100000 Prayers For
The Dying, Emperor

the midsummer nights breeze, all
combined to make a memorable
a never-to-be forgotten scene.
While the majority of them
knelt flat on the ground, many of
thief were walking hither and
thither, making deep obesiances
towards the palace and uttering
prayers. The eyes of most were
swollen and red.
The household department had
hoisted a lantern within the pal
ace grounds to show the direction
In which the imperial sick cham
Der was situated.
AS the night advanced the
ground became more and more
crowded. People of all classes
came up in twos and threes or
singly.
The stony ground in front of
the palace was literally covered
with people. Most of them form
ed in independent groups, knelt
flat upon the ground, their fore
heads nearly touching the gravel,
and mumbled out prayers.
Here and there tallow candles
were burning and small temporary
shrines had been set up, with
some offering thereon.
All sects and descriptions of
religion known in Japan were
represented; while people of al
most every occupation and trade
were observed, from priest, sol
der, official, student down to ril:-
isharnan and laborer.
Such was the scene that oon-
tinued through all the night until
the message came that Mutsuhito
was dead.

BELLINGHAM, Aug. 26.-W.
H. Kaufman, assessor of What
com county, who has withdrawn
from the republican party to en-
ter the progressiv primaries of
September 7 for the office of
state land commissioner, is the
only man in the state who has
been able to bring the fish trust
to terms. Kaufman raised the
valuation of the trap locations
from $50, 900 to $750,000, and
the board of equalization, despite
the appearance of Attorney e. s.
McCord of Seattle to plead for
the trust, yesterday was afraid
to lower the amount as they had
done in previous years.
: The fish trust had lodged taxa
tion on their traps. The value of
the traps is based on the catch.
But the fish trust was strong
enough to put joker in the law,
so that the state fish commission
err was liable to a years impris-
onment In Jail or fine of $1,000
II they yielded any information
concerning the catch to the coun-
ty assessors.
In spite of this, Kaufman coll
lected, in his first year, as much
as had been obtained from the
fish trust in the previous 15
years. Kaufman secured a unan-
imous resolution from the asses
sors all over the state. which
will probably result IN knocking
out the Joker in the fish laws.

SANTA FEE, N. NJ, Aug. 49,
Adult Pueblo Indians, 5000, are
kicking something awful at being
made citizens. Since the 10000
acres of Pueblo land was coded
to the United States by Mexico,
these Indians have been about
running their own affairs to suit
themselves. They have their own
chief, second chief and other
tribal officers, elected by them
selves. And they got along finely,
cultivating the soil and raising
livestock.
Then stepped in U. s. Judge
William H. Hope, deciding the
case of Felipe Sandoval, charged
with selling whiskey to the Pneb-
los, and decided that the II 1ians
were citizens of the United States
according to treaty made with
Mexico, granting full citizenship
to all inhabitants OF the annexed
territory.
And being citizens, the judge
held that 1t was no crime to sell
whiskey to them. Also he decided
that the Pueblos had the right to
vote at the white folks, elections,
and the right" to pay taxes, too.
None of these rights" struck
the Indians very favorably. They
don't want the white mans whis-
key-that is, those who haven't
been made drunkards already by
