THE alta HoUsE.-Some weeks ago we
announced a change of proprietors in the old
hotel at the river side. Since that time Mr..
L. A. Willis and Capt. Joseph Sloan have
put in month of hard work, with carpen-
ters, painting and paper hanging, going
through the building and improving it all
that was possible on short notice. The re-
suit has been great improvement Of the in
ternal arrangements Of the house, for the
benefit of it's guests as well as the convent
ence Of its proprietors. Many of the rooms
have been enlarged, new rooms added, and
a convenient porch added on the west side.
Paper and paint have added much to the ap.
pearance of all the rooms, and with the ad-
dition of plenty of good furniture the real
comforts of the house are entirely changed
for the better The Office is improved, and
will have at one side bar for the accommo.
dation of travellers. The room across the
hall has been enlarged and will be used as a
billiard room. The dining room remains the
same size as formerly, but there is attached
two private dining-rooms, adapted to the
wants of families or travelling parties. In
the second story in the northeast corner
two rooms have been thrown into one, for
the ladies' reception room or parlor. and it
is truly pleasant apartment. Other ar
rangements have been made also for the bet
ter accommodation of those who will pat
ronize the house. The new landlords go to
work as though they knew all about keeping
hotel, and they promise to do better by
the travelling public than has ever been done
before in Vancouver. The house will be
run under its original name, the Alta House.
! In few days it will be open for the recep-
ton of guests.

NINE EXPLOSION.
Further Particulars of the Mid Lothian
Disaster.

RICHMOND, Feb. 5.
A telegram from Coalfeld, relative to the
mine disaster at Mid Lothian, says that Sup
erintendent Dodd and two others went down
into the shaft about noon but returned before
reaching the bottom. They found no indica-
tons of fire. A party of five went down this
afternoon to repair the brattice and restore
ventilation, which was cut on by the brattice
being tumbled in by the force of the eXpio-
sion. The party remained below until after
four o'clock when they came up and reported
that there was slight prospect OF reaching
that portion of the mine where the men were
entombed tonight.
The latest intelligence from Mid Lothian
mine disaster is that the miners at work clear
ing the shaft have discovered one body but
air was SO foul they were forced to suspend
operations and come out 1t is not probable
that ANYTHING more can be done tonight.
The latest reports from Mid Lothian mine
disaster are that during this morning relief
party descended grove shaft but were COM
PEELED to return before reaching bottom. AT
l p. NJ, another party went down to the bot
tom and upon return reported pure air be-
low. At half past two Superintendent DOd'l
with the third party made the descent and
remained nearly an hour. After reaching
the bottom they explored the tunnel for some
distance and at the mouth of one of the
chambers in the vicinity of the engine they
discovered another body supposed to be that
of the colored fireman. His body, together
with that discovered last night, was brought
to the surface this evening. The work of i'm
proving the ventilation is still progressing
and it is expected by tomorrow that satisfac.
tory discoveries will be made.

GUlTEAU IN JAIL.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.
The van in which Guiteau was taken from
the court house to the Jail reached its desti-
nation without accident. The prisoner re-
marked as he stepped out, this is regular
Western snow storm, it reminds me of
Chicago. He was taken at once to his
cell and guard was place over him. This
precaution is always observed in the case of
prisoners under sentence of death, and will
be rigidly adhered to in Guiteau's case, both
by day and by night. The Jail officials,
however, do not believe there is the slightest
danger of any attempt on his part at suicide
at least until after the review of the case bv
the court in bance. All sorts of wild rumors
were circulated, that Guiteau had killed him
self on the way to the Jail, that he had hung
himself in his CELL that he had taken poison
which had been furnished him by some
means unknown to the guards and other
groundless stories, all of which have been
rumOred several times before. Guteau him
self scorns the idea of suicide which would
detract altogether too much from the upper
ishable halo which he believes will enshrine
his memory as a martyr in the event of the
sentence of death being executed upon him.

THE JEANETTE SEARCH.
Correspondence Between James Gordon
Bennett and the Sec'y Of the NAVY,

WASHINGTON, Feb L.
The Secretary Of the Navy, this morning,
received the following cable dispatch from
James Gordon Bennett who is in Paris:
To Secretary of the Navy,
Permit me to suggest in reference to the
request of Lieut. Danenhower to go back
and continue the search, that in view of his
condition he should be ordered home. If he
returns north there is a strong possibility of
his losing his eyesight entirely, but on his
way home he could have the best medical
attention, and perhaps regain the use of his
eyes. 1t does not seem to me necessary to
send line officers from America 1t would
only put the government to unnecessary ex-
penses, as have already sent a man who is
now on his way to Irkutsk, and Mr.. Sober.
cakofi having kindly placed his steamer THE
Lena at my disposal. the search for belong
and Chipp can, with the assistance of the
Russian authorities and natives. be contin-
ued with all possible energy and efficiency at
the earliest practicable moment. If Dauen-
hover and the invalids under his charge are
ordered home, will see that they have all
possible care and the best of medical atten-
dance on the way. 1 make these suggestions
entirely without Danenhower's knowledge.
The Secretary Of the Navy has cabled Mr..
Bennett IN reply, that he has sent orders for
the return home of Lieut.. Danenhower in
accordance with Benefits suggestion, and
that be has already ordered two officers to
Europe to take part in the search for belong
and Chip. and that he thinks this necessary
in case Of accident to Engineer Melville, and
as . matter of duty from the many to the
oncers and men in distress. Nearly one humid.
red naval ofhcers applied for orders to be zen,

Hon. Artemas Libbey. though demo-
crat. was appointed one Of the Justices of
the Supreme Judicial Court of this State.
by Governor Dingley. a republican. and
the nomination was confirmed by re-
publican council. Mr.. Libbey received
the appointment because of his eminent
fitness for the position. In age. expert
ence in the courts. learning. ability.
character. dignity. and in the cast of his
mind he was a model man among the first
lawyers Of the State for the position.
During his term upon the Bench he has
eminently met the high expectations of
those who gave and advocated his APP
pointment to that honorable and
responsible place. Now that his
first term is about to expire. Governor
Plaisted has seen fit to drop his name for
reappoiutment. and to present the name
of another person instead. The ways of
Governor Plaisted are inscrutable. He
and his friends have made an immense
slamor about republican ostracism of
democrats; yet here is democrat app
pointed by a republican Governor. and
democratic Governor casts him overheard
to take a new and untried man. Judge
Libbey stands before the State As Judge
without reproach. learned. upright. just
in all his dealings in his high office. but
though he is all this and democrat be-
sides. he is not Of Governor Plaisted's
peculiar stripe of democrats and hence he
must be cast aside. We think the number
of republicans who have favored the
appointment of democrats in places Of
trust and responsibility when the re-
publicans have the power has been very
much lessened by the course Governor
Plaisted has pursued in this matter.

The Spring Elections.

The approaching town and city cleo
tons deserve early and earnest attention
BY republicans. In every town and every
city in the State there is need Of wisdom
in making the best selections for mu-
nicipal officers. choosing those for can
didate. who will combine capability. ef-
6ciency and honesty. in the discharge Of
official duties. with personal popularity
among the voters.
Next September we elect governor
for two years, a legislature for two years
that will have United States Senator to
elect. representatives in Congress, and
county officers. The election in Septem-
Der will be one of great importance. 1t
will be national in its significance. IL
will determine the political character Of
the full delegation from Maine in the ma
tional house Of representatives. and one
half of one delegation In the senate OF the
United States. Il will decide whether the
principles Of the republican party or those
of the opposition are to control this State
in the future.
With such great questions as these. de-
pending upon the election to occur in Sep
TENDER, it ought to be unnecessary for us
to urge upon republicans the necessity OF
taking every care and using all necessary
and proper effort to carry the sping cleo
tons, for these elections will have pow
erful influence upon the September cleo
ton. The men who are elected to town
AID city Offices in the coming elections
will have control of the ballot-boxes next
September. They will decide what names
shall be placed upon the voting lists and
what If any shall be stricken off. In the
hands OF democrats. these powers are no.
toriously abused 1t is not in the Southern
States alone that they prevent. when they
can, voters opposed To them exercising the
right Of suffrage. or counting out repub-
licans honestly and fairly elected to office
to give their places to democrats not
elected and in no way entitled to hold the
Offices given them.
A word to the wise is sufficient. This is
not time for bringing up side issues in
our spring elections. 1t is not time
for clisueism. or favoritism at the
expense of the general ticket. re-
publicans should give long pull and
strong pull altogether. Nominate the
best men. who will perform the duties of
the offices to which they may be chosen
honestly and i'll unite republicans and
strengthen the ticket at the polls. The
elections will soon be upon us. 1t is high
time to make preparations for them. Let
there be no tagging. no indifference any
where. In 1880 our State was nearly re-
deemed from fusion misrule. In 1882 we
must make the redemption complete, but
in order to do it we must begin now and
see to it that the town elections to occur
in March are wisely and energetically con-

can party and its principles.
