Of all the leading cities in this new
State, none have made more progress than
Ellensburgh. Burned up in July last, its
citizens Immediately went to work re-
building. and to-day Ellensburgh can
show more brick frontage than any young
city on the Pacific coast. 1t is the heart
of Washington, and has all the elements
of success. 1t has gold. silver, copper,
iron and coal mines; it is surrounded by
one of the most extensive agricultural and
grazing sections of the State; it has un-
limited water power for manufactures. II
is establishing manufactures, and is des-
tined to be the Pittsburgh of the Pacific.
Walters & Co., the pioneer real estate
dealers and loan agents, have city bust
ness and residence property, addition
property and acre tracts; they have farms
ranches and mines, which they offer to the
public on reasonable terms. They take
pleasure in showing strangers around.

Senator Elnir Throws n bomb Among the
Democratic Senators.
WASHINGTON, August L. Senator
Blair gave the Democratic side Of the
Senate sheck this morning by intro
ducing a resolution instructing the
Committee on Rules to report rule to
permit Of the calling Of tie previous
question.
Objection coming from the Democrats,
it went over till tomorrow. When it is
called up it will undoubtedly be strenu-
ously objected to by the Democrats, who
may take the advantage and talk it out.
When Senator Blair was asked If he
had introduced the resolution upon his
own responsibility, or II 1t was the pro-
duct OF Monday nights caucus, he
smiled but declined to answer. 1t is,
therefore, inferred that his action was
inspired by the caucus.
There is n great deal OF speculation as
TO the fatc of the resolution, the general
opinion being, however, that nothing
will come Of it. :
During another conversation in regard
to the resolution, Senator Blair said that
he believed it to be the opinion OF Of a
majority Of the Republican Senators
that the time had arrived for the adop
ton OF rule by which debate might be
controlled. lie would not admit, how
ever, that he was acting by direction O
the caucus. He was not, he said, the
St. Peter Of that body. by whom wha
was bound in tho caucus should bt
bound in the Senate, and what wal
loosed in the caucus should be loosed il
the Senate. He said that 1t was appar
ent that not one OF the twenty-five i'm
portsnt measures on the calendar couit
be passed without change Of rules Al
proposed in his resolution. 2

What English Critic. Saw.

LONDON, August 1.-The cable report
that the United States postal authorities
had excluded Tolstoi's "Kreulzer
Sonata" from the mails is received here
with expressions Of mingled astonish.
ment and ridicule. A well.known
literary man said tonight: I'm view OF
the nauseating and paltry indecency OF
many American novels chiefly those OF
women writers-wlich are coming over
here every day, and which are presum.
ably allowed to circulate through
American mails, one can hardly credit
this report that Tolstoi's remarkable
though painful study has been singled
out for the rare condemnation OF the
United States Government. It will be
interesting to BEE what will follow. II
the Washington postal authorities have
constituted themselves censors OF liter
ary morality, they must not stop short
with Tolstoi's. Who will be the next
victim, or perhaps it would be more
correct to say, next beneficiary, from an
advertising point Of view, Of their fas.
tidious Judgment" ~
Another critic, on being shown the
cablegram, said: "rhis very singular
official action. The fact is that the
'kreutzer Sonata is as far removed from
the erotic immoralities OF fiction as a
physiological text book is from an Oh.
scene picture book. While We may
question Tolstol's Judgment, we are not
permitted 10 doubt the exaltation Of his
purpose in writing the book. Eminent
medical men and moralists have agreed
that the subject matter Of the book is
one which demands recognition, and
that Tolstol's treatment OF it, while not
perhaps conclusive, is justilable on the
ground TINT it is scientific in aim, though
popular in method"
