WILLIAM T. STEAD.
Noted British journalistic Ishmael-
ties Success.
Bnston CIoha


Boston Globe.
unique character in English public af-
fairs today is William T. Stead north
country nonconformist, with strong re-
ligious tendencies. he got his first news
paper training in provincial journalism,
and finally came to London on the staff of
John Morley, when that gentleman was
editor of the Pail Mall Gazette.
Succeeding him in that position, he made
sensation after sensation, the most notable
of which, the Modern Babylon" business,
finally landed him in Jail. He some time
after this left the paper to hoist his flag in
brand new venture of his own, the Re
Uiew of Reviews.
With college training, great facility
with the pen, much power of organization.
the gift of making friends as well as enc
mics, immense energy, and more than the
audacity which the English have attrib-
uted to the American journalist, he is ever
attempting the thing unheard of in Eng
land, and ever succeeding.
He dashes in where others fear to tread.
He views everything pretty much from the
journalistic standpoint, but no idea is too
big for him to entertain and no project too
startling for him to attempt.
Who else in all England would have set
out TO interview the pope or the emperor
of Russian Only Stead, is the common
remark, could have conceived of such a
publication as the Revie,0 of Reviews, or
could have run it up to the circulation of
100000 copies.
He is, in short, in strength and weak
ness, what is popularity termed a genius.
His intimate knowledge of men and
affairs, and his quick penetration OF
motives, made him for years on the
Pail Mall Gazette one of the shrewdest of
political observers, while his caustic pen
and unceasing activity made him one of
the most terrible of political enemies.
Mr.. Stead's personal workroom is large
and attractive, fitted up in the most con-
venient and luxuriant style. He is a man
OF about AZ, above the medium height,
with plenty of glossy brown hair, full
beard, bright eyes and nervous manner.
manifesting itself most conspicuously in
his striding about the room as he talks to
strangers.

GREAT NORTHERN PASS.

Sfmilkameen River.

Sfmilkameen River.
FAIRHAvEs, July 25.-[Special. IA large
engineering party connected with the
Great Northern is said to be at work in the
mountains near the international bound
airy. Til Sheets, formerly county surveyor
OF this county, and one of the engineers
that located the Stampede pass for the
Northern Pacific, is familiar with the
locality in which the engineering party
above referred to is said to be at work, and
a friend of his in a recent conversation
with PosT-INrELLIGKNcER correspondent
said that Mr.. Sheets regards the boundary
pass as much the best one in the whole
Cascade range between the Columbia and
Fraser rivers. Should that route be chosen
by the Great Northern, the line will prob
ably follow the SImilkameen river from
0sooyoos to the Cascades, and cross the
international boundary two or three times
and then turn slightly to the southward
and come down to the north fork of the
Skagit, and thence down the main river
to a connection with the Fairhaven &
Southern.
On account of the necessity of giving all
of his time and attention to his private
business. and particularly to large mining
enterprises in which he is interested, Mr..
]. F. Wardner has retired from the presi-
dency of the Fairhaven National bank and
has been succeeded by Mr.. A. II. Clarke.
late of Spokane, and for short time a
resident of Seattle. For some time past
Mr.. Clarke has been actively identified
with the management of the bank as Sec
ond vice president. He was prominent in
business circles at Spokane and was presi-
dent of the Board of Trade of that city.
He has large property interests here and
has just completed one of the largest and
most elegant homes in the city, and dur
ing his residence here has established an
excellent reputation here as an enterpris-
ing and progressive citizen and conserva-
tive business man.

NOTES FROM SHELTON.
Small Wreck on the Washington South.
ern-Conductor Injured.

SHELTON, July 25.-[SpeciaI. IA wreck
occurred on the Washington Southern last
evening which resulted in a broken leg
and serious injuries about the head for
the conductor, Andy McPhail. Contrary
to the usual custom and order, the logging
train was backing out after another load
just before O'Clock, which is the time for
the grading crew to come down on a hand
car. The train and car met nesr a curve
and the graders saved themselves by jump
ing. Three logging cars left the track,
and the conductor being on the head car,
received his injuries in the wreck. 1t is
very fortunate that the accident did not
occur on the curve trestle near there.
The Zodiac Club, local literary club, is
going down the bay for a thirty day en-
campment under military rules, this week.
