awhile.
"Huh" shifted Mrs. Smithers. who
takes very little stock in the new ed

"Yessum, this author believes, You

'He does, eh?" queried Mamma
Smithers with a CLINT in her eye. Your

URGES BETTER SERVICE.
Resident Of Kirkland Says Present
Ferry Time Table Fails to Meet
Requirements of Patrons.

The Post-Intelliaencer IL in receipt OF a
communication from a resident of Kirk

the ferry boat King County IL scheduled
TO run. The writer affirms that the pres
emit service is not adapted to the needs
NJ considerable portion of the boats
patrons. who are laboring men and farm
ers, whose occupations require their pres
ence In this city at both an earlier and
later hour than the time of the present
schedule will permit. The writer says:
Now that the Lake Washington ferry
has become fixture on the lake, many
of its patrons In and about Kirkland are
wondering why a service does not appear
which win enable both business and la
boring people to do days work In the
city and be able to return at the close Of
the day. The advocates OF the ferry and
the lakeside residents have looked for
wnrd to and expected boat service which
and development OF the country around the
east side OF the lake
But as yet the ferry boat does not run
either earlier or later for a summer serv-
Ice than has been the previous practice
OF the private steamers which ply on the
same run. The first trip from the Kirk
land side In the morning Is Z o'clock; the
last trip from the Seattle side II p. m.
The first trip II too late and the last Is
too early for either the business or la
boring classes to spend the day In the
city and reside across the lake. An early
trip at, say, 6 o clock In the morning from
Kirkland and last trip from Seattle
at $3.50 or p. m. would certainly be much
more satisfactory In encouraging this class
of residents among u.s.

was the only one In jeopardy: but Gus
turned and seeing the car almost upon
us, he jumped inside the rails and violent
ly thrust me to one side. At the same
instant the car struck him. causing us
both to fall heavily to the ground.
Poor boy: I owe my life to his quick
ness and bravery. Immediately dropped
10 his side. but found him in an uncon-
scious condition. His skull had been
fractured. several of his teeth had been
torn from their sockets and he was in
jured internally, Two or three gentlemen
who were present. helped to lift him onto
the same car we had occupied, and he
was conveyed to the Providence hospital.
81 feel satisfied that the street car mo-
torman was to blame. He gave no signal
whatever, and the car was coming with
tremendous speed. The accident happen
ed at exactly 10 minutes Of o'clock, as
had looked at my watch Just a few NOM
ents before. The hospital management
told me that he died at I o'clock this
morning"
Bert Kern. another witness, stated that
the car was running at high speed. The
testimony in behalf of the street car COM
pany was that the car was making only
its ordinary time. and that a large crowd
surrounding the car on which Dphrman
had been riding made II absolutely Inn
possible to avert the accident. The YER
diet Of the jury was that the fatality was
unavoidable.
Dohrman was 80 years Of age. He had
resided in Seattle two years. coming here
from San Francisco. where he leaves a
wife and little girl years old.

CHINA EAGER TO NEGOTIATE

Washington, Oct. 19.-The Chinese gov
eminent has made arequest upon Secre-
tary Hay that negotiations begin tomor-
row at Pekin looking to a settlement of
the Chinese question. It is said at the
state department that Mr. Conger's in
structions are sufficient in breadth to en-
able him to proceed with negotiations
tomorrow without further orders from the
department. However, as the Chinese
contemporaries received yesterday
through Mr.. Conger, appear to warrant
further instructions from the president
and Secretary Hay, Mr.. Conger will be
wired an outline of the course he is to
pursue in the furtherance of the plans
already committed TO his care. or OBJ
vious reasons the state department has
decided not to make public the text of
these supplementary instructions. But
1t may be stated that our government
does not regard the Chinese tender as
case. 1t is not indicated IN what re-
spect the yfall short. the Chinese agree
ing, according. to their note, to express re-
greet. admit liability for indemnity and
yield anything in the way of treaties. in
consideration of the withdrawal of the
troops and an armistice. 1t is inferred
that our objection is based on the lack
Of guarantees for the present safety OF
the American citizens at the legation in
China, as well as for the protection OF
the missionary and trade interets in the
future. 1t cannot be gathered that the
matter of the sufficiency of the punish
ment to be meted out 10 the Chinese Of
fendinf officials enters into this objection
The alleged edict setting out the pun
ishment allotted TO Prince Tuan and his
fellow-consprators IS surrounded with
doubt Mr.. Conger has advised the state
department that the authenticity of the
edict is called in question in Pekin, but
nowhere has the state department been
able to secure any official statement as
TO the character OF the edict
