TACOMA TAXPAYERS.
elimination OF Their Fight Against
the Commissioners.

elimination of Their Fight Against
the Commissioners.
Tacoma, Nov. 28-The fight of the
taxpayers against what they considered
excessive charges OH the part of the
county commissioners eliminated this
evening. Within three weeks Chair
man Holmes bondsmen have left him
one by one, until only small part of
his original bond remained. He Sc
cured some sureties in small amounts,
but today was the limit of time al
lowed for filing an additional bond to
compensate for the last withdrawal.
1t is claimed that the commissioner
had reached the limit of his ability to
secure bondsmen, until two large prop
erty owners, George n. Boardman and
John Holgate, became sureties for
81, $50 each, making up the required
amount, after exacting an agreement
from the commissioners that they
would charge no more mileage, would
hold sessions, and consequently draw
nav nsss only four days week; would stop
giving their sens sens preference in public
employment, and wohlu Teaanae> sn l
mileage already collected insofar as il
proved to be excessive. The fight
against the commissioners actions has
constituted one phase of the efforts at
reform, in which the largest tax
payers of the city are now engaged.

A HOwliu1 Blizzard =.

Chicago, Nov. 28.-The storm which
ragged here last night and early this
morning was one of the worst which
ever struck this city. The wind blew
a gale and snow fell in great clouds.
Street and railroad traffic was greatly
delayed and the street car companies
had to abandon some of their minor
lines, devoting their energies to keep
ing the main lines open. The storm
blew down the telegraph and trolley
wires in Chicago and many serious ac-
cidents were narrowly averted. The
horses were killed from contact with
wires. Several fires during the night
were attended by the department with
the greatest difficulty. The fire cleo
trio system was badly deranged. and
the police system of telephones was
also rendered useless by the storm.
Chicago was almost isolated from the
rest of the world by the telegraph and
telephone wires being down and by
the blockade on the railway lines.

TWO ADDITIONAL TERMS.
Senator Wilson Will Endeav0r to Have
These for Court OF Appeals.

Senator Wilson Will Endeavor to Have
These for Court Of Appeals.
Washington, Nov. Ex-senator Will
son is going to try and secure some &C.
ton by the present congress looking to
carrying out the provisions of the law
establishing the circuit court of ap-
peals, relative to the establishment OF
two additional terms in the circuit. 1t
appears that the court has not held any
terms in any other state than Califor-
MIA, and all the litigation OF the states
of Oregon, Washington and Idaho, as
we'll as of Montana, which is brought
in that court, compels the parties in
terested to travel great distances to at
tend the courts. The selection Of two
Judges in California could not, OF
course, have anything to do with this,
but there are men who think that per-
haps if the judges were distributed
among the other states, it is probable
that the intention of the law might be
carried out relative to terms In other
states. Senator Wilson will not try to
designate where these terms should be
held, though personally he would like
one to be in Spokane, but he is inter
ested in having terms twice a year in
the Pacific Northwest, so that men
who have litigation before the court
are not compelled to travel great dis
tances to attend to their business.
From Helena to San Francisco men
have to travel 1, 900 miles, and there
are yet parts of Montana much further
distant.

Pittsburg River Shipments Begin.

Pittsburg, Nov. 28.-The river men
are jubilant, the general rain of
the last forty-eight hours having
brought the river up to barge stage,
and 700, 900 bushels of coal divided
into seven lows will start for the
South today. If the rain should con-
tinue boating stage is anticipated
very shortly and some of the largest
lows ever seen leaving Pittsburg will
pull out en- route. With every tow
boat taking their fullest capacity only
small portion of the coal awaiting
can be gotten off. This will be ap-
preciated when the fact is stated that
SO, 600, 900 bushels, twice as much as
was ever before accumulated here at
one time, is ready to be moved. The
scene along the levee today and tonight
was a remarkable one, thousands of
river men gathering and canvassing the
situation. Boat supply men were
busy, and everything pointed to an
extensive movement Of coal for South
ern points.

New York, Nov. 29.-The contest
over the money left by Andrew j.
Davis, who died in 1890, in Montana,
mas been renewed in this state. There
is still 100000 subject to distribu-
ton. Edwin Davis, brother, has
brought an action in the supreme court
here to enjoin the distribution of this
unless his right to a share In 1t is
recognized. This case came before
Judge Patterson on a demurrer to the
complaint to the effect that the su-
preme court of this state did not have
jurisdiction. Judge Patterson, in a
decision just handed down, holds that
the court had jurisdiction, inasmuch as
the parties have voluntarily submitted
themselves to the court. He also holds
cause for action is set forth and over
rules the demurrer, but gives the de-
PENDANTS leave to put in an answer.

ALEXANDER DUMAS.
The Famous French Novelist and ORA
matist's Death in Paris.

The Famous French Novelist and ORA
matist's Death in Paris.
Paris, Nov. 29.-Alexander Dumas
is dead. He died peacefully at Tao
o'clock this evening, surrounded by his
family While his physicians and
friends had become convinced that his
case was hopeless and death only a
question of time, it was not expected
the end would come so soon. A bull
letin issued at o'clock stated that
the slight improvement in the condi-
ton of the patient. which was mani
tested yesterday, was found to be
maintained today. Soon after this Du-
mas fell asleep and awoke at $3.50. He
feebly uttered few words to those
about his bedside, and then sank back
and died.
President Faure and ex-Empress Eu-
genie had made frequent inquiries re-
garding the condition of the distin-
guished patient since his serious illness
was first made known.
Alexander Dumas was born in Paris,
July %, 1924. He was son of Alex
ander Davy Dumas. He began his
literary career while boy of II, with
book of trivial poems, "Peches de
Jeunesse." Abandoning the magma
tive romance of his father, he applied
himself to the study of society, and
sought by verisimilitude to make good
his deficiency in dramatic construction.
His works treat mostly of the equivocal
aspects of French life.

AFAMINE THREATENED
Terrible Prospect Before the
Armenian People.
AMOUNT OF DAMAGE NOW DONE
By Mutual Understanding the Powers
Are Concentrating Their Fleets at
Smyrna-In the Interior.

Constantinople, via Sofia, Nov. %.
Now that matters seem to be quiet
ing down here and in the Asiatic prov.
inces, people are beginning to form es.
Inmates of the amount of damage done
and the number of lives lost during the
recent disturbances. Well informed
Armenians estimate the losses through
the events which have just taken place
in Anatolia alone at $50, 900, and
the number of victims are 10000. OF
course, these are Armenian estimates,
but there seems good reason for believ-
ing that the property destroyed, the
number of lives sacrificed and the ter
rible outrages committed are far be-
yond anything hitherto estimated or
described.
But this is not all. People compe-
tent to pronounce an opinion upon the
subject say that, with the coming of
winter, there will be many more deaths
from exposure and famine, and that
even the prompt collection of relief
funds, food and clothing cannot avert
much loss of life and great suffering.
Famine is threatened in a number of
districts, and there seems to be no way
of preventing it.
The powers instead of ordering their
fleets away from Turkish waters, as
the sultan earnestly requested, seem to
be determined upon keeping them in
the vicinity for an indefinite period.
A portion of the British Mediterranean
feet, it is reported there, will soon
leave Salonica bay for Smyrna, where
the powers are mastering their fight
ing ships. The warship of Great Brit
ain, expected to rendezvous at Smyrna
this week, will consist of nine battle
ships, four cruisers and four smaller
boats. The rest Of the Salonica bay
fleet will, it is expected, remain off
that port for the present, ready for any
emergency.
France has already at Smyrna one
battleship, two cruisers and two
smaller ships. Italy's flag floats from
two battleships and two cruisers and
four small craft in the waters of
Smyrna. Russia has two cruisers on
the way to Smyrna, in addition to a
powerful fleet cruising in the Western
portion of the Black sea. The United
States has been represented at Smyrna
by two cruisers, and Germany has one
small gunboat there, but it is rumored
that two German battleships are on
their way. Austria has has eft Smyrna
one battleship, two cruisers and IVY,
small gunboats. OF course, this is not
naval demonstration. 1t is SIM
ply concentration of the foreign fleets
at point agreed upon apparently be-
tween the powers.

Is Bold i'm His Statements.
Philadelphia, Nov. ga lette,
from Martin Julian, manager for Fitz.
simmons, was received in this city to.
night. 1t is dated Houston, Tex. Jul.
ian charges Corbett with cowardice,
and says John keenan,, of New York,
is an enemy of Fitzsimmons. He said:
"As regards Fitzsimmons crossing
the line and going to Hot Springs,
will say that it was utterly impossible
to safely cross anywhere. The entire
town was guarded, and we could not
have crossed without being killed, as
such threats were made to US. In con-
clusion l will say that l have already
claimed both the middle-weight and
heavyweight championships of the
world for Fitzsimmons, who is the
only champion; that Fitzsimmons
stands ready to defend both the tiles
against the world, and all corners, pro-
viding they be white men, for from
$4,000 to $4,000, first come first
served.
SHOULD Mr.. Stuart fail to drag Cor
bett out of the hole he has cowardly
crawled into, then Fitzsimmons will
be only too pleased to fight Maher or
any other man living. To further
show how willing we are for fight, l
will leave the selection of referee to
Stuart and Corbett. l will sign ar
ticles blindfolded If Corbett wants
to prove he is not coward, he will ac-
cept Stuart's offer for fight near Ell
Paso for purse of $4,000, which he
agrees to divide between the two men
should he fail to bring the fight off the
day selected, without interference Of
any kind. That is the fairest PROPOSE
ton ever made, and do not think
Corbett will ever accept it, because he
is too faint-hearted to go up against a
man of Fitzsimmons' caliber in a fair
and square fight, where crookedness
and put up jobs are not tolerated.
