THE BLoUNT MISSION.

Even President Cleveland must be
able to see by this time that if it was
not mistake to send personal rep
resentative to Honolulu, says the Chi.
cago Inter Ocean, it was a mistake,
and very grave one, to send man
who had no appreciation of patriotic
sentiment. In Mr.. Blount's part of
the country the American flag is not
sOld Glory" and to haul it down
would, on general principles, be pop
ular thing to do. But the wave of in
dignation which swept over the coun-
try at that indignity put upon the
nations emblem has had at least one
good educational effect. Research in
to precedents has been made, and it is
found that the Democratic party is
squarely committed in earnest con-
demnation of such an embassy as that
of Blount's, quite independent of the
way he discharged his duties. This
party record deserves to be brought
into prominence.
1t will be recalled that early in his
first term General Grant sent General
Babcock of his staff to San Domingo
in the interest of annexation. His
intention was to procure information
and pave the way for annexation.
General Babcock made no attempt to
exercise any actual authority, such as
Mr.. Blount exercised, still the senate

A Keichstag Uproar.

BERLIN, May 3-Members of the CEN
ter party bad an uproaiious meeting to-
day to consider the proposition, sup
ported by Won Huene, as to the terms
on which the center should support the
army bill in the reichstag. The meet
ing was most exciting, and resulted In
the rejection of Won Huene's proposition
by an enormous majority. Count Won
Ballesterem thereupon resigned as leader
of the center to Count Won Preysing, of
Lichtenau. Moos, of Straubing, was
elected TO succeed him. Afterward il
was decided the members should vote

rivi declared the government. would en-
desvor by every constitutional means to
secure the passage of the army bill. The
army, the chancellor said, as at present
constituted, was equal to any emergency
that might arise. He reminded the mem
bcrs of the reichstag that ablest diplo
macy was not always an efficient substi
tute for military strength. In support
of this assertion he cited the experience
of Frederick the Great of Prussia.

upon the residents along its course A
break 200 feet wide occurred, and the
water came rushing down in flood 10
teet deep and three miles wide, COM
pletcly submergng the country around
and carrying everything In its way. In
the course of the flood stood the bouses
of Jack Smith and William Devault, and
q large number of tenement houses and
squatters' and bachelors homes. All
these were submerged, though fortu
nately every one managed to escape from
danger The people fed in terror from
their homes, while the rushing flood came
IN down the valley, taking everything
before 1t. A portion of the town of Port
jefferson was badly flooded. Quincy,
Logansvilie, DeG-ayvilie, Troo and Day
ton were also in the course of the flood
and suffered considerably. Hundreds of
families left their homes and fled out of
reach of the coming torrent. So far no
loss of lite is reported, but when the
floods subside they will likely reveal
that more than one unfortunate perished
1t is impossible to give an estimate of
the loss. The farmers are financially
ruined. The latest report tonight from
the scene OF the flood is reassuring and it
is believed such progress has been made
as will prevent further breaking in the
reservoir, but the entire lower banks are
in very dangerous condition. Should
further rains fell no human power can
stay an awful catastrophe.

heart disease, was laid out in coffin, and
while wake was being held last night

LOUISVILLE, KY, May "A fire which
broke out in the power building just be
fore midnight destroyed and damaged 35
buildings, causing less of between
100000 and 100000 to the plan: of the
LOUISVILLE Steam & Electric Motor Power

adjoining bui' 'dlngs and also the Office OF

shoots Her Former Lo, err i.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 2-Henry L. Bad
dely, a plumber, was shot and mortally
wounded tonight by Mrs. William W thing
ton, the wife of photographer on the Exam
iner. The tragedy occurred on Washington
street wharf about 6 o'clock. The immedi-
ate cause is unknown, but the homicide doubt
less grew out of the recent relations of the
woman with Baddely. Two years since Mrs.
Worthington eloped with Baddely while her
husband was in Europe. On his return he
found his wife at Stockton living with Badde-
ly. He forgave her and she returned to duty
and her home. Since then her former lover
has persistently prosecuted and annoyed her.
Last Wednesday he called at her rooms and
attempted to assault her, but she succeeded in
getting pistol and firing three shots at her
assailant, who fled unharmed and with great
speed 1t is supposed that he has since re-
newed his offensive attentions, and finally
goaded to desperation, she decided to kill
him. She took her two children with her and
practically accomplished her purpose tonight
Four shots were fired all taking effect. The
woman was arrested

In the issue of the San yesterday
Bro. Ireland raped the manager of
the Chronicle on the knuckles In a
very neat manner, for his presumption
in filing bill for the publication of
the financial statement of the county,
with the court now in session, when 1t
was published in the Sam only by order
of the clerk. Our evening cotempo-
rary's claim of being the "oficial"
paper was successfully controverted by
Bro. Ireland printing the sections of
the code and session laws in relation
to the publication monthly of a por-
ton of the county court proceedings
and the duty of the clerk to have pub
lished in some paper semi-annual
statement of finances. The law is SO
plain on these points that the claim of
being the "oficial paper" because the
court awards to some newspaper every
year the right to be paid for printing
a meagre portion of county court pro-
ceedings, is never made by any man
ager or publisher, except he is ignorant
of the law or so obtuse that he cannot
English.

n,xsterious Case of Drowning

SEATTLE, May 4-Miss Nellie Holgate,
an attractive young woman employed In
the San Francisco store, disappeared last
evening under circumstances which lead
to the belief that she was drowned. She
left the store at g.: 10 A. NJ. aud went to
Lake Washington for row, as was her
custom on pleasant evenings. She took
boat at the Madison street landing and
pulled toward Madrona Park. That was
the last seen of her as far as known. She
was not missed until this morning, and
nothing was thought OF her absence until
noon. Then search was instituted. Her
boat was picked up with one oar missing
The other oar was afterward found on
the beach. Further long, her cloak, with
big pearl brooch gone, was found,
thrown on the top of brush, where it
had evidently been thrown by some one
who had dragged it from the water, as it
was soaking wet. Her hat was found
floating on the water nearly quarter of
a mile away. The theory is that she fell
out Of the boat and that her hat ana
cloak were floating ashore by the strong
wind blowing at the time. There is
nothing to indicate foul play. Miss Hol-
gate was 90 years of age, and her family
lives in North Dakota.

Oregon Democrats still haunt the
White House, and President Cleve-
land pays little attention to their
earnest prayers for office.
Cleveland has not made many
friends by the action of the commits

The answer of Gov. Pennoyer

The answer of Gov. Pennoyer to
Secretary Gresham's- telegram will
have different constructions placed up
on it according to the opinions enter
tanned of the principal actor. Those
who have no admiration for the gov
ernor of Oregon will consider the tel
egram lacking the elements of courtesy
due to the president of the United
States, whoever occupies the position;
while others, who have been strong
supporters of him, will say that it was
manly and in the true, independent
American spirit. 1t may have been
that President Cleveland thought it
necessary to warn the governors of the
Pacific states of the trouble appre-
hended, and this would have given
them time to take the necessary pre-
cautions against destruction of life and
property; but the men who occupy the
executive chairs on the Pacific slope
are always alert in every emergency,
and are never found mapping when
public disturbances are being matured.
We have perfect confidence that Gov.
Pennoyer will not permit any disturb
ance of the public peace to be COM
mitted without energetic action in pro-
tecting life and property; but, per-
haps, his reply could have been courhed
in more diplomatic terms 1t is very
evident that Sylvester Pennoyer would
never succeed in conducting the affairs
Of state that required smooth sound
ing terms and equivocal sentences in
its correspondence with neighboring
nations.

Dillon two bottles of liniments and med

effects of an overdose of medicine or
from protracted spree. Rats had
gnawed the feet and facs of the body

empt from arrest, cannot be officially
known. The collectors of internal rev
