They Show an Additional Steamer to
Hong Kong.
TACOMA, February 20.-The summer
schedules of the Northern Pacific Steam
ship Company, which arrived to-day
from Hong Kong, show that a new
steamship will be put on the line this
summer, arriving here on her first trip
July 81. This will give steamer each
way every three weeks after May 10 be-
tween Tacoma, China and Japan. The
new steamer is not named in the sched-
ule, and is supposed to be the first OF
the new modern liners which are said
to be building at the Fairfield shipbuild-
ing works in Scotland for the Northern
Pacific line. The agent here will give
out no definite information regarding
these steamers, but the news comes
from Scotland, via Hong Kong, that
they will be larger and better equipped
steamers than any that now cross the
Pacific.

WASHINGTON LEGISLATURE.

Text of the Work That Has Been Ac-
complished by That Body.
OLYMPIA, February 19.-With Satur.
day ended the fifth week of the present
legislative session, and while more than
half the time is now past very little
work has been accomplished. Three
weeks and half remain and they will
be made the most of. 1t is said and
generally believed that Washington has
never been in such dire need OF proper
legislation as at this time. This oil
course is caused by the unusual hard
times which have prevailed during the
past two years. Up to this time there
have been 722 bills presented for consid-
GRAFTON in the two legislative bodies. Oh
these 478 were introduced in the house
and 244 in the senate. Only about ten
days remain for the introduction of new
bills, for February % has been agreed
upon by joint resolution as the last day
for this kind of business. That will be
fifteen days previous to adjournment.
and it is generally conceded that any
member having any measure of import
ance to present can easily do so by that
time. Out OF the food OF bills already
presented q comparatively small num-
Der have passed either house and a still
smaller number both houses. The house
has passed twenty-nine bills which have
not been acted upon by the senate
while that body has passed eighteen
bills which have not passed the house.
Seven bills have passed both houses and

SITUATION VERY BAD.


Trouble is Expected Over the Railroad
Emigrant Business.
CHICAGO, February 22.-The meeting
of the emigrant clearinghouse, which
was to have been held to-day to consider
the attitude OF the Grand Trunk in pay
ing excessive commissions, was post
poned until tomorrow ON account of the
absence OF Chairman Caldwell. Inquiry
among the roads interested show the
situation TO be very bad. The 500 line
claims that the situation is even worse
on East-bound business than in the
West. 1t asserts that the roads running
east from Chicago are paying commits
sions of $4.25 on tickets to New York
contrary to their agreement of January
l last, and to meet this the 500 line has
been paying commission of rs on emil
grant tickets from st. Paul to New York.
The agreed commission of the lines be-
tween st. Paul and Chicago on New
York emigrant business is 70 cents a
ticket. The 500 line is adding this 70
cents to the alleged $4.25 commission
made by roads out of Chicago.
1t is thought that the Eastern lines
cannot much longer keep from making
reduced coal rates to meet those from
the South. There is meeting of coal
lines in Pittsburg this week. and it is be-
lieved some action will be taken, other
wise the Southern rate war may be ex-
pected to soon extend to the East.
Rate clerks will tomorrow begin get
ting out the sheets showing the tariffs
from st. Paul to Pacific Coast points.
The Omaha road has given notice that
it will put in first class limited rate of
$50 and second class limited rate of
$40 from st. Paul to California points
via Sioux City. These rates are made
by addition OF arbitraries on short-line
rates from St. Paul to Spokane. They
viii Of course be applicable to Omaha,
and there is certain to be protest from
several members of the Western Trunk
Lines committee. The question of
whether they can be made applicable
through all Missouri gateways will also
arise and have to be settled by Chair
man Caldwell.

HELENA, Mont, February 20.-The
supreme court decided to-day that Har-
riet 7. Sheffield and Erwin Davis, the
niece and brother of Andrew ]. Davis,
the Butte millionaire, may contest the
will ON the ground that it was forgery
and revoked by other wills.
III. A. Root and Maria Cummings
contested the will in 1891, and after a
six weeks trial at Butte the jury disa-
greed. The Root contest was set for
hearing July "a, 1898. However, the
case was continued by agreement and
the Sheffield Davis case called. These
contests were not ready for trial and the
case was dismissed. A motion to set
aside the default was overruled and an
appeal was taken to the supreme court.
The case was remanded with instruc-
tions to restore the contest. This again
opens the question as to the validity Of

Five Miners Killed and Six Seriously
Injured.
ASHLAND, Pa, February 20.-An ex-
plosion of gas which will probably re-
suit in the death of at least eleven min
ers, occurred at IL 80 this morning in
the West Berridge mine at the Mahoney
plant. Five men have been taken out
dead and some SO seriously injured that
their lives are despaired of. Following
is list of the dead and seriously in
jured.

Thomas Durlin, Bernard Reed, Peter
Brenback.
Seriously injured-William Minnich,
William Golf, Anthony Meyers, Edward
Davis, John Laney, William Davis.
Besides these several other miners
were badly burned, but it is hoped they
will recover. A gang of men were en-.
gagged in driving an air course when they
broke through into breast containing
q large volume of gas. This was inn.
mediately ignited by their lamps and ar
explosion followed. Some of the dead
were burned beyond recognition. The
mine is still on fire.

Queen victoria's Movements.

LONDON, February 20.-The Queen ar
rived in London this afternoon. The
strictest privacy was observed in her re-
ception, and at Victoria station empty
trains were aligned along the depot
platform so that persons on other plat
forms could not see her alight. The
reason for this extraordinary privacy
was that rheumatism had incapaciated
the queen from walking. A detach-
ment of life guards surrounded her car
riage as it was driven to Buckingham
palace. In spite of all this the queen
was heartily cheered.

The samoan Ouestion.

LONDON, February 20.-In the house
to-day Under Foreign Secretary Gray
said there had been no special agree
ment made in regard to the ownership
Of land in Samoa by foreign nations.
The United States government claimed
the exclusive right to the coal station in
the harbor of Pago Page. There was no
truth, he said, in the statement that
Germany was about to annex the Sa-
moan islands. England certainly de-
sired to consult the interests of Austria
liza in regard to Samoa.

victed he will be deprived of his civil

Surrounded by loving friends, and
beneath the fioral-wreathed arches OF
the First Baptist Church, Miss May
Howard Brock was United in the
bonds Of matrimony in Shreveport on
the morning of the goth inst. to Mr..
Clint Ards. From the accounts IN
the papers, it must have been a very
impressive ceremony, and the bridal
party must have presented pleasing
spectacle, as they marched up the aisle,
keeping time with the deep toned
swells of the. wedding march.
Miss May Howard was one of our
most popular young ladies. and her
friends here have always been jealous
of the claim that Shreveport has laid
to her. We can hardly find fit express

extend to the fortunate groom in this

Giver has been very lavish in bestow-

virtues which make woman the gem

woman is Gods brightest creation.
Nor is the young groom to be for
gotten; for words in praise of him
have come to us, and the Banner.

young lady upon weaving the net Of

voyage over life's fitful sea; and i

clouds that may lower last only long
enough to make the sunshine that fol

Fair be the wind that blows thy bark
over life's itful sea.
And may the voyage e'er be bright,
With blessings fraught for thee.
If cares should come or sorrows hour

No vestige of their trace.
