OLYMPIA, Nov. la.-ISpecial.l Judge
Robinson today filed his resignation as
judge OF the Thurston superior court with
Gov. Ferry. Though the governor holds
that the term for which Judge Robinson
was appointed ran only until the recent
generai election. and that II. ]. Gordon,
who vas elected for both short and long
terms. may qualify st once under such
election. Mr.. Gordon is in doubt, and the
governor Will therefore commission him
on Monday and there viii be no question
about his title.
The constitution makes no provision for
canvasslng the votes for supreme judges
ana there Is question as to whether the
legislature has made any provision for II,
but Secretary Weir will certify to Gov.
Ferry the vote for the judges, and the
governor will commission the successful
candidates. The same uncertainty exists
as to state printer. Returns for the other
state officers will be transmitted sealed, to
the speaker OF the house, who will open
them and declare the result in the pres
ence OF both houses.

MORE SMALLPOX AT TACOMA.
Diseased Great Northern LaboYer Ar
rested in a Saloon,


TACOMA, Nov. 19-fSpecial. AS was
feared, the Great Northern contributed the
first additional case OF smallpox. Swan
Johnson, a Swede, taken in charge
this evening in . saloon, was pro.
aounced to be suffering from small
pox and removed 20 the pes.
house. He says be left Great Northern
camp in Snohomish county over a week
ago, came here via Seattle, stopped here in
the Niger tract, and then went TO Stella
COON and returned yesterday. Dr.. Arm
strong denies the rumor that Johnson was
taken to county hospital and that on
that account the hospital was quarantined.
Railroad labo1ers now in Lewis and
Cheha!is counties, who may be paid off
soon. will be watched and treated just as
the Great Northern laborers will be, should
they come here.
Seattle is credited by Tacoma health
officials with exercising wise precaution-
airy measures in dealing with smallpox
subjects, and 50 long as this is continued,
it is not deemed necessary to do any quar-
antinlng here against Great Northern La
borers.
Decker, who was removed from the
Haistead house suffering from smallpox,
is recovering. No other cases have de-
veloped at the lodging houses where the
cases originated, and fourteen days having
elapsed, the auarantined inmates will be
allowed to go their way on Monday.
Some Of those who have been quar-
antined at the lodging houses say
it IS long time since they had such fine
time with all expenses paid Others will
demand that the city, besides feeding and
lodging them, shall pay them at q per
diem rate for the number of days they
have been detained in quarantine.
The Blaine smallpox patient was named
Reuben Pfeffer. He went from seattle to What.
com by boat. then walked TO Blaine. He died
last Monday.

NO LIKELIHOOD OF AN EPIDEMIC
Smallpox Not Among Great Northern
Graders, but Tracklayers.


OLYMPIA, Nov. l9.-fSpecial. Treasurer
elect Bowen, who was in Seattle Thursday
and Friday to interview Great Northern
officials. in his capacity as member OF the
state board of health, relative to the ex-
istence of smallpox along their line, said
today:
found that the situation was not as serious
as supposed, and that there is very little danger
OF the spread of the disesse. There are few
cases and these are now isolated. The working.
men who are leaving the road are graders and
none of these have been exposed The sick men
belonged to the ,raeklaying gang ana trackiay-
ers will be empoyed for thirty days yet, when
al danger viii be over unless new cases
develop. The snohomish county commissioners
wanted the railroad company 10 bear the expense
OF caring for the patients, on the ground that
each workman contributed cents per day on,
OF his wages to hospital fund, but il appears
that il is the graders and not the tracklayers
who have made this contribution. The patients
are yet IL tents, but I informed tina, the
smallpox patients sc. along quite well in such
quarters. as they need to be kept cool.
The state board of health will take no
action in the matter.

CANADIAN PACIFIC BLOCKADED.
Great LandsIides at Hope and Port
Eaney-Rridges In Danger.


NEW WEsTAIssTER. Nov. D.-Ispecial. +
The gale last night and today was the
eeverest IN several years. Shipping gen.
orally was tied up, and the steamer to Vic
toria did not leave the river. Telegraph
wires were down in ALI directions this
morning. and news from all parts of this
district this evening is that the roads gen.
orally are blocked by fallen trees. An i'm
mepse boom of logs broke from its fasteu-
ings in Pitt river and jammed against the
railway bridge. seriously endangering that
structure. The jam was finally broken
and the strain removed.
The Canadian Pacific express from the
East today is cancelled in consequence of a
couple or more of land and rock slides
which occurred along the line last night
The torrents of rain which fell during the
night loosened an immense mass of
boulders and earth from the bluff on the
line near Hope station. One great rock
iumbled down on the track, twisting the
steel rails out of shape, breaking the ties
into splinters and ripping up the roadbed.
An explosion Of dynamite could not have
created more havoc. When daylight
came the operator at Hope wired
to Vancouver for wrecking car,
new rails and ties and gang of
men to repair the damage. An effort
was made to send the required
assistance, but huge mud slide between
Port Hammond and Port Haney blocked
the line, and this obstacle had to be re-
moved first.
The slide near Port Haney occurred at
an early hour this morning, and is said to
be the largest at that point in several
years. A great slice of the bank above
the track broke of and slipped over the
line, burying the rails for distance of
over 800 feet. A gang Of men was sent up
from Vancouver and Westminster which
began work early to clear the way.

portion OF the city small cloudburst oc-
