sKAGIT COUNTY's FAvORITE SON.
EDISON, March "a, 1892

EDISON, March "a, 1892.
To THE EDITOR: Under the caption of "The
Skagit Re publicans' your daily issue of this
day has the following grave error, which, in
justice to our voters well as to the Skagit
county delegation to the Republican state con-
vention of April IA, should be corrected:
DR.. B. NJ. j. Conlin, of Mount Vernon, arrived
at the Arlington hotel last night The doctor,
who was Il member of the Minnesota legislature,
and afterward an active Republican in Dakota,
came to this state for his health little less than
year ago DR.. Conlin said he was informed
that the Skagit county Republican delegates
would probab urge John S. MeMillin, OF Roche
Harbor, as one of the delegates to Minneapolis.
DR.. Conlin has been misinformed. The gen.
tlemsn whom our delegation favors for delegate
to the national Republican convention at
Minneapolis is J. B. Mcmillan, of Edi-
son, Skagt county, the general mana
ger of the knight Lumber Company,
and of the Blanchard Railroad Company here
J. B. Mcmillan is a son of ex- United States Sem
ator Mcmillan. of Minnesota, has resided here
for the past four years, was a delegate to our
last county convention, and stands we'll to the
front as a representative Republican from this
precinct and part OF Skagit county. Dr. Conlin
has probably through inadvertence of his in
formant or on his own part, confused
the names. Kindly let the correction
be made, that while the skagit
county delegation goes TO the state convention
uninstructed, it will undoubtedly urge J. B. Nc
MILAN, of Edison, skagit mot PIERCE county as
one OF the Washington delegates to Minneapolis

Nurderer Lonp,s Defense.

WHATcoM, March 25.-The prosecution
rested its case in the trial of murderer
Long today The testimony produced
consisted principally of confessions made
BY the defendant as to the killing, and de-
tailed his capture on December 10, 1891,
after his escape on the night of the trag-
|edy. After the prosecution had rested,
the defense outlined its case, which will be
Emotional insanity. The defendant claims
that an attempt was made by his wife to
poison him, and that in collision with
Fumes their daughter was ruined, and
that it was a part of the plan to kill him
44nd get possession of his property and

mas to get his wife to return and live with
him, and he would have forgiven her. He
also claims that the killing was accidental,

Flower and the Franchise Grabbers.
New York Letter

1t sdoes not require a very critical OBJ
server of political events to note that Gov
ernor Flower is growing rapidly in public
estimation. There must have been a great
pressure brought to bear upon him to
secure his cooperation with the controlling
forces in the present legislature but it is
very evident that he has given these
gentlemen the "back of his head. He may
even have shown them the door. In any
event, he is the most independent gov
ernor we have had at Albany since Tilden.
Persons who started in to believe that he
would be plant instrument in the hands
Of party managers were not well informed.
The governor has greatly strengthened
himself with the people by his message in
relation to municipal franchises, and if
governors of other states would take like
stand, II would be a happy sign of the
times. The discriminate granting of fran
chises to corporations and individuals has
become one of the worst of evils. By this
means the public is robbed without stint.
Millions upon millions every year are
drained from the people and 90 to make
fat the Golfers of wealthy men and corpor-
atoms by reason of the exclusive libe-ality
of legislative bodies. Governor Flower,
by his special message, places himself in
direct opposition 10 this sort of thing.
Ii calls a halt on several rapacious
schemes which were intended to loot the
city of New York, but its influence will be
more far-reaching than the mere OBJ
struction of local schemes of plumber. 1t
will have deterrent influence upon other
legislatures that may be disposed TO pass
out valuable franchises 10 whoever asks for
them. II is Governor Flowers idea that
municipal compensation for franchises
such as bridges, street railways, etc,
should be based upon future earn
ings, rather than upon present es-

BIG SEIZURE OF OPIUM.
Over Two Thousand Dollars Worth
Captured-The SmuggIers Escape.


Captured-The Smugglers Escape.
Customs officers captured 81, 100 worth of
opium this morning at 1 o'clock. The
opium as put ashore from rowboat by
two smugglers, but the officers were not
quick enough to catch the men.
The opium is supposed to have arrived
in the harbor on a suspicious sloop Thurs
day evening. Last night about II o'clock,
men at the Stetson d Post mil. noticed
two men in rowboat pulling
towards the wharf of the Mechanics
mill, which was destroyed by fire
some time since. The two evidently re-
ceived warning, for they rowed away from
the Mechanics mill wharf and pulled for
the Howard Bryant wharf just south,
which has long since gone out of use.
When the rowboat was headed away
from the Mechanics mill Deputy Collector
of Customs Mckenzie and Chinese In
spectors Mum and Coblentz were
notified, and they hurried to the
Howard Bryant wharf They arrived
there just too late to catch the men who
rowed away. At the end of the wharf
were several very large boxes. Two of
these were found to contain 335 five ael
cans of opium, representing a value of
S. 100. The officers will receive as their
share of the catch from the government
about 1855.
The officers say that the old wharf men
toned has long been the scene of opera
tons for opium smugglers. The opium
from sioop is landed on the wharf and
another gang, operating on shore, receives
it and makes the sales.

IN HIDEOUS SLAVERY.
Investigation Reveals Bondage
of japanese Women.
LURED OVER BY MALE MASTERS.
Immigration Inspector Brings Out Start
ling Facts About whitechapeI
Dens-The women's Stories.

For the past week there has been going
on in the city an official investigation by
government agents of the alleged system
OF slavery among the japanese women of
Whitechapel, and it has resulted in some
interesting disclosures. A number
of women collected from various
dives were brought to room
in the Occidental hotel, where they
were examined through an interpreter.
immigration Inspector Thomas NJ. Fisher
conducted the investigation, and num-
Der of the ministers of the city
were present. The evidence was gath
cred by Deputy Collector d. A. Mckenzie
and his men, who brought in wit
nesses gathered from various quarters. j.
Goble, an old gentleman who lived for
twenty-five years in Japan and held gov
eminent position there, acted as inter-
prefer.
Seventeen women were examined, and
a number of them admitted that
they were controlled by japanese men,
to whom they are forced topay one-half of
their earnings. As rule, the women are
in debt to their masters for their passage
to this country, and are kept in that con-
dition as long as possible. Generally.
when their first contract expires, force of
circumstances compels them to make an
other. The men engaged in this business
usually handle from one to five girls.
Out of the seventeen examined all but
two were quite modest in their behavior.
Most of them said they had been deceived
by those who brought them over. They
expected to find employment at needle
work and embroidering handkerchiefs.
They appeared willing to work. but know
ing nothing of the duties of a domestic in
an American household, have no chance
of securing situations.
One girl told pitiful story to the effect
that she had been brought over with the
expectation of getting work. On
the first night after she landed,
being without means, she walked the
streets all night long. In the morning
she fell into the clutches of Japanese
woman who rents out houses IN White
chapel. The girl, who insisted on her
previous good character, was give quarters
there and began life of shame.
A report of the investigation has been
sent on to the treasury department at
Washington City and no action can be
taken toward breaking up the system until
orders are received from headquarters. A
recommendation was made that prompt
measures be taken in the matter.

1889 she carried away 12-year-old Mabel
