Six Hundred Saw Fight.

The Johnson-Ketchel fight films
shown at the Gem theatre last night
were watched by an audience OF 600
spectators. The representative of the
Aim company who accompanied the
films stated to the World that he
had not seen such appreciation any
where as he had in Wenatchee.
The theatre was entirely too small
to hold the crowds and many went
to the Wenatchee theatre and took in
the show there, while waiting for a
chance to get into the Gem. The We
natchee really did about as we'll with
its regular show as the Gem did with
the special, so great was the overflow
meeting.
The films were exceptionally good
and the interest never waned. At the
close of the show the spieler stated to
the audience that after July he
hoped to show another set of films
in which the white man would be
the winner. Cheers and hurrahs fol-
lowed.

STIRRED BY ARREST
Of LEADERS
OF ADMINISTRA-
TION IMPRISONED ON CHARGES
OF SEDITION -ANTI-GOvERN-
MENT PARTY EMBITTERED.

Mexico City, Feb. "a furore has
developed throughout the country to-
day as the result of the arrest and
Imprisonment of Samuel Monteras,
the leader of the opponents to the re-
election of Vice President Corral, and
the Imprisonment of Garcia Cadena,
an orator of the democratic party
which opposes the reelection of both
President Diaz and Corral. The press
is bitter in it's criticisms of the action.
calling attention to the recent state
ment of Diaz that he was glad 70
see the people exercising constitu-
tional rights. Both men are charged
with sedition.
The reelection of Diaz is favored
by great number of citizens and 1t
is believed that there would be little
or no doubt about it.
Corral, however, is unpopular, and
there is strong sentiment about
him. The campaign was proceeding
with a semblance OF freedom Of
speech and action which was praised
by the liberal press.
The arrest of the two antifCorraf
leaders and their Incarceration came
as a rather sudden shock and has
served to embitter more than ever
the opponents of the Diaz govern
ment The details Of the charges
against the politicians were not given
out, but it is generally believed that
their alleged "sedition" will be con
tended upon the complaint that they
attacked the methods of the admins
tration under Diaz. AS the two men
were open in their political moves
and were taking their action publicly
in the campaign, the charge caused
great surprise.
II they were engaged in any plot,
their friends said today, they did not
conflde their purposes to anyone.
Monteras and Cadena are being called
patriots and martyrs by the liberals
and such open condemnation Of an
act OF the government has seldom
been heard during the iron rule OF
Diaz.

FLOODS FROM SUB.
STATION

Who says that Wcnatchee is dry
town? Paris with all of her floods
isn't in it. Streets are being rapidly
filled with water this morning. Since
10 o'clock last night the water has
been flowing from the saltwater sta
ton on Orondo and Idaho at the rate
of about SO barrels per hour. This
morning the water reached Wenat-
chez avenue, having first flooded
Orondo street and number of by
streets between Oregon and Mission
so that the street is practically inn
passable to pedestrians without rub
Der boots. Thousands of gallons of
water have been spread over the
streets, due to fact that too much wa
ter had been poured into the station
at Orondo and Idaho streets. At the
sub-station the water is coming from
the overflow pipes.

TAFT LIKES ADMIR-
ALTON
FINDS THE WHITE HOUSE RA-
THEIR LONELY BECAUSE NO
ONE EVER JUST DROPS IN
FOR A CHAT"

Washington, D. c., Feb. 5.-Talk-
ing as if he were merely a friend
who had dropped in for short chat
and not the president of the United
States, William Fl. Taft Monday re-
vealej much of his personal side to
the newspaper men of the national
capital at an informal reception
given to him at the National Press
club.
Prepared for a stroll along Penn
sy1vania avenue and several Of the
other thoroughfares OF the city,
which he took after he left the club,
the president declared he found much
pleasure in walking and looking in
the shop windows. He said he en-
joyed seeing some person give him
a look and then look away, while
the next person would give a second
look and then poke his companion
in the ribs, and in the dignity paid
by Americans to high office, call out:
Hello, Taft
Speaking of the White House life
and duties the president said there
was sense Of isolation" in life
there; that nobody just drops in on
you for a chat, but all the callers
come by engagement.
AS to getting tired out with work
the president said the preparation
OF messages for congress was the
hardest work he was called upon to
do; that the three or four hours a
day he spent in talking over the
qualifications for office of men rec
commended or rather the claims they
would make as to why they should
be appointed was not real work.

QUESTION OF POST
OFFICE SITE
BUSINESS MEN VERY JEALOUS AS
TO THE LOCATION OF THE
POSTOFFICE-PRESENT QUAR-
TIERS ENTIRELY INADEQUATE

The change of postoffice site is
going to develop pretty little
scrap. Some few weeks ago COM
mittee consisting Of John F. Weber,
Conrad Rose, Geo. H. Ellis, Jr., A.
T. Wells and E. M. Upper was APP
pointed by the Commercial club to
make a recommendation for a site
for the postoffice, the present loca-
ton being deemed insufficient for
the needs of the city. Already three
sites have been suggested, that of
the Wenatchee Realty company
building on North Wenatchee avenue,
the Harlin building on the corner of
Orondo and Mission, and the Daily
World building on Mission street.
1t is very evident that both ends Of
town will make strenuous effort
to get this building The commit
tee has so far not intimated as to
what it will recommend to the Com
mercial club, but a number OF the
business men are interesting them
selves in this matter and all three
sites have partisans. The govern
ment has another years lease on the
present quarters, but inasmuch as
the building is entirely inadequate
it is likely that a change will be
made some place during the sum-
mer, but before the change is made
1t is likely there will be a consider
able effort exertei in the location
of the site.

Paris Plans a Great Waterway

Paris, Feb. 5.--A bill to provide
an appropriation of $18,000,000 for
the construction of a canal south Of
the Paris Notifications to carry off
future overflows of the Seine was in
troduced today in the chamber of
deputies. The original plan proposed
by engineers was for the construction
of large canal to encircle Paris and
its environs in order to guard against
future foundations.
1t is believed now, however, that
canal to the south of the city would
be sufficient protection from further
food damage.
The Seine continues it's steady re-
cession today, and it was predicted
by the fuvial department that 1t
would reach its normal level within
a week.
Conditions throughout the districts
stricken by the flood were generally
improved today, and the work Of min
istering to the homeless and hungry
was greatly facilitated.
The July Column in the Bastile
was closed to the public this after
noon. Many OF the great stones seal
ing the tombs under the monument
were found to have been loosened by
the action of the water and the au-
thorities ordered the public barred
until they can be replaced.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.--In his an

department OF the interior, devotes
large space to public land problems.
After reciting the history of the pub

New or amendatory legislation
