SPOKANE Is MIXED.
Dan Drumheller, a Democrat, is
Elected Mayor.

the Republicans Get tAe Rest of
the CITY offices, but the Demo-
Gratis Have a Majority of the
City Council.
SPOKANE, May A. The municipal election
resulted in the election of Daniel M. Drum
heller democrat, by 300 plurality, and a
democratic majority in the council of 5 to5.
The Washington Water Power company
and other corporations, in forcing John p
Graves, an unpopular republican, upon the
ticket for mayor, was the cause Of the re-
publican defeat. Wtscomb, republican.
was elected city treasurer. Tyler, republi-
can, was elected comptroller. Rothrock,
republican, was elected city attorney. Mes
tor, democrat, was elected city assessor, but
an amendment to the charter abolishing
Office of city assessor was carried. This
leaves all the offices outside Of the council
and mayor in the hands Of the republicans.
SPOKANE, Wash, May Complete re-
turns of yesterdays election show that
Drumheller, democrat, for mayor, is elect
ed over Graves by plurality Of 255. Tyler,

publican candidate for treasurer, is elected
by a plurality of 519. All the proposed
charter amendments were carried. The
democrats have eight out of fifteen coun-

urday and Sunday, on the Northern Pa
cife railroad The train from Seattle and
Tacoma on Saturday morning will arrive
in Olympia shortly after 8 o'clock and
leave for Ocosta about $50, arriving there

"A MAIL ROUTE.

Regular Boat wanted TO Hart
stetn's Island and North Bay.
M. O. Fuller, of Hartstein Island, was in
the city today and advanced some admira-
Bile points on the necessity of establishing
permanent mail route between Olympia
and Hartstein and Squaxin Islands, North
Bay, Vaughn, Allen and Detroit. AT pres
ent there is no postoffice on the island, but
there is everything to warrant it. Mr.. Full
Ter has addressed a communication to SEN
ator Squire, urging his cooperation in the
efforts OF the islanders.
The residents OF the island want regu-
lar boat to ply between these points, and
when the matter is carefully considered
the advantage to Olympia as a business
proposition is apparent On Hartstein's
Island alone, there are sixty voters, while
on Squaxin Island the Indians are numer-
GUS. All this trade, by the epresentarrange-
ment, goes to Shelton or Tacoma but the
running of a regular boat would bring it to
Olympia ON HaTTsteln lslaIdj school
district has been organized, polling pre-
cinct has been applied for, and a county
road, the full length of the island, (about
10 miles), is to be opened. If the mer-
chants Of Olympia will interest themselves
| in this movement, the value will readily
become apparent.

There is a good deal Of feeling in certain
quarters relating to some people pushing
themselves in front of the entertainment
Of the naval officers when they were not on
the committee, were not invited and per
haps not wanted. Several boxes were
bought at the theater on Saturday night by
the committee for the officers Of the vessel
and they were quickly filled by those who
were not the guests of the committee of
citizens A room was engaged by the COM
mittee at Doane's for refreshments and was
taken by officious persons several minutes
ahead of the arrival of the visitors. Atthe
hotel last night these same "tuft hunters"
it is said attempted to carry off and monop-
Eolize all the honors of the occasion much
to the disgust of some, and the amusement
of others, who had watched the toadyism
until they were compelled to go down to
the drug store to get dose of medicine to
settle their stomach. In fact the pro-
gramme mapped out by the committee
was interfered with by cheek, cheek, cheek.
"It is to be hoped that when the splendid
man-of-War Yorktown arrives here, that we
may be spared any more slobbering," said
a citizen this morning, who helped pay for
the last entertainment and did not get an
invitation TO last nights ball.

senator DoIph,s Poker Hand

WASHINGTON, May 4. Some one has
started poker story on the venerable SEN
ator Dolph which may or may not be true.
Its authenticity may be doubted, because
Mr.. Dolph was never before accused Of card
playing; but there was an excuse this time,
for he was on railroad train, and to break
the monotony of a dreary ride he permitted
himself to be enticed into little game Of
draw 1t was an ordinary little game, in
tended solely to kill time, and it proceeded
without noteworthy event until some one
opened a jackpot and drew two cards, Mr..
Dolph astayingn and drawing one. The
opener bet and Mr.. Dolph called. '"Three
aces. !" said the first. "That's good, sighed

Who Killed sherfHDunno

GARDEN CITY, Kan, March 2G.-It is
now stated that Sheriff Dunn, of Seward
county, was not murdered by the gang
that threatened to kill Judge Botkin, but
by some of his own deputies, who did the
deed in order to secure some money and
valuable notes he had in his possession.
The authority for this information is W.
B. Orner, of Seward county, who was
accused of being the chief conspirator in
the plot to assassinate Judge Botkin. He
claims to have CLEANED this discovery from
a woman who was an intimate friend of
Sheriff Dunn and who was well acquainted
with his finances

AN ENGLISH REVIEWS OPINION.
Thinks the solution of the Troubl,
Lies with Canada.

Thinks the solution of the Trouble
Lies with Canada.
LONDON, March 26.-The Saturday Re
view, commenting upon the Behring sea
controversy, says:
The question is mainly Canadian ques-
tion. The worst of the fighting. if fighting
there Is to be, will fall upon Canada, and
Canada is eminently vulnerable. That is pre-
clsely what gives Importance to the recurring
1nsolence of American politicians. If the
Canadians decide that the danger is too great
and the game not worth the candle there will
he no reason for England prolonging the nego-
tiations. If they think the right TO fish for
seals this season is worth fighting for we pre-
sumo they will have counted the cost.
Complains of Uncle Sans "Rudeness."
Al any rate this is the way we should have
to reason and calculate if England were deal
ing with European power which could be
credited with carrying on the negotiations in
tie interest of the state and not of party.
With America the case may be, and probably
+. different. The experience of generations in
rrcurrent disputes at Washington, all devised
;" meet the eXigencics of presidential cleo
tions, all conducted with n violence of Ian
guagc unparalleled in European diplomacy,
ANA all ending more or less, in smoke, makes
II more than likely that nothing more serious
will happen now. After the discreditable
Chillian affair Mr.. Harrison is naturally rude
to us, and recent gushing and Inaudlin tax
about sister peoples, union of the Anglo
Saxon race, etc, siller than ever this sort of
talk usually is, has evidently been taken as a
Sign that England is afraid.
England Doesn't Want to Fight.
Nevertheless it takes two to make war, and
the disinclination for war Is very strong here
II the report be correct that England does not
intend to resist-tie carrying out of the Ame-i-
can police regulations in BChring sea, there
will be no quarrel In that case il seems
pity that negotiations were hPouO Taking
this course now appears like ahumiliating con-
tession of weakness. Anyhow, the arbitration
treaty only serves to hamper our hands.
Read between the lines the Reviews
article seems like a preparation to Justify
Lord Salisbury in a backdown.

was general feeling that 1t mad been
fully discussed and that next week a vote
ON the main question could be taken.
There was general BELIEF that the treaty
would be ratified then without restriction.
Nothing Exciting al the Cabinet Meeting.
The cabinet meeting was not exciting.
hardly interesting in news sense. There
was nothing to do in the Behring sea mat
ter, and it was discussed only informally.
There was no truth in the statement pub
lished in the New York Times to the effect
that the Russian minister had notified the
president that his government would in
crease the Russian fleet in Behring sea- A

ground that the salaries must be raised by

American system. The bill was lost by a

A SUGGESTION TO HIS LoRD5HIP.

How He can Avoid Trouble and Perhaps
Accumulate Shekles.
A gentleman who has had long expert
ence in the region about which the seal
fisheries center, speaking of the BehrinG
sea situation said: England does not
want war with the United States, and
do not believe she will send any of her
war ships to the waters. She will not
resist the seizure of Canadian seal poach-
ers by United States men-of-war, but will
60 into the United States courts and sue
for damages, which will more than COM
pensate her for the loss of seals, if she
wins. If the courts decide against her,
then in my opinion the whole matter will
be submitted to arbitration and indemnity
agreed upon. Whatever else happens,
England will not be the loser"
The Debate in the Senate.
The senate yesterday again devoted
itself to the Behring sea arbitration treaty,
but did not take any action. But from
the character of the discussion and the dis
position shown by the senators who took
part in it, there is every reason to believe
that the debate has about reached its con-
clusion and that a vote will be taken early
next week with the ratification of the
treaty as result. InlS Is the situation in
a nutshell. There was vigorous contin-
gent of statesmen, including FELTON, of
California and other occidentals, which
opposed ratification out of hand. Itwould
be disrespectful to Russia, who sold us the
rights we were now talking of arbitrating
and might strain our relations with that
country.
Modus yivendi or no Treaty.
Then there was a stronger element in
Guiding Frye, Teller, Butler and Chandler,
who insisted that the ratification must be
made to depend on modus vivendi for
this year; and last but not least was the
element, led by Sherman, which favored
ratification without conditions. Sherman
did not think that the way to get England
to exchange ratifcations was to threaten
her. He also held that Uncle Sam should
go ahead in the arbitration spirit and
let England take the responsibility of de-
| feating that method of settling the trouble.
The Debate About Exhausted.
When the senate concluded the discus
sion, after it had been behind closed doors
| for nearly two and a half hours, it had
| taken no action on the treaty or on any OF
! the PROPOSITIONS relating to it. but there
