A feeble attempt is being made
to belittle the Republican slump in
Maine by saying that, on account
OF the introduction ofthe Australian
ballot system, it was expected that
the vote would be light, and the
Republican vote being the largest,
would necessarily suffer the greatest
aggregate loss. That may be salts
factory to that class who regard any
explanation as better than none.
The mathematical fact is that the
per cent of loss is greatly against
the Republicans. -Aduertiser.

All Kinds OF Ware From Native Clay
Citizens VIII Give Site.

A company of American capitalists.
with English potters, is preparing to erect
large pottery works at Renton, in which
ali kinds of pottery and chinaware will be
manufactured. A representative of the
company exhibited twenty-seven excellent
specimens of pottery. china and stone
ware made from clay found in and around
Renton. The company considers Renton
a fine location for the works on account of
the abundance of fine clay and coal near
there, and because it has frst-class ship
ping facilities.
The works will be built upon ten acres
of land belonging to G. II. Sutton, which
the citizens of Renton donate to the COM
pany. At public meeting recently held
a committee, consisting of r. L. Thorne.
Joseph Wood. H. Evans and DR.. A. l.
Beach, was appointed to solicit subscrip-
tons for the purchase OF the site. The
committee has already received subscrip-
tions 70 the amount of 81 800, chiefly from
men with small means, and the larger
property owners are expected to make up
the balance of the required amount. As
soon as 5000 has been secured the COM
pany agrees to put up building which
will cost not less than $40, 900 and to have
the pottery in operation within six months.

To study Electric Power.

The local organization of stationary en-
gineers, which is attached TO a national
association, is one of the most thriving
societies of workingmen in the city. The
principal object of shis organization, aside
from its benevolent features, is to educate
its members in the higher perfection of
their craft. They frequently have lectures
on mechanics and matters connected with
the trade. Professor Leo Daft some time
ago lectured before the members on cleo
tricity, this subject now coming properly
within the limits of the trade as nearly
every stationary engineer has more or less
to do with electrical appliances. Professor
Daft is now in the East and on his return
it is proposed to have him deliver another
lecture, and better arrangements will be
made for giving his experiments. The
organization now has a hall of its own in
rooms 103 and I04 of the Squire-Latimer
building

Will and Dying Statement.
George Brtton, the Dunlap hotel-keeper
who was shot in the groin last Wednesday
during saloon row at Sultan City, in Sno-
homish county, made his will yesterday
and also gave his dying statement.
Ever since his removal to this city,
twenty-four hours after he was shot, his
life has been despaired of. The attending
physician at Providence hospital, to which
place he was taken Immediately upon his
arrival in the city, declared the wound
fatal one and death was expected hourly.
But he fingered along, and Saturday 1T was
thought he might live. Yesterday, how
ever he took a change for the worse, and
at II O'Clock was told that he would prob
ably die during the afternoon; that it was
hardly possible he would live until night.
Upon this he sent for Rev. Clark Davis
and also summoned Louis II. Legg. of the
firm of Jenner, Legg IL Williams, and
made his will and dying statement. He
told the preacher that although he had
lived a wild life he had been raised a
Christian. His mother, Mrs. Robert Brit
ton, lives at ST.. John, n. B. Britton is
only % years old and had a splendid con-
stitution.
At IL O'Clock last night Britton was still
alive, and it is said that he may live
twenty-four hours yet.

ANGRY MINER SHOT.

FRANKLIN AGAIN THE SCENE.
Negro Miner Seeks Vengeance for Dis
charge-Brain Unhinged by Acct
dent-Britton VIII Die.

Alec Jackson, a negro miner at Frank
lin was shot and probably fatally injured
Saturday evening by James Morris, the
mine foreman.
A gentleman who returned from Frank
lin yesterday says that Morris acted in
self-defense and that the othe:, colored
miners at Franklin are in sympathy with
him. Early on Saturday Jackson had
some trouble with Morris regarding his
pay, and, losing his head. abused him
most roundly. whereupon he was dis
charged. He went away and at about $50
o'clock in the evening, half an hour after
the pay-car had left the mine, came back
TO Morris and endeavored to renew the
quarrel. Morris turned on his heel and
would have walked away, but the negro,
angered at the slight, seized q club and
struck him across the neck and head.
Morris wheeled about and, seeing the
negro raise the club TO deliver another
blow, drew his revolver and nred three
shots in rapid succession. The iirst shot
struck Jackson in the left temple entering
the skull, grazing the brain and, skimmlng
along, glanced out above the ear. The
second shot broke his right arm and the
third lodged in his right thigh.
DIR. }. }. Smith, the companys ply
stefan, says Jackson cannot survive his
injuries.
The wounded man is about 45 years old,
and was among those whom Superin-
tendent T. b. Corey brought out from the
East a year ago. Some years ago, in an
Eastern mine, lump of coal fell on
Jackson's head. fracturing his skull and
he never fully recovered from the wound.
The other negroes have always regarded
him as little Off," and when in anger he
knew no reason. He has all along been
regarded as dangerous man.

BETWEEN TWOUNIONS
Division Among Freshmen
Causes Confusion.
SEATTLE MEN TO JOIN PRINTERS
Brewery Men Wrestling With Their
Contract - Stationary Engineers
Studying Electricity.

There is a division of opinion among the
Printing Pressmen's Unions on the Coast
with reference to the question of affilia-
ton with the International Typographical
Union.
The pressmen some time ago organized
an international union distinct from the
typographical union. Previous to this
mauy of the pressmen's unions were affili-
ated with the latter organization, while in
other places they maintained independent
organizations. OF course, when the inter-
national union was formed it was antici-
pated that all these independent unions
would affiliate with it, and that those
attached to the typographical union would
Withdraw and do likewise
In the East nearly all the unions did so.
but those on the Coast divided on the
question. The San Francisco and Tacoma
unions refused to withdraw from the typo
graphical, while the Seattle and Portland
unions withdrew and joined the inter-
national of their own craft. The result
has been very unsatisfactory all around,
especially in the granting Of cards and
transfer of members. The San Francisco
union, being much larger than any of the
others, is practically master of the situa-
ton unless the other three combine
against 1t. But the Tacoma union, by pur-
suing the same course, leaves the other
two in an awkward position unless they
return to the Typographical union. This
the Seattle union has finally decided to do
after long controversy, the members be-
ing almost equally divided on the question.

THE BREWERS CONTRACT.
Local Union Overruled and New Ar
rangement Must BE Made.


The Seattle brewery proprietors met the
committee from the Western Central
Labor Union and the Brewery Workmen's
Union again Saturday evening in the
Western Central hall for the purpose OF
reaching an understanding on a contract
TO be made with the Brewery Workmen's
Union for the ensuing year.
similar meeting was held some time
ago, but the brewery workmen desired
time to submit the proposition of the en-
ployers to their general officers at San
Francisco. so the contract which was to
expire on May was extended to June l.
The reply of the general secretary,
Alfred Thurman. was read at the meeting
Saturday. 1t stated that it would be
violation of the principles Of the union to
allow the members TO return 10 a ten-hour
day and render extra service on Saturday
without pay. as the proprietors demanded
they should do. He conceded the local
union the right TO yield on some minor
points. but insisted that it must remain
firm on these two.
The brewers wanted further time 10 con-
slider the question. so it was decided to
hold another meeting next Sunday after
noon TO finally dispose OF the matter The
brewers submitted another proposition
less Objectionable than the first. Ii was
for the adoption Of an agreement similar

brewers and the National Association Of
Brewery Woi kmeu. II is doubtful if this
proposition Will meet with the approval of
the officers Of the Coast union. for the rea-

the other cities on the Coast to the disad-
vantage OF the wogkmen. The brewers
stated that they would consult the Tacoma
brewers and be prepared 10 take final
action st the meeting Sunday. 1t seems
