"REPUBLICAN GAINS In THE CiTiEs.
The New York Sun is an erratic paper
politically. but it cannot be accused OF a
lack Of acuteness. There is, therefore,
degree of significance to be attached
to its comment ON this springs elections.
East and west, it says, "The Republi-
cans appear to have made decided gains
in all the large cities. This was seen in
Chicago, in Providence, in Milwaukee,
in the Michigan town elections, and In
those nearer home in New York, par
ticularly in Rochester, Syracuse, Lock
port, Utica, Albany and Oswego. Again
it has just been seen in Jersey City,"
Yet it is upon the cities of the country
that the Democracy has been in the
habit of relying for its majorities. The
rural population in all the doubtful
States is Republican. If the cities fail
it, the Democracy is doomed. "Why,"
asks the Sun. should the Republicans
in the spring elections of 1892 gain gen.
orally in the industrial cities Of the
country, unless it is that in the discus
sion of the national questions incident
to this years battle the revolutionary
plans Of the free trade extremists have
diverted from the partys support a
great body of voters whose Democracy
is undoubted?"
In other words, isn't it possible that
the Educational campaigns" of the
tariff reformers are educating intelligent
workingmen out Of all conceit with the
party that would compel them to COM
pete on even terms with men earning
from third to a half their present
wages?

ELECTION OF TRUSTEES
The Chamber of Commerce
Chooses a Board for the
Ensuing Year
Another Piece of Ex- Marshal
Parker's Fine Work Comes
to Light
c. d. Francis Acting Manager
of the Bellingham Bay
National Bank

The annual election of trustees Of the
Chamber Of Commerce was held yes
serday between the hours of 10 "a. m.
and p. m. at the Fairhaveu National
bank, Robert Wardrop, |. Frankenbur-
ger and Major Darling acting as judges.
The Bylaws Of the corporation provide
that "no member shall be allowed 20
vote for trustee or be elected as a trus-
tee, until payment of all dues against
him and of his membership Tor so far
as provided in these Bylaws" The
poll list of the election shows that
thirty members voted, or about half
the members in good standing. Con-
sidering all the circumstances and the
many difficulties and discour-
agements which have attended
the Inauguration of the work of the
chamber, the number in arrears is very
small. The total delinquency for dues,
including those temporarily absent and
those who have withdrawn because of
removal from the city or for other rea-
sons, is less than $50, fully half of
which will doubtless be paid. The
total receipts TO date have been about
81 200 and total expenditures about
S400.
Yesterdays election resulted in but
little change in the board, the follow
ing named gentlemen having been
chosen TO serve as trustees until Febru-
airy 8, 1893: A. III. Clarke, NJ. G. Nc
DOugal, G. w. Waldron, Frank j.
Hamilton, ii. l.. Dickinson, J. II.
Bloedel, T. w. Gillette, ELI Wilkin
and Robert Wardrop. A meeting of
the board will be held Thursday even
ing at the office of Mr.. Hamilton for
the election of officers and the trans
action of other business Of importance.
The next meeting Of the chamber, as a
body, will be held Monday evening,
February Sth.

A MEMENTo OF PARKER
Another Draft Sent to Pay Taxes That
Was Not Credited

Another Draft Sent to Pay Taxes That
Was Not Credited
A draft for S22.75 sent by w. f..
Pierce, of Spokane, TO w. 5. Parker
for the payment Of taxes, is the latest
addition to the amount of the shortage
Of the swarthy absconder. The draft
was sent TO A. II. Clarke, of this city,
together with a communication TO the
city council from T.. J. Dyer, cashier
of the Exchange National bank of
Spokane, where the draft was pur-
chased, and affidavit by Mr.. Pierce.
The draft was drawn November on
the First National bank of Portland.
1t was made payable TO Mr.. Pierce and
endorsed by him on the back.
1t is stamped on the back
by the Bane of California, the Bank Of
Amsterdam, New York city, the First
National Bank of Portland, and Ladd
Il TiltOn's bank. Underneath Mr..
Pierce's endorsement is the name Of b.
B. Day. Who b. b. Day is, and how
he got in on it are mysteries, but he
was evidently identified. 1t is evident
that the draft was cashed in New York
city at the Bank of Amsterdam, and
was sent from there TO San Francisco,
and from there to Portland and got
back to Spokane January 26. Mr.
Pierce's property, il is needless TO say,
was returned by Parker on the de-
linquent list.

WILL MAKE CONNECTIONS
Great Northern and G. p. r. Trains
Meet at Sehome Dock

BY new arrangement between the
Great Northern and the Bellingham
Bay q British Columbia railroads the
trains of the two roads now connect al
the Sebome dock. This new arrange.
ment took effect yesterday. The trans
continental train leaving here at 2:2O %.
m. waits the arrival of the morning
train from Seattle, and transfers pas
sengers and baggage before coming up
from the wharf. This permits passen-
gers who wish TO go East over the
Canadian Pacific railway to come bv
train instead of boat from Seattle and
make close connections at this town i'm
place of the former arrangement which
| required them to leave Seattle the
/ night before and wait several hours here
tor connections with the overland
train.
| In speaking Of this new arrangement.
then IN contemplation, the Post Intel
llgencer, in its issue of Sunday says:
Within few days the Great North
ern road will begin carrying the Cana
dian Pacific through business TO Sc
attle and other points north of here.
Arrangements are about completed for
freight and passengers to come from
the Canadian Pacific main line over
the Mission branch, the Bellingham
Bay d British Columbia and the Great
Northern. The transcontinental tariff
VIII apply on this business, as talreadv
does on the Northern Pacific, Lake
Shore and Seattle d Northern roads.
This Will begin in earnest war be-
tween the Northern Pacific, in connec-
ton with the Lake Shore, and the
Canadian Pacific in connection with
the Great Northern, for Puget sound
business. The war is already on i'm
small way. The Great Northern has
refused TO prorate on business coming
from the Northern Pacific and Lake
Shore roads TO points on its line. The
most important points reached directly
by the Great Northern and not by the
Lake Shore are the BelIingham bay
towns, and the Northern Pacific has
been reaching them by hauling freight
over the Lake Shore to Sumas, and
thence over the Bellingham Bay d
British Columbia TO New WhatcOm.
In the Skagit valley the Northern
Pacific has slight advantage through
its traffic arrangement with the Seattle
u Northern, though the Great North
ern gets in also at Burlington and
Sedro. Yet nearly all the business of
the Skagit valley is gathered up by the
Seattle q Northern and delivered to
the Lake Shore at Sedro.

A Hole Like a Huge Piece of

Severe Damage to the Premier.
The Woodwork of Her
Bow Torn Away

The Premier sustained serious dam
age yesterday morning on her trip
from Seattle, in collision with Nor
wegian bark at anchor at Port Town
send. She was entering Port Townsend
harbor about o'clock i'm the morning
at full speed. Although three officers
were on watch no lights were seen and
the hull of the vessel did not come into
view until too late to check the Pre-
mier's speed. She struck the stern of
the ship on the starboard quarter, cut
ting into her masy feet with IA terrific
shock and crash. The passengers
rushed from their staterooms into the
cabin in alarm, but were soon quieted
when assured that the vessel was in no
danger of sinking. 1t took some time
TO cut away 80 that the Premier could
get clear of the wreckage. Her bow was
crushed in 50 that she presented dis
tressing sight upon her arrival here.
The wood work above the iron plating
was entirely carried away for distance
Of eight or ten feet, and several plates
of her hull were badly cracked aud
bent A heavy wooden beam from the
bark, which had been driven in solidly
by the force Of the collision, was cut Off
and brought away with the Premier.
