WASHINGTON, August, Is 1898.
Persistent demands from republicans
senators that the senate do something
more than frtter away its time waiting
for the house to dispose of the silver
question have had the effect of bringing
about daily meetings of the senate com.

seen, however, whether any ding pract.

gagged, and every department has com
plete apparatus. The building site and
experiment station are composed of $50
acres Of the most fertile land lying along
side the city.
The pullman public school is the city's
chief pride The building which was
completed last summer is acknowledged
to be the handsomest and best arranged
structure for school purposes in the
state. Eight teachers are employed at
tbs present time. At this writing the
county teachers institute is being held
in the building, nearly 200 teachers be-
in attendance.
The water FROM the artesian wells, of
which there are eight in the city, is pure
and health. giving. 1t has slight
mineral taste which is rather agreeable,
the water being clear, cold a. d sparkling.
The city water works are supplied from
one well, which flo vs. 600 gallons per
minute. This al when free throw a
four inch stream about six feet high, or
will carry stream forty feet high. Be
sides the seven private wells, the city
water works system extends to all parts,
and water rept is very low. Artesian
water of good pressure, is obtained at
from 60 to 125 feet from the surface.
The soil and climate of the Palouse
valley is especially adapted to the rails
Jug of all varieties Of fruit common to
the temperate zone, the most famous or
ctards of the northwest being those
long Snake river II miles from Pull
man. In the immediate vicinity of Pull
man there are many fine ard thrifty
young orchards, all of which are loaded
with FRUIT. This is one of the main
shipping POINTS for the Snake river fruit
growers association, No irrigation is
needed in the Palouse country, the rain
fall being sufficient for all crops. A
failure of crops from drought or other
cause has never been known, and the
present year the yield promises to exceed
that of any year in the past. The grain
marketed in Pullman this fall will be
more than 100000 bushels, it having
nearly reached that figure last season,
Owing to the extreme stringencY in
the money markets of the world, the
times at present are little close, but
those who have travelled extensively
during the past few months say that
Pullman is indeed fortunate, and has
escaped the worst of the financial crash
that had such dire effect on other parts
of the union. With the moving of the
wheat crop which has already been com
menced, times will good and money
plentiful in Pullman. During the past
summer many improvements have been
carried forward in PGllmas. A city hal
costing $4,000 has been erected, and the
auditorium, the finest play house with
one exception in the state has been
built. Besides these many residences
and private buildings have been erected.

The force of the explosion evidently was
in every direction.
"There is no possibility that the ire
man let the water go down, for the fuse
in the boiler, which fortunately we found
was not touched. The engineer had
less than ITO pounds of steam on al
the time. as the boat was coming down
stream and there was no necessity Tor
carving much steam. just before the
explosion the fireman and engineer had
tried the water and noted the steam
pressure and found everything all right.
Inspector McDermott says the boiler
was one one of the best in the country.
Last winter when he inspected it, he
cut OFT a piece of the plate and found
no evidence of its having wasted par
ticle. The explosion was one OF those
unaccountable affairs which scientists
even cannot explain.

r, Pegram, superintendent of the Union
Pacific water lines, returned Saturday
from Snake river, where he went to in
vestigate the blowing up of the steamer
Annie Faxon. The captasn can Cffer no
solution whatever of the mystery. The
boiler was considered one of the best,
and at the time of the accident carried
no more steam than usual, nor did the
fireman allow the water to run down as
at first supposed. Captain Pegram
said:
''On reaching Wade's bar L found the
Faxon sunk with her head ia five and
stern in nine feet of water. The wreck
was complete, everything being blown
off except 80 feet of the house over the
stern. One piece of the boiler was back
of the engine, and the irebox tilted for
ward. Some of the boiler plates had
the rivets cut off as clean as though
done with shears. Eighteen feet of the
middle of the boiler could not be found
The house was reduced to splinters.

New YORK. Aug. 2s.-There has been
some questioning Of late by those inter
csted regarding tho proposed issuance of
the Northern Pacific receivers certificates
and their priority over bonds. William
Nelson Cromwell. counsel for the recciv-
ers. In speaking about this matter to-day
said the issuance Of the certificates would
in no wise iniure the bondholders, be-
cause the receivers had particularly pro-
posed TO the court that the certificates DO
secured by the identical securities re-
deemed. and which are believed TO be
much more valuable than the certificates
issued. and secondary only TO a charge on
the railroad. This plan OF using certiti.
Gates will minimize any oncroachment
upon the lien Of bondholders and secure
to the estate equity in securities.

TROUBLE AT THE FAIR.
Two Commissioasrs Charged with More
or Less Monkey Work

CHICAGO, Aug. 2e. - Tho sensational
charges against Commissioner Mercer Of
Wyoming and Beeson of Oklahoma, Of
corruption in connection with tho award
OF medals brought out an unusual number
OF national worlds fair commissioners to-
day. Tho members began to assemble in
tho corridors Of the administration build
ing and discussed tho matter with good
deal of vi9or. All seemed TO favor q
thorough investigation and IL tho accusa.
tion proved true to prosecute them for
malfeasance in Office. The matter In all
probability will be brought up rs soon as
tho commissioners meet this afternoon.
Many commissioners favor q thorough
overhauling OF all judges Of awards rec
commended by either OF the accused men,
hers. One of the commissioners said !:
Commissioners Beeson and Mercer have
interested themselves In the appointment
of more judges than any other two mem.
bers of the commission.
Mercer 10 vehement in denial that he is
guilty Of any wrong doing. He claims to
know nothing about the attempt to
squeeze $4,000 out of Wolfschmidt, tho
Russian whiskey and wine exhibitor, to
insure him tho first premium on his ex.
hibit, beyond that which he has read in
the papers.
~ never heard of Mrs. Harmon" ho
said, 'until she was introduced to mo
Saturday in front of tho agricultural
building by Becson. Beeson said she was
an old friend of his. An hour or SO later
heard that she had becn arrested for
trying to obtain money from an exhibitor
TO secure an award in his favor"
The judging of live stock continued to-
day aud formed q centre of attraction.
In the meeting OF the commission to-day
Commissioner Mercer made vigorous
dcnials Of any connection with tho alleged
bribery case. He demanded committee
of investigation. Beeson OF Oklahoma
also made denial and committee was
appointed. Then Chairman Thatcher of
the awards committee came forward with
aiillavits from officials of the Carey Safe
company, charging that j. L. Higbce had
demanded s2,2O for securing favorable
award. The commission Instructed the
committee to take up this matter. Higbco
arose and declared the charge absurd. He
said lie would bring action in the courts
for damages.
