PORTLAND AND JEANNE
Feared That the Two Steamers
Have Been Lost in the
Far North.

Seattle, June 26.-When the steam
ship Ohio left Nome on June l6 the
steamship Portland had been lost sight
of for 26 days, and the steamship jean
lie about the same length of time.
The Portland was last reported by
the Nome City when the latter sighted
her in the ice pack off Cape Prince OF
Wales. The Jeanne was seen about the
same time by the steamer Elk near Nu-
nivak Island.
The L. s. $. Thetis had been out over
Il week when the Ohio sailed in search
of the two craft. and the steamer Dora
was dispatched from Nome to assist in
the search two days before the Ohio
sailed from that harbor. There is some
fear at Nome that the Jeanne may be
lost.
When the steamship John S. Kimball
was passing Nunivak Island, EN- route
north, she was stopped by signals from
Indians, who had come from the island
in canoe. Upon reaching the steamer
they told excitedly about a large steam
ship sinking in sight of the island.
The time of the accident they definitely
place nine days before, by counting off
the days on their fingers. Their ignor-
ance of the English language handicap
ped them in making their statement,
but the explanation is said to have been
concerning the loss of the steamer
with all on board. In fact they made
it out that the unlucky craft had gone
down almost without minutes warm
ing.
Regarding the Portland, the steam
ship Dora returned to Nome Just before
the Ohio departed and reported that
she had been unable to get farther
north than the Cape Prince of Wales,
on account of the ice. Nothing was seen
of either the Thetis or the Portland.

PHILIPPINE BILL
After Being Debated Night and
Day for Week It Passes
the House.

Washington, June Pat the end
of nine-hour session, and of debate
lasting night and day for a week, the
house passed the Philippine civil govern
ment bill practicallyas it came from the
committee. 1t was a party vote-l4l
to 81, with the exception of Mr.. Me
Call, of Massachusetts. who voted with
the Democrats. The minority substitute
for the establishment of temporary
government in the islands and their
permanent independence as soon as Il
stable government could be established,
was defeated by a vote of IS to 1876.
The house substitute provides for
complete system of civil government,
with the legislature, to consist of two
houses, one of which shall be . popular
assembly, elected by the Filipino peo-
pie. The senate bill contained no such
provision. The legislature is to be
chosen after the existing instruction
in the Philippines shall have ceased
and complete peace shall have been es-
tablished therein, and the fact certified
to the president by the Philippine com
mission"
The house substitute also amplifies
the "bill of rights" enumerated in the
senate measure, and adds to the number
of issues which can be appealed to the
supreme court of the United States.
The house measure also defines with
greater detail than the senate the rights
of citizenship of those residing in the
islands, and provides that all residents
shall receive the same protection from
the United States in respect to their re-
iation with foreign governments as is
accorded to citizens of the United
States.
One of the most important differences
between the senate and house bills is
that relating to coinage. The senate
provides silver standard somewhat in
eXtention and perfection of that now in
existence. The house measure provides
gold standard system, with the gold
dollar of the United States as the stan
dard unit of value for the islands
Provision also is made for system of
paper currency, banks and for com
plete financial system, the details being
different from those in the senate
measure, although following in the
same line.
Both bills provide for acquiring the
friar lands and for the issue of bonds
sufficient to pay for the lands, the SEN
ate provision making the interest rate
4 p per cent. Both measures contain
extended provisions relative to timber
lands, harbor and internal improve
ments, and for two delegate commits
sioners, chosen by the Filipino people.
to represent them in Washington, and
to have the privilege of the floor OF the
house.

MINE FLOODED.
Issaquah Miners Have Marrow Els.
cape From Death.

Issaquah, June 25.-Water and quick
sand broke into the east gangway which
the Issaquah Coal Company has been
driving under the town to get to the
coal on the east side.
Some time since the coal seam which
they had been following was lost. and
solid rock was encountered. Holes
were drilled into this face at different
angles to see if the coal could be found
again.
Water came through these small
openings, but not with very great force
or volume, but the indications were
such that it was decided to stop work
and give up the attempt to go further,
and the shift was instructed to
strengthen safety door that had been
constructed about 200 feet from the
face. The men heard the water coming
and hastily closed the door and stood
behind it for awhile. When they saw
that it was not holding the water and
sand in check they abandoned the door
and ran for their lives. Before they
could get out the water and sand was up
to their knees.
What few men there were in the
mine at that time were warned, and
all got out in safety.
Although it will be somewhat diff
cult and expensive job, the mine can be
cleaned out and operated again. At
present there are enough breasts access
ible to supply the demand until the old
ones can again be reached.
There was quite subsistence in one
part of the town. and for some time it
was thought that several houses would
go down, but they were only thrown
little out of plumb. The inmates were
aroused by the settling and cracking of
the houses, and hastily vacated. The
north end of hill dropped several feet.
and the houses opposite were more or
less tilted.

WAKING UP.
Canadians Beginning to Realize
Their COuntry's Needs.

Ottawa, Ont, June 27.-Canada is
gradually awakening to the true signiti-
canoe involved in the present phenom-
email invasion of the Canadian Northwest
by American farmers and business men.
This great movement presages the
dawn of vast trade, and important
changes are about to take place in the
industrial life of the Dominion. At the
present stage of this peaceable foreign
invasion some Canadian manufacturers
foresee the coming events that are cast
ing their shadows before, but the great
majority of this class is as yet indiffer-
ent. or slow to perceive that a period of
greater prosperity in business life than
has yet visited this country, is rapidly
approaching.
The reason of the coming changes is
that the actual deyeloment of the Cana
dian West has. at last, begun in earn
est, and on truly gigantic scale. So
far Canadians have been lacking in the
knowledge and development Of the vast
resources OF their co,intry, but their
- american cousins have soon grasped
the situation and are now coming in by
thousands, with capital and a superior
spirit of enterprise to exploit the rich
possibilities which await them.

ARBITRARY LAW
AUSTRALIA. IMPOSES STRINGENT
MEASURE ON SHIPPING.
Taxes All Stores Brought Into Her
Ports on Foreign Vessels, and
Owners Thereof are Highly In.
dignant at What They Consider
Unjust Discrimination.

Seattle, June 25.-The owners of the
big feet of sailing vessels which ply be-
tween Puget Sound and the Australian
ports are raising a decided "howl' over
the laws passed by the federal colonies,
which impose Il customs duty on every
ounce of stores used by a foreign ship
in those waters. The tax is not Il nom
inal one, but all that the traffic will
bear and is even arbitrary. 4 vessel
must either buy all OF her supplies
where she is lying or 60 hungry, unless
she pays tribute. Not only foodstuffs
are taxed but everything from the
needle in Il sailors kit to slopchest and
log book.
The barkentine Jane l.. Stanford
reached Melbourne on April 80 last and
at once the customs people sealed up
everything aboard of her. Her skipper
raised an objection, when he saw every
thing eatable in sight being put out of
his way, and then he was informed
that he would have to pay duty and
should he thereafter desire to release
any part of his stores he must make an
plcation to the customs service and
upon payment OF the proper tax they
would be released
The barkentine Robert Sudden had
to pay duty on stores used at sea going
between Melbourne and Newcastle, only
Il sufficient quantity being released from
the seal that was estimated would do for
the run. She had to pay IA tax even on
paint owned by and used on her. Mr..
l.. J. Smith, owner of the vessel said :
'There is not country in the world,
that has ever attempted anything of the
kind in modern times. 1t is out
rageous, and the only motive that can
assign for such legislation is the one
suggesting that it is intended to compel
the paronage of Australian stuffs. No
vessel goes there, | don't care to whom
she belongs, but what leaves hundreds
of dollars in the course of purchasing
fresh supplies and one thing and
another. | cannot understand such an
unwise policy, and l am at loss to
suggest any remedy but resembling of
the laws. l would not thinR of retalia-
tory measures, for two wrongs do not
make a right. However, this is the
most unjust burden on shipping and
should be exposed to the end that it
may be understood and that Australia
may know what the world thinks of her
act;op >,

SETTLE STRIKES.
Tabor Dommittce of the House Con
sidcring Measures.

Washington. D. c., June oS.-The
labor committee of the house has con-
sidered the bill creating national board
of arbitration to deal with strikes,
which was introduced by Mr.. McDer-
mott of New Jersey, because of the con-
tinuance of the coal strike. Chairman
Gardner called attention to the prostrat-
ing influence of a long continued strike
which, he said, might be more serious
than a national panic.
1t was the general view of the COM
mittee that legally effective compul-
sorry arbitration measure would be i'm
possipble, but that one which secured
investigation and publicity of the merits
of a controversy would exert u strong
moral influence backed by the national
government, in adjusting strikes.
Several amendments perfecting the
bill were made and the committee will
meet again to act further.
