TACOMA, April a-lSpecial IF. N. Wade
has returned from California. speaking
of the advantages of Puget sound in the
matter of freight rates. he said:
learned on this trip that San Francisco mer-
chants were shipping goods to the so1nd Dy
boat and then reshipping the same East BY rail-
A quantity oil goods for such shipment East
came up on the Walla Walla OF course, the
Sound must have advantages over San Francisco
IN freigh. rates, or elsa San Francisco merchants
would not ship here, to DO forwarded East 10
Chicago and other Eastern points In the mat
ter OF retailing goods found that articles could
Be bought - cheap, II not cheaper here on the
Sound than In California
Mr. Wade found business fairly active
in San Francisco and quite active at Los
Angeles and San Diego. At the latter
place he estimates that per cent Of the
entire population is made up of tourists.
Mr. Wade lett for trip down Sound this
evening.
Congressman John L. Wilson was in the
city today. Speaking of the Indian reserva-
tians Of the state. he said:
Funds have been prov .ded for making sur
vey OF the Colvilie reservation this year. and
then the lands will be allotted In sevefalty to
the Colvilie Indians ana what remains will be
thrown open. think this viii be done at the
next meeting OF eougresa The Indian agencies
east OF the mountains may be consolidated, and
there may probably not be over one agent for
the whole district While the agencies west OF
the mountains may be reduced. it - thought
there will at least have to be more than two
agents for the reservations on this side.
Democrat says that considering the
number of applicants for positions as In
dian agents IN this state, the number Of
agencies ought to be increased instead Of
diminished.
Mr.. Wilson thinks the bill providing for
the sale Of the Puyallup reservation lands
ought to give the Indians the desired
authority, which has been asked for, to en-
able them to turn some Of their real estate
into cash.
1t is expected tina: the commissioners,
who will dispose Of the reservation a. pro-
vided by this bill, will be announced in .
few days. At the last meeting of the In
dams they agreed not to offer for sale any
lands under tho Wilson bill, which pro-
vides a. above set forth. Mr.. Wilson will
return to Washington City early in May.

Cured at s a. m. when the British flag
ship Blake and her consorts, the Ma
gicienne and the Tartar, hoisted their
anchors out of the North river mud
and steamed through the narrows
for Bermuda, whence, after ten days
stay, the three vessels will proceed to
Halifax. The Australia, on account of
her being put out of commits
sion in a COUPLE of months, goes
straight to the latter port. A few
hours after the departure of the
Britishers the grim Jean Bart started
for the French port of Rochefort.
Another loss to the line will be the
caravels, which start for the worlds fair
at Chicago. The tiny Pinta will be
towed to Halifax by the United
States cruiser Chicago, the Nina by
the Bennington and the Santa Maria
will attempt to carry her numbering

scorcH-lRisH CONGRESS.

Prof. Morse Not the Original Inventor a
the Telegraph-According to One OF the
Speakers, Joseph Henry Was tho First
Discoverer.
SPRINGFIELD, o., May 13.--Thc train6
Thursday night and Friday morn
ing brought in n large additional NUM-
Der of people to attend the Scotch-Irish
congress. Among the most distinguished
was DIR. John Hall, the eminent Presby-
tcrian divine of New York city.
Calvin S. Brice Is among the we'll
known American citizens just elected
to membership in the congress.
At the session of the congress Friday
morning, Prof. McCloslsie, of Prince
ton, read paper on Joseph Henry,
whom he pronounced the greatest
scientists America has ever produced.
Henry, he stated, was Scotch-Irish.
He told of Henry's various great inven-
tions, and how he refused to bother
with patcnting his inventions, prefer.
ring, instead, to give his genius for tho
benefit of the human race.
He suggested that Edison would add
to his greatness if he should do the
same. He claimed that Henry had
really solved the problem of electric
telegraphy nine year before Prof.
Morse. Henry was the father of the in
vention and Morse the nurse In 1s47
Henry resigned his professorship and
organized the Smithsonian institution
in Washington. He was offered the
presidency of Princeton twice, but both
times refused 1t. He was the founder
of the present bureau of information
on the weather and the light
house signaling at sea. His
discovery of the best illuminant saved
the government 100000 per year.
Henry's grandmother was born in Scot
land and his grandfather in Ireland,
thus making him full Scotch-Irish in
descent.
The next address was by DIR. d. G.
Kelly, of Tennessee. DR.. Kelly handled
his subject of NAVAL Heroes" with rara
skill. He showed how much the Scotch-
| Irish blood has contributed to the naval
history of the republic. The morning
session closed with some remarks by
Henry Wallace, Of Des Moines, Ia,
where it is desired to hold the next
congress. He paid a glowing tribute
to the Ohio man, admitting that he
"gets there" upon all occasions.
Incidental to the congress a meeting
is to be held in the interests of the
mountain whites of the south Saturday
afternoon, in the First Presbyterian
church, at which DR.. John Hall will
preside. The number of new members
proposed and elected to membership in
the society during the present Sessions
has been very large. The congress closes
Saturday night, but DR.. John Hall is
to preach in the city hall Sunday after
noon. At the meeting Friday night
the following was the programme:

ment. The affidavit of Mr.. Martin was

and sentenced for the crime of homi-
eide in shooting Jim Fisk was civilly
dead and the charges brought by him

self (Martin) could not be entertained.

Stokes from all consequences of his
crime. This introduction of the pardon
