Br,efe.t speech From the Throne.

LONDON, Aug. THE queen speech
as communicated to the chiefs of the
ministerial and opposition parties, is the
briefess speech from the throne ever read
In parliament. It formally intimates that
parliament has not met for the transac-
tion of business. 1t contains no refer
ence to prospective Legislation. and is
almost silent in regard to foreign affairs
and Ireland. The queen simply says that
no immediate work can be expected of
the members so soon after the labors of
the last session and the fatigues of the
general election.

California Robbers still Free.

VIsALIA, Cal, aug. 5,-Detective VIM
Smith and Deputy Sheriff Whitty, who
are in search of the robbers who held up
the Los Angeles express. near Fresno,
visited the house of Chris Evans to day,
as they had clew indicating that Evans
and a man named John Sontag were the
robbers. They found George Conant,
| alias Sontag, there, took him to Jail, and
after questioning him charged bim with
robbery, The two officers then secured
the wagon and returned to the house for
the purpose OF getting the trunk sup
posed to contain the gold. While they
were hitcbing their horses they saw John
Sontag enter the house. EVaGs also
entered, but after the officers had gone
in be denied that Sontag was there. De
tictiye Smith entered the bedroom and
saw Soutag standing there, holding
double bsrrelled gun At that moment 1t
was found Evans also had gun. The
officers then ran out of the house aud
into the road, Evans pursuing Wbitty
and Soutag pursuing Smith. Both men
fred several shots az the officers. Witty
was hit and fell Smith was elso slight
ly injured in the back and hands by shot
Evans and Sontsg then jumped into the
wagon which the officers had left and
drove away. Smith states that be found
in Evans house the material from which
the masks were made, and be also found
that the team used by the robbers
Wednesday night was hired in Visalla by
John Sontag.
A HUNDRED MEN IN PURSUIT.
Half an hour after Smith and Witty
had their encounter with the robbers a
hundred men were in purusit, but up to
the present moment they have not been
captured. Whltty was shot under the
right shoulder, the bullet coming out
under the left arm. His back and one |
side of the face were we'll spriukled with
shot from shotgun. Smiths wounds |
were scratches. The opinion is general |
rbat had Smith awaited the arrival of |
Sheriff Cunningham and Detective |
Thacker, the men would have been ar.
rested. Evans IS well acquainted with
the mountains east of here, and the |
chances are that upon reaching the tim
ber he will escape. He has wife and
seyen children here. Sontag has been
to Evans eldest daughter.
Sontag has been a railroad engineer.
The two men, year ago, kept livery
stable at Modesto, which was destroyed
by fire. Sontsg has been under sur
veilauce of the officers for some time.

BEAUTIFUL LAKE CHELAN.
Traveller From That Favored Spot Wis
iting In Seattle.

/. III. Woodin, of Chelan, is stopping at
the Diller. Mr.. Woodin. who came from
Minneapolis four years ago and settled at
the foot of the beautiful lake in the Okla
hogan hills, is an enthusiast over the re-
gion in which he lives. Last night he
said: when / came to Lake Chelan
there were only four our five families near
the present settlement, but now there is a
village of 500 or 900 inhabitants, with a
schoolhouse and stores and two church
organizations. Then, too, We have three
steamers on the lake.
81 believe that the whole United States
cannot show a more beautiful place in
summer. The lake is sixty-eight miles
long and two and half miles wide. At
the lower end it lies among rolling hills,
but it runs back among mountain peaks
whose tops rise above the line of vegeta-
ton. One stream that empties into it
Railroad creek-falls sheer 1900 feet
over a precipice, and the water, though
quite large in volume, becomes almost a
mist. Above this fall is another of 900
feet. and beyond that an exquisite little
mountain lake fed from glacier covering
tract ten miles square. There is game
in abundance, bear, deer and mountain
goats. Could you want better place for
q summer outing?

covered in the neighborhood during this

THE CONTRABAND CHINESE.
Puget Sound Is Not the Only Place
Where They Are Struggled.

From the tone of the dispatches in the
newspapers of this country it might be in
ferred that most of the contraband Chi
nese who are Struggled into the United
States evade the vigilance of the inspect
ors of the Puget sound collection district.
The fact is, however, that this smuggling
is going on along the whole Cana
dian border from the Pacific to
the Atlantic. Though this district
presents long and sinuous coast line,
and is so heavily wooded that the trans
portation under cover of contraband Chi
nese is comparatively easy, and though
the district is the most accessible from
Vancouver. where the Cinnamon are
landed from the Canadian Pacific steamers.
yet it is not likely that more than thirty a
week get into Western Washington from
Canada. The hundreds ofothers who come
annually to Vancouver go into other dis
tricts.

gard to smuggling Cinnamon:

A DAMP DEPUTY SHERIFF..
He Has . Weary Struggle In the sinu
osities Of Sammamish slough,

Deputy Sheriff Patrick Farraher had an
adventure on Sammamish slough the
other day that he does not want to repeat.
He was out serving subpenas, and one
of the men he wanted to see lived at
Charles Birds logging camp. about six
miles from Bothell. The deputy took a
rowboat and started for the camp. By
some mischance he got into the wrong
slough, and the water being high
he was deceived by its appearance,
and kept rowing against the current
for four hours. By that time he thought
that he must be in the vicinity of the camp
and. as he saw clearing, he landed and
made his way through the underbrush to
find house if possible
1t was then nearly dark and Farraher
was unable to find any house. He re-
turned to where he left his boat, only to
find that it had foated away upon the
rising waters. Two hours later q very
much Disguised deputy sheriff, with a
water-soaked subpoena in his pocket,
struggled into the camp that he had started
for. He had found an old road leading
through the woods and had walked three
miles in the hope of finding house.

ond precinct-C. J. Clark and C. H. Lilly:

W. III. Hughes was nominated as a men,
bef of the city central committee from the
Eighth ward. G. G. Lyon nominated ].
L. Kahaley, and Mr.. Hughes seconded the
nomination and withdrew in favor of Mr..
Kaha!ey, who was unanimously elected
In response to calls for speech, Mr..
Kahaley said he hoped the club would
never have reason 10 regret his election as
member of the committee, and that he
would do what he could 10 faithfully rep
resent the club and all the Republicans in
the ward while holding the position.
Mr.. Bacley urged the raising OF some
funds TO defray the expenses of the club,
but Mr. Lyon said these expenses had
usually been met by the central commit.
tee and he did not believe in forcing the
members to contribute. A number of
those present made voluntary contribu-
tons.
About fifty signed the roll of member
ship.
The question of having the polling place
of the First precinct removed from the
corner of Thomas and Warren streets to

ecutive committee.

cided 10 discuss the proposed amendments

ing Mr. Bagley agreed TO explain the ob-
iect of the different amendments at the
next meeting.
J. r. Kinnear, referring 70 the Holman
economy" resolution in congress, said
that the very first thing the present Demo
cratic congress has done has been in op-
position TO progress; that the peo-
pie here want coast defenses and
the Nicaraguan canal needs aid, but this
congress evidently does not propose TO
make any appropriations for these and
similar public improvements, and that the
Democracy. in taking this stand, is butt
ing its brains out in the Northwest.
