WHEAT Is HIGH.
Prospects Of Large Prices for the Next
Crop Give Great Encouragement.

Mr.. J. Y. Chown. president of the Blaine
Chamber of Commerce, is dt the Rainier,
on his way home from trip through the
eastern part of the state. This will be a
great year for Washington. said he last
evening. Il found wheat selling in Walla
Walla for II cents a bushel-much higher
than il has been for years and years. That
rate means that all of our first wheat will
bring very good price in the market, and
probably the whole crop viii go at a bet
ter price. 1t follows then that good deal
of money viii come TO this state for circu-
lation within the coming year. The cron
outlook in the eastern part of the state is
excellent"

The opening of the Port Townsend South

them in the streams now than the mills

engaged in the manufacture of woolens,
and he is now looking over the state with
the idea of locating here. II should hesi-
tate to start wooden factory" said he
last night, because the machinery is
very expensive. More than that, you
cannot pick up hands for . wooden mill
on every street corner. Highly-trained
mechanics are required to do the work
properly, and it is hard to get them In
short, you have to educate them. The
hands in WOODEN mill, generally speak
ing, require more training than those in .
cotton mill, for the machinery in the for
mer is more complicated"

ADJUSTMENTS.
Little tycoon"

Willard Sponsors comic opera Little
Tycoon" will be produced at Seattle
opera-house next Monday and Tuesday
evenings.
The story of Little Tycoon is told
without unnecessary waste of words. In
the first act company of touring collegi-
ates is shown on the deck of an ocean
steamer. General Knickerbocker's daugh-
ter, Violet, is in love with Alvin Barry, an
energetic young American, but her father
wants her to marry an English nobleman,
one Lord Dolphin. violet's bosom friend,
Dolly Dimple, and Alvin's college chum,
Rufus Ready. determine TO aid the young
couple in their love affairs. and the col
lege boys and girls, who are represented
by members of the chorus, also lend their
assistance. Disguised as hobgobiins, the
college boys endeavor to harrass and fright
en- old Knickerbocker in the first act, and
they impart an air of merriment to the
entire opera. The finale of the first
act is made exceedingly effective
by the showing of panoramic
view of New York harbor and the lower
bay. The first scene in the second
act is the interior of Knickerbocker's villa
at Newport, and there Alvin appears dis
guised as Lord Dolphin, while Rufus APP
pears as counterfeit presentment of
Teddy, the Irish valet of Dolphin Knick-
erbocker is about to give his daughter to
the fraudulent Dolphin when the real Dol
phin and his valet come on the scene. aud
the audience sees four Dromios. Alvin is
ordered out of the house, but, not dismayed
by defeat, he disguises himself as the great
tycoon of Japan, and is received at lawn
party by kniekerbocker. who, not perceiv-
ing this repeated deception, gives him yio-
let in marriage. Then the disguise is dis
carded. Alvin takes Violet, old Knicker-
booker proposes to Miss Hurricane, COM
zeal old maid, and the people on the stage
and in the audience are all made happy

CALIFORNIA CORRUPTION.
THE REPORT OF THE ILLEGAL GRAND
JURY SUBMITTED.

Astounding Revelations Suppressed by the
Supreme Court Decision-A Rotten
Legislature Would Have Been Exposed
Political Assessments in the Coast Me-
tropolis.
SAN Francisco, Dec. 23.-The grand
jury impanelled several months ago made a
final report to-day and was discharged. The
jury has been engaged in investigating
scandals that affect members of the last
Legislature and returned indictments
against a number of the legislators. The
Supreme Court decided against the legality
of the jury on the ground that the Lower
Court exceeded its jurisdiction in appoint
ing n.eiis9r TO select jurors.
In their report the jury refers to investi-
cations affecting the Legislature. The re-
port is impersonal in substance. The jury
states that it discovered a great deal of cor
ruption to have existed Had not the
Supreme Court decided it was an illegal
body, the jury states it would have initiated
such measures as would have resulted in
the permanent abatement of this evil, and
would return so many indictments that the
people of the State would have been ap-
palled.
Regarding the local municipal govern
ernment, the jury say the testimony showed
that assessments levied on number of cor
porations by one political manager amounted
to 100000 annually, and that large NUM-
Der of employees of the municipality had
been assessed certain percentages of their
salaries for political purposes.
Judge Wallace accepted the report. He
stated that the Sheriff and the Coroner, who
ordinarily have the appointment of Jurors,
were themselves subject to Investigation,
and criticized the Supreme Court for over
looking this point.

She Refuses All Overtures From Her Hus-
bands Family to Compromise Her
Suit-Oniy q Decree of Divorce for
Abandonment VIII Satisfy Her.
NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-[SpeciaL J-For
several days past the friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. James G. Blame, Jr., have been
using every exert;on to smooth
over the domestic troubles of the
couple and prevent the divorce suit from
coming to trial. All these efforts, how
ever, will have to be abandoned, as appar-
emily nothing less than a decree on the
ground of abandonment will satisfy Mrs.
Blaine.
This decision was only arrived at this
afternoon, when the persons particularly
interested had debated the subject for sew
eral hours. Mrs Blaine, Jr., is with
her father and mother, Colonel and
Mrs. Neyins, at the New York Hotel.
An attempt was made to find her there to-
night in order to get her story, but she
could not be found. Mrs. NeYins is so
ill that she is unable to leave
her room, and Colonel Nevins is confined to
bed with the grip. In answer to a question
sent up to him he sent down this written re-
ply:
It is true that the Blaines have offered a
compromise, which my daughter has indig-
nantly refused. She will go to Dakota just
as soon as the necessary papers are COM
pleted. This matter is adjourned over until
next Wednesday afternoon.
1t can be readily seen from this that Mrs.
Blaine intends to remain in this city onlv
long enough to see that the referee has taken
all the testimony required and has made out
his report She will then go on to Dakota,
where she expects the divorce to be granted.
Colonel Nevins was not anxious to discuss
the matter further, nor would he give the
terms of the offer which mis- daughter had
refused,

FIELD is A LVNATIC.

The Court Declares Him Mentally Irrespon'

NEW YORK, Dec. 23-[Special. las
result of the inquiry into the sanity of Ed
ward M. Field to-day at White Plains be-
fore Commissioner Robertson the man who
has brought ruin upon his firm, that OF
Field, Lindley, Wiechers g. Co., and caused
the prostration of his world famous father,
Cyrus w. Field, upon a sick bed from
which he may never arise, has been declared
mentally irresponsible for his actions.
Judge Robertsons charge almost directed
the return of this verdict, which the jury
was only 10 minutes in finding. The evi-
rdence submitted will be laid before Justice
Dykman, of the Supreme Court. II in his
opinion the jury found correct verdict,
he will appoint commissioners to take
charge of Fields estate.
Field will have to appear in the courts to
answer the indictments fonnd against him.
IF it can be proved that he was insane at
the time the transactions took place he will
be held irresponsible and committed to the
care of the commissioners appointed by
Judge Dykman.
About 80 o'clock the news reached Lud-
low Street Jail, and the deputy warden at
once informed Field of the fact He
scarcely raised his eyes to look at his in
formant, and simply muttered, languidly.
''That SOP" The deputy warden added q
few details, but Field displayed not parti-
Gle of interest and simply said, "All right,
as the warden turned to go.
Field is still fasting. Last night and to-
day passed with exactly the same incident,
or lack of incident, as the previous days
He took not morsel of food, and lay
stretched on the couch In his cell all day,
scarce making motion of any sort. It is
difficult to tell just what effect his long
fast is having upon him, but he grows more
haggard, and to-day his appearance was that
of man bordering on collapse.
Field will have to plead first in the civil
case upon which he is committed, and the
new indictments will come up after that. 1t
was said at the District Attorneys Office
that he would be kept in Ludlow Street
Jail until this case come up for trial

State is for Him-only the Metropolis
Doubtful-Blaine in the Best Mental
Condition-Harrison Must Yield.
NEW YORK, Dec. 23.- [Special IAN
eminent Republican, who is in a position
to speak authoritatively, but who withholds
his name from publication for obvious
reasons, has the following to say on the
question of Mr.. Blaine's candidacy for the
Presidential nomination at the Minneapolis
convention: ''The situation stands exactly
as it did six months ago. If Mr. Blaine is
candidate it will be Blaine. If Mr. Blaine
is not candidate it will be Harrison. Now
/ have every reason to believe that Blaine
will be a candidate Blaine handed the
nomination over to Harrison in 1888, and If
Harrison is not willing to hand the nomina-
tion over to Blaine in 1892 it will be wrested
from him by force Very many more than
q majority of the delegates who will 60 to
Minneapolis will be for Blaine.
The New York delegation, contrary to
general belief, will be against Harrison. No
one can deliver the entire delegation-that
is an impossibility. The delegates are
elected by districts, and must respect the
sentiment Of their constituency to greater
or less degree. But this much is true
whoever their immediate friends are, not a
delegate can be nominated outside of New
York City and Brooklyn who is not, above
all else, for Blaine, first, last and all the
time. To speak plainly-I mean that New
York is for Blaine. He must run next fall,
for we cannot take chances on the wear and
tear that four more years would add to a
man of Blaine's age. He is now in the
ripest mental development, and his friends
are determined that he shall have oppor-
tunity to make what we believe nature has
fitted him for-one of the greatest Presi-
dents this country has ever seen."
