Where is the fellow that said our
party would never be heard of after
the election? With the Massachu-
settS legislature memOrializing con-

phones; the Ohio legislature receiv-
ing resolutions to adopt the initiative
and referendum, with some of the q.
o. p. papers trying to steal our thun-

municipal OwnerShips: the Peoples
party candidate receiving over a
thousand votes in a Massachusetts,
district for congress, an increase of
over 80 per cent. since the last cleo
tlOn: only one senator returned from
the entire district west of the Miss

fusing to touch the tariff or silver
questions, and the attitude of the
administration more herOiCally an
tagoniStic to every popular demand
than Harrison in his palmiest days

any regrets, or intention not to do SO
again? Then don't worry, Mr.. Plute.

The farmers who held their wheat
this year are feeling good, but the
farmers who held their wheat last
year-well, that was different.
Wolves are still numerous west of
town, and one farmer out there tells
us that there are more wolves in that
neigbbOrhOOd now than there were
five or six years ago.
Our people were the happiest after
the rain Sunday than they have been
for a long time. There is no use
denying the fact, the crop outlook
was pretty gloomy, but after the rain
the man who had no crops and not
a cent in sight felt just as good as
the farmer. The bung is out now
and when that happens in Kansas.
we generally yet all the rain we need
and more too.

1t IL Opened by Queen Victoria, who
Made Her Last Public Appearance.
LONDON, May 10.-The British Imperial
Institute opened today with brilliant
ceremony by Queen Victoria. The weather
was beautiful. This, it is said. will be the
queens last public appearance Her
majesty appeared in good health and radi-
ant spirits. She bowed necessarily in re-
sponse to the cheers of tho multitudes.
All the royal princes and princesses were
attended by brilliant retinues. The queen
was conducted by the Prince Of Wales to
the dais in the great hall of the institute.
She took her seat on the chair of state.
surrounded by royal princes and prin-
cesses and distinguished and representa-
tive men from all parts of the empire, for
eign princes, ambassadors and ministers.
The Prince Of Wales read an address from
the governing body of the institute,
thanking her majesty for the interest she
had taken in the foundation and progress
OF the institute. Her majesty read
formal response, after which the building
was declared inaugurated and splendid
master key of elegant workmanship was
presented to the queen.
The key was made of metals and
precious stones from all parts Of
the British Empire. This key
her majesty inserted in the beautiful
silver model of the imperial institute,
which was presented to the Prince and
Princess of w ales on their silver wedding
day by the citizens of London. Placing the
key in the model completed the circuit of
the electric signal to the queens tower of
the institute, which signal was Immediately
rung upon the bells, and simultaneously
salutes were fired from the guns Of bat
terry of horse artillery drawn up in Hyde
park. This part Of the ceremony having
been concluded, the queen returned to the
east colonnade, entered her carriage and
was driven along the imperial institute
road to the queens gate. the enthusiasm
of the people being as strongly marked a.
on her arrival. There IL some comment,
especially in conservative circles. over the
fact that Prime Minister Gladstone was
not among tho distinguished men present
at the opening. But Gladstone's wife and
daughter were present and John Morley,
chief secretary for Ireland. was also alb
sent. Those members Of the cabinet pres
ent hurried to the commons a. soon as
possible after the ceremony and the queen
returned to Windsor this evening.

states Ii the latter, then 1t occurs to me that
the Chinese residents OF this country have need
to repeat the old prayer that they may be saved
from their friends or their counsel, for il they
can induce the court to hold that this power
does not belong to the Federal government. but
rests In the people of the several states no per-

rio themselves of the presence OF Chinese by
appropriate legislation The state of the Chi

the act under consideration seeks only to pre-

most directly affected, would probably be dras-
tic In character, with the purpose, not Of pro-

domain the obnoxious race.
J. Hubley Ashton concluded the argu-
ment. traversing somewhat different
ground by an argument that the question
concerned the fundamental principles Of

BERIN0 SEA ARBITRATION.

Cir Charles Russell Begins HIS Reply to
Carter and Coudeft.
PARIS, May 10.-Attorney General Sir
Charles Russell, Of the counsel for Great
Britain before tho Bering sea tribunal of
arbitration, began his address today in
behalf Of the British case. The court room
was thronged.
Sir Charles began by bestowins generous
praise on the argument OF Carter and Coudert.
Nevertheless. he went on to say that he thought
Carter's line OF argument had taken him into
the misty clouds OF tho metaphysical and ethi-
cal. which had no bearing upon the case, and
that he also built strongholds which were
legally indefensible. For instance, the theory
that foreign vessels could be seized In time OF
peace; that pelagic sealing was criminal. and
that seals, although wild, nevertheless were
American property, because they possessed
anixnum revertendt, displayed . remarkable con-
fusion OF ideas Seals were like game which
land owner had right to kill. although only
when on his land. An fmum recertendf conferred
property rights in wild animals only when the
wild animals were induced by artificial
means, such as feeding them. to
turn to particular place. He quoted
the past history of tho slave trade to
prove that actions In themselves wrong were
not necessarily offensive against international
law. He agreed with the Americans that il was
preferable that seals should be exterminated
from the straight Hue of the law. The whole
question was exaggerated. The American coun-
sci spoke of sealskins though the disappear
auce OF the animals furnishing sealskins would
cause rude shock to civilization. Sir Charles
would not assert that sealskips were not Deces-
sary to happiness in this world or the next bus
he pointed out that it was only about the year
1850 that the method of preparing skins was dis
covered which put them into the market as ar
ticles of luxury. The counsel for the United
States had dwelt upon the cost OF Alaska and
the value OF that territory TO the United States
on account Of seals, but at the time of the pur-
chase of Alaska the United States did not take
the seals into consideration.
This statement led to a lengthy discus
sion as to the correctness Of the assertion.
Then Sir Charles. continuing. urged that
the methods OF sealing on Pribilof islands
were more destructive and more cruel
than pelagic sealing. He ridiculed the
profession of the United States that it was
acting in this matter in a spirit of human
itv. Pelagic sealing, he said. was due to
the enormous tax imposed by the United
States upon the iessees Of the seal islands.
Sir Charles Indignantly repudiated the
charges impugning impartiality to the
British commissioners.

Important Business Tranaacted-Timo Of
Annual Meeting CHANGED.

Annual Meeting Changed.
OLYMPIA. May 1o.-[Special. THE social
session for visiting Odd Fellows, Rebek-
abs and their friends closed the second
days proceedings of the Grand Lodge.
At the opening of the business session this
morning petition asking for new lodge
at Woodland. Cowlitz county, was granted.
The committee appointed to consider the
matter of redistricting the state reported,
recommending that each subordinate lodge
be made district, and the report was
adopted. This change does away with the
twenty-five district deputy grand masters
and will result in quite a saving to
the subordinate lodges. There will
be one deputy for each lodge now
appointed by the grand master as hereto
fore. Grand Master Alban is said to be
the father of this measure Upon the
recommendation of fourteen representa-
tives the past grand masters Jewel was
voted 10 Past Grand Master Holmes. of
Seattle. in recognition OF his services to
the order in compiling code of the state
laws. This was in accordance with a rec
ommendation of the grand master in his
annual report. The bonds of the grand
secretary and the grand treasurer were
fixed at $4,000 each. They will be pre-
sented 10 the lodge tomorrow.
Suitable resolutions commemorative of
the virtues of departed brother were pre-
sented by the committee on obituaries and
adopted. About fifty deaths have occurred
in the order throughout the state during
the past year.
The committees on petitions recon-
mended that charters be granted TO sub
ordinate lodges Nos. 124 to l37 inclusive,
and TO Rebekah lodges Nos. 45 to 56. in
elusive. and the report was adopted.
During the afternoon large number of
resolutions from the Grand Assembly.
Daughters of Rebekah, were acted upon.
The one asking for an intercession with
the Sovereign Grand Lodge for second
degree was indorsed. No action could be
taken upon the one relating TO the hand
ling of supplies for the Rebekah lodges by
the treasury of the Grand Assembly be-
cause of the provision made by the Sow
ereign Grand Lodge regulating this matter.
The time of holding the annual meeting
Of the Grand Lodge was changed by vote
OF i54 ayes to 40 nays from the second
Tuesday in May to the first Tuesday in
June, to 20 into effect in 1894. Amend
ments relating to changes in the constitu.
ton governing the election of officers were
postponed. The compensation Of officers
and representatives was fixed not to ex-
ceed s. per day while in attendance, with
a mileage of 10 cents per mile one way
The sum OF $500 was appropriated 10 de-
fray the travelling expenses of the grand
master. The lodge adjourned at O'Clock
