SOLD HIS OPIUM AND SKIPPED.
Morrison Safe In Canada, as He Mis-
trusted His Partners.


It was learned yesterday that c. E. Nor
rison, the missing skipper" whose four
ton sloop is still in the harbor. was not
murdered as supposed, but is enjoying good
health on the British side. A gentleman
who returned from Victoria yesterday re-
ported to Officer Powers that he saw Morri-
son in Victoria last Friday and talked
with him.
The story of Morrison's mysterious dis
appearance since March Z, coupled with
the belief of the officers that he was muir
dered by two of his partners, who sought
to gain possession of 175 pounds OF pre-
pared opium which had been cached above
high tide near the foot of King street, was
published in the PosT-INTELLIGENCER last
Saturday morning. One of the old sail
or's partners is still missing, but his sec
ond partner, known as 1.-THE Black Kid"
is still in the city in possession of Morri-
sons sloop.
Officer Powers has learned since Satur-
day that Morrison did not sell any opium
to Gee Lee, the Chinese merchant who
was suspected of carrying on negotiations
with him, but another Chinaman told
the officer that Morrison sold the
opium to a Chinese merchant from Ia
coma fo- $1,000 cash. The sale, so the
story goes, was made by Morrison without
the knowledge OF his two partners. for he
suspected that they were playing false
with him and intended turning him over
to the customs officers. After he had
quietly disposed of his dope he left for
the British line overland, and has since
been living high.
Since the customs officers have no posi-
tive evidence against Morrison, it is i'm
possible to seize his sloop. 1t is said that
$1,000 is small consideration for 175
pounds of opium; $l4 pound is the
usual sum smugglers receive for good
grades of the article.

CARSON FOR CONTROLLER,
General Belief Among Faithful That He
Is the Lucky Mau.

During all of the week the attentio of
most of the Democrats has been fixed upon
the struggle between the mayor and the
police board over the question of the head
of the police department. The agonizing
struggle for Office among the faithful has in
consequence sunk to position of second
airy Importance in the eyes'of the party.
The candidates themselves have, how ever,
been busy rs the little bee The general
belief is that J. NJ. Carson has SO arranged
the checkers on the board that he can
jump over l.. d. Ross and land in the

comptroller.

ADJUSTMENTS.
At Cordray's Theater.

''Superba," a production upon which
the Hanlons have been working for years
and now making its second tour, will be
seen in Seattle for the first time Thursday
night at Cordray's 1t is their latest
work, and they allowed few elements of
chance to interfere with its success. They
went to the expense of erecting in Cohas-
set, Mass, the home of William Hanlon,
a tremendous workshop, eighty feet high
and 100 feet square The building has all
the appointments of practical stage,
and is facility possessed by no other
travelling organization. Here the COM
pany is rehearsed before leaving for the
road, and during the summer it is the store
house for all the Hanlon spectaces.

A SEATTLE DIVISION.
Northern Pacific Lines to Be
Reorganized.
LOCAL ROADS TO BE COMBINED.
Line TO Meeker and Lake Shore May
Form Division-Hil1 May Build
to Vancouver.

As soon as the formal lease of the Lake
Shore road to the Northern Pacific is COM
pleted, it is expected that considerable
change in the organization of the Seattle
property of the Northern Pacific VIII be
made. The Northern Pacific proper in the
city, which includes all the tracks and
buildings inside the city limits, and the
Lake Shore road will be consolidated into
what will be known as the Seattle division,
of which Superintendent Nadean VIII have
charge. The division may include the
whole of the old Puget Sound Shore road
as far as Meeker junction as well as the
Seattle terminus and the Lake Shore road.
Another probable change is the CONSOLE
dation of the Lake Shore freight office
with that of the Northern Pacific. The
freight depot of the Lake Shore road at
the foot of Madison street may be abol-
ished and the freight handled at the
Northern Pacific depot on the tide flats by
arrangement with the Transfer company.
If this is not done the business may be
transacted at the Office of J. w. Allen, the
Northern Pacific's local freight agent, and
the Madison street depot be continued
with a much reduced force.
The formation of the new division
would give this city increased Importance
in its relation with the Northern Pacific,
and may secure tor it improved facilities.

Iron Molders' Union.

The Iron Molders' Union held meeting
Saturday evening, but aside from the reg
ular routine work, the proceedings con-
tanned but little of general interest. Work
in the trade was reported better than it
had been, but number of men were still
out of work. The whole number en-
ployed at the trade here now is about
twenty, and of these about fifteen are
working in the Vulcan Iron Works. James
L. Barrie resigned the position of CORE
spending representative, and s. E. Redick
was elected to fill the vacancy.

thought now. however, that his resignation
will not be accepted.
There are at least fifty ex-policemen who
are living in hopes of getting back on the
force when the change comes. A number
of them may be seen any pleasant after
noon standing in front of police head
quarters looking with longing eyes upon
the Mecca of their hopes.

GREAT NORTHERN TO VANCOUVER.

Canadian Pacific Territory.

Hill reported to BE Ready TO Invade
Canadian Pacific Territory.
report comes from Vancouver that the
Great Northern is preparing to extend its
coast lines from Sou h Westminster to
that city. A charter for local company
has been secured, and it is proposed to
bridge the Fraser river at New Westmin-
ster and build directly across the PENN
sula between the river and Burrard inlet.
This line would give direct connection
with the Canadian Pacific at Vancouver,
its coast terminus, and would give New
Westminster first-class short route to
that city. 1t would, however, be the be-
ginning of competition between the Great
Northern and Canadian Pacific, for it
would be an invasion of the latter's terri
tory by the former Probably by the time
this road was built the Great Northern
main line would be completed to the Coast,
and the natural instinct of competition
would put an end to the present alliance.

A slide occurred on the Great Northern
road about 4 O'Clock yesterday afternoon
south of Richmond Beach. 1t was solid
mass of mud and stumps three to five
feet deep and about sixty feet long, and
tore down the wires. The south-bound
passenger train with about $50 passengers
found the track blocked, and up to the
hour of going to press, had not arrived in
the city. Eight or ten of the passengers
walked into town.
