posed Of farmers, business men and capi.
tslists, who have appointed committees to
meet and confer with the North Carolina
Commissioners a. and TO offer such induce

WASHINGTON CONSTITUTION.
Wrestling With the Corporation Clauses
Copying Federal Laws.

OLYMPIA wv. IT,, August 2d.-The sec.
ton in the article on corporations requiring
foreign corporations doing business mere to
have their books in the State, with COM
plete records of all their business transac-
tions, open to inspection, was. defeated this
afternoon by large vote
Another section, providing for an elective
Board of Railway Commissioners, who
shall have absolute control of all trans
portation companies, was a subject of ami
mated debate, and it appears likely that it
will be defeated, as petitions from many
Boards of Trade and City Councils are
pouring in against it.
A number of other sections in the article
on corporations were adopted. The State
is forbidden to loan its credit or own any
corporation stock.
The section on banking is said to be al
most an exact counterpart of the Federal
laws on the subject. In that part on rail
roads The section which was adopted is
practically the same as the interstate long
and short haul clause

Short water supply is the complaint
from most quarters, but the South Yuba
Company will have an abundance to sup
ply all their customers.
The Women's Christian Temperance
Unions Convention was a grand success.

out too long programme for the time at
their disposal.
Henry Kishberger's house, near the Wv
oming mine, was burned down Yesterday
afternoon, and from the building the fire
extended to the woods adjoining, and
burned great deal of underground tim
Der before it was checked.
There have been some suspicious look
ing individual around town the past week.
Tramps seldom get off the line of the Cen
tral Pacific, and therefore we have been
free from them as rule, but it is thought
that some of them have now wandered over
here.
The old Eagle Bird promises to eclipse
any record it has yet made. The rock COM

DAyIDsoN's COMET.
Description of Its Magnitude, Position
and Coloring.

Description of Its Magnitude, Position
and ColOring.
MOUNT HAMILTON (via San JOSEF, August
2d.-The spectrum of Davidson's comet
was observed here by Mr.. Keller with the
twelve-inch equatorial on July 1st, and
with the thirty inch equatorial August
1st The comet showed a spectrum con-
sisting of three somewhat diffuse bright
bands, which were found to be identical in
position with the carbon autings given by
the blue fame of a spirit lamp. A faint
luminosity connected the bands so that the
spaces between them were not perfectly
dark.
The nucleus gave continuous spectrum
not extending below the d line, with slight
brightenings at the positions of the carbon
flutings. Such spectrum would probably
be given by the material of thu comet at
an increased pressure. Although the comet
is now rated at about thesixt magnitude,
its spectrum is much fainter than that of a
star of this brightness, on account of the
diffusion of its light over large area.

Last Thursday three Indians stopped at
the Rum river trading post to have their
wounds dressed. One of them could not
walk alone. His face was cut and hacked
in half a dozen places, and he was seriously
stabbed in the abdomen.
1t is reported at the trading post that
three Indians were killed in the drunken
fracas. No whites were molested. Whisky
will effect the removal of the Mile Lacs
band in few more years, and the people
here, who are acquitted with many of the
Indians think it is an outrage that unprin-
cipled white men should be permitted to
furnish them liquor for the sake of gain.
