that AGREEMENT
The q. T. and Great Northern May Build
the Seattle Branch.

The u. p. and Great Northern May Build
the Seattle Branch.
In reference to the extension of the
Union Pacific from Portland to Seattle,
Mr.. Pusey, a Union Pacific conductor,
said:
81 have, of course, no official connec
ton with the road, and l can speak only
as an outsider. My understanding Is that
Gould was not wholly satisfied with the
route and other arrangements were made
for the extension by Adams, and o he
is trying to make some plan which will
serve the end better. Personally l have
no doubt that some basis of agreement
will be reached by which the Union
Pacific and the Great Northern will join
their forces In this extension"
THAT AGREEMENT.
Says Col. j.. j. McCook concerning the
agreement: "Yes, there is a decided diff
ference between Hill of the Great North
ern and Willard of the Northern Pacific.
1t appears that Mr.. Adams, when presi-
dent of the Union Pacific, agreed with
President Hill to share equally the eX-
pense of paralleling the Northern Pa
citic from Portland to Seattle. President
Hill has plenty of money to complete his
Great Northern to the coast, and you can
see that this will cut into the Northern
Pacific territory. A good-sized row is
brewing in consequence, for the parallel
ing has been pushed so rapidly that the
work cannot be undone. Mr.. Willard has
a grievance against Jay Gould for con-
tinuing the work begun by Mr.. Adams.
The end of the business must be that a
gigantic stock company will be formed to
control all the western lines in the same
way the Pennsylvania company controls
the lines west of Pittsburg. Harmony
cannot come until this is done. 1t is i'm.
material what line takes the traffic to or
from the Pacific coast. There is no pos
sible legal objection to this plan. 1t also
must include the Canadian Pacific"
"The latest report from other sources is
to the effect that an independent line will
be built without regard to the agreement
with the Great Northern. Difficulties
have arisen about the route which seem
incapable of settlement, the Union Pa
clfic being unwilling to give up the route
selected, while the Great North
ern desires a more direct and less costly
one. The subsidies secured by the
Union Pacific are also an inducement t
II to continue work independently,
as they are chiefly on the part of
the road which it had been agreed that
the Great NOrthern shOuld huiId"

none of his outer clothing is missing. He
disappeared at six o'clock in the morn

Wyman creek flows into Logging creek
from the north or northwest, about eigh,
miles from Belt creek. Near the head Of
Wyman creek the mountains are covered
with float and the showing on the surface
indicates that the country Is rich N min
eral. Early in 1890 Kid Merritt and Frank
Wyman made some discoveries In this
region and brought out some samples of
ore which caused q stampede to that
country. They found four leads or bodies
of ore and were careful to make as many
locations before making the discovery
known. Later they returned and did a
little work on each claim, finding ore
from the surface on all as far as they
ven down 8 or 10 feet in several places,
however, merely desiring to prospect
their claims and determine their value.
The mountains here are very precipitous,
and, 10 the language of the prOspectOr,
are all burnt up. Thai is, they appear to
have been recently thrown up, and the
evidence of the terrible heat Is plainly
visible. Merritt l. Wyman located the

Merritt and Wyman claims in such a
manner that a tunnel, for which there is
an excellent site, may be run and all the
claims worked from it. The excellent
showings have attracted some of
Montana's mining experts. A bond of
$50, 1000 was offered last summer on this
group, but the boys did not like the con-
ditions and 1t was refused. It Is under

NO SOLACE FOR REBELS.
PEDRO MONTHS MISSION TO WASH
INGTON A FAILURE.
ENJOYS of the Chilean Insurgents Will
Not Be Received in Any Capacity by
Officers of the Government.

WASHINGTON, June 29.-Don Pedro
Montt, the Chilean congressional envoy,
has allowed another day to pass without
bis appearance at the executive mansion
s,r departmentD of state. It now begins
koaappeaa that the mission with wiifcfr
Montt and his associates are charged is
failure, in so far as their official recog-
milton by the United States government
is concerned, and it is improbable that
they will be received in any capacity,
either officially or unoficially, by any
executive officer of this government.
A person well versed in diplomatic
practices, and thoroughly acquainted
with the history of the department of
state, this afternoon said the reason for
the adoption of this course by our gov
ernment was broader than any of the
questions involved in the present case,
and was founded upon uniform line OF
precedents running back to the date of
our civil war.
Early in the history of the rebellion
the cOnfederacy sent representatives to
London and Paris to secure recognition
for their cause. Mr.. Seward, then Sec
retary OF state, promptly instructed
Messrs. Adams and Dayton, United
States ministers to Great Britain and
France, that the reception of those con-
federate agents, either officially or pri-
vately, would be regarded by the United
States as case for breaking off
diplomatic relations. Further than this,
Mr.. Seward refused to receive a joint
note of the British and French minis
ters referring to the state of civil war in
the United States, and undertaking that
their governments should act only as
neutrals. The secretary's reioinder to
this last statement, was that the gov
ernments could only act as friends OF
the United States. Later on Seward
refused to hold any intercourse with
Emperor Maximilian, then striving to
establish his empire in Mexico, or even
to receive from him letter of condol-
ence ON the death of President Lincoln.
So it has been the uniform custom of
the United States government, and a
custom which will not, in the Judgment
of diplomats, be broken in the case of
the Chilean insurgents-to refuse to
recognize revolutionary movements in
American republics. 1t is said in diplo-
matte circles that this custom is found
ed upon good policy and tends to con-
serve American interests.

DOWN WITH BOSS QUAY.
PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICANS
TIRED OF BOSS RULE.
Respectable Members of the Party De-
mand Quay's Instant Retirement From
the Place He Has Disgraced.

PHILADELPHIA, June 29.-An address
to the citizens of Pennsylvania, signed
by Rudolph Blankerburg, John T. Bal
ley, George Wharton Pepper, George
Bernham, Charles Heber Clark, Rev.
Sterhna- W -nana, r2a~-- -xu--nr-aIsNi~l--
ar, John II. Converse, Rev. Charles
Wood, Rev. S. D. Mcconnell and 1876
others, was made public this evening.
The signers speak "as Pennsylvanians
and Republicans" !" and their action is a
protest against Senator Quay being lon
ger the controlling factor in the forces Of
the state. The statement is made that
political methods in the state are now
corrupt, in sharp contrast to the disposi
tion of the rank and file of the party.
The leadership is affirmed to be COM
pletely within Senator Quay absolute
in its control, unscrupulous inlits meth
ods and disastrous in its results"
The public record of Senator Quay is
dwelt upon. The paper says; "Mr. Quay
is mainly responsible for the overwhelm-
ing disaster which befell the Republican
party in this state last autumn. 1t
might bessupposed that the leader who
inflicted such an injury on his party,
and to whom it had given so overwhelm-
ing evidence of lack of confidence in
him, would have retired from public
prominence. Mr.. Quay, however, con-
tented himself with an elaborated de-
fence of his record before the United
States senate. This was both untimely
and inconclusive.'
Quay's lieutenants in the legislature
are charged with committing stupid
political blunders by hostility to the
ballot reform bill, and with having
violated the express charges of the
party and openly defed the will of an
overwhelming majority OF their constit-
uents.
The address continues: "There is
fundamental fallacy in the theory of
politics which has for years obtained in
this state, and OF which Mr.. Quay has
been the leading exponent. 1t is that
public offices are spoils-the lawful
property of the politicians who capture
them, and by whom they are dis
pensed in turn to their underlings as a
prize OF war. The disaster of looted
treasury is explained by the fact that
the step from this fallacv to the start
ling and bold appropriation of public
funds to the private uses of public Off
GERS. is long one in appearance only,
not in reality. The party will soon be
called upon to nominate state and
city treasurer and an attorney-general.
The nominations must be given
to honest men or the party will meet
another defeat. In the presence OF these
facts, the Pennsylvania Republicans
must not hesitate. 1t is crisis and
can only be met by the retirement OF
Mr.. Quay. More competent and worthy
leadership is necessary, and an unflinch-
ing demand must be made for the re-
tirement of these men from the places
which they have disgraced.

merous Fires in California
SAN RAFAEL, June 29.--The eastern
slope of Mount Tamalpais, on which are
many magnificent summer homes, was
reported on fire this afternoon. The

started out to fight the flames. The fire
started on Barber's ranch, and burned
about sixty acres of hay. The flames
spread rapidly to J. G. Kittle's grounds,
which were soon a mass of
flames. The fire has gained consid-
erable headway, but the Barber and
Kittle residences are out OF danger.
The Bill Williams gulch, two miles from
Ross station, is on fire and the flames
are running up the side of the noun
tain. The fire now covers 1000 acres.
The cracking Of the flames can be heard
a mile distant, and the air is full OF Gin
ders and ashes. The fire has spread to
the south, and is now rapidly approach
ing the magnificent residence OF A. E.
Kent. One hundred men are fighting
the fire, but it is thought it cannot be
extinguished within eight hours. An
other brush fire started east of town,
near the Hotel Rafael, and fifty acres OF
eucalyptus trees are in flames. The
whole town turned out to fight this fire,
but as there was no water, had to fight
it with branches and sacks.
CORNING, CAL, June 29.-Fire started
at noon today in grain field of II. @.
Wilson, near Corning, and burned one
hundred acres of barley, which aver
aged fifteen sacks to the acre. 1t was

TIN-PLATE MAKING.
Nothing to Prevent its Manufacture in

Nothing to Prevent its Manufacture in
America.
LONDON, June 29.-The Times today,
referring to the fact that sixty delegates
from the tin-plate working districts of
Wales are going to the United States in
order to inquire into the prospects of
profitable employment there, and to the
statement made that American agents
are in London buying improvements in
tin machines, as we'll as offering double
wages to tin-plate workers, says:
"Should the delegates report favorably
upon the prospects for tin-plate workers
in the United States, it is not
unlikely that there will be SO
large an exodus to America
as to lead to great portion Of the trade
hitherto monopolized by Wales being
transferred to America. Hitherto the
idea has been that it was impossible to
manufacture tin plate in America, owing
to atmospheric conditions, but the tin
plate makers Who accompanied the iron
and steel institute delegates to America
reported that there was nothing except
want of skilled labor to prevent the sue
cessful manufacture Of tin plate in Amer
ica.'
