DON'T FAIL TO VOTE

Republicans should not neglect to
vote at the coming election in this
county under the impression that it is
needless to do so because of the fact
that there is no opposition local ticket.
They should not forget that county
officers are not the only ones to be
elected, but there are also three men,
bers of congress, a justice of the SUI
preme court and a joint senator with
Clalam and jefferson counties, and for
all of these positions there are Demo
cratic as well as Republican nominees.
Should great many Republicans stay
away from the polls and the Democrats
poll q full vote it is quite within the
range of possibility that DR.. Lewis, of
Port Angeles, the Democratic nominee
for joint senator, might be elected over
Hon. Cyrus F. Clapp, of Port Town
send, the Republican candidate. And
another reason why Republicans in
every precinct should poll as large a
vote as possible lies in the fact that pre-
cinct representation in the county con-
vention and county representation in
the state convention is based upon the
vote cast.
These are all reasons which should
appeal to Republicans as partisans, and
entirely apart from them but even
more important in a material way is
the reason afforded by the submission
to vote of the question of building a
new court house, in which every citi-
zen should he interested regardless of
his political views. The county COM
missioners. all of whom must be con-
sidered free from the influence of any
purely local consideration, inasmuch
as not one of them is resident of the
county seat, are unanimous in the
opinion that the "present court house
facilities are TOTALLY INADEQUATE
for the use of the county and that it is
NECESSARY for the expeditions and
convenient transaction of the county's
business and for the SAFE KEEPING OF
THE COUNTY RECORDS that a new
court house be built"
A situation calling forth such strong
resolution from men entrusted by the
people of the county with the impor-
'tant duty of supervising the county's
business and providing all needful facil.
tiles for its transaction and for the care
of public records is certainly important
enough to appeal TO every thoughtful
voter and induce him TO go to the
polls and vote "yes' upon the question
submitted.

A CARELESS CONSUL.
The Way Bret Hnrte Came to Lose
His Position at Glasgow.

When Bret Harte was consul at Glas-
Cow, he was seldom to be found in that
city, as he spent most Of his time in the
London drawing rooms, where he was
a general favorite, and delegated the
consular business to assistants. One
day while making one Of his rare WIS.,
it's to Glasgow he scraped acquaintance
with a stranger on the train. Each
seemed fascinated by the others per-
sonality, and time passed quickly. AT
last they reached the outskirts of a
large city.
what place is this?" inquired the
stranger.
81 haven't the slightest idea." replied
Harte. after looking out of the window.
A few minutes later the railway
guard opened the door of the compart-
ment and announced that they had ar
rived at Glasgow.
When Harte showed up at the con-
sulate the next morning, the first per-
son who advanced to greet him was the
agreeable stranger, who introduced
himself as a special agent of the home
government sent to investigate charges
Of neglect of duty on the part of the
consul.
The agent may have been affable, but
he was lacking in a sense Of humor,
for he evidently cabled his government
an account of the train incident, as
Harte's successor was soon after ap-
pointed.

From LAdriatico CThe Adratic). the
most importnt newspaper of Venice, Italy
is translated the following account Of the
arrest of the officers of the U. S. s.
Chicago
Decidedly when American sailors come
into our harbor they insist upon leaving
trace of their passage.
Two years ago we had rows. fights,
arrests and worse, and this year things
have gone even worse, so that the whole
city is I'm arms and wishes not TO have
any more of such visits.
''rhe other evening shortly after II
two Americans were sitting at the Angelo
cafe: they were yisibly intoxicated
THE place, II being holiday, was very
crowded. in the front room there Were
many ladies', and In the other two rooms
some people were quietly playing billiards
THE two Americans, who by their ap
pearance and dress seemed To be well-to-
do people were laughing outright oglinh
the ladies and making fun of the players
so as 10 attract general attention. Not
satisfied with that, they got up and APP
preached three gentlemen who were play
ing around a table and struck IL violently
with a cane.
"In the meantime the owner, foreseeing
danger. had wisely sent an alarm to the
police, and the policemen who were I'm at
tendance at the station of s Salvatore
came and after great trouble succeeded
In bringing out the two men. while the
frightened ladies ran away and the people
in the place protested against such provo
cation. When they came TO the Merceria
the policemen let the strangers go and
they proceeded 10 Piazza $. Marco. There
the disorders began again.
TROUBLE RENEWED.
'As soon as they reached the Piazza
the two Americans went toward the cafes
Aurora and Florian. where they starteu
TO upset the tables, to quarrel among
themselves and TO run after each other.
In the mean time other Americans, some
in civil dress and some in uniform had
arrived on the spot, some taking side with
one party and some with the other, con-
tinuing TO quarrel among themselves.
"None OF the people present cared TO
interfere. until at last Sergeant Lewis,
with three guards. Cortivo Baccovich and
Damiani, arrived on the scene. Their
presence caused the quarrel among the
Americans to stop. and then all together
turned against the guards and some citi-
zens who were near by.
There was a general boxing match.
until one of the most intoxicated was
secured and was being brought toward
the Dai bridge. when other sailors came
to the rescue. and a general fight began,
accompanied by all ssrts of imprecations
against Italy and the Italians.
Among the people present there were
Mr. G.. Mondani, a servant I'm the Eigh-
teenth Infantry, and two young men, r.

Yesterday the commander OF the Chi
cago took at last the measure the whole
city was hoping for and kept his people
on board. Exception was made for the
musical band which has not given any
ground for complaint. and for the men de-
tailed to the market and to the post
office. Two OF these, whise they were on
the Riva degli Schiavoni, were approached
by the Finances Guards and on each OF
them was found bottle OF cognac Be-

answered with insults and threatened 10
break the heads OF the guards with the
bottles. They were forced TO go 10 the
custom house. where they were detained
under the charge Of smuggling and as
sault on public officers.
The captain of the man-of-war Is
greatly grieved for such occurrences. and
not a few OF his men are In irons or under
arrest.
I'VE are informed that he, together with
the consul. paid yesterday a visit to the
Perfect to express his regrets for the incl
dents of the last two days. He stated
that the United States navy would deal
severely with the culprits, and that he
would take all necessary care in order

Time EXTENDED
Question as to Whether Action
Was Legal Before Court.

very interesting point was raised In
the case Of John +. Calvey, administrator.
VS.. Mary +. Olney. executrix, in Judge
Douglas court today. 1t was as 10 the
right Of a court of probate to extend the
time within which a creditor of an insol-
vent estate might prove claim.
Mr.. Calvey represents the estate OF
Catherine Calvey and Mary Il. Olney the
estate of Stephen l.. Omey. Creditors
were directed by the probate court to file
their claims within certain time. Mary
r.. Olney did not file a claim her tesla
tor had against Catherine Calvey's estate
within the time fixed. and the probate
court gave her additional time to do so.
The question is as to the legality oi
the extension OF time. Judge Douglas
did not announce his decision.
Il. II. Quinn is attorney for the Calvey
estate and James A. Williams represent
ed the Olney estate today.
