JUDGE BURKE'S OPINION.
He Predicts . Wonderful Future To-
ballard.

The prospects before Ballard as thriv-
ing city could not be defined more clearly
by any one than was done by Judge Burke
when he addressed the city council of Bal
lard last Tuesday night. in which he said:
~ our city possesses a most natural site
for manufactures of all kinds. Railroads
are now realizing this fact and are now
applying to come in to do business on legal
terms. Their presence Is necessary to
your growth. With two great transconti-
mental lines coming in here to carry your
products to the markets of the world, your
future success and greatness is assured.
1T was only few years ago that
camped out on the springs just back of
your city The only visible neighbors at
that time were the gigantic frs that
swayed to and fro hundreds of feet over
head. But what change 1t is truly
wonderful to behold the TRANSPORTATION.
As sat by those springs slipping their
refreshing waters and at the same time
taking careful survey of the surrounding
country, I was firm in my conviction that
in the near future this would be great
manufacturing center.
ssAt my earnest solicitation the Seattle,
Lake Shore & Eastern Railroad Company
the pioneer road. knew that at that
time there was no business for the road.
but pointed out the necessity of coming
here and developing this natural manu-
featuring site.
II am one of the men who gave $4,000
10 nut in an electric railway from your
CITY to Seattle, and We intend to further
improve this road and make it one of the
finest in the world l look to the time,
and that. too. inside of ten years. when
this city will be the best manufacturing
city north of San Francisco. Inside of six
months you will have six transcontinental
RAILWAYS seeking ingress 10 your city.
You have a great future, and your destiny
is now in the hands of the people. Be
careful and guide it well is my only advice
TO YOU"
such words from man like Judge Burke
mean much and go 10 strenge hen the
statement that Ballard is the best place
on the Coast to invest. Move there and
hn;Id yourself home and grow up with
the CITY in its prosperity.

McAuiiffe, however, to state that ne broke
the first knuckle of his left hand in the
fourth round, and was incapacitated from

ounce gloves were used.

missed. An upper-cut from Joe fell short, and
tnen DAILY rushed swinging one to his neck
Round 2-Daly clcverly lodged a hard
swing, but caught another in the face Both

the ropes. McAulife was mad, and sending in
his right, smashed DAILY on the nose aud drew

POWERS OF THE COUNCIL.
Limit Within which 1t May Act Towart


remonstrance was presented recently
against granting laundry licenses to China
men by the city council. The council has
been acting under an old ordinance, but
as their powers are limited by the new
charter to regulating by license, but not to
refusing to permit occupations, they refer
RED the matter TO the corporation counsel
for his advice in the matter.
Judge Jacobs has prepared the following
opinion. which will be presented to the
house of delegates at their next meeting:
Certain resolutions adopted by the Knights OF
Labor and transmitted to your honorable body
have been referred to me for an opinion as to
whether the city council has the power TO grant
what seems 70 be prayed for. I say "seems,"
because no petition or other paper accompanies
these resolutions. Now, while the right of Pc
tition 10 a sacred right and highly conservative
OF civil liberty, and should never be abridged,
yet the mere passage OF a series of whereases and
resolutions by body of citizens, no matter how
numerous or respectable, does not necessarily
call for reference on your part or demand a legal
opinion from me.
No matter what our opinions may be of the
effect of the presence here Of the Cinnamon on
our civilization or social policy, we must re-
member that the Cinnamon are here under the
guarantees OF solemn treaty stipulations en-
tered into between our government and the
government OF China. Under these st1pulatfons
they have the right to engage in any useful and
lawful employment in our country, under the
same conditions and regulations AZ are vouch-
safed to other foreigners of the most favored ma
tons. Looking backward and also taking into
consideration the present and our more recent
history, we are satisfied that our government
made a mistake in opening our gates for the in
gress Of the laboring millions OF China. But
the city council of Seattle has no power to cor
rect that mistake, and it would be an expensive
folly for 1t to attempt to do so, for the superior
or federal courts would be sure to remind us by
mandate and ct our expense OF the binding obli-
cations of the supreme law.
It will be readily seen that the logic of these
resolutions and whereases proves too much, and
II carried out to its legitimate results would ex-
clude the Cinnamon from every useful and law
full occupation and business in the country.
The conflict set forth in the present case 10 be-
tween white and Monaghan laundrymen; re-
move that by the legislation asked for and the
conflict will show itself in some other occupa-
ton; remove that, and you have but shuffied the
difficulty. And you may go on until you
have reached the point OF perfect exclusion, and
thus the result would be the notification OF the
guarantees of q treaty by mastery process of
indirect;on. However much we might desire
such result we simply lack the power to ac-
rnvupf}ah

JIM HALLS FIGHTERS.
Their Arrival in P0rtland-What Demp
sey Thinks of Them.

PORTLAND, March 49, Especial. 1.-The
Jim Hall athletic combination arrived on
the Southern Pacinc train this morning.
The day was spent in seeing the sights and
making acquaintance in the sporting fra

pied box in the Marquam Grand.
Jack Dempsey, who has been de-
tanned in the city longer than he
expected, owing to the sickness of his
child, was with Hall and party while
this afternoon. The only thing Jack said
after having met the men is: ssBut don't
they make those fellows big in Australia?
Hall is strapping six-footer, Billy Maber,
the lightweight, is as big as 1, and Abe
Willis, who is supposed to be bantam
weight, is as big as Jack McAuliffe."

SACRAMENTO, March 19.-George Mulhol-

light-weights fought twenty rounds at the
Clunie opera-house tonight. The men

Australian suddenly gave up the fight and
left the ring. He said he was going back
to Australia in the morning and was not
going to fight all night.
All through the fight Morrissey repeat

VIII E AT.


 An article by c. Wood Davis in the May Arena is attracting some attention. MT. Davis attempts to show that the worlds consumption of wheat is rapidly overtak- ing the enormous expansion in its culture which has taken place during the last doz- en years in the United States, Canada, Russia, India, and some of the countries of South America. At the present rate of increase of population in this country and in other countries of the world, he thinks that by 1895 the United States will not only be unable to supply any part of the European demand for wheat, but will not have enough for it's own population even. Such a condition would tend to raise the prices of agricultural products, which would, in turn, raise the prices of other productions because of the increased abili- ty of the farmers to purchase them. MT. Davis sees an increased demand and better prices for all kinds of products in the future because of this beginning of "the golden age of agriculture.'
 Mrs. Davis presents some well arranged figures in support of his view, and wheat "bulls" will be very much pleased with them. But we believe that he is decidedly out of the way in his conclusions. He omits to mention that when it pays better to raise wheat much more will be raised. And it seems to us that he greatly under estimates the productive capacity of this country. Take France, one of the old and thickly settled countries, and also not a large country. France is next to the United States as wheat producing coun- try She can and does grow 375, ,000, ,0OO bushels of wheat to a crop, while the United States grows usually between 400, OOO,000 and 500,000,000 bushels, What could the United States grow if it would pay to do it? At least 1000, ,000, 900 bushels probably Furthermore, in recent years foreign countries have not clamored fol our wheat much, and there are few sign: that they will unless the price is material ly lowered. It is not four years to 1895 If we should make guess against MT Davis it would be that there will be nC wheat famine before 1900, and it may b. | that the world will come to an end then.

NIAKINC CITIZENS.

The committee of the Union League club of New York which is trying to bring about much needed reform in the process of naturalization has made a good start. Its petition tp congress will ask that the "power of conferring citizenship of the United States" be restricted to the federal csurts. It is also proposed to require a longer residence in the United States be- fore granting citizenship, and that "all ap- plications be made in the handwriting of the applicant, who must be able to speak, read and write the English language" A third amendment authorizes any citizen to oppose in open court the granting of citi- zenship to an applicant, or to petition to have any improperly granted certificate set aside; and fourth authorizes any court having jurisdiction to nullify any certificate of naturalization unlawfully or fraudulently obtained.
 Such changes in the law ought to do some good, but perhaps the politicians would find some way to evade any law The present conditions of things is sean dalous. In State court in New York sixty eight citizens were made in consider ably less than an hour, and in another one applicants for final papers were put through in patches of six or eight with the same witnesses swearing to the fitness for citizenship of the whole lot.

Barnum's Joke on pr. ChaPin.

From the New York Times In Barnum's nature, however, there was | everything to admire and little to criticise. His acquaintance with the Rev. Dr. Chapin, the Universalist orator, began when both men were in their prime. It soon ripensd into warm friendship. NIT. Barnum at- tended, whenever in the city, the church of the Divine Paternity, of which Dr. Chap in was pastor, and the clergyman and snowman found time to enjoy each oth- CTS company when either needed relaxa- tion, as Dr. Chapin's liking for s joke equaled the showman's. When one of them got a chance to play a prank on the other, the story went the rounds of their friends
 Dr. Chapin lectured good deal in his best days within limited circuit of New York. It was of him that the story was first told that when some one asked why he bothered with lectures, having a rich par lsh and comfortable home, he replied: ''I lecture for fame, fifty, and my expense" MT. Barnum wanted him to lecture at Bridgeport. It took several years of per suasion before he would consent. When
 
 ranged that the lecturer should make the Barnum home his stopping place during the stay in the Connecticut town.
 Before leaving home on the eventful day NIT. Barnum said to his wife: Business detains me late in the city. I must ask you to receive Dr. Chapin. You will find him Q one great infrmity. He is as deaf as a post; and, like all deaf people, he is very sensitive about his affiiction. Speak loud to him, but on no account appear to let him think that you notice his deafness"
 Arriving in town, Mir. Barnum sought out Dr. Chapin. He informed him that he doubted his ability to return to Bridge port with the doctor, but assured him that all preparation had been made at home for his entertainment. He would find Mrs Barnum at the house to receive him. Then he spun for Dr. Chapin pathetic fairy tale about Mrs. Barnum's deafness, warn ing him that she was exceedingly sensitive about it, and that he would need only to speak loud without appearing to notice that she was deaf
 Dr. Chapin arrived at the Barnum house as had been planned. Mrs. Barnum was waiting to receive him.
 "Dr. Cha-pin-I n-I-be lieve," screamed that good lady in tones like shrill clarionet.
 ''I am delighted to meet Mrs. Bar nun, " reared the pastor in return.
 'You found your way hers easily, I hope" the hostess shrieked, as if the house was on fire.
 ''Mr. Bar-num was kind enough to give me directions" replied the pastor with the voice of a sea captain in storm.
 As the conversation proceeded each seemed to think it necessary to increase the volume of tone for the others benefit When they were both on the point of vo- cal collapse boisterous guffaw from be- hind a pair of curtains revealed the pres ence of the snowman, who was unable any longer to contain himself After laying his deaf trap he had taken an early train back to Bridgeport. and managed to slip unseen into his house, to overhear these exhausting greetings. Dr. Chapin was never able to square off that practical joke.
