Over the Country,
Is There n Great Unexplored Region
in the State of Wsshingtonp

An cid friend, who has just returned
tells me. says q 1T. Louis R,puhir man,
that there is an unexplorcd region in the
state of Washington which is as little
known as the interior of Africa.
II is the country shut in by the Olym-
pic Mountains and includes an area of
about 2, 500 square miles. being some 400
miles greater in extent than the whole
State of Delaware.
This trackless waste. to the positive
knowledge of old residents Of the State.
has never been trodden by the foot of
man. white or Indian.
The mountains mentioned rise from the
level country to within ten or ffcen
miles of the Straits of San Juan de Fuca.
and, towering to height Of O. ONO to 4, 900
feet. shut IN tins last uneXDlored area.
The Indians fear the spot ms the Javans
do their - Poison valley" md say that
no man, white or red. can cross the great
basin inclosed by the Olympic Mountains
and live to tell the story of his eXplora-
tions.
But the atmosphere of this American
wonderland is not poisonous: neither In
the tangled jungle the home of wild. fierce
beasts or dangerous serpents the Indians
simply claim that IL Is inhabited by a race
OF men who are so fierce that n % represen-
tative Of the white or red man nations
could stand before them for moment.
Reing unexrlored. no one can even guess
et what the physical aspect of thus great
silent wilderness is. The most generally
accented theory in regard to it is that it
consists of great valleys stretching from
the inward slopes of the mountains to a
great central basin.
This sory is supported by tie fact
that. although the country around has
abundant rain, all of the streams flowing
towards the four points of the compass
are insignificant, and rise only on the
outer slopes of the range none appearing
to drain the great tract shut III by the
mountains
This fact supports the theory that the
streams flowing from the inner slopes of
the mountains feed great interior lake
But what drains the lake? II must have
an outlet en- 1t he that this outlet is
through suhterranenn river which emp
ties into the uc an. strait or sound2

plorntion and n chance to make many ne W

KENTZELL REINSTATED.
His Friends Rejoice Because He
Is AgaiGf Foreman.

In the proceedings of the meeting of the
Board of Fire Commissioners is an an
nouncement Of the reinstatement of James
W. Kentzell to the position of foreman of
Truck Company No. 4. Kentzell was an
old member of the Volunteer Fire Depart
ment. which went out of existence in 1866.
Shortly after he was admitted into the
present paid department as hoseman and
continued in such capacity until fourteen
years ago, when he was appointed foreman
of Truck, on account of his efficiency,
which position he held until the 31st day o f
May, 1890, when communication was
sent to the Commissioners disrating him as
foreman and reducing him to the ranks, and
transferred him from Truck 4 on Pacific
street Hill to Engine Q on Tar Flat. At the
time he was disrated Newman objected and
disputed the power to disrate any one in
the department without trial. Two weeks
after KentZell resigned, not knowing his
rights. The trouble originated in factional
by George Maxwell, warm friend of
Rainey, and the old Ninth Senatorial
District Club, headed by Sam Newman and
j. J. Kenny. Rainey and Maxwell swore
vengeance against every member of the
Fire Department who sympathized with
suit that Truck was entirely re-
organized and filled with adherents
of the would-be Boss Rainey. The end is
not yet; there was great rejoicing on Pa
cific-street Hill last evening, and hundreds
of old-lne Democrats swore they would join
the new movement to down Boss Rainey,
who they claim should be in San Fran cisco
attending to the duties for which the city
paws him instead Of lobbying in Sacramento.
Kentzell has been c0mplimented on several
occasions for his efficiency, and also his
company, which bears good reputation in
the neighborhood where they are situated
for peace and Quietness. Kentzell is men,
Der of the Executive Committee OF the Ex-
empts, and also prominent member of the
Veteran Firemen's Association, who are
highly elated at the action Of the Commits

JEFF DAVIS IMPRISONMENT,
Statement Of General Miles in Regard TO
Charges Of Cruelty.

CHICAGO, Feb. I'm the memoirs of JEFF
1erson Davis, recently published by his
widow, many pages are devoted to a de-
scrlptlon of the 'tortures of Fortress Mon
roe, OF which district General Miles. now
at the head of the Division of the Missouri
was In command Mt the time Davis was I'M
prisoned there. Mrs. Davis charges Gen.
eral Miles with cruelty to the President of
the Confederacy. He is charged with
shackling Davis by brutal force, keeping
him in vermin-infested cell, Withholding
his clothes and linen and making souvenirs
out of his possessions-even his hair, when
he had it cut. General Miles was
interviewed to-day in regard to the
matter. He said he did not mind the at
tack. "Of course" he added, Mrs. Davis
feels bitter toward me, as she probably
does toward many more Northern soldiers.
While caring nothing at all for anything she
may say, or write, l would call your atten-
tlon to the fact that Jefferson Davis sur
vlved my cruel treatment and lived twenty
years alter, finally dying Of old age That
would hardly have been the case, think, if
ne mad been subjected to such horrible
ABUSES. There is not particle OF truth in
me statements made by his wife, The fact
Is Jefferson Davis never was In better trim
IMAM when he was liberated"

No very reliable information has yet been

L'AFFAIRE
CLEMENCEAU."
A Mob of Curiosity-Inspired
People at The Grand.
A Play Disappointing in Its General Fea-
lures, and Most Unwholesoms in
It's Teachings.

The Grand Opera House was overrun
with people last evening. All the other
theaters were empty and their patrons were
there. Long before the hour for opening,
anxious crowds surged against the doors,
and when the time came for admission,
flowed into the auditorium like liberated
waters rushing over a broken dam. They
wanted to see dramatic curiosity about
which hundreds of columns have been
written, and it is quite safe to
say there was not one in that impetuous
crowd who was not disappointed. They
saw only tame showing of most I'M
wholesome play. where a couple of unscru-
pulous adventuresses, mother and daughter,
who claim TO be Russians of rank and to
possess property that LA confesses, in an
aside, never existed, lure a confiding man
into conditions which no one possessed of
honor would not scorn to fill, and the man.
ner and tone of these women were so coarse,
vulgar and tawdry that only love-sick fool
would have been deceived.
