No Change for Better In Condition Of

London, March 16.-The bulletin is
sued today concerning the condition of
Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman. the
premier, which makes especial refer
ence to the considerable weakness of
the patient, has caused a renewal of
the anxiety concerning his health. The
heart trouble of the premier is so pro-
nounced that his physicians up to the
present time have not been able to re-
store this organ to its normal activity.
There are still great hopes that Sir
Henry will recover his health but it is
recognized by his friends that the
premier never again will be a strong
man and all idea that he might resume
active leadership in the House of Com
mons now has been abandoned.

CAPITAL CHAT.
Maine Men in Congress
from the West.
New Eng|and's at The Front
in Western Politics.
Many Washington Visitors from the
Pine Tree State.

Washington, D. c., March 16.-(Spe-
ciaD.-New England men, which of
course, includes Maine men. keep forg-
| ing to the front in connection with
| many events at the Capitol. AS an ex-
ample, when Speaker Cannon an
| nounccd the other day the names of
a special committee to investigate the
| submarine boat scandals, it was taken
| for granted that the Republican men,
hers were all from outside of New
England. On the contrary two of them,
representatives. Henry sherman Bou-
tell of Chicago and Frederick c. Stev-
ems Of st. Paul are both Yankees to
the very marrow and both are we'll
known in Maine.
Mr.. Stevens is almost a native of
Maine, although he was born in Bos-
ton. He lived in the State for many
years. his people were natives of
Maine and he graduated from Bowdoin
College. He has returned to the Pine
Tree State frequently since he settled
in the West Mr.. Boutell, who is chair
man of the investigating committee, is
a Massachusetts man by birth, but has
spent a lot of time in Maine, where he
has pursued his favOrite diversion of
discovering quaint epitaphs.
With the development of the Western
states and the growth of a native pop
ulation, it has been claimed that East
ern inen would become less and less
prominent in the politics of their
adopted homes. But this appears to be
true only to a degree. A few native
sons are now coming to the Senate and
House from Iowa, Minnesota Wiscon-
sin, California. Oregon and adjacent
states. Nevertheless the crop of East
ern born men, who have gone West
and attained influence in politics, does
not die out. Every little while a new
Maine man comes to Congress from
some Western constituency, as was
the case at the beginning of the pres
ent Congress, when Representative
Frank Nye, native of Shirley, Me-,
and a brother of the late "Bilr' Nye,
took his seat as the member from the
Minneapolis district which was long
REPRESENTED by Loren Fletcher of Mt.
Vernon, Me. There are quite as many
Maine natives in the Senate and House
at this time as there has ever been in
the last 25 years. AS much is true of
the natives of New Hampshire and
Massachusetts.
While New England people are very
proud of the prominence of their sons
in politics of Western states, they have
little more reason to feel that way than
should some of the Southern states. Pos
siblv there is no state in the Union whose
sons are more generously represent
ed in the politics of the country than
Virginia. OF course n big majority Of
the men in Virginia are Democrats and
therefore Virginians born come back here
chiefly as the Democratic senators and
representatives. But there also are many
Virginia Republicans, who have gone in
to the states of the Middle and Far West
and been elected to important offices.

NOTHING VERY CONCLUSIVE
Shown In Mondays Evidence In Eiel
trio Boat Cos. Hearing.

Washington, March ia admission
was made today before the special
House committee investigating the
charges of Lilley of Connecticut re-
garding the methods of the Electric
Boat Co. that money had been paid by
the Electric Boat Co. to certain news
paper men to prepare and distribute
news concerning submarine boats. This
testimony was given by Charles s. Nc
Neir of this city, an attorney for the
Electric Boat Co
Mr.. McNeir, however, entered a CELL
eral denial that his company had ever
paid for the dissemination of news
with the purpose of influencing legis-
lation or for creating wrong impress
sion in the public mind. He also de-
MED that a general press bureau was
maintained by the Electric Co, or that
as far as he knew, the company had
ever spent any money for the enter
tainment of members of Congress, or
others who might exert an influence in
securing contracts with the govern
ment for it's boats
A number of other witnesses We're
examined during the day and they en-
tered general denials to Lilley's
charges. These witnesses were: For
mer United States Senator NJ c. But
Ter of South Carolina; Former United
States Senator Marion Butler of North
Carolina and E. w. Creecy and F. p.
B. Sands, both of this city, all of whom
at one time or another had been en-
ployed as attorneys for the Electric Co.

. $4,000 Suit
After AZ Years.

Portland, Me-. March 16-A hearing ii
the suit for $4,000 against the United
States government for the loss of the
brig Olive Francis in a collision with the
gunboat Winooski Il years ago was be-
gun before Judge Hale of the United
States district court in chambers today
A special act of Congress granting per.
mission to legally bring the suit was
passed. Mrs. Sarah NJ. Pennell, admins.
tratriX. of Machias is one of the claim
ants.
The collision occurred a. minutes after
midnight on the night of July 80. 1866 4C
miles off the coast of Nova Scotia. Real
Admiral Casey. retired. was a lieutenant
on the Winooski at the time and he
among n number of others furnished a
deposition which was handed to the
court today.
George +. Bird of this city in arguing
for the petitioners stated that those on
board the brig did not hear any whistle
nor see any lights aboard the gunboat
and that when the bow of the eunboat
struck the brig the latter filled inme-
diatcly and the crew were obliged to go
aboard the gunboat. a large number of
letters and atfdavits and the ships logs
were introduced.
District Attorney Whitehouse asserted
that the lights were burning on the gun
boat, that the watches were on duty and
that she was proceeding moderately on
account Of q fog. He said that when

the engines were stopped and the brig in
stead of swinging to starboard TO avoid
the accident came up to port.

been arrested. The impression at the
legation is that these are the persons
who were shot Sunday. 1t is not be-
llevcd at The state department that
foreign interests in Hayti are seriously
menaced.
The disposition of the administ "a ion
is to keep hands off and give the peo-
pie of Hayti another chance to work
out their own salvation. 1t is realized
that in dealing with revolutionary
movements stern repressive measures
often are necessary and the impression
here is that it is not the part of the
American government to interfere with
the acts of our neighbors unless the
situation is such that other interests
are in jeopardy.
Most Of the revolutionary refugees
in Hayti are in the French consulate
at Gonaires. where in addition to Gen.
Firmin there are about rs native Hay
items seeking shelter. The Haytier
government is anxious that these men
shall be required to quit the country
but the friends of the refugees are OPP
posed to sending them away The gov
eminent believes that if they are per-
mitted 20 remain it will not be long
before they will be engaged in another
revolutionary movement.
Ambassador Sternberg of Germany,
who has just returned from a trip to
Cuba, was at the state department late
this afternoon, but his mission was to
seek information of the conditions in
Hayti so far as the state department
was in possession of it,

AMERICAN WAR SHIP
ON THE Way TO HAYT|,,
Report Of Execution Of Alleged Revo+
utioniStS Causes Government at Wash
ington to Take Precautionary Steps.

Washington, March 16.-An American
war vessels, probably the gunboat
Eagle, is now on the way from Guam
tanamo to Port Au Prince, Hayti
where the Haytien government yester-
day summarily executed a number of
alleged reyolutionists. The vessel is not
sent there because Of any serious APP
prehension on the part of the officials
here that American interests at Port
Au Prince or at, any other points in
Hayti are in serious danger, but as
n matter of precaution. The decision to
send a war vessel was reached today
after the officials had read the newspa-
per accounts of the executions. supple
mented by the information which the
state department received from the is
land.
1t is asserted that General Firmn,
the Haytien revolutionary leader. now
a refuge in the French consulate at
Gonaives, is at the head of another
revolutionary movement against the
authorities and it is believed that the
shooting of the Haytiens at Port Au
Prince is the direct result of the dis
covery of this fact The statement that
Gen. Firmin was fomenting another
revolutionary movement is made in a
dispatch received here by Mr.SLegger,
the Haytien minister.
The dispatch said in effect that let
tiers from Firmin to Haytiens in Port
Au Prince had been intercepted by the
government and that II persons to
whom these letters were directed had

SMALL APPROPRIATION.
Reported for Fortifications, Instead Of
Big One Asked.

Washington, March 16.-The fortifl-
cations bill. carrying a total appropri-
alton of $S,21O,611 instead of the $685.
1926 asked for by the war depart
ment, was reported today to the House
committee on appropriations by Chair
man Smith, of the subcommittee on
Notifications. The subcommittee felt,
aside from other considerations that
to recoElmend a appropriation of $685.
100000 for Notifications at this time
would be an action which might be
very reasonably construed by Japan
as an official declaration that the
United States was preparing against
a war with that nation.
The amount recommended by the
committee is larger than any which
has been annually appropriated since
the Spanish American war The cut
ting down of the departments cs
Inmates by $50, 1874 means among
other things. that the committee has
recommended practically nothing for
continental United States and has APP
propriated mainly for the Hawaiian
and Philippine islands. The committee
has turned down entirely the depart
ment's proposals for the Notifications
Of Manila harbor by the construction
and fertilization of an artificial island
and nothing is carried for Subig bay

Floods In the Northwest
the Worst In Years.
loWlands Flooded, Bridges De-
stIoyed and Trains Delayed.
Communication by Rail HsId Up.
Worst n Walla Walla, linn

Portland. Ore, March 16.--Not In
many year have 50 many points in
the Pacific Northwest all at the same
time faced such serious damage from
flood as today. AS a result Of heavy
rains every rivelet is a roaring torrent
and every river q lake. Bridges have
been washed out or inundated 50 rail-
road tracks are under water and when
traffic is not delayed by these rlsas-
ters huge landslides block the way.
The most serious reports come from
Walla Walla. Mill creek. which flows
through that city. nearly every winter
goes on rampage but at present II
is outdoing previous records and has
caused wholesale destruction.
Next in point Of seriousness is the
situation at Fendleton. Although the
levees built after last years fioodssare
still holding. there Is fear that they
are becoming undermined. In this case
the town will suffer serious damage.
In Lewiston, Iowa county, railroad
tracks are deep under water and
bridges washed out. Many families
have been driven from the lowlands.
The Touchet and Patti rivers have
washed out the city dixie at Dayton;
Wash.
In western Washington the rivers
around Seattle and Tacoma are stili
rising but little damage has resulted so
far.
The Willamette river and It's tributa-
ries are running like a mill race above
Salem, but no damage has resulted.
The railroads as usual are among the
principal sufferers. The worst of these
is the Oregon Railroad and Naviga-
ton Union Pacific system-which has
not been able to send q train through
for the past SO hours. This road is
blocked principally by heavy landslides
east and west of Pendleton.
Train service in the neighborhood Of
Walla Walla and from Lewiston north
is at a standstill.
The Northern Pacific suffered to
some extent from slides in the western
part of Washington.
The prospects today are that condf-
tons throughout the three states will
be worse instead of better. According
to the last forecast a new storm which
made it's appearance off Vancouver Is
land Sunday morning is now moving
across the Pacific Northwest and will
cause general rains throughout the dis
trict.
