How Yakima Did.

Yakima has population, &C.
cording to the census of 1900. Of
1882, of which 1871 are Indians.
Who will say now that the Indians
are ui 40 sc' vice to our country?
Don'' hey help out the salaried
officials Of Yakima county in good
shape? Kittitas county has. &C
cording to the same authority, a
population of 1904, of which only
143 are Indians. What's the cause
of all this? Is booze cheaper in
Yakima than in Ellensburg, Roslyn
and CleElum? Besides all this,
Kittitas county was divided within
the past year, and the county of
Chelan took from Kittitas about
2474 persons. This only leaves US
short few Indians, and we can
surely induce a few hundred good
white citizens to locate with us
before 1910.

livered his second inaugural address
and his message to the legislature.
The message shows that he has
carefully studied the situation on
: all points of interest to the state,
and it is OVERLOOKING with good
sound sense and business judg-
ment, and all this goes to prove
that the people made no mistake
when they reelected him last fall.
The states affairs are carefully
shown by the governor and the
statement showing the saving of

to$1,392,659.66 on January 1, 1901,
a reduction of $793,6S7.9S. The
various institutions also show a
marked decrease in the cost OF

FERRY BOATS coLLIDED.
Probable Loss of Life in New York Harbor-
Boats Badly DAMAGED.

New York, June 17.-The wooden
side-wheeler Northfield, which has
been in the service of the Statan Is
land Ferry Company for the past 3S
years, was rammed tonight by the
steel-hulled propeller Mauch Chunk,
used as ferry boat by the Central
Railroad of New Jersey. The coils
ion occurred just off the Statan Island
ferry slip, at the foot of Whitehall
street, and in less than 20 minutes
afterwards the Northfield, which was
crowded with passengers, sank at the
outer end of the Spanish Line pier in
the East River. The Mauch Chunk,
which was badly damaged, landed two
dozen passengers who were aboard of
her. Over 100 passengers of the sunk
en- Northfield were dragged out of the
water by people along shore, and the
crews of the feet of river tugs which
promptly responded to the ferry boats
call for help. A few of the North
fields passengers were hurt in the
accident, and the police believe that
some lives were lost.
Captain Daniel Gully, of the tugboat
Mutual, who saw the ferry-boats crash
together, says that Immediately after
the collision between 25 and 80 pas.
sengers leaped into the water, and
that many of these perished. Captain
Gully also declared that he is sure
that over 100 of the Northfeld's pas
sengers were drowned.

HUNDREDS OF woRKMEN.
Vessel Had Just Been Docksd for Repairs
Floating Dry.Dock was Old and Rotten,

Are Unaccounted For.

New York, June H.-While the
United States transport Ingalls, was in
the balance dry dock at the Erie Bas-
in, Brooklyn, Saturday afternoon,
where she was about to undergo ex-
tensive repairs, she suddenly slipped
from the blocks and capsized. One
man is known to have been killed and
many injured.
There were about 240 carpenters,
machinists and others at work on the
vessel and dock at the time. 1t is sup
posed that the vessel was thrown
from an even Ike ell by ballast improp-
erly placed or by the shifting of the
blocks on which she rested, causing
her to list to starboard, driving the
shearing beams through the rotten
walls of the old floating drydock in
which she was Graded. Besides the
mechanics and other workmen who
crowded the vessel and dock, prepar-
ing her for voyage to Manila, about
30 Italian laborers are supposed to
have been in the hold of the ship en-
ployed in shifting pig iron ballast.
While the workmen were trying to es-
cape the dock itself, overbalanced by
the weight of the ship, turned on its
side and sank in SO feet of water. A
number of the men were borne down
into the water and jammed under and
beneath the wreckage. How many
were caught could not be learned to-
night. Martin Anderson, painter,
was caught under the descending side
Of the ship and killed outright. 9th
ers were dragged out of the water
badly injured or half drowned, and
hurried to the hospitals.
Added to the horror of tonight was
the uncertainty of the fate of the men
in the vessels hold. Some managed
to get to the dock and leaped into the
water as the vessel was sinking, but
it is feared that the majority were
less fortunate.
The ingalls, went into the drydock
at 11:30 o'clock this morning, and
about 10000 was to have been ex-
pended on her repairs. The dock in
which she was placed was very old
one, having been constructed over so
years ago. No one could be found
tonight who could give an estimate OF
the damage caused by the disaster.

just been towed in, distance of 450
miles, by the Spanish steamship Dur

EARL WAS A sIeAMlsT.
But His Lordship Was Arrested on His Re.
turn to England.

London, June 19.-Earl Russell
was arrested today on a charge of
having contracted a bigamous mar
riage in the United States.
The Earl was met at the railway
station upon his arrival from the
country by detectives with warrant
and was taken to the Bow street po-
lice court, where he was formally
charged. The nobleman appeared to
be unconcerned.
While Earl Russell waited in the
ante room the summons to appear
before the magistrate, the woman he
married in America joined him.
When the case was called a represent
ative of the public prosecutor said
the prisoner was charged with felon-
iously marrying Mrs. Mollie Soner-
vile, daughter of the late George
Cooke, of Combernauld, Sotcland.
The prosecution proceeded to out
line the Earl's marriage to Mabel
Scott, his first countess), their separ-
alton and his subsequent disappear
ance from England with a neighbor,
Mrs. Snmerville, and discovery that
he and Mrs. Somerville were located
together at Reno, New. April Ia,
1900, Earl Russell obtained license
to marry Mollie Cooke, otherwise
Mrs. Somerville, in Nevada, and a
judge performed the ceremony April
Is.
Counsel for the Earl pointed out
that the prosecution omitted mention
CT the divorce proceedings instituted
by his lordship in America. In the
event of conviction the case will be
taken to the house of lords, as Lord
Russell is entitled to a trial by his
peers.

CONCESSION is ASKED.
Mormons Want to Settle on Government
Lands Vacated by Indians.

Mexico City, June ia Mormon
agent, James Cannon, is here for the
purpose of securing from the govern
ment a concession for settling l, 900
Mormons in Sonora. on the lands
from which the Yaqui Indians have
been driven. Mr.. Cannon says:
1--WE believe that if suitable tracts
of lands are placed at our disposal in
the Yaqui country, we will do much
in this country in the interest of
peace, for the Mormon church has
faced the Indian problem almost
since its organization. We require
no rifles in our management of the
red brother, and are always instilling
into his mind that we are his friends
and not his foes. If the concession
is obtained, a commissioner will be
sent at once into the Yaqui territory
by the Mormon church for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the attitude of
the Indians, and if peaceful a con-
tract will be made and lands pur-
chased from the Yaquis. -
