VERY FAR AHEAD.
A Project to Hold a Fair in Tacoma
in 1900.

A Project to Hold EA1r IN IacOma
Tacoma, Sept. 20.-A protest to hold
an Occidental and Oriental fair in Ia
coma in the summer of 1900 was con-
sidered by meeting of citizens, held
at the chamber of commerce tonight,
and unanimously approved. A pre-
liminary organization was formed and
committees appointed to perfect plans
and have the work started both in this
country and in the countries of the
Orient, which it is hoped to interest.
The object will be to foster trade rela-
lions between the United States and
Oriental nations. The project has
been decided upon as result of the
great growth in the Oriental traffic,
which has so increased in three years
that 100, 900 tons, or 400 trainloads of
freight, from and going to the Orient,
will be handled by the Tacoma China
line this year. Congress will be asked
early in the next session to appropriate
$500. 600 for the fair ON the ground
that the Pacific coast is entitled to an
appropriation for fair, never having
had one.

blers Barred From Membership.
Atlantic City, Sept. 20.-At today's
session of the sovereign grand lodge, L.
o. o. F., great surprise was occasioned
by receiving the resignation of Sover-
eign Grand Treasurer Isaac A. Shep-
ard, of Philadelphia, due, he wrote, to
failing health. 1t was accepted by q
standing vote. Richard Muckle, of
Philadelphia, was nominated for the
position, and he was unanimously
elected.
| At the afternoon sessions amend
ments to the constitution introduced
last year came up for final action.
The first amendment was the addition
of another section to article Is, provid-
ing that no saloon-keepers, bartenders,
or professional gamblers shall be eligi-
BILE to membership in the order. This
Immediately raised spirited debate,
which lasted more than three hours.
The vote was finally taken amid the
utmost confusion, and the amendment
pas sed, by a vote of lat to 80, the
requisite number being 1876. This
amendment has been introduced at the
} annual session for four or five years
past, but its supporters were never able
to pass it until today.
Before the adjournment the sover
eign grand lodge voted to give thu
grand decoration of chivalry to abou
. twenty persons from Pennsylvania
! and to L. J. Jorgenson, past master o
, the state of Wisconsin.

Washington, Sept. 19.-The pay
master-general has been directed BY
Secretary Lamont to notify all army
offices that on receipt of their unpaid
salary accounts for the month of June,
properly certified and receipted, checks
on the National City bank, No. 81
Wall street, will be forwarded for the
amounts in full. The amount neces-
sary has been provided for by the
transfer of certain unexpended bal
ances. The deficiencies arose from
the requirements of the legislation en-
acted after the appropriation bill for
the last fiscal year was passed, and for
which sufficient provision was not
made

Spokane's Police Middle.

Spokane, Sept. 2O.-The police mud
die becomes more complicated daily.
Two of three police commissioners ap-
pointed today H. FL. Humphrey to the
position of chief of police, made vacant
by the removal of Chief Mertz. They
have legal service sustaining their &C.
ton, and are sustained by a majority
of the members of the council. Mayor
Belt disputes their authority to az
point, and has issued proclamation
tonight warning members of the force
to ignore the chief appointed by the
commissioners, and directing them to
recognize only the authority of Officer
McKerna, who has been named by him
as acting chief of police. The force is
divided in it's opinion, but majority
of the members is with the mayor.
Meanwhile two sets of authorities con-
tinue to give orders at the police sta
ton.

international Rights" the Subject of a
Paper by a Mexican Delegate.
Albuquerque, N. M, Sept. 20.-To-
days session of the national irrigation
congress was opened with a paper by
Don j. Ramon de Ybarrolla, of Mexico,
on international Rights" He said
that in the locality of Guadalupe-Hi-
dalgo it was explicitly agreed between
the United States and Mexico that the
Rio Grande should in no way be OBJ
stucted, nor the waters thereof appro-
priated by either nation without the
consent of the other. At the time the
treaty was made the river was naviga-
BILE up to within few miles of FL
Paso. The water has been appropri.
ated on the American side, and the
treaty has hence been broken by this
country. He claimed that some meas
ure or system should be devised by in
ternational agreement whereby there
would be an equal division of the wa
ters of the stream. Phoenix, Ariz.
was selected as the next meeting place
of the congress. The time of the after
noon session was taken up by the re
port of the committee on resolution
and the election of officers for the en-
suing year. The Hon. E. B. Moses, o
Kansas, was made chairman, and Colo
mel Hines, of California, secretary o
the national committee.

The Stanford Millions.

San Francisco, Sept. 19.-The argu-
ment of the special counsel for the
United States to secure for the govern
ment control of $15,000,O0O of the
Stanford estate was resumed today in
the United States circuit court of ap-
peals. The argument closely followed
the printed briefs. The argument
dwelt upon the personal liabilities of
the stock holders and the decision OF
the United States circuit court in the
case of French VS.. Tescnemaker was
construed as applicable to the case at
the bar.

Astoria, Sept. 19.-The case of the

Company VS.. Jacob Kamm, Caroline
A. Kamm, William Abernethy, James
T. Gray, Grace E. Gray, Albert L.
Gray, Carrie Fl. Gray and Ann Austey,
owners of the property in this city
known as Gray's dock, came up before
Judge Mcbride this afternoon. Hon.
G. A. Dolph and Judge Julius G.
Moreland, of Portland, appeared for
the defendants, while Fulton Bros. =,
represented the railroad company.
When the case was called, the defend
ants moved for change of venue, bas-
ing their motion on an affidavit OF
Mrs. Kamm, in which she sets forth
that the defendants cannot have fair
trial in Clatsop county. Editorials
from paper fighting the railroad, but
formerly one of Hammond's strongest
champions, are quoted, which, the de-
PENDANTS claim, tend to flame the
minds of the public to such an extent
that fair trial cannot be had. Judge
Mcbride took the application under ad
visement and will render a decision
soon.

row the coinage of the double eagles
from the millions of dollars in gold
bullion now stored in the vaults of the
mint in this city. The press has a ca

This course will be pursued by the su.
perintendent as the reserve gold fund
is now quite low and because of the
weekly shipments TO New York and
other cities it is desired to replenisl

Pocatello, Idaho, Sept. 19.--"Gen-
eral' Kelly, of industrial fame, spoke
here in the street last night for three
hours. He reviewed the travels and
hardships of Coxey's army last year
and asserted that this movement was
just in its infancy, and as soon as the
bluebirds began to sing in the early
spring they would be marching on to
Washington. He advocated govern
ment employment, and said Chicago
would be headquarters for the army.
He says they will not keep off the

Ianooga, Sept. 20.-f one may

DAYS. the Mason and DIXON line has
been wiped off the map. The friend
ly brothe1ly feeling which has been
displayed here this week, and which
was shown at Louisville last week py
the boys of gray toward the boys OF
blue, proves that the bitter sectional
ism which so long divided. the Union
no longer exists. For nearly fort
night now, the doors of the South have
been thrown open to the men who came
here thirty odd years ago, bearing arms
of slaughter and destruction. Not
single incident that would indicate a
feeling of hatred on either side has
been recorded. =.
"Yanks' and Johnny Rebs, !"
grown grey with years, have gone over
the great battlefield together, discussed
the events of those awful days, drank
together, and even, in some instances,
slept together without stirring up any
thing like an angry thought. Generals
who commanded armies for the Union
have been guests Of generals OF the
Confederacy, and each has solemnly de-
clared that there is no North and
South.
The events of today have bound us
4 together as nothing else could have
dome, and the solemn yet joyous even
of tomorrow will seal the tie forever. ,
So spoke memorable soldier of tn
North to one of the South at Grass Hill
today and the latter answered, will
