Their Little Scheme Failed to Work

A petty attempt at economy on the part
of two women shoppers failed of success
in New York restaurant the other day.
One of the pair ordered cup of tea, and
on tasting it said it was too strong and
asked for a cup of hot water. The other
said she wanted nothing, but when the
hot water arrived the shoppers mixed it
with the tea and each drank cup. Their
glee was great until the waiter gave them
a check, on which the water was charged
for at nearly double the price of the tea.

A STRANGE CONTRAST.
THE NAVAL AUTHORITIES PECU-
LIAR TACTICS.
Diligence in Sending Out Orders Offset by
Hardness in the Execution Thereof
The Charleston's Wild Goose Chase.

WASHINGTON, May 11.-Secretary Ira
cy this afternoon sent out word that he
had nothing to say about the Chilean
vessel Itata, or the Charleston. Other
officials ip the naval department are
equally reticent. The official mind Of
the department is evidently in dread
that possible unguarded admission to
a reporter might result in the disclosure
of the plan of campaign, in which the
entire available naval force in the Pa
ciic is arraying against steamer whose
warlike character has not yet been
demonstrated. Certainly the govern
ment appears to be making extraordi-
nary efforts to recapture the Itata, for
in addition to cabling Admirals Brown
and McCann to head off the runaway
before she reaches Chilean waters, it is
understood that instructions have been
sent to the United States consular Off
GERS at all points between California and
Chile, where the Itata could reach, to
promptly advise the naval officers of
her movements if she is sighted.
STRANGE CONTRAST.
In strange contrast to this exhibition
of zeal, is the course of the Charleston
which is in chase of the runaway. This
vessel sailed from San Francisco early
Saturday morning, bound south. She
is an eighteen-knot vessel, and last night
should have been $50 miles down the
coast, or near Cape San Lucas, where
the Chilean insurgent warship Esme-
ralda is supposed to be lying in wait for
the Itata. But instead of coursing this
distance, the Charleston got about hall
wav and then went to anchor over night.
Later advices show that she was last
seen lust above the Mexican boundary
line. Such officers as have an opinion
they feel free to express, say the Charles
toms movements can be explained in
two ways; either the department be-
the coast of California, or it has no in.
tention of seizing the vessel unless her
presence is made unpleasantly noticeable
within easy reach.
A QUESTION OF DIPLOMACY.
The motive for such an attitude by
the government, as indicated in the last
theory, is in brief that it might not be
good diplomacy for the United States to
60 too far in the direction of hostility
towards the Chilean Insurgents. The
duties devolving upon friendly govern
ment in cases such as these have never
been finally and clearly enunciated by
the authorities in international law, but
it can be safely assumed that in the op-
erations of the United States marshal in
seizing the Itata and the Robert and
Minnie, and in the pursuit of the Itata,
as long as she was in United States
waters, our government has already
shown what the Geneva arbitration in
the Alabama case has declared to be
due diligence.

CANADA AND RECIPROCITY.


The Question OF Annexation Not Ser

DR.. I. NJ. Wildwood, of Winnipeg, is at
the Diller hotel. DR.. Wildwood, who is
one Of the FIVE government school inspec-
tors of Manitoba, is now making tour OF
the Coast, visiting the schools and compar-
ing them with those of his own country.
II have not set seen your Seattle schools, !"
said he yesterday, .'but / find those of Ia
coma in excellent condition. They are UNI

Mr.. Gauit.
'sin Manitoba the schools are under five

the school superintendent. Each has
district to himself. mine lying west of
Winnipeg Some 100 teachers are under
my supervision.
'.How about the talk OF annexation2
Well, really. the question OF annexation is
not being seriously considered in our pol
itics at present. and is hardly worth talk
ing about Mt this stage Of the proceedings.
"We are far more Interested in recipro-
city. Your country lies for 1900 miles
along our borders, and our most natural
place of trade is with the United States.
But owing to the tariff laws we do little
trading with you, compared with what we
might do. We buy most of our manufac-
lures OF England. because England admits
our goods duty free and We thus pay in
our products for what we buy. You know
that if the tariff laws of the United States
keep you from buying of us We cannot
keep purchasing your manufactures; for
country always trades where it can find q
market for its own products.
Both of our parties, the Liberals and
the Conservatives are for reciprocity in
one form or another. The Liberals are
supposed to favor free trade, and the Con-
seryatives protection; but there is not
much difference between them, for they
both want to levy tariff for a revenue"

A Lumber Dealer Talks OF Business II
Two States.

Two States.
Mr.. Edward L. Davis, of Muskegon,

are at the Snoqualmie hotel. The latter
has come here to settle, but Mr. Davis,
who is lumber dealer, and a correspond
ent Of the Northwestern Lumbcrn.an, is
merely looking over the country. 1.-THE
lumber business in Michigan" said he
yesterday, sis slowly but surely coming to
an end. There is q good deal of timber yet
left in spite of the fact that the bulk of it is
now gone, and believe the Michigan pine
will hold ont for fifteen or twenty years
yet, although the supply will steadily grow
less. The hard woods, which are not of so
much importance in the trade, will not,
think, be gone for fifty years.
You have more timber here than Mich
igan ever had. and then. too, it is of a bet
ter quality. But the great trouble now is
the want Of a market. The high freight
rates keep you from shipping east by rail
anything except the special products that
cannot be produced in the East
'As shipping is conducted at present
you are good way, many thousands of
miles from Asia, Australia and South
America. and still further from Europe.
For these reasons the lumber business in

while he was in the Jail yard, and very
soon had the iron bar taken out of the

added to Pierce county In order that the
city of Tacoma may control the whole OF
her water front. The board came out hat
footed against the proposition, and teie-
graphed TO Senator Forrest requesting him 2
to vigorously oppose the measure, and, II
possible, defeat it.
Auditor Frank A. Twichell, who dis
cussed the question with the board, said
last evening: Senator Forrest was re-
quested to oppose any measure tending to
divide, or take away any portion Of, King
county for the benefit of Pierce, because 1t
is the opinion Of the commissioners that 1t
is only a scheme on the part of Pierce
county to get title-just enough to get o
wedge inland then they will make fight
to split off the whole southern end of King
county. Ifwegive them an inch they
will take mile. This question has been
passed upon and vigorously opposed twice
before by this board Of commissioners,
and in each case the board has gone to the
trouble and expense to obtain the senti-
ment of the people in the strip affected,
and they find that nine-tenths of them are
unqualificdly opposed to being taken from
King county and united to Pierce. The
commissioners would consent to allow
county-enough to allow Tacoma to con-
troll her harbor-but she is not satisfied
with this. She is unreasonable and wants
the whole cheese"
The board Is at present figuring on hav-
ing survey and plat made Of school land
section Is, township "A, south of range
east, and section Is, township "a, north of
range east--preparatory to selling the
same. One of the sections joins the city
at its southern boundary, and the other is
between Union bay and Lake Union and
touches the city limits at its northern
boundary.
An application fora franchise for a new
electric car line was presented to the board
BY Julian Horton. John Ryan, William
Adams ct al. The new road is sur
veyed to commence at the southern city
limits, near Colfax street, and run south
half miles. The road will cut through
erty. The board talked the matter over
and decided to allow the petitioners a
franchise when the matter is presented in
proper form.
In the matter of the petition of George
w. Poor ct al, asking that ]. p. Rankin
be appointed stenographer in the criminal
court, it was ordered that the Judge Of the
criminal court be advised that whenever
IN his opinion il is for the best interests of
King county to have court stenographer,
he employ j. p. Rankin.
Justice of the Peace Edward Won Tobel
was allowed $l25 as salary from FEBRUARY
to March 1. His court clerk was allowed
$50 as salary for February.
All of road district No lying east of
the Duwamish river was ordered trans
ferred to road district No. g.
The petition for the vacation of portion
OF Cedar street, in the town of Slaughter,
was granted.
