the republican members theyvoted against the propo-

position ever since in spite of the cajoling and bully
ing Of Speaker Caunon. If they could rely upon the
assistance Of the democrats who are largely opposed
to the Hamilton BILL the case Of the four territories
would be settled separately each on its own merits
and III that event Oklahoma aud Indian Territory
would have smooth sailing in the house ami senate.
However, the democrats steering wildly and ap-
parantly without any definite policy.
This will make dead lock between the house and
and the result will be utter failure Of statehood
for any Of the territories. There is every
beIieve that the senate has not changed its Views
since last winter when it refused to pass the Hamilton
bill. BY unanimous vote last February the senate
adopted the Foraker amendment providing that Ari-
zona and New Mexico should each take separate
vote on the question Of joint statehood Afterward
the Bacon amendment adopted BY vote of thirty
nine to thirty six striking out all reference in the bill
to Arizona and New Mexico. The bill, as amended,
passed the byone vote but the house refused
to concur, and the bill died with the session,

DERELICT WILD WITH RATS
One of the Queer Things They Run
Across Who Go Down to the
Sea in Ships
special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, May 19.-The log of the
British steamship Coulson, which ar
rived in New York from the far east
the other day, records some unusual
things. 1t ran into rough weather on
the way from Portland, Ore, to Yoko-
hama, and had used up all its coal
when only half done with it's journey
The Coulson was loaded with grain
and Captain Henry decided to use that
for fuel. Seven thousand bags, at 50 a
bag had gone into the Coulson's fur
naces when it put in at Muroran in
north Japan.
Coming back the Coulson was in lati-
tude 42:04 north and longitude 45:02
west on March "a when 1t sighted a
derelict steamship. The German
steamship Calabria was near and the
Coulson and 1t raced to see which
would reach the derelict first.
'I never saw such a sight in my life" Z"
said First officer Phare as he told the
story. THE wrecked vessel was the
British steamship Dunmore, which was
abandoned in December in midocean.
Its crew had been picked up and landed
at Bremen. But you should have seen
that ship. A fine one 1t had been and
there 1t lay in the trough of the sea
with its starboard rail under water
and a thousand rats racing about its
decks squeaking. We won't soon forget
that. The rats seemed to be mad. They
scurried down the matches and then
came up through the companionway,
falling over one another in their haste,
biting and squealing.
"Only a sailor can understand how
we felt when we looked on that fine
big ship given over to the rats. Some
of the men were so angry that they
fired their revolvers into the scurryine
horde and killed many of them. The
live rats soon devoured the carcasses
and resumed their mad racing. AL
that we could do was to leave the
Dunmore In their charge"

By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 13.-At a later meet
ing, called for Dowie adherents only,
but which was invaded by a large num-
ber of those who were riotous at the
former meeting, Dowie precipitated a
second general disturbance.
He caused to be read a letter from
one of his supporters, stating that the
writer's wife had passed safely through
the crisis of a serious illness while
Dowie prayed for her.
This fact Dowie compared with the
case OF Mrs. Cantel, wife Of an over
seer who died last Friday without
medical attention while Voliva and his
medical supporters were offering pray
ers for her recovery.
Dowie declared that he feared that
the woman died because she had asso-
ciated herself with the rebels There
was storm of Kisses and shouts of
Shame"
"There is death in store for more of
you If this rebellion keeps on" con-
tinued Dowie. Again the people sprang
from their chairs shouting and gesti-
culating. until the tumult became so
general that Dowie was obliged to
bring the meeting to a close.

SEATTLE, May 13-"Beck" is only
an ordinary government mule, assigned
for duty at Fort Lawton, but she
knows her several orders as we'll as
any enlisted sentry that walks post,
and she has never so much as appeared
before the summary court during her
half dozen years at Magnolia Bluff.
''Beck's" principal duty is hauling a
dump-cart used in policing the grounds
at the fort. In the morning she makes
her rounds Of the rear of the officers
and mems quarters, collecting garbage.
One or two prisoners and sentry al
ways accompany her. Not that the
sentry is needed to watch Beck" but
to keep an eye on the prisoners.
No driver is required. Beck" knows
every turn and every stop along the
route, and so long as she is in speaking
distance she will stop or start at the
word of command.
In the afternoon Beck" assists IN
cleaning up the parade and in haul
ing fuel. A general order at the post
prohibits the hauling of laden vehicles
in front of the officers quarters.
Beck" knows this as well as anyone
who ever drove her, and she has never
been guilty of violating the order
Around the hill, long quarter of q
mile haul, she will bring load of coal
with her driver far in the rear. But
it's shorter on the way back to go
by the officers quarters. and Beck
always takes advantage of the dis
crepancy in the order, which says Moth

Beck was first assigned for duty

fowl on Eagle Island ledge, a Saco boy,

completely closed and he was stiff, sore
and black and blue from head to foot.
Whalen had ten or fifteen dead sea
fowl, representing several different
varieties, which he had killed with a
club.
Whalen's story of his all night con-
flict with the feathered hordes is al
most weird. When his vessel came to
Portland he was taken i'll and left it..
On Friday morning he took a motor
boat and made a long sail to Eagle ISL

General News Fore.

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
WASHINGTON. May 1s.--The senate
Will begin the week with a resumption
of the consideration of the railroad rate
bill, and no one can say how long that
measure will continue to receive at
tention. Senator Tillman, who is in
charge Of the bill, expresses great
anxiety for a vote, but the probabili.
ties are that many senators will desire
TO speak.
Further debate on the general fea-
lures Of the bill may also be expected,
and It Is not at all improbable that the
tions with the president will be again
revived
Senators Grow Weary
with the rate bill disposed of, the
senate will probably be very quiet for
a few days. Many of the senators are
worn out from the extra exertions which
the bill has occasioned, and some of
them will leave the city for few days
to rest.
Mr.. Tillman will go to South Caro-
lima for week, and on account of his
absence the nomination of Mr.. Barnes to
be postmaster of the city of Washing
ton, probably will be delayed for some
time.
The first legislation of choice which
may be undertaken is the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation
bill. That measure is still before the
committee on appropriations but is In
such shape that it can be reported on
at any time.
Other Measures Pending
Senator Dillingham;, chairman of the
committee onimmigration. probably will
make an effort to get action on the
Immigration bill, but the present pros
pect is that the measure will arouse little
if any controversy.
Senator Clark hopes to bring in the
conference report on the Indian ap-
preparation bill. 1t is not probable
that the report will escape general dis
cussion.
1t is expected that vote on the
statehood bill will be demanded soon,
but the conferees themselves are in
clined to believe that 1t will be post
poned beyond the present week.
The naval appropriation bill is stlll
in the way, the five days given to it
last week being only sufficient to COM
p1ete the first half of the bill.
Triple Contest Follows
Then will come a contest between
three bills which under special orders
have the right of way over appropria-
ton DlllS. IneSS are lne pure lOOo
bill in charge of Representative Hep
burn of Iowa; the naturalization bill,
in charge of Representative Bonynge
of Colorado, and the bill amending the
Immigration laws, made special or
der at the instance of Representative
Gardiner OF Massachusetts.
Each of these members will endeavor
to get up the bill in his care. Chair
man Hepburn appears to have the bet
ter chance of success.
A committee of the lower house of
the Russian parliament having been
chosen to consider and make a report
on the resolutions of the agrarian
problem, it is expected that the ses-
sions Of the house will continue until
the important question is settled.
The cry of amnesty for political pris-
oners is raised ana will undoubtedly
be kept to the fore.

Lutheran church has sent cablegrams
to the missionaries of the church in
China, ordering them to leave the dis
tricts in which they are engaged in case
they consider their lives in danger.
Bishop Dahl has received three let
ters from missionaries of the United
church in China, who forecast the

tion. According to these letters the dis
turbance is centered around Running
Flu of the Honan district.
Soldiers Not Dependable
Rev. ]. S. Stoke, who wrote one of
the letters dated in April, says the
Chinese are rising against their own
government in this district, and he
asserts that the officers and the govern
ment officials themselves do not believe
that their own soldiers are to be de-
pended upon. as they are receiving pay
from the revolutionists. He says they
are constantly afraid the soldiers will
betray them and open the gates to the
enemy.
