The communication from the citizens
nonpartisan organization, as printed in the
Post-Intelligencer yesterday morning, was
sent In while the committee was In ses-
sion, and read by Secretary Rumble. 1t
was laid on the table indefinitely.
Speaking of Republican prospects In the
coming campaign, Chairman Root said.
after the meeting: IT think the people
of Seattle have confidence in the Republic
can party. or course, there will be some
important questions raised, but see no
reason why the Republican ticket should
not win by large majority. The nonpar-
tisan movement, 1t seems to me. will not
amount to much unless Endorsed and taken
up by one Of the older parties. Three tick
cts in the field would make 1t all the bet
ter for U.S."

POSTAL MEN TO SUBSCRIBE.
Raising Money Here to Erect a
Monument to Eben Brewer.

For the purpose of raising funds to
erect a monument to the memory of Eben
Brewer, the hero of the postal depart
ment in the war with Spain, few lead
ers among the postoffice men have made
plan that it is believed will be success
full. 1t is to have all the postoffice en-
ployes of the government, numbering ESQ.,
900, contribute to the fund on an average
of 10 cents each, which will bring S25, 900,
enough it is believed, for the purpose.
Postmaster Stewart has been made the
collecting agent here. and will receive the
contributions that are made in this coun-
ty.
Eben Brewer was the postal agent who
went with the army to Cuba, and opened
an office at Daiquiri as soon as the SOL
diers landed. He worked indomitably, and
wore himself out, so that when he was
attacked by yellow fever he was unable
to stand the strain, and soon died. 1t is
the intention to ask congress to permit
his remains to be inferred in Arlington
cemetery, the nations burying ground,
and then to erect monument over them

According to the complaint the defen-

remained on the records without any ac-
ton being pressed until yesterday after
noon, when Judge Moore dismissed the suit
as to the lien. Mosher & Mcdonald show
ed that they had paid all of the just claim
with the exception of about $50. Judge
Moore said that six years was an unreal
