TAXES ON COAL MINES OUTPUT.
State Auditor Reed Proposes to Enforce
q Neglected Law.

OLYMPIA, Jan. %. - Especial. - State
Auditor Reed today addressed letter to
all the coal mining companies of the
state, calling attention to their failure TO
pay the tax, provided for by law, of 4 mills
per ton on the output of their mines.
This tax has not been paid since 1888,
IN which year the territorial treasurer
and auditor held that the law providing
for such taxation was repealed by the act
OF February ,, 1883, relating to coal mines.
and Treasurer Blodgett declined to receive
the taxes rendered by the companies. The
taxing provisions are held by AUDI
ltor Reed TO be still in force
and they appear as sections
2,2il and PAP in the Hill code. The aud
itor therefore demands the prompt pay
ment into the state treasury of mills for
each ton Of coal mined since the payments
ceased. If payment is not made the
county attorneys will be instructed to
bring suit for the collection of the sums
due. The taxes collected will 20 into a
fund which will be used in paying the SAL
aries and expenses of coal mine inspectors.
and for this reason 1t IS believed that the
law in question does not contravene the
constitutional provisions that all taxation
shall be uniform.

CHASING AMURDERER
Indian George, Who Killed
Younkin, Breaks Away.
A PROMINENT PIONEER INSANE.
'11rs. Grant, OF Seattle" who Gave
tress, . Protegs of Bandmann.

WHArcoM, Jan. 23.-TSpecial. 1.-THE muir
der of Moses Younkin has been fixed be-
yond doubt on the Indians George and
Thomas Place. Sheriff De Lorlmer today
took George, the elder of the two Indians.
to the scene of the tragedy. The Indian
promised to show the sheriff the place
where he and his companion left the track
for the beach on the night of the murder.
The footprints shown were old and had
been washed by the rain, and no rain had
occurred since the kill ng. While examin-
ing the tracks in the mud near the beach,
the Indian, who was neither handcuffed
nor guarded, sat on the railroad track
without attempting to escape. When the
sheriff returned to the track he told the
Indian he would show him where the
murderers had left the track. These
tracks were fresh. and had been made
when the murderers took TO the
beach. Shortly after the Indian suddenly
showed the sheriff over a steep bank and
ran. The sheriff recovered quickly, got to
the track and fired two shots at the fleeing
brave, who has not been recaptured.
While passing the place where the kill
ing was done, with the sheriff and George
jenkins, the Indian showed nervousness.
1t is thought that when the footprints of
the murderers were shown the Indian he
was fearful of a measurement of the
tracks and concluded to escape.
The two Indians bought supper at the
Kennedy hotel in Lummi after the trag-
edy. and were drunk and excited. Indian
George has good farm on the reservation.
A whisky bottle, nearly empty, was found
near the murdered man. Another i'm
portant fact is that the Indians had
bundle near Lummi, and Samuel Blunt,
who came to the track to chop a log about
the time OF the killing, saw the supposed
murderer leaving the track with a bundle
at the point where the sheriff showed to
the Indian the footprints. The coroner's
inquest is not yet finished.
Had the Indian calculated right the
sheriff would have fallen hundred feet.
The sheriff at once offered large reward
for the arrest of the escaped man. The
Indian police and q multitude of white
men are tonight securing the woods. The
man will probably be captured before
morning.
Indian, Thomas Place, has confessed to
the sheriff. He states that his uncle, the
escaped man, wanted him to kill Youn-
kin. but he refused, whereupon the older
man Drained Younkin with club. The
boy confesses he is only 16 years old,
while the uncle is over 40. If captured
the murderer is in danger of lynching.
although the sheriff will protect him and
prevent any hasty action. The Indians
were probably drunk

MOTH YAKIMA, Jan. 23.-[Special. i
Some excitement has been created in

property of Captain J. FL. Thomas, but the
nature of the soil is the same for dis

ground to give employment to 500 miners

Port Townsend Quarantine Station.

WASHINGTON CRY, Jan. 23.-fSpeciaI.l /
Representative Wilson has at last secured
something from DR.. Wyman, chief of the
marine hospital service. which looks as if
the quarantine station near Port Town
send would be built, for which $50 900 has
been appropriated for several years past.
Mr.. Wilson has been informed that an
agent of the hospital service has sent re-
port to DR.. Wyman, stating that a site for
the quarantine station satisfactory to all
of the people Of that section has been
secured. This matter has been hanging
fire long while, and Mr.. Wilson feels
very much pleased that it has finally been
settled. The doctor has also recommended
to Economist Holman that an appropria
ton OF $4,000 should be made to repair
the marine hospital at Port Townsend.
Mr.. Wilson says that it is possible that
this may be put through during the ses
sion. but this, like ali other appropriations
for improvements i'll Washington, must
depend upon the Democratic House, which
is trying to make record for economy.

and his present plan contempt ates a naval
demonstration in the vicinity of Valpar-
also.
In the New York navy yard activity
continues. The dynamite cruiser Vesu-
vius is in the dry dock having her fight
ing tower protected with chain arrnor.
The torpedo boat Cushing is also being
fitted out with tubes. There are now
1900 men employed in the yards, dis
tributed in the different departments.
Orders to Rear Admiral Gherardi, COM
mandant of the North Atlantic squadron,
TO proceed with the Philadelphia and Con-
cord to Montevideo, are looked upon by
officers here as anticipating the presidents
message and possible action thereon.
Orders to those vessels have been inter-
preted as meaning that they shall
continue on to Chile. If the pres
ent idea is carried out the Phila-
delphia, Chicago. Charleston, Baltimore,
San Francisco, Boston, Atlanta, York
town, Concord and Bennington will be
rendezvoused at Valparaiso. They mount
ninety large breech-loading rifles as main
battery and 124 Hotchkiss and Calling
guns as secondary battery. If the Newark
should be added TO the fleet she would add
twelve large rifles and seventeen second
sry guns. The question of coal supply for
the American cruisers might be partially
solved by the seizure of Sandy Point, q
Chilean settlement in the Straits of Magel-
Ian, where there are extensive coal
mines. As the place is not fortified il
would be easy Of capture. Every prepare
ton is being made for demonstration.
Great quantities of coal are being pur-
chased and stored where the United States
can get al il whenever wanted, and the
department has given special attention to
the problem of coaling at sea.
The president has submitted 10 congress
n communication from Secretary Tracy,
approving the selection of Algiers, on the
right bank of the Mississippi river, near
the gulf of Mexico, as a suitable site for a

Thursday which resulted in the death of
the infant daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.

the water from the reservoir into the

an opening covered by bolted cast iron

Two stockmen named C. A. Nelson and 2.
v, Sanders, of Stonehouse, New, were
walking on top of train which contained
their stock and were struck and knocked
from the train when it entered
snowshed. Nelson was knocked be-
tween the last car and the caboose
and killed. Both legs were horribly
mangled, and the head was cut in four or
five places. He evidently fell with his
legs across the track. The brakebeam of
the caboose cut his head and face and
caused injuries which resulted in death.
Sanders is suffering from an injury on the
base of the skull which will probably prove
fatal. At present he is conscious and
talks freely. He was knocked off the
train, but was only hit in the head by the
shed and not by the train.
