AN EHA OF PROSPERITY.
Satisfactory Condition of Things fl
the State of Washinx xtOn.

Satisfactory Condition OF Th1ngs In
the State of washington.
Ex-senator John L. Wilson Of Washing
ton state, who is paying a flying business
trip to Washington, said to a Star reporter
this afternoon that never to his knowledge
had the condition of affairs In the far
northwest been as satisfactory and as
promising as they are today.
II went into the then Washington terri
tory as a pioneer, comparatively speaking,
in 1882 and have watched the growth of
that remarkable country with the closest
attention. We have had bad times and
good times, but we are enjoying a most
welcome era Of prosperity just now. Our
crops are very large this year, and every
thing that we have to sell is bringing good
prices. Gold, silver and lead mines are all
paying well. Our lumber mills are running
night and day. and yet we are unable to
supply the demand Coal mines that two
years ago were employing two hundred men
are now employing from seven hundred to
g. thousand, and even more. Wages are
good, and l honestly believe that no man
who is willing and able to work need go
without employment.
From adyfceS that have received from
good authority, am in position to say
that the imports Of gold from Alaska this
year will be something tremendous Last
year seven million dollars in gold came
from the Klon-.ke country to the assay
Office in Seattle. ] am satisfied that the
receipts this year will greatly exceed that
amount"

ANOTHER GENERAL WANTED
Senator Nelson Thinks Otis Has Not Pushed
the Campaign.
Did Not Follow Up His VictOries-De-
lay in Senate Action Caused
the Trouble.

There seems to be strong feeling
among the people, said Senator Nelson of
Minnesota to a Star reporter today, that
Gen. Otis has not pushed the campaign in
the Philippines vigorously as should
have been done, and that it might be well
for the President to put another general in
authority.
Il telieve the people would like to see
Gen. Miles sent to the Philippines and
placed in command. There is a general
confidence in his abilities a soldier and
a campaigner.
The trouble in the Philippines seems to
have been that Gen. Otis did not follow up
his victories. ] do not think the President
or the War Department have been to blame
In the matter at all. Otis should have asked
for more men, ard should have seen to it
that when he took an insurgent stronghold
or village he had strength enough to hold
it. Look at his campaign around the lake.
All that he accomplished was practically
wiped out by failure to hold the positions.
AguinaIdO Must Be Put Down.
II do not know Gen. Otis, and personally
have no disposition to criticise him, but
think reflect the views of many people in
making these statements. Out in the west,
and. for that matter. l think the same feel
ing prevails all over the country the peo-
pie are united in demanding that Aguinaldo
quer the Filipinos before we can do any
thing with them.
After they have been forced to stop hos
tilities we can afford to be as liberal with
them as we choose. 1t may be that we can
get along all the better with them in the
future for having overcome them.
THE inception of all this trouble in
the United States Senate. The delay in the
ratification of the treaty caused the out
break. If the treaty had been ratified
promptly the Filipinos would have realized
that we were presenting a united front,
and would have accepted the benefits in
tended for them
THE dillydallying of the opposition sena-
tors not only gave the F'ilipinos an incor-
rect impression of the attitude of this
country, but also afforded them time to
prepare for war. The only thing to do
now is to whip them into subsection, and
the people would like to see that done as
soon as possible
Troops Do Not Complain.
Senator Nelson was asked whether the
Minnesota troops in the Philippines had
complained to any extent.
II do not think so. / think our boys are
contented to remain and fight as long as
may be necessary. From my own town a
number of young men enlisted and 1 have
not heard word of complaint. The only
protest we have had was from some moth
ers and other relatives whose sons or rela-
tons had enlisted without their consent
They have formed an auxiliary to try to
get the boys out, and they have made the
only trouble of which T have heard

THE STORY DENIED.

Mgr. MartinelH Not to Re Recalled to
Rome.
At the apostolic delegation an emphatic
denial was given today to the published
special dispatches stating that Mgr. Marti-
nelli, the papal delegate here, had been re-
called to Rome, and that he would here
after be chief secretary of the propaganda
To show the baseless character Of the re-
port, the fact is cited that information has
recently come of the appointment Of Mgr.
Luigi Veecia as chief secretary of the
propaganda The entire story is dismissed
as an invention.

MISSED OMAHA'S RECEPTION.
Trains Delays Compelled Tenth Pennsyl-

vanla TO Run kighr through.
OMAHA, August &c. The four trains
bearing the Tenth Pennsylvania regi-
ment passed through this city this
evening. 1t was first expected they
would arrive at a. m. and spend the
day in the city, and elaborate arIgange-
ments for entertaining the soldiers
were necessarily abandoned. but an
immense crowd waited patiently around
the depot to at least give the boys a
cheer as they passed through. When
finally the first section came in sight
of the South Omaha depot the whistles
on factories and shops in Omaha and
South Omaha gave it very noisy well
come, thousands OF people fiocking to
the depot.
The big viaduct which spans the
tracks, the streets close to the depot
and the wide platforms of both the
Union Pacific and Burlington depots
were packed solid with cheering hui
mainly as the train pulled in.
The reception committee and the la
dies organization present in the few
minutes of the stay gave the soldiers
lunch, bunch of flowers and badge.
The crowd outside the cars cheered
and the soldiers inside took up the re-
frain. There was a wild time while it
lasted. and the Pennsylvania boys real
lied that they had missed mighty
warm time through the delay OF the
trains.
The same programme was gone
through as each of the successive trains
paossed through.

DEWEY'S SUGGESTIONS
the Big Demonstration Pre-
pared In His Honor.


NEW YORK, August 26.-The execu-
tive committee of the Dewey reception
committee received two letters from
Admiral Dewey. In tn first, dated
Leghorn, August 16, he says.
Il shall without fail reach the lower
bay on Friday, September 29, and shall
anchor there for the night to be ready
for the official arrival and naval parade
on the following morning, Saturday,
the 30th. While l should be gratifed
to meet any of my friends in the navy
and especially the commanding officers
OF the ships engaged at Manila May l.,
1898. feel that this matter of invita-
ton should be left entirely with the
committee.
Il would suggest that at the end of
the display of fireworks off the Battery,
the OLYMPIA should return TO North
river and anchor off Twenty-sixth
street. While your letter seems to in
dictate that the battalion of the Olym-
pia would lead in the land parade. still
! am in some doubt. 1t would be a
qualification to me and the officers and
men of the Olympia should the Olym>
pia's battalion of about $50 men be
placed at the head of the column. In
reference to the smoker it is proposed
to give the men, that is matter that
comes within the province OF the cap
tain of the ship, but have little doubt
that he would be pleased to accept for
them.
Il am much pleased for various reasons
that you have eliminated dinner from the
programme, but thank yourself and the
committee for the careful arrangements
made to spare me unnecessary fatigue"
In the second letter written from Naples
August II. the Admiral asks that "a good,
large, military band be detailed TO lead
the Olympia's battalion at the head of the
land parade, the olympia's small band be-
ing hardly equal to the occasion. The adj
miral has been notified that his requests
will be carried out.

John &. McI.ea,

Out of SOP delegates selected, only
2S9 are instructed, as follows: Nc
Lean, 1873; Kilbourne, SO; Sherwood,
SO; Seward, IL; Chapman, Z; Has
kell, 8.
OF the 513 uninstructed votes, the
Mclean men are confident of 800 max
ing the Mclean vote AIS on the first
ballot, or rs more than necessary.
After the delegates once record their
vote for their local favorites, the Nc
Lean men claim not less than As more,
making their vote 523, or 121 more
than necessary. The contested votes
will not change the result, as the con-
tests are said to be between Mclean
men mostly. The principal contest is
over the 81 votes in Cuyahoga county.
