Canada wants free transit in the
United States for goods imported or
exported, but when American shippers
desire to use Canadian canals tor
transit Canada charges cx~tortionate
tolls. The proper thing to do to Cana
da IS to cut her off. Maybe that will
bring her to her senses.

Kansas City is a Cleveland city,

DEATH OF EUGENE SULLIVAN.
1t Was Not Due to Poison as at First
Supposed.

The post-mortem examination IN the
case of Eugene Sullivan, who was found
dead in lodging-house ON Washington
street Wednesday night, was held at Bon
ney & Stewards yesterday afternoon, and
revealed the fact that death was due to
cerebral congestion. commonly known as
apoplexy, and not to poison as first sup
posed. The examination was conducted
by Coroner George NJ. Horton and Dr. J.
3. Loughary, who concurred in the opin-
ion that there was not the least indication
CT any poison.
Eugene Sullivan was about SO years old,
and came from Bigfoot, H., where his
family now lives. His parents are people
of good standing, and reared their son 10
be gentleman, the precepts of which he
never forgot. as friends testify. In 1876
he went TO the Black Hills, where he re-
manned until lSS0, when he went TO Mon
tana. -Four years ago he went TO Juneau.
Alaska, and went into business with
Harry Ash. Last January they sold ont
ard came 10 Seattle, where they took
rooms at sol Commercial street.
Expressions of regret are heard or all
sides regarding his untimely death, as he
was held in the highest regard by all asso-
ciates and friends. Mr.. Ash wired his
parents in Illinois and his brother in Lead
City. 5. OAK, yesterday of his sudden
death. The funeral services will take
place at the Church of the Holy Names to-
morrow afternoon at 2:30, interment in

THE ISLAND MURDER.
Body of the Victim Exhumed
for Identification.
Some New Clues Discovered-What Two
Boys Saw on the Day OF
the Crime.

The remains of the man who was muir
dered on Mercer island several weeks ago,
but which were found only within few
days, were exhumed yesterday and iden-
titled by Q. C. Luther and Eugene Lucas,
residents of East Seattle. as those of
George Richards and not Leon Richards,
the name under which the verdict of the
coroner's jury was rendered.
Lucas stated to Prosecuting Attorney
Miller and Coroner Horton that Richards
had two Italians living with him during
part of his stay on Mercer island. Leon
was the name OF the larger and Joe Pouche
of the smaller. From a conversation he
had with Richards he was satisfied in his
own mind that there had been trouble be-
tween him and Pouche. Richards men
toned that he did not believe he would
employ the Italian any longer and couched
his language in such a manner as to lndl-
cate the separation was due to strained
relations. 1t appears that on the same
day the overturned boat of Richards was
discovered red boat known to be the
property of one of the Italians was OBJ
served a short distance away, drawn over
a log on the shore.
o. c. Luther is of the opinion that Rich
ards died while making q desperate
struggle for life and believes that he
wounded his assailant or assailants. He
advances in support OF this theory that at
a date which would come near the sup
posed time of the killing two boys were
rowing along the shore near the cabin oc-
cupied by Richards and the Italians, when
they observed human being peek out of
the window and then draw back. This
operation was repeated several times, and
the boys judged the movements of the
person were labored. The boys had
a dog which was running along
the shore and shifting about in strange
manner. This was evidently observed by
the inmate of the house, and Judging from
the supposed relation of the Italian or
Italians to the death of Richards offers a
good reason for the uneasiness with which
the movements of the boys and dog were
observed.
While the evidence that is being coll
lected points directly to the Italians as be-
ing connected with the murder. it is an
other question when it comes to appre-
hending them. They have disappeared,
and have had long start.
From scraps of conversation he had had
with East Seattle people it appears Rich
ards was from Minnesota and had fol-
lowed numbering all his life. He said that
he married a girl who was worth $4,000 TO
$50 600. but she died a short time after
marriage. He came TO this country about
seven years ago, and worked for consid-
cradle time in a Tacoma sawmi0.

THE BROADWAY GRADE.
An Opinion Filed by Corporation Co
sci Donworth.

An Opinion Filed by Corporation Coun-
sci DonwOrth.
Corporation Counsel Donworth yester-
day filed the following opinion with the
board of public works:
The Honorable Board of Public Works Gen
he'nea: have received yours of recent date
inelosng a letter from the Union Trunk line in
which the city is threatened with resistance
and actions of various kinds in case it under
takes to exercise its powers in grading Broad
way This communication from a company ex-
ercising rights conferred by the public should
not be allowed to so unanswered The company
calls attention to section OF ordinance No
l,41l, which provides that any person obstruct-
Ing the lines of the James Street Construction
Company shall be fined or imprisoned, and
threatens TO arrest persons grading the street
under authority of the city. 1t may be that
the company has assumed the administra-
ton OF the criminal laws OF the city as we'll
as the control of the streets: but even so, power
rests with the city council to repeal at any time
Its Criminal ordinances or to change them as
frequently as it desires. The police power OF
the city can never be surrendered to street
railway company. Ii this ordinance, intended
as protection to the company against malicious
mischief is attempted to be used by the COM
pany as a means to prevent the city from exer-
cising its ordinary powers. the city council will
undoubtedly repeal it st its next meeting.
The ordinance under which the company is
operating its line expressly provides that
any street over which ii passes may be graded
by the city without any liability to the company
! therefor. have no doubt this would be law
even if no reference had been made to it in the
franchise
Ny opinion is that the city should pro-
coed 10 grade Broadway as soon as an ordinance
is passed for the purpose, and to do the work in
such a manner as Will interfere as little pos
sibe with the running OF cars on the street. II,
however, the grading cannot be done without
interfering with the use OF the railway, except
by extraordinary measures involving excessive
cost, then the convenience OF the railway COM
pauy must yield to that of the
| city; in other words, the rights of
| the railway company must be recognized
but when they conflict with the public interest
| the control of the city over the Improvement of
| its streets must prevail. l recommend that the
| company be notified at the proper time that the
| contractors of the city are about to begin work
on grading the street, and that its claims,
pressed in its letter of May l6, cannot BE- recog.

herewith return to you the letter sent me.

for-Routine Matters.

for-Routine Matters.
At the meeting of the board of aldermen
all the members were present with the ex-
ception of Carrie.
Mr. Daulton reported with reference TO
the advisability of the city putting in an
electric light plant for the lighting of its
streets. that it was costing about IS, 100
per month under the present contract sys-
TEN, but plant would cost 800. 900 and the
operating expenses would be about $1,000
per month. He therefore moved that the
board of public works be instructed to
advertise for bids for lighting the streets
for one year. The motion prevailed.
Application of Robert Fitzhenry for the
position of janitor of the city hall was or
dered filed, and the application of Maurice
Shannon for the same position was laid on
the table.
The following ordinances were passed ::
Providing for abatement of taxes on prop
erty of Henry Bowen; providing for local
improvements bearing pro rata share of
the expense of the city engineers office !;
amending the ordinance providing for re-
pairs on the freboat slip so that the cost
shall not exceed 81 400. instead of 500; au-
thorizing the purchase Of a lot by remis-
sion of street grade assessment for the
widening of Chestnut street; authorizing
the mayor and one member elected from
each house of the city council to compro-
mise street grade assessments in certain
cases Alderman Miller was elected TO
act on this committee.
The following matters were referred
Ordinance establishing the grade of Elaine
street; the question of instructing the
board of public works TO readvertisc for
bids for material for the Lake Union sewer
tunnel; ordinance prohibiting the cree
ton OF buildings, fences and other obstuc-
tions on the streets, avenues or alleys be-
longing 10 the city. and declaring the
same nuisances. and providing . penalty
for lis violation; ordinance granting per-
mission to the Puget Sound x Alaska
Steamship Company 10 place a mooring
buoy i'll seven fathoms of water in Seattle
