 According to the officers, two negroes, Will Hill and Harry Somerfieid, were lEred out to lonely spot late Wednes- day night by an unknown white man, who promised to sell them several quarts of whisky, providing they meet him at an appointed place on the Vanderbilt road. Arriving on the scene the negroes were met by the white man with large revolver, who commanded them hands up" The negroes refused to comply with the demand and in the pitched gun battle that followed, Somerfield was killed and Hill painfully wounded in the right shoulder.
 Hill went to detective headquarters where his wound was dressed. It was then learned from the negro that the unknown white man was taken to the fatal spot in a large touring car by an- other white man who did not take part in the shooting.
 After a careful investigation into the matter by Detectives Jones, Brewer. Hickman, Propst. Barefield and Officer Cartwright working on the case, Paul Locasia a local taxicab driver, residing on Avenue H, between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets. was taken into cus- tody and after severe questioning on the part of tle officers. be confessed to have been the driver of the automobile, but said that he did not take part in the at- tempted robbery.

 In diplomatic circles here there was much conjecture as to the possible sig nificance of announcement that the su- preme council would reassemble at San Reno, Italy. for negotiations with the Serbians.

ment OF the condition of the colOred citi
zens OF this Republic. In the states of Ore
gon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and in
British Columba-just across the line
there are varlOuSly estimated to be in the
neighbOrhOod of $4,000 colored citizens and
i'll their direct interest are four weekly pub
locations issued-the Advocate and Times
of Portland, Oregon. and the Searchlight
and Cayton Weekly of Seattle, Washing.
ton-and | venture the assertion that the
four have not combined circulation to
exceed 1000, if verify that many. How
well these papers are edited is matter of
opinion, but the editors never lose an OPP
portunity to champion the rights of their
colOred brethren, and yet from the SUBJ
scription encouragement they receive for
their efforts their work seems poorly APP
preciated Caytons Weekly fares but little
worse and never no better at the hands OF
the colored public than the three other pub
LEGATIONS, and summing it all up, | often
wonder what's the justification for any OF
them being published, and yet it must be
done, if the publishers themselves would
have something Of square deal in the pub
lie affairs of this Northwest. Frequently
after l have mailed my publication,
which is filled, at least from my view
point with good things, I wonder, do
the thoughts it contains like the snow
flake, fall lightly on the sod and melt
away without leaving trace behind.
further wonder if the paper had not have
been mailed at all would any one have ser
iously missed it, knowing, as the most OF
them do, their names would not have APP
peared in it's columns even if it had have
come out In other words, are we as a dis
tinct class and element in this country look
ing only for fattery instead of facts? How.
ever, Cayton's Weekly feels encouraged
when even ''comp.' subscriber complains
of not having regularly received it's red hot

to publish the rag he will endeavor to sup

and the owners >of the whole still owe
about one-third of the purchase price or

of money bear interest at Z per cent per
annum amounting to about .forty-two
thousand dollars per year, all Of which is
paid out and for which they get no re-
turns If that amount of interest, to say
nothing of the principal, was placed IN
the hands of colored persons, it would
not only pay those contributing to that
amount handsome dividends on what they
had invested, but in addition to the
dividends it would furnish regular en-
poyment to colored men and women
quite competent to transact such busl-
ness. which of itself would be worth the
investment AS was said by MIR. Clayton

with your red hot weekly? I have not had
it for four weeks and l am getting mighty
lonesome for it, The Advocate accidentally
got knocked off the mailing list and that is
the only thing that was the matter, but it
sometimes occurs to me that an absolute
suspension should answer, not only the in
quiry of the Advocate, but the inquiry of
every subscriber of Caytons Weekly who
entertains like interested feeling towards
it as does the editor of the Advocate init
mate he does If Cayton's Weekly is a red
hot NUMBER as said above, then it occurs
to me that it would grow in the way Of
such subscribers by leaps and bounds, COM
ing from those who do not agree with it's
editorial policy the same as those who ac-
quiesce in it, Despite the fact Clayton s
Weekly has in the main been edited in the
interest Of the colored population of this
country in gneral but the Northwest in par
ticular, yet it has almost as many white sub
scribers as colored, but it has not suffc-
lent number of both of them to set the world
on fire Publications of this country issued
in the main in the interest of the white popu-
lation, when vigorously edited, with pro-
nounced opinions on the issues Of the day,
as does Cayton's Weekly try to have, grow
like mushrooms and thereby bark back to the
editor the public's approval of his fearless
ness III expressing an OPINION on the questions
of the day. 1t seems that as a rule the publ
cations of this country issued in the interest
of the colored citizens get mighty cold
reception at the hands Of the colored citi-
zens themselves-to be sure some Of them,
yes quite few, subscribe for our paper,
but what Of the masses? If they are inter-
ested there is no evidence on record Of that
fact. In this country there are something
like twelve million colored citizens and yet
there is but one publication that is issued in
their interest that boasts of over 100000
subscribers, and it has built up that enorm-
Gus subscription list from a colored mans
viewpoint by publishing columns and pages

quence in either the uplift or the better

A bright clear sunset spread over the
Puget Sound country last Monday evening
and as l stepped off Of the street car it's
glorious blaze flashed full into my face, and,
despite the fact I am fully four thousand
miles from my native heath and have not
seen either them or anyone directly there
from for more than thirty years, yet that
remark to myself, yea audibly, clear sun
set, no rain tomorrow. That was a bit Of
provincialism common to southwestern Mis-
sissippi, which I heard in my more youthful
days, and for the moment [ was living it
all over again. While such was an accepted
theory among all classes Of that section, yet
I am not wholly sure there was anything
real in it, but after rainy season clear
sunset seemed to be indicative Of approach
ing good weather. Since I have lived on
Puget Sound I have learned to forget wealth
er signs, but that clear sunset last Monday
favorably impressed me, and I thought I
would watch it, All Of the above, however,
may have been prompted by the advance
agent Of my second childhood, as we are
taught, once man and twice a child. [

I have once been man, yea man among
