posed the plan, he said, personally
represented Secretary OF State
Blaine. He (Thatcher) objected to hav-
ing the official seal of the commission
put on a matter purely political, and
which he believed was designed to fur
ther the political plans of the distin-
guished secretary.
Governor Waller of Connecticut said
there was no politics in the committee
report. If Blaine got any benefit through
the action of the committee in arranging
South American exhibit, he was
entitled to it. Pending discussion, the
commission adjourned.
The Lady Managers.
At the meeting of the lady managers
Mrs. Logan argued that the business be
hurried through. EVERY day we stay

$1,000. Let us do something and save
ourselves from ridicule."
The board then worked industriously
on the formulation of its ideas of what
it wanted to ask from the national COM
mission. Among the matters proposed
by different members were: An admin
istrative building for the use of the
board, on the fair ground; no separate
buildings for the exhibition of women's
%eerrll.; the salary Of the secretary to be
$5000 that every exhibit be accom-
panied with a statement, specifying
whether it is or is not produced in
whole or in part, by female labor.
The lady managers of the worlds fair
elected Mrs. Trautman of New York first
yiee-president. The other vice-presi-
dents have not yet been selected.

WHISKEY AND MORPHINE.
They Cause the Death of William H.
Westcoatt.

Coroner Weldon held an inquest yes
terday afternoon on the body of William
H. Westcoatt, a stenographer, who died
on the 23d instant, at his residence, 461
North Bonnie Brae street. He had
been sick for considerable length OF
time, subsequent to one of his de-
bauches, which commenced at the con-
clusion of Miss Leila Latta's examin-
alton for murder before Justice Savage,
in which he was employed as shorthand
reporter.
DR.. L. Dearth, who had attended the
deceased until the beginning of this
month, testified that the cause of death
was due to the excessive use of alcoholic
stimulants and hypodermic injections of
morphine, to which the deceased had
been slave for more than three years.
Westcoatt used as much as from eight to
ten grains of the noxious drug daily.
Mrs. Kittie M. Westcoatt, the widow of
the dead man, said he was 50 years of
age. He would get full and keep it up
for two weeks at a time, drinking as
many as three small bottles of whiskey
daily. For the last three months he
had hardly taken any nourishment, but
he stimulated himself with two or three
shots from the "hypo," at the rate of
four grains per injection each day. The
verdict of the jury was that the deceased,
who was a native of California, had
come to his death by the excessive use of
alcohol and morphine. Westcoatt will
be buried this morning at 10 O'Clock, in
Evergreen cemetery, at the expense of
his father, who is in Nevada.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Miss Clara Morris at the Los
Angeles.


Miss Clara Morris made her appear
ance at the Los Angeles last night before
one of the finest audiences that has ever
filled that house. This was her second
appearance in this city. The play se-
lected for the opening night was the
well-known dramatization Of Alexander
Dumas's powerful story OF La Domeaux
Camelias, or Camille. Few plots have
taken more hold on the mind.
1t has been transferred from the
novel to the drama, and is used
also in the lovely opera La Traviata.
The drama is familiar one, few act
resses of the emotional school being able
to resist the opportunity opened to their
art in its touching scenes. 1t need not
be said that Miss Morris is not as she
steps on the stage an ideal Camille. She
has no longer the charms OF early youth
requisite to make the cast fit her. But
this is defect that only strikes the
mind for the moment. As soon as
the action OF the play gets well
under way, this is forgotten in the con-
summete art of the star. She portraits
all the deep emotions involved in that
pathetic story with the hand of an ar
tist who has sounded all the heights
and depths of the human heart in all
its darkest SORROWS and brightest joys.
Her tenderness and love have all the
effective power of reality in them las she
passes from one heart rending phase
to another of the story. Her paroxysms
of JOY, ,feigned to hide the deep emotions
OF her terrible grieis were marvellous
until they were surpassed by the appar-
emily real feeling thrown into the un-
speakable sorrows of her situation.
The minor parts were, on the whole,
we'll done by her skillful assistants, and
as whole the play was deeply affecting
to the intelligent audience that filed the
house.
Tonight the play will be Renee de
Moray.
Grand Opera House.
This evening Prof. Herrmanns cele-
brated organization, the Trans-Atlan-
tiqucs, commence their engagement at
the Grand opera house. It is hardly
necessary to make any comment on the
event, as the ans-Atlantiques created
such furore all over the country last
season that everybody has either seen
or heard of them. The company this
year is said to be even stronger than
before, which is the highest possible
praise that could be given it. Both
Europe and America have contributed
the leading artists in the specially
world to complete it's programme.

MoNTEsANo. WASH, Nov. lst.

MoNTEsANo. WASH, Nov. lst. Editor PICAYuSE Your issue of Oct. 23d, reached us Oct. 3Oth. First news from home. Thanks for notice of our departure. The local columns eagerly read by us all. Such quick transit of mail makes us feel that we are not so far away.
 It took some time to allay the emo- tions produced in parting with so many kind friends at Prescott. Our trip was made delightful by balmy weather and beautiful scenery. The Pacific Slope, arrayed in dense growth of evergreen grass, trees and vines, is in strong contrast with the long stretch of treeless and grassless plains and mountains of Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho and eastern Oregon. It seems to be a land of perpetual springtime.
 The Columbia valley is grand. We crossed at Kalama, in transfer boat Western Washington, from Kalama to Tacoma. seems to be an unbroken forest of fir and spruce. The towns are all new and the back lots are full of stumps and logs.
 Tacoma is great city. The sound country is very rich. Log booms, containing hundreds of acres of logs, give us an idea of the extent of the lumber trade. Yet the forests seem untouched. The water is thick with fish.
 Agriculture is behind, because farmers have not yet come here to develop this industry. The soil is very rich and especially adapted to fruits and gardens.
 We have been only week at Montesano. Have pleasant rooms that overlook the city. Lots here at from s100 to S1 ,000 per lot. Terms, in some cases, to suit the purchaser :; by monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual payments. The grass and clover are rich and green. Cows are giving full milk, 16 to 20 quarts per day. Great dairy country. Beef and mutton very fat. Beats Cali fornia for honey.
 saw the mill handle log feet in diameter. IL is easily done, all by steam power. The log is first made eight sided; then run down to six :, etc. There are many of these big logs. They are floated down the streams to the mill boom. This is the place for lumbermcn.
 Respectfully,
 JoHN A. ANsLEY.
