The OlymDia's Trim.

San Francisco, August "a The
Union Iron Works Company, which
built the cruiser Olympia, is very anx-
ious that the warship shall lower the
record of the Columbia when she
steams out of here this week to join
the Asiatic squadron. To that end the
company has offered to place sixty men
at the disposal of the navy department
to assist in making the trip. Irving
NJ Scott, president of the company,
sailed for Japan last week to bid on
contracts for the construction OF a
number of warships, and it is supposed
that he is DESTROYS of having the Olym-
pia make record breaking trip across
the Ocean for the effect such a per-
formance would have on the japanese
government.

DECIDED AGAINST WINSTON
spokane Allowed to Go Ahead With
Her Water Works Proposition.


Her Water Works Proposition.
Olympia, August 24.-The supreme
court today reversed the Judgment in
the case OF Patrick Henry Winston.
respondent, VS.. the City of Spokane.
appellant. The foundation of this
action was the alleged invalidity of a
certain ordinance of the city of Spokane
on account OF the existing Indebtedness
OF the city being in excess of the limit
authorized by the constitution. The
ordinance authorizes the city to enter
into contract for furnishing money
for the completion of the system of wa
ter works, and provides for the issuance
to parties furnishing funds of obliga-
lions OF the city, payable out Of a spe-
clal fund, to be created by placing
therein SO per cent of the receipts de-
rived from such water works. The
sole question presented is whether the
ordinance will create indebtedness
within the meaning of the provisions
Of the constitution.
1t must be conceded, SAYS the court.
that the water works will supply the
money for the creation of the fund
provided i'll the ordinance, and the ex-
pense incident to the operation, and
for that reason the creation of a spe-
clal fund can create no liability on the
part OF the city to make any payment
out OF the general fund, and therefore
neither ordinance nor contract consti-
tutes debt of the city within the
meaning of the constitution. The
credit of the city is not pledged, except
for the performance of it's duty in the
creation of the fund. The transaction
therefore is no more mourning indebt-
edness ON the part of the city than is
the issuance of warrants payable out of
the special fund created by assessment
upon property to be benefited by local
Improvement This principle was de-
cided by the supreme court in Baker
VS.. Seattle, in which it was held that
warrants issued for street improvement
and payable out of the special fund
created by assessment was not indebt-
edness within the meaning of the con-
stitutiOn. 1t was not then decided
whether or not the city would be liable
for negligence in failing to take the
necessary steps for the creation Of such
special fund, but it is fact that such
contingent liability was not sufficient
to make the obligations issued against
the fund part of the Indebtedness of
the city. The ordinance was a valid
one, and the contract entered into was
binding, for the reason that the obliga-
lions to be issued in pursuance thereof
would not constitute Indebtedness
within the meaning of the constuti
ton

FIRES IN THE FORESTS
Still Raging Throughout the
Sound Country.
MUCH TIMBER BEING DESTROYED
All Game Driven From the Hills to the
Water Courses, and Deer Are
Almost Dome sttcated.

Seattle, August 2O.-Settlers along
Lake Samish report that there is an
unbrOken line OF forest fires from Bel
fast to the lake, destroying large as
we'll as small timber, and rendering
the atmosphere almost suffocating. All
game is being driven from the hills to
the lakes and water courses, and deer
are almost dOmesticated. A settler
last week met two cougars near his
house. AS he was unarmed, he had
to give them the road. Mothers dare
not let their children get out of their
sight, and there is much alarm
the community.

American Railway Union Protests.

San Francisco, August 24.-Secre-

called upon to settle dispute between
the local members of the American
Railway Union and the commanding
officer at the Presidio. The ex-strikers
take exception to the inscription Muir
dered by Strikers which has been
placed on monument erected over the
graves of four soldiers who were killed
in the railway wreck during the great
strike year ago. General Graham
has been asked to have the objection
able inscription removed, and if he
does not do SO by next Monday, an ap-

BETTER Business Mt Manchester.

Manchester, August 20.-A better
business was done this week, frmer
cotton market helping, for China cloths
are engaged mostly to the end of the
year. The Indian demand is also en-
larging. The smaller markets are fol-
lowing the advance reluctantly. Yarns
are 3-16d dearer, but there is lack of
activity in them. Some business was
done for Japan. Home manufacturers
are buying little beyond their actual
needs. Spinners are working mostly
at loss, and some machinery is stop
ping.

There are some decreases in gr'

There are some decreases in gross
earnings this year from last, notably
the Southern and granger roads, but
there are also notably large increases
in nealry all the other groups, where
last year the dead level of decrease was
without relief. When the net earnings
figures this year are considered, the
showing is still better. The decrease
in the grangers and Southwestern
roads is still notable, but the gains
showed in the other group of roads are
sufficient to more than counterbalance
this falling off, and the result is very
satisfactory gain over a year ago.
