Lewis River Is Rising.

WOODLAND, wash, June 19.-The
sudden warm weather has started
heavy rise in Lewis river, and for the
last few days the melting SHOWS from
the headwaters around Mount Ad-
ans and Mount st. Helens have caus-
ed a daily rise Of about six inches,
with prospects of much heavier rise
in the next "a hours.
The long delay in the expected
high water in the Columbia, coupled
with some warmer weather in the
past ten days, has allowed the early
hay crop in the valiey west of town
to mature, and the ranchers have
nearly the entire crop housed.

CLAIMS RIGHT TO HOLD
ABSENT FRIENDS CHAIR
Privilege Asserted by Passenger
Aboard Steamboat Involved in
Damage Suit.

Has a passenger on steamboat the
right to hold a companion's chair dur
ing his temporary absence in another
part of the boat, and may an officer of
the company forcibly remove the chair
without rendering the owner of the boat
liable to damages?
This unusual query is put up to the
District Supreme Court today in a suit
TO recover $1,000 damages flied by
Fannie V. Jones, through Attorneys
Robert f. Mattingly and Gittings &
Chamberlin. against the Potomac and
Chesapeake Steamboat Company.
The plaintiff says she bought a
round "trip ticket to Colonial Beach July
is last, and when returning was seated
with party of friends on the hurricane
deck Of the steamer St Johns. One of
her companions. wishing TO visit an
other part, Of the boat. requested her
Ito keep his chair until his return
While she was attempting to carry out
his request, she asserts an officer of
the company did violently and bru-
tally grab. pull and jerk from her and
out of her arms the chair or seat which
she was holding" BY reason of the al
legged violence. she says, her clothing
was torn and soiled, her arms and BODY
bruised and injured and she was pub
llicly exposed to humiliation in the eyes

have paid their proportion of every ma
tional tax. direct and indirect. They
pay as much per capita in city taxation,
the census reports show, as the average
taxpayer in the American cities approxi-
mating Washington in size. They have
risked life and shed their blood in every
national war. AS a border community
Washington sent many of her sons to
the south in the civil struggle; while to
preserve the Union the first volunteers
came from the capital, and Washington
mans supplied more troops i'll excess Of
their quota than any state except one
In the war with Spain they sent to the
front fine regiment. far exceeding their
quota in numbers. A similar showing of
comparative patriotic devotion is now in
evidence in the response to the call for
soldiers for the Mexican border. They
have thus placed both sacrifice of treas
ure and blood sacrifice upon the nations
altar. In modern times of peace the pub
lie spirit of the Washingtonian is equally
in evidence whenever sacrifices of time
or of energy or of money in the city's in
terest are required. Our business and
professional men-the educational Scien-
tific literary and artistic elements of our
popula tion-our workngmen in public
and private employ, our department clerks
and other government employees, our win
ter residents in process of conversion into
Washingtonans, combine to constitute
one of the strongest most intelligent
most publc-spirited and most American
communities in the whole republic.

to what conditions should be expected
in the terms of peace to secure repara-
tioa that will satisfy justice"
A member asked if the government

that Emperor William is wanted for
Willful murder in this case"
No answer was returned to this.

WOULD HOLD PHILIPPINES.
Senator Borah Says Americans Have
Settled Independence Question.

Asserting that the American people
have demonstrated that they want to
hold the Philippine Islands perma- =
nently, Senator Borah of Idaho told
the Senate today that the issue over
tied for all time.
The Idaho senator, speaking on the
conference report on the Philippines
self-government bill, said he had voted
in the Senate for the Clarke amend
ment to grant independence to the
islands in not less than two nor more
than four years, and that public opin-
ion against the amendment had been so
strong that the HOUSE had killed the
proposal.
Senator Borah made the prediction
that Cuba, before many years, would
belong to the United States. Senator
Hitchcock said he did not take much
stock in the prophecy.

Mr.. johnson holds that Washington

ably taxed like those of other compar-
able cities. can and should raise annu-
ally much more than the whole amount
which Congress has for several years
appropriated for the District. The joint

Bill Dissatisfies Democrats.

But there is trouble brewing among
the democratic ranks of the Senate. it is
understood. A number of the democrats
are by no means satisfied with the rev.
enue bill as reported, among them
Senators Phelan of California, who is
doing all in his power to defeat the
wine schedule as drafted by the Senate
democrats in committee and caucus;
Senator Underwood. who is strongly op-
posed to the dye schedule and the pro-
posed tariff mmission, and also to GER
tain features of the proposed munitions
tax; Senator O'Gormah of New York
who criticised the increases in the in
come tax; Senators Ashurst of Arizona
and Pittman of Nevada will fight the
copper tax: Senator Chamberlain of
oregon is opposing the tax on lumber.
and still other democratic senator's will
seek amendments to the bill The ac-
tion of the caucus on the bill was not
made binding.
Largely upon the strength of the in
surgent democrats will depend the
length of time needed for the passage
of the bill Should they combine. they
might, with the aid of republicans,
amend the measure materially.
The only republican members Of the
finance committee to attend the meet
ing of the committee today were Sena-
tors Penrose and Smoot. There was no
discussion of the bill in the committee
meeting, and the republicans contented
themselves with registering their votes
against the measure.
