ENDS IN 4 DRAWS
OCEAN STEAMERS RACE FIVE
DAYS FROM PORT ANTONIA TO
PHIIsADEI PHIA.

DAYS FROM PORT ANToNIA TO
PHILADElI IPHIA.
An exciting race at sea lasting FIVE
and a-half days between the British
Usk and the Norwegian
steamship Banan was declared a draw
last night, when both vessels dropped
thelr anchors in the Delaware.
The Banan and Usk were chartered
by rival fruit firms and both left Port
Antonio on Friday, with the Usk a
half-hour ahead. There has been for
some time considerable rivalry between
the masters as to the speed Of their re-
spective vessels, and 1t was decided to
test them at the first opportunity.
Although the Usk started ahead, the
Banan was soon close astern, and for
five days and nights her engines were
kept at n maximum speed, until she
forged ahead and long before Cape
Henlopen was sighted the Banan was
in the lead, with the Usk only a few
ship-lengths astern.
The Usk worked better IN still water
than her pursuer. and at Reedy Island
quarantine station she led by sixteen
minutes and gained more than half an
hour when she reached the city, and
was the first to be boarded by the Gus
toms officers. The Usk Is commanded
by Captain Nilsson, and the Banan by
Captain Monsen. During the run the
vessels were scarcely visible. being en-
veloped In smoke from their furnaces

The Fruit Fair.

Almost every one to whom we have
talked concerning the Spokane Fruit
Fair heartily condemn the manage
ment. For the first few days all was
hurry burly within the great tent. Elk
hibits had not arrived or were not in
place, and thousands of people went
away the first and second days of the
fair thoroughly Disguised, vowing that
Spokane should not bunco them
again. This will have a bad effect up
on the city. There were ABSOLUTELY no
provisions made for the proper enter
tainment of the enormus number of
people, no reception comittee, no reg
istering OF rooms, and the consequence
was many people passed the first few
nights Of the fair without beds, who
wanted them and could have paid for
them. If the management had pro-
vided q list Of places where peop e
could have haen entertained. with
some competent persons in charge to
direct the enquirer, this would not
have happened.
They advertised Japanese acrobats
people went to see them and were
met by the excuse that the manage
ment had been unable to secure the
Japs. However, after few days, the
tent assumed "fairish look" the
different stalls were all well filed,
and wonderfully fine exhibition of
the products and industries of the
Inland Empire are now to be seen.
Some of the fruit is second to- none,
in all the stalls while the vegetables
are simply enormous. The display is
handsome and trip to the fair will
be profitable if you know where you
can stay all night and drink no water.

During the past few months little
thought or sympathy has been given
to the thousands of.honest and patri-
otto people in Spain whose homes
have been visited by the death angel
and whose hearts have been broken by
the loss of loved ones--husbands,
brothers, sons. And yet we are a
Christian nation, so called. For those
who map out and execute the awful
policy of Spanish cruelty no word OF
condemnation is strong enough and
no punishment too severe, but to pa
triotism and honest purpose, wherever
found, let us doR our hats, and while
the great mother heart of Spain sheds
bitter tears, let us weep with them
that weep.-Yakima Herald.

The railroad war which has been
playing havoc with passenger rates
the past year is now off and the rail-
roads are at peace. Everyone, wheth-
er connected with railroad or not, is
heartily glad that this fighting has
stopped. 1t may have permitted
some poor person to take trip cast
but rs rule it was detriment.
When corporation loses in one of
its branches it always makes it up in
some other branch. Thus the railroad
lost in passenger fare but probably
made it back in freight or government
shipping, etc. But this has stopped
and everyone is glad OF it. The rates
in Washington and Idaho after Nov.
] will be 4 cents per mile which is a
little advantage over 5.
Adams County news. [volume] (Ritzville, Wash.) 1898-1906, 1898-10-12

The low passenger rates of cents
per mile to go into effect alter Nov l
in Washington and Idaho will certain
ly be a benefit to those who will pat
ronize the railways. We will not
argue whether cents is high or not
but we will argue that the railroads
will receive increased patronage
enough to more than pay for the re-
duction. We believe that this reduc-
ton will be profitable to both railroads
and patrons.
