A Preposterous Narrative.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., July ls.-Any
doubt that may have ext sted In the mind
Of the Acting Secretary OF the Navy as
to the improbability OF the story that the
Il. s. steen ar Mchican was fired upon
and disabled by the Alexandria is now
set AT rest. All the latest versions Of
this prepOsterous narrative nov agree In
fixing the date Of the alleged engagement
as May 18th. The records OF the Navy
Department show that the Mohican was
at Pert Townsend as late as May 9th.
and did not leave for Behring Sea until
tome time after that date.
PORT TOWNSEND. WASH, July -
1t is now known that the story OF the
United States steamer Mohican having
fired at the sealing poacher Alexander
and being disabled by return fre Is
canard pure and simple. The story was
started by correspondents sof Seattle pa
pers who practically admit that there
was no foundation for 1t.

The SQUARE NEEDS SWEEPING.
The Policemen Should stop Discussing the
Chances of Gubernatorial Candidates.

The walks Of the Capitol Square need
sweeping badly. Dead leaves. peanut
skells. fruit skins and paper dodgers are
allowed to lie about in most Of them, and
the brick cutters along the paths are
usually filled with leaves. sticks and
grass The cCnvicts who are sent each
day from the penitentary could do work,
and do il well. If they were made 10 do so,
but no one seems to care how the square
looks. and the convicts are allowed TO
act as messenger boys for the basement
clerks. and trim the grass in the rear Of
the Governors Mansion. so that the few

the sight. There are several policemen
employed by the Commonwealth to work
on the square. and II those individuals

grass and sweep the walks, and store un-
