COLON, March 24.-The steamer
Bluecher. with Speaker Cannon and
representatives of the United States,

were not permitted TO land. owing to
the fact that the Bluecher had been out
from Venezuela less than seven days,
and the health authorities were un-
willing, to establish precedent in
favor of the Congressman. There Is a
quarantine against Venezuelan ports
because of the prevalence of an cpl
demic.
Colonel l.. White Busby wrote to the

former President Grover Cleveland in
an interview yesterday, I'm the popular
outcry against railroad corporations"
Continuing he said.
We shall all be ashamed OF 81 By and by.
There Is much that Is not only groundless, but
wrong In the ofhand attacks made the rail-

that the railroads vitally related 10 our
prosperity and that TO attack them Deedlessly

soulless millionaires, but the property Of citi-

invested in railroads, that is being damaged.

Strike at Camps
HEAVY FALL OF SNOW
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO, THE CALL

TACOMA, March pa. H. Gray, a
resident of this city, received letters to-
day from Nome. Alaska. dated January
25. which give details of the very Sc
we're winter experienced along Bering
Sea up to that time. A number OF ter
rife billiards from the south swept
over the sea and land during December
and January The force of the wind
storms drove the ice in on the beach
in great piles from thirty to nifty feet
high. During one of the blizzards 1t
was feared that all the buildings on the
south side of Front street in Nome
would be ground to pieces
Several small steamers used Tor
coasting purposes along the shore or
Bering Sea were crushed out or ex-
istence by the ice. Pressure OF the ice
against the Nome wharf smashed 1t
into small pieces. During January the
snow was from ten to twelve feet deep
on the level ground Trails leading
to the various mining camps were in
such a bad condition that teams of
four and six horses were required TO
haul small loads TO the settlements on
the creeks.
Most of the mines had been closed
down owing to a strike of the miners
and hundreds Of them had come to
Nome. Otherwise the matter of get
ting supplies to them would have been
a difficult problem. On January 25
eggs carried to Nome last fall had be-
gun TO taste musty. and the citizens
OF Nome were wishing for the early
arrival of the steamship Corwin, which
has been the first boat to arrive from
Puget Sound for several seasons.

Tells HOW To WAGE
WAR UPON HOP APH|S
Professor Clarke of State
University Advises
Growers

BERKELEY. March 24.-The pest
known to hop growers OF California as
the hop aphis is the subject OF a bulle-
tin just issued at the university by
Professor Warren T. Clarke, In which
the savant discusses the depredations
of the pest and means of eradicating
it. Professor CIarke's conclusions with
regard to the hop aphis are as follows:
To sum up. then, It seems that under our
California conditions the hop aphids appear nrst
in the spring as wingless parthen0genetic fe-
males (stem- -mothers) upon the staminate tmale)
vines. They reproduce rapidly here, and occa-
migrate to- nearby vines, and the aphids are thus
spread through the affected yard. They con1ne
their attack to the leaves of the vine until
young hop cones are formed. and then attack
ssfing of reduction In the size and weight
and also loss Of value to the hops, because
of the poor aroma due TO the actual presence
of the aphids in them.
Experiments with sprays made OF mixtures of
kerosene emulsion and tobacco decoction and OK
whale oil soap and quassia extract were en-
tirely effective In controlling the sphfds- Other
materials experimental with not nearly
satisfactory in their effect as were the two
described.
The hop aphis is quite readily identified The
wingess and winged parthenogenetic females
followed late In the year by wingess owl
parous females and winged males. These are
always found upon the late growing male vines
at hand 1t would seem that hibernatfon OF the
aphids took place In the egg form in the hop
yards This does not agree with the history
of the insect elsewhere, as published by Pro-
of successful winter treatment for the hop
aphis under California conditions.

Steam Schooner Coquille Is
Disabled During a
Fierce Gale
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


ASTORIA. March 24-The identity of
the distressed vessel which was sighted
off the river yesterday was made
known this morning when the tug
Tatoosh towed in the disabled steam
schooner Coquille River. The schooner
had sailed from Tillamook Bay on
Thursday evening with lumber cargo
for San Francisco and soon after cross
ing the bar ran into a fierce gale. The
strong southwest wind drove the veg
sci farther north. During the gale the
waves washed over her and her fires
were put out. Then her machinery be-
came disabled and for twenty-five
hours she was heIplessly tossed about
by the furious sea Yesterday morning
the steamer Santa Ana, in ballast from
San Francisco for this port, sighted
the vessel and seeing her plight went
to her assistance The rough sea pre-
vented her from approaching close,
but she managed to get line aboard.
This line parted in a short time and
another was spliced aboard, but 1t also
parted. The Santa Ana was powerless
to assist the disabled vessel in any way
and fearing that he would meet with
a similar fate, her master proceeded.
BY this time the Coquille River was
in waterlogged condition. with the
seas washing over her. A portion of
her deckload was thrown overheard
and the crew were put to work bailing
out the vessel Her pumps were clogged
and the crew strived to keep the yes
sci afioat bailing her with small cans.
1t was this morning before the bar
tug was able to cross out, and after
reaching her a heavy hawser was
placed aboard with much difficulty and
she was towed into port.
