After the Smugglers.

VICTORIA, B. G. Dec, 6th.-A United
States detective came over Yesterday to
search for young man suspected to be
engaged in the opium smuggling bust
ness carried on in the steamer Olym-
phian. kilograms from Seattle had
been sent, but the man refused to bite.
The detective who came tried all possible
arts to get the man aboard a Sound
steamer, but could not do it. So he
tried to drug the suspected party with
the intention to get him away. The
police interfered, and the detective went
home without his game. The young
fellow suspected belongs to the Olym-
plans crew, but left just before the
trip when the late arrests were made.
He is said to be we'll connected in
Seattle.

Letter from Washington. D. C.

Special Correspondent to the HERALD.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9, 1890.-Senator
Cullom has introduced bill for the re-
duction of letter postage to one cent,
and it has been referred to the Senate
committee on Postofices and Post Roads.
This is no buncomb measure; the sem
ator Is in earnest and he proposes, if it
be possible, to have the bill voted upon
at the present session, and owing to the
rapidly growing public sentiment in
favor of one cent letter postage there is
little doubt of its passage, if it is voted
upon.
The know-it-aIl gentlemen who have
for several months been telling the coun-
Try that the federal election bill was
dead, must have, experienced some cha
grin when the republican senators voted
solidly to take up this bill and to con-
tinue its consideration to the exclusion
of all other business CATER the "morn-
ing hour } until it is disposed of. Sen
ator Hoar says he is confident that the
bill will finally pass before the first of
January, but that it will be the cause of
one of the sharpest and most determined
struggles ever waged in congress. He
hopes that the democrats will see the
wisdom of acquiescing without resorting
to tilibustering. But there is little
probability that such will be the case.
The bill will never be passed by the
Senate until the rules Of that body are
changed SO as to limit debate, and that
change, which can only be made by the
united and persistent efforts of the re-
publican majority, will be opposed by all
the parliamentary methods known to the
democratic minority. One scheme of
the democrats has already been made
public, whereby they hope to defeat the
election bill. 1t is to offer as a substi-
tute for all that portion of the bill after
the enacting clause, bill for the free
coinage of silver.
There are several reasons, however,
why this scheme is almost certain to fail.
The principal of which is the idea that
has in some way become general around
the capitol, that the president will veto
free coinage bill if congress passes one
This idea of veto has not deferred
Senators Plumb and Teller and number
of representatives from introducing bills
providing for the free coinage of silver,
and Mr.. Teller said to-day that he felt
perfectly confident that some one of
these bills will be passed by the Senate

JAY Gould at the Helm.

New YORK, Dec. 7th.-Spectators
thronged the lobby of the Windsor hotel
this afternoon to discuss the financial
situation. Mr.. Gould said things were
not as bad as they looked. He attributed
the existing trouble principally to the
scare, for which no reason can be assign
ed. Preliminary arrangements for the
Western railroad agreement are practic-
ally completed. The meeting for per
letting the agreement will be held at
he house Of J. Pierpon Morgan a week
rom today. President Huntington, OF
he Southern Pacific, signed the agree
nent and the executive committee of the
Rock Island signifed it's occurrence
The Burlington, Quincy & Alton are the
My roads which have not formally an
ounced their willingness to join the ar
angement.
1.-THE agreement will go through with
ut hitch" said Jay Gould tonight
Once adopted, it will not be question
asking dissenting roads to join, but
neither they will be permitted to ioin,
here will be no receiver for the Union
acifc. The road has an income of 81
10000 month and good times. The
LEGATIONS give no trouble.
''The floating debt will be taken care

at the present session. Of the action of
the House he is not SO confident. There
are radical differences in these bills.
For instance, Senator Plumb's bill pro-
vides for double unit of value a dollar
of 412a grains standard silver or 254
grains of gold) of full legal tender
quality, while Senator Teller's bill fixes
the weight Of the silver dollar at 400
grains of standard silver, and contains
no further addition to existing law for
the coinage of bullion received at the
minis.
Senator ingalls, has introduced a joint
resolution to appropriate a sum of
money to purchase seeds to be distrib-
utee gratis among the citizens of Kansas
and Nebraska suffering from the effects
of the recent drought.
Senator Henderson has presented a
petition which offers the most practic-
able solution of the In dian problem
yet presented. 1t asks that the Indians
be deprived of their horses and that the
government issue to them in lieu thereof
working oxen. Speaking of this matter
Senator Henderson said: San Indian
cannot fight very much if mounted upon
an OK, but he can pillow all he wants to.
We have been giving these Indians
ponies for farm work, but they have
never used them except as saddle ami
mails. The disarmament and dismount-
ing of the fractions tribes is necessary
and should be accomplished at once.
AID Indian believes his highest mission
to be the killing of the fellow being
white man preferred. A resolution has
been adopted by the Senate calling up
on the secretary OF war for information
as to what steps have been taken
towards disarming the Indians
Secretary Blaine, in company with
the Brazilian naval officers who have
been visiting Washington, occupied the
diplomatic galleries of the House and
Senate for an hour or two on Tuesday.
The presidents message made Won
derful impression upon Congress, not
withstanding it contained no new rec
concentrations. 1t dealt with the politi-
cal situation in a dignifed straightfor-
ward manner that could not fail to COM
mand the respect Of friend and foe alike,
and it has solidifed the republicans in
congress as nothing else could have done
in so short time.
the House got right down to work
in a businesslike way that promises well
for the session, although there is not a
republican quorum present. 1t passed
the international copyright bill, al
though day was wasted by its oppo-
nents in filibustering against it. Work
on the appropriation bills is being
rapidly pushed, and one of them-pen-
sions-has already been reported from
committee. The census committee is
working hard to perfect the apportion-
ment bill, which is certain to become
law at this session, democratic reports
to the contrary Notwithstanding.

Annexation of Hawaii,

WASHINGTON CITY, Dec. lit is
rumored here that the visit Of King
Kalakaua to the United Statas has a
more important object for that potentate
than mere recreation. 1t is reported
that he has sounded public opinion in
Hawaii on the subject of annexation to
the United States, and that the fees au-
thorized to make a proposition to our
state department to effect that purpose.
Those who are familiar with the affairs OF
the island kingdom point to the fact
that under the operation of the McKin-
ley bill, which authorizes the payment
of bounty for sugar of home production
of 2 cents pound. Hawaiian planters
would receive about $5,00O,000 a year
more for their sugar crop if they become
citizens of the United States. The
quantity of sugar imported into the
United States from Hawaii in 1889 was
243, 342,683, pounds, and as the product
is increasing steadily at the rate of
about 20,000,000 pounds a year, it will
be seen that this estimate is well within
the mark. It is believed here that the
administration will receive Kalakaua's
overturns with favor. Blaine on repeat
ed occasions has expressed the opinion
that a sound policy demands that the
United States should control the Hawa-
iian islands, and it is believed that he
will therefore eagerly back any move
ment which has for its object their &C
QUESTION on favorable terms. The atti-
tude of both parties in congress on
various occasions when reciprocity
treaties with the islands were before
them shows also that motives of state
policy influenced them more largely than
mere revenue consideration.
1t will be urged by the ADVOCATES of
annexation that the transfer would give
to this country sole control of valuable
trade which now is divided with Eu-
ropean manufacturing nations. In the
event of Hawaii coming under our flag
our tariff laws would go into operation
there, and of course give US an advantage
which a foreign nation could scarcely
overcome. 1t is not known what de-
mands Kalakaua will make, but the
general belief is that they will not be
excessive. His position on the islands
has been precarious one for some time
past, and his best friends and most pru-
dent advisers have no doubt been able to
make him perceive that he might lose
by revolutionary uprising what he
might part with for valuable consider
alton. In other words, it is expected
that a tidy sum down and a moderate
pension will satisfy Kalakaua's demands.
Other persons in interest will be as
easily satisfied. AS for the natives, it is
said that they have long since ceased to
have any strong sentiment in favor of
autonomy, and that the prospective prof
its which would result from union with
the United States would prove too great
temptation for them to resist.

night had settled over the city. Only q
few words were used in telling the news.
They were:
There has been another killing up

Sheriff Martin received a telegram
which told briefly OF the tragedy. His in
formation was that John Knapp, aranch-
man, had killed Albert LEIPZIG, a cowboy,
on lower Horse creek, near the Nebraska
line at . o'clock Monday afternoon.
Knapp fed to the west.
The sheriff sent Deputy Thomasson
from this place and then by wiring and
telephoning succeeded In getting no less
than ten northern men after the muir

tiers and range workers of the affair and

manner of the murder. Ranchmen in
from that section could tell but little of
Knapp or LEIPZIG and were startled by
the news.
As the present county board will not
allow the maintenance of deputies in the
north, capture of the killer is rendered ex-
tremely difficult, but Sheriff Martin is ex-
ertins himself to this end and will likely
succeed.
