There is no outlet, and the level is kept
down by evaporation only. which is very
rapid because of the intense heat the dry
atmosphere and the dry winds which are
constantly blowing down the gorges be-
tween the mountains. This evaporation
causes haze or mist to hang over the lake
at all times, and, when it Is more rapld
than usual. heavy clouds form and thunder
storms sometimes rage with great violence
In the pocket between the cliffs even in
the dry season. A flood Of rain often falls
upon the surface Of the sea when the sun
Is shining, and the atmosphere is as dry as
bone half mile from the shore The
mountains around the Dead sea are rarely
seen with distinctness because of this haze

Admiral SchIey in Chicago

Rear-Admiral w. S. Schley arrived i'll Chicago Saturday at 9:30 a.m., and was greeted with tumultuous ac- claim from thousands of people, who crowded the Baltimore and Ohio depot, and thronged nearby streets. His re- ception there was the continuation of the demonstrations in his honor which occurred all along the route from Washington.
 Admiral Schley during the day thrice declared that he had no intention of entering politics. His remarks were calculated to set at rest for all time the political ambitions which some of his admirers have entertained for him. He said that no office, however high, would tempt him to jeopardize the love which the people of this country have expressed for him.
 At the Hamilton Club he said "My enc ambition has been to serve you faithfully, loyally, devotedly, and if I have succeeded in doing that, the meas ure of my ambition is full and my only other ambition is that I may retain for the rest of my years that may be vouchsafed me, your love, your esteem and your respect. I would not care to jeopardize that by seeking or accepting any office where I should be condemned to follow always, rather than to remain in the one profession tat I have chosen where there are occasionally opportunities to lead"

 The steamer Tees has arrived at Vancouver from the north with news of the arrest of two Indians charged with the recent murder of Kamomura, Japanese in connection with the tribal war at Metlakata between In- dians of rival villages. From the state ment of the prisoners it appears that they had blamed the Japanese, or a man living with him, for practicing sorcery, to which they ascribed the death of several of their tribe. By way of revenge they killed Kamamura, in the belief that his death would save the rest of the tribe from the conse- Quences of Kamamura's witchcraft

Defying Federal Law

The annual report of the Interstate Commerce Commission renews the declaration made in previous reports that in it's present condition the act to regulate commerce cannot be en- forced As to remedial legislation the commission renews the statement that it 'has little to suggest and nothing new to propose"
 The feature of the report is the all most sensational statement of the rela tons existing between the railroads and a comparatively few heavy ship pers. Referring to the commissions re- cent investigations into the movement Of packing-house products and of grain and grain products, the report says:
 ''The facts therein developed are of such a character that no thoughtful person can contemplate them with in- difference. That the leading traffic off cials of many of the principal railway lines, men occupying high positions and charged with the most important duties, should deliberately violate the statute law of the land and in some cases agree with each other to do so; that it should be thought by them necessary to destroy vouchers and to sc manipulate bookkeeping as to de- stroy evidence of the transactions; that hundreds of thousands of dollars should be paid for unlawful rebates to q few great packing that the business of railroad transportation should to such an extent be conducted in open disregard of law, must be sur prising and offensive to all right minded persons.
 Equally startling, at least, is the fact that the owners of these packing houses, men whose names are known throughout the commercial world, should seemingly be eager to augment their gains with the enormous amounts of these rebates, which they receive in plain defiance of the Federal law

IMPORTANT HAWAIIAN NEWS
Cleaning Out of Old Regime and New
 Order of Things Promised

The Washington Post says: "Secre- tsry Hitchcock has forwarded letter to Sanford B. Dole, Governor of Ha- waii, intimating that the Governors resignation is desired. Gov. Doles term of four years will not expire until May, 1904 but his continued poor health has given rise to many rumors that he was about to resign"
 The President is understood to have made up his mind to make a clean sweep in Hawaiian administrative af- fairs, by appointing new executive officers all around.
 He is understood to have decided to appoint Sam Parker, who married Mrs. Campbell in San Francisco few weeks ago, as Governor to succeed Sanford B. Dole and to appoint George R. Car ter as Secretary to the Territory These changes are booked to take place within the next two months.
 Carter and Parker were both candi- dates for appointment as governor, but the President deprecated a fight for appointment, and intimated that there must be an understanding be- fore the case was brought to the White House. So Garter has withdrawn as a candidate for Governor, and will content himself with being Secretary of the Territory. The President will make these two appointments only with the understanding that upon their being made faction fights among the Republicans in the Territory shall cease, and that the entire party there shall support not only the national ad ministration, but their own Territorial administration.

W. G. Nevin Dies Suddenly

w. G. Nevin is dead. That is the sad intelligence which the Sabbath brought to hundreds of persons in Los Angeles, who knew and esteemed the general manager of the Santa Fe. Mr. Nevin died suddenly and unexpectedly about S:15 o'clock Sunday morning after an interval of inconsistencies lasting some thirty minutes.
 The immediate cause of his sudden taking off is not known, though it is thought to have been paralysis of the cardiac nerves. MT. Nevin retired at an early hour Saturday evening in the best of spirits. Sunday morning he awoke about 7:3O o'clock and was ap- parently just about to rise, when, with a scarcely audible articulation, he turned over on his side, apparently dead. Mrs. Nevin, who was in the room at the time, rushed to his side and found him still breathing, but in comatose state. She hastily sum- moned her son, William G. Nevin, Jr., and the two endeavored to resuscitate the stricken man, but in vain. Be- fore the arrival of Dr. N. H. Norman, who was summoned by telephone, MT. Nevin died without regaining con- sciousness.

Last Weeks Storm

From all along the Coast come re- ports of more or less serious damage to shipping interests by the storm of last week.
 The damages on the water front at Seattle aggregate at least 99,O00 Ac- cidents and disasters were numerous and of varying character, including everything from the smashing of a small rowboat to the total loss of a large steamer, the E. D. Smith.
 There were only few docks that escaped injury entirely.
 On the wharf at Old Tacoma stands a small grovery store, owned by man named Johnson. The proprietor and two customers were in the store when the dock was washed from it's piling and floated away, taking the building with it. For several hours the gro- ceryman and his customers were at the mercy of the waves, but the dock did not overturn, and finally was picked up by tug and safely moored.

 The route of the proposed new line west of Salt Lake will be from Salt Lake across the desert through Eureka, New, to Walker Pass, thence beyond to the Kern River up the Tulare Val ley to San Francisco.

Captive Missionaries

The artist-correspondent of the Lon don Graphic, who has been following the case of Miss Stone, the captive American missionary, telegraphs from Djoumai Bala, Salonika, that the cap tives are now in Bulgaria, eight hours distant rom the frontier.
 The correspondent says that M. Gar guilo, the dragoman of the American legation at Constantinople, who is ne- gotiating Miss Stones release, is convinced that, owing to the strictness of the Turkish cordon, nobody can clandestinely cross the frontier. He has therefore begged the American le- gation at Constantinople to ask the Porte to instruct Ibrahim Pasha to re- lax his vigilance so as to induce the hrigands to bring the captives over the frontier
 The correspondent concludes with saying it is probable that Miss Stone and Nine. Tsilka will be free within few days.
