Raum's Resignation - Ex-Governor
Steele, of Oklahoma, Mentioned as
His Successor.

CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-At the coming cleo
ton in November a superintendent of
schools is to be chosen and today was
the day of registration for that
event. Applications for registration by
women were very numerous, especially in
fashionable circles, and they came
well posted on law and the methods
of procedure in registration un-
der the statute, said to be in their
favor, passed by the last legislature.
In some places the boards of regis
tration declined to receive their
names, and in others their names were
put upon the registry books with all the
blanks filled except that stating whether
or not the person is a qualified
voter. This leaves the ladies a fight
ing chance at the polls. This chance,
they say, they propose to take the
fullest possible advantage of. In sur
burban towns many women's names
were put on the register. In the
aristocratic circles of Evanston, men,
bers of the board of registration did
not oppear at the polling place, and about
100 prominent ladies met and formulated
statement setting forth the facts.
In this city formal protest against the
refusal OF registry was made before the
election commissioners. by two ladies,
who propose to make test case.

Rate War ON the Columbia.

PORTLAND, Oct. 2o.-Ispecial lone OF the
results OF the opening OF the portage railway
ana the establishment of an opposition line of
ooats 10 Dailes City has been a reduction of
passenger rates on the river to DaIles City and
intermediate points by the Union Pacific line
10 % cents. The new rate went into
efiect yesterday. The rate by rail and
Doat has heretofore been 1886, but the opposi-
ton line cut IL down to 81, and General Passen.
ger Agent Hurlburt, of the Union Pacific con-
cluded that If the people of Dalles City wanted
aeneap river route he would accommodate them,
ana so put the price of tickets down
10 90 cents. There has been no reduction in
freight rates nor in passenger rates by rail, but
mere Is likely to be further reduction on the
river. Union Pacific officials intimate that the
Portage railway is not being run in accord
ance with the Houck law, which fixes
the rate for railroad fares at cents
per mile. They say it is not proper that the
state should require railroad companies to con-
form to the law and yet run its own railway as
1t pleases. The Union Paciic's reduction
mas been expected by the people
OF Dalles City since the portage
me was opened three weeks ago. It affects The
Dalies Portland and Astoria Navigation Com
psny, which was organized by the merchants of
Inc Dalles. The company owns the
steamer Regulator, plying between The
DaiIes and the Cascades, and the steamer
Daiies City, running between Portland and the
cascades 1t is believed that the company will
not make reduction to meet the Union Pa
cincs cut. Its officers have been assured by
large majority of the merchants of Dalles City
that under no circumstances would they pat
rohlze the Union Pacific boats, no matter if
tney carried freight and passengers for nothing.
"nether they will keep their promise remains
10 De seen. The Union Pacific boats have been
running at loss, and it is said that the COM
pany recently ordered them withdrawn, but
feconsldered and decided to cut passenger rates.

from such leaders. The condemnation of the

RoBBER ALBERrsoN IN COURT.
He Valves Examination and Is Held in
Jail for Trial.

jail Tor LT4af.
TACOMA, Oct 0-tspeeiakl edward Albert
son. who robbed the Fidelity Trust Company of
$4,000 last August, was arraigned this afternoon
before Justice Sharp. He was very composed
and demure. He waived preliminary examina-
uon, and was held in $4,000 bonds, which were
rot furnished, and he was returned to the
county Jail.
Albertson was brought downtown by Sheriff
Price, and as he was not handcuffed, few people
took the least notice OF him, the great bulk of
the people on the street at the time failing to
recognize him. An expression of intense sad
ness darkened his face when passing the Fidelity
Trust Company's bank. He glanced rather
shyly into one of the bank windows, and re-
marked that things looked natural This after
noon he sent for his brother-in-law, John L.
Cohoon, who went to see him this evening. To
correspondent of the PosT-INTELLIGENcER Mr..
Cohoon said:
DO not think Mr. Albertson will live through
this trouble. He is sensitive, and is greatly
worried and grieved. Yes, he used to own
some fine horses in Council Bluffs. I owned
them with him, and when they got to costing
too much sold out my interest The reason
why Mrs. Albertson went away without seeing
her husband is simply the fact that my wife had
to go to Council Bluffs to see her mother, who
for weeks has been at the point of death. She
would have gone before. if this trouble had not
occurred. She had to 60 if she was to see her
mother alive, and Mrs. Alberpson, who has been
without funds for some time, decided to go
with her. There was no other reason for her
going.
Sheriff holland and Deputy Sheriff Cochrane
of Lane county, Or, are here for the purpose OF
fixing up the $500 reward for the capture of
Albertson and Chandler. 1t appears that
Cochrane located the burglars and then brought
on Sullivan's men to assist him. Albertscn
laughed in an insinuatiHg way when asked his
opinion of Suliivan's men. He did not answer
the question, but it is understood the presence
and questions of Mcmillan annoyed him very
much during his Sickness.
Information charging Albertson with grand
larceny was fled this aft rnoon in the superior
court.
