The warde-J James Season.

The coming engagement of Frederick
Warde and Louis James at the Seattle is
anticipated with pleasure by all lovers of
Shakespeare and admirers of the legi,i-
mate drama Aside from the ail-imporiant
considerations Of the artistic ability and
enyisbie regulations both talented artists
at the head OF the company possess. and
the fact that they are supported by a we'll
balanced and generally efficient company,
the superiority OF their productions from
scenic and spectacular view has COM
manded the admiration of the most exact
Ing critics wherever they have presented
their magnificent repertoire. No finer or
more elaborate stage pictures have been
presented by American managers. and
seldom have the students of Shakespeare
received more valuable lessons in eiocu-
tionary and dramatic art than are pre-
scented by the combination of tragedians
whose resppearsnce takes place ut the
Seattle Wednesday night, May .. Messrs.
Wsrde and James have always been prime
fayoriies on this Coast. and il 10 fair 10
suppose that the substantial recognition
received during their last engagement a,
the Seattle will be repeated on this occa-
sion The magnificent repertoire of the
company will be presented in the routine
found most desirable.

THEE CANoErsrs DUcKEp.
Adventurous Spisits Pay Well For Spof
on Lake Washfaxto3-

Lake washinxton-
During the heavy wind yesterday after
noon three adventurous csnoeists we're
espsized IN Lake Washington. and one Of
them. Robert Engeibrecht, had narrow
escape from drowning. The strong west
wind msce the wave. on the lake toss
around in al orainous manner. yet the
canoeisss thought Their would try TO see
what could be done for q little sport.
Herman Chaplin was the frs. 10 iry the
experiment and after going sOoor 80 yards
froa the Canoe Cub house he was salts
led that il was good judgment % get
back On shore. Then B. Pelly came TO the
conclusion thar he would see how near
ne could come TO getting = duck
ing and escape it His caicuia-
tons got tangled up with cross
currents. for when ne was about 200 yards
from the boat house a sudden gust OF wind
played havoc with the sail of the irsii
craft and over went the boat, doasing
PegIy in the cold waves. boat went on,
from Bartle.t's boat house and brought
him In. vet as 4 drowned rat, get smiling
In some manner the idea possessed
George Atkinson that ne could sail againsi
the treacherous wind, 50 GU, he went. only
same manner as Pel!y. By this time, En-
gelbrecht, who is quite an ex-
pert With canoe, concluded shat
he could handle the craft that Chaplin
had given up. The sail was hoisted AMI
he shot forth upon the foaming waves
like race horse. The canoe fairly darted
through the water. and before the people
on the shore could hardly realize v hat hal
two miles from shore. Then sud
denly the sail Hoped. and
to those experienced in acquaiic
sports it was plain that Engelbrechs haf
been eapsized. James Weed. who was
watching Engelbrech, with glass. saw
him get astrlde of the canoe AMI hang on
for dea- life. Fortunately at the
time of the accident the steamer
Juanisa was on her way from Yesler ave-
nue. to the Madison street dock. Her
captain saw the periious situation IL
which Engeibrecht was placed, and i'm me-
diately turned the steamer out into the
lake 10 the rescue. Fully half hour
passed between the time Engeibrecht was
thrown into the water and when the
steamer came up TO him and he vas
hauled on board with rope.
Any one who is acquainted with Lake
Washington and It's waters can realize the
hardship endured By the unfortunate
canoeist in sitting in the water and
exposed to the blast. of west wind
for half hour. From his wals
down he Was numb and so thoroughly
chilled in his body that /, would not have
required many minutes more TO hav,
proved fatal. The Juanita landed Engel-
brecht at Bsrtlett's hoathouse, after which
he was cared for temporarily at /. b.

INCOME TAX COST.
Estimates to Carry Out the Law Have Been
Completed.

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE appro-
priation committee received yesterday
afternoon from the treasury the esti-
mates required to carry the income tax
provision of the tariff bill into effect
for the remainder of the present fiscal
year, beginning January 1, 1895. The
estimates for the collection of the tax
until July 1, 1895. aggregate S245, O95,
and include provisions for one Stats
tican. $500; an additional head
of division. $500; six clerks at
81, 400; eight clerks at $1,000: seven
clerks at 81 900; one messenger at 1920;
salaries and expenses of 303 additional
deputy collectors, S211.sOO: salaries
and expenses of ten additional revenue
agents. $4,000. The appropriation to
provide for the collection of the tax
will be Incorporated in an urgency de-
ficiency bill, the consideration of which
will be ready Monday, and
will be Immediately passed. The
bill will probably precipitate
the first general political Skin
mish of the session. The eastern MEM
bers irrespective of party. will. as a rule,
oppose the appropriation and the de-
bate will probably bristlc with acri-
mony. Although it is expected that
the republicans generally will vote
against the appropriation, the demo-
Gratis express themselves as entirely

Masked Robbers Go Through an Express
Car in Texas-A Big Haul of Cash.
Fort WORTH, Tex, Dec. THE east
bound Texas & Pacific passenger train
was held up at trestle : miles
west ot here at $50 yesterday after
noon. The train was stopped just as
the engineer and express car had
crossed. the passenger coaches coming
to standstill on the trestle. where the
passengers had no opportunity of get
ting out if they were so inclined, which
they were not, but busted themselves
in concealing their valua bles.
Several shots were fired from the
front end of the train and the pas
sengers were warned to keep their
heads in the windows. The train was
detained ten or fifteen minutes, during
which time those who caught a glimpse
of the proceedings on the other side of
the trestle saw three masked men with
guns leveled marching the engineer
and trainmen in and out of the bag
gage car. When they finished their
work, the robbers made the engineer
back the train over the trestle, and
while it was crossing disappeared in
thick forest.
The passengers kept so close while
the train was being robbed that they
did Tot know much about what was
going on, and the railroad men and ex-
press officials will not make any state
ments. 1t is not known how much
booty was secured. The robbers had
possession of the express car until they
accomplished their object. One valu-
able package is known to have been
obtained. The iron safe of the mes
senger was carried off. 1t is learned
from good authority that upward of
500, 600 was secured. The passengers
say the whole thing was done SO quick
ly that there was little of story to
tell

EXTENDING CIVIL SERVICE.
1t Is Thought All Government Offices VIII
Soon BE Included.

Soon BE Included.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-"Within two
years from the present, before Mr..
Cleveland retires from the presidency"
said Chairman Proctor of the civil
service commission, almost, if not all,
of the government officers Will be
under civil service regulations. The
commission will continue to urge ex-
tensions of the service, and. if
we may judge by Mr.. Cleveland
past acts, we shall have his
hearty cooperation. There have al
ready been great extensions of the
service and we hope for even greater
ones. The day of the spoils system in
American politics is over, and a
broader era in politics is opening.
Political preferment in the future will
not depend, as it has so unfortunately
in the past, upon the distribution of
patronage, but upon the care, the at
tention, the study our members of
congress will give to important
issues of the day. They will be
relieved of the disagreeable, the
tiresome, the never-ending round
of the departments in quest of subor-
dinate positions for their friends. Re.
lieved of this work, and every senator
and representative will privately well
come the relief, more attention can be
given matters which should legitimate
ly occupy the attention of members of
the houses of congress"

NET TREASURY GOLD.
The Reserve Is Gradually Nearing th
s1OO,OOO,OOO Mark.

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE cash bal
ance in the treasury yesterday was
S154, 727 .Os5, of which 500, 56O,1 was
net gold. This is loss in gold since
Wednesdays report of Sl,5S1,s 97. The
treasury officials offer no explanation
of this decrease, but the information
comes from New York that during the
last three days the sub-treasury has
several times been obliged to meet de-
mands for gold in exchange for legal
tenders. but so far as known here none
of the gold withdrawn has yet been ex-
ported. The present high rate of ster-
ling exchange ia. sS) makes it probable,
however, that before the close of the
present week considerable amounts will
be withdrawn from export to France,
where the demand just now is greater
than in England. The treasury Off
Gals decline to discuss the probability
of extensive Withdrawals. but it is be-
lieved they feel apprehensive of still
further losses.
