STEAMBOAT RATES
ANDREW NEwHALL TALKS ABOUT
ROUND TRIP FARES
Tells Why the Concession Was With
drawn Last Spring-Objects to Being
Placed In . False Position-Child La.
Dor at Roche Harbor.

Andrew Newhall, owner of the
steamer Buckeye, was in town Mon
day. II see by the ISLANDER" said
he, "that the Thompson Steamboat
Company has restored the old round
trip rates between all way points and
Seattle and Whatcom. You may say
for me that this action was taken with
out any consultation with me or any
intimation that such reduction was
contemplated. l do not in the least
object to the restoration Of the round
trip rates, but / want the travelling
public to understand that when the
concession, which had been in effect
for years, was withdrawn last spring it
was at the instance of the superintend-
ent of the Thompson company, who
urged it 80 strongly that l consented,
as / did also to some changes in the
freight rates in the tariff then agreed
upon and which am now reliably in
formed the Thompson people have not
lived up to. 1 see that you announced
also that rate of one fare for the
round trip would be given between
island points and Whatcom this week
on account of the fair. That is all
right, the half rate "goes," but it is
simply another instance of the failure
Of the Thompson people to be guided
by their own proposition to confer with
me in the making of rates, regular or
special, between all common points. ]
have kept faith with them absolutely
in every agreement that I have made
and have endured good deal of "kick-
ing' from the public because of having
done so, and for that reason feel like
kicking little myself when my COM
petitors, either Intentionally or other
wise, place me in, false position. l
am ready at all times to make any rea-
sonable concessions in the matter of
fares or freight rates and not infre-
quently think that the people of the
county as rule do not appreciate how
much they are indebted to the Buck
eye for the fact that passenger and
freight rates are as reasonable as they
are now and have been for a number
of years." =.

constituted one of the most brilliant fea-
lures. The Duchess Of Marlborough had
new coronet, even more magnificent
than the big pearl-tipped tiara she had
hitherto worn at court. Mrs. Paget's
dress was embroidered with diamonds and
pearls. Lady Abinger, who was Miss
Magruder daughter of the late Commo-
dore 'Magruder, U. S. NJ, and widow OF the
third Baron Abinger) had her peeress
robes embroidered with gold and, besides
her diamond coronet, would have worn a
four-row pearl necklace clasped with a
huge sapphire and surrounded with dia-
monds, once the property of Marie An
tofnette.
Cora, Lady Strafford, formerly Mrs,
Samuel Colgate of New York, would cer-
tainly have made a sensation, as she had
very high diamond tiara and instead OF
a necklace would have had rubies and
pearls, draped like an aguillette, On her

The King case went to the Jury late
this afternoon. Only one witness was
called this morning, and then County At
torney Fred H. Boardman delivered his
closing address. He spoke for two hours
and the court took a recess until 1870 p.
m, when the defense had its inning. Late
this afternoon Judge Simpson charged the
Jury and sent 1t out to deliberate.
The case proper was begun week ago
to-day, two days having been spent Sc
curing jury. It required, therefore, some
thing over six days for trial. the greater
part Of to-day having been taken up with
argument. The indictment accuses Cap
tain Norm" w. King Of having become
an accessory to felony after the fact. in
that he permitted the release of one
Harry Adams from the county jail when
he knew that Adams was. criminally in
terested in the theft of = diamond stud
stolen from J. S. Hooper, real estate
man. at the Great. Western station on
March of last year. The contention is
the gem and appropriated 1t to his own
use. - .>-
In his argument, however, Mr.. Board
man laid great stress upon the point
that it was not necessary for the state to
show that King really received the dia-
mond-only that he had permitted Adams
to escape, when he knew the man was
guilty. He claimed that this fact had
been proved by numerous witnesses, and
that the jury could throw out entirely the
testimony of "Billy" Edwards, If 1t saw
fit, and yet must convict on the evidence
submitted.
Mr.. Boardn1an pointed out that even If
itawa admitted that Edwards testimony
was affected by the fact that he had been
convicted of q crime, King was in the
same category. Interrupted by an OBJ
lection from the counsel for the defense
to strong comparisons along this line, the
speaker turned 1t back on the defense by
calling attention to the fact that they
were wincing. Great prominence was
given the fact that Joseph Day had taken
the stand without credentials and without
any documentary proof whatever that Ed
wards had done time In Oregon. 1t was
simply Days word against Edwards.
Mr.. Boardman spoke. most deliberately
and appeared to have prepared himself
with minutest care for his final effort.
The sensational incident Of the day came
early. Yesterday afternoon Joseph Day
took the stand and testified that he had
arrested Edwards at Portland, Ore, on
charge of burglary, and that BILLY"
had served term OF one year in the state
penitentiary. This was an impeachment
