FLOODS AROUND SEATTLE.

Seattle. Wash, Nov. 1.-THE Cana
dian Pacific is the only road moving thus
far, but it is claimed that the Great
Northern will push it's coast line train
out tomorrow, and railway men say the
Northern Pacific overland will probably
be in tomorrow night, but this is hardly
thought possible. The rivers are still
very much swollen. The steamer City of
Champagne came down the river last
night from Mount Vernon and arrived
today. During the night the steamer
was forced by the current over the dyke
and went floating over a Delta ranch
er's farm. The steamer was gotten back
amid drifting into the stream again, and
| reached the sound without misEap.
The news reached Seattle today Of the
drowning at North Yakima of Martin
| Fredstead and William Davidson in the
Yakima river, which stream is also very
high. The men were attempting to save
two companions, when they lost their
lives. The storm has reached it's limits
and the waters are at standstill.

KILLING OF 4 CIVILIAN BY AN
ARMY OFFICER DISCUSSED
IN THE REICHSTAG.
.|MPALED HIM WITH HIS SWORD
Civilian Accidentally Pushed Othcer
Chair-NIinister of War Inclined to
Condone 1t on Grounds of
Alleged Honor.

Berlin, Nov. 1.-THE chancellor. Prinhe
Hohenlohe. replying to the Interpolation
of Herr August Nickel, on the Brueso-
WITT incident of October ID last, when
a lieutenant ran workman through
named Siebmann, who had accidentally
pushed against the officers chair while
entering Il cafe, stated that the military
department was preparing new regnla-
tons with the object of lessening duelling
as much as possible.
The government, he added, was con-
sidering an amendment to the civil law
and the preparation of other measures;
but it was hoped that they would be over
come by the action of parliament.
The prerogative of mercy, the chan
cclor further stated, appertains to The
crown and, therefore, is not subject TO
the judgment of the reichstaG.
Gen. Won Gossler, the minister of war,
then addressed the house. dealing directly
with the Bruesowitz affair. The lieu
tenant, it is alleged, killed the civilian be-
cause he believed that the honor of his
in pushing against the chair by the unfor-
tunate workingman. The officer was
court-martaled and sentenced to four
years Imprisonment and dismissed from
tho army.
Gen. Gossler. amidst constant inter-
ruptiOns. then went on to announce that
the Judgment of the court martial had
been pronounced, but had not yet been
sanctioned. Therefore, he explained, 1t
had no force in law.
Continuing, the minister of war said
that the documents bearing on the affair
were to be submitted, by imperial COM
mand, to the minister of war. and so
soon as this was done the sentence would
be published, together with the reasons
which prompted it.
Gen. Gossler then alluded to Herr
Munckels fire brands" which caused Il
great uprOar in the house.
The general further said: "rhe honor
of wearing the kings uniform and re-
spect for the cOlors are sentiments that
we shall never abandon" loud pro-
teSts.)
When the tumult subsidized, the minis
ter of war continued: Il regret the at
tack made on the officers and | hope the
house will judge the circumstances with
out bias"
A lively debate followed the remarks
of the minister of war.
Herr Bebel, the socialist leader. then
criticised Gen. Won Gossler's remarks in
referring to the death of Siebmann, de-
scribing them as not gentlemanlike and
blaming him for using his words.
Herr Babel was called to order.
The house then adjourned until
Thursday.

BALFOUR ON ARMENIANS.

london. Nov. 17.-Mr. Arthur BaIf0uf,
the government leader in the house of
commons, speaking at Rochdale tonight,
dwelt upon the difficulty of effecting a
concert of the powers over Armenia.
England he added, had no Interior OBJ
ject or desire for ACKNOWLEDGMENT and it
was misfortune for the whole world
that she had been enormously credited
abroad with ambitious aims. 1t was inn
possible that England should undertake,
in opposition to the wish of Europe, a
crusade which, while it would not bene-
fit the Armenians, would perhaps i'm,
pose upon England overwhelming re-
Sponsibilities.

cables were fastened around It and MAGE

water gets much higher the strong cur

Central has to land its passengers on
street above the station. Its upper bridge
is still above the flood, but it canot reacn
it and its trains have to back in over the
lower bridge below the city on the Eau
Claire branch. One train was sent
through the water to the upper bridge
last night, but the experiment could not

situation here.
Along the river there are a number OF
critical situations. In this city there
are more fears from the result ii the

that break in this Little Falls dam,
thirty miles above here, would carry
nearly everything away here. In the
same way the people of Eau Claire fear
the result if the ice gorge here breaks
too suddenly. while those below Du1lnd
are entertaining the same fears for the
outcome there.
At o'clock Col. JONES' accompanied
by the mnayor and Manager Irvine of the
logging company, drove down the river
to Gravel island, six miles from here,
where an attempt will be again made to
break the gorge. Yesterday several at
tempts were made there but they re-
suited in no particular Improvement. At
that point there is 81 stretch of smooth
ice with gorges piled up below and above.
The work was begun on the lower end
of the upper gorge. but as the ice was
torn away from there it Immediately
lodged against the lower gorge and no
special benefit to the general situation re-
suited. That being the situation after
yesterdays blasting, it is hard to say
what may be decided ON to-day.
Col. Jones is in Doubt.
Col Jones, after an extended trip along
the river where he viewed the big ice
gorge from various points, says that he
could not give an opinion yet as to what
was. best to do, but that he had found
that the ice pack or gorge extended eight
cen miles and that while the water was
rising in Chippewa Falls the river itself
was falling and that he did mot believe
that the danger was so very great just
noMr Further than this he would not
speak until he had investigated more
thoroughly.
A delegation of thirty or forty citizens
of Eau Claire arrived in the city at noon
and called on Mayor Lindley of Chippe-

Uses. for the Horse

So, after all, the wheel isn't going to
render the horse useless. The horse has
a vital advantage over the bicycle. We
can't eat the latter.
A Western man is canning nice, juicy
Indian ponies, each one making six
cases of As one-pound cans. These
cute ponies cost all the way from $3.50
to $500 each.
How nice. This pony meat may be-
come one of the stable articles of food,
but it gives one the nightmare to think
of it. It's enough to make vegetarian
of one.
A party near Portland, Ore, is put
ting up quite an extensive plant for
the purpose of grinding these nice
horses into some fine substance to be
used as fertilizer.
So. we see, that both as food and a
fertilizer the horse has the long end Of
the string. You couldn't eat bicycle
any more than you could a professional
boarding house steak. It is equally as
great a failure as fertilizer. In these
two respects, at least, it is no competi-
tor of the horse; it is completely out
classed. Hence, the kind-hearted per-
sons who were afraid the overloaded,
underfed, bruised and beaten horse
would become useless may dry their
tears. He will remain, but not because
he is good for food or as fertilizer.
He will be loved because he is kind
and noble and beautiful animal, for
whom the bicycle will prepare smooth
level highways, where he will happily
exemplify the good and gracious pur-
pose for which he was intended.-L. A
