A TRIP OUT EAST,
An Interview With One of Our

Hon. J. B. Trulock, who for the past twenty days has been sojourn- ing in the East. returned Wednes- day. Mir. TruIock looks very much i'm proved in health and is in good spir- it's. When asked yesterday concern. ing the business outlook ia the East as compared with this section, he said "The business houses of tbe East are doing 8 business hereto fore unprecedented. They not only are busy during the long days, but to accommodate the trade are com pelled to keep open day and night The several manufacturing estab- fshmtnts are constantly running, demonstrating a.ready that business in the East continues to progress and plenty of work is ever oQ hand.
 The reporter then asked him re- gardi0g the sentiment concerning Capt. Alfred Dreyfus, the captain of artillery, who was recently pardon i ed. Mr. TFulock sad, Everybody feels aud believes Dreyfus to be in- uocent. The same expressions are given vent to in the East as are here in Pine BluG. Undoubtedly the man was victim of some plot; but am infoFmei that he has been pardoned. It was due Dreyfusi the only means of placing the army in tbe right light and the last resort. France had to restore her prisoner $ good name for rendering justice as it should be meted out.
 He was then asked regarding the Dewey celebration. Qn this ques- tion Mr. TruIock gathered fnforma- tion both novel and interesting. ISaid he .'Tbe day that Admiral Dewey lands will be tie greatest eyer known in this country and will be witnessed by an immense con course of people. \ New York pa per, said he, estimates daily that 4,000, ,000 people will witness the celebration.
 The paper aforesaid further es- inmates that New York will reap 8 benefit of SIP, 300, GOO daily this will last for th~ee days. On Fifth ave- nue the grand Triumphal arch is be. ing erected. It is magnificent. This is where the big parade will pass in full review of the crowd when it is in perfect order. There has been a room on this corner with only two windows in it, rented by 20 persons, costing them $500 for one day, the day of the parade. /" Mr. Truloek is one of our progres sive and phlanthropic citizens and slnce his trip looks much improved. The reason he did not remain for the Dewey celebration Is that busl- ness at home demanded his atten-
 tion.

The elections in Puerto Rico are pro-

The people are looking forward anx.

question OF civil government. Many
expect that Puerto Rico will be inn

take more conservative view of the
subject. The Boletin Mercantil, COM
menting on the subject says;
"The form OF civil government for
Puerto Rico will undoubtedly be the
one recommended by President McKin-
ley In his annual message to congress.
With the expectation OF the highest

is not known yet, the appointments
will BE- distributed among the most
capable Puerto Ricans and Americans"

Crew OF Freight Train on q Northern
Pacific Branch.
Lewiston, Idaho, Dec. 19.-Piled up
at the bottom of Kendrick hill on the
Northern Pacific branch are two en-.
gines and 10 cars loaded with steel.
In houses near by are the dead bodies
of Engineers Arthur E. Balm and John
A. Ogden. Fireman Earl Bradshaw and
Brakeman A. Bulge, Of Spokane, and
John Peterman, also of Spokane, fat
ally injured.
The train was an extra with a load
Of steel for the Northern Pacific extern
sion. The rails were covered with ice
and snow, and in descending the long
grade leading into Kendrick the train
got out of control of the trainmen and
dashed madly down the steep grade,
about Z O'Clock this evening. A mile
and half east of Kendrick four cars
were ditched, and the track was torn
mp for a quarter of mile. When the
rest of the flying train struck the yards
tho engines and al TIE uofo
ditched and completely wrecked, and
the track there torn up for 200 yards.
Wrecking trains have been sent from
Spokane and Lewiston.
The Kendrick grade is one of the
steepest in the Northwest. Control of
the train was lost at the head of the
grade and then the engines started on
their mad five-mile run in the dark.
None of the fated crew have lived to
tell the story of their awful sensations
while being swept on to death.

Hartford have refused to sign articles

the government charges them for the

years she has been fully restored, and
is now being fitted out for cruise to
New York, where she will be used as a
training-ship. The men are badly
needed in the service.

tions of the state in an effort to buy up
next years clip. In the Rainier re-

SHOT WIFE AND SONS.
Jealous Man Then Sent Bnllet Through
His Own Head.

Tacoma, Dec. 18.-Adam Crist de-
liberaJely shot his wife fatally, killed
his S-year-old son, seriously wounded
second son, aged 5 years, and then
ended the tragedy by putting bullet
through his own brain. Jealousy is the
only motive assigned for the crime.
Crist is the proprietor of the Chicago
house, and returned this morning from
a six months business trip to Spokane.
He was at the hotel during the
morning, and apparently in the best of
health and spirits. About 2 o'clock
In the afternoon he went to Pacific
avenue pawnbroker and purchased two
revolvers. He stopped few doors
away at a drug store and bought 20
eonts' worth Of vit~ioi. H. aa4vs.t hove
proceeded directly home, for the shoot
ing occurred only few moments later.
Crist was in the hotel kitchen, on
the second floor, when his wife was
called to the head of the stairs to talk
to a peddler. After the interval of a
few moments he sent the younger child
to ask her to come to the kitchen.
Immediately afterward four shots were
fired, all of which were found to have
taken effect in her body. He then
burned the revolver on the little boy
and wounded him in the leg, but the
child managed to crawl down the stairs
and escape.
The woman staggered to the side
walk and Crist went into the hall,
where he caught the 8-year-old boy.
There are no witnesses to this part of
the tragedy, but from the position of
the bodies Crist must have held the lad
close to him while he put bullet
through his heart. A Al -caliber bullet
through his own head followed, and
both bodies fell to the floor, still
clasped in each others arms.

Rowing Bands Capture Supplies Sen

Rowing Bands Capture Supplies Sent
for Mexican Soldiers.
Austin, Tex, Dec. 20.-A special
from Ortiz, state of Sonora, Mexico,
states that the Mexican authorities are
contemplating sending more troops into
the Yaqui Indian country at once, as
it is thought that the present force will
not be able to cope with the situation.
General Torres now has some 5000
men, but it will take at least that many
more, or possibly twice that number,
owing to the geographical conditions
surrounding the uprising, which pre-
vents successful military movements.
The Indians are 30 scattered that un-
less some troops are sent to the front to
engage the small rowing bands, they
will continue to depredate the country
and harass the soldiers under General
Torres until they wear them out. There
are now about 1900 Indians engaging
the attention of the soldiers, while the
remainder Of the 5000 braves who are
on the war path have scattered into
small, rowing bands, for the purpose Of
pilfering. These rowing bands OF In
dlans are capturing supply JrXIns sent
out to the Mexican forces in the field.
They have of late captured several
trains containing provisions and am.
munition.

SOUTH PACIFIC STATION.
Latest Developments Make Its Estab-

lishment Necessary.
New York, Dec. 20.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says: In
view of the number of flag officers
available for sea duty, there is reason
to believe that South Pacific station
will be established as soon as condi-
tions in the Philippines admit of the
withdrawal of some of the ships now
under Rear-Admiral Watson's COM
mand.
The importance of q feet on the
western coast of South America has
been thoroughly appreciated in naval
circles, but because OF the limited
number of ships and flag officers it had
not been possible to maintain station
there, and for this reason the Pacific
was placed under the command of one
officer. The extension of American
sovereignty over some of the Samoan
Islands and the prospective establish
ment of coaling station in the Gala
pagos group are indications of the South
Pacific in the eyes of the officials.
Orders have been issued by the navy
department directing that the battle.
ship Massachusetts,, as we'll as the In.
diana, be placed in reserve at the
League island navy yard. The Massa'
chusets is now undergoing repairs al

large crew on board each of these yes.
sells and to retain their present com.
manding officers. They will be kept il
condition for immediae sea service.
The men obtained from the battleshipi
will be used for service on board the
battleships Kearsarge and Kentucky,
when they are placed in commission
early in the new year.

London, Dec. 1S.-The war office ha.

General Butler has met with serious re.
verse, losing ii guns. General Butler
was attempting to cross the Tugela
river. Finding it impossible to effect
his object, he ordered a retirement in
order to avoid greater losses. He left
III guns behind.
The following is the text of General
Buffers dispatch announcing the re-
verse:
Butler to Lansdowne: Chevely
Camp, Dec. 18.-I regret to report a
serious reverse. | moved in full
strength from our camp near Chevely
at 4 O'Clock this morning. There are
two fordable places in the Tugela river,
and 1t was my intention to force a pas
sage through at one Of them. They are
about two miles apart. My intention
was to force one or the other with one
brigade, supported by central brigade.
General HART was to attack the left
drift, General Hildyard the right road,
and General Littleton was to take the
center and to support either.
Early In the day saw that General
Hart would not be able to force a pas
sage, and / directed him to withdraw.
He had, however, attacked with great
gallantry, and his leading battalion,
the Connaught rangers, fear, suffered
was seriosly wounded.
1--WE have abandoned 10 guns and
lost by shell-fire one. The losses in
General Hunts brigade are, fear, very
heavy, although the proportion of
severely wounded, hope, is not large.
The Fourteenth and Sixty-ninth field
batteries also suffered severe losses.
1--WE have retired to our camp at
Chevely."
