Detectives Scully and Barrett were close
by and hurried to the scene. BY the time
they arrived, however. Hart had smashed
the woman In the face and was making
his way through the crowd. This he sue
ceeded in doing and was just limbering up
for a chase on Broughton street toward
Jefferson. Barrett pushed his way through
the crowds and went after the negro. The
detective was followed closely by the
crowd whose anxiety was at high pitch
by this time; some were almost willing to
bet money on the race. The flee
ing negro was in front of the Alhambra
Music Hall, where he attracted several
who would rather see the offender and de-
tective race than witness show.
Barrett gained at every step and II look
ed like his race, when he collided with a
bicycle and went fiat on the car track, not
injuring himself, but adding to the excite
ment already created. He jumped up hur-
riedly to find however, that Hart had run
into the arms of policeman. The negro
was taken in charge by the detectives and
sent to the barracks.
The woman charged that Hart stole a
watch belonging to her and on meeting
him near the market, she endeayored to
hold him until an officer came. Hart de-
MED having the watch, but when searched
at the barracks, it was found among his
hereditaments.

HANNA DEFINES THE ISSUE.

Mark Hanna, chairman Of the Repub-
Lean National committee, announces that
that party will drop the silver issue in
this campaign and make their fight upon
the successful conduct Of the war, and
the issues involved thereby. The Demo-
cratic party is ready to meet the emel-
gency.
Does Mr.. Hanna think for a moment
that the people Of this country will main
tain that party in power simply because
our army and navy have thrashed a third
rate power, a matter OF no particular in
terest to the masses other than one of
sentiment and the liability upon them of
paying the cost Of the war will they
maintain the party in power for this rea-
son and ignore the injury to themselves
individually by the Republicans turning
over the control of the currency to the
banks instead Of retaining it in the gov.
eminent through the coinage OF both gold
and silver? We trow not.
Will the people maintain the Republic
can party in power because it proposes to
annex a lot of half-civilized Malays in the
east, and ignore the crushing power Of
the trusts which are upheld by that same
power? The American people are not
fools, as Mr.. Hanna will find out.

OF us.

There is no nation in the world which
in times OF war votes and spends money
with greater liberality than the United
States. Our expenditures at the present
Itime-consideiing the limited size of the
forces that we have upon sea and land
are relatively greater than have ever been
known before in tine history of the world.
So far as our navy goes, there is every
reason for believing that for each dollar
spent for supplies, 100 cents in return is
received that only those who are capable
OF wisely directing affairs are entrusted
with commands even Of subordinate
character; that the men have all Of the
comforts that the conditions Of active ser.
vice will permit, and hence it is not sur
prising that when the navy acts it acts
with tremendous efficiency, and with al
most q miraculous minimum OF loss OF
life. In the army, not only are contracts
given out that are wasteful and scandal.
GUS; not only do our soldiers fail to re-
ceive the supplies that are purchased for
them but important commands are given
to men whose only claim to them is the
political influence which they are able 10
exert ut Washington. How much longer
are we to wait for reform? How much
longer are the precious lives OF our young
men to be needlessly imperiled by in
competency at the head Of the depart
ment OF war? Or are these hund, eds OF
thousands of American freemen what the
French soldiers were at the time OF Ma
poleon Bonaparte, merely pawns to be
played and sacrificed in bloody game, in
order to serve the personal ambition OF a
political leader Boston Herald.

MORE FOREST RESERVE IG-
NORANCE.

Mr.. Henry Gaunctt, Of the United
States geological survey arrived in Seattle
the other day from Washington, ID. c., to
look after The forest reserves, and has
been talking through his hat to Post
Intelligencer reporter upon the subject Of
forest reserves If he is correctly re-
ported he is either denselv ignorant Of
conditions in Western Washington err
densely assnine.
He says: Il do not understand why
the people of Washington have SO bitterly
opposed the forest reserve bill. 1t in no
way conflicts with the rights of those
who have claims or homesteads." Per.
haps not, but what man, having gone
into the forest to make home expecting
neighbols to follow, cares to stay cooped
up in the wilderness by forest reserve
law. He may have the same rights to
stay there, but the government has
robbed him of all that makes those rights
valuable.
Again mill companies prefer to buy
the timber from the government and
save the costs of trials made necessary
when they are caught stealing the tim
ber." Indeed! THIS is complimentary
to the mill companies.
Lastly: "Since the settlement Of this
section Of the United States there has
been as much timber destroyed by fire as
has been cut and sold. l noticed today
that The atmosphere was murky with the
smoke from these fires" OF course it is
decidedly proper for the government to
prevent the destruction OF forests by fife.
We do not know as to the loss of timber
by fire on the Sound but if it has been
no more in proportion than on Grays
Harbor the loss is hardly worth talking
about. As 20 the smoky condition Of the
atmosphere, the poor fellow does not
seem to know the difference between Il
forest fire and the burning OF slashing
by a rancher who is making home for
his family,

The Suuth BAY Bridge.

When the matter OF rebuilding the
South Bay bridge was under consideration
by the county commissioners last spring,
considerable abuse was hurled at County
Surveyor jackson for having estimated
the cost Of the work entirely too high for
the purpose ol defeating the proposed
work. II is but just to Mr.. Jackson 10

respective bids that have now becu re-

MoVTEsANo, WASH, April /, 1898.
To the Honorable Board of County Com.
missioners Of Chchalis County, Wash
ington.
Gentlemen The undersigned having
been appointed by your honorable body
to make an examination OF, and estimate
the cost to repair the South bay bridge,
submits the following for your consider
alton
Upon examination, | find that all Of
the piles in the structure are DESTROYED
by himnoria and toredo, or so nearly so
that they will have to be replaced by new
ones, except about forty (40) at the east
end and thirty 500 at the west end OF
the bridge.
Second-That only 80 per cent of the
lumber and timber is available for the
rerair OF the structure; the balance being
so much jecayed as TO be worthless.
Third-That the location of the bridge
should be changed so as to place the draw
span at right angles to the channel OF
Elk river; the present structure being at
an angle of about forty-live deg. with the
said channel, which rendered it next to
impossible to get boats and RATS of logs
and timber through the draw when there
was strong wind from the southwest or
northwest, as there is good portion Of
the time.
Fourtk-That there are several logging
camps now in operation OH the streams
emptying into South bay, and that there
will be several million feet of logs and
timber come out from there the present
season, and will be the same for several
years to come; that the draw span is too
short $50 it, to accommodate the increase
of business in that locality that the new
structure should have draw span Of
sufficient length to give a clear waterway
OF at least 80 feet OH each side of the
center pier, and SO placed to be at right
angles to the channel.
Fifth would recommend that the
draw span be iron or steel, lS9 feet long,

A MODERN SOLOMON.

Tunis Correspondence London Morning Post,
A recent French judgment may be
cited as an illustration Of Arab man
ners and Gallic astuteness. An Arab
was travelling through the interior
with his wife he was on donkey-back
and she was afoot. BY came rich
Arab on horseback and offered her a
lift behind him. She accepted, and
presently, in the course Of the jour
ney, cOntldcd that she was unhappily
married. Her companion proposed a
plan by which she might elope with
him, and she agreed to it readily. Ac.
cordingly, when they came to branch
road they increased their pace and
paid no heed to the pr0testations OF
the husband, who was soon left be-
hind. He succeeded in traclsing them
to the horseman's village, only to find
that precautions had been taken
against his arrival, for everybody as
serted that they had known the run.
away pair for many years as man and
wife and that the real husband must
be an impudent impostor.
The unfortunate man had recourse
to the French, who were at first puz-
zled how to act in the face Of vii
lagos unanimous testimony. AT last
happy thought occurred to the judge.
He placed the real husbands dogs in
one room, those Of the other man in
another, and confronted the woman
with both. Arab dogs are very faith.
ful to their own households and very
fierce towards all strangers; 50,
though she did her utmost to irritate
her own dogs, they could not be re-
strained from fawning on her, and
though she layishcd every blandlsh.
ment toward the dogs of her new
home they barked and showed their
teeth with increasing fury. The judge
thercupon ordered her back to her
husband, and he placarded the village
With the following notice: "The
testimony Of one dog is here more to
be believed than that Of ten Arabs"
AS a probrium, this notice was DEEM
