BIG PLANT READY.
Electricity to BE Turned on at Eiec-
trOn Very Soon.


tron Very Soon.
Tacoma, March 30.-The immense
power plant belonging to Stone & Web
ster, at Electronn, is ready to do bust
ness Jacob Furth, of Seattle, who
with party has just made a trip to
the plant, said that within week he
would be running current to the amount
of 80, 90 horse power into Seattle from
the plant, and less amount to Tacoma
Within about ten days, according to
Mr.. Furth, the plant will be capable
of supplying 20, 900 horse power. This
will be the limit until other machinery,
already ordered in the East, is install
ed. When this is done tn plant will
have a capacity Of 40, 900 horse power.
Mr.. Webster, of the firm of Stone &
Webster, after viewing the Electron
plant, was much pleased with the
promising natural conditions that have
been taken advantage of and also the
work doone. He believes the plant
will be the greatest of its kind in the
world and looks for the unlimited pow
er which it will have at its command
as being an element that will be a
great aid to manufacturing operations
in the Sound cities in the future.

Daniel j. Says 1t Was Mr.. HawIey,
and That He Refused to Put Up.
New York, March 28.-Daniel j.
Sully, the former cotton bun leader,
has given out statement as to the
causes If suspension of his firm, which
brought out some strenuous denlals
and explanations from prominent Wall
street men.
He stated that Edwin Hawley, the
railroad magnate, and Mr.. Ray were
his partners in his last great cotton
pool, and he further declared that it
was upon Mr.. Hawley's refusal to
make 5000, 900 loan to support the
pool that caused the Sully failure.
In public statement Hawley repu-
dates all of Mr.. Sully's statements
and asserts that his relations with Mr..
Sully were only those of a borker and
customer.
Mr.. Sully will bring suit against
Mr.. Hawley to recover what is alleged
to be Mr.. Hawley's proper proportion
of the losses.

Chicago Lawyer Attempts to Enjoin

Chicago Lawyer Attempts to Enjoin
Government.
Washington, March 30.-Warren b.
Wilson, lawyer, Of Chicago, has filed
in the district supreme court a bill in
equity for an injunction against Secre-
tary Shaw, the Republic of Panama,
the new Panama Canal Company of
France and others to stop the construc-
ton of the Panama canal.
He AYERS that there is no appropria-
ton by law of any money for the pay
ment of any Of the construction ex-
penses, and declares that the act of
June 30, 1902, is in violation of the
c institution of the United States and
is null and void.
He declares that the treaty is wholly
unconstitutional and invalid, both In
the United States and in Panama, in
its essential features, and confers no
right and imposes no obligations on
either of the parties directly concerned.
Mr.. Wilson charges that even if the
act were valid its terms and conditions
have not been complied with and do
not authorize the proposed payments,
which will therefore, he alleges, vio-
late the constitution.

Prize Money Distributed.

Washington, March 30.-Justice
Gould, of the District supreme court,
has signed the decree in the long liti-
CATION over prize money for the cap
ture of Spanish vessels and stores at
Manila on May 1, 1898. The suit was
instituted by Admiral Dewey and 9TH
ers of the captors. Under the decree
the 1928, 678, the amount at which
the value of the captured vessels and
stores was fixed, will be divided after
the costs of litigation are deducted,
one-half to go to the captors and one
half to the navy pension fund. The
only step now left in the litigation is
the fixing of the amounts to be charged

HAVE DIFFERENCES.
Hartman Opposes Hills Plan of
Distribution.


New York, March 28.-The Harri-
n-Kuhn-Loeb party will demand
that the assets of the Northern Securi-
ties Company be sold at auction under
the jurisdiction of the United States
circuit court in st. Paul. This de-
mand confirms the report that relations
between the Northumberland par
ty and the Hill-Morgan property have
become strained. 1t may be said on
the very highest authority that the
Union Pacific interests have objected
most strongly to the distribution of as
sets as announced under j. j. Hills
circular of Tuesday last. The Union
Pacific people will demand return of
Northern Pacific stock in exchange for
their Northern Securities holdings, and
in the event this demand is not COM
piled with, it is altogether probable
that the whole matter will go into the
courts for adjudication.
Under the distribution the Oregon
Short Line would receive back only
$32 ,673,772 in Northern Pacific stock.
Since the control of the Northern Pa
cific is at stake, Mr.. Hartman holds
that the Union Pacific is entitled to
get back exactly what it put in.

GOVERNOR OF ALASKA.
william T. Perkins Would Succeed
Brady.

Brady.
Washington, March 3O.-William I.
Perkins, of Seattle and Nome, auditor
of the Northwestern Commercial Com
pany, and delegate to the Republican
National convention, has come out
sauarely as a candidate for governor OF
Alaska. Mr.. Perkins called on the
president, being introduced by Secre-
tary of the Treasury Shaw. He was
afterwards introduced to Secretary OF
the Interior Hitchcock by Senator
FRYE. He has some strong endorse
ments for time governorship.
The term of Gov. John 6. Brady
will expire on June 6, and the pros
pect is tnhat the campaign preliml-
nary to the appointment OF his success
or will soon be on in full blast. Mr..
Brady is, of course, candidate for re-
appointment, and many endorsements
have been filed in his behalf.
Other candidates for the place be-
sides Mr.. Perkins are John Il. Held,
of Juneau, Republican national com
mitteeman for Alaska, and James M.
Shoup, United States marshal for the
Southern district. All the candidates
would have stood aside if David ii.
Jarvis. the collector of customs for the
district, had consented to allow MS
name to be used in connection with
the governorship, but he has let 1t De

FIGHTING BEEF TRUST.

Kansas City Plant.

livestock men Get an OptlOn Oh
Kansas City Plant.
Denver, March 28.-Thne News
says: That the stockmen Of the West,
backed by the powerful National Live.
stock Association, mean to carry out
their project of establishing an indie
pendent packing plant to fight the beef
trust, is evidenced by the option that
has been taken on the packing plant of
Jacob Dold of Kansas City.
This option is now in the hands of
Vice President l.. f. Wilson and Treas
urer f. W. Flato, of the organization.
All theg papers incident thereto are
also in possession of these officers, who
are carefully making an examination
OF them with view of formal accept
ance at an early date by the organza-
ton, according to Secretary Charles f.
Martin of the association, just returned
from the East. The option carries
with it lease for ten years on the
property.
The Dold packing house has been
one OF the strongest competitors of the
trust. Its capacity is sufficient to kill
1000 chad of cattle, 1000 hogs and as
many sheep daily. According to Mr..
Martin, the capacity is great enough
70 answer the busIsness of the stock
men, who are pushing the project to
successful end.

TO COME TO SOUND
Union PACIFIC TRAINS TO RUN
TO SEATTLE.
announcement of Traffic Arrange
ments Will Probably Be Made
Within Week---Changes In
Northern Pacific Management
Make Arrangement Possible.

Portland March 28.-According to
information received at the offices of
the Southern Pacific Company in Port
laand the coming of Transportation Di-
rector Kruttsc hmitt and Traffic Direct.
or Stubbs of the Hartman system, to
this city this week will no doubt bring
the announcement of the arrangement
for operation of trains into Puget Sound
cities from Portland, whereby the Har-
riman lines will have connection with
the business originating in that terri
tory on an equal basis with the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific at Port
land. Portland will be the breaking
M point for all trains just as hereto
fore. but through cars from San Fran
cisco and also from the Missouri river
and Chicago, will be carried on the
trains made up here for the Sound
business. It is possible that through
express cars will be operated from one
of the lines, thereby saving the neces-
sity of making transfer Of express mat
ter destined for further destination.
Traffic Arrangements Promised.
Upon the occasion of his visit to the
Northwest in December E. II. Harri-
man proclaimed to the people of the
Sound cities that trains on the lines
which he controls would be operated
to these points before a great while.
This reported placing into effect of the
new operating and traffic arrangements
would be but a fulfillment of that
promise. 1t was then implied that ii
mattered little to him whether the
trains were to be operated over his own
tracks or the line of existing roads
Reports of recent changes in control OF
the Northern Pacific indicate that any
traffic arrangements desirable to Mr.
Hartman are made possible. 1t is ex.
pected that all of the changes seized.
uled to take place will become effective
about the first of the month.

TOO MANY JAPS.
kurupatkin Sends In Report of a
Cavalry Skirmish

kurupatkin Sends In Report of a
Cavalry Skirmish.
st. Petersburg, March 3O.-General
kurukatkin, in his first report to the
emperor from the scene of the war,
announced that offensive land opera
lions hadt AIKEN place against the jap
anese upon the sixth anniversary of the
occupation of Port Arthur by the Rus
sians
These operations took the form of
cavalry attack by six companies of
Cossacks, led by General Mishtchenko,
against four squadrons of Japanese
cavalry, which the general believed to
be beyond Chongju, but which he
found to be in occupation of that town.
Despite cross fire which General
Mishtchenko cleverly directed against
the enemy, he pays a tribute to the
tenacity and bravery of the Japanese,
who only ceased to fire after combat
which lasted for half an hour. Before
the Russians could follow up their ad-
vantage three Japanese squadrons gal
Hoped toward the town, which two of
them succeeded in entering, while
third was driven back in disorder, men
and horses falling.
The fire maintained on the town was
so destructive that the Japanese we're
unable to make effective return
Fire Is Destructive.
Further Japanese reinforcements ar
rived an hour later, and in view of the
superiority of the enemy Gen. Misht-
chenko determined to retire, doing so
without embarrassment, although he
carried with him three killed and six
teen wounded.
Gen. Mishtchenko's Cossacks have
been endeavoring for some days to
come in contact with the Japanese pa
trolls, but the latter refused to combat.
The skirmish of yesterday will have
the effect of encouraging the Russians
to retard as much as possible the adj
vance of the Japanese army.
Gen. Kuropatkin's dispatch, report
ing Gen. Mishtchenko's operations, as
published, does not give the place of
its origin, but it is presumed that the
commander n-chief is either at Lao
yang or en- route to Newchwang.

DISCUSS EIGHT-HOUR BILL.
Samuel GOmpers Before the House
Committee on Labor.

Samuel Gompers Before the House
Committee on Labor.
Washington, March 28.-Hearings
ON the eight-hour bill, which have
been proceeding before the house com
mittee on labor for six weeks, have
closed, both sides to the controversy
being heard and the friends of the bill
having the last word.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, was
the last speaker. Referring to the
frequent statements from the represen-
tatives of the manufacturers that they
want no special favoIs, but do "want
to be let alone" Mr.. Gompers said
this was true when they were engaged
in grinding labor, but that when they
were asking for subsidies and special
legislation they did not want to be let
alone.
He condemned the men at the head
Of the National Employer Associa-
ton and the Anti Boycott Association,
and the tactics used by the detectives
employed in Spying and Lying"
about labor. "These men want to be
let alone" he said, "but they won't
be let alone. They will not make an
archists of our unorganized working
men. We have tasted freedom through
our organizations and united efforts
and those who have tasted freedom
cannot be held in slavery again"
