WASHINGTON LETTER.

The Election Bill will stick In the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-Had President
Cleveland the tact which experience
should have given to any man old enough
to have been elected president of the Un-
tied States he might have at any time dur.
ing the last three or four weeks have die
tated the terms of a compromise by which
the purchasing clause of the silver law
might have been repealed. But he knew
more than all his advisers and insisted
that the senate should make the ridicu.

gan on Wednesday night of this week, the
failure OF which was openly predicted be.

EuPHRASiA.
The Beautiful Legend Connected with the
Dedication OF Sc. Sophia.

Dedication of 81. Sophia.
A legend connected with the Church
Of St. Sophia is recalled by "An Idle
Woman in Constantinople," and as 1t
contains a moral fragrant of truth 1t
may we'll be held in perpetual remem-
brance. When the basilica was I'm
ished Emperor Justinian gave or
ders that an inscription In letters OF
gold should be placed about the dome:
"Justinian dedicates this church to the
glory OF Cod" But on th,Adass-af the
public opening the emperor looked up
at the dome and saw, with amazement,
that the inscription ran: "Euphrasia
dedicates this church to the glory of
God"
"What is the meaning of this mock
ery?" he asked, pointing upward, and
turning to the patriarch sitting beside
the throne he said: did not COM
mand you to have my name engraven
on the dome2"
"Who is Euphrasia2" called the
patriarch. "Who knows woman
bearing such 4 name? If anyone can
answer let him speak"
From the priests to the lowest OF the
assembled thousands the question:
"Who is Euphrasia?" ran round the
church. No one answered. At length,
while the emperor sat mute and
amazed, miserable fellow who
cleaned the marble floor stepped forth
and said:
"Imperial Caesar, to whom am un-
worthy to raise my eyes, l know a
woman with such name, but she is
almost bedridden. She lives In @ little
house near one OF the walls Of the
church"
Bring her hither," commanded the
emperor, and straightway pages and
chamberlains rushed out and soon re-
appeared carrying an aged woman
who trembled in every limb.

emperor.

receiving freight, as owing 10 the failure
of the trains of the Lake Shore & Monte
Cristo roads to connect at Hartford. freight
has 10 lie there a day before being taken
forward. This delay is due to a dispute
between the two roads in regard TO local
traffic between Snohomish and points on
the Monte Cristo road east OF Hartford
The Monte Cristo company claims that
it has right under its mileage contract
with the Lake Shore TO take freight on Its
own trains through from Snohomish to
points on its own line, and demands 10 be
allowed TO do so. The Lake Shore people
claim that such business IS their own local
business, and should be taken by
their own trains, but have offered.
in order 10 avoid delays, to
allow the Monte Cristo trains to
take it on condition that the Lake Shore
agent at Snohomish is male joint agent
and that he makes re urns to both COM
panies, so that the revenue derived from 1t
may be divided according TO traffic con-
tract TO be arranged in future. The Monte
Cristo company declines to have joint
agent or to have any reports on this bus
mess rendered TO the Lake Shore. insisting
that it has right TO carry it under its
present contract.
In spite of this controversy. the delay
might he avoided If the Monte Cristo CON-
pany did not find il inconvenient 10 run
its trains so as to connect with those OF
the Lake Shore at Hartford. As it is, the
east-bound Monte Cristo train leaves that
junction just before the Lake Shore north
bound train arrives there. Tins all freight
and passengers going over the Lake Shore
destined for points on the Monte Cristo
have to lie over at Hartford for day. q
delay which is serious for perishahle
freight In order to avoid this delay, mer-
chants on the Monte Cristo road have
to either buy at Everett or have freight
shipped by train or boat to Everett and
there transferred to the Monte Cristo
trains. while passengers from Seattle have
to take the same route in order to 60
through on the same day.

botham-The Funeral Arrangements.
The first death in the Newsboys' union

when Cecil Higginbotham saccumbed TO
heart disease, aged Il years. 5 months. at
"a Vest Stewart street. Cecil. who was
brother OF Arthur Higginbotham. the sec
rotary of the union, was taken Ill with
pleuro-pneumonia last March and has
been Ill ever since.
The boy was well known TO the public,
for he had sold the Posr-ISTELLIaESeER
his usual place OF business being IN the
neighborhood of Front and Columbia
streets for the last three years, never hav-
ing missed a morning, and just before his
death he told his brother he wanted to get
well so that he could sell the paper again.
He was a favorite among the newsboys
and they visited him during his illness
and often took him flowers. fruit and deli
cacies. He was a regular attendant at the
Denny ecnool.

Nearly All i'm Operation and Prices

Nearly All In Operation and Prices
Rising-Lngging Business Resumed
The prospects of the shingle industry
present quite contrast to the conditions
a month ago. OF the fifty-two mills on the
Lake Shore road, only seven are now idle.
while at the end of August there were
only about seven in operation. The de-
mand from the East is increasing apnre-
ciably and shipments have been made re-
Gently to points as far away as New
Jersey. The price is at the same time
stiffening up encouragingly. During the
worst period of the depression 6x2s were
selling as low as si.15. but sales have re-
Gently been made at $i25 aud some man.
ufacturers are now asking Sl.S5 and ST. 10
for that size. For SKIS so is being paid
freely. and the price is tending upward
and approaching sl.f5.
renewal of activity in the logging in
dustry is naturally following this increased
production OF shingles. OF the camps on
the Lake Shore road, Gearing's at Pearl sta
ton and the Stevens spur camp have begun
shipping, Cypher's camp near Snohomish
starts today and McDougall, Jackson.
Veazey & Co. begin shipping from their
new camp near Preston in about a week.
