"A SOU WESTER. !"
TERRIFIC WINE AND RAIN STORM
ON THE SOUND.
"A Steady Down Pour, but Not
Much Damage In olympia
The wires ALI Down.

Ehe WIRES ALI Down
A regular Southwestern prevailed today,
making travel on the water dangerous and
on land uncomfortable. Those whom
necessity compelled to be on the street
were literally drenched. and more rain fell
than almost in any one day for years. Yes
terday opened cold and clear, but about 6
O'Clock the wind commenced to blow at
high rate, and at 10 a regular storm set in.
From 10 O'Clock last evening it continued
to pour steadily, and up to 8 O'clock today
LAG Of an inch of rain fell. The wind
continued to blow at the rate of 28 miles
an hour, varying from south to south
west. In the upper end of the bay
just off of the terminal grounds, the waves
beat around at a lively rate, forming regu-
lar white caps Of no small proportions.
AT Buffers Cove the sea beat fercely,
making it dangerous for the small ctaft.
In fact the storm was so severe that the
steamer Willie was unable to make her
regular trip to Shelton. Floats, which were
anchored at the foot of Main, Washington
and Franklin streets were torn from their
moorings, and in some instances were
hoated away. Wires went down in all di-
rections, and for while, telegraphic COM
munication was cut off.
Throughout the city, signs, trees and
other objects were blown down. Murphys
circus boards on the Westside bridge were
blown into the water and washed away,
umbrellas were of no avail, and the wind
swept everything in its way.

A petition addressed to his excellency,
Governor Elisha P. Ferry, is being circu-
lated by the members Of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union Of Seattle,
asking the pardon Of Charles r. Hammond,
now under sentence to q term in the peni-

reasons set forth are that Hammond mas

his health is failing and his family are in
want as a result of his continued imprison-
ment. Hammond was sentenced nearly a
year ago. but chose to remain in the county
jail while his case was pending in the SUI
preme court Of the state. That tribunal

Rev. Il. J. Lamont's Lecture.

Rev. J. T.. Lamont Of the Presbyterian
church delivered the second Of a series Of
lectures last Sunday evening, on some
curious and mooted points in the book of
Genesis. The reverend gentleman aptIy
blends pure theology and critical science
in these lectures, and it would be well for
seekers after truth to hear the remaining
discourses. There is something refres hing
in the occasional departure from the rules
of clerical doctrine into further fields of
speculative discussion.

WHAT MR.. MccoMAS KNOWS.
He Tells What He Saw in the Wild
and Woolly West.

Ex-Congressman Louis 4. Nc
Comas. who has been travelling for
some time in the Yellowstone and
Puget Sound regions in the West,
was interviewed in Washington by
the correspondent of the Baltimore
American He said he never saw
such prosperity, as displayed by the
farmers everywhere, as he did on
this trip. The wonderful distribu-
ton of rain over the country this
spring has acted like magic on fruit,
gram, corn, hay and vegetables.
He says the farmer just at present
is too busy getting in his crops and
thinking of the money he will make
to worry about politics.
"There is, however, one thing |
noticed" said Mr.. McComas, "and
that was the good effect of Presi-
dent IIarrison's Western trip. [
went over a great deal of the cOun-
try he did, and saw the result. The
people out West are getting stronger
and stronger for the administration.
They have seen the President in his
true light by personal contact, and
it was good for both. They are re-
alizing that the administration is
clean for it has been remarkably
free from scandal, compared with
Cleyeland,s; it is strong and vigor-
Gus, too. The people are going
back to the Republican party, for
they see big crops and are satisfied
with Mckinley prices. The wage
earners' tariff is growing on them,
and they now see its good and are
satisfied. | think the people of the
West are for Harrison. Blaine is
strong, and you hear a great deal of
him, but the impression seems to be
strong throughout the West with
the people that Mr.. Blaine is for
the administration and loyal to the
President. 1t is certain that the
administration is growing stronger
day by day throughout the great
Northwest. .
Mr.. McComas spoke most hope
fully of the Republican prospects in
Maryland. Although he has been
away for months, still he sad he
thought that the Farmer-Reoubli-
can candidate to be nominated was
a strong man and had an excellent
chance forvictory. "No," said he,
Il could not have accepted the NOM
nation for governor had it been
rendered me. My private business
will need all my attention this year,
but | am going to do all / can to
help my party to victory this fall. "

We were surprised last week to
learn that Victoria Chadderton, a
girl twelve or thirteen years of age,
who had been adopted in the home
of William Chadderton, became
dissatisfied with her situation, and
without any farewell ceremonies,
left home after taking d good sup
Iply of money from Mr.. Chadder-
toms pocket book. 1t is the sup
position that she went to Washing
ton, d. c. Victoria has left good
home, for as far as the writer can
learn she was treated kindly by the
family she has forsaken. Mr.. Chad
derton has finished building fine
house which he has costly furnished,
making his home verypleasant and
attractive. We believe Victoria has
made a sad mistake in leaving her
home with the hope of lettering
her condition among strangers who
will be unsympathetic and perhaps
cruel, for we do not believe she will
find better home for herself than
the one she has so unwisely deserted.

so honorable an organization.
