A Gigantic Cabbage.

There ia one department OF the govern
ment of this great country that does ex-
Extraordinarily good work: that Is the cab
bage bureau: in other words, the de-
partment of agriculture. This department
makes speciality Of sending out seeds OF
various kinds TO a thankful people.
Lettuce and Loves Flower. cabhages and
crooked-necked squashes, sweet peas and
string beans. and many other specimens
OF the useful and the beautiful of nature S
gifts are freely given through the cour-
tesy OF our grave senators. Readers Of
the Post-Intelligencer will remember that
a large number of these seeds were dis
tributed last spring through the agency
OF this paper. The returns are coming in.
Mr. James Pinkerton, who has garden
60 feet by 100 near Taylor's mill. Lake
Washington. brought in to the vegetable
editor OF this paper yesterday a cabbage
OF the Flat Dutch variety that would feed
a family several days. The cabbage
weighed fifteen pounds. although the Office
boy, who carried 1t upstairs, staked his
reputation as baseball player that IL
weighed as much as he did. Some of it's
leaves were large enough 10 float large

Recent occurrences at Washington City

CATION As everybody knows who knows
anything about the subject, a great deal
OF the necessary work of governmental
administration is of a technical or Scieri-
tiic nature and can be properly done-ol0
by trained and competent persons. wheth-
er they be Democrats. Republicans, Popu-
lists or what net. and that experience Is
a most valuable factor. In the long years
during which the Republican party was
in power the scientific and technical
branches of the government work were
developed to wonderful degree, and
when the first administration OF President
Cleveland began the state OF efficiency
was such that this country did not need
TO feel ashamed when brought into conf
par!son with other countries. II was, un-
fortunately true that the parsimony and
hostility OF one branch of congress had
often refused necessary appropriations,
but in the main the conditions were fairly
satisfactory. Under the first Cleveland
admin fstrarion some changes IN the person.
mel of the scientific branches of the public
service were made which provoked con-
siderable criticism, but II was reserved
to engage in wholesale raids which have
provoked general condemnation.
IL II not by any means wholly a ques-
ton OF the merits and Qasiificatio OF
the men who have been dismissed: IL also
affects the integrity and efficiency OF
many important branches OF the public
service. There was no question as TO the
ability OF Mendenhan or Powell or Har-
r4ngton or Davidson, or any one OF the
twr-score other men who have been sum
marty dismissed or forced to resign from
or frozen out OF the scientific branches of
the government service within the last

rienaa, viii become useful public SER

Small Catches of Halibut.

Schooner Loyal. Capt. Green. came in
from the northern haiibut banks yester-
day afternoon and is at Ainsworth &
Dunn's wharf with 14,o00 pounds of fish.
She made her catch on first arriving at the
banks, and seemed to have just made the
last end of a large halibut school. for after
the first two days she did not catch more
than 1900 pounds. The catch is very light
on both banks, and the vessels are most
~ on their way in. The Alcedo is expect
ed in with a light catch. The st. Law
renee mas gone north from the Flattery
banks on account of a poor catch. Sloop
Gyda arrived In port with 5000 pounds,
and she quickly sold them at a good price,
making this her best trip for the season.
Sloop Viola, which has arrived with 100
pounds of halibut, reports that the W. r.
Tickle has a catch OF 10000 pounds. and
that the Pilot, Anne and Morning Star
have practically no catch. They could
find few fish at the northern banks. and
are returning.

ESDEAvoR CONVENTION OF 's7.

Seattle. July -. 1Sss.
To the Editor: Seeing in this morning
Post-Tnteifigencer an article copied from
the Oregonian IN relation 10 the acts CT
the Seattle delegates in the recent Chris
ttan Frdeavor convention, feel that IN
9us,ice 70 the delegates and to myself.
being one of them, word of explanation
is due.
Just how the article In its present form
could have eInanated is to me mystery.
for. with my knowledge OF the facts sur
rounding the whole situation. know OK
none that could warrant such state
rnent. I am proud TO say that Seattle
did make strong fight for the 81 conyen-
ton. vet il did so with the full knowledge
of all. II was preached that Seattle
should withdraw from the race in favor
of Portland, or that the two cities should
arbitrate: il was long before the Boston
convention This Seattle declined 20 DO,
believing that the trustees were the prop
er and only judges as TO the merits OF con-
tending cities.
In Boston we had the same headauar-
ters in the Mechanics building as the
Oregonians. In fact. oregon. Idaho. Mon
tana and Washington occupied one and
the same booth. We saw the Oregon dele
gates almost daily from the very start
They were fully aware OF our Intentions.
and we OF theirs. The best OF feeling
seemed to prevail on the part Of all, and
am sure did so on the part of Seattle
delegates. We of Seattle stated to the
trustees in presenting our case that we
had not word TO say against Portland.
only that we believed that Seattle was
the better place for the convention.
The only thing in my mind that could
have acted as a surprise 10 our Portland
friends I'm the matter was the strength
shown by us before the trustees, for they
knew of our intentions all along.
The idea of our trying for the 81 con-
vention originated in the rs state con-
vention committee, a committee composed
solely OF Christian Endeavorers. The
idea was then approved by the local
union executive committee, and lattsrly
by our business men at large, who helped
us nobly. Every act of the preliminary
81 committee was done in a strictly busi-
ness way. with the full knowledge of ev-
cry one.
Our acts were undoubtedly approved
by the trustees of the United Societies,
and this is fully verified by the decision
of the trustees when they decided TO hold
an after meeting In Seattle.
We realized full well that. everything
being equal. San Francisco would be the
undoubted choice OF the trustees so far as
Coast cities are concerned. After this
IL was a mooted question as to what city
would be their choice.
/ do not care nor will I attempt at this
time to criticise any statement made
by my Portland friends. and will simply
reiterate sincerely what was stated to
Portland delegates in Boston, that in the
event of Portland securing the 1897 con-
vention no city would work harder or
try to send larger delegation to Portland
than Seattle, and in fact. the whole state
OF Washington. In return We only asked
the same from Portland Respectfully.
