NOW UP TO THE HOUSE.
National Drainage Bill May Become a

Washington, May 4-Friends of
the national drainage bill are very
much encouraged by reason of the
fact that that measure has passed
the senate, and been referred to the
house committee on public lands.
While there is very little time left
for its consideration in the house,
there is a slight possibility that 1t
might get through the lower branch
of congress before adjournment, but
this will only be possible in the
event that there Is general support
of the measure, both in committee
and in the house. If there is as
much difference of opinion in the
house as prevailed in the senate, the
bill will probably go over to the
next session.
tional drainage fund, similar to the
national reclamation act, providing
that all moneys received from the
sale Of public lands in states not con-
tributing to reclamation fund shall
be utilized in draining swamp and
overflowed lands. The drainage fund
will be small in comparison to the
reclamation fund, for the bulk OF
the receipts from land sales Is util-
lied for irrigation. However, the
cost of reclaiming desert lands, and
one dollar in the drainage fund will
go as far as five dollars in the re-
fund.

Indian Village at Rose Festival.

Portland, Ore, May &c. A.
Mount, general agent of the o. r.
& N. at Lewiston, Idaho, is arrang-
ing to bring to Portland for an ex-
tended stay band of rs braves
from the Nez Perce reservation, the
Indians to be here before June / =,
so that they may participate in sew
eral of the day and night parades
which will form part of the week s
program. The Nez Perces are re-
garded as the most perfect physical
types of any race of Indians still ex-
tant. They will appear here in full
war regalia, on horse back, with all
the gorgeous trappings which have
made the race famous from times
long gone by. Their feats Of horse
are said to excel those Of
any Indians on the Continent. While
in Portland they will live in their
own village which will be located
where the tens of thousands of Wis
itors may at pleasure, witness the
forms, rites and ceremonies of the
Indians, for they will live in their
natural state, while encamped here.

SHIELDED BIG SINNERS,
Attorney Jerome Charged With Fa-
voring High Financiers.

New York, May 2.-Before Com
missioner Hand, who Is hearing evil
dence on charges against District At
torney Jerome, Franklin Pierce,
counsel for the complainants, today
called for the evidence taken by a
grand jury in the Wall and Cortland
street ferries cases, in which Thos.
F. Ryan and II. II. Vreeland testi-
fled.
I'VE contend" said Mr.. Pierce,
that Mr.. Jerome could have gone
before the grand jury with the evil
dence that he had and secured in
dictments. Instead he called Mr..
Ryan before the grand jury and for
ever barred the road to prosecution"
Mr.. Jerome agreed to submit the
evidence privately to the Commits
sioner, with the understanding that
Mr.. Pierce shall not be allowed to
read 1t.
Mr.. Pierce asked for an adjourn
ment until Monday, when he prom
ised to take up Mr. Jerome's investi-
cation of the American Ice Company.
He said Mr.. Jerome investigated the
for half a day and then
turned the investigation against
three or four small independent ice
companies that the American Ice Co.
wanted to smash, and that he ad-
vised that indictments be returned
against them.

DYNAMITE HURLS
TRAIN Off TRACK
Mall Gar Wrecked and Engine Over.
turned at Butte, Mont.
Engineer Killed and Fireman Badly
Scaided- Believed to Be Work of
Hoboes Seeking Revenge for Hav-
ing Been Put Off Of Trains short
Time Previously.

Butte, Mont, May 2.--Eastbound
Burlington train No. 6, due in Butte
at 1880 O'Clock tonight, was dyna-
mited about a mile west of the
Northern Pacific station at 1887
o'clock. The explosion caused the
first or helper engine to leave the
rails, but it plowed along for few
hundred feet without turning over.
The second engine crashed into the
bank south of the track few car
lengths from where the explosion
occurred.
Every person on the train haa
been accounted for excepting En-
neer Bussey, Of the second englne.
who Is supposed to be buried Under
his locomotive. Carl Mango. whn
was riding on the blind baggage.
had to be taken from the mass OF
timbers under which he was buried.
His arm and leg were broken.
Fireman George Ehle, OF the second
engine, was badly scalded.
Both were hurried to the hospital
In the police patrol, which was at
the scene of the wreck, as quickly
as possible after the men were re-
ceived in the city. Locomotive No.
21O0, In charge of Engineer Busy
and Fireman Ehle, is lying on it's
side south of the track.
The mail car, which was right be-
hind II was hurlad on itc ciJa apH
badly wrecked. A cold storage fish
car was next to the mail car, and it
was smashed into kindling wood.
Following the fish car was the ex-
press car Only the front trucks of
the express car left the rails. The
baggage car also remained on the
track.
The general theory of the explo-
sion is that the dynamite was placed
directly on the rails, but it Is impos-
sible to say whether a time fuse or
some sort OF percussion cap was at
,ached to the explosive. Those who
saw the flash agree 1t came from the
south side of the track.
The dynamiting is believed by the
officers to be the work of some hobo
seeking revenge for being elected
rom train.
Express Messenger J. B. Valentine
vas seriously bruised, being badly
ut by flying grenade. His escape
rom death in his car Is considered
The force of the explosion was
errific. According to the crew Of
he first engine the engine was lifted
oddly off the track.
