NO ACTION WAS TAKEN
Mercantile Association COMMITTEES
Made no Report on Meraina.

Whether It is more advisable to join
forces with the Board OF Trade or 10
remain an Independent organization
was the topic OF discussion before the
Mercantile Association last night and
the concensus Of opinion was appar-
entity so evenly divided that action on
the question was deferred for two
weeks in order to give every member
an opportunity to think about it and
to arrive at a definite decision. At
the next meeting a vote will be taken
and then the question will be settled
for once and all time.
James Wright. chairman Of the spec
ial committee appointed to confer with
the Board of Trade committee on the
proposition reported that the Board of
Trade coumittee thought the merchants
of the city could do themselves more
good and benefit the city TO a greater
degrees by merging with the Board W
Trade. The latter organization would I'M
that event appoint standing mercan-
tile committee that would aook after
interests Of the retail men OF Wilming-
ton and their actions would he backed
by the prestige Of the Board of Trade.
with such backing the merchants would
be better protected and could accom-
plish more than they are able 10 do in
their present condition.
other members were OF the same
opinion but a few favored the continu-
alton Of the Mercantile Association as
an Independent organization. At the
next meeting, however, the matter win
be decided one way or another.
Mayor Horace Wilson sent a letter
TO the association he had received from
c. Brooks Johnstone, chairman OF the
Board Of Governors of the jamestown
Exposition asking him to arrange for

sharpened and the muse invoked. for the
maiden whose hair is golden brown will
be the object Of alteration.
Two famous beauties in Paris have set
this fashion. It is said Their luxuriant
locks are a delicious brown gold color

DENIES CASTELLANE FEE

PARIS. March 15-Edmond Kelly
who was Madame Anna Gould's at
dorney in her proceedings for divorce
was interviewed concerning the state
ment that he had ovtrcharged the
former Countess Boni de Castellane for
his services NJ. Kelly dictated the
following statement:
1T is a deliberate falsehood to say
that / charged a Zee Of $4,000 francs
(s175 OOO) in the Castellane case. The
newspapers probably published the
statement in good faith, but it is part
of the campaign OF calumny that has
been directed against me personally
all through the litigation.
ct have cabled my correspondent IN
New York to deny this statement ano
to nstigate legal proceedings without
delay against any paper publishing this
misstatement after this denial From
this on I shsll hold every one circul9t-
ing this misstatement responsible foi

Fancy does not run riot in the de-

the tailor-made higher into the realm

FEAR REVOLT IN CHINA.

department 1t appears that the rulins
dynasty In China is seriously alarmed
over the effect OF the spread OF famine
through the country and the opportuni.
ty IL offers to seditionaly societies &c
enlist converts to their cause directed
against the government.
The governments inability to re-
lieve suffering, 1t Is said, has been
magnIied and the hardshIps Of the peo.
pie attributed to lack OF sympathy BY
the government for the roor classes.
The information indicates that pro-
paganda has been organized to further
the circulation of stories Of the charact-
or outlined, and IL is said that State
department officials fear that a spread
OF hysteria may engender general up-
rising. II such should be the result.
there is danger that the government
might not be able to control the stun
ton. American and other foreign in
terests then win be jeopardized. So
great Is the concern that diplomatic

FARMS UNDER WATER.
Sacramento River Never Known to
Be So High Before.

Sacramento, Gail, March 22.-Fron
all down-river points come alarming
news that the Sacramento river is high
or than ever known, and that the sat
uaiion all along the levees is appalling
There il already suffering and every
able bodied man ia assisting in the fight
against the water that ia pouring into
the breaches and inundating thousands
Of acres OF the finest farming land in
the state.
Special dispatches 10 the Union from
Freeport, Courtland Walnut Grove
and Franklin state that the river has
reached the highest stage ever recorded,
and IL Is predicted that the terrible
scenes witnessed during the trernen-
dous foods Of 1904 will be surpassed.
Standing on the levee near CORTLAND
one may see for go miles to the south
east across an unbIoken sea OF water
which extends clear to Stockton.
Thousands OF cattle are being shelter
ed on top Of the leyees, as there Is nc
other place for them, and II the water
does not fall soon an indescribable con-
dition of'disaster lie considered newt
able.
This morning the blockade on the
Southern Pacific lines was made com
plete, when the line TO the East was
made helpless by washout Of 200 feet
of track at Apologize, but during the
afternoon the situation changed for the
better when, with the report that the
Applepate washout had been repaired,
came another stating that ii was ex-
pected the track would soon be open
through to Stockton.
A trestle was placed in the gap at
the Apologize washout this afternoon
md more trains were dispatched East.
One OF these, Portland train, will be
'ent to Utah and via the Oregon Short
Line. The Placerville line is in full
commission again, but no trains are
operated on the Marysville branch fur
her than Wheatand.
On the Portland line no trains are
beyond Redding, the tracks be-
ng out at Keswick, Campbell and Ken
ett, and it is not expected that travel
an be resumed beyond Redding for at ,.
east ten days.

AFTER BIG ONES.
lhavor schnIlx and Boss Roef May
Go Free if They Tell Al.


San Francisco, March 20.--Followini
the wholesale confession of members o
the board OF supervisors before ths
grand Jury yesterday, there was 8
scramble today of bribetakers anc
bribegiyers to get from under. Ths
rush to Heney's Office began with dawn
and continued far into the night.
| The greater part Of the volunteer
army was turned away, but few who
were able to throw new light on some
OF the bribery scandals were allowed to
pour forth their tales OF degradation.
1t may be stated at the outset In pos-
tive terms that District Attorney Lang
con and Assistant District Attorney
Heney will grant immunity to those
supervisors who hare confessed. 1t
may also be stated that every member
Of the original board, with possibly two
exceptions, have confessed.
With equal positiveness it may be
stated thatsthe ultimate object OF the
prosecution is not the conviction OF
Mayor schmitz and Abe Ruef. III
Schmitz and Ruef will reveal the full
details Of their nefarious transactions
and make conviction of the millionaire
bribegivers doubly cure, they will eth
er be pardoned after conviction or will
be allowed to go free.
Should they refuse to confess the evil
dence at hand will be used against
them, and it is sufficient TO send them
both to Jail for the rest Of their lives.
Convictions can be obtained against
Ruef which will result in a total pen
atty Of 800 years. Each time Ruef
birbed supervisor he laid the founda-
ion for fresh indictment, and he
Dlibed Is OF them time and time again.
