SPOKANE FRUIT FAIR OPENED.
The Parade UnexcelIed in the His
tory of the Northwest.

Spokane, Oct. Yesterday Spokane's
fourth annual fruit fair and the greatest
of the four was thrown open to the world.
1t was inaugurated with a parade that
exceeded in point of magnificence any
thing ever before seen in the northwest.
Over 10000 people viewed it pass through
the streets of the city. Floats that riv-
aled in beauty those of the Mardi Gras
festival in New Orleans, drawn by gaily
caparisoned horses and containing the
fairest daughters of the Inland Empire,
four great bands of music, civic and mill
tary societies and many other features
were in its line.
An early autumn day, perfect in atmos-
phere, warm but not sultry, was vouch-
safed for the occasion. Verify harvest
festival parade was that given. The queen
of plenty, Miss Rose Blalock of Walla
Walla, presided over the opening cere-
monies and the parade was in her honor.
Seated on a float of rare beauty, she led
the great procession, attended by her
court - Spring, Summer, Autumn and
Winter. Columbia, Britannia and Sean
dinavia were each represented by mag
nificent characteristic floats. The parade
was over mile in length. There was
nothing in it that was cheap or tawdry.
Local business houses expended vast
sums in preparing floats that were alike
a credit to themselves and the city.
There, in the middle afternoon. were en-
acted the ceremonies that opened the fair
to the world. A bevy of graceful young
women escorted the queen of plenty to
the band stand and introduced her TO
the thousands that filled the great build
ing. She read an opening ode, composed
for the occasion by Mrs. Archer The OPP
ening address was then delivered by John
A. Finch president of the fruit fair asso-
citation. Addresses were also made by
Congressman w. c. Jones and DIR. Y. G..
Blalock. Then was the crowd free to
wander among the exhibits of the fair
A feature in the parade and at the build
ing was the Sixteenth L. S. infantry band
from Fort Sherman, one. of the most bril-
liant military bands in the country,
which is engaged to furnish music
throughout the fair season.
The harvest in all sections of the In
land Empire has been an enormous one.
In addition to this the agricultural pop
ulation has been increased and new and
productive sections have been developed.
All these things have conspired to bring
an unusually large number of exhibits to
the fair. The richer sections of Wash
ington, Oregon, Idaho and British Column
bia, embraced within the limits of the
great basin termed the Inland Empire,
have all contributed their first fruits.

THE CONSTITUTION OF KENTUCKY
New Law VIII Affect the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company.

Frankfort, Ky, Oct. 2.--Last Tuesday,
the day on which the new Kentucky con
stitution became six years old, was the
day on which the law says all parts of
charters in conflict with the new consti-
tuition and the new corporation law
stands repealed The auditor and other
state officials have just concluded that
this repeals all the special privileges con
tanned in the charter of the Southern Pa
cifc Railroad Company, thus this com
pany is put upon the same footing with
all other corporations, including those
chartered since the adoption of the con
stitution, and which must pay fran
chise tax.

GOLD BY SPECIAL TRAIN.
Cripple Creek Operators VIII Ship
Direct to the Mint.

Direct to the mint.
Colorado Springs, Col, Oct. "a novel
scheme for handling the gold output of
the Cripple Creek mines will be put into
use by the operators of that district. The
plan is to set aside the output for one
month, take the bullion therefrom and
ship to the mint at Philadelphia at sin
gle consignment. A special train will be
secured for the purpose of transporting it.
The bullion will be placed in the charge
of some express company which can guar
antee its safety, and take all necessary
precautions to prevent accident or theft
while in transit. As the present output
of Cripple Creek is over $l,000,000 per
month, this will be one of the largest
shipments of gold bullion that ever
crossed the continent.

ter Will probably be taken to the courts.

GENERAL SATISFACTION
Felt at the Result of the Indian
apOI1s Conference.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. jan 14.-Many
of the delegates to the monetary con-
VentiOn remained over until today. A
general sense Of satisfaction at the re-
suit Of the convention is expressed by
a large majority of them. Congress-
man ]. H. Walker, of Massachusetts,
chairman Of the house banking and
currency committee. is as strongly
against the conventions work as ever.
Today Mr.. Walker said:
1 do not think any good will come of the
convention I think 1t has adopted a plan
that it will delay, If it does not defeat, the
purposes 1t had in view. The portents of
evil which hang upon and threaten the con-
illusions Of the convention may be enormous
There Is an immense body of the people of
this country who will take this same thing
from their representatives in congress who
will not take it from commission composed
of people whom, as was shown in the last
canvass, they hold to be antagonistic to their
interests. The result Of the action Of the
convention will put into the hands of the per-
sons in the country who have prejudiced the
masses Of the people against the who
form this convention, a new weapon. What
ever the scheme devised, it will invite oppo-
sition and prejudice and make it all the more
difficult for congress to pass it. They have
constructed report to harvest a crop in a
walled four-acre lot that will tread down
everything as it turns around in it. To the
convention, being q delegate from my city
| felt it not only my right but my duty to
Mr.. Walker said that he had no apol-
ogies to make for having stated the
truth, as he saw 1t, nor the slightest
fault to find with others who did the
same. Hugh H. Hanna, of this city
whose plan for improving the cur
rency system with minor amendments,
was adopted by the convention, said:
I is important that congress and the peo-
pie understand there is no disposition to
make demands. 1t Is simply to formulate a
plan that will be acceptable to the whole peo-
pie because 1t will be intended for general
benefit and not for the benefit of any par
ticular interest. Whatever commission is
constituted it will have the force behind it of
the representative Sof the commercial bodies
of twenty-five different states. The general
idea is the education of. the people to a SEN
timent, and through the influence of people at
home upon their direct representatives in
congress, it Is hoped the result will be of the
greatest benefit that can come from such
procedure
c. Stuart Patterson, the president of
the convention, when leaving, said that
he would take a week or ten days to
choose the executive committee, and
would notify each appointee on the
committee personally from Philadel-
phia. Then the committee will be
organized and proceed to agree upon
plans Of action, and the work will be
vigorously pressed in order that the
probability Of congressional action may
be learned as soon as possible,
