MINING CONGRESS OPENS
IN PORTLAND

come before the gathering.
After the preliminary business the
congress was formally opened by
prayer, after which Governor Cham
berlain extended a welcome to the
visitors on behalf Of the citizens of
Oregon, and Mayor Williams offered
the hospitality of the citizens of
Portland to the visitors.
With the delegates all on the
scene, the fight for the permanent To-
cation of headquarters is assuming
definite shape. Salt Lake and Den
yer are the only real contenders for
the honor. Both cities have offered
sites for a building and large sums
of money for the construction of
the same. Salt Lake seems to have
the lead
While there is a strong sentiment
in favor of having a permanent To-
cation for the congress among the
delegates from the Rocky Mountain
states, much opposition is being man
ifested by representative from other
parts of the country, especially from
this coast and from the Eastern
states.

FOUND BODY IN
LAKE WHATC0M

BELLINGHAM, Aug. %. - All
doubts as to the fate of William Nc
Kenzie and Katie Bast were set at
rest yesterday morning by the finding
of the body of Mckenzie. The body,
when first seen, was floating in Lake
Wnatcom at point about 200 yards
distant from the new boathouse and
between it and a log boom.
A street car motorman was first
to notice the floating object, which
proved, on investigation of parties
who went out to it in a boat, to be
the body of the missing young man,
who, with Miss Bast, went out row.
ing on the lake two weeks ago to-
day.
Coroner r. N. Clifford was at once
notified and the remains were taken
to his undertaking parlOrs. The body
was in bad condition. Efforts are
being made today to raise the body
Of Miss Bast by the use of explosives
A theory now advanced to account
for their drowning is that, finding
the water too rough for safety, they
attempted to make a landing on the
log boom and the upheaval of the
logs upset the boat.

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug 22.-sev-
eral thousand delegates are attend
ing the seventh annual session of
the American Mining Congress that
opened in Portland today. The i'm
portance and extent Of the mining
industry In the United States is evil
denced by the fact that without ex-
ception every state and territory of
the union is represented at the con-
gress. The East and South are rep
resented by capitalists, mining en-
gineers and others interested in the
industry, while the central and the
Western states, including Illinois,
Missouri, Ohio, Iowa, Wyoming,
Utah, California, Idaho, Montana,
Oregon, Washington and Nevada,
have sent large delegations of prac-
tical mining men.
President ]. H. Richards of Boise,

BROOM COMPANIES TO
 FORM COMBINATION

Chicago, May 25.-rThe Inter-Ocean to-day says: At a meeting of repre- senatives of the principal broom man. ufacturing companies of the United States, held here, action has been ta- ken which practically insures the for nation of a combination of the princi- pal companies under the name of the National Broom Go. The new com pany will be formed on a strict basis of actual valuation.
 It was decided to include only about seventeen or eighteen of the largest broom companies Of the country and to put the capital stock at4or about $4,- OOO,OO0
 One of the advantages of the mer- ger is said to be, uniformity in the manufacture of brooms, for, instead of there being ten varieties to each indi- vidual factory. there would be ten standard kinds for the entire country Brooms will also be shipped from the nearest factory, and all settlements made through a central office.

YAZOO ON FIRE.
Mississippi Town Doomed Outside Fire Help
 Assisting.

Memphis, Tenn, May 25.-It is re- ported that Yazoo City, Miss, is burn ing.
 The last dispatch from the city stated the blazing confagration was completely beyond control. Trains loaded with fire apparatus are being hurried from Greenwood and Jackson. Twelve blocks of business houses and residences have already been devoured by the raging flames, which are creat- ing wild havoc. Terror and excite ment have taken possession of the res idents.
 The fire originated in the block oc- cupied by the Western Union, Postal Telegraph Go and the telephone ex- change. Shortly after the fire started all communication with outside towns was shut off. It is reported that the residence of John Sharp Williams, the democratic leader in the house of representatives, has been destroyed.

An efficient staff of native runners are unable to obtain any inkling of the Japanese move nents and the Russians positively will not discuss their plans, since it is evident that Mukden is apt to change them at any moment. Commercial activity has been renewed if this sec tion of the peninsula and inland N.avel proceeds unhampered by any restric- ton.
 Many vessels are arriving and de parting for Shanghai, Hong Kong and other southern ports with bean cake and other products, the Russians exer- eising no supervision over inward or outward cargoes. Heavy freighting is going on over the Tien Tsin railroad.

Ukiah, Cal, May 25.--Charles Penio, the oldest chief of the Ukiah tribe, is dead at Cox ranchero and the Indians are celebrating the death feast. Penio was 1O7 years of age and ruled the UkiaF.s long before the white settlers arrived and the death of many whites lies at his door. He was judge and jury for the tribe, but was deposed about 9 years ago for killing Sam Warden. Warden and another Indian had Cuarreled over game of cards and tho other Indian was killed. Penio was sent for and he had War den tied to a tree to be shot. He dodg- ed the first bullet, which so infuriated tue chief that he seized an axe and chopped off Warden's head. Penio was held in jail for several months, but none of the Indians could be in duced to testify against hin Penio had always resented the encroachment of the whites and was considered dan gevous. He was buried in Indian style with his pony and war lmpie- mentS

LIKE THE CHANGE.
Members of Local Military Compan-
 ies Look Forward to Manassas.

The members of the two local com panies appear to be rather enthusfas- tic over the proposed participation of the state brigade in the army maneu- vers which will be held by the regular army and the members of the National guard of several staates at Manassas in Virginia, They rather favor the plan oven though it means little more work and time than were spent at Mantle. They are rather amused with the remarks of some soldiers m New Haven, who are reported as stat ing that they are afraid they will catch the fever owing to the warm weather in Virginia at that time of the year or may be done up by the sever ity of the work with the regular army. The local men are not afraid of a little extra work nor are they afraid of be- ing sick. They are of the opinion that the weather will be lovely in Virginia in September. These men, who are kicking about the trip, are probably the ones who wore overcoats in the parade at Hartford, for which the Sec ond regiment were somewhat criticis- ed. The local men favor the trip ow- ing to the change from Mantle and also for the experience which they will gain.

with disaster. Government circles are inclined to think the reports of possible protests by the powers are confined to the press. Neither the British nor the American embassies has received instructions on the sub ject. The indications are that if the question of laying mines beyond the three mile limit becomes the subject of a formal protest 1t will raise new question of international law, growing out of the increased range of modern guns The three mile limit was es- tablished in the days when that dis tance represented the maximum range but if ships can now lie eight CT ten miles away and yet reach the coast With their projectiles it is ar gued that the defenders have a perfect right to take such military measures as they choose within the range of tie enemy's guns.
 It is now definitely known that the Russian protected cruiser Bogatyr went on the. rocks. a fortnight ago., at "a place near Cape Gamova, <, where one of Admiral Seymour's British ships went ashore several years ago.

THE CHARITY BAZAAR.
Every One Interested is Hustlins to
 Make it Success.

Arrangements for the mammoth charity bazaar which will be given by the Queens Daughters in the city hall for four nights, commencing June 15, are rapidly nearing completion. It promises to be one of the largest and most successful affairs of it's kind ever held in this city. Increased inter- est is being manifested in 1t owing to the fact that the Right Rev Bishop Tierney will be present on the opening night and thus will manifest his ap- proval of the good work The pastors of the different Catholic churches in the city are showing a hearty interest in the work and are assisting it ma terially. They have donated their pic lures. The canvassers will begin to make them profitable immediately.
 The tickets for the round trip for two persons to the St Louis exposition are on sale and large number of lAem have been sold. So far the sale is very encouraging. The secretary of the Queens Daughters has written to Mrs Roosevelt, wife of the president, ask ing for some donation to the bazaar
 All the Catholic societies are enter ing enthusiastically upon the plans to aid the Queens Daughters. Various SOc10uoS VIII dlleuQ Lne UdAaaE IT e body on different nights. The Rev Father Fitzgerald, chaplain of the so- ciety. has been empowered to select the nights for the different societies to attend.
