VISALIA, March 28.—Miss Mamie Ful- ton of Dinuba died last night as the re- sult of an injection of cyanide of potas- slum used through a misunderstanding of her physiclan’s orders. S8he became unconscious immedlately after taking the polson and died within an hour. Miss Fulton had been suffering with a skin affection, and on consulting a physi-, cian, was advised to use a solution of potassium cyanide extgrnally and an in- jection of salt water. Miss Fulton, mis- understanding the doctor's directions, last night made an injection of the cyan. ide. In a short time her heavy breathing attracted the attention of her brother and mother, and on going to her room they found her unconscious. A physiclan was summoned, but nothing could be done, and she died in a short time. An inquest was held this afternoon and a verdict brought in in accordance with the above facts. The deceased was 31 years of age and possessed a considerable vocal talent. She was a sister of P. B Fulton, Post- master.at Dinuba. —_—————— Similarity in Names Causes Error. EUREKA, March 28.—Fred Yarnell, foreman In }-!aughery's shingle mill and one of the' most popular residents of Humboldt County, is considerably an- noyed over the publication of his name in connection with the killing of Peter Iverson last week. Owing to a con- fusion of names it was made to appear that Yarnell had shot Iverson in self- defense, whereas he 'was in no way connected with the tragedy. The mis- take, which was due to a simlilarity in names, has been the cause of no small amount of annoyance to Yarnell. —_——— Takes Overdose of Laudanum. MONTEREY, March 28.—Mrs. Minnie ‘Wagner, wife of P. B. Wagner, took an overdose of laudanum ladt night and for a time her life was despaired of.

KILLY HERSELF — COAST. AFFAIRS AT THE CAPITAL Effort to Increase Appro- priation for San Francisco Mint Fails of Success ——l Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING, WASHINGTON, March 28.—After a stiff fight by Representatives Hayes and Kahn teday in the House to increase the ap- propriation for the San Francisco mint from §$150,000 to $165,000, the proposition was lost by a vote of 44 to 2. An ef- fort will be made to have the provision inserted in the Senate. Representative Needham today ar- ranged with Speaker Cannon to call up his bill relating to the fortification of sweet wines next Monday, under a suspension of the rules. The bill was favorably reported by the ways and means committee. The situation as to the McKinlay ir- rigation bill remains practically un- changed today. It is apparent that while all the members of the California dele- gation will not specifically approve the ‘War Department’s amendments, none will formally object. The bill may be favor- ably reported by Chairman Stevens of the sub-committee within a short time. * California postmasters were appointed today as follows: Iceland, Nevada County, John Sober; Peltz, Butte County, ennie Mortelsen; Whitehouse, Shasta County, Thomas M.

The tract threatened is bounded on the south by the cut and Old River. The Stark, Carlin and McDougald tracts are flooded apd the water is fill- ing In on the Fablan Tract. The next danger is at Clifton Court. The water of the Grant line canal is higher than The levee on the north side, however. Is good. Should this levee break it would re- sult in flooding Union Island and the water might cross Middle River and encroach on Roberts Island. No dan- ger is apprehended in this section, however, as the San Joaquin has been falling for two days. AABT LR MOJAVE RIVER RISING. Stream Is Higher Than at Any Time During Past Twenty Years. SAN BERNARDINO, March 28.—“The water in the Mojave River is the high- est in twenty years,” sald W. A. Mec- Farlane, 2 mining man who arrived in this city this morning. The river has now developed an old channel and stretched out on the desert to Silver Lake, an extension of Soda Lake, nearly 100 miles east of Victorville. McFarlane was caught at the cavi by the high water and was held a prisoner for six days. The flood has Interfered serfously with the building of the Tonopah and Tidewater Railroad, which at Soda Lake 1s covered for a quarter of a mile with three feet of water. The finusual high water has con- fronted the railroad people with a serious problem. When the recent desert lines and extensions were sur- veyed the flat, dry beds of ancient lakes were used as much as available for the proposed roadbed, the engineers little dreaming that the roads would ever be troubled with water. The course of the Mojave River is directly toward Death Valley and continued rains . would see it soon pouring its tor- rents from the far-off San Bernardino Mountains into the huge pit. The Salton Sea continues to fill and spread, and the peculiar behavior of the Mojave River gives rise to the question, “Are the ancient seas of the desert returning to their first conditions'?" et Wi TRAINS ARE DELAYED. Landslide in the Tehachapi Mountains Blocks Railrond Trafie. BAKERSFIELD, March 28.—The big landslide at the cast end of tunnel 17 in the Tehachapi Mountains last night completely blocked traffic on both the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe rail- roads today, and late this afternoon the passengers were transferred to the stalled trains on elther side of the tun- nel. Advices received tonight state that the BSouthern Pacific expects to have the track cleared by early morn- ing, but owing to the character of the slide and the position of the tunnel work is progressing very slowly. Trains have been stalled in the yards of both companies, and _tonight all trains from the north over the Santa Fe are late again. The track where it passes through the Visalia flood region and over the Poso Creek region, in Kern County, is almost impassable, and the trains cross with the utmost cau- tion. The Santa Fe officlals have been watching these sections throughout the entire storm. The mails and express have been irregular because of the de- layed train service. L VR, Big Landslide Below Echo. UKIAH, March 28.—A big landslide at tunnel No. 7, below Echo, still pre- vents trains running between this city and Cloverdale, and Ukiah is now on a one-train-per-day schedule. Baggage, mail and passengers are transferred at the tunnel. A crew of 200 men is work- ing night and day to remove the earth which has stopped up the mouth of the tunnel. Last night the track was cleared, but anofher slide larger than the first one came tumbling down the mountain side, completely fllling the north end of the tunnel again as well several rods of track. No freight been received here since Saturday. s e iy Stalled Trains Reach S; Diego. SAN DIEGO, March 28.—The first train arriving in this city since Satur- day last came in this morning, bring- ing passengers and delayed mails. The Santa Fe is reported to be badly dam- aged on this division, and it will be some time before s dules can be re- sumed. - Large forces of men are work- ing at the breaks, and unless further . |rain falls there will be no more trou- ble. day as usual.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, March 28.—After twelve hours’ delay, traffic on the Southern Pacific was resumed tonight. ‘While the tri-weekly was climbing the grade over the mountain this morning the roadbed dropped and threw three coaches off the track. The train was going dead slow, and the passengers escaped injury. It took all day to re- pair the tracks. ———————— DES MO Towa; March 28.—The Sankey bill, providing for a 2-cent rallroad fare in Iowa, was killed today in the House.

The Platte River for a distance of 590 miles is running over its banks and flooding the adjacent country. Nearly all of the streams in the State are in flood condition. Reports of miss- ing ranchmen, damage to ranch and other property and drowning of live- stock are being received. The rail- roads are having difficulty in traversing the flooded territory. The floods are due to melting snow. In the eastern portion of Colorado snow and rain fell tonight. CASPAR, Wyo., March 28.—The North Platte River has been rising at a rapid rate during the last twenty-four hours, owing to the melting of snows in the! mountains. Although the heavy rains of the last few days had caused much apprehension among residents of this part of Wyoming, none were prepared for the overthrow of such a plece of engineering as the huge dam near here, built in connection with reclamation work. When the water swept through the immense masonry many workmen barely escaped with their lives. The dam had been built at a cost of near- ly $100,000. The steel bridge built by the Government six miles below the dam at Fathfinder was also carried away. Small cabins, barns and property of all descriptigns are floating down on the swollen stream, which is spreading over the lowlands and causing great | loss to stockmen and ranchmen. DES MOINES, Iowa, March 28— Floods are causing thousands of del- lars’ worth of damage, throughout Iowa, being largely due to the unpre- cedented rains of the past few days. The situation is most serious at Water- loo, where the Cedar River has over-| flowed its banks, causing loss estimated | at from $50,000 to $100,000. Scores of families were rescued from their homes in boats today. Serious washouts have occurred on the Rock Island railroad tracks, the Illinois Central tracks on the Albert Lea branch north of Cedar Falls and the Waterloo and Cedar Falls interurban line. More than 125 families have been driven from their homes In Cedar Falls, and the city is In darkuess owing to the submerginz of the electric light plant. The water rose so rapidly that many families had no opportunity to save anything. —_————— Steamer Tremont Arrives From Orient. | VICTORIA, B.
