He now has a force on this side Of the

Wilson's Meeting Ut Snohomish.

TACOMA, Sept. 23-fSpecfal Now that
the Republicans of the county begin to
fully appreciate the role which Nelson
Bennett and the Ledger, his paper. are as
Stunning IN order to defeat if possible the
Republican ticket. the feeling is growing
more bitter toward them. The Ledger was
thought disloysl enough to refuse to sup
port the ticket, but now that Mr.. Bennett
is aiding the Democrats, the feeling to-
ward him and his paper and his two dozen
Mugwumps is far from cordial.
The Republicans of Pierce county will
hold their convention October S. Of
course, it is not now known who will be
nominated. Still, Mr.. Bennett has already
announced his intention to fight the
ticket. While this is the Mugwump
declaration, Mr.. Benefits little band of
enthusiasts are catching at straws in the
hope of securing control of the Republican
convention.
Republicans of Pierce county are elated
every day or two by one or more of the
little Mugwump band coming to his senses
and simultaneously reporting for duty in
the Republican ranks. Reclaimed apos-
tates are furious in denouncing the Mug
wump leader. At the present rate Mr..
Bennett, Mr.. Clement. president, and Mr..
Titlow, secretary, of the Mugwump band,
will stand alone.
Mr.. Bennett had a couple of admirers at
Puyallup. Col. Eddy went down to
Puyuilup the other night and spoke. Some
light was thrown where Mugwump ideas
had reflected dark lines. Seeds Of truth
were dropped in fertile soil. and the two
Puyallup men who had been tainted with
Mugwump virus have turned against Mr..
BENEFITS secret organization. 1t was for
tunate for them that they got under cover
before the Puyallup Commerce in its last
issue ridiculed Mr.. Bennett and his un.
worthy cause.
Those who were nominally with Mr..
Bennett two months ago, are coming into
line. Several of his ablest supporters
today faced about and bolted for the Re-
publican headquarters. From all parts of
the county reports are coming to the Re-
publican county headquarters. "Those
reports" Manager Taylor, of the county
campaign, said to-day, ''are very encour-
aging. Men who were attracted by Mr..
Bennett and the Ledgcr's course two weeks
ago are now anxious to get in and help
pull things through and elect the ticket. !"
On Monday the Republican league
will hold special meeting. and be-
side routine business will arrange
for organization Of the several fam
beau clubs and other marching
clubs. Tuesday the precinct clubs
will be organized. and on the same even
ing Col. Eddy will speak at Spanaway
Lake. Friday night there will be meet
ing of precinct clubs in this city at the
league headquarters.
Tomorrow evening Col. Eddy will
address Republican mass meeting to be
held at the corner of Pacific and Puyallup
avenues.

TACOMA, Sept. 23.-[Special. l-Mr. Dirk
Blaauw, the editor and publisher of
the Tacoma Tidende, which he claims
is the only Republican paper pub
lished in Tacoma, says he bas been
insulted by some of the stockholders
in his paper "because he, as Republican
and one of the delegates who accepted the
Republican platform in Olympia, would
not work against it," Mr. Baauw says
that none of the stockholders age able to
make him work against the. platform or
any Republican candidate the party may
think fit for any position on she state
ticket. This is singing slap iis the face
for the coterie of Republican h.llters in
Tacoma, by whom, Mr.. Blaauw says. the
Tldende cannot be bought. He owns a
majority of the 7idende stock while
twenty-seven others own the balance. If
he is insulted again he promises to make
some interesting disclosures. Mr.. Blaauw
says he is rich enough to run his paper,
and no Tacoma millionaire can snfluence
him.

The Canadian Pacific.

1t is now learned that the Canadian Pa
cific Railway Company declines to enter
into an agreement with the government
for the fast line Atlantic Steamship Com
pany between Canada and Great Britain
for a longer period than ten years. In
addition to an annual subsidy in the
neighborhood of three-quarters of a mil
lion dollars, which the company is ask
ing, it is demanding transfer of the In
tercolonial Railway from the government
toithe c. P. r. It is pointed out that
with the free title to the Intercolonial
the Canadian Pacific management could
float bonds for an amount largely in ex-
cess of what its steamers for the fast line
service would cost it, and, while the gov
eminent would have no guarantee that
the service would be continued after ten
years, the latter would find it at the ex-
piration of that term without the rail
way, and possibly the Canadian Pacific
folks refusing to renew the charter.

Mr.. Thomas was in the retail dry goods
business. Later he built up whole
sale trade in the same business. It later
years he was engaged also in navigation.
In his various pursuits he has always
been very successful, accommodating a
large fortune. Mr.. Thomas is one of the
heaviest real estate owners in Portland,
his business blocks and houses being
scattered over the whole city. He was u
real estate owner as long ago as the great
fire, and lost heavily in that conhagra-
ton.
In politics Mr.. Thomas has represent
ed the city at Augusta; but he will be
longest remembered as the first war
mayor of Portland, serving the first two
years of TIE war; He was intense in his
devotion to the Union; and was very
active on the patriotic side. He was
frequently in Washington in consultation
with the authorities, and became close
friend or Secretary of War Stanton. Sub
sequently he named block on Exchange

Fish Arrivals.

These arrivals were recorded Saturday:
Schooner Sentinel brought 25OO; supe-
rior, 1000; Edith Thompson, 1900; j. c.
Jameson, 1000; Awilda Morse, 5000; Ma
ry E. Hagan, 300; Emma Clifton, 5000;
Louisa Nelson, 10000 pounds mixed fish !;
Emma, 10000 Holsters; Annie Sargent,
5000.
The fishing season is near it's close.
Late arrivals from the fleet brought in
small fares, and vessels are hauling up.
A Provincetown vessel is reported to
have caught 200 barrels of mackerel off
Gay Head on Thursday, which confirms
the statement early in the week that
schools were seen in the vicinity of
Block Island. These probably are por
ton of the fish which struck into Cape
Cod Bay last week, and which are work
ing their way south to winter quarters.
Advioes received yesterday from the
North Bay fleet to November l, state
that the vessels had very few fish. Five
vessels reported, one with so barrels, two
with 40, one with II, and one with II
barrels. This for several weeks work is
a poor showing. The catch landed to
date is al, 1856 barrels, and the indications
are that the total for the season will not
go over $4,000 barrels. Rough weather
all around the provinces has virtually
stopped fishing in that direction.
