The following i, the vote by wards:
QUESTION OF PARENTAGE.

Through The efforts of Capt. Williams,
OF Washington, the parentage Of
Emma Vance Hulse, of this city, which
aor the last few days has been somewhat
in dispute, was yesterday definitely de-
4ermined. Miss Hulse is the daughter
of Mrs. Z. V. Griffin. When the girl
was arrested, both Mrs. Grlflip, OF l2S
pouth Pitt street, Alexandra, and Mrs.
Bessie Bayue, of 429 Four-and-s half
street southwest Washington, claimed
her as daughter. Mrs. Bsyne is a dsugh-
ftr OF Mis-. Griffin. Mrs. BaYne, 1t is
said, admitted that she was not the gins
Miss Hulse was arrested in Washing
ton Monday afternoon at the request OF
Mrs. Griffin, who informed Capt. Will
lions that she WAS the girls mother, AND
had discovered that her daughter was
not emlllyed at a Washington lunch
room, as she had supposed. Mrs. Bsyne
appeared al the station and insisted that
she was really the girls mother.
Yesterday Mrs. Bayne ard Mrs. Grii'
fin accom- panied by their respective sd-
herents, met at the station and held q
council. Capt. Williams listened to both
sides, and finally demanded that proofs
be submitted. Mrs. Critic exhibited a
certificate from the physician, who was
present at the time OF the child's birth,
and her con ention was substsntisted by
her husband and relatives, who had &C
compsuied her.
Mrs. Bsyne said that she had only de-
sired to claim the girl because OF her love
for her. She admitted that she was the
sister of Emma. Miss Hulss was re-
Iessed from the House Of Detention, and
is now at the home Of her parents in this
city.

YACHT BURNS
 IN OPEN SEA
James Dunsmuir and Party Barely Escape Death from Boiler
 Explosion.
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.

" SebAe hS @AN ON@A@ SSNN"NS'
 Vancouver, B. C., May 27-James Dunsmuir's private yacht Thistle burned to the water's edge last Friday in Queen Charlotte sound and Duns- muir and party of friends barely escaped with their lives. Their escape was miraculous as the boiler ex- ploded just as they were leaving the yacht.
 The fire started in the coal bunker close to the boiler and rose so rapidly that the engineer saw it was useless to try to check the flames. The passen- gers were put off first and the engineer and crew had barely time to leave the boat before the explosion occurred. They had not even time to shut of the steam after stopping the yacht to let down the life boats.
 The life boats drifted for ten hours in the rough sea of Charlotte sound before they were picked up by pass ing vessel. Dunsmuir was a nervous wreck when he was rescued.

TACOMA HAS ALASKA BOAT
Cottage City Will Carry Freight Reg
 ularIy from That Port

Tacoma at last has a regular steam CT to Southeastern Alaska and the Tacoma News rejoices thusly;
 "Tacoma has finally secured a direct steamship service to Alaska. The Seattle papers admit that the Cottage Cityis forced to come here for freight, and concede that Tacoma will become a permanent port of call for the Alas kan steamers of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, but gloss the matter over by saying that the move is made for freight purposes solely and not for passengers. Seattle is averse to losing a single returning Alaskan who may come down from the north with a well-lined poke.
