FRASER RIVER RAMPANT.
Great Damage to Crops From the Overflow.
Settlers Are Moving to Higher
Ground

VANCOUVER. B. c., July 5.-Reports
from Fraser River districts say that the
river is steadily rising. AT Chiliwack
considerable damage has been done
to crops on the outlying lands
and the steamer Gladys has been
busiIy engaged for the past few days in re-
moving cattle and settlers effects to
higher ground. Nicomen Island is also
suffering from high water, and all down
the river on both sides, wherever low levels
are not fully protected by high dykes,
much damage is being done.
Mission City townsite will probably be
under water in many parts if the high
water continues. The opinion is ex-
pressed that if the water does not recede
very soon the loss will be considerable.
Word has just been received from West
minister that the water at high tide was
2 feet 8 inches below the mark reached
during the floods of 1894.
The steamer Gladys brings word that
Sumas is flooded and the water is up to
the banks at Chilliwack. At Langley the
water is level with the landing and at sew.
eral other places it is over the wharves.

SANTA CRUZ SALMON RUN
Schools of Big Fellows That Test
the Muscle of the
Angler.
Weigh From Forty to Fifty Pounds
and Game Enough for Any
Sportsman

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, July 5.-The sum.
mer run of salmon is on, with good sign s,
as the fishermen say, for big one. The
fish themselves are big ones. In fact they
are too big for the commercial advantage
of the men who follow fishing for living
More than 100 salmon were taken to-day
by less than dozen boats and many of
them weighed close to fifty pounds each,
while the small ones run from eight to
ten pounds each.
The Fish Commissioners, who were
here during the big run in February. said
there would be another big run in June.
They were not far amiss. The salmon
were here, but the fishermen didn't care
anything about them. The arrival WIS.,
itors, who saw the Philadelphia and the
Monadnock, furnished easier revenue for
the fishing craft, and the FISHERMEN KIN ew
the salmon would wait. They knew, TOO,
that the sardnes were coming closer in
and that the salmon would follow them.
Just after the warshlps were gone the
tishing-boatS were OBLIGED to sail several
miles seaward 10 make a catch that was
worth while, but they were coming closer
every day, until they are now operating
in the old fishing ground within two
and half miles of the wharf.
The catch OF to-day was all taken within
that distance and major portion OF them
within a mile and hall. There are tons
and tons of sardines close in, so that there
is no scarcity of bait But the fishermen
are disturbed over the size of the fish.
Those big fellows that weigh forty or fifty
pounds are game enough, and the sports
men may have fun enough with them, but
they break the fshermens rigging and
thus make their taking expensive, while
many of them get away. Tomorrow they
will be prepared for them with bigger
hooks and stronger rigging.
The prize salmon caught by DR.. Drullard
and Captain West yesterday proved bigger
than they had guessed. The fish was put
on scale and it marked 56N pounds, and
was the biggest salmon taken this year.
The sportsmen are now after the big rish
for the pride of being counted the heaviest

HOPING AGAINST HOPE.
Distinct Rappings Heard on the
Rails by Twin Shaft
ReScuerS.
Bare Possibility That Some of the
Entombed Miners May Yet
Be Living.

WILKESBARRE, Pa. July 5.-There
is bare possibility that some of the men
entombed in the Twin Shaft at Pittston
may be taken out alive. The rescuing
party which was at work from 10 o'clock
last night until 4 o'clock this morning on
coming to the surface reported to Mine
Foreman O'Brien that they had heard
rapping on the rails of the gangway road,
which may have been caused by some of
the entombed men. The rappings were
clear and distinct, as though some one had
struck the rail with hard substance. The
supposed signal was answered by the res
cuers in the same manner. After a short
silence the answer came back, clear and
distinct.
At o'clock tonight the rescuers say
they are within 400 feet of the entombed
men. The shifts have been increased
from twenty to thirty-five, who are re-
heved every half hour. They are still
cutting through the rock and progressing
more rapidly than at any time heretofore
since the work commenced.
Through the orders of General Superin-
tendent Law. several skillful men were
quietly sent into the shaft this afternoon
to verify, if possible, the hopeful story of
the rappings. After prolonged efforts and
the use of every method of signaling pos
sible they came back tonight with a re-
port of failure, not the least bit of noise
indicating that their labor in this direction
had been successful.
The work OF the three mine inspectors
to investigate the disaster will begin to.
morrow morning.

PREVENTS A CAUCUS.
Senator Vest Induces Missouri's
Delegation Not to Act Too
HaStIIy

| CHICAGO. ILL, July 5.-Maine led of
to-day in the matter of organization, heI
delegation, which reached Chicago this
morning. organizing after breakfast. q
resolution was adopted authorizing the
| chairman to confer with Mr.. Whitney and
| place the Maine delegation at the service
| OF the sound-money cause.
Mr.. Holman, who Is the Maine member
of the resolutions committee, said the
delegation was in favor of the nomination
| of Mr.. Whitney for President, but what il
would do IN thatreg could not be stated
unsil after the conference between Chair
man Gordon and Mr.. Whitney.
The caucus of the Missouri delegation,
which was held last night, resulted in no
positive action further than the selection
| OF Senator Cockrell as a member of the
! committee on resolutions The canyiiGacy
of Mr.. Bland and the policy to be pursued
| in order to make the work in his behalf as
effective as possible, was discussed from
| 10 O. clock until almost o'clock this morn
| ing, number of very enthusiastic
| speeches being made. Congressman Dear
mond advocated the Endorsement by the
delegation of the caucus of the silver men
which had been proposed for the purpose
of determining who shall be the silver
candidate. This was antagonized by Sena-
tor Vest; not for the reason, however, that
he was opposed to anything that Mr.
Bland's friends wanted, but because he
considered it bad policy at the present
time. In one of his characteristic speeches,
Vest called attention to the fact that
Bland was the leading candidate and
would in all probability be the choice of
the convention.
If the Missouri delegation were to take
the initiative in this matter its action
might be construed, Senator Vest said, as
an effort on the part of Missouri to unduly
hasten matters and take snap judgment in
favor of its candidate. It might also, he
feared, be unacceptable 10 delegations
from other States who had candidates to
come before the convention.
Senator Vest believed that the first steps
with respect to this proposed caucus
should be taken by the delegations pledged
to no particular candidate, and declared
that as soon as this was done Missouri
could properly participate in its proceed
ings. This advice was followed, and no
action was taken.
All the members of the Illinois delega-
tlon have not yet reached the city, but
those who are here-a majority of the
whole mum ber-heid a conference this
morning at the Sherman House. The
question OF the Endorsement OF a candi.
date was informally discussed and it was
speedily ascertained that very large ma
jority OF the whole delegation was favor
able to the nomination of Mr.. Bland.
Formal action will not be had, however,
until the conference of Tomorrow. At
this time it is believed Mr.. Bland through
the operation of the unit rule, will be for
mally indcrsed and members of the
various convention committees will be
selected.

CANTON, OHIO July 5.-Major Nc.
Kinley has decided to remain at home this
summer. He said to-day that he had need
of rest, and thought he could discharge
the manifold duties incident to the cam
paign to better advantage here than else
where. The people are still coming here
in large numbers to visit Major Mckinley,
and there will be many hundreds of callers
this week and as many next. Last week
1000 people from ou. of town called upon
him in single day. He shook hands
with all of them, and the ordeal did not
seem to fatigue him.
Most of the delegations who come to
Canton carry banners inscribed with the
words, Protection" Reciprocity, /"
Sound Money" and in many cases the
words Patriotism and Prosperity" ap-
pear in lurid letters on streamers and
banners.
Plans for the conduct of the impen dine
campaign are rapidly maturing-rapidly,
but not hurriedly. The work of the cam
paign will net be formally commenced
until the Democratic platform has been
adopted and the Democratic candidate il
nominated.

Mr.. Altgeld and his associates-Mr. Till
man and others-had demanded to throw
out enough gold men to make majority
for silver in the National Committee.
There had been no change in this plan, he
said; IN fact, everything indicated that
this sentiment was stronger than ever be-
fore.
To indicate how far this matter went and
to emphasize and corroborate his state
ments, Mr.. Whitney called on Mr.. Steven
son, chairman of the Michigan delegation.
whose seats are Deing contested, to state
his case. This Mr.. Stevenson did at
length He was asked numerous ques-
tions about the Michigan contests by Will
liam +. Sheehan and others. As a further
indication that the silver men had not
abandoned this particular idea and were
going to press it to a final conclusion In
lieu OF abrogating the two-thirds rule, at
least six cases were instanced where dele
gates had been asked what position they
would take in regard to the Michigan del
egation in case they were put on the COM
mittee on credentials. In each OF these
cases, where the delegate answered that he
would Judge of the merits of the case, but
could not Judge without hearing, he was
promptly turned down and man put in
pledged absolutely to displace the mem.
bers of the Michigan delegation who were
in favor of sound money.
At the conclusion of these narrations
Mr.. Whitney remarked that the refusal to
admit the Michigan delegation to the con-
vention would be as bad as the abrogation
of the two-thirds rule. 1t meant, he said,
so far as the Democratic party's organiza-
tion was concerned, nothing less than
chaos and anarchy, and he took it for
granted that no man in that room would
ever consent to such subordination of the
welfare of the country and integrity of the
party for any consideration.
The meeting was also addressed by Don
NJ. Dickinson. Controller Eckels, ex-
Governor Flower, Mr. Salisbury of Della
ware and Smith M. Weed of New York.
The conference heard statements about
contests from Missouri, Nebraska and the
Canton tOhio) District. These were
simply matters OF information. At a late
hour the meeting adjourned.
