WASHINGTON TRAINS RUN.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 23.-The inter-
ruptions to railroad traffic caused by
the recent storms are being gradually
overcome. AS the waters subside, it
is ascertained that the reports of dam
age done to the Great Northern rail-
raod have been exaggerated. The
washouts have been so far repaired
as to admit of the running of all coast
trains. General Western Passenger
Agent Stevens has received a dispatch
from General Superintendent Harding
to the effect that the main line would
be open by Wednesday.

COMMISSIONERS COURT.
The School Fund Question Bobs Up
Repairing of Jail Cells.

The School Fund Question Bobs Up
Repairing of Jail Cells.
At the session of the County Commits
sioners' court this morning Commits
sioner Bell suggested an arbitration
with the city in school fund matters.
He argued that it was bad idea to
fight the case and favored some meth
cd of reaching a settlement, where
by neither the city nor the county
would entail any expense.
Commissioner Guerguin was also in
clined to favor a measure of that kind
by stating that 'if possible to avoid a
duel"
Commissioner Salliway was agree
able to settle the matter amicably, but
was not willing to accept an arbitra-
ton. He said that the city is not en-
titled to any of the funds.
Judge Jonas said: 1--WE are not
fighting the county. Let them sue us.
1 am satisfied in my mind that they
are not entitled to anything"
Commissioner wilkins was not pres
ent at the session.
The court accepted a bid of the Hen
ry-Hall Marvin company for repairing
the Cells VI the COuHly jail, at Sl,JoU.
There are twenty cells and they are to
be put into first class condition, the
work to be completed in thirty days.
1t was ordered by court that hereaf-
ter all paupers not attended by the
county physician and dying, shall not
be buried in the county's cemetery or
at the county's expense. The county
physician was authorized to enter into
mutual agreement in writing with the
city physician as to the care of the in
dlgent sick, same to be submitted to
the court for ratification.
An agent for a fire extinguisher in
troduced his apparatus to the court,
showing the working of it, at SIS a
piece. He recommended that it would
be a good thing for the poor house.
Mr.. Salliway said he and Mr. Bellwould
visit the poor house this afternoon and
would consider the feasibility of pro-
viding that Institution with extinguish-
ers.

On Account OF the Noted FlIIbuster steamer
Three Frienda.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-From certain informa-
tion received from Madrid this Government be-
lievcs that Spain intends to file a claim for dam
ages against the United States on account Of an
alleged expedition of the noted tlibuster. Three
Friends, to Cuba, in June. 1896. An investiga-
tion made by the Treasury Department devel-
oped that the Three Friends got away from
Jacksonville without being searched. through
the remissness Of u Spanish official. Just as the
schooner Silver Heels escaped the vigilance of
Federal officers in New York. because the Span
ish agent. who was assisting them. failed to
carry out his duty Of watching the vessel.
A report from the Collector of Customs at
Jacksonville says that the Spanish Vice Consul
there informed the Collector that the Three
Friends would leave for Cuba at a certain time.
The consular officer promised to havo n steam
launch ready to take out the Federal officers to
the hlibuster, but when they at tho
appointed place there was no steam launch In
waiting. BY the time a suitable boat had been
secured the Three Friends had sailed away.
The Collector says he does not believe the Three
Friends went to Cuba, because she had been
ibelled several times and was not taking any
risks. e.
