Secretary Villas last Tuesday modi-
fed the decision of the commissioner
of the general land office, who held for
cancellation certain lands entered by
Edward c. Smith, in the Olympia, w.
T., land district, for the Orcas Island
Lime mine, on the ground that the en-
try was for land other than that To-
Gated. The evidence disclosed the
fact that filed notes and notices posted
on the land entered describe the entry
as situated in sections 81 and SO, town
ship 81 north, range 9 west, while the
fact is the land is bounded by sections
81 and 36, township 81 north, ranges
and 3 west The mistake is accred-
tied to an error made by the United
States deputy mineral surveyor. The
secetary's modification permits Smith
to make entry for the land he claims,
upon showing that he has given the
prOper nOti.e and furnished n new
plat properly describing the land.

OLYMPIA. FRIDAY EVENING. NAY II, 1855.
A Peg for Party Comfort.

The failure Of the well-known
firm of VIM. T. Coleman & Co., OF
San Francisco, few days ago, was
asurprise to many people who have
not carefully watched its opera
tions. The liabilities are given at
$2,OOO,OOO, with assets, it is claim
ed, considerably in excess Of that
amount, but unavailable for i'm
mediate use. An effort has been
made to attribute the suspension
to the operation Of the clause in
the Mills bill for admitting borax
free from duty, in which article
the firm had control of the only
deposit in the United States, in San
Bernardino and Inyo counties, CAL,
which yielded sufficient guam
tity to supply the world. One of
Coleman's projects, it is said, was
to obtain absolute control of that
comniodity. If this be true, the
attempt 70 create a little passing
political capital out of a failure of
such a grasping cormorant will
find little favor with. those accus-
toned to view such questions from
both sides.
1t is more than probable, how
ever, that the collapse was owing
to. other causes, dating much further
back than the comparatively recent
agitation of the tariff question.
One of these was the effort made
last year by that firm to obtain
control Of the fruit trade, especially
Of raisins, in which, it is said, it
was ambitious OF making a corner.
Disappointed in obtaining the up
per hand in this deal, the firm
evaded, as far as possible, the filling
of promised orders, and this seri-
ously embarrassed its credit. The
loss from the venture is placed at
a million dollars. Salmon and 9TH
er canned goods were likewise made
the medium of transactions de-
signed to place small dealers at its
mercy, and in this, too, the fates
seemed 10 be against the larger COM
bination, and Il was unable to ill
orders, causing great loss to many
houses in Eastern cities. This dis
position to control competition is
attributed to the ambitious aims
of Frank johnson, a younger men,
Der Of the firm, rather than to the
: hitherto sound business policy that
has marked the career of Mr..
Coleman. :i-.
! II y quite evident that in these
sransact tons and methods caH be
found ample cadse for the crash,
without attributing it to the reason
assigned BY those who are on the
alert to turn al passing events to
political account.

In a Quandary.

1t is quite evident that the Re-
publican convention which lately
met at North Yakima took Mr..
Blaine at his word when he declined
in advance the nomination for the
Presidency by the Republican con-
vention of the nation. 1t is not
necessary to search for the motive
which prompted the rejection of a
resolution that simply expressed
admiration of the exalted talents,
eminent services and sturdy devo-
ton to the principles Of genuine
Republicanism," of Mr.. Blaine,
without in the slightest degree
committing the delegates to the
National convention to his support.
The motion to adopt was defeated
by too large majority-52 to 80
to leave any doubt that the
" Plumed Knight" was knitted de-
iberately, premeditatedly and de-
terminedly, in the house of his
friends. 1t is a clear case of the
absolute ostracism of one who has
hitherto been considered about all
there is of the Republican party
that could be embodied in any indi-
vidual. Whether the convention,
under the leadership of such men
as Nick Owings and Tom Cavan-
augh had formally concluded that
it was better to " Rule in He'll
than serve in Heaven" by securing
the nomination of some such man
as Gresham, or that the lion being
dead they could show their courage
by pulling his tail, certain it is that
a resurrection was the last possibil-
ity that ever entered the heads of
the convention at North Yakima,
and has placed them in position
where the chances of ruling even
in the land of sulphur is exceed

More Blundering Legislation.


The Orsgonion's travelling cor
respondent has created a sensation
by publication of report that At
torney-General Metcalfe has given
it as his opinion that the official
tenure OF the present members of
the Legislatnredses not legally ex-
,pire until next March, notwith-
standing that body has provid-
ed for session in January,
1885, The object of the change
wass 70 bring the date Of. Assem-
bly, of the lawmakers nearer the
time of their election, instead Of
thirteen months after; as had been
the ill-arranged customs, and
there was probably not member
of the Legislature who did not be-
lieve that the act covered that
ground. ! III.
If Congress should sanction the
change, by making an appropia7,
ton for the expenses Of a session
in January, it will have likewise
to stlAiehteni out TINS snarl that
onr wise men have caused, and
provide that the Councilmen and
Representatives to be elected next
November shall constitute the Leg
islative body that convenes on the
second Monday Of November fol
lowing; otherwise, there will be
confusion, and probably a. conflict
Of authority, whether Mr.. Metcalfe's
construction of the law be the
proper one or not. This compli-
cation should not be allowed to
arise, when Congress can SO easily
cnre the defect, and prepare the
way for giving vitality to the clear
" understood will of the Legislature
and people. Congress may not
deem 3 session necessary, SO: soon
after the late miserable failure at
legislation, and make no appropria- !
zion, in which case the late enact
4ipent Will be practically void; but if
the expense is incurred and nothing
further done, the result will prove
quite as disastrous as when the ap-
pie Of discord, inscribed, aTo the
fsirest Of the fair, /" was tossed over

A REMARKABLE instance of self-pos-
session was manifested by Mrs. Ira
Light, of Steilacoom, few evenings
ago, under circumstances that would
have appalled, many OF the sterner sex.
A woman who had lately come to the
town called on Mrs. L. in the dusk, Of
evening, and claimed protection from
alleged cruelties of a brutal husband
and permission to.-pass the night in
her house. This Mrs. L. Immediately
granted, and after the strange woman
had been assigned bed in the "spare
room," she returned and asked for
hammer and nails to fasten down the
window-sash for fear of an entrance by
the inhuman monster who had threat
ed her life. These she obtained and
for sometime busted Herself about the
window in the seeming task of mailing
it down. Shortly afterwards the host
ess entered the bedroom to sec if her
apparently agitated guest was as COM
Portable as circumstances would war
rant, when glance at the bed dis
closed the form of man but partially
concealed by the drapery. Instead of
screaming or betraying IN any manner
her knowledge of his presence, she
chatted awhile with the woman and
having bid her goodnight, left sthe.
room, and very comp6sedly pursued
her duties about the house until ia
vorable opportunity occurred when
she hagtsued down town and informed
the constable of the circumstances.
The officer proceeded to the house and
took the parties into custody. 1t is
plain that the whole proceeding was
but an ingeniously arranged plas, -csuy
cpcted by the wife and brutal hus.
band" for robbing the family that had
30 kindly extended the woman their
aid; but of course no offense under
the statute could be proven, and the
parties were discharged with the I'M
Outstanding that they immediately
leave town. The circumstance is pub
lisi1cd as q warming to those whose
charitable impulses may DO made the
means of gross imposition upon their
