SEATTLE. May 23.-Seattle sitting
on her seven hills on the shore of
Puget sound, capitulated today to the
fleet of battleships under command of
Rear Admiral Charles s. Sperry. The
gates of the city were thrown open
wide and Admiral Sperry was given the
key, made of Alaskan gold. AS the
fleet came into sight around Point No
Point it was caught sight of by half a
million people assembled on the
heights, terraces and high buildings
overlooking Elliott bay, Ballard beach,
Fort Lawton, Queen Anne hill, Kinnear
park, Capitol and Renton hills and the
shores of the bay were black with
patriotic throngs.
The city's normal population of one
quarter of a million was augmented by
an equal number who came from as
far distant as Montana, Idaho and Ore
gon and from across the Canadian
border to witness the unusual naval
spectacle.
At o'clock this morning the differ
ent divisions Of the fleet, which was
divided two days ago, reunited at Port
Townsend. The Missouri came UP from
the navy yard at Bremerton and from
Bellingham came tho flagship Con-
necticut. the Kansas, Minnesota, Ver-
mont, Georgia, New Jersey and Rhode
Island. From Port Angeles came the
Louisiana, Virginia and Ohio. Out of
the harbor of Port Townsend steamed
the Illinois and the Kearsarge. Form
ing in single line. the reassembled fleet
began the advance on Seattle. AS the
flagship arrived off West point 1t was
met by fiotilla of excursion boats,
which turned and followed in it's wake
as IT rounded the forested points Of
jutting land, under the lee of the
snow capped Olympic range along the
channel into which in the days prime
val the wooden paddle of the Indians
war canoe was dipped.
Nearing the city the steamer Umatil-
la, carrying the reception committee.
came abreast Of the Connecticut. turn
ed and escorted her to the anchorage
ground, while the hundreds of boats in
the welcoming fotilla formed into
double line and escorted the remainder
of the fleet into the harbor. Anchors
were dropped amid the firing of salutes,
blowing Of sirens and cheers from thou
sands of throats.
The reception committee, headed by
mayor John F. Miller. boarded the Con-
necticut and oficially assured Rear Ad-
miral Sperry that he, his officers and
men were welcome to our city"
In the name of the city Mayor Miller
presented Rear Admiral Sperry with a
golden key fashioned from Alaskan
gold The battleships began to receive
visitors and the harbor was soon,
thronged with excursion launches.
Tonight every ship is outlined from
masthead to waterline in electric lights
and the japanese residents are dis
charging novel fireworks.
The only official ceremony tonight
was a reception to the officers of the
fleet at the New Washington hotel,
which was brilliantly decorated for the
occasion
The fleet will remain in the harbor
until the morning of May 27.

who was hero in the truest sense Of
the word. DR.. VIM. H. Marsh was
treating sick dog belonging to bis
daughter, when the animal licked his
hand. Ten days later DR.. Marsh
went to the Pasteur Institute with a
case of hydrophobia in advanced
stages. The Pasteur experts at once
informed him that he could not recov-
er. "You will die before Thursday at
noon," he was told. That was on
Saturday. With his sentence of death
ringing in his ears, DR.. Marsh wen
to his home, made his will. wound up
his affairs and calmly awaited his
death in its most hideous form. As
the end approached, he asked his ply.
stefan to give him an opiate, 80 that
his family might not hear the terrible
cries that a victim of hydrophobia
utters in his death agony. DR.. Marsh
died Wednesday evening.

STATE SENATOR WILLIAM CAMP.
BELL has had prepared statement O
the events connected with the sena'
torial convention held at Martinsburg
last week, which he will present tc
the State Committee with a request
that that body take cognizance
of the situation. We hope that
the State Committee will make thor
ough investigation of the state OF at
fairs here, not only in the interest oil
common fairness and honesty, but al
SO for the good OF the party.
As it is, no nan of intelligence need
consider himself bound to support the
nominee of conventions such as were
held in Martinsburg last Friday. One
was Aagrantly dishonest, the other
irregular. For the voters to uphold
such improper methods as were used
by the senatorial committee is to put
a premium on rascality. 1t is pre-
posterous to expect men Of fairness to
endorse the professional politicians
and corrupt representatives of certain
interests who manipulated the party
machinery to accomplish their purpos'
es by HOOK or crook. Few persons
will permit themselves to be ridden
over roughshod in such style without
resenting it. Party loyalty cannot
be expected to stand such strain.
A new convention should be held,
composed Of delegates properly and
regularly elected by the people. 1t
should show fairness toward every
candidate, instead of being deliber.
ately constituted into bowling mob
for the benefit of some one who could
not succeed by proper methods. 1t
is no secret that hundreds Of voters
will refuse to support the nominee Of
either convention, and we can find no
fault with this exercise Of self-respect.
Let us have a regular candidate that
the people can conscientiously vote
for,
