WAsHIseToS Cry. Feb. Especial. l.
A really pathetic letter has been received
by Postmaster General Bisscll from a lit
tie woman IN Washington. She is Mrs
Agnes russell. postmistress at Decatur, q
little Office where the revenue is small.
She writes the postmaster general that, Is
she Is obliged TO make her own living she
would be very grateful il he would give
her second or third class postmastership
somewhere in her state. She has read in
the Posr-IsTELLfGEycER that the postmas-
ter at Coifax Is an xious to DO relieved from
the duties of his Office that he may engage
in other more lucrative business, and
naively informs Mr.. Bissell that she would
be quite willing TO take that Office
and that he might let the man
60 at once. If this place can
not be had, at least some other in which
she could make aIliving. Her letter shows
that she 10 we'll educated, but her sim
plicity and innocence Of the ways Of poll
ticians is astounding even TO the postmas-
ter general. who gets some queer letters in
the course of q year. Ii Mrs. RUSSELL were
Q resident of Portland. aud could get few
good Democratic endorsements, she would
probably be given that office for the de-
partment is getting very tired of all the
applicants out there who do nothing but
smite each other under the fifth rib. while
pretending 10 the administration that al
is perfect harmony in the Democratic
ranks In Oregon.

WARRINGTON CrTY. Feb. s-lspeciaI. -
Ihere arc lot Of military reservations on
Fuget sound Of no more use TO the Fed
erai government than the fifth wheel Of a
coach, yet IL IL impossible to have one Of
them opened. A somewhat urgent pe.s-
uon, signed By Andrew Henrich and 9TH
crs. was recently presented to the secre-
tary OF war. asking tina. the military
reservation on the south side OF yashon
island be opened to settlement. The pe,i-
TONERS stated that there was nothing on
the books and records Of the local land
ONCE TO show that this reservation was
not open TO settlement, but that the off,
ciai would not accept any entries thereon,
Joseph b. Doe, assistant secretary of var.
replies to the petition that there must be
some mistake about there being no record
of the reservation in the local land
office since If there were none the officers
would not have rejected the settlers appli-
cations. The matter was referred To the
chief OF engineers. who replies that the
Importance Of this reservation as site for
Notifications TO assist in barring passage
from Admiralty inlet through the narrows
TO Puget sound has long been recognized.
and that, although the reserve is divided
into two parts by farm belonging to pri-
yate parties, 1t can still be utilized a. a
site for defensive works or for the use of
garrisons necessary to the works. The
chief Of engineers therefore recommends
that the request for the opening of the
reservation TO private entry be not granted,
and that II the decision OF the secretary OF
war.

THE NINTH WARD CoGONrsTs.
Coming to Latena From Far and Near

While the Democratic attempt TO colo

anxiety Of w. A. Snorey 10 secure recruits.
more success has attended she efforts of
the wrsckers In Lstona aud Brooklyn,
which compose the Fourth precinct OF the
Ninth ward. There are both an alderman
and delegate to elect in tina. ward, hence
the special effort put forth 10 swell the
Democratic vote there. J. NJ. Wolfe hav-
ing supervision of the work.
The formation of the colony first be-
came apparent about two months ago.
to Latona and Brooklyn, and the migra-
ton has continued ever since. until there
Is not vacant house in either place. All
the men of these families are or have teen
in the employ of the city and ell are OF
course active members Of the Ninth Ward
Democratic Club. With the opening of
February the invasion of single men be-
gan. all applying for board at either La
tona os Brooklyn until after election. They
were not particular about the accommo-
tons offered and made no secret of
the fact that they had been asked
to register and vote in tho Ninth ward.
About thirty men. all sewer lahorers, are
boarding or patching" In the Fourth pre-
cinct and all have moved in since February
l. They are scattered among the faithful,
three, four or five In each family, and one
house il said to have anywhere from eight
TO eighteen men. who sleep on the floor on
their own bedding and get their meals
where they can. The Third street electric
road is reaping harvest from them.
These men have not even moved from
other parts of the city, for over half of the
families came from outside the city and
some from outside of King county, the
only requisite being that they should reg
lister and vote the Democratic ticket. As
soon as they got settled in their new
quarters, they sent for their brothers,
brothers-in-law. cousins and friends to
work on the sewers and vote for the Dem
ocratic ticket to be nominated by their
"henefactors."
The reputable Democrats of the Ninth
ward are naturally indignant at seeing
these practices carried on in the name of
their party and their votes swamped by
those of these migratory voters. They do
not enjoy seeing strangers put to work for
the city, while property owners and tax
payers are left out in the cold. Following
are the names Of some of the colonists:

Outside Of the polling place at the cor
ner OF Third and Yealer the vote cast was
light and the contest uninteresting.
At this polling place there was
considerable excitement all day,
the Popnlists hghting hard against

other side. II was II o'clock last night
before the vote At this polling plars was
counted. Several women voted and many
OF them opposed the bonds
At Fremont there was some excitement
over the question of judges. Secretary
Whitney, of the school board, explains
TINS a. being due to the failure OF b. r.
Day and o. J. Carr, two ofthree the Judges
originally appointed, to give notice Of their
acceptance. The result was that W. J.
CoiKeit, the other judge. requested him to
swear IN A. A. Guernsey and another voter
and send them out TO act as judges. Mr..
Whitney sent A. B. Ball out with Mr..
Guernsey and il Is claimed that when they
went out there Mr.. Carr. one OF the judges
frst appointed, insisted on acting, but
was fired" out. Mr.. Day said he did not
