A HOTEL Is ASSURED.
The Necessary Subscription Has
Practically Been Raised by
the Committee.
BY the First of January the
Hostelry Will Be in
Operation.

After more than two weeks of
faithful work on the part of the
committee appointed for the pur-
pose, the effort TO secure tirst-class
hotel for Spokane Falls has been
crowned with success.
A few hundred dollars yet re-
mains to be raised to bring the sub
sidy up to the required amount, but
40 sure are the committee that two
or three enterprising citizens who
are at present out of town will sub
scribe the small amount needed,
upon their return to the city, they
are going ahead with the work of
preparing the Boston block for occu-
pancy.
The plans have been altered so as
to make the building convenient for
hotel purposes, and worlxmen are
busy making the necessary altera-
tions.
When already for occupancy the
building will have about 200 rooms,
the higher priced ones being pro-
vided with baths. All the convent
ences of IA first-cass hotel will be
supplied. The office will be I'm the
room adjoining the elevator on the
west.
An addition will be built in the
rear of the Lamona block, which
adjolns the Boston block on the
west, and which has also been
leased for hotel purposes, to be used
as barroom and billiard hall.
1t Is expected that the hotel will
be ready for occupancy about the Isl
Of January, and Spokane Falls VIII
then have botel much finer thar
any she ever had before. The rates
will be from 50 to IS per day.

THE LATE ELECTIONS.

The senators were all considerably
surprised ut the result of the recent
elections in the East. Senator Frye
said:
81 am very much surprised al
Iowa, but not at all In regard to
New York; in fact l rather imag.
ined the democrats would capture
the Legislature, too"
In reference to the objects of the
committee, of which he is chairman
Mr.. Frye said:
at has been our object to ascertain
the actual condition of the debts OF
the Union and Central Pacific rail
roads, with an idea to an adjust
ment by which the government can
be secured. We now hold as secur
ity for the loans statutory liens on
the main lines of the roads only
subject to first mortgage bonds
amounting to $50, 900, 900 for each.
1.-THE roads are and will be unable
to meet these debts at maturity, ten
years hence, and II Is our business tC
see if they will be able to meet them
eventually, should an extension be
granted.
II consider the Union Pacific am
ply able to secure the government
and make the payment of the entire
debt and interest, as certain as any
thing in the future can be. The
original Central Pacific Is not worth
enough to pay its first mortgage
bonds, and Is absolutely without
local traffic.
Hon. G. X. Davis, senator from
Minnesota, was disinclined to tall
on the results of the election, but il
regard to the city of Spokane Falls
he and his charming wife We're en-
thusiastic. This Is what he said:
Spokane is wonderful city ant
destined to be a great one. TIL,

THE CHEROKEE NATION.
Chief Mayes Defies Secretary Noble
and Takes q Bold stand.


Sr. LOUIS, Nov. --latest advices from
the Cherokee nation say that Chief
Mayes' letter to the commissioners of the
United States has caused much excite
ment in the territory. In th.s letter
Chief Mayes. referring to Secretary
Mobiles recent instructions TO the com
missioners regarding the cattle COM
panies, etc. takes bold stand virtually
defy ing the United States government
and says in part; .The Cherokees do
not recognize the right of Secretary
Noble to Interfere with the sacred right
that has belonged to the Cherokeos since
their purchase and ownership OF said
lands, and they will continue 70 collect
revenue for grazing privileges until Secre-
tsry Noble shall see lit to deprive them
OF this revenue by force; and even then
the Cherokees will endeavor to protect
their rights in the premises in legiti'
mate war"
Referring to Assistant Attorney Gen,
eral Shields opinion as to the legality of
science and sense Of duty will govern
me In this matter, and not the opinion
of the attorney general or the act of con-
gress which created your commission
which has no connection whatever with
the matter" Bushyhead condemns
Mayes action and says his position is
not only dangerous, but untenable,
Other opponents of Mayes say his letter
is bid for war, and tho Indian Arrow,
a paper antagonistic to Mayes, says in a
double loaded extract; I'VE want no
war either in words or reality; we want
peace, but We want rights and want
them asserted in o manly way; we want
no nations blood there is justice even
for us other than In the implements oi
war"
THEY ARE SURPRISED.

the leaven of tariff reform has leavened
the whole lump. The West, which has
suffered most from the unjust burden of
the tariff, has awakened. The state
platforms of both Iowa and Ohio are
abreast of the st. Louis platform on the
subject of tariff reform, and the people
have considered and passed Judgment.
1t was for the people to decide, They

A CHANGE OF OPINION.
Governor Ferry Takes Different
View OF the situation.

View OF the Situation.
Govornor-elect Ferry has changed his
opinion ON the legislative question.
Since the complication arose he has held
that the legislature, II it met, could do
nothing but elect United States senators
and adjourn sine die; that II could not
adjourn from day to day and await the
issuance of the proclamation, and that 1t
would be necessary for him to issue
proclamation convening tho Legislature
In special session. His views were just
opposite this morning, and he now
thinks the way Governor Moore has
thought right along.
"What do you think of the permanent
organization of the houseG" he was
asked this afternoon.
ut is a step in the right direction" he
answered. 1.-THE action Of the legisla-
ture IN taking recess to await the is
suance of the presidents proclamation is
very proper. think now that between
now and the 18th inst. every objection
which apparently exists will have been
done away with, and the state govern
ment and legislature will move on con-
stitutionally and legally"
Governor Ferry makes his argument
on these grounds: The legislature hav.
ing met on November 8, has accepted
the option extended to 1t by the enabling
act, and has acted in accordance with
the constitution, which commands the
first legislature of the state to assemble
on that day, Therefore both the ena'
bling act and the constitution have been
recognized in this respect In postpon'
ing the election of United States sena-
tors until the issuance of the president s
proclamation, no question as to the le'
gaiity of the election will be raised.
Upon his Inauguration on the 18th he
will find the legislature in session, and il
will ask him If he has any communica-
ton to make. In reply he will send his
message, which will be equivalent to al
official recognition of the legality OF the
session, consequently there will be nc
need of proclamation converting the
legislature in special session. The ses
sion will be unlimited as to the time o.
its continuance, and peace and harmony
will reign in the state of Washington.
