Seattle, Wash, Dec. SIN its second
flood visitation, the Pacific northwest
is suffering to fully as great an extent
as during the disastrous November
storms. Yesterday the waters of many
rivers emptying into Puget sound from
the north and east reached an aDpal-
ling height. Between Friday and Mon

which were reconstructed and the
trackage rebuilt during the latter days
of last month, were again swept away.
The Snohomish river, between Sno-
homish City and Everett, is six miles
wide. The great Northern tracks be-

inundated to a depth of from two to
five feet, and three big bridges over

DOCTORS ARE POWERLESS
BAFFLED ENTIRELY IN THEIR
DIAGNOSIS.
Cannot Alleviate the Suffering or

Which Has Proven Fatal In IA
Large Proportion of the Cases--It
Is Well known Ia Asia Minor.


San Diego, Cal, Dec. S.-A strange
malady has broken out among the
lower classes in the city of Chill
pancingo, Mexico, the capital of the
state of Guerrero. Doctors of the
city have been entirely baffied in,their
diagnosis, and are powerless to al
leviate the suffering or to prevent the
spread of the disease, which has proven
fatal in a large proportion of the cases.
The symptoms are described TO be a
langour, followed by the appearance
of a bright yellow button upon the
forehead, deathly sickness and vomit-
ing, accompanied by exhaustion and
collapse The disease is not allied TO
yellow fever according to the physi-
clans. but its symptoms more nearly
approach then mysterious malady
known in Asia Minor than any other.
II is stated that the people of Aleppo,
Asia Minor, are attacked by the dis
ease at some period. and all newcomers
to the city are attacked within few
days, but the disease, curious as it is,
is rarely ever fatal in the far east. In
Mexico it assumes a malignant phase.

health are bestowing much attention
upon it, DIR. Demetrio Mejia, of the

Chicago, Dec. S.-Secretary Robert
Burke of the Cook county Democratic
central committee, and Joseph Martin,
a member of the executive committee,
left tonight for Lincoln, for the pur-
lose of inviting William j. Bryan to
be the guest of honor at the Jackson
day banquet OF silver Democrats, to be
held here Jan. s. and to receive his
answer.
A banquet at which many of the
national leaders will be present and
speak is also being arranged by the
National Democratic party for the
same evening here.
1t is said that Mr.. Burke will also
represent Governor Altgeld in confer
ence with Mr.. Bryan to obtain his adj
vice and views on the question of unit
ing the Democratic forces of the city
for the municipal election next spring.
There is a sharp division among the
silver Democrats. the governor and
his followers in the party machine adj
vocating an independent course so as
to keep up the silver agitation for the
campaign of 1900. His supporters,
however, are said to be in the minor
ity and there is strong talk of deDos-
ing the governor from the leadership of
the party in the state and city unless
a compromise agreement is reached.

Local Notes.

Chicago, Dec. S.-The advisory board
of the Western Passenger association
mileage bureau held a special meeting
today to consider the sanction recently
given by the central passenger com
rnittee to any member to issue a 5000
mile interchangeable ticket through a
bureau of that committee, and the eff
feet of that action on the western
roads, which now have only 2,000mile
Individual tickets. A good deal was
said in favor of adopting the big inter-
changea BILE ticket, and much more was
said in opposition to following in the
footsteps of the eastern organization.
1t was not intended TO reach any de-
cision of the question, but a meeting
for that purpose will be called soon by
the chairman Of the Western Passen-
ger association. The sentiment of a
majority of passenger officials is OPP
posed TO the agitation procedure of the
Travelling Mems Protective association,
whose agents are circulating petitions
throughout western states for 2-cent
a mile maximum law to be enacted by
legislatures if the roads will not grant
all the concessions of the Travelling
Men. The railroad men are prepared
to admit that something should be
done in the mileage line, but they say
bulldozing tactics will not move them,
and they want to take time TO decide
what is the best thing to be done.
Chairman Caldwell today gave au
thority to the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific lines to meet the
Canadian Pacific and 500 lines extern
sion of the Canadian excursion bust
ness to New England points, but the
ST. Paul Chicago lines cannot make
them effective without the eastern

planned that the approval of the board
of managers is not necessary because

Won Der Ahe Worsted.

ST. Louis, Dec. S.-Chris Won Der
Abe was worsted today in two suits
decided by the court of appeals. The
first was the suit of the old Athletic
Baseball club of Philadelphia against

Club association, which has been pend
ing several years. The suit was for
DANA ges from Won Der Ahes failure

exhibition game with the Athletics in
September, 1888. The judgment of the
lower court for $500 damages is sus-
tanned. The other case was a suit
by Clement Whirlwind and other Sioux
Indians for salaries due, and decides
the status of the Indian in civil courts.
Won Der Abe backed a Wild West show
two years ago that was a loser. and
refused to pay the Indians when the
show burst. In the first trial Won Der
Abe admitted all the material facts,
but claimed the Indians had no stand
ing before a civil court, while off their
reservation. The court of appeals held
directly against him.

There was at first strong inclina-

yesterday to organize another Thanks

withdrawal of the project to raise
fund among the British public to buy
a Christmas present for the United
States ambassador. The irritation
caused by this stupid and impertinent
scheme had become so intense that it
would soon have taken some form of
public expression. The subject was al
ready under discussion with that end
in view among Americans in England
when yesterdays issue of the Tele-
graph brought the welcome news that
Mr.. Bayard had ct last interfered and
requested the withdrawal of the solicit

this announcement was SO great that
nobody was inclined to quarrel with
the ungracious manner in which it was
made by the offending newspaper.
