THE LEAD0RE RULING.
A Talk With Senator Wolcott
of Colorado.
HE WAS GREATLY SURPRISED.
A Sharp Criticism of the Policy
of the Present Admins

DENVER, Oct. 26.--In view of the fac,
that Colorado is the largest lead and
silver producing state in the world, and
her citizens are considerably exercised
over Secretary Windom's recent lead de
cision, Senator Wolcott was seen to-day
and asked for his opinion upon the deci-
sion and its effect in the West He said I:
1.-The decision is an unpleasant shock
and surprise to the whole mining indus
try of the West. Already some of the
mines carrying low grade ore and heavy
in lead have closed down and others are

although the lobby in the interest of the
railroads reaching and operating in Old

tnis fiagrant wrong perpetrated by the
treasury department.. In its general
treatment Of the West, however, 1t is on
par with the apparent policy of the
present administration, as evidenced
both by the president and his secretary
of the interior, as well as Secretary
Window, that the Western country can
largely take care of itself. Ii the whole
doctrine of protection rests largely on a
basis of enlightened and patriotic selfish

A PROMISE FROM MIR. oAKEs
Seattle to he Placed on an Eq uaIity
with Tacoma.

SEATTLE, WASH, Oct. 26.-A telegram
was received here to-day from President
+. f. Oakes of the Northern Pacific,
stating that Seattle wonld be placed on
an equality with Tacoma in rates on
grain as soon us the city furnishes facili-
ties for handling all the grain which
may be shipped here.
q. b. Adair president of the board OF
trade, said he thought the city had sufii.
cient facilities now, as there was ware
house room for 10000 tons, but the
board of trade, In conjunction with tho
chamber of commerce, would immedi-
ately take steps to provide accommoda.
tions for all the grain shipments that
may como in.
It.will be rendered that in the recent
extension of Tacoma rates to Seattle.
grain, flour and miilstufis were omitted
while merchandise, lumber, etc., were
included. Grain, however, was consid-
cred more important than tho others, as
under the old discriminating rate il
would cost about $1,000 more to load
with wheat on ordinary sized vessels in
Seattle than in Tacoma. The tariff was
thus practically proliibitory for this
class of shipmenta. THIS, IL IL we'll
known, is what Seattle has been endeav-
oring to obtain for many years, and If
MIR. Oakes promise Is carried out fully,
there will be no rate left in which Seattle
is Disseminated against in the interest
of Tacoma.

A Big Gut in Transconti-
mental Time.
new YORK TO SAN FRANCISCO.
Mail Will Go Across in 100
Hours.
A COMPARISON WITH OLD SCHEDULES

Road.

WAsHrseroH Oct. 26.--Gencral super.
intondent Bell of tho railway mail service
has made public an important change
the transcontinental fast mail service
to take effect November 10, 1880.
On March 4, 1889, the time going West
from New York to San Francisco was l2S
and 10 minutes, which was reduced
to lis hours and As minutes on May 4,
and by November the schedule of fast
mail time going West from ocean to
ocean will be los hours and As minutes
One very important feature is the fact
that the train will reach San Francisco
early in the day, and mails will be dis
tributed by 10 A. NJ.
On March the time from San Fran
cisco to New York was 141 hours, and on
May the time was reduced to l2l
hours. The new schedule will reduce
the time from ocean to ocean to Ill
hours and 40 ininutes-thatis is, four days,
10 hours and &c minutes leaving San
Francisco at I =. NJ, after the close of
business, and arriving in New York at
10 40 4. NJ. with mails so assorted as to
permit immediate delivery. This is "A
gain of 20A hours on the March sched-
ule, ana gam OF lVIi nours OH tne May
schedule but rs the arrival at both
ends will be in the morning instead of
in the evening, IL means u gain of full
day over the May schedule In both di-
rcctions.
The service for all large cities will be
adjusted to unite with the transConti-
mental train at either Chicago or Council
Bluffs or Omaha, 30 that the advantages
will be reflected throughout the East

The new arrangement carries with it
some important features, rs the general
superintendent of the railway mail ser
vice will hereafter have the right to Tx IA

it is not made faster than the quickest

lines. This new service is said to be of
the highest importance to the transcon-
tinental business interests of the coun-

THE KENTUCKY FEUD.
Judge Lewis Thinks He Can Capture
Howard.

LOUISVILLE, Oct. 26,-Judge Lewis is
in possession OF the Harlan court house.
He has sixty-tivc we'll armed men, and
is confident of capturing Howard and
his party.
An account of the feud has been re-
ceived here giving the stories of both
sides. Howard claims the trouble origl-
mated in the killing, in sell.defcnse, of
Robert Turner in 1882 and Wilson
Howard is under indictment for killing
William Turner in q quarrel which en-.
sued. He says he can not get fair trial
and therefore rosists arrest. 1t Is
claimed that Robert and William
Turner were murdered without provo
cation, aud Wilson Howard must bc
brought, to trial. The Howards greatly
outnum her the Turner'S and can secure
Justice at least. Judge Lewis Is not Il
relative of the Turner'S, and was drawn
into the fight only in the discharge OF

joaquin Miller Tells What He Would
and Wouldn't DO.
I'll were woman, what would [ do;
and not do?
Now let us look into this thing, as the
man said when he fell in the well, and
go back to the beginning. "In the be-
ginning God created the heavens and
the earth" Then we read in the good
book that he rested on the seventh day.
Then the Lord God made man "of the
dust of the ground" And then he
rested again. And then the Lord God
planted a garden eastward in Eden,
and there he put the man whom he had
formed" And then the Lord God
rested again. And hope il was a good
long rest. For the next that the Lord
God made was woman. And | search
the Bible in vain for any word or sign
that the Lord God-or man, either
ever rested after that woman was made!

with great regard for health and comfort

up and try and do something else before
the day of Judgment. For this tigleaf
business has lasted long enough. The
very first thing laid down within the lids
of the Bible, after the chronicle of crea-
| ton, is this fuss and trouble about
woman's dress. For on the very next
page we find Eve still unsatisfied about
the cut and quality of her iigleaf dress,
and we read that Unto Adam also and
to his wife did the Lord God make coats

her; the gold and diamonds that we dig,
the deepest ruins we explore, the lands
we discover and subdue, the battles that
we fight, where brother goes down to

THE NEWS CONFIRMED.
More About the Recent Conflict on
the Island of SaYOY.


SAN Francisco, Oct. 26.-The Asso.
ciated Press correspondent ut Apia, un-
der date of october o, confirms the cleo
tion Of Mataafa as king of Samoa by the
chiefs of the various districts. 1t was
expressly provided that Mataafa should
terve as king only until the government
entered into by the tn rec foreign powers
should go into effect. Then, If necessary,
new election would be held. Tamaseses :
adherents did not signify their assent to
the election, and the correspondent
states that q number of Tamasese's fol
lowers OH the Island of Savoy made an
attack on some of Mataafa's followers.
When news of the attack was received
Mntaafa sent word to his people
ut the place where the trouble occurred
to demand that the guilty parties
be delivered to him. The correspondent
adds: "rhe excitement has been in
creased by the fact that 100 of Mataafa's
followers are now leaving Apia for
Savoy, where they will be joined by
others. Their intention is to burn the
houses of Tamasesc's men If the parties
who attacked their friends are rot given
up peacefully. 1t is not improbable that
the expedition may result in an open
conflict between the forces OF Mataafa
and Tamasese a. Savoy.

A MODERN SAMSON.
The Man That Can Make John l.. Sui
liyan Take "a Back Seat.

The following story detailing the mus
cular feats Of a modern Sampson is taken
from London exchange:
The spectator, us he watches, feels that
IL is better to be friendly with such
man, for with blow of his fist nc breaks
an iron chain that will bear pressure of
5000 pounds. With his two hands grasp
ing u short chain of $500 pounds usccr-
tanned pressure he makes momon-
tary effort and pulls the iron chain to
bits, and in what seems the most
wonderful feat-namely, fastening
two tight iron chain bracelets or
armlets around his biceps-the spectator
may view the process nom beginning to
,epd. One hears the strong man take u
long breath. sees the muscles of his arm
growing bigger and bigger, the cords OF
his heck swelling with the sustained eli.
fort, the face trimsoning, and then in
the silence those nearest the stake can
hear curious little 'sundering snap. Ii
is1 the double chain Rrinlet, that has
broken and which the next second falls
TO the floor.
When Samson's fist Is cinched ready
to strike, the measurement of the upper
arm around biceps and triceps is nine
teen and half inches, which, we NAV
casually remark Is considered q toler,i.

those principles OF freedom which ami
mated the revolution. The system of
government in America combined that
love of freedom, respect for law and de-
sire for order which formed the surcst
elements of national excellence and
greatness. 1t was not extravaganza to say
that although there were only 100000
people in the thirteen states at the time
of the revolution, the group of states

were superior to those of any one epoch.
