E y J. e. B. D / I
man Of great discretion and Judgment
He certainly showed wonderful sagacity
in declining all the assistance that was
offered to him."
"Suppose for instance that he had 90;
cepted aid from either the Calico, Mo-
ravia, or Manhansett; suppose, also.
that as either Of these vessels with the
Umbria in tow, the gale which has
been blowing from the northwest for
the Inst week, shifted TO the east, II
would not be anything unusual II the
tow hawser should part. In that case,
what could the Umbria do 10 save her
self? Her machinery would be disa-
sbled. She would be on q lee shore, In
sa gale Of wind, and nothing in the
world could save her from destruction
and her passengers from death. In.
stead Of that however, Captain Mckay
refuses assistance, lies to 500 miles from
shore, where he can drift and DRIFT
without getting into danger and repairs
his machinery, SO that when he does
get near the shore he will have his chip
underfull control"
sIdHTED ny ANOTHER VESSEL.
Close behind the Manhansett, there
arrived here the Dutch steamer Ocean,.
also bearing tidings Of the Umbria.
Captain Casper had seen the cunarder
on Monday at noon, an hour and thirty
minutes before the Manhansett had
spoken the belated steamer. The
UmbFia at noon was hove to In latitude-
42.S9, longitude 57.53. 1t will be obs
served thus that between noon, when
the Ocean sighted the Umbria, and 1880
p. M. when she was spoken by the Man-s
hansett, the overdue boat had made
some progress, Captain Casper reports
q furious gale blowing at the time, but
the Umbria showed no signal OF dis.
tress.
Manager Robert Floyd was the first
TO arrive at the Cunard Office this
morning. He camc in smiling and
greeted the reporters gathered In the
counting room very cheerfully and in
marked contrast to his manner Of yes
lterdaY morning.
"We'now consider It almost certain,
he said, that the Umbria Is safe, and
that she is making her way slowly to
New York. We not think she is being
towed by any other steamship but Is
coming in under her own steam.
The North German Lloyd steamship
Lain, which arrived last night from
Bremen, did not see the Umbria, and
had a frightfully rough passage.
Zone unusual feature concerning the
overdue Umbria this morning was the
entire absence Of anxious inquirers at
the various points whore the first news
other safe arrival wlllbe received.
Nearly all the friends Of the passen.
gers have arranged to receive the first
news by special message from Fire Is
land.

WAsH,SaToN, D. O., Dec, 30.-It is a
singular commentary on American in

by stress Of circumstances to conduct
the business Of his Office in q building,
the principal part OF which is quaran-
tined by the local health authorities.
The President's grand-child is down
with the scarlet fever, and the entire
.household from the President down are
in more or less danger from the con-
tagiou.
One Of the effects Of the present con.
.dition Of affairs at the white house is TO
DELAY the formal presentation to the
President OF the Brazilian commissions
ers; who are now in this eityfor the
3purpose Of submitting TO his arhitra-
ment the question in dispute between
Brazil and the Argentine Republic over
the Missioner boundary line They
presented request 70 that effect to
Secretary John w. Foster yesterday,
but at his suggestion the ceremony has
been deferred tor the present on ae-
count OF sickness In the Presidents 8

Allmeetings Of the cabinet have been
called of for the present. The mem
bers, however, visit the President when-
ever necessary. The President went

LOCAL HAPPENINGS.
A NEW INSTITUTE BUILDING.

A meeting was held in the directors
room of the First National bank yester-
day afternoon, by a committee OF the
Olympia Collegiate institute, for the pur-
pose of considering propositions for the re-
moval of the institute from its present site
and the construction of new building.
All the members of the committee were
present. They were M. G.. Royal, ]. w.
Robinson, @. B. Mann, T. J. McBratney
and r. A. Ford. 1t was definitely settled
that the school would not be removed more
than mile and half from the business
center of the city. Two propositions are
being considered, both of which are based
on land subsidies. One is from the North
Olympia Land company, and the other is
from Charles Billings. Before the formal
meeting OF the committee, a short confer
ence was held with Henry Drum, who came
down from Tacoma on the morning train
and was obliged to return in the afternoon.
Mr.. Drum and Walter Thompson are the
chief owners in the land company mem
+ toned. 1t is understood that Mr.. Drum
is heartily in favor of securing the college
near Priests Point if possible. An unof.
tcial proposition has been made by Will
lam Billings to furnish the Institute with
building stone from the Tenino quarry in
exchange for the present site and building
OF the Olympia Collegiate Institute. All
the details will be laid before the public at
meeting to be held soon. A committee to
arrange for this meeting was appointed,
consisting of Geo. B Scammell, Charles
Billings, Geo. A. Mottman, G. B. Mann,
A, H: Chambers, John f. Convey and o,

THE MARsHA1 EXERCISED.

City Marshal Sayidge was exercised this
morning about the legality of the city
ordinance prohibiting cattle from running
at large within the city limits. 1t seems
that in a recent opinion the supreme court
ruled that cities of the third class had no
right to pass such an ordinance. This hit
Olympia. 1t seems, however, that it was
an error which was subsequently corrected
by the court. The clause giving cities of
the third class the right to pass a stock law
appears under the head of real estate" in
the session laws of 1889 and 1880. 1t is the
last clause in the detailed enumeration of
the city's power under the charter.

The nomination of Judge J. W. Robin

this direction. He knew that if both gem
