HANNA Assistant Secretary of Sound Money | League Speaks of the Gold Plank | in the ¥latform. SPOKANE, Dec. 24.—"The statements of ors Foraker, Hanna, Proctor and ers concerning the gold plank in the Republican platform of 18% are amusing and are also not true,” said Wililam Yates Perot to-day. Mr. Perot during the Presidential cam- | paign resided at Balitmore, Md., and was assistant secretary of the National Sound Money League. Continuing, he said: *“In April, 189%, when it became apparent that McKinley would be the Republican nominee, and the Democrats would declare for free silver, it became of vital importance to the busi- of the country that the fonal yrm should de- goid standard. I entered in- e with the Chamber of | New ork. Gustav H. o of the committee of that organization and I daily had cor- respondence with him during the cam- palgn. A systematic campaign was en- d_upon and every financial interest in {ted States of any importance was to co-operate. June § Mr. Hanna d a clear majority of delegates assured for McKinley and positively refused to al- low the gold plank in the platform, fear- ing the effect of the Western vote. June committee on resolutions was an- ‘ed, with Foraker as chairman. This was our preconcerted signal. Then every member of the committee on resolution: as well as every important individual member of the convention, was bom- barded with letters and telegrams of the t imperative nature, insisting that the in. me word gold ge alarmed and ¢ Senator Hanna became nsented that it go in, and McKinl: pledged himself to stand squarely on the nlatform. Kohlsaat was put forward as_the chief urger of the plank, because he was a Western man and on account of the prejudice agalnst Wall street. That is the true story. The gold plank was written into the platform in response to ine united and previously preconcerted demand of the great busi- ness interests of the country.” s FaRMING ".ANDS IN WASHIIGTON INUNDATED | Sudden Rise of the Nooksack River Creates Alarm Among the Resi- dents of the Valley. TACOMA, Dec. 24—Heavy rains and deep snows in the mountains, accom- panied by Chinook winds, have combined to send an immense flood of water cours- ing down Western Washington river: The White, Stuck, Cowlitz, Cheh: Skagit, Skohillis and Nooksack are over- flowing the lowlands along their banks, doing great damage. The greatest trouble so far has occurred in the Nooksak Val- | ley, where the river yesterday rose two | feet. The big railroad bridge of the Bel- | lingham Bay and Columbia Rallroad at | Everson, & l5-{oot span, went out last | nignt, together wit! several counly] bridges. Residents of Everson and other Nooksack Valley towns have been cutting | brush and heaving stone for twenty-four | hours in an attempt to save the remainin, bridges. The railroad Is assisting with | work trains. Another county bridge at | Linden is washed out. | The Nooksack River has long been not- | ed for its sudden rises, but all records | were broken last night when the water auge at Everson showed a height of 91| foets” Many farms in the Nooksack Val- ley are flooded and considerable stock has been lost. The shingle mills on the south fork of the Nooksack have been badly | damaged by the terrific flood which is | pouring through the mills. Many rafts with shingle bolts were carried into Puget Sound and lost. At Deming all the fami- | lies on the water front were compelled to | move and water covers the floors of busi- | ness houses. Similar results have fol- | lowed floods in the Cowlitz and Skagit valleys. Thousands of acres of the finest farming lands in Stuck Valley are under water. PR LAWTON FUND GROWING. ST.

VICTORIA, Dec. 24.—According to news received by G. E. Daniel and Ed Ralston, who made the trip from Dawson to salt water in ten days with a team of five dogs, there was a stampede about the be- ginning of this month, the first that has left Dawson for some considerable time, 1o a creek which enters the Indian River about nine miles from its mouth. The rush, in which a large crowd joined, was headed by William C. Gates, more com- moniy known to the people of the Yukon and the Pacific Coast as “Swiftwater Bill,” and his brother, Humboldt Gates. According to the stories being told when the miners left Dawson, this new find to which a long string of excited miners was | rushing witn dog teams and on foot is one | of the richest that has been made since ¢ Carmach staked Discovery on Bo- nanza. It is sald to pay as high as $10 How the find Was made or who the discoverer was the miners could not learn. Should it prove | @s rich as reported Swiftwater will again become possessed of a fortune such as he made after he was dumped in a drunken Etupor on ope of the richest claims of Bonanza, wilen that creek was first lo- cated. Flow he went through this is an old story. The two returned miners report that there is an almost endiess number of scows frozen in along the river. There are a hundred or more craft tied up at an island which has been named Scow Island in consequence. So much freight for Daw- son is frozen {n on these vessels that the Government has decided to cut a sled route from Selkirk to Dawson to allow | of the goods being moved in over the ice. Just prior to the departure of the miners the bridge tender at Dawson was married to a young lady of 16 years, and for a to Cape Nome X dogs carrying supplies. f;‘um Dawson are J.«‘h the nugget express, an C. N. Manson, from (hf Furl)‘l-mlln dis- trict via Dawson, who brings news of two rich results of the clean-up on the Ameri- can side. Mr. Manson says Jack Wade k will prove richer than Bonanza ever and the American diggings of Forty- mile will be one of the richest placer dis- tricts in the world. No. 7, on Jack Wade Creek, has shown as high as $1500 for one day’s clean-up, and Captain French of Eagle City took out $3 in an hour with a penknife. ARRANGEMENTS FOR BURIAL OF MOODY Funeral Will Be Held Tuesday After- noon, and the Interment at Round Top Cemetery. EAST NORTHFIELD, Mass., Dec. 24.— The family of the late Dwight L. Moody remained indoors nearly the entire day, owing to the constant downpour of rain, leaving the house only for a brief inter- val during the forenoon to attend services at the Congregational church. M Moody, who had been much affected by the arrival of her sister and brother, Fleming Reyell and Mrs. Willlam M. Hol- den, of Chicago, last evening, was in her usual health after a nignt's rest, and showed only slightly the struggle which she has experienced during the past few weeks, The services at the Congregational church this afternoon were conducted by Rev. C. J. Schofield, the pastor, assisted by Rev. R. A. Torrey of Chicago, has been associated with Mr. Moody at the Bible Institute at Chicago. Mr. Tor- rey's talk was principally of the life of the dead evangelist. The funeral is to be held Tuesday after- noon at 2:30 o'clock, and the details have been completed. The body will be taken to the church at 9 a. m. by the Mount Herman students, and will lie In state until 2:30 o'clock In the afternoon, when the services will be held, after which it will be taken to the last resting place on Round Tov. The only music during the service, aside from slmilng by the regular choir of the church, wil be the singing of “Rock of Ages,” one of Mr. Moody's fa- vorite hymns, by the Mount Syman male quartet.” Honorary pallbearers have been named as follow: lonel J. J. Jane- way, New Brunswick, N. J.; . Morse of the Y. M. C. A. national committee New York: George C. Stebbins, Brooklyn: Ira D. Sankey, Brooklyn; General J. J.

Nell, assistant su- perintendent of the Bible Institute, preached at the various gatherings, touching upon the character and achieve- ments of Moody as prefaces to his regu- lar sermons. He advocated gladness and resignation instead of grief. 2 GIFTS OF THE KAISER. William of Germany Distributes Money to the Poor. BERLIN, Dec. 24—Emperor Willlam this morning left the palace, following his custom for several years, his pockets filled with #old and silver, and strolled through the parks at Potsdam and the poorer quarters, distributing Christmas gifts to the needy.

PEACEMAKER WORSTED. A Tenderloin Visitor Has His Scalp Cut Open. James Green, 4 hanger-on about the ten- derloin resorts, was arrested early yester- day morning and charged at the Califor- nia-street statlon with assault with a deadly weapon and vagrancy. Green, while intoxicated, entered the Klondike ealoon, on Dupont street, above Bush, and brandishing a revolver ‘declared that he would make a Morgue subject of the bar- keeper., Harry McKeane, who resides in Onkland, was in the saloon, and not wish- ing to be a witness to a murder, grappled with Green _and tried to wrest the pistol from him. The old peacemaker story was repeated, with the result that McKeane had a few stitches put in his scalp and the satisfaction of seeing two charges placed against his opponent’s name by Officers Nelson and Snowball. * WONDERS OF THE OCEAN BED. Some Strange Things That Might Be Seen at Great Depths. The temperature of the bottom of the ocean is nearly down to freezing point, and sometimes actually below it. here is a total absence of light as far as sun- light is concerned, and there is an enor- mous pressure, reckoned at about a ton to the square inch In every 1000 fathoms, which is 160 times greater than that of the atanosphere we live In. At 2500 fath- oms the pressure is thirty times more werful than the steam pressure of a jocomotive when drawing a train. As late as 1580 a leading zoologist explained the existence of deep-sea animals at such depths by assuming that their bodies were composed of solids and liqulds of great density and contained no air. This, however, 18 not the case with deep-sea fish, which are provided with air-inflated, swimming bladders. If one of these fish, In full chase after its prey, hnpgena to ascend above a certain geve its bladder becomes distended with the decreased pressure and carries it, in spite of Its efforts, still higher in its course; in fact, members of this unfortunate c.ass are ltable to become victims to the un- usual accident of* falling upward, and no doubt meet with a violent death soon after leaving their accustomed level and long before their bodies reach the sur- face in a distorted and unnatural state. Even ground sharks, bro#nt up from a depth of no more than fathoms, e: rlre before they gain the surface.—Nine- eenth Century.
