New YORK, Oct. IA special from
Washington says: The United States

Germany and Russia, to join it in a
friendly intervention in the war between
China and Japan. The invitation will be
declined. The declination is based on
the time-honored policy of this Govern
ment to avoid any entangling alliances
with foreign powers.
Acknowledgment is made of the truth
in what the invitation has to say about
the desirability of the restoration of
peace, etc.. but in the polite language of

This, he said, was merely the begin ming

A RUNAWAY SCHOONER.
Out on the Atlantic With Full Cargo,
- but Not q soul Aboard.

HALIFAX IN. S., Oct. 12.-With all
sails set and with full cargo, but with
not soul on board, schooner ran away
to sea during the severe storm which has
been raging along the coast for the past
two days. eluded pursuit by another YES
sci all day and disappeared in the gloom
at nightfall. still plowing an independent
course, under full headway, without any
guiding hand at the tiller or any human
agency to control her movements.
Somewhere out on the Atlantic the
truant vessel is probably sailing on mer-
rily yet, with all her canvas spread, a
rich prize for the lucky skipper who may
overhaul her and the promising subject
for the fanciful pen of some future Clark
Russell. The runaway is the schooner
Lord Eden, whose commanding officer,
before she took to navigating on her own
account, was Captain Harley. He started
from here for Guysborough on the vessel
with a full crew.
When the Lord Eden was off Canso
Tuesday strong gale was blowing and a
nasty sea surging. The Canso neigh bor-
hood is dangerous one for sailing craft
under even most favorable conditions,
hidden rocks abounding. On one of
these the Elden was driven. The weather
was thickening every minute and the
vessel hard and fast upon the rock, as it
seemed. Captain Harley deemed it pru-
dent to seek place of greater safety for
himself and crew and they put off hur-
riedly, leaving the Eden with all sails
set. Not long after their departure the
wind shifted and under the freshening
breeze the vessel was twisted off her rest
ing place. She evidently had not, as her
Captain had feared. received serious dam
age below the water-line. She at once
turned her back eastward and began to
slash along at a racing gait.
The schooner Diamond gave chase.
Mile after mile the race was kept up,
with the crewless Elden always in the
lead. Once the Diamond drew near
enough for her men 70 have boarded the
runaway, but the sea was so high that
the Diamonds bow was smashed in get
ting it over the side. Still the chase was
continued in the hope that the sea would
subside and enable the Diamond to come
alongside. The hope was not realized,
and darkness came on and the Elden dis
appeared. When last seen, she was
headed out in the Atlantic.

SEATTLE, Oct. 12.-John Collins, the
leader of the King County Democracy,
and proprietor of the Seattle Telegraph,
to-day filed petition to the Police Com
mission making charges against Chief of
Police Bolton Rogers, and asking for a
hearing and the removal of the Chief.
The charges are in substance that when
Rogers was Chief from April, 1891, to
March, 1882 he gave gamblers immunity
from arrest on payment to him OF a
percentage of their winnings; that he
furnished John w. Considine. the Demo-
cratic First Ward leader, with capital to
start ambling house, and shared in its
winnings; that this depleted the revenues
of the city by cutting of the fines and
licenses; that during his present term
Rogers has driven prostitutes out of one
quarter of the city and compelled them TO
move into the Clancy 81 Munro building;
that on September 1st be interfered with
the Republican primary election in the
First Ward. The charges were made in
general terms in the Telegraph some
months ago, and were then made
the basis of criminal libel against its
editor, G. II. Lugrin, by Rogers. The
Superior Court dismissed the case a few
days ago because the word daily" was
inserted in tue complaint in the name Of
the paper.

to be necessity of cheapening in some
way the cost OF transportation. One
of the large items is the multiplicity
of agents of each company looking
after each separate interest. There
fore it is proposed to have an office for all
the companies, each company doing its
