HE FOUND THE MAN.
An Instance Of Quick Detective Work
hY fha Y. MI. O. A.


The Young Mems Christian Association
will soon be justified in going into the de-
tective business, if it continues to be sue
cessful in finding men wanted in the East.
A letter was received at the postofice
from Simcoe, Ontario, not long ago, in
which inquiry was made concerning the
whereabouts and identity of a certain coll
ored man, who was supposed to be in Olym-
pia. He had left his aunt's home in Sim
eoe when five years of age, and after wan
dering over the western part of the conti-
nent tor twenty years, he wrote her let
ter, in which he limited that he would like
to visit her, but did not have the money.
His aunt, who has considerable property,
became suspicious. She thought it might
be some person acquainted with her
nephew's history, who was trying to get
money from her under false pretenses.
Like sensible woman she consulted her
pastor about the matter. The preacher
took the case in hand and wrote to the
postmaster, asking that inquiry be made
concerning the man, and if found that
certain questions be asked him. If he an
swered them correctly, Of course the ques-
ton OF his identity would be settled at
once.
Postmaster Afilroy turned the letter over
to Rev. T. J. Lamont of the Presbyterian
church. Mr.. Lamont was so occupied with
ObLCl GdIlb lIldblSIo Gl1ttb u6 COu1u lOb
give the inquiry the attention it deserved.
Knowing that it was a part Of the work
of the Young Mems Christian Association
to investigate such matters Mr.. Lamont
handed the letter to General Secretary
Gregg. The letter with all the information
CLEANED, which was far from being salts
factory, was given to nj. l.. Hoke, chair
man Of the committee appointed to look
after cases of this kind i'll connection with
other duties.
Mr.. Hoke went out on cruising expe-
dition'' and in less than thirty minutes
broughtthe man before the general secre-
tary. He was badly frightened, but re-
gained his composure after being assured
that no harm was meant. All the. ques-
tions asked in the letter were frankly
answered. The information thus obtained
was transmitted to the minister and no
doubt ere this, aunt and nephew have ac-
knowledged each other, because the
answers given were satisfactory in every
way. The man about whom Information
was desired has ever since evinced the
most profound respect forthe Young Mems
Christian Association.

SHERMAN ON SEALS.
GREAT BRITAIN is ASKING TOO
MUCH OF THE UNITED STATES.

The Reason why There ShOuld be
no Fishing Pending Arbitration
OF she Behring Sea Matter may
the Difficulty End Peaceably.
WASHINGTON, March 12.- peaking Of
the Behring sea controversy, Senator
Sherman said to an Associated Press re-
porter today: Il regard the treaty now
pending with the highest favor. 1T is hon
orable to both nations. Arbitration ought
to be adopted in every controversy with
two countries bound by SO many ties as
Great Britain and the United States War
or even contention between them for a
cBuse so trivial as one years fishing for
seals would be crime against eiviliza-
ton. It is manifest that it IS the interest
and desire of each to preserve the Alaskan
fisheries from destruction by Canadian
poachers. The eupidity Of 4 few yesse
owners, pending arbitration, threatens to
disturb the peace and amitg of two great
nations. Diplomacy ought to be able to-
provide some modus yiyendi during the
present season.
1t may be unpleasant and angracions for
Great Britain to resist by her ships and
sailors reckless acts OF few of her sub
jects, for whose conduct Lord Salisbury
disclaims all responsibility, but we are
under no such restraint and are able to
prevent such restraint and are able to pre-
vent such poaching on rights that we pur-
chased of Russia, and which Russia and
the United States have openly asserted and
enjoyed for one hundred years. It is now
claimed that by the law Of nations our
title is not good, that seals born and bred
on our soil may be slaughtered in the high
seas, when by the laws Of their nature they
are taking their annual pilgrimage.
We are willing, for the sake of peace, to
to subject this question to arbitration We
only ask that seals may not be destroyed
by pelagic fishing, while the arbitrators
are sitting. We would gladly share with
Great Britain the expense and trouble of
maintaining status quo pending arbitra-
ton, and will faithfully and Ronorably
abide by its result, butit's asking too much
for us at the same time to allow irresponsi-
BILE and untriendly neighbors to destroy
every subject matter of the controversy,
especially when we have at our command
means to prevent it. I do sincerely hope
and trust the executive authorities Of the
two countries will find way to bridge this
diplomatic difficulty.

THE GREAT STRIKE.
1T WAS INAUGURATED IN THE
COAL MINES TODAY.
Forty Thousand Miners stop work
in England Coal is Coming
From BeIginm-The Price of
Fuel Gone up.


From BeIginm-The Price of
Fuel Gone Up.
LONDON, March 12. = The great coal
miners strike was inaugurated today. AT
2 o'clock this afternoon the men en-
ployed in the mines in Lancashire, and
Yorkshire stopped work. The only men
now at work are surface men, bumpers,
yentilators, attendants, etc., who were
not called out. In Durham the mines are
also completely stripped. The number of
miners who had quit work up to Noting
ham was twenty thousand. The coal
stones in the Bristol district is already
nearly exhausted as the result Of the strike
in that district. The price of coal
has gone up four shillings per
ton. Belgian shippers are sending
coal and Thames eolliers carrying these
consignments are expected to arrive Mon
day. The coal porters will attempt to pre-
vent the discharge Of these cargoes and it
is feared this will lead to a renewal of the
dock troubles. One Of the results of the
split which occurred among the North
Wales miners, is that men working in
Flintshire will not go on the strike, but
will only work five days in the week
Wooden barricades are being built around
the mouths OF the various pits in Durham
and none of the miners will be allowed in
side these Enclosures. It is believed that
at a conference to be held Wednesday next /
by miners, it will be decided to limit the
holiday to week. and to restrict the out
put during the summer.

OIympia,s Browns.

Two or three old citizens stood on Main
street corner this morning and discussed
the Brown family. Six or eight years ago
there were 50 many Browns IN Olympia
that each one was designated by a particu-
nickname. First of all, there was Barber
Brown, whom everybody knows; then
there was Register Brown, Of the land office;
Cold Water Brown, the temperance advo-
cate; Presbyterian Brown, Surveyor Brown,
Westside Brown, Butcher Brown, Shoe
maker Brown, Railroad Brown, San Diego
Brown, Sawmill Brown, Salvation Brown
of the Salvation army, Policeman Brown,
One-Legged Brown, and last, but not least,

BIRDS OF PASSAGE.
An Auction JeWeIry Firm Which viii
do the City no Good.

The TRIBUNE long ago determined to turn
its face agrinst all mercantile birds Of pas
sage that come to Olympia fer san auction
flyer, n and open up stock Of goods to
underbid and undersell "for few days
only the permanent merchants of this
city. The TRIBUNE refused to take the ad-
yertisemsnt Of the toy dealers who com
menced three weeks business ii the
Reed block just before Christmas and yes
terday it refused the advertisement Of the
auction of fjeweIry. The TRIBUNE believes
that these sort of ''hy by nights, are not
doing the city any good and as it is for
Olympia and its interests, first, last and all
the time, it cannot consistently advertise
a scheme to take money out of the town
and bring no good results to our local deal
ers. Some Of the property owners it is
said refused to rent their stores for the
purpose and they deserve credit for it.

The application Of Henry Hewitt, jr., to
the supreme court for a writ of mandamus
commanding the tide land commission to

WASHINGTON, March 11.-One Of the ways
this congress intends to show its economy
is by passingansuficient appropriations to
be made up at the next session-after the
election-by deficiency appropriation bills.
The house appropriations committee has
agreed on $134, ,825 ,O66 for pensions, which
is reasonably sure to be too little, as it is
less than the appropriation for the current
year and falls $12,000,000 short of the esti-
mates. Pensions cannot be scaled down.
They are fixed and the estimates are toler-
able sure to be about right.

All Johns Fault.

Puyallup Commerce: Hon. John Leary,
who was recently appointed mayor Of Sc
attle, failed TO have his appointment con
irmed, Mr. Ronald showing him under by
about 1000 votes.
This was bound to be.
Because the Hon. John, instead Of
watching we'll and fully improving his
golden political opportunities, went gall
wanting round the country with his girl
now in Olympia, then in Tacoma, and back
to Puyallup, and then away again. All
this time his opponents were spending their
good money in votes and nailingup the
gaps in their political fences.
John neglected all this, and when the
voters saw him taking more interest in his
girl and his coming mother-in-law than he
did in them, they resolved to deposit their
votes where they were more appreciated.
If John had married the girl a
month before and had the foolishness
all over with and got settled down to the
stern realities of life before the election
came on, he and bis wife would today be
Iord-mayor of Seattle
Thus it is that even a giddy young man
