PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Special Tcle-
gram.-Citizens have contributed
$1,000 of the proposed sum of 5000 to Miss
Regina Rothschild of this city, who will
leave Port Townsend on March Il to race
around the world against Citizen George
Francis Train. who leaves Tacoma on the
same dav. Miss ROthschild will go east and
enGeayOr to circle the globe in less than
sixty DAYS. returning via Yokohama and
Cape Flattery Robert Kerr, general man
ager OF the Canadian Pacific railway, has
tclegraphed that the special train will leave
Vancouver March II, to arrive in New York
five and One-half days later. The French
steamer La Normandie will carry the young
lady to Havre where she will take the
train to Brindisi; thence to Kong Kong on
another French steamer. HOkOha-
ma will be reached three days
after the regular advertised departure
of the Canadian steamer. The company
has decided to postpone the sailing until
the arrival of the Port Townsend girl:
About fourteen days later the steamer will
pass Cape FIattery, where the powerful tug
Tyce, capable of making twenty miles per
hour. will lie in waiting to convey Miss
ROthschild to Port Townsend. The adj
vantage of the young lady III making quick
er time than George Francis Train will be
lost in waiting for the steamer, and the only
hitch will be at Yokohama, which will be
avoided by delaying the steamer Abyssinia
She will have the heavy winds usually en-.
countered over the world at this season Of
the year at her back, and Train will pro-
baby not be able to make connections.
The Canadian Pacific authorities are anx-
ious for the race and promise everything in
their power to beat Train, who will travel
over the Northern Pacific railroad. Miss
Rothschild is scarcely over twenty-one
years old and native of this city. She is
the daughter of the late Baron Rothschild,
prominent pioneer merchant, and is an
exceedingly handsome and popular young
lady. The liveliest interest is manifested
by the Port Townsend citizens, and the
race promises to be an exciting event.

ing Upon SaIisbury's Health.
LONDON, Special-It is conceded on all
sides that the chances of a reconstruction
of the cabinet, and the consequent dissolu-
ton of parliament, have been largely in
reased by the continued illness of Lord
Salisbury. The discussion this evening
seems to be wholly as to whether
Lord Salisbury is failing" There are
rumors on one side which, if true, would
fore Easter. Denials of general character
only are heard on the other side. The real
fact is believed to be that Lord Salisbury's
attack of influenza was far more severe than
was admitted at the time, and that now he
is being surrounded by precautions due less
to his actual state of health than to very
natural concern regarding him in his own
home.

We extend to the city of Chicago our hearty

New York has been showed under, but we will
not wag our tongue in censure. On
the contrary we take our medicine
through smiling lips. and, with large good
humor, bury our local disappointment in the
national good will. Perhaps we may be allowed
to saw however, without seeming too ungra-
cious, that our love for Tom Platt is not of
that confding nature which expes sus-
picion The "Me, too" element in this
problem has been it's poison.
We "dare the event to the teeth" and make bold
to say that, while Platt has cunningly achieved
his own will and blocked the will of the people,
he has done us so i'll a service that we shall re-
pay the deed when opportunity offers. Such
wanton betrayal is only equaled by the
profound hypocrisy with which it was ac-
complished He may sell our rights for his own
and his partys advantage, but the people have
good memories, and when they grasp "the
