GENTLEMEN: In anticipating the pres.
ent and future needs Of the City OF Cor
Wallis, and of it's citizens, for water sup
ply for fire protection, and domestic use,
the Corvallis Water Company has been
at considerable pains to ascertain the
amonnt of extension and the cost of furn-
isling an abundant supply of pure
water.
This company is now in position to
furnish water for all purposes
more quickly and economically to the city
and to private consumers than at any
time in the past. The reason why We
have not heretofore extended our pipe
lines to reach localities not at present
served by the company, is that our fran
chise has not as yet been extended, nor
our contract with the city renewed. No
one would hardly be justified in Sc large
an additional Investment without some
guarantee by way of franchise that this
and former investments would not be
jeopardized by failure TO obtain some rea-
sonable franchise to secure the invest
ment.
In order to ascertain what reciprocal
action this city would desire of this COM
pauy, or a successor to it, in considsra-
ton for granting it new franchise and
contract for supplying the city with nec-
essary water tor fire protection and sewer
cleansing, We will make the following
proposition:
If the city will grant us a new fran
chise for thirty or forty years time, and
contract to pay this company, or its sue
cessor, the sum of $3 per hydrant per
mouth, and $3 per month for each cis-
tern, and a reasonable rate for sewer
cleansing: or, if preferred by the city,
some reasonable price per month, or per
year, for supplying all water desired
by the city for fire and sewer purposes,

Fort-de-France, Martinique, May %.
The flight of the panic stricken in

rending scenes are witnessed among
the crowds which throng the water

eminent. The steamships Versailles

American ports. Both these vessels
We're crowded with persons up to what
their captains considered the limit of
safety. The departure of these steam
ships wa: attended by another demon
stration of the frantic eagerness of the
people to get away. Many persons who
had tried to secure passage on the YES
sells were seen standing on the wharvas
and weeping because they had bean
unable to sail. The people of the poore.
classes are going to the southernmost
points of the island, as far as possible
from the volcano. The natives are
very superstitious and unreasoning in
their fear of another eruption.

CONGRESS-.
Senator Dubois Discusses the PHIL
lppine Question.

1ppine Question.
Washington, May "a. = A temperate
and carefully prepared speech was
delivered in the senate yesterday On
the Philippine bill by Mr.. Dubois of
Idaho. He confined himself almost en-
ti,ely to discussion of the commercial
and ind, strial aspects of the Philippine
question, his purpose being to show
that it would be a disadvantage to the
PEOPLE of this country to retain the
islands. Whatever of profit there might
be in them. he said, would accrue to
few capitalists who. by their develop
ment of the resources OF the archipela-
go through cheap labor, would come
into competition with the agriculture
lists and manufacturers of the United
States in the markets Of the world.
An earnest and forcible reply to Mr..
Hutois was made by Mr.. Reveridge of
Indiana, who contended that the de-
velopment of China's resources would
be of advantage in trade and commerce
TO the United States. as the industrial
development of other nations had been.
In the House.
The house devoted the day to private
pension bills and to few other minor
measures. In all los private pension
bills were passed. The house ad-
journed until Monday il. order to par

Annapolis May %. - The luncheon
given yesterday on beard the French

memorable incidents of the visit of the
distinguished French soldiers and sail
ors to this country, who are here to
join in the celebration of the unwilling
of the monument to the memory of
Gen Rochambeau. which takes place in
Washington to-day. AS soon as the
president came aboard the Gaulois, ac'
companied by his daughter and Secre-
taries Root and Moody, he was met by
Ambassador Cambon, Gen. Brugere
and Admiral Fourier and escorted to
the cabin Of the officers. Here a gen.
eral handshaking. congratulations and
preliminary refreshments ensued. Then
followed the luncheon rendered to
President Roosevelt by the French
ambassador. After the dehcacies of 4
choice French menu had been dis
cussed Ambassador Cambon arose. and
in the name of President Louhet of the
French republic, bade a Hearty well
come to all present He was especially,
complimentary in his illusions to
President Roosevelt. In proposing the
health of President Roosevelt Am bas-
sador Cambon said that in extending
the invitation to the chief magistrate
of the United States he wished to en-
phasiZe the fact that he was acting as
the direct and personal representative
81 President Loubet of the French re-
public. President Roosevelt replied in
his happiest vein, though speaking with
unusual elaboration, as though he
measured every word he uttered. He
concluded by offering toast to Press-
dent Loubet.

ESCAPE.
MINER RESPONSIBLE
LIGHTS HIS PIPE CONTRARY TO
RULES AND EXPLOSION
FOLLOWS.

Fernie, 3. c., May %. - Because a
car eless miner lighted his pipe contrary
to the rules of the mine. probably 160
intombed men are dead in the Crows
Nest coal mine near here.
At $50 Thursday night a terrible ex-
plosion occurred. There We're in the
mine 200 men and only S5 escaped.
These say that the explosion was due
to coal camp ignited by match held
by miner in the act of lighting his
pipe in defiance of regulations.
The bodies of nine of the victims
have been recovered. Coal damp is
making the work of rescue exceedingly
dangerous, number Of the workers
being Frustrated. The town has about
5000 population and hardly household
las not heartrending sorrow. Not
withstanding this the women beg pit
eously that those remaining shall not
go down into the shaft, to probably
Die of Suffocation.
Scenes of infinite pathos are seen
about the mine and village. The people
are in frenzy of bereavement. The
explosion occurred in shaft No. and
was followed instantly by an equally
tremendous explosion in shaft No. 5,
where the majority of the men We're at
work a short tunnel connects the
workings.
To add to the horror of the situation
another explosion is expected at any
moment. Should it come there will be
no hope that those entombed by the
first will be rescued, While the rescuers
themselves are in great danger. There
is also danger of a life destroying fire
The work of rescue is being hurried
and assistance from all available
sources is being secured.
