Mikado" at Lake WASHINGTON.

Pinaiore" has been succeeded by
Mikado," at Madison Park, Lake
Washington, by the same company,
and their success has been equally as
marked as in the former production.
The performance differs from the u.s.

man-oi-war, which is transferred into
Japanese garden, and " The Mikado,"
" Poobah," Koko," and the other
officers of State, with the beautiful
Acknowledged maidens, make their en-.
trance in a long succession of boats,
towed hy naptha launch and ilium-
mated, as is the stage, by numerous
Japanese lanterns. As they circle
around the ship brilliant teu de joie

REMOVAL OF TREsPAssERs.-A Port
Townsend dispatch of the 9th states
that much CONSERVATION has been
caused in Jefferson and the adjoining
counties by the appearance of an
army lieutenant and squad with in.
strnctions to evict settlers upon gov
ernment reserves before Sept. 18th.
II is said that this order will affect at
least 800 settlers. A dispatch from
Washington says that nothing is
known at the War department of the
removal of settlers from military
reservations. As the army regulations
require the commanding general of
each department to prevent trespass-
ing, it is assumed that Gen. Otis
has undertaken to perform that duty.

A SUGGESTION TO OUR ENTERPRIsING
NEIGHBoRs.-If the people OF Seattle
only knew what q convenience it
would be to visitors to the Queen City
to have the names of all the business
streets plainly displayed at the street
corners, there would be no delay in
having boon so easily provided at
once conferred. Although the people
of that enterprising mart are gracious
in giving information, a visitor does
not like to tax their patience as much
as he is compelled to do by the alb
sence of the sign-boards provided in
nearly all other cities. Seattle has so
many larger projects constantly under
consideration, that it is not surprising
a matter which may seem to be trivial
to those who know the clay of the
land" so we'll, should be overlooked,
but we assure the city authorities that
this is a matter which will secure for
them still higher regard as model
city.

A Cruel Exhibition.

y Colorado dispatch gives the horri-
bic details OF a Sunday bull fight, in
the presence OF 5000 people. on Grip
pie Creek, which show that brutality
still holds dominant sway over the
passions OF man. The first bull turned
INTO the arena saved his life bv refusal
TO fight. notwithstanding cruel darts
lacerated his flesh, he could not he pro-
voked into defensive battle. He was
driven out OF the ring and another
poor dumb animal was substituted for
the death-Strnggle. After he had
been stabbed and left for dead by Chi
meta, the king of the arena" the
Mexlcans with their red cloaks, aroused
the dying animal into renewed fury.
One OF them came very near being
killed, bat this did not stop the bloody
work. " For four minutes" says the
account, which to many seemed
stretched to ten, the bull had fought
with death and men, blood squirting
from gaping sword-wounds Just back
OF his right shoulder, yelling from his
mouth and nostrils, flecking his sides
and forming pools upon the ground.
For over two OF these minutes the bull
stood motionless, almost, save for
heavins sides, as he gave long gasps
for breath. Then he fell. Only few
seconds, and he lay quite still. Then
he slowly struggled to his feet and
leaned against the heavy barrier to
the bull ring as if for support, pitifully
weak from the crimson streams fast
coloring the ground about. Then he
gathered himself and started slowly
forward, staggering and waving from
side to side. stopping an instant as
there came fresh gush of blood from
his open mouth, then on another step.
For twenty feet the bull advanced
weak, bloody and faltering. Then he
fell again. Still his fresh, warm blood
welled up little over the clotted mass
upon the animals shoulder, at every
step lessening the pulsation of the
heart. A Spaniard in the gaudy cos
tune of the bull-ring, stepped up to
the quivering beast and sent the sharp
point of sword.blade into the neck OF
the animal. swapping the spinal cord.
The legs of the bull drew up convuls-
lively, quivered an instant, then life,
chung to SO desperately and so long,
was gone"
1t is said that over 100 deputy sher-
ifs were in attendance and the man.
agement was placed under arrest, after
the performance was over, and will
doubtless be punished by nominal
fine. 1t is such exhibitions as these
sanctioned by the multitude, which
betray the cruel nature of mankind.
1t is a wonder that a Durrant, or a
Holmes, should occasionally give rein
to his devilish nature when the human
heart beats in exultation over the
death struggles of any of Gods crea-
lures?
1t seems that in this era OF financial
depression, of pestilence, drouth, flood
and famine. the dark cloud has spread
also over the moral nature of man and
made him an easy victim to his brutal
instincts.

Rather than lose what is now due, they
Will furnish necessary supplies during
the next fortnight at least. They tried to
make this agreement conditional upon
the auditors pledge to audit their April
accounts, but the auditor refused to bind
himself by promise. He told the con-
tractors that the refusal to furnish any
more supplies was a breach of their con-

the money due them as demands for the
breach of contract, throwing the burden
of suit upon them. The contractors ad
NIT that they can hardly go into court
of equity with their own broken contract

'Ohlo, you know. is for McKinlev' -
"Ohio ought to be for Governor McKin-

There will be but one issue. hard
times and good times. The Republicans

What about the tariff and slver?'

but they will only be incidental issues. :"
Speaking of the Indictment of President
Huntington of the Southern Pacific by a
California grand jury. Mr.. Depew said:
Ihat was certainly a contemplate
proceeding and is an offense for which
every railroad president in the country is
liable to prosecution. There is certainly
no danger that there will be many SINH

combined, until they have couple of
months of preparation. don't believe
Germany will send troops there in any

''Do you regard the situation as likely
to result in hOstilities between Russia
and Japan?''
well, ones knowledge of facts is so
limited that it is impossible to give a
definite opinion. But their relations
could not well be more strained than they
are now without actual war. 1t is evident
that Russia feels very strongly, and will
act accordingly if Japan fails to propitiate
her. France will follow Russia in any
thing she does.
''The ultimate result of such war
would be the overthrow of Japan, would
it not?"
Undoubtedly. These two powers would
crush Japan eventuallv.'

''Great Britain would not move until
her interests were directly touched. when,
of course, she would safeguard them.

NOT ALL THAT IS PICTURED
Hard Times Experienced by the Crew
on the Olympia
Pathetic Letter Written by One Of the Men
to a Brothcr-The Death of Cox
swain johnson

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-The cruiser
Olympia, under orders, is at Mare island
where an inquiry will be commenced re-
garding the death of Coxswain John
Johnson who was killed at San Diego by
the recoll of a tive-nich gun during target
practice. The dead mans brother Fred
erick is Southerh Pacific employee. and
has been out on the road. With the news
by wire of his brother death he received
a letter which had been written by Cox
swain Johnson at Santa Barbara before
his death. This letter will cause Fred
erick Johnson to make demand for an
investigation. This demand, with copy
OF the letter, will be sent to Washington.
Following are extracts from the letter,
which is dated Santa Barbara, April 20:
Our ship is beseiged with visitors,
and every inch of her is as clean as new
pin. She is a pretty sight to one who
comes on board but Fred, it is hell to
be one of her crew. As have already
told you. our toubles lie in our executive
officer who is as the boys say, sun
downer.' He and the captain ARE both
alike, and they are detested by the crew.
To give you some idea of our troubles,
we are poorly fed to.begin with, and we
are COOpeu up ike lou OF CoHNlCuS. Ii we
go to the mast to make any complaint,
Lieutenant Sturdy-our first luff-treats
us shamefuly He punished men for
mere trit1es, and worst of all, we are not
permitted liberties the same as other
ships. The men met on the berth deck
the other day and raised some money so
as to put our case in the hands of
lawyer as soon as we get back TO Vale 10
same as the Charleston crew did.
II do not want to desert, but God
knows | would rather serve three years in
the brig at the barracks than put in a
cruise on this ship with Lieutenan
sturdy.
I'VE have told the captain how we are
treated. but he will not listen to us. Ii
we return to Vallejo you will see it in the
papers. and | want you to come down if
you can and | will tell you more. as it is
not good policy to write everything in
letters.
