A'sms OF General Interest Cleaned
From the Thriving Pacific
States.
Salmon Trust Being Formed.

A seattle dispatch says a large Chi.
cago syndicate is lust about to close a
deal by which it will secure all, or
most all, Of the fishtraps of Puget
sound. The organization has secured
options on traps which catch seven
tenths of the fish found in Puget sound.
1t is believed it will continue to pur-
chase other traps until it will have con
trolled the total output. In addition
to the fishtraps there are options held
on two canneries, and it is understood
that an effort is being made to secure
others. In fact, the ultimate purpose of
the syndicate is said to be the absolute
control of both salmon catching and
salmon canning.

TAKES NEWS CALMLY.
No Disorders in Paris Followed the
Death of Faure.

Paris, Feb. 20. Everything is quiet
in Paris tonight. There is no danger
of a coup d'etat. The favorite candi-
date for the presidency is M. Emile
LOubet, now president of the senate.
Still the ministers think Faure's death
is misfortune at the present juncture,
and this is the conventional talk.
They had all looked forward to his re-
signing, and they spoke today of the
possible effect of his death on the
courts Of Europe.
If M. Loubet be elected, European
sovereigns would soon transfer to him
their friendly regards. He is good,
unaffected, level.headed man of hon.
est, open life, and of far more intel
lectual culture than poor Faure. He
is an advocate and practiced at the
Montilemar bar, in the department of
the Drone. Montilemar is his native
town.

1t Caused a Long Debate in the Ma
tional House.
Washington, Feb. 18.-In the house
today the senate amendments to the
agricultural bill were nonconcurred in.
and the bill was sent to conference.
Without further preliminary business,
the house went into committee Of the
whole. and resumed consideration Of
the sundry civil bill.
When the paragraph appropriating
$40, 900, 900 for the payment to Spain
under the treaty of Paris was reached,
Wheeler made point Of order against
it. His point of order was that the
paragraph was obnoxious to rule 81,
invoked yesterday against the Nicaragua
canal amendment. II the treaty OF
Paris was completed, if it was vital
lied by the ratification of the Spanish
cortes and the exchange of ratifioations
had taken place, he confessed that the
treaty would be the law of the land
and the amendment would be In order.
He cited numerous decisions of the gu.
preme court in support of his position.
Then followed long debate on that
portion of the bill, and without get
ting beyond that point the house ad-
jOurned.

PRESIDENT FAURE IS DEAD.
Lived But a Few Hours
After Being Stricken.
DEATH CAUSED BY APoPLExY
Measures Have Been Taken to Suppress
Disorders When the Public Should
Learn the News.

Paris, Feb. 18.-President Faure
died from apoplexy tonight.
1t has been known for some time
that his health was weak, but the first
intimation that he was sick was given
at half past 6 this afternoon, when a
message was dispatched to the pre-
mier, M. Dupuy, announcing that the
president was i'll. M. Dupuy immedi-
ately repaired to the Elysee. All
medical efforts proved futile and the
president died on the stroke of 10.
1t was not until IL O'Clock that the
news began'to become known to the
general public in Paris. From this
time began continuous arrival of pub
lie men. Strict orders, however, were
issued, and only members of the cabi-
net we've admitted to the Elysee.
The report spread rapidly throughout
the city, and large crowds soon assem-
bled in the vicinity Of the palace.
1t is reported that the recently
formed league, known as La Patrie
Franchise, will actively push M. de
Beaurepaire's candidature.
Under the present exceptionally ex-
citing conditions, anything may be ex-
peCted to happen. Much depends
upon what General Zurlinden, military
governor of Paris, as the head OF the
military element, may decide to do.
M. de Freycinet has ordered the
trOOps confined to barracks TODAY.
