SAN FRANCISCO, March 27.?Six menstole a boat from the wharf this morningand went for a picnic across the bay toSansalito. On the way back the boat wascaught in the tide and swept out throughthe Golden Gate, and when in mtd channelthe boat was capsized by a heavy sea andfour men, John Brown, Richard Costello,Jesse Carter and Isaac Hannah, weredrowned. The other two men, Mike Mc-Cullough and M. Marshall, were saved.

WESTFORT, Cal., March 27,?The steamerVenture was wrecked this morning at 4o'clock at Rockport. Both engineers, thesteward, one fireman and one sailor weredrowned, The vessel was broken in twoand has gone to pieces on the rocks. Thefirst mate was washed off the rocks andonce and then climbed to safety. The sec-ond mate was washed offand t hen climbedupon the stern of the vessel. A rope wasthrown to him, upon which he cameashore. Seventy-five thousand feet oflumber was aboard. The boat shipped aheavy sea suddenly while the vessel layunder a cable, tossing the vessel so hardthat the crew was unable to cut the cableand save the vessel.

CHEHALIS COUNTY POLITICS.

Republicans Will l'ut (*p a Clean CountyTicket.

AHERDEES, March 27.?The absorbingquestion in this county is taxation andeconomy in county affairs. So deep hasthe matter taken hold that leading Repub-licans and Democrats have considered aproposition to abandon party lines as faras county officers are concerned. There isno probability of this being done, however,if as at present indicated, the politicianskeep out of the way and the people aregiven a chance to make party nominations.If this is not done a third party ticket willbe in the field. The Farmers' Alliance hasjust an even 300 membership, and thatentire vote can be depended on to go witha party whose ticket shall be nominatedin the interests of reform andeconomy. The best element of the Repub-lican party is taking hold thus early tothe end that a clean, honest ticket shallbe nominated. The present county com-missioners are blamed, principally for ex-travagance and loose methods of business.One of the commissioners is a Democratand two are Republicans. Those whohave watched the proceedings closely saythat the Democrat and one of the Republi-cans do all the business and run things it

suit them; the other man only fills up ahole. The Republicans will endeavor tonominate throe men who will commandthe confidence of the taxpayers, and whosebusiness capacity has been tested.

From all parts of the county come thebest of crop reports. The weather hasbeen almost all that could be desired, andmuch planting has been done both In gar-den and field. There is a prospect thatChehalis county will raise the greater por-tion of the farm products consumed athome this year, although we are eatingCalifornia stuff just now exclusively. Agreat many fruit trees have also beenplanted. There is also a small quantity ofhome dairy butter in the market, and itbrings CO to 80 cents per roll. With thefinest grass lands in the world, Cnehaliscounty ought to make butter to sell in-stead of buying tons of California andEastern stuff.

A deal is on foot to trade a logging rail-road on the Max Chuck, owned by Aber-deen parties, to the Westport beach people.The latter intend building a motor linefrom the wharf through their townsiteand some three miles down the beach,through the Cohassett resort.

The headquarters ot the Gray's harbordivision construction department of theNorthern Pacific railroad have been movedfrom Montesano to the South Aberdeendepot. Three train crews and 125 laborers,with two steam shovels, are now engagedin ballasting the track in the vicinity ofSouth Aberdeen.

SHOT IN SELF-DEFENSE.

A Saloon-Keeper Wound* a Very Dan-Customer.

SHEITON, Wash., March 27.?[Special.]?John Eberhart.of Aliyn, was brought inlast eveming by Deputy Sheriffs Leakeand Dullield for the shooting of SamuelYinsen, at Allyn, on Thursday at noon.They wore accompanied by CaptainJoseph Herbert, Sandy Mct'avish andPhilip Eiierhart, the latter being wit-nesses. Eberhart's account of the shoot-ing is as follows:

Vinsen, who has the name of a toughcitizen, entered Eberhart's saloon andcalled for drinks. Vinsen's father had re-quested Eberhart not to give him liquor.

Vinsen refused cigars and soft drinkswith an oath, and swore he would cutEberhart's heart out, accompanying thewords with a move for his weapon. Eber-hart then tired two shots from a 45-caliberrevolver. The tirst shot was withouteffect, but the second entered the back ofVinsen's neck from one side, passing out ofthe other.

Vinsen fell to the floor,dropping an openclasp knife with tour-inch blade, Vinsenhas terrorized the saloon several timesand some months ago "cleared it out."

The shooting was clearly in self-defense.Vms-en is 23 years old and is well known

to the police of Tacoma, where he is nowlving with fair prospects of recovery. TheVinsens have a ranch near AUvn. YoungVinsen having lrequently made threats,Eiitrhart says that he feared Vinsen mightcarry them out it reinsect the liquor. Eber-hart will remain in Sheltonuntil this hear-ing at the term of the superior court, com-mencing Tuesday. Those who know youngVinsen regard him as a dangerous cus-tomer.

A DARING JAIL BREAK.

Threw Flea Powder in the Jailer's Eyes

MOXTESAKO, Wash., March27.?[Special.]?lntense excitement was occasioned heretonight by the discovery of the fact thatF. D. Henry and R. E. Lewis had seri-ously injured the jailer, John Pettijohn,and escaped from the county jail.

It seems that when tlieir supper was be-ing handed in to them, it being necessaryto unlock the door to do so, that Lewisgrabbed the jailer, and Henry at the sametime threw Ilea powder in his eyes. Theythen managed to force the door open, andknocking Pettijohn- down with, abillet of wood, took his revolveraway from him and struck out forthe woods back of town. The alarm wasgiven at once, and as two or tiiree menhad seen the direction which they hadtaken pursuit was immediately made, butas it was just after r. and the brief delay,though it was, had given the prisonerstime enough to get out of sight, thechances are all against their being caughttonight. Lewis had just been sentencedto three years hard labor in Walla Wsilapenitentiary and had appealed to the su-preme court for a new trial. Henry wasawaiting trial for grand larceny. Lewis isa well-known gambler and a desperatecharacter, and Henry is the son of ex-Judge Henry, of Olympia, so that theywillfind many in this part of the statewho know them.

REPLY BY SALISBURY.Terms on Which the 3fodus

Vivendi May Be Renewed.

TWO PROPOSITIONS SUBMITTED.

One Is That All Killing Shall Stop,Damages Assessed to Loser.

The Second That Killing on the Rook-

eries and by Vessels That Give Ronds

Shall Continue, Arbitrators to AssessDamages to Losing Tower.

Loxpoy, March 27.?Lord Salisbury,under date of March 2d, replied as followsto Sir Julian Pauncefote in response toMr. Wharton's note ofMarch 22. He says:

Notice lies been given to owners of ships sail-ing for tho Bering sea that tho agreementarbitrate and immediate arrangements underdiscussion between Great Britain and the UnitedStates may affect tbe liberty of sealing in Beringsea They have had noti< e of their liability tointerruption, and will sail subject tothat notice.The question of time, therefore, is not urgent.We concur iu thinking that when the treaty isratified our contract will be governed by yournote of June 14, 1890 But when it is

ratified both parties must admit that thocontingent rights which both desire to protectbecome vested in the other. We think prohibi-tion of seating, if it stands alone, would be un-just to BritUh sealers if the arbitrators shoulddecide adversely to the United States. Wo arewilling,however, when the treaty shall bo rati-fied, to agree to a:i arrangement similar to lastyear's, if the United States willconsent that thearbitrators, in the event of a decision adverseto the United States, shall as.s««s the damagesinflicte-i on British sealers during pendency ofthe arbitration, p.nd in the event of a dec.sioaadver. eto Great Britain, shall assess the dam-ages which the limitation of slaughter shallduring pendency of the arbitration have in-flicted on the United State 3 or its lessees.

As au alternative we are willing, after ratifi-cation of the treaty, to prohibit scaling in dis-puted waters if vessels b3 excepted from theprohibition which produce a certificate thatthey have given security for such damages as

the arbitrators may assess iu case of a decisionadverse to Great Britain, the arbitrators to re-

ceive the necessary authority in that respectIn this case restriction of slaughter on theislands will not, in point of equity, bo necessary.

Her majesty's government is unable to seeany other than one of these two methods of re-stricting seal hunting in the disputed watersduring arbitration which would be equitable toboth parties.

A later note from Lord Salisbury to SirJulian Pauncefote, under date of March26, says:

With further reference to your telegram ofMarch 23 I am not prepared to admit, as Igather that the president thinks, that we ob-jected to the arbitrators having jurisdiction toawarding damages inflicted in the past by theparty against whom the award is given. I onlyobjected to her majesty's government beingliable for acts they have not committed. lamready to consent to referring this po'nt on thofollowing terms: Iu case the arbitrators decidein favor of the British government, they may beasked to further decide whether tho Unitedfetutes government has, since 1885, taken any ac-tion in Bering sea directly inflicting wrongful

loss upon British subjects, and also to assess thedamages incurred thereby: that in case the ar-bitrators der ide in favor of the government ofthe United States, they may ask them to dec.defurther whether the British government has,since 18S5, taken auy action in Bering sea di-rectly inflicting wrongful loss on the UnitedStates and their subjects, and, if so, assets thedamages incurred thereby.

WASHINGTON CITY, March 27. ?Salis-bury's reply to Acting Secretary Whar-ton's note of the 2-' d inst., expressing thehope ol the president that Lord Salisburywould give a prompt and friendly renewalof last year's modus vivendi for the pro-tection of seal life in Bering sea, laidbefore the president this afternoon, bearsdate of the 26th, and was received byWharton today through l'auncefote.When Wharton laid it before the presi-dent he had a brief talk with him regard-ing the contents. Neither the presidentnor the secretary wonld indicate throughthe press the nature of the communication.

l'auncefote's note of June 14, lfctX). toBlaine, referred to in Salisbury's reply ofMarch 2">, expressed his regret at failure toreceive assurance that during the continu-ance of negotiations for the settlement ofthe seal fisheries question British vesselswould not be interferred with by thoUnited States revenue cutters in Beringsea outside of territorial limits, and pro-tested against such interference with Brit-ish vessels, and said that her majesty'sgovernment had learned with greatconcern that the government of the UnitedStates has issued instructions to revenuecruisers about to be dispatched to Beringsea under which the vessels of British sub-jects would again be exposed in the prose-cution of their legitimate industry on thehigh seas to unlawful interference at thohands of American officers. Her majes-ty's government was anxious to co-operateto the fullest extent of their power withthe government of the United States insuch measures as may be found expedientfor the protection of the seal fisheries.They at the present moment are engagedin examining, in concert with the govern-ment of the United States, the best methodof arriving at an agreement upon thatpoint. But they cannot admit tho right

of the United States of their ownsole motion to restrict for this pur-pose the freedom of navigation

of Bering sea, which the United Statesthemselves in former years convincinglyand successfully vindicated; nor to enforcetheir municipal legislation against Britishvessels on the high seas beyond the limitsof their territorial .jurisdiction. Hermajesty's government is therefore unableto pass over without notice the public an-nouncement of intention on the part ofthe government of the United States torenew acts of interference with Britishvessels navigating outside the territoriallimits of the I'nited States, of which theyhave previously had to complain. Thenote concludes:

The undersigned, in consequence, is Instructedto formally protest against meh Interference,and give notice that her Britannic majesty »

government must hold the government of theUnited State- responsible for any consequencesthat may «n<ue from arts which sro contrary tothe e-tablished frincipies of international law.Tlie undersigned is, etc..

JTLIAN PACNCEFOT*.I.ovnoN, Mnrch 27.?The Xeir) approves

Lord Salisbury's proposals, but says theAmericans justly regarded with disfavorthe proposals that the fishery be openedto vessels >r guaranteeing damases.

The Chroni"'t regrets that the corre-spondence will not tend to popularize ar-bitration. It says:

Mr. Blaine very cleverly, by a sort of attor-neys trick, put Lord Salisbury in a somewhatabsurd position by consenting to arbitratewhether we ever had cr have a right to catchseals r.a the way to American breeding waters.We admit oar right as doubtful. The worldwould vote u« fools to go to w«r on

account of «J0 seals. It matters nothingfor President Harrison ti assume an attitudespread-eazleism not only marked by rank iu-just.ee, but perfectly grotesque in Its absurdity.

It is UHI u.at ijtains detected from the first the

EIGIIT-PAGE EDITION

supremo advantage on his side. His govern-ment is on the eve of an eleotica and can alTurdto be ridiculous. We cannot."

LONDON, March 27. ?The Tflrrnaph saysAt present itmust be confessed that negotia-

tions appear to have come to a deadlock not al-together devoid of anxiety or even peril. Onevery ground it is most to bo desired that thoarbitrators shall get to work at the soonest pos-sible moment.

The 77/nessays:Lord Salisbury proposed icveral methods to

mak 3 the awart of the arbitrators retrospective,all of which have been rejected with scant cour-tesy, and oitun scant logic, by the American neg \u25a0-

tlators. Ifncitberol .he equitable modes whichLord Salisbury now ofi.rs bs accepted. It willbe difficult to resist tbe Inference that Americahas remarkable little confidence in her ca,e. Itis difficult to be very sanguine in rostard to adisoutant who failed to take a lesson from theimperturbable courtesy with which Lord Salis-bury sets aside and ignores numerous irreie-vaneies ofAmerican diplomacy.

The Standard says:Lord Salisbury's dispatch to reach tho

utmost bounds of conciliation. It is plain,business-liko and a fair oifer, which Americamust accept or refuse.

THE WORK OP CONGRESS.

Impossible to Predict tho Fate of thoRlaud Rill.

WASHINGTON CITY, Murch27.?The Blandsilver bill still impends over the House as

a cloud whose presence means a possiblestorm, which may disturb the prognosti-cations of those who endeavor to form anaccurate chart course for the legislativeship. Owing to the absence of Catchingsof Mississippi and the desire that thereshall be a full representation of the mem-bers when the rule making the Bland freecoinage bi:l and pending amendments aspecial order is taken up, the rules com-mittee will not report and call up themuch-talkcd-of special order till Tuesday.The silver fight will then be renewed andfought to a finish one way or the other.

Tomorrow will probably be devoted tothe measure-? relating to the District ofColumbia. The remainder of the week notdevoted to the consideration ot the ques-tion will be consumed either in the debateon the tarilF question or the considerationof the regular appropriation bills. No de-cision has yet been arrived at as towhether or not the tariff discussion shallbe further interrupted.

There are three appropriation bills,namely: Naval, consular and diplomatic,and sundry civil hills ready for action bythe House in the order indicated. Therivver and harl>or bill has been agreed uponby the committee, but will not be reportedto the House until the close of the week.

The proceedings will turn upon the ac-tion to bo taken on tho Bering sea arbitra-tion treaty. In the course of legislativebusiness the Indian appropriation bill willbe further considered and there is no morato be said upon the subject of employingarmy officers in the capacity of Indianagents.

The West Virginia indirect tax bill is as-signed for Tuesday, on which day SenatorStanford will also, according to notice, ad-dress the Senate on his bill to determinethe value of the legal tender dollar. It isexpected that the District of Columbia ap-propriation bill will lie taken up after-wards, as this is tlie measure in which thasenators feel much interest, owing, in partto the fact that a majority of them ownhomes in this city. The debate upon thaprovisions of the bill is likely to occupythe Senate for some time.

REPORT ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS

Committee Want, to Consolidate Someof the Missions.

WASHINGTON CITY, March 27.?Blount ofGeorg.a, chairman of the House commit-tee on foreign affairs, has prepared for sub-mission to the llouse an extensive reportaccompanying the regular annual consu-lar and diplomatic appropriation billframed by the committer. The reportsays a careful examination has been madeinto the subject of foreign missions andthe importance of the diplomatic relationswith the several countries of the world.The facilities for transmission and inter-change. it is thought, dispenses with themuch needed foreign representation. In

addition this country has grown tosuch magnitude as to enjoy the re-gard from other nations which guaranteesher against foreign insolence, outrage andcauseless war. Y-ry much might be safelydone in reducing the number of our min-isters by abolition of some and union of

several countries under one mission. Thereis little hope for the acceptance of theseviews by the Senate or president. Itisdeemed best, except in a few instances,when the bill is introduced, to postponeneeded reforms, l'.y mistake of the printerit was announced that Guatemala andVenezuela are to be joined under oneminister. Separata missions are to liemaintained to the two countries and thesalary is lixed at $5,000 each. The reportsays the committee gave earcful attentionto the consular service and revised it ac-cording to the business and importance tothe United States of each place.

Food for Starving Russians.

WASHINGTON CITY, March 27.?At ameeting of the city auxiliary National RedCross Society, it was determined that thoDistrict of Columbia should contributean amount sufficient to send a vessel toRussia with a miscellaneous cargo of arti-

WOKK OF ANARCHISTS,

Attempt to Blow t'p Prosecutor'sHouse at I'arla.

PARIS, March 27.?At 8 o'clock thismorning a dynamite explosion occurredat 39 Rue Clichy, where resided M. Bullot,one of the prosecuting counsel in the re-cent anarchist trial.

The explosion was immediately followedby frenzied shrieks from the occupants ofthe building, who were in bed at the time.Tho main staircase was completelywrecked. A number of half-dressedwomen and children escaped hurriedly bytho servants' staircase. The fire brigadeextinguished a small lire in the debris andrescued the inmates. Seven persons wereseriously injured. The infernal machinewas apparently deposited on the secondfloor, which was occupied by M. Ballot.

The whoie interior of the building waswrecked, and in two adjacent houses altthe doors and windows were smashed.Much furniture was broken into frag-

ments and the courtyard was strewn with

debris. Several workmen engaged in anew building opposite were injured by fly-ing fragments of stone and glass.

Ministers Loubet and Kicard visited thescene during t'je day. M. Bullot andfamily escaped unhurt. The police con-tinue in the search of anarchists' hauntsand in the seizure ofanarch'st publications.

Two brothers named M itthieu, accom-plices of Ravashol, have been arrested.

The explosion caused intense excitementthroughout the city. Nobody feels safe.Late tonight the gendarmes found an in-fernal machine at Ivory barracks and thequenched lighted fuse.
