turning to politics. he said:
Il am for Mr.. Byrd for the speaker

at Washington through note from the
British ambassad dor The ambassador
states that he has been informed that q
majority of the Hindus have left Bel
lingham for Canada, In consequences of
the trouble. and that those at Everett are
In fear of an outbreak.
Acting Secretary of State Adee wired
Gov. Mead the substance OF the ambas-
sador's note and asked that he be ad-
vised TO the situation. Upon receipt
of this telegram the governor wired
Mayor Black at Bellingham. and Mayor
Newton Jones at Everett to ascertain
the conditions in those cities, and has re-
ceived the following replies, which were
communicated to the state department at
Washington:
"Bellingham--Hindus have largely left
here. There Is no danger OF trouble un-
der present conditions. No force has ever
been used. They were ordered out OF
town by a crowd OF men and boys. | i'm

SALT RIVER Is NO FABLE.

Stream of That Name Flows Into the
Ohio south of Louisville.
Salt River, sacred to defeated can
dldates, Is real stream. While not
navigable, it is used every winter as
an ice harbor by the towboats which
GO out Of Pittsburg for the south.
Salt River empties into the Ohio
about twenty-five miles south of Louis
ville 1t is a small stream which flows
from the Kentucky hills to the great
water and Is as tortuous, as crooked
and as unpleasant to navigate as the
mind can imagine Yet it Is navigated
for a short distance from its mouth
by steamers Of light draft. Flatboats
and RATS are foated down upon It's
bosom. Before the Civil War it was
an important stream In the matter of
bringing Kentucky whisky down in the
fatboats to a point where they could
be unloaded to a river steamer. Re-
fractory slaves were generally assign
ed to the task of bringing these boats
down, as the work was arduOus.
Salt River became bugaboo among
the negroes and 1t was from the un-
pleasant character Of the work On this
river that "a trip up Salt River" came
to be used in politics to express the
destination of a defeated candidate.
The name Is supposed to have come
from the salt springs which flow into
1t at Its source.
