ELLrSsBURo. June 16.-[Speciai.l The
Populist convention TO name seven dele
gates 10 the state convention at North
Yakima on the 2sth has been in session
here all day. Although this was the only
work 10 do, the convention was yeri-
table pandemonium throughout, and
caused much amusement TO outsiders
present, especially when the members de-
bated for half an hour motion To adj
journ and loaded il down with amend
menis. In the adoption of resolutions
they adopted the majority report for the
minority and vice versa. and the report
had 20 be resubmitted. In this bunghng
manner they struggled along all day.
After a hot debate resolution that the
state should regulate the liquor business
and sell at cost was voted down. Only
one speaker had the hardihood TO
refer TO the Oregon election, and his
words fell on the convention like wet
blanket At late hour this evening,
after two-hour contest they succeeded in
choosing seven delegates. They are: J.
Masierson, II. III. Norton, J. ]. Lewis. q.
c. Charlton, John Catlin, William Won

AN ESrsErKrsrse VENTURE.
Changing the Butler Building Into Al
Elegant, Commodious Hotel.

Changing the Butler Building Into an
Elegant. Commodious Hotel.
The vast majority of the people who pass
the Butler block, on the corner OF Second
and James street, each day hardly realize
from q casual glance at the outside the
marvellous changes taking place Within
Mr.. Henry Schufeldt, the wealthy Chicago
disiiIIer and owner Of the Butler block,
has only recently left Seattle for the East,
bat before doing 30 he gave the new iessees
of the Hotel Butler, Messrs. Hamm *
Schmitz, orders not TO spare expense In
making this hotel thoroughly creditaDle
enterprise, alike TO the city aud Its owner.
Transforming large block ike the Butter
into q spacious hotel IS not the work oil
day For several weeks past seyenty-flye
skilled mechanics, including carpenters.
decorators, paper hangers. painters,
plumbers and pIasterers. have been busiiy
engaged remodeling this block into mag
nificent hosiery. The workmen in charge
of these changes are expecting TO complete
their task in q few days and put the
building in shape for occupancy, so that
the lessees may be ready to open the doors
to the public July l.
Messrs Hamm & Schmitz have always
the interest OF the travelling public and the
city in mind in their various enterprises.
Already many persons have signihed their
intention of occupying quarters at the
new hotel. The transient trade will recall
them as the accommodating proprietors OF
the Arlington hotel and the Seattle saloon.
They state that they propose conducting
the Hotel Butler in the only thoroughly
satisfactory way. towit. on the European
plan. The hotel will be handsomely fur
nished throughout and every modern con-
venience will be found there. Large. vel
ventilated rooms. lighted by electricity
furnished from the hotels own dynamos,
and the entire building heated by steam.
will all help to contribute to the comfort
of the guests.
To many persons this may seem haz-
srdous enterprise Just at the present time,
but Messrs Hamm a. Schmitz believe IN
looking forward, and not backward. 1t is
needless 10 add that the change has Gre
ated much favorable comment, highly
creditable alike to the owner and the
plucky lessees. When it is thrown open
20 the public on July l the patronage
which it will doubtless receive will justify
the prediction so often made that first
class hotel centrally located down town
would pay from the start. 1t viii be an
ornament to Seattle, and the marvellous
rapidity in making the changes indicates
that Messrs. Hamm d Schmitz-have the
necessary vim to make it a success.

THE TACOMA WATER STEAL.
Citizens Would Like to Get Out OF
Their Bad Bargain.


Their Bad Bargain.
TACOMA. June 15.-ISpecIal Residents
of the southern part of the city who do
not have 10 use the water furnished by the
city from its plant, for which the cityshas
been bonded for over 81, 80, ooo have taken
the pains to notify the board of public
works that the fiume in the vicinity OF
Bailey street has been flooded with seep-
age from the adjoining hillside. They say
the flume needs repairing badly. and in its
present condition allows the drainage
from a district traversed by cows and
goats. and containing various nuisances,
to mingle with the city's water. Thus tar
the repairs needed are reported not at
tended to.
In rejecting on the purchase of the
water plant, many of those who opposed
il. aud as many more who did not, are
joining in general discussion of some
means of repudiating the whole transac-
ton. There is talk of contesting the pay
ment of the interest on Mr.. Wright's
bonds. in order to carry the question OF
the validity of the bond issue TO the United
States supreme court. on the ground
that the state supreme court erred in cut
ting off part of the aggregate amount
voted, and approving of the balance, which
balance the voters who voted for the pur-
chase of the plant did not have in mind
when casting their ballots.
City Attorney Wickersham having re-
ported that the city had no right 10 use
the water extension money, $3.50, 900. for
any other parpose than that stipulated
when the plant was purchased. what is
lett of the extension money seems indeti-
nitely tied up, and the city is forced to
face the music aud take up with what it
purchased, viz: water plant, which may
be made TO pay interest ON 900
bonds, but intrinsically is not worth one
penny above $4,000, that being the price
placed upon it by competent engineer
before the gullible portion of the public
was interested" in the purchase.

A TRIBUTE TO HIS MEMORY.
Father Reade's Euiogium of Young
Thomas Booth.

The Church of Our Lady of Good Help
was filled yesterday afternoon with people
TO honor the memory of Thomas ]. Booth,
brother of Capt. Lawrence s. Booth, who
died after an illness of some duration.
The services were beautiful and its is sell
dom that minister or priest delivers such
a tribute to the memory of the dead as
Father Reade did over the remains of poor
young Booth. Father Reade was the in
structor of the dead boy and thus was
peculiarly fitted to speak concerning him.
He said the young man had a lovable
nature was intellectual and even in the
face of death was brave. believing that if
he must die it was for the best The
priest told in beautiful language how the
sufferer asked that after he was gone
there should be no mourning because he
would be cared for in the next world.
The easket and front pews were loaded
down with flowers. The interment took
place in Calvary cemetery
