RAILWAYS WIN
CASES IN COURT

OLYMPIA, Oct. 19.-Out Of the
100 or more orders entered by the
railroad commission against the
Northern Pacific railroad as a re-
suit of the commissions trip over
the state last spring, the Northern
Pacific took six of the lot into
court, and Judge John r. Mitchell
of Thurston county has ordered
five Of them vacated. One had
already been complied with by the
railroad.
The court held that at Lebam
the commissioner might order
station improvements, but that it
should not prescribe the style of
architecture, and at Kent and
Garfield, it was held, it was not
shown that better station facili-
tiles were needed.

HELD UP, He
BEATS THUGS
IN f00TRACE

Mere 3S-caliber six-shooters
can send no chills through the
anatomy of Roy Sodderholm of
Fern Hill, as evidenced by his ad-
venture Sunday morning on the
railroad bridge at Puyallup, when
he was held up by a couple of
thugs. Instead of obeying their
mandates to raise his hand, he
broke out into spirited run,
with the hold-ups close behind
him. But Roy had been limbering
up the night before at the Fire
mems dance at Puyallup, and he
left his pursuers blocks behind.
But nary shot did they fire to
stop him, and Sodderholm got
home with his valuables remaining
intact.

WHAT ABOUT THAT
SOUTH TACOMA
ORDINANCE

Editor Tacoma Times: In yes
terday's issue of the Times there
appeared a statement from the
city attorneys office, telling the
people of those suburban towns
who are clamoring to be annexed
to the city, to come in and the
city attorneys office would see
that they got the scent fare, for
they would take II into court and
bring the street car company to
time.
Now, it will be well for those
people to consider this hot-air
blast from the attorneys office
and take it for what it is worth.
Some time ago this same office
and the mayor of the city prom
ised some of the citizens of
South Tacoma that IL the city
council would pass an ordinance
the car service on the
South Tacoma line to 10 minutes
the day, and five min
utes during the rush hours, that
they would see that this same
company would give us the ser
vice the ordinance called for.
Now, this ordinance was pass
ed by the city council two weeks
ago, but still the car service re-
mains the same as 1t was before
the ordinance was passed, and we
are herded into the cars like a
lot of cattle, while the North End
and Sixth avenue people have
three to five-minute service dur
ing the rush hours, and not one
step has the city attorneys office
or the mayor taken to compel this
company to give us better service.

STREET CAR MEN
GIVEN BANQUET

Following a banquet at the Ia

prominent electric railway men
who spent the day looking over
the city's attractions left last
night in their special train for
Portland.
The banquet was presided over
by R. T. Latin, district manager
of the Stone-Webster interests.
Speeches were made by Mr.. Laf-
fin, w. s. Dimmock, Charles
Pierce and others.
The visitors were delighted
with the city, and the illumination
of the streets was especially pleas

service. These poverty-stricken
young men were feed for the
death rolls in the campaign
against the Moors in Africa. Row
after row of bodies has been laid
out at the camp of Gen. Marina,
all the victims being sons of the
poor.
Thus has Spain been rushed to
the day of her rulers doom. The
people here are tired of being the
bottom rung of a so-called ladder
of monarchy. Next above them
are the beggars, who live off
them; then come the proud old
families who have no money but
high social position. Then the
army, the nobility, and at the top
the royal family. All are leeches
on the labor of the working people.
The common people are disgust
ed with the continued military
influence of the fat commanders
of the poor and starving soldiers,
who are in turn backed up by
wealth and power.

was France during the days of the

In 1873 there was a revolution
in Spain that followed the action
of the Italian King Amadeo, who
quit his throne.
But 1t was comparatively peace
full. In contrast to this was the
rioting in this city's streets re-
Gently. Then soldiers fired volley
after volley into crowds of women
and children.
Companies of citizens set fire to
churches and nunneries, tore down
big buildings, and were deaf to
cries of suffering. Even Red Cross
aids were turned back within ear
shot of the cries of people who
were being slowly burned to
death.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 10
The city by the Golden Gate came
into her own again today, when a
million banners and more than
half a million rejoicing people
greeted the arrival of the new Don
GaspAr de Portola, upon his dis
covery" of the new San Francisco.
When the modern impersonator
of the old Spaniard who discover
ed the peninsula stepped ashore at
the Mission street wharf this
morning his arrival was the signal
for the beginning of five days of
carnival and merriment.
His arrival was proclaimed with
the booming of cannon. the
shrieking and roaring of steam
whistles and the lusty, triumph
ant shouting of the sons of the
new city.
The parade was tn, ; Nos

go Free State was created amid
general rejoicings. The veteran
Bismarck, as credulous as the 9TH
ers, pronounced its baptismal
blessing.
A governor general was elected.
Under him were Is district COM
missionaries, who should govern
so many districts, into which the
whole country was divided.
Then, in 1887 an act was passed
which declared that all lands that
were not occupied by natives were
to be the property of the state.
No land in such a country is
actually occupied by the natives
save the actual site of the viii
lagos and the scanty fields Of grain
or manioc which surround them.
Everywhere beyond these tiny
patches extend the plains and for

ivory and the skins, which are the
sole object of their commerce.
At single stroke of a pen in
Brussels everything was taken
from them, not only the country,
but the produce of the country.
How could they trade when the
state had taken from them every
thing which they had to offer?
Having obtained possession of
the land and its products, the next
step was to obtain labor by which
these products could be safely gar

terms of seven years service to
their masters in manner which
was in truth indistinguishable
from slavery. AS the negotiations
were usually carried on with the
capita or headman, the unfortun-
ate servant was transferred with
small profit to himself and little
knowledge of the conditions of his
servitude.
Under the same system the
state also enlisted its employees,
Including the recruits for its small
army. This army was supplement

King Leopold's wonderful sys-
tenn was perfected by employing
1000 agents, who worked under
the commissaries. They were
white men, and they had orders
to secure a certain amount of rub
Der from their districts. These
agents employed capitas, who
were barbarians. These capitas
were armed with guns, invariably,
and were masters of the native
district in which they resided. If
the natives did not supply enough
rubber, the capita was given a

barbarian squatted in the midst

now stationed in the department of
the gulf, in readiness to be sent TO
Cuba in the event of an emergency re
quiring a third Intervention there by

according to General Fridge, expects

ton of battalion of regulars with the
Mississippi state troops at their an
nual encampment at Jackson, Miss, in
July, he declared.
General Fridge said he found the
war department quite willing to ac-
cede to his request. He suggested
that the battalion come from Fort Nc
Pherson. Ga. where the entire Seven
teenth infantry is now stationed, in rs
much as these troops are the nearest
to Jackson. They could be sent with
the least expense.
The department officials replied
it would be impossible to send any of
the Seventeenth infantry now, in re-
sponse to General Fridge's sugges-
tions. AS to whether troops from the
department of the gulf will be sent It
appears none Of them are to be moved
from there for at least ninety days.

WASHINGTON, June 4.-The SEN
ate was not in an amiciable state
of mind today as a consequence there
were several clashes of temper The
day was begun with a speech by Sena-
tor Stone of Missouri, in which he
asserted that the German officials had
taken exception to the remarks recent
ly made by Senator Aldrich relative
to the wage statement supplied by the
German government at the request of
the American Secretary of State. Mr..
Aldrich has characterized as "imper-
tinent' the effort which he claimed
had been made in that statement to
influence American tariff legislation
and Mr.. Stone undertook to show that
the epithet had been applied to the
German government. Mr.. Aldrich re-
sented this implication, but he repeat
edly said that the German manufact-
urers had undertaken to influence the
course of the tariff bill and he charg-
ed that in doing so they had been
guilty of impertinence.
During the course of his remarks
Mr.. Aldrich intimated that Mr.. Stone
was acting as a representative of
Germany, and this remark aroused the
anger of the Missourian. Declaring
his right to speak his mind as an
American Senator, he said that the
use of the expression was a gross
impertinence." The colloquy consum-
ed almost three hours of time. Ulti-
mately Mr.. Aldrich paid a high compli-
ment to the German people and their
Emperor and the incident closed for
the day with the statement by Mr..
Stone that while Mr.. Aldrich and Mr..
Depew, who had also been involved
in the controversy, had not made a
straight forward retraction. as he had

compelled to stick to the public high
