Political Touts at OLYMPIA.

OLYMPIA, WASH, Jan. 25.-The Wash
ington politician, big and little, is in
evidence at Olympia. It is small man
indeed, who does not impress himself
upon one or the other of the aspiring
senatorial candidates and endeavor to
demonstrate his peculiar fitness as a
"Moses" to lead the great men out of
the wilderness. In fact you will find
men here to whom, at their homes, you
would hardly give a passing thought.
Not that they are of any considerable con-
sequence in this mix-up, but the general
hustle they assume and the mysterious
manner they surround themselves with
has its impressive effect. Besides that
they aid in putting few dollars into
circulation-no. matter where they get
it-and that is not an unmIxed evil.
But so long as aspiring candidates for
positions like the United States senate
will persist in surrounding themselves
with every small-fry politician, whose
influence is the merest pretense, 80 long
will these touts be in evidence. Olym-
pia is full of them Each of the several
headquarters are surrounded. If one
takes occasion to speak to Tom Hume,
Wilson knows about it through his
touts in five minutes afterward. And
so it goes.
From present indications Ankeny or
Wilson will be the next senator.

New YORK, Jan. ga dispatch to
the Tribune from Havana says: Gen
eral Lee returned to camp to night from
trip to the southeastern part of the
province, ending at Guines, which is the
next largest town after Havana. The
journey to Guines was made with team
of mules along the highway and the re-
turn by rail. A battalion of the Fourth
Illinois preceded General Lee, and was
encamped there upon his arrival. A
battalion of the Second Louisiana reach
ed Guines before his departure.
The American troops were welcomed
everywhere, and their presence was
made the occasion of demonstrations.
General Lee received an enthusiastic
welcome at Guines. Insurgent troops
escorted him, and the town was decor
ated with American and Cuban flags.
A public reception was given in the
council chamber, of which General Lee
took advantage to explain his functions,
which he was delighted with as military
governor of the province. He eaid he
was exercising functions which per-
tanned to temporary military occu-
pancy that the American soldiers came
as friends; that there was no disposition
on the part of the United States govern
ment to interfere with the Cubans in
the management of the affairs of the
island; that its only purpose was to as

TO RE-
LEASE PRISONERS
Representation Made That Filipinos
Are Mistreating Them, and That
This Government Is in Duty Bound
to Set Them Free.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says !:
Through the French EN- bassy here Spain
has again urged the United States to
procure the release of Spanish prisoners
held by the Philippine insurgents. In
formation officially received by the
Madrid government from the Philippine
shows that the lives of Spanish women
and children, as we'll as men, are in
danger and that the prisoners are not
receiving proper treatment. The Span
ish government called attention to that
provision of the treaty requiring this
government to use its good Offices to pro-
cure the release of the prisoners and
urged the United States to do every
thing possible.
Secretary Hay replied that General
Otis had been instructed to give i'm
mediate attention to the matter, but
this government has made no promises
to obtain the release of the prisoners. 1t
is the growing belief that they will be
able to obtain the release of the prison
ers only by force.
Information has also been received
here showing that 500 friere, held as
prisoners, are compelled by the Filipinos
to undergo all sorts of menial labors,
such as tending to the horses of Filipino
officers, paving the streets of the town,
and SO forth.

MASTER
GOING ASHORE
Probabilities Point to the Unlucky Yes
sci Being the British Bark Gun
fOrd---Crew Quitting the Vessel.

ASTORIA, Or, Jan. 26.-A special mes
senger arriving at Seaside from Cannon
beach this morning reports that four
masted vessel was drifting ashore at Sill
yer cliff during the night. The vessels
name was not learned. She had both
anchors out, but they were dragging.
The ships boats had been lowered, and
the crew was ready to abandon her.
Two tugs left here at once to render any
assistance possible, and the cutter Perry
has received orders to go and take the
Point Adams life-saving crew.
It ls believed here that the vessel
above mentioned is the British bark
Gunford, Captain Macpherson, bound
from San Diego to Portland. This theory
is based upon the circumstances that the
Gunford was sighted off the bar three
days ago, attempting to make the en-
trance. She again stood out to sea, and
it is probable that in trying to make the
Columbia again the ship drifted out of
her course and was carried on the beach.
The fact of the Gunford being the only
our-masted vessel due to arrive here at
this time adds considerable color to the
belief that she is the Ill-fated vessel.
The Gunford left San Diego for Port
land, January 4, with half cargo of
cement, consigned to Meyer, Wilson &
Co., of this city, and who are also agents
for the vessel. The cargo comes from
Hamburg, half of it having been dis
charged at San Diego.
The Gunford is of 210s tons net regis
tered tonnage, was built in Greenwich in
1892, and is owned by the Gunford Ship
Company, Id. Her dimensions are, 281
feet length. AZ feet beam. and "a feet
depth of hold.

Sauerkraut Famine.

A sauerkraut famine is threatened
in this city. What such famine
means is not understood by those who
are not aware that sauerkraut is the
greatest popular dish of st. Louis and
occupies the place taken by beans in
Boston. 1t is estimated that more
sauerkraut is consumed here than in
Chicago, which has twice the popula-
tion of this city. Missouri soil is said
to be especially adapted to cabbage
growing, and as there are many Ger
mans in the city the consumption of
sauerkraut follows naturally. The
Germans have popularlzed sauerkraut
among their American friends until a
st. Louis house without sauerkraut Is
like home without a mother.
There were heavy frosts at the be-
ginning of the season, which killed
many plants and consequently the
cabbage crop was light When the
sauerkraut makers came into market
this fall for their raw material they
discovered this state of things.
Prices went up at a jump. Cabbages
sold by the ten year ago at from $5
to So. Now they bring SIS to $1S a
ton by the carload and are hard to get
at that
Markctmen say that this means a
bonanza for Southern truck gardeners,
particularly those of Florida, who will
begin planting oabbages next month.
By the time it is ready for market 1t
is expected that the price will be enor-

Henderson Predicts $4,000.

Hon. Eavid B. Henderson, the next
speaker of the national house of rep
resentatives,, made short speaking
tour of Ohio recently, delivering ad-
dresses in support of the Republican
ticket at four important cities of the
state to splendid audiences. while
in Ohio, Speaker-to-be Henderson was
asked frequently by newspaper men
for an opinion on the Ohio situation
and a prediction on the result He in
variably refused saying that he new
err gave an open opinion until he got
outside of the environment that
would be likely to prejudice him. So
he left Ohio without venlturing a pre-
dictiCn, but when he got back to Iowa,
the opinion had evidently crystalized
and he made the following statement
to the Dubuque Zines:
"The Republican state ticket will
carry Ohio by $4,000 majority" declar-
ed the next speaker confidently
There is not, in my mind, the slight
est doubt of sweeping success. 1t is
important that the Republican major
ity in Ohio this year shows no falling
Off for if it does the fact will be
seized upon by Democrats all over the
country and exploited as disapproba-
tion of the Republicans of Ohio of the
Presidents policy in the Philippines.
"a big Republican majority in Ohio
will show the satisfaction of the peo-
pie with the administration and with
conditions which have brought so
much prosperity to the land and so
much happiness to the country's
homes"

Setting Trees.

People have often made mistakes by
buying from unreliable firms, but
greater mistakes by not taking care of
what they have bought. In setting
trees, dig a hole twice as deep as you
want the tree In the ground; hll in
with good rich top soil one half the
depth and set the tree firmly; tramp
down the roots well, cutting off all
bruised roots and your tree will be
pretty sure to live. Then you must
cultivate your trees; give them nour-
ishment as they require. Who would
plant corn and no. look at 1t again un-
til harvest time and expect a crop?
Yet find 80 per cent of our farmers
expect this same thing from trees,and
then blame the nurseryman for which
they are themselves to blame. The
same is true of seeds. Don't buy and
plant what you don't take care of, If
You Wish to succeed.

Attitude Of the Commercial
Travellers.

The persistent Misrepresentation
Of She attitude of the commercial trav-
elers toward the administration by
The Enquirer and other Democratic
newspapers has called forth vigorous
protests from me fraternity. An open
letter, signed by some thirty com
mercial travellers of this city, and pub
llshed in 4he State Journal, refutes
the Democratic falsehoods and defines
clearly the attitude of the travellers.
The Democratic newspapers have
persistently asserted that so many
travelling men have been thrown out
of employment by the trusts that they
are up in arms agalns the adminis-
tration, which they hold responsible,
and that they will bolt the Republican
party in a body. In reply to this ri
diculous assertion the commercial
travellers say:
Out of total membership of 355 in
Council No /, United Commercial
Travellers, this city, there is but one
man today, Oct 2S, cut of position.
This year has been one of rising mark
els, which have made better percent
ages for travelling men on commits
sion. Better salaries are Icing paid to
men travelling on a straight salary.
Any man with ability and an estab-
lished trade, in other words, any man
with experience on the road, need not
be out of position. We find mer-
chants, regardless of political party,
buying more freely, paying more
promptly and in a more cheerful state
of mind generally than in the three
years since 1897. We are satisfied.
The commercial travellers protest
against any one mans private opinion
being quoted as that of the whole
fraternity They do not in any way
hold the administration responsible
for the formation of trusts, as the
Democratic newspapers have tried to
make 1t appear.
The Republican party, by the appli-
cation of sound policies, has restored
prosperity, and the commercial trav-
elers are reaping the benefits of it.
There are more travelling men on the
road today than ever before, and if
they have any complaint, say the Co
lumbus travellers, it is a good-natured
one, because of the large number of
men on the road and the time often
lost in consequence, by waiting to gain
the ear of customer.
We have strong faith in the indie
pendence and strong -mindedness of
the commercial travellers, and believe
they will stand in the present cam
paign as they stood in 1896, for protec
tion and sound money, and a continu
ance Of the present prosperity. The
commercial travellers will resent by
their votes the gross misrepresenta
lions to which they have Deen subject
ed by the Democratic newspapers

The object Of the petition was to bring

The screwmakers at the shops of the
Acme Sucker Rod company, Toledo,
of which Sam Jones, the alleged nom
partisan candidate for governor is
the president, are nonunion men,
Some time ago a committee of union
screwmakers we're appointed to try
to organize the screwmakers in the
Jones shop. One of the members of
the committee was w. f. Rausch, sec
retary of the International Bicycle
Workers, and a well known Dmocrat
OF Toledo. A member of the committee
tells how it happens that the screw
makers in the establishment of the
Acme Sucker Rod company are still
nonunion men.
He says the committee called to in
terview the screwmakers, but the SUI
perintendent gave them cold reception
they could not see the men. They
made a second attempt to confer with
the employees, and succeed in securing
the consent of one of the men, to
make an application for membership
Disguised with the result of their Wis
it, the committee called upon Sam
Jones, president of the concern, to see
what could be done. They desired his
assistance in the work of unionizing
the shop. They had heard so much
abou- the friendship of Jones for or
ganized labor, and expected that he
would fully cooperate with the com
mlttee along the line desired. But
Jones would not talk TO the committee
nor to the men about joining the un
ion. He said that he did not care
whether they belonged to the union or
not. He absolutely refused 10 do any
thing about the matter. The single
man who had agreed to join the union
on the occasion of the second trip of
the committee to the Jones shop never
showed up for initiation. He had
probably got tip that he ought to
stay out of the union. AT any rate
there is not union screwmaker in the
shop now, nor has there ever BEEN
