Following is the weather summary
for the week ending on the 7th inst,
issued by the observation bureau at
Seattle:
The week waa, throughout, one OF
unusually cool weather for the time OF
year, and one of frequent showers.
The mean temperature of the week
was from four to six degrees below
normal. In the division of the State
west of the Cascade mountains the
showers were heavy, and the total pre-
cipitation averaged about nine tenths
OF an inch. In the eastern division
the showers we're frequent and copious
in Spokane, Whitman. Columbia, Gar
field and Walla Walla counties. In
Lincoln, Adams, Franklin and Klicki.
tat counties the showers were light,
but nevertheless of much benefit,
while in Douglas and other central
counties the showers were infrequent
and so light as to be of no material
benefit.
In the western counties the precipi.
tation, although beneficial to most
crops, was more than was needed, and
damaged clover and grass BY lodging
them, as we'll as delaying cutting.
The long and heavy rains in some
localities caused cherries to crack
badly, and much Of the crop is rotting
on the trees. The effect on hops was
unfavorable, causing increase OF yer:
min. Sunshine is needed. Oats, DO.
tatoes, garden truck and FOOT crops
were much benefited. A good oat crop
seems assured, and potatoes are in
general bloom. In the bottom lands
it is now trifle too wet. Next week
hsying will be general if the weather
is favorable. The crop will be heavy.
but much clover will be spoiled if not
cut soon.

The EVANSVILLE DISTURBANCE
Rioting at Evansville. Ind, following
celebration OF the national holiday, re-
suited Monday night. in a so.called
racc.war. It seems the trouble started
by negro getting obstreperous and
starting for his gun. When he re.
turned an officer attempted 10 place
him under arrest, when the negro
quickly turned and shot him. The
officer in falling drew bis pistol and
fred at the negro who fell, where.
upon both emptied their revolvers at
each other while lying on the sidewalk.
This led to an armed conflict between
mob, bent upon lynching the ne.
gro, and the militia called out to quell
the growing conflict. Seven persons
are reported killed and many wound.
ed. Gov. Durbin is indignant that the
Sheriff of Vanderburg county had not
quelled the riot in its incipiency, by
swearing in 1000 deputies instead OF
100. "If he had performed his duty
fearlessly," says the executive, "the
disturbance would not have got be-
yond the bounds of local control"

FRIDAY MORNING. JtLI 70. 1903.
Our Water Troubles.

Having found the cause Of the roly
condition OF the city water, the com
pany Is now engaged in an earnest
endeavor to afford adequate and per
manent relief from the sediment that
came from a large stream Of water
which broke forth in the old channel,
and after a day or two disappeared to
burst forth later on and occasion a
renewal Of the same trouble.
The water company have secured
the services Of Mr. Cummings, OF Seat.
tie, competent hydraulic engineer,
who seems to grasp the abnormal con-
ditions that exist and to possess conf
dence that he may be able to control
the new flow and prevent it from con-
terminating the former supply, al
though it may not add anything to its
volume. Mr.. G. says it will require
couple weeks time to complete the
work now being done under his super
vision.
In forming judgment upon such
matters, it is usual for those interested
to look simply on one side OF the ques-
ton and to use language that seems to
be projected from a twelve foot mega.
phone and designed simply to over
whelm the hapless victims of, maybe,
wholly unexpected and altogether un.
avoidable circumstances.
In this instance, the water COMPANY
had promptly sank a large pipe and
was engaged in an endeavor to control
the new spring, when the flow sudden
ly stopped. 1t was very naturally
thought that it had disappeared for
good-sood of the company, of the
people, as we'll as the "good" which
means an interminable period-but 10
it came forth with renewed power, and
apparently to stay.
1t is hardly probable that Mr.. Faux.
ner could have made any more intelli-
gent Roadway towards abolishing the
evil, had not the self-assured little
charlottesville Recorder-not began
her strident outcry, and DOMINIC her
poke.bonnet, gone forth to tap those
conceded conservators of public opin.
ion who always have their semaphores
raised to catch, interpret and impart
the true spirit OF wisdom on all public
events. 1t seems strnge, however, that
they shouts so completely ignore these
conditions, as we'll as the fact that the
driving of hundred or more artesiap
wells in this city has we'll nigh knocked
the digestion" out of Olympia water
securities, especially as many of the
owners of these wells had no sooner
struck water than they organized little,
independent water companies to supply
their neighbors. They had probably a
right to do this, but it cannot be dis
pused that the Limitation thus placed
upon the service has crippled it's abil-
ity for speedily meeting such emer-
gencies, though happily not enough to
deprive us of our magnificent water
supply for the fire-hydrants.

HOP-GROwERs LosE.-It seems that
the boom in hops has subsidized and
prices have declined to Is cents as the
top price. There are 1000 bales still
unsold in this State. and the prospect
for an abundant yield this season
seems to exist the world over, condi.
tions which impel holders to sell at
the present rate who refused Is cents
during the Winter. Some of them
confidently believed from the scarcity
of good hops, and previous failures in
many countries, that the price would
60 to 40 cents and probably higher.
Contracts for this seasons crop are
unobtainable from unsettled condi.
tons which may gain some stability
within month or six weeks when the
California crop will be on the market.

RoosEvELT's attempt to create party
capital out of the Jewish persecution
in Russia, by sending the protest of
Hebrews in this country to the Gear,
has met with the rebuke that might
have been expected when made by
country which has been so strenuous
in resisting any form of transgression
of assumed national rights over the
American continent. The Foreign
Minister of Russia says: "The Gear
alone can decide whether the petition
be received, but Alexander III. would
never have received such q petition"
The Novoe Vremya also refers to the
United States restricting immigration,
and concludes: Russia is in no
ways assuming the right to criticize
the internal measures OF the United
States, nor will she tolerate the least
interference into her private affairs on
the part of Americans"

Hongkong and the Azores it passed
over foreign cables. At the Azores
it was taken up again by the Com
mercial cables and sent to Canso, to
New York and to Oyster Bay.
One of the anomalies of the service
is that it destroys all idea OF the ordi-
nary computations of time. For in
stance, a message starting around the
world at 5 A. NJ. to-day would arrive at
Honolulu at IL P. NJ. yesterday, at
Midway at 10 P. NJ. yesterday, at Guam
at Z P. NJ. to-day and at Manila at 6 p.
NJ. to-day. 1t would pass through In

to New York before 6 A. NJ. Thus it
would have made en- excursion from

rived back at New York within one
hour of the time it started.

Bremerton VS.. The United States.

1t seems that the professional visit
of Mr. George G. Israel to Bremerton,
as the attorney for w. F. Gibbons &
Co., proprietors of the Fashion saloon
OF that city, and three other of the
twenty-five saloons which had been
arbitrarily deprived of their licenses,
by the Bremerton council, has been
prolific of results. He at once obtained
from Judge Denny of SnohOmish and
Kitsap countie. a writ of certorari, that
is a mandate from superior to an in
ferior court to send to the former GER
tain proceedings therein pending or the
records and proceedings in some cause
already terminated in case where the
procedure is not according to course
of law.
Bremerton, being of the Fourth.
class cities, the license fee is a recog-
nized means OF revenue, and the con.
tention shown is that the license had
been revoked without sufficient notice
or opportunity to be heard in defense.
II this state OF facts is shown before
the higher court, the saloon men will
of course win, and if even the decision
is adverse there are generally errors
enough to be shown by shrewd at
torney to justify an appeal, which in
wolves time, during which period the
saloon is enabled to maintain its bust
ness undisturbed. AS result the
saloons are again open to the public
despite the order of Secretary Shaw,
backed by his naval portfolio, that
they should be suppressed.
Be it remembered also, that so far
had the contention gone that boy
colt had been ordered by the Depart
ment of the Bremerton Navy Yard by
the Pacific squadron so long as the
saloons were allowed to do business in
proximity thereto. AS result, sew
eral warships had been ordered to
rendezvous at San Francisco, and it
was only within the past few days that
the order had been rescinded and
three historic vessels allowed to visit
BremertOn, doubtless as a recognition
that the probational olive-branch in.
volved in revocation OF licenses had
been accepted.
When, however, the news that writ
had been issued reinstating the saloon
business reached Secretary Shaw by
wire, Jovian thunderbolt seems to
have been hurled with equal precision,
and yesterday it was announced that
the three ships had flown, notwith-
standing Seattle, Tacoma and Olym-
pia had been making arrangements for
an excursion Sunday, to visit the grim
monsters of war. All these excursions
have been dedeclared off, as a conse.
quence of this "French leave" taken
by these proteges of our very toucby
Uncle Samuel.
Had this policy of non-toleration
been exercised at the other navy yards
OF our government, the authority to
override local municipal provisions
would not seem to be so much of a
violation of vested rights of law, in
which the humblest individual and
the smallest municipal corporation
should possess iull protection.
