THE N. P.'s NEW DEpoT.H
Judge CaIkins Denies the Cities Ap-
plicntIou I'm r. mn Uut,o,tt.u


plicatlon far an Injunction.
In the case of the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company VS.. the City of Spo-
Kane Falls ct al, on trial before Judge
Calkins of the United States district
court, 1t was held that the strip of land
designated on the map as "Railroad
street" by the railroad company when II
laid out its addition to the town, ex-
copied from the grant of dedicatum to
the public tho right to lay Its tracks
down over the street-which IL subse-
quently did-and also any other use
which the railroad company might there
after find Ii necessary to make of the
street In operating its railroad. That
the erection of depot building was a
necessary part of a railroad Tor the con-
venience and use of the public, and that
the use reserved by its grant to the
public gave it the right to erect such a
structure on said street. That while the
railroad had by its subsequent acts dedi-
Gated Howard Monroe and perhaps all
the other cross streets--except Mill and
Lincoln, as to Lincoln at least-there
never had been an abandonment of the
reservation by. the railroad company as
to said street, which II reserved to itself
in its original plat. 1t had always main
tanned, and in fact had partially at least
obstructed that street by its platforms
and depot structures, till the time OF the
fire and had thus ovinced its intention
to make suoh use of the street.
In this attitude of affairs the court
held that 1t could not change the con-
tract, but must leave it as 1t is. The in
junction asked by the city was therefore
denied

CONVEY A CANDIDATE.

II was announced tonight that John
II. Convey, chairman Of the republican
state central committee, had announced
his candidacy, and had entered the arena
with eight votes. Nobody is surprised,
for it is generally known that Mr.. Convey
has had this step in contemplation for
sometime. When he was in Portland
recently he told the writer that If the
squabble in Western Washington con-
tinued he would be candidate.
Members of the legislature who were
interviewed tonight did not attach
much Importance to Conveys candidacy.
Governor Squire refused to believe the
statement about Convey.
Squire's friends claim his election ON
the first ballot. They estimate his
strength all the way from sixty to eighty
votes. He undoubtedly has larger fol-
lowing than Allen, but it is not so well
organized.
The King county delegation had a
somewhat stormy esuoas. to-day. ., The
bone of contenti|n was sergeant at. arms
of the house. Rutter, Jones, Grant and
Bothell presented the name of Robert
Ehman of Seattle, and Rutter declared
tacitly that he proposed to stand by his
friends If it cost King county the sena-
torship.

men of the legislatures: Are you are go,
ing to vote for q man who has conducted
his campaign by vilifying his Opponent,
who has made false representations ana
who has taken every advantage to
slander himp"
The circular goes on to say that Thomp-
son s made his money by ioa oixaetting usury
"Such man is Walter J. Thompson."
1t makes about $50 words all tod. Ex.
Delegate Brents on being interviewed
said that he was In no combination and
had made no bargains. He thought the
boom was all on the surface and that
there Is strong undercurrent for him.
Brcrts' men say that he will get the
third ballot and be elected.
The tip was out this afternoon that
Allen would combine with some Wost-
ern Washington man, against Squire.
Mr.. Allen denied this tonight. He Is
still confident and Aliens managers say
that his following is growing in numbers
and enthusiasm, and believe that he
VIII be elected on the first ballot. Mem
bers who are coming In, they say, are
urging his candidacy on the ground OF
MS election to congress last year, after
party had been defeated.
Members from Walla Walla, Column
bio, Garfield and Asotin counties, ten in
number, arrived to-day and declared
themselves solid for Allen.
Estimates Of the strength. of the sspir.
ants differ widely. Here is one by a
KING county man: Squire 70, Allen be
tween 80 and 40, Hyde IL, Thompson a,
Sprague IL, Bronts 7, doubtful 20.

THE ROYAL STUD AT KIsBER.
How the Austro- Hungarian Army Is
Supplied with Fresh Horses.

London Sthndardl
The Hungarian state keeps alto
gether four studs, viz: Mezohegyes,
with 1646 horses of various breeds;
Babolna, with $50 horses, and Fo-
garas, with AL, both for Arabian
horses; finally Kisber, with 500
horses, principally for the lmporta-
tion and breed of British horses,
racers, rs well as half-breeds. The
state keeps other depots of stations
at different places, having altogeth-
er 23OO there i'm 1887, the latest year
for which return has been pre-
pared.
The review of the Kisber lasted
over two hours. The emperor was
seated on the covered tribune of the
open riding school, and all the gem
erals and other staff officers, as we'll
as the military attaches, were al
lowed to go where they liked, in or
der to have the closest inspection OF
the splendid horses and the whole
establishment. The first to pass
muster were tbirty-fve half-breed
stations, beautiful animals, all led
into the circle by their trainers, as
the state does not dispose of this
costly material except when the
horses are fully broken in. The en-
thusiasm of the cOnnoisse,irs at
seeing these fine creatures was
somewhat premature, for soon after
ward ten thoroughbred stations
were brought in, the pride of the
royal stud of Kisber. There was no
need of mentioning their names, as
was done In the case of the half
breeds, as all of the guests knew and
recognized them.
Horses like Verneuil, Craig Mil
lar, Doncaster, Ruperm, Sweetbread
and Gunnersbury, all of which are
English, are too we'll known by the
international turf not to he recog-
nized by the gentlemen who We're
assembled, so that their curiosity re-
mained concentrated on the four
thoroughbred bred Of English
parents I'm Kisber. Verneuil had
not been in the arena for several
years, as his temper had caused
many inconvenience. He proved
80 unmanageable and obstinate on
| the last occasion that this time II
WAS deemed advisable to put on him
o leather nuzzle, from which chains
were suspended on each side, and
these We're held by strong men.
The horse consequently kept per.
fectly quiet, with his head on one
side, and the emperor and his guests
expressed their admiration at his
form.
His majesty and the visitors after.
ward made round of the stables,
pasture places, and the rest of the
breeding establishment. For each
couple OF mares there In an inclosure
of nearly two acres of pasture land,

great indignation there ON account of the
speech made by Mr.. Miner in Costa

minister OF the United States to the Cen
tral American states. 1t was stated that
Misner had reflected upon Mexico in con.
nection with the boundary dispute be-
tween that country and Guatemala.
Romero said the remarks of Mizner
had been officially disavowed and moth
ing further would be done in the matter
by Mexico. There has been, he added,
"ho intention to ask for Mizner's recall
That was not desired Minister Miner
having made the statement he did all
the Mexican government wanted to
know was whether the insult was made
by the United States, but 1t now feels
assured that the utterances were un-
authorized, and that settles it,"
