THE DRIFT OF POLITICS.

1t is an old story that one must go away
from home to learn the home news, and
so 1t seems that one must look to news
papers outside Indiana to learn the true
inwardness of Indiana politics. BY way of
illustration in yesterdays issue of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer appeared dispatch under
an Indianapolis date line which conveys in
formation concerning Indiana political af-
fairs that is nothing short of startling, If
true. The big feature of the story, although
for some incomprehensible reason it is re-
served for the concluding paragraph, is
the statement that movement is under
way in Indiana to make Senator Fairbanks
chairman of the Republican national COM
mittee for the purpose of securing the
vice presidential nomination for Governor
Durbin and that the scheme will be laid
before President Roosevelt for approval
But the whole story is worthy of reproduce
ton as marvel in pipe dreaming" and
here ii IS:
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 24-The
statement of Albert w. Wishard to-day
that he is for Henry s. New, of this city,
for Republican national committeeman from
this State is regarded confirmation
OF story that he has cut loose from the
Fairbanks machine. Wishard was formerly
United States attorney for Indiana, but he
was induced to resign so that Senator
Fairbanks could reward Joseph b. Healing,
who managed his second campaign.
'Wishard was appointed Solicitor of the
Internal Revenue Department in Washing
ton through Senator Farbanks's influence
but IL has been intimated that there was
q serious enlargement between Wishard
and Fairbanks and that the former had
gone over to Beveridge. The party lead
ers were unwilling to believe this until to-
day. when Wishard declared for the Bev-
eridge candidate for national committee
man.
"Wishard was the original Fairbanks man
in this State and ii was largely due to his
skill in forming combinations that Fair
banks was elected to his first term
1.-THE race between New and Charles L
Henry for committeeman promises to di-
vide the party leaders SO that IL will not be
difficult TO tell whether or not they are
Fairbanks or Beverage men. The race
will probably determine which senator is to
control the party in this State next year.
mo less interesting than Wishard's an
nouncement Is the story current tonight
that the Fairbanks men are planning to
make the senator chairman of the national
committee. If they succeed their plan Is

Roosevelt for approval.

EIGHTEEN PEOPLE DROWNED
STEAMER SOUTH PORTLAND
GOES DOWN.
Thirty-slx People on "Reminiscences
Had Left Portland for San Francisco
One of the Boats, Loaded With
People, capsizes and Floats Away
Empty.

Marshfield, Ore. Oct. 22.-The
steamer South Portland, which sailed
from Portland. Ore, last Sunday, load
ed with wheat for San Francisco,
struck on Blanco reef last evening at
O'Clock during fog. The vessel car
ried crew of % and IA passengers.
The South Portland struck bow on,
going at speed Of about seven knots.
Soon after striking she began to set
tie astern and In minute or two slid
off the reef and began to sink. Cap
tain Mcintyre, seeing that there was
no hope of saving the ship, ordered
the boats lowered. One of the boats
that got away from the ships side
loaded with part of the crew and some
of the passengers was capsized as soon
as she cleared the ships side and
when last seen was floating away in
the fog without living soul aboard.
The captains boat with about IS
aboard succeeded in clearing, but was
also capsized and only seven were
able to get back to the boat. Those
consisted of Captain James Mcintyre,
John Reimer, Emanuel Pasomnis, w.
l.. Wilson, l.. Baker, Guy Bent and AL
Bailey. They reached Port Oxford last
night.
A life raft ON which we're twelve
people succeeded in reaching the shore
this morning.
The survivors suffered much from
exposure and Captain Mcintyre is con.
fined to his room.

Federal Officers Mistake.

San Francisco, Oct. 19.-Through a
blunder of a federal law officer, two
men under sentence of Imprisonment
were released by the court of appeals.
The prisoners are Charles Mackey and
j. Archie Mcleod. They were con-
victed of having, on July 26, 1902, fired
with a revolver and shotgun upon G.
t. Stranahan, superintendent of the
Nez Perez reservation in Idaho while
Stranahan was making a search for
spirituous liquors which had been I'M
lawfully introduced into the reserva-
ton. The prisoners were prosecuted
under section 6 of "An act to further
prevent smuggling and for other pur-
poses."
Judge Gilbert, in rendering the opin-
ion of the court of appeals, said:
at is as clear as words can make
II that the act refers only to offenses
committed against officers of the Gus
I'M. their deputies and persons as
sisting them in the execution of their
duties, and that it has no application
to an act done in resistance of an In
dian agent in making searches or seiz-
ures upon an Indian reservation"

MONTANA GOLD EXCITEMENT.
Fabulous Finds Made Near Hamilton
Owl Creek District.

Butte, Mont, Oct. 22.-Almost fabu-
lous finds of gold ore have been made
on Owl creek, according to reports
received in Butte from Hamilton, Mont.
The greatest excitement prevails over
the discoveries, which are said to
eclipse the Klondike finds and a STAN
pede is on. Miles Romney, mayor of
Hamilton, and one of the well known
editors of the state, has just returned
from the scene of the gold discovery
and his account sounds like a fairy
tale.
Ten massive lodges uncovered on
the side of the mountain blaze in in
Vulnerable spots, the CLINT of shining
gold dazzling the eye. A towering
cliff overhangs the leads and far be-
low the gulch is choked up with boul-
ders sloughed from the heights. These
chunks of ore, Romney declares, range
in size from hazel nuts to chunks as
large as four story blocks. Enough
ore is in sight, he says, lying on the
ground to run thousand stamps a
hundred years.

DowlE DRAWS BIG CROWDS.
Hundreds of New Workers Attend
Meetinus,

New York, Oct 19.-Five thousand
persons were turned away from Madi-
son Square garden this afternoon after
all the seats in the building had been
filed with a great crowd curious to
see John Alexander Dowie on his first
appearance before a New York audi
ence. Fully $4,000 persons were in
the garden at 2:30 o'clock, when the
services began with the professional
hymn, which the Zion white robed
choir, to the number of about 600, and
the capped and gowned ordained Of
ficers of the Christian Catholic church
in Zion took part. The procession as
cended to the platform, where the
choir took position behind the pulpit
and the officers occupied the places
at the sides. When those on the plat
form had taken their places, Dowie
assembled the platform, accompanied
by overseers Daniel Bryant, j. G. Elk
cell, A. j. Gladstone Dowie, J. q.
Spigner, G. e. Mason and w. Ham
mond Piper, who took their places be-
hind the pulpit in the order in which
they had assembled the rostrum. DR..
Dowie wore the usual white robe, with
a black robe above it. The service of
prayer opened with the invocation by
DR.. Dowie, followed by the singing Of
a hymn, during which the crowd con-
tinued to pour into the garden.
This was followed by the recital Of
the creed and the commandments and
the reading of scripture, during which
hundreds of persons started to leave
the hall, causing much confusion. The
exodus continued, in spite of repeated
orders to close the doors, until nearly
a third of the audience had departed,
many Of the vacant seats being filled
with the waiting crowd outside. After
order had been somewhat restored, DR..
Dowie said:
IF this is New York, and this is a
typical New York congregation, am
in the face Of new experience. /
think that some of the people that
came thought this was Buffalo Bill
show. | wonder if the congregations
of the churches here enter and leave
as they please. | reckon we have
learned something and will be pre-
pared hereafter. There will be no
more going out of the front door. If
any have remained outside, let them
in. 1t seems a shame they have not
the seats the Buffalo Bill persons have
left" No one entered.
well, let us keep the quiet audi
ence we have" said the preacher.
DR.. Dowie took his text from the
third chapter of the Book of Revela-
tions, the Goth verse.
Behold, / stand at the door and
knock. II any man hear my voice
and open the door, I will come into
him and will sup with him and he
with me-"
Then, walking back and forth in
front of his pulpit, he delivered his
sermon.

BOLD HoLDUP IN OGDEN.
Saloon Robbed While Street in Front
Is Well Populated.

Ogden, Utah, Oct 2o.AOne of the
boldest holdups in the history of this
city occurred, when three masked
men entered the Turf Exchange sa-
loon and compelled the bartender and
the dozen occupants Of the place to
line up with their faces to the wall.
One Of the robbers took over 800
from the cash register, another rifled
the pockets Of the victims, while the
third stood guard.
M. D. Lessinger, well known at
torney, who was in the place at the
time, insisted on turning his head
from the wall and was beaten in a
brutal manner, receiving severe
wounds. After taking all the money
in sight the robbers escaped The
exact amount obtained by them can
not be ascertained. At the time of the
holdup the street in front of the saloon
was crowded with people,
