Mrs. Thomas C. Platt.


Mrs. Thomas C. Platt is not only q fine
amateur photographer. but, what is rare
for woman, a skiilful whist player. Her
collection of photographs, all taken by her.
self is remarkable for its variety and COM
prehensiveness. Accompanying her hus-
band whenever he makes an extensive trip,
Mrs. Plat has never failed to take her
camera with her. and to use it whenever
a good picture was obtainable. A year ago
she and Mr.. Platt and General Alger vent
to Alaska. There were great opportunities
for good pictures among the Indians and
the glaciers of that region, and Mrs. Platt
improved them admirably. Those who
had the pleasure of listening to her vivid
description of the trip, illustrated by her
photographs, have an excellent idea of
Alaska and its inhabitants. Mrs.
Plat PLAYS whist according to the
most improved American methods. She
knows all the leads, and how to signal her
partner. and is a firm believer in partners
assisting each other. Not many women
can play whist at alt. They think they
"full rgor of the game" to use Mrs. Bot
ties expression, it is delightful to watch
their pretty faces, as they puzzle over the
cards. and invariably play the one they
ought not. They are generally so peni-
tent, too, when the mistake is explained TO
them alter the game. tnat man With
good deal of humor and great forbearance
can while away an evening playing whist
with women. But for man who likes to
have whist played scientifically. such an
evening is period of torture to be looked
back upon with horror. Mrs. Platt, how
ever, is 10 such woman. Few men excel
her in her knowledge of the incest points
of whist, and to have her for a partner,
always assuming that you are scientific
player yourself, is an intellectual entertain
ment worth remembering.

OF the boys and did all that
he could to push them along on the
road TO riches and success i'll their chosen

they have achieved in the WAYS OF material

Present Situation.

PoRr townsend, July Especial In
spector CoblenIz and Customs INSPECTORS
Matheson and Woodley and Deputy
United States Marshal Nudgett arrived
this afternoon from ten days cruise on
the sloop Annie. formerly the property of
Smuggler Holt.
The sloop Paris. belonging to a man who
resides on Waldron island known as
"Frenchy," and an unnamed sloop were
seized. The Paris was taken Thursday
last. This vessel has been trading and, it
is suspected, engaged in smuggling be-
tween the islands on this side and British
Columbia, and has never entered or
cleared, according to the customs laws.
The Paris, with her crew of two men. was
taken to Roche Harbor and the sloop left
in charge of deputy collector there. She
will be brought to this city at the first
favorable opportunity.
Another sloop was boarded in the
straits OF Georgia, and as the men in charge
were known and can be easily apprehend-
ed, they were ordered 10 Port Townsend to
report to the collector. The sleop had I'M
dergone repairs and received q complete
new outfit of sails at Victoria, on which no
duty had been paid. as is required by law.
The weather has been bad in the straits
and the sloop may have had difficulty in
reaching this port, for she has not vet ar
rived.

TACOMA, July Tone of the most miser-
able exhibitions of baseball ever seeL was
put mp by both teams this afternoon, and
only q small and Disguised crowd wit
messed it. The cause OF the trouble was
the umpire, 0gara, who was wholly in
competent. and hardly knew the first prin-
cipie of the game. He was appointed by
Secretary Maxfeld, McCue having been re-
leased.
1t Is said that he was driver of . pop
wagon and pitcher in shoe-store nine in
this city. He would make decision, and
the players would gather around him.
when he would change it. Then he got
nervous at the grand stand. and If they
gave a sign OF disapproval before the de-
cision was made he would decide that way.
His calling OF strikes and balls was simply
outrageous. The clubs acted like lot of
small boys playing marbles, and any
amount of squabbling was INDUCED in.
1t consumed as much time to play nine
innings today as il took to play fifteen
Saturday. The Seattle club could not play
under such circumstances. and did not
try. The game was featureless. Fitzgerald
was hit hard, as the score will show.
Favour pitched good game. Manager
Rockwell will protest the game. The score:

THE BEHRING SEA CONTROVERSY.
Certainly No Armed Conflict VIII Occur
During Negotiations.

during Negotiations.
WASHINGTON CITY, July IA sensa-
uonai article was printed to-day to the eff
feet that the British minister, Sir
Julian Pauncefoie, had broken off
the Behring sea negotiations
with Mr.. Blaine and notified him
that If American revenue cutters seized
any sealers carrying the British flag. Brit
ish war ships would recover them by force
II necessary. Stories of this kind have ap-
peared frequently during the past year.
and this particular story was this evening
officially denied by Sir Julian Pauncefort.
He said:
have made NJ communication OF the kind
TO M aine. There is no doubt that our YES
seis in the Northern Pacii ocean are there to
p otect the British flag snd orr sealers. but |
have not broken off negotiations and there
Is no reason to expect a disturbance
OF the friendly relations existing between the
two governments. Mr. Blaine has left for Bar
Herbor for the benefit of his health, and 1 am
about to go to Observation-Disclosures ano
sasl there continue the negotiations with Mr.
Blaine.
Sir Julian was not aware what instruc-
lions had been given the British feet, but
thought it very unlikely that during
friendly negotiations trouble would occur
on one side or the other likely TO provoke
any disturbance. He added:
The great point is that negotiations
have not been broken off and IT. at these alarm
ist reports, which really do much harm, are
not correct.
1t is understood that the last communi.
cation on the sealeries question sent from
the department was one in which Blaine
went into a full argument of this
country's side of the contro-
versy. Great Britain is aiming at
settling the whole difficulty by arbitration.
There are two principal questions at issue.
The first question Is as to what regulations
would De sufficient TO secure closed sea-
son. The two governments are agreed that
the seal species should be preserved but
differ as to what means are necessary to
that end. 1T is believed a settlement OF the
matter will be reached The next
question is rs to the legal rights of the
United States to entire possession and con-
troll OF the seal fisheries in Behrlng sea. to
the exclusion and deprivation of Great
Britain and other countries. Great Britain
regards that as a question of law, and hopes

they, as usual. ordered two bottles. Jones,

lege of the waiter of acting as his substi-
tute The waiter cheerfully assented, and
Jones was the happiest man in the world
for a few minutes.
He was soon in Mrs. CleveIand's recep-
ton room. Jones set the tray and bottles
on the center table and undertook to draw
the corks. Mrs. Hicks was seated at the
further side of the room, while Mrs.
Cleveland sat close to the table reading
book. She looked up to him, gave him
nod and pleasant look, as much as to say

The first exp plot was to break the cork

other one. By this time be was consider.

ness don't you think he pointed the bottle
in such way that when the cork few out

shoulder, and in his excitement over the
catastrophe he Immediately added another
by overturning the bottle itself, so that a
portion of its contents went Sizing into her
lap!
BY this time he was little better than a
raving maniac, and in hurriedly STOPPING
to right the bottle out from his hand and

cigars to the floor.
Mrs. Cleveland, now vexed. but greatly
amused, rose and went TO brushing off the
wet from her clothes, at the same time
telling the poor fellow not to mind it at all

But he did mind il, nevertheless, and
after emptying the other bottle, which he
managed to do without further mishap, be
hurried ont of the room, his face as red as
a boiled lobster, and wishing, for all the
world. that his unluckv star had never
