OLYMPIA. Nov. Is.
Outside of the Governors nomina
tons, which were sent in TO the Council
on Saturday. the most important meas
ure before that body WAS the introduc.
tion and consideration of what is known
as the PIlot.bill. Mr.. Kerr advocated
the measure. and in carefully prepared
speech made a strong argument IN III
favor Mr.. Collins then took the door
aud for fifteen minutes gave reason
after reason whv the bill should no,
pass. He declared that Puget Sound
was Gods highway, and its shores are
we'll snppiIed with lighthouses and fog
whistles, so that any man fit to com
mand vessel could sail into the Sound
through the straits of San Juan de Fuca
As safely ~ he could navigate the Pa
cific Ocean. He declared that neither
shipowners, nor insurance companies,
nor commerce asked for any pilot Law.
and therefore he would oppose It. The
bill was indefinitely postponed bv a
vote Of ii to 1.
Following is a list of appointments
sent In by the Governor, which were
considered in executive session ON Sat
urday. Bot three, the Auditor, Treas
urer and Librarian, were confirmed.
and the rem ining names on the Inst
VIII bs considered ON Monday. Consid-
erabie feeling against some of the ap-
poiptments seems to exist, and several
whose names appear ia this list will
probably not be confirmed:
Auditor, Thomas Nj. Reed; Treasurer,
Thomas N. Ford; Superintendent Of
Public Instruction, Charles w. Wheeler;
Librarian, T.. Des Newell. Board of
Education-Dr. w. l.. West, Mrs. =. G..
Hale. X. G. Kerr. Insane Trustees-G.

Notwithstanding the Council by vo o
of 3 to4 declared that they did not want
the memorial introduced by Mr.. Smith,
praying for division of the Territory,
printed, Saturday morning found it
printed and circulated all over both
Houses of the Legislature. This was
considered by the Council as gross in
suit to that body, and an investigating
has been appointed to inquire
into that matter. and find who the par
ties are who 80 openly and grossly per-
petrated the insult. The matter here is
looked upon as big play to influence
the passage of an apportionment bill
Which will give the Eastern portion of
the Territory greater representation in
the Legislature; but it is certainly
very diabolical scheme, and will fall far
short of having the desired effect.

About a week ago an old Indian liv-
ing on Mud Bay, few miles west of
this town, went into trance and laid
in n stupid condition for several days.
His "tilacums'' thought he must be
dead, and made preparations to bury
him. While the funeral ceremonies
were going on, the Indian came to life,
and, jumping up, declared ia most
eloquent manner 10 the two hundred
that he had been communing
with the Great Spirit, and had learned
that the world was coming to an end in
a few months. He further told them
that he had been appointed by the
Great Spirit al their leader. and that
they must build him good house and
furnish il with the neOessarios Of life.
He WAS at once declared Big Chief
and the Indians look upon him rs god.
He commanded them all 20 be good In
dians, and told them that they must 90
to church regularly. Accordingly, to-
tlay they formed in procession. with the
Big Chief az the head, and marched into
town in line, chanting praise and look
ing very grave and solemn. They each
held mp one hand as they marched
through the principal streets, and pre-
ssnted a spectacle well worth seeing.
They we're about two hundred strong,
,uen, women and children, aud at II
o'clock they marched to the Presbyte-
rian Church, where they were kindly re-
ceiyed, and during the services they lis
tened With the most marked attention.
They Believe every word the new chief
tells them, aud would not disobey him
for the world.
