Seattle, Wash The Lake Washing ton canal tnntter again came np for dis cussion before the Chamber of Commerce at its meeting recently, and the offer nade by the Seattle Brewing and Malt ing Company to give 130,000 in thirty monthly installments toward the wort was discussed at some length. Some oi the membsrs were in favor of widening the present canal for the purpose of low ering the lake, thinking that this was hardly the time to Innld a ship canal. The offer was made for a shin canal only, however, and others thought the work could be arcompliahed bv home canital.

A gigantic fraud has been unearthed in the hall of rec ords in this city,- which may lead to the frustration of a clever scheme to land foreign-born Chinese. The records of the health department have been inter lined in several hundred instances, each attesting the birth of a Chinese. By this means foreign-born Chinese have obtained birth certificates, which they think will entitle them to residence un der the Gearv act. The false entrina am dated aa far back aa 1807.

Charles King A Co. have secured judg ment for (20,670.33 against the Palouse Irrigation Company. The amount rep sen ted extras on a piece of irrigating work, the contract price of which was f22.217.52. The sale of a big tract of timber land in Chehalis county has recently been consummated, involving a large sum of money in the transfer. The tract con sists of about 4,200 acres in the Hump tulips country. It was sold by D. A. Blodgett to Frederick Nehf and John W. Prestel of Michigan. The price paid ac cording to the deed on file in the Aud itor's office was 130,000 and other valu able considerations. The same prop erty was told about two years ago for (20,000. The Farmers' Alliance and Industrial Union is preparing to build a flouring mill at some point in the Palouse coun try, having a daily capacity of 150 bar rels. The location is not yet decided upon, but it will be either Garfield, Pull man or Oakesdale. They have a propo sition from a Minneapolis firm to put in the machinery, the Alliance to furnish the building for $12,000 in three equal annual payments. It is hoped to pro cure a bonus from one of three towns mentioned to assist in making the first payment. The Secretary of the State Land Com mission has been instructed to notify the local tide-land appraisers of Mason county that In compliance with the de cision of the Supreme Court in Smith vs. Forrest the board must proceed immedi ately to survey and plat natural oyster beds. This ia a step toward the reser vation of such beds. The Tjind Com missioners by law must receive applica tions from purchasers of tide lands, art less the same are shown to be natural oyster beds, and plats filed by local tide- land appraisers are only evidence to prove the status of all such lands. Local tide-laud appraisers have thus far neg lected their duty, which, if persisted in, may result in the loss of tide lands which should come within the reservation.

The physi cians predict more insanity cases from the same cause. There has been talk of riding Lambert on a rail since he has been locked up. Some of the old Ta coina residents are vigorous in their de nunciation of the sanctification follow ing. It is understood that Rev.

It will prob ably be made a test case. TWIno thn rtiutt few days there has been a marked improvement in the run of salmon, and the average catch per boat Is much above the average at this season of the year. This fact maybe! due to the comparatively long spell of warm weather which has prevailed for a month past, or possibly the long-expected four-year run hat materialized.

Four of Hapgood's men the other day , cautzht exactly 2.000 pounds of fish, or an average of about twenty each, and many other hauls equally large are re-' ported. ' nnnalderabla excitement has been caused in the vicinity of Medford during the past few days bv the resultof a partial clean-up of the Miller placer mine, situ- ated about five miles west of that city. I This mine was recently purchased by Portland narties. and between f 12,000 and 13,000 has been taken out as the result of the past winter's run. A par- tial clean-up of the Sturgis mine, about twelve miles from this city, which was finished last week, nroduced $30,000 in yellow metal for its owners. These mines are considered two oi tne Des piacer mines in Southern Oregon, and the re sult of the clean-up of both has been watched with interest by mining men all over the State. The Miller mine com prises 240 acres, all of which is consid nred as irood aa that worked in the past. only two acres of which has been touched during the last eight years, i ne mine lias been run with only one giant, and the present company is making arrange ments to put in two more giants, as there is plenty of water to run that number during the winter season.

Speech-making was the order of the day. Colonel Fiske of Denver advocated the building by the government of a rail road from Pittsburg to San Francisco, and later one to the South, as a means of assisting the people. The convention adjourned sine die. THE INDC8TBIA1S. Careful Estimate of the Different Bands of Coxeyltes on tbe Way. Washington, D. C Representative Davis and H. E. Taubeneck have been making a careful estimate of the differ ent bands of Coxeyites on the way to Washington City, and claim that there are 6,010 men tramping or riding on boats and borrowed trains toward the capital. Mr. Davis does not believe in the wisdom or efficiency of the move ment, and has written a magazine arti cle in which he points out that tbe move ment is a result of currency contraction and summarized it as " organized want." If the government should yield to Cox ey's demands, other armies would march on the capital with other demands, and the result would be government by the multitude. The remedy for the present state of business he finds in tbe ballot. which he defines as recorded opinion. "NoCoxeyites have come from Kansas," he said in a conversation on the subject, " because Kansas has expressed herself properly by her elections, and Nebraska, which is largely a Populist State, has contributed no more than seventy-five men." By imprisoning the leaders, he says. the authorities have made a swan out ol a goose. The chief danger Irom the movement, he thinks, will develop next fall, when the weather become, too cold for men to camp outdoors. Then ne loons lor iron Die. BATTLE WITH OUTLAWS.

In the act creating the commission it is stipulated there shall be three Commissioners at certain fixed Salaries, and this act still remains in force.

Kyle has introduced a resolution in the Senate calling for non-intervention in Hawaiian affaire. It reads : " That it is the sense of the Senate that the United States shall not use force for the purpose of restoring to the throne the deposed Queen of the Sandwich Islands, or for the purpose of destroying the ex isting government; that, the provisional government having beendul v recognized, tbe highest international interests re quire that it shall pursue its own line of policy; that Intervention in the political affairs of these islands by other govern ments will be regarded as an act un friendly to the government of the United States."

The French Cabinet Tenders Its Resignation. CASIMIE-PEEEIEB'S FOXY MOVE. The Beslgnallon of the Minister, re garded aa a Scheme In Favor of the Premier for Prealdent In the Coming Election In That Republic. Paris. In the Chamber of Deputies during the debate of the question whether the Minister of Public Works had authority to allow employes of State railroads to attend the congress of rail road men the Premier demanded tbe adoption of the order of the day. The motion was rejected" by a vote of 275 to 225. Premier Casimir-Ferrier thereupon left for the Palais Bourbon. Tbe Minis ters left the private room in which they had been conferring, and proceeded in a bodv to the Palais d'Elysee and formally tendered their resignations to President Carnot. The attitude of Premier Casi-mir-Perrier tends to confirm the most general belief that he rode for a fall in this contest, as he seemed to do in the recent Toussaint debate, under the in fluence of the approaching election fori President of the Repnblic, He is ap-l parently being abetted by President Carnot, who thus has broken the pact entered into when M. Casimir-Perrier accepted the Premiership. On that oc casion M. Carnot promised that he would not stand again for the Presidency, and that he wonld support in every way in his power the candidacy of M.

Lord Rosebery spoke the other evening in Birmingham to the meeting which had just inaugurated the Midland Liberal Federation. He hoped that the Liberal conference In Leeds, he said, would speak emphatically in favor of a great limitation of the powers and prerogatives of tbe Lords. This wonld be in tlie interest not only of constitu tional lesislation.bnt also in the interest of the Lords themselves. Joseph Cham berlain had been a great turncoat, unce be was an advocate of disestablishment, and was hostile to the Lords.- Never! he less he recently had made an animated defense of . the Church of Scotland. The Lords admired his dexterity, bnt Mr. Chamberlain was not talking seri ously. Hit hostility was not serions, but the mere legerdemain of a wander ing rhetorician. Referring to the deser tion of the Welsh mem tiers of Parlia ment, Lord Rosebery said that the Welsh disestablishment bill wonld 1 pa"w-l before the government's appeal lo tbe rwintrv. If the discontented Welshmen did not believe in the governments hon esty and honor, tbe sooner they carried their threats into execution the better, lie never wouid consent to be a Minister on tutlerance. , AFFAIBS IX SAMOA. A Conflict Has Probably Occurred With the Rebels. Auckland, New Zealand. The steam ship Monowai from Samoa May 17 brings important news. When she sailed a large portion of the government's army had been sent to the front, and the reh- els were massed at Atua, the battlefield of 18S8. A conflict between the relwls and tlie government troops was then probable at any hour. The King when the .steamship arrived had given the Aana party until Mav 19 in which to submit. Ia event of their failure to do so the Savaii natives and a portion of the Tuamasaira natives were to attack them. Tlie British warship Curaco and the tier man warships Buzzard and Falke were at Apia. It was understood, however, the commanders of these vessels were without orders from their governments as to how to act in rase of emergency. The attitude of the rebels was defiant, and it is expected an engagement has been fought before now. SHOT BY TROOPS. Seven Anarehleta Kseeuted at Barce lona, Spain. Barcelona. Codima, Cerezuela, So gas, Bernat, Viliaruba, V. X. Villarubla and Mir, the anarchists, were executed recently outside the citadel of Mons juich. "Sogas and Cerezuela joined in the prayers of the priest, but their com panions shouted revolutionary cries. The anarchists were placed in line with their faces to the wall of the citadel. At the first volley from the troops only four ol tbe convicts fell dead, and a second vol ley was necessary to kill Sogas and Co dima. . - - . - An African Treaty. . Nsw York. The Herald's Brussels dispatch says that a treaty concerning the Congo Free State has been concluded between King Leopold and the British Minister to Belgium. ' The King aban dons to England a email strip of terri tory in the region of the Upper Congo, thus giving England access northward to the Nile. In exchange England grants the King until the end of his reign the left bank of the Nile up to the 17th de gree. This is considered the best African treaty concluded for many years, and is a master-stroke of diplomacy on the part of the King, as it shuts out the French from the new Win and places the Congo Free State nnder the obligation of fight ing the Soudan Dervishes. , Treaty Bight, Infringed. Pabis. M. de l'Oniel hss announced his intention of introducing into tbe Chamber of Deputies tbe question of the British treaties with China, Italy and Belgium, alleging thev are a violation oi the French rights and existing treaties. I.e Temps Bays it is not so mnch the Anglo-Congo treaty as the fact that Eng land wishes to establish a butler State lietween the eventual possessions of France and Great Britain in Central Af rica, following the example ot the Siam ese buffer State. According to Le Temps there is danger also that England will ultimately absorb the Upper Kile region.
