FROM ST. MlCHAElS.
Tug Holyoke Arrives Safely at Port
Townsend.

1o"hsthus
Port Townsend, Oct. 1.-The tug
Holyoke arrived tonight from st.
Micheals, having left there on Septem-
ber II with the schooner w. j. Bryant
in tow.
On the 2lst of the month, while off
Kadiak island, heavy storm prevailed,
and the tug was forced to heave to for
period of 2S hours. During the storm
the hawser which connected the schoon-
er and the tug parted, and the schooner
went adrift. While it is not thought
the Bryant has been lost, grave fears
for her safety are entertained. She car
ried crew of seven men and two pas
sengers, the latter being Engineer Tur-
ner and wife, of the steamer Eliza
Anderson.
The reason given for the probable
safety of the Bryant is that she was
known as one of the best sea boats OF
her tonnage in the North Pacific
waters. She is 55 tons measurement,
and for many years was used as a pilot
boat off Cape Flattery and at the
mouth of the Columbia river.
Captain Clinger, of the Holyoke, says
the Bryant may be expected to sail up
the Straits at any time.
Captain Tom Powers, OF the Eliza
Anderson, returned from Dutch harbor
on the Holyoke. He Indignantly de.
nies the report that the Anderson will
leave her bones where she now lies,
but says the old craft will be on the
Sound and Alaska run next season,
and that scarcity Of fuel is all that
prevented him bringing her back to the
Sound now. He says the Anderson
never leaked enough to drown a rat,
and that all the passengers who went
north on her will verify his story.
People at St. Michaels are we'll pro-
yided with the necessaries OF life for
winter, and many of them are engaged
in building boats which will be oper'
ated on the river next season.

SUPREME COURT DECISION.
Payment Of state Warrants win Soon
Begin,

Salem, Sept. 3O.-The supreme court
convened today, Justices Wolverton
and Bean being present.
The petition for rehearing in the case
OF L. d. Shattuck, appellant, VS.. Har-
rison Il. kncaid, secretary of state,
respondent, was denied This is the
mandamus suit brought by the appel
liant to compel the respondent, as sec
retary OF state, to audit his claim and
issue Il warrant on the state treasurer
in payment thereof, for salary as cir
cult judge of the fourth judicial dis
trict.
This suit was commenced in Judge
Hewitt's court, department No. 2, cir
cult court OF Marion county. Upon
the filing of complaint the court
issued an alternative writ of manda-
mus, addressed to the defendant and
resondepnt, as asked, to show cause for
not complying with the plaintiffs de-
mands. A general demurrer to the writ
was filed by the defendant, and the
court ordered a pro forma judgment,
sustaining the demurrer. The plaintiff
refused 10 amend or further plead, and
the court ordered the writ quashed, and
gave Judgment for the defendant, dis
missing the proceeding. From this
judgment appeal was taken to the su-
preme court. A lengthy opinion was
rendered, in which it was held that the
demurrer should have been overruled
and the case remanded. A petition
for rehearing was filed by the secretary
of states attorneys without his advice.
One petition, prepared by N. B. Knight,
was published before being filed with
the court. The petitions were both
overruled.
Secretary Kincaid said today that he
has no disposition to delay the matter
further, and it being satisfactory tc
both parties to the suit, it is under.
stood, the supreme court has agreed tc
issue peremptory writ, and the secre.
tary of state will begin issuing war,
rants right away.

FOR FORGETFUL ENGINEERS
New Lie Saving Device That Has Been
Successfully S,sted.

-' -'''N ''''iHS bcNlcP That Has Rpn,,
Successfully S,stcd.
st. Paul, Oct. A very Ingenious
and valuable contrivance for the savino
OF life by preventing railroad accidents
through the forgetfulness of trainmen
has been invented. The machine hos
just stood II very severe test on tbn
Great Northern railroad, after haying
been previously operated successfully
on the st. Paul & Duluth road. Prac.
tical railroad men have given stronu
Endorsements to the device after SEEING
its work.
The object OF the device is to provide
an accurate and reliable reminder sir-
nal and distance Indicator for locomo.
tives by which engineers are prevented
from forgetting their train orders as to
stopping or meeting places The mech
an'sm Is simple, but positively connect
ed with the forward trucks of the engine.
accurately measuring the distance tray-
eled.
The dial is placed in front of the en-
glneer, showing correctly the distance
travelled. Above the smaller of two
dials are placed 10 triggers or dogs,
pivoted at equal distances around the
center
When the engineer receives his Or
ders, he sets one or more of these trig-
gers to point one mile short of the
distance to be travelled before reaching
the stopping place. The mileage indi
Gator, on reaching such point, releases
the trigger, which starts a signal whistle
blowing. This continues to blow for
one-quarter of a mile, promptly warn
ing the engineer of the near approach
to stopping place. If the engineer is
inattentive and fails to stop when this
last mile has been run over, the ma
chine sets the air brake and stops the
train for him. A train similarly
equipped coming in the opposite direc-
tion would he stopped in the same
manner. The device can be made to
run forward or backward. For foggy
or stormy weather, or for darkness, the
device is considered especially valuable
for ordinary road use. although its lie
saving feature was the point at first
sought for by Mr.. Wallace.
After trial on the st. Paul & Du-
luth, and trials on the Fergus Falls
division of the Great Northern, the new
invention was given an unusual test on
the recent trip of President Hill to the
coast and back. For this trip, the new
scheme, with one engine, No. 663, with
Engineer John Wilbane for the entire
trip, was tried, and the new life-s saving
device was on the engine. For / 1870
miles to Seattle on the Great Northern,
ITO to Portland on the Northern Pacific,
$50 to Spokane on the o. R. g. NJ, and
through Montana and back to St. Paul,
the new device measured all distances
with accuracy, and by other tests COM
pletely demonstrated its ability to do
all claimed for it. President Hill has
approved it with considerable enthusi-
asm, as have other officials on his road.
During the past few months, this new
device has been used successfully on
over 10000 miles of road. A feature
of the test is that it has been made
with the inventors working model.

Washington, Oct. 4. - Admiral
Beardslee, who has been in command
of the Pacific station three years, re-
turned to Washington today and called
upon Secretary Long and Secretary
Sherman. With the latter he went to
the White House and called upon Presi-
dent Mckinley The admiral, in a
short time, will make formal report
to Secretary Long, giving his views
and opinions on the Hawaiian situa-
tion, and such information as he has
gained during his long stay at the is
lands. The administration is anxious
to have a general review from such an
intelligent and experienced source as
Admiral Beardsiee.
Speaking of the reported opposition
to annexation, the admiral said today
that it amounts to little. The substaL-
tial business interests on the islands,
with few exceptions, favor annexation.

TWO FAIR SINNERS
Another Field for Women to Make Their
Fortune in.

Two young ladies appeared at the
court house yesterday and they had
what Paddy Shea or Jack Davidson
would call a novel graft" They lef-
there with three good iron dollars in
tie pockets of their jeans and their
visit didn't last more than thirty min
utes. They were selling shoe polish and
every man who bought had his shoes
shiled free, by them. The result was
that every man in the court house who
had any romance about him patroniZed
the girls. 1t was odd TO see them get
down ON what County Superintendent
Ma1key alluded TO as their marrow
bones and polish the great big shoes
Of the gentlemen who hold Office. Get
onto her curve said County Clerk Den
ny TO Deacon Wilson as one Of the girls
shined or shone the wilderness of leath-
e. that encased the mammoth pedal ex-
tremities of the head of the county
schools. In truth the young lady was a
picture OF grace on her knees. She
turned up the bottoms of the limbs OF
Mr. Mackeys trousers as prettily and
as handily as if she had been street
shiner--a kind of capitalo-an her life.
Indeed. !, may be that sometime in her
career she had played in the Hidden
Hand. The girls are all right. They
know how To make the spcndulix.

contradict This. The Populist party was
the first 70 elect two United States SEN
