DROWN IN PAYETTE RAPIDS.
Two Boats, Containing Sixteen Log
gers, oVerturn-SeVen Are
Drowned.

In the angry waters Of the south
fork of the Payette seven men LOST
their lives Thursday afternoon. They
were Joe Boden, Bert IRE, Mel Curtis
Joe Hamilton, Tom Highland, Frank
Fitzgerald and David Mcmillan. 1t
is not anticipated that the bodies viii
be recovered soon.
The men were in the employ OF the
Idaho White Pine Mining company Of
Nampa and were engaged, under the
superintendency of II. f. Strong, in
bringing down a log drive. The party
had two boats which were used on
stretches of the stream where they
could be handled. Thursday afternoon
the two boats pulled into a large eddy
lust u miles above Garden Valley,
near the place where the accident oc-
CURED. it being the intention to tie up
there for the night and let the boats
down through the rapids below in the
morning.
The first boat failed to make a land
ing properly and the men determined
to run the rapids. Soon after it struck
the bad water the boat filled and sank.
The men in the second boat thought
the first had succeeded in making the
run safely and started down after it,
meeting with the same fate. Nine
succeeded in reaching the shore after
a terrible experience In the boiling
water. Some of them were carried
down a long distance before they could
work their way to a landing place.
None of the drowned men had fami-
lies so far as known, and it is not
known from whence they came. They
were loggers.

JOE CHAMBERLAIN VERY WEAK
Unable to Rise and Bow to London
Admirers.

London-After the recent %reassur-
ing reports from Santa Raphael,
France, regarding the improvement in
the health of Joseph Chamberlain, his
arrival in England Saturday a some
what of a shock to his friends, who
had gathered to meet him, both here
and at Dover.
Mr.. Chamberlain was accompanied
by his wife and son, Neville. When the
train arrived at the Victoria station
he was seen lying back on the cush-
ions, seemingly almost helpless. He
made no effort to rise until assisted by
his wife and son, and it was remarked
that he made a vain attempt to raise
his hat in response to a cheer from the
crowd.
Mr.. Chamberlain was almost carried
to his carriage. He drove to his Lon
don residence. 1t seems that he is
quite unable to walk by himself.
.Twitchings of the facial muscles sug-
gested that the effects of his recent
seizure have not been completely sha-
ken of.
The family authorized the follow
ing statement:
"Mr. Chamberlain has returned much
improved in health and none the worse
for the long journey. He has not yet
made any plans, but will certainly re-
main in London for a time.

FIERCE ATTACK ON ROOSEVELT
Long, Nature Writer, Says President
Is No Sportsman.

Is No Sportsman.
New York-Dr. William ]. Long,
the nature writer, who was attacked
by President Roosevelt in a recent
magazine article, has fired another
broadside at the president. He ac-
cused the chief executive Of plagiar-
ism and wildly pictured his cruelties
of hunting. either instances from
Roosevelt's published stories of ex-
%periences with big game. Concluding
his statement, DR.. Long said:
1T is not your hunting to which
object. for l also am a hunter, but
your unnecessary brutality and bar
barism. The bloody endings over
which you gloat bring little ~self-satis-
faction to a thoughtful man who has
seen the last look in the eyes of a
stricken deer and who remembers that
even this small life has its mystery.
you are not a sportsman. though
you have slain your thousands; you
are not a naturalist, though you have
measured hides and horns; you do not
and you can not understand the
hearts Of the wild things, though you
have made a ~grievous quantity of
them bleed. II needs no eyewitness
nor any affidavit TO support this state
ment You have yourself furnished all
the proof"

Army and Navy Authorities
Have About Completed
Their Estimates.
OF THE COST TO REPAIR THE
FORTIFICATIONS AND VESSELS
ALONG THE GULF COAST DAM
AGED BY THE SEPTEMBER HUR-
R!CANE.

Estimates of the cost to replace the
the vessels sunk and damaged during
the September hurricane have about
been concluded, according to advices
from Washington This includes the
rebuilding of the Notifications at Pen
sacola and Mobile, and also the raising
and repairing OF the vessels sunk at
the navy yard here. 1t is stated that
the loss of the army will be heavier
tLan that of the navy, but those here
who are well informed think the loss
sustained by the navy is much heavier
than that of the army, even in
Guiding the damage at Mobile and
other points A special from Wash
ington TO the New Orleans Times
Democrat gives the following regard
ing the contemplated repair work:
Army and navy authorities have
been hard at work repairing The dam
age done to the ships and forts by
the great gulf storm last fall, and they
have completed practically all the es-
Inmates necessary as basis for con
gressional appropriations for this pur-
pose. The army probably sustained
the greatest monetary damage, and
Quartermaster General Humphrey has
asked Congress for 1884, 900 for the
reconstruction of Fort Morgan, in Mo-
bile Bay, and the forts at Pensacola
He also has requested an appropria-
ton of $4,000 to repair the barracks
and quarters at Fort Philip, near the
mouth of the Mississippi river, and in
anticipation of the inclusion of these
estimates in one of the deficiency ap-
preparation bills, the Quartermaster's
department has sent experts to the
Notifications needing repairs to make
requisitiOn for the necessary repairs.
Though not so large in a pecuniary
sense, the naval losses included sew
eral vessels which were engaged in
the SpaniSh-American war The
Gloucester, which, under Waiu-
wright's command, had such a bril-
liant history at Santiago and in Porto
Rico, lies far on the beach at Pensa-

to abandon their attempt to lower the
Gloucester TO deep water because the
dredge ran Unto old walls. docks and
other structures of a past era that
were not known to be under ground.

THE MACHlAS
NOW IN DOCK
WHERE EXTENSIVE REPAIRS ARE
TO BE MADE BY NAVY YARD
WORKMEN.

The gunbOat Machias, which was
recently raised at the Pensacola navy
ward, has been placed in the Spanish
floating dock, where the extensive re-
pairs which will be necessary to place
her in a seaworthy condition, are to
be made.
The MachiaS sunk in the basin at
the yard during the storm. and the
task of raising her was big one. as
the hull had been badly damaged and
divers were engaged for several. weeks
in stopping the leaks so that the
dredge Caucus could pump out the
water and thus float the vessel.
The repairs necessary will cause a
large expenditure of money and the
employment of many men.
