THE U. P.'s FAST TRAINS.
The Northern Pacific Will Not Follow
Suit for u While.

Sr. PAUL, Nov 21.-The successful in
auguration of the Union Pacitc's new
fast train has not as yet had u per-
ceptible effect upon the Northern Pa
cihc, and it is question whether it
will, for the present at least. The Union
Pacific had train out of Portland Sun
day which made the run to Chicago in
precisely three days. The Northern
Pacific time is four days. There is no
question about the latter being able to
make as fast, if not better. time than
the Union Pacific, but 1t is question
whether it is advisable to inaugurate
such a fast service at this time of
year. In week or so the country
between the Mississippi river and the
coast will be covered with snow, and in
consequence a continuous rate OF speed
of fifty miles an hour would be exceed
ingly dangerous. IL is more than likely
that the Northern Pacific will make no
material change in running time, at
least not until spring opens.
Sunday the company opens its Little
Falls cutoff. which will shorten the
mileage to the coast twenty seven miles.
The operation of this line does not. how.
ever, change the time of the arrival and
departure of trains at the company's
terminals.

The CHANGE IN BRAZIL
Discussion by the n-Ameri-
can Congress.
RETURN OF The DELEGATES.
An Injudioious Resolution Tabled
After an Interesting Debate
Quiet Reigns.

WAsHINGroS, Nov. 21.-Secretary
Blaine called the Observation-Disclosures
can conference to order this afternoon
to DIR. Guzman, delegate from Mic
aragua. DR.. Valento, Brazilian minis
ter, arose and said that the Brazilian
delegates had been prevented from occu-
pying seats at preceding sessions for
reasons which must have been apparent
to tho other delegates. They were now,
however, ready to lay before the presi-
dent their credentials that they might be
acted upon in due course. The an
nouncement was greeted with loud ap-
plause. Delegate Henderson of the
United States Immediately offered the
following resolutions:
Resolved, That the congress welcome
the United States of Brazil into the sis
terhood of American republics.
After the introduction of the resolu-
tion Delegate Hortads. of Colombia
moved that the resolution be tabled
1t was not proper for delegates to recog-
nize the new government In the absence
of instructions from their own govern
ments. This was seconded by several
delegates. Mr.. Henderson said he was
sorry to place any of the other represent
atives in an awkard position, but so far
as he was concerned he should hail with
equal pleasure the announcement that
Spain, or England, or any other mon-
archy had adopted republican institu-
tions.
The Chilian delegate agreed with
Henderson''s ideas generally, but felt
constrained to postpone the matter out
OF regard for the official character of
some Of the delegates.
Henderson's resolution was tabled on
ly Venezuela and Uruguay voting in the
negative. Consideration of the rules
was not completed at adjournment.

THE STATE PRINTING.
A Number of tho Republicans Vote
~ with tho Dom Ocrata.

The report of the joint committee on
printing, awarding the contract for state
work to the State Printing and Publish
ing Company for thirty days, at rs cents
per 1000 ems, gave rise to warm dis
cussion when II was presented in the
house to-day. Kuhn maintained that
the rates we're too high, and. Hughes
said they were offered to get good work.
The democratic jumped upon the re-
port in twinkling as being vicious
legislation.
Judson Of Whatcom charged the COM
mittee with ignoring q lower bid and
declared that II it was the intention in
awarding the contract to give something
to somebody's friend the state should
know 1t. He said the company en-
ployed rat printers.
Hughes answered that the committee
had not been authorized to receive bids
from any one, but thought the state
could pay the prices named for thirty
days.
fhe report was adopted by vote of
4S to "a. Blackburn, Blair, Brown of
Spokane, Clemans, Eddy, Candy, Grubb,

THE GAMBLERS IDLE.
Every House in the City Stopped by
Order Of the Diatrict Attorney.


order of the District Attorney.
Every gambling game in the city
was closed Thursday night by Sheriff
Hinchcliff, his deputy, f. X. Pugh,
and Jailor Hinchclifi' acting under
the instructions of the new district
attorney, w. Nj. Ridpath. The pro-
prietors of the games seem to take
the matter very easily, and were not
at all surprised at the action of the
authorities. 1t seems to be the gen.
eral opinion, even among the gam
blers, that the closing of the games
is good thing, as the crowd of loaf
ers, thugs, thieves and tin-horns can
either be run out Of the city, or else
will go of their own free will, now
that the main source of support is
cut off. No arrests were made, SIM
ply the order to close up being issued,
and 1t is understood that no further
notice will be given, but all games
found running hereafter will he
pulled and gamblers and gainesters
will be prosecuted to the full extent
Of the law.
HOW 1T WAS DONE.
At little after half past 8 o'clock
Deputy Sheriff Pugh stepped into
Clutch Jake's," and passing by the
bar entered the gambling room. He
approached the tables and going
from dealer to dealer quietly told
him to close down his game. The
men smiled and told the players to
cash in their chips, and with such
remarks as, "Well, guess we will 20
to the show tonight" or "I think
I'll take v night off," and other
good natured sallies, they proceeded
to put away their layouts, chips,
etc.
BY the time the sheriff had got to
the rear room, where keno was being
played, the games stopped first had
been removed, and chairs placed on
top of the tables. The keno caller was
In the act Of reading the thirteen
ball when the deputy held up his
hand, and man at one of the long
tables just then crying "keno," the
game wns closed"
of the saloons where games were
known to be running, and by 8
O'Clock all gambling had ceased in
Spokane. The whole operation was
so quietly and at the same time
effectively done that many of the
frequenters did not even see the
officers.
WHAT THEY THINK OF IT.
A REVIEW reporter who visited
several of the larger resorts about 8
o'clock found them as deserted as
on Sunday. But few of the pro-
prietors could be found, and the
gamblers were for the most part con-
spicuous by their absence. Some
few were engaged In a heart game;
others were having a rubber Of
whist; and some few were playing
round-table stud poker.
A lot of old buns slept In chairs
by the stoves, and the barkeepers
were idly sitting on the glass trays,
watching the clock.
Mr.. GOetz, commonly known as
Dutch Jake, in reply to question
az to what he thought of the sherifi's
action said:
"Well, you can say that the new
Frankfurt building viii not
be built. All the plans had
been accepted and the corner
stone for . building that would

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.
Tho Probable Coat Of the Present

Judsono OF Whntcom must think the
present legislature is n cheap one. His
bill spproprlating 100000 for the ex-
penses OF the session would convey this
impression. His estimate is too short
by fully 10000. Tho session will last
fully four months. Clerk hire and the
employees OF the house and senate call
for $l42 day. and the per diem of the
members for 1928 more. Geoghegan Of
Clarke county has figured 1t out that the
present session costs the tax payers VA

said they acted more like burglars than
like police of the league. Their actions

refused TO grant money to certain dis
trict owing to outrages committed

GOING OUT TODAY
II Their Pay is Not Raised, Say the
Fall River XeaYafS.
The Strike to be Made to Show the
Power OF the weaveI's Organization

FALL RIVER, Mass, March 10.
The weavers are still determined to strike
10 morrow morning. This strike is largely
due to a desire OF the ~esvers TO gain similar
recognition as that accorded TO the spinner 5
union, which the manufacturers refuse To
grant. The spinners union is one of the
strongest labor organizations in this country
IL nov includes every mule spinner in this
city. The weayers have been without any
permanent organization, the several attempts
which have been made at different lines 10
organize not succeeding.
The principal reason is thar the weayers
number nearly 10000 and include men,
women, boys and girls. They cannot be
controlled as readily as the spinners, who
are all men and number only about 500.
The present organization of the weayers
dates back to little over year The
present demand is for an ADVANCE OF from 10
10 2l cents per cut for weaving standard
64x64 goods, and 10 per cent. advance on all
other classes of goods.
The STREETS in the centre of the city pre-
sented their usual Sabbath appearance to-
day There was no unusual excitement.
City Marshal IiiIliard said he anticipated no
trouble tomorrow from the wesvers.
The weaver's executive committee have
advised all the weay rs To keep entirely away
from the mills tomorrow morning and to
avoid gathering in the vicinity of the mills,
which might lead to trouble. Weavers at
the American Linen. Richard Bordentiint,
Sycamore, Seaconnet, Narragansett, Laurel
Lake, Osborne, Weeiamore and the VAN
panoag Mills will go out tomorrow.
