While Governor welflsy is in Wash ingten working fer ArizonA's interests, democratic papers in this territory con
 tinue to keep ur their tirade of abuse
 against him. The fhsnix Gazette is particularly veneaess in its attacks on him, and few other democratio papers echs it's abuse. The latest, and one of
 the most malicious and false charges
 made against him is that hs nsligned
 General Crock before thc authorities at
 Washington. We have read Governor
 welfiey's interview with tho Washing
 ton Post, on the subject oi the proposed
 removal of the Apsehes, in full, as 1t
 appe srsd in that paper. We have
 also read his argument sefsre a con
 gressionsi committee, As telegraphed
 by the associated press, ssd in beth
 cases ke had only words of praise ter
 the bravery of General Crook, and ths
 services he performed for Arizena ia
 riddisg it of Apachss. He differs frsn Crock in regard to the removal sf Ge- roniro and bis cu.-threats frsm Flor iia, and simply said in reference ts it, that he though. the brave cid Indian warrior was mistaken in his proposed policy. New many friends there are of General Greek in the territory who think the sene wsyi A man can be q friend of another and still not think as he does on every subject. From all that hss csme under our observation on .his subject, Governor Wslflsy has referred to General Creok only ia terms of respect and admiration for his in- valuasls services to the territory. Why then this abuse heapsd upon him sim ply becsuse he does not agree with
 hizs in question st public policyf ! It only shows the unfair spirit of the
 paper rssertiag ts suck malicious tactics.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
Corporation Counsel Submits Two Opin-
ions-Improvement Matters.

Mdttclss
The board of public works at its meeting yes
terday afternoon transacted the small amount of
business before 1t in few minutes.
Two opinions were sent to the board from the
corporation counsel i'll response to its re-
quest. One was in reference to COM
plant OF property owners of water
from the street draining into Easements.
Judge Jacobs maintained that the city was not
responsible for the seepage or drainage of sur
face water into private property, unless the
sewers were defective.
The other opinion of the counsellor was in re-
gard to the powers OF the board as the purchas41
ing agent OF the city. 1t was his opinion that
the city should give the preference to local
dealers, price and quality being equal, although
that was a matter that the board had right to
determine itself. 1t had no right to make pur-
chases without first advertising for bids. The
it desired, and was entitled to prescribe such
regulations as it deemed best in the purchases
for the city.
The secretary was instructed to notify the
Mechanics mill that the street and sewer de-
partment will require certain amount of lum-
ber and that if it cannot deliver the material it
is needed, the contract for supplying 1t will be
reseinded.
The building superintendent was instructed
to make some needed repairs and alterations at
the pump house on Lake Washington.
Merchants on South Third, between Yesler
avenue and Washington street, submitted Pc
tition for the planking of that thoroughfare. 1t
was referred to the street commissioner, was
a request from Washington street property
owner 10 have that thoroughfare repaired near
Third street.

AN ELDER wITHDRAws.
Mr.. McKilligan Objects to Proceedings
OF Second PRESBYTERIAN Church.

Mr. McKilligan Objects to Proceedings
OF Second Presbyterian Church.
The Second Presbyterian church held an an
nual meeting last evening which did not pas of
very smoothly. The meeting was called by the
pastor, Rev. Benjamin Parsons, in conformity
with the action Of the church at meeting last
February, fixing the annual meeting on the last
Friday OF December. 1t appears that the records
OF the church have been very poorly kept, and
that the status of those acting officers of the
church could not be exactly determined. A part
OF the proposed business of last nights meeting
was the election of two elders. Mr.. J. b. McKil-
ligan, who has been an elder for some time past,
was present and, shortly after the opening OF the
meeting, protested against its continuance, say
ing that 1t was not legal. He refused to enter
into his reasons for the protest, saying that
proposed appealing 1t to the presbytery. A
heated discussion arose, during the course of
which Mr.. Mckilligan was called an 'sobstruc-
uonist by Rev. Mr.. Parsons, who presided Mr..
McKilligan presented a written protest, which
was palced on record. Later Mr.. MeKilligan
stated that he was willing to withdraw his pro-
test and that he intended to withdraw from the
church. The prostest remained on record, how
ever.
After lengthy discussion of technicalities the
meeting finally proceeded to an election of
elders. Mr.. Daniel Stewart was chosen for
term of two years and Mr.. q. c. Anderson for "a
term of three years. Mr.. Lockwood, Mrs. Powell
and Mrs. Josenhantz were elected as members
OF a committee on music. The following were
nominated as officers of the Sunday-school, sub
ject to the action of the school: Mr.. Pagan,
emit; Mr.. Stewart, secretary; Mrs. Bushnell,
treasurer

LAIDLAw WAS NEGLIGENT.
Therefore He Cannot Get Damages From
the City.

John I. Laidlaw, who recently sued the city
Tor 5000 damages and lost the case, endeavored
10 get new trial yesterday in the superior court.
Laidlaw fell through hole in the sidewalk on
south Fifth street on the night of January IA,
which he claims was carelessly and negigently
left open by the city. He was then resident of
Tacoma and was in Seattle on trip, and it was
while going to his hotel that he met with the ac-
ciGent for which be demadns damages.
In ruling upon the motion Judge Stratton said
that Laidlaw had an opportunity for learning OF
this opening in the sidewalk and his failure to
use proper care and caution was contributory
nesiigence-on bis part, and the verdict of the
jury was In accordance with the facts in the
case, hence the motion was denied.
