HENEY IS BEATEN.
San Francisco Turns Down ReformeI
for District Attorney.

San Francisco, Nov. 3.-After three
years of a reform government which
followed the sensational bribery graft
disclosures in the Ruef -Schmitz union
labor administration of 1906-07, partial
returns from yesterdays municipal
election up to midnight indicate that
the city has again chosen union labor
administration by the election of P.
H. Mccarthy for mayor and Charles
NJ. F'ickert for district attorney. Op-
posed to Fickert was Francis J. Heney,
who attained national fame as govern
ment prosecutor in the famous land
fraud cases in Portland, and who for
three years has conducted the dramatic
bribery graft prosecutions in this city,
which have become historic. Mr..
Heney's defeat apparently is decisive,
the vote for him running behind both
Crocker and Leland.

NATIONAL REVENUE BOOMS.
Income Fast Catching UP With Uncle
Sans Expenses.

Washington, Nov. 5.-A working bal
ance in the treasury much the same as
month ago-a little less than $31 ,000,-
000-a balance in the general fund of
$S9, ,07S, or approximately $6,00Q,00O
less than month ago, the ordinary
disbursements overrunning the ordinary
receipts by 81 ,923 3,S95, and an aggregate
debt which decreased 1895, ,544, are some
of the features shown by the treasury
statement for October.
Treasury officials say the statement
was gratifying. The customs and in
ternal revenue receipts are booming.
The aggregate debt of the United
States is $2,661 ,425,30l. Deducting
notes and certificates, the regular inter
est and noninterest bearing debt is
81 ,295, ,147 ,432.
Customs receipts for October were
29,27S,695, which brings receipts SO
far this fiscal year to S9,36l 1916. In.
ternal revenue receipts are approxi-
mately $24,000,000.
Ordinary receipts SO far this fiscal
year run ahead of the same period last
year by almost 2S,0O0,000, while mis-
cellaneous receipts for the same period
outdo last year by almost $l3,000,000.
OF disbursements for the month, civil
and miscellaneous reached $35,37S,704;
war, $25, 5,lS9, 500; navy, $9,9S1, 1922; In
dian, $l,627,9l6; pensions, l1,S5O,221;
postal deficiency, $3,3976l2; interest on
public debt, $3,270,216; and repayment

TARIFF WAR BEGINS.
France Fires First Shot at New Amer
ican Duty Law.

lean Duty Law.
Washington, Nov. 2.-France's Row.
land for Americas Oliver is the action
of the Paris government in putting in
effect yesterday the maximum tariff
against goods coming from the United
States. 1t did not surprise treasury
officials.
Ever since notice was given to Paris
that the reciprocity agreement with
lantic so far as the two governments
were concerned would expire at the
end of October, this government has
been anticipating the step taken at
Paris.
This government cannot directly
meet the French maximum until next
spring, but the question of what to do
has been canvassed.
Sparkling wines seem to be the most
vulnerable point, for officials here do
not assume that this is the beginning
of tariff war of itself. A jump from
Sc to $3.50 per dozen in the duty on
champagne, which is what the restora-
tion of regular tariff rates means at
the United States ports. and the unoffi-
cial talk of prospective substantial
raising of that figure to the American
maximum when the opportunity comes
on March 81, next, have not helped
French sentiment toward the United
States.
1t was hardly to be expected, as
treasury officials view it, that France
would figuratively "sit idly BY"

AEROGRAM AT 1906 MILES.
Pacific Mail Liner Korea Hangs. Up
Wireless Record.

San Francisco, November s. The
wireless record was again broken
by the Pacific Mail liner Korea Tues
day night, when message from her
1906 miles distant was clearly received
here on the summit of Russian Hill.
A message was received last week at
a distance of $500 miles. The latest
message was as follows:
"November 2, s P. NJ, 2,205 miles
west of Honolulu. In touch with Japan
tonight. All well.-Korea.
This message was also caught by the
government wireless plant in Barralon
Islands, 40 miles outside the Golden
Gate.
The distance covered to and from
the Korea is LOO miles farther than
the distance covered by the Marconi
system on the Atlantic, and Marconi
is said to operate with a so kilowatt
plant. The Korea's plant is a kilo
watt.
The message came direct and in un
mistakable dots and dashes.

GRAIN SLIPS FROM CANADA.
Dominion Sends Wheat to America for
Shipment Abroad.

Montreal, Nov. 5.-Freignt rates have
brought about curious situation in
connection with the shipment Of grain
from Canada to England. Despite the
large increase in the grain output from
the Canadian West, Montreal is get
ting less of the grain freight trade
than it has had in recent years.
The explanation is that freight rates
from Boston to Liverpool are one and
one half cents per bushel cheaper than
from Montreal to Liverpool and that
though the extra cost of transportation
of the grain from the Canadian West
to Boston brings the total cost Of
freight from the wheat fields to Eng
land to pa cents in each case, the
insurance on the freight from Boston
is less than one-third of that on grain
on the Montreal route outward bound.
In other words, American ports are
getting Montreal's grain export trade
because the insurance rates on grain
cargoes from those ports are about 70
per cent less than those on such freight
fl ON Montreal.

STORM KEEPS UP
IN COAST STATES
Swollen Streams Are Causing Much
Damage to Property.
Logging Industry Suffers the Greatest

Floating Out to Sea, Menacing
Shpping-Rains in South Have
Greatly Delayed Trains.

Portland, Nov. 4.-The Pacific North.
west, from the British Columbia line
south to the SlskIyou Mountains, and
from the Cascades west to the ocean,
has been in the grasp of rain storm
for four days.
The prolonged precipitation has Gre
ated Hood conditions in many of the
rivers, but the damage so far has been
largely confined to the logging indus
try The Willamette, Columbia, Lewis,
Cowlitz, Chehalis, Washougal, Satsop,
Wynoche, Puyallup, White, Stuck and
other rivers are all at high-wate stage
and several of them have overfowed
their banks.
The Chehalis River and its tributar-
les are iammed with logs and are car
rying many of them into Grays Har-
Dor and out to sea. The White River,
III King County, Washington, has al
ready overfiowed its banks, and work
men are blasting out driftwood OBJ
structions in the Puyallup River in the
fear that that stream will overflow the
lowlands and cause great property dam
age.
The Lewis River, in Southern Wash
ington, is out of its banks and threat
ems to cut a new channel through val.
uable farm lands. One county bridge
has gone out on the kalama River and
part of the steel work Of a new bridge
in Cowlltz County, Washington, has
been washed out.
In the Siskiyous the heavy rains
have caused a cave-in Of a tunnel on
the Southern Pacific and all trains from
San Francisco are from - to IA hours
late as result of the necessary trans
fer.
Conditions moderated to large ex-
tent during the "a hours ending at 5
o clock last night. During that period
.Gl inches of rain fell. The wind mod
Grated down to 10 miles an hour at the
North Head station. The barometer
was rising rapidly last night and fair
weather is promised for today.
News was received in Portland yes
terday that 100000 feet of logs and
100000 feet of ties had broken from
the boom sticks in the Lewis River and
were drifting seaward in the Columbia
Pilots were warned to keep sharp
lookout, and the floating logs are a
serious menace to navigation. With
the slackening of the rainfall the trib-
utaries Of the Lower Columbia will be-
gin to subside by tonight. Boats are
working below the mouth of the Cow
litz picking up the drift.
