Seattle Greatly Exercised Over the
Action of the Harbor Liae Com
mission.
SEArrLE, Oct, 29.-The harbor line
commission having expended nearly its
whole appropriation, and having been
enjoined from laying their lines over
nearly every wharf and water front i'm
provement in this city, in such manner
as to conhscate them, adjourned to-
night, subject to the call of the chair
man. Colonel Prosser, the chairman,
to-day announced that he thought the
proposition came too late, for before the
notices had been served tho commi ssion
had already adopted the line, and had
done everything but to file the plats
with the authorities. The members of
the commission say they will await the
action OF the courts In the matter. They
do not believe they have acted beyond
their power Of Jurisdiction. In laying
the line they have had an eye to the
future commercial needs of the city,
rather than to the present conditions.
Public feeling is very high over what
Is considered an outrage to the city.
If the courts sustain ths action of tine
harbor line commission on the proper
ties mentioned, ali others in the
strip will belong forever and absolutely
| to the state, and no part OF it can be used
except on lease from the state for O
period not exceeding thirty years. The
parties interested in this property will
| fight the matter in the courts 10 the bit
ter end. on the ground that the property
is by the action OF the commission con-
| fiscated without compensation or due
process OF law.
Three more orders of prohibition
were issued against the commission
to-day. the plaintiffs being the Simpson
Mill Company, OF Ballard, whose big
mill on Salmon bay, costing over $780,
Columbia IL Puget Sound railroad,
whose bunkers and tracks nre included,

GENERAL MILES, IDEAS
Desertion Still Frequent in
the Army.
THE NEED OF COAST DEFENSES
Our Navy Gould Not Defend Our
Long Line of Sea-
board.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-Major General
Mills in his annual report of the mill
tary division of the Pacific, while re-
porting that the toue and character OF
the service Is most excellent says any
system Is defective which leaves with
little advance ment and slight hope OF
recognition q class of citizens who de-
vote themselves entirely to military
service. The artillery branch should be
increased by at least two regiments, and
the sole organization should be given to
the infantry thrt exists in the best
armies of the world, namely, three
battalion organizations.
General Miles says the various
methods resorted to to diminish deser-
tion have not to any considerable ex-
tent done so. lie believes, however,
that we are approaching the solution of
Gently adopted are step in the right
direction.
The holding of the discontented In
dian tribes, the San Carlos tribes, on the
San Carlos reservation, especially along
the Gila river, which is unsuited to
them and often unhealthy, will always
be source Of dangerous disturbance.
As several military posts and reserva-
tions in the department of Arizona have
been abandoned, he recommends that
they be at once occupied by the Indians,
or converted into industrial schools,
and the Mojave, Tonto and Yuma In
dams be removed there at once from the
sckly Gila valley. The San Carlos
Indians, now along the San Carlos river
and White mountains, should be located
ON sufficient part of the reservation
and the remainder thrown open to such
use as can be made of it by citizens.
The tribes would be more easily cou.
trolled when separate. especially in such
region as they are now compelled to
occupy.
General Miles speaks at considerable
length on the coast defense question,
reite rating his well known views on the
subject. The recent practice maneuvers
OF the English navy demonstrated, he
said. the fact that their powerful navy
could not defend even the limited coast
OF that island. 1t is useless to suppose
amy navy we can construct can defend
our extensive sea coast. Land batteries
ships as means of defense. The gen.
lenses be secured without delay, q gun
foundry be established on the Pacific
coast and one.fourth of the appropria-
ton required for coast defense be made
every year for the next four years.

VOOLFOLK EXECUTED.
Extreme Penalty for tho Most Afro
ciOus Crime In Georgia.


cious Crime In Georgia.
PERRY, Ga, Oct 29.-Tom Voolfolk
was hanged at 80 p. NJ.
The crime for which Voolfolk suf-
fered death was most atrocious. On the
night of August q, 1887 in Bibb county,
nine people were brutally murdered by
him. The victims we're Captain Richard
E. Voolfolk and wife; their children,
Richard E., Jr., Susan, Pearl, Annie,
Rosebud, Charlie and Matte, and Mrs.
Welt, aged "a. The scene of the crime
was Voolfolk homestead a country
farm house. The first alarm of the trag-
edy came from Tom Voolfolk, the only
survivor of the family.
The news that a terrible crime had
been committed rapidly spread, and
soon great crowd gathered around the
place. Nine dead hodies were found ly-
ing in horrible confusion in the house,
every one Drained with an axe. Moth
ing in the house had been disturbed. 1t
was evident the crime had not been
committed for robbery. WooIfolks ac-
count of the crime was unsatisfactory,
and suspicion quickly fell on him as the
murderer. He was arrested. The mo-
tive for the crime was found in Tom $
enmity for his stepmother and his de-
sire to have undisturbed possession of
his fathers property. Voolfolk was
tried twice before being convicted and
sentenced to death

"COLoNEL's" LETTER.
Birchail ana Its Author Were To-
Rether at MorleYa.


LONDON, Oct 29.-Inquiries made at
Morley's hotel Trafalgar square to-day,
to ascertain what truth there was in the
story from Montreal about Birchall,
under sentence of death at Woodstock,
Canada. for the murder of Benwell,
elected the information that Birchall
and "Colonel, the alleged author of the
letter received by Birchali, in which the
writer acknowledged that he shot and
killed Benwell, were at the hotel last
January.
The books OF the hotel show that an
American styling himself Colonel
Lewis" arrived there January 1, and re-
mained until the oath. Birchall arrived
January IA and was guest until the
18th. Mr.. Stevens, of Montreal, the
gentleman who told of seeing Birchail,
Benwell and the Colonel at the hotel,
registered at the hotel January 15 and
left on the Goth.
Colonel Lewis is we'll known by the
servants Of the hotel. They retain a
vivid recollection of him. They describe
him as a somewhat pompous looking
man, five feet six inches in height, stout,
wore u long mustache, complexion in
clined to be fair He was heavy
drinker, and was generally known as
THE Colonel" Birchall and Colonel
Lewis seemed to be ON intimate terms,
were often together, and appeared well
In each others confidence, Since Janu-
ary the Colonel often called at the
hotel, but did not remain. He left di-
rections for his letters to be forwarded
to Streatham, Surrey. His exact ad-
dress has not been traced.
Birchail and the colonel while at the
hotel often invited gentlemen to pass
the evening with them. The servants
can not identify any visitor who an
swered the description given of Ben we'll.
Colonel Lewis went to America in Oc-
tober or November, 1889. His repeated
visits to the hotel render it likely that
he had been out of England since jan
uary.
A number of walters at Morley's hotel
state that they remember Colonel Lewis
to have been there when the Benwell
murder was committed. They remen-
ber distinctly that the manager of the
hotel and the colonel discussed the
murder.

PITTsBURG, Oct. 29.-There will be no
general federation of locomotive en-
gineers with brake men, fremen, con-
ductors and other railway employees.
As stated last week the majority report
favoring the federation, presented at the
brotherhood convention, was defeated.
Since that convention has finally de-
cided not to federate with any other or.
ganization, the matter has been left with
each of the forty-tve divisions to act as
they may deem proper. They can, If
they think necessary, join hands with
other train men when differences arise.
The brotherhood believes in maintain
ing an independent position, hence their
refusal to adopt the resolutions provid-
