An enthusiastic meeting was held at
the opera house Thursday night in the in
terest of the proposed Port Townsend
Southern. The attendance was large,
and consisted mainly of Port Townsend's
leading business men, who showed by
their presence and interest manifested
that the building of our railroad was Of
! vital importance to the city of Port Town
send.
The meeting was called to order, and,
on motion of J. E. Clark, D. w. Smith
was appointed chairman, and Leslie Cul-
lom secretary.
The committee appointed to decide
upon plan OF action in securing a sub
sidy, made the following report through
J. +. Clark:
The committee appointed to decide
upon a plan of action in securing a sub
sidy for such transcontinental railroad as
shall construct line to Port Tow send
submit as result of their deliberations,
the following report and recommends
tions: Before determining upon the
proposition which We herewith lay be-
fore you for consideration, your commit
tee conferred with the directors OF the
2. T. Southern R. X. in order to ascer-
tain from them the actual status of their
negotiations with the representatives OF
a transcontinental railroad corporation
These negotiations were shown to be
progressing satisfactorily, except so far
as subsidies are concerned. To arrive at
the actual requirements, we asked: are
the subsidies now held by the Port Town
send Southern railroad sufficient to sat-
isfy transeontinental corporation, and,
if not, how much additional is demanded? :?
Their answer is that the present subsi-
dies are not sufficient, and not less than
s1O0, 900 more, in money or land, must
be secured.
In view OF this situation, We propose
that the citizens shall undertake to raise
subscriptions of money and land to this
amount, and place such subscriptions in
the hands of two trustees, to be chosen
by the citizens. When the railroad cor
poration, with which negotiations are
now pending, shall agree to construct
and operate railroad to Port Townsend,
with transcontinental connections, then
these subscriptions are to be turned over
to said corporation, in accordance with
the terms which shall be fixed by the
| subscribers. 1t is understood and agreed
that the donations now held by the Port
Townsend Southern r. r. will be at the
same time given without reserve to the
corporation building the railroad We
are also authorized to state positively
that the railroad will be constructed
without delay, and that it is intented to
make it part of a line that will render
Port Townsend the terminus of trans
continental system.
With these facts before you, we recon-
mend that this meeting proceed at once
to select committee of five citizens,
whose duty shall be to solicit subscriptions
for the purpose above named. 1t is
further recommended that two trustees
be also chosen at this time, who shall be
empowered to hold in trust all subsorip-
tions of money and conveyances of land
until the railroad corporation shall have
fulfilled the conditions authorizing them
to receive it.

Reduction OF Postage.

Much has been said by the newspapers
of late in regard TO the reduction OF let
Ger postage to one cent. On the face OF
it the proposition is q plausabie one
Reductions in postage have always been
with popular approval. As general
thing people do not stop to consider
whether q reduction id really in the In
terest OF the postal service, or seem to
understand that il not good thing for
the post office department. it cannot ne
desirable thing for the public
The only consideration seems TO DC
that certain personal expense Is de-
creased fifty per cent and that much Is
saved. When he first entered upon the
duties of his office the post master gen.
eral was inclined to think that the time
for once cent postage had come, aod was
so quoted all over the country; but as
he became more familiar with the ma
ehipary Of his department, and what re-
forms or improvements were desiFablej
he was not long in finding out that the
necessity OF tbe people do not so mucp
demand any increase in burden oil
which no one seriously complains, as
an increase in mail facilities.

These gentlemen are deserving oil
great credit for their guarantee, as they
had all subscribed literally before.
Thus it will be seen that the amount
necessary is assured, and inside of forty
eight hours Port Townsend was ready
with the required bonus. 1t is certainly
4 creditable attainment for this city,
when it will be remembered that it took
Seattle, with . populstion OF $4,000 or
mere three weeks to raise $250,000 as a
bonus to her railroad.
1t is now universally believed by our
own citizens that the road will be built
and in running order inside of eighteen
months.
The committee on subscription have
done yeomens' work and while so many
responded willingly and literally We are
sorry to state, there have been num-
Der who not only refused to contribute
to the fund but accused the gentlemen
who constituted the committee, of mer-
cenary motives in the work they were
doing. 1t is to be greatly regretted that
such men, who have so much of this
worlds goods are so narrow minded and
selfish. The advent of the railroad in
Port townsend, with connections as ex-
pected. will benefit every business man
and property owner here. 1t will bene-
fit all trades and professions and make
of Port Towesend city second to none
on Puget Sound and in fact in Wash
ington Territory.

Brennan Wins the Wrestling Match

The wrestling contest last night at the
Standard, between Faulkner and Bren-
nan, results in favor OF the latter. The
conditions of the match were that Faulk-
ner was TO throw Brennan in fifteen
minutes OF forfeit fifty dollars; he forfeit
ed the money. Faulkner resorted to all
the tricks known in wrestling, but could
not overcome the strength OF Brennan.
The duel was witnessed by large and
enthusiastic audience and most OF the
same appeared the friends Of Brennan
by the amount of applause which greeted
the announcement that he had won.
NJ. Faulkner gracefully acknowledged
that he found Mr.. BTenan better man
than he anticipated; but that Sorlkichi,
the Jap, could throw Brennan in the
time heretofore stipulated and for fifty
dollars. Brennan accepted the challenge
and the match will be wrestled on Tues
day evening at the Standard.

METHODIST CONrRRENcr
Third Days Proceedings.

Conference was opened yesterday BY
singing the hymn, "Jesus, Lover of my
Soul, after which DIR. w. M. Leftwich
led in prayer. The minutes were read
and approved and Rey.J. w. Newman,
treasurer of the Missionary Board made
request for all monies collected for
this cause to be paid over to him.
Rev. K. G. Isbell was restored by vote
OF conference to membership. The
election of delegates to General Confer
ence to be held at St. Louis next Nav,
was made special order for this morn
ing and will be taken up at ten O'Clock.
A call was made by the Chairman OF
Committee for reports from pastors es-
pecia!ly on Church extension, Educa-
ton ETC.
A class of very fine young men were
recommended for Deacon's orders. They
were II. B Rolls, E Fl. Price, Robert B.
Baird, William B. Andrews, Clinton n .
Rice, w F. Sanford, John S. Robertson,
W. b. Wilson, E. P. Craddock, W. E
II. Mabry, A j. Chappell and w. B.
Bayless.
Bishop Duncan addressed these breth-
ern and his words were fraught with
excellent counsel and sound advice. He
said: You are expected by the Master 10
be wise in winning souls. You are net
supposed to be lecturer, or an editor,
but preacher. People will not wait
essays or editorials from you. AS pre-
pared men you will preach prepared
sermons. Undefiled men will give unr
defled sermons. Your work consists in
building up and sustaining the church,
not in burying it. To this end be the
best man you can by the grace of God.
He then asked them: 'Have you
faith in God? Are you going or to per
fection ?" He instructed them never to
60 in debt; never to go security for other
men; to be careful and not gain the
loathsome reputation of being joking
punster on the streets.
An invitation from Prof. w. H. Coun-
rill, Principal Of the Normal School was
read, inviting the conference to visit the
institution.
In the matter of literature the Bishop
drew vivid pen picture in the shape Of
apyramid. He wanted to.see in every
home choice literary pyramid some
thing like this: First the Bible. This
was the foundation stone. Next the
church hymn book. Then the book Of
discipline and lastly, on top of all, the
Alabama Christian Advocate.
Al 3p. m. a sermsn was preached by
Rev. MIR. Hamilton and at 7:15 p. m
DR.. Haygood and Bishop Duncan spoke
on the subject of church extension and
at the close donations for this work were
received,

WHAT THE EDITORS SAY
Cunning for Ducks.


Now that he has returned from his
duck hunting expedition on the sedge
flats Of Chesapeake Bay, President
Harrison may be edited when he per-
uses the flattering compliments paid
to his sportsmanlike qualities by the
ubiquitous newspaper correspondents.
After perusing the various criti-
cisms which the grave and gay editors
have passed upon these reports, the
President may lay the fiattering
JUNCTION to his soul that he is dandy.
when cunning for ducks is his sport.
An Interested people are told that
the President got up every morning
before breakfast - or words to that
effect-and after sliding himself into
his hunting clothes, slid hearty
meal under his jacket and proceeded
to the blind. The favorite hour for
reaching the blind was five a. nj
Once there, Mr.. Harrison loaded
his gun and lay low He said nothing,
but waited for the dip divers and the
gadwalls to settle on the water to be
Knocked over and peppered with Exc
cutive shot. For hours at stretch,
the historians of this expedition as
sert, the President sat expectantly
waiting for game, showing neither
WEAKNESS when the birds were indis-
posed to fall victims to White House
lead, nor disappointment when he
blazed away at a big flock with the
result only of puncturing the sur
rounding atmosphere with shot. As
the hours sped by, the correspondents
who stood we'll out of the range of
Presidential shot watched with grow
ing interest the calm placidity OF Mr..
Harrison, and noted the increasing
signs of superior duck hunting ten
denotes which the Chief Exesutive OF
a great people should possess.
While some of the too-ardent admir-
ers of Mr. Harrison profess to see in
these superb qualities of the President
the inborn characteristics of a high
and peculiar order necessary not only
to good sportsman, but essential to
a statesman of the first class, the NeaDs,
while it adlnires the President and
comedies his qualities, takes exception
to the claim, and mildly denies that
they are natural, and not developed
traits. The getting up before break
fast, the patience, the serenity when
everything didn't go as if creased, the
uncomplaining and calm submission
to the inevitable when the gun went
off and the ducks followed suit, are
most of them traits that must have
been acquired within very recent
period. They are characteristics in
cubated out of the travail of Office
MFR. Harrison has been trained
for duck shooting in a very
