WHERE 10 PUT 1T.


The Coliax Commoncr says: Among
the separate propositions To be voted on
ut this coming election is the location of
the seat of government. This is ques-
ton that should bc carefully considered
by the voters, So when the capital Is
once located il will be there to stay. 1t
should be at Al point easy of access from
all parts, aud ut q place where the
grounds could be made pleasant and at
tractive. It SHOULD be rs near the cen.
ter of the new state as possible. In
looking over the different places that are
aspiring to he the capital, North Yakima
seems to POSSESS advantages that the
voters would do we'll to consider. The
situation is central as regards east and
west, and according to the census II Is
near the center of population. The
Geographical position of North Yakima
also furnishes strong reasons for the es-
tablishment of the capital there. The
Orcgonian, of the 2lst, gives strong rea-
sons. II says: "'fhe town is situated
in the Yakima valley, which is nearly
100 miles in length. Through this val
ley rups the Yakima river, about 100
miles from the mouth of which is located
the town on its left bank. Through
this valley also flows the Natchcss, tho
Topcnish, also the Atahnnm. Each of
these rivers leads to mountain passes.
Thus, by these various passes, the way
is open for steel highw,sys to all parts
of Puget Sound, the Columbia
river, Vancouver and Gray's Har-
Dor. Thus situMed ON the Northern
Pacific, in a bolutiflii valley with plenty
of water 1t must, Gro long, become the
garden spot of tho state, and OH account
of its favorable LOCATION 1t will become u
great railroad center" Its climate Is
mild. and the surrounding country is
rich in its yield of cereals, hops, to-
bacco, fruits of all kinds. No pleas
antcr spot could be found this side of
the mountains for the capital OF the
great state of Washington. From Whit
man county II is but about twelve
hours ride by direct road, so the voters
of this county, in looking for place to
establish the capital, could lind no place
more convenient or better adapted than

Building,

Building.
CHICAGO, Sept. 14.--Between 5000 and
10, 900 people rushed pell nell out of the
exposition building tonight, falling
over each other and down stairs from the
gallery, and many jumping through the
windows in hurry TO escape. A fire
had started in one of the big booths near
the center Of the huge structure and
glare of flames and crash of plate glass
caused 1t. The police men, women and
children joined in mad rush for an
exit, which were, fortunately numerous
enough to prevent any fatal crushing.
Within five minutes excited thousands
of people were safe outside
the structure and few minutes
thereafter the flames were extinguishei
and one-fourth of the interior of the
exposition Is In ruins. Tho damage to
the building itself was slight and the art
gallery wholly escaped. Losses of tho
exhibits will reach 81, 500. No persons
were reported seriously injured, though
many suffered numerous hurts, and
others had decidedly disagreeablc ex-
periences. One young lady and her
escort were compelled to descend from
the roof. The fire was caused by an
ignited carbon falling from one of the
electric lights into pile Of ribbons.

charges of attempts to corrup. members to
vote for him. He devotes considerable
space to the occurrence at Washington be-
tween Senat r Blackburn of Kentucky and
himself last February, and says: "The whole
affair occupied hardly more than a minute
l remained seated In my chair, expected no
personal violence, and was subjected to none
and to no appreciable iniignity save threat
ening words and gestures. do not think l
was in the slightest degree excited, disturbed
or apprehensiye. All accounts which rep
resent Blackburn as pulling my ear or drag
ging me from my chair, or hauling me about

protection of the committee, or in any way
deprecating Blackburn's wrath, are untrue.

CRITICAL MAJOR PLAlsrED
Finds Fault with the Colonel Of the
First Regiment.

AUGUSTA, June 2O.-Brigade Inspector
report. He makes serious statements and
criticisms as the result of his observations at
the last annual encampment of the Maine
Volunteer Militia. He says that at the dress
parade on Wednesday, though specially in
structed the Colonel of the First Regiment
formed on brigade line with his left resting
on the :marker where his tight should be,
leaving whole division front more than
there should have been between the two in
fantry commands. The Second Regiment
did not come to attention from parade
rest at the command of the Assistant Adju-
tant General"
On Thursday, says Major Platsted. "the
desire of the Colonel of the First Regiment
is to do all the rifle shooting during drill
hours. Every excuse is made to avoid duty.
None of his men can shoot except at the reg
ular hours appointed for drill. There is no
reason why an officer who is competent to
command a regiment should allow company
team shoot to deprive his whole command of
half days instruction in the movements of
battalion"
Major Plaisted continues his criticism OF
Col. Lyncn's command at the dress parade
on Thursday. The Colonel, although repeat
edly INSTRUCTED" ;" formed his command with
the left resting where the right should.
Again, on Friday, when the First Regi-
ment moved from the camp to the Augusta
House to escort the commander-in-chief to
the camp, the colonel commanding neglect
ed to cause his command to fix bayenets' at
the praper time, and halted on the road to
do so. After arriving at camp the regiment,
on.forming line from column, faced some one
way and some another. The line was un-
even and ragged. As whole the duty was
performed in a very poor manner and totally
unworthy Of an officer of much less expert
ence than Col. Lynch"
The brigade inspector in his report on Fri
day evenings dress parade, speaks OF the
colonel of the First Regiment in the follow
ing terms: I'm forming brigade line the
colonel of the First Regiment again formed
where his right should be. He was ordered
to take his proper position by the assistant
adjutant general, but absolutely refused,
making some saucy reply. 1t is impossible
to think that this mistake. repeated three
times by Col. Lynch, is due to ignorance.
Such action seems to me unworthy of an Off
Ger or gentleman, and demands an apology
to the General commanding, or \ prompt
forwarding of his resignation"
A reporter of the PRESS went to the house
of Colonel Lynch last night, but as the
Colonel WAS not at home, it was not possible
to learn his reply to the criticisms in Major
Plaisted's report.l
