Right of way Given.

SPOKANE, Feb. 20.-President Hill, of
the Great Northern, returned East thus
evening after making one of the most
successful tours of the Northwest since
the time Of Willard. He came first to
Spokane, met 5000 citizens in the opera
house, explained the difficulties bis line
must encounter to get into the city, and
what be proposed to do if he should come
here, and then modestly asked for right
of way through the city. A mass meet
ing promptly voted it TO him. Then Mr.
Hill referred them TO his engineers for
details and went westward on his
conQuering tour. 1t was then learned
that the contemplated right. OF way drove
straight through the heart of the city,
and avoiding the use of streets called for
about four miles of private property.
worth $1,000,000. The members of the
right Of way committee bad week to do
the work, and after putting in eighteen
hours day, and bringing every conceiY-
able pressure to bear upon the citizens,
they completed their work and when Mr..
Hill departed tonight he had a guarantee
closely buttoned on the inside pocket of
his Prince Albert. At Seattle he was not
whit less modest, asking for enough
ground along the harbor rim to lay eight
tracks, the right to construct an elevated
railway and perpetual franchise.

Hayti borrowing Honey at n High
Rate of Interest

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-Advices from
Hayti Say that Hlppolyte has secured a
loan from the banks of Port au Prince at
big shave. The bankers have agreed to
lend him 81 800, 900 in monthly payments
of $150,000. Interest at the rate of l per
cent a month is to be paid beginning
with February 25, and at the rate of u
per cent month beginning with Febru
ary 1,'93. Capital and interest are secured
and paid off monthly by tax on the ex
port duties, equal to ST. on every 100
pounds of coffee, Sl.95 ON every 1000
pieces of logwood, and $1.25 On every 100
pounds of cocoa. The loan is made to
Hippo yte not in gold. but in bank notes
which are now deprecated 25 per cent
A commission of per cent is allowed to
the bankers. The most astounding con-
dition of all. however, is that the $5 bills
of Legitime, issued In 1888, are received
on par with the national bank notes OF
the country, These So bills were repudi,
ated by Hippolyte at his accession to the
presidency. The interest, amounting
each month to $4,000, Is paid IN Ameri
can gold on the face value of the loan.
Leglme had in his possession about $780,
600 of his $5 bills. These were paid on
by the bankers at the first installment.
and the refugee now finds himself made
rich by his most bitter political enemy.
There is about $517, 900 in these bank
notes in Port au Prince.

The Ten-Year Bill Passed by the
Senate.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The senate
has passed bill extending for ten years
the operation of the Chinese exclusion
law. The bill passed by the senate to-
day extending for ten years the opera
tions of the Chinese exclusion law, is a
substitute for similar measure intro
duced by Senator Dolpb. The bill has
wider scope than indicated by its title,
for in addition to re- enaciing the present
exclusion laws, which are about to .apse,
it contains section intended to meet the
difficulty treasury officials have en-
coun'ered in returning the Chinese to
China, through judicial decisions adverse
to their right to return them further than
to the country from which they entered
the United States. Under this constrnc
ton of the law the treasury department
returned number of Chinese to Canada
instead of to China and they were soon
again smuggled across the line, which it
was impossible to guard at all times and
places. Another new section provides
severe penalties for return to the
United States of Chinese once sent out of
the country

The French CRISIS.

New YORK, FeD. 2l-Smalley' Is special
cablegram to tue Tribune from London
says: The fall of the French ministry is
discussed as if it were due to religious,
or rather an ecclesiastical difficulty of
long standing, and lately more menacing
than ever. That was the remote cause.
The immediate cause was Clemenceau.
He had suffered de Freycinct and his
colleagues to hold office, and, to some
extent, power for nearly two years. The
situation was becoming monotonous and
the luxury of overthrowing one more
government was one he could no longer
deny himself. Clemenceau is a sort of a
Warwick turned inside out. He is not q
king maker, but king breaker. He
has broken up half dozen ministries
already. His system is simplicity itself
He waits uutil some question turns up

question will not dowE. Its discussion
was resumed in the house again today
upon the presentation by Bland of let
ter in response to one of the Harier cir
culars to the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie. The scene was one of confusion and
excitement at times, but occasionally a
good home thrust on one side or the
other brnught forth hearty and continued
laughter. Harter characterized the silver
bill as Infamous and predicted tina. if it
passed the Democratic party would
march TO certain defeat in November
Warming up TO the subject, he declared:
III this free silver bill shall pass, the
time will come when man known as a
Democrat will not be given a decent
burial in the Democratic cemetery"
Repeated attempts were made by
points of order and demand for the
regular business to take Harter from the
floor, but he persisted in presenting his
views to the house, and 1t was compelled
to hear.
The house was called to order by Kerr,
clerk, who read communication from
Speaker Crisp designating McMIllin, of
Tennessee. as speaker pro tenn. for today.
A resolution was adopted providing
for the reprinting of the silver bill and

their prophecies, and preparations are be-
Ing made accordingly.

A Texarkana Negro Fiend Burned at
the Stake.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 20.-The Republics
special from Texarkana says: Ed Coy,
the negro who last Saturday fiendishly
assaulted Mrs. Henry Jewell, the wife of
respectable farmer living few miles
outside of the city, this afternoon an
swered for his awful crime, being burned
at the stake in the presence of 600 people.
Jewell left his wife and babe alone last
Saturday while he came to town on bust
ness. During the afternoon a negro came
to the house and assaulted Mrs. Jewell.
He then dragged her into the barn, where
be kept her about an hour, assaulting her
repeatedly. When Jewell returned home
no time was lost in giving alarm, and
soon scores of men were securing the
country IN all directions. During the
night two negroes were arrested, but
Mrs. Jewell declared them innocent, and
they were discharged. Finally 1t was

and that he bad gone north toward the

Democrat and an Oregon man, has been
asked ABOUT Pennoyer and has spoken in
rather fiatteriDg terms of him. 1t seems
negotiations are being conducted between
Hills friends and the people of the vari-
Gus states, and Oregon is one of these,
which Is to be looked after. Hills idea,
II is believed, is to have the few votes,
which Oregon will cast at the Chicago
convention, taken away from Cleveland
In any event and placed to his credit, and
in return Penncyer is to receive some
vice presidential votes from New York,
or some other state which is controlled by
Hill. The purpose IN bringing out Pen
Doyer is to get the votes not only from
Oregon but from the other Pacific Coast
states, and consequently break any Cleye
land combination at work there. 1t is
understood that Hill has said some very
f1attering things about Pennoyer, and re-
marked upon his vote getting power, and
that the party might do great deal
worse than to have him the vice presl
Dental candidate. 1t is Gilfrey who has
talked about Pennoyer, and speaks of him
as man with cratic ideas, which makes
him popular among a certain class Of
people in Oregon, and indicates that he
would be apt TO pull at least one, if not
more, Pacific states into the Democratic
column, If he were the vice presidential
nominee with Hill at the head of the
ticket, and free silver as cardinal prin-
clpal OF the Democratic platform.

A Pair of Them.

Not long since ball was given at a
lunatic hospital. Many friends of the
inmates were present, and also friends
of the governor. Among them was a
well known young journalist. He had
the most difficult time imaginable to
pick out the sane from the insane. FL
nally he saw young woman close to
him. He brushed by her by mistake,
and begged to be excused. She readily
forgave him, and then asked if he were
not the king of the Cannibal islands.
The journalist readily replied that he
was, and asked if the young lady were
not the queen. Then followed the fun
NEST conversation. He began telling
her of MS dominions and of the pres
ents he would purchase for her. He
would give a golden throne studded
with diamonds, all her dresses should
come from Worth's and she should have
the best French chefs for cooks. Then
he described his new palace. The
description was ornate in the extreme
This couple talked in this way for at
least an hour. Then they separated,
the young lady being claimed for a
WALTZ.
"Ssd case that" quoth the journalist
to one Of the board, as the young lady
went Waiting with her escort.

"Oh, haven't you met her? Well, she
thinks she is the queen of the Cannibal
islands and that am her king"
"Sone one has been guying you, " said
the heartless governor. ''She is no more
crazy t1an you are"
This was the sad case. A friend of
the young lady had informed her that
the young journalist was as crazy as a
loon. They said, however, that he was
harmless, and all that should be done
was to humor him into the belief that he
was the king of the Cannibal islands.
