Union OF Interests.

ence between President Hill, of the
Great Northern, ]. p. Morgan and
Chairman Edward Adams. of the
Northern Pacific reorganization COM
mittee, looking to an arrangement for
the union of interests of the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern, is still in
progress. 1t is learned from an au-
thentic source that while President
Hill did decline to consider modifi-
cation of the plan to form new com
pany to operate the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern roads, this does
not interfere with consideration of the
subject. 1t is claimed by Mr.. Hill
and counsel Of the Great Northern that
its charter empowers 1t to make the
guarantee which Hill has pledged him
self to give the Northern Pacific bond
holders, and he is still prepared to
carry out his part of the agreement
upon completion of the reorganization
of the Northern Pacific.

The Last OF .Wild Bill"

Spokane, August 24.-"Wild Bill, "
or w. J. Walters, we'll known in Spo-
kane, committed suicide in Colfax Jail
last night. He was arrested about
four months ago in Spokane for selling
whisky to Indians, and has been kept
in confinement at Colfax. Last night
he complained of toothache, and was
allowed with three old men the privi-
lege of the outer or large room. Some
time during the night he arose, and,
while the others were asleep, procured
a cord and hanged himself in the Jail.
Walters obtained the title of "Wild
Bill" from being wild and reckless
fellow, daring and making gun plays,
and getting into all kinds of scrapes
and fights, both with white men and
Indians. He was great horseman,
riding all kinds Of animals without the
slightest fear. He generally went
heavily armed, and for these reasons
was given the appropriate name of
"Wild Bill"

The Fires In Idaho.

Wallace, Idaho, August 24.-Word
has been brought in that the forest fires
burning up Placer creek for the past
few days had advanced within a mile
and half of this city, threatening
fumes that furnish power for the
electric light works and the city main
supply of water. The fumes were on
fire i'll several places, but the fire was
put out with only slight damage. Pas
sengers from the East over the Wallace
branch, who were obliged to walk over
the mountain from Saltese on account
of the burning of two bridges beyond
Mullan, report that the fires are still
burning. Flatcars loaded with cord
wood were burned, but, aside from the
loss of two large trestles, the damage
of railroad property will be slight.
Bridge carpenters from Spokane will
commence work ON the bridges burned
nine miles east of Mullan. 1t will re-
quire six weeks, at least, to complete
them.

DETERMINED UPON ANNEXATION
Castle Says the HawaiIans Will Have
Nothing Else.

Chicago, August William r.
Castle, the new Hawaiian minister to
the United States, is at the Auditorium,
en- route to his post in Washington.
Mr.. Castle was asked how the island
residents felt about annexation to the
United States. He said:
Annexation to the United States is
looked forward to eagerly by every
loyal resident of Hawaii. The only
ones who oppose it are the royalists.
Annexation to Great Britain is not in
favor at all. Neither is an American
protectorate. The people desire to be-
come part Of the American republic.
Even the natives are becoming adyo-
Gates Of annexation, they are realizing
the difference between the monarchy
under which they used to live and the
government Of the people conducted by
President Dole. One would naturally
think all the British residents would
favor the uniting of the islands in the
realm Of Queen Victoria, but such is
not the case. Many British residents
of Honolulu are strong advocates of
the United States. The annexation
idea is SO strong in the islands that
think it will never be obliterated until
union with the United States is a
fact"
He does not expect to take charge of
the Hawaiian legation until the presi-
dent returns to the capital. In the
meantime affairs will be taken care of
by Mr.. Hastings, the legation attache.
The general desire, Mr.. Castle says,
is for as great an American immigra-
ton to Hawaii as possible. During
his stay here he will work hard to
induce American farmers to settle on
the islands. They are most needed
there, and also the most desirable.

Large Sleeves Said to Be Forbidden by
Holy Writ.
New York, August 24.-"And thus
sayeth the Lord God, Woe to the
women that sew pillows to all arm
holes" Ezekiel xiii:1S). Armed with
this text Justice ]. Catlin aroused the
prayer meeting at the Grace Methodist
Episcopal church in Marion by warn
ing them that this applied to the pre-
vailing fashion of big sleeves. "What
are the enormous puffs that women
wear but pillows? And what can
more efficaciously arouse righteous
wrath than the abnormal and extreme
fashions of today?''
Mr.. Catlin went on to say that upon
entering car not long ago he was
shocked to see what large sleeves
women wore, thereby taking up the
space that belonged to other passengers,
and then he quoted the bible verses,
much to the dismay of the women
present, who had smiled incredulously
when he announced that he had scrip
tural authority for his condemnation
of the fashion.

cluded, they would not be seen in
public places in such attire.
The women members had lively
discussion of the subject after the
meeting, and those who adhered to the
fashion agreed that Brother Catlin had
no business to bring up such a matter
in such a place.

SEALING MEN EXCITED.
A Rumor That All Vessels without
Special Permits Are to BE Seized.

A Rumor That All Vessels without
Special Permits Are to Be Seized.
San Francisco, August 23.-The
sealing men Of this port are consider
ably worked up over the rumor that all
sealing vessels which failed to provide
themselves with special permits for
seal fishing are to be seized as soon as
they arrived at San Francisco. Not
only Is this rumor well founded, but
the men who have killed seals in the
prohibited district or during the close
season are to be criminally prosecuted
by the government. Two vessels, the
Sophia Sutherland and the Bowhead,
have already been seized, the latter be-
ing still in the custody Of the United
States marshal.
This year witnessed the departure OF
one Of the smallest fleets which have
ever set sail for japanese waters and
the Behring sea. Only fourteen sealers
in all left the port. They are the
Winchester, Alton, Sophia Sutherland,
J. Eppinger, Rasil Sparks, Theresa,
Jane Gray, Kate and Ann, Herman,
Edward X. Webster, Bonanza, Emma
and Louise, 9. q. White and the Rat
tier. The G. q. White has been lost
and the Kate and Ann landed her skins
at Astoria and went off otter hunting.
Only the Emma and Louise and the
Rather were provided with special per-
mits and sealing flags. These were OBJ
tanned at Yokohama.
A number Of sealing men met here
last Saturday, and it was decided to
appeal the case Of the Bowhead to the
secretary. 1t is claimed by the sealers
that the government is discriminating
against American vessels, to the ad-
vantage Of British sealers, and thus
diverting trade from this port to Vic
toria, where seal hunting has grown to
be one Of the chief industries.
