1t is not necessary to tell any ufish
stories" in reference to the above out
ing. The party spent three days at
the mouth of the Auxvasse, and had a
royal good time. There were three
meals day with plenty of fish at each
meal; and when the party returned to
Fulton they brought home more fresh
fish than they had eaten during the
entire outing. John Maddox, "Dick''
Smith and Mr.. Mckinney, three Of
the cleverest boys ever on earth, were
members Of the party, whose truth
and yeracity can be vouched for by
every citizen of Galloway county.
Everything of public interest was
discussed, except politics. The Full
ton push" when it goes fishing leaves
politics and business at home. BY the
way, some Of the most hospitable and
genial gentlemen on this earth live In
the Kingdom of Galloway"
No one enjoys fishing more than DR..
j. W. Smith, the efficient superinten-
dent Of the Hospital at Fulton, and
when he says that the outing referred
to was success no one will contradict
him.
Col. "Wag" Adcock, secretary of
the institution as well as of the board
was chaperone for the party and all
had to be good" as "Ad' never goes
to sleep while on duty. There is only
one person in the world who can get
the best of "Ad" and she weighs less
than one third what he does.

ONE HOUSE PARTIALLY SUBMERGED.

A heavy rain, amounting almost t6

precipitation amounting to II inches
in three quarters OF an hour. The
streets we're flooded and the section of
low ground south OF the Wabash
tracks just west Of the depot was in.
undated.
This water covered several acres and
the flood was caused by the inability
Of the culverts under the Wabash and
@. & A. tracks to carry of the water.
In some places it was Is feet deep and
the flood invaded the home of Mrs.
Michael Jordan, reaching depth of
two OF three feet in some of the rooms.
The furniture had been removed to
nearby houses Several other houses
in that vicinity and in Flat Rock were
threatened, as was the home of Lou
Shootman on West jackson street.
TRAIN SERVICE CONTRACTING.

modated passengers In box cars.
The Wabash is selling tickets west

taken as to time of trains If any are
run at all.
To reach Kansas City passengers
will have to go st. Louis and west on

COMPROMISE OFFERED.
Allies May See a Way to Accept
Latest Proposition,

Washington, Feb. 2.-Propositions
involving compromise of the conten-
ton of the allied powers for preferen-
tial treatment in the settlement of their
claims against Venezuela have been
submitted to the governments of Great
Britain, Germany and Italy by their
representatives att Washington, and
while no answers have yet been re-
ceived. tn, re is reason for the belief
that the allies will see a way to accept
the latest proposition. This compro-
mise has been suggested by one of the
representatives of the allies here, and
while it has not formally received the
endorsement of Minister Bowen, it is
felt that he will not enter serious objec-
tion to it's adoption, provided the Uni
ted States and the other claimant ma
tons outside the alliance can be con-
vinced that their own interests in Ven
ezuela will not be substantially injured
by yielding to plan with seems to
offer a solution to the present serious
hitch. The plan suggested, it is said,
provides that for a short period, per-
haps six months or year, Great Brit
ain, Germany and Italy, shall receive
exclusively 80 per cent of the customs
receipts of the ports of Puerto Cabello
and La Guayra, and that at the end of
that period, the exact length of which
is still open to decision, all the claim
ant nations be placed upon the same
footing, sharing equally in the divi-
sions of the customs receipts in ratio
based upon the amount OF each nations
claim.
The plan is regarded as compro-
mise which will enable the allies to
withdraw their ships from Venezuelan
waters without serious loss of prestige

WITHHELD NOTES
ANSWERS TO BOWEN'S PROPOS-
AIS KEPT BACK.
Ministers at Washington Knew Sc.
riOus Consequences Would Re-
suit. If They Were Presented.
Latest Advices Were Favorable
to Compromise Proposal.

Washington, Feb. lit developed
yesterday that the answers of the al
lied powers to Minister Bowen's latest
proposal arrived here Friday, but were
not Immediately presented. The an
swers were to the effect that the allies
could not consent that the United States
and other claimant nations receive the
same treatment as the blockading pow
ers and that they therefore rejected in
toto Mr.. Bowen's final proposition.
Knowing the consequences that were
to follow the presentation of this an
swer, the representatives took upon
themselves the responsibility of with
holding the notes of their governments
and of again cabling, urging retrac.
ton of their preferential demands. The
exchanges are still in progress between
the Italian, British and German en-
bassies, but there is no evidence up to
this time that the allies intend yield
ing. If they hold out, their represen-
tatives must present the joint refusal,
and the Washington negotiations will
come to standstill.
Baron Speck Won Sternberg, Ger
many's new minister has now arrived
and has taken charge of the Geman end
of the Venezuelan negotiations.

MOLAssEs AS HORSE EEED
Said to Make a Cheap and Nutri-
tiOus Food.

New York, Jan. 30.-Between 1000
and 5000 horses in Brooklyn are being
fed on molasses because it is believed
to be cheaper and better that oats. The
statement is made by veterinary sur
geon, who adds that horses in harness
from twelve to fourteen hours day do
not take time to masticate and properly
prepare dry oats and other fodder. The
result is that the animals receive more
nutritive value from their food.
Molasses, if properly mixed with hay,
bran and meal in proportion, is in di-
gestible condition and ready for asssim-
ilation the moment it enters the mouth.
Its nutritive value is therefore quite
apparent. 1t is not only better and
more nutritious than oats, but it is
much cheaper in the end.

Ex-United States Senator John B.
Allen Passes Away After
Very Brief Illness.

Seattle, Jan. 29.-Ex- United States
Senator John B. Allen, one of the most
prominent men in the state of Washing
ton, pioneer and eminent jurist, expired
at has home in this city last night after
an illness of less than one hour. His
death came as thunderbolt to his fam

had passed away. The cause of his
death was angina pectoris.
The first indications that Senator AL
len was ill were made manifest after
he had retired for the night. At IL
O'Clock he complained of an intense
pain in the region of his heart, and
physicians were Immediately summoned
to his bedside. Doctors Shannon and
Raymond responded. and though every
resource that lay in medical skill was
summoned to relieve him, the patient
grew steadily worse, and at IL AS
O'Clock he passed away. Mrs. Allen,
Miss Harriet Allen and younger son
were at the bedside when the end came.
Senator Allen was born in Crawfords-
vile, Ind, in 1916, and came west
while young man. He has always
since been prominent in Republican
politics in this state. In 1883 he was
elected territorial delegate to congress,
and upon the admission of Washington
as a state in 1889 was chosen as one
of the first United States senator's,
draw wing the short term. In 1898 he
was candidate for reelection, but the
legislature was deadlocked. He has
always been prominently mentioned
before subsequent legislatures as can
didate and has been receiving the sup
port of small number during the pres
ent session. He leaves a widow, two
daughters and two sons.

TAKING SOUNDINGS.
Germans Doing a Little Quiet Work
i'm West Indies


New York. Jan. 31.-It is reported
that several German army and naval
officers, passengers on the steamer
Moltke, which has arrived here on a
cruise through the West Indies, says
the Tribune's Havana correspondent,
made extensive soundings in Havana
harbor, near Santa Clara battery, gar
risoned by American troops.
1t is said they also took photographs
of the Notifications.
In view of the attitude of Germany
in Venezuela this is regarded as signifi-
cant.
The German officials aboard the Moltke
were sent on the cruise by the German
government and it is understood have
been taking soundings secretly all over
the West Indies.

Coal Takes a Drop.

New York, Feb. 2.-All over town
coal is being sold today for 81 so a ton.
This is not theoretical price, but an
thracite can actually be obtained at
that figure. 1t is expected that this
late will hold without much change
until summer, as it is generally conced-
ed to be legitimate price. The high
price of soft coal has had its back hope
lessly broken, and the bituminous pro-
duct is selling at anywhere from 81 to
81 so a ton.

AN KENY NAM ED
WALLA WALLA BANKER ELECT.
ED u. s. SENATOR.
Result Made Possible by the Sign
ing of a Caucus Call by Several
King County MISUNDERSTANDING
Nine Republicans Stand by the
Caucus Nominee on Final Ballot

Olympia, Jan. 29.-On the thirteenth
joint ballot taken by the eighth legis-
lature Levi Ankeny was today chosen
to represent the state of Washington in
the United States senate. He received
but 80 votes out of Ill Republican
members present; Preston received 8,
and Wilson 2 votes.
AS many people as could crowd into
the legislative hall gathered to witness
the final chapter in one of the most re
markabe political battles ever waged
in this state.
The action in caucus last night left
no doubt as to the result of the ballot,
but there was eager interest in the at
titude which the vanquishel forces
would assume. The meeting of the
Preston supporters who did not take
part in the caucus left them free to
vote as their consciences dictated.
OF the thirty seven men who declined
to be party to the caucus, twenty
three fell in line on the ballot, express
ing the belief that it was their duty as
republicans to bow to the will of the
majority, no matter how that majority
is obtained. Of the remaining four
teen, two were absent, and the others
boldly declared that the first outy of
Republicans was to keep the honor OF
the party unsullied by keeping faith
with the people, and they therefore
cast their ballots for others than Mr..
Ankeny.
Many speeches were made during the
progress of the roll call by members
who desired to explain their votes.
Some discriminating remarks were
made and feeling was at high tel sion,
but on the whole there was little i'll
feeling shown. The Preston men who
refused to make the vote unanimous
took the ground that, while they for
gave and would try to forget, they
could not surrender their principles.
The Ankeny men, except Senator
Rands, did not offer to make any rtply.
However, Senator Hamilton, when his
name was called, paused temporarily,
and as he stood in the aisle With
flushed face and heaving breast, lisen-
ing to the denupciations of the contuct
of the campaign, it was expected that
he would make answer, but when his
name was again called at the end OF
the list he simply responded with he
name of his candidate. He was IRE
pared to reply to Senator Warburten,
who was expected to make an onslaught
on the opposition, but the speech Of
the latter was very temperate.
Olympia, Jan. 29.-Levi Ankeny Of
Wslla Walla is the caucus nominee IF
hte eighth Legislature of Washington
for United States senator to succeed
Hon. George Turner. He was elected
at a caucus of rs Republicans held At
s 80 last evening in the temporary
meeting place of the house of represer-
tatives. His formal election will fol
low at the next joint session. In the
caucus he received So votes. Senate
Harold Preston of King county receivet
thirteen votes, Senator Wilson ant
Senator Allen 2. Senator Smith O
King county presided, and after Mr.
Ankeny had been elected Senator Van
De vanter, also of King, moved to make
the nomination unanimous, which was

THE STATE LEGISLATURE.
Tuesday.


Senate-An important measure was
introduced by Senator Moultray to en-
courage county agricultural associations
and fairs and providing that county
commissioners may levy tax not to
exceed one half mill to aid them. The
committee on agriculture recommended
passage of Sharp's bill for state vet
Urinary surgeon. On Crows motion
the vote on his bill for the payment by
litigants of certain jury fees was recon-
sidered and made special order for
Wednesday.
House-The Ehrlich contest came up
as a special order for few minutes and
was then laid ever by agreement. The
revenue and taxation committee and a
minority of the committee had repor ted
in favor of the indefinite postponemeDt
of Representative yesterdays bill pro-
viding that certificates of delinquency
should not be sold for six months. Eas-
terday made a hard fight for his bill
and by vote 81 to % overruled the
committees.
Wednesday.
Senate-Bills were passed as follows:
House bill No. l2-Relating 70 con-
ditional sales and leases of personal
property House bill No. 27-Relat-
ing to crimes and punishments, defin-
ing robbery and fixing the penalty.
Senate bill No. 46-Requiring payment
OF Jury fee of SIP in certain cases.
House-A large petition from Queets
river settlers was presented, asking that
the boundary line between Chehalis
and Jefferson counties be changed. The
present boundary is an imaginary line
running from the northwest corner of
Mason county to the mouth of Queets
river. In the proposed change the sixth
standard parallel is made the boundary
line. Settlers say the mouth of the riv-
er is subject to change, being now over
a mile from where it was a few years
ago, and some of them are at loss to
know in which county they belong.
Thursday.
Senate-The senate passed the follow
ing bills: Providing that pending ap-
peals to the supreme court in criminal
cases the time SO required shall not APP
ply on the sentence of the committed
person. Providing that the statute of
limitation shall not apply against the
state or municipalities, and declaring
an emergency. The law is necessary
in order to save to the state land upon
which persons have squatted and against
which the statute of limitations has
run.
The senate adopted the house resolu-
ton protesting against the further en-
fragment of forest reserves in this state.
House-The house passed the senate
concurrent resolution providing for an
adjournment until Monday out OF re-
spect for the memory of former Senator
John B. Allen.
Johnson's bill providing that any per-
son who shall maliciously injure or
destroy any personal property of anoth-
er shall be guilty of misdemeanor
and may be fined not to exceed 500 or
