=. BURROWS SAYS WALLA
wALlA is READY FOR
STREET CARS.
Farmer Citizen Expresses His Views
on the Pressing Needs Of the
Garden City.

Il see an excellent opportunity for
street car company in Walla WalIa,
and if I had the capital and was
vonnger man, would surely make an
effort to get in on the ground floor"
said c. E. Burrows, for years general
manager of the Walla Walla Gas &
Electric Light Company. Mr.. Bur-
rows arrived in Walla Walla yester-
aav from Seattle on a short pleasure
trip.
NV visit to Walla Walla has no
new business significance Mr.. Bur
rows said this morning. Il just
simply took a run across the state to
visit old acquaintances and look after
a few business interests"
Speaking of the needs of street car
facilities in Walla Walla Mr.. Burrows
stated that he knew of no town in the
northwest that offered such an OPP
portunity for capital. From the rate
the city is growing at present it will
be only a question of time until east
ern capital will be attracted by the
opportunity and then Walla Walla
will have a car system. The new
power plant of the Northwestern Gas
& Electric Company, 1 am told, will
furnish plenty of power for a system
and the population is ample for as
surfing a fair return on the invest
ment'
Mr., Burrows stated that he was
much pleased at the paving improve
ments and predicted that it meant
thousands of dollars in the pockets Of
property owners and the addition of
thousands to the city's population.

asked Sheriff Watson, who was sing
ing. He replied 1t was Munsey.
THE next day I saw Munsey at the
pump getting a pail of water. I wrote
my name on a piece of paper and
dropped it in his CELL which he &C
knowledged witha slight bow. After
that we exchanged greetings frequent
ly until 1 left for Bellingham. Nun
sey was in Jail for stealing.
AFTER his term expired, he lived at
Pocatello, Idaho, and on November 80,
came to this city to see me. He told
me he was the foreman of a stone
quarry in Seattle and was getting
1925 a month. He also said his uncle
had died in Oklahoma. leaving him all
his estate, consisting of 125 acres of
land, $50 head of cattle and $500 in
the bank. 1t was our intention to go
there to live after our marriage.
Il have had implicit faith in Mr..
Munsey until now, but now I know
that he has lied to me before this
thing happened.
when 1 marry a man it is not for
his money but his love and his honor.
don't see how Mr.. Munsey can ex-
pect me to have any respect for him

Congressman elect E. H. Hubbard
addressed the Grant club, republican,
of this city last night, expounding Jas.
G. Blaine's theory of reciprocity. He
insisted that the thought still lives

of the. protective system. He dis
missed Canadian reciprocity as pure
ly academic more so now than in the
time of Blaine. He declared that SEN
timent is strong today for tariff re-
vision.

London Opinion on the Incident.

Seattle, July 23.-To accept no more
risks on ships or goods de stined for
Japan is the order received by local
marine insurance agents yesterday.
The orders came from the head offices
of the companies in London. I he pro-
vision is included that risks are to be
accepted only after being submitted to
and approved by the head office, but
local agents regard this as an effectual
suspension of marine insurance on yes.
sells and cargo destined for ports in the
belligerent Oriental country. In dis
cussing the matter a member of To-
cal firm explained that it indicated to
his mind that in England the seizure
of the steamship Malacca by the Rus
SLAMS on the pretext that she contained
goods contraband of war was consid-
cred to be of unusually serious aspect.
1.-The fact of the matter is, he con-
tinued, that our company considers
the state of affairs too serious and dan
gerous to even assume risks at any
price. A verbatim reading of the ca
Diagrams requested that we take no
more risks without the policies we've
confirmed from our London office.
This, of course, practically means that
no more risks are to be asusmed until
the steamship seizure affair is settled. y

ton raspberries have been shipped and

it is estimated that the growers re-

approximately 5000 per car, leaving a

FOUGHT AT MO TIEN PASS.
Russians Estimate Their Loss at
Thousand.

Russians Estimate Their Loss at
Thousand.
St. Petersburg, July 90 The Rus
sian and japanese forces which were
lined up expecting clash grappled i'll
the serious fight Sunday morning, ac-
cording to report from Gen. kuro-
patkin received here late Monday
night. The report indicated that the
Japanese misinterpreted the movement
and that, instead of it being an at
tempt to take Mo Tien pass, it was
reconnaissance on large scale.
Gen. Count Keller's reports of the
fighting does not state especially the
number of men engaged, though 1t
shows that the Russian main advance
consisted of eighteen battalions, with
a considerable reserve, three battalions
of the latter being called up during
the course of the battle, while still
others were not utilized.
An important fact developed by the
reconnaissance was the exact location
of powerful japanese force secreted
in the region between Fen Shut and
Mo Tien passes. Its strength is indi.
Gated by the fact that twenty one bat
talions were insufficient to permanent
~ force the Japanese positions, though
some of them were occupied Temporal
rily. On the other hand it would ap-
pear that the Japanese were either dis
inclined or unable to follow Gen. Kel-
Ter when he retired to his former posi-
ton. The seriousness of the days fight
ing is shown in Gen. Keller's estimate
that the Russian casualties were over
a thousand.
The battle leaves the general situa-
ton unchanged, but shows that pow
erful Japanese army is massed and is
constantly threatening Lao Yang, ap-
parenttly only awaiting Gen. Kureki g
signal to advance.

PREFERENTIAL TARIFFS.
Joseph Chamberlain's Tariff Com
mission Makes Report.

Joseph Chamberlain's Tariff Com
mission Makes Report.
London, July 2l.-The report of 10.
seph Chamberlain tariff commission
on the iron and steel trades arrives at
the conclusion that the decline in the
British iron and steel industry is due
to the fact that the manufacturers of
America and Germany have secured
control of the home markets by means
of high tariffs and an organized system
regulating their export trade, and that
they are in position to dump their
surplus products Oh the British and
other markets irrespective of cost, and
that the dumping could not be carried
on except for the British system of free
imports. The committee expressed the
opinion that the situation can only be
remedied by system of tariffs arrang-
ed as follows:
A general tariff consisting of low
scale of duties for foreign countries
admitting British wares on fair terms.
A preferential tariff, lower than the
general tariff, for the colonies, giving
adequate preference to British mnu-
facturers and framed to secure freer
trade within the British empire.
A maximum tariff consisting of COM
paratively higher duties, but subject
to reduction by negotiation to the level
of the general tariff.
The report, which is signed by fifty
eight commissioners, is very bulky and
1o rs QS.it oh 70
turers, the evidence given before the
United States industrial commission
on iron and steel industries, the organ
ization and working of German cartels,
and vast amount of statistics, etc.
