The railroad pass Is often the beginning
Of corruption with Legislators. We urge the
strict enforcement of the constitutional pro-

When legislator takes a pass he puts II In
the knowledge OF the representative OF tho
railroad that he has violated the law, and

STATE COAL INDUSTRY.
Business Has Expanded Greatly
During Past Year.


Tacoma. Feb. 1.-State Coal Mine
Inspector Charles +. Owen has his an
nual report of the coal mining indus
try of the state prepared and has gone
to Olympia to present it to Governor
Mcbride. The report will make the
best all-around showing of any of the
reports of the state inspector. 1t dem.
onstrates that there is more capital in
volved, more miness in operation. more
men employed. more new development
work under way. more coal exported
from the state and more expansion of
the business in contemplation in the
way of new buildings. the purchase of
new machinery. the opening of add :
tional mines and the building of branch
railroads to the same than at any time
since the first coal mine was opened in
the state.
In an interview Mr.. Owen states that
the expansion of the business is simply
evidence that the coal industry is keep
ing pace. and perhaps little in the
lead of the other industries of the state.
The output for the past year was on
the record breaking order.

FORCING A FIGHT
COLOMBIAN GOVERNMENT pow
ERLESS TO PREVENT ATTACK.
Cable From BOgota Says That in
Less Than II Month Ten Thou
sand Men Will Be on Isthmus--
General Rdyes Says He Is Igno-
rant of Alleged Movement.

New York, Feb. This cable dis
patch was received here during the
night from an official source in Bogo-
TIA, according to the Sun:
Government is helpless in effort 70
prevent war In less than month
from now 10000 men will be on the
isthmus.
This information, confirming rumorS
cabled from Panama that Colombia
intends organizing and sending an ex-
petition againts Panama, comes AS ii
surprise, in view of the changed atti-
tude of the Colombians, who had APP
parently accepted the inevitable and
depended on General Raphael Reyes,
the special envoy to Washington, to
save what he could from the wreck
says the Sun. General Reyes was to
have sailed Saturday for Barranquilla
on the steamer Valencia, but for the
second time he delayed his departure.
General Pedro Nelispino and DR.. Lucs
Caballero, colleagues of General Reyes
on the Colombian commission, sailed
on the Valencia.
The story continues on seemingly
good authority, it is said, that General
Reyes continues here because his me-
gotiations with the state department
at Washington have not been complete
ly broken off and that he has a tenta-
tive promise from this government
that Colon bia will be taken care of
with pecuniary balm for her injured
feelings.
Panama, Feb. News has reached
here from Bogota that inasmuch as
Generals Reyes and Cavallero have as
sured Colombia that the United States
will only object to her landing forces
in the canal zone the Colombian gov
eminent intends to organize and send
an expedition against Panama.
The only explanation of this news
from Bogota is that the government of
Colombia is compelled to take some
step to prevent its downfall. This is
said to be imminent, as President Mar
roquin has lost all prestige he ever
had. There is much speculation in
Bogota as to the outcome of this move,
should it be put through.
People arriving here from Colombia
declare the situation in that country
is growing worse every day.

to King Menelik.

Marseilles. Feb. 1.-The following
details of the governmental mission to
King Menelik, of Abyssihia, which
was led by United States Consul Gen
eral Robert P. Skinner have been OBJ
tanned.
Mr.. SINNERS party has just arrived
here on board the steamer Victoria.
The American marines and blue
jackets who accompanied the expedi-
ton were left at Alden and went ON to
join the American gunboat Machias.
Consul Skinner and other members
of the party are in good health and
they speak enthusiastically of the re-
ception accorded them by King Meme
lik. On the way to the coast the par
ty saw one elephant and heard num-
Der of lions, but experienced no excit-
ing adventures. In the course of an
interview Mr.. Skinner said:
President Roosevelt selected most
opportune time for establishing rela-
tons with Ethiopia. as Americans
have heretofore been too Indifferent to
the remarkable development which is
now going on in Abyssinia Our cot
ton goods pass through many hands
before being sold at high prices in
Abyssinia, but now Americans have
an opportunity to conduct their own
trade. King Menelik will send some
of the products of his country to the
st. Louis exposition, as well as COM
mission composed of able men to show
the Americans the commercial oppor-
tunities in Abyssinia The king is
broad minded statesman who will well
come Americans
During the visit of the Skinner par
ty at the capital, King Menelik re-
ceived them surrounded by an impos-
ing assemblage of 1000 functionaries.
The escort of American marines estab-
lished a camp called Camp Roose-
welt. which attracted great deal of
interest
The king made a personal inspection
of the camp, which lasted for three
hours. and after having witnessed the
maneuvers of the marines, he asked
one of the men for his gun and loaded
and fired it. The act on the part of
the king pleased the visitors greatly
The Americans We're impressed with
the assimilative ability of the Abys-
sinians Consul Skinner saying that the
country is being rapidly undermined,
and that new roads, bridges. water
supplies. telephones and telegraph
lines are being constructed. He con-
siders the Abyssinians the japanese"
