The litigation which has been taking
place during the past FIVE years over
the slide on Yesler way came 10 a tenn
porary halt a few days ago when a
jury awarded $3.50 TO an AUDITING prop
erty owner for damage done by the
slide. The property is On the north side
Of the avenue and the damage was
caused by the earth falling away and
depriving the injured property of lateral
support
The damages awarded were very low.
and the verdict may be considered the
first legal triumph for Corporation
Counsel Humphrey. but incident 10 II
was decision by the supreme court
on a preliminary demurrer which may
well cause the city authorities some
anxiety. The interlocutory defense was
that the damage. which first took place
in 1891. could not be sued upon. because
the statute of limitations had run The
court held that since some OF the earth
Yell taSt year the damages were cOntiD-
uing and the right OF action accrued at
the time OF the last slide.
In effect, this decision would seem to
render the city liable for damages ID an
indefinite time although the act of the
city which is decided TO have been the
cause took place seven years ago. The
hill is still sliding. and all the ingenuity

fall when the rainy season sets in.
a similar action was begun several
years ago by James Park. but the court
held against him on the ground that his
wife was a necessary party. and when
the complaint was amended by making
her party the lower court decided that
the statute had run and 1t was too late
for her t. c,}me in. This was supposed
TO END the matter, but now the danger
of damage suits has been revived on this
taeory of continuing damages.

How true IL is that international SYM
pathies are usually based upon self-in-
terest is shown in the case of France
and Spain. The disposition of the
French people To take the part of our
present enemy has been ascribed to an
identity of race, The fact seems 10 be
that il is due To the large amount OF
money Spain owes France and the prob
ability that the debt will not be paid
fer a very long time If our forces are
successful.
French iinaacieFs arc beginning TO fig

IL VIII Exceed All tlfhers and Will

The history % the settlement Of the

many others from the Middle states. who
will wish 10 move on. The cause is evil

fastened on Washington by the great gold
discoveries on the yukon. which IS iribu-
tary TO this state as well as in Washing
ton itself: by the bonanza wheat crop,
which has suddenly deluged mortgage
companies with money n payment Of old
debts; by the inroads OF Washington ium-
Der and shingles or the Eastern markets.
which have foreed the timber resources
of the state on Eastern iumbsrmen; by
the shipments of car loads of Washington
lumber TO the interior cities; by the COM
petition OF Washington fish with tina; Of
New England by the hops which have for
years been a staple In The London market.
When people see these products. they
wish 10 know more about the state from
which they come. and about the oppor-
tun,ty for engaging in the same business.
The Post-Inteillgencer proposes TO give
them this information n the Greater
Washington edition, which will be publish
ed in few days. All the conditions are
favorable for another wave of inimigra-
ton to the state of Washington, such as
has been outlined above, except that 1t
will be many times as strong. Former
waves of migration have been set In mo-
ton by single impelling cause, but a
number of causes, all equally strong, are
now operating on a number Of widely diff
