set with the identical nuggets taken
out by the discoverer of the North
ern Eldorado, August 16, 1896.

thusiastic comment of the great
crowds present was that the manage
ment had lived up to its motto or
1.-The show that will be on time"
Not only were the buildings COM
pleted and the grounds covered with
grass and flowers, as though they
had been planted for years, but ex-
hibits were in their place.

London, June 1.-Overtures look
ing to a naval understanding be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States have been made by the Brit
ish government through Ambassador
Bryce in Washington. Premier AS
Quith had this fact in mind when
speaking recently in what was re-
garded as a cryptic manner of a
"two-power" standard for the Brit

such an understanding may be
reached with the American govern

almost to denue the Pacific of Brit

In return for giving America certain
assurances respecting the naval sit

at exposition, with the advantage
that many of these are to be perma-
nent and after the fair is closed on
Oct. 15 will be turned over to the
University of Washington, on whose
campus the fair is held. Due to the
fact that the exposition grounds be-
long to the state university 1t will
be a dry" show, no intoxicating

For the amusement street of the

novel features have been found.
What was the Midway at Chicago,
the Pike at st. Louis, the Trail at
the Portland exposition and the
Warpath at jamestown is called the
Pay Streak at Seattle.

ing on the Pacific, including Ha-
wall and the Philippines, have elab-
crate exhibits at the exposition.

Ottawa, June lit is learned
that few days previous to the pro-
rogation of the Dominion parlia-
ment, Sir Wilfred Laurier intimated
to his colleagues in the cabinet his
desire to retire from political life.
The health of both Lady Laurier and
himself is also not so robust of late
The leaders of the Liberal party so
strongly deprecated such a step on
the part of the prime minister at
this juncture and the great danger
to which the party's interest might
be exposed by 1t, that he is said to
have abandoned the idea for the
present.

shington-Despite protests by
Beveridge and Root, the duty on
barley was increased from rs cents a
bushel, as proposed by the house,
to 80 cents, as recommended by the
committee on finance.
The tax on hops was advanced.
The house made duty of IL cents,
while the committee on finance had
formerly advanced it to 10 cents.
The committee brought In an ad-
iitional amendment, making the
rate 20 cents. This action by the
senate Is largely due to the efforts
of Herman Klaber, of Portland, Or,
and E. c. Horst, of San Francisco,
who appeared before the senate COM
mittee last November on behalf of
the hopgrowers of the United States.
The duty on potatoes was made
As cents per bushel. instead of rs
cents. and oysters In the shell were
advanced from ga of cent a pound
to 25 per cent. The increase in the
rate on oysters was made ON motion
of Senator Piles, of Washington,
who has an industry in bivalves to
protect against Canadian competi-
ton. Eels or smelt, fresh or frozen.
are taxed l cent per pound.
That there should be a duty of
20 per cent on raw cotton merely
for revenue was advocated by Bacon.
Root spoke for the New York
lemon consumers, insisting that the
rate of ID cents per pound, as fixed
by the finance committee, was too
high. Flint, speaking for the lemon
growers, supported the advance and
said the lemon industry of California
would be wiped out II this duty
were not levied.
