brought down these streams in canoes, as
affording the most convenient means Of
transportation. These bottom farms have
this year produced about the only success
ful crops in this county. The extreme
drouth has destroyed crops in other parts
Of the county. and heavy frosts coming
every month during the summer have de-
stroyed nearly everything on the prairie

number of exhibitors was necessarily
small. Premiums-blue and red ribbons
only-were awarded on vegeta bIes and
farm products by NJ V. r. Lamoreux.

London, Oct IA special dispatch 10
the Daily News from Berlin says: The
emperor's aid-de-camp. Lieut. Col Count
Moltke handed 10 the ezar at St Peters
burg yesterday an autograph letter from
Emperor William. The Molthe mission
seems 10 be sequel TO the negotiations
opened by Chancellor Hohenlohe. and has
come as complete surprise 10 everybody
Although the contents OF the letter are
unknown, the sending Of IL is regarded as
an ACT OF great political Importance. II
viii be remembered that dispatches TO the
Associated Press chronicled the visit OF
the German chancellor, Prince Hohen-
lobe, to St. Petersburg on September "A.
1t was maintained at that time in official
circles in Germany that the chancellor
visit 10 St Petersburg was in regard 10 an
estate in Russia held by his wife, which.
under the Russian law, he could not as
German subject hold without special per
mission OF the czar, 10 obtain which, II
was said, was TO be- the object of his visit.
Upon his return TO Berlin it was stated
that ne had succeeded in this object.
This, however. did not quiet persistent
rumors that Chancellor Hohealohe was
entrusted with mission from the emper-
or more nearly involving the interests OF
the two empires. This, it was said. was 10
confer with Prince Lohanof, Russian
minister of foreign affairs, with regard TO
the Russo-GeFman entente in the event OF
further troubles in the far East and to
effect general understanding on the po-
utical situation. Adyices to the ASSoclat-
ed Press from Berlin have been TO the eff
feet that the German chancellor was
measurably successful also in this more
important official mission TO ST. Peters
burg. The dispatch OF the letter mention
ed in the above dispatch confirms the view
that Prince Hohenlohe's visit was con-
cerned in important matters Of state be-
tween the two empires.

THE MANIA FOR TITLE.
Henry Labouchere on the Folly of Rich

menting upon the engagement of the Duke
OF Marlborough and Miss Vanderbilt:
British mammas and their daughters
will soon be clamoring for protection If all
the prizes in the marriage market are 10
fall TO the American damsels. The mania
for title inherent in the Anglo-SaXon is
vain to contend against. But the matter
is somewhat serious TO the United States.
That country must be a great loser
through the accumulation of It's wealth
crossing the ocean, and the United States
win do well to manufacture the coveted
title at home. for it is a wooden nutmeg
that is easily bought. The existence OF
titles. il is true, is not in accordance with
the simplicity of republican institutions,
but in view of the heavy drain this might
be overlooked, and the parents of any girl
might be allowed TO buy her a title for
100000. The public treasury would be
filled with dollars, and the girl would re-
main at home. There would still be diff
ficulty of finding husbands in the home
market. for the Americans are as strong
~ opposed TO becoming rich through their
ladies as the British noblemen are in fav-
or OF this mode of enrichment"

Express Officials Arrive and Are WILL

The three express companies, the North

ion, are each represented in the city by
superintendent, assistant superintendent
and travelling auditor, respectively. all
having arrived yesterday. the cause being
the differences between the Seattle nsh
shippers and the two companies first
named.
O. j. Willard. travelling auditor for the
Dominion Express Company. who is at
the Hotel Northern. denied that he came
here expressly for the purpose of seeing
the shippers. and stated that he regretted
that he had come at all, as his company
can do nothing for them in the present
instance. You can say that knew moth
ing at all about the question. said Mr.
Willard. II did meet the fish dealers this
evening and / told them the situation.

NJ. c. Hall, superintendent of the North

and l. T.. Atherton, assistant supeTintend-
ent of the Great Northern Express Com
pany with headquarters at Spokane, have
both arrived in the city. and at the Raj
nier-Grand hotel last evening stated that
they would meet the shippers today. with
fair prospects of a settlement. Both gen.
tlemen recognize the importance OF the
traffic and want to see things running
smoothly again. Mr.. Atherton feels es-
pecially lenient toward the alleged Of
tenders Against any attempt by either
company to compel the shippers to pay in
fines the amounts which ii is claimed the
companies have been defrauded of, 1t is
understood there will be violent opposition.
The companies have already examined
the books of two dealers and found them
to be all right, but others have refused TO
allow the examinations, and in these cases
the comnanies have offered 10 resume the
old relations, except that from each bond
of 800 will be required. This the shippers
in question agree 10. except that they de-
mand that the bond be required of every
shipper on the Sound, books or no books.
