Letter From Another OLYMPIA Bow

Rudolph Schultz, whose parents re.
side in this city, and is now in the
government service on the l.. :. $
Monadnock, writes his sister, unde,
date OF Cavite, p. l., Jan. ll.h. as fol.
lows:
We are having exciting times now.
not with the Spanlards but with the
insurgents. They are getting very
aggressive. They want the islands to
themselves, and we won't allow it. No
liberty ashore is now allowed to tie
sailors on any OF the ships in the
harbor. The Philippine Insurgents
number nearly 100000 strong, under
arms, which is nearly two to one to
our soldiers here at the present time.
y strong detachment of U. S. soldiers
lett Manila few weeks ago for Iloilo,
To suppress the insurgents at that
place. llollo is city OF about 100000
people, situated on the island OF
Panav, to the southwark OF the island
Of Luzon. To-day the First California
regiment got under way for Iloilo,
and it seems the insurgents got wind
OF their going, leaving this place par
italy dcfencclcSs.
This morning, at Natalie, they had
some heavy firing on both sides, the
damage as yet we do not know. At
Il - A. NJ. we received orders from
the flagship Olympia to get under way
for Manila, to back the soldiers and,
IN case Of necessity, to land battalion
OF men. At II o'clock we were ready
to weigh anchor. That shows how
we'll we are trained in emergency
cases. Each man knows Just what he
has to do. We hoistcd in our steam
launch, first and second cutters and
dingcy. To hoist these boats We have
to rig different "guys" and tackles ut
different places. One block of the
pendant tackle used to hoist the
steamer is more than you could bulge
from the deck, still we have to climb
around with them as if they were
toys. The order for getting under way
was countermanded by the flagship,
and We left everything as it was. We
expect to be called any time, day or
night.
The First Washington regiment is
i'll the trenches, near Malate. They
may catch it heavy. Things up to
o'clock are exciting. Aguinaldo,
leader of the insurgent forces and
their recognized President, positively
refuses to submit to American law. Ii
further things happen will write.

The Kefced Concert.

The concert given 10y Mrs. Kefoed
and Mr.. dAlbert Wednesday evening
drew a fair-sized audience notwith-
standing the Indictment weather. The
performance was good, from an ;cs-
thetic standpoint, and therein lies a
fault which elected very general criti-
cism. AS one patron expressed it,
there was "too much fiddle-de-de and
folderol." If those artists who go into
rapture over their own melody could
but realize that the finished rendition
of some familiar ballad would please a
promiscuous audience far better than
the most elaborate and ornate produc-
tfons OF the old masters, they would
surely defer to the popular wish. Re-
suits are what all are striving for, and
almost ANY old thing" would serve
far better than "Cappricioso de
Beriot" or the "Aven OF Thome."
Governor Laughton, the equal OF any
of the Wanted professionals on the
violin, when he played for popular
benefits, always supplemented classic
production with something popular
on an encore, and always succeeded in
raising a tumult of applause by rem
dition of the "Arkansaw Traveller"
the Devils Dream" or the strains OF
some simple air which touched the
heart and aroused old time memories
and carried his audiences feelings by
storm. 1t is no sacrifice-of the dignity
of the professor to unlimber at times,
for as much skill and culture may be
manifested in the simplest melody as
in the classical oratOrio. An eminent
singer once said that the most difficult
composition in her whole operate rep
ertoire was the simple. but heart-en.
trancing song "The Last Rose of Sum.
mer." There are very few who admit
that the so-called classical music de.
lights their ears, and nine-tenths oil
those who does only profess admiration
to indicate that @stheticism which
goes with parpenu aristocracy.

probably, some $4,000. I sugges
that if the grant lie so valuable us i
has Of late been estimated" that al
least enough bc sold to pay off deb
increasing at the rate of nearly rs, O0C
per annum. The attempt to pay this
debt will at once disclose the mythical
character of many statements which
Of late have had eager currency. Let
the debt be paid and, if possible, real
and actual fund have possibility OF
existence.
The Constitution of the State OF
Washington provides in the most ex-
explicit terms that the State shall
never become indebted in a sum above
100000, And yet by the bill under
discussion it is proposed to acquire
property, State capitol, or in other
words to create debt, by appropri-
ating from 4 mock fund, which not
only has at the present time no actual
existence, but which it is known to all,
never had an existence. And not only
has it never existed, but, more marvel
Gus still, no step has ever at any time
been taken looking toward its creation,
save the mere fiction of rather bril-
liant legislative Imagination. The
legislatures of 1898, 1895 and 1897
must certainly have drawn upon poetic
imagination for the "capitol building
fund.-" for neither money nor recep-
tacle for money has ever been held
save by that eye L" in fine frenzy roll
ing" which is able, we are told, to
give to airy nothing local habitation
and name" How the future may
fare with the Legislature of the State
of Washington, l am unable to say.
Private individuals, however, who OBJ.
tain goods in this manner where good
laws are operative are liable to become
in due process of time sadder and wiser
men.
That this latter condition will be
that OF the people of this State, if the
proposed measure becomes law, |
have not the slightest donbt. That it
is against just and prudent public
policy, l am convinced. That it is
unwise ut this time to engage in an
undertaking which sooner or later will
involve, including the payment of in
terest, an expenditure of from one
to two millions of dollars, is clear to n
vast majority of the people of this
State.
The payment of interest guaranteed
by this and future bills at even five
per cent. will in twenty years equal
the total cost, still leaving to the tax
payers the liquidation of the original
expenditure. l sincerely trust it may
not be said that the Legislature ol
1899 squandered the patrimony of a
struggling people. The bill is vetoed.

A Desperate Criminal.

Jack Cronin has lost what little
sympathy that had been entertained
for him, by a vicious assault upon
Sheriff Billings, Wednesday, when
that gentleman attempted to take him
from the steel cage preparatory to
moving him to the Penitentiary at
Walla Walla to serve a sentence of 20
years for murder.
When Mr.. Billings, accompanied by
Tailor Morrell, asked Cronin to come
out of the cage, he was met with q
positive refusal, the prisoner declaring
that he would not be taken to the
Penitentiary alive. The officers found
the door barracaded with chairs and
other furniture of the cell. After
considerable parley, Morrell opened
the door and Billing. started to enter,
when Cronin seized lighted lamp
and attempted to hurl it at the officer.
Mr.. Billings lodged to one side and it
was some time before the convict
could get the aim he desired, but
Charley was too quick for him and
the lamp was shivered to atoms against
the side of the cell. Mr.. Billings then
fired three shots in the dark and sue
ceeded in "winging" the desperate man
by shot in the hip. The wounded
man was then carried to the corridor
and surgical aid was summoned.
There is but little doubt but that
Cronin's plan was either to kill or
incapacitate the Sheriff, obtain his
pistol, and make break for liberty.
DIR. Redpath, who has been in at
tendance, says the wounded man will
recover, unless blood poisoning sets in.
This episode has, however, delayed the
trip to the Penitentiary, and no at
tempt will be made to remove him
until the result of his wound has been
determined.
