who has arrived here, settled authori-
tatively the question of ownership
of the railway line begun last
year between Tacoma and Portland by
the Union Pacific, on which work was
stopped when half finished. He said:
"The line belongs to the Great North
ern and Union Pacific jointly, the for
mer having borne half the expense of
construction. I expect the road viii be
finished next year and used jointly by
the two companies. The Great North
ern's line viii not be complete until it
extends from st. Paul to Puget Sound
and thence south to the Columbia river.
We shall be running through trains to
the sound from st. Paul in eighteen
months. Our line is being built across
the Rocky mountains as fast as men and
money cen push it. From New West
minister, in British Columbia, to the
Columbia river is series of cities which
the Great Northern proposes to wear
like a necklace of pearls. Tacoma win
certainly be ON our main line"

COLLISION AT SEA.

The Arizona CoiiIdes with an Unknown
4 Vessel Latter Instantly Disappears.
Il LoNDoE, Sept. 10. The steamship
ARIZONA of the Gaoin line, which left
Hew York on Saturday, Sept 5, for
Aiyerpool, has arrived at Queenstown in
u battered condition, after a perilous
voyage across the Atlantic. On the
morning of the 9th, while the Arizona
was steaming rapidly in q fog, an un-
known sailing vessel, believed to be a
large coasting schooner, collided with
Hhe Arizona. The shGck was very great
and aroused the passengers from their
beds. For q time the greatest excite
1ment reigned, until it was found that
4he steamer was not, as many feared,
liable to go to the bottom. Search was
made for the colliding steamer, but not
y sign could be seen, nor was a cry
beard. The terrible shock had appar-
fntly crushed the sailing vessel in Il
fwinkling and caused her to founder.
Part of the bows Of the schooner re-
Rnained on the Arizona's deck, and other
swreckage indicated the state of the un-
fortunate mariners. The Arizona's s
machinery had not suffered by the col
fision, and the voyage was pursued at
She usual speed and without further
accident.
Supposed to Have Been the Baird.
i NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-The vessel in
collision with the Arizona was doubtless
the bark Matthew Baird, which vessel
recently sailed from Portland, lumber
laden, for Mayaguez. The Baird put
into Boston Sept. 8, with bows stove in
and hold full of water. Her master re-
ported that she had been in collision with
an unknown steamship bound east. Ac-
cording to the Baird's crew the accident
took place Sept. 5, during a dense
fog. The steamship struck the bark's
bow, carrying all headgear and cutting
the vessel down to three feet below the
water line. The locality is described as
being twenty-five miles north of the
South Shoal lightship. The British ship
Atlanta, which arrived at this port Sat-
rrday, reported sighting steamship in
lat. 42, 12 north, long. SO, 10 west, which
they made out to be the Arizona. This
was Sept. 6.

THE AMOUNT GROWING.

Ten Thousand Cash and q Million In se-
surities Taken From the Tacoma Bank.
SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 15.-The Elk
aminer prints the following story con-
corning the robbery Of the Fidelity
Trust bank at Tacoma by it's secretary,
Edward Albertson, on Aug. "A last: n
was heretofore believed that Albertson
lost only some $9, 900 in speculation, and
surprise was caused by the extraordinary
efforts made to capture him. Itnow ap-
pears that he took $4,000 in cash and
nearly million In securities. Early on
the morning of Aug. "a note was re-
ceived by Paul Schultze, a director OF
the bank, from Albertson, saying he hlst
only a thousand of the money in specu.
lation and to force a compromise had
taken $4,000 more in cash and 5000, ,0OO
in securities. He would meet him OF
one of his representatives in the woods
in designated place and return the So.
curities ii given written agreement
not to prosecute.
A meeting Of the directors was held.
and 1t was agreed to accept a compro-
mise. A man was sent to the rendezvous
with signed agreement not to prose
cute. Instead of Albertson he found one
Chandler, Tacoma gambler, who was
evidently an accomplice. The messenger
gave him the agreement and received
the securities and the combination.
The bank at once commenced extraor.
dinary efforts to capture the thieves. j.
Ahern, cashier of the Fidelity and
brother-in-law of Albertson, was ar.
rested by Detective Sullivan, who con-
fined him in hotel for several days
trying to force confession. The story
got out and Sullivan was forced to
release the prisoner. 1t is believed that
the thieves have escaped.

INADEQUATE SCHOOL FACILITIES.
SEATTLE. Oct. Is. 1891,

SEATTLE, Oct IL, 1891.
To THE EDITOR: The inadequacy of the
school facilities of this city is becoming daily
more apparent. The rapid growth of Seattle
during the past three years neeessitated the
building of large and commodious schools for
the primary and grammar grades, and the peo-
ple showed a most commendable zeal in respond
ing to the call of necessity. At this time we
have as fine lot of graded school buildings as
any city of the same size in the country. But
still the population grows and the present ac-
commodations are becoming too craInped for
convenience or comfort.
On account of the over-crowding of the Gen.
trail school building 1t has been found necessary
to take one of the rooms used by a primary
grade and to go outside the building and rent
temporary quarters for the accommodation of
this overflow. Last Friday the teacher in this
lower grade was compelled to announce to her
scholars that ell who lived outside a certain
boundary would have to report Monday morn
ing at a room on Ike street. This place Is moth
ing but poorly ventilated, badly heated store
room, with the light streaming In through the
front windows, menace to the eyesight ana
the health of every child that Is compelled 10
attend there.
If it is deemed necessary that some scholars
should leave the Central school building in
order to make more room for those that remain,
why should not the High school be moved 10
other quarters? These older students are far
better able to take care oil themselves anu auapt
themselves to new surroundings than children
of the primary grades, and it is more than
likely that much better quarters would be Sc
cured for them. II Ii il thought best TO give
the High school scholars the preference and per-
NIT them to remain in the Central building,
then it is only proper and right that we'll
heated, well-lighted, well-yentilated building
or rooms be secured to insure the comfort and
health OF these young children II the present
quarters were merely temporary, this arrange
ment might be put up with for awhile. But if
not the school board should see to IT that suitable
rooms be found at once near the Central build
ing, and not half mile away from the center
of the school district. At the new room on
Pike street the playground is the street. With
a room near the Central school the pupils could
play on the grounds there during the recesses.
Just now is the time to agita:e the Importance
OF a separate High school building, large and
commodious, such a one as VIII house the
scholars of city of 10000 inhabitants. Agita-
ton will bring about the desired result, we may
be sure. The people have not yet asked in vain
Tor single improvement in the matter of edu-
cational facilities. Nor should they now.
