county's present Indebtedness, and the balance
to be applied toward the building OF county
reads, settled last saturday at the
polls, and resulted III brilliant victory for the
bonds. No question has been before the
people that has created such lively interest
Especially was this apparent with the opposi-
ti0n, which, be il said 10 their credit worked
most arduousy for the defeat of the measure
The strongest opposition was made in Aberdeen,
where l77 votes out of 2s3 were east against the
bonds. There are twenty-five voting precincts
In the county, and although the Official returns
are not yet in, each precinct has been heard
from, snd the result shows a clear majority OF II
more than three ifths vote. The registration
in the various precincts was very light and the
voting much lighter, there being only 30 votes
cast. Quiniault, lake, Wilson and Grays Harbor
City ate reported as having voted solid III favor
OF the bonds.
The result ol the bond election is considered
by the more enterprisiug OF Chehalis eounty's
people as the most fortunate stroke of financial
policy that could have overtaken their best in
terests. The strongest objection urged by the
opposition was that the appropriation would not

around which there was strong
guard OF police aud troops. The company,
assisted by police. attempted to run several
stages. The strikers first stoned them and then
made charge, running away the police The
drivers were dragged from the boxes and
pounded vigorously, while their stages were
overturned. The efforts of the police
were useless in the face OF tho over
whelming mob. AT one time il was
thought the troops wouid bo called upon.
The police were reinforced and made several ar
rests. Public sympathy was with the strikers,
who were out for shorter hours and reinstate-
ment OF their companions, who had been dis.
charged because they belonged to the
union. Many newspapers of the city opened
and their families in order to enable
them TO successfully push their fight. This
evening the government decided Co intervene in
the strike. The governments determination to
interfere was solely for the purpose OF assuring
conveyance for the public, who naturally suf-
fered considerably from the total suspension of
stages.
CoRUSSA, Spain, May 26-There have been

THREE MEN KILLED AT cENrRAL1A
They Entered an Unused Well. Became
Stupefied and Were Drowned.

CESrEALIA, May 26. Especial. IA terrible ac-
eident occurred here yesterday afternoon at
O'Clock, by which three men lost their
lives. They were Benny Perry, Patrick Byrns
and Myron Dobson. Sonny Ford also came near
losing his life but was Fscued
Patrick Byrns was one OF the contractors for
grading Tower avenue, and had force of men
employed plowing the avenue between Pine
and Magnolia streets The plow struck a
timber and revealed a we'll which had
been sunk year or more ago for fire protection
purposes.
to see how much water was in the well. In a
moment an alarm was raised that he had fallen
off the ladder and was drowning.
Byrns Immediately entered the well to go to
his rescue. lie was seen to totter and fall.
Sunny Ford Immediately jumped into the well
and quickly went down the ladder. He caught
hold of both men, each by an arm. and called
for help--for rope. He felt himself growing
faint, but for some uuaccountable reason no
rope was to be had, and he was overcome by the
foul air. Myron Dobson descended into the
deadly hole, only to be overcome and fall into
the water. Then Miller Murdoch secured rope
and placed it around his body and descended.
lie became faint, but he finally succeeded in
getting hold of Sunny Ford and getting to the
top with him. Then Theodore Hoss and Coun-
Gilman Cooner went down, and each brought up
man. and A. +. George, reporter for the Daily
Nelrs, went in and succeeded in bringing out
Benny Perry
In the meantime the FIRST man taken out was
carried into the new building Of David Gaping
and means taken to resuscitate him. He was
finally brought to- Every means was taken to
resuscitate the other three men, but without
avail. For more than an hour they were rolled
on barrels, famed and rubbed, but it was too
late, aud finally the doctors in attendance were
compelled to pronounce life extinct.
Benny Perry was about 40 years of age and
single. Patrick Byrns was about 40 years of
age and also single. Myron Dobson has only
been here few weeks, having come from New
York. where he has large family. He was a
carpenter, but being unable to get work at his
trade took a job grading on the streets. Sonny
Ford is son OF John Ford. one of the first set
tiers in this section of Washington, and after
whom Ford's prairie was named.
Thecoroner held an inquest last night, and
the jury returned a verdict that the three men
had come to their death from asphyxiation in
the city well, and that no one was to blame
Today money is being raised to send the re-
mains OF Myron Dobson and his widow and
three children back to New York The remains
OF Patrick Byrns wal be shipped to st. Paul to-
morrow, While Sonny Perry will be buried here.

BRITISH FINANCIAL POLICY
VIM. Vernon Harcourt Attacks Gosche hen'l
Budget-Free Educational Plans.

Ete EuuCAtIOnAt ItAnt.
LONDON, May 26.-on the second reading of
the budget bill in the commons today, Harcourt
attacked the policy of Goschen, claiming it was
a subversion of the recognized principles
of English finance. The house was
told, he said, that the governments
free education plans would absorb over
million pounds, but the house
was not informed TO the method by which
the money would be applied Again. the finan-
cial system which the government had followed
in borrowing from future revenues for naval ex-
penditures was essentially erroneous and de-
structive to sound finance. He wanted TO know
the intentions of the government in regard to
the coinage of gold, aud also what part the gov
eminent took ia connection with the Barring
guarantee. The course in the latter matter he
thought was dangerous precedent.
Goschen in reply said the government had
precedent for their financial policy in connec-
ton with naval expenditures in the course
taken by the Liberals in regard TO army iocali-
zation. Touching on the subject OF the BaxiQg.
guarantee, Goschen said no part OF this guar
antee was undertaken directly or indirectly bv
the government. The coinage question would
not involve an additional burden on the treasury

A VIGOROUS FOREIGN POLICY.
The President in Full Accord With Mr..
Rlaine,s Ear-Seeing Designs.

WASHINGTON CITY, May pa colUmn article
in this mornings Post ladministrationl bears
marks of inspiration from high official quarters.
1t was evidently put out by the administration
to allay the fears that Blaine's illness will
seriously disturb or change the foreign policy
begun by him toward England, Russia, Italy,
Spain, and in fact most of the great countries of
Europe and Spanish America. Notwithstand-
ing thedenials by Blaine's family and physi-
clans. the impression is fast gaining ground
that Blaine will never be an entirely well man
again.
1t is well known that for years he has been
troubled with something like Bright's disease.
He may resume his duties at the state depart
ment after a lapse of several months, but not
for any great length of time. His disease will
slowly undermine his strong constitution.
The Post says that Blaine's contemplated de-
parture for Maine, which has given rise to such
grave fears, need not hinder the transaction of
current state department matters, as President
Harrison has always taken deep interest in
foreign affairs and is more or less familiar with
the state of Blaines negotiations with foreign
diplomatsts.
The Post CONTINUES, the president and Mr..
Blaine believe in a vigorous but not rash for
eigu policy and this viii be carried out. AZ
fairs have SO lar progressed that it will be no
harm to give the public limited knowledge of
them, and then the Post says the United States
Ella as against the eneroachments of British
Guiana, and will further strengthen our hold
uuon the Hawaiian islands and take an active
interest in Liberia, and establish line of steam
ers to Monrovia, so that we can strengthen oir-
selves the better TO penetrate Africa and secure
a fair share of trade
The administration has also decided that the
Chilean war shall cease. 1t is safe to say that
yery>soon the United states will intervene, but
without injustice to either side.
The Posts article ssys that England selfshly
undermines us in the Hawaiian Island, crowds
into Central America against our Monroe doc
trine. excites irritation against us in Canada,
and refuses to allow perfectly satisfactory ar
rancement with Newfoundland, aud as climax
encroaches on the seal fisheries The United
states NAV endeavor to perfect an alliance with
France and Russia says the Post. so as TO secure
the active assistance of their armies and navies,
in case conflict with any other European ma
ton should be unavoidable
NEW YORK, May 26.-Secretary Blaine rested
