SEATTLE, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 20.
The Rally Tonight.

The Republicans OF Seattle should
turn out In force at the rally in Armory
hall tonight. 1t is the first demonstra-
ton, not only of the municipal cam
paign, but OF the national campaign as
well. 1t will be a year Of Republican
victories, and the members of the party
should show at the start that they are
active, In earnest and determined that
the party shall exercise a controlling in
fiuence in the administration OF public
AFFAIRS.
that the Republicans of Seattle do not
propose that the municipal government
shall be turned over to the connving
politicians who have been anxlously
laboring for some time past to effect an
unscrupulous combine for spells. 1t
should be set forth clearly that the peo-
pie are not yet inclined to reject a re-
sponsible party In favor OF a tattered
aggregation OF fractional representatives.
who are Incorporating as Democrats,
but agree on nothing except certain
division Of the offices. The time has not
arrived when the people want the crea-
tions of a decker to govern the city. and
that sentiment can be expressed effect
lively In the meeting tonight. when an
opportunity will be offered to see and
hear the candidates on the Republican
ticket.
There is no doubt of victory on
March 6, but II should be a victory so
pronounced that cheap combinations for

Trust Business Dropping.

The business of promoting trusts does
not seem to be so fourishing as it was
a year ago. 1t was overdone. The
schemes came too quickly, and more
projects were launched than the coun-
try could take care of. AS an industry,
the building of Industrial trusts is about
dead, and it is likely to remain so for
some time. A year ago there was hard
~ a day when some new consolidation
was not organized. and large amounts
OF its swollen capital stock were offered
crazy to go into a combine. 1t is diff
ferent now. There are plenty of indus
tries represented in independent mills
and factories which might be brought
into a form of monopoly and could be
made to serve as the basis for the is
sue of millions of preferred and COM
mon stock of some new corporation. but
the market has been so loaded down
with securities Of the old combinations
the securities OF the new ones.
1t has become evident that
good many of these consultations
have had little merit in them.
They have not been organized
for legitimate trade purposes, but
rather to give the promoters an op-
portunity to pocket a few millions and
leave the united concerns TO work out
their own salvation as best they might.
In forming some combinations very Of
ten little Judgment has been shown in
the selection of properties, extravaganza
prices have been paid. and the capital
ization has been placed at such figures
as TO preclude the possibility OF ever re-
turning satisfactory profits TO the in
vestors. AS result many of the new
ly-organzed trusts have fallen Of their
own weight.
The innate rottenness OF a good many
of these consultations has already
been shown up, and It became evident
long ago that a cure for the trust dis
ease would be found in the trusts them
selves They are not deemed 80 dan
gerous. now that there is reason to be-
lieve they are not permanent and that

Daring work Of a Mexican.
[From the New York word. ]

Ifrom the New York World.
San Francisco-Quietly and meelSly
rounding up cattle, down near the Mex
lean border, is a man who spent twenty
five years in a series of forgeries affect
ing the vital records of three nations
and who got for his pains instead of a
kngly fortune, four years in a peniten-
tiary.
In the cabin with this cowboy dwens
his wife, who was once received by the
queen of Spain, and about whom he
erected his vain structure of forgery.
James Addison Reavis was nniless
when his wonderful career of crime be-
gan. At the time when he seemed near
est to success, a land grant valued at
$100 GOO. eco appeared to be almost within
his grasp.
Then the tide of his affairs turned.
Reavis had married a. young Mexican
girl OF, unknown parentage and great
beauty. With remarkable cIeverness
and a a eye. to colossal gain he set out
to manufacture a pedigree for his wife.
He, made her out a descendant of the
noble Peralta family Of Spain. with an
inherited right to vast tracts of coun-
try in New Mexico and Arizona, on
which were gold silver and copper
mines as well as immense cattle ranges.
To promote his designs Reavis forged
pages of birth, removal and adoption
records in Mexico, in San Bernardino,
CAL and in Spain itself. His plausible
stories interested California capitalists.
and he got money which enabled him
not only to buy access to the Spanish
archives but to entertain lavishly wher-
everthe went
Charles Croker was one of his back
ers. c. p. Huntington. Ingersoll and
Conkling were among his guests at var
iOus times. Mrs Reavis' rare beauty
and ready Wit were of great use to him
when he figured as host.
When Reavis case came before the
United States court it seemed perfect.
But it was broken up by blow at it's
simplest point. A parish priest objected
to the San Bernardino birth record of
Mrs Reavis. 1t was denounced as a for
gerry. The attack was pressed till the
woman broke down. Then, with abso-
lutely no trace of emotion or disturb
ance, Reavis saw his whole fabric of
forgery fall and heard his sentence pro-
nounced-
He rounds up his cattle on one of the
very ranges which he hoped to claim as
his own.

gated hocks to seek the more genial re-
gions of the south. No sooner, however,
do they arrive within the boundaries of
man than slaughter is met by them.
The English at Hudson's bay, says Pen
nant, subsist chiefly on geese during
the winter and when the flights are IA
yorable kill thousands of the birds and
barrel them for use. AS it would be fu-
tile to follow the geese southwark a row
of huts are built along their line of
flight, at shotgun distance apart, and
the birds are shot as they fly overhead
Such individuals as are killed are set
upon sticks and employed to decoy the
passing fiocks within range. on favor

occurrence to kill more than 200 birds

there is little cause for wonder that their

can hunt them.

The chinese view Of nrilk.

lFrom the London Chronicle
The Chinese seem to have more ten
der regard for cows than for foreign
devils They would not even have them
milxed. According to the Foo Chow
Herald a notice has been posted up to
the following effect: You are not al
lowed to drink cows milk. Man has no
right to take from animals their nour-
ishment. particularly the COW, which is
the most useful of all. Those who sell
milk pollute thsir conscience for the sake
of money, and those who drink 1t with
the idea that their bodies benefit by it
are not less blamable. Under the pre-
text that their children feed themselves
with milk they wish to do the same. But
animals have the same needs. Who will
feed the calves if men take all the milk

Sportsmen living near the Great South
