HAS THE CALL.
A High Oficial Chats About wash
ingtOn Immigration.

Mr.. a. ID. Charlton of Portland, assist
ant general passenger agent OF the
Northern Pacific railroad, Is in the city
on official business. He states that the
plans are ready, for the new freight depot
ut Spokane Falls, and he understands
that the construction of tho buildings Is
to be commenced as soon az the details
can be arranged Mr.. Charlton ex-
pressed much qualification on account
of the progress made in the direction OF
rebuilding the city of Spokane Falls,
and says tho work Is progressing more
rapidly than ut Seattle, owing to- the diff
iiculty experienced therein constructing
foundations. He states that the passen-
ger traffic of the Northern Pacific is phe-
nomonal, and while all the cities are re-
ceiving II liberal share Of this business,
the increase at Spokane, Falls has been
greater than ut any other point .along
the line. The indications are that there
will be larger Immigration to Washing
ton next year thun over before.
"It is an undcniable fact" he said,
"that in the matter of immigration
Washington has the call. Tho Okla
homa boom attracted considera-
bic travel to the Indian ter
ritory for time, but that last
ed only a few months, and II is
all over now, and the people scarcely re-
member that there is such place as
Oklahoma-at least the earnings of the
Pacific railroads do not show anything
of that sort"
in Spokane Falls, Mr.. Charlton said he
understood the plans were prepared, but
he had no information as to when the
work was to be commenced.
"There is one thing certain" he added,
''the company will be obliged to make
better provision for the comfort of the
travelling public and the employees of the
roaJ at thio npiut Danpla can't liyp it,
this depot as 1t is"
When interrogated as to his views as
to the best means of remedying this
condition of affairs Mr.. Charlton said
it belonged to department distinct and
separate from his own, and he could
the company with reference thereto.
Recurring to the question of immi-
grafton Mr.. Charlton stated that
all sections of Washington were
filling up rapidly with very
desirable class of people. Tho
Yakima canal, he said, will be great
benefit to the central portion of the state,
and improvement a vast area of agricul-
tural land that cannot be surpassed any
where on the globe.
"Do you think the canal will be con-
structed?" the reporter asked.
"Ycs," he replied, there will be two
certainly be built, for the companies are
already formed and the money Is at
their command IL will be profitable
-rNrst&~aseesSsasozasx5Dna1Seadnss...
Mr. Charlton added, in ahswef'
to direct question, that the Northern
Pacific has no interest whatever in this
canal enterprise, but the officials and
stockholders are favorable to
the enterprise, us it will GER
talnly enhance tho value OF
the railroads property in proportion to
its influence upon the development of
the country.
Mr. Charlton will leave this morning
for Portland.

TACOMA, Wash, Sept. 23.-The Alpha
opera-house was well filled this evening
with the intelligence of Tacoma to listen
to an address from John l.. Wilson.
The chair was taken by Hon. Edward
Evans, an old republican war-horse. Mr..
WILSON was the first speaker. He briefly
reviewed the great services rendered by
the republican party in the United
States, contrasting that with
the suicidal policy always presented by
the democrats. He dwclt especially on
tho success OF the financial policy pur-
sued by the party of which he is the
standard bearer, showing that 1t could
borrow $500, 100000 at per cent and
have the people more than eager to pur-
chase such bonds.
Three great measures had been carried
through by the republican par
ty, which was the party of pro
gress, in the interests of the
laboring men. These were the home
stead laws, after which they had II ten
years struggle with the democracy
which was once defeated by vote OF
e-Presidcnt Brcckinridgc, again by
the veto of President Buchanan, but was
finally passed by a republican congress
and became u law by the
signature of Abraham Lin
coin. The second was abolition
of slavery, and third the passage of acts
creating protection for American indus
tries and tho maintenance of tariff
that has placed American workmen in
circumstances of comfort never OBJ
tanned by any other laborcrs and me
chanics in the world
He scathingly reviewed the state
mcnts of Mr.. Grifiitts that the differ
cnces between them was one of schedule
only, and referred particularly to the
proposition Of the democrats embodied
in the Mills BILL showing that that was
designed to protect the industries of the
South at the expense of those of the
North. Mr.. Wilson was received with
the greatest enthusiasm. His speech
was frequently interrupted with loud
outbursts of applause.

Fighting the Constitution.

Information comes to the REVIEW
from reliable sources that the demo-
cratic campaign speakers in all parts of
the territory are opposing the adoption
of the constitution. The reason is plain
to be seen. 1t is conceded that
the republicans will carry the
election by an overwhelming
majority and the democrats
hope that by combining with few dis
affected republicans they may possibly
defeat the constitution and thus exclude
three republican mcmhers from the next
congress. Republicans and all others
who are desirous of settling the question
warned not to be deceived by this demo-
cratic dolpe

A HEAVY FAILURE.
A Mammoth Publishing Concern In
Chicago Fails for $500, ,OCO.

CuicAeo, Sept, 23.-Thc mammoth
publishing house of Dcliord, Clark x
Co., which has II large establishment
here and branches In New York and
San Francisco. went to the wall to-day.
This afternoon judgment was entered
against them in the circuit court in fa-
yor of the First National bank and 5.
A. Maxwell. Attachments were issued,
but shortly afterward the place was
seized by the sheriff. A receiver was
appointed by Judge Shepard. The fail
ure, while Il surprise to the general pub
lie, has been expected -ouie time by
those familiar with the firms standing.
Lawyer Newman, attorney for several
creditors and also for the receiver, said
three things were responsible for the
failure. In 1886 the entire plant was
DESTROYED by fire, causing loss of over
Sl5O,0OO; the firm promptly resumed
business. but during the last two years
suffered very heavily by the failures OF
customers, the collapse of one firm In
$4,000. In addition to this competi-
tion between eastern and western pub
fishers, particularly OF standard
works, has been SO brisk the market
has been almost wholly destroyed.
Newman said in his opinion the assets
of the company amount to about $iOO,-
900 and the liabilities about the same.
Printing Company, over $3.50 900; Dono,
hue 4 Ilenncberry, ,s75, 600; First National
Bank of Chicago, $4,000 $. a. Max
we'll, $4,000. Besides those, there are
heavy creditors in New York and San
Francisco.
Another lawyer discussing the causes
of the failure. said Andrew McNully, of
Rand McNally Il Co., WHO Is Bcliord' 5
fathor.in-law, has been backing the firm
for some time, aud that his refusal TO
endorse the firms paper prompted the
First National bank to enter suit. The
attorney Thought il MIR. McNally had
not discontinued his support the firm
might have pulled through.
Thomas G. Hammond, member OF
the. firm of Walker, Oakley q Co.,
leather merchants, is receiver, His bond
is 100000 Prior to the appointment OF
Il receiver Donohue y Hcnncberry, who
are the largest credirors, filed bill, In
which 1t IL stated that the broken corpo-
ration's capital was $4,000, of which
only S3O0,000 had beer paid in. The
nominal assets according to this bill,
amount to less than 500. 900, while the
Indebtedness will exceed $500, 900.
