KEOKUK, Aug. 15.-To the st.
Louis exposition on a saw log, is
novel trip being taken by John Nc
Caffrey, who for over a quarter of
century has been log roller in this
city.
McCaffrey has made very few
changes in the log since it came out
of the northern pineries. A small
flag waves from one end and from
the other is rugged a rope basket to
carry a few extra clothes. Along the
side are eight "boom locks" or very
short sticks to carry the pike pole
when it is not in use.
The log is 16 feet long and two
feet thick at the larger end. The

She NEEDED
MORE MONEY

Ada Hurr, formerly of"gay Paree"
but more recently humble roomer
at the Hotel Globe, la palace" of
the red light district, was arrested
by Chief Mallory last night for So
liciting on the street. Every girl
who manages to hold her quarters
in Landlord Sandberg's palace"
must come forward with her rent
in advance every week The pal
ace" rates, moreover, are second to
none in Tacoma, and the girl who
succeeds in saving enough money
for new hat occasionally, besides
paying this weekly tribute, is con-
sidered a lucky guest.

Virginia and Indiana or their equiv
alent. He must carry both the east
and the west. If he should carry
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut
and West Virginia In the east, he
would lack IL votes, unless he car
ried some of the western states. If
he should lose all these and carry
Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin he
would lack 90 votes
The issues of both parties were
made to suit the debatable states,
and while the Republicans have the
best of it slightly, the fight Is an
open one.
In assigning the different states to
the different columns, the experience
of previous presidential years has
been the guide. Only where a state
has been overwhelmingly and per-
sistently Republican or Democratic
has it keen assigned arbitrarily to
either column.

the purchase price was $4,000.
Mr.. Mcbride and his brother. F.
T. Mcbride, bought the Thompson
block, 1868 Pacific avenue, four
years ago, and it has turned out to
be a good investment. Although
their latest holding was acquired at
a good price, it is considered prof
liable investment. Several offers
had been made for the property at
$4,000 and $4,000, but the North
western company was not disposed
to sell.

COULDN'T PASS
ON SINGLE TRACK

Two street cars came together in
a head-on collision at the junction
near South Tacoma at $40 o'clock
this morning. The front vestibules
of both cars were smashed.
The open car which leaves this city
at o'clock ran to the junction. The
crew, being unable to see the signals
on account of the heavy fog, ran
past the switch. Before coming to
a stop the 6:15 car from South Ia
come came down upon it. Just be-
fore the cars came together the mot
ormen saw the danger and shut off
the current. The cars, however, had
considerable momentum and came to-
gether with a crash. One of the mo-
tormen was slightly cut about the
face with broken glass. So far as
can be learned no one else was in
jured.

Before the campaign IS begun It IS
possible to say just how many votes
in the electoral college each party is
sure of. Some states are safely Re-
publican, others safely Democratic.
They never change. In others the
Independent voter thrives.
A study of the map shows that the
Republicans have strong holds on the
New England states. Their strength
begins in the Ohio valley, however,
and spreads westward. All of the

south and sweeps northward and to

IN ACCORD.
England and United States to Resist
Russia on Same Lines.

London, Aug. 9.-The Associated
Press learns that absolute accord ex-
lists between the United States and
Great Britain in respect to the rights
of neutral commerce, and when the
declaration of Secretary Hay was pub
lished yesterday the state department
was informed that it was in entire ac-
cord with the attitude of Great Brit
ain. In order that Russia might I'M
derstand the similarity of the British
and American views, Lord Lansdowne
directed the British ambassador at st.
Petersburg to protest against the Rus
sian definition of contraband along
the same lines as the declaration sub
mitted through Ambassador McCor-
mick. Great Britain would like the
United States to take steps to obtain
an international declaration defining
the rights of neutralS, but it is not
thought at the foreign office that Sec
rotary Hay will do so, it being under
stood there that he proposes to re-
tain complete liberty of action.
For all practical purposes accord
by the communication especially on
the part of Great Britain to the United
States OF the action of their respec-
tive governments in specific incidents.
With reference to the constitution
of a special admiralty prize court at
the Russian capital to reconsider the
case of the British steamer Knight
Commander, announced in the Asso-
Petersburg last night, the British Of
f1cials are confident that it viii re-
verse the decision of the prize court
at Vladivostok. They maintain that
the decision declaring the steamer to
be a lawful prize was not justified by
international law and that whatever
the vessel carried, Admiral Jessen had
no right to sink her. Great Britain
will not accept a settlement merely
by the payment of a monetary in
demnity but insists that a broad
principle shall be established. This
Russia cannot admit at this moment
in view of the finding of the Vladi-
vostok court. but if the new court de-
clares. as the British government an
ticipates. that international law did
not justify the sinking of a neutral
