Death Of Gov. Laughton.

The many friends Of ex-Gov. c. E.
Laughton were inexpressibly shocked
Saturday night, on receipt of n dis
patch announcing his sudden death,
in the rooms of the Bohemian Club,
at Tacoma. He had arrived q week
before from this city, where he had
been during the session of the Legisla-
ture. He became i'll on Tuesday, the
18th inst, and his son Ray WAS called
to his bedside by telegram. At $40
Saturday evening he felt better and
was moved to the parlor of the club.
Ten minutes later he complained of
the room being too warm, and his son
Ray went to open q window, when he
exclaimed "Oh, my God!" and sank
down in the chair. Ray Immediately
applied damp cloths to his head and
rang for assistance, but before a doc
tor could be summoned his spirit had
lied. The cause OF death was heart
failure caused by kidney trouble, and
tape-worm, of which he had been
relieved the day before.
Mr.. Laughton was native of Ban
gor, Maine, and 40 years of age. In
1882 he was elected Lieutenant-Gov.
ernor Of Nevada, and in 1889 he was
elected to the same Office in this
State, and served as its executive dur
ing the temporary absence of Gov.
Ferry in California, in 1901. He
was an Elk, a Mason and Mystic
Sinner, besides being an call around

China Sues for Peace.

Viceroy Ii Hung Chung, accom-
panied by John w. Foster. American
advisor for China, arrived in Japan
on a mission Of peace and had con-
ference with the Japanese minister OF
Foreign Affairs Tuesday. The terms
OF peace are understood and the duty
OF the representatives is simply to ar.
range the details to carry them into
execution. China is to cedc territory,
pay cash indemnity, grant the indie
pendenee OF Cora and agree to q new
treaty in which Japan's extra-territo-
rial jurisdiction in China shall be
recognized. If there is no hitch in
arranging these matters, we may ex.
peet speedy removal of the Spanish
bull from the China-shop where he
has created such havoc.

AT the opening of the late Legis-
lative session a resolution was adopted
authorizing the purchase of codes for
use of members, in which it was ex-
pressly stated that these volumes
should remain the property of the
State and be returned to the proper
officer at the close of the session.
But alas! for human resolves and
common honesty. At the close, each
member, it is said with but two ex-
ceptions, packed up the States codes
with his newly ordered stationery
and official bricabac, and took them
home with him! 1t is said that some
of the members seriously considered
the removal of their chairs and desks,
but as the freight rates were quite
high from failure of the freight-bill,
and their passes only included what
might be classified az baggage, they
were reluctantly abandoned.

the "late lamented" House of Repre-

made by Baker OF Pierce county, a

WASHINGTON, March Is, 1885.


President Cleveland returned to
Washington, and Secretary Gresham
resumed his duties after ten days
sickness, just in time to give Spain a
lesson in international courtesy, by
forcing her to her knees as an apollo
gist for the action of the commander
of Spanish cruiser who didn't have
any better sense than to fire on a
United States mail steamer in the
open sea, en- route from Colon to New
York, merely because he had sus-
picion that there might be supplies
for those engaged in the Cuban
revolt on that steamer. Senior
Muruaga, the Spanish Minister, tried
to get his country let down easy by
Fastening to the Department of State
ahead of the official notification that
the flag of the United States had been
fired upon. and saying that Spain
would apologize if any otfiense or indis.
cretion had been committed by the
commander of the Spanish cruiser.
That minister is smart. He hasn't
forgot the last time Spain had to go
down on her marrow-bones and in adj
dition to give up good Spanish gold
for her failure to pay proper respect
to that same United States flag.
Attorney General Olney may or may
not be personally opposed to an in
come tax, but if he is opposed it is
certainly not upon constitutional
grounds, or he could not have made
the great and mastery argument he
did this week, before the Supreme
Court, in favor of the constitutional
right of Congress to impose an in
come tax. Mr.. Olney is no orator, in
the popular conception of the word,
but there was a confidence in the tone
in which he talked in plain, matter
OF fact, straight-forward-yay to the
court, showing that q decision against
the constitutionality of the income
tax would reverse no less than five
previous decisions OF the Supreme

How TAXES ARE TO he PAIp.-Un-
der the new law assessments will only
be made on alternate years-the value
to be estimated on the lst day OF April
of the odd-numbered years. The penal
ty for delinquency in payment OF taxes
is reduced to two per cent. and the in.
terest is placed at - per cent. per an
mum, with the proviso that if one-half
the tax be paid on the 3lst day OF
May, than the remaining half may be
paid on November 30th following, but
if said remaining one-half is not paid
on or before that date, then such bal
ance shall be subject to penalty and
interest from the 31st day OF May pre-
ceding until paid. The delinquent
taxes of 1892 and 1898 may be paid
on or before July LIST, 1895, with =
rebate of penalty and interest, which
amounts to As per cent. of taxes of 90
and % per cent. on those of the sue

REPORTS from Alaska as a land OF
promise are not cheering. Mr.. Lob
man, a resident of Tacoma, who has
just returned from Juneau, says that
he saw enough in his three days stay
to convince him that Alaska is nc
place for merchants and tradesmen
Juneau is full of idle men, with nc
prospect OF work till the mines open
in spring, and then but few will be
able to find steady employment. Rents
are high and commodities low. Flour
sells for 45 and so cents per sack, anC
other goods in proportion. These low
prices are the result OF over.stockinl
and consequent competition. Mr.
Lohmsn thinks Alaska is the mos
inhospitable country he has ever Wis
tied.
