A Statement From washington.
The following authorized statement
referring to the Beuaue case, has been
received from the Washington authori-
ties
ut is understood that the action talks
en- in the case Of Benque, the writer Of
the threatening letter, was not re-
sorted to at the instance Of the secre-
tary Of state. Mr.. Hay receives d good
many such letters and as a rule pays
no attention to them III this case the
letter came into fhe hands Of the off

thought likely that he would make q

IT was learned that Beuque had

Beuaue's capture was made possible
by the fact that he made no effort Is
conceal either his name Or address
both being plainly given.
Secretary Hay has received similal
letters from at least twenty persons

CIRCUS sAru1DAY.

Saturday Is the big circus day. The
four score and more Of cars required
to haul the big Ringing organiza-
'tion will arrive from Colfax early
Saturday morning, and the circus COL
ony of over 1000 will quickly go into
camp.
The circus day will begin with the
parade, starting from the grounds at
10 O'Clock. The Ringing pageant is
worth undergoing much inconven-
fence to see. 1t offers all the familiar
features Of such displays. besides
much that is novel. The wagons and
properties are spick and span and the
animals look trim and carefully cared
for. There are more than 600 horses
with the show, and all Of these, from
the aristocratic high-stepper Of cost
and breeding to the heavy draught,
will have their place In the moving
street spectacle. So will the herd
of 40 elephants, meekly following
camels. mounted soldiery and bands
and tableau floats. fashionable traps,
women riders richly gowned and
clowns. The Ringing parade never
fails to fill the Spokane streets with
a holiday multitude.
