THE contest for Democratic leader
of the House of Representatives is
growing warm. The leading candi-
dates are DeArmond, of Missouri;
Richardson, of Tennessee, and Bank
head of Alabama. At present Rich
ardson is unquestionably in the lead,
and his friends predict with conf
dence that he will be chosen. AL
though the minority nomination for
Speaker of the House is somewhat of
an empty honor, yet it carries with it
titular leadership upon the floor, and
puts the man so honored in direct
line for nomination for Speaker,
should his party afterwards get con-
troll. Richardson is justly regarded as
one of the best parliamentarians in
the House, and under his leadership
the Republicans will find difficult
work in keeping matters all their own
way.

Gen. McKenny's Will.

The provisions of the last will of the
late Gen. L. ]. McKenny has been filed
in the office of the County Clerk. 1t
is witnessed by DR.. Ostrander and Ed.
A. Stevens. Its provisions, briefly
stated, are as follows:
Decedant bequeathes all his prop
erty and effects, whether real or per-
sonal, to his wife Cynthia McKenny,
subject to provisions stated. Mrs. Me-
without bond, and she is given power
to make any disposition of the proper,
ty her judgment may dictate. She is
given power to associate with her Fred
X. Brown, who is mentioned as a close
friend of the deceased. The associa-
ton OF Mr.. Brown in the management
of the estate is, however, optional, but
should his services be called for, he
shall be paid for same at rate to be
settled upon by himself and the execu-
trix. The executrix is given power to
pay all taxes and other debts as she
may determine best.
The deceased gives to each OF his
children, Ida McKenny Reed, Samuel
Mckenny, William McKenny and
Margaret McKenny, the sum of 500
as soon as the money is realized from
the estate, provided Margaret shall
not receive her allotment until she is
OF age. To his grandchildren, Irving
Mckenny Reed and Elizabeth Reed,
he gives the sum of $500 each for the
purpose of educating them. These
sums are to be held in trust by the ex-
ecutrix, who shall disburse them as
she sees fit. To Fred r. Brown he
gives his set of 26 volumes of Apple
toms Encyclopaedia and the gold
headed cane presented to deceased by
the citizens of Olympia. The execu-
trix is given power to give to any of
the children such sums as she may
deem best, such sums to be deducted
from said children's share at the time
of the death Of the executrix. The
last clause of the will states that
should any of the heirs contest the
will they shall forfeit their rights
under its terms.

A WASHINGTON dispatch of the Goth

A WASHINGTON dispatch of the Goth
says that gold standard men are push
ing q scheme to secure legislation be-
fore the committees are appointed,
and before the holiday recess. Gene.
raj Henderson and the President, it is
said, have reached an agreement that
such move would be best, and if it
can secure the favorable Endorsement
of the Republican caucus, it is to be
put through. One reason given by
the ardent gold-standard advocates
for this move is to put an end to the
attempt of certain weakened Sena-
tors to postpone or prevent legislation.
And still the small-fry politicians, like
Oily, insist that the monetary question
is a dead issue!

THAT Mckinley, in his forthcoming
message, will propose legislation
against the trusts is limited at, but it
will be difficult for him to impress
the country with the sincerity of his
attitude. There is a well.grounded
belief that the question of trusts and
the existence of enormous campaign
funds are interviewer. With the
Chairman o! the Republican Cam.
paign Committee defending the
trusts, it is not hard to see what eff
feet the Mckinley TRADE against
trusts will have on Congress.

THE Port Townsend Leader thinks
it has good grounds for the belief that
the Port Angeles Eastern will, sooner
or later absorb the little road with
great (pasD expectations, the stub
train with the high sounding name
the Port Townsend Southern. The
Leader bases its opinion an admission
OF President Cushing of the Port
Angeles Eastern, that such deal was
among the probabilities.

of Secretary Gage to purchase bonds,
announced on the 18th inst, was

Wreck of an Old-Time Ship.

The wreck Of the barkentinc Jane
y. Falkenberg seems like the loss of
an old'time friend to many OF the an
cofy che-chdkos Of Puget Sound. She
was wrecked on the Northern Pacific
Coast, and was found off Cape Flat
terry by the tug Lorne, this week and
towcd into Esquimalt harbcr. The
officers and crew had been picked up
by the steamer Walla Walla, and the
only live object found on the ship was
a black cat, which literally "camc
back and was the only living object
found aboard that had survived the
catastrophe.
The Falkenberg was built at New
Bedford, Mass, in 1854. She came to
this coast the succeeding year and at
once entered upon her active career of
usefulness. For several years she ran
between Portland and Honolulu, and
the Sound and that destination, and
afterwards between the Sound and
San Francisco. She often in the early
days laid upon the beach at point
that is now the junction of Second
and Columbia streets, TO discharge
freight and take in lumber RATED
from the little mill at Tumwater.
The Live Yankee and Sarah Warren
were contemporaneous ships which
then did the business with the Sound,
with Olympia for the entrepot, the
custom-house being here in the early
Sos. In fact, Olympia was then about
the only place on the Sound, Stella
COON being her only rival and COM
petitor.
The Falkenberg's first trip after ar
rival on the coast was to Manila and
she made the trip in 80 days which
compares favorably with the time OF
some of the government steamers,
pressed into the service as transports
during the war with Spain. She was
115 days making the trip to San Fran
cisco from San Francisco, which is
likewise fair record.
She was owned shortly after arrival
on this coast by Capt. George Flavcl,
of Portland, who commanded her in
person several trips. In 1874 she
made run from Honolulu to Astoria
in II days and 10 hours, which record
remains unbeaten. One trio from AS
toria to SaE Francisco was made by
her in three and half days.
The ship was undertaken when
towed into harbor, or she would prob
ably have laid her bones in the bot
tom of the sea, and it was the value of
her cargo and the opportune arrival of
the tug which saved her from the
odium of becoming a derelict and
menace to service in which she had
served during so many years OF useful
ness.

Then and Now.

1t appears that astronomers are

regarding the return of the Leonids to
the solar system. Even in the most

corded that when the astronomers
Hiang-See and Ha-Wo predicted to.
tai solar eclipse that failed to darken
the heavens at the appointed time,
they were promptly beheaded by order
of the enraged Emperor. The eclipse
occurred, however, but not in time to
constitute the right number on the
programme of the Emperor's grand
reception. After the death of the un.
fortunate astronomers, it was ascer.
tanned by their successors that Hang
See and Ha-Wo had made the proper
calculations to the final issue, but
their fingers had become SO shaky

rice hook or imperial brandy, that
they could not put the finishing
touches on their mysterious symbols.
Have our American astronomers

THE new torpedo boat Dahlgren, on
her official examination at Bath, Me-,
a few days ago failed to develop the
minimum speed required by contract
-30a knots an hour. On her first
trial Of eight mile-trips she developed
from 2l.9S to 1910 knots. At her
very best, few days afterwards, with
all conditions favorable, she made but
3O.OO75 knots. During this trial, an
unserviceable fuel was used, which
caused flame 10 feet high to belch
from her tunnels, and dense volume
of smoke was left in her wake, both OF
which results incapacitate her for the
naval service, affording literally pill

day to lead the enemy up to success

out of the way. The penalty of

seems to prevail that she should have
been rejected by the board.

due to an utter want of appreciation

Death Of Vice President Hobart.

Vice President Hobart died at Pat

death was not unexpected, however, as
the premonitions of weeks past have
shown what would be the inevitable

very short time. Still the announce
ment sends thrill of sorrow through
the hearts of people who are so near
those charged with the administration
OF public affairs.

graduated at Rutgers College in 1868.
