ELK SLAYER is FINED.

SEATTLE, Wash, May 19.-Deputy
Game Warden Ref is determined to
break up the practice of shooting elk
out of season. The head hunters
have been so numerous of late that
there is danger of killing all the elk
in the state. The poachers have been
so perniciOus that the authorities at
Washington have become aroused and
vigorous prosecutions are to follow
each detection.
Game Warden Ref has returned
from Hoquiam, where he appeared
against Roy NJ. Cabot, a taXidermist
of that town, last Saturday, There
were four charges against Cabot, and
the evidence produced showed that he
had been operating on a large scale.
Smithsonian institute saying that he
could get elk specimens in this state
either alive or dead, and made a deal
to furnish the institution with several
animals.
Last August ne wrote the manager
of the institute regarding a kill he had
made in the OIympics, when he killed
three male elk. They were defective,
however, so he did not send them to
Washington. The law prohibits the
killing of more than one elk by a
single person in a season.
Last December Cabot shot fine
specimen and sent it to Washington.
1t was recovered by the authorities,
however, and returned to this state,
Mr.. Ref had obtained the entire cor
respondence that Cabot had had with
the Smithsonian institution, SO that
there was nothing left for Cabot to do
Dat to plead guilty.
I-e entered a pea of guilty to four
charges AID was fined 500 on each
coun. Three Of the fines were suspend
ed, however, during good behavior in
the future, and he was warned that he
must obey the law and that a strict
watch would be kept on his move
ments.
Mr.. Ref says that other charges will
be brought soon, for he has nearly
gathered enough evidence now against
other pOachers to warrant their ar
rest.

Presbyterian General Assembly.

BUFFALO, n. Y, May 19.-The La
fayette avenue Presbyterian church.,
spacious though it is, was scarcely able
to accommodate the crowds who sought
admittance this morning at the OPEN
ing of the 116th annual session of the
Presbyterian general Assembly. The
gathering was called to order at II o.
clock by the retiring moderator, the
Rev. Robert F. COyle, d. d. of Denver.
Two hours prior to the formal opening
the chapel was thrown open to receive
the credentials of the commissioners,
numbering nearly 700, and an equal
number of alternates, and from that
hour until the assembly convened the
Rev. DR.. William H. Roberts, the
clerk, was kept busy distributing
badges and assigning the delegates to
their places. The galleries of the edi-
the opening hymn was sung, the spec
tators joining with the commissioners
and alternates in the rendition of the
anthem.
The sermon of the retiring moderator
occupied the entire morning session
and at its conclusion the assembly ad-
journed until a late hour in the after

noon to prepare for the election of the
new moderator the most important
practical business of the day.
The session begun today will con-
tinue for ten days longer. AS consti-
tuting the highest court in the church,
the assembly will be a matter of wide
spread interest; and many matters of
importance will be brought before it
for discussion and settlement. There
are no heresy trials, and 10 revision
of the confession of faith is expected,
discipline which are constantly coming
up in all sections of the country, and
which have been brought to the as
sembly for adjudication, will inject
plenty of doctrinal discussion into the
sessions.
Foremost among the questions to
receive attention is the proposed con-
soldation of the Presbyterian and the
Cumberland Presbyterian churches.
these churches for years past, but of
late they have been drawing closer
together and now there seems to be
little difficulty in the way of bringing
about a consolidation. A joint COM
mittee has arranged a plan of CONSOLE
dation, which must now be ratified by
the two denOminatio 1t is expect
ed that this will be DONE though there
will be opposition to the step, both at
the assembly here, and at the assembly
of the Cumberland Presbyterians,
which meets today at Dallas.
Another question of far-reaching i'm
pOrtance touches the color line in the
Presbyterian church. For some years
past overtures have come to the gem
eral assembly, asking the privilege of
esta blshing separate presbyteries for
white and cOlored ministers in the
same territory. Such a proposition has
always been defeated and it Is ex
pected the committee in charge of the
question, and which has been deliberat-
ing on it for the past year, will again
report against it.
Another important committee which
is to report at the present session is
that which is known as the $20,000,-
600 committee on the endowment of
colleges. especially in the west: This
committee will submit a plan for rails
ing the needed money and this report
will doubtless provoke much discus
sion.

probable that the prisoners will be let
off with fines. T. \. Wood is an at
torney in this city, and for years was
prominent in the agitation that pre-
coded the pensioning of the soldiers of
the First Oregonian volunteers, who
aided in suppressing the Indians in
Oregon and Washington in an early
day. After the pension law had been
passed, Wood Immediately commenced
practice as a pension attorney, and,
through his wide acquaintance with
the old soldiers, did an extensive
business. In some way the govern
ment became suspicious of the genu-
ineness of some of Woods clients,
and started an investigation, which
revealed that Wood was uttering false
afidavits when that was necessary to
perfect an application for pension.
Wood was arrested, brought to trial,
and today convicted of the charge.
Hosea is the son of T. A. Wood, and
his partner, and aided his father in
his illegal practice.
The Woods will appeal to a higher
court.

Doubles Its Capital.

CLEN O., May 19.-At a
special meeting held at the general
offices here today the stockholders of
the Cleveland & Pittsburg Railroad
company took favorable action on the
proposition of the directors to increase
the capital stock from $11,000,000 to
$22, 100000.
The increase in the capital stock is
made for the purpose of raising funds
to meet the payments for many i'm
provements already made on the line
and to provide funds for completing
the double tracking of the road from
Cleveland to Pittsburg, as has been
planned for years.

FRANCHISE is REPEALED
North Yakima Citizens Disapprove of
the Water Company.

NORTH YAKIMA. May 19.-The
city council has passed an ordinance
repeating the franchise of the North
west Water & Light company, success
sors to the Yakima Water, Light &
Power company. An ordinance was
passed last fall granting a thirty-seVen
year franchise to the company. The
citizens fought the measure, carried the
issue to the municipal election and won
out. The repeal tonight is due to the
failure of the company to make cheaper
rates as promised by the new owners
last winter. What effect it will have
ON the rates it is hard to tell. The
city win probably build its own light
plant and condemn AND purchase the
old water company.
