NEW YORK, June 27.—A special from Chicago to the Herald says: Re- | publican and Democratic leaders are alike agreed that Father George D. Heldmann of St. Paul's Roman Catho- lic Church, Chicago, whose name has been mentioned as candidate for the Democratic nomination for Congress in the Second District, would be a strong man to contest the seat with Representative Lorimer, the present Republican member. Father Held- mann's statement of the situation is as follows: “I can say without vanity that I am favored not alone by my own parish- ioners, but by the Catholics and Ger- mans of this district. I have always been a Democrat, and there is no law, ecclesiastical or civil, which prevents the elecnon of a Catholic priest to Congress.”’ In case Archbishop Feehan gives his consent to Father Heldmann's becom- ing a candidate, he will undoubtedly receive the nomination. Republicans generally admit that Father Heldmann would be one of the strongest can- didates that could be put forward, and if he is nominated it is doubtful if the 2epublicans will make any nomination against him. It is said to be doubtful, however, whether Archbishop Feehan will consent to the priest accepting the nomination, as he is known to be op- posed to clergymen mixing up in poli- ties. Father Heldmann was born in Chi- cago fifty-ong years ago, and has lived here all his Hfe. He is of German ex- traction, and was prominent at the mass-meeting called by German- Americans to protest against a Brit- ish-American alllance. |INTERESTS THE PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC -COAST | Senator Stewart Pleads With the President on Behalf of Captain Neall. WASHINGTON, June 27.—Senator Wil- m M. Stewart of Nevada called at the ive Mansion to-day and held a nce with the President regarding the case of Captin John M. Neall, of the Fourth Cavalry.

It says: The fruit season has been a busy one. In some instances | much fruit has gone to waste for want of help to care for it in season.

ZHL A THE WATERS ARE RECEDING“ — | SILT LEFT BY OVERFLOW A COMPENSATING BENEFIT. A The Flood Has Been Twenty Feet Above Mean Low Water and | Has Caused Considerable Damage to Crops. Special TACOMA, June —Men turned from Portland and the Colum- bla River Valley report that great damage is being caused by inundations along the Columbia River between re- just Vancouver and Astoria. Many thou- sand acres of farm lands have been overflowed. Hundreds of ranchers | have moved to high lands, cattle and farm animals. , taking th The inundat- | | ed district includes a large stretch of farming lands lying along the Oregon bank of the Columbia between the mouth of the Willamette and Goble. | Many farmhouses are filled with water | up to their second story and barns like- | wise. Sauvies Island entirely over- flowed and all the inhabitants have been cbliged to flee. This is one of the most important islands in the Colum- bia River, being the seat of extensive farming operations. Sauvies Island receives a compensat- ing benefit from these periodical over- | flows in that the silt left by overflowing waters nearly doubles the crops grown for several successive vears. At Ka- | |lama the Northern Pacific tracks and depot are under water. The single track | remaining in use is built up on the bluff side and considerably above water. For many miles northward from Kalama farms are under water on both sides of the Northern Pacific. While the waters lack seven or eight feet of belng as high as during the great flood of 1894, they are said to be causing more damage than during any previous high water, excepting that| one. The waters are believed to have reached .their highest point and are re- ceding some to-day. Travelers who re- turned from Portland to-night state that nearly a mile of warehouses along he Willamette River are flooded. Some | | of these warehouses are two or more stories high and the upper floors are filled chiefly with grain. A special from Vancouver, Wash., says. The Columbia River has been nearly at a standstill for twenty-four hours. The highest point reached was | twenty-four feet ten inches above mean low water. The high water has; caused considerable damage to crops | and property on river bottoms and | along the water front. | A vast accumulation | collided with the solitary bridge pier in the Columbia in the lower part of the city, wrecking the wooden framework | at the upper side of the pier. This pier was built for the Union Pacific Rail- road in 1890 and cost $200,000. The river, where it covers the (fllumhld‘ Slough, on the Oregon side, where it is crossed by a long trestle supporting the street-car line, presents an interesting sight. The water for nearly two miles | is within five feet of the track and in several places passes under the trstle \ in a swift current, caus'ag passengers | to be nervous when passing over these | places. | SUGAR WAR MAY NOW BE FINALLY SETTLED Report Not Confirmed but General Anxiety to Make Money ! Gives It Strength. | NEW_ YORK, June 28.—The Tribune | say The report that the sugar war has | been practically settled finds many be- lievers in Wall street, although it has had no official confirmation. Wall Street Topics, discussing the losses incurred in this contest by the sugar company and its competitors, will say in its issue to- | day: The cost of the war to the sugar trust (the American_Sugar Refining Company) cannot be far from $10,000,000. The cost to Arbuckle Brothers and to Doscher (New York Sugar Refining Company) is insig- nificant compared with the cost to the sugar trust. Arbuckle Brothers and Doscher are will- ing to follow the trust in advances, for they are anxious to make money. They make a difference of 9 cents, which was | the difference prevailing before the sugar | war began. PR A WHOLESALE GROCERS ORGANIZE A TRUST| Towa Business Men Appoint One Man to Do All of Their Buying. DES MOINES, June 27.—Iowa whole- | sale grocers formed a trust of their own | to-day.
