TACOMA, Dec. 3-Tspeciall-W A.
Berry, whose partner in the publication
of the Ersnino Call, A E. Partridge,
charges him with securing credit on the
partnership account for $40, which Berry
said he used for advancing the interests of
the CaA i'll securing the city printing con-
tract, has issued an affidavit denying the
charges. Mr.. Berry alleges that the only
money he ever paid to Judge Campbell
was $40 due him, and that he never paid
any money to Colin Mcintosh, or any
other city official, on account OF the Call.
Upon the application of Mr.. Partridge
for the appointment of a receiver for the
Cal, Judge Allyn has named r. r. Chris
tie, real estate dealer. Mr. Christie's
bond was fixed at 81, 500 and Mr.. Berry is
cited to appear December s, at 10 a. m, to
show cause why the order should not be
continued.
The Call states editoriallv this evening
that no partnership agreement existed
between Partridge and Berry, but that
the former did not conform with their
| agreement, and that the agreement was
stolen from Mr.. Berry's pocket.
Partridge stated that Berry said that
Colin Mcintosh was paid $l00 for his. in
fiuence in securing the printing contract.
The Neacs printed Partridge's statement
to that effect, and Mr.. Mcintosh will
bring suit against that newspaper for
criminal libel and against Messrs. Berry
and Partridge for defamation of char
acter. 1t is rumored that there will be
some sensational charges made before the
cases are disposed of.
This afternoon Judge Campbell swore
out warrants for the arrest of Berry and
Partridge, the charge being defamation of
character. Berry was arrested at once
and was held in $500 bail for a hearing on
Tuesday. Partridge could not be served
with the warrant at once, and a constable
from the Justices court was sent out to
find him.

Haytian Affairs.

WASHINGTON, June 20-No official in
formation has been received here of the
mooted intervention of European powers in
Haytian affairs. The fact cannot be denied
that the situation in that disturbed republic
is being watched with apprehension by
European governments, but there is still a
strong belief that the Haytians will be able
to restore order without outside interior
ence. As to the attitude of the United
States government toward the reported
contemplated concert of action of European
nations, nothing can be predicted
until it is definitely known
what shape this action will assume. 1t is
recognized as a fact here that strong
government is about the only government
that can maintain order in the small semi
tropical republics, and that unless the ruler
adopts the most vigorous ana repreSSive
measures his tenure of office and the reign
of internal peace are apt to be of short
duration, consequently the government OF
the United States is not likely
ton the interference of European
powers in the domestic affairs Of our small
sister republics even when the conduct of
their rulers is repugnant to its own idea Of
fair dealing. But If it should be true that
the present ruler of Hayt is mentally ire
sponsible and has unjustly visited his
wrath upon foreign residents, it GER
tainly is unlikely that the Monroe doc
trine will be invoked to protect him from
the consequences of his acts. 1t was never
maintained that this doctrine set aside the
fundamental right of a nation to protect its
subjects from maltreatment and abuse of
their property right when residing in an
other country, and if the proposed European
action is limited to the discharge Of that
duty, it is improbable that any logical pro-
test could or would be made by the govern
ment of the United States.

PERSPECTIVE.

The first story comprises parlor 14x16
with a corner fire place, and is lighted by
two windows in front and one on the side,
and communicates with the hall and dining
room by large openings which are provided
with curtains, poles and rings at the top,
to which suitable curtains may be attached.
The woodwork about these openings is so
constructed that folding doors can be sub
stituted for the curtain arrangement at
any time. Adjoining the parlor is the
staircase hall, 17x16 in size, which commu-
nicates with the dining room by hinged
panel door at the back, and is entered
from the veranda through an extra wide
front door. The dining room, 13S16, is
lighted by a bay window of the full width
of the room-which gives cheerful effect
inside and an exceedingly picturesque ap-
pearance on the exterior. The dining room
communicates with the kitchen through
the pantry and with the sitting room
through the large opening similar to the
psrlor. Underneath the front stairs is the
china closet, fitted up with shelves and suit
able drawers for cutlery The sitting room,
E.x14, opposite the dining room, gives the
proper balance to the plan in appearance
and convenience. A veranda extends
across the front of the house and on the
side the full depth of the parlor

An Ingenious Automatic Device.

A recent invention of considerable inter-
est is described by Fire and Water. 1t is a
device for automatically shutting off the
gas when it has been blown out, instead of
being turned off in the usual way. The
principle upon which the invention is based
Is the expansion and contraction of me-
tallic loop made Of German silver and
steel, and which is adjusted very close to
the gas fame. One end of the loop is free,
while the other is secured to the fxture.
A valve controlling the gas is attached to
the free end; and when the gas is burning
the valve is open and the gas freely es-
capes. If. however, the gas is blown out,
the loop will quickly cool and contract,
and the valve will shut of the gas. It is
said that the device is exceedingly simple
and it responds quickly to the change in
temperature.
