Southern epring trade reports continue good and recent rain or snow in the Soutflwest has brightened wheat reports from that section. The iron trade also shows a gain in activity nd in prices of crude mate- rial. Transportation matters show im- provement, and with them supplies of | coke t naces and shipments of goods to consumers. Drawbacks to the al spring trade outlook are found in the slow <« of Eastern buyers to take hold of spring goods and in se- | rious floods. Pacific Coast trade re- ports show a slight improvement. The prog f the season has apparently helped the iron and steel markets. Wool is steady on a hand to mouth demand by manufacturers, but stocks are not very large. | Wheat, including flour, exports for the week ending March 10 aggregate 1,834,632 bushels, against 1,643,086 bush- €ls last week, and 3,366,796 bushels this week last year.

The testimony on this question came on a vote which resulted 144 to 125, a strict party vote. A resolution for an investigation of the conpection of the members of the department offered by Representative MecCall of Massachusetts was "then agre=d to, only two members opposing it. When the House convened Gillett of Massachusetts presented a privileged report. Hay of Virginia promptly objected to its consideration. The Speaker in ruling on the point said the Hay resolution was a matter of the nighest privilege, and he recog- nized Overstreet of Indiana, who de- sired unanimous consent for an order giving members ten days’ leave to ex- tend their remarks. COOPER ENTERS OBJECTION. Cooper of Wisconsin entered an em- phatic “I object.” Overstreet then submitted two prop- csitions, first that the discussion ex- tend@ until Monday at 4 o'clock, and the second that it extend until 4 o'clock to-morrow. Both propositions were objected to by Hay. He then renewed his motion for leave to print, which brought Wil- liams of Mississippi quickly to his feet with the declaration that whatever is said on this subject should be said in the open House, and he therefore ob- jected. He was greeted with applause. Cowherd of Missouri was recognized and defended the action of the commit- tee presenting the report. There was no oceasion, he said, to refer the mat- ter to the committee. The report of General Bristow had gone out with the approval of the President. “I say now,” he vigorously declared, “that if we must answer whether the charge is true that Beavers usually complied with the requests of members of Congress, regardless of the merits of the case, the answer is that the charge is true.” William Alden Smith of Michigan ;jumped up and, holding up a copy of the report, called attention to the fact that one of the exhibits showed the words “White House” on it. He had, he said, examined the original papers ber 27, as against 19 last week and 20 ang the words “White House” were not | in the like week a year ago. gty Ty i T would like to know,” he asked, COLUSA CROPS IN DANGER. |y, had the audacity to write the Rivers Are Rising and Levees Show | Signs of Weakness. | COLUSA, ~arch 11.—The heavy| storm of Wednesday night has caused | the river to rise rapidly and at this | place the gauge registers 27 feet 2 inches, lacking only 7% inches of be- | ing up to the highest point rated dur- ing the high water of February. The entire east side is again under water | from two to fifteen feet deep and many of the lowland farmers are| again feeding their stock on the levees. A break occurred to-day on the Da- | vis Bros." ranch on the west side about { fourteen miles above Colusa and it is| now about twenty feet wide. The | levee workers have hopes of closing‘ the breach by noon Saturday. If they should fail the probabilities are that thousands of acres of grain land in southern Colusa and Yolo counties | will be flooded, the loss of which | would reach several hundred (houw sand dollars. This is the first break | that has occurred on the west side of the river, but the waters have been | up so long that the levees are becom-l ing thoroughly sozked and other | breaks are feared. The levees will be | patched to-night by several hundred | men between Princeton and Grimes, a | distance of forty mik afloes | WATERS MENACE BIG RANCH. | WILLOWS, March 11.—The storm | Rere has wrought havoc generally.

Cowherd then entered upon a vigor- | ous and emphatic answer to the charges and epithets which members had hurled at the department. Continuing, he in- quired: “Are you going to say to the coun- try that the department that lies about you tells the truth about its own ac- tions? Do you intend to go before your constituency and the good people of the United States and say that this great department which has publigshed this report, ‘conceived in sin and born in iniquity,’ is the purest and best and most capable to examine Into its own iniquities?” (Loud applause.) He was, he said, a partisan and a party man, but he “put the honesty and honorable management of a great department of the Government above the demands of any party that ever lived.” ATTACKS THE POSTOFFICE. Crumpacker of Indiana put himself on record in favor of a committee of members. of both sides of the House to investigate “the indictments” made against members. “The Postoffice Department,” Burle- son said, "reeks with rottenness and is steeped with corruption,”. Public opinion, he vigorously assert- ed, after the postal disclosures, de- manded further investigation. 3 “It would not down,” he said, “though the gc-tleman at the other end of the avenue (referring to the President) had complimented this man upon the puri- fication that had taken place.” This demand for an investigation, he declared, finally found expression in the resolution of Hay. “That is what struck terror to- the gentleman who presides over the Post- office Department,” he added, “and who is responsible for the document?" “Are you going to be intimidated?” he added. “Every honest man named in the report owes it to himself to de- mand an investigation.” Clayton of Alabama was unsparing in his criticism of the Postmaster Gen- eral, to whom he referred as “that dis- tinguished imbecile who happens to be Postmaster General of the Upited States.” / REPORT 1S DENOUNCED. Calderhead of Kansas sald the Presi- ‘dent and the Postmaster General had People _are hurt by Coffee Theyquitintime and use POSTUM e charged him with making a cbrrupt .| contract with Beavers. “They shall not do it,” he said, “without my protest here or anywhere.” He could not, he said, approve of a report which mixed the names of honorable men with those of criminala. Burket of Nebraska denounced -the suggestion that he had unlawfully ob- tained increases for postoffices. He charged thet “‘somebody had bundled up a mesg of stuff in a haphazard Swanson of Virginia insisted that every member of the House, whether he was mentioned in the report or not, owed it to himself to insist on the full- est investigation of .the Postoffice De- partment. William Alden Smith of Michigan said: “I denounce this report as a vol- executive department of this Govern- ment.” It had gone out of its way to given. He then threw the House into wild excitement. Men of the highest character, he declared, had been as- sailed by the report, among them thne Speaker of the House. “I hope,” he said, his words being almost drowned by the cheering and handclapping with which his remarks were received on both sides of the House and in the gal- leries, “that the day is not far distant when with the general consent of the American people the Speaker will bc lifted into the executive office.” MEMBERS WILDLY CHEER. wildly cheered. Speaker Cannon mean- time was viggrously rapping for order. When cuiet was restored Smith said there was not a bureau of the Govern- ment that showed proper respect for the direct representatives of the peopie. Smith’s time had expired, whereupon Clayton of Alabama, amid shouts of approvael, moved that Smith be given thirty minutes to conclude. “I object,” shouted Overstreet in the midst of the uproar. Overstreet then asked for a continuation of the debate for three days. Overstreet failed to se- cure an extenson of the debate. McCall of Massachusetts argued that the state of the public mind with re- spect to the Postoffice Department was such that when a whisper was made by any one in connection with postal affairs that whisper reverberated from one end of the country to the other. He opposed a general investigation at this time. ; The recommendation of the commit- tee to lay the Hay resolution,on the table was read. Moon proposed a sub- stitute providing for the investigation of the entire Postoffice Department by Against this Overstreet raised a point of order. Williams said that an in- vestigation of the Postoffice Depart- ment apparently was not desired, ‘be- cause it has been thought best for the Republican party.” Addressing the Republican side, he said: “The country knows. the world the power and the right, upon an ap- peal from the decision of the chair, to make it in order. Are you going to do it or not?” APPEAL LAID ON TABLE. In passing on the question Speaker Cannon said that the question before the House “is a matter of such high privilege, touching the dignity of the House, of the integrity of members in their representative capaecity, that it displaces all other business.” He sus- tained the point of order against the resolution. Griggs of Georgia appealed from the decision of the chair. The ap- peal was laid on the table by a strict party vote. Speaker Cannon then laid before the House the committee recommendation that the Hay resolution lay on the table. By a viva voce vote the House refused to table the resolution. Cooper (R.) of Wisconsin vigor- ously assailed Calderhead of Kansas ?orl his remarks against Bristow and insinuations against the i Cooper added: g “This matter has degenerated, as T knew it would, into a covert attack on the President of the United States.” , This remark was met with derisive laughter and hisses on the Democratic side. Coover defended Bristow and said he never had attacked the House of Representatives or any of its mem- bers. “Let any member rise and prove to the contrary,” he insisted. CHALLENGE IS ANSWERED. The challenge was answered by Cooper’s colleague from Wisconsin, Jenkins, who ‘called attention to a statement made on Wednesday that the names of members had been as- sociated with that of “W. A. Machen, a convicted felon on his way to the penitentiary.” Then shaking his | finger at Cooper, Jenkins said, amid cheers: “You are the gentleman who made the statement.” 5 Cooper declared he did not refer to the Bristow report in his remarks. He then further lauded Bristow_and said he had worn himself out in the cause of pure government and had received as his reward vilification and abuse, McCall demanded the previous ques- tion and his resolution was carried, 256 to 2, Lind (D.) of Minnesota and Gillespie (D.) of Texas voting in the negative. The vote had the effect of sending the Hay resolution to the select com- mittee named in the McCall resolu- tion, but does not provide for an in- vestigation of the Postoffice Depart- ment. Ware of Mississippi offered a reso- lution for the appointment of a com- mittee of five House members to in- vestigate the Postoffice Department. Payne demanded the regular order and made an objection, which was carried. Adjourned, —_——— Much Damage at Grass Valley. - GRASS VALLEY, March 11.—On iop of a terrific windstorm comes a’' biting cold snap and a heavy fall of snow. Reports of damage from wind are beginning to come in from the country. The greatest damage so far is to a flume carrving the tailings of ’the North Star mine to Mitchell's #and plant. Snow has been falling at intervals since 2 o'clock this morn- ing and there is every indication of a big snow storm before the end comes. An electric storm this afternon inter- ‘fered somewhat with traffic and the trolley line between here and Nevada City was also affected. ———————————— Tax Collector’s Expenses.

All the telephone and telegraph wires were down above and below town. Yes- terday morning’s train was an hour late in getting to Soscol, six miles be- | low here, and then was stopped by ' four feet of water running over the ties. Napa River was within a few Inches of the highest it ever has bt;en. An accident to the Bay Counties Power Line somewhere in the Sacramento valley shut off all light and power and in consequence the California Glove factory, the Evans shoe factory and the Standard Cement Works at Napa Junction had to shut down. East Napa was flooded. With the exception of trees blown down about town and a steel chimney broken in two at the woolen mill, no serious damage was | done. ch to The Call. o S A ACCIDENT TO A STAGE. Horses Drowned and Passengers Have Narrow Escape in Nevada County. NEVADA, March 11.—Driver Joe | Downey of the Downieville stage line |and three passengers had a narrow escape from drowning in Rush Creek | vesterday. The bridge was gone and the party decided to ford the creek, which was about twenty-five feet wide. | The. water ran in the bottom of the | stage, but they would have crossed safely had not the off lead horse fallen. | This caused one of the wheelers to fall under the tongue, leaving the stage | with its passengers in the middle of the stream. Driver Downey cut the | pole with an ax, releasing the horses, {but the two wheelers were carried down {into the Yuba River and drowned, while | the leaders ran off up the road. The | | curtains were down, leaving the pas- | sengers penned in. They managed to jeut the curtain and got out through the back, alighting in the stream. A rope was attached to the stage and two passengers, Malcom Morrison and Dan | McKenzie of Forest City, waded to the shore. James K. O'Brien of Smarts- ville lost his footing and was being car- ried away, when Morrison grabbed him by the trousers. The passengers had just left the stage when it was car- ried away, rolling over perhaps thirty times, finally landing against a tree just before reaching the .river...The vehicle was fastened and will be taken out when the water recedes. Downey caught an express box and one mail | sack, but most of the mail and bag- gage were lost, % g SANTA CLARA REJOICES. | Rains Practically Insure a Great Crop for the Valley. SAN JOSE, March 11.—With the rain that has been falling in the Santa Clara Valley for the last few days there is little doubt that the coming year will be a banner one. The rainfall for | the present storm, according to the Bank of San Jose rain gauge, was 3.16 inches. For the twenty-four hours end- ing at 9 o'clock this morning .68 of an inch had fallen. This gives a total of 11.14 inches for the season, against 12.75 inches for last year to the same date. The indications are that the storm is not over yet and that more rain may be expected. A late spring is always better for Santa Clara County, and these late rains insure an immense crop. It has also put the orchards in fine condition. The grain that has been sown is growing fast and the cattle ranges in the foothills are assured of all the feed that will be wanted. The seed farms are also greatly benefited. ol g SAN DIEGO IS DRENCHED. | | Raiufall Is Heavy, but Parched Earth Absorbs the Moisture. SAN DIEGO, March 11.—Last]| night's rain was general throughout | the county and brought from two- | thirds of an inch to an inch and three- | quarters in different parts of ‘the coun- ty. The heaviest fall was between 1| and 2 o'clock this morning, when in | five minutes .16 of an inch fell. The | ground was parched and drank in all | the rain that fell and there are no, streams running even in the moun-| tains where they start before they do | in the valleys. The greatest good will come to the grain raisers, for though | the grain is very backward on account of the dry winter another rain or two will make hay at least. If the weather continues warm the effect of the pres- ent rain will be splendid and if more rain comes at the right time, the | present rain will be counted worth $200,000 to the county. L T DR MENDOCINO IS ISOLATED. ‘Wires Are Down and Mails Are De- layed Several Days. UKIAH, March 11.—Mendocino Coun- ty has been cut off from the world for two days, the first time in fourteen years. Mail arrived from the city this afternoon for the first time since Wed- nesday night. Fhe Mendocino road is impassable, also the roads to Lake and Humboldt counties. All telegraph’and telephone lines were swept away by the storm. The branch line of the C. N. Railway from this city to WHIits has been kept open. Slides on the stage road are plentiful, and in some places the road has becn washed out entirely. S Heavy Snowfall in Mountains. AUBURN, March 11.—The present storm has been a terrific one here, though probably doing less damage in the mountains than in the valley. Snow has fallen within two miles of Auburn. There was eight inches this morning at Colfax. six at Forest Hill and the fall at the summit has been too heavy to measure. The rainfall | to date has been thirty-two inches and in average seasons the fall is placed | at but thirty-three inchés v Eg;xe! to the State convention will be 733. j which will meet at 2 p. m. to-day in | Golden Gate Hall, Sutter street, near | Taylor. | where in the Sacramento Valley, the | vention. | designate Sacramento. : ! will have only 121 delegates in the | lican | Republican standard will dominate | come before said State convention.

The crew of seven men, compelled to take to the rigging when the ship went ashore, were rescued two hours later. A ter- rific sea was running and it was only by dint of desperate efforts that a line was got to the ship and the men brought ashore. A report from Re- dondo says that the captain of the ves- sel remained abecard until the last of the crew had gone safely over the line to the beach. The Mabel Gray arrived off the har- bor yesterday afternoon and dropped her anchor to wait for a place at the dock. A high sea was running all aft- ernoon and about midnight last night the long ground swell caused her to drag her anchor hold and despite the efforts of the crew to get another an- chor hold the vessel went ashore at a point about 200 yards from the whart. ‘When the vessel struck a part of the cargo went overboard. The men clam- bered into the rigging and their shouts for help soon attracted the attention | Of people on the beach. No life-saving apparatus was at hand, but a bonfire was bullt and several ineffectual ef- forts made to get a line to the ship by means of a launch. The effort was finally successful and the seven men of the crew came over it safely to the shore. The vessel is lying about 200 yards off shore and is in what is considered a favorable position. The sea is still running high, but it is believed that if the schooner maintains her present po- sition that a portion of the cargo may be taken off and possibly the vessel saved from total wreck. Captain Hansen was in command of the vessel and the crew was a regula- tion coast crew of mixed nationalities. The Oakland, another schooner in the harbor, also dragged her anchors badly during the storm in the early hours of the morning and was narrowly saved from a fate similar to that of the Mabel | Gray.
