Conductors Hurt.

Two railroad conductors, says the
Oregonian, old friends and brother Elks,
had the misfortune to each suffer frac-
ture of leg few days since over in
Washington. ]. w. McNamara, one of
them met with his mishap in stepping
from train at Troy, and was taken to
Kalispel. The other unfortunate is Lon
Curtis, brother of Anson Curtis, of The
Dalles, also well known, who met with
his misfortune one day before Nc
Namara. He was badly injured, but,
at last accounts, was doing well. He is
member of the lodge of Elks at Seattle,
Knight Templar and Royal Shriner.
Both men have a host of friends all over
the coast, who will regret their mis-
fortunes.

finger. Such are the possibilities of
the great journal today. However, in
a few days down came an order from
Chief Pulitzer calling for a reduction
Of the price of the morning World to
one cent to city patrons. Uncle Jo-
seph's explanation to the public was
forcibly guileleSs. He said the World
had been soaring upward at the rate
of $4,000 copies increase since Jan. 1;
that it's average circulation, to be ex-
act, was Sis, 496 per day, but he yearned
for 1,e00, 900 a day; hence this change.
This, in fact. is the situation at pres
ent. But the war goes gayly on, and
the stories of the prodigality of young
Samson Hearst, who came across the
continent in his seven league boots to
shake the pillars of New York journal
ism, are thick as the celebrated leaves
of tabled Nallombrosa. Although the
young proprietor of the Journal is
millionaire several times over. and no
doubt is spending money lavishly, as
the result shows, most of the stories
OF fabulous salaries paid should be
taken with pinch of salt. AS for the

SHARP COMPETITION.
If The Journal succeeds in what it
has undertaken, it will outdo The
World at its own game, for it was The
World that revoiutionized journalism
in New York some twelve years ago, by
it's audacity, it's enterprise, it's per-
tinacity and its bombastic methods.
AS an instance of the competition be-
tween these two great Journals, one of
the latest specimens of frenZied fever
was the exploiting of the story of an
alleged wonderful gorilla. The Sunday

usual skill in revealing individuality
through incident. The other leading
icomte de St Alais,
his mother. sister and brother. as we'll
as Froment OF Mines. are all as clearly
heaving, tempestuous background.
Madame la Marquise, the woman who
stands for all that is haughtiest and
most intolerant in the old regime, is
presented with especial yividness and
vigor. The events of the story take
place first in the country near Cahors,
and afterwards at Mines. The hor-
rors of the revolution are ample
enough here, but, with the suggestion
OF the more terrible atrocities of Paris
IN the background, the reader, whose
capacity for gore is limited to wad-
ing rather than to swimming in it,
has certain grateful sense of being
>IIvilered from the worst. This is not
to say, however that the book is not
as exciting and interesting as the
most eXacting can possibly demand.
1t sustains Mr.. Weyman's great repu-
tation in this respect, and will satisfy
those admirers-their name is legion
to whom the exciting qualities of his
books are their chief merit. But Mr..
Weyman has other qualities and 9TH
er admirers. While the present furore
for blood-stained incident endures it is
probably too much to ask that he
should indulge the latter by a book
entirely to their taste. but should the
reign of peace in literature ever re-
turn, he will be happier than many of
his confreres.in that his occupation will
not be hopelessly gone.

NEW YORK, March 12-The war be-

merrily on. 1t was officially declared
when Mr. Pulitzer reduced the price
of the World to one cent to city read

coup d'etat by Mr.. Hearst, of the
Journal, who laid siege to sundry jour-
nalistic lieutenants under Mr.. Pulitzer

THE EFFECT OF 1T.

He spent money like prince--like a
level headed princeton specials from
the uttermost ends of the earth as we'll
as from it's intermediate centerS. His
reports of the recent South African
troubles may possibly have cost the
price of a good sized farm, but he beat
all his esteemed contemporaries. He
sent the veteran Murat Halstead to
Cuba simply because he could not find
better equipped man for that i'm
portant place. All this had it's effect,
albeit it takes good deal to do so in
New York in these fin de steele days.
Soon people who would not have
touched The Journal with the kitchen
tongs began to buy it.
But Mr.. Hearst was not satisfied.
Although he had complimented The
World, by drawing most generously
from it's corps of talent he reached
out once more and took Morrill, God
dard, the Sunday editor and practi-
cally it's complete Sunday staff. This
was a trifie more than Mr.. Pulitzer
could bear, for, although he is quoted
as an adherent to the very sound idea
that when a valuable man becomes i'm
bued with the conviction that he can
not be spared it is time to get rid of
him, yet its application several times
is not so satisfactory. So Uncle Joseph
had a talk with Goddard and his staff
and as a result they all returned-but
for day or two only. Possibly Editor
Hearst saw "the raise" or 1.-The ante"
or whatever the correct term may be.
At all events Mr.. Goddard and his col
leagues meandered back to The Journal
Office, the former with a contract for
St. Paul daily globe., 1896-03-15
MIR. PULITZER AROUSED.

But the loss of Mr.. Goddard and his
staff reused Mr.. Pulitzer to declara-
tion of war. In fact, the withdrawal
of so many men from the Sunday
World editorial corps suddenly and at
the latter part of the week looked very
much to outsiders as if that paper
would be materially crippled in its
next issue. But such was not the case.
There are from 125 to 140 columns of
live reading matter in type in the
World office at all times, and, super
ficially. the effect was no more than
it would be upon the ocean to sud-
denly withdraw the submerged index
