Letter From Seattle.

EDITOR DAWN: | believe | started

parks in my last communication,
and had gotten Ms far as Madi "n
park, which was the seco"d one l
visited in company with Mrs. Edd
Green, who SO Hospitality enter
tanned me during my stay in Seat
tie. After leaving the street car
we first encountered a cage of very
fat old monkeys. They were in
tently engaged in searching for
heas in their thick hair, which
they seemed to relish quite as well
as child would enjoy dainty
sweet-meat. So engrossed were
they in this business that we were
unable to attract their attention
until we gave them promise of
food, by way of paper sack which
one grasped and proceeded to pick
to pieces in the hopes Of finding Il
crumb. One of them ignored our
presence; but the other we coaxed
into friendly relationship with a
piece of shredded wheat biscuit.
Two little girls came near the ca &c,
but with one angry ejaculation
from the monkeys, they were per.
suaded to take a very respectful
distance, where they stood scolding
the "horrid things" yet all the
time enjoying our close proximity
to the scene of attraction. We next
entered the Madison Park Pavilion
grounds. The Pavilion, II large
building,stood on pretty lawn sur
rounded by many fancy shaped
flower-beds, pretty fountain near
one entrance and large green
house, containing four parts, which
were filled with plants and flowers
of all descriptions, to the back.
There was a large waiting room,
which contained a hundred or more
pretty little rounl tables where
people could sit and be served with
lunch and drinks from the restau-
rant adjoining, but the incest fea-

BRITISH CABINET
DISCUSS THE CANAL
A Quid Pro Quo Wanted for
the Clayton-Bulwer
Treaty.

LONDON, June 22.-In a tentative,
easy going sort of way the Cabinet has
begun to consider the Nicaragua treaty
matter. Lord Pauncefote has explained
many things to Lord Lansdowne, the
foreign secretary, and the latter is once
mare graphing the problem. 1t is
needless to say that the foreign Office
has no intention of hurrying, and in
the course of a month or so it may
come to a decision. This will take the
form Of instructions to Lord Paunce-
fote, who will return to the Uniteu
States. These instructions viii prob
ably not be officially communicated to
the State Department until Congress
shall convene.
Lord Pauncefote will probably be
permitted to interpret his instructions
pretty broadly, and they show signs of
being elastic enough to provide for any
contingency except a direct refusal on
the part of the Senate to recognize the
validity of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty.
Lord Lansdowne is as persistent as
ever on this point, and however willing
he may be to abrogate it, he will Wig
orously maintain the potentiality of
the Clayton Bulwer treaty until such
time as both signatories shall have
agreed to it's abrogation.
A high official In theRcourse of con-
vcrsation with a representative of the
Associated Press, said
Americans seem to think we are try
ing to delay the construction of the
canal, but this is entirely wrong. We
are just as anxious as they to see 1t
completed, and are willing to do almost
anything to further that end; but we do
not want to see a treaty we made in
good faith torn up like a piece of paper,
and we still consider that we are en-
titled to some quid pro quo for the re-
of our treaty rights. .
A recent special cable dispatch say
ing that the Nicaragua canal question
had been practically settled and that
Lord Pauncefote in consequence would
not return to the United States, caused
much amusement. Tt is utterly un-
founded. On the highest authority the
Associated Press is able to state that
Lord Pauncefote will remain Ambassa-
dor to the United States for the rest OF
his days, or as long as he cares to re-
tain the position.

A CHURCH DYNAMITED.
Saloon Men Retahate on Anti-Joint
Minister.

MANHATTAN. Kan, June 22.-An
attempt was made at 2:3o this morning
to blow up the First Methodist Church
with dynamite. It is believed to be the
work of jointists who directed their
spite against Rev. j. NJ. Miller, pastor
of the church, because of his crusade
against the saloons. No arrests have
been made
A powerful explosive was thrown up
on the door of the main entrance. blow
ing a large hole in the door shattering
the steps and breaking number of
stained glass windows. The damage
will amount to several hundred dollars.
The parsonage adjoining was not in
jured.
Rev Mr.. Miller was elected Mayor
this spring, and has walked bitter
fight on the joints. Last Thursday six
iointists were fined s100 each and sem
fenced to sixty days in Jail, their con-
viction being secured on evidence work
ed up by the minister.

many has now adopted a fair and ra-
tional basis, though, of course, in COM.
mon the United States and Great
Britain would have liked the indem
nifty to be smaller. 1t is admitted that
Great Britain is partly responsible for
the delay in deciding the method of
payment, but it is maintained that she
is the largest trader with China, is
more vitally concerned than any other
power in keeping down the duty on
imports.
This question:, said an official "is
about the only one which now prevents
a total conclusion of the negotiations,
and no doubt it will be solved shortly.
In any case, our trade is bound to suf-
fer, and we want to minimize the loss
by the substitution, to some extent, of
concessions in lieu of increased taxa

gressive attitude, and we belieye that

MURDER OF A
STATESMAN
Ex.Minister of Japan to the
United States Has Been
Assassinated.

YOKOHAMA, June 21.-Hoshi Toru,
who was Minister of Communications
in the Ito Cabinet, was stabbed today
at meeting of the City Assembly and
died shortly afterward Hoshi Toru
was japanese Minister at Washington
and was formerly president of the
House. The assassination is supposed
to have been due to politics.
The assassin of Hoshi Toru is man
of about 50 years of age, occupying a
good social and public position. He
declared the blow was struck in the in
erests of the country.
WASHINGTON, June q. Officials
of the japanese legation were shocked
when informed of the assassination.
Mr.. Hoshi's service here as Minister
lasted from 1885 to 1898 He is well
known in diplomatic and official circles.
Before coming here he was prominent
in the politics of his country, and on
returning to Japan he became a mem
ber of the Cabinet, serving as Minister
of Commerce His official life in Wash
ington and at home was marked by
vigor and decisiveness, and the char
acteristics brought him much enmity in
certain political circles in Japan. This
resulted in charges affecting his
integrity as a member fof the Cabinet,
and rather than compromise his asso-
ciates by the controversy, he tender
ed his resignation and began libel suits
against his detractors. Feeling ran high
over this affair. and it is probably due
to this that the fatality occurred
Mr.. Hoshi leaves a widow and one
son, the latter nine years old. He was
forty-eight years of age, and besides his
prominence in politics, was student
and a man of literary accomplishment

SEVENTEEN PEOPLE DIE IN
A1BlG FIRE IN NEW JERSEY

Mr.. and Mrs. John Clone, burned about
face and body.
The building in which the explosion
occurred was a frame tenement four
stories high, with stores on the ground
floor. The middle store was occupied
by Rittenberg. Ten families occupied
flats in the building. So great was the
force of the explosion that a boy play
ing in the street half a block away
was lifted to his feet and hurled
against an iron fence, one Of his legs
being broken. A trolley car was di-
rectly in front of the building when
the explosion occurred. The burst Of
flame blown out into the street scorch-
ed the sides of the car and singed the
hair of the passengers.
A number of those who were on the
upper floors of the building when the
explosion took place were either
stunned or burned to death or found
escape cut off and were suffocated
!After the first explosion there was a
succession of smaller ones, and then
came a second big explosion, which
was muffled and deadened, and proba-
bly, occurred in the cellar.
Every window seemed to be spout
ing flames within minute after the
first explosion. A woman. her clothing
on fire, ieaped out of one of the win
dows and fell to the yard below. Her
body was dragged out of reach of the
flames. but the flesh was roasted and
dropped from the bones. She later
proved to be a Mrs. Williams.
Mrs. Williams husband was a Grip
pie. His wife is supposed to have re-
mained longer than she could with
safety in an effort to save him. He
was found burned to a crisp on his
bed.
Some of the occupants of the rooms
dronped from the windows and were
bruised. Others hung from the Win
dows until the firemen came and
