Some of those who opposed the harbor
line bill! were yet here today when the
discovery was made that the land com.
mission bill provided a method for the es-
tablishment of harbor lines. and they
raised the quibble that the latter bill was
not properly introduced. because it was
reported from n committee as a substitute
for number OF other bills within less than
ten days before adjournment, and that as
1t presentation was not authorized
by two-thirds vote. it did not reach the
legislature in n constitutional manner and
is therefore invalid. This is answered by
the argument that it was not new bill,
but simply consolidation OF the provi-
sions of other bills regularly introduced,
with such amendments as the COMMITTEES
had decided upon and that it reached the
house properly. through the medium Of .
report upon the original bills.

Choice of Loyal Republicans
Appointed by Gov. McGraw.
AN HONOR RICHLY DESERVED.
The New Senator Had Never Lost
Confidence in Faithful Allies.
bePs In Hilarious Mood-They Carry
on the spoils After . Battle With
Books and Daokets.

OLYMPIA, March 10.-TSpecial. Gov.
McGraw this evening appointed John B.
Allen United States senator to fill the va
cancy caused by the failure of the legisla-
ture to elect, and signed the certificate Of
appointment setting forth the happening
Of the vacancy and the fact that the legis-
lature is not in session. The governor is
satisfied from his examination of the
question during the past few weeks
that Senator Allen will be ad-
mitted. The senator's excellent stand
ing with the members of all parties in
him. Senator Allen stated this evening
that he would go at once to Washington
City if there was q probability that the
senate would remain in session long
enough TO enable him to present his
credentials. He has wired Senator Squire
for information as to the probable length
of the extra session. and will form his
plans definitely when he receives q reply.
He received congratulations from numer-
GUS friends during the evening.
From the time of the last joint conven-
ton until the time of leaving today. the
supporters of Senator Allen continued to
call on him. They expressed their entire
satisfaction with the course they had pur-
sued. as it was the only one open to loyal
Republicans. They. of course. favored his
appointment and declared that the fight
would not be ended until his election
was accomplished two years hence.
Senator Allen said tonight that at
no time during the long contest was
he depressed and that, while he deeply re-
gretted that the Republican party through
the opposition Of factious minority had
failed to elect senator. he felt just pride
in the continued support he had had from
the great majority of his party. which in
cluded two-thirds Of the Republican men,
bers. from the time the voting fairly be-
gan. He has unbounded admiration for
the men who 80 nobiy stood by him and
fought courageously for party principle.
He has the satisfaction of knowing that,
unlike the minority members. his sup
porters will not have to make explana-
tions or apologies to their party brethren
at home.

the spectators shouted to the impcriled
man to drop. He reached midway be-
tween the two buildings and as the smoke
cleared away his white face was recog-
mixed - that Of Chief John Pagan, out for
the first time since suffering .
fracture of his collar bone. A squad
quickly mounted the building for which
he was heading and, loosening the cable.
gradually lowered it until the hook and
ladder company rescued the man and car
ried him to place of safety.
David Geddin, who assisted in remov-
ing people and who jumped from
the burning building, tells Of . girl
jumping from the third story window and
striking telegraph wires which cut
her throat. In another instance he
held . blanket into which . number
OF women jumped. all Of whom moro or
less seriously injured. He also saw some
thirty people jump into the streets. The
life net broke their fall. but all
were unconscious when taken out
and most Of them undoubtedly badly in
jured. He says the windows of the third
floor from which they jumped was strug-
Cling mass of people and thinks many fell
back into the flames.
George McCallar told Of seeing four men
and women ciingine to the stonework six
stories up. but it was impossible to reach
them, and one by one they dropped, strik-
Ing with sickening thud on the frozen
ground.
Each Of them was unconscious when
reached and. from the nature of the fall,
must have broken every bone in the body.
The police service was admirable. The
employees in many of the largest stores in
the vicinity were on duty until the
fire was under control, ready to move
the goods if necessary. The Incoming
trains from all directions were heavily
laden during the evening. and probably
over 50. 600 outsiders helped to pack streets
in the vicinity. A conservative estimate
of the total loss is "a, 100000. The insur-
ance will amount to about $4,000 900. No
effort will be made to compile the insur-

THE LEGISLATURE Is DEAD.


HilaPity Of Its Members During Last
Hours OF Session.
OLYMPIA. March l0.-ISpecial lit was
40 this morning before the two houses
reported to each other that they were
ready to adjourn. For three hours, while
waiting for the enrolment of the bills
passed during tho evening, the hilarity
that charactcrixes the closing scenes of .
legislative session prevailed. stimulated to
some extent by the refreshments
furnished by the citizens of Olym-
pia. At times the disorder became
riotous and at adjournment the floors
were Uttered with bills and pamphlets
with which the members and spectators
had stormed each other. The high esti-
nation in which Speaker Arrasmith is
held is demonstrated when he declared
the house adjourned without day by the
hearty cheers he received. The senate's
death was quieter one, for the lungs of
its members were tired from the use they
had been put to during the night.
Nearly all the members departed this
afternoon. 1t was a weary crowd of legis-
lators that gathered at the depot to take
train that offered most of them only stand
ing room, the limited number of coaches
being nearly full on arrival. The North
ern Pacific apparently was not anxious to
furnish special accommodation to legisla-
tors who had passed the Anderson rail-
road bill, for the evening train to Seattle
was suspended today, and the members
were compelled to take passage on the con-
gested afternoon train or remain over
until tomorrow. Several did stay, and
have been assuming restful attitudes amid
the scenes Of their former greatness.
Many of those who departed were laden
with mcmentoes of their service, ranging
from inkstands to waste baskets. Both
houses were stripped of nearly all NOV
able things last night and the presiding
officers could scarcely find pens and ink
toward the close with which to sign the
the enrolled bills. The Populists rivaled
old party members in the scramble for
spoils and most of them carried off con-
siderable booty. The Populists further
distinguished themselves on the last night
by giving Mays a strong certificate of
legislative merit, which they all signed.
The Eastern Washington members be-
fore leaving, expressed their great admira-
ton for Gov. McGraw for the firm stand
he took in support Of the Anderson bill,
and many Of them called upon him to
convey to hIm their appreciation of his
course. All declared that the farmers of
Eastern Washington without regard 10
party would now say that the right man
was in the executive chair. The governor
has inspired in the Eastern Washington
members unquestioning faith in his de-
votion to the people and in his courage as
q protector of their interests. They realize
that the enactment OF the Anderson bill
was due largely to his determined atti-
tude that showed his purpose to prevent
the people from being baked in their
efforts to secure relief

LOUISVILLE, KY. March 1O.-According
to the finding Of the grand jury Collector
Scott and deputies furnished the Repub-
lican party in the last presidential cam
paign a startling amount of the
sinews of wars. The assessments
Of the force of gaugers, store
keepers and clerks were simply terrific.
The grand jury was dismissed by Judge
Barr yesterday afternoon, but before the
members we're discharged, however,
they handed in four indictments,
two against Collector Scott and one
each against Deputies Shaw and Riley.
The first indictment against the collector
was for violation OF the civil service laws
in assessing for campaign purposes.
The second was for aiding and abct-
ting certain men in defrauding the
government. NJ. E. Riley and W. p. Shaw
were also indicted on numerous counts for
aiding and abetting in assessing and COL
lecting assessmenV in violation Of the
civil service laws.
