RUPTURE POINT NEAR;
PRESIDENT Is WORRIED

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. FL.
before since the trouble
between the people of San Fran
cisco and the Japanese residents
of that city arose over the school
question has the rupture point be-
tween America and the Japanese
government been 30 near as 1t is
at present.
That this is the view taken of
the situation by President Roose-
welt became known today in Of
fetal circles. The president IL
actually gravely concerned over
the matter. He no longer con-
ceals his feelings. 1t is known
that he. foresees, in the event that
the California legislature enacts
anti-Japanese 3 legislation, the
gravest kind of consequences.
He expressed the hope today
that the legislators would live up
to their promise to take no action
in the near future concerning
measures against the mikado's
subjects.

MUCH DAMAGE
IS DONE BY
VOLCANO

MANILA, Jan. 21.-Reports of
the volcanic disturbances in Tay-
abas province were confrmed to-
day by q dispatch from Lucena,
which says that great damage has
been done to the crops. Most of
the losses, however, were caused
by floods following the volcanic
explosion, which loosed the waters
Of a large mountain lake.
The Lucena volcano is still in
eruption.

MAR()ONEO
by HIGH
WATER
Many Northwest Towns
Are Cut Off BY Floods
Trains Are
Delayed.

Throughout the Pacific North
west, particularly in the Inland
Empire, many towns are today
marooned by high water caused
by melting snow and rains, and
railroad traffic, in some instances,
is paralyzed.
Northern Pacific trains, which
were held up yesterday in the vi
cinity of Pasco and Palouse, were
ready to come through last night
but another terrific downpour' OF
rain during the night caused the
creeks to rise, water flowed over
the tracks of the main line and
caused several washouts.
At the office of Superintendent
Palmer in this city today word
was received at IL o'clock that
repairs had again been made and
that the trains from the East
would be started at noon. 1t Is
expected they will come through
all right now.
There Is no trouble In the west
ern part of the state at all and
the tracks are considered safe.
A dispatch from Portland says
that reports from Pullman and
Colfax are to the effect that the
waters Of the Palouse river have
made new channels through those
two cities and In the Columbia
river gorge the fee is piled 80 high
that 1t Is even with the basaltic
bluffs. At Salem the Willamette
river is 20 feet high and the YAM
hill river is 40 feet above low
water at McMinnville and still
rising.
The Madison street bridge at
Portland is In danger of being
carried away by the rushing wat
ers Of the Willamette. Washouts
have delayed all trains on the
branch lines running from the o.
Il. & N.
Much trouble is being expert
enced by telegraphic and telephone
companies in maintaining their
services. Telegraph wires between
Portland and California are down
and news from the latter state Is
being re-routed by way of Chicago
and vice versa.
Big Slide.
A report from Seattle says that
between there and Everett on the
Great Northern there is a slide two
miles in length. The Great North
ern coastwise is using the North
ern Pacific tracks via Snohomish.
Between Everett and Bellingham
both the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern are cripped by
washouts. No eastern, northern
or southern mails have been re-
ceived since 10 o'clock last night.
Much Track Gone.
High water at Odessa, Wash,
has washed out the Great North
ern tracks and roadbed for near
ly a half mile and all roadbeds
In Eastern Washington are In bad
shape.
It was learned this afternoon
that the Northern Pacific tracks
have been washed out at Sprague,
WASH, and all traffic from Spo-
kane west has been blocked.
