The political event of the past week
was the meeting at Washington of the
Republican National Executive COM
mttee, which was held there instead of
at Philadelphia, as at first announced.
1t was expected that Senator Quay
would resign as chairman of the two
committees, but the announcement
that he had forwarded his resignation
as member of the National Committee
to the chairman of the Pennsylvania
State Committee was a genuine surprise,
and left the executive committee 20
choice in the matter; they were COM
PEELED to accept the resignation of the
craftsmanship of the full committee to
be acted upon by that body when it
meets in November to name the time
and place for holding the next national
convention. Another surprise was the
resignation of Gen. w. w Dudley, as
treasurer of both committees, which
was rendered as soon as the auditing
committee had reported. Gen. Dudley
leaves his post because his private bust
ness needs his attention. Both resigna-
tions were accepted with great reluct-
ance, and resolutions were passed en-
dorsing both of the retiring officials that
any man would be proud of. The COM
mttee elected Mr.. j. S. Clarkson chair
man and Mr.. G.. A. Hobart, of New
Jersey, vice-chairman, and instructed
the chairman to appoint treasurer

Rough Passage to McSeiPs Island
Causea Alarming hut EaIsa Ru.nnrs.


report reached the city yesterday that John
B. Allen. United States deputy marshal and son
of Senator John B. Allen, had been drowned
while taking party of prisoners in a rowboat
from Steilacoom to McNeIl's island. The report
was disproved by the safe arrival of the party at
the island.
Allen started, with Henry Smith and John
Frazer as guards, to take six Seattle prisoners,
two of whom were Cinnamon, from Stei LAGOON
across the Sound to McNeils island. strong
breeze was blowing at the time, and the discov-
cry of an upturned boat on the beach at the
penitantiary, taken in connection with the fact
that Allen and his party were their way
across, gave rise to the report. Arthur Perry,
for long time guard, and now warden at the
island, who came over Monday on the steamer
Multnomah, tells the following story of the
origin OF the rumor:
AS it was too stormy for the Multnomah to
come in to the penitontiary wharf, l went two
miles above to get on board her. After had
gone aboard, and while the steamer was passing
the prison, one OF the guards stood on the
wharf waving his hands to us and
could not understand what he wanted
until we saw white rowboat bottom
upward on the beach, having evidently been
thrown up by the surf. Information was tele-
phoned by Postmaster Rgney, of Steilacoom, 70
Marshal Brown this morning that Allen and the
two guards had hired boat, which had not
yet been returned. This fact, taken in connec-
ton with the discovery of the opsn
boat, must have given rise TO the report
that the psrty had been drowned The
steamer Mocking Bird was taken out from Ta-
coma BY Deputy Mckay to search for them, and
he found that they had arrived safely on the
island. Young Allen said that he knew moth
ing about the wrecked boat. The sound was SO
rough that 1t seemed though no row boat
were several times threatened with being
swamped.

DENNIS BODY FOUND.
Rescued From the Rapids by
Indian Ingenuity.
ENToMBED AMONG THE DRIFT.
The Rushing, Icy Sank Reluctantly
Yields Its Victims Corpse-The
Remains Buried.

The remains of Wellington D. Denny, the
member of Reynolds surveying party who was
drowned on November "A while crossing the
Sauk river, twenty miles above Sank City.
were brought to Seattle by brother OF the de-
ceased, N. E. Denny. They were taken to
Bonnsy & Stewards undertaking rooms, whence
the funeral services were held at o'clock in
the ternoon, Rev John F. Damon officiating.
The facts of the drowning are briefly as follows:
w. B. Denny and the other five members of
Alexander NJ. Reynolds psrty were returning
to camp in the evening and had to either wade
across the Sank river opposite the camp, where
the water was deep and the current swift, or
go two miles above to bridge.
One of the party named Slater made
the passage in safety. Denny went down
the stream to point where the water COM
menced to be rapid and tried to wade across.
About half way across the stream he lost his
footing, aud was carried down over the rocks in
the rapids and disappeared from view.
The search for the body was at first fruitless.
Word was sent to the brother, N E. Denny, who
lives at Columbia of the accident, and a reward
for its recovery was offered to the Indians living
along the river. Information was received
Monday, November so, that an Indian had shot
the rapids, and about one-half mile below
where Denny was drowned had discovered the
body under some driftwood To recover it was
a very difficult matter and required persever-
ance The Indian tied rope around his waist
and secured the other end in the canoe. His
squaw managed the boat, and when the buck
Owed beneath the drift, she waited until, in her
judgment he could not longer remain
under water safely, and then pulled him
from under the drift, so that he could rise to the
surface and breathe. This operation was re-
peated several times until he had succeeded In
releasing the body.
The remains were taken to the surveyors
camp and held until the brothers arrival. For
white men to attempt the journey down the
river to Sank City would be suicide, as the river
was very high and consequently dangerous.
The Indians were once more brought into SER
vice and successfully made the trip of over
twenty miles. The remains were then placed on
the steamer Henry Bailey and brought to Seattle.

TWO EASTERN BRICK-MAKERS.
One From Ohio and the Other From
North Dakota.

At the Occidental hotel are two men formerly
in partnership in the brick business at Paines-
vile, o., Mr.. j. 5. Bartholomew and Mr.. James
Shelby. The latter who is still in business at
the old stand, is brother of p. z. Shelby, of St.
Paul, general traffic manager of the Great North
ern. The two brothers do not look very much
alike, though each is tall and powerfully built.
The successful railroader has full beard just
touched with gray, while Mr. James Shelby has
thick snow beard covering his chin and the
lower part of his face.
Twelve years ago Mr.. Bartholomew left
gainesville to SO into brick-msking at Grand
Forks, N D., and he has been very successful
there. "Dakota is on the top of lions hill this
year. he said last night. 'We have really
more wheat than we eau harvest, and the price
of the grain is high. What more do we wart?''

NTHE SPORT OF CRUEL BOYS. v
An Old, Worn-Out Horse Attracts tho
Humane SocietY,s Pity.

A few days ago C. I. Conover. one of the
prime movers in the organization of the Seattle
Humane Society, received letter from a lady
in South Seattle complaining that Swede who
lived at the corner OF Seventh and Dearborn
streets was in the habit of allowing boys the
use OF an old white horse which he owned, and
that the boys treated the animal in q cruel and
unmercifn manner.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Conover, accom-
panied by s. l.. Crawford, drove down to South
Seattle and investigated the case. They found
in ramshaekle barn an old white horse that
was so old and feeble and scantily fed that hs
could hardly walk. He was so lean and poor his
hips and ribs stood out in bold relief, while his
legs were covered with sores and were painfully
swollen. He was simply a skeleton covered
with skin. Boys were in the habit of taking the
animal out and, hitching him up to cart,
would beat and prod him about for two and
three hours at a time.
The owner of the animal promised to look
after him and see he was properly fed hereafter.
Nj Conover told him that if any other CON-
plants were received the matter would be taken
into court

investigate a singular case of dealing In opium
He discovered that c. c. Sarvis, who was once
involved in a land swindie in this city, hao
been playing O clever confidence game not only
in Olympia, but in Chehsls. Saryis would go
TO man and ask for loan OF 500, offering as
security twenty pounds of "dope, and promis-
ing to pay $500 back for the loan as soon as q
Consignment of 100 pounds more OF the smuggled
opium should arrive
Since most men imagine that there are enerm-
Gus profits in opium Sarvis usually found IL
easy TO raise the money. He took care, how
ever, when he turned over the cans OF supposed
opium as security, TO have an sccomplice see
where the money-lender hid or buried them.
sarvis would not repay the loan, and when his
victim would hunt for the cans OF opium no
cans would be found-in short the stuff had
been stolen. But the man who advanced the
money could do nothing but pocket his loss in
silence, because he took as security q contra
band article
Sarvis is a man who took unusual pains to
protect himself, for instead OF giving real opium
as security he pslmed off mixture of molasses
and laudanum; go If his aceomplice did not
succeed in stealing back the cans, the loss
would not be q heavy one.

HAS LEARNED THE DUDES VICE.
Queen Angelina Takes to Cigarette
Smoking in Her Old Age.

Among the INDECENT poor whom County Com
missioner Gasch has arranged that the county
shall in part support is old Queen Angelina,
the Indian daughter OF Chief Seattle, after
whom this city was named. Yesterday the
board eli commissioners received bill for goods
supplied TO her during the month of November,
amounting in all to sl.25 in which occurs the
item: cigarettes, 10 cents"
The bill was allowed, though what the old
woman wanted with cigarettes puzzled the
board somewhat. The pionees say that in her
younger days Angelina was never known to in
dulge in such frivoltles as the smoking of
cigarettes but it is evident that in her declining
years this prominent figure in past age is CIV
ing way to bad habits She probably feels the
necessity of aiding sluggish nature in fastening
the day when she will bid farewell to this mum
dane sphere and join her father in the happy
hunting grounds.
Angeline Is very economical. and her grocery
bill has never exceeded 81 per month. All her
crying needs are supplied by charitable old
timers

TACOMA, Dec Especial. 1.-The Multn oman
tonight inaugurated 50-cent rate on the Ia
coma-Seattle route, and captured a large pro-
portion of the Flyers trade Both the Flyer
and MultnoInah leave here at O'Clock, and
since the former boat came on the run she has

1t ia said that when the Gatzert was withdrawn
from the Olympia run, giving the Multnomah
full swing to that port, there was verbal agree
ment that the latter should not interfere with
the Flyer.
1t is believed that the Flyer will have to meet
the Multnomah's rate if the latter will not go
back to the former 75-cent rate. In order to
force the Multnomah to terms there is talk of
returning the Gatzert to the Olympia run, but
the Multnomah's friends say it will not pay to
do that
