STATE OF WASHINGTON
Republicans Will Have Over
Ninety Majority in the
Legislature.

Seattle, Nov. More complete re-
Turns show the sweeping nature of the
Republican victory in the state of
Washington, as result of Tuesdays
elections.
An analysis of the membership of the
legislature shows that on joint ballot
the Republicans will have not less than
113, while the Democrats are assured
of II. According to the latest returns,
there are but six members of both
houses in doubt. Of these, one is in
Cowlitz county, where close fight has
been waged between McHenry and Van
Name. East of the mountains there is
some doubt as to the two representa-
tives in the First district and one each
in the Seventh, Ninth, Sixteenth and
Seventeenth. 1t would appear from
the incomplete returns that the Repub-
licans are assured of at least three of
the six places in doubt, so that on Joint
ballot the figures probably will be
Republicans l 10, Democrats 20. While
the returns are as yet incomplete, the
result is sufficiently known to justify
the statement that the majority in the
state is in excess of Is 900.

HEARST SUIT FILED.
Coal Carrying Roads
Charged With Illegal Acts.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The complaint
of William R. Hearst, of New York
against the anthracite coal carrying
railroads. charging that the latter 8
rate for the transportation of coal from
the anthracite field to New England,
New York, Maryland and the District
of Columbia are unjust, has been filed
with the interstate commerce commits
sion. The commission Immediately
sent notifications of the complaint to
the laliroad companies named as de-
PENDANTS.
The complaint alleges that the roads
subject the consumers at points named
and the producers and shippers of coal
who are not common carriers or cOrpor-
atoms owned and controlled by common
carriers to unreasonable prejudice and
disadvantage in violation of the inter
state commerce act. 1t charges that
the rates are discriminating and pre-
judicial to the interests of the dealers
and consumers of anthracite coal, as
compared with the transportation rates
for bituminous coal for much longer
distances. and also as compared with
the defendants rates and charges on
other car load freight traffic generally.
1t is alleged that the Lehigh, Central
OF New Jersey, Delaware. Lackawanna
q Western. Erie, New York, Ontario &
Western, Susquehanna & Western and
the Philadelphia & Reading roads have
entered into the pooling agreement.

COLVILLE RESERVATION.
Mr.. Jones Will Introduce Bill to
Open South Half.

Seattle, Nov. 10. - CongresssmaH
Wesley l.. Jones will introduce a bill in
the next session of congress for the
opening of the south half of the Col
vile reservation. He believes this
measure can be passed at the short aes-
sion; if not, that it will have assumed
a standing that will entitle it to early
consideration year later.
The south half is still closed, though
the north half of the reservation has
been opened to settlement. The rich
mineral deposits located in the south
half cannot be developed until relief is
obtained from congress, and agricultural
land which would be taken up immed-
lately is lost to the people. This mat
ter, Congressman Jones believes, is I'M
derstood at Washington, and he expects
to receive hearty support for his bill
when it comes before congress.

COAST DEFENSPS
GENERAL MILES MAKES Cow,
STATEMENTS.
Urges That More Attention Rae

the Pacific---Also Greater Can.
Equipping and Maintainina
listing Defenses.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 7.-Tbo
nual report OF General Miles. which
has been made public, makes some sou
sational statements regarding pafn;o
coast defenses, and the conditions ~
army life in the Department of tba
Columbia. 'n0
General Miles urges that more alto.
tion should be given to coast defensa
particularly on the Pacific, and great,
care used in the maintenance of exio.
ing Notifications. Commenting on tho
report of General Hughes, commandno
the department of California. who calls
attention to this need, Miles says that
these remarks of the department com
mander simply illustrate the urgent and
imperative necessity of having build.
ings properly constructed to shelter oar.
risons when the engineers have com.
pleted Notifications and the ordinance
department has supplied guns for these
expensive coast defenses.
The report then reviews conditions
in the Department of the Columbia
where General Miles urges large i'm.
provements. He advises the division
of appropriations for buildings, grounds
and transportation between geographi.
cal departments in proportion to the
number of troops in each.
General Milels says that three com.
panies of artillery are now living in
tents and some officers are living in
huts not suitable for the shelter of ami.
mails. This, he says, is discouraging to
the troops, injurious to the health of
garrisons and is no doubt the cause Of
many assertions.
The report calls attention to the fact
that hundreds of thousands of dollars
are being used for cavalry, while an ex-
ceedingly small amount is devoted to
the shelter of artillerymen exposed to
trying climate on the Pacific coast.
The troops are required to be located
adjacent to Notifications, hence Miles
believes that buildings should be prop
erly constructed where they will be re-
quired permanently. In speaking Of
the incomplete condition of fortifca-
tion-, especially on the Pacific coast, he
says that millions have been expended
in engineering and ordinance work.
and yet commands are not properly sup
piled with ammunition, electrical
plants and other appliances essential to
the effective use of the Notifications in
actual warfare.
General Miles report is remarkable
for the absence of any discussion Of
subject which it had been thought
would be handled at considerable
length and emphatically. Before Miles
left san Francisco he was reported to
have said that he would come out in
favor of canteen law, but the report
does not mention the mater.
Miles closes by paying a high tribute
to the honor and integrity of the officers
and men comprising the army at the
persent time.

WAR AGAINST MOROS.
Position Mt Mncin Too Strong For
Present Attack.

ITtheht FNAaSeAs
MANILA. Sept. 24.--Captain John j.
Pcrshing of the Fifteenth infantry,
operating against the Moros in the is
land of Mndanao, has found the Moro
position at Macin, island of Mindanao,
to be strong and has delayed his attack
on it. He must throw pontoon bridge
across a swamp and possibly receive
endorsements before engaging the
enemy.
The captain made a reconnaissance
close to the Moro position and found Il
fort on an elevation close to the lake
shore. hanked by swamps, virtually
making the promontory an island.
The Americans built RATS prcpara-
tory to attacking the Moros from the
lake and then decided to bridge the
swamp and make an attack from all
sides.
The suItans of Macin regard the posi-
ton as imprcgnable and have refused
to treat with Captain pershing.
Brlgadier General Samuel S. Sumner
will send the Moros an ultimatum de-
manding peace and the return of stolen
property. If his demands are rejected,
the place will he assaulted.
Captain pershing has carefully ex-
! amned the position and its surround
ings and is confident of his ability to
capture it without serious losses.
