Promotion of Bloody Balfour.


An interesting rumor from the other side
of the ocean is that Balfour will soon sue
coed w. H. Smith as leader OF the house o.
commons. The latter will 60 to the house
OF peers as Lord Henley, he being of just
the ridiculous material of which new lords
are generally made. The chief significance
of the change is that Balfour will become
first lord of the treasury and give up his
place as secretary of state for Ireland. The
man named as his successor is Mr.. William
Davies Jackson. Few who sylnpathze
with unhappy Ireland will regret
to learn that this change is
impending. Balfour's influence in the
cabinet will be still more marked than now
in many ways, but Ireland, it is to be
hoped. will feel its weight less. 1t is hardly
possible that the new secretary of state for
Ireland can be worse than Balfour, and
there is some hope that he will be de-
cided Improvements. Deplorable as it is,
there is no doubt that the man who is re-
sponsible for the worst OF Ireland's recent
wrongs, is rapidly rising man in the
Tory party. Should Tory successes I'M
fortunately continue. it is quite possible
that the future may see him at the head of
the Tory cabinet. He is certainly ADLER in
wrongdoing than the present premier.

Gray's Harhor Train wrecked-A New
Line of steamers.
ABERDEEN Aug I6.-The logging train
on the Puget Sound & Gray's Harbor
road was wrecked near Mcbride Thursday,
and several cars smashed up, but no one
was hurt The wreck was caused by the
rails spreading. The accident happened
just before the passage OF the passenger
train from Kamilchie. which would prob
ably have met the same fate and not I'M
likely killed or injured several passengers.
as the train was loaded. The passenger
train was delayed FIVE hours by the acci-
dent, aud the day was extremely hot, but
there was no complaint, all seeming to be
glad it happened to the logging train.
G. +. Mack, who has been missing since
Friday last was found last night near town
at water reservoir. He was in starved
and demented condition. Mr.. Mack had
recently Sold considerable property. and it
was feared he had been murdered for his
money. For some time he had been act
ing strangely, and those who knew him
best thought it quite likely he had wan
dered off and was drowned or had per-
ished from hunger. Being a highly re-
spected and old-time citizen, great interest
was manifested in his case.
w. K. Smith has commenced the erec-
ton of three-story business house on g
street.
Mr. Devere came here some weeks since
and erected cheap building, 25x125 feet,
in which he proposes to run a free and

across the street from the public school
building, citizens of Aberdeen naturally
object and will present a vigorous pro test
to the council.
The Gray's Harbor Commercial Com
panv, running q line OF steamers between
Aberdeen and San Francisco, propose to
put on some iirst-class passenger steamers
if the Harbor people will give them all
their California trade. instead of having
about half their freight shipped by sailing
vessels as is now done. They would even
be satisfied to do it If given that of the reg
ular shippers, There is need of good pas
senger steamers on this route and it is
quite likely the company will receive the
proper encouragement.
