TOURIST HORDES IN LONDON.
Quarter of Million Americans In the
British Capital Last Summer.

LONDON, Oct. 26.-Now that the
tourist season is at an end, it is in
teresting to learn from such an au-
thority as Cooks tourist agency that
more holiday-making foreigners, in
Guiding Americans, have been visiting
London this season than ever before.
Indeed for the last few years they
have been focking here in ever-in-
creasing numbers and it is not over
stating the matter to say that the
foreign travel to London has in
creased so per cent within the last
ten years. The number of Americans
who come to London now are more
than twice the number that came ten
years ago.
To the entente cordiale Cooks attri-
butes the extraordinary number of
French visitors during the past sum-
mer, but the same cannot have con-
man holiday makers seen over here
this summer.
That London is becoming more at
tractive to the foreign tourist, said
Cooks manager is very apparent, if
only from the fact that so many pa
latial hotels have sprung up in re-
cent years and at the present moment
there are three large additional cara
vansaries being built, with about
score of smaller ones, all because of
this great increase of foreign travel to
London.
Then, never have the transatlantic
steamship companies seen sucn a busy
year as this. More than quarter of
a million Americans came over. Asked
what he thought about the increased
facilities for direct communication be-
tween America and the continent of
Europe, Cooks manager said that sta
tistics told their old tale. Twenty
years ago the American made direct
for Paris, like homing pigeons. They
hardly thought of London, but that is
all changed nowadays. Never had the
Americans booked direct to London in
such numbers as they had done this

Anthrax Peril.

LONDON, Oct. ga new warning
note to women who go automobiling
has been sounded at Bradford on the
body of woman who died from an
thrax, caused by wearing artificial hair
made from a Chinese pigtail. 1t came
out in the evidence that Chinese pig
tails were largely imported for the
purpose of making, amongst other
things, fringe nets for automobiling.
The coroner remarked that as the case
in question showed how serious was
the danger from the wearing of these
fringe nets, all this hair ought to be
examined and that.
in fact, this would be done now at the
factory where the fatal case Of an
thrax had been caused. An application
was made at the home office for an
order requiring special precautions to
be taken at all factories where arti-
fetal hair was made up.

THANKSGIVING DAY.
Canadians Are Observing the Big Day
of the Wominion.

OTTAWA, Ont, Oct. 26.-In &C
cordance with the proclamation issued
by the government, Thanksgiving Day
is generally observed throughout Can
ada today. AS a rule the change OF
the day from the middle of November
to the middle of October has given
satisfaction, as the weather is milder
and more pleasant for outdoor enjoy
ment Not so we'll satisfied are the
Canadians with the choice of Thurs
day as Thanksgiving day. 1t is argued
that, inasmuch as the selection of the
day is entirely arbitrary it would have
been much better and more convenient
had a Monday been selected for the
purpose. That would have made it
possible to hold family reunions, ex-
tending over two or even three days.

STATE SEEKS TO RECOVER FOR
DELINQUENT TAXES WHICH
ARE DUE.
Owes the State Over Seven Thousand
Dollars On Tax Roll of
Seventh Year.

The state will sue Whatcom coun-
ty for about $7,700 taxes due the state.
This has been decided by the attor-
ney general, state auditor and state
treasurer. The money has been due
to the state more than seven years,
the delinquency having been caused
in the first place by the shortage of
a former Whatcom county treasurer.
Clallam county was similarly behind
with the state. The state board of
equalization suggested some weeks ago
that both Clallam and Whatcom coun-
ties, in connection with the special levy
to meet state taxes for 1898, should
levy enough to clean up these old de-
linquencies. Clallam has agreed.
Wnatcom county refused to make such
a levy.
The Whatcom county auditor writes
to the state authorities that the coun-
ty attorney advised the board not to
county took over property from the
former treasurer which, when sold,
is expected to pay all delinquencies.
The state decided that it is not bound
to wait any more years until WHAT
com county gets ready to sell that
property, so suit will be brought.
During the discussion is was stated
that Whatcom county occupies an
unique position with relation to the
state. Her representatives in the
legislature induced the passage of the
state highway law carrying appropria-
tons for a state road in that and
adjoining counties, and yet the state
mad to bring suit to compel the What
com commissioners to make orders for
the surveys. The suit is now under
advisement by Judge Neterer and a
decision is soon expected.
The Whatcom county treasurer is
alone in that he refuses to make
remittances to the state
treasurer, making his returns only
quarterly. All other treasurers remit
1t may be generally stated
that the relations between Whatcom
and the state authorities are at
least strained.

A SUICIDE WAGER.
Tragic Bet In Brooklyn Results In
Grief In Two Home Circles.
least strained.

NEW YORK Oct. 26.-There is I'M
der investigation by the Brooklyn po-
lice the remarkable story of a suicide
wager between two men whose bodies
were found in the lower bay within a
days of each other. The men are
Henry Schwanedel, SO years old,
wealthy retired merchant, and Adam
Hillman, SO, an engineer. They had
been intimate friends for number
of years. The engineer lived with his
wife and one child and during all
his married life was a model father
and husband. He was of a quiet dis
position. Schwanedel, VINO owned real
estate in Brooklyn valued at 100000,
lived alone with his sister, Regime
Schwanedel, and had no intimate
friend except Hillman. Hillman left
his home, Oct II at the usual hour.
He kissed his wife and little girl and
started down the road whistling. He
never was seen again alive and his
body was recovered from the bay yes
terday. At the time of his disappear
ance Hillman nad a geld watch and
chain, a locket containing pictures of
his wife and daughter, and $40. The
money and jewelry were in his cloth
ing, when his body was found.
Schwanede1 disappeared Oct. 9, and it
was On that day that the strange bet
is said to have been made. After he
left his home ne called as usual on
Hillman and the pair had lunch to-
gether. Acquaintance of the two
men who sat at a nearby table in
formed the police that they overheard
the older man offer to wager $500 that
he would be first of the two to commit
suicide. Hillman is said to nave con-
sented to the bet.

way Of Cispus Pass, and bringing the
Tacoma Eastern out of what seems at
first glance to be. pot from which
it cannot be released, but which in
reality is position from which the
Hartman system can meet the Paci-
fic railway from Wallula with ease.
Plans Easily Carried Out.
How simply these plans have been
carried out so far is startling to the
railroad world, for all the time the
changes in the situation have been
credited to the C. M. & ST. p, and even
local officers of the Hartman system
declared themselves convinced that
the eastern line was the cause of the
excitement. BY the route mapped out
from the junction the Hartman line
will have no greater haul to the north
than will the Northern Pacific when
the north bank road is in operation
and it will have a much shorter route
than the present one used by the Hill
system and with the heavy grades
eliminated.
The battle against the Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern on the north
bank will be continued, and every en-
deavor will be made to delay the COM
ing of the interests regarded by Har-
riman as interlopers. Inducements in
the way of trackage privileges have
been held out to the G. P. R., SO with
the finishing of the laying of steel on
the Spokane & International into Spo-
kane the c. P. r. will have access to
Portland-the present and future rail-
road center of the Pacific coast. There
fore, without any help from Mr.. Hill,
Mr.. Hartman has started on the
path which will lead to the realization
of his long cherished hopes of getting
into the Sound country, and his posi-
ton is such that he continues to re-
tain a fighting chance on the north
side of the Columbia and a strategic
position in the Wallula gap.

BEHIND THE PACIFIC RAILWAY
COMPANY IN OPPOSITION
TO HILL.
Will Make Determined Fight to Con-
struct Line Down River and to
the Sound.

Hartman is the man behind the
Pacific Railway company. Hartman
has purchased the Interurban Railway
company operating electric cars be-
tween Seattle and Tacoma. Hartman
is the owner of the Tacoma Eastern,
and has had that property for months
past, and the rapid strides which have
been made with it's extensions into the
Big Bottom of the Cowlitz river mean
that it will connect with the Pacific
railway, which is to head northwest
from Wallula Junction, is the way the
Portland Telegram puts it.
Il will be running trains into Port
land in 1907 is the slogan of James
]. Hill. which was adopted with the
first step taken in the march of prog
ress. by the north bank road.
Il will be in Portland first" declares
Edward H Hartman, unofficially, and
nis representatives who have been
active in securing tideland property for
terminals on the Sound reiterate the
intelligence waited westward from
Wall street.
Thus are two mighty railroad mag
mates battling for supremacy in a
game which will end in favor of the
entire northwest country, and will di-
vide the business between the roads.
1t has been said officially and then I'M
officially that the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul was behind the move.

Then again, it has been denied Off
cially and unofficially, that those inter-
ests were concerned and all the time
the Hartman family sat about the
board upon which was spread the
railroad map of the northwest and
checkmated Mr.. Hill in his move to
crown the entrance to the valley by
way of Wallula gap.
In retaliation for the friendly
speeches Mr.. Hill made to POrtlanderS
and the resients of the Inland Empire;
for the promises he held out that his
ships would swing through the chan
mel of the Columbia when a depth OF
80 feet was had, and for the zeal ex-
hibited on his part in turning away
from the Sound to join hands with this
city Mr.. Hartman has entered the
arena and besides harassing his oppo-
nent On the north bank has banded
a sturdy party of trusted followers I'M
der the guise of the Pacific Railway
company and without serious resist
ance is marshalling his forces along
a route that will proceed north and
west through North Yakima to the
