THE DISTRICT JUDGESHIP.
IL Lays Between Ex.Chief Justice
Beatty aud Chief Justice Sullivan.


Special Correspondence Of the TnEs,i
BOISE, January Is.
The news that the Attorney Gen
~ral of the United States had refused
to send the name of Lyttleton Price
to the President for United States
District Judge was not unexpected
1t, was generally known that charges
had been preferred against the too
iree>spoken attorney, and that even
the ladies had taken a hand in the
matter BY numerously signing a vlgor.
ously worded protest against his APP
.po'ntment, and having 1t presented to
Mrs. Harrison.
This and the attitude Of the Idaho
Senators on the silver question effects
ually cooked Mr.. Prices goose, and
deprived him of what chance he
ever had to receive the appointment.
Judge Beatty is looked upon as the
coming man, as he has been by the
knowing ones from the start, as, al
though Mr.. Dubois. and Senator
Shoup are not friendly to him even
they admit that no chatges can be
sustained against him, excepting that
OF being . marplot and somewhat
lacking in political backbone. But Of
his Republicanism, responsibility, and
general fitness for the position there
is not the slightest doubt.
If the Senators were in accord with
the administration, Judge Beatty
would stand slim show. But as i,
is his influential friends will easily off.
set their autagonism. Besides, Sen.
ator Mcdonnell aud Hon. Willis
SWEET ara very friendly to Judge
Beatty, while Senator Shoup is too
big a man to stoop to the preferment
OF charges or to any other than per.
sonal fight against man for political
reasons. As to Mr.. Dubois he is not
yet seated, and as his seat is likely to
be contested he has not, of course,
that influence with the administration
which he would haye il full d. dyed
Senator.
Others are spoken of in connection
with the place-such as Judge
Morgan, Major Huston, Judge Gray,
Judge Sullivan, Texas Angel, Mr..
Hepburn and Mr.. Ciagett
The two last will not take it; Judge
Morgan is laboring under the dis
advantage OF charges preferred BY
Democrats, which are false but count
nevertheless. Major Huston and
Judge Gray have been kickers so long
that they cannot muster the united
support of the party. Texas Angel is
hardly considered a candidate. This
caves only Hon. I. N. Sullivan, our
present Chief Justice, who is a new
nan, practically without enemies, and
who would prove a very respectable
Judge.
The choice therefore appears to be
between himself and Judge Beatty.

mise OF Senator Beck, OF Kentucky, is
iamented to the same degree as the
death OF Senator John A. Logan.
The death of Mr.. Beck recalls an
incident illustrating the intense res

SUBURBAN BUILDING.
An Outside Residents Views ON the
Subject.

There is every indication that during the cou-
ing season there win be q Iarge amount of resi-
dence building in and around Seattle. The
suburbs win probably do their share, and in
South Park particularly on account Of the con-
Etyuction of the Valley street electric railway,
q season of great activity is expected.
Mr.. z. 8. Rowland, who is one of the pioneer
settlers OF South Park. having settled and built
there in February. 1880. in speaking of the pros
poets of building In his section during the COM
ing season, said:
.There viii be many new houses built in
South Park during the summer. The company
has reserved number OF lots for building pu--
poses, upon which understand they will con-
sfruct neat cottages. OF the large number OF
tention OF building this summer The fact that
the Valley street electric road will soon be rum
ming there, has, of course, given great impetus
to the building in this section own fouf lots
and have gardened some and while have not
kept an exact account, am confident that the
product, If all sold at ruling prices, would have
paid for my lots. The great richness of the
black loan in that section and its wonderful
fertility surprises every one who has investi-
a.when the Valley street electric road il COM
pleted to South Park 1t will in my opinion be
the most desirable suburb in or around Seattle
II will be easily reached, and its splendid loca-
ton and level site make ii most desirable for
either homes or gardens. We're to locate again
would most certainly go TO South Park. and
am in every way pleased with my investment
Green lake, Lake Union, Lake Washington and
Ballard, and my Judgment led me TO invest in
South Park, and the result has been in every
way satisfactory to me from every standpoint,
and now that we are to have the electric cars
am more than delighted"

And the couple turned and started off down
toward whitechapel.
When they had gotten out of sight Myers
acted like an insane man and started after
them, but could not find them.
