The Governments of the United States
and France have reached peaceful
settlement of the diplomatic complica-
tons arising from the arrest and dis
courteous treatment of Mrs. Dorr, Miss
Vannosstrand and another New York
lady by the French police authorities at
Mentone. These ladies' were arrested

selves as entirely satisfied, the incident
may be regarded closed.

Completing Its LabOrs.
DENVER, COL, September 21.-The
Republicans Santa Fe special says In
the Constitutional Convention today the
question whether the constitution shall
be submitted first to Congress or to the
people for ratification took up most
of the time. The debate was postponed
finally until tonight's session. 1t now
looks as though Congress will be asked
to consider the constitution and give
New Mexico an enabling act before the
people of the Territory have an oppor-
tunity to pass upon it. With the ex-
ception of some minor work yet to be
done by the Committee on Revision and
Adjustment, the convention practically
completed its work today, and an effort
is being made to clean up every
thing before II O'Clock tonight.
A clause was adopted today read
ing as follows: "The natural
right of the people to one day Of rest in
every seven, is hereby acknowledged"
This is as near as the constitution gets
to the observance of Sunday.

Ell DORADO, Kan ,Ssptember 81 Last
Tuesday a farmer named Bloomer placed
young child in the care of Mr.. and
Mrs. Edwards for few hours. When
they returned the child was missing and
no trace could be found. After vigor.
GUS search the Boomers made up their
minds that Mrs. Edwards knew more of
the matter, and charged her with MUIR
dering the child. She denied the
charge. The neighbors placed rope
around her neck and told her that un-
less she confessed che would be hanged
Just as she was about to be pulled up,
she confessed that during a fit of anger
at some childish disobedience she had
killed the little one and given the body
to her husband to dispose of. The hus-
band denied completely in the crime, but
when strung up confessed that he had
seen his wife herself carry the dead body
to the creek and dispose of it. Search is
being made by the neighbors, and if the
story is verified both Of the Edwards will
undoubtedly be lynched.

Pacific Coast where there has been
no boom.
u. There is no risk in making
investments on Gray's Harbor, be-
cause property is so cheap that it is
certain to double inside of three
years.
ID. Gray's Harbor is 700 miles,
as vessels have to sail nearer San
Francisco and the Hawaiian Islands
than Puget Sound ports, and 200
miles less than Portland, Oregon.
IA. The charge for towing and
pilotage is only $50 to $50 on Gray's
Harbor, and from $500 to $500 on
the Columbia River and Puget
Sound.
10. In the near future, when the
railroads now building are COM
pleted, Grays' Harbor will be the
best market for all Island fruits, etc.
as you will not have to compete
with the California products as you
do in shipping to San Francisco.
Is. The Hawaiian Islands will in
a short time get their lumber and
coal from the Harbor.
II. Gray's Harbor and the Ha-
waiian Islands are the most favor
ably located to exchange produce,
as just what is produced on Gray's
Harbor-lumber, coal, salmon, hay
and grain, potatoes, etc., is what
Hawaii wants for her sugar, rice,
coffee, hard woods, and fruits.
Finally Gray'S Harbor is to-day
what Portland and Seattle were ten
years ago and Tacoma five years
back, except that it is more favor
ably located than either of them so
that what has been done in either
of those places can and will be done
on the Harbor.
There is no better place to invest
money with positive certainty of
large profits.
l will be in Honolulu until July
9th, and am stopping at the Eagle
House, where l shall be most happy
to answer all inquiries if in my
power. Yours truly,
