OF kNoTTY PROBLEM.

Striving in vain to arrive at some
conclusion to get around the problem
of the DeVillier street sewer question,
the city council, in special meeting
last night talked for more than an
hour, every one of the nine aldermen
present, the mayor, the chairman OF
the board of bond trustees and the
city engineer taking part in the discus
sion. 1t finally resulted in the pass
age of a resolution, offered by Alder
man Williams and seconded by Alder

carrying with it the understanding
that further investigation in the mat

QUESTION OF IMPORTANCE.

other insurgent landslide.
This was the verdict OF the Repub-
leans OF the state Of Washington In
the contest between Miles Poindexter
and the stand-patters for the United
-Stetes senatofsfip, fought out at the
statewide primary yesterday. Com
prehCnsive returns from all over the
state early today indicate that Poin-
dexters plurality over Thomas Burke
and j. Austin, his stand-pat oppon-
ents, will exceed 25.000-a much
larger plurality than even his most
enthusiastic supporters expected.
The result is conceded by stand-pat
Republicans to be a blow to the In
iluence Of President Taft and the ma
tional administration in the north
west. The issue between Poindexter
and the administration was clearly
drawn when President Taft, ten days
ago. requested former Senator John
Wilson. OF Seattle, TO withdraw from
the race In order TO concentrate the
standpat strength and defeat Poindex-
ter. Wilson declared he retired at the
direct request of the president.
Burke's own county, King. was car
ried by Poindexter, by a plurality OF
rot less than 5000. and the indica-
tons today are that the insurgents
have also carried every other county
III the state.
The insurgents also carried every
congressional district, Congressman
,icCredle has been defeated by War
burton, radical insurgent. Congress-
man Humphreys of the Seattle dis
trict. who championed the ship sub

house.

suit will 60 far toward swinging
other Pacific coast and northwestern
states into the insurgent column.
Poindexter was regarded AZ the
most radical of the insurgents In con-
gress, and the standpatters concen-
trated their efforts TO defeat him.
Poindexter called into the fght Vic

Commenting OH the returns at

said: with full appreciation OF the

Roosevelt said that the report that
he might, under certain conditions,
