not only refused to join the Citizens Nom
partisan League, but Will hold conven-
ton February 10 to nominate city ticket
and adopt a platform This action was
decided upon last night at meeting held
at the hall Of the Western Central LABOR
Union.
The Nonpartisan League some time ago
addressed an invitation to various minor
political organizations Of Seattle to JOIN
that following. Social Democrats appoint-
ed committee to consider this request,
which yesterday drafted a reply that was
adopted last night. This committee was
and w. B. c. Randolph. The reply starts
off as follows:
I'VE have to answer for the Social
Democratic party that 1t must decline TO
accede to your request to abandon It's par
tisanship and stand In favor OF your Ell
forts. We believe that the ends which
you desire can only be accomplished by a
partisan organization such as ours. We
must suggest to you that we do not share
your fears of political party"
Then follows a long argument in FAVOR
of organization, and characterizing the
dominant party as corrupt S ,s. We cla ann
improvements over the old one that good
work by our officials is absolutely as
sured." is the continuation. II PARTISAN
ship Is good In national affairs, we see
no reason why 1t should be evil when APP
piled to city.
AS all the principles advocated by you
are recognized In the Socialist programme.
we therefore invite you to abandon your
movement and support the ticket which
we shall place before the people"

the Fate OF the Vessel.
Yesterday brought no news regarding
the long overdue Alaskan steamer City
of Seattle Each hour was prolific OF
rumors, but up to early this morning not
a word of reliable information was to be
had. Neither the Cottage City nor the
Townsend, both of which should have
news Of the Seattle, arrived.
Toward noon someone set In circulation
a report to the effect that the British
steamer Tees had arrived at Union. b.
c., with the Information that the City
of Seattle was being lowed to her home
port by another steamer. This rumor
proved groundless
The Seattle Is now five days overdue.
Friends and relatives of her officers and
crew and persons supposed to have taken
passage on her are growing very uneasy.
The offices of the newspapers. trans
portation lines and the telegraph COM
panies were kept busy answering tele-
phone queries as to the fate of the steam
er. Innumerable theories were advanced
as to the cause of the delay in the vessels
return.

WILL RUN TO CAPE NOME.
Canadian Steamer Alpha to COM
pete With American Vessels.

The British steamer Alpha will run to
Cape Nome during the coming season,
Samuel Barber, her managing owner,
says. despite the efforts of American ship
pers to have the government shut out
foreign competition.
"It is possible that we may not be al
lowed to carry freight free of duty" Mr..
Barber remarked. ''and in that event we
will take passengers and a cargo of lum-
Der and coal. paying the tariff on the
couver."
The contention of the American ship
pers is that a British bottom should not
be allowed to carry passengers and Amer
lean freight from Canadian port to any
point in United States territory

bile are among the well known new and useful applications of electricity unknown at the time of the Columbian Exposition. Electricity is to be eX tensively used in making attractive displays at night. For this purpose steel tower 375 feet high has been planned which will face the Court of the Fountains. Upon this great tower and in this broad and beautiful court there will be seen at night fantastic and beautiful displays in electrical illumination. More than 100000 eicc- tric lamps are to be used for this pur pose, it being the intention of cleo tricians to have all the large buildings surrounding this court outlined with a fringe of brilliant electric lamps.

 bed In Chicago, Sent to an Asylum.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-W. F. Mel lick, former president of the National bank at Pocatello, Ida, and cattle king" of the Snake river, that state, is now a raving lunatic, the result, it is thought, ot being sandbagged in Chicago a week ago.
 He was taken to Morristown, x. J., heavily ironed and was committed as a private patient to the State Hospital For the Insane at Morris Plains. The com mitment was made at the instance of his father, P. W. Mellick, a wealthy farmer of New Germantown, N. J. James La Boide, an attendant in the Retention hos pital at Chicago, brought Mellick here. He tells the story of assault and rob bery.
 Mellick had been in Chicago several days, had sold his cattle and was prepar- ing to return to the Snake river country. On the evening of Nov. IT, with a large roll of bills, he started out to visit the theaters. Late that night he staggered into the hotel where he had been staying and asked for loan of $2 with which to pay the cabman for bringing him home.
 Fhe cabman said he had found Nellick out near Lincoln park on the Boulevard wandering around in a dazed condition. His money, watch, rings and all valua- bles were missing.
 The next morning Hellick drew check for $1 ,0O0,000 and ordered a $1 ,0OO breakfast to be served by 100 walters in his rooms. The proprietor called a physi- clan and policeman, and Mellick, after a struggle, was taken to the Retention hos pital.

A PHENOMENA STORM.
Great Damage Done by the Gale In
 Colorado.
tours respectfully,
 FANNY WILLIAMS.


 Colorado.
 DENVER, Nov. 23.-It is impossible for the railroads to estimate the amount of damage suffered from the windstorm which has swept the lines for nearly 100 miles along the base of the mountains. The wires were blown down, and trains are moved with great caution in the ab- sence of telegraphic orders, seriously de- laying traffic. Many freight cars on sid ings had their roofs blown off Station buildings were damaged more CT less all through the storm region and the tracks strewn with wreckagc. which further re- tarded the movement of trains. - Between Pueblo and Colorado Springs houses were damaged, haystacks blown away and outbuildings demolished. The property loss will be heavy among the ranchmen.
 The storm stands without parallel in many respects. Former severe wind storms have been accompanied with eli ther rain or snow. but in this case it was neither, and the wind carried sand, gray el and small stones, similar to the sand storms of the desert. It was remarkable and unlike any past storms in the scope of territory covered, though apparently terminating at the foothills. Cripple Creek and the district surrounding was baSking in bright, clear weather.
 Trainmaster Dean, from La Junta, with all the lnemen to be had, is en- gagged in restoring the Santa Fe wires between Denver and Pueblo, while com panies of linemen of all the roads are hard at work endeayoring to restore the wires and enable business to be resumed at the earliest possible moment.

BIG LINER AGROUND.
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse Had a
 Stormy and Slow Voyage.

StOrEiy anu BIO" voyage.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-The great ex- press steamer of the North German Lloyd's, the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, arrived AS hours overdue and to add to her misfortunes grounded near the South west spit in the lower bay after passing in Sandy Hook.
 The Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse left Cherbourg Nov. 14 at 11:30 p. m. and ar rived at the Sandy Hook Gghtship at 2:5O D. III. yesterday. making the passage in ' days, 20 hours aid 20 minutes, with an average speed of 1922 knots. This is the slowest trip ever made by the steamer. The cause of her delay was primarily the weather. From the moment of leaving Cherbourg the steamer experienced stormy weather. On Nov. 15 she had west southwest winds. changing to west northwest, cloudy and rain squalls, with high seas and westerly swells. On the 16th the wind increased to hurricane heavy westerly sea.
 The great steamer labored heavily dur ing the whole day. The engines were slowed down to nine knots. The total dis tance run that day was 1S1 knots. 7 At times the seas boarded the high sided craft and caused some damage to her rails and fittings. On the 11th. at s D.. m., o7e blade of the port propeller was lost, and the engineers were obliged to slow the engines down to 16 knots to adjust the speed to suit both engines in order to prevent vibration. This, with the sue cessive gales, reduced the daily average of the steamer over 1GO knots.
