Little Story Goes Along With His
Retirement from Politics.

New York, Dec. 3O-Hugh McLaugh-
lin, for many years the dictator Of the
Democratic party in Brooklyn, has
definitely announced his retirement
from political leadership. He will be
succeeded, according to the present I'M
Outstanding, by Bernard J. York.
The retirement of Mr.. Mclaughlin is
the close of a long, successful and pic
turesque political career. Many years
ago, when a young man, Mclaughlin
was employed in q rope-walk. One OF
his fellow workers was Jacob Worth,
who became and was. until turned
down" last autumn, at the behest Of
Senator Plat, the leader of the Repub-
lican party in Brooklyn. Mr.. McLaugh-
lin has twice held the Office of regis
trar. but aside from that has not been
a candidate
When, in 1898, the Democrats in
Brooklyn lost the mayoralty by over
10000, Mr. Mclaughlin declared that he
wanted to remain in politics just long
enough to see the party back in power
again. He has now followed out the
plan outlined at that time.

PEACEFUL VICTORIES.
How China May Be Conquered by
Commercial Exploitation.

Washington, Dec. 3J.-Some facts of
value to business men contemplating
an extension of trade into China are
offered by United States Consul Covert
at Lyons, France, in a special report to
the state department..
a brief report has been made to the
Lyons chamber of commerce, and sets
out in concise form the wonderful op-
pcrtunities for trade extension in pop
nlous China, the undeveloped mineral
resources of the country, and the prog
ress already made by the Germans
now become redoubtable rivals of the
English in China. The consul says
that, while the great nations of Europe
are grasping for Chinese territory, it
is probable that the most desirable con-
quests may be achieved by peaceful
methods. Civilized nations have equal
interests in opening the trade of China
to the world and the powers that at
tempt to accomplish it Ivy war and
conquest, do 70 nan strengthen
the Chinese wall

it regards it as morally certain that
Hai-Nan was occupied about a fort

The news that the French had oc-

SAILING OVER FARMS
Conditions Confronting the Farmers
of Washington.
THE CHEHALIS VALLEY
NOW LIES BURIED UNDER TEN
FEET OF WATER.
Floods Highest Ever Known-Farm-
ers Will Lose Heavily of Grain
and Hay-Landsides Have Done
Most Damage-No Mail Since
Last Sunday.

Tacoma, Wash, Dec. 30.-The Che
halls valley is a dreary waste of water.
That is all that confronts the eye in
every direction. Farms and highways
alike are under several feet of water,
and men go from one point to another
in boats. Fish Commissioner Little,
when he left the fish hatchery on the
Chehalis river, rowed across farms and
up the county road, now buried under
ten feet of water
Mr.. Little arrived from the flooded
district today on the first train that
had succeeded in getting through. He
says the loss will not be very extern
sive, but the prospect is not at all en-
couraging. Some of the farmers will
lose a large part of their grain and
hay stored on the farm, and others
may lose some stock.
HIGHEST EVER KNOWN.
THE floods are the highest ever
known in the valley. The smaller
streams, many of them tributary to
the Chehalis, are out of their banks,
and the usually placid creeks have be-
come raging torrents. The Saohet is
four feet higher than it has ever been,
and the WynCocho is over the railroad
tracks. At Oakville the branch line is
under three feet of water.
TT is not probable that much stock
will be lost, if the water subsidies soon.
The farmers will lose heaviest on their
stores of grain and hay, which were
in the gransries or in stacks.
LANDSLIDEs.
'Landslides have done the most dam
age. There have been small slides
along the line, but one of the largest
was the one which occurred above Che
halls this morning. They have now a
hydraulic engine at work, and will haye
the bank safe in a short time"
NO MAIL SINCE SUNDAY.
A special from Everett, Wash, to the
Ledger says no eastern mail has been
received there since last Sunday. 1t is
almost impossible to get any definite
news from the upper Snohomish valley.
The wires are reported to be down, and
the condition of the wagon roads, which
are flooded ON the bottom lands, with
some of the bridges gone, have prevent
ed any one from coming out of the
valley.
1t is understood that one span of the
railroad bridge at Sultan has been car
recently made in repairing the damage
by the November floods, have been
more or less washed away. From the
fact that the Great Northern will give
no indication when the line will be open
