OPIUM IN POSSESSION.
The Mate of the Velocity Arrested
With Six Tins.

J. Murphy, a mate on the Nelo-
city, was arrested last Friday
about dusk with six tins of opium
in his possession. Lieutenant
Cordes had been watching the man
all the afternoon, and followed
him when he left the ship last
evening. He arrested him on King
street, near Nuusnu, with six tins
of the drug in his possession. After
this, Cordes and Captain Andrews
searched the vessel, and found
twenty tins more in the forecastle,
and twenty-five tins in the mates
room. Murphy was released on
$1,000 bond, filed by the captain OF
the vessel.
The Velocity recently arrived
here from China and has been
searched twice since she has been
in port.

THE CHINESE THEATER.

hubbub created by the Celestials
in their Thespian efforts became
such a nuisance, that complaints
were made to the Government, and
it was decided to compel the Chi
nese to move the playhouse. The
present location was chosen, it be-
ing a long distance from any part
of the city thickly settled with
white people, and the playhouse
which was sold at auction yester-
day was built by the Chinese, on
condition that in ten years from
the time of its completion it should
revert to the Government.
The place has always been a
great resort for Chinese, and has
paid its lessees well. The theatri-
cal performances themselves were
not, probably, very remunerative (;
but in the upper portion of the
building, over the stage, there were
nearly two hundred rooms, which
were ostensibly rented to dodgers,
but which really were used by
those who were slaves of the opium
habit. Here, nightly, dope"
smokers would congregate in force,
and could rest fairly secure
against arrest. There were three
flights of stairs to go up
before the smoking department
was reached, and a guard was sta
toned at each landing place, ready
to give the alarm on the slightest
cause for suspicion. On the top
floor, system of wooden troughs
was built, running down to an IN
derground pool, and all the para
phernalia of the smokers could be
disposed Of at very short notice, so
that when the police should arrive,
a most innocent and greatly abused
set of Cinnamon would be in the
rooms, each and all ready to swear
that they did not know what opium
was.
OF late. the condition of the
building has been such that it was
thought necessary by the Govern
ment to tear it down. After this is
accomplished, the Government
hopes to build a sea-wall along that
portion Of the river, fill up as much
as necessary, and make a valuable
piece of property out of it. There
is no immediate prospect of a new
Chinese theatre, and the celestials
will have to depend on private the
atricals for their amusements, and
go to the other opium dens for their
smokes.

4 LIVELY LUAU.
A Nativs Has His Legs Toasted
in Great Shape.

The lower limbs of native were
badly burned on Saturday even
ing, so much so, that it was found
necessary to send him to the hos
pital. He had been present at a
lusu, given in house near the St.
Louis College, and after he had
filed up on gin and swipes, he
went TO sleep. Nothing would
wake him up, so native woman
grabbed a japanese lantern and
struck him with it; it did not
take long for the paper affair to
burn up and in the meantime the
mans clothes caught fire. The at
tention of Simon Won Topaz was
called by loud shrieks and he en-
tered the house and finally smoth-
cred the flames.

 PORTLAND, Ore., June 1.-The flood in the Columbia continues to increase and indications are that the worst is yet to come. Yesterday the upper Columbia at several points was at a standstill, but reports today show that the river is again rising about one foot in twenty-four hours. The river is more than foot higher than was eyer before known and the damage will be immense.
 The fertile bottom banks along the river from the Rocky mountains to the sea, distance of 6G0 miles, are all in- undated. Crops are ruined, houses washed away and stock drowned. The flood has come gradually. which has given the residents an opportunity to remove their household goods to places of safety, and in most instances the stock has been driven to higher ground.
 The salmon canning business has been almost annihilated. Fish wheels and canning establishments along the river for distance of 200 miles are un- der water. It is estimated by the can nery men that their loss so far will ex- ceed $l00,000. Telegraph communica- tion to the north and east is cut of except by roundabout way.

Towns TWept Away.

BOULDER, Colo, June 1.-The flood has carried fifty bridges between here and the mountains away. The towns of Copper Rock and Sugar Loaf are gone; the Prussian and Corning mills are flooded and six of their outbuild- Ings were swept down the canon. Springdale and Jamestown suffered greatly, but 10 parti ;ulars can be had except that the Sprngdale hotel is in ruins. Several other small towns along the canon have been partly de- stroyed. but nothing definite regarding losses are to be had until communica- tion with this district has been re- established.

Organization of Phoenix Graduates
 Last Night.
 The graduates of the Phoenix High school were banded together in an Alumni Association last night. There are thirty-nine graduates to whom in- yitations were sent and all within easy access of Phoenix were present.
 The organization was begun by the election of Albert Broomell temporary chairman and the appointment of committee on bylaws, consisting of Edgar Wilson, Brooks Gregory and Victor E. Messenger. The report of the committee having been received permanent election was effected by the election of the following officers: President, Brooks Gregory; vice. presi- dent, Maggie King; secretary, Laura Dobbs; treasurer, Della Kalfus.
 A brief but interesting program had been arranged for the first meeting of the alumni. After an instrumental solo by Miss Nellie Fowler the address of welcome was delivered by Ralph Murphy. The speaker reviewed the progress of the Phoenix schools from their almost em bryonic state. A reel tation by Miss Della Kalfus and vocal solo by Miss Maggie King preceded 8 pleasant dinner. Three tables laid with covers for thirty-seven guests were set in the northwest room of the building. They were tastefully decora- ted with flowers and laden with apetiz- ing viands.
 After dinner Governor Hughes ad- dressed the association on the need of preparation, and Chief Justice Baker followed in an eloquent address upon upon cheerfulness. earnestriess and other conditions which secure the suc- cess in life ot the postgraduate. These speeches were succeeded by the follow. ing toasts: "The Alumnus," Prof. Ray "Our Sisters" Victor Messenger "Our Boys," Prof. Wollam; "The Graduate in Business" Brooks Greg ory; "Our Public Schools" Wilfred Broomell.
 A pleasing incident occurred just be- fore dinner and came as a surprise to Prof. Wollam. The last graduating class presented to him, along with writ ten expressions of their regard for him and their appreciation of hls work. a handsome ornamental clock and 8 set of silver spoons upon each of which was engraved the name of one of the lady graduates of 1894.
 Among the invited guests present were Governor Hughes, Chief Justice Baker, Mrs. J. W. Evans and Mrs. Elizabeth Allen.

THE PAST WEEK.
No Sign of the Removal of Business
 DepreSSiOn.

NEW YORK. June 1.-Bradstreet to- morrow will say the decidedly unfavor- able condition of general trade re- ported last week continues without material improvement, The continued delay in tariff legislation prolongs the stif1ing effect on the wholesale busi- ness. The great coal strike continues without sign of early improvement, no concessions having been made by either side. More mills and factories have closed their doors for want of fuel.
 The pig iron industry in the central and western states is practically at a standstiil for want of soft coal or coke At Pittsburg and vicinity the scarcity of fuel has greatly stagnated business. There is no new labor strikes, but al- most all of those previously reported are in existence.
