VESSELS MUST CARRY LIGHTS
Revenue Marine Officers Instructed to
Enforce the Laws.

Seattle, Wash, Sept. 20.-The
United States revenue marine officers
of the Sound have recently received Or
ders to rigidly enforce the navigation
laws in regard to the carrying of lights
on vessels, and they have caused almost
panic among steamboatmen by re-
porting a number of violations For
several years the law in this respect
has not been rigidly enforced, and
steam boatmen, from motives of econo-
my, have neglected to provide the
proper lights. The consequence is that
nearly every boat on Puget sound was
found subject to fine in some particu-
lar. The revenue launch Scout has
been making careful inspection, and
has reported violations which subject
the owners of boats to fines which ag
gregate several thousand dollars.
The navigation laws are very strict
in regard to offenses of this kind. They
require officers of the revenue marine
to board and inspect any vessel, from a
rowboat to steamer, and to report to
the collector of customs of the district
offenses against any of the navigation
laws, with the fine to be imposed. The
collector is then ordered to notify own
ers that they must pay the fine in cash
within ten days, or the vessel will be
sliced and sold to cover it; rowbOats
are subject to instant seizure. There
is no appeal from the action of the col
lector, except to the chief of the bu-
reau and the secretary of the treausry.

blers Barred From Membership.
Atlantic City, Sept. 2O.-At today
session of the sovereign grand lodge, L.
o. o. F., great surprise was occasioned
by receiving the resignation of Sover-
eign Grand Treasurer Isaac A. Shep-
ard, of Philadelphia, due, he wrote, to
failing health. 1t was accepted by a
standing vote. Richard Muckle, of
Philadelphia, was nominated for the
position, and he was unanimously
elected.
At the afternoon sessions amend
ments to the constitution introduced
last year came up for final action.
The first amendment was the addition
of another section to article 16, provid-
ing that no saloon-keepers, bartenders,
or professional gamblers shall be eligi-
BILE to membership in the order. This
Immediately raised a spirited debate,
which lasted more than three hours.
The vote was finally taken amid the
utmost confusion, and the amendment

requisite number being 135. This
amendment has been introduced at the
annual session for four or five years
past, but its supporters were never able
to pass it until today.
Before the adjournment the sover-
eign grand lodge voted to give the
grand decoration of chivalry to about
twenty persons from Pennsylvania,
and to L. J. Jorgenson, past master of
the state of Wisconsin.

Settled by a Compromise.

Tillamook, Sept. 19.-The fisher
mems strike was settled today by a
compromise. The fishermen asked 20
cents each for silversides, and they fin
ally accepted Is, the old price, and
they are to have free nets, free boats
and free tanning for the nets. This is
practically victory for the fishermen,
and will be equal to about 20 cents per
fish. AS the run of Chinook salmon is
about over, they did not form part OF
the consideration in the settlement
Armed men have been patrolling the
bay up to date, and serious trouble was
expected at any time, on one occasion,
and several shots were exchanged be-
tween the local fishermen and the out
siders. Several nets were cut and
many fish were dumped into the bay.
The run of silversides is good, and the
cannery will start up in full force TO-
morrow.

"NORTHANDSOUTH"
Mason and Dixon Line Has
Been Wiped Out.
SECTIONALISM HAS BEEN BURIED
This Has Been Proven by the Encamp-
ment at Louisville and the Re-
union at Chickamauga.

Chattanooga, Sept. 2O.-If one may
judge by the events of the last two
days, the Mason and DIXON line has
been wiped off the map. The friend
ly brotheIly feeling which has been
displayed here this week, and which
was shown at Louisville last week by
the boys of gray toward the boys of
blue, proves that the bitter sectional
ism which so long divided the Union
no longer exists. For nearly a fort
night now, the doors of the South have
been thrown open to the men who came
here thirty odd years ago, bearing arms
of slaughter and destruction. Not a
single incident that would indicate a
feeling of hatred on either side has
been recorded.
"Yanks" and Johnny Rebs,
grown grey with years, have gone over
the great battlefield together, discussed
the events of those awful days, drank
together, and even, in some instances,
slept together without stirring up any
thing like an angry thought. Generals
who commanded armies for the Union
have been guests of generals of the
COnfederacy, and each has solemnly de-
clared that there is no North and
South"
1.-The events of today have bound us
together as nothing else could have
done, and the solemn yet joyous event
of tomorrow will seal the tie forever"
So spoke memorable soldier of the
North to one of the South at Grass Hill
today, and the latter answered, with
tears in his eyes:
"Comrade, you are right; shake
hands, and they did.
Chattanooga is an enterprising town.
The people did as much for the enter
tainment of their Northern visitors as
any one could wish. At early dawn
the town and surrounding country
awoke. In less than two hours there
was a general exodus from town to the
battlefield. There were bands of music
followed by regiments of militia.
There were thousands on thousands of
men, women and children. Then there
were carriages, wagons and vehicles of
every description in which the people
rode. Many of the vast throng looked
over the field of Chicakamauga sadly,
remembering the awful scenes of car
mage and death they had witnessed
there thirty three years ago, but all
felt thrill of joy to know that old
wounds had been healed, and the
hatred of those days was no more.
Such were the conditions which pre-
vailed at the preliminary exercises at
tendant ON the dedication of the his
toric battlefield as a national park
which will take place tomorrow.

international Rights the Subject of a
Paper by Mexican Delegate.
Albuquerque, N. M, Sept. 2O.-To-
days session of the national irrigation
congress was opened with paper by
Don j. Ramon de Ybarrolla, of Mexico,
ON international Rights" He said
that in the locality of Guadalupe-Hi-
dalgo it was explicitly agreed between
the United States and Mexico that the
Rio Grande should in no way be OBJ
stucted, nor the waters thereof appro-
priated by either nation without the
consent of the other. At the time the
treaty was made the river was naviga-
BILE up to within few miles of Ell
Paso. The water has been appropri-
ated on the American side, and the
treaty has hence been broken by this
country. He claimed that some meas
ure or system should be devised by in
ternational agreement whereby there
would be an equal division of the wa
tiers of the stream. Phoenix, Ariz.
was selected as the next meeting place
of the congress. The time of the after
noon session was taken up by the re-
port of the committee on resolutions
and the election of officers for the en-
suing year. The Hon. E. B. Moses, of
Kansas, was made chairman, and Colo
mel Hines, of California, secretary of
the national committee.

SpOkane's Police Middle.

Spokane, Sept. 2O.-The police mud
die becomes more complicated daily.
Two of three police commissioners ap-
pointed today H. Fl. Humphrey to the
position of chief of police, made vacant
by the removal of Chief Mertz. They
have legal service sustaining their &C
ton, and are sustained by a majority
of the members of the council. Mayor
Belt disputes their authority to ap-
point, and has issued proclamation
tonight warning members of the force
to ignore the chief appointed by the
commissioners, and directing them to
recognize only the authority of Officer
McKerna, who has been named by him
as acting chief of police. The force is
divided in its opinion, but majority
of the members is with the mayor.
Meanwhile two sets of authorities con-
tinue to give orders at the police sta
ton.

Project to Hold Fair in Tacoma
in 1900.
Tacoma, Sept. 2O.-A project to hold
an Occidental and Oriental fair in Ia
coma in the summer of 1900 was con-
sidered by meeting of citizens, held
at the chamber of commerce tonight,
and unanimously approved. A pre-
liminary organization was formed and
committees appointed to perfect plans
and have the work started both in this
country and in the countries OF the
Orient, which it is hoped to interest.
The object will be to foster trade rela-
tions between the United States and
Oriental nations The project has
been decided upon as result OF the
great growth in the Oriental traffic,
which has so increased in three years
that 1870, 900 tons, or 400 trainloads OF
freight, from and going to the Orient,
will be handled by the Tacoma China
line this year. Congress will be asked
early in the next session to appropriate
$500. 900 for the fair on the ground
that the Pacific coast is entitled to an
appropriation for fair, never having
had one.

Business Has Been Suspended in Homo.
lulu, and Active Measures for
Eradication Are Undertaken.
San Francisco, Sept. 19.-The Ha.
waiian mail was landed from the
steamer Rio de Janeiro today, bringing
the following advices from Honolulu,
dated September 8:
Fifteen new cases of cholera have
been reported since the departure of the
Australia, making total of fifty-nine
cases to date. Eight deaths have taken
place in the same time. Forty six
deaths have occurred since the scourge
broke out. Two white people were
attacked yesterday, and have since died.
G. L. Dodge, business manager of the
Hawaiian Star, was one of the victims;
Mrs. Carroll, nurse, was the other.
Both contracted the disease from a ma
tive woman who lived in the same
house.
The city is in state of alarm, and
business will be suspended one week.
In the meantime house toulouse in
spection will be made and radical
measures adopted to stamp out the dis
ease.
In nearly every case the cause Of
death has been traced to poisonous fish.
The scourge is not believed to be Ash
attic cholera. No Chinese or japanese
have been attacked, although there are
thousands of both classes in Honolulu.
The steamship Rio Janeiro arrived
from Japan last night and landedd 375
Chinese immigrants and thirty Japan
csc. They have been placed in quaran-
tine. The board of health met this
morning and decided not to allow her
to land freight. The vessel will have
to take it to San Francisco. Both the
Bennington and Olympia have gone to
Lahaina, port on one of the neighbor-
ing islands. They will be absent two
weeks or more, as the captains of the
vessels are afraid to remain in port.
Residents of the other islands positive
ly refuse to allow passengers or freight
from Honolulu to be landed. They
claim that they do not require any sup
plies, and do not want any communi-
cation with the capital. G. L. Dodge,
one of the cholera victims, came here
from San Diego, where he has a moth
er and sister.

Money for the Army.

Washington, Sept. 19.-The pay
master-general has been directed by
Secretary Lamont to notify all army
offices that on receipt of their unpaid
salary accounts for the month of June,
properly certified and receipted, checks
on the National City bank, No. So
Wall street, will be forwarded for the
amounts in full. The amount neces-
sary has been provided for by the
transfer of certain unexpended bal
ances. The deficiencies arose from
the requirements of the legislation en-
acted after the appropriation bill for
the last fiscal year was passed, and for
which sufficient provision was not
made

IT COMES IN SLOWLY.
Treasury Gradually Gaining in A ccumu-
latiOn Of Gold.

Washington, Sept. 19.-Reports to
the treasury department show that
$3.50, 900 was withdrawn today from
the subtreasury at New York for ex-
port, and that $3.50, 900 in gold was
deposited by Rochester bank, which
offsets the Withdrawals, leaving the true
amount OF reserve at the close of bust
ness $95. 49,, 528. Under normal con-
ditions the treasury gains some gold
nearly every day, as banks in all of
the subtreasury cities prefer to ex-
change for notes any small amount Of
gold they may take in over their count
ers, especially if their reserve is in no
need of replenishing. During the last
few weeks the aggregate of these de-
poslts has been considerable. The offers
of large amounts, however, have not
been plentiful, except when accompan-
led by conditions the department could
not accept. Several offers of large
amounts have been lately made with
the stipulations that the department
pay expressage both ways, but as there
is no appropriation for this purpose,
these offers have been declined.
1t is said at the department that the
most generous offers of gold nearly al
ways come from the banks in Chicago
and st. Louis, and when gold is the
scarcest these banks always come for
ward and express a willingness to help
out. At New York today $436, 900 in
large United States notes was deposited
in exchange for small notes, to be ship
ped to number of points East, South
and West. These exchanges are re-
ceived with satisfaction at the depart
ment, as they reduce the supply of
cash, and in time, it is argued, are
sure to result in stiffening of rates of
interest and incidentally in cessation
of the Withdrawals of gold for foreign
investment.
The talk of an early bond issue has
practically died out here, the opinion
among officials being that, while Pres
ident Cleveland will protect the ma
tional credit when in danger by any
means within his power, the present
situation is not such as to call for any
action on his part. Those persons
qualified to speak say another bond is
sue is certainly not within the proba-
bilitieS.

Philadelphia, Sept. 10. = Superin-

from the millions of dollars in gold
bullion now stored in the vaults Of the
mint in this city. The press has Ca
pacity of 10, 600 pieces day, and by
working to its full capacity will give
an output Of over $40, 600, 900 month.
This course will be pursued by the su-

is now quite low and because of the
weekly shipments to New York and
other cities it is desired to replsnish
them.

Trouble Between the Two Countries
Over Boundaries.
Rio de Janeiro, Sept. 21.-Dis-
patches from Para state that French
lore has landed north of Amapa and
has blockaded Counani, close to where
the lighting occurred last May. Gov
ernor fabral, who was prominent IN
the former fighting, is preparing to re-
SlSt the French.
The trouble in May in the frontier
district between Brazil and French
Guiana has given rise to good deal OF
bitter controversy between the two gov
ernments. The Brazilian governor ar
rested a Frenchman named Trajane In
the region which is in dispute between
the two countries. The French COVER
nor OF Guiana organized an expedition
topunish Governor Gabral and rescue
IIaJane. The expedition, led by Cap
tam Lunier, was unsuccessful, its lead
eF and four marines being killed.
The French governor, Charvein, was
recalled to San Francisco for having
organized an expedition without the
authority cf the colonial officers, and,
MS successor, NJ. de Mothe, formerly
governor of Senegal, was sent out,
Win Instructions to pacify the region
ny peaceful measures.
The news above looks as if he had
decided peaceful measures to to be un-
awaiting and was about to reopen his
predecessors controversy with Cover
nor lTabral. This region is swarming
with adventures seeking gold, and
the only appeal of differences is to mob
law.
Counani was the location of a small
french settlement, and it was here
