A Turkish NIan-of- War Carries Down Five
Hundred Men.
LONDON, Sept. 19.-Advices from Hiogo,
state that the Turkish man-of-war Erto-
groul had foundered at sea and 500 of her
crew were drowned. The Ertogroul was a
wooden friRate, 1884 tons, mounted forty
one guns of email calibre, and was built in
1868. Osman Pacha and Ali Pacha, ENJOYS
of the sultan to the emperor of Japan, were
among the drowned. Osman Pacha,
whose victory over the Russians at
Plevna gave him high rank az
a fighting general, had been on an official
visit to Japan, having been intrusted with
a special visit from the Sultan to the
Mikado. The progress Of the Ertogroul
many months ago has been most ludicrous.
Leaving Turkey short of money, it was
understood supplies were to be sent her to
ports ut which she was to coal, with the
result that her sojourn in different coun-
tries was indefinitely prolonged, rs the
officers at home were unable to keep their
promises. In this way she lost some of
her crew and her officers were many times
on tho verge of rebellion, induced by star
walton, while the governors of the cities
visited refused to remit tho harbor dues
as a Turkish man-of-war on the ground
that if she was sailing in that character
there was not powder enough on board to
enable her crew to fire the regulation ga
lntes. After many adventures only worthy
any opera boutfe she finally arrived in
Japanese waters. She was on her return
voyage when the disaster occurred.

A RELIC OF BARBARISM.


II is understood that the legislature of
Illinois, at the forthcoming session, will
attempt to conform the laws of that state
10 existing conditions in very important
particular. namely. the relations between
man and wife and their progeny. rather
than leave them conforming 10 barbarous
conditions that were obliterated more
than a quarter of a century ago. This
would seem 10 be a simple matter, admit

Anti-Foreign Feeling in Japan.


The railway authorities inform us that COM
plants have been several times preferred of Jap
anese ladies being insulted by foreigners at the
stations, and we sincerely hope that an example
will be made OF the blaekguard who committed
the offence on the 18th inst Rudeness to 4 lady
travelling by railway is thing absolutely I'M
known among the japanese themselves, and,
apart from the indignation which every decent
person must feel against the rufianism OF this
hotel runner, there is the additional regret
that the good name OF foreigners should
be dragged through the dirt by such
seandalous conduct. 1t is too bad that
the sense OF absolute security felt by japanese
ladies in railway travelling should be destroyed
by the unbridled license of vulgar foreigners,
and We must confess unbounded establishment
that the offender in this case was suffered to re-
main for an hour in the employment of a re-
spectacle hotel. OF course ii q foreigner mis-
behaving himself in this manner, received per
sonal chastisement at the hands OF japanese,
we should Immediately have an cutlery about
anti-foreigu feeling and Japanese savagery.
Nevertheless, We earnestly hope that one OF

about his ears if such practices are persisted in

AN ABSURD REPORT.

The latest discovery of the Tacoma Globe
is that there is popular uprising in Seat
tie against the reelection of Senator Squire
and that there is here large and power
full faction that will fight him to the death.
1t is asserted, in connection with the an
nouncement of this extraordinary news,
that the opposition to Squire is based upon
recent exposure of corrupt methods" by
the Globe. All of which is very
amusing. As a matter of fact, the senti-
ment in this city is practically solid for
Squire. There is no Republican here of
political standing or personal influence
who is not an earnest advocate of Squire's
reelection. There has not been any
talk of a second choice" for Seattle
has no second choice-feeling certain of
Squire's success. He needs no second
choice. The Globes exposures, so far as
they have attracted any notice at all, are
laughed at as utterly and monstrously alb
surd and false. The enemies of Senator
Squire are deluding themselves if they
seriously believe that there is any 'move-
ment" here against him. His name will
go before the legislature backed by
the solid vote of our representa-
tives and the unanimous support of our
people

THE OLD-TIME RING.

The following from the Pittsburg Post
of December %, has the true ring of genu-
inc and incorporating Republicanism.
Referring to the present attitude of the
Republicans in the Senate, the Post says:
Before them is measure to which Republic
canism Is committed by its whole history, the
elections bill. 1t is a measure which crowns the
work OF the party in behalf of free and honest
government To it the party is pledged. The
thing to do is to fulfil the pledge That would
be principle. But there are side issues and in
terests which interfere. Attention is given to
them, speculation is devoted to them, estimates
made of the consequences of certain attitudes
toward them. This is expediency. 1t is the
policy of cowardice. Ii is the first notable in
stance of it in the Republican party. =
Everything is clear before the Republican sena-
tors. That is, everything which they ought to
consider. Their duty is clear. When that is
lost to sight men are lost in the field of conjee-
ture. The compact force degenerates into lot
OF stragglers. All would like to reach the COM
mon end. but no two go the same way. Repub-
icanism has won its victories through its COM
pact forces. They were compact because they
were animated by fidelity 10 principle. They
did the duty which lay nearest to hand, and
trusted to the future to justify them. 1t has
The past ought 10 be lesson for the present. 1t
shows that victorious party is never party of
expedieney. Then return to principle. Do the
right and stand by it.

moved TO Illinois, and married again.
After acquiring considerable property, he
died. The daughter by the first marriage,
having also become resident of Illinois,
laid claim in a court of that state to
share of the property.
The court, after a thorough presentation
of the facts and of the law of his state, felt
constrained to give judgment against the
daughter, on the ground that the marriage
of her parents was void under the laws OF
the state in which it was cousummated,
which laws regarded them as chattels.
and therefore incompetent to make any
contract or incur any binding obligations.
But while such was the letter of the Law In
Kentucky, the practice did not conform
TO it; to large extent il was an undis-
puted dead letter Marriages between
slaves were common, duly solemnized by
authorized ministers of the gospel to the
knowledge and with the encouragement OF
their owners, and often in their presence
and that of other white people.
Nevertheless the law of Illinois took
cognizance of the laws rather than the
customs of Kentucky, and an Illinois
Judge felt constrained to render decision
which in effect illegitimized the fruit of an
honestly intended and duly solemnized
marriage. 1t may be added to his credit
that the judge in rendering this decision
expressed hope that it might be reversed
on appeal to the supreme court.
1t would seem that if the members Of the
Illinois legislature have any respect for the
changed spirit of the times, and are not
disposed to have their great and prosper

sentiment, they will make haste to avert
the possibility of another such judgment.

smacks of it or grew out of it be relegated

oblivion

These, under the management of few socialist
leaders, soon became unruly and began TO at
tack the municipal authorities and the Weather
portion of the inhabitants. The latter, on their
side, were compelled, in self-defense, to form an
association called the Seigi-kai. Thus the whole
place was divided into two parties, and social
intercourse, as well as business transactions,
ceased between them. The socialist party
secretly collected clubs and sword-sticks to at
tack the members of the Seigi-kai, and the
authorities were forced to interfere. The Nschs
Nica Shimbua, commenting on this event, calls
the attention of the government and the MEM
bers of the diet to the importance OF devising
some measures for checking the spread OF the
eontagion engendered at Miyazaki. In former
times the comparatively equal distribution OF
wealth prevented the rise of a socialist party,
but signs are now becoming apparent that the

Cathlamet Gazette.
1t is a well known fact that during the sum-
mer season large quantities OF sturgeon are
caught at the Cascades. The esviare is removed
and saved and the balance of the fish wantonly
wasted. This system is ruinous to the sturgeon
industry. This season the total value of the
sturgeon exported from the river is estimated at
$4,000 This speaks well for the future pros
poets OF business that is barely in its inception
and shows the need Of wise and timely iegisIa-
ton for its fuTtherance. An effort is now to be
made to get the sturgeon fishermen to unite on
some measures prescribing the time OF fishing,
the preservation OF the young fish and have such
other laws enacted as may seem necessary and
