the convenience of the travelling pub
lie, has not perfected any arrangements
with the street-car companies, although
the latter regard the scheme as prac-
ticable. and are awaiting a suitable
proposition before taking action in the
matter.
At the office Of the Broadway Cable
Company it was learned that the idea
was not Of recent birth; that similar
schemes had been agitated for several
months, but that the news companies
had always faltered when the business
arrived at the final stage.
The Gable Company rs not averse to
adopting plan which would furnish its
patrons an opportunity to buy the daily
papers without the danger and incon-
venience attendant upon the jumping on
and off cars in motion by lot Of reck-
less newsboys.

The scheme of stationing newsboys on
street cars, the same as on railway pas

rived at that stage in New York when
fore the news companies and the street
car companies will get together and a
satisfactory arrangement Will be made
to put the plan through.

Mysterious Young Austrian swal-
lowed Carbolic Acid.
Made Desperate by a Letter from
His Parkway Home.
HOvers Between Life and Death At
Bellevue Hospital.

A good-loking young Austrian, who
gives the name of Simon Steinberg,
is lowering between life and death in
Bellevue Hospital to-day, suffering from
a dose of carbolc acid. which he swal-
lowed last evening with suicidal intent.
Just why he wished to die no one seems
son himself.
About week ago Steinberg hired a
room from Mrs. Israel Baumgarten, on
the top floor of l62 Attorney street. He
surprised his landlady by paying $40
for the room for Il month in advance.
Lodgers in that nelghborhood usually
only pay half a weeks rent down.
Stelnberg said he was an ice-peddler.
but he rarely left the house and
did not seem to worry much about
| lack of work. He spoke to Mr.. Baum
garten two or three times, and remark
ed that though only nineteen years old
he was already tired of life. Once he
invited Mr.. and Mrs. Baumgarten to go
bathing at the seashore with him.
| Two days ago Steinberg received a
letter with an Austrian postmark on It..
| After reading It. he seemed unusually
taciturn. One of the dodgers In the
. mouse commented upon MS ulscOnsOlate
appearance yesterday morning, and he
replied:
relations care nothing for him.
shortly after that he left the house,
and did not return until about $50 O'Clock
last night. Then he appeared to be In
better spirits than at any time since he
went to live at the house. He met Mrs:
Baumgarten in the hail. and remarked
that 1t was a warm night. Then he re-
tired to his room.
little more than an hour later every
one IN the tenement was aroused by

to ProDerty.

PORTLAND, Or, May 27.-The entire
Northwest is just now suffering from a
tiood caused by melting snow in the
mountains. The Willamette is now
twenty-five feet below low water mark,
and the river is rising at the rate of half
an inch an hour. At the dalIes during
the past twenty-four hours the Column
bIa has risen three feet, which means a
foot and half rise at this point during
the past twenty-four hours. The water
has reached Front street, and all day long
merchants have been removing goods to
upper stories. In Albino small houses
are under water and the occupants have
moved to higher ground. The Spokane
river and CeuI d'Alene are higher than
ever before known, and immense dam-
age has already been done to railroad
property in Western Washington and
Northern Idaho. All rivers and streams
flowing into Puget sound are swollen be-
yond their banks. The damage to rail-
road property and farming lands is very
heavy.

BANK BILL UPPERMOsT.
1t Will Be Debated at Length in
the House.

WAsHIN eToN, May 27.-The coming
week in the house Will be much broken
I'D by special orders and adjournment
over Decoration Day. The state bank
DEBATE will have the right-of-way, but
it can get but three days in the week at
the best. Monday is District Of Colum-
bia day, and the state bank men have
consented not to infringe on that day.
The bank bill will be taken up again on
Tuesday, when representative Johnson
will make the opening Republican
speech in opposition to state banks, and
Representative Cox will open for un-
conditional repea! of the state bank tax.
Representatives Warner. of New York ::
Walker, of Massachusetts,; Rayner, of
Maryland, and Harter, of Ohio, are also
down fol speeches, some of which will
90 over on account Of Decoration Dar.
The bank question will get another day
on Thursday, to be displaced, however.
on Friday by private bills. The hopes
of the state bank men are to close the
debate and, if possible, get vote before
the week closes. The anti-option bill
and the Indian appropriation bill are
pressing for consideration. and one or the
other of these will follow the state bank
bill. 1t is hardly expected, however,
that either of them can be reached dur
Ing the coming week.
