STATE POLITICAL POINTERS.

Hey there, King county republicans
You will walk up to the rack and do as the
Post-lntelligencer tells you TO do, or be
read out of the party. Dye hear2
Senator Allen has been "a faithful serv-
ant" of the people of Seattle and the rail-
road companies. The people OF Walla
Walla and of Eastern Washington, whose
interests are especially confided to HIM,
cannot say that he has been "a faithful
servant" Of theirs, Walla Spec

ton unanimously for congress and Price
Tor secretary of state, in all possibility.
Claypool was left far in the rear and Thad
Huston is not in it for attorney general
This is the result Of the primaries in Pierce
county last night.
Senator Allen is candidate for re-elec-
ton to the United States senate. He will
be opposed by Hon. Miles @. Moore and
Hon Geo. Turner. Mr.. Allen has ruined
bis chances by catering TO Seattle TO the
detriment of the state at large, and Mr.
Moore is handicapped by the personal fight
between he and Allen. Turner will likely
step in between this fight and be elected
If elected the state will be honored, as there
are few, If any, abler men in eastern Wash
ington than Geo. Turner,-Pullman Her

In justice to Mr.. Hyde his name should
not be presented to the forthcoming CON
yentiOn. Mr.. Wilson has a majority Of the
delegates and should be nominated by ac-
clamation. Nothing could be gained by
pTolonging the contest after it has prac-
tically been ended. Mr.. Wilson nominated,
the delegates, we hope, will forget the CON
gressional contest and proceed with their
duties just as If that question had never
come before the party. By that means
stronger ticket can be selected and the
party placed in better fighting shape
Spokane Review.
Following is the ticket nominated at
Ellensburgh, yesterday, by the peoples
party: For governor, @. w. Young, of
Whitmani for lieutenant governor, @. p.
Twiss, of Lewis; for secretary Of state,
Lyman Wood, of King; for presidential
electors, William ] Caldwell, Of King; P.
?: Barrels, Of Whitman James Bassett, of
Lincoln; William Lee, Sr., of Yakima for
congress, j, Q. VanPatten of Columbia,
and M. H. Knox, of King.
The republican primaries held last even
ing resulted in the election of an over
whelming majority of the Doolittle dele
gates. The contest was spirited in many
of the precincts, but the Allen men Jared
badly wherever they made show of resist
ance to the popular will, p. @. Sullivan,
their leader, being the worst beaten man in
his precinct. Senator Claypool gracefully
gave up the fight when the votes were
counted, and at midnight said TO Ledger
reporter that Doolittle WAS his candidate
from this time on. Sheriff Prices friends
claim that he has strong following among
the delegates chosen, but they have not
reduced their claims to igures.-The

TERRIBLE FIRES.
Two Cities Almost Completely
Wiped Out by Flames.
Bay City, Michigan, and ORkesdaIe

fIagratIOn That Destroyed over
s1,OOO,OOO Worth OF Property.


BAY CITY, Mich, July 26.-The terrible
fire which started yesterday afternoon con-
tinued to rage all night and the sun rose
this morning on field of ashes, extending
for over forty blocks. 1t is estimated that
over hundred buildings occupied as fac
tories, stores and dwellings are in ruins
The fire burned sWath six blocks wide
from the river to almost the city limits, a
distance of nine blocks, sweeping every
thing in its path and only stopped when
there was nothing to feed on, the houses
having become scattering. The loss is es-
timated at S1,0O0,0OO. The wind blew from
the southwest when the fire started in Mil
Ter & Turner's sawmill. Burning boards
were carried two hundred feet in the air
and wherever dropped started new con-
hagration. The fremen were utterly una
BILE to cope with it. They were driven
quickly from point to point. The progress
Of the fire was through section largely
occupied by the homes of laboring men.
They we're compelled to abandon every
thing and are now huddled in temporary
quarters without a possession in the world
and nothing to eat.

Will Celebrate the Opening of the
Great Railroad In that Country.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 26.-Work is to be
begun at the western end of the great
Siberian railway without delay. The first
division runding from Tscheiiaginsk in the
government of Orenburg to Omsk, covering
a distance of 787 versts, will be ready for
use, it is hoped, in the latter part of the
coming fall. The opening Of this part of
the railway will be in all probabilities a
great boon to Russia as it passes through
the Ural mine district and touches the
famous grain district of Tobolsk. From
the latter district are sent annually 40O,CC
head of cattle, owing to the roads, however,
many cattle are lost and never reach their
intended destination. The railroad, with
its improved facilities, will give great inn
petus it is believed, to the cattle Industry.
The first Siberian division will give an
outlet to the country covering $4,000
square versts, and containing 100000
people. The opening of the great road will
be celebrated with appropriate ceremonies
and will be hailed with delight by thou
sands and thousands of patriotic Russians.
