KING LEOPOLD LOSING

Brussels July 24.-f'he close of King
Leopold's long struggle TO stave off

African state is foreshadowed i'm the

Congo Free State shall pass into the
possession Of Belgium. This transfer
Will mark an important epoch for the
Congo. as the entire conduct of af-

der the personal direction of King
Leopold and a cabinet of Congo Off
GERS entirely separate from Belgium,
whereas the new regime will make the
Belgium government instead OF the
king individually. responsible for the
conduct Of Congo affairs.
The proposed transfer comes at a
time when Major Lemair's charges OF
Congo atrocities are again directing
attention to the past administration.
Charges of this nature heretofore
aroused much resentment in Europe
and the United States and the Congo
administration has sought to meet
them in part by the investigation of a
committee. the report of which has
disclosed many serious abuses.

FLOOD AT ROOSEVELT
$500 SECOND FEET
No Serious Damage Feared, But Con-
struction Work on the Dam May b.
Delayed Few Days.

A telephone message from Roose-
welt yesterday announced that 900
second feet of water was flowing at
that point, due to the recent rains.
and that the water was running over
the north end of the big dam. This Is
not surprising. nor is it particularly
embarrassing. thanks to the fact that
the dam is now eight feet above
datum at the lowest point. though 1t
would have been rather more satis-
factory il the rains had held off a
while until a wider foundation had
been secured. so further construction
could have proceeded at the south end
OF the dam. even If not clear across
Ii merely means the filling up of the
excavated area below the dam, which
it will take a few days to pump out
as soon as the water recedes. Twenty
five hundred second feet means a
pretty lively little flood, about 100000
inches. and it will probably mean high
water for a day or so at the river
crossings here in the valley.
Engineer Howard Reed and Dan
McDermott. canal superintendent.
went up to the Arizona head yester-
day to be on hand when the water
reaches there and keep close watch on
the gates. and If possible prevent the
ingress of too much water. which
endanger the canal banks near the
head 1t is hardly expected the flood
will disturb the Arizona canal dam or
do any material damage to the Gran
ite Reef works, as the men i'm charge
were notified of the expected rise in

the action OF Steunenberg n asking

law in 1899, was unjustifiable and had
properly stirred up intense feeling in
labor circles against the governor.
DarrOw's argument, unfinished to-

THtRf'S NO COMEBACK
FOR B. f. REAKStCkER
The Board Of Supervisors Advised
That II Has No Authority to Re-
fund the License Fee.

II b. F. Reaksecker recovers any
part OF the liquor license fee of $500
paid by him last April for the pur-
pose Of running his saloon at Alham-
bra IL will have to be on an order
of the district court. The board of
supervisors though willing and even
anxious TO refund the fee for the time
not yet expired. is convinced that it
is unable under the law to do so.
After the hearing on Tuesday when
it was decided to revoke the license
the board requested Assistant District
Attorney Lyman and Captain Alexan-
der, attorney for Reaksecker. for an
opinion as to the ability of the board
TO refund the fee. Captain Alexander
was unable to find anything in the
law prohibiting such action by the
board but yesterday afternoon Mr.. Ly-
man rendered an opinion in which he
stated that he had been unable to find
any authority for ,refvRding the mon
ey. The board accordingly determined
to take no further action in the mat
ter.
The formal order of revocation OF
Reaksecker's license was made yes
terday and a notice was put into the
hands Of the sheriff to serve upon
him. This was done and Alhambra
is now without a saloon. II was not
learned yesterday whether the valid
ity of the law or the jurisdiction Of
the board will be tested further.

The SNATCHED
FROM THE SEA
The Survivors of the Col.
umbia Reach Portland
A Touching Spectacle as
Thousands Gathered to
Welcome Their Coming.

Portland. Ore. July 24.-Bearing the
survivors of the wrecked Columbia the
steamer George w. Elder made fast
to her dock precisely at six O'Clock
this evening Hours before the big
steamer touched at her dock thousands
of people gathered to welcome the for
tunate survivors of the catastrophe
and relatives and friends were there
to prove by sight and touch the safety
of loved ones. There We're those who
were lrnpelled by a final hope that by
some miracle. a father. wife. son or
brother might have been overlooked in
the preparation of the roster of the

When the big boat was made fast y
cheer arose and by what seemed to be
mutual consent the crowds divided.
forming line on either side of a
narrow lane through which the sur
vivors walked as they left the vessel.
They were seized as fast as they were
recognized and smothered with hugs
and kisses. and not few tears found
refuge on shoulders and breasts as the
loved ones were reunited There was
no organized celebration. just a spon-
taneous welcoming of the ship
wrecked people.
There is praise for all the Column
bias officers. save one who was
stamped by several men passengers
on the Elder as a craven. This man
was a subordinate officer. While in
charge Of his life boat he was COM
petent, yet that appeared to be the
limit of his responsibility. He crawled
to the bottom of the boat while il was
laying TO for daylight near the San
Pedro and hid himself beneath a piece
of canvas. Later. when on the Elder.
he attempted to jump overheard. and
the passengers say he must either
have been drunk or crazed through
the use Of some stimulant.
There is no disposition on the part
OF the survivors to lay the blame on
any one. Their feelings are of the
kindest toward the crew of the San
Pedro and the heroic action OF Captain
DOran and his men calls forth moth
ing but laudation,.
The passengers, however. agree that
there was a blunder and that both
masters gave conflicting orders. There
would have been no accident had each
boat continued on its course instead
