Arrival OF the Barkentine Discovery
and Bark Alex. Mcneil, With
Dates to June II.
OUR SAN FRANCISCO LETTER.
Per Barkentine Discovery, San Fran
cisco, June IL.

(From Our Special Corregpondent.)
The departure of the barkentine Dis
covery, this afternoon, affords another
good opportunity for the dispatch of a
summary of news to date, and it will
probably reach you before the Umatilla
as the bearer has the reputation of being
fast sailer.
Sugar Continues Upwards.
On June 4th, after the departure of the
City of Picking, London cablegram was
received stating that there had been con-
siderable excitement in the sugar market
owing to the fact that $4,000 tons had
been purchased on American account.
Late advices from New York by mail
state that every renewal of the demand
for raw sugar seems only to develop the
strength of the situation and establish a
higher level of values, which, contrary to
expectations, fails to bring to the surface
any hidden supplies. Every revision OF
statistics only emphasizes the fact that
the worlds visible supply will all be re-
quired for actual consumption between
now and the commencement OF the
new crop. Very much higher prices
than now prevail seem to be inevitable
when the season of the heaviest con-
sumption arrives. The present Cuba
crop will barely exceed 100000 tons
under the most favorable auspices.
There was no actual change in quota
tons till yesterday, June 10th, when
| London quotations were given at AS.
| I'D, slight advance, and the New
York market for raws, SO test, was
! quoted at 1877 cents. This is an advance
of d cent over the prices of week ago,
| and there is no present indication of any
reaction. Those who should be in the
| best position to know the situation feel
! confident that raw sugar will touch so
! cents before the close of the year.
The American Refinery is again ar
ranging for the importation of sugar from
| Java by steamer.
Refined sugars have not been slow in
following IN the footsteps of the raw
commodity, and advances have beer
steadily upwards and of almost daily
occurrence. Dry granulated is to-day
quoted at cents. and Cube at 938 cents
so that 1t may safely be said that sugar
is worth money.

wooden buildings were hurriedly erected.
Every vacant lot was covered with stands
of some kind.
In number of places workmen have
commenced to grade and clear up l0ts
preparatory to rebuilding. Many OF the
merchants have secured quarters IN the
residence portion of the city, and are
open this morning with the remnants OF
stock saved from the fire. The people
have decided to rebuild the city Win
brick and stone.
All the cities and towns on the PaclIlc
Coast are responding literally IN money
and provisions; and, more esPeclaIiy'
those nearest to Seattle.
Another Account.
The business portion OF Seattle, the
largest city in Washington Territory Is In
ashes. Every bank, hotel, place OF
amusement, all the leading houses an
the newspaper offices, railroad depots,
mills. steamboat wharves, coal bunkers,
freight warehouses aud telegraph Oh
fees are burned down. The fire began
near the corner of Front and Pearl
streets, in the Seattle Candy Factory
building, at 80 p. m, on June 9th, ana
| before midnight had consumed the whole
| business section of the city, nOrthWard
to Stetson & Posts mill, along Front and
| Second streets to the water front, lnVolv-
| ing a loss of SIS 100000. The city IS
| literally wiped out except the residence
portion on the high ground. The insur-
ance was So, 3O4, 300. The loss will reach
| so, 900 900. The burnt district covered
i2O acres. The whole business section
OF the city is III ruins, and the worst is
not yet realized. Many people are beg
| CARED by the fire and others seriously
| crippled. Hundreds are homeless as well
as penniless, and for a long time there
will be suffering among the people unless
liberal donations are made to the Relief
| Committee AS the country begins to
realize this fact the responses are prompt
| and liberal.
Among the institutions and firms
! burned out were five banks, three the
alters, eight agricultural implement ware,
| houses, eight iron and machine shops,
four newspapers, four large job printing
offices and binderies, seven commission
firms, five drug stores, two of them
wholesale; nineteen dry goods and boot
and shoe stores, six wholesale dealers IL
cigars and confectionery, twelve furnl
ture dealers, three dealers in genera
merchandise, tWenty-One groceries, tb(
best hotel in the city and at least tel
other hotels and lodging-houses, 16(
saloons, four livery stables; four mea
markets, sixteen clothing and furnishing
houses, three laundries, four paint anC
oil dealers, five dealers in musical in
struments, the Western Union and Pos
tai Telegraph offices, the American Dis
trict Telegraph office and the Telephone

The Johnstown disaster Is even
worse than at first represented.
Between $4,000 and 10000 per
sons have been lost by the inunda-
ton and fire. There is no doubt
that the disaster is largely due to
culpable negligence The dam of
Conemaugh lake had been examined
and was declared to be unsafe, yet
no steps were taken to remedy its
condition. With the first heavy
rains, the disaster came, followed
with death and ruin. Those who are
responsible should be indicted and
tried for manslaughter. The lives
of $4,000 persons might have been
saved by promptly reconstructing
the dam. It was but a few years
ago that a dam in Massachusetts
broke away under similar circum-
stances, and destroyed several hun
dred lives. And probably similar
occurrences have happened in other
places.

The Samoan Treaty had not yet
been acted on by the American Gov
eminent at the latest dates, probably
because it only reached Washington
on the 18th of June, and to have ap-
proved of it before receiving the text
would have been indiscreet. There
is very little doubt that it will be
approved, and the incoming steamer
may report it as having been signed,

The Board of Health comes in for
a good deal of animadversion, but
what Board of Health does not? The
position of the members of the Board
Of Health is an invidious one. To
do their duty they must stand on
peoples corns. If any one wants
graphic picture of what Board of
Health has to face let him read
Kingsley's "two years ago." The
plucky doctor in that has to face all
kinds of abuse and ignorance. AS
far as we can learn, though all the
officers employed may not be the best
material, the Board itself is most
earnest in it's efforts to have every
thing properly conducted. There
has been instituted regular house
to house visitation of the city. How
many of the GROWERS are acquainted
with the fact? The leprosy question
has been met in as determined a
manner as it is possible to meet such
a terrible issue and each island of
the group is steadily and quietly
being made clean.
The question is one Of the most
vital to the country. The day that
we can write ourselves clean from
this disease will be a happy one for
us. AS facts now stand there is,
there never has been any danger for
the casual passer by or for the man
who lives clearly in the Hawaiian
Islands. Those who suffer from
leprosy have themselves or their
parents to thank for the condition
they are in.

THE SECRET BALLOT.

The plan Of a secret ballot which is a
part OF the Wyoming constitution was
tried for the first time in Connecticut
on Monday. The way it worked is des-
eribed as follows by a special dispatch to
the Chicago Herald from Norwich. Conn:
The new secret ballot law worked sue
c~essfully for the Democrats to day. For
the first time in the history of the Re-
publican party here the straight Demo-
cratic ticket was elected at a town cleo
ton. Since the civil war times the town
has been known all over Southern New
England as the citadel of Connecticut
Republicans. To-Day every buttress Of
the earth which has been shaken for sew
eral years got a clean knockout blow.
and the old thing was tumbled into the
moat OF public reputation. The secret
ballot helped to do it; for in no part of
the Union has political bulldozing on the
part Of the high and mighty and abound
ing mill owners been more ~flgrantly and
audaciously exercised.
In some of the mill villages il has been
worth a mill hands job for him to vote
openly. as he had to do in the old-time
ballot. Often the hands employed by the
most powerful corporations were driven
in the mill teams in squads Of thirty to
forty to the POLLS and an oversecr walked
with the voter to the boxes to be sure that

CoIonist sieepers.

The Union Pacific Ry.. also known as
The Overland Route. has lately added to
its service q number of new cars (Which
by the way are built by the World famous
Pullman Company entitled Colonist
Sleepers. and which FOR convenience and
comfort are but little behind the hand
some Pullman Palace Car. The cars are
designed for the use and comfort Of the
Colonist, who with his family intend NOV
ing West to grow up with the country.
The only difference between these cars
and the regular first. class Pullman is that
the. Colonist sleeper is not upholstered.
There are fourteen sections in each car.
and separate toilet rooms for ladies and
gentlemen. At night, by means of slid
ing h~eadboards and heavy damask cur
tains as much privacy is secured as if in
the regular irst-class sleeper. Plenty OF
fresh, clean towels and a good supply o.
water are also to be found. A uniformed
porter accompanies each car to look after
the comfort and attend to the wants OF
the passengers. and no smoking is al
lowed. II certainly seems hat tor cheap
and ~comodious sleeping Accommodations,
while travelling these cars cannot be ex-
celled.

A DAY OF REST

The Sunday question which Mr.. Pow
derby, as the head of organized labor is
agi,ating is a practical one. In bringing
forward for consideration so plain and
practical a matter as tie abolition OF Sun
day labor Mr.. Powderly and his knights
show themselves disposed for effective Ell
fort. Mr.. Powderly's point, as stated
from the rostrum is this: If a man works
sixty hours in six days he is entitled to
a seventh day of rest He is entitled to
this much, not only because his body and
mind demand the relaxation, but because
industrial conditions should be such as to
enable HIM to earn n sufficient livelihood
in six seventies Of a week. If any one is
interested in Sunday rest it is the work
ingman. To him its observance means
physical, mental and moral elevation and
if Mr.. powderly attains success he will
have added much to the welfare of his
followers,

THE UNION PACIFIC COM.
MITTEE

The problem which the United States
senatorial committee, now visiting this
city. will be called upon to help solve is
one of intense interest to Cheyenne. Wy
oming and the West generally.
The Union Pacific company's indebted
edness to the government does more to
handicap the territory dependent for its
advancement upon the company than any
other economic cause at present existing.
A heavy debt hangs over the road; Its set
Element is IN the hands of a legislative BODY
upon which the united efforts ofrival roads
is brought to bear to bring about fore
closure. As long as this state of affairs
exists the new enterpriscs into which the
country and their own business will drag.
With a certain future before them no
such enterprises as the cheyenne &
Northern extension would stand half
finished a day but would be pushed to
completion with a vigor which would
startle into life the natural Of
the country. Whatever the practices Of
the controlling powers Of the Union Pa
cifc have been in the past tits manifestly
rue that the present management is hon
est, business like and capable and it can
be relied upon to carry out faithfully any
agreement made with the government.
If the senatorial committee upon the on
clusion Of its investigation can devise
means to extend the credit of the COM
pany and add a measure Of certainty to
its immediate future without ipiuring the
claims Of the government the entire West
will be benefited. If the committee re-
commends the passage of the Cultivate
bill or some similar measure granting an
extension of the time of payment of the
roads Indebtedness the prospects for the
development of the contributing territory
to the road will brighten materially and
the earning capacity of the road will
grow in like proportion.
