After some further discussion the report wss
ADOPTED as read.
William Kierski suggested that instead of the
visitors coming to this city by rail- an excellent
Ian wonld be to meet them as Tacoma and
bring them to Seattle by boat. and that they
would be met outside the harbor BY all the
steamers and escorted into port. Not only
would there be chance Of displaying the adj
vsntages of the harhor. but it would afford the
best general view of the city. The party would
be landed almost in the heart of the city,
within easy reach OF the business portion, and
almost where enc of the arches is TO be erected
over the street.
The plan seemed to meet with general favor,
and was referred TO the committee for consider

.A Texas Steer."

This evening Hoyt's grea: farcc-comedy "A
Texas Steer" viii be produced a. Seattle opera
house
In brief, the story Of "a Texas Steer is
that OF Texan cattle king, rough and blunt of
character, who is elected to congress by the
black and white voters of his district without
his consent. He is accompanied TO Washington
City by an ambitious wife and lovely but hoy
denish young daughter, and is preceded by a
handsome captain of the regular army, who is
engaged TO the latter.
The new congressman is swindied right and
left by lobbyists and sdyenrurers, but his com
mon sense comes to his relief, and he quickly
falls into line with the customs of Washington
City life and federal legislation. His wife and
daughter. finding the gallant captain rather
ashamed of their Texan greenness, take um-
bragg and dismiss him; thereupon setting TO
work to establish themselves N society through
culture and an airing of the fact that their hus-
band and father has a bank account of some
$6.O0o.0oa. They are highly successful, and the
disTnissed lover is brought back TO the daugh-
tets side by series OF happy circumstances.

house on Thursday evening. Strange as it may
seem, no matter how often company present
ing ssUncie Toms Cabin appears in city, it is
often found that in the audience there are many
who are seeing this great play for the first time.
The play is great from the fact that, like sThe
Old Homestead the scenes and characters are
true to life.
No one sees the show but what it creates de-
sire to read the book and to those that have read
it the opportunity to attend performance Is sell
dom sighted. Thus it il that both the book and
play live ON. The fun is pure. As this play has
always drawn good houses and has not been

THE CIRCUIT JUDGEsHrPs.
Senator Allen Denies . Rumor and
Speaks of Men Mentioned for Places

Senator Allen Denies q Rumor and
Speaks of Men Mentioned for Places.
WASHINGTON CRY, March "a rumor
gained considerable circulation in this
city that Senator John B. Allen. Of WASH
ington. would be appointed to one of the
new circuit judgeships, and speculation
was rife as to his successor in the Senate.
To a reporter Senator Allen character
lied the rumor as pure fabrication: he
said that as no names had been mentioned
for the judgeship from his state, he had
been giving the subject little attention.
The rumor, he thought, was based
upon talk in the state pa-
pers, which was without his knowledge
and consent. For five years the territory
had been Democratic. and his nomination
and election to the Fifty-frst congress as
territorial delegate had been exemplified
in way very gratifying to him. Before
he took his seat as delegate the territory be-
came state and he was elected senator.
Previously he had practiced law, and had
had no part in politics, except when he
took the stump for his party in campaigns.
Those who had started the rumor were
probably of the opinion that his predilec-
ton for the law would make the Judge
ship more eongenial place for him than
the Omitted States Senate
He said he had been much amused at
reading the estimate of q complete change
of the political chess board. In case of his
resignation from the Senate to accent the
judgeship, he had heard the name of Sem
ator Doiph's brother, and also that of
Judge Moody mentioned for the judgeship.

Ausrrs. Tex, March 22.-The state Of
Texas owns and runs su gar farms worked
by convicts. Recently a.bill was passed by
the Legislature TO accept the 2 per cent.
bounty under the Mckinley BILL Gov
ernor Hogg vetoed it. The veto closes in
part as follows:
The state is the sovereign Of her own affairs
and cannot be disturbed in the legitimate exer-
else OF her prerogatives. Ii she desires to pro-
duce sugar by convict labor under no circum-
from any government license
to do so: nor could she yield
to supervision of her affairs. by any
officer not subordinate to her own laws Prece
dents, by government usurpation, become
stronger than law; verse, they are more difficult
to overthrow when they are erected on the de-
struetion OF the constitution, like this "bounty
act The wrong which produced them
strengthens as the fruits OF the crime spread,
until they become fastened forever on the people,
1t 10 hardly decent to suppose that no measure is
too monstrous to be received with popular
credulfty. when it embraces q proposition to
dispense money, under the name OF bounty,
among the citizens. Insidious and decep-
tive as these methods usually are, no one can
deny that at the heart of them there is corrup-
ton. 1t consists of the government col
lecting money to the impoverisnment
OF the masses by which to crafty
the greed Of favored classes. federation by
q Tree people finds support only in their igno-
rance. The resistance OF oil monopolies and ex
elusive legislation for the benefit Of the few at
the expense OF the many in abeyance to the will
OF the people, comports with the untarnished
record OF Texas and cannot fail to make their
course in the future bright, except at the sacri-
fee of her honor or soyereignty ae a state.

Coal Famine in Chile.

WASHINGTON CRY, March 2o.-The bu-
reau of American republics furnishes the
following information: The president of
Chile has given gratuity equal to years
pay to all officers of the navy of that re-
public VINO refused to join with their COM
rades in the revolution.
The recent newspaper advices from VAL
paraiso report that nearly all of the traffic
upon the railroads of Chile has been sus-
pended because of coal famine in that
country. The price of coal on January II
was $55 ton, and the supply almost ex-
hausted. Unless the blockade is raised
railway traffic and all industries requiring
fuel will be entirely suspended.
