ABSENT SINCE 1884.
A Man Visits Seattle After a Lapse OF
Thirty Eight Years.


The state public printer, o. c. White, of
Olympia, was at the Occidental hotel yes
terday and the day before with his father,
Charles White, of Campbell's Prairie,
Idaho. The elder Mr.. White is one of the
early settlers of the Northwest. He
crossed the plains to Oregon about 1850.
and in 1853 came to the Puget sound
country. Last night he said: 81 was
in Seattle in 1853 and in 1854,
and until this visit had not seen the
place since. cannot now fix any of the
locations of the little hamlet left then.
| remember that DR.. Maynard offered me
block of ground if would locate in Sc
attic, and suppose that that block must
be somewhere near this spot.
ut was my good fortune to be in Olym-
pla when this territory was organized and
the first governor, l. I. Stevens, came out
l recall how few of us went out little
way from Olympia to meet him. We
found him coming on the trail through
the woods. A small man he was, dressed
in huckskin and wearing a long black
beard. The rain was falling heavily and
he told us he would not have anything to
say until we reached Olympia. There he
gave US very good talk
Mr. White went back to Oregon from
Washington and was for years prominent
in business and politics there. For long
time he was sheriff of Wasco county, but
lately he has been living on a farm in
Idaho county. Idaho.
His son, o. G. White, has been resident
of Washington since 1871. At Dayton he
made his reputation as newspaper man.
lie was Harrison's appointee as secretary
of the territory and he has also served in
the territorial legislature. Governor Ferry
appointed him state printer.

OPENING THE MoNEY-BAGs.
DIR. Ki1bourne Says Eastern Capital IL
Going Into Secure Inxestments

INTO secure investments.
DIR. Z. C. Kilbourne, who has just re-
turned from business trip to New York,
said to Posr-INTELLIGENCER reporter yes
terday: "They are piling up money very
fast in the East and the market is in much
better shape. But they are letting out
money by degrees and only on the very
best security. / found that Seattle was in
much better shape than many other West
ern towns, such as Denver and Pueblo, for
they have many more empty buildings
than We have In the middle East-I
mean in Illinois and neighboring states
the towns are buying their own bonds, a
sign that the period is going by when they
have to go to New York and other money
centers for capital.
Puget sound in general, including Sc
attic has suffered from the sending out of
bad reports about the dull trade. which
represented things to be worse than they
really are. Some interest is being shown
in mining developments here. I met a
man in Chicago who is interested in smelt-
ing, and will probably engage in that bust
ness either on the Sound or in British
Columbia.
my trip related partly TO the affairs of
the Home Electric Company. We intend
to make considerable extensions this sum-
mer, the wire for which arrived on the
keewenaw."

THE SUSPENDED STUDENTS.
They Threaten to Garry Their Case
Into the Courts.

Into the Courts.
The situation at the State university re-
manned unchanged yesterday. The sus-
pension of the students who refused to
drill created general comment, and there
is no doubt of the fact that all the stu
dents, male and female, look with deep in
terest on the final outcome of the trouble
The spokesman of the suspended BOYS
reiterated the statement at the PosT-INTEL-
LIGENCER office last evening that they were
deeply in earnest in the matter. and that
the case will positively be taken into
court, if, on Friday. the faculty refused to
reinstate them. The following communi-
cation was handed in:
To THE EDITOR: was much surprised at the
statement made by the faculty in yesterday
mornings observation-disclosures, much of which
does the boys who were suspended a great in
justice, as the facts of the case will show.
The faculty has never once consented to rea-
son with the boys, but, on the contrary, when
they were summoned TO appear before them
they were not allowed to say word, but merely
answer whether they would or would not drill.
Why should the faculty say that we were too
proud to ask for an excuse? The assertion is
untrue, as they well know. On the morning of
drill day Professor Catch said IN chapel that if
a student came to him for an excuse and he saw
that his knees were shaky from work he would
excuse him. Mr.. Anderson asked for an excuse
and was told that he would excuse him for one
time, but If his work interfered with drill he
would have to quit work. This, of course,
means for him to quit school.
Mr.. Ewing asked for an excuse, but was like
wise refused, with the answer that fifty more
could demand an excuse on the same grounds.
Yet none Of the boys has better cause for excuse
than he. If these boys were so treated why
should they present themselves to be thus dis
missed7 Mr. Taylor has a standing excuse for
Wednesday morning to attend TO his work. He
was suspended because he refused to give up
his work and drill The faculty has ATTEMPTED
to disgrace us In the eyes of the world and pre-
vent US from entering another school, and their
only reason for so doing Is that, having made an
arbitrary rule they must enforce it, although it
be contrary to both reason and law.

commissioner, and he has served several
terms in the legislature. In the course of
brief talk yesterday he said: 1.-The

that their party is holding its own, but
outsiders claim that the organization is
losing ground.
Undoubtedly the majority of the Re-
publicans are anxious to have Blaine the
presidential candidate. but the federal
office-holders may possibly succeed in
getting control and sending Harrison
