WASHINGTON, D. C., March 8.
Bourne said today he proposes
standing BY John c. Young, his can
didate for the Portland postmaster
ship. Probably no appointment will
be made before March IS, although
the decision Of the department and
of the President will likely be reach
ed sooner than that.
Although Senator Bourne an-
nounces that he will continue to
stand by Young, and that there will
be no recess appointment of a new
postmaster for Portland, those who
consider they know the game assert
that Young cannot be appointed, un-
less he waits couple of years.
While Bourne has the right to name
the postmaster for Portland, there
is combination in the Senate, the
Aldrich-Hale crowd who are uniting
with Postmaster General Hitchcock
in playing politics, This combina-
tion is taking a keen delight in pre-
venting Bourne from naming his
postmaster This attitude Of the
combine is not because John w.
Mimic, present incumbent, is desired,
but because Bourne wants someone.
1t is even asserted that should Bourne
withdraw the name of Young and
submit that of another, or several
Others in succession, they would
meet like fate. The combine wants
to show Bourne that he cannot get
any pie, not even that which by Sena-
torial courtesy he is entitled to cut

Bourne are working to have c. w.

SITUATION At HARDIN
IS MORE HOPEFUL
CHINA'S RIGHTS TO MANcHU-
RIA MUST BE PRESERVED
ACCORDING TO TREATY

WASHINGTON, D. G., March 6.
The diplomatic view OF the situa-
ton Of Harbin where the railroad
companies will try to control the
local affairs were more hopeful
among representative powers having
interests in the Far East and which
are determined that the terms Of the
Portsmouth treaty shall be com
piled with and China's right to Man
churia preserved This feeling is
based on the fact that Russia is adj
vocating the modification of the rail-
road policy and its adoption Of the
foreign Office plan for the govern
ment of all towns in the railroad
zone. The situation is complicated By
reason of the fact that if the railroads
are eliminated from participation in
the local affairs at Manchuria they
would lose much of their prestiage.

Kansas City the greatest traffic coup
in its history. II is understood that
beginning early in May there will
be an interchange in the traffic agree
ment between the Wabash and Union
Pacific lines at Kansas City which
win be Of immense value to each
system. The details Of the tentative
agreement have not yet received the
sanction Of Hartman or Of George
J. Gould, but it is known that II is
proposed 10 interchange traffic well
nigh to exclusion Of all other connec-
tions. The pending agreement may,
in a measure, explain why Hartman
was 50 ready to throw 100000 into
the syndicate which lent Gould $s.-
100000 to save some Of his roads
from bankruptcy.

Plant Burned at an Early
Hour Yesterday Morning
LOSS ESTIMATED At 100000
Damage 10 Practically Covered by
Insurance - Management Declares
Property WIN be Instantly Rebuilt
and Improved TO Greater Ell.eiency

Between the hours OF 4 and &
o'clock yesterday morning the fine
plant Of the Weslport Lumber Com.
pany. at WsS,port, in this county,
suffered FIRE loss aggregating $780,
zoo.
Just how the flames started can
orly be eonjeemree, as two watch
men were In charge Of the premises
on Friday night, one OF them having
punched the record clock At the hour
Of ), and both having made the usual
hali.hour rounds Of the plant. The
presumption, In default Of all signs
leading to any other conclusion, Is
that il was the result OF incendiary
attempt, or from spontaneous COM
bustion. the latter OF course being en-.
tirely hypothetical. as II Is remotely
foreign to all conditions existant
there.
The first news OF the disaster was
brough, to this city, by Mr. D. M.
MeLanc, a citizen Of Wes.port who
arrived here on the noon express.
His tale Of the fire offers no solution
Of the causes. but /, does apportion
great credit TO the mill hands and
the people up there for the celebrity
and efficacy with which they met and
mastered the eonAagration; and II
was 70 their efforts that the loss was
not doubled Of uebled. AS Il was all
the lumber on the runway between
the mills aud the river, some 10000
feet. were destroyed, either wholly,
or in part That the wind was not
blowing was the salvation OF the rest
OF the big establishment.
Clatsop county had contracts with
the Westport concern for about 232,-
900 feet Of bridge and road lumber,
and Judge Trenehard said yesterday.
that practically one'half Of this
amount, In the neighborhood Of li7,-
600 feet, had been delivered on ac-
count,
The schooner Lottie Bennett had
finished leading at the mills on Fri
day evening, and at 2 o'clock yester-
day morning the steamer 0eklahama
came along and picked her up for the
tow 10 this port, she arriving down
here about 2 o'clock, and going to
sea and San Pedro later,
The Morning Astorian got in touch
with the situation as soon as il could
get in telephone communication with
Manager ]. Palmer, who reached the
scene OF loss on the noon train, from
Portland Mr., Palmer said the pow
er house, machine shops and Offices
were saved almost intact; and the
careful scrutiny OF the field indicated
that the loss would not exceed the
sum OF 100000 and that this was
practically covered by insurance,
The manager also gave out the as
sufance that the company would re-
build the plant without any unneccs-
sary delay, and at the same time, in
troduce certain improvements long
contemplated; all Of which has a
cheerful and plucky sound that will

JUDGE MAKES IMPOR-
TANT RULING
LIEN CANNOT BE PUT ON
BUILDING OR TIME GOING
AND COMING.

PORTLAND, March 6.-That a
plumber cannot claim a mechanics
lien for time used in going to and
from his shop to the building on
which work is being done, and is
limited to the time in which he is
actually at work in the building, is
the rule which was established by
Judge Morrow in the Circuit Court
yesterday afternoon at the trial OF the
suit Of ], +. Lynds & Co. against j.
G, Westergard.
Lynds & Co. is firm OF plumbers.
They filled mechanics lien against
Westergard's house for SIS for
plumbing. When the case was tried
yesterday. Lynds, in testifying as to
the time he put in on Westergard's
building, said plumbers compute time
on a job from the time of leaving the
shop until they return to the shop,
Judge Morrow excluded the evil
dence except to show the number Of
hours the plumber was actually en-
gagged at work in Westergard's house,
The Judge said that pay cannot be
recovered under a mechanics lien for
time used going from shop to build
ing, waiting for street cars, or re-
turning from the building to the
shop, by analogy to the rule in this
state that only material actually used
in a structure is lienable. The rule
would apply equally to carpenters,
painters, electricians, and all kinds of
mechanics.
