Mr.. LEVI ANKENY, the republican
millionaire, banker and farmer, of Walla
Walla, who has just been elected by the
Washington legislature for United States
Senator to succeed Mr.. Turner, demo-
crat, will probably be pointed out as
the most awkward man in the next Sen
ate, and also as the man who was sent
to the Senate by his wife. Mrs. Ankeny
is daughter of former Senator Nesmith,
and it was her campaign that elected
Mr.. Ankeny. Senator-elect Ankney is
the richest man in his State, but is so
difident that it is unlikely that ne will
ever make motion, even in committee.
If he should keep his mouth shut,
however, he would show more sense than
some of his senatorial colleagues.

NOTWITHSTANDING all the optimistic
talk of the past few days, there is a
manifest restlessness in this country con-
corning the Venezuelan trouble and the
part Germany is playing on this side Of
the Atlantic. The issues involved by the
occupation of Venezuelan ports by the
Germans are by no means settled. In
fact the chasm seems to have widened
recently. France is showing disposi-
ton to enter into a coalition for the pur-
pose of thwarting the purpose of the
allies who would urge certain nations as
preferred creditors. The report that
work is being hurried at navy yards in
this country, notwithstanding the Navy
Department denies there is any signiti-
canoe in it, is to many ominous.

a bloody Yaqui uprising in which several
Americans were killed. J. ]. McAllis-
ter, Frank Pendleton, Sam Marshall,
Ed. Schultz and Ed. Cartiil, were among
the American victims. Several hundred
Yaqui Indian attacked the town of San
Marcial and waged fierce battle for two
or three hours. The Yaquis finally were
driven back with heavy loss but the de-
tenders suffered almost as seriously. The
Americans named were only small per-
centage of the slain. Several other
Americans lost their lives in the valiant
defense. The Americans led the forces
which were marshalled rapidly in the
town. The attack was without warning,
and would have resulted in the occupa-
ton by the Indians, but for the leader
ship of the Americans.

HICKSs FEBRUARY FORECAST.

The month will open warm and
threatening. Disturbances will con-
tinue until about the 4th, bringing
heavy rains, turning to snow over much
of the country. A storm period to
watch is from about Sth to 18th. The
days of greatest violence will be on and
touching the 10th and 18th. Those who
do not prepare for hard, winter storms
and for great cold wave and blizzard
between the 9th and 10th, will, we fear,
pay costly penalty. The final cul-
mination of these storms may not come
before the 18th and 18th. The storm
period extending from the 10Th to the
23rd is covered by many disturbances,
the barometer falling unusually low,
and heavy storms of rain, wind and
thunder will speedily be followed by
change to sleet and snow. The last
three days of the month will bring a re-
turn of general storm conditions wind
ing up on the 28th with electrical dis
turbances and heavy rains in many
parts.

Fire in New York Assay once

New York, Jan. 3l-Combustion of
acid gases in the laboratory of the
United States assay Office on Wall
street caused fire shortly after noon,
today. which created all kinds OF ex-
element. Three alarms were turned in
as soon as it was known that Uncle Sam
had $40, 900, 900 in gold and silver coin
in the building, though at no time was
the blaze beyond control. The flames
were finally extinguished with only
small damage. Wall street had lots Of
fun while the fire lasted. There was
cry of "fire" coming from one
of the employees in the laboratory,
and instantly the mint service
men dropped their work and began to
pile great heaps of gold and silver bars
on trucks and wheel it into the big steel
safe. One man hauled over one million
dollars in gold into the safe. The doors
we're quickly locked and efforts were then
made to fight the fire. Three alarms
were sent in and soon the floors of the
Office were flooded with water. Brokers
gathered in crowds around the building,
and awaited developments. The fire
was confined to the laboratory and it wai
estimated two thousand dollars will cover
the loss. The crowd then departed aftel
