A YAKIMA RAILROAD SCHEME.
System of Narrow Gauge Lines to Tap
the Surrounding Country.

NORTH YAKIMA, April 27.-ISpecial. IA
very large and enthusiastic mass meeting
was held in the opera house this evening
for the purpose of discussing the project of
building a system of narrow gauge
railroad from North Yakima into
the timber and coal fields of the
Natchez pass and to Priests rapids
the Sunnyside section of Yakima county
via Yakima City, up the Ahtanum valley
and down via the Status to Goldendale.
State Senator ]. S. Eshelman presided,
and many well considered speeches
favoring the project were made.
The incorporators of the company
who were present outlined their plans
and asked for a subsidy of $4,000 from
the citizens of North Yakima.
The meeting by resolution showed its
hearty accord in the proposition. and an
executive committee of five lead
ing citizens was appointed to raise
the amount required, over half
of which is already pledged.
Engineers have already been secured and
will arrive here tomorrow to begin the
surveys on the first section up the
Natchez. Yakima has taken the project
with enthusiasm, and the indications are
that there will be no difficulty in comply

STUDYING SEAL HABITS.
Treasury Ofhcials Gathering Evidenc

Treasury Oficials Gathering Evidence
Nova Scotians Whining.
PoRr TOWNSEND, April 27.-[Special.l-
Special Treasury Agents Williams and
Mulkey have concluded their labors at
Victoria in taking testimony regarding
he sealing industry. They are now at
Neah bay examining Indian sealers with
reference to seal life. There appears to be
considerable conflict of testimony regard
ing the habits of female seals and their
pups. A large amount of evidence has
been obtained for the government.
OTTAWA, Ont, April PA. c. Bertram,
of North Sydney, Cape Breton, owner of
the feet of Nova Scotian sealing schoon-
ers now on the way to Boring sea, has had
an interview with Sir Charles Upper,
minister of marine and fisheries, respect
ing the recent proclamation of the modus
vivendi. He made strong repre-
sensations to Upper of the loss
which the res friction of seal-taking will
cause. From the narbor of North Sydney
alone seven sealing schooners are now on
their way around Cape Horn. bound tor
Boring sea. Bertram says the modus
vivendi will bear so hard on Nova Scotian
owners of seal schooners that almost the
best thing that could happen to them
would be to have their vessels driven
ashore by storm SO long as the crews were
not lost. In that case they would have
the insurance. Upper was not able to
hold out any great hope of immediate bet
ter prospects for the adventure of the Nova
Scotian sealers who take their schooners
around from the North and South Ameri-
can fishing grounds to reach the seals in
Boring sea.
WASHINGTON CITY, April 27.-Oficials of
the state department place no credence in
the reports that Canadian sealers propose
to enter Boring sea under the protection
of governments other than Great Britain
and the United States. They say that
both countries would resent such palpa-
bic fraud. and 1t is not likely that any
other country would consent to use its flag
for the sole purpose of violating the laws
of the United States in regard to seal
poaching. An agent of the North Amer
lean Commercial Co. has informed the treas
ury department of reports that the poachers
intended to sell their vessels to Mexicans
and enter the sea flying the flag OF that
country, but no one attaches much impor-
lance to that report.

several other girls came up, talking and

Metcalf had his right foot on the brake,
and says he saw the children. When
Eina came closer and appeared about to
dodge around in front of the car he says
he shouted to her and she ran sidewise
few feet ahead of the car until the
guard, which was raised by q pitch
in the crown of the street, struck
her, knocking her six or seven
feet. When it again struck her the car
was on level down-grade stretch, and it
pushed her along, her body gradually
working under the car, while the guard
would not allow her head to pass, thus
dragging her face over the rough granite
blocks near the slot for forty feet
and leaving bloody trail. Metcalf
claims he stopped the car in a little
over twice its length, which is trife short
Of the truth. Considering the grade, Met
calf and conductor Axtell claim that new
men could not have stopped the car SO
quickly. Those who witnessed the acci-
dent thought that under the frightful cir
cumstances the gripman was slow in drop

were no passengers on the car, and had there
been half dozen or more aboard the grip

several weeks sickness another daughter is
just now able to walk. On election day,
while voting, he suffered stroke of paraly-

been told tonight, and keeps asking for
Edna to "Come and say goodnight" She
is unconscious in an adjoining room.

not know what she was going to do when

THE ANARCHIST REIGN OF TERROR.
RavachoIs Jurors, Who Saved Their
Lives, Denounced as towards.


Lives, Denounced as towards.
PARIS, April 27-When the jury in the
case of the anarchists arose at o'clock
this morning and rendered YER
dict of guilty with extenuating
circumstance against Ravachol and
Simon, the latter did not show
that they had expected anything different
After the Judge had sentenced them to
penal servitude for life they shouted
"Vive la anarchy" "Vive la revolution
social" The verdict occasioned much
surprise, bnt the general opinion is
that the "extenuating circumstance" part
of the verdict is due to the fear of the
jurors that if the prisoners should De con.
demned to death they would all be
victims of the anarchists vengeance.
After the proceedings had ended
and the condemned had been removed,
the courtroom and adjacent corridors
were scenes of great animation. The case
was discussed in loud tones by everybody.
Some held that the jury had shown a woe
full lack of courage. Others held that the
recent explosions showed that the friends
of the prisoners were capable of carrying
into execution their threats to kill the
jurymen if any of the prisoners were sent
therefore justified in returning verdict
that would prevent themselves from be-
coming the objects of revenge for the
anarchists.
The conciliatory tone of Judge Cues,
who presided at the trial, and the excess
sive indulgence of the anarchists,
is severely condemned. 1t is sug-
gested that the jury took their cue
hn ind A9 of
jurymen passed the excited groups they
were greeted with angry cries of "Cow-
ardsI" The police Immediately arrested
twenty-five anarchists at Roubaix.
The Journal des Debats says that 1t is to
be regretted that the jury failed to perform
its duty in the same noble manner in
which the officials performed theirs.
The public generally condemn the verdict.
No one doubts that the jury was terror
lied. The result is regarded as a triumph
for the dynamiters. The fearless conduct
of Beaupire, the public prosecutor, is
warmly commended.
Justice. a radical organ, says that some
foolish minds are already proposing absurd
steps, some going SO far as to argue
that the government should declare
state of siege. The proposals
tucSC pSisoiot custeco NcNiaSS,
would prove a sorry remedy, as it would
only aggravate the evils. The paper adds:
"Let US begin the correction OF the evil by
having police that knows its business"
The Gaulois says: 1t is deplorable that
Ravachol should have been allowed a
whole day, thanks to the inaptitude of
the pr osecution, to transform the dock
into tribune from which to preach an
archy.
Two anarchists, Lapeer and Francois,
have been arrested. Francois is suspected
of being concerned in the explosion at
Cafe Very.
