TIE difference between curing a

the difference between reforming the

insisting on keeping up the doses Of

The placation of Platt means that he
has been promised place in Harrison's
cabinet. Furthermore it means that
Secretary Tracy, who has made the best

The Sinking of Mr.. vanderbilt's Yacht.
The sinking of the steam yacht Alva
by the steamship Fl. F. Dimock on Nan
tucket shoals was one of those disasters
which are bound to occur occasionally
where vessels lie at anchor in fairway
as narrow and thickly navigated as the
one in which the Alva lay. The steam
ship company to which the H. F. Di-
mock belongs employs the best naviga-
tors between this port and Boston.
Often they make the trip from the head
of Long Island sound to Boston light in
dense fog without seeing single point
of land or light, running on time and by
the sound of lighthouse whistles and
Eghtship bells.
The eye and ear Of a Long Island
sound, Nantucket Shoals and Boston
pilot are educated to see the slightest
object and hear the least noise at the
greatest possible distance. Unless an
adverse wind prevented those on the
Dimock from hearing the Alva's bell,
we incline to the belief that it was not
struck at short intervals enough, and If
the captain Of the Dimock says he did
not hear any bell, those interested can
depend upon 1t that he states the fact,
as he is employed to avoid collisions un-
der any aud all circumstances. Marine

Canadian Pacific Plans.

The Northern Pacific railroad has issued

from Seattle and Tacoma to Anacortes.

Monday, on the Puget Sound IL Alaska
division. The rate has hitherto been sl.G
per ton. weight or measurement. but is
now changed to 10 cents per 100 pounds,
actual weight. This is equivalent to 81
per ton. and is. therefore, an advance on
heavy articles, which would have been
charged by weight under the old system.
but will probably be q reduction on light,
bulky articles. which chiefly make up the
merchandise class. Present rates will con-
tinue to apply on agricultural implements,
barrels, eggs, furniture. hides and pelts.
dry or green, live stock, lumber, lath and
shingles, dressed; tallow in barrels. boxes
or sacks, vehicles and single packages of
heavy or bulky freight. such as safes or
machinery weighing over 1000 pounds.
The rate of 40 cents per 100 pounds on
lumber, lath and shingles from Seattle,
Tacoma and Portland, which was recently
announced to apply to points in Eastern
Washington, Idaho and Montana as far as
and including De Smet, and to Garrison,
Deer Lodge. Butte, Anaconda. Helena.
Calvin and Wickes. has now been made to
apply from points on the Lake Shore road
as far north as Snohomish to the points
named east of and including Conneil,
Wash. From points on the Lake Shore
north Of Snohomish and east Of Woodin-
vile the rate will be 2Is cents additional.
The accent rate from the three cities was
a reduction of 20 per cent. and this ex-
tension of its application is still further
reduction. equivalent to the local rate on
the Lake Shore road.
