coRBETT TO BE SEATED.
Washington Post

Washington Post
Hon. H. W. Corbett, OF oregOn, one OF
the most pCominent and influential men
on the Pacific coast, who has beea APP
pointed to the senate to fill vacancy
caused by tae expiration of the term Of
Hon. John H. Mitchell. returned to Wash
ington last night after an absence Of sew
eral months, ami has taken quarters for
the winter at the Arlington. With him
are Mrs Corbett and young lady from
Portland who has been Mrs. Corbett's
travelling companion during the summer.
Mr.. Corbett has returned to Washington
10 renew his campaign for a seat In the
senate, and. to conclude from his con
versatfou. he is very confident Of being
seated He was appointed in accordance
with the language Of the constitution,
which empowers the state executive to
I'LL a vacancy in the senate caused by
death. resignation or otherwise" The
legislature OF Oregon failed to organize,
no communications were received from or
sent to rare chief executive, no revenue
bills were passed, In fact nothing was
accomplished After a do-nothing session
Of several weeks the legislature adjourned
IN deadlock, and the governor, exercis-
ing his prerogatfve appointed Mr.. Coroett,
whom he deemed to be the most eminent
citizen In the state.
Mr.. coroett was In Washington last ses-
sion pressing his claim, but as the tarir
was pending VI was thought best that the
case should go over until the regular ses-
sion. In the meantime Senator Hoar. OF
Massachusetts,, a member Of the commit
tee on privileges and elections. was des-
igated as a subcommittee Of one to ex-
anime into the merits Of the case This
he did, and has reported 20 the full COM
mittee IN favor of seating Mr.. Corbett.
This committee which will hold a meet
ing the first week Of congress- viii report
the Corbett case favorably to the senate,
whore the right Of Mr.. Corbett to seat
will be determined. Party lines viii not
be sharply drawn in this case, as at least
two republican senators, and perhaps
three, viii not vote for Mr.. Corbett. 1t
is not because they have anything against
him, but because they voted against Hon.
Lee Mantle. who was applying for seat
in The senate in SO. under conditions
somewhat similar. II they should now
vote for Mr. Corbett their attitude would
seem inconsistent with their former pol
icy, and it is this fact which will keep
them from Mr.. Corbett's support. How
ever, the latter expects to more than
make up for the republican detection from
democratic ranks. Several democratic
senators, who are prompted solely by the
law in the case, have announced their
intention Of voting for the Oregon man.

try and set matters right. At the con.
ference there were present the arch

and st. Boniface, Manitoba, and a
number of bishops. The conference
was held with closed doors and the ut
most secresy was maintained a. to the
nature of the proceedings. The con-
ference is expected to extend ver sew
eral days and the delegate will then
proceed to Quebec and will subse-
~quently visit Manitoba, to investigate
on the spot the question of separate

MUST BE no DELAY.
Landing OF the New Chinese Minister -
he Oficially Facilitated.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 10.-Collector
Wise has received instructions from
the secretary of the treasury TO meet
the new Chinese minister OH his ar
rival, and to afford every facility for
landing him and his suite. There are
between SO and 20 people IN his tram,
and they are to be landed, under the
instructions Of the secretary or the
treasury, without any OF the formal
tiles or red tape required IL the case Oh
ordinary Cinnamon.
The Instructions were more than
usually explicit, because when the
last Chinese minister arrived here,
through some misunderstanding. there
was IA delay and the minister was kept
waiting for three or fOur hours before
he was permitted to come ashore, a
matter that was considered "a grave
d~Iscourtesy to a friendly nation.
Banquetst to he Given.
The Chinese Six Companies have had
several meetings during the past few
days to arrange plans for a reception.
Two banquets will be given i'll his
honor. One of them will be in the
American style at a leading restaurant
or hotel, and the other will be i'll
Chinese style. Invitations will be ex-
tended to the governor and other Off.
Gals. How long the minister will stay
here is uncertain. He will look into
the trouble in Chinatown between the
See Yups and Sam Yups and arrange a
settlement. AS he IN from one of
the See Yup districts, the members of
that organization are hopeful that the
differences will be settled in their
favor.
His arrival means a clean sweep at
the consulate, the successor to the pres
ent consul having already been named.

People of Fargo Conclude to
Get Along Without Federal
Assistance.
Damage Done There Not So
Great as Was at One Time

The Red River Still Rising
at Grand Forks and
Pembina.

WASHINGTON, April l0.-The people
Of the submerged district OF the Red
River Of the North have declined the
government aid voted them by con-
gress on Wednesday. When the flood
came III the Red river, a quarter OF a
million dollars worth of property was
destroyed at Fargo, n. D., and 80 miles
of fertile territory were inundated. An
appeal was made to congress through
the mayor of Fargo, and 10000 for the
Red River Of the North was added to
the appropriation of Sl5O,O0O for the
Mississippi flood sufferers. After the
passage of the resolution, Representative
Johnson Of North Dakota, went to the
war department and placed Secretary
Alger, under whose direction the fund
was to be distributed, in ~communica-
ton with the relief committees of
Fargo. But the prospects along the
Red River of the North have become
brighter. Representative johnson of
North Dakota, has received the follow
ing telegram from the mayor Of Fargo /:
Have declined aid from congress.

great as expected"

Fargo Citizens Claim Reports of Damage
Have Been Exaggerated.
FARGO, n. D., April l0.-There be-
ing a diversity of opinion as to the
matter of receiving aid from congress
for sufferers Of flood, Mayor Johnson of
this city called a meeting Of citizens to
discuss the question. The meeting was
an enthusiastic one, and great indigna-
ton was felt among those present re-
garding the exaggerated reports sent
out regarding the floods. A motion
was unanimously passed that it was
the sense of the meeting that Mayor
Johnson wire Secretary Of War Alger
that no substance is needed. Sena-
tors Hansbrough and Roach and Con.
gresham Johnson were also wired TO
the same effect. People of Fargo be-
lieve that the f1ood vas caused largely
from unnatural sources rather than
natural. Culverts on the railroads
have been enlarged. and no o was
this done than the water commenced
to Iecede, and at the present writing
high water has gone down several
feet.

AT GRAND FORKS.
Water Continues TO Rise, But Not Quite
as Rapidly.

GRAND FORKS, n. d., April lO.-The
situation here continues to grow worse,
and the probabilities are hat the sur
rounding country will be flooded, as
the river is still rising from M to two
inches an hour. At 6 O'Clock a. m. it
had reached 40 feet 3 inches. From !
TO IL o'clock the water had risen two and
one-Qnarter inches. There are some
few old-tlmers who are of the belief
that there will be a turning point some
time during the night, while there are
others who firmly believe that the
water will continue to rise. Business
is almost entirely suspended.
All the large business blocks have
from 6 to 10 feet of water in their
basement and ground floors. Resi-
dents and business >men on De Mers
avenue have all removed to other
quarters.
The Central and Belmont schools
have closed on account of high water
in their Easements, which has put out
the furnace fires.
