WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.
WASHINGTON, d. c., April 90.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 20.
Senator Sherman is in town,
and many are the ruses that have
been tried for the purpose of get
ting an authoritive statement from
him as to his future political in
tention, but no one has yet sue
ceeded in drawing him out. A gen.
tleman close to him personally and
politically, and who probably
knows, if anybody does, said to
me: "Mr. Sherman isn't ready to
talk yet and those acquainted with
him know how useless it is for
any body to try to persuade him to
do so until he is. But you may
be certain that when the proper
time comes the people of Ohio
will be told whether he wishes to
be reelected to the Senate; John
Sherman never travels under
false pretenses, and never hesitates
to ask in q manly and open man
ner for the political support of
his constituents when he desires
it." It is the opinion of all the
prominent republicans with whom
L have talked, among them sever
al Ohio men, that Mr.. Sherman
will be a candidate for the re-elect-
ion to the Senate. and that also is
my own impression.
The subject of countefeiting Unit
ed States currency is assuming
grave proportions and the officials
of the Treasury Department are
just at presents giving considerable
time to studying it, in the hope Of
discovering a remedy or prevent
ative. The chief engraver of the
Bureau of Engraving aud Print
ing, who is away up as an expert,
spent an hour in examining two
S2 silver certificates, one genuine
and the other countefeit, with a
powerful magnifying glass and
his verdict was that there was
not the slightest difference be-
tween the two notes. New inven-
tions in Photo-me chanical pro-
cesses have made it easy and cheap
for the counterfeiters to repro
duce on metal plate every line
of note and after little etching
it Is an exact duplicate of the steel
plate from which the note was
originally printed and which it
had taken months to engrave.
The color in the red seals and
the greenbacks was once a
protection, but late discoveries in
in photochromy makes it easy to
reproduce the precise shades.
The chief of the Secret Service in
his last annual report says on
this subject: "The genuine gov
ernment notes nowadays, especial.
ly the series of 1890, are marvels
of the engraving art aided by the
wonderful geometric lathe. One
would think it impossible to sue
cessfully counterfeit such work
upon looking over the complex
area of lines and patterns: and
yet at this moment counterfeiters
are reproducing it SO perfectly
that the elaborate beauty of this
paper money may be said to offer
no protection to the public or de-
fense against fraud.
The only way the expert has of
detecting this skillfully executed
conterfeit is by the paper and
that has been Sc well initiated
that no one but an expert can tell
it from the genuine. So that
really about the only protection
the public has against counter.
feiting is the vigilance of the
Treasury Secret Service.

Here Kisses, contradictions and
general disorder compelled me to
desist. TIE public speaker who
will not do violence to his convic-
tions, often suffer such indignities.
The Democrats were very bitter in
denunciation of my remarks. The
average Democrat Is a touching
picture of loyalty to his idol any
how. [ think the Radicals rather
enjoyed my undisguised English,
if they did not altogether indorse
my views. Radical is tho appella-
ton l generally bestow upon q
member of the party, except IN my
letters to the GRAPHIC, in which it
seems a little more like Roman
ism in Rome to write it Republi-
can. No Alliance organization was
effected at the Buckeye school
house-some said because of my
harangue. The Multum present
said afterwards that he had al
ways thought Mossback a harm
less idiot before. To this day he
believes his majority would have
been larger, but for my eloquence.

NEW MAIL SCHEDULE
Postal Changes to Conform to
New Railroad Cards.
CHANGES ON o. |. co.'s LINES.
Three Lines Conform to the Northern
Pacific-Lumbermen Discouraged
Over the Rate Question.

The change in the time schedules on the diff
ferent railroads leading out Of Seattle has
nccessitated a new arrangement OF the mails in
the Seattle postoffice. Mails close at the post
office just one hour before the departure OF the
trains. The Eastern mail which now leaves at
Isl in tie afternoon VIII after today leave at
6.45 in the morning. The mail for Waila WaIla
and points or the Oregon & Washington
Territory railroad which now leaves at
$50 a. m. will hereafter close ct
6.45 a. m For Portland and the South
mails will close at Sis a II. aud p. m, instead
OF at P. m. as at present Olympia mails will
close az 5:l5 a. n. and D. m, ami Montesano
and Gray's harbor mails at 5:l5 q. IN.
At present the last named mail mas to lie over
night in Tacoma, but the change gives a
through mail, starting in time to catch the
morning papers.
Il is not known at the postoffce yet which of
the six daily trains to Tacoma will carry the
mail, but there will be three mails a day each
way between Seattle and Tacoma.
By the new schedule mails arriving from st.
Paul at go a. N. viii! be delivered at IL 10
downtown places, aud at in the afternoon 70
the districts where carriers only make two trips
day. Portland and southern mail that arrives
al 1905 a. M ana $40 r. m. will be delivered at
Il d. m and at S a. m Olympic mail arriving at
Ills ?. N. will catch the O'Clock delivery, and
the Tacoma mails will be disposed OF with equal
dispatch.
II will require week or more TO get the mails
running again with their accustomed regular
ity, for changes in time always upset the smooth
arrangement OF the office. As the mails are not
running very heavy al the present time, how
ever. there is no danger OF any delay or serious
trouble in handling them.

Do Not Think the Northern Pacific Is
Giving Them a Fair Rate.

TACOMA Oct. 3o.-(Special l-Secretary pro
tenn Frank b. Cole, OF the Washington Lum-
bermens Association, who was present at the
meeting yesterday with Henry Willard, and who
discussed the situation with the lumbermen
present, said today to the correspondent of the
PosT-INTELLIGENCER:
The lumbermen feel considerably discouraged
over the refusal OF Mr.. Willard TO agree 10
duction of rates on lumber to transcontinental
points They feel that il is not just 10 include
in the cost of carrying freight all the different
classihcatons, the local business and the traffic
tens operated ut loss. The estimate made by
Mr.. Willard that ii costs nine-tenths of
cent per mile to move q ton OF freight
on the Northern Pacific, shown by the booss
OF the company, includes everything from
feathers 10 pig iron, some of this freight bring
ing a double hrst-claSs rate. An ex-frelght
agent OF Eastern railway makes the state
ment that lumber is hauled at a cost not exceed
ing one-quarter OF n cent ton per mile. The
general feeling of the lumbermen is that the
agitation Will bear iruit later on. and the idea
is &C vanced that the Northern Pacific Will, to
steal Jim Hills thunder, reduce the rate before
the advent OF the Great Northern into the Puget
Sound district. There is a cut of nearly l,0O0
001000 feet annually that should go East by
rail If this could be shipped there would not
be "a wave of trouble rol. across the peaceful
breast OF any Washington lumbermeu."
Mr.. Cole is receiving many lette rs from the
best millmen in the state who will be in attend
auce at the lumbermens meeting in Seattle. No
vember II. Portland lumbermeu are also con-
templatng attending, as they realize the neces-
sity OF regularity OF grading for Pacific Coast

THERE WAS NO CONSPIRACY.
West Street Line Makes Sweeping
Changes in Carmen.

SIX conductors on the West street 4. North
End Electric Railway have been let out during
the past week, and their positions have been
filed by new men. Two fremen at the power
house have also been replaced by other men.
The changes have been made by the new mana
ger 6. l. ohutfieton, who assumed his position a
week ago.
Mr.. d. II Gilman, president OF the company,
says that there IS no truth in the report that
the men had entered into conspir-
acy to tie up the road. The story told
by one OF the employees is that the con-
ductors and motormen became dissatisfied
with reduction in pap and an increase in
hours, aud threatened u strike. The men az
the power house sympathized with them and
entered into a conspiracy 10 pnt out the fires
waeu the cars had ali been run in by striking
motormen, and 10 fix things in such way that
it would seriously disable the road. The men
were all To strike simultaneously. The I'M

Mr.. Gilman said last night when told the
story that that was the first he had heard OF II.
He said that the paw ol the moto-ncn and con-
ductors had not been changed, their number
had not been reduced and their hours OF work
had not been increased He did not believe
there had been any conspiracy and the officers
OF the road certainly did not know of one

BAKING POWDERS.
What the Minnesota State Authorities
Know About Them.


If there is a doubt in anybody's mind as 10 the
quality of the various baking powders of the
market, il will be settled by the evidence given
upon the subject by the state officials OF Mime
sofa. The dairy and food commission and the
state chemist are the highest official authorities
upon such subjects il this state, and their evil
deuce will be accepted as disinterested and uu-
preiudiced 1t is their business TO examine the
quality OF the different food products, and TO
suppress the sale of those found impure and
unwholesome, and all viii admit that they have
performed their duties without fear or favor
At a recent examination by legislative COM
mittee TO determine the qualities of the various
king powders sold in Minnesota, state chemist
and anaiysist to the food and dairy commits
sioner. DR.. Benjamin +. Drew, gave the follow
ing evidence:
Ques.-Dr. Drew, see by the report of the
dairy and food commission OF this state that in
making analysis of the various baking powders
of this country you report as result OF your
work that the Royal Baking Powder contains
ana gives of in baking a greater per cent. of
carbonic acid gas Ceavening gas than any
other baking powder made: is that true?
Ans.-1es, sir, that Is fact.
Ques.-Doctor. you also found from expert
ment that the Royal Baking Powder will keep
longer and retain its qualities better than any
other powder made, did you not?
Ans.-les, sir, think II does.
Ques.-Now, the two most desirable qualities
in baking powder are the amount of carbonie
acid gas II contains ana gives of, and the length
OF time II viii keep, are they not?
Ans-NeS, sir
sessing these qualities, Is the best powder made,
is il not2
Ans-well, that would be the natural conclu-
sion.
Ans-Yes,I think it is. l consider II one OF
the best baking powders made.

A FISHER FOR MEN.
Francis Murphy, the Temper
ance Orator, Here.
WILL SPEAK SUNDAY NIGHT.
His Methods of Work" With Malice
Toward None and Charity Toward
All"-Arrivals.

Francis Murphy, the great temperance orator.
is al the Rainier hotel with his wife. He will
speak at the Armory on sunday night and will
continue his meetings during the week.
Mr.. Murphy's temperance. work has made him
famous all ever the world Born in Ireland in
1896 he came TO this country when he was but
Is years OF age. For two years he worked on
farm, and then he went into the hotel business
in Portland, Ne. At that time he drank liquor
moderately, but he soon went from bad to worse
and became hard drinker.
Alter time he reformed. but he did not begin
to speak on the subject OF temperance until
April, $50. Then he addressed nesting in
Portland, his home. He was very successful
there, and he soon developed remarkable power
as public orator. Thousand flocked to hear
him, and in Portland alone 5000 signed the
pledge. Mr. Murphy-he is often called Father
Murphy though he is not aud never has been
priest-iormed the New England State Reform
League, and afterward continued his lectures in
New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut,
Rhode Island and New York.
His work there was an unbroken series of
triumphs. From New York he went to Illinois,
and then to Ohio in 1879 The yeaI following,
at Pittsburg-which he now considers his home
he induced 600 to sign the Murphy pledge,
and at Philadelphia $500. Through all of the
cites East and West he went, producing the
same magic effect with his powerful pleading
for temperance.
Three years were spent in work in England,
and his words had such power, so many signed
the pledge and kept it, that there was a notice
able falling off in the revenues which the king
dom derived from its tax OF intOxicants.
Mr.. Murphy comes here fresh from a series of
triumphs in Spokane and also the cities OF
Montana.
In speaking OF his methods he said last night:
81 represent no religious sect and no political
party. | do not even come from any temper
ance organization; but believe that the CUES
ton of temperance must be settled by each man
for himself. Ny aim is to appeal TO the man.
hood in everyone. Each of us has his weak
ness; each has his strength, and | want 10 in
duce those who need help to study their own
natures that the strong parts may help the
weaknesses.
There are many in every city, there must be
many here who are handicapped IN the race of
life BY the clog of their own appetites. To
such / come, and to such my words are mainly
directed, for those who are well need no physi.
clan.
II have no words of bitterness or denuncia-
ton for drunkard, and ! hurl no epithets at
the saloon-keeper, but my motto has been and
is, with malice toward none and charity to-
ward all ] wish to appeal to the man himself,
to his better self, and that alone. II he cannot

not help him
Mrs. Murphy is at present confined TO her
room in the hotel by an attack OF the grip.
