Temperance seems to be making
steady gains in almost every direction
Besides the states that at present have
prohibition there are several others in
which almost every county IL free Of
saloons. Several of the state legisla.
lures have recently passed more strin-
gent liquor laws and the Oklahoma
Constitutional Convention pronounced
in favor Of prohibition. All this in
dicates steady growth Of temperance
sentiment throughout the country. It
may not declare itself altogether
along the old lines, but it bids fair to
be quite as effective in securing the
desired end.

The Portland Oregonian says:
Negotiations are on between Hill

in the northwest have practically
been settled. w. w. Cotton, general
counsel of the Oregon Railway &
Navigation company, last night ad-
mitted that representatives Of the
companies have been negotiating. but
he had not heard whether any final
conclusions had been reached. From
the progress of the negotiations. how
ever, and reports from Seattle, which
would indicate that the local end Of
the agreement at that place had been
concluded, there seems to be little
doubt that the Hartman and Hill in
terests will conclude their animosity
in the northwest.
If any agreement has been reached
it means that Hill is to have unob-
structed entrance into Portland and
an opportunity to acquire adequate
terminal facilities. that Hartman
will receive similar treatment in Sc

ably that the railroad rate war along

RAISUtI HAD TO GO
NOTED BANDIT and Followers
ROUTED FROM zINAT.
= Great Stronghold Destroyed by
@ire and Fell Into Hands Of Troops
Proved Poor Fighters-Government
Troops Pinage the Fort.

Tangier, Jan. 7-Zinat, Raisuli's
stronghold, was virtually destroyed by
fire and fell into the hands of the
troops of the sultan at noon Sunday,
after a short and elmost bloodless
fight. Raisuli and his 700 followers
succeeded in escaping to the noun
tains, despite the elaborate prepare
tons of War Minister Gabbas.
No firing took place last night, but
at 10 o'clock this morning the artillery
opened on the town. The Moorish
gunners showed utter incapacity in
handling their guns and the infantry
fired haphazard. Two shells dropped
inside for fortress without reply and
thereupon body Of the sultan's troops
charged, shouting, and reached the
walls amid desultory shots from the
surrounding brush.
The town gates we're open, but there
were no occupants of the place except
Is prisoners, among whom were four
Portuguese.
A detachment of the government
troops continued firing in the direction
of the mountains where Raisuli and
his followers were observed fleeing.
Meanwhile the other government
trops pillaged the stronghold.
No fatalities in the fighting Sunday
were reported. 1t is thought probable
that the Raisulites carried off their
dead.
The Spanish officers of the inter-
national police, created by the Alge-
eiras convention, have arrived and will
take up their duties at the end Of the
