LAKE CANAL QUESTION.
Offer Of Funds 20 Dig 1t by the Brewing
and Mailing Company.

Offer Of Funds 10 Dig 1t by the Brewing
and Mailing Company.
SEATTLE, WAsH.--The Lake Washing
ton canal matter again came up for dis
cussion before the Chamber OF Commerce
at its meeting recently, and the offer
made by the Seattle Brewing and Malt
ing Company to give $4,000 in thirty
monthly installments toward the work
was discussed at some length. Some of
the members were in favor OF widening
the present canal for the purpose OF low
ering the lake, thinking that this was
hardly the time to build ship canal.
The offer was made for a ship canal only,
however, and others thought the work
could be accomplished by home capital.
The matter was referred to the permanent
Lake Washington canal committee, con-
sisting of ID. II. Gilman, S. l.. Crawford,
A. r. Mitten, George II. Heilbron and
G. d. Stimson, with request that they
investigate and report promptly.

THE INDUsTRIALs.
Careful Estimate Of the Different Bands
of Coxeyites ON the Way.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Representative
Davis and III. E. Taubeneck have been
making careful estimate of the differ
ent bands of Coxeyites on the way to
Washington City, and claim that there
are 5000 men tramping or riding on
boats and borrowed trains toward the
capital Mr.. Davis does not believe in
the wisdom or efficiency of the move
ment, and has written magazine arti-
Gle in which he points out that the move
ment is result of currency contraction
and summarized it as " organized want" !"
II the government should yield to Cox
ey's demands, other armies would march
on the capital with other demands, and
the result would be government by the
multitude. The remedy for the present
state of business he finds in the ballot,
which he defines as recorded opinion.
"No Coxeyites have come from Kansas, +"
he said in a conversation on the subject,
because Kansas has expressed herself
properly by her elections, and Nebraska,
which is largely Populist State, has
contributed no more than seventy-five
men," By imprisoning the leaders, he
says, the authorities have made swan
out of goose. The chief danger from
the movement, he thinks, will develop
next fall, when the weather becomes too
cold for men to camp outdoors. Then
he looks for trouble.

Oregon.

The party that recently went to the
Bohemia mines country to search for
the bodies of the two men who persisted
in that vicinity few months since has
been unable to find them, and intend
returning, 1t is now the opinion that
the bodies will not be recovered before
the last of June, as the snow still lies on
the ground from ten to twenty-five feet
in depth.
The Linn County National Bank,
through the receiver, II. NJ. Beall, has
brought an injunction suit against the
city Of Albany to restrain the city gov
ernment from paying the city warrants.
1t is alleged that the city has been pay
ing the policemen cash for city warrants
of recent issue, and that the old war
rants, some of which are held by the
bank, have not been paid. 1t will prob
ably be made test case.
During the past few days there has
been marked improvement in the run
of salmon, and the average catch per
boat is much above the average at this
season of the year. This fact may be
due to the comparatively long spell Of
warm weather which has prevailed for q
month past, or possibly the long-ex-
pected four-year run has materialized.
The fishermen and others interested in
the canning business are not, however,
particular as to the cause OF the plenti-
ful supply, and are happy in the knowl-
edge that all the boats are doing well.
Four of Hapgood's men the other day
caught exactly 1000 pounds of fish, or
an average OF about twenty each, and
many other hauls equally large are re-
ported.
Considerable excitement has been
caused in the vicinity of Medford during
the past few days by the result of a partial
cleanup OF the Miller placer mine, situ-
ated about five miles west OF that city.
This mine was recently purchased by
Portland parties, and between $l2, 900
and $13, 600 has been taken out as the
result of the past winters run. A par
tial cleanup of the Sturgis mine, about
twelve miles from this city, which was
finished last week, produced 0,000 in
yellow metal for its owners. These mines
are considered two of the best placer
mines in Southern Oregon, and the re-
suit OF the cleanup of both has been
watched with interest by mining men
all over the State. The Miller mine COM
prises 240 acres, all OF which is consid-
cred as good as that worked in the past,
only two acres OF which has been touched
during the last eight years. The mine
has been run with only one giant, and
the present company is making arrange
ments to put in two more giants, as there
is plenty Of water to run that number
during the winter season.

BATTLE WITH OUTLAWS.
Two Members Of the Dalton Gang Taken
by Surprise.

Ell RENO, o. 1.-Two men supposed
to be members of the Dalton gang, OF
train robbers passed through FL Reno
the other day, travelling eastward. The
Sheriff telegraphed to the little town OF
Yukon to intercept and arrest them. A
posse quickly organized, and when the
train robbers made their appearance
they were attacked. The defense was
quite as hot as the attack, and a running
fight ensued. One man, Mr.. Parrish,
was shot in the groin. The bullet passed
entirely through him. He is not ex-
pected to live. An old man named Nell
son was shot in the forehead, but not
dangerously. A number of other per-
sons were wounded more or less severely
during the skirmish, among them man
named Snyder, who was shot in the face
and will die. One of the robbers was
shot and captured, but resisted to the
last, and several of his captors bear cuts
and bruises on the head, which he made
with his six-shooter. The other robber
escaped, but is supposed to have been
hit two or three times, one bullet taking
away portion of his lip and one strik-
ing him in the head. The one captured
is not known here.

San Francisco Will Gain u Park IL the
Movements Succeed.
SAN Francisco, GAIA big mass
meeting was held here, at which citizens
demanded that the Southern Pacific
Company, which controls most OF the
street railways in the city, grant q
5-cent fare from the ferries TO the ocean.
Adolph Sutro, the millionaire philan-
thropist who is said to own one-tenth OF
the entire area OF San Francisco, has
offered to give his famous Sutro Heights
property overlooking the ocean for q
public park, provided the fare TO the
beach is reduced from 10 to 5 cents.
Sutro values the property at 81, 600, 900.
The meeting adopted long resolutions
relative to the bill now pending in Con-
gress to refund the Southern Pacific rail-
road debts, making these obligations
payable in 100 years, with interest at
per cent. The preamble declares that
such legislation would rob the people of
the United States and practically
amount to q gift OF $4,000, 600 to the
Central Pacific Railway Company; that
under the laws OF California the individ-
ual stockholders are personally liable.

The Loss at williamsport.

WLLrAMsPoRT, PA.-The total losses
here as estimated by conservative men
are $3,0OO,000. This includes 81 500, 900
on logs, $3.50, 900 ON sawed lumber and
the balance on property throughout the
city. Mayor Elliott has called public
meeting to take action looking to the
care OF the homeless. Probably fifty
houses along the water front were rem
dered uninhabitable, and the families
are being cared for by the more fortu-
nate. 1t is estimated that the homes Of
10000 people were invaded by the water
and are in such a damp and unhealthful
condition as to make them undesirable.
Those who lived above the flood line are
not allowing the unfortunates TO suffer.
There is an ample supply of provisions,
and the city is not in want.

nounce the present system of national
banks as the monumental monopoly of
the nineteenth century; recommend the
enactment OF a system OF currency that
will insure per capita circulation of $50

tary OF the Treasury to coin the bullion
now in the treasury and to pay interest
on the public debt with silver, and de-
mand the issue of $3.50, ,0OO, 900 of non

much comment Regarding the Attitude
OF Tacoma Superintendent Of Schools
In Selecting Teachers.
TACOMA, WASH There has been much
comment Of late regarding the attitude
OF School Superintendent James in re.
Letting teachers. Some OF those inter-
ested believe Mr.. James is too fond OF
young and inexperienced women teach
ers. The principals also have q griev-
ance. They seem to think Mr.. James
does not consult them sufficiently in
making selections OF teachers and in
carrying out the school work. They held
meeting recently and notified the Su-
perintendent OF their views, and he 10
understood to have replied that he had
not intended to act without their advice.
There is no doubt about the existence OF
dissatisfaction among interested persons
as regards the present school manage
ment. The opposition to the removal OF
Superintendent Gault still asserts itself,
and Gauit's friends feel that the high
standard Of Tacoma public schools ex-
isting at the time OF his resignation is
not now being kept up. The principals
objections are being considered by the
School Board. They oppose further re-
ductions in the salary Of grade teachers
on the statement that the Seattle prin-
cipals will do it, which statement they
say is erroneous. They oppose the al
legged interference OF Superintendent
James in school work. When this mat
ter takes form before the public it will
create lively discussion. In order TO
secure change OF policy an increase OF
