GUS one. The defiance which this
little South American demagogue has
cast at the Upited States and his
threats to buy navy and send it
into the gulf at New Orleans and his
boast that he can bring the United
States to terms are all very amusing.

Castro has really gone to work to
get some sort Of navy and has just
bought $2.000.00O worth of guns in
France and Germany with which to
fortify his sea ports. It is also re-
ported that he intends to make tour
Of the adjoining republics, Bolivia,
Peru and Chile with the avowed pur-
pose of arousing them in opposition to
the United States. This is all a
chimerical dream on the part OF this
adventurer, but the United States
may yet be compelled to administer
to him good, sound spanking. There
is ample excuse for interference in
the treatment which Castro has given
the New York and Bermudez Asphalt
company which has been cheated out
of the concession for which it paid
well. It is not likely, however, that
the United States will send any war
ships to Venezuela to settle the claims
of private corporation. It is certain
II Castro continues in his insulting
course and any American citizen

States will step in and give Venezue-
la good trouncing.
Castro has shown some shrewd-
ness in the purchase Of his muni-
tions of war, as he has made these
purchases from countries that have
claims against Venezuela and he
doubtless counts on the buying of
bill OF military goods as a sure way
to check any disposition on the part
of these powers to press the claims of
their citizens. He has bought vessels
from England and guns from France
and Germany.

that he proposes to make a systematic
and thorough investigation to ascer-
tain what remedies can be applied to
the present system and what legisla-

The first knowledge Secretary Bona

responsibility lies for vessels getting

It is said that quiet investigation
has revealed q very unsatisfactory
condition of engines and boilers In a
number of other vessels of the navy.
The death Of the blue jacket on the
Yankee has been somewhat of blow
to naval athletics. Secretary Bona

all the details have not vet been com.

how much money is to be expended on
the new house and grounds. Baron
Speck Won Sternberg, the German
ambassador, has discussed with the
authorities In Berlin the plans Of the
embassy end decision will be reach

and It's cost. It is probable that soon
after his return construction work
will begin.
The present home OF the embassy
on Massachusetts avenue has been
found entirely Inadequate to meet the
needs Of the ambassador The dining
room is SO small that 1t will not ac-
commodate more than 20. which
proves q severe tax upon the
hospitality Of the embassy, as It
makes necessary constant series Of
small dinners. When Emperor VIII
liam's brother, Prince Henry was
here some three years ago he was en-

himself how small the quarters were.

RULING TO BE ASKED FOR ON

ing New Trial in Superior Court
Of King County.

The question of when, in appealed
cases, record of proceedings in the su-
perior court passes out of its control
and custody and becomes no longer
fore the supreme court by Prosecuting
Attorney Macintosh of King, in the
case of the state versus Edward Allen
A motion made by the prosecuting at
torney to amend the record was de-
MED, the court stating that he would
SO Ctcide for the purpose of leaving
the matter to the higher court, as
there is no authoritative ruling in this
state.
Edward Allen was sentenced at Seat
tie to ten years in the penitentiary for
highway robbery last April, after hav-
ing confessed and pleaded guilty to
various highway robberies. Allen af-
forwards claimed that he had been de-
ceived by the police, who promised him
short sentence, and convinced him
that his plea of guilty was his only
method of avoiding serious conse-
quences. An irregularity appears in
the record as certified to the supreme
court, in that there is no showing that
at the time of the arraignment the
prisoner was informed of his privilege
of having counsel appointed for him
and was asked if he desired one named.
Mr.. Macintosh and Assistant Prose-
| cutting Attorney Vanderveer presented
affidavits that the proceedings had act
ually been regular and motion that
the amendment be made in the record
so as to be certified to the higher court
in a supplemental transcript. This
motion was denied and the question
| will be presented to the supreme court
on a petition that the court below be
ordered to make the correction.

TEMPERATURE TODAY DID NOT
EXCEED "a DEGREEs-YEs-
TERDAY A SCORCHER.
Average Temperature for Pest Five
Days Was SO Degrees Says
Observer Newman.

Today practically saw an end to the
hot weather which has prevailed
throughout the Inland Empire the past
six days and to say that the relief was
gladly welcomed by Walla Wallans is
putting it mildly. Within "a hours the
temperature dropped nearly Is degrees
and the forecast issued by Observer
Newman this morning predicts still
cooler weather with probable thunder
storms tonight.
At 10 o'clock this morning the wealth
err office reported a temperature OF 81
grees but at II o'clock a cool breeze
from the west sprung up and the Of
fetal thermometer registered two de-
grees cooler. The maximum today will
probably not exceed "a degrees, vastly
different from yesterday when the
temperature rose to los degrees be-
tween and o'clock in the afternoon.
Prospects of hot Sunday drove hun
dreds of people out of the city Sat-
urday night and early yesterday morn
ing. By o'clock probably IS rigs,
bearing anywhere from two to eight
occupants each, had left the city for
points on Mill creek and the Walla
Walla river where the day was spent
in shady hooks. Nearly one hundred
people visited the power house of the
Northwestern Gas & Electric company
on the Walla Walla river during the
day. The attraction was the big grove
above the power house where the over
flow from the big reservoir up on the
mountain comes tumbling down to the
valley below.
Many of the excursioists did not re-
turn to the city until late in the eve
ming after the sun had disappeared be-
low the western horizon. People re-
manning in the city battled with the
heat the best way they could. Any
whore there was a speck of shade could
be seen men in negligee and women
dressed in the coolest fabrics, trying to
coax a breeze with fans. Altogether it
proved a very disagreeable day and
one Walla Wallans do not care to ex-
perience for some time at least.
Hottest Period in Years.
This has been the longest spell OF
hot weather in Walla Walla with one
exception in 20 years." Observer New
man said this morning, after consult
ing his temperature records The
mean temperature for the past five
DAYS has been 80 degrees, the same
mean as in August, 1898, for five days.
The highest temperature in August
was 113 on the 10th and the highest
for the last five days was Ill On the
21st. 1 believe that Walla Walla can
now expect cool weather for time.
The indications all point that way

PROPOSITION TO TAKE IN TERRI
TORY CONTIGUOUS TO SOUTH.
EASTERN BOUNDARY.
People in Two Spring Grove Additions
Desire to Be Annexed to Wslla
WaIIa City.
WaIIa City.

There is movement under way to
enlarge the limits of Walla Walla by
taking considerable additional territory
contiguous to the southeastern bound
ary line. 1t is said that many people
residing in the two Spring Grove addf-
tons and others residing on land i'm
mediately east of Watertown addition
will file petition with the city council
asking that their territory be taken in.
1t is proposed to extend the present
east boundary line south from the
WATERFOWL addition along what is
known as Second street to Pleasant
street, thence down that thoroughfare
about 800 feet to Fern avenue, out that
roadway to the county road that runs
by the M. C. Moore property, thence
west to Division street and north on
Division to the city park.
There are about 500 persons residing
in the district that it is proposed to
be added to the city. The movement,
however, is likely to meet opposition,
as it is reported that some of the peo-
pie residing in Spring Grove addition
No. l are not favorable to coming into
the city. Under the law the PROPOSE
ton will nave to be submitted to
vote of the people interested and it re-
ouires a majority vote before the terri
tory can be annexed.
Watertown is all ready to be annex
ed to the city and as soon as the names
of two streets can be changed 50 tina;
there will not be two thoroughfares
of the same designation in the corpOr-
ate limits that territory will become
portion of Walla Walla.
