TIE Colfax Commener says: ~, T..
Nessly received letter yesterday from
his brother, who is in Edmonton, Al
berta, northwest territory, tie prom
ised land" where quite numbs, OF
Whitman county people went last sum
mer. Mr.. Nessly states that he has
got enough Of that country to last him
a life time, and will return to Whitman
county in April He says the snow is
from three to ten feet deep aud the
thermometer has registered 6S 'egrees
below zero. Stock have suffered Sc
verely, and thousands OF cattle and
horses died. Henry Bradner, formerly
living near Rosalia, who went to Ed
monitor at the same time, taking with
him large number OF horses has lost
over $1,000 worth OF horses during the
winter, and spring is not expected I'M
til May, in Consequence o. which much
more stock will die before grass comes.
Nearly all the Whitman county people
in that locality arc anxious to return
\ great hue and cry is now being
raised over the Alberta country Re-
ports from those who went to that dis
trict last summer nearly all tally with
that given by Mr.. Nessly. There arc
men who are never satisfied; every
country that Is being doomed is to them
far better than the one in which they
live and they have a burning desire to
move on" The Palouse country has
been tested and tried for years, and is
not found wanting in all that goes to
make an agricultural district. The Al
berta can net prove better and the eli
mate, as is well known, is not as agree
able as this
To those in this vicinity who may
have considered ne question Of going
to the new country, in the Queens
province, we say, "stay whore you are
Your condition will not be bettered, for
the Palouse has no equal on the face of
the globe The Alberta country may
appear very nicely on paper, but it is
too apt to be a costly experiment for
you. Better accept az facts the reports
of those whom you kl ow, and who have
tested the Alberta country than rely on
statements from other sources.

Mentzer bin and also the emergency
clause which provides for work to be
commenced at once or course, Ment-
zer's desired appropriation was cut down
one half, but the bill went through with
but little difficulty after the change was
made. When the senate was called to
order this evening tie senate chamber
was packed to a point of sutTocation and
the most interest Was displayed by
large crowd of Olymwsns who had as
sembled to learn the fate of the bill
which meant so much for their city
When the bin came mp Senator DYER
offered au amendment providing for
capitol grounds which would make in
all about q acres, describing the prop
erty, including II acres in front of the

How Four Tramps Ended Their Visit i'm
Knox County Jail.
Especial to the Press.

RocKLAND, May 4.-Four tramps con-
fined in the county Jail made clever
escape from the building at about $50
last night During the day, as is the
custom, the men. had been given the
liberty of the corridors and when the
sheriff locked up for the night, they
were apparently in their cells. Instead,
however, it seems that they had made
their way through a transom into the
attic of the jail. Here they smashed
out one of the lattice windows and by
means OF small rubber hose lowered
themselves one after another to the
ground. Their escape was not dis
covered until late this morning, when
the hose was seen hanging out of the
window. Sheriff Gray Immediately sent
out his deputies on the track of the
missing men but nothing has yet been
heard. The names of the men are Mike
Barry, James Wilson, James Thompson
and Patrick McMullen. Three of them
were tramps in for sixty days and the
county is financially better off for their
absence.

BANGOR, May "A severe gale and

day and considerable damage has been
done to property in this section. So great
has been the down pour of rain that fears
are entertained of freshet along the
river. Far up the river it will be great
benefit to the lumbermen. Several land
slides are reported on the railroads. The
train from Boston was several hours late
in arriving, owing to land slides on the
track. A severe land slide is reported to
have occurred on the Canadian Pacific
road somewhere between Moosehead lake
and the Quebec line, but this cannot be
verified tonight.

Vermont Towns Know What Big Fresh

BRATTLEBoRo, VT, May 5.-All the
towns in this county suffered severely
from today's freshet. Nothing since the
great flood oil 1869 approached today's
loss. Highways and bridges are de-
stroyed to the value of several thousand
dollars. The MILESTONE brook which
runs through the town either flooded or
destroyed everything in its path. At
the height of the flood the Centerville
dam went out and the water came down
the gorge. Main street bridge was
swept away. Highways were destroyed
and factories flooded. Wood, lumber
and other property valued at several
thousand dollars were washed away.
Two bridges at West Brattleboro were
destroyed. Every town reports similar
damage.

boro today. Two cars of passenger
train are derailed and hundred yards of
track torn up. All trains have been de-

THE two derailed cars were part of
the train due in this city at noon. The
train was running carefully on account
of the fierce storm and when the cars
left the iron no one was injured and the
cars themselves were not much hurt
The engine did not leave the rails.
When the train from Portland reached
the spot one car was sent in to this city
with the passengers. The track was re-
paired in few hours and the derailed
cars replaced on the iron. They were

until this noon just ~ inches by the
Water Powers measure. There was at

couDERT AND THE SEALS.
The Eloquent American Keeps Court and
Spectators Good Natured.

PARIS, May 4. IF. R. Coudert con-
tinued his argument in behalf of the
United States today before the Behring
Sea Tribunal of Arbitration. Mr.. Cou-
dert analysed the joint report of the
commissioners appointed by Great
Brirain and the United States to ascer-
tain the facts in relation to seal life in
Behring Sea and measures necessary for
its proper protection and preservation.
Mr.. Coudert urged that the Pelagic
sealers in killing gr avid female de-
stroyed three animals and fire.
quently did not obtain the
skin as thesresult of the slaughter.
Mr.. Coudert humorously described
the refusal of female seals
to suckle pups orphaned through
the slaughter of their mothers
by pelagic sealers, and caused considera-
BILE merriment among the listeners.
There were frequent exchanges of repair
tee between Baron De Courcel, president
Of the tribunal, and Mr.. Coudert Mr..
Coudert proceeded to prove that there
could be no commingiing of the Seal
herds of Alaska with those of Asiatie
Russia. Furriers easily distinguished
the Alaskan from the Russian skins, and
charged higher prices for Alaskan. He
read affidavits in support of these asser-
tions. Mr.. Coudert said that the Copper
Island seals caught by pelagic sealers
came to market as having been caught
near Japan. The British counsel ex.
claimed in q chorus: s'That is quite
wrong"
Mr.. Coudert answered. 1--WE have am
pie proofit is true. We have proof also
that three-fourths of the total number of
skins sold are: of females" Mr..
Coudert read evidence in support of his
statement.
Lord Hannah, one of the British Arbi.
traitors asked. 'sDuring the preparation
of skins is anybody's attention called tc
the distinction between male and female
skins?" Mr.. Coudert continued to read
affidavits in support of his statement
whereupon the President. Baron de Cou.

three days. The cloud became blacker
and denser, and just before 5 o'clock
roar was heard, and all at once wind,
hail and rain dashed over the town. The
wind was terrific. Houses were blown
down, trees were torn up by the roots,
and the hail stones were much larger
than usual and covered the ground to
depth of four inches and broke almost
all the window panes in the town. The
rain fell in torrents, so that the darkness
was complete. The terrible rush of
wind did not last longer than 15 minutes,
but the rain and hail continued for
much longer time. 1t was soon ascer-
tanned that great damage to property had
been done, and people who ventured out
in the streets found themselves in total
darkness, surrounded by the debris of
houses, trees. fences, telegraph poles and
tin from the housetops. About o'clock
the rain and hail ceased. The storm had
swept from southwest to northeast across
the town, leaving mark about 400 yards
wide. In this space the frame houses
had suffered most A number were
blown down, and the timbers blown
away. The brick houses were unroofed.
A number of people are known to have
been injured, one colored man fatally.
The damage to property is estimated at
100000. The track of the storm was
from Oxford to Henderson, on the Raleigh
and CASTOR railroad, and from there
north down the railroad to Greystone.
The distance from Oxford to Henderson
is II miles, and the swath cut was from
a quarter to half a mile wide. 1t presents
the appearance of having been burned
and swept. The town of Henderson had
the same experience as Oxford. Ten
people are known to have been injured,
railroad station, all the houses were
blown down. There is granite quarry
there where a squad of convicts have
been working. A number of them were
hurt. Nearly all of the log houses were
razed. 1t is learned that there was a
second blow, but it knocked down the
poles and wires, and no further news can
be had.
