SHAW REACHES
NORTHERN CITY

Given a Hearty Reception
on His Arrival at Tacoma
OLD FRIENDS AT DEPOT
Official Rests During Day

Address to Church People

TACOMA, Wash, Aug. 2S.-Leslie
NJ. Shaw, Secretary of the Treasury,
arrived in Tacoma to-day on his West
ern trip, under/the direction of the
National Republican Committee. He
was met at the depot by a large dele
cation of former residents or Iowa,
most of whom were his personal
friends. In the delegation were two
men who were in college at Mount
Vernon, Iowa, at the time Shaw was
a student there and who were present
when he graduated in 1877. Others
had known him intimately during the
early part of his present career
The reception at the depot, although
Undemonstrative because the day was
Sunday, was like a reunion of Iowa
people. The secretary surprised many
by remembering all his old friends
and by being able TO call them by
their first names.
He was driven TO the home of Presi-
dent f. 3. Gault of Whitworth Col
lege, where ne took dinner and re-
manned until evening. when he de-
liVered a lecture at the First Presby-
terrain Church TO the Young Mems
Christian Association and other young
people. The address made no refer
ence to politics and was the first of its
kind TO be delivered since leaving
Washington. Tonight the Secretary
is the guest of Senator A. CT. Foster.
Tomorrow morning he will take a
cruise on Puget Sound on the Unitec
States revenue cutter Grant and will
visit Seattle and the navy yard az
Bremerton

TRAFFIC AT STANDSTILL.
Overland Trains Neither Arriving Nor
Departing From Los Angeles.

LOS ANGELES. Aug. 2S-For the
first time since there have been two
railroads built into Los Angeles from
the East there were no overland trains
in or out of the city to-day. Traffic
on the Southern Pacific is at a stand
still. owing to the washing out of the
track on the desert yesterday between
Beaumont and FL Casco. Three miles
Of track was carried out and traffic
will not be resumed before tomorrow
morning.
The effect OF the water at the scene
of the cloudburst yesterday was terri
fic. Eighty-pound steel rails were
twisted and broken like wooden things
and carried considerable distance from
their original resting places. Consid-
cradle stock was drowned, country
bridges were carried away and roads
were washed out. The Southern Pa
cific overland trains. both east and
west bound, are tied up. The Santa Fe
has not yet brought any of the delayed
trains into this city over its regular
route, although the damage to the
track at various places in Arizona has
been temporarily repaired.
A washout at Orc Grande last night
gave that road another spell of trouble
been overcome. however, and ii is ex-
pected trains will begin to arrive over
the Santa Fe main line from the East
tomorrow without further Interrupt
ton.

dumped into the sluice box, when he
was struck on the back Of the head.
He claimed TO have neither seen nor
heard any one. An hour later he was
found bound and gagged. There are
