Balloon Hovers Over Sea.

Los Angeles, Nov. 16.-Because of
unusual atmospheric condition, the
transcontinental balloon race which
was to have started from Los An
geles was a failure. Only the big
balloon America" was sent up, and
it was carried by a steady current
of air south and slightly west and
directly toward the Pacific Ocean.
The other balloon, United States, !"
profited by the example Of its rival
and did not ascend.
But vague and indefinite reports
have been received from the balloon
America since last night, when it was
near the ocean. 1t was said to be
still at a height of 1900 feet in the
air and scarcely moving in any di-
rection.
There is but little likelihood of
the America being blow out to sea,
as Captain Mueller Is believed to be
too experienced an aerial pilot to al
low this to occur with only a light
wind to contend with.

CHICAGO RABBI URGES
THAT JEWS INTERMARRY

Chicago, Nov. 16.-Intermarriage
into other races In violation of ac-
cepted scriptural injunctions and
years of custom was boldly advocated
as a solution of the Jewish problem
by DR.. Emil G. Hirsch. in a sermon
before the Sinai congregation Sun
day morning. The sermon was the
first of series dealing with the in
termarriage of Jews with non-Jews
and the solution of the Jewish prob
lem.
AS the only alternative to inter
marriage DR.. Hirsch offered emigra-
ton and segregation. and the ulti-
mate decline of the Jewish in the
worlds civilization and progress. In
declaring in favor of intermarriage,
the noted Hebrew educator attacked
the racial purity" argument of or
thodox Jewish leaders who oppose
intermarriage, declaring that no such
thing as a distinctive Jewish race ex-
lists and that Wanted racial purity
and unmixed blood is myth.

Pekin, Nov. 16.-The Board of
Foreign Affairs has announced the
death of Tsze Hsi An, the Dowager
Empress of China, autocratic head OF
the government, which she had di-
rected without successful interior
ence since 1861, and without protest
since 1891.
The announcement of the Dow
ager Empress death followed closely
upon the announcement of the death
of Kwang Hsu, the Emperor.
An edict was issued placing upon
the throne Prince Pu VI, the 3-year-
old son Of Prince Chun, the Regent
of the Empire.
The foreign legations were notified
by the Foreign Board of the death
of the Emperor and the succession
of Prince Pu vi. Troops have been

TUGS RESCUE STEAMER
ABOUT TO GO ON ROCKS

Seattle, Nov. 16.-With 60 pas
sengers cheering as only persons can
when snatched from what looked
like certain death, the tug Pioneer
and the Army Quartermaster's tug,
General Evan Thomas, got lines to
the Straits Steamship Company's
steamer Perdita as she was going on
the rocks at Middle Point, near Pro-
lection Island, last evening at 8
O'Clock. When picked up the Per-
dita was within few ship-lengths Of
the rocky shore. A full southeast
gale was blowing.
The Perdita was making her way
up the straits on the run to Seattle
yesterday afternoon when one of the
boiler tubes blew out, leaving her in
a helpless condition. She was sight
ed and word sent to Port Townsend.
The Thomas and the Pioneer were
at once sent to the rescue, but did
not pick up with the Perdita until
O'Clock.

any disorders that might arise on
the death of Kwang Hsu. The pos
sibility of uprising was made greater
because of the fact that the death
of the Dowager Empress was known
to be close at hand.
The government has given out
that the Dowager Empress, in a lu-
cid interval, received Prince Ching,
who is a Manchu and a member of
the royal family, and approved the
edicts declaring Prince Pu vi heir
presumptive and Prince Chun Regent
of the empire.

Washington, Nov. 16.-The tenn
porary rollcall of the House of Rep
resentatives of the 61st Congress has
been completed and published. II

members of the new House as shown
by unofficial returns and gives the
politics of all of them. According

172 Democrats, a total of S91, as

gain of six on tine Democratic side,
the discrepancy being due to the
present vacancies. All told the DEM

There seems to be a difference of
opinion among Washington lumbermen
as to the effect the threatenened re-
moval Of the 80 tariff on lumber from
British Columbia would have on the
lumber industry of this state. Some say
it would be ruinous, others contend
that it would make little, if any diff
ference. The majority, however, are
strongly against the removal Of the
duty and will fight to have it retained.
Owners Of Washington timber, they
say could not possibly compete with
British Columbia timbermen, once the
duty was removed. Here is the ar
gument OF one big lumberman OPP
posed to the removal Of the duty:
II congress does remove the tariff
serious blow will be dealt the timber
industry. Instantly such a measure
is ratified stumpage values will shrink.
Stumpage in this state is now worth
from $3.50 to $500, while in British
Columbia timber owners secure Their
timber by paying a so cent lease.
Here millions OF dollars are invested in
timber, while there a relatively small
sum is tied up. With practically moth
ing invested in their timber, one can
readily understand how Canadians will
hold the whip hand over the timber
men in the states who have fortunes
invested.
II can see how possibly few lum-
Der manufacturers who own no timber
might profit by removal Of the tariff.
But nearly all Of the large millmen ano
many of the smaller ones own theil
own timber"

SEATTLE NEWS ITEMS

The King county delegation to the
state legislature cannot come to an
understanding as to which member it
wishes to indorse for speaker, with the
result that if King county man lands
the place it will be without the united
support Of his delegation. The local
option issue is the one over which the
members cannot agree. The Anti
Saloon league, which has framed up
what is generally conceded to be cinch
local option measure for consideration
at the hands Of the coming Legislature,
has lot Of influence with some of the
members Of the King county body and
1t does not want any man supported
for speaker of the House who is not
in thorough sympathy with its rigid
bill. E. B. Palmer, who wants to be
speaker, voted for local option bill
when Mcbride was governor and says
he strongly favors one now. But he
refused to tell the Anti-Saloon League
that he favored its particular measure.
Hence the League threw its influence
against him and that split the delega-
ton. Palmer says he does not want
to vote for bill that will injure the
commercial interests of the city. He
does not, for instance want to support
a measure that would give the local
optionists chance to put the New
Washington Hotel Of Seattle, the
Tacoma Hotel Of Tacoma, or the Spo-
kane Hotel of Spokane out Of business.
The fight for the speakership will
probably be continued by Palmer de-
spite the fact that he is not the united
choice Of Kings delegation.

Seattle's school district has a school
election shortly and the women OF the
city propose to have a candidate.
While the question Of Woman's Suf-
frage is not openly at issue it is well
known that the prominent Suffragists
OF the city are back Of the movement
and they have the support of the State
Organization. Several of the news
papers OF the county take kindly to the
proposition and the Seattle Star editori-
ally supports the movement, declaring:
THE school system needs the femi-
nine touch; the womanly care for the
little things that masculine minds con-
slider trivial. The school is an annex
to the home, supplementing it along
special lines and no one disputes the
woman's right to rule in the home.
It would only be the logical and proper
thing to give her at least a minority
representation on that body which
governs the school,"
The suffragists of the state believe
that if they can succeed in landing
a member OF the local Board of Edu-
cation it will go a great way towards
helping their fight for Woman's Rights
at the coming session of the state
Legislature.

RESULT IN INDIANA
QUITE A SURPRISE
Radical Change in Congress-
ionaI Representation.

Indianapolis, Nov. 5.-A radica
| change in Indiana's representation in
i rhe national house of representatives
was the most striking feature of the
election. The latest unofficial returns
complete give the Democratic party
!, eleven members and the Republicans
| two. This is gain of seven mem.
bers for the Democrats. the former
representation being nine Republicans
and four Democrats.
William III. Taft carried the state
for president, according to incomplete
returns, by about 5000.
Thomas R. Marshall and the entire
Democratic state ticket are probably
elected by a plurality around $1,000.
AS the returns come slowly rolling in
Marshall's plurality increases while
the vote on the Republican national
ticket decreases. |
The state legislature is probably
Democratic, which means that Dem
ocratic successor to Senator James
A, Hemenway will be chosen. In this
connection the name of John w. Kern
Is mentioned.
The defeat of Congressman Jesse
Overstreet and Charles B. Lands, who
were regarded as fixtures in the lower

quite surprise.

RESULT IN NEBRASKA.
Democrats Won Sweeping Victory
In That State.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 5.-Returns On
far from complete, are sufficiently def
mite to confirm and emphasize the
first report that the Democrats have
made sweeping victory in Nebraska.
While the pluralitiss for the victorious
party are not phenomenally large,
they are complete, the state ticket and
candidates for congress in mest ia
stances running parallel with Bryan,
who was expected to lead the ticket
by several thousand. Complete re-
turns from a third of the. counties and
scattering returns from most Of the
remainder show that Bryan will have
a plurality of not less than 10000 and
Shallenberger, Democratic candidate
for governor, and the balance of the
Democratic ticket will have hardly q
thousand less. -.-.
But the Democratic victory does not
stop there. At least four or probably
five of Nebraskas SIX congressman
are Democratic, only one. Republican,
finshaw, in the Fourth district, being
assured of escaping defeat. Nearly
complete returns from every county
in the Fourth district show that Hin
shaw has won by nearly TOO votes, al
though his district gave Bryan a plu-
rality. There is close fight In the
Fifth district between Norris, Rep,
and Ashton, Dem, with the chances
favoring the Democrat. Not enough
returns have heen received from the
Sixth to base an estimate, but the
trend of the district is Democratic.
The greatest surprise of all is the
overwhelming majority the Democrats
will have in the legislature.
