The President Has Decided to Post

Until Fall.

The President has decided to post

Cuban matter until late in the fall or

Secretary Long and the naval ex-

This decision does not mean that
peaceful Intervention has been aban-

would not be a casus belli, and il 1t il

THE University students have issued
a circular setting forth their side of
the trouble, which has just occurred
in that institution. The student body
claims that reports sent out by news
paper men have been, to say the least,
injudicious. The circular says:
The only feeling among the people
is of warm and hearty love for the in
stitution, but the newspaper reporter
would make il seem tha1 there is
an element of anarchy and disorder
hara . y y
Finally, there ia not and has not been
any such absurd and ridiculous justi-
fication of their conduct by the stu
dents as your correspondent would
-endesvor to show. No student has
ever claimed the right to destroyState
property because he is a citizen of the
State. Moreover, they do not claim
that they acted entirely within their
rights in doing as they did. They ad-
NIT their faults but claim that when
both sides of the story are heard, the
sound sense of the council will ma
terially lessen their culpability.

ON THE BOAT, March Dear Wife:
I received your letter to-day. I know
I never was as glad to hear from you
as this time. I sent you q postal this
morning; I did not expect to write
any more tlll I got to Dyea, but the
boat will stop at Seattle A or 5 hours
and I a mail my letter there. 1t will
be 8 or 4 O'Clock before the boat pulls
out. I am getting along all right. /
got awful tired the last part of the
trip. 1t was a long road and tiresome
to one that is not used to travelling
much. When you write again direct
your letter to Dyea; the captain says
we will get there Saturday. John
Elliott, Roy Roberts and myself will
stay together and divide money. Well,
l promised to write you about my
clothing. 1 got two suits of under
wear and two owe shirts, n pair of
thick lined pants, two pairs of overalls,
one pair of Mackinaw ~overshoes, one
pair of shoes that come nearly to my
knees, one pair of hip rubber boots,
one pair of thick socks and a cap and
a wooden outfit to come down all over
my head when I go to bed. Well, the
boat has just whistled to start. John
and I have counted up the expenses to
Dyea and it amounts TO about 1884. 1t
has cost us more than it ought to. My
outfit cost $143, besides what grub
had to buy in Tacoma. The boat lie
fixed very comfortable; everything
looks clean and nice. I wish they
would hurry up with supper; I am
getting hungry. We are way out on
the ocean now; I would enjoyi it if you
and the children were with me. ]
have just ate supper and will finish
my letter. I drank two cups of coffee,
ate two plates of fish and some pota-
toes for supper, 30 you g I haven't
entirely lost my appetite yet. I can
see the city of Seattle, where I will
mail this letter, SO I will have to close
for this time. 1t takes the boat TX
hours to run from Tacoma to Seattle.
I will write you again in a few days,
Your true and loving husband,

correspondence OF the Ledger.

Correspondence OF the Ledger.
On BOARD STEAMER CITY OF SEAT
TIE, VANCOUVER, B. O., March s.
The party that sold their tickets and
are going to the Copper River District
intend to 60 by another boat. 1t in
cludes Chas. Baker, of Laddonia, and
o. P. Jones, SO I am told. Well, the
steamship company performed a part
of their contract and violated a part.
They carried our party on tickets pur-
chased at Mexico, but refused to stop
at juneau to let us outfit. They
promised instead to carry our outfits
free from Tacoma. So we bought
them there and worked hard Saturday
night and Sunday to get our things
aboard by Monday morning, the
time the steamer was advertised to
start. But, after getting our things in
their warehouse, they positively re-
fused to load 1t unless paid in advance,
giving as their reason that they had
not settled with the Northern Pacific
r. r. yet.
The freight was charged by the foot
both On the boat and also for space in
the warehouse while waiting to load;
so that by the time our freight was
paid we were out of pocket about one
third of what the goods cost us. The
merchant at Tacoma treated us nicely
and gave MS a square deal and deliv-
cred our goods free at dock. The
fact of the business is, the steamboat
company is deliberately robbing it's
patrons in several ways:
First. By charging for space instead
OF by weight.
Second. By not measuring space
correctly, but leaving a lot of space to
guess work.
Third. By charging storage for goods
waiting In the warehouse to be loaded
when 1t IL their duty TO load it.
This party is well outftted and all
intend to stay q year or nor and
something certainly win come of it.
The entire party are well and in
good spirits. We stopped at Seattle,
Port Townsend and Vancouver to pick
up passengers and freight.

The Coombs Incident.

ktutA hC 49, obb.
The Coombs incident is closed. DR..
Coombs has been exonerated and Is
reinstated to the position of superin-
tendent of the asylum. Those who
were against the doctor from the start
will probably continue to oppose him
and those who had always opposed
Gov. Stephens will make the most Of
the opportunity to criticise his admin
istration. The Kansas City Star and
the Kansas City Times have gone out
of the way of truth to criticise the ac-
ton of the Board of Charities and
finally the action of the asylum board
in reinstating DIR. Coombs. Their fight
is on Gov. Stephens and It Is the poi
icy of both of these papers to use
every effort possible to bring the
present Democratic administration
into disrepute. They report that
public sentiment here is against Gov
ernor Stephens. Gov. Stephens has
more friends and better friends in CAL
laway county to-day than he had be-
fore the Coombs' investigation. A
few fellows are pretty hot because
their efforts to bring Stephens ad-
m~inistration into disrepute has fallen
