CHARLIE HOLIDAYS BOOK
The Police Commissioner is Writing One
Telling of Experiences in Europe.

The Police Commissioner is Writing One
Telling of Experiences in Europe.
Police Commissioner Charlie Holiday
is writing book. He writes only at odd
times when he has nothing else to do.
Charlie has not become an author from
any sordid motive of gain, but he writes
wholly from inspiration and his book
ought therefore, according to the old
rule, be a success.
The book is to be called CAT the Tomb
of the Emperor" and strange as it may
seem the scene is laid in Europe. For
four years Mr.. Holiday lived at Stuttgart
and attended university. He had time
while there to look around a little and
he kept tab on the German emperor,
Unser Fritz.
While in Germany he attended the
last grand opera conducted by the great
Wagner himself and the chapter the
young author has just completed deals
with the scenes at the performance. The
emperor was present and Mr.. Holiday
can tell some interesting things the Ger
man ruler did.
The author is just now starting a chap
ter in which he deals with royal de-
baUch in which Prince Rudolph of Aus
tria was one of the participants.

THINKS BEN WON'T MARRY
112 East 9Th st.

The Late Mrs. HarrisOn's Brother Disbs-
lieves That the ex-President VIII Mar
ry Mrs. Dinmock.
POM TowNsEND, Jan. S.-There is
more than ordinary interest felt here in
the gossip concerning the probable mar
rage of ex- President Harrison and Mrs.
Dimmock, because the lady's uncle, Jno.
Scott, a brother of the late Mrs. Harri
son, has resided here for the past six
years and is one of Port Townsend's most
popular citizens.
John Scott has always corresponded
with Gen. Harrison since coming here
and appears to enjoy certain degree of
confidence of the latter. When ques
toned about the gossip, Judge Scott
protested ne knew nothing of it.
There is just about much proba-
bility of Gen. Harrison and Mrs. Dim
mock marrying as that you and I will
marry each other" he said.

Commissioner of Poor Hale is just now
the most sought after man in town. The
first day after he moved his office from
the old court house to 215 West Fourth
street he had about 200 callers, and gave
away fifteen tons of coal.
Nearly all of these 200 people went
first into the next door to Mr.. Hale's Of
flee and had to be directed to the right
place. Now there is sign on the door
of No 213, reading, This is not Mr..
Hale's Office. Call next door"
"Coal is the great cry" said the COM
missioner to-day. 81 am giving away
about eight to ten tons day now This
is not as much as l do when the weather
is wet, as people seem to be unable to
rustic out and get Gny fuel in bad wealth

on me for fuel will become greater as
more families will become destitute. The

opening of spring, is the worst time"

Wheeling, w. Va Sept. 4.-Fusion be-
tween Democrats and Populists in this
State WAS declared off to-day ut Clarkcs-
burg where, after nearly thrty-six hours
of fruitless endeavor between the commit
tees of the two parties to get together,
the Populists absolutely refused to sup
port General Watts, the Democratic can
didate for governor, and would not sur
render Watson for Sewall on the electoral
ticket Consequently they selected two
Populist electors ut large, and nominated
NJ. W. Fitzgerald for governor in place
of Mr.. Ralphsnyder, their former nomi-
nee, who resigned from the ticket.
In the negotiations for II fusion the
Democrats offered to withdraw their
nominee for State treasurer, superinten
dent of schools and attorney general sue
cessively and accept the Populist 'nomi-
nees, but these offers were refused by the
latter. Then, as Il last resort, the Dem
ocrats offered in the event the State was
carried to guarantee the Populsts an
equal division of .the State and Federal
patronage, and to give them the State
commissioner of labor. This was also
declined, and both committees adjourn
ed, it being understood that the Populsts
would keep in the middle of the road

fused Clearance Papers
Philadelphia Sept An effort was
made to-day to secure clearance papers
from this port for the suspected filibus-
ter, Bermuda, bat while Collector Read
was preparing them he received orders
from Washington not to release the yes
sci. Since then the British consul re-
voked the registry of the noted suspect.
Attempts have been made to get her
away from this port and have her reg.
lstered under another flag.
To-day John r. Vandever, customs
house broker, told Collector Read that if
clearance papers were granted the Ber-
muda would go to New York and as he
had been delegated by the owners to try
to secure a new registration, he would
guarantee that she would go nowhere
else. The papers had all but been granted
when the orders came from the capital.
These documents asserted that because
OF past voyages of the Bermuda there was
reason to doubt the sincerity of her own
ers as to her future movements. The col
lector was instructed to confer with the
United States district attorney on the
question and the two officials had Il long

Seattle, Wash, Sept. III G. Whit.
ney, eX-postmaster general of the Hawaii
an Islands, who has just arrived from

annexation feeling on the islands and says
1T is greatly intensified through the belief
that should Hawaii be annexed to the
United States the threatened Japanese
trouble would be entirely wiped out by
the abrogation of all existing treaties. BY
what is known as the Gibson treaty, en-
tered into with Japan about thirteen
years ago, Japanese may pour into the
islands in unlimited numbers. They now
number $4,000 and are still coming, Mr..
Whitney states, ut the alarming rate of
3,OuO year. He thinks it is only uues-
ton of few years until the japanese will
outnumber the natives and naturalized
population and in that case would cause
trouble They are already demanding

conferred upon them rs soon rs they can
