FOR A POWDER MAGAZINE.
Proposal to Use the Henry Buck Gen.
erally Approved,

The proposition to have the board of
public works purchase the hulk of the old
bark Henry Buck from the Oregon I'M
provement Company and anchor it out on
the flats, to be used as powder magazine,
seems to meet with general approval
among those directly concerned.
Fire Commissioner J. l.. Kahaley said
he considered it the very cheapest way of
settling the question; that the hulk could
be bought for s., 900. was we'll adapted for
the purpose, being perfectly sound, and
having good accommodations for keeper
to live right on board of her. He felt sure
that no scow that would answer the pur-
pose could be built for like amount. She
has good anchors. a donkey engine for
loading and unloading large quantities of
powder. she has plenty of room in the
hold which can be partitioned off for the
different dealers, and she is perfectly dry
inside. her copper bottom preventing the
worms from injuring her. Mr.. kahaley
thinks she should be stationed out near the
drawbridge at the mouth of the
Duwamish river, in water of just suffi-
Gent depth for her bottom TO rest on the
mud at very low tide. This would have a
tendency to check the barnacles from &C.
cumulating on her, though she might be
taken out and cleaned on the beach once
in a great while. Large quantities of
powder could be taken out or brought in
on a scow aud small quantities could be
handled in a row boat. He thinks this
would settle the question satisfactorily for
at least forty years.
L. B. Burwell, of the Seattle Hardware
Company, said it made but little differ
ence to the dealers how the question was
settled so long as magazine was provided
in which the powder could be kept per-
fectly dry. He thought land magazine,
situated up the river, where it could be
reached by either land or water, might be
more convenient
y. Poston. coal agent for the Oregon
Improvement Company, said the hull of
the old vessel was perfectly sound, and he
was willing to take her out any time The
board of public works desired TO examine
her bottom. She does not leak, and the
copper protects her on the outside She
was purchased by the company some time
ago to be used as coal barge on the
Sound, but she draws SO much water that
she cannot get into some Of the most i'm
portant ports TO which the company ships
coal. The coal for Tacoma, Olymp and
some other ports has had to be shipped on

San american Princess"

The four-act comedy drama, IAN Amer
lean Princess" will be produced at Cor
dray's for the first time tonight. The
piece abounds in comical situations. The
humor is of pure character, somewhat
bosterous, but free from vugarites and
with little horse-play in its composition.
The plot is sunken under the desire to
run in the comedy parts. but all runs on
smoothly. The small boy finds great de-
light III the third act, when the stage
coach is attacked, and yells himself
hoarse at the fusiIIade and at the turning
of the tables on the vii lain. new and
attractive programme has been provided
for the auditorium.

HMcCarthY's MiShaps."

There will be two nights OF real good
fun at the opera-house this week, when
the Ferguson & Mack company will pre-
sent the farcial absurdity. "McCarthy's
Mshaps," Friday and Saturday evenings
The company comprises an aggregation OF
talent seldom seen in farce. comedy. con-
ssting of merry comedians, pretty girls
and specialists. The play is said to be .
continuation of laughs from start to finish
and treats on the mishaps of two Irish
men. in which the wit and drolery so
characteristic of the Celt is depicted. and
the fun derived from this source can be
readily imagined.

THE GOSPEL ADMINISTRATION.

Prosperity Of the Kingdom Of Christ
Described by Rev. S. Dell johnson.
At the United Presbyterian church yes
terday the Rev. s. Dell Johnson preached
an interesting sermon on 1.-THE Prosperity
of the Kingdom of Heaven Under the Cos
pei Administration" The preacher first
discussed the comparative insignificance
of the beginning of the kingdom, showing
how unprepared the world was at the
period of Christ's stay on earth to accept
the truth as revealed by him in his utter
ances and teachings.
The second point of the discourse related
to the difficulties under which the king
dom was carried on. Its early teachers
were ignorant and unlettered men, little
able to cope with the scholars of the Jews,
the Romans and Greeks, but that God was
with them and they went on their way
with success undreamed of. He spoke
OF the difficulties that beset the early
fathers of the church in the establishment
OF missions and traced in a measure the
early history of the Christian church.
The third division of the subject related
to the success which missionary work has
made and what is being done at the pres
ent time. In the fifteenth century it was
estimated that there were 100, OOO, 900
Christians in the world. three centuries
later there were ia 600, 000 and within the
last ninety years the number has grown to
10000, while there are in the field to-
DAY 20 distinct missionary societies all
working to add 10 the hosts of Christ's
army. The speaker then reviewed the
work in India. China Japan. Africa and
the Sandwich islands, and quoted sta
ustlcs concerning the progress of the work.
Next the pastor proved the prosperity of
me Kingdom by citing the examples of the
influence welded by those nations which
We're administered according to Christian
principles. In England and the United
states, where the religion of Christ 80
ahandantly hourished, they practically
ruled other nations. which went to show
that Christs dominion was felt even in
many unseen ways. The examples of
great men we're brought forth to show that
srtlsts. statesmen, poets, writer's and mu-
seians were ali many of them deriving
thelr greatest inspiration from Christ, and
.hat the Son of God was getting foot
hoa In the hearts of all men. The
preacher closed with eloquently descrlb-
ing how all the kingdoms of the earth
were slowly drifting To King Emanuel.
Inc eid for Christian endeavor was with
OUT unit, that difficulties proved as
uought, that Christianity was enjoying
absolute prosperity and that men must
come eventually to faith i'll the Gospel of
Jesus Christ,

NEW BAPTIST SCHOOL.
Early Completion of the Work
on the DomitOry.
TO BE DEDICATED THIS FALL.
r.v. q. Dell Johnson's Discourse on
.pro.perity Under Christ's Kingdom"
Baptist Mission for Chinese.

The first building of the Seattle Baptist
college. which is located about two miles
from Columbia, on the Rainier avenue
line is RAPIDLY approaching completion,
and there is no doubt but that the institu-
ZION will be dedicated and opened for
work in the early fall.
The building nearly completed is 60xl20
feet and will be used as dormitory. 1t
will contain twenty-four rooms. The col
,ece has 100 acres altogether but only
twenty-one acres will be used for campus
and buildings. About $10.0 has been
snent ON the building thus far. The land
which belongs to the college has been do
mated byJ. ". Waters, J. K. Edmiston
and A. L. Palmer
It is understood that meeting of the
hoard of trustees will be held today. at
which. among other things, it is thought
that the matter of faculty will be con-
sidered. Among the persons spoken of
for positions thus far are: For president,
DR.. James Hamilton, a well-known edu-
Gator of New York city; French. Miss
stetsoD; elocution, Mrs. G. L. Slauson:
Latin, Miss Marian Harger, and for pri-
mary work, Miss Florence. 1t is proposed
tn begin the institution in modest way,
but to gradually improve it SO that in time
II will be the equal of any Baptist college
in this country.
The college derives its revenue from
funds contributed by the Baptist Educa-
ton Society, which is supported largely
by John d. Rockefeller, and by such sub
scriptions as can be secured here in Seattle
and in other towns of the Coast. The
Northwestern Baptist convention has
given the college recognition, and many
persons on the Pacific coast are interested
in giving the movement encouragement.
The Baptist Education Society has given
5000. and promised more, and many
others have gwen both land and cash.
Ii is proposed to open the institution
with appropriate exercises in the fall, and
in the meanwhile every effort will be made
to have everything ready by that time. A
folder will soon be issued in the nature of
prospectus.
The board of trustees is composed of:
President, Rev. G. ]. Burchett; treasurer,
T. W. Prosch; secretary, Rev. NJ. L. Rugg;
the Rev. /. W. Read. A. L. Palmer, James
Weed, G. A Hill. L. ID. Goodwin, Rev.
Thomas Baldwin, w. H. Thompson, w.
F. Harper, Tacoma; Thomas Houghton,
Victoria; James Wells and James Craven.
