The troubles OF the big transcontinental
daily loads of anxious gold hunters and
tourists in Seattle are not confined TO the
strip Of land between the Cascade noun
tains and Puget sound. and the fact that

that the Great Northern did not send out
or get in any trains, is due 10 other than
ioca! causes
The Northern Pacific has a bridge down
az Lake station and washout In Eastern
Washington. and the Great Northern mas
mud slide on the east slope of the Cas-

ADJUSTMENTS.
Tonight Is the NiRht.

There are many surprises in store for the
big audience that is sure 10 be a the Sc
attic theater tonight. the occasion being
the first of a four nights engagement of
Mr.. Otto Ceilings bright travesty, "A
Mid-Winter Nights Dream" which was
so cleverly mounted three years ago for
the benefit of the Seattle Athletic Club,
and for which organization 1t is again to
be given. Those who remember the piece
as il was originally presented will scarce
ly remember the production as 1t is now
only the story upon which the lines were
hung, the principal characters and the
central idea about which so much has
been woven, remaining. There are new
songs, ballots and specialties. a fund Of
up-to-date wit and so much that is differ
ent from the old piece that those who
were entirely familiar with il will find
much to enjoy in "A Mid Winter Nights
Dream In its new dress From a wealth
of talent that is'in a great degree natural
and spontaneous, Mr.. Ceilings has molsed
a finished and rounded performance. Well
known club and society young men will
play the NEUROLOGICAL characters, and the
production from spectacular and scenic
standpoint will be all that the most ex-
acting could demand The costumes are
bright and appropriate. and the ensemble
will reveal a close study of color effects
that Will delight the eye. The choruses
are all to be well sung. and that particu-
lar feature was brought out at the dress
rehearsal that was held last night The
cast of characters is as follows:
Theseus. Duke of Athens, in love with

he the Result-There Are Plenty
to Register Some Figures.

There is lively chase going on in this
city these days after the almighty dollar,
but some people do not know that this
same busy scramble has so diverted atten-
ton from municipal politics that the regis
trarioa of voters for the approaching city
election bids fair to be the highest for
years. The total registration up to yes
tsrday evening was a little less than 5,voo
and 200 registered.
The plain. truth is. that in spite of the
fact that upon the result of the coming
city election may depend in a great de-
gree the future prosperity of the city. and
therefore of it's citizens. the BUSINESS
men, mechanics. artisans and laborers are
now so busiiy employed in reaping the
harvest of the Alaska trade that they
srudge the few moments necessary to reg
lister, and as result the clerks III the
registration bureau at the city hall dip
their pens afresh iii the ink and wait for
business OF course, they get some but it
is deadly slow coming" as curb-stone
politician expressed it.
There are clerks enough TO register
without delay all who apply. and If they
become oyerworked, more will be en-
ployed. so that no one can be excused for
failing to register on the ground that Ii
takes too long" The bureau is now
open from O'Clock in the morning until
3 O'Clock in the evening and If there is a
demand for it, the books VIII be kept
open later. The books will be closed Feb
ruary Is at midnight, and but seven days
more remain for registration.

CUBAN ALLIES.
They Are Rendering Good Service
to American Forces.

WASHINGTON, June 21.-The Navy
Department continues to hear from
Admiral Sampson. The reports last
received speak of the satisfactory con-
dition of affairs, and particularly draws
attention to the continued good work
being done by the Cubans.
The Admiral says he now has about
LOCO Cubans, fully armed, engaged IN
the bushwhacking work. which has
proved SO effective in protecting the
marines and in preparing the way for
the American troops. This force of
Cubans is quite apart from the regular
force under Generals Rabi and Garcia.
and is detached body of guerrillas,
which is cooperating with our naval
forces, rather than with the army.
The extent to which the Cubans have
jbeen exposed to action is shown bv
the report reaching the Navy Depart
ment that thirty wounded Cubans have
been placed on the Solace. This is be-
lieved TO be considerably more than
the wounded from the American ma
rines. Later the hospital ship Relief
will relieve the Cuban wounded. as the
Relief is an army ship, and the work
of the CubanS is looked upon as more
properly coming under the direction of
the army. But pending the arrival of
the Relief, no distinction will be made
between Americans and Cubans. army
or navy. in the relief which the Solace
is able to extend. She will wait for a
full load of sick and wounded before
coming north, as the desire of the de-
partment is to take away all of the dis
abled before the most severe period CT
the summer heat comes on.
