We do not believe that Virginia or
any other southern state will go for the
third party, or tnat enough votes will be
drawn from the Democratic ranks by
that party to give any such state to the
Republicans. There will no doubt be
considerable talk and some bluster. but
when southern white men come to the
polls in November, and consider that
. they are in reality voting either for or
against the force bill, they will be very

LINE TO SEATTLE.
Burlington Arranging to Build
to This City.
THE VANCOUVER BONUS FIGHT.
People Determined to Beat the Cam
adian Paci6c-Great Nortlrcrn's
Right-of-Way Deal.

A company will shortly be incorporated to
build . road under the name OF the seattle &
Southeastern railroad, in q generally southeast
erly direction from this city, to conuecs with the
projected extension OF tho Burlington system to
the Sound. The arrangements were made with
local capitalists by the representative of the
Burlington who recently visited the Coast. and
preparations are being made, butt it is impossi-
BILE to learn who are the local men interested or
what route is proposed for the line. All that
can be learned positively 10 that such a road is
projected aud that it is . Burlington enterprise.
The Burlington extension to the Sound would
open q market for the products of this section
of Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas In q
way in which those states cannot be reached at
present. This territory can only be reached
now by the lines from the Pacific coast through
connection with Eastern lines at the Missouri
and Mississippi rivers, and thus the rate: made
by the transcontiuental lines depend on the
proportion which these Eastern connections are
willing to accept. As the Burlington will not
have to make arrangements with any Eastern
lines in fixing rates to this territory. il will be
able to do the business much cheaper than
would be possible where two or three lines had
to share the rate. The territory in question is
the natural market for the products Of the
so~und-lunber, coal and ashland, il the Mica
ragua canal were built, many of the agricultural
products of the prairie states might be shipped
from the Pacific coast ports, enabling the rail-
roads to haul loaded cars both ways and thus
make lower freight rates.

GREAT NORTHERN EVERETT DEAL.


Tho Land Company Gives Extensive
Kight-of- Way-Terminal Grounds.
EVERETT, Dec. Son his recent visit to this
city. Col. w. p. Clough, vice president OF the
Great Northern railroad, closed arrangements
with the Everett Land Company for extensive
right-of-way and terminal grounds in and near
here. Henry Hewitt, IT,, president OF the latter
company, made known the arrangements today.
The land company gives the Great Northern q
strip 100 feet wide from Lowell to the soath line
of section 20, and 800 feet wide across tnat Sec
ton to Pacific avenue: also a 100-foot fight-of-
way from Pacific avenue to the tunnel, and 50
to 100 feet wide from the eastern end of the tun-
mel towards Harris mill, and on this lins a cut
of will be land, saving about three miles around
the point of the peninsula. The Great Northern
is also given a strip two miles long and 700 feet
wide along the bay side and the river benk.
A close alliance is made between the Great
Northern and the Everett d Monte Cr5sto, by
which each leases its terminals to tie other
and they will use them in common. TIE Great
Northern will bore the tunnel al SOON as its
main line is finished, meanwhile using she Ev-
erett & Monte Cristo tracks. on which it has
trackege rights. The Great Northern will use
the Everett g. Monte Cristo bridge at lowell,
will move its bridge near the mouth of the
river farther up the stream, near Harris mill,
aud will give the Everett & Monte Cristo the use
of its bridge to the islands. The line around
the point will be taken up when the cutoff
through the tunnel is completed. The two
roads will build a union depot at Lowell. and
depots will be placed near Pacific avenue and
on the bay side between Hewitt avenue and
Wall street. Being asked: sis it understood
that the Great Northern will take the school
section for its terminals" Mr.. Hewitt said:
"Yes. the Great Northern expects to under.
take condemnation proceedings for the grounds
for its terminals. Their representatives claim
to want at least leo miles Of side:Sasks They
will be pushing their work in Everett by tho
middle OF December. II will be a vast improve
ment and will result in an expenditure OF $780,
600 in Everett fox grading alone"

Saturday two bylaws will be put before the peo-
pie to be voted on in connection with the: bonus
of $500, 900 to the Burrard Inlet and Fraser Val
ley railroad. which is to connect at sumss with
the Northern Pacific. This bonus was
carried before by a largo majority, but
the Canadian Pacific railroad attacked it in the
courts and got out an injunction to restrain the
city from taking action under it One of the
objections was that the court of revision, in
making a general reduction of II per cent. in
the entire assessment OF the city. had
acted ultra rires and by reason OF the re-
duction had illegally deprived a great many OF
their votes on the money bylaw by lowering
lection, in case it held good, two bylaws were
this time prepared, one to be voted
on by those now qualified, the other to
be voted on by all who would have boon
entitled TO vote in case the reduction had not
been made. Since then the first bylaw has
been declared good and the injunction Quashcd
by the court The Canadian Pacific railroad will
appeal again, but if the two new bylaws carry
there will be three bylaws, each granting q
bonus of $500 geo to ths Northern Pacific feeder.

SETTLED IN EIGHTEEN MINUTES.
The Warmers Get q Divorce After IN
Amicable Agreement.

The shortest divorce case on record was tried
before Judge Humes yesterday, in which Eve.
Ign NJ Warner was separated from A. ID. Warner
in eighteen minutes by the watch. The marital
troubles of this couple were in court before
Judge Lichtenberg only a month ago. each seek
ing to be divorced from the other. After a trial
lasting two days he denied both petitions and
told the petitioners that they should patch up
their differences on account of their little child.
The child, however, shortly afterward took sick
and on December , died.
Thae then being no longer any necessity for
the quarreling couple to live together, they
agreed to go their ways, after an amicable di-
vision OF the community property. Mrs. Warner
amended her original complaint so as TO leave
out of it everything except the allegation that
she and her husband wholly differed in their
desires. tastes. thoughts and ideas of life, as
well as in their tempers and dispositions. War
ner's answer admitted the truth of the allega-
ton. Both papers were filed in the county
clerks Office just before the office closed Wednes-
day evening. The case came before Judge
Lichtenberg the first thing yesterday morning.
but he would not try it,and transferred the case
to Judge Humes, who, eighteen minutes after
ward, granted the decree.

A PUZZLE FOR THE LAWYERS.
Legal Problems Raised by the Collapse
of Bakers Wharf.

Some more questions which will puzzle the
water front admiralty lawyers have been raised
in the custom house over the dutiable goods
lost by the falling of II. W.. Baker q Co.'S wharf.
The law provides that goods may be abandoned
to the government for duty by the consignee.
On some of the goods In question the duty was
paid, and the eonsigneeg are now demanding
the return of their money and propose to aban-
don the goods. Deputy Collector D. A. Mcken-
xie says he is not clear on the point and has
asked for instructions from Collector WATSON.
No such question has ever been raised here be-
fore, and it is probable the department will be
called on for a decision.
To add to the complications, the fishermen
who got a large amount OF the goods out of the
water came in with a salvage claim, and the
transportation com pauies have claims for ship
ping and advance charges. The latter maintain
that the government, by accepting the duty,
relinquished the goods to them and could not
regain possession of them without paying the
transportation charges.
Now, the questions for the water front legal
fraternity to settle are: Is the claim OF the
transportation companies tenable? The preser-
walton OF the goods depending on those who
got them out of the water before they were
wholly destroyed, does not the claim for salvage
come first? If sold for the salvage claim. where
does the government como in for the duty?
