made. When the Oregon will have
been fully repaired then there will
be others Of the Pacific men-of-war
that will be placed on the dock, as a
general order has been issued that
all of the vessels in Western waters
do undergo an Overhauling during
the present year. This means much
for Seattle, and it is most likely that
the business men will make much of
the opportunity.

The election of the entire Repub-
lican county ticket with the excep-
ton Of sheriff and prosecuting at
torney is very gratifying to the Re
publican county central committee,
and reflects great credit upon Chair
man Morris, who has conducted the
county campaign with such signal
success. Mr.. Morris is unquestion-
ably one Of the shrewdest politicians
and ablest campaign managers in
King county, and bids fair to be-
come a great political leader in the
state Of Washington. His cam
paigns are conducted with vigor and
with a business-like air which meets
with the hearty approval Of a great
majority Of the Republicans Of the
county.

In these columns before the elec-
ton it was predicted that Mr.. Cush-
man would not run two hundred
votes behind his ticket in King
county, Notwithstanding the fact
that herculean efforts were being
made by j. T. Ronald and his
friends to antagonize the King
county voters against Mr.. Cushman
because he hailed from Pierce coun-
ty. 1t will be seen from the returns
that Mr.. Cushman in King county
was lead by Mr. Ronald not to ex-
coed $50 votes, he even running
ahead Of Mr.. Frink, King county's
candidate for governor. King coun-
ty may have been disloyal to her
own candidate, but it is very clear
that she was very loyal to Pierce
county's candidate, and far more
loyal than Pierce county was to
King county's candidate. The cleo
ton of Mr.. Cushman and Mr.. Jones
is assured, and this is very crafty
ing to Republicans, who desire to
have the state Of Washington repre-
sented in congress by Republicans
instead of Democrats, rebels and
dynamiters, and thus give Mckinley
a strong arm of support.

on the black side Of every political
situation. When Washington state
gave its plurality vote for Mr.. Rog-
ers over Mr.. Frink, it simply cut its
nose off, politically speaking, to spite
its face. j. NJ. Frink was as much
deserving of the Republican vote of
this state as was President McKin-
ley.

There is no longer any doubt but
that J. NJ. Frink has been clearly
defeated for governor of this state
by John R. Rogers, the present pes
simistic incumbent Business men
seem to have lost their reason in
turning down so able a business man
as Mr.. Frink for a political freak Of
nature like Mr.. Rogers, who looks

The campaign committee is very
busy, even after it has looked after
its partisan henchmen, for the work
of the campaign must be closed up
and the books and cash balanced.
This requires considerable time,
and no committee wants the election
to come off without having its
books in the proper shape for the
final reports, hence the election eve
to the committee is doubly busy.

quarters on such an eventful day,

To the observer, it would seem
that factional politics promises to
disrupt Republicanism In hng

swath in Republican state politics as
well.

The Pie-maker suggests to the
Republicans Of King county that III
the future they do something more
than make fimsy promises to the
colored voters. Their action toward
Sheriff Van De Vanter is proof suf-
fcient that patience ceases to be d

God never created a fairer, squar-
er man than j. NJ. Frink, and the
hundreds of men who have been
employed in his shops and works for
the past decade or more will verify
testify to this self-same fact. Each
and every laboring man has a warm
friend and sympathizer in J. NJ.
Frink, and when laboring men
make a concentrated effort, as did
they on last Tuesday, to defeat a
candidate like Mr.. Frink, who has
stood by them in every particular
for so many yearvs, it appears that
laboring men have no appreciation
or no desire to be fair with those
who are fair with them. The small
vote that Mr.. Frink got in King
county is one Of the inexplicable
things Of the whole campaign.

THE GREAT ECLIPSE
That Will Take Place Early Monday
Morning.

Ell Paso will have to get up very
early at six at least, in order to see any
thing of the crest eclipse Monday
morning. The eclipse begins at sun
rise In the Pacific ocean off the west
coast of Mexico and Is visible at New
Orleans at about half past seven in the
morning so that the partial eclipse
will be visible here between sunrise
and half past seven.
The path of totality extends from
the Pacific ocean across northern
Mexico to New Orleans, across the
STATE of Louisiana, Mississippi. Ala
bama, Georgia, South Caroline, North
Carolina and a corner of Virginia and
across the Atlantic ocean touching
western Portugal in the afternoon,
then AlPiers and finally disappearing
in the Red sea at sunset.

noon moving in her orbit between the
earth and the sun. The sums light is
thus occulted-eclipsed- the
earth g atmosphere becomes dark. The
glory of a total solar eclipse Is the
corona which is visible at that time
and at no other. The corona Is a kind
OF an envelope surrounding the sun,
and extending for millions of miles
away from it. We do not see the
corona every and any day at noon for
the reason that it is a little less bright
than the general illumination of our
own atmosphere. 1t is usually pro-
jscted on a background of about the
same brilliancy as itself, and then, of
course, is not separately visible. But
when the moon shuts off the direct
light of the sun the corona stands out
against darkened background and
then only can be seen with the naked
eye.
The shadow of the moon is projected
downward upon the earth's surface
and it moves with prodigious swiftness
at the rate of some thirty miles
minute. II the observer is on an emil

Senator Hannas Face.

No man in public life has been so
merciIessly caricatured by artist and
Hbeled by camera The caricaturist,
of course is never expected to convey
true likeness, although he invariably
seeks to preserve a semblance OF
mans features and expressions, how
ever distorted they may be- In Sena-
tor Hanna's case, however, he seems
entirely at sea This impression is
forced upon one by studying the man
at close range. The caricaturist may
perhaps be pardoned for not coming
nearer the truth, when the fact is
taken into consideration that even the
photographer usually fails to catch the
details of the senator's facial charac-
teristics. There is an indescribable
something about the man that defes
reproduction. His is remarkable
face in many respects, full of light and
shade, expressive to the extent of be-
ing almost panoramic, ever changing
with his own mood the moods OF
those about him. 1t is rugged face,
such as you see on those actors who
change their plastic features at will in

There is probably no other savage
race who are capable of putting up
such a stiff fight are the people OF
Ashantee now at war with England
They are born warriors and love their
country with a savage kind of pa
triotism Besides, they would not
dare refuse to fight. Refusal would
mean not only disgrace, but instant
death The power of their picturesque
monarch is unQuestioned. Should the
car of all the Russias even think of
doing what King Prempeh does and
thinks nothing of doing, there would
be a vacancy at the Winter palace The
sultan of Turkey is a novice in tyran-
ny as compared with the black king of
Ashantee. If his breakfast does not
happen to agree with him, the cook is
liable to lose her head literally If one
of his subjects should even happen to
look at one of his wives, the said sub
ject would be conducted by a subordi-
nate to some shady grove or to the
rear of the woodShed-and he would
never return Should any of his war
riors refuse to fight-welI, there is no
telling where the gore-shedding pro-
cIivities OF the monarch with the plug
hat would stop! Whenever king of
.Ashantee dies a guard of 1000 of his
subjects are slaughtered to conduct
him to the other world. 1t is said that
as many as 10000 people have been
slain on such occasions Every time
there is q national festival there are

The king of Ashantee is opposed to
progress. He does not want any roads
in his domain. When the English cut
their way inland from the gold coast
they left a fine road behind them With
several pistols pointed at his head, the
king agreed to keep this road in repair
and not allow it to be overgrown, but
he knew that the rainy season was at
hand and that the English would have
to hurry back to the coast The road
was never touched
The system of human sacrifices prac-
ticed in Ashantee is founded on a wild
idea of filial duty, for il is believed
that the rank of dead relatives in the

number of descendants sent after them

After the defeat of the British at
Taku in 1859, the French and English
ENJOYS went back to Shanghai to
catch their breath and talk over mat
tiers. The Chinese government had
told the ENJOYS that if they wanted to
come to Pekin they must travel by
way to the Pehtang river, a small
stream ten miles north of Taku. Mr.
Ward. the American minister, decided
that he would try to reach the Chinese
capital by the route indicated He
sailed to the mouth of the Pehtang
and there disem barked with his suite
on July 20. He was met by q Chinese
official, who bundled the Americans
into rude country carts and escorted

them and they proceeded by way OF

ordered to get into carts, and in this

with a show of consideration and was
told that he would be allowed to pre-
sent his credentials to the emperor if
he would perform the "kotow.' He
