THE PASSING THRONG.
What the People at the Hotels
Talk About.
ILLINOIS IS FOR cuLLoM.
Eastern Expert Is Examining Washing
ton CoaI-General Stevens on the
New England Farmer.

Hon. D. I. Littler, of Springfield, was at the
Rainier hotel yesterday on his way home from a
trip into the mining regions. He has for years
been conspicuous figure in the state of Illinois.
Ten years or more ago he retired from the active
practice of the law and began to devote his
whole time to his private affairs, but by
that time he had achieved reputation
as one of the ablest and most sue
cessful lawyers in the West. He had
also taken prominent part in Republican poll
ucs, and had held several offices, among them
tnat OF Union Pacific commissioner. AS mem
Der OF the national Republican committee, and
ms leader OF the party in Illinois, he has had
strong influence in national politics. For years
ne has attended every presidential nomination
convention, and he has always gone as an earn
est supporter of some candidate. In speaking
OF 1892, he said yesterday: ~ am for Senator
Cullom for president, and believe be will Sc
cure the support of the Illinois delegation to
the convention. No better candidate can be
found, for he is both able and upright. During
forty years of public life he has been on the
right side, and no scandal has ever touched
him.
'As between Robert Todd Lincoln and Senator
Cullom do not believe Lincoln would be can
didate against Cullom. l met both men in Lon
don this last summer, and know that Senator
Cullom dined with Lincoln, and that there is a
good understanding between them.
Probably Blaine would be the second choice
of Illinois If he is in the field. If Washington
Republicans are for Blaine, I should advise
them TO turn to Cullom in case Blaine is not a
candidate, for think Cullom will win.
"The Democrats of Illinois will probably be
for Senator Palmer"

Company and Getz Bros opposition line, on
which the Haytian Republic is running, wakes
warmer as time rolls by. The latter's passenger
rates are SIS cabin and 81 seerage, and the for
mers regular rates are $40 and $40. Heretofore,
whenever the Haytian happened to be leaving
about the same time one of the
steamship company's boats did, the
steamship company would reduce the
steerage rate TO 80. But yesterday it put the
rate down IL S. and will continue to sell tickets

charged until the Puebla sails Monday evening.

here, is very bitter against the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company for this method of meeting
the reduction, but the latter's representatives
say they have right TO meet the cut in any way
they please, and that they have never attempted
to meet the cut IN cabin rates because there is S.
difference in the accommodations On the boats.

THE SCANDINAVIA coLoRs.
Comment on Floating That Flag at the
Tacoma Expositfou.

The recent furry at Tacoma regarding the
flying of the scandinavian standard from some
of the halyards ON the Northwestern exposition
building at Tacoma has caused no little CON-
ment among the members of the G. A. r., Sons
of Veterans and of the militia at Seattle. A
prominent militiaman said:
'sWhen we remember that s. per cent OF the
Grand Army of the Republic was composed OF
men of foreign birth and great number OF
these were Scandinavians, it seems TO me that
in flying the Scandinavian eolors on the day set
aside by the exposition managers expressly for
our scandinavian citizens was touching cour-
tesy for those of that nativity who pledged their
life in the trial of liberty. And, too, when the
majority of the ScandinaVians coming TO this
country TO make IL their homo have proved
themselves to be sober, industrious and honest
citizens. / believe, though, that on an occasion
like this ON American soil, the stars and stripes
should float 10 tho wind proudly and grandly
above the flags of other countries"

"They are shipping fruit in car loads to St
Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth, an average OF
five cars week to the three points. That mar
ket was formerly supplied from California, but
the difference in time of about two days enables
dealers 10 handle Walla Walla fruit with better
advantage and to give better quality, as Cali
fornia fruit was packed green and Walla Walla
fruit is shipped ripe. Fruit land, which was at
one time of no value has doubled in value in a
few years. Montana, Idaho and Spokane are
also supplied from there"
