BELGIAN WORKINGMEN REvoLT-
Belgium seems to be on the verge of a
revolution. A reign OF terror exists.
The socialists are holding turbulent
meetings, denouncing the authorities
and demanding universal suffrage.
The Mayor of Brussels was assaulted,
Tuesday, by band OF socialists and
knocked senseless on the sidewalk
with billet of wood. Constant en-
counters are taking place between the
police and the lawless crowd Of fanat-
les. The revolt has become so threat
ening that it is thought Germany and
Austria will be justified under the
treaty OF 1881 to interfere in support
OF the crown.

A NOTED PoLYGAMIsT.-A man by
the name of Hammond has turned up
in Victoria who is undoubtedly the
most married man in that or any
other country. He hailed originally
from Ontario, Canada, where he start
ed out with the prefix of Rev." to
his name. He went through the New
England States adding choice collect
ion of wives to the beginning he had
made at Ontario, He then tried the
South with unvarying success in
marital adventures till he made a
jump to Australia, but was roasted out
from that country on a simple charge
of swindling. AT Auckland, New
Zealand, and Honolulu, he was discov-
cred, however, at his old tricks, and he
skipped to Frases River. where he
swindled farmer in a large land deal
and soon afterwards appeared at
Victoria, accompanied by handsome
woman, who he introduced as his wife.
1t is said that so far as reported, he
has eight wives, with several precincts
to hear from.

Is He LEGALLY DEAD OR ALIVE
This question, in the Moses Scott case,
has been transferred t, the highest
tribunal, the Supreme Court OF the
United States, and N. S. Porter and
NJ. A. Root, the attorneys for Scott
and McNeal, respectively, have gone
on to Washington to present the case
before those august judges. 1t will be
remembered that McNeal was the
purchaser of realty belonging to Scott,
who had absented himself many years,
and the presumption of death had
been 80 strong that all his effects had
passed through the prescribed course
OF administration in the Probate Court.
The Superior Court held that the
probate proceedings were binding I'M
der the action brought for recovery,
and the Supreme Court affirm ed that
decision. The case was then appealed,
as stated above, to the U. S. Supreme
Court, and the result is awaited with
great interest.

ANOTHER HoRRoR.-Each passing
week furnishes chapter OF horrors by
storm, flood, or cyclone. Last week
it was the far South that mad suffered
from this visitation. This week it is
the newly settled country, Okalama,
which has felt the mighty power OF
these mysterious forces of nature. 1t
is reported that 81 human lives were
sacrificed by the terrible cyclone that
passed over portion of the State
Wednesday night. The damage to
property is inestimable. The brunt of
the storm seems to have been laid
upon the prosperous little town of
Norman, on the Santa Fe Railroad,
about twenty miles south of Okalama
City. At that place 81 people were
killed, and many more injured and
the town was almost completely de.
stroyed. The towns of Downs and
Keokuk Falls Jared little better. A
pathway was cut through Pottowatto-
mic county by the terrible visitant.

The REASON WHY.-The New Vest
outfit was removed this week to Seat
tie. Mr.. Radebaugh made the mistake
of assailing an influence which the
people were exceedingly anxious to
propitiate, and of which they were at
the time asking important and costly
improvement of local transportation
facilities. Corporations as long as
they are formed of men, will be con-
trolled by finite motives. and must OF
necessity possess all the impulses
which actuate the individuality OF
man. Retaliation for unfriendly acts
is as much part of the policy of a
combination Of men, as of single in
dividual. 1t would, therefore, have
been extremely prejudicial to our best
interests to have supported journal
filled with invective against the North
ern Pacific Railroad. Very few people
are in a position to feel the personal
animosity Mr.. Radebaugh does towards
that corporation, and they would be
very foolish to take any part of his
burden upon their shoulders.

this, it is no sense the government,

WILL WONDERS NEVER CEASE
Staid old Oregon has.at last got a
move on" and comes to the front in
grand style as New Eldorado. The
richest gold discoveries of the age are
reported in the southern part OF the
State. The new mines are in the
vicinity of the famous Willow Springs
district, notable for pay dirt since
1852. Within a radius of a mile
from the Hushberger claim, which
seems to be the pivotal point OF in
terest, no less than six rich pockets
are being worked and from $50 TO
800 per day to the man is reported TO
be taken out. One ledge is said to
contain pay streaks showing. pieces
of gold as large as peas. The
main body is of free milling rock that
will run 5000 to the ton. Soil from
surface of lodges is filled with coarse
gold. AS consequence of these re-
ports, prospectors are rushing in from
all quarters, and IL very general i'm
preston prevails that there are mil
lions in it,"

The girl students of Monnett Hall
an annex to the Ohio Wesleyan Uni
versity, at Delaware, Ohio, have
caught the spirit of deviltry from their
male companions. and have engaged

ing" their companions. Their latest
exploit was to brand their freshmen

THE REPUBLICAN "HooDoo. 1T
seems almost beyond belief, but it is
nevertheless true, that a first-class
Republican luminary passed twice
through Olympia-Saturday and Mon
day-without exciting our special
wonder. 1t was no less an individual
than Whitelaw Reid, the great Repub-
lican hoodoo candidate for Vice Presi.
dent. and his family. Saturday they
passed on to visit to the Sound cities
and Monday returned from that briel
tour of inspection. 1t is significant
fact that no committee was at the
depot to greet him, no band to bear to
his ears the joyous notes of welcome
He came and was gone, as any Other
plain individual for whom the &. o. p
has no further use, while Wanna
maker, the ex-Postmaster General
travelled in another car, showing yer!
plainly that these loving brother
speak no more as they pass by.

WHAT NEXT?-A Washington dis
patch says that Watson C. Squire
Wash;ngton's only Senator, waited
upon Assistant Secretary McAdoO
Monday, and asked that the Monterey
be ordered to Seattle to fire salute
over the completion of the Great
Northern railroad. 1t does not seem
to have struck the Senator that this is
hardly proper service to ask of the
War Department, and as that vessel
will hardly be ready for service for sew
eral months, it is scarcely probable
that governmental recognition of the
Queen City will be authorized at this
time.

way OF explanation, Mr.. Calhoun adds !:
ave are in the midst OF the most
expensive part OF our work now, and
OF necessity have to make very frequent
and heavy drafts" The inference
drawn from Mr.. Calhoun's letter is
that the last $4,000 drawn would
cover all the expense Of getting the
exhibits in place. At the time the
draft was made there were $50, 200 to
the credit of the commission, thus
leaving $4,000 with which to pay
salaries and incidental expenses until
the close of the exposition. There is
no resource to which the commission
can turn after this fund has been ex-
haustcd. The managers can neither
borrow nor issue certificates of indebt-
edness, so they will be compelled to
conduct future operations upon very
economical basis in order to make the
remaining $4,000 last until the great
show comes to an end.

CoLFAx LOSES HEAVILY BY FIRE
A fire at Colfax, Saturday morning,
resulted in loss of 500, COO worth of
property, only half OF which was COW
cred by insurance. The fire originated
in the Baldwin hotel, and rapidly
spread to the structures in that prox-
unity. Five saloons, bakery, bar
bershOp, II harness shop, Il restaurant,
a shoe store, Il drug store and mil
linery store, and the building OF Mitch
ell, Lewis & Staver were the principal
losses. The city water supply was I'M
available, not pound Of pressure be-
ing on. This was because the reser-
voir has not been completed, and the
pipes have been used the past winter
merely to convey water for domestic
purposes by private contract.

peasants tried novel expedient a few

on the track, hoping thereby to compel
attention to their demands. A con-
fiict ensued and AZ peasants and IL
soldiers were killed in the fight or

Professional Estimate OF a Bargain.

An announcement of the early ap-
pearance OF the great violinist Remen-
vi at Olympia Theater, has caused
"reminiscences Of his trip to this coast,
many years ago, to be revived.
Robt. Frost tells a good story, in
that connection, on his friend Billy"
Maydenbauer, OF Seattle. While in
that city, Remenyi was, of course, a
veritable musical lion, and all anna
teurs, sought opportunity to converse
with the great master. Mr.. NJ. Lad a
we'll known penchant for violins and
the very common desire of all lovers
of the instrument to own one of the
old cremonas whose very wood seems
welded to notes of harmony. "You
sometimes find great bargains in vio-
Inns, Mr.. Remenyi, in your extensive
travels, do you not" inquired Mr.. NJ.
"Oh, yes" was the reply" quite often ;
and sometimes they can be bought for
small part of their real value"
"Well, then, you have it in your
power to do me great favor" said
Mr.. NJ, "and that is when you find
such bargain you purchase an instru.
ment for me-" Willingly" responded
the great virtuoso, and he passed on
and the incident was quite forgotten
by Mr.. Maydenbauer. A year or more
afterwards an express package came
to Seattle addressed to that gentleman
with collection of $500. and a shor,
note of cOngratulation from Remeny
that he had been enabled to secure
just the violin needed by Mr.. NJ, and
at the marvelously low price named
in the bill which accompanied it
Billy was nonplused. The thirty OF
forty dollars he had considered as The
maximum price for such "bargain.
was exceeded many times by the de
mand of the remorseless express com
pany. "What did he do, Bob?" asked
the eager listeners to this story. EDO
Why he paid it, like man." said Bob
"but he took good care to caution hi
friends to keep the purchase price
from his wife, for said he, if sh'
should ever ascertain that l had pait
such an exorbitant price for fiddle
there would have to be new carpe
on every floor in the house, to even NJ
