WASHINGTON. June ia stampede oc-
Cured among the clerks Of the Census
ONCE this afternoon as a result Of Director
Merriam's recent order providing for the
payment OF employees after Office hours.
One woman was severely wounded about
the head several others tainted. and an
immense glass covering for an electric
switchboard was destroyed. To prevent
confusion. Mr.. Merriam directed yesterday
morning that the clerks should form at the
entrance on First street In column Of twos
and march to the main entrance on B street.
through which they we're TO approach the
office OF the disburser. Instead Of needing
this order, about 1000 clerks grabbed hats
and coats and scrambled through the door
way and windows at the first stroke Of the
bell at o'clock
A scene OF confusion prevailed. the door
way became jammed and men struggled
with one another TO get through. One
elderly female clerk, who was unable to
extricate herself from the throng, tripped
and fell headong down the stairs. cutting
an ugly cash in her forehead.
When the crowd reached the b street
entrance Chief Clerk MscAuley heard the
noise and rushed from his Office. followed
by Assistant Chief Clerk Fowle. The two
officials attempted to stop the rush. but
were pushed aside Mr.. MacAuley ran
TO the head Of the staircase and commanded
the men to stop, but once more he was
rushed against the wall
He then drew q pad from his pocket and
began writing down the names Of the men
he recognized. but the clerks snatched
the pad from his hands. and tore It into
pieces. At the same time a crash was
heard. the electric lights throughout the
building were extinguished. and stimuli
taneously the revolving fans came TO a
sudden stop II was discovered later
that some one had smashed the glass cover
ing OF the switchboard which controls
the Census Office electric service. The
crowd yelled, and the officials returned
to their offices, but the uproar continued
for an hour.
II il said that the stampede was partly
caused by orders recently issued by Direc-
tor Merriam, curtailing the freedom of
the clerks One Of the orders prohibited
employees from communicating with one
another on any subject whatever during
Office hours.

BELIEVED TO BE- LOST.
LITTLE HOPE FOR THE MISSING
FISHERMEN.
Have Been Gone Nine Days Now and
Rough Weather Causes Seamen to
Give Them up.

No news has been received of the
four missing Portuguese fishermen. 1t
is now believed that the entire quar-
tette was lost and the only trace which
will ever be secured of them will be
bits of their wrecked boat. Manuel and
John de Ponte, Antoine de Costa and a
fourth man compose the missing crowd.
All of the men are well known on the
water front as they have been engaged
in the fishing business for some time.
They had made the trip to Waimalalo
sufficient number of times to have
learned that when the weather was bad
such an expedition was a very risky
performance. 1t would have been or
dinarily hard enough for one of the
Staunch Japanese Sampans to weather
rough weather but to attempt it in
such a craft as the Portuguese took
out was foolhardy. They used nothing
but an ordinary row boat in which they
had rugged a sail. The wind has been
good the last week or so and no doubt
they thought that they could make the
run to the Waimanalo fishing banks
and return with east The wind has
been blowing from the Waikiki quarter
off an on, for some days past and they
could have run in within a few hours.
In all probability the sea was too rough
for the boat and she capsized or might
have been driven onto the rocks. In
the latter event there is a slight chance
that one or more of the men may have
escaped.
1t was reported yesterday that some
japanese fishermen who had been lying
off Barber's Point had seen an upturn-
ed boat in that vicinity. According to
the description which they gave of the
craft it was similar to that taken out
by the Portuguese.
More definite advices may be received
when the steamer j. A. Cummins re-
turns from her present trip to Wal
manalo and Koolau ports. She left yes.
terday morning. 1t will take several
days for her to make the round trip so
not until the first of next week can any
news of the missing men be brought by
her. Inasmuch as the facts of their
absence were not made public until af-
ter the Cummins left port, her officers
were not notified to keep a special look
out for the Portuguese. If anything is
learned by the little steamer it will be
by accident.
This makes the ninth day that the
party has been gone. Ordinarily the
men made the round trip in two DAYS.
They are therefore a week overdue and
their failure to return can be account
ed for only by the fact of their being
lost.
