THE CORPORATIONS CLAIMS,
Attorneys for the Railroads Protest
They Meant No Harm

Colonel ]. c. Haines, the counsel of the
Columbia Puget Sound railway, said
yesterday III regard to the crossing at
Columbia street: Il regard the attacks on
Judge Orange Jacobs and the criticism of
has conduct IN signing the stipulation as
doing him great injustice. AS to the
charge that he had been drinking so much
that lac was not in full possession of his
powerS-that is wholly without founda-
ton. He knew perfectly we'll what he was
about. | have known Judge Jacobs for
years, and have never seen him intoxi-
Gated. Another fact. he was able TO pre-
side at the meeting of the Bar Association
on Monday night.
II cannot be accused of preiudice in
favor of Judge Jacobs, for though we are
both Republicans. he has steadily onnoSed
me IN the party, and at one time ana an
other he has said the most unpleasant
things ever said about me. But he has
fought me openly.
He is an honorable man, entitled in
every way to the respect of the COM
munity.
Now, as to the suit. The city has had
no case. That he must have known ali
along, although other city attorneys have
tried 10 fight US. This compromise with
the. city was largely arranged in Judge
Llchtenberg's presence, ana but little of
the negotiation was carried on auvwbern
else.
The city tried TO block us from CROSSING
Columbia street by raising the grade
eighteen inches. That, of course, We couid
not climb, and we were fighting for our
rights IN court. Then the citv cuf tbc
grade down TO eight inches. We could
come up 10 that, and 50 there was no far.
ther cause for dispute. We simply signed
an agreement to conform to that grade
Judge Jacobs induced Us to agree To thai
although We might have insisted up,1n emf
ting down and leaving a break In the
street.
The city ought not 70 COMPLAIN. for he
has saved il deal OF trouble. II anyone
Is 10 be found fault with we are the men
and the railroad companies might blame

The tearing up of the track does not
bother me, for more rails and ties can he
found; and We shall Law them again. We
have stipulation With the CITY and wa

Z L. J. Smith, the general manager of the

SAID: We could get no right-of-way on
Railroad avenue We were not going N
trade The old right-of-way or no right-of-

of the past ten days made 1t impossible

steamer Augusta Under the Waves.

The little steamer Augusta, Captain
Foley, master, which plies from Seattle TO
Port Madison and Doghsh bay, is under
water, her smokestack just showing at high
tide. She left Port Madison about O'Clock
Monday evening and ran aground on the
sandspit only short distance out. It
expected she would float when the tide
came in, but for some reason she did not,
and the water rising over her, filed her
full. She probably will be raised with
little difficulty and without great loss, as
she had little cargo on at the time

The Snanish LANGUAGE.

The Spanish woman is romantic in the
broadcast sense of the expression. From the
cradle to the grave her life is one of romantic
intrigues. 1t must be so or she is intensely
miserable She lives her inner life in mad,
passionate way that would utterly eclipse a
heroine of Mrs Amelia Rives-Chanler. The
Spanish language is admirably adapted to the
Spanish people. 1t is language of music
and sentimant. Any one who has ever heard
Spanish spoken as it should be, with grace and
elegance, cannot fail to have been charmed
with the rich contralto sound of the Spanish
voice and the sonorous novels, pronounced
strong and clear, with which the Spanish
language abounds Charles V was not far
wrong when he said that the Spanish was the
language with which to talk to the gods. 1t
has grandeur and dignity of expression I'M
equaled by any modern tongue, and at the
same time it can sound q note from the heart
strings as soft and tender as summer breeze,
and as fine and strong as a platinum wire
Many of the ladies in Mexico are learning
English, in view of the closer relations be-
tween the two republics, and their thick lisp
ing of the English vowels gives the language
a sonorous burr rather pleasing than other
wise.-Cor. Kansas City times.

a still better method, I will adopt it in

After the Mexican Central.

CHICAGO, April 25.-TSpecial Telegram to
THE BEE. B railway news bureau sends
out the following: ''The secret is out as TO
why the Missouriu Pacific has refused TO
cooperate either in any move to advance
rates or to form western railroad associations.
Nothing confrmatory has been or probably
will be heard from Gould himself but little
by little enough facts have come out to con-
vince Chicago railroad men that Gould is
after the Mexican Central road. Gould has
now been in Mexico for over month. he
has gone over every mile of the Mexican Cen
trail road and knows its physical features
and the resources from which
it draws its earnings as well
as he does those of the Missouri
Pacific. During all this time and for some
time before the Missouri Pacific has acted in
way perfectly incomprehensiblc to its com
petitors. Without giving any reason it has
repeatedly overridden the Trans Missouri as
sociation rules and refused or more often en-
tirely ignored any request to ION IN raising
rates or forming an association. 1t has like
wise never given publicly any reason for eX-
tending the passenger dcmolilization to Den
yer. Recently almost every member of the
old Western States Passenger association has
written in vain for the Missouri Paciiic's rca-
sons for refusing to aid in forming the asso-
citation. The whole thing is explained when 1t
is known that several SyndlcatcS nave
been negotiating with the Mexican Central
people and that Gould wished to scare off
speculative capital until he had chance TO
see whether the plum was worth the picking.
His Investigations are said to have been sat
isfactory and the deal for the transfer for
the Mexican Central to the Missouri Pacific
completed.
This will cut the Atchison entirely of from
Mexican traffic. as the Missouri Pacific will
refuse to pro rate at Ell Paso as the Atchison
has at Kansas City.
To colroborate the above Chairman Walker
of the Interstate Commerce Railway associa-
tion and President Gable of the Rock Island
returned today from New York and both
were encouraged over the outlook, while
nothing appears on the surface to indicate
there is amy move to combine for the purpose
of re-estabishing the old rates. 1t is known,
however, that Gould telegraphcd to Chicago
today proposing conditions for general set
tlemont but after close conference between
Walker and Gable and President Miller of
the st. Paul each of them was as mum as an
OvGtnr
