By a vote of 1.120 to 768 the miners of Goldfield and Diamondfield have decided to hold their meetings entirely seperate from those of the Industrial Workers of the World. This is really the first step on the part of the Western Federation of Miners- of this district the organization which has been the cause of their tremble. Among many the impression is prevalent that Ihe action of the miners settles the strike. This is far from the truth, but it is a most favorable sign as now, for the first time in the history of the camp, the miners will be allowed to meet alone and discuss freely the questions most vital to their interests. There is little doubt that within a short time this will mean the withdrawal of the miners from the I. W.

Sacramento Valley Experiencing Worse Floods Than That of 1904. Sacramento, Cal. From all downriver points conies alarming news that the Sacramento river is higher than ever known and that the situation all along the levees is appalling. Every man is assisting in the fight against the water that, is pouring into the branches and inundating thousands of acres of the finest farming land in the state. Special dispatches to the Union from Freeport, Courtland, Walnut Grove and Franklin state that the river has reached the highest stage ever recorded and it is predicted that the terrible scenes which were witnessed during the tremendous floods of 1904 will he surpassed. Standing on the levee near Court-lan- d one may look for sixty miles to the southeast across an unbroken sea of water, which extends clear to Stockton. Thousands of cattle are being sheltered on top of the levees, as there Is no other place for them, and If the water does not fall soon, an indescribable condition of disaster Is considered inevitable able-bodie- d -- bill. Senators J. H. Seeley and Peter Clegg banqueted the members of the third house the newspaper men on Wednesday evening before the close of the session.

State, county and city treasurers are to care for the public money in their keeping as they see fit, depositing the funds in banks not designated by law. Two bills requiring designation of depositaries for state and lity funds were killed in the house. The vexing problem of juvenile courts seems to have been solved by adoption of two acts relating to the case of delinquent children. The bills which survived of a number that were Introduced on the subject provide for the appointment for first and second-clascities of juvenile judges by a commission consisting of the governor, attorney general and state superintendent of public instruction. Provision is made for experiments In subterranean explorations with a view to discovering flows of water that may be used for both land reclamation purposes and domestic uses. Generous appropriations have been made for systematic borings and demonstrations. The governor has signed the hill allowing the Salt Lake school board to mills instead of levy a tax of 6 5Vg mills, the limit now allowed by law. This means that the teachers will be allowed an increase in salary at the beginning of the next s hool year. As a result of the bounty bill passed at this session, sheepmen are to be assessed a tax of three mills for the purpose of destroying wild animals. Certificates are not to be issued efter the fund is exhausted, which means s Declaration Read Before Lower House of Parliament Avoids all Reference to Drumhead Courtmar-tia- l and Other Cases of Contention, St Petersburg. The ministerial declaration setting forth the program for legislation was read Tuesday afternoon by Premier Stolypln before the lower house of parliament. The declaration avoided all reference and all to drumhead court-martiother cases of contention and was received in silence. M. Stolypln at the close received hearty applause from the conservatives. The first speech, however, that of Prince Zereteli, in behalf of the social democracy, evoked an angry scene between members of the right and left parties, in which such epithets as liar and "murderer were freely exchanged. The prince proposed a resolution arraigning the government for violating all the rights of the people promised in the imperial manifesto of October 30, 1905, and concluding with the declaration that the people can liberate their friends, fighters for freedom, only when they themselves are free.
