JUDGE HUMES.

As predicted in previous issues of the News, Judge iIumes of Seattle had a walk over in his own party for U. S.. Senator. He had hard fight because the government office holders were, of course, all against him. and in favor of Wilson. Several men got stepped on, :" and were politically bruised and man gled, the most conspicuous figure of which is J. E. Iumphries. who wanted to be a supreme court judge, Every thing was thrown away for the senator ship and it looks as if the Judge would be elected. This is assuming that the republicans will carry the state, and it looks as if they would. Any party that will tie up with the single tax hum bug ought to be wiped off the face of the earth and surely will be in state where the voters are as intelligent as they are in Washington.

Fire the Stewards.

The Nanuense i'll coming through the narrows from the north ran into the mud flats Saturday evening about | o'clock and remained there until about the same hour next day, when she was again floated. This is the first trip iu these waters for the vessel She flies the English flag and is manued by an English crew, including the steward of course. The passengers, and the boat had a large list, complained of poor grub One of the passengers told Us there was no beef on board and tue fish was three days past being good. They were given no tea or coffee at noon aud in every respect the fare was no good The fact is that English stewards are no good for American or Canadian travellers, and when au Eng fish vessel arrives, the first christian act of the owners should be to fire the steward and get a Canadian or an American. who will give tie passene rs something fit to eat and in sui tlent quantities. The way the English stew ards have of getting grub into their passengers is not at all suited to the western ideas or appetites. Even when there is an abundance to eat, they don't know how to have it put up in proper shape.
 Now there may be exceptions to this rule. No doubt there are some, but they are few, very few.
 Sanders. the steward of the Topeka, claims to Ie an Englishman. Perhaps he is, but he is the best steward on the Pacific Coast and if he is really En- giish instead of Irish as we supposed, he is one of the exceptions to the rule
 It is cruel shame, an outrage, to take real good provisions and cook them in such way that they are not fit to eat. Think of real nice boat, full of people paying good round sum for their meals, away out on the water, where they can get nothing except from the table, and then to be fed on rotten fish and other stuff equally re- puisive. The pearly gates may swing open for the admission of some of the class of boat stewards we have describ- ed but we doubt it.

col. LEWIS.


 We observe by the King county ra. pers that Congressman James tIamil- ton Lewis is making a canvass for re election. We have on several occasions referred to the brilliant orator of Seat tie and always in terms of praise, in fact our admiration for him has been continuous for the past eight years that We have luown him. We dn not admire him in a political way for We could never he led h believe that he was right in his advocacy of the free trade policy that he advocates There are many other questions that we could never agree upon but regardless of the fact that we might disagree on political matters, Col. Lewis is man ot superior ability and if given all opportunity and will help himself in a proper manner, he will surely rank as one of the great men of the nation. That We desire this rasardless of party ties. will be admit ted and We hope that the Col. will not think us presamptuous if We offer him few suggestions concerning the man ner in which his campaign should be conducted.
 In the first place. T political campaign cannot te successfully run on the same lines as lawyer runs q defcase in a criminal case. In the defense of client the people expect unfairness and that cvery advantage, however di-hon- est. will be used for the aequittal of one charged with crime. The Col. k the best criminal lawyer north of San Francisco and w doubt if he has su perior there. and knows just What to do in the defense of la case.
 Now. such tactics will not work ill politics. The people admire fairness in nearly everything and the Col. in jumping onto" President Mckinley. making statements concerning paper shoes, or incorrectly quoting fellow congressman, wili not make a single vote. but on the contrary will lose votes and friends for him. This VAS not re- publican war, it Was urged by demo crats, republicans and populists. If there was any difference in the demands for war by these three clements. the party of which the Col. is an honored member, was more vehement than the other two. It has been the boast of the leaders of his party that the president was forced into action, and if We have thus correctly stated the facts, it seems wrong for Col. Lewis to attack our chief executive, except it be for some dishonest act. Mere error of judgment on the part of the president willno eX- cuse the Col and it is his duty as well as that of his party, to stand by the president, who is admitted to Ike an honest, conscientious man.
 Be fair, Colonel. Forget for the time that you are a criminal lawyer. Make only such statements that your friends will believe, and you will surely be elected

HOW WILL HE FEEL?

Everybody has heard of J. T. Ron ald of Seattle. He is an able lawyer and more honest than lawyers general ly are. He is a democrat-a Missouri democrat, and his party is being drag ged into an endorsement of that fraud of all frauds, the single tax hum bug. Now, MT. Ronald is fine talker and the fusionists will want his help on the stump. What will he do with the sin ele tax. He has too much sense to be- lieve in it and he is too honest to talk in favor of it.

THE MARIA TERESA FOUND
SHE REALLY IS ON CAT ISLAND
She Failed to Sink When the Crew
Fled, and Lies In Twelve Feet of
Water-'The Natives Have stolen
All Movable Articles From the
Wreck.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE official re
port to the navy department OF the finding
of the Maria Teresa was concentrated in
the following cablegram received from
Commander Craven of the wrecking tug
Potomac, which had been ordered to CAT
island from Santiago. Nassau, November
II:
"To the Secretary Of the Navy, Wash
ington Potomac arrived. Maria Teresa
near Bird point, Cat island, one mile of
shore in two fathoms of water. Tide ris
ing and falling inside. Temporary deck
broken up. movable articles removed by
natives The Vulcan not seen. The ma
tives at work since Saturday"
The Potomac was ordered at once bacl;
to Cat island, with instructions to Com
mander Craven to take possession of the
Maria Teresa and drive off the natives
who are looting the ship. He replied by
cable that he would leave Immediately
and would arrive at the wreck in the
morning. The. fact that the Teresa. a
vessel drawing 23 feet of water and wat
erlOgged as she was when abandoned ia
probably drawing nearly 30 feet, has been
driven in IL feet OF water is regarded BY
naval officers as evidence of the great
strength of the storm which caused her
crew to leave her.

HE KEEPS THEM GUESSING
Emperor Williams Trip Is Stirring
mp the Diplomats


New York, Nov. l5.--A special to the
Herald from Madrid says:
Nearly all the heads OF the diplomatic
corps have called on the ministry for for
eign affairs to inquire wha temperance is
to be attached to the visit OF Che German
emperor. The government has made light
Ct the matter and it has further intimat-
ed that it expects, as an inevitable out
come of events, being forced to relinquish
the sovereignty of Spain in the Philip
pines.
The visit Of Emperor William has ex-
cited the greatest interest-in England and
France and the representatives of both
countries have been particularly eager, un-
der instructions from their governments,
in making for details. They have been
assured that the visit here OF the Spanish
ambassador in Berlin is purely casual and
that under the circumstances it is moth
ing less than natural.
The more staid portion of the political
world docs not attach much importance
TO the imperial visit and looks upon it as
perhaps merely to arouse hopes which can
not be realized. "a.
1t remains, however, at the present mo-
ment, matter of political record that
there exists a sentiment here that
France OF late has been of small utility to
Spain in spite of her assurance of friend.
ship, and perhaps the Philippines clause
of the protocol has much to do with the
origin Of this sentiment. t

RECORD OF THE woRtD's CROPS
Official Estimates From the Big Pro-
ducing Countries.

Washington, Nov. l4.-Sta tistician
Hyde of the agricultural department has
completed the official statistics of the
crops of the world for this month. and a
revised review of the worlds wheat is an
important feature. Subjoined are official
estimates of agricultural departments Of
various wheat producing countries of the
world:
Russia, 4l7,OOO,OO0 Winchester bushels,
an increase of 30,0O0.OO0; Hungary, 1872
277,O00 bushels of 60 pounds; Germany,
ll5,O00,0O0 bushels of go pounds; Italy,
l22 ,27l 900 Winchester bushels; Spain.
~ 100000 Winchester bushels; Roumania,
5s000,000 Winchester bushels; Manitoba,
100000 bushels; Ontario, 33,0O0,O00
bushels.
The London Times estimates the wheat
crop of the United Kingdom at 1890, 900
Winchester bushels, considerably in excess
OF the estimate month ago.
As the wheat area of the more eastern
provinces was larger than in recent years
it seems likely that The total for Canada
will reach the highest OF last months es-
Inmates, 65,0OO,OOO imperial bushels.
Australia has suffered from drought,
but this is now broken. If the Australian
wheat crop should fall short of the
Broomhall estimates, the largest, it may
in any case equal or perhaps exceed the
very moderate estimates OF the other two
authorities last month. The Broomhall
estimate was 54.000,000 bushels OF 60
pounds, while the estimate of the Bulle-
tin Des Halles was 37,OO0,000 Winchester
bushels Severe frosts have been reported
from Argentina and the latest accounts
as to the outlook for the wheat crop in
that country are not favorable.
