NEW MkVIGATIoN LINE.
Another Big Steamboat Line for
the Sound.
The Premier to be Bought.

/ Captain John Irving, manager of lie
Canadian Pacific Navigation Company
nj Vancouver, 3. G., was in the city
last Friday with q view TO the consoli-
/ dation of the proposed Seattle Steam
/ boat Company with another company
that will be shortly formed to cover all
points on the Sound, with headquar-
/ ters at Seattle.
! The object as ascertained, is to make
Il new line Of steamers that will run in
/ opposition to the Union Pacific boats,
and give thorough connection with
| the Canadian Pacific railway by Amer
! lean bottom boats. This will be done
by running from Seattle To Victoria,
where connection can be made with
the steamer Islander, which plies be
tween Victoria and Vancouver.
The new scheme IS proposed in view
! OF the early completion of the Seattle,
Lake Shore * Eastern to the boundary
and the necessity of Withdrawing the
steamer Premier from the run to Van
c0uver, she being an American bottom
boat. To prevent her being brought
into competition, it has Ecen proposed
that she become one Of the boats i'll the
new line to be started.
1t is believed that company can be
formed 1T once and those who have
the matter in fand have at least four
steamers in view that would lie suita-
bic for the trade between Portland and
Seattle, and two or three that are
available for the local trade on the
Sound. The only setback is the pro
posed Seattle Steamboat Company,
which would of necessity compete with
and interfere with the scheme. To
avoid this it has been proposed that
those interested in the Seattle line join
in this latter scheme and make il ali
one.
1t is believed that the stock i'll the
new steamboat enterprise can be readi-
ly taken up, the boats bought and the
route established between Seattle and
Victoria, Port Townsend, Olympia and
Portland; whereas, the prospects are
that the Seattle Steamboat Company
cannot be formed and anything like Il
service given for at least a. year To
meet the requirements of the Seattle line
the new company propose to make head
quarters at Seattle, and serve all the
points and business intended to be met
by the Seattle line.
The absence OF G Morris Haller has
caused the delay OF anything like def
mite settlement OF the scheme, but it is
understood that Captain Irving has gone
TO Portland and San Francisco to move
in the direction outlined, relying on as
-surances of its ultimate success. He will
return in few days and confer with Mr..
Haller as to whether it will be possible
to bring in the stockholders OF the pro-
posed Seattle Steamboat Line.

ARE THEY LOST L?
DR.. Minor. G. Morris Haller and
Louis Cox are Missing.

Fears are entertained for the safety
of DR.. It. II. Minor, G. Morris Haller
and Louis Cox, who left here for Stan
wood Thanksgiving evening on hunt
Ing trip. The party was to have re-
turned last Wednesday evening, but
up to late hour last night nothing
had been heard from any one Of them.
The party went from here to Stan-
wood. On Monday Mrs. Minor receiv-
ed dispatch from her husband from
Stanwood, stating that they had met
paslI-poOr success in hunting around
there and that he and his two COM
paniOns were going to Browns camp
on WILDLY island.
Tney left there Monday and since
they nothing has been heard of them.
There are no particular grounds for
alarm as yet, but if nothing is heard of
the party to-day some action will then
be taken by the friends of the missing
gentlemen.-Seattie P.-I.
Mr.. Haller is a brother of Judge Hal
ler, of this city, and the latter gentle
man is considerably worried over the
fact that he can get no word from Sc
attle owing to the wires being down.
He will probably leave for WILDLY Is
land to-day unless he has some favor

THE RAILROAD.
PORTLANDIFES HAVE THE
CORRECT IDEA.
III
The Road to be Completed at
Once.

The following item Of particular in
tercss to our citizens is taken from the
Portland Oregonian:
some anxiety has been manifested by
Interested parties in the supposed
delay in the building OF the Port
Townsend and Southern railroad. To
put at rest forever any further doubt,
the following explanation is given: Rail-
road companies are exceedingly Captious
as 10 the title OF any property coming into
their possession. The eriginators of the
Port Townsend & Southern had secured
the right OF way, together with certain
additional subsidies, including cash sub
sides, some of the latter being in INSTALL
ments The SUCCESSORS of the organizers
OF this railway are the Union Pacific
Railway Company. The directors of the
Union Pacific sent their agents to Port
Townsend, who examined minutely and
guardedly the title and all details OF the
right Of way, with the subsidies, and
recommended the acceptance thereof.
Ia the interval and preliminary details
of placing the bonds of this road have
been completed, and from this on the
construction of this railway, under the
supervision of the Oregon Improvement
Company viii continue as rapidly as
men, teams, machinery and weather
will permit. The final survey OF tie first
twenty-five miles, with permanent loca
ton thereof, is finished, and the Port
Townsend & Southern is an assured and
fixed fact Surveying parties have just
completed this end of the line to Cheha
lis and Centralia, on the n. T., and other
towns on the line. This railway, by sec
tions, will fast take form as a completed
railway. The effect of this news on Port
Townsend property is immediate, and
yet this property must advance consid-
erably before the road is completed.
There will be more actual money made
in Townsend real estate than any one
dreams of, because the city is located on
a peninsula of about Axe miles, and every
foot thereof must come into actual use.
Port Townsend will have $4,000 people
in less than ten years, if her growth be-
gins to equal the expectation of keen OBJ
servers. One remarkable fact in her
present history is the vast amount OF
Eastern capital being invested there.
Albany, n. Y, parties haze recently in
vested $1,000 in Port Townsend.

THE SALyATIoNIsTS.

The Salvation Army parade last night
was not characterized 10y the noise and
disorder which was so prominent on the
previous evenings. The little band
marched from their barracks in a, quiet
manner, and did not light their torches
Or BEGIN singing until they reached
Hunts wharf. The presence OF three
very pretty females in the ranks proba-
bly, had a quieting etfect upon the crowd,
and eggs were conspicuous by their abb
sence. One sldn, who marched with
them Sunday night, threw in bunch of
fire crackers, but one bunch seemed to
satisfy him. The ladies have very good
voices and rendered some pleasing mu-
sic. One of them. and a very pretty
girl she is, too, addressed the throng
while reporter for the ARGUS was preR-
ent, and though she appealed to those
present III way which would make q
wooden Indian melt in tears, the gang
did not seem to be inclined that way.
After singing few songs the army re-
tired to their quarters and held service.
4 member of the army, Mr.. A. j. Smith,
called'it the ARGUS Office yesterday and
stated that the treatment they are re-
ceiving here IS about or par with what
they used to get in Seattle. They are
used to it and do not mind it; they
are here to stay, and hope to do some
good. When asked if any of the mem
bers had obtained employment, Mr..
Smith said: "Only one OF the men,
bers has decided to remain here perma-
nently, and he has the promise of stu
alton; the others, myself among them,
will remain only a few days, and the
ranks will from time to time be filed by
members from other cities" Mr.. Smith
thinks they should receive the support
OF the better class of citizens in their
evangelistic work. They are response

sTRkNGLED IN THEIR CELL.
Three Apache Warriors Commit
Suicide to Avoid Exc
cution.

A special from Florence, At, says: or
the five Apache Indians sentenced to
hang tomorrow morning, three of them
committed suicide in their rooms last
night by tying strip of cloth around
their necks with double knots. They
were discovered early this morning,
when another Indian gave the alarm.
Two were murderers of Jones at Dud-
leyviile, September Is, 1888, and one
the murderer of Diehl, Of San Pedro,
June 3, 1887.
The two remaining Apaches will be
hung tomorrow morning.
Upon examination it was found that
the three dead Indians had torn up
one of their..mattrasses, made of heavy
domestic cloth, which they tied around
their necks in the form of slip knot,
and then by taking each end of the
string in the hands it was drawn so
tightly that a deep and bloody furrow
was made around the neck, construct
ing it in such a manner as to produce
strangulation, from which they slowly
died.
From the appearance of the bodies
they must have been dead several
hours. So quietly was it all done that
no noise or struggle was heard, either
by the guard or their two companions
sleeping in the same cell, within few
feet of them. The guard, who was
stationed in the corridor within short
distance from the cell, states that he
looked in at II and every half hour
afterwards, until the fact OF their death
was discovered, but the were lying on
their backs, apparently sleeping. He
had no suspicion that such a terrible
deed had taken place almost under his
sight.
The first iutimatiou of the occurrence
was on the awakening OF one OF the con-
demned men, who, looking around and
noticing an unusual expression OH the
face of his dead chief, touched him and
found him still in death. With 3 wild
exclamation of horror he attracted the
attention of the death watch, who, upon
examination, found 4 revolving scene.
There lay the lifeless forms of the sui
cides, their hands IN death still graspIng
the ends-of the string.
1t seems the other two did not court
death in a like manner, and though in
the same cell they mad no suspicion o.
any intention on the part OF the Other
three to destroy themselves. One OF the
| living belonged TO the dead chiefs band
! while one OF the suicides belonged to 1
different band. All three, though, were
| much older than the two who were no
/ included in the plot to cheat the gal

A STEAAIER'S CRASH.
The Eliza Anderson Runs Into the D., L.
s. & 4. Trestls.

During the dense fog which prevail
ed yesterday morning the steamer
Eliza Anderson, OH her way into port
from Whatcom, ran into the Seattle,
Lake Shore & Eastern railway trestle
close TO the barrel factory and just
joins the trestle, carrying away six
bents or 100 feet of the trestle. The ac-
cident happened at 6:3O o'clock A. NJ
and passage over the break was blocked
damage to the trestle will amount to
5000 and TO the steamer 800. No one
was injured, but had the accident oc-
cured five minutes sooner the $50 train
for Edgewater would have dashed into
the break and no one can tell what
would have been the fate OF the forty
persons that it carried. From Captain
Jackson, of the Eliza Anderson, the
following detailed account of the acci-
dent was obtained.
The Anderson was on her way to
Iesler's wharf. Captain Jackson was
at the wheel himself and the first mate
was Oh the lookout. The fog was so
thick that Captain Jackson could hard
ly make out the form of the mate as he
walked up and down the deck. Fifteen
minutes before the boat struck an out
going steamer was heard off to star
board. Captain Jackson blew two
whistles twice and, receiving no
answer, put his wheel to starboard, in
tending to make certain of clearing her.
When he heard her pass he altered
his course so as to get back to his rcgu-
lar course. The boat was just about on
the course when the mate made out the
form of the trestle. He Immediately
called to the captain, who rang to re-
verse the engines.
This was done but it was too late to
stop the boat. Her bow struck almost
in the angle formed by the trestle and
HOLSTERS wharf.
Into the woodwork the bow of the
onmoying vessel crashed. Ties were
torn up, rails displaced, bents over
turned and piles broken off. The mo
mentum was soon overcome, and the
steamer remained hard and inst in the
debris.
AS soon as it was ascertained that
the Anderson was not badly injured an
en0eavor was made to back her out,
but to no avail. 1t requiredl the free
use of couple of axes to free her frorn
the vice that held her She was finally
backed out when she steamed over to
Yesler's wharf. She was uninjured be-
yond the slowing in of her bulwarlxs
and the springing Of few stanchiong
The news CT the accident was SOON
brought to the local office Of the Seattle,
Lake Shore & Eastern, and at 7:30
O'Clock gang of mon were at work
repairing the break. The $40 train
from Snohomish WAS stopped north Of
the break, and the passengers enjoyed
a walk into town in the crisp morning
air. All of the company's power was
north of the break, and an engine and
coach had to be borrowed from the
Puget Sound Shore road to transfer the
passengers for the morning train to
ST. oqualmie to the train which had ar
rived from Snohomish. This train ran
to Snoqualmie and returned at 8 o'clock
in the evening, in time to cross the
trestle. 1t left for Snohomish again
last evening.
No suburban trains were run out dur
ing the day, and only mail matter on
the through trains was handled.
Traffic will be resumed this morning.
P.-I
