THE ARBITRATORS.
Persons Who Will Settle the
Behring Sea Dispute.

Judge BIOdgett, of Chicago, Chosen
One OF the CounseIThe ArB1-

Paris.
CHICAGO, May 19.-Judge Henry W.
Blodgett, ofthe United States district court,
has practically accepted the position AS
one of the counsel for the United States in
the arbitration of the Behring sea dispute
with England. The position was rendered
him by the president through Solicitor
General Aldrich. Judge Blodgett has ac-
,Gepted the appointment, and upon the
official announcement Of the same by the
president, he will send in his resignation
as United States judge. II shall take up
no more cases in court, !" said Judge Blod-
gett, "and if l can dispose of cases
already submitted to me by the end of tie
present week, shall go to Washington next
week. However, have not yet resigned,
because the president may decide
to appoint some other man. 1 think you

counsel in the case. 1t is desired, under

prepared before next September. 1t will
then be submitted to the English govern
ment and the counsel will have 80 days in

provides that each country be allowed two
arbitrators, that three neutral powers ap-
point one each. These countries are Italy,
France and Sweden. The arbitrators will
meet in Paris and decide the case there. L
doubt very much if they get together much
before next spring, consequently you can
see there is at least a years labor before

CONCERT CAROLS.
A Pleasing Entertainment at Unity
hrnHSnnnhrurnn


The Unity Auditorium last evening was
we'll filled to listen to the programme,
which had been prepared by the best mus
icaI talent Of the city and was we'll received
by those present Each number was ap-
plauded, but not 50 vociferously as they
would have been had the concert been
held any other place but a church, but in
several instances this timidity was some
what overcome.
Nearly every selection was admirably
rendered and convinced the audience that
Olympia has some good musical talent. J..
B. Starr sang "Tell Her Love Her Still"
with telling effect and was heartily ap-
plauded. Mrs. DiYen, whose singing is al
ways appreciated, sang solo in her usual
inimitable style. Miss Coyington's rendi-
tions were well received, as were also the
solos of Mrs. Lee and Mrs. Bolton. The
vocal duet, "Oh That We Two Were May
ing" by Mrs. Perciyal and Mayor O'Brien,
fairly captivated the audience. The instru-
mental duet by Mrs. Starr and Mrs. Fitch
was also an excellent number. Mrs. Starr
was the accompanies in all the selections.

Frank Daniels, WeIcome.

The return to Olympia, at the theater
this evening, Of that clever comedian,
Frank Daniels, is an event of much graft
tication among numerous class of our
theater goers. He has a quaintness about
him possessed by no other comedian en-
gagged in farcical work at the present time
He is at all times irresistibly funay, and
certainly is inimitable in his special line Of
comedy characterizations. He has quietly
and good naturedly wormed himself into
the affections Of this big fun-loving and
qulck-witted nation, and, as intimated
above, the announcement of his return
here will be welcomed. He will present
again that fantastically ludicrous piece
'fLittle Puck, y which has been freshened
up this season with a lot OF new music,
songs and dancing. The company is al
most entirely new. Miss Bessie Samson
still leads the beyy of pretty and clever
girls Mr. Daniels has in his company. The
company this season mum bers over twenty
five people, and includes Bert Coote, Tony
Williams, Robert Evans, Robert e. Bell,
D. i. Don, George Campbell, John Can
field and w. S. Belknap, and the Misses
Hilda Thomas, Anetta Zelna, Minnie Mil

AN UNDERGROUND RAILROAD.
A Tunnel Proposed From Tacoma
- ENaN SSnnnn


TACOMA, May 19A project, stupendous
in It's scope and Of great Importance to Ta-
coma's material interests, has been under
taken by number of prominent and pub
lie. spirited citizens.
It is nothing less than to construct tun-
mel from the prairie at Edison to tideWater
at Tacoma in the vicinity of Paulson's mill,
the purpose being to provide suitable out
let with an easy grade, for the Northern
Pacific, Great Northern and Union Pacific
and other railroads from the tide flats to
the prairie. "A further object is to provide
means by which Edison and the entire
southern part of the city can be cheaply
drained, and to do this it is proposed to lay
a large trunk line sewer at the bottom Of
the tunnel under the railroad tracks.
Estimates made by engineers place the
cost of construction of such tunnel at
$1,000, providing it is supported at first
by timbers, which will last eight or ten
years, instead of masonry. 1t is intended
to adopt this plan, replacing the timbers
with brick walls and masonry when the
former wear out or decay.
The dirt to be excavated in building the
tunnel will be used to fill in land on the
tide flats, and the estimates made show
that sixty acres can thus be reclaimed. By
this means not less than $125, 900 can be se-
cured as a credit on the expenditure, since
the Northern Paciie's and the Tacoma
Land company's previous work in that line
have shown the cost of filling in the tide
| flats to be at least so 900 an acre

An Obstruction so d Feature of the
WORLDS Fair.


WASHINGTON, May I9.-The passage of
the Chinese exclusion act has had one eff
feet probably not intended, or at least fore
seen by its authors. one of the projects in
connection with the Columbian Exposition
at Chicago next year is a congress Of the
worlds religions, the idea Of the projectors
being to secure the attendance of represent.
atiVes of all the great religions Of the world
during the progress of the fair Pursuant
to this idea, Professor J.5B. Apgell of Mich
igan, one Of the committee in charge,
sought the assistance of certain state de-
partment officials to place him in commu-
nication with distinguished disciples of
Confucius in China, with view to inviting
them to attend the congress-. The exclu-
sion bill was then pending, and until it
was finished the officials did not see their
way clear to act upon Professor AntelI's re-
quest. When the bill became law they
were satisfied that to request the attend
ance of prominens Confucians would be
useless, and the matter was not brought to
the attention of the Chinese minister.
r Mr.. Ho, the interpreter of the Chinse le-
cation, stated that, in Ibis opinion, no rep
utable and Representative disciple Of Con
fucius WoIald hunilSste hsgoself as the ex-
cfusion act would require him to do, in or
der to attend the congress, and that, there
fore, the worlds congress Of religions
would lack the presence of any of the fol-
lowers of the great chinese teacher.
