SEVERAL LIVES LOST.
A Mysterious Accident on Puget
Sound---A Boat Sunk by
a Steamer.
1t Is Thought That a Woman and a
Child Were Among the
Victims.

OLYMPIA, Oct. 27.-.On the arrival of
the steamer Emma Hayward at this city
last night it was reported that while be.
tween Steilacoom and Point Evans a
row boat containing three occupants,
one of whom is supposed to have been
woman, was sighted. The steamer when
she saw the boat was stopped, on which
one OF the occupants cried:
"All right; go ahead"
The steamer then proceeded on her
course.
About moment after cries were
heard and woman's voice calling for
help. The steamer was instantly stopped
on thespot and life preservers thrown
out.
A boat was lowered as soon rs possible,
but which, from its position, caused
quite u delay in getting 1t into the water.
Just before lowering the boat the skirts
of the woman were seen above the
water, endeavoring to reach the life pre-
server, but later on the boats crew could
find no trace OF the boat or its unfortu-
nate occupants.
After q lengthy search for the bodies
the steamer again took up her course for
Olympia. 1t has not yet been learned
who the persons in the boat were,
although strict inquiry as 10 their
Identity was made to-day.

IN A HOLE.

Senator STEWART, of Nevada, has the
administration in hole Oh the silver
coinage question, and if he uses his adj
vantage there is good deal of trouble
ahead for the president and the secre-
tary of the treasury. The silver kings
seem to be very much in earnest in
pressing upon the attention of the HAIR
RISoN administration that plank in the
Chicago platform which denounced the
CLEVELAND administration for its OPP
position to the unlimited coinage Of full
legal tender silver. 1t is in vain that
President HARRISON and Secretary
WINDOW attempt to explain to the sill
yer advocates that this plank was only
inserted in the Republican platform as
drag net to catch votes, and that there
never was any serious intention of
changing the policy Of the government
III this respect. In support of the claim
that the silver coinage plank was only
designed for vote-catcher they point
to the unbroken record of the Republi-
can party on this question. AS a mat
ter of fact, the CLEVELAND administra-
ton simply pursued the policy that had
been enforced by the ARTHUR admins
tration, and which had been the policy
of every Republican administration.
But these explanations do not satisfy
the silver agitators. Senator STEWART
has been doing some very plain talking
lately, and he has been speaking within
hearing distance of the president and
of Secretary WINDOW. He says that
thn a1, iCfr ic ,1lo
out every promise, expressed or implied,
made in the Chicago platform, and he
intends to use his power in the senate
to hold the president and his cabinet to
that position. Furthermore, he threat
ems that unless the administration shall
do all he requires of it. the new states
and all of the old ones attached to the
silver cause Will make the next con-
gress Democratic in both branches.
There are evidences that the presi-
dent has been frightened by Senator
STEWARDS threat. He has at least
made half-pronise that as soon as he
gets through with the army of the Of
ficeseekers he will give his attention to
the silver question. and will endeavor to
shape the policy of his administration
SO as to make it conform to all the prom
ises made in the Republican platform.
Investigation has convinced him that
the silver advocates really hold the bal
ance of power, and unless they are
catered to, Senator STEWARDS threat
will pan out, and the next congress will
be Democratic in both branches. At the
same time he realizes that if the admin
iStration surrenders to the silver kings.
ali hope of carrying New York for the
Republicans in the next national cleo
ton will fade from view. Thus he
finds himself driven into hole from
which there is no possible hope of ex-
tricatiOn.

NATURAL GAS FAILING.

AT the late annual meeting of the
Ohio Gas Light association it was as
serted. and generally concurred i'll by
the delegates, that the natural gas
supply in the Ohio valley is failing.
There has been an almost criminal
waste OF this wonderful gift of nature.
Many of the companies realize the dam
ger of the supply being exhausted; and
have already inaugurated system of
outstanding it, yet the indications point
to the fact that in few years more all
the wells will have ceased to flow. The
gas manufacturers will see in this ces-
sation an opportunity for the introduce
ton of special appliances which they
will not be slow to improve. Pittsburg
and other manufacturing cities in the
Ohio valley will never be willing to go
back to the use of coal, and when the
natural gas supply is exhausted will
unquestionably re sort to the use of
manufactured gas. Then, if not before,
st. Paul will probably discover its mis-
take in not moving in the same direc-
ton in an endeavor to build up manu-
featuring industries.

WASHINGToN,s KIN.

Among the many ridicul GUS things
that the tive centennial people" did
in the arrangements for the New York

ulous than the effort to collect the rem
nants of the WASHINGTON family and
bring them up to the celebration. 1t
was ridiculous, in the first place, be-
cause Of the failure to find what they
were looking for. Perhaps two-thirds
of the WASHINGTON kin have been in
vited. In the second place, those who
go there on special invitation will be
subjected to the modification of occu-
plying back seats, while the representa-
tives of the vulgar Four Hundred will
stand up in the front row. And, last of
all, there was no occasion to make the
genealogical tree factor in this demon
stratiOn. According to the theory of
our institutions, the accident of birth
plays no part in our national affairs. In

the United states senate, and the dis

handsome general. The confirmatory
or Illustrative statement is added that
he is even more prominent in the poll
tics of Dakota than he ever was in
that of Pennsylvania, and that the ter
ritorial appointments being made by
the president are attributed to him. The
value of these views is greatly en-
HANGED by the fact that they are con-
temporaneouS with the temporary So
journ of the general in Harrisburg.
They indicate his valuation at his old
home, and show his Dakota constituents
how to reach the avenue of federal influ-
ence. There has been some question as
to who impelled the Dakota selections.

courteous i'll his intercourse with his subordi-
mates, he was none the less firm, and pos
sessed of a genial and kindly disposition he
was loved and respected by all with whom
he came in contact. Endowed with clear
ness OF judgment, methodical mind and
habits of close application, he excelled in all
positions of trust and responsibility filled by
him. His fitness for the highest place in
railway management was recognized,
and he successfully filed with sig
nal ability the offices of general super
intendent of the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern railway, general manager of the
Eastern Railroad of Massachusetts, general
manager of the Minneapolis & st, Louis rail
way. general superintendent of the Chicago,
st. Paul, Minneapolis d. Omaha railway and
president of the Wisconsin. Minnesota d Pa
cific railway, and left behind him record
that will long serve as an example for those
who come after him.
Deeply deploring his death. which has
taken from his family loving and tender
husband, from our calling man of marked
ability, and from our state a most estimable
citizen, we remember with satisfaction his
successful and blameless life; extend to his
family our earnest sympathy. and enter upon
our records this brief expression of our re-
gard.
Resolved, That copy of this resolution be
sent to his wife, Mrs. Charles F. Hatch.
