Socialist Workers Congress addresses to
all socialist organizations and trades un-
ions in all lands their fraternal invitation
to send, in 1896, delegates to the London
congress. The date will probably be in

following resolution was adopted:
All trades unions shall be admitted

ties and organizations which recognize
the necessity of organization of workers
and of political action In accordance
with this resolution is addressed to all
trades unions and to all socialist organiza-
tions that acknowledge the necessity of
the organization of the toilers and of their
taking part in political work. We ask
all workers organizations coming within
the two categories above mentioned to
send us at once their addresses, and also,
not later than January 1, 1896, such reso-
lutions and proposals as they desire to
have embodied in the agenda paper of the
1896 congress-"

Engineer Haskell and Two Com
panions Drowned.
THEY WERE IN A SMALL BOAT
W. A. Barton and Mrs. ProweII Also
Victims of Treacherous Waters
of the Columbia.

Waterville, Wash, May 21.-Word was
received this morning of the drowning
of c. f. b. Haskell, w. A. Barton and
Mrs. Prowell, wife of-Mr. Haskells as
sociate, conducting the government sur
vey on the Columbia river
The accident occurred at $50 last
evening at a point on the river a short
distance below the mouth of the Methow
river. The parties came up the river on
the steamer Ellensburg and undertook
to row from the Ellensburg to the gov
eminent steamer in a skiff. They were
caught in whirlpool and drawn under.
Mrs Prowell was thrown out and the
men hung to the boat In a few min
utes the boat was again drawn under,
and the men never appeared The cur
rent carried Mrs Prowell near shore
but before assistance could reach her
she disappeared.
There were several witnesses of the
catastrophe, but they were unable to
render aid. All of the parties are from
Wenatchee
Mr.. Haskell was one Of the best known
civil engineers in the state. He had
almost completed his government con-
tract. MIR. Haskell leaves a wife and
child; Mr.. Barton, a wife and two chill
dren.
MOURNING IN WENATCHEE.
Wenatchee, May 21.-There is nothing
further from the scene of the triple
drowning.
Mr. Haskell met his death while in the
employ of the government and had
charge of the Columbia river improve
ment work. He leaves a wife and one
young son, who reside in Wenatchee.
Mr.. Barton was a pioneer resident of
the Wenatchee valley. He was en-
gagged with Mr.. Haskelps crew on the
river work. Mr.. Barton leaves a wife
and two little children, who are now
with friends in town waiting to hear
more news of the loss of husband and
father.
Mrs w. r. Prowell was brought to
Wenatchee, the happy bride of Mr..
Prowell, just one year ago and has since
resided here, a christian loved by all
who met her. The blow comes doubly
hard on Mrs. Bancroft, mother of Mrs
Prowell, and mother-in-law of Mr.. Bar
ton. The poor old lady's grief is terrible
to witness.
Business in Wenatchee is at a stand
still and heavy chains of sorrow weight
down every heart.
The icy waters of the Columbia are
closely watched for the missing people,
even as far away from the scene as this.
The entire town is in mourning and the
ladies are endeavoring to comfort the
bereaved family of the lost ones. No
home in Wenatchee is without tears
and a sense of intense grief pervades
the very atmosphere. None of the
bodies are recovered yet and there is
small hope that they ever will.

Income Tax Decision Is Not the
Calamity Some Predicted.
THE TAXING POWERS HURT
An Extra Session of Congress. However,
Is Not Thought of by PTesi-
dent Cleveland.

Washington, May 21.-The income tax
decision, it's effect upon the revenues
and the probabilities Of an extra session
of congress to provide the means for
supplying the deficit were the chief sub
jects discussed in official and political
circles today. Senator Morgan of Ala
bama said today: THE decision leaves
the taxing powers of the government in
a state Of wreck. 1t will require a long
time for us to gather up the fragments.
The principles Of taxation which were
considered well settled are torn up by
this decision"
How will the question come up in
the senator"
I'm connection with the question of
refunding the $4,000 already collected,
and the refunding of the cotton, whisky,
beer and tobacco taxes. All these taxes
are as much direct taxes as taxes on
personality and as unconstitutional, ac-
cording to yesterdays decision Of the
supreme court"
what can congress do?'
"Of course" replied Senator Morgan,
congress will have to accept the de-
cision but an amendment to the consti-
tuition is always possible"
Senator Faulkner of West Virginia
an extra session and no earthly chance
for one. He added: Even with the loss
of this income, there is a comfortable
condition of the treasury. 1t has today
$90,00O,00O surplus, in addition to the
gold reserve, and I am sure this will be
sufficient to last until the meeting of
congress. The country will not suffer
go much from lack of legislation as it
would from a session of congress"
Members Of the administration who
are undoubtedly fully acquainted with
the presidents views and purposes state
unhesitatingly that an extra session of
congress is out of the question. Nor is
there the least likelihood of another
bond issue. The treasury has now a
balance of over 1892, 900, which is
available for all purposes, and this
amount is more likely to be increased
than diminished during the next three
months 1t is argued that the ap-
preaching fruit-canning season is GER
tain to make a largely increased demand
for sugar which, owing to the small
supply on hand, must be imported. The
revenues from this source are confident
~ expected to reach several millions,
and this added TO the large amounts
which very soon will begin to come in
from renewed liquor licenses, will large
~ augment the revenues, even should
the customs not meet the present eXpec-
tations. All licenses expire on June go
in each year, and judging from last
years revenues the receipts this year
from this source win exceed $4,000, OOO
which must be paid within the next 40
days. In the meantime expenditures
will be kept down to the lowest point
consistent with good business principles

CANADA USED STRONG LEVERAGE
Boring sea Restrictions Broken at Her
Instance Solely.

Victoria, B. c., May 21.-Those who
have had most to do with securing the
adoption of the new seal regulations,
disclose the fact that a serious dis
agreement occurred between the Cana
dian authorities of Ottawa and the
British authorities at London, which
at one time threatened to bring about
a renewal of the old regulations. Con-
trary to the general belief the British
government has favored the position of
the United States and not that of Can
ada, as to the sealing of arms on yes
sells entering the Boring sea during the
closed season, but the desire in London
to continue the former rule for sealing
arms was stubbornly combated at Otta-
wa by political influences which saw
an advantage in a policy antagonistic
to the United States. These influences
finally prevailed in London, although
the authorities there yielded reluctant
ly to Ottawas views.

country, which will be opened to white
settlement Thursday noon, is full of

hardly receive news in time to get ready
and get to the country by Thursday.

bank was incorporated on July q, 1890,
with capital stock of $500 900.
In explaining the failure Angus

misfortune is the inevitable result of the
hard times and the inability of the peo-
pie to- respond to the calls made upon
them. Our board of directors met this
morning and decided that in view of the
condition of the business not to open to-
day. The cashier was instructed to
notify the comptroller of the action
taken. We can do nothing until the
