It's So EngIish, Won Know

Editor Tribune:
In your issue Of Thursday last, under the
heading of "spoils," you have short ar
ticle to the effect that ito the victor belongs
the spoils;" that federal employees under
the present administration of Benjamin
Harrison should send in their resignation
before March a. and that is necessary for
employees to be always in accord with their
employers. While in the abstract this doc
trine is a good one, and while an employe
should, of course, be loyal to his employer,
yet the present system of continual change
in this country is an exceedingly pernicious
one and the sooner radical change is made
the better for the whole country. The Eng
lish system Of civil service is much better.
1t makes no difference whether Gladstone
is replaced by Salisbury or Salisbury by
Gladstone, the old employees are retained,
changes only being made on account of
derelictiOn in duty or incapacity. To the
English mind the system of making a
change from the chief clerk down to the
Office boy would be perfectly absurd. The
system of "spoils," on account of the prin-
clple of making hay while the sun Shines
is often the cause of much dishonesty, let
alone the fact that an old employe, having
had more or less experience as to the du-
ties of his Office is naturally Of more value
to his employer than a new man would be.
What is it to such employees whether the
country is under democratic or republican
rule so long as it is in a prosperous con-

ROcks-SchOOner Goes Ashore.
SAN FRANoIsco, Nov. 2l.-The revenue
cutter Corwin has arrived here after an 8
months cruise in Alaskan waters. About
the most exciting incident of the cruise
took place September "A, when the
Corwin was off Sand Point. 1t was
at the time that the new volcano broke
out on the Alaskan peninsula inland from
Cape st. John. The birth of the volcano
was marked by heavy shocks of earthquake
which trembled the country for many
miles around. The Corwin was many
miles at sea when the eruption began and
yet she got very lively shaking up. 1t
was nearly dead calm aad about 9 O'Clock
at night when the ship began to tremble
violently from stem to stern. Some of the
men were nearly thrown off their feet, and
nearly all Of them grew sick, so peculiar
were the sensations. Tne shock lasted
nearly five minutes, and during that time
the sea had strange yeliowish appearance.
Mr.. Applegate, of Sand Point, reported
having seen the volcano and the bearings
he took showed it to be about fifty miles
in from Cape st. John, and in section of
country not yet explored. He reports the
crater as vomiting out an immense guam
tity of lava and ashes, and the coun-
try seemed to be ablaze for miles
around. One vessel within reach of
the volcanOs, the schooner "Helen,"
of Seattle was caught by some
thing akin to tidal wave and washed
ashore near Cape Runkoff The Corwin
people discovered her on the 28th of last
month A shoveling party was sent ashore
to dig canal to the water and when this
was accomplished the cutter hauled the
Helen ahoat. On the COrWin's way down
she passed the rescue schooner at Sand
point, apparently seaworthy and sound.
In Captain Hooper's summary of the
cruise, the Corwin Is put down as steaming
1900 miles during the summer. Her
seizures are limited to two British steam
ers, Coquiltam, of Vancouver and Henri
eta, of Victoria. Both seizures were for
violations Of the revenue laws and had no
thing to do with the Modus Vivendi. The
vessels were delivered to the collector of
customs at Sitka. Seals are scarce in Be-
hiring sea, the pack being well started on
its annual winter excursion dOWu the
coast

WHERE ISMRS.ROSS?
Said to Have Fled to Escape Ill
Treatment.

Accused of Heating Her and

Accused of Heating Her and
Threatening Her Life.
W. H. Ross, Of Olympia, who achieved
prominence by being candidate for con-
stable on the peoples party ticket, is
mourning the disappearance Of his wife and
three children.
Yesterday about noon Mrs. Ross sent a
friend to the home of Justice ]. G. Rath-
bun, with the request that he meet her at
bis Office, as she desired to make COM
plant against her husband.
The justice complied with the reqaest of
Mrs. Ross. When she appeared before
him she was accompanied by a lady friend
who gave her name as Miss Sorrenson.
Mrs. Ross stated that her husband had
assaulted her and threatened to kill her.
She desired his arrest and asked that some-
thing be done to protect her from further
i'll treatment.
A warrant was sworn out and handed to
Constable Aldridge for service. Arrange
ments were made that in case Ross was
found he could be taken to the home of
Justice Rathbun, where bail bond could.
be executed.
When the constable went to the home of
Ross, on Adams street near Seventh. to
serve the warrant, he found Ross there.
Mrs. Ross broke down and sobbed violently
when her husband was taken away. Bond
was given, and Ross was released. He told
the justice that there was nothing in the
charge, and that it was merely a trick to get
him away so she could leave town with the
children.
When Ross returned to his home he
found that his wife had packed her trunks
and fled with them and the children.
Miss Sorrenson had also vanished. In
order to block any unlawful proceedings
Justice Rathbun issued subpoenaes for the
apprehension of Miss SOrrenson and a
well known young attorney, who were sup
posed to have assisted Mrs. Ross in leaving
town, but the officer could not find them.
1t is supposed that they are in hiding, as
no evidence could be found that they left
on the train or boat.
1t is supposed that Mrs. Ross LETT Olym-
pia on the Afternoon train going towards Ia
coma. An intimate friend Of the family
has been searching for Miss Sorrenson but
could not find her.
1t is claimed that Mrs. Ross has been
seeking protection for herself and children
from the alleged ill-treatment of her hus-
band for some time, but failed to find any
one who would take an interest in the mat
ter. AS a last resort it is supposed she
went away, no man knows whittier, in
hopes of escaping from further ill-usage
Mrs. Ross has been in poor health for the
past month. 1t is thought that she will
return soon as she did not have very much
money upon which to travel. Owing to
absence Of the principal witnesses the
case against Ross was dismissed this morn
ing.

Olympia, November 10, 1892.
Hon. Joseph W. Robinson, Olympia,
Washington:
Dear Sir-Your resignation as superior
Judge of the state Of Washington for
Thurston county has been received, and

the future will expect better of us, and a
f1fty-room house with good fire places could
be filed the year round. Can't you send US
some live man to put Us up hrst-class
hotel, and we viii guarantee him so per
cent on his money the first year,
We have every assurance that the Gulf,
Brazos Valley and Pacific railroad viii be
in course of construction within the next
few days, and as they now have the grade
completed from this point to Millsap, with
culyerts built, there will be nothing to do
but 10 lay the ties and iron, which will not
take them more than thirty days. Should
this road be built it will be only question
of time when it will be operated by the
Rock Island, and will make one Of the finest
trunk lines in the state, as the territory
through which it viii pass is surpassed by
none in the state, and there is no compel
ing line within forty or fifty miles Of them.
Quite number of visitors are already
coming in. and the hotels, which are open
for the reception of visitors are pretty fnll,
and judging from the letters being received
by the different landlords one would sup
pose that the hotel accommodation would
not be adequate to accommodate enc in fifty
who design coming here this summer.
Cards are out for the marriage of DR.. G.
