NEWS OF RAILROADS.
Interstate Commerce Commits
sioners Arrive in Seattle.
THE BALLARD DISPUTE SETTLED.
Superintendent Nadeau I'm Charge Of the
Lake shore Road-Coal Bunk
ers at Anacortes.

Hon. w. r. Morrison, of Illinois, Hon.
w. L. Bragg, of Washington City, mem
bers of the interstate commerce commits
sion, were in the city yesterday. They
took luncheon at the Rainier hotel and
spent the afternoon in looking over the
various places of interest in Seattle. In
the evening they went down to Tacoma.
They were accompanied by Judge John
NJ. Thurston, of Omaha, one of the most
prominent Republicans in the country,
and by Mr.. L. S. Wilson, also of Omaha.
Judge John Mellen Thurston was born
in Montpelier, VT, August q, 1s47. In
1854 his family removed to Madison, and
two years later to Beaver Dam, Wis.
He was graduated at Wayland uniyer-
sity in 1867, studied law, was
admitted to the bar in 1869 and the same
year moved to Omaha. He was appointed
city attorney in 1874, and while holding
that office was elected in 1875 to the legis-
lature in which he acted as chairman OF
the judiciary committee. He resigned the
attorneyship In 1877 to become assistant
attorney of the Union Pacific Railroad
Company, of which he was made general
attorney in 1888. In 1875 he was defeated
as candidate for the district judgeship.
He was a presidential elector in 1880, and
in 1884 chairman of the state delegation to
the National Republican convention. He
was again at the head of the delegation in
1888 and was selected by the convention at
Chicago for temporary chairman. His
brilliant address in calling that body to
order won him national reputation as an
orator.
Hon. William Rails Morrison's name is
known from one end of the country to
the other in connection with his famous
tariff bill of few years ago. He was
born in Monroe county, Illinois, Septem-
Der IA, 1926. He was educated at McKen-
dree college, served as private in the
Mexican war, and subsequently studied
law and was admitted to the bar. He was
clerk of Monroe county from 1852 to 1856,
served in the legislature for the next three
years, and was speaker of the house In
1859. At the beginning Of the civil war he
organized the Forty-ninth Illinois regi-
ment and went to the front, but was
wounded at Fort Donelson. While in
command of that regiment in the field, he
was elected to congress as Democrat, and
served in 1865, but was defeated
for the Thirty-ninth and Fortieth con-
crosses. He was chosen again in 1872,
serving from 1873 till 1887, and in 1875
was chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee. In 1856 he was an unsuccessful
candidate for reelection. He was a dele
gate to the national union convention in
1866, and to the New York Democratic
convention in 1868. In March, 1887, Presi-
dent Cleveland appointed him member
of the interstate commerce commission to
serve for period of five years.

MMAHoN's CIRCUS.
Tho Tented Aggregation Enthusiastic
ally Welcomed Here.


There was big crowd at the McMahcn
circus at the corner of Eleventh and How
ell streets yesterday, and notwithstand-
ing the common reputation of this great
tent attraction, to-wit, that it is "regu-
lar old-fashioned circus, with the clown
thrown in" quite number of new feat
ures of interest were presented to the APP
preciative multitude. "Jo-Jo," the Rus
sian dog-faced boy, is a popular curiosity.
He is called dog-faced on account of the
peculiar phenomenon of his face being
covered by hair, which scientists have
pronounced canine. There are several
European and Continental celebrities in
the aggregation of circus talent. One of
the most remarkable freaks is from the
Antipodes, "Unzie," a man whose COM
plexion is as fair as any Caucasian lady's,
but whose parents were of the sable hue
characteristic of their race. "Unzie" was
taken to Europe by Sir William Russell,
and educated, and is now a philosopher, a
cultured gentleman, and musician. In
the animal line this circus carries Queen
Jumbo" the relict of the famous ele-
plant which met his death by colliding
with railroad train. "Queen Jumbo" is
said to be the largest mastodon now cap
tive. Performances will be given this
afternoon and evening, also tomorrow.
This is the return engagement of the show
here

last year. It Is estimated the wheat crop
viii reach %, 900. 900 of bushels this year.
Inc railroads promise to have sufficient
roiilng stock to prevent blockade.
The interstate commerce commission
has been In session in Spokane for the past
week. The general sentiment is that Spo-
kane Will get considerable reduction in
rates. We might get terminal rates. The
commission is composed of some very able
and conservative men. With terminal
facilities Spokane can reasonably expect
an almost immediate revival of CONNER
cial prosperity.
IN regard to state and local politics
II is rather early to anticipate the result of
next years conventions The Republican
party VIII win if it makes platform of
principles which correctly represent the
purposes for which it exists. and places
upon That platform ticket every name on
winch Will of itself be a guarantee to the
people OF official integrity and ability.
AS to national politics it is my opinion
that PRESIDENT Harrison will be nominated
oy reclamation. He has given the coun-
try an honest, patriotic and Thoroughly
clean administration.
what do think about that alleged
tnlrd party recently launched at Cincin-
natl As laboring man who has no in
come except what he earns from day to
oay' ana as poor man who has no prop
erty worth speaking of, and as a money
borrower who likes cheap money. / read
with great interest the proceedings of that
convention, and | was astounded to
ma That the platform provides that all
the money in the country shall be
MADE by the government to be loaned to
property holders at per cent. per annum,
10 be by these property holders re-loaned
to US fellows VINO have no property at cur
rent rates, say IL per cent. per month. I
think if had been in that convention
should have proposed a substitute for that
plank in the platform. which shonld have
provided that an oath of insolvency should
accompany each application for money,
limiting the loans entirely to the men who
have no property; to be by them re-loaned
on property at high rates. At least that
is what would have done if had desired
to benefit the poorer classes. The Gin
clnnati platform is no more nor less than
proposition to create a property holding
aristocracy with exclusive banking privi-
lege."
who do you understand to be candi-
dates for governor of Washington"
well, l have heard the names of the
Hon. John r. Kinnear, DR.. Calhoun, Hon.
Henry Long, Hon. Walter Thompson,
Hon. Thomas Smith, of Whitman, and
Hon. John L. Wilson, of Spokane, and l
believe that they may be said to be candi-
dates. l do not use the word candidates
in any offensive sense.
at seems to me that the road to Repub-
lican victory lies first in unifying and
harmonizing Republican factions rather
than in forecasting the personal fortunes
OF individuals and their chances for NOM
nations, because after all is said, as bad as
some things may look at present in the
Republican skies, the outlook which DEM
ocratic ascendency presents is not inviting
even by comparison

The Mexican Plateau.
Frank G. Carnenter.

The Mexican plateau is not. however,
by any means all green. There are vast
deserts like those of Arizona and Nevada,
and in coming here through the great
state of Chihuahua, on the Mexican Gen.
trail railroad, / travelled for two days
through binding blaze Of dusty sand, in
which the only green thing was the cac-
tus. which grows there in all its beauty
and in all its ugliness. These deserts are
in some places fit for grazing, and Mexi-
cans tell me that on them are to be the
great cattle-raising grounds of the
future Vast tracts of them will
be redeemed by irrigation, and
thousands of acres have already been re-
claimed. The land, when irrigated, makes
splendid cotton ground, and one tract pro-
duced 81, 000 bales last year. A number Of
new companies are now being formed and
Americans are largely interested in them.
The low lands which slope from the
plateau down to the coast do not need irri-
ton They have an immense rainfall
during the rainy season, and vegetation
grows as rank as that Of the jungles Of
India

THE ZIG TREE.
Exhibit for Chicago to Arrive In Seattle
Today.

Today.
The big tree for the Chicago World
fair is on its way to the city from North
Bend and will arrive today. 1t will be on
exhibition here for several days. probably
at the foot of Columbia street. This log,
which has been hewn, is four feet square
and liz feet long. 1t has been gotten out
near North Bend by Jose Il Son for d.
Soper and some other Chicago men, who
hope to sell the stick ultimately and thus
reimburse themselves. There is a pro-
posal to name this monster of the forest
"Seattle."
In order to get the log, which weighs
about fifty tons, it was necessary to build
half mile of track through the woods. The
cost of getting it on the cars at North
Bend was about 5000, and some 81 500 more
will be spent in getting it to Chicago.
The Pabst Brewing Company talks of
buying this stick for bar. and an esti-
mate has been made that during the fair
the company could sell over it 100000
glasses of beer at five cents a glass-S50,
900 worth in all.
