Proved a Good FIoater.

Weiser, Idaho, June 21.-Monday a
ternoon Ed Peak, carpenter, said to
have been intoxicated, climed upon the
guard rail of the bridge across the
Snake river at this place and fell into
the swollen river. He was about 400
feet from the Idaho shore. In that
place the river is about 20 feet deep
and running like mill race. He at.
tempted to reach the piers of the
bridge, but being unable to do so swan
down stream short distance and then
turning on his back foated down
stream for nearly mile and merged
on the Oregon side more dead than
alive. Peak fell into the river at the
same place where a workman on the
bridge was drowned last fall.

Generals Bates and Corbin to Advance
in Rank.
An official announcement is made at
the war department that Major Gener-
al John C. Bates and Major General
Henry C. Corbin would successfully
serve as chief of staff with the rank of
lieutenant general after the retire
ment of General Chaffee next April.
General Corbin becomes of retiring
age in September, 1906, and General
Bates in August, 1906, but the present
plan contemplates that General Bates,
who will be the immediate successor
to General Chaffee, will be retired in
advance of his regular time in order
that he and General COrbin, who will
succeed him at the head of the army,
may divide the time between the re-
tirement of General Chaffee and the
date of General Corbin's retirement
officially.

In Securities


Through the agency of Jake Terry,
who once was a cellmate with Bill"
Miner in the San Quentin, CAL, prison,
securities having face value of 1884,
900, taken from a safe of the DOmin-
ion Express company in the robbery
of Canadian Pacific train at Mission
Junction last September, have been
recovered. Miner, who is now at large,
is said to have given the information
which made the recovery possible at
a meeting with Terry near Olympia,
Wash.
1t was through relatives of Miner
that the meeting between the two men
is said to have been arranged. Terry
is authority for the statement that
Miner will not be arrested, though
the arrest of other persons for COM
plicity in the robbery is probable. Ter
ry, among other things, said:
Il knew that the Canadian Pacific
train was to be robbed before the
robbery took place."

The Gar Has Washed His Hands OF
the Whole Affair.
St. Peter aburg.-A story is current
in the city that the day before Grand
Duke Alexis resigned the post OF high
admiral he received formal warning
from the terrorists informing him that
unless he retired within twenty-four
hours sentence on him would be
passed and executed.
The announcement Of Admiral Alex
ieff's retirement was not accompanied
by the usual rescript of praise and 1t
bears all the ear marks Of imperial dis
favor. The retirement of Grand Duke
Alexis as high admiral and of Alexiet
as viceroy Of the far east and the
suppression Of the far eastern commit
tee in quick succession is the best evil
dence that Japan could need that the
emperor has washed his hanos OF the
whole Manchurian adventure. The
Liberal press greets the demise OF the
far eastern committee with a howl OF
exultation as being the final blow to
the policy which led to the present
war &.
