' In the bowling contest on the club
alleys. Wednesday, the ladies' were
rather unfortunate, for they lost some
of the laurels they had won in the past
games, and were forced to surrender
to the team composed of the sterner
sex after having hotly contested four
games. But since they had been VIC
torious in all former tourname nts,
they could gracefully submit to defeat
once. In the contest the ladies were
allowed han dlcap of 43 in each game.
The individual scores made by each of
the several players, in the four games,
was as follows:

WENT UNDER THE CARS.
Mike Wagner Seriously Hurt While
Boarding Train

Boarding Train
When freight train No. % started
out OF The Dalles going west last
Thursday, terrible accident occurred
at the crossing of Court street. A
man who gives his name as Mike
Wagner was standing on the cross
walk in front of the D. z. & A. N. Of
fee and made rush to board fiat car,
presumably intending to get free
ride. In some way he missed bis hold
and fell under the train, which was
going at quite a rapid rate. The
wheels of one truck passed over both
his feet, cutting the right one almost
entirely off at the ankle, and mangling
the other leg terribly above the ankle.
AS soon as the train passed, crowd
gathered and took charge of the un-
fortunate man until Marshal Lauer
arrived and called DIR. Hollister. They
took him to the marshal's office. where
in the afternoon Drs. Hollister and
Logan removed the right foot, the one
that was injured the worst.
The injured man is stranger here
and appears to be laborer. He was
so severely hurt that be could cot
talk more than to give his name, and
state that he had no friends in this
country. He probably had arrived
during the night with companion,
as another man was seen to board the
trail at the time he made the unfor-
tunate attempt to get on.

WILL ADVOCATE
ARBITRATION
This Will Be the Plan Of Our
Representatives.

New YORK, March pa dispatc
TO the Herald from Washington says
There is reason to believe that au i'm
portant proposition looking to th'
settlement of international disputes
by arbitration will be advanced by the
American delegates at the coming
disarmament conference.
| 1t is learned on high authority that
the credentials for and instructions to
the American de sgates are now being
prepared by Sec "etary Hay, and that
they will be rea ly for Submission to
the president for his approval when
he returns to Washington from his
Southern trip. These Instructions
will be complete exposition of the
position of this government on the
question of disarmament and arbitra-
tion.
Sir William Pauhcefort has been
advised of his appointment as senior
member of the British delegation.
The British minister to The Hague
will also be a member.
M. De Staael, the Russian ambas.
sador to Great Britain and leading
representative of the czar at the con-
ference, will be assisted by Professor
Martens, professor of International
law in the university at ST. Peter sburg
and probably by the Russian minister
to The Hague.
Following the policy, which it seems
likely that all the nations will adopt,
President Mckinley will accredit the
of the Netherlands as one of
5he American delegates. Ambassa-
iors White ana Tower will probably
,e the other members of the Ameri-
IAN delegation.
So far as the proposition for gen.
'ral disarmament of the nations of the
world is concerned, it will be the duty
VI the American delegates~to explain
md to show that the United States
laval and military establishment is r
ar below what it should be, and be.
ides that this government does not
intend to hamper in any way the in.
entive faculty of the people of this
ountry. Nor is it expected that
ireat Britain will DO so. Il fact, the r
lost important result which the Of
cials expect of the conference will
g the adoption OF some plan for the
eference of disputes to general arbi-
ration, and the United States will
aye plan of this character as we'll as
ther nations, +

captain j. &. MuIlet Will Capture 100 of
Them in Oregon Waters.
Captain J. R. Mullett, of New York
accompanied by his wife, was in Al
bany on Monday. His business card
set forth that he is "the only man who
makes business of catching sea lions
and sending hem all over the world"
He is after 100 lions and is going to
secure them regardless of price. He
has heard about seal rocks and intends,
to make a haul there. The sea lions
gather around at this season of the
year to prey on the salmon entering
the streams devouring many of the
favorite fish. Captain Mullett will pur-
chase two tons of smelt and freeze
them, and will feed his housed, but un-
tanned, water monarchs with them
during their shipment across the conti-
nent. He went over to Yakima.
Captain Mullett will lasso most of
his sea lions at night. He uses an elec,
trio light and steam launch, and as
any one who Eas seen a sea lion can
imagine, it is quite a trick to catch
one and something more of job to
handle one after you get the lasso
around his ferocious body. A full grown
sea lion is about as large as Clydesdale
horse, and sets pace like torpedo
boat chasing sunbeams, So one can
get a minds eye view of the joyful
sport it is to successfully land one with

MANY LIVES ARE LOST.
An Enormous Rock ON Which Stood
the CApuccini Hotel slides
Bodily Into the Sea.

Rome, Dee. pa terrible disaster
took place yesterday afternoon at Amalf,
the popular tourist resort on the Gulf OF
Salerno. About . o'clock an enormous
rock, upon which stood the Cappuccini
hotel, slid bodily into the sea with deaf
ening roar and without a moments warn
ing, carrying with it the hotel, the old
Capuchin monastery below, the Hotel
Santa Calerina and several villas.
Many people were buried in the debris,
which crushed four vessels to the bottom
of the sea, destroying their crews.
The mass of earth which slipped was
about $4,000 cubic yards.
The population is in state of terror,
fearing fresh calamities. Troops have
arrived upon the scene and begun rescue
work.
1t is believed that the loss of life is
heavy, including number of monks
and the occupants of the hotel. AS yet
it is impossible to ascertain the exact
number.
Amalfi is a small, but lively town of
70UO inhabitants, situated at the en-
trance OF a deep ravlne, surrounded by
imposing mountains and rocks of the
most picturesque forms. The Capuchln
monastery was founded in 1912 by Car
dinal Pietro Capuano for the Cisterians,
but came into possession Of the Capu-
chlns in 1888. The building, which stood
in the hollow of the great rock that rose
abruptly from the sea to n height of go
feet contained tive clOlsters.

AGED MINISTERS A HINDRANCE
ELAN Maclarcn" Advocates System of
Compulsory Retirement at sixty.

Elan Maclaren" Advocates System of
Compulsory Retirement at sixty.
In the Ladies' Home Journal Ian
Maclaren' writes on 'Should the Old
Clergyman be Shot," contending that
"short of immortality and unbelief, one
cannot imagine a greater hindrance to the
energy Of the church than large pro-
portion of aged and infirm ministers in
active duty For this will mean obsolete
theology, the neglect of the young, isola-
ton from the spirit of the day, and end
less wrangling. Nothing would more GER
tainly re-enforce the energy of the church
than the compulsory retirement upon sat
isfactory terms of every minister above
the age of 80. For this would mean not
only a reserve of good men upon whom
the church could depend in emergencies,
but a perpetual tide of fresh thought. At
present, congregations have a grievance
against old ministers who think they are
young, and old ministers have a grlev-
ange against congregations who do not
respect age, and between the two arise
many scandals and breaches of the peace.
When the church is as we'll managed as a
tirst-rate business concern, then this
standing feud will be healed, and no one
will be so much respected and loved in
the Christian church as the faithful min
lister who has served her in the fullness of
his strength. and now in the days of his
well-earned rest enriches her with his
counsel"

Quincy, Ill, Dec. 23.-While the school
children of st. Francis parochial school,
Seventeenth and Vine streets, were re-
hearsing yesterday afternoon for an en-
tertainment to be given next Tuesday
evening, one of their dresses caught fire
from gas jet and ten minutes later four

All these are between 8 and II years
of age. Helen Soebbing and several 9TH
err teachers, Father Nicholas and Prof.
Frank MuShold were painfully burned in
trying to save the children.
The fire started in little dressing
room. Three or four little girls were
there dressing for the rehearsal and
laughing among themselves. A dozen

stage near the foot of the stairs descend
ing from the dressing room. The girls in
the dressing room had nearly completed
their costumes when one of them brushed
against the gas jet, but which it was will
never be known. A touch of the flame
was sufficient, and in an instant her dress
of cotton and light cloth was in blaze.
She screamed and ran out of the room,
communicating the blaze to the others as
she ran.
One of the girls whose dress was ablaze
jumped out of small window into the
stairs leading to the stage and down the
stairs. A flaming torch she was, as she
almost fell down the stairs and rushed
into the groups of children standing in
the wings. They were all clad like her.
in fancy costumes of cotton, lace and silk
and the fire spread with incredible rapid
ity from one to the other. There were
fourteen children in the cast Of the
Christmas entertainment and only few
escaped. 1t was all over in ten minutes
and in that time four persisted, seven
were fatally burned and others more or
less severely injured.
