ments for the post at Spokane.
General Schofield, commanding the
army, and General Otis, commanding the
department, favor the establishment of
the new post at Spokane. The citizens of
Walla Walla fear that this means dis
continuance of the post at the latter place.

tinuance, and no interference with Fort

BY A JUDGE.
An interesting Suit Filed in
Tacoma.
Serious Charges Made Against
Officials of the Light and
Water Company.

TACOMA, Wash, Dec. 24.-Considerabl BILE
surprise was created to-day by the filing
Of suit in equity in which John c. STALL
cup. Superior Court Judge, is plaintiff
and tie city of Tacoma defendant The
plaintiff alleges that C. B. Wright. the
Philadelphia millionaire. and the Tacoma
Light and Water Company, controlled by
him, sold the city the light and water
plant for $1,750,000 last year in conse-
quence of INSTRUMENTATION, bribery and
other corrupt inducements resulting from
conspiracy entered INFO between the
company and certain city officials, who at
that time mad the management and nego-
tiations under their control; that the
city's bonds issued in payment thereto
increase the city indebtedness beyond the
constitutional limit of 5 per cent; that the
company's water rights did not furnish TO
exceed half the amount Of water repre-
sented; that for its $l,750,000 from bonds
all the city got was some rotten
wooden fumes and other materials and
some small bits of land and the
Melwood Springs, which. all told. were of
the value not to exceed the sum of $780,
600; that Wright and the water company
are rich and fully able to reimburse any
who may have purchased of him such
light and water bonds. Wherefore plain
tiff prays that he be granted a decree
against the city perpetually enjoining
said defendant from paying any further
or additional interest upon said bonds de-
livered to said Wright and said Tacoma
Light and Water Company, and that its
agents and officers and employees be pro-
hibted from levying or attempting to levy
or collect any taxes from the taxpayers of
the city of Tacoma for the purpose of paw
ing any interest on said bonds, or taking
any steps looking thereto.
The persons bringing this suit are not
sustained or supported by the public senti-
ment of the city by any considerable num-
Der of taxpayers. A large majority of
city taxpayers declare the city's obliga-
tions will be paid as they fall due as in all
times past whatever the result of this
suit may be.

WHERE IS MADELINE ?
Search of a Theatrical Man for
Miss Pollard.
When Last Heard Of She Was i'm
New York Under an Assumed
Name.

NEW YORK. Dec. "a. Madeline Pollard
OF damage suit fame is missing. Manager
NJ. c. Anderson of the Fountain Theater,
Cincinnati, has been in New York since
Wednesday last hunting the city from
Harlem to tie Battery and from river to
river for the woman who broke the polit-
zeal power OF Colonel w. c. 2. Breckin-
ridge.
The fact that Miss Pollard has not prom
ised to be a sufficient drawine-card for
first-class houses to bill does not In the
least discourage Mr.. Anderson, who
considers that she will be an unusual
drawing-card for popular-pTice theaters
Manager Powers last summer had con-
tract with her fer her appearance upon the
stage of frSt-ciass houses. He learned
then that the scandal which clustered
about the name of Miss Pollard would
make it impossible for her TO appear at
fashionable playh0uses and the hope
which Miss Pollard then expressed to
appear in public was for time shattered.
Now Mr.. Anderson believes Mr.. Powers
made a mistake in not trying to bill her at
popular-price houses and as result of
tuat belief is exert!ng every energy TO find
her. Night and day since reaching this
city he has been on the go, but as yet has
not been a BILE 10 locate her. He is armed
with contract which, if signed by the
young woman, will call for large salary
each week.
What he is willing to pay Miss Pollard
Mr.. Anderson will not state, but he inti-
mates that it would not take her long to
make sum which would compare favor
ably with the amount which she is trying
TO collect from Colonel Breckenridge.
That Miss Pollard is in the city is certain,
but in what particular house is the mys-
terry. She is no longer known as Miss Pol
lard, 6utha changed her name to one which
suggests nothing of what her life has been.
1t was but a short time ago that she OBJ
tanned a position with large house in
this city as typewriter. When her iden-
titv was learned she was informed that her
services were no longer needed. Since then
she is said to have hidden her whereabouts
from her acquaintance.
The Cincinnati manager is confident
that he can induce Miss Pollard to sign his
contract if he can only find her.

NEW YORK. Dec. 24.-The World this

Newburg. until a vacancy shall occur in

DUPLICATING AN OLD MAN.
He Says He Killed John Hart
i'm Cold Blood
BECAUSE HE WAS To BE PAID.
Ii He Has Told the Truth lt Will
Go Hard With His
Employer.

WEAvERvILLE, Dee. 24-Charles Will
liams, the 17-year-old boy WHO is charged
with the murdeC of John Hart near Hay
Fork, has made full confession of the
crime. 1t is story which for coldblood-
edness has few equals. He duplicates an
old man. Moses Williams. with whom he
has been living, but who is no relative, as
the instigator OF the plot.
Young Williams says that Moses was to
give him six hogs. two-year-old colt, an
interest in a mining claim and 500 to
commit the deed, ana that it was also in
the bargain 10 kill Harris half-breed mis-
tress.
After Williams had enticed Har. to q
lonely place in the woods he shut him in
tue back. and believing he had killed him,
reloaded his rifle and returned to Harris
house with the inten ton of killing the
woman.
Under the pretense of wanting pan in
the yard he asked her 20 pick it up and
give it to him. While she was STOPPING
to do so he raised his gun to shoot. but the
woman turned her head and looked smil-
ingly up into his face. He said she looked
so innocent that his heart failed him.
Young Williams then went 10 the house of
Moses Williams and told him he had
killed Hart.
There seems to have been grudge OF
long standing between old Williams and
Hart. resulting over the ownership of a
mining claim. Williams, in order to get
the properly. hired young Williams to
assassinate his obnoxious neighbor.
The crime was committed on an old
trail on the 18th of Novem Der last. After
being shot and left for dead Hart regained
consciousness and in his enfeeblpd cond-
ton managed to crawl back to his home
and told who had wounded him. Hart
lived five days after being shot.
Charles Williams and bis brother Ben
were arrested for the crime. At The ex-
amin alton Ben was discharged, but Charles
was held for the murder. His confine-
ment in the Jail soon turned his bravado
spirit TO one of remorse, and fear for the
ghost of old John Hart was always with
him. The officers too were working him
for a confession. Finally he could stand
the torture of his conscience no longer and
came ont with the whole story. Sheriff
Bowie went out to Moses Williams house
at Hyampom and arrested him.
In the Justice Court during young
Williams recital of the crime, which he
told In a cool, deliberate way, old
Williams sat looking On. At some tragic
part of it. in which he figured prominently,
the old man would turn to the spectators
and with forced laugh OF contempt on
his thin and pinched face tried to make
light OF the matter and work upon their
sympathies.
Young Williams testimony on cross
examination could not be broken and the
boy no doubt has told the truth.

ing the sundry civil bill. Director Wolcott
of the Geological Survey and Commits
sioner Lamoreaux of the General Land
Office were before the committee explain
ing the estimates for their respective
bureaus and were questioned by the con-
mittee as to the ACCESSIBILITY of reducing
expenditures. Both maintained that the
estimates were as low as they thought
iudicious. They were also asked as to the
recommendations that the surveying of
public lands be made, under discretion of
the Secretary, by the Geological Survey
instead of bv the contract system through
the SurveyOr-Generals of the different
States. This should be discussed by Sec
rotary Smith with both these officers be-
fore the recommendations were made and
they were in favor of the change. They
so assured the committee to-day.
Assistant Secretary Hamlin Of the
Treasury Department also appeared
before the committee and urged that full
appropriations be made for carrying out
the Chinese exclusion act and that pro-
vision be made for all estimates for
Alaska, especially as to the United States
customs.
Mr.. Hamlin last summer visited the
Pacific Coast and Alaska as we'll, and was
asked to give the committee assurance that
the estimates made by the treasury were
absolutely necessary for Chinese ex-
cIusion and that the revenue would be in
creased by the better service asked for in
Alaska. 1t is the intention of the sub
committee to have the sundry civil bill
