F. c. TODD IN ST. PAUL
Interesting Interview with a Pioneer
Press Reporter

Mr.. +. c. Todd, for years prominently

ground over thoroughly, and have satls-

OF the heaviest steel rails are now being
unloaded at Fairhaven, and much OF the
preliminary construction work has al

will only make a fair start. One electric

are that we shall soon occupy the whole

Whatcom, now having a total population
OF about 2O,OOO. These towns lie side by
side along one Of the most beautiful and
Il perfect harbors In the world. Originally
there were four small towns, all clustered
| around the bay within three miles. Fair
haven and New Whatcom have swallowed
up the others. and now they are practi'
cally one city, and doubtless will soon b.
consolidated under one name. Tn,

AN INTERNATIONAL DISPUTE
Watched with Interest by Secretar,
Blaine

WASHINGTON, June 12-The Post, this
morning, prints another series of articles
on foreign affairs, relating principally to
the attitude of the United States in the
matter of the dispute between Great
Britain and Venezuela. The Post, today.
in speaking Of visit Of the Venezuelan
corn missioner, DIR. Pulido, TO Blaine, SAYS:
''The Post is now enabled TO state posi-
lively and unequivocally that when DR..
Lucio Pulido, Venezuelan commissioner,
who lately visited London In the vain
hope of settling dispute, called upon
Secretary Blaine In this city, he received
from that gentleman assurance as even
more substantial In their character than
those previously hinted at In these col
umns. Secretary Blaine expressed TO DIR
Pulido the deep interest which the United
States felt in the settlement OF this
boundary question. In this declaration
the secretary simply followed in the foot
steps of his predecessors, but he wen

Cricketers Coming North

SAN FRANCISCO, June 12-Chances Of
the British Columbian trip being made by
our local cricketers, in August, are de-
cidedly favorable. The California cricket
association has taken the matter ylgor-
ously in hand, and is actively pushing the
preliminary preparations.
A letter asking for fuller particul lars as
to proposals of the Britith Columbia
cricketers has been addressed to the sec
retary OF the Victorian association, and
an answer is expected within one week.
II this is of a satisfactory character the
arrangements will be perfected as soon as
possible. About seven Of our best local
cricketers have already expressed their
ability and willingness to make the trip.

Mrs. Gordon Cumming ostracised

New YORK, June 12-The Herald OF this
morning says: We have been requested by
one Of the Garners, whose action has the
approval of the whole family, to print the
following statement:
Several papers have published, by mis-
take. that one of Miss Florence Garner IS
(now Lady Gordon Cumming) sisters was
present at her marriage. The eldest, the
Marquse de Bretfule, is at present in New
York with her husband. The youngest
one, Miss Edith Garner, is at Vienna with
her aunt, Mrs. Lawrence.
THE family wish to rectify this mistake
and also TO state that no one Of Miss Car
ner's relatives was present at her mar
riage. 1t Is needless TO add that being OF
age she took this trip against the wishes
OF her entire family"
The meaning of this more than startling
announcement is at once apparent. From
| IL, 1t Is evident that absolute social ostra-
clsement is the penalty which the young
wife Is 10 pay. Nothing else; III IS
social pronunciameBto from which ther'
| can be no appeal.

DISSATISFACTION AT SAMOA
Movement to Unseat Malietoa and Put
Mata aafa ON the Throne

SAN Francisco, June 12-Samoan ad-
vices by the steamer Mariposa, state that
considerable agitation Is going on among
the natives of some of Che islands, with a
view to unseating Malietoa and putting
Mataafa on the throne. The workings of
the Berlin treaty is also stated to be a
source Of much dissatisfaction among the
islanders.
Another cause of complaint was the
action of Baron Won Pilsach, president of
the municipal council, in creating dozen
new offices when he took charge Of munic-
ipal affairs.
The brig Sea Wave left Apia, May fst,
with a cargo of wreckage from the vessels
sunk In the hurricane OF March, 1889, and

THE STRIKERS WIN
Laborers at Work, and No Further
Trouble Anticipated

Contrary to expectations the strike of
street laborers was settled yesterday
morning, the contractors concedlng to
every demand made by the workingmen.
The men will now be paid 81 per day, viii
be allowed to board where they please,
and will receive their pay in coin every
two weeks.
The situation Thursday gave very little
promise OF such speedy settlement, and
it looked as If IL would be a long aud
bitter struggle, but all this was happily
averted by the decision Of Mr.. Dougan,
receiver of the Mckenzie avenue con
tract.
No work is being done on the improve
ment of Bennett avenue, as Mr.. A. L.
Mccoy, the contractor, has not yet re-
turned to the city. He is expected to ar
rive today or tomorrow morning, when a
settlement will doubtless be reached.

SIX cents might be the ruling price. Since
that time there have been heavy rains, fol-
