HAPPENINGS GATHERED IN AND
AROUND WASHINGTON D. 6.
ENLARGE MINIDOKA TRACT.
Government Withdraws More Snake
River Land.

Washington, Oct. 22.-The Mindoka
irrigation project looks SO good to gov
ernment officials that they are making
preliminary surveys with view to ma
terialy enlarging the irrigation area on
the north side of Snake river. AS far
as they have progressed these prelimi-
nary surveys have been entirely salts
factory, so satisfactory that the secre-
tary of interior recently withdrew from
all forms of entry 10000 acres of land
on the north bank of Snake river Just
east of Shoshone falls. The Withdrawn
land lies in townships Z, 8 and 9 south,
ranges IS, 10 and 20 east If it shall
be later determined to irrigate this land,
its withdrawal will prevent speculative
entries.
The examinations .low under way
are not only with regard to the posi-
bility of carrying water onto this land,
but also as to the possibilities of in
creasing the amount of water in Snake
river for irrigation purposes through
construction of storage works on the
headwaters of Snake river and its trib-
utarieS.

Manila, Oct. 22,-Belated reports in
dicatc that the storm of October IL in
the Cagayan valley was the worst and
most destructive within the memory
of living inhabitants of the valley The
official figures are not yet available

OKLAHOMA UNDER WATER.
Torrents of Ram Swell Rivers and
Flood Country.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Oct. 23.-Seri-
our floods threaten portions of central
and northern Oklahoma, the result of
steady downpour of rain that has pre-
vailed for the past three days, and is
still continuing. In some portions the
rainfall has amounted almost to the pro
portions Of a cloudburst. Numerous
reports of loss of life, made yesterday,
are unconfirmed, and they are believed
to be without foundation. No single
report of loss of life has been verified.
At Tulsa and vicinity the Arkansas
has risen ten feet in the "a hours ended
yesterday morning and was then still
coming up. This brought the stream
to within three feet of the highest stage
reached in the flood of last spring.
Many farms around Tulsa were flooded,
and farmers and their families were
compelled to move out. The town of
West Tulsa is threatened with inunda,
ton.
In the vicinity of Perry last night all

WAR CLOUDS THREATEN.
Situation in Balkans Far from Being
Peaceably Settled.

Paris, Oct 22.-The feeling in French
government circles is distinctly nerv
GUS, both with regard to the situation
in the Balkans and the proposed inter
national congress. Advices are that
the Turkish government is impatient
because Bulgaria has failed to present
an official communication since Tur
key received the French assurance il
the name of Emperor Ferdinand, while
from Sofia comes information that the
Malinoff cabinet still refuses to accept
the advice of Ferdinand, who advocates
a peaceful settlement and insists that
it would lie preferable to go to wal
than to pay an indemnity.
Until the Bulgarian ministry yields
definitely it is considered by the of
ficials of the French government that
the danger of war has not been dis
PEELED.
Reports current in Paris that Baron
Won Bieberstein, the German ambassa'
dor at Constantinople has been coun
selling war, while not confirmed, caused

RAISE FUND FOR CHINESE.
Countrymen in Victoria Get News of
Loss of Crops by Floods.

Victoria, B. c., Oct. 21.-Local Chi
nese have received cablegrams telling
of heavy loss of life and great desola-
ton of Yannan and Helping, China, as
result of the breaking of the dykes
and overflow of the West river, inun-
dating the district for a hundred miles.
The number of killed is not given, but
the message states that the loss has
been immense, and starvation is feared,
and it appeals to the Chinese abroad to
send aid.
Subscriptions from local Chinese were
made within a short time after the re-
ceipt of the cablegrams, which totaled
$1,000, this amount being cabled to Chi
nese officials at Canton for distribution
among the sufferers. Starvation is eX-
pected to follow, as the disaster comes
at the time of harvest, when the crops
are ready to be taken from the fields.
Half the district is stated to be flooded.

squadron that has preceded the Atlantic
battleship fleet on its voyage around

= SOLDIERS ARE ATTACKED.
Revolutionists Start Guerilla Warfare
on Austrian Troops.

London, Oct. 23.-Open warfare has
been in progress in Bosnia and Her
zegovna for 10 days, and scores have
been killed, according to information
brought here yesterday by the Monte
negran agent. More than 100000 Aus,
trian troops have been attacked by in
surrectionists in the annexed territories
and the fighting has been continuous.
So far as is known no pitched battle
has taken place, as the insurrectionists
are greatly outnumbered by the Aus
trians, but their guerrilla tactics have
been very effective.
The situation is so serious that the
Austrial government has rushed rein
forcements to the aid of the border
troops. Through strict censorship, the
agent said, the Austrial government has
suppressed all reports Of the situation
as it really is. Anarchy exists in the
eastern and southern sections of the
annexed territory.
The Montenegran agent came here
yesterday to investigate closely the ex-
act situation with a view to learning
what course England will pursue in the
event that Servia and Montenegro de-
clare war on Austria. The agent de.
clares that the action of Austria
amounts to an attempt to terrorize Bos
MIA and Herzegovina into submission
by force of arms. The temper of the
Lo ic Cuoh fhat thaV will
never submit to annexation.
The detention of Envoy Vuketitch by
the Austrian authorities at Agram
tuesday was merely pretext to allow
them to search his baggage, the agent
declared. For this reason, he said, the
apology offered by Austria was not ac.
cepted, and Montenegro will insist upon
the payment of an indemnity.

SEND WATER FROM ALTON.
One Illinois Town Supplies Drouth-
Stricken Sections.

Alton, H., Oct. 23.-The continuous
drouth of more than so days in the in
land towns of Illinois tributary to AL
ton, has forced the residents of that
section to send away for water for
cooking and drinking purposes.
Each day a train of five ears is be
ing sent out from Alton, loaded with
water for the various towns in the
Llighted district Large steel coal ears
have been pressed into service, and are
loaded with $4,000 gallons each. Most
of the water is sent to Gillespie and
Chapman, but others towns receive their
quota.
There is danger, according to Alton
Water company officials, of the supply
being cut off if the Mississippi river
falls much more. The stage of the
stream is lower than it has been before
in 90 years, and the intake pipe of the
company is now only 30 inches under
water. Unless the river rises, Alton
will soon be short of water.

SERVlA IS AROUSED.
People Enraged by Austrian Outrage
on Vukotics.

Belgrade, Oct. 21.--General Vukotics
an official of the Montenegrin govern.
ment, arrived here yesterday at noon
after an extraordinary experience al
Agram, where he was arrested by Aus
tro-Hungarian officials and detained for
several hours. In an interview, the gen.
eral said:
"On my arrival at Agram gendarmes
entered my car, dragged me out and took
me 20 the prefecture of police | was
then searched, and my purse, papers, in
fact, everything | had were taken from
me. My baggage was also completely
ransacked. | game the gendarmerie my
name and explained my status as a spe-
clal envoy to King Peter. | showed
also the passport and safe conduct given
me at the Austro Hungarian legation at
Cettinje, but all to no avail.
ultimately | was permitted to send a
telegram to Baron Won Aehrenthal, the
Austro-H Hungarian minister of foreign
affairs complaining of the treatment ac-
corded me, which was in violation of in
ternational usage. After considerable
delay an order arrived from Vienna in
structing the police to release me, and
this was done
Il was detained at the police station
for seven hours, and, as | lost my train
connection, my journey was delayed al
together fourteen hours"
This occurrence ras aroused again a
bitter feeling toward Austria Hungary
on the part of the Servians, and the peo-
pie are greatly excited.
The general is the hero of the mo-
ment in Belgrade. A great crowd of
students and others gathered in front
of his hotel yesterday afternoon, and
when the general entered his carriage to
drive to the palace the students unhar-
messed the horses and dragged the We
hicle through the streets themselves.
Meanwhile the mob shouted its approval
Of King Peter and Prince Nicholas and
cursed Austria.

CONTEST LAND PATENTS.
Nevada Miners Will Attack Southern
Pacific Land Grant.

Reno, New, Oct. 22.-Colonel Win
field Scott Prosky, mining man own
ing property in number of districts,
yesterday announced that on January
; next the statute of limitations will
have applied to the patents granted six
years ago to the Southern Pacific to a
large area of mineral land extending
from Winnemucca to the Nevada Cali
forna line and affecting rights of hun
drcds of prospectOrs and miners.
The men have been patiently waiting
for number of years, thinking a de
cision in the one case decided would
similarly affect them all. Now it is
discovered that each disputant must
file separate protest to establish his
right. The railroad company hoped
this would be overlooked. However,
every effort will be made by the de
partment at Washington to give all
claimants an opportunity to present
their cases and have a hearing.

was not guilty of intoxication, but was
guilty of disrespect to his superior Of

was that he shall lose $50 numbers
