South Dakota volunteers at Aberdeen, on
their return from the Philippines, that we

is well that the president made that state

gained from a casual review of the news

ALONG THE COAST.
Items Of General Interest Cleaned
From the Thriving Pacific
States.

Conditions in all lines of industry in
the Pacific Northwest this fall are in
exceptionally fine shape and indica-
tions are that next year will see an ac-
tivity not hitherto found here. Even
now we have indications from different
sources that there are preparations be-
ing made for doing large amount of
railroad building, harbor improve
ment, mining, etc., besides much work
that must be done to keep pace with
growing demands in these sections, and
as result of all this it is safe to pre-
dict that there can be no idle men
through the winter, nor during next
summer. In some sections the demand
needing them have difficulty in secur.
ing them, Notwithstanding that the
wages offered are higher than ordinary.
Nearly all men who are able and will
ing to work can secure employment,
and there is no excuse for idle men
from now on. Those who may have
been affected by the closing down OF
h0aii ~ aii tio ehihSio HILLS Iocehtiy
can secure temporary work elsewhere
during the time their mills are closed,
if they so desire, and men coming from
the East looking for work should have
no difficulty in securing plenty of work
at good wages. OF course, it is not ex-
pected that there will be so great a de-
mand for skilled labor as for the ordi.
nary, on account of the skilled artisans
and regular employees of the factory and
on the farm holding their positions
right along. but that class of workmen
who generally do not secure work for
all the year and are anxious to keep
busy during the winter months may
find work in abundance at good wages.

Lieutenant James Munro.

Lieutenant James n. Munro Fourth
United States cavalry, who made the
successful bluff, while in command
OF so men of his troop, which resulted
in the capture of Bayombong, with 500
armed insurgents, under General CO.
non, is well-known in Walla Walla,
where he was stationed in 1897. When
the war with Spain began he was left
in command of the fort at that place,
being the only officer at the garrison
for several months. He chafed under
his enforced absence from the field OF
battle, and repeatedly said that if given
a chance he would do something to
make his name known. One of his ex-
pressions was, "If / get chance I'll
show them trick with a hole in it,"
He was delighted when the order came
last spring for him to take his troop to
the Philippines. That he carried out
his promise 'to show them a trick
with hole in it, is made very evil
dent by his capture of 16 armed insur-
gents for every man in his command.
Lieutenant Munro is graduate of
West Point, is small man of athletic
build, of brusque manner, and appears
when on horseback a typical cavalry
man.

Is in Favor of Taylor.

Frankfort, KY, Dec. 1.-THE state
board of elections tonight gave out its
official findings that w. S. Taylor, for
governor, and the rest of the Republic
can ticket, have been elected on the
face of the returns. Commissioners
Ellis and Pryor signed the majority re-
port, in which they held that, as a
board of canvassers. they have no right
to go behind the returns of the county
boards, that their duties are purely
ministerial as canvassers, and that the
face OF the returns, as received by them
from the counties, shows the election
of the Republican state ticket. Ac-
cordingly, the report says, certificates
of election were ordered issued to each
candidate thereon.

FIVE HOURS BATTLE.

The Filipinos Desperately Resisted
YounS's Column.
Manila, Dec. l1.-There was consid-
cradle relief in Manila when the news
was received today that General
Young's small force had arrived safely
at Vigan, province of South Ilocos, De-
cember 6. Anxiety had been felt for
General Young and the garrison at vi
gan since it was known that General
Tino had a large, aggressive body of
insurgents operating in the vicinity.
General Tino made stand in the
mountain pass between Narvacan and
the position was augmented by trenches
and pitfalls. The fight lasted five
hours.
General Young had three companies
of the Thirty fourth infantry, under
Lieutenant-C Colonel Howse, and two
troops of the Third cavalry, Captain
Swigert. He was reinforced during
the fight by Colonel Hare, with bat
talon of the Thirty-third, en- route to
Vigan. General Young ended the fight
by charging and routing the enemy,
who left 25 dead and several rifles and
thousands OF rounds of ammunition in
the trenches. The enemy employed
artillery. Only one American was
seriously wounded.
The uprising in the island of Negros
was led by the police of La Corlata
district, where there is small Ameri.
can garrison. The police inspired
false reports OF insurgent victories in
Luzon and Panay. There are $50 ma.
tive police in Negros, who are armed
with Springfield rifles.

They May BE Vice-admlrals.

New York, Dec. ia special to
the Herald from Washington says:
President Mckinley, during an inter-
view with Senator Wellington, ex-
pressed himself in favor of reviving the
grade of vice-admiral in the interest
of both Rear-Admiral Sampson and
Rear-Admiral Schley. He believes
that this is the simplest solution of the
whole Sampson Schley controversy,
and it is expected that Senator Well
ington will introduce bill in a few
days providing for the appointment of
two vice-admirals without specifying
names.
The president very frankly said that
If such bill became law, he would
promptly nominate both Sampson and
Schley in the order named. This ar
rangement, both the president and Sem
stor Wellington believe, will meet the
approval of majority of the friends of
both officers.

NO HeSITANCY IN TRADE.
Usual shrInkage at End of the Year
Not Apparent.

Not Apparent.
r. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review Of
trade says: The approach OF new
year usually brings SO much of hesi-
fancy in business that the small shrink
age this year is surprising. Probably
never before have the productive forces
of the country been so largely covered
by contracts at this date, inducing
employment and profit far into the
coming year. This results not from
any mere speculative excitement, but
from actual demands for consumption
running far beyond the producing ca
pacity hereafter, and pushing it to re-
markable expansion. The increase in
foreign trade has been significant, COM
pared with the increase of S24, 900, 900
in payments through clearinghouse.
For the week the payments have been
20.3 per cent larger than last year, and
1871 per cent larger than in 1892.
Demand for cars and other railway
equipment Is enormous, and also for
shipping, both lake and ocean. Tin is
weak at 27Ac, and copper declined to
16Ac, but lead and spelter are
stronger.
Wool has advanced further, with
much speculative buying, though most
manufacturers have supplied wants for
the present, and are less disposed to
purchase at prices now averaging
higher than at any time since June 10.
1891.
Wheat has risen Sc, and corn frac-
ton, with decline in Western re-
ceipts of both. Atlantic exports OF
wheat this week, flour included, were
only 1850, 667 bushels, against $780,
767 last year, and Pacific exports $780,
172 bushels, against $685. bushels
last year.
Failures for the week have been 22l
in the United States. against 24s last
year, and 33 in Canada, against 90 last
wear,

Northwestern railroad officials, have
been held in this city within the past
week and report is again in circula-
ton to the effect that the former sys-
item will be absorbed by the latter,
which the Vanderbilts already control.

Lake Steamer Missing,

dian steamer Niagara has foundered on
Lake Erie and that all hands were lost.

one known here. The Niagara had a
cargo of lumber and shingles, bound
from Georgian bay to Buffalo. Tuesday

Northwest Notes.


The seventh annual meeting of the
Washington State Dairymen's Associa-
ton will be held at North Yakima on
December $3.50. Professor G. F.
Curtis, of the Iowa agricultural college,
will deliver addresses each day, and
other prominent dairy enthusiasts will
also take part.
The Arcata delivered at Marshfield,
last week, 100000 salmon eggs on
ice for the Rogue river hatchery These
eggs travelled nearly 1000 miles before
they reached the hatchery, although
the place where they were taken was
only 40 miles from the mouth of the
Rogue river. They went by way of
San Francisco, the wagon road being
too rough to transport them.
Most of the employees OF the suspend.
ed Washington shingle mills are now
at work repairing the buildings and
machinery of the mills. 1t was feared
that the general closing down of the
shirgle mills in this state would throw
many laborers out of work, but it has
in fact brought little hardship upon
them.

Rails For Alaska.

Heavy shipments of railroad iron
have been recently made to Seattle for
the Alaska road, and within the past
few weeks contracts have been made
by the White Pass & Yukon for the
early delivery of 1000 tons of rails,
which will be shipped from Seattle to
Skagway and Lake Bennett. This is
in addition to $500 tons already pur-
chased and which are now going for
ward. These rails will be used in the
extension of the White Pass line from
Lake Bennett to Closeleigh, a point ON
Fifty-mile river, four miles below the

lie Sued the Wagner Company and To-
ceived Damages.
New York, Dec. l1.-One OF the
most singular suits on record has just
been decided in the city court in this
city, Marcus Braun having secured
judgment against the Wagner Palace
Car Company for $3.50, as damages for
mistake made by one of tie com.
pany's conductors, who allotted a berth
already sold to Braun to woman.
When the error was discovered every
berth in the train was sold, and Braun
was compelled to sit in the smoking
compartment during trip from Cleve-
land to this city.
When Braun bought his coupon for
the berth he left his luggage in the seat
and went to the smoking compartment.
He did not return for two hours, &C
cording to his own story, but when he
did, he found the berth made up and
occupied The comments of the pas
sengcrs so injured his feelings, he says,
that a money compensation is due him,
he alleges. The woman in the berth
produced coupon which was an exact
duplicate of the coupon given Braun.

Quartz Mining I'm Alaska.

1.-THE years progress in this industry
has been most gratifying. The man
ayers of the Treadwell plant felt that
life is too short for the treatment of
that immense mass of ore with 240-
stamp mill, which had been doing duty
80 long and we'll. Accordingly they
have constructed other mills and need
full accessories thereto, and now have in
operation total of $50 stamps.
Back of Juneau, in Silver Bow
basin, quartz mining is going on vigor-
ously. The 80 stamps of the Juneau
Alaska mill have been steadily at work
during the season.
"ketchikan. on Tongas narrows, is
now the center of district in the ex-
treme southeastern portion of Alaska,
wherein is keen interest in quatr2
mining. The sea level claims are now
ready for operation and q milling plant
will soon be erected.
"The Apollo Consolidated on Unga
island, one of the Shumagin group. has
been kept steadily at work throughout
the year and has been pretty steady
producer, with 40-stamp mill, at the
rate of about $50, 900 per month.
"All the district north of Juneau,
along the mainland, is rich in quartz

The Northern Pacific will undoubt-
eddy institute double train service
between st. Paul and the coast next
April. The announcement has been
made before that the road would at
tempt double train service, but now
the rumors have given way to an au-
thoritative statement 70 that effect.
Owing to the heavy traffic it is believed
by Northern Pacific officials that a
double train service is the only solu-
ton to the present difficulties in main
tanning anything like schedule time.
