on good authority that the Northern
Pacific Steamship Company is arrang-
ing to put under the American flag
six British steamers which it is OPP
Grating to China and Japan from this
city. These steamers include the

Daniel S. Lamont, vice president of
the Northern Pacific Railway, and
others interested. secured passage by
Congress of law permitting the Civ
ing of American registry to the North
erp Pacific Steamship Company's
steamers. This was desired because

director of the steamship line, and
other traffic men recognized the adj
vantages to be derived by the opera
ton of steamers that could carry
traffic between the Pacific Coast and
Hawaii and the Philippine Islands.

posed change are the Tacoma, Olym-

Green Forest as Seen by Former
 Citizen.

Rev. D. Keeton of Granby, Mo-, resident of Green Forest eight years ago, and who has been here several days visiting with friends, is amazed at the growth ot the town since he left it. He writes us as follows:
 ED. TRIBUNE:-After eight years absence, we have returned only to find many changes in your town, yet we find number of our old trends. and, of course, we enjoy seeing them, and once more hay ing the privilege of "howdying" with them.
 Your Green Forest of eight years ago is gone-not from the earth, but from 8 very little village to quite nice town. We are very much lost when in town, but they say it is "Green Forest" yet we are strangely affected when we look around and begin to think of your town eight years ago, and today, Well, go on and spread yourselves, and in eight or ten years more, you will have done credit to this entire North Arkan- sas, for 1 am informed by the coun- try people as far away as six or seven miles from your town, that you are getting trade from even the White River hills, and all the adjacent country around here. That certainly means you have honest, enterprlsing mer- chants and as long as you can have that sort you need not tear. You will build up in spite of all your rivals.
 T see quite lot of land that yielded 10 Natures will only, has since yielded to the ax, and beau tltul corn is growing on the same soil. Good To bring all the valuable soil into the use of man is privilege we should esteem.
 1 highly appreciate your school building and neat little church. so different from eight years ago thinll about nine years ago (when 1 was on a Methodist work hefe) 1 voted for the county site to come to Green Forest. We'll, with the improvement you have made eff l did not live in MissourD l could vote on it again very conscionti. ously.
 Well, Mr. Editor, my article is growing long, so good bye, Greon Forest, one and all. Heaven s blessings, and the best citizenship be with you, and remember one who enjoyed two years among you. May we finally meet where town are not butt, but whore one city abides forever. Yours truly,
 D. KEETON. June 23. 1898.

HAWAIIAN annexation is now up to the senate, and as soon as a vote can be had it will be passed on to the president. Public sentiment IS so strongly in favor of annexa- tion that it's senatorial opponents will hardly dare resort to open filibustering to prevent vote, and 56 senators are pledged in favor of annexation.

Storm King Does Not Slight Optical Town
in lis Festive Journey.

The town was visited Monday and
Tuesday by the worst storm since the
blizzard a few years ago, in fact some
portions of the night the blizzard was
equalled if not excelled by its fury.
Business has been practically suspend
ed in the stores all day, and many of the
factory people failed to show up at their
work Tuesday. As vet no fatalities have
been reported, and the town is gradually
being dug out Of its snowy covering.
TWENTY EIGHT YEARS OLD.
The 2Sth anniversary of the st. Jean
Baptiste, the largest society in the opti-
cal town. was observed in the town hall,
Wednesday night, and fully 500 persons
were present. The hall was handsomely
decorated with French and American
colors, with symbolic banners placed
here and there to a good advantage.
Blancharl's full orchestra furnished
music, which was greatly enjoyed. Sew
eral outzof-town speakers who were eX-
pected to be present were detained for
one cause or another.
Many local speakers were in attend
ance and occupied seats on the plat
form. Clement Begin was master of
ceremonies and announced the various
speakers, among whom were George J.
Lamoureux, who reviewed the work of
the society for 20 years; DR.. J. r. Char
land, F. X Tetreault, J. B. Blanchard
and Leopold Potvin. After the adj

DEAL SUCCESSFUL.
Big Waterford Mills Acquired by
Charles Fletcher,
Probability That Blackstone Plant idle for
Four Years May Be staried-Iooo
Hands Interested.

Deeds transferring the Waterford
wooden mills at Blackstone to Charles
Fletcher of Providence, from the Earl
p. Mason Land Company, the heirs of
Bailey w. Evans and the heirs of Coley.
Seagrave, nave been recorded at the Of
flee of the register of deeds.
This formal act is the contamination
of one Of the biggest deals in mill prop
erty in Worcester county for years, and
one that has been pending for months.
The price is not named, but the prop
erty cost over $500, 600, and it is under
stood that it has changed hands for
much less than half that figure.
The special Importance and signifi-
canoe Of the sale is that the mills which
for the past four years have been shut
down by reason of the general business
depression and legal tdngles are now
likely to be operated at an early date.
The plant consists of two large factories
With about 80 set of machinery, and
formerly gave employment to 1000
hands. The business was started in a
small way fully 50 years ago, and for
many years has been the leading indus
try of the town and one of the most i'm
portant In the Blackstone valley. Fine
and medium grades Of goods have been
made and they have had a wide and
enviable reputation,
During this long suspension of bust
ness the property has been well cared
for, and with small outlay of money
the factories can be put in good run
ming order at short notice. Mr. Fletcher
is practical mill man of great wealth,
and is already connected with num-
Der of modern mills in the country.
He has not made known his plans
concerning the Waterford mills, but the
citizens of Blackstone are full Of conf
dence that either Mr.. Fletcher or 9TH
er parties will start the mills at no very
distant date, which means that labor
will be better employed, vacant tene-
ments filed up, thousands of dollars
paid weekly to the employees will find
its way into the various channels of
trade, and the days of prosperity viii be
once more realized.

The Union League basket ball team
Of North Brookield have been disquaM-
fed from competing in basket ball
games by VIM. H. Plummer of the N.
q. A, a. u, as ruling made by their
registration committee, on account Of
playing basket ball with a high school
team last Thursday, The Union League
has not received the official information
as yet, and although silent until Off
cially Informed, some OF the members
are very indignant. They say both
teams played a practice game, and all
players are members OF the Union
League, and that II was PLAYED in the
town hall because their gymnasium was
too small to accommodate any kind of a
crowd. They are in hopes that the dis
qualification will be removed by Secre-
tary Plummer when that official receives
the facts of the case from James D, Fos-
ter, secretary of the Union League.
SPY THE FIRST PAPER.
The roads leading from the town have
been broken and cleared and every
place is ready for business travel. No
papers from the east were received
Tuesday until the ) o'clock train, ex-
eept the Worcester Spy, at ] O'clock
and those did not last long. The Boston
papers and mail did not arrive here I'M
til o'clock, and the business men were
delayed with their orders.
Miss K. A. Mahoney, teacher of grade
8, was unable to be on hand for her
duties Wednesday morning, as she could
not get to town from her home, about
two miles out. She was at the school
house prepared for the afternoon ses-
sion. Several teams and gangs of men
led by c. B. Poland and c. A. Bush
were clearing the roads Tuesday and

minutes late, but did not find trains to

BURNED our IN A SNOW sroRM.

The burning Of the costly residence of
c. l. Travelli in Newton the night Of
the great snow storm was attended with
some unpleasant experiences by the &C.
cupants. The fire department had to go
through great snow drifts to reach the
house, where they found Mr. and Mrs.
Travelh and two servants huddled in
the vestibule of the house. clad only in
their night clothes. The three patrolmen
carried the women in their arms from
the burning house, through the deep
drifts to the residence of Judge Blaney.
SO hasty was their exit that they were
unable to save a single article of cloth
ing from their rooms
The fire was caused by crossed cleo
tric wire and broke out in the electric
closet in the second story of the house.
The same crossed wire disabled the po-
lice and fire alarm signals of the city.
The members of the family in their has
ty flight from the house were obliged
to abandon their jewelry and personal
valuables, worth many thousand dol
lars. The building was of granite, beau
tifully finished, and cost $65. 900 Mr..

LEICESTER ON EARTH.
Indignation Expressed Toward Man Who
Carries the Mails.

The town seemed to be once more
alive to the world Wednesday noon, at
] o'clock when the first mail since Mon
day night was sorted and two days
issue Of the morning papers was car
ried home to be read at leisure. Every
one in town was particularly anxious to
tell the mail carrier what they thought
of him, and 1t looked for a short time
after he arrived from Worcester, as
though there would be an old-fashioned
lynching bee near the post office The
carrier claimed that he couldn't get his
horse through the drifts, and was not
going to try until orders were received
from the Worcester office All the
milkmen, including Mr.. Buxton of Pros
pect Farm, and G. NJ, Bauder, who go
from Mount Pleasant to Worcester, got
through somehow, and H. E. Evans
made his regular trip collecting on
Mount Pleasant, Tuesday. Col. S. E.
Winslow rode down to Worcester in the
morning and returned home at night,
SO it seems as though any one not afraid
of his shadow in the snow might have
brought up at least one mail
HAD A LONG SIEGE.
The street railway men are the most
tired men to be found tonight Most Of
them have worked hard during the past
As hours, averaging about 20 hours dur

and was seen on car at Z o'clock Wed
nesday night The track has been
cleared through to Park street, Worces-
ter, but the teams fill in about four or
five inches deep between cars by rum
ming over the track, so that each car
has to clear the track with the scrap
ers. The Hope cemetery line was not
running Wednesday, and will be cleared
today. A gang of men had cleared the
Spencer end from Spencer to NJ. w.
Smiths, Leicester, at o'clock Wednes-
day night. The tracks will be cleared
by tonight in all divisions, if no more
snow falls.
