MARINE GLINIPSES.
Tides for Thursday.

Five carloads of cable for the
Sitka-Puget Sound line is being I'M
loaded at the Government ware
house. The consignment consists
of 105 miles Of cable, each car con-
tanning 81 miles. What the expense
attached to the laying of a cable
such as this one will be when COM
pleted is not generally realized by
those not actively engaged in the
work. Yesterday 20 men worked dill
igently, but Notwithstanding, only
l6 miles of the cable was unloaded
fro mthe first car. This brings the
expense of unloading up to a little
more than 1925 a mile. AS $50
miles of cable is to be unloaded from
the cars and then reloaded on the
cableship Burnside, the expense of
handling the cable before it leaves
Tacoma will be considerable.

NEW HORSE TIES
WORLDS RECORD

SEATTLE, June 22.-Four thou
sand persons were treated to a
worlds record performance at The
Meadows yesterday when Rio shan
non went the distance In 2:I6 fat
over the regular course of one mile
and a quarter, clearing FIVE hurdles
and finishing on the bit, with Otis
up. The brown horses performance
yesterday equals that of Burt Coch-
ran, who covered the distance at
Brighton Beach, in November, 1882,
in the same time, with 1877 pounds
up. Rio carried 1870 pounds in yes
terday's race and tied the world S
record, which had stood unequaled
for 20 years.
The winner is owned by Mrs. ].
Coffey, and was trained by the lat
ter's husband He was sired by Rey
Del Sierras, dam Bessie Shannon,
and was foaled in 1900. His per-
formance is considered all the more
remarkable because of the fact that
the horse never before started in n
hurdle race and was in company
with such noted jumpers as Milas,
Romeo and Jim Bozeman.

Oregon Makes Fast Trip.

The hearts of many people on the
waterfront were made glad today by
the tidings that the steamship Ore
gon, of the White Star line, had
reached Seattle with Alaska mail.
The Oregon is the first of the Nome
fleet to return to Puget Sound. She
sailed from Seattle on June /, MAX
ing a continuous voyage to the gold
fields. The unloading of the cargo
and the return trip were consummat-
ed without interruption.
According to information received
here, the Oregon reached the Sound
three days earlier than the Ohio sue
ceeded nmaking it last year. The
Ohio came to anchor on the 25th
of June last season and she was
thought to have made a remarkable
trip.
The oregon brought out quite a
large number of passengers who had
spent the winter in Alaska, and is
said to have large amount of gold
Hundreds of pounds of letters and
mail matter was also on board.

the most important measure consid-
cred by the fire, water and light COM
mittee.
After lengthy discussion of the
need for better fire protection, the
committee voted in favor of recon-
mending that a six-inch water main
be laid along the waterfront and that
dozen flre hydrants be constructed
at points near the mills.
The city engineer estimates that
the cost of this Improvement will
exceed $4,000, and the mill owners
at Old Town will guarantee to pay
the interest ON the Investment. A
number of the mill owners met with
the committee and agreed to obtain
from the Northern Pacific a right of
way for the construction of the
main.
The claims committee met and
refused to pay the claim of M. Bur-
dinick for $3.50. He asserts that
his son fell into fire which was
started by the city employees, and
that the child should be paid for the
injuries he received.
The police and license committee
had up for consideration an ordin-
ance granting lunch wagons the priv
ilege of standing on Pacific avenue
and Commerce street. A remon-
STRANGE with "a signers accompanied
this ordinance and the committee
voted to turn the ordinance down.
The streets and alleys committee
will have the usual number of petit
lions for street improvements, etc.

ALL OPPOSITION TO FAIRBANKS

and whenever wrongdoing has been

tration did not hesitate to prove the
evil and bring the offenders to jus
tice. In this record of achievement
during the past eight years may be
read the pledges the party fulfilled
We promise to continue these policies
and declare our adherence to the
following principles:
Protection, which guards and de-
velops our industries, is q cardinal
policy of the Republican party. The
measure of protection should always
at least equal the difference in the
cost of production at home and
aboard. We insist on the malnten-
ance of the principle of protection,
and therefore rates of duty should be
readjusted only when conditions are
so changed that public interest de-
mands their alteration. But this
work cannot safely be committed to
any other hands than the Republican
party.
"Our foreign policy under the ad-
ministration of President Roosevelt
has not only been able, vigorous and
dignifed, but in the highest regree
successful. Under his guidance we
find ourselves at peace with all the
world, and we never were more re-
spected by foreign nations. His ad-

DELAY ACTION
ON FRANCHISE

Action on the new telephone fran
chise and the T. r. &c. p. company
power franchise will probably be
deferred until next week. A mem
Der of the franchise committee stat
ed to that a meeting was to have
been held tomorrow, but as some of
the members will be out of town on
that day the matter has been post
poned.
None of the members have eX-
pressed themselves on the power
franchise. Some of them have talked
freely in regard to the telephone
franchise, however, and there is a
strong probability that it will receive
favorable consideration at the hands
of the committee. Chairman Lam
born has not committed himself, but
says that if he does vote for the
franchise it will be only because of
the money that the new telephone
company would invest here.

DEMOCRATS FAVOR
TWO Conventions

The call has been issued by Chair
man Ellis for a meeting of the demU
cratic county committee to be held az
10 o'clock, July 4. At that time the
Pierce county democrats will decide
whether or not to call two county con.
ventions, and will also name the dates
for the holding Of the same.
The plan TO hold two conventions.
one for selecting delegates to the state
convention. and the other for nominal.
ing county officers, is quite generally
favored. as II will tend to keep state
and county political affairs distinctly
separated. This scheme is strongly
supported by the probable candidates
for county positions, who wish to elim-
mate all bartering of county Offices
for concessions from certain cliques
that are out for political plums at the
hands OF the state convention.

MEETING ..OlD EPHRAIM."

In an article entitled. after Big
Game in Wyoming" writer in the
Pail Mall Magazine tells Of an exciting
meeting between himself and large
grizzly bear. The interview was some
what unexpected on both sides, and
1t lasted only a minute or two; but
while it did last it occupied the undi-
vided attention Of all the participants
CHANGED to be riding ahead. says
the author. There's bearw whis-
pered Jack. as a big gray head ap-
peared over the fallen tree. What fol-
lowed in the next few minutes takes
longer to tell than 1t did to happen.
AS sprang down from the saddle to
shoot, an enormous grizzly of the
largest kind jumped up on the trunk
of the tree, behind which he had been
feeding on dead elk.
As I pulled the first trigger he
sprang down, all claws, hair and teeth,
and charged straight at us. The shot
was a clean miss-over his back as he
jumped down; and here was grizzly
not thirty yards away, on a down
hill run, and obviously intent on get
ting first blood.
The second bullet went home, right
in the center Of the broad, furry
breast, as we afterward ascertained.
He turned a complete somersault, and
lighting on his feet again, came on, ap-
parently uninjured.
My rifle was now empty, and there
was no time to reload. The next few
seconds were kind of nightmare. I
turned and jumped at the saddle, but
my horse, seeing the bear close behind
me, swerved and bolted before I could
mount Grizzly, now only few yards
away, was rising to strike with a gi-
gantic, clawy, sinewy paw that could.
with single blow, break buffalo's s
back or tear out all his ribs
With a cold thrill down my back I
also swerved and bolted up the hill
for all was ever worth in what Jack
afterward described as ten-foot
strides. He, meanwhile, with unload
ed rife thrown ON the ground. sat on
his horse fifty yards away, and emp
tied his six-shooter at the bear with
out apparent effect.
I glanced nervously over my shoul-
der as I ran, and then saw that the
fight was done. Grizzly, obviously NOR
tally wounded, having missed his blow,
was blundering on down-hill, not
knowing where he went. Even an old
king Of the divide, weighing thou
sand pounds or SO in sinewy, muscular
flesh and bone, could not long with
stand the effects of q half-inch ex-
panding bullet, propelled by five drams
Of black powder through a good rife
barrel.
