A New Railroad Town,

Ed. Harnett, the popular hoiel
man of Buffalo Hump, has just ar
rived from Big canyon, which is
situated on the Clearwater. To a
PREss reporter Mr.. Harnett said
81 was at the new town of Peck
in Big canyon, which runs into the
Clearwater. At this place the
Northern Pacific has built sixteen
miles of track to the mouth of Pot
latch. There is big boom over
the entire section, as this point
takes in all the farming country in
that vicinity, which, as every one
knows, has the Nez Perez reserva-
ton on the south of the river. l
may locate there myself this winter,
but will have to be better satisfied
than l am now that it will pay bet
ter than Buffalo Hump. They
have large sawmill there which
is kept running night and day by
reason of the fact that they are
building mammoth warehouses to
accommodate the gigantic quanti-
ties of grain which is being shipped
in from the surrounding country.
Illustrative of the growth of the
section will say that when l came
through this same country in Feb
ruary was at the place where Peck
is situated now, and there was one
building there. Today they have
23 and more going up every day."
Mr.. Harnett will leave for Buffalo
Hump in day or two, where he
has valuable mining property.

REBELS USE ARTILLERY,

=. MANILA, Feb. 19, 4:35 p. MN the
city here matters are progressing much

liatives, and whatever apprehensions

CAMPAIGN AGAINST
PRESIDENT L0UBERT

PARIS, Feb. 19.-Altogether 100 ar
with to-day's' disturbances.
There is every sign of a campaign
against President Loubet, similar to
that which drove NJ. Casimir-PerIer TO
resign. Clearly. La Patrie Francaise
will leave no stone unturned to achieve
this object, it's chief ground of objection
being that the President is a Dreyfus-
ard. The street demonstrations which
have occurred have not been spontane-
Gus, but were evidently organized and
so far they have been easily suppressed.
1t is affirmed that the Dupuy Cabinet
will act energetically to maintain public
order.
The keynote of NJ. Loubets policy
may probably be found in the following
conversation with M. Bourgeoise, leader
of the moderate radicals, who came to
offer to the new President the support
of his party. Before accepting it, NJ
Loubet said:
You are doubtless aware that one of
the first enactments of any Ministry of
mine will be a stringent law to stem
the current Of insult, infamy and defa-
nation which now befouls France. l
fear that perhaps legislation of this
kind will scarcely tally with the radical
IDEAS
M. Bourgeoise's answer was a cheer
full acquiescence.
Herr Frischauer, the correspondent
here Of the Neue Freie Presse, has been
expelled from the country.

BOMBARDEO

(which has since been set on fire, and
retired to San Pedro Macate. The reb-
els still hold the country in the vicinity
of. Guadaloupe, Pasig and Petero, des-
:pite the efforts of the gunboats to dis
lodge them from the jungles on both
sides Of the river. The heat is intense
and is increasing percepubly daily.
g Under present conditions it is impos-
'sible to provide shade for the troops in
certain parts of the line, particularly
eMcArthur's division. Kings brigade is
also exposed from San Pedro Macate to
Culicull, where it joins Ovenshine's
brigade.
q. MIR. Higgins, the manager of the Ma
nila-Daguapan railroad, is believed to
be safe at Bayambang, although no
communication has been received from
him since Friday. He was housed at
Major Clark's place with his wife and
family and about six other English
men. some OF whom are accompanied
by their wives. While 1t is unlikely
that the natives of the locality would
harm them, 1t is feared that others
from distant provinces might wreak
vengeance at their expense

trenches for twenty minutes. The only
effect of the fire was apparently to
drive the rebels further inland.
Beyond a few Intellectual volleys
from the trenches, which were returned
with interest. the enemy made no dem
onstration, and all is quiet along the
rest of the line. Scouts claim to have
seen General Pho del Pillar, who COM
manded the rebels at Paco, with his
arm in sling, directing the troops.
General Montenegro, the insurgent
commander-in-c chief, is reported to be
personally conducting the movements
in front of General Kings line at San

Laughn who let the of the bag. In his efforts to
win the Bua men, he told than he ought
to have told and he told louder than shrewd manager
should tell his secrets the veil has dropped and another
fisy pretext of the leaders of the Burns faction
has gone a-glmmerng
The feline released during conversation held last
Friday between Major Mclaughlin and Assemblyman Me
lick old Simpson had just decided to sail under the
black flag the Senatorial fleet and had sealed his pot1-
cal doom by voting for Burns Flushed with victory Nc
Laughn had decided win Meck also, and he told
the Assemblyman
Now Melick does drink than is good for him
and he far through the political gndstone
other so when Mclaughlin told him he should listen to
the wishes of his party and for Burns, Meck vigor
ousy denied that the party had spoken Mr. Melick
seen tonight thus detailed the conversation that fol-
lowed:
"The major said to me: You know who the party
wants
81 replied that thought did, seeing that voted once
day.
"'You should the party Wishes said the major
The organization should have say in the matter
81 told him the organization had never spoken To this
he replied that he had tried the State Central Com

eraphed United States Senator Mark Hanna for peris
sion to do So but Hanna wouldn't give his consent The
major then produced telegram from Hanna which in ef
feet that against all party usage to call State
Central Committee together for any such purpose decar
ING for anv particular Senatorial candidate He hoped the
long deadlock would nure the party California but
he could sanction any such the major had
mapped out.
That was the end of the conversation and Melck and
the friends who were with him and who and heard ALL
left Mclaughlin sorrowing the refusal to allow him
play his great card.
So falls all the talk about the organization 1t
intended that the party should be consulted, but it
hoped the Central Committee could be braced up sufficient
" to enable it to declare favor of Burns Now that the
scheme has exploded the tous must search for
other fairy tale whisper in the of confdng egsla

It significant that Burns and his eutenants have been
unable to draw the National administration into the fight
Hanna is not foregather with crowd of losers
