KENYON AND THE SIDEWALK.
The Flag of Truce Withdrawn-Talk
With q Committee.

A special meeting of the the board of
public works was held yesterday for con-
su.tation with Aldermen Carrie and Wolfe
and Delegates Calligan and Timothy Ryan
as the council committees on fire and
water. The object was to consider the adj
visibility of accepting an offer of r. ID.
Wood & Co. to supply six miles of six
inch pipe and eight miles of eight-inch
pipe, the inducement being that it can be
had delivered at $3.50 per ton less than the
city is now paying as there is quantity of
those sizes in stock and the Lincoln is now
loading at Philadelphia for this port.
Alderman Garlic said the question was
whether the city could afford it.
Commissioner Hebron replied that the
pipe would not be here for SIX months and
the saving of IS or SO per ton was quite a
whether it would be needed at that time.
Mr.. Calligan was satisfied that it was a
bargain If the city could afford it.
Superintendent Valid said the demand
for fire protection was very great and it
could not be given with smaller pipe.
The cost of laying small supply pipe was
nearly as great as for laying one large
enough to give protection also.
Alderman Carle, speaking OF the unpro O.
tected condition of the northern part of
the city, complained Of the delay in reach
ing fires through the location of the fire
alarm at the Western mill.
Mr. Calligau asked if the board could
not stand off the people who were petit
tioning for pipe.
Commissioner Rinehart replied that
they would have to wait six months until
the pipe arrived.
The committee will report the result OF
their investigations to the council on
Monday night
The controversy between the city and
J. Gardner Kenyon as to the sidwalk at
Madison and Front streets was renewed.
Attorney Shook declined, on behalf OF
Mr.. Kenyon, to enter into a stipulation to
waive all claim for damages, the city also

Bloody Fight Between Convict..

SAN FRAScIsco, March 31.-There was
another bloody ARRAY at San Quentin yes
terday. None of the guards were attacked,
for it was convicts' quarrel. Martin
Gleason and James Wilkinson, convicts,
engaged in desperate conflict, which
would have resulted in the certain death
Of both had it not been terminated by the
timely interference of the guards. Both
men were ordered to roll number of bales
Of Jute from the Enclosure into the lutte
mill. Everything apparently went we'll
until after the dinner hour, when the men
resumed work. 1t appears that Gleason
accused Wilkinson of trying to shirk
work. This accusation aroused Wilkin-
IONS ire, and without warning he rushed
at Gleeson and attempted to strike him
With bale hook. Gleeson was equal to
the occasion, and also having bale hook
IN his hand, received Wilkinson by strik-
ing him in the mouth with the hook.
Gleason followed up his temporary advan-
tage, and before Wilkinson could retaliate
tore his face in several places with his
Weapon. When Wilkinson found he had
lost all his front teeth and on the whole
was getting a good dea! the worst of the
ARRAY, he drew knife used for cutting
hemp and slashed his opponent across the
Elroat. Several guards, who noticed the
commotion, forced Wilkinson into cell,
yhile Gleeson, who was bleeding profusey,
Was removed to the prison hospital. The
doctor considered tho wound very danger

commerce large number of Seattle's most
Intelligent women gathered to hear Mrs.
Alice C. Houghton talk on Worlds fair

liver an address on Wash ington art at the

Mrs. Slaughter spoke on art and gave
some valuable hints regarding the neces-
sity of small paintings and state subjects.
She closed by advising the formation of
local art league.
Mrs. Alsora d. Fry was called upon and
spoke on behalf of the rhododendron as
the state flower. She said it was the
evergreen flower; it was plentiful; it was
stately, and fit emblem of this common
wealth. The speakerssaid, moreover, that
Seattle had secured but little representa-
ton in the distribution of Worlds fair ia
vors and that this city wanted the honor
of naming the state flower. Mrs. Hough-
ton graciously said she would give the
matter due and proper consideration.
Mrs. Alice Jordan Blake was elected
temporary chairman of the proposed art
league, and before adjourning it was
agreed to hold meeting this afternoon at
2o'clock, at the Rainier hotel. to effect
permanent organization of the league.

for damages.
Corporation Counsel Donworth said tn at
was the original intention in drafting the
preamble of the agreement, and counsel
for Kenyon had so expressed himself. As
there was a doubt as to the construction
he advised the board to insist upon the
condition.
Commissioner Hebron moved that the
whole subject be laid on the table, and
that was agreed to.
Mr.. Shook then gave the board notice
to remove that part of the sidewalk which
he claims projects over Kenyon's property

WORLDS FAIR BUILDING.
Bids for Work VIII Not Be Advertised
For.

Some complaints have been made by
builders in various parts of the state that
only one firm, Rigby & Evans, has any
chance to secure the contract for erecting
the Washington Worlds fair building at
Chicago, because the contract is not to be
let to the lowest bidder after due adver-
easement for proposals.
Percy W. Rochester, of this city, who Is
amember of the Worlds fair commission,
said yesterday that he was not committed
to Rigby Il Evans, nor was the commits
sion. At the last meeting of the commits
sion the building committee, consisting of
Dr.. n. g. Blalock, Percy w. Rochester and
r. {. kaufman, was authorized to let the
contract for building to this firm in case
Its bid was sufficiently low. In speaking
Of this matter, Mr.. Rochester declared:
"The truth is that we have lost so much
time in this fight over the plans that we
have none to spend in advertising for pro-
posals. As il is, we believe that all the re-
tponsible bidders in the state who
would care to bid know the con-
dition affairs are in, and so
no formal advertisement is really
needed. Our idea is that as soon as the
plans and specifications are complete,
which will not be before the middle of
April We will have the architect figure the
expense. Then | shall be in favor of con-
ndering bid from any responsible con-
tractor. But we must have men who are
thoroughly responsible, for the building
must be completed at certain time, and
We car not afford to have any risks. All
the material is to be furnished by the COM
mission, so that the profit to any con-
Tractor must necessarily be small, so small
that it would not pay us to run risks in
order TO save a few dollars.
we want to have our building put up
IN the best manner, and we want it done
On Tine So we must have q contractor
Who can give the best of bonds. do not

THE TEAMSCOMPARED
What Pacific Northwest Players
Did Last Season.
BATTINGAND FIELDING RECORDS
On Paper Portland Has the Best Hitters
The Seattle Team Takes the
Lead in Base-Running.

While averages in baseball often fail to
indicate accurately the work of the differ
ent players, they serve, more especially in
batting, to give an idea of what these men
nave done. Accurate figuring on the COM
parative batting or fielding strength of
minor league clubs is impossible. The
players are gathered from various leagues,
whose rating varies; the figures do not
indicate whether or not they are record
players, and numerous other obstacles
present themselves. The batting and field
ing averages of the four clubs of the Pacific
Northwest League, which are given below,
are in all Instances the records of the men
during 1891. In some leagues the official
averages have been incompletely made up
or have not been published at all. 1t is,
therefore, of course impossible to publish
the full records of men from these leagues.
On paper the Portland team seems to be
the strongest in batting. Seattle has un-
doubleday the best base running team. In
fielding but little idea can be formed, as
some of the men will this year play in diff
ferent positions, and most of them with
different surroundings.
The figures in batting for the four teams
are as follows:

THE BOSTON MINE BONDED.
eeattie Man Secures One of the Richest
IN the Rich Cascade District.


In the Rich Cascade District.
The Boston galena mine in the Cascade
oistrict was Yesterday bonded by leading
seattle capitalist for a good round sum.
II Is owned by J. G. Rouse and G. l..
noWse, who have given an option on it
Tor Tour months. After that period the
option may be extended, but may termin-
ate at the expiration of two months
notice from the sellers.
The mine is at the headwaters of the
cascade river and was discovered in 1889.
The vein is to Is feet wide Throughout the
l,ooo feet and the pay stre&k, which is 21s
70. 4 feet wide, is solid galena ore, running
o0 to 100 ounces of silver and so to 90 per
cent. of lead to the ton. The balance is
concentrating ore. The prospecting work
done on it consists of 40 feet on one tun-
mel, 30 feet on another tunnel and 20-foot
cross-cut.
The mine has been highly spoken of by
many mining men and was bonded for
$l5o,0o0 by Helena syndicate in Septem-
Der, 1890. This option was allowed to
lapse, but the price at which 1t has again
been bonded is rather larger than smaller
than was then offered. ]. F. Wardner
said it was the best prospect he had ever
seen, better than the Bunker Hill or Sui
livan mine in the Ceur d'Alenes. NJ. E.
Downs also said it was the best he ever
saw and Daniel Ferguson made the same
remark and strongly advised the
Helena men to take it. T. NJ Reed,
jr., said there was "a million
in sight" s. G. Dewsnap said it was a
big thing, and r. D. Jennings, of the Ska
git coal mine, said it was the best defined
ledge he ever saw. The owners think ir
would be worth more than they are offered
but for the low price of silver and lead.
Other mines on the same ledge are also
very rich, including the Alto. the Mitus
and the Johnsburg, and the keystone.
which is black sulphide ledge parallel
with the Boston, is even richer.
