The Barbaric Act of 8 Polish Woman
at Buc0da.


at Bucoda.
Seattle, Oct. "a special from Blu.
coda says: A most deliberate and bar.
baric attempt at suicide occurred at this
place yesterday. Mrs. Leo Prabuski, a
Polish woman, became angered at
some little domestic occurrence and
determined to do away with her life.
She procured an ordinary hatpin six
inches long and drove the pin into her
stomach through the navel. Pressing
hard against the pin, she drove it until
it could go no farther, as it had lodged
in the spine. Then, with the intention
of forcing the pin out at the back, she
procured q rusty darning needle and
drove this into what she thought was
the hole made by the hat pin. Not
until IL O'Clock last night did she tell
any one what she had done.
Today Mrs. Prabuski repented of her
act, and accompanied the Bucoda ply
sician to this city, where DR.. Redpath
removed the pin and needle. DR.. Red
path thinks she will live. She is 48
years old and has 10 children, five OF
whom are living.

Reception ON the Transport.

Later in the day a reception in the
masters cabin was rendered Lieuten-
ant Colonel Fife and Major Weisen-
berger. The governor, General ]. M.
Ashton, Judge Thomas Carroll, Sheriff
A. q. Mills, Captain Tuttle, of the
revenue cutter Bear, Manager Higsby
and others were present. General ASH
ton toasted the First Washington, and
Colonel Fife responded, saying he fully
appreciated, as did the regiment, the
compliment paid the men by the pres.
euce of such reception committee.
He said the arrival of the committee
was the most agreeable sight he had
seen since he had left home, year and
a half ago. Colonel Fife toasted the
governor of Washington, to whom he
alluded as one of the best, if not the
best, governor the state had ever had.
The governors attention to the regi-
ment, Colonel Fife said, was appre-
ciated, and the regiment felt honored
by its reception.
Governor Rogers made an appropri-
ate response, stating that the First
Washington was composed of men who
did not go to war to kill their fellow
men, but the people of the state appre-
ciated in this instance the old biblical
statement, greater love hath no man
than that he would" etc.
''This we feel the regiment has done
not only for the United States, but for
the state of Washington, said Govern
or Rogers. Judge Carroll paid the
regiment high compliment and toast
ed Weisenberger as "Our Dewey"
Major Weisenberger responded, giving
"reminiscences of the regiments war
experiences.
The visitors were given lunch aboard
the transport, mail was distributed
among the volunteers, fruit and cigars
were passed aboard and divided, and
the rest of the day was devoted to pri.
vate greetings and welcoming.

THE WASHINGTON REGIMENT
The Brave Boys Have Ar
rived at San Francisco.
GREETED BY GOV. ROGERS
opes Continued While the Transport
Passed Down the Bay.

San Francisco, Oct. 11.-Bearded
and bronzed, sobered by the hard CAM
paigning of year in a tropical eoun-
try; not much like regiment of young
men that went out year and half
ago, the First Washington volunteers
returned this morning on the transport
Pennsylvania.
They were glad to get back, were
the men of the First Washington.
They cheered the sight of land, tf.ey
cheered the parties which went out in
tugs to show their feeling of happiness
and gratitude, and they cheered as they
passed by the men-of-war in the bay.
1t was q jovial, whole-souled recep-
tion the regiment got. Scarce a man
in the Fighting First" failed to find
friend in the throng which, repre-
senting the state of Washington, went
out in tugs to greet the returning vol
unteers. Friends were reunited, hus-
bands met their wives, sons their moth
ers or sisters, for the first time in near
>ly tive years. A reception that lasted
four hours was held aboard the trans
port.
The Pennsylvania was sighted at 10
O'Clock, but it was noon before the
quarantine officers had finished their
work and the ship was ready to receive
its visitors The official reception
committee from the state of Washing
ton, headed by Governor Rogers and
Senators Turner and Foster, aboard the
government tug Fearless, circled about
the transport, the volunteers cheering
the prominent men on board the tug,
and the committee from the north yell
ling itself hoarse, or frantically wav-
ing handkerchiefs. The regimental
band strove to make 1.-THE Star Span
gled Banner" heard.
The soldiers were delighted and
eager; so much so that ranks were
broken and the men who ought to have
been in company formation swarmed
to the side of the boat to exchange
greetings. Cheers for Wholly and
for Fife and Weisenberger were given
by the committee, to be answered by
cheers from the volunteers for Rogers,
Turner and Foster. Colonel Wholly
bounded down the gangway with out
stretched hands to greet Governor Rog-
ers, with the exclamation: Governor,
have brought you back your regi-
ment.''
On board there was no attempt at
regular reception. Friends seized each
others hands, or in their JOY embraced
at the head of the gangway. Relatives
hurried away for private chat.

patton. The admiral was officially in

pie of the United States to present him
with home in Washington. He
frankly expressed his qualification at
the tender, which he Immediately ac-

home been the gift a few wealthy men
he should have felt indisposed to ac-
cept it, but he noted that the fund had
over 43, 900 subscribers, indicating that
it was to be really q gift of the Ameri-

cept it with as much pleasure as he

prisonment, but was subsequently re-
leased, was passenger by the steame
Mexican, which sailed for the Cape o.
Saturday. Mr.. Vessels, member OF
the Cape assembly for Vryburgh, was
also passenger by the Mexican. In
the course of an interview, Mr.. Vessels
declared that he saw no way to avert
war between Great Britain and the
Transvaal, and, if not long, it would be
terribly severe. He believed it would
be. impossible to restrain the younger
Dutch residents of Cape Colony, with
whom blood would prove thicker than
water. The Beers, said Mr.. Vessels,
were hemmed in, and would fight des-
perately, and trouble might be ex-
pected with the natives.

BRITISH ARE NOW ACTIVE
Every Preparation for War
in South Africa.
ARMY RESERVES MODELLING
Orders for the Reassembling of Parlie-
ment--Every Wheel of Government
Machinery in Motion.

London, Oct 9.-Whatever may bs
the result of Great Britain's contro-
versy with the South African republic,
today is as busy as though actual hos
tilities had begun. The electric flash
that announced the mobilization of the
army reserves and the summoning of
parliament, set every wheel of the gov
ernment machinery in motion. An
hour after the Gazette appeared, exc
cutive orders were being dispatched
from the war Office to every section cf
the kingdom, and the 10000 bulleti
which appeared posted throughout t.
country today are said to have been
identical with the proclamation pre-
pared for use had the Fashoda incident
required such a step.
At the same time Lord Salisbury and
Mr.. Balfour were issuing the necessary
orders for the reassembling of parlia-
ment, and the admiralty was concen-
trating its transports. So complete
were the preparations that 200 re-
serves have already individually received
coupon tickets which contain instruc-
tions where each man shall report for
railway transportation to the place
designated, and money order for three
shillings for provisions en- route.
At Woolwich today, it was asserted
that s95 per cent of the reserves would
be fully equipped within six days. In
the meantime, the members of the two
houses of parliament are arranging to
return to London, and force of men
is busily engaged in completing the
Improvements at Westminster.
The important news from South
Africa comes from Mafeking, where
twice on Saturday the British camp
was aroused. the men stood to their
arms, guns were imbered and patrols
were dispatched in the direction of the
border. No hostilities have occurred
as yet, but the enemy has moved prac-
tically to the border, eight miles from
Mafeking, in force, estimated at least
5000, comprising five commanders.
The garrisoning and fortifying of the
town are practically completed. The
streets are barricaded, and perfect
system of mines has been laid.
Two armored trains have arrived at
Mafeking, consisting of three bullet
proof cars, the first of which carries
searchlight, while the rest of the cars
are loop-holed. Each train is COM
plete in itself and carries its own pro-
visions.
