Registration. This being the fist
day fer the regiStrat on of voters under
the act passed by the late Legislature, the
ARGUs was auSious TO see how it WIS
going, and on inquiry it IS learned that
at > O'Clock this evening only 30 vcters

our voting population. Let every one
remember that unless they register they
cannot vote auI act acooriinGly.
\ BrNcH or KEYs.-The San Fran
cisco E,ccmiRer, of May 18th, contains
the following: a crowded andieBce at
the Bush Street Theatre found "A Bunch
OF Keys" Just as amusing last night as
it SEEMED when its three acts Of uDinter-
rupte,i fun were first ratified off, two
years ago. Al the same place. Nothing
that contributed 10 It's success then Is
missing now, except the bright face and
clever acting Of Lena Merviile. Even
she cannot be said to be very much
missed, for her place is filed quite
as well, and perhaps better by Marietta
Nash, who was formerly the Dolly of the
cast. ". c. Crosbie plays the part of
Littleton Snaggs fully as well as Charles
Bowser did, and the irrepressible and
elastic Canfield still fills the performance
brimful of his particular kind of fun. 1t
is fun that extracts laugh from the
most unwilling spectator. The singing
is acceptable throughout the piece.
Many of the songs are fresh, and the
dancing unusually good, particularly
that of Miss Nash. There is nothing
slow in the entire performance" This
company will appear at Learned's opera
house Wednesday evening, June %.

ding scions of fame be hampercd by the
cruel and hurtiul Vaccinations of the
law: What il our "gawge" should
actually be obliged 10 pick his stint" of
oakum regularly for long weary months
to surprise his nimbe fingers with
real work! What would become of the
"moyem2pt?' Where would that mag
niticent ''co-operative" colony scheme 60
to! And if the creature Of such trans
cendent genius should land in the
"demniticn bow vows" by reason of the
stern hand of the Law shifting that part
OF the willy ''agitator's" frail ANATOMY,
how could such beautiful scheme be
placed on its feet again? It IS "co-opera-
tive" in the fact that the gudgeons are TO
put up their coin while the ssconspira.

nearly ripe, and promised to make the

Is 1t to 5e rudely dashed to the ground

at the horrible picture! Alas. that bud

into il shGpeless, hopeless mass with such
a dull, "sickening thud! This last
remark Is quoted on purposeD Alas,
and alack! that the "leprous horde" of
mongols should be the subject of judicial
Investigation just as our rising young
blackmail lawyers of the west were about
to rear social structure purified of
Pestilential pig-tailed presence! 1t is
too much! Again we say, the soft
fingered leaders and "brdins" Of the
movement should never be subjected
to the indignity of learning to make
shoes at Seatco or pining away in
enforced seclusicn at McNeil's Island.
Our venable 4 convict! Perish the
thought! Let the spirit ef Lawlessness
and Communism concentrate in one long,
loud wall of despair that shall resound
through the blackness of their hopeless
abyss till the foundations OF society
shall quake-till ill-but we forbear.

East Sound Items.

Ed. AKGUs:-Election day draws near
and Local Option will win, as nearly all
the voters here are prohibitionists, and
the balance do not care how it goes.
Since my last visit here, two years ago,
Orcas Island has improved so much that
one would hardly think it was the same
place. The land is being rapidly cleared
up; fine dwellings are taking the places
of the primitive log cabins; good roads
are Being made all over the Island; large
orchards arc being set out, and the
settlers are class that are not afraid to
''get up and rustic" for a living; conse-
quentIy general air of industry seems
to prevade the whole atmosphere.
The school here is well attended and
the scholars seem to be making rapid pro-
gress under the skiIlful management of
their teacher, Miss Ella Kepler. The
Episcopalians have erected fine church
here, which will soon be opened for
service.
Mr.. Chas. Shattuck still keeps the
post Office and store at this place, and
has fair share of patronage.
Several families have come in here
lately from the east and intend to locate
permanently.
Mr.. Daniel Kepler, of West Sound,
Orcas Island, has gone to Washington
to give evidence in the Beecher case.
The excitement today is ''slashing
bee" at Mr.. Walter stills, and about
twenty-five men are busily engaged in
the arduous task of drinking beer and
falling trees There will be big dance
tonight, and "way up" time is expected
The Fourth-of-July festivities here
will commence with childrens' picnic
on the 3rd, which will be held in q grove
near the residence of Mr.. Peter BOstiar.
Two wagons will be in attendance at
East Sound to convey the children 10
and from the picnic grounds.
Mr.. Frank Dixon lost q valuable horse
two weeks ago and experts declare he
was bitten by rattle-snake, as his head
was terribly swollen and other indica-
tions showed that he was undoubtedly
bitten by some poisonous reptile,
although what rattle-snake would bs
doing where there is no whisky I am
unable to imagine.
Yours Respectfully,
Jas. j. DOYLE.

Seattle tomorrow morning on the Rust

The registration law required all nat
uraliZed citizens, or those who have de-
clared their intentions TO become citi-
zens, to exhibit to the registrar either
their citizen papers or their intention
papers. Bring your papers with you when
you go TO register. II they are lost it
will be necessary for you to make affi-
davit to that fact, and you will also have
to present an affidavit of some qualified
registered elector of your having the
qualifications of al elector of Port Town

o'clock the last seat was sold The
Sparks company is in fine form and gives
the piece for its full value. None of the
varied stage business is done in q per-
functory way. Garfield, Stevens and
Crosbie were warmly welcomed last
night, and the gallery reception of the
latter was bowling ovation. Garfield
has elaborated his inimitable eccentrici-
ties and is funnier than ever. An even

TELEGRAPHIc DISPATCHES,
Death Of Hobart PaShn.

LONDON, June 19.-Hobart Pasba
(August Charles Hobart) Marshal of
the Turkish Empire, is dead.
Henry Ward Beeeher sails for
Europe.
New YORK, June 19.-Henry Ward
Beecher started for Europe this morn
ing. He was accompanied by his wife.
Mr.. Beecher's face looked worn and
tired, and he gave every evidence of
need OF rest. Mrs. Beeeher looked very
feeble. To reporter Mr. Beecher said
that he would probably return in the
latter part OF September, or early in
October and would devote his time
while abroad largely to work. A few
days would be spent in London, and
after Mrs. Beecher and he had recuper-
ated from the voyage, they would go on
a tour through Scotland, Ireland and
Wales. He would probably lecture
throughout Great Britain. As the Etru-
ria moved off Mr.. and Mrs. Beecher
stood on the hurricane deck and waved
handkerchiefs to their frieLds. A
steamer filed with members of Mr..
Beecher's congregation accompanied the
Etruria down the bay.
street Car strike at MianeapoIis.
MISNEAPoLIs, June 20.--A general
strike of all the street car drivers in the
city was inaugurated this evening, the
cause being the prohibition made by the
company against drivers sitting down.
By 10 o'clock almost all the drivers left
the cars. The company made an effort
to supply their places with new men,
but the strikers advised and assisted the
recruits to tie up cars. The superinten-
dent has appealed to the mayor for
police protection.
