 The nomination of Brigadier General George L. Gillespie chief of engin> eers. as originally sent to the senate. limited his appointment to the term of four years. A further consideration of the subject satisfied the president and the secretary of war that the office Of chief of engineers was especially ex- empted from the four-year detail clause of the army reorganization law.
 The nomination thereupon was with drawn and a new one wGs sent in by which appointment General Gillespie if. confirmed will run until his statutory retirement.
 Just before adjournment the senate confirmed the nonina ton of Philander c. Knox to be attorney general of the United States. The ballot stood 43 to '. There was no roll call.

RECEDING WATERS
They Leave an Awful We ste of Prop
 erty Behind Them.

Philadelphia, Dec. 16.-Advices from all sections of the eastern half of Penn sylvania, over which area Saturday nights storm ragged furiously. are to the effect that the waters covering the flooded districts are receding and rail- road and telegraphic communication is slowly being restored. From Towanda comes an announcement of three deaths caused by the flood near that town and the additional statement that two oth-
 CTS will die from the effects of exposure.
 The damage to property and the pe- cuniary loss from the enforced suspen sion of many industries will reach many hundreds of thousands of dollars. Dozens of coal mines are flooded along with hundreds of industrial concerns located along. the waterways, thus throwing idle thousands of men. It :s estimated that more than 40.0O persons have been rendered idle. The railroad situation Is gradually becoming better.

THE OASIS CLUB
A New Organization for Sociability
 and Culture.

Some days ago mention was made of a dinner party given at the residence of Professor and Mrs. A. J. McClatchie- So far as known at the time the gath ering was Of no special significance ether than a good meal and a jolly time but 1t resulted in the formation last night of a new club for gentlemen which 1t Is believed will grow, prosper and be Of great benefit to It's members and possibly to others.
 The club is select to some extent, though not entirely exclusive. Most of the members are graduates of some school of acknowledged standing and aside from the social features the ob- jects of the club are the discussion of questions of a scientific or economic nature. The officers for the ensuing year were elected last night and a con stitution and bylaws were adopted. The club will meet twice a month and its bylaws require that each meeting shall be begun with good dinner. That Is the first and an all-important article of faith. Following the dinner will come the reading of enc or more papers and discussion of the subjects intro drced. The first meeting was held last night at Coffee AIS place and began with a banquet. in accordance with law. and which was appreciated. as all members of the club in good standing are required to bring their appetites with them. The club is patterned after the famous Sunset club of Chicago. but it has been appropriately named the Oasis club. The officers elected are: Chancellor. Prof. A. J. McC1a tchie: sec retary. Mir. Dwight B. Heard. and treasurer, Mir H. A. Diehl

M0DERATING COLD
Conditions in Blizzard Stricken Re
 zion More Favorable.

Cheyenne, Wyo.. Dec. 16.-The severe snow and wind storm which set in last Monday night and which has been ac- companied by the coldest weather seen in this state for years is still raging in some sections. Conditions are pecom- ing more favorable for stock interests. as the cattle and sheep Will now be able to secure feed on ranges where the snow has been blown off.
 The loss of life in Wyoming due to the blizzard is probably m excess Of tes. persons. Five persons are known to have lost their lives. Of these three were herders, one a railroad man anc the ether a woman. Five herders were reported lost near Point of Rocks, and as their dogs came to town, the men undoubtedly perished. A civil engineer named Hemingway, who left Casper several days ago to visit a ranch. got lost and searching parties are securing the prairies for him. His friends believe he is dead.

THE ESCAPE OF HAYFORD
A More or Less Detailed Account of
 the Affair.

A copy of the Santa Barbara Inde- pendent was received at the office of the sheriff yesterday announcing the safe arrival in that city of Constable Hop kins and his famous prisoner, the Rev erend Joseph Anderson, alias George Hayford. after a most eventful jour ney.
 Constable Hopkins left Phoenix with Hayford a week ago last night. AnGer- son escaped by jumping from the train this side of Yuma, but was captured on the evening of the same day. The Independent says that Hayford arrived in Santa Barbara in a badly demoral- ized condition. He had been painfully hurt on one side and his head was se- verely cut He and Hopkins told two stories about the escape. and they were alike in only one particular. and that was that IIayford got off the train. Hopkins said that after the train left Blaisdeil and was running at forty-five miles an hour Hayford sprang from his

HENDRIX FREE
Be Was Fined Seventy Five Dollars
 in Both Cases.

The case Of J. F. Hendrix arrested for the theft of two pocketbooks from fellow employees on the Bartlett-Heard ranch, was disposod of yesterday in Justice Burnett's court ard Hendrix iS again at liberty.
 The robbery of Ed Curtis was admit ted, but Hendrix denied that he had stolen a pocketbook from Bench, not withstanding it was found on him when he was arrested for the Curtis theft. He was fined $50 in the Curtis case and s25 in that of Bench. The fines were paid by his son-in-law. He owes his freedom to representations made by several pec- pie in Tempe and others living here, who said that in his case stealing can hardly be called a crime; that while he is otherwise responsible and honest, hc seems to have no strength to resist tempta ton to appropriate the property of others to his own use. They said he was hard working man. good me- chanic and, but for this one fault, T good member of society

seat and before the constable could overtalSe him had gained the platform. The officer reached for him. but never touched him. In his excitement the constab ble was about to follow. but he recovered his judgment in time to save | himself. He tried to get the conductor fo stop the train, but he refused. to do , it. saying that Hayford was proba bIy dead. and if he were not it would be of no use for the officer to get out on the desert in the darkness. He could not find his trail. much less follow it. The conductor assured Mir. Hopkins that his prisoner could not get away. He went on to Yuma and the next morning at daylight Deputy Sheriffs Neahr and Martinez started out after the fugitive. They had no trouble in finding the place where Hayford had disembarked- He had turned somer- saults for several rods and wherever he hit the ground there was q hole in it. The officers could not see how he had survived. They got on his trail and followed it all day and in the even ing saw man walking slowly toward prospector's camp. He moved as if he were sore. That man was the Rev erend Joseph Anderson, and his appear ance Of soreness was the first honest
 
 body had seen in recent years. He was taken back to Yuma and put into jail for the night. When Constable Hopkins went to see him the prisoner assailed him in the viiest language and told him that If he took him back to santa Bar bara the first thing he would do after he got out of his trouble would be to kill him.
 Hayford says that he did not think at first of escaping. but the idea was suggested to him by Hopkins careless ness and general neglect of duty. He said that he wanted a drink and told Hopkins so. Hopkins was asleep. Hay ford repeated his request several times, but could not awaken his custodian. Finally he said: Hop, If you don't get me a drink I'll leave this train" He left, but he did not describe his sensa- tions while he was getting off. He said that when his captors came up he was hunting somebody to whom he migh; surrender, he was in so great pain.

BIsBHE DIAMOND ROBBERS
Two of Them ara Jailed and Two
 More are Wanted

Mir. George II. Cook was seen yester- day in the hope of getting some late authentic information relative to the big diamond robbery at Bisbee. but he said he had heard nothing regarding it except a dispatch from MT. Craw ford stating that he had been robbed of everything and would stay there for a day or two in the hope of securing q clew to the robbers and their where abouts. Mir. Cook said he would go to Bisbee only for the fact that he could probably do no more than MT. Craw- ford and the officers are doing and just at this season Of the year he is needed here.
 But from other sources news comes from Bisbee that three men partici- pated in the robbery of whom two are in jail and that fourth man, whose Identity is not revealed. was aware of what was going and was to receive Q portion Of the booty.
 One of the men arrested is Q young fellow named Williams and the name of the other man. if known. is not given out. Williams made a confidante of Joe Beebe, who told his brother. Deputy Sheriff Beebe, and the arrest of Williams followed. Williams room was then searched and a number or watches, watch charms, stick pins, etc. were recovered ana ldentlfled by MT. Crawford. In the meantime, rail- road employe found few pieces of the missing jewelry in the snow under the water tank, though so far as known few, if any. of the diamonds have been recovered.
 Williams or his confidant pointed cut to the officers the second man un- der arrest and he was shadowed all one day in the hope that some clew would be secured to the whereabouts of the diamonds. but the hope was fruitless and the man was arrested be- fore he got too far away. It is be- lieved that he and the fourth party. who is known by description, are pro fessional crooks with long records be- hind them. All seem to be strangers in Bisbee except possibly the stool pig con whose name is not given.
 Mfr. Cook said yesterday that there is undoubtedly gang of smooth diamond robbers working along the border from Fl Paso west and that heretofore their work has stood the test. the officers being unable to locate them or bring them to justice. The capture of this gang is therefore especially desirable and it will be a credit to the Bisbee officers if they do the work set before them.
