tracts which, at the date OF the grant,
were covered by entries or filings which
were subsequently Cancelled. Prior to May

always held that land which, on

THE PASSING THRoSG.

Prof. George Bancroft, of Denver. .
lecturer on the subject of psychology
VINO has visited Seattle several times dur
ing the PAST SIX years. il q. the 0cci-
dental hotel on his way home from
a trip over tie eastern side of the globe,
be having Iectrred over New South Wales
and Victoria land since leaving Denver
early in January. On his way home he
passed through Ceylon,. India, the
lower part of China and Japan.
Mr.. Bancroft'a visit TO Seattle is
hardly a psychological one, and the at
traction of Seattle for him is easily ex-
plsined. He is about TO become bene-
dict, and on Sunday morning viii be mar
ried to Miss Rose Bagiey, of this city, we'll
known eiocutionist, who is King county
girl, although only recently returned from
the East Mr.. Bancroft became &C
aua;nted with his fiancee while both were
making professional tour OF the New
England states. Prof Bancroft has
many interesting stories to tell
Of his experience in travelling
over the Southern states and
Mexico. In the latter country. he was
one time arrested and thrown into prison
for the purpose Of extorting from him ran
som under the name Of fine. He stood
it for few days and then appealed to
the American minister. but got no
help. He then threw himself on
the hands of the British consul of the
port where he was imprisoned and secured
his release at once. The Mexicans of the
lower class, he says, still retain great
deal of their antipathy for the
Yankees and a traveller from the
United States who understands the
language is in danger of insults at every
turn. Were it not for Texas, the more
ignorant think, Mexico could easily con-
quer the United States; they can con-
ceive of nothing beyond Texas. in China
Mr.. Bancroft made some inquiry into the
conditions of the workingmen and the
progress of Western arts among them.
The most surprising thing he saw
was a mandatory where 1000 men were
st work ut the wages of cents day max
ing tinware of all kinds in the most skill
ful manner, each man making but one
part of the article being manufactured,
but doing that with the rapidity
and nicely of machine. Several
influential Chinese he spoke to through
an interpreter expressed indignation
against the United States government for
the attempt to exclude Chinese laborers.
The Japanese he found to be uniformly
inclined to be friendly to Americans.

TACOMA CHARTER REVISION.
Provisions Against Kruggery--Largs Re,
auctions In Salaries.


TACOMA. Sept. 2l-iSpeeisl. THE char
rer revision committee has completed its
report. and among the recommendations
is one regarding the use and care of the
city funds. Ii makes ii compulsory for
the city council to designate the banks in
which the money shall be deposited, and
that such repositories shall furnish bonds
or securities to the extent of twice the
amount of the money deposited with
them.
Every Monday morning the banks con-
tanning the city funds are to report the
amount of cash belonging to the CITY on
hand when the bank closed the previous
Saturday evening. The city controller Is
also to make like report, and his and the
banks reports must agree. These reports
are TO be made to the city council, and
without collision, Chairman Grattan, of
the charter revision committee. believes
there will be no chance for fraud.
With this sort of arrangement the city
treasurer would not have to give bonds for
as large an amount as at present. as he
would not have the handling of the city
funds except in small amounts. The
committee also recommends that his sal
airy be clipped from 81, 000 as at present, to
s., 500 per year. Other reductio us are
made which, together with officials to be
dispensed with, makes total reduction of
over $4,000 per year. The principal sal

senator squire. Compromi.e nnl.

WASHINGTON CRY. Sept. 2l.-[Special. r.
Senator Squire became very tired of the
way in which the debate went on In the
senate, and that is what induced him TO
talk in favor of the compromise. Senator
Squire does not think that this country
will suffer If the silver coinage is increased
to $500. 0o0.o0o. France supports that much
silver and Senator Squire sees no reason
why this country should not carry like
amount. But Senator Squire was actuated
more than anything else by desire to
have the financial question settled for
good. He thinks the delay in the senate
Is worse for the country than definite set
Element one way or another. By close and
careful figuring the senator was of the
opinion that Ii would be impossible to
pass the unconditional repeal bill for
long time. There we're at least twenty
five members Of the senate who were de-
termined to fight the repeal to the end.
Senator Squire said he did not put for
ward his scheme as a cure-all or because
he wanted TO assume financial leadership.
but he wanted the question settled one
way or another and had come TO the con-
clusion that there was no other way out of
the present unfortunate controversy ex-

question of what kind of compromise
should be adopted. 1t had to be something
that would satisfy the silver men and
which the administration would accept.
The Washington senator proposed his
scheme and it found favor among great
many senators. How it will be received
when vote is taken 10 another matter.
Senator Squire SAYS he will vote for un-
conditional repeal. if some acceptable COM
promise can not ne agreed upon.
