erai hundred men have been shoveiing all
day, and so far three bodies have been re-
covered. The snow is forty feet deep and
aimoss as solid as ice. The Gem, Frisco
and Poorman mines turned out their
whole force of miners 10 work for the re-
coyery of the bodies. Arthur Sxayne was
taken out alive. but very seriously injured.
Owing to the intfnse excitement il Is i'm

The bodies of man, woman and . little
girl have been found. Within mile and
half above Gem are three other slides,
one of them covering both railroads to .
depth of more than 100 feet. This is
damming Canyon creek. and fears of .
food are entertained. Some of the slides
have been very destructive to fumes and
railroad property. but the full damage will
not be known before many days. About 4
p. m. slide came down between Wallace
and Gem, cutting off communication.
Another on Placer creek carried away q
part of the electric light company's tume.
and tonight Wallace is in darkness.

would hold his answer until he could con.

sacramento Remains the Capital.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 29--This after
noon the supreme courts rendered 1t de-
cision in the suit of II. II. Livermors VS..
E. G. Waite. secretary Of state. The de-
ci.ion is most important one. involving
the question Of the right Of the Legislature
to order the removal of the state capital.
II will bs remembered that during the
closing hours Of the last session an act
was passed deegating the power in ques-
tion to the governor. attorney general and
secretary OF state. In the decision just
given the supreme conrt holds that the act
is of no force and effect. 1t Is imperative
for the reason that the Legislature could
not legally delegate its power to any In
dividuI or set of individuals. The sovereign
power rests alone in the hands of the peo-
pie. and ii 10 for them alone to settle the
question involved.

THE ARCHES AT EsoUIMALr.
Her Hull Not IDjured-Still Ne Tidinxs
Of the Grew.

VICTORIA, March 2a-The hull of the
bark Archer arrived at Esquimalt this
morning in tow of the Pioneer. having
been rignted by the trimming of her bal
last before she left the west coast. The
hull is not injured. and scarcely scratched,
except by the wreckage. The rudder
braces we're broken away. The only boat
on board was a small one in the after port
davits. The mainmast was broken of We
feet above the deck. the mizzenmast below
the deck and the foremast twenty feet
above the deck. There Is no evidence that
the ship received much heavy buffeting.
The deckhouse and matches are in the
same condition as whom she left port The
sheriff was placed in charge of the vessel
by the Canadian Pacific Navigation Com
pany.
The finding of only one Of the boats
leads to the belief that the men got of
with the other boats, hus nothing has
been heard of them. Rumor says that
Capt. Irving, Of the Canadian Pacific Nav
igation Company. and Jacobsen, who first
went on board the Archer. have adjusted
their respective claims.

LIVING ON THE ENEMY.

The loss of his pocketbook by George
W. Howard, Vice President OF the
American Railway Union. discloses the
fact that he had in his possession forty
annual passes over railroads in all parts
of the country and one for free pas
sage in the Pullman car on every line.
1t is probable that Mr.. Howard re-
CARDS It as In the interest of the Union
that he should ride free, especially II he
does not charge the Union for railroad
fare in his journeyings to and fro over
the country. But 1t does seem incon-
gruous that an officer OF the Union
should be a deadhead on the roads when
the Union severely denounces Labor
Commissioners, legislators, judges and
others for accepting such favors.
Especially will many labor men re-
gard 1t as singular that their representa-
tive should indulge in the luxury OF free
labor organizations are 80 severe on
the oppressive methods and selfish pol
icy of the Pullman corporation.
But then the explanation may be that
II is fair for a labor champion to get
all he can out OF the railroads and pal
ace-car companies, provided he gets Il
for nothing. and thus makes II an ex,
pense to the corporation. The argu
ment may be that Labor Commission
ers. judges and legislators are tn,
friends of the corporations. while tn,
union is their opponent. and that 1t Il
fair play to live on the enemy.
