POLITICS IN sNOHoMIsH.
The Democrats Obliged to Import Can
didate for Superior Judge.

SNoHoMIsH, March Especial J.
Democrats here as elsewhere over the
state have caught the inspiration and en-
thusiasm incident to the success of their
Seattle brethren, and have mapped out
and are already carrying out in detail
their preparations for the fall campaign.
In addition to their recoIlections of the
Seattle election George Hazard, the Off
cial collector" of the state committee,
was here last week, and, it is said, applied
with proper vigor a practical test to the
faith OF the brethren, and their Tacoma
campaign fund win be swelled CORE
spondingly.
Considerable worry has been caused the
managers" in contemplation of the fact
that their ranks in this county contained
no material with which they could hope to
fill some of the offices now held by Re
publicans, and they have even resorted to
the importation of politicians of "guaran-
teed running qualities" from abroad. To
this end Mr.. A. D. Austin changed his To-
cation from Seattle to this place some
months ago, but owing either to the
veto of the managers" or to the fact that
Mr.. Austin considers lucrative law prac-
tice a surer source of profit than the I'M
Cci VI pOiitiCdl spcCuldtiOfl, IL Is Sdlu
that he is now counted out. The latest
importation is Mr.. w. r. Andrews, of Sc
attic, who came here today for the pur-
pose of permanently locating, and thereby
hangs tale. Hon. J. W. Frame is now
the editor and manager of the Democrat,
their local organ. and considers him.
self the proper person to shape
the party policy for the county.
He is anxious to provide for
the political welfare of his law partner,
Judge Whitney, and has been making an
effort to cultivate such q sentiment among
the brethren as should bring about Whit
ney's nomination for superior Judge.
Finding however, that ]. A. Coleman, a
prominent Democratic member of the bar,
was likely to secure the endorsement in
preference to his law partner, Mr.. Frame
has been exercising his acknowledged
political ingenuity in an effort to prevent
Coleman's nomination. Failing in this,
and finding that even Judge Whitney's
reformation and his joining and associa-
ting with the Murphy movement did
not have the effect anticipated for it, such
inducements have been held out as have
caused Mr.. Andrews to locate here.
Prominent officers of the Snohomish
Democratic club admit that Mr. Andre VS.
expects to figure IN county politics this
fall, but will not say what particular tring
he will pull

DEMOCRATS CRYING "RING,"
But Huson Is All Right on the Water
Supply Question.

TACOMA, March 81. - Especial - Fate
played at see-saw with local politics today.
The winning run of the game is yet
to be made. This morning it was declared
that if H. S. Huson would hit the bail
squarely in the face on the water question
he could earn the coveted score. Surely
he could shut out the Democrats If it were
shown in black and white that the Re-
publican ring is dead in Tacoma, and that
he and his ticket represent the wish of the
taxpayers of the city. That the ring is a
corpse and fit only under Huson's admin
istration for political cremation is fact,
as has before been shown in the Posr-IN-
TELLrsENCER. Still, even all the newspa-
per readers in Tacoma do not read the
PosT-INTELLIGESCER,n not to mention those
who never read, but only talk and think
on what the unprincipled demagosues aye
braying.
By far the meanest untruth of the
demogugue on the Democratic side ut
tered thus far is that Mr.. Huson en-
ployed "scab" bricklayers on the new car
shop buildings at Edison, and employed
Chinese workmen in building the
stampede tunnel. Some may be
deceived by this sort of talk, but a great
majority know that Mr.. Huson, as prin-
cipal assistant engineer of the Northern
Pacific, had nothing to do with the class
of men employed. He had no control
over the matter. Huson was asked this
afternoon to state for the Posr-INTEL-
LIGsyoER just what is his position on the
water question. He said:
l favor the city owning its own water-wcrks,
and am in favor OF the Clear Lake and Mashell
river gravity supply proposed by the non-parti-
san citizens water commission. Regarding the
purchase by the city OF the Tacoma Light and
Water Companys old plant, would not buy
any part Of il save at price not greater than
what it could be bought for, and would not
buy any part or portion Of it that could not be
utilized. That's my position
Those who were timid about indorsing
Mr.. Huson on the water question and who
were made acquainted with his position as
defined today, are satisfied and will sup
port him

WAR IN VENEZUELA.
Uprising of the People Against
aDespotic Government.
BLOODY BATTLES ARE FOUGHT.
Prime Minister Palacio's Forces Sue
spreadfng-Rebeis Well Armed.

NEW YoRK. March 31.-A Herald special
from Caracas, Venezuela, says great ex-
element is reported at all Venezuelan
ports, which are filled with refugees from
this city and the interior of the country.
The fugitives are endeavoring to secure
passage out on steamers.
The Heads account of the first battle
between the government troops and in
surgents is confirmed. 1t resulted in the
triumph of Balacio's army, but the
victory was dear one to the government,
costing it many lives. The number of
dead and wounded is unknown. In Of
ficial circles a strong anti-American
feeling is apparent. Many foreigners
are seeking refuge in different
consulates. Exchange is rapidly ris-
ing. Advices just received here
state that additional skirmshes
have taken place between the
government and the insurgents. and the
former have been victorious all along the
line 1t must be remembered that all
these rumors come from official sources.
The insurgent side have different story
to tell.
Among the persons who have tenn
porarily left Venezuela, cables the HerGld's
cas- planter who is staunch
friend of the insurgent cause. Just
before his departure he told me the strug-
gle might last for five or six months, as
the government and the revolution
lists were both we'll supplied with
funds and arms. Guzman Blanco,
he told me, has no connection with the
revolt nor could he have, toi the uprising
against Paiacio is on the same grounds as
the movement which led to the expulsion
of Blanco. 1.-THE question at stake"
he added, lis purely of state sovereignty
VS.. Capitalization. Arms and ammunition
have recently been sent over
Curico and in spite of the
governments guard along the coast, were
safely landed and put in the hands of the
insurgents who, now that they are well
armed, will make much more determined
eight.
Planter, in conclusion, predicted that by
the middle of April the Federalists, to the
number of from 10000 to 10000, all fully
armed, would begin their advance upon
Caracas.
The Herald has, from Zebanilla, Column
bia. dispatch in which it is stated that
private adyices from Bogota confirm the
reports of the spread of the revolutionary
uprising in Venezuela
kilograms from Pamplona announce
that many Venezuelans are returning TO
the former country to join General Crespo.
Public sympathy here and at Bogota is
mostly favorable TO the revolutionists.

Tho Boring Sea Question.

VICTORIA, March 3l.-There are no fur
ther developments in the sealing question.
The presence of warships in the neighbour
hood of Bering sea means that there will
be business for them before long.
TORONTO, March 31.-Erroneous reports
are in circulation respecting the issue of
clearances for sealers going to Boring sea-
1t is not true that the collector at Victoria
has been authorized to refuse clearances.
Collector Milne has simply been told to
notify sealers in clearing for Bering sea
that they do so at their own risk and in
the event of modus vivendi being agreed
upon they will be required to strictly
observe its provisions.
WAsHlNGToN CITY, March 31.-Negot:a-
tons for renewal of the modus vivendi

morning at the invitation of the president,

Costa Rica In Financial Difficulties.

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, March 29.-The
government has deemed it necessary to
resort to extreme measures in order to re-
store the country to normal condition.
Prominent merchants and financiers have
been invited to confer with the president
and cabinet regarding the depression of
paper money and the disappearance of the
countrv's coin. A decided restriction law
as to the expectation of the latter will be
passed Immediately. The official organ,
La Gacetd, explains the difficulties of the
situation by saying that exchange on the
United States ard Europe has gone up to
the tremendous premium of 100 per cent,
as a consequence of large importations and
the scarcity of the principal exportable
commodity, viz: coffee.
