Washineton's Legislature.

Olympia.--The legislature took but
one ballot on United States senator

resulted as follows: Levi Ankeny. 81;
Harold Preston, AZ; John l.. Wilson. 9;
George Turner. democrat. %; John B.
Allen, 6.
The eighth legislature is two weeks
old, and the net product of its labors
thus far is the passage of two bills.
One was the bill appropriating $4,000
for the expenses of the session, ami
the other was one appropriating money

penses. Figuring that the $4,000 will
be sufficient for the expenses of the
session, 1t has cost the state over $1S,
900 to pass these two bills. On the
$50, 900 basis the cost Of the session is
about 1888 a day, and the legislature
has been in session IA days, for Sun

boat with the representative of the
Associated Press on board, which was
sent from here to Fort San Carlos,
has returned to Maracaibo, bringing
the news that the German warships
had not shelled the fort since Thurs

Carlos the German cruiser Panther
was the only war vessel in sight. She
was about one mile from the bar.
The village Of San Carlos, consisting
of so houses, built of wood and straw
and inhabited by $50 fisher folk, was
totally burned as the result of having
been set on fire by the explosion OF
shells from the warships.
The garrison at San Carlos, number
ing 239 men, was still holding the fort
when the boat left the island. AS the
walls of the fort are below the earth
lines they are still in good condition.
The Panther attempted to pass
through the straits in front OF the fort.

from the danger in navigating those
waters.

result Of a tre started from a stove
1t the Tepple coal mine, about two
miles west Of here, two men are deau
aud IA others are imprisoned far be-
low the surface.
The fire started from q stove and
the flames spread SO rapidly that the
cable cage was rendered useless. The
oodies OF the three men who were
suffocated were brought to the sur.
lace, but the party Of rescuers were
prevented by the flames from reach
ing the imprisoned miners.
The news Of the fire spread rapidly
and relatives and friends of the men
who are imprisoned soon crowded
about the mine.
The officers Of the company are on
the ground and with the assistance
of many willing hands are doing
everything possible to save the men
who are below.
The scenes about the mine are
heart-rending. Weeping mothers.
wives and children crowd In and oul
among the sturdy noners, begging
for some word of comfort or hope.
but their faces picture their hope
lessness as they turn from one to the
other. as it Is impossible for anyone
to say what the chances are or what
condition the men are in who are
confined in the various drifts in the
body of the mine.
1t is impossible. also, to estimate
the number Of dead. as several may
die before the rescuers are able to
reach them.
