PHILADELPHIA, March 22-The supreme
court has affirmed the decision of the
lower court of common pleas of Phila-
delphia county in favor of Mrs. Della Par
nell, mother of the late Charles Stewart
Parnell, VS.. the administrator of the estate
of Charlotte Smith. The facts upon which
the question arose are as follows: In July,
1876, Charlotte Smith deposited with Della
Parnell s4,53s, to be devoted. in her discre-
ton, to speculation in stocks for the bene-
fit and risk of the owner. The money was
applied in accordance with this under
standing and admittedly with good faith,
but the speculations were unsuccessful
and the money was lost. Mrs. Parnell
kept the fact secret. and attempted to re-
trleve the losses by using her own money,
renting over $1,000 to Miss Smith, and
allowing her to believe the money to be
the proceeds from her investment. After
the death of Miss Smith the administrator
brought suit to recover the full amount in.

OREGON TOO GREEDY.
More Millions Of Money to Be
Dumped in the Columbia.
FOR THE BENEFIT OF PORTLAND.
While Not a Cent Il Expended ON Puget
Sound-The Senate Passes the
Mississippi River Bill.

WASHINGTON CRY, March 22-rSpecial.1
Senator Squire was not altogether too we'll
pleased today when the bills appropriating
immense sums of money for the Cascade
locks and the boat railway around The
Dalles of the Columbia were rushed
Through the Senate. He voted for the
hills because he believed these improve
would be of some benefit to the
I, state of Washington, but he is of the
opinion that it is about time now for
Washington to get something for the i'm
Improvement of the immense stretch of
shore line and the great commercial inter
ests of Puget sound.
He said very emphatically that he could
have explained the situation so far as the
Columbia river was concerned, and that
both of these appropriations would have
gone up in smoke. The immense sums
that it was proposed to expend on this
river, which cut its way through tremen-
dous mountains half a mile high on
either side, would pour the entire
commercial product into the city of
Portland, and the lower Columbia
river would be the only part that would
receive the benefit of the commerce. He
further stated that they would only have
three feet of water after the improvements
we're made, and that these immense sums
could be expended to much better advan-
tage for the great and growing commerce
of Puget sound.
He referred to the fact of the tremendous
amount of deep water shore line around
the Sound and the benefits to be derived
BY communications of deep water with
Lakes Union and Washington, and also
Of the improvement of Puget sound, and
that that section of country was of direct
national Importance, since it was there
that the government dry dock was going
TO be built, and with the possibility that in
short time naval station would be es-
tablished there. The communication with
fresh waters from Puget sound would be
Of inestimable value to the country, be-
cause it would guarantee reaching these
waters by the heavy cruisers of the navy.
I Senator Squire thinks it would be good
plan for the country to turn its attention
TO national improvements. He thought it
was about time to turn in and help the
upper Pacific country, instead of putting
everything into the Columbia river.

ChehaIis County Delegates.

ABERDEEN, March 21.-[Special. RE
publicans of Chehalis county TO the num-
Der of nearly hundred met at Monte
sano on Saturday and selected delegates to
the state convention. Much interest was
shown and rivalry for delegates was sharp.
The following were elected: George III.
Emmerson, Hoquaim; J. C. Pearson, Aber-
deem; f. G. Deckabaugh, of Ocosta; J. II.
White, of Cosmopolis; C. W. Byles, of
Montesano; d. G. Wakefield, of Elma.
A resolution was passed en-
dorsing George w. Emmerson, of
Hoquiam. as a representative of Chehalis
county on the state central committee
Mr.. Emmerson is perhaps the best equipped
man in Chehalis county for that position,
and his energy and capability will at once
make this county power in political
work for the party and for the state, if he
receives the appointment, of which there
can be no doubt. The delegation from
this county goes unrestricted as to the
choice of delegates to the national con-
vention, but they know that Chehalis
county expects them to stand fast for Cap
tain J. NJ. Weatherwax, of Aberdeen, as a
delegate from Southwestern Washington.
They are also individually warm in his
support.
Results in political matters in this
county already show that no clique or
ring has any place in Republican ranks.
There is a conviction that Democracy will
make the hardest fight of its existence this
year, using every club in reach to drive
voters from the ranks, but there is deter
mination to fight with the best materials
in the Republican party.
Besides the election of delegates, the
convention at Montesano selected the
county central committee, of which DR..
John South, of Hoquiam, is chairman,
and G. Ii. Gilkey, of Montesano, secretary.
