THE PUGET SOUND FLYER.
Little steamer winch Has Made the
Biggest Sort of Record

a Little steamer winch Has Made the
biggest Sort of Record
From the New York sun.
The Flyer is the name of little steamer
| that makes four daily trips on Puget
| sound between Seattle and Tacoma, In
1894 the Flyer made the record of travel.
ing 6S,69j miles between these two cities.
This is said to be the largest record ever
made by any river or sound steamer.
Moreover, the total loss of time for the
year was only 43 minutes. There was con-
siderable fog and smoke over Puget
sound at times during the year, but the
Flyer went sailing right through and es-
tablished the name of always being on
time, come what might.
The distance between Seattle and Ia
coma by water is 271s miles; by land it is
about 40 The flyer is run III competition
with the through trains, and practically
makes the same time, so that it is a more
popular means of travel than the cars.
The round trip of As miles between the
two cities is covered in three hours. and
the four trips day make the total dis
tance travelled daily 220 miles. a greater
distance than any steamer in the east. or
probably anywhere else, travels in "a
hours. The distance travelled by the Fall
River boats each day is 1Sl miles. That
covered by the Troy boats is less. of
course, as is the distance covered by any
of the Sound craft. The Sandy Hook
boats go about 160 miles a day. The total
distance covered by the Cape May excur-
sion boats from Philadelphia in the sum-
mer time is about $50 miles, SO that the
Flyers achievement of 30 is probably un-
rivaled.
The Flyer is very trim little craft. She
is screw boat 200 feet long, and runs SO
smoothly at her high speed that scarcely
a vibration of the hull can be noticed.
She also makes very little disturbance in
the water. There is almost no bow wave,
and the wake is hardly greater than that
of river tug. The passengers, however.
can see that the craft is going very fast.
Her machinery was made on the Della
ware, and was rigged by experts from the
East. There is probably not another ves-
sci in salt or fresh water that can show
such a record, not only of fast speed but
of continuous work.

GOOD MAN GONE WRONG
Rev. Mr.. Reid Takes 10 Bank Rob-
b.ns.
HE FELL DOWN BADLY
While He Was RakInR In the Stuff a
Man With a shotgun Came
Upon the Scene and
Gathered Him In.

| PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. 6.-Shortly after
noon to-day man entered the First
National bank of East Portland and, pre-

| L. Holgate, who was alone in tho bank,
| TO throw up his hands. The cashier COM
Piled and the man then bound and gagged
him, after which he started TO empty the
coin trays into a sack.
AT this juncture the cashier of the Citi-
zens' bank, across the street, who saw the
affair, rushed in with a shot gun and ar
rested the robber who was then turned
over to the police.
The thief was identified as Rev. j. c.
Reid, Baptist minister. Reid came into
notoriety few months ago by disappear.
ing after leaving his clothes on the river
bank to give the impression that he had
been drowned. He afterwards turned up
in Illinois, where he claimed to be suffer-
ing from mental trouble. When Reid
entered the bank he wore a long false
beard, but in the scuffie it was pulled off,
revealing his identity.
After his arrest, Reid said he had moth
ing to conceal and he claims desperation
drove him to the commission of the crime.

fitting feature of the Gettysburg ma.
tional park bill is the provision for the
erection upon that heroic battlefield of a
bronze tablet bearing a medallion likeness
of Abraham Lincoln and the address
which he delivered at the dedication of
the national cemetery on Nov. 10. 1853.
That address was worthy of the field. Ii
was sudden flash of inspiration, struck
like spark from the battlefields of the
war. 1t summed up in its terse, vascular
sentences, like the heart throbs of the
people. the faith, the aspiration of the ma.
tion. 1t matters not that its most famous
phrase was borrowing. That PASSAGE
was jewel not until then placed IN its
right setting. II has become for ali Amer

sad and sorrowing L. the Woman Who
Bears His BIightcd Name.
From the Chicago Post.
Back in dark corner behind the mes.
senger's desk, near the door of a cabinet
minister's official quarters, sat a yelled
| woman the other day. The spectacle was
not unusual; indeed, it is very common
| Tor women TO thus wait for a chance TO
| gain audience with these great people.
But there was SON ething so pathetically
shrinking in this ones attitude, and such
an evident desire to escape attention,
mat more than one OF the passing stream
OF men stopped to look searchingly at the
soberly draped figure. In little whie a
snowy-haired man, with white beard and
patriarchal appearance, emerged from
the minister's rooms. The woman silently
arose, took his proffered arm. and the
pair moved away without a word. The
scene was repeated at another office. the
woman remaining outside while her COM
panion went in to transact whatever busi-
ness he might have had.
Inquiry elected the information that
this couple made daily visits to one or
more of the departments and that the
woman invariably shrank into an obscure
seat in the corridors, while her escort
made his call. She persistently refused
all invitations to go with him into any of
the offices.
The man was Colonel Breckinridge, the
disgraced Kentucky congressman, and
the woman his wife. The two are almost
isolated, and il is clear that Mrs. Breck-
inridge feels her position keenly. The
women of Washington have set their
faces stonily against Breckenridge and his
belongings and have made existence for
him n social hell. They have carried their
resentment SO far that the couple have
virtually ceased all a ttempts to establish
friendly relations in the capital and have
drawn within themselves. They live as
much alone as though they were the only
Inhabitants of a desert island. Many of
the other occupa nts of the hotel at
which they are stopping have even carried
their warfare, or persecution, or whatever
name you may call 1t, to such a length
that they will not sit at the same table
with their victims in the dining room, and
one especially high collared delegation of
visited the hotel office not long
ago and asked If the objects of their vir-
tuous fury could not be ordered from the
establishments. The proprietor said he
could not see wherein the atmosphere of
his hotel was being vitiated by the pres
ence of the Kentucky colonel and his wife,
and suggested that if any of the guests
felt themselves in danger of defilement on
that account they had his permission TO
20 somewhere else. The delegation con-
,luded TO stay. Nevertheless the erstwhile O
doughty colonel is now ready TO admit
hat the way of the convicted transgressor
is corduroy.

| WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Brossius was the
first speaker on the financial bill to-day in
the house. He strongly urged the neces-
sity for immediate relief, and earnestly
advocated the passage of this bill.
he made an eloquent appeal to his repub-
lican colleagues to lay aside party preju.

Grow, republican of PENNSYLVANIA. SUD-
ported the Reed substitute.
O'Neill. democrat of Missouri, and
McRae, democrat of Arkansas, and New

the debt paying ability of wheat, corn
and cotton to the old figures and bring a
return of prosperity.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 6.-There was an in
tensely sensational scene in the court
room to-day shortly after the Harvard
murder trial opened. Blixt, the self.
confessed murderer.was still on the stand
and Erwin began the days campaign bv
charging, directly, that the witness doc
tored his confession, given yesterday. to
suit the public clamor. The state objected
to this manner of cross examination and
the court sustained the objection.
Erwin then asked Blixt how he ac-
counted for the discrepancy between the
two statements he made as to Harrv's
giving him whiskey.
Biixt wanted to go into an exclamation
of this after his own ideas, but Erwin in.
sisted OH a direct answer. Again Blixt
tried TO hedge, answering that he was in
no condition at the time of his original
confession to remember details ac-
curately. ANY man in the condition
was in" said Blixt, "would not
be likely to know whether
the time Hayward brought the
whiskey was o'clock or half past ="
Hayward laughed aloud and looked
squarely at Blixt the while. The face of

Walker was the only one who pleaded
guilty. 1t is generally supposed that Sew

Tor the rebels during his recent visit to San
Francisco. John Cummings, formerly a
cabinet minister, stated that he was told
by Seward that he received letter from
the queen telling him to go to San Fran
cisco, where he would be furnished with
funds BY Rudolph Spreckels to purchase
arms. a friend of Spreckels named Willis
Is also implicated in the transaction.
Samuel Nowlin told of the frequent meet
ings held at Gulick's house, at which
plans werc discussed by himself, Gulick,
r ckard and Seward. The rebellion was
planned for five months. The new con-
stitution was completed about Christmas.
The rebels had a martial law proclama-
ton already. NowlIn said that many for
eigners had agreed TO help him, but failed
to appear in the field. Charles I. Gulck
presented written statement to the
court, in which he denied everything but
the drafting of the constitution.
On the 2ith number of natives were
tried on the charge of treason. They were
on the field of battle. The fourth batch
OF prisoners were tried on the following
day. The evidence against them is con-
elusive. In all cases no verdict has been

Minister Thurston read the associated
press account of the abdication of the ex-
queen with close interest, but refused to |
hazard an opinion as to whether the |
document signed by the ex-queen would |
affect the general situation or even the |
attitude of the royalists. "This action of |
tue ex-queen has familiar ring" said |
he. 1T is right in line with what the |
rulers In Hawaii have been in the habit of |
doing whenever they we're in a tight place,
except that in this case the situation is
worse and the declaration is, of course,
more extreme than it has been made be-
fore. The old king did substantially the
same thing once in 1880. when mass
meeting was held to protest against the
CABINET he had appointed, aud again in
1882 when, to save himself, he proclaimed
a new constitution, which practically de-
prived him of power. Since 1888 she tried
to save herself by offering to proclaim
the old constitution, but it was too late
and she was deposed.
"Of course this action of the ex-uueen
has no formal force whatever. She was
nothing more than a private citizen and
had no power to abdicate; but still it may
