for few years longer by taking the street
cars off the surface and running them either
overhead or underground; but even then
there will remain the problem Of how to
accommodate the multtudes that go afoot.
Today, in the busy hours, the sidewalks Of
the downtown streets are crowded almost
to the extent of a human blockade. Wider
streets are necessity which will become i'm
peratiye in a very few years. Why not,
then, widen them in the way which shall
give relief and at the same time preserve as
much as possible Of the interior space Of the
buildings for business purposes? The pic
turesqueness Of arcaded streets is strongly
commendatOry of the mayors suggestion.

Sensitive City Fathers.

II seems that hereafter our city theatres
will not he granted licenses except upon
promise that no plays shall be produced or
topical songs sung in which our city fathers
are referred to- At least Manager Schocfel
OF the fremont was cited before the powers
at city hall and requested to make such
promise before license would be granted
his theatre. Whether he appeared and ac-
ceded to such demand have not learned,
but 1t was a strange coincidence that while
Mr.. SchOcifcl was cndcayOring to Conciliate
the aldermen here, his partner, Mr.. Henry
L. Abbey, was negotiating for a play called
"Our Aldermen" in which the methods OF
such boards IN all American cities is treated
in satirical fashion.
No one ever accused. or even suspected
our board OF aldermen of being lacking in
mcndacity, but their attempt to exercise
censorship over the theatres aud 10 say what
shall and what shall not he produced upon
their stages is rather astounding to even
those most familiar with the devious ways
OF the aNcrage city politician. Boston al
dcrmen need to understand that they have
no moral or legal right to interfere with the

or topical allu,iOns are not of direct per-
soual character aud come within the law

here as in no other city in the world; and
the further fact that no investigation into
frauds perpet atcl upon the city has ever
yet been permitted to reach n climax, are
some OF the things which have never been
satisfactorily explained to that patient, self
.cridcing, not to say stupid, ass--the people.
Ii these things have become target for the

STATE POLITICAL POINTERS.

Anacortes Courier: Eugene Wilson's
boom for governor continues to grow
apace. Gene has host of friends and
some bitter enemies. He once published a
newspaper and dared to tell the truth.
Anacortes Courier: It is understood that
Leigh Hunt, of the Post-Intelligencer is
working up boom for governor Of Wash
1ngton's good. Now let Clancy, Burns,
McGraW, O'Donneu, ct al, announce them
selves, and the people will breathe easier.
Colonel J. M. Steele says regarding Alex
ander Parker's Chinese record: 4Some of
the, Tacoma people opposing the movement
against Cinnamon did SO because the move
ment was contrary to the treaties with
China. Parker opposed the movement, /
remember, because he wanted cheap labor:
ne thought the country could best be devel-
oped with cheap labor and that washing
could be paid for at cheap rates rather
than high rates.
Alexander Parker, the democratic candi-
date for mayor of Tacoma, talked at the
Murphy meeting and was at the same time
renting a beer saloon. ThesOld man is con.
siderable of a fraud.
The Post-Intelligencer, too cowardly to
attack the republican nominee for mavor
OF Tacoma, in its editorial columns, is do
ing 1t by correspondence under the guise
OF news. 1t wants to see the republicans
beaten in Tocoma.
Colville Republicans In an interview

working representative 1t need not be

cratic press Of the state will be as candid.

"A Lumhermanss Rendezvous.

This term might be applied to Stevens
Point, located on the Wisconsin Central
lines, at the gateway to the vast forest re-
gion which extends north to Lake Superior
a distance of 900 miles, without break. on
account of its vast lumber interests. The
Wisconsin river, to which the lumbermen
have given the familiar and somewhat
affectionate title of cold Wiscons," not
alone acts as a lumber feeder to the city by
furnishing through its numerous tributa-
ries an outlet for thousands of acres Of
pine in the upper country, but it furnishes
a water power that is second only to that
of Neenah and Menasha, which cities are
also located on the Central" Millions of
feet of lumber are cut every year, giving
employment to hundreds of men. In ad-
dition to the lumber trade, it has numerous
other manufactures; it is here where the
large car shops Of the Wisconsin Central
lines are located.

The Fa anime in Russia.

ST. PETERSBURG, March sc. Reports from
the American agents in the distressed PROV
inces contradict the statement circulated
in the United States that peasants have no
further need Of assistance. The peasants
are in urgent need of corn, especially seed
corn. Murphy, one of the American agents,
will issue an appeal to the German Ameri-
can people for aid. He says there are in
the distressed provinces 100000 German
colonists in distress, who appeal to their
kinsmen in the United States for aid. The
crops have failed for several years and there
was not drop of rain for ninety-two days
in 1891. The colonists have been deci-
mated by spotted typhus fever. The gov
ernment is doing all in its power to relieve
the sufferers and has expended over 200,-
100000 roubles. Aid must be speedy to be
effective. If the German-American citizens
will send shipload of unground Indian
corn the peasants will be enabled to grind
part and SOW the remainder. Charles En-
cry Smith, United States minister here
will see that it is properly distributed.

MONTREAL, March 3.-The recently dis
covered loophole in the United States
Chinese exclusion law has already begun
to show its effects in the arrival of Chinese
from the western points to take out papers
as British citizens in the supreme court an
orner to go the United States as British
subjects. Three Chinese, who had taken
allegiance to the queen, have gone to Bos-
ton from here United States officers on
this side of the line tried to stop them, but
had to let them through when the papers
of citizenship were exhibited, as the treaty
between Great Britain and the United
States says the latter shall admit within its
borders any British subject Itisnot appar-
ent anything can now be done to stop Chi
nese who wish to go to the United States
as British subjects. A prominent United
States treasury official now in the city said
there was nothing to prevent the United
States from being flooded with British Chi
nese by tens of thousands before some plan
could be adopted to put stop to it. The
Canadians also view the situation with
alarm. The trade and labor conncil sent
delegates who saw the cabinet minister
and a bill will be introduced in the house
this week asking that the head tax on Chi
nese be increased from $50 to $130 each and
that further restrictions be put on vessels
carrying them. The bill will be framed So
that only one Chinese shall be carried TO
every 100 tons,

HIS STATE OF MIND.

was 30 Have Been Sentenced This
Morning Thinks That the
County JafI is Not LeveI-His Be-
hayiOr.
The recent ordeals through which Fred
Neuffer has passed in endeavoring to es-
cape the tolls of the law seem to have
worked with serious effect upon his mind,
and this morning his condition became so
serious that it became necessary to place
him in a steel cell.
Ever since Neufer was found guilty of
appropriating funds entrusted to him for
investment his appearance has been greatly
depressed. Some time ago he was given
$500 to invest for man named Swarm
promising the latter a return of 25 to so per
cent. on the Investment. The money was
deposited in the state bank in Neuffer's
name, the understanding being that the
investor could at any time find either his
money or securities, in the bank Instead,
however, he found nothing and numerous
checks were presented in evidence, showing
that all the money had been withdrawn
and used by Neufer for his own purpose
shortly after it was deposited. The jury in
the case found Neutfer guilty Of larceny by
embezzlement.
All through the trial he manifested the
greatest interest and followed each phase
of the case closely.
This morning his moody disposition
took the color of insanity. His one hallu-
cination was that the Jail was not level.
Several pieces of stove wood were placed on
end and he would then Sneel on the floor
and sight from one to the other. Then he
would violently kick each piece Of wood
down and throw it around the jail This
operation he repeated several times until
it became necessary TO restrict his move
ments by placing him in cell. When Wis
tied this morning he seemed rational
enough at times. Then hewould complain of
pains in his head and begged to be released
Just how far Neuffer's insanity is genu-
inc will have to be passed upon by physi-
clans. DR.. Watt was called in this morn
morning, but does not care to express an
opinion Just yet. The symptoms, however,
were not in keeping with those of a person
who had actually passed into insanity.
Neuffer was TO have been taken before
Judge Robinson for sentence, but this
morning his condition prevented it. Tow
ard noon he became much quieter, and
was released from the confines of the big
cell and permitted to enjoy the freedom Of
the jail room with the other prisoners. His
relatives say they have never known him
to be affected before.

The Olympia Room is the Finest.


Special correspondence OF the Tribune.

the Washington Soldiers Home, owe to
your city debt of gratitude for the inter
est that has been taken by its citizens in
matters pertaining to the home welfare.
We have room saperbly furnished by the
George Fl. Thomas Ladies' Relief Corps.
There is no room in the home SO finely and
comfortably furnished as "the Olympia
Room" Its walls are decorated by beauti-
full paintings; the floor is carpeted and
spread with costly fur rugs. In fact. eyery-
thing has been done by the ladies to make
the room most comfortable
The Washington Soldiers Home is all
that could be desired as the last resting
place for the old soldiers. Its manage
ment is without fault. / ao not think the
state Of Washington could furnish more
competent commander than the one now
IN charge; and his estimable wife is the
proper person to fill the position of matron.

either national or state, that SO perfectly
meets all the wants of the dependant old
soldier as does the Washington Soldiers
Home.
We have every necessary comfort that it
IS possible to secure, and as a whole TIE in
mates OF the home are most affable and
pleasant gentlemen. Our surroundings and
everything pertaining to the home are as
near perfect as it should be- The only
shadow that has been over the home is the
death of Comrade Patrick Brennan, a COM
rade who was taken out Of hospital in
Spokane in dying condition. He was
then IN the last stages of pulmonary con-
sumption and was sent by rail distance of
nearly 400 miles to this home When he
arrived, on the 28th Of February, he was
furnished pleasant room and a comfort
able bed. He never left it until removed
therefrom by the undertaken. During the
time he was at the home he had every care
and attention that the skill of physician
and the watchfulness and care of the COM
mander and the matronco render. Com
Tade Brennan is the first and only one who
has died in the home. He was buried in
the home cemetery. The ceremonies were
conducted by the commander, assisted by
the Q. NJ. Reed Post, G. a. r., of Orting.
