservation, about the
opening of which he has had to hear much
in an official way. So far he has advo-
Gated a conservative policy regarding the
opening of the reservation, such as advo-
Gated by Indian Commissioner Morgan
and Senator Dawes in adjudging the In
dians entitled to the greatest amount of
government assistance in selling their
lands to the best advantage and in hus-
banding the proceeds.
Agent Eells being absent, Peter Stanup
and III. q. Mann escorted the party. in
Guiding, beside Mr.. Noble, John F. Plum
mer, Nelson Bennett, Judge Frank Allyn
and g. ". Delaney, Of Tacoma, about the
reservation. The farming district of the
reservation was visited, and many ques-
tions asked by Secretary Noble, evidently
with view to learning the general know
ledge and business ability Of the Indians,
also their ability As farmers and finan-
ciers. The Indians showed much general
knowledge on all the topics discussed, and
Secretary Noble was manifestly pleased
as we'll as surprised with the evidence of
the ability OF the Indians to manage their
own affairs. One of the main efforts of
omesticating Indians being direoed to
breaking up tribal relations. Secretary
Noble was given every opportunity to OBJ
serve the general lack of tribal relations
among the Puyailups.
This evening . public reception was
given Mr.. Noble At the Tacoma hotel. To-
morrow he has been invited to take a
cruise in Paul Schulze's launch, and vari-
Gus points adjacent to this city on the
Sound will be visited. Tomorrow even
ing, after dining with Mr.. Schulze. Mr..
Noble will be the guest Of the Union Club.
In day or two the revenue cutter VOL
cost is expected 10 take Mr.. and Mrs.
Noble 10 Seattle aud other Sound points.

Observer and Weather Bureau Direct,
The Chinese Will Not Resist.

WASHINGTON CITY, Aug 23-No officials
in the city are aware of the presence here,
as reported in a Chicago dispatch, of q
representative from the Chinese govern
ment who is to secure the best legal talent
to circumvent the Chinese exclusion act.
At the office of the commissioner Of inter-
nal revenue the improbability Of the pro-
posed action at this time is pointed out
from the fact that no test case under the
law could possibly arise until May 5, 1893.
as one year after the passage of the act is
allowed Chinese residents in which to take
out certificates of residence as required by
the act.
