NEW APPOINTMENTS
TO BE MADE BY THE NEW CITY
COUNCIL.
Boss SIckels working for Ets man
for City Surveyor. The
Police Officers.

/ One OF the interesting issues of the new
city council will be the appointment of po-
lice officers. The ouly person mentioned
for the office Of city marshal other than
George Savidge is James Chambers. But
this office does not appear to occasion as
much interest as that of captain of the
night police. While this is generally dis
cretionary with the city marshal, the coun-
Gil also takes hand in it. To this Office
William Andrews, the present captain, may
be reappointed. 1t is said, however, that
Officer Shazer, Frank Snyder and ex-Of-
ficer DWyer are also candidates. Police
Justice McReynolds wants to be chief of
police, but failing in this he is willing to
accept the night captaincy. Last year he
favored two men for that office, each of
whom will endeavor to make it lively for
him this time. To strengthen his position
with the council he is said to have worked
both for Murphy and Talcott on election
day
When McReynolds first entered the Of
hce OF police Justice, he found the business
quite lucrative, but now complains be-
cause he does not get full proportion of
the cases for trial. For this reason quite a
little friction has been occasioned be-
tween himself and some of the police force
but the latter are at liberty to take their
cases to either Judges Rathbun or Mercy
nolds. They claim that McReynolds is too
lenlent with the prisoners, in some cases
going even SO far as to render Judgment
before trial.
For the Office of city surveyor, it is said
that Mlllard Lemon, who would not be
bulldozed by Boss Sickels is to be replaced
by A. j. Gillis, who figured SO prominently
in the second ward convention recently
who was questioned as to his citizenship.
Gillis contends that he has been in tie
state year. Others deny it.
For street commissioner, George Messe-
gees name will again be brought before the
council, together with thar Of e. II James,
of the second ward, and William Cullen.
The names of Attorneys Phil. Skillman,
Fitch, and Crawford, are mentioned in
connection with the office of city attorney.
Mr. Skillman was mayor of a town in
South Dakota number of years, has been
here nearly two years and is well posted in
municipal affairs
Arthur Callow is likely to bereappointed
city clerk
From now on till the middle of January,
the councilmen will be beseiged with ap-
pllcants for this that and tile other office.
The new councilmen will be sworn in on
January II.

ciple of "No Compromise" in Christian
life, taking Daniel as an example. The re-
mainder Of the meeting was given UP to

ters. A YokefelloWs band, composed of

cession, carrying flags and banners. At
the house royal time was spent, and
when the hour Of noon arrived the guests
were ushered into the dining room, where
they We're comforted by table SO heavily
laden with tempting yiands that the legs
looked unsteady
Mrs. and Mrs. Oliver, parents of the
groom, had neglected nothing for the en-
Joyment Of the occasion, and when train
time arrived there was singing, shouting
and cheering enough to crack the big fir
trees along the roadway. The party
reached Olympia at 20 last evening.

"THE CHURCH NEWS"
A Journal of Current Information on
the Churches.

The first number ofthe church News, a
bright newsy and well edited octave made
its appearance on Saturday, and yesterday
found its way into all places of worship in
the city. The paper is brim full Of church
news Of local interest, as its name indi-
Gates, and chronicles all the current events
in connection with every denomination III
Olympia. Its advertising patronage looks
encouraging, and its superiority in every
direction ought to carry it into many
households.
The Church News is edited by Albert
Sidney Gregg, the general secretary of the
\, M. g. A., whose efficient work is being
felt among. the young men Of Olympia
He is thorough newspaper man, and
promises to keep this worthy venture on
the advance. The paper is published
semi-monthly on the second and fourth
Saturdays, by the Chrisman Sargent com
pany. The subscription rate is 81 per year
in advance. THE TRIBUNE commends the
Church News TO the public, as a paper
worthy Of success and liberal patronage.

A False Alarm at the Thenter.

A mischieyous bank clerk played an EN-
barrassing trick on prominent Main
street grocer of Olympia, who attended the
theater on Saturday evening. The clerk
secured an alarm clock encased in neat
wooden box, the box being nicely wrapped
and tied, The alarm had been wound up
for $50 O'Clock. AS arranged. at 9:25, d
friend tapped the clerk on the shoulder,
inviting him out. "Will you hold this cne
moment, for me' asked the clerk, of the
grocer. The latter did SO cheerfulIy, while
the clerk and his pal took up position be-
hind the parquet to see the fun. But a
few moments passed before sthe hands of
the alarm got around to $3.50, and there
was continuous ring of the bell for nearly
a minute and half. The embarrassed
grocer looked at the package and thought
he was holding some internal machine. He
turned sky blue and tea green at the same
time while every person in the audience
lost interest in the play and turned their
eyes on the unfortunate man. Even the
factors" forgot their parts for the moments
and thought some body was ringing a
chestnut bell. When the alarm stopped
the grocer breathed a sigh ofrelief, coupled
with evil thought and threw the box on
the adjoining seat

time and attention in assisting the trustees
Of the state reform school at Chehalis to
open that institution, is home from visit

+. +. WilIlamson,s Grocery.

Frank F. Williamson, the grocer at the
southwest cornerof Fifth and Main streets,
has purchased splendid stock Of groceries
which it would do well for the people of
Olympia to look at before purchasing else
where. All sorts of the best goods for the
holidays are on hand at the lowest prices,
either wholesale or retail. This grocery is
an old established house. Full weight and
good goods can always be secured and Gus
toners will be promptly waited on. See

Senator's Allen and Squire.

A dispatch from Washington shows that
through want Of diplomacy our two sena-
tors at Washington are losing influence.
1t says both Allen and Squire will fail of
the appropriations committee. The fact
hat both were candidates made it easy to
turn them down. as the senators said they
did not want to decide between them and
took an outside man. Allen can be chair
man of the select committee on Indian dep
radat!ons, but there is very little for that
committee to do this season.

The seryicee Of song at the Presbyterian
church brought out a large congregation,
rendering it impossible for many to secure
seats. The singing was excellent, every
body joining heartily in the many beauti-

opportunity to appreciate the superior
ability Of the singer who, with Mrs. Law
renee, form valuable addition to Tie

Supreme COurt Work

Colonel I. v. Eddy, Of Olympia, said to
a Seattle reporter; ''The work of the su-
preme court is growing constantly, and
though the Judges have been and still are
working as hard as they can in the hope Of
keeping up with it, it is increasing so rap
idly that they have almost given up that
hope. Still, they are not yet far behind.

THAT BLOODY Dead.


BosToN, Dec. 14.-In an interview to-
night Mrs. Norcross said that the letter
found in her sons desk addressed to her
removed from the minds of herself and
husband all doubts that Henry, her son,
was the man who threw the bomb at
Russell Sage.
The opening sentence of the letter was
II go to New York to get $1,250,O00. If /
She refused to diyulge the further con
tents of the letter but finally said: ''He
was insane and made martyr of himself
in the interest Of his inventions and the

The genial Captain Doane was at one
time the only night watchman in Olympia,
The boys had good times in those days.
Some rascal would entice the old captain
to one end Of the city while they aroused
the populace by firing cannon at the
other. But the guardian of the peace DIDN'T
have SO much to carry in those days and
got around pretty lively.

Was the Last Election Legal?

Edltor Tribune:
What is the matter with the city attor-
ney? The bond election, which cost the
city considerable, resulted in a fzzle, and
now the last city election is questioned
through the failure Of the city attorney to
have the ballots printed in accordance with
the amended election law of the last legis-
lature relative to the printing and distrlbu-
ton Of ballots. See page 2cO, of the ses-
sion laws Of 1891. Why, oh, why can't we
have things done legally at the state capi.
tai? The name of candidates on the bal
lots cast at the last election were not
grouped together according to party
names or names of petitioners, as required
by law, but were alphabetically arranged,
according to the old law. Was it legal?

[While the ballots were not printed in
accordance with the amended law, we
hardly think the expressed will of the peo-
pie would be set aside on that account

IT LOOKS LIKE WAR
CHILE is SAUCY AND WILL GIVE
NO SATISFACTION.
An Ugly Look of Affairs-A Sfgnff.
tcant Dispatch from Min
tster Egan.

| SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 14.--A Washington
special says: The Chilean imbroglio bears
an ugly look and is giving the administra-
ton more uneasiness than the president or
his advisers are likely to admit. The coun-
try has been lulled into fancies Of peace
by the assurances of Minister Montt that
Chile did not want war and that Justice
would be done in the examination into the
Baltimore affair, and therefore was not pre-
pared for dispatch showing that the Chill
cans were preparing to work themselves
up into paroxysm offrenzy, which would
give them the required impetus to do some
thing desperate. It is evident they are
bent on returning another impudent answer
to the claims of the United States, and
that answer will come in few days, unless
Minister Montt, who is a cool headed man
and appreciates fully the power of this
country both in peace and war, succeeds in
turning aside the
TORRENT OF BoMBAsT,
His countrymen are evidently ready to
let loose. There is no doubt Of the truth
fulness of the report that on Saturday Sec
retary Blaine received a dispatch from
Consul McCreery, stating that the ugly
feeling against Americans was again crop
ping out in Chile and that trouble of Sc
rious nature might occur. About the same
time there came long cablcgram from
minister Egan, which was hastily deci
phered and at once placed in the hands of
the president. This was to the eff
feet that the finding of the court of
inquiry into the bloody Baltimore massacre
would probably oppose the claims Of the
United States, and might probably be
made the basis of saucy and unsatisfac-
tory note to Secretary Blaine, The minis
ter thought the government should be ad-
vised of this condition of things in adj
vance. Consul McCreery has special
means of knowing what is transpiring in
Chile government circles, because he is the
only American in the country who can go
where he pleases and when he pleases.
He has lived 50 long in Chile as to be all
most considered Chilean, and his domes-
tic relations with the people where he
lives, as everyone knows, are extremely
close.

answer to one Of these urgent telegrams

posed to waste no time in preparing for
action, and naval men say great anxiety
is expressed to have the Pacific coast
protected as soon as possible. The

Changes Taking Place in China.

The troubles I'm China are increasing
China seems to be on the verge of q
revolution. 1t is the biggest empire in
the worl I today. 1t has more than
300, 900, Q" inhabitants, its walled cities
containin. lore then 500, 900 people.
China conains eighteen provinces,
which are II. lch like our states. 1t has
in addition 10 these, vast territories
such as Manc :Iria, Iii, Mongolia and
Thibet, subord nte to the main EN-
pire, and ruled either by special gov
errors sent out by the emperor or
through commissioners. Siam pays
tribute to China. Corea has for years
been sending an embassy with presents
to Picking, and the whole of the eastern
world was until within a very short
time under these almond eyed, yellow
faced, two legged mortals.
Year by year the bonds between the
outside provinces and China have been
breaking. Little Corea, which has
only about one-thirtieth as many peo-
pie as China, has hoisted the flag of in
dependence. Siam has practically
thrown off the yoke. Burmah has
gone into the hands of the English.
The northern provinces are being
chewed at by Russia bite by bite
