4 CHASE ACROSS
THE CONTINENT.
West Suddenly Throws Up an En-
gagement.
Hurries to New York to Be Near Mrs.
Seabrookc.

San Francisco, Oct. l9.-Those who patron
izs the play house known as the 1ivoli next
week will not see william West impersonate
Wun Hi, the Chinese proprietor OF 1.-The
''Geisha" tea house.
Rehearsals for the "Geisha" were proceed
ing hsrmoniousIy last week when West read
that Eliva Crox SeabroolSe. the lady VINO
keeps .his heart, had dined quite amicably
with Thomas Q. ssabrooke. the gentleman
who was once her husband in fact, and is
still her husband in law.
That was Monday afternoon. There had
just been . ''Gcisha" rehearsal. and another
was billed for Tuesday morning, but West
left between meals, ~ 1t were.
LEFT HER PICTURES BEHIND.
Monday night he departed on the Eastern
overland without notifying the Tivoli man.
agement that he was about 10 smash his con-
tract into smithereens. He did not even take
the trouble TO gather his mhke-up tools to.
eether i'm his dressing room, but left every
thing untouched, including even number Of
photographs OF Mrs. Seabrooke. OF course.
West did not have to pay his bills. He simply
followed his will o. the wisp over plain,
mountain and river.
He decided that IL the Seabrookes were
dining in .friendliness. maybe en- famille, his
presence was needed in New York. SO he
stayed not on the order Of his going, but
went at once. It was by the merest accident
that the Tivoli people fixed the time of Vests
departure. When he did not show up at re-.
hearsal Tuesday they were amazed. Then a
boy who had been at the train to see Conduc
tor Heinrichs OF remembered that he had seen
West, aud that West had given him card.
II simply bore an address at Newport, r. l.,
to which West wished his mail forwarded at
once.
NO CAUSE FOR HIS ALARM.
1t transpires that Vests dread Of a recon
ciliation between the SeabrooSes was quite
an unnecessary panic, since Sesbrooke has
fed to Europe in company with a member
Of his company, presumably TO avoid paying
the alimony that Mrs. Seabrooke claims
Meanwhile West has sacrificed good Job to
be naar Mrs. Seabrooke and see that her heart
remains true TO Poll. And SO they go, like
Msphistopheles chasing Faust, who pursues
Marguerite.
As West himself is also married. there is
no saying where this love chase may end
but it is certain that West will never again
lie wun Hi with the Tivoli management. even
though he yet stands King High with the Sea.
brookes.
West Is well known in Newport where he
formerly resided with his wife. and some
years ago he was a familiar figure in opera tic
productions in Providence and other cities
in this section OF the country. IL is not
known whether or not divorce was obtain
ed by Mr.. or Mrs. West.

A WONDROUS WATERFALL.
A Cataract With . Thousand Foot Plung
Discovered In the Olympic.

A Cataract With Thousand Foot Plunge
Discovered In the Olympic.
The Olympic mountains Of Washing
ton have produced another attraction,
the beauty Of which is not excelled ON
the western slope. What is said to be
grand waterfall, coming from the snow
capped peaks above the clouds over a
bluff, falling a perpendicular distance
Of over 1000 feet and disappearing in
the bosom Of beautiful plain, has just
been discovered near Lake Sutherland,
a few miles from Lake Crescent, by two
ranchmen. Their description of the
scene would exceed anything Of similar
character in the Yellowstone park.
From the snow on the crests Of the
Olympics, where white men have never
visited, comes q little stream, which
rapidly grows in volume until it reach
es the edge Of perpendicular cliff over
looking beautiful plateau of 800 acres
1000 feet below. For centuries the wa
ter has poured over the precipice until
it has cut smooth passage, something
like large pipe split in half, in the
side Of the mountain. Here and there it
strikes an obstruction, and out of the
mountains 9 side squirt other falls. Stand
ing alongside Of the cliff a short dis
tance away, the scene is beautiful and
looks rs though there were half dozen
rivers bursting out of the mountain.
The huge volume of water disappears
in wild looking cavern and becomes
an underground river 1t flows beneath
the plateau for q distance Of two miles
and then again bursts ont Of its impris-
onment in the shape Of an oval bridal
veil and dashes over the rocks and cata-
racts down to Lake Sutherland and out
to sea.
The country is very rough, wild and
hard to penetrate. There is an abun-
dance Of wild game isolated around the
falls. The discoverers of the falls killed
8 elk in half an hour and said there
were 100 more in sight.-Seattle Post

THE BRITISH TREATY.

The Senate committee of foreign A.
fairs has voted by one majority TO re-
port the treaty drawn by Salisbury and
assented to by Olney. But the treaty
is SO am ended that Salisbury's organ,
the New York Herald, threatens the
Seu ate and the country with the dis
pleasure OF ita royal friends, and says
hotly that Salisbury will not proclaim
1t treaty il IT. 10 passed in it's emss.
culsted form-so there!
From the long whining and hypo-
critical snivels OF the Herald and some
other mugwump papers, it can be seen
that there is an attempt to make it ap-
pear that we are to have war right away
if we do not accept Salisbury's terms.
Indeed, the homilies that we are get
ting day after day from these worship
pers of mobility" on the horrors OF
war would make it appear that IT is our
duty as nation to sacrifice all self-re-
spect. If there were any danger of war
with England or with any other foreign
power we might see the propriety OF
all this lachrymose talk. But there is
no war anywhere in sight. England
has no more notion of ever fighting the
United States than we have Of fighting
England, France, Russia or Germany.
It is not the avoidance Of war that
the shrewd and unscrupulOus men who
manage the affairs OF Great Britain are
seeking. If they believed In arbitra-'
ton as principle they would practice
it occasionally with some of the weaker
nations that they are 30 ready to fight
on any pretext. This, however, they
have never been known to do. How.
then, can .he agents OF Great Britain
in this country affect US 20 believe their
present protestationsf In what year
OF our history has that nation as q ma
tion ever shown sympathy for us or re-
Trained frcm injuring us on opportu-
nifty?
No; this talk of ending wars on the
part of Great Britain is all pretence.
The real object is to prevail on us TO
adopt treaty Of arbitration, ostensi-
bly, to preserve peace, but in fact to
drag in other questions, especially
territorial questions, when rich mining
lands, canals or rivers, 10 that she can
lay claim in any preposterous manner
to them and then coolly ask US to sub
NIT the question to arbitration. John
Bull can COO you as softly as any dove
when it suits his purpose and his purse.
