: souAesLe ABOUT A MOUNTAIN
Tacoma and Seattle Engaged In Ludi-
crous Warfare.


One of the grandest mountains In any
country is Mount Rainier, the greatest
snow peak Of Washington. The reason
that Mount Rainier is grauder than many
other SUBMITS which equal or excel
1t in height Is because its base
is only little way above the sea
level. and the whole superb mountain
from base to summit is seen ia all Us
symmetry and majesty The mountain
can he seen from almost any part Of
Puget Sound on clear days, but the best
view of it is from Tacoma, which lies on
Commencement Bay, from which extends
eastward the Puyallup Valley, whose
head is at the base of the gaeat noun
tain.
While Mount Rainier is only little
higher than Mont Blanc, there Is not q
peak of the Alps that can be compared
with It In apparent altitude and IN
strong individual grandeur and beauty
There are no SUBMITS around it TO dwarf
its stature. From near the level of the
sea 1t rises till It pierces the clouds
and for thousands Of feet down its
rugged tanks the snow lies all the year
round A well-known writer says that
Mount Rainier is adding millions OF dol
lars to the wealth of Tacoma. and he be
lieves it will add many millions in the
future AS 1t can best be seen from the
terraces of Tacoma, the noble mountain
certainly adds to the pleasure Of resi-
dents in that brisk city.
In many Of the shop windows both in
Tacoma and Seattle, a large variety OF
the views OF the mountain are exposed
for sale. It is observed that in all the
pictures Of the mountain seen In Tacoma
are labeled Mount Tacoma, while
those seen ia the Seattle stores
bear the name Mount Rainier This
is one of the most ludicrous fea-
lures Of the rivalry Of these two cities.
Tacoma will not use a geography
In its public schools In which the noun
tain Is called Rainier, and Seattle de
clines to use school books which apply
the name "Tacoma" to the mountain.
The result Is that the same book pub
fishers furnish the same geography to
both towns each having a special edition
with the mountain named as they desire
it.
Rainier was the name OF one of Vancou-
vel s lieutenants who hrst saw the great
mountain, and it was named for him, Just
as Puget Sound was named for another Of
his officers. The Tacoma people, how
ever, say tire proper name of the noun
tain is its Indian appellatiop, and that,
having been known TO the Indians by the
name of famous chief, Tacoma, II
should be permitted to retain that
name
How the question will finally be settled
cln hardly be predicted, but the chances
are that Seattle will win, The Board Of
Geographic Names have given their ad
hesion to the name Mount Rainier, and
the influence Of this board is likely, in
the long run, TO perpetuate that name.
by which 1t is most widely known Bnt
1t will be long before Tacoma will con
sent to discard the name which she says
the mountain should bear. It is q pity,
under the circumstances, that each town
cannot have mountain and name their
particular summit to suit themselves.

IMPERIAL FEDERATION.

a General Feeling That Salisbury
Should Make Definite Statement.
LONDON. June 1S.-The general feeling
among politicians is that Lord Salisbury
ought to make a definite statement to-
morrow to the deputation of the imperial
federation. Interest in the subject is i'm
creasing.
The 81. James Gdzette tory says that
the demand for conference is reasonable
If there is TO be a federation ii would be
necessary to form league Of war or a
league of commerce. The former would be
easier to organize. There Is no evidence
that the colonies are in the least
inclined TO meet the tariff pol ICY Of Eng
land. There might be mutual arrangement
whereby England would tax raw materials
in the colonies in favor of of the manu-
facturers. 1t believes the time has arrived
for the imperial federation league either to
decide TO act or to vanish.
The Pail Nall G0setts QiberaD remarks
that each Of the three self-governinggr groups
among the colonies is in a melting pot.
Australia is In the heat OF feds ration. In
Canada there is political chaos, Intensified
by Premier MaoDonald's death. Changes
are impending in South Africa. Under
these circumstances II would be unwise to
summon federation conference at present
better let the elements stew for awhile.

A FIGHT FOR A FUGITIVE.
Germany Refuses to Hand him over
But England May Help Out.

Germany Refuses to Hand him over
But England May Help Out.
WASHINGTON, June 1s. The department
of state has been informed that the German
government has declined to surrender True
W. Holt, defaulting employe of the Walsh
Incandescent Gas Light Company Of Phila
delphia. There is no extradtion treaty
covering Hoit's offense, and while the Ger
man government was willing to surrender
him without specific treaty stipulation, 1t
was only upon condition that this govern
ment would recognize the demand by the
German government for the surrender of
escaped criminals whose crimes were not
covered by the existing treaty. OF course
this condition could not be accepted.
ENGLAND MAY HELP OUT.
But in the meantime this government has
been in communication with the govern
ment Of Great Britain and is hopeful of
securing Holt in the end. He was within
British jurisdiction at Southampton when
the extradition proceedings were begun,
and the German steamship officers inter-
ference prevented his arrest This fact
transfers part of the responsibility
OF Hoit's escape to the British government,
and it is probable that they will cause
the German government to return the man
to England, where his case will fall within
the extradition treaty now in force between
Great Britain aud the United States The
probable outcome of the case will be nego-
tiations between the governments of the
United States and Germany for new ex-
tradition treaty to replacs the present old
time arrangements, which were made with
the kingdoms formerly known as Prussia,
Bavaria, ETC., and now confined within the
German empire.
