BELLOMY BUSCH - OKEtiON CITY
IS A NOVEL DEFENSE.
Plea nf a "Gold" llrlek Mau In the
Supreme Court,
Skattlb, Wash., February W. The
attorney for the defense in the case of
the SUte vs. W. II. Knowlton, the "gold
brick swindler," has set up a somewhat
novel defense before the supreme court.
Knowlton is under sentence for swin
dling Banker Wooding, of Aberdeen,
out of several thousand dollars by means
of a "gold" brick. Mr. Jones had one
of Knowlton's "gold" bricks with him,
which he showed the supreme judges,
and asked if a man was not indeed fool
ish who allowed himself to be robbed by
so brassy a device. Mr. Jones held that
w hile Knowlton was guilty morally, he
was not guilty legally, because a man
must use ordinary precaution in order
to protect himself, and if he does not
the law is not bound to protect him.
Therefore, Knowlton, in trading ofl' his
"gold" brick for Banker W'ooding's gold
dollars, had committed no crime of
which the court could take cognizance
and that the prisoner should be dis
charged. WORKING FOR A SITE.
Tac ana Will Try to Local the Army
Post Near That City.
Tacoma, February 18. Tacoma is
working to secure a site of 1,000 acres of
land to be offered to the government
commission of five military officers,
which is to locate an army post on Pu
get Sound this year. The chamber of
commerce has appointed a committee of
of leading citizens, which has opened
headquarters and is doing energetic
work. The site will be on the gravel
prairie, south of the city, where the
state militia encampmentB have always
been held, and which has been pro
nounced by General Bradley of the
United States army, retired, and other
armv ofllcere, to constitute an ideal site,
combining a bard bottom, with protec
tion by groves ot pine trees, ana an
abundance of fuel and pure water. The
chief point to be urged is the transpor
tation facilities available here, where
the troops were concentrated during last
year's strike, and the city's strategic lo
cation at the head of navigation on Pu-.
get Sound.
The Prlneeaa Paulina Ueail.
Nmv York, February ' 18. Princess
Paulina, who arrived in New York De
cember 22 last, and who has since that
time been the object of great interest to
thousands, died in this city to-day.
Princess Paulina was born in Holland in
1870, and during the past nine years haB
been seen and fondled by nearly all the
kings and queens of Europe. She was
brought to this country under a two
years' contract by Manager F. P. Proc
tor. The pricess was exactly 17 inches
high and weighej but pounds. Two
weeks before her arrival she had an at
tack of the grip, and was laid up for a
few days. She soon recovered, and Jan
uary 29 gave a special reception, attend
ed by nearly a hundred well-known
physicians and surgeons. She was taken
ill a week ago, ana was pronounced to
be suffering from bronchitis, but it was
not until Thursday that her life was de
spaired of. The remains will be taken
to Holland for burial.

St. Louih, February 18. United
States Circuit Judge Henry C. Caldwell
has recently been asked many questions
as to the attitude of the court in the
matter of Garnishment suits against re
ceivers of the Atchison & Topeka and
the St. lxuli & San Francisco roads to
secure payments of debts owed by em
ployes. To-day lie placed ou file in the
clerk's office a letter, which is intended
to be an answer to cover all such ques
tions. The letter is as follows :

CRUSHED IN THE MUD.
Sliooklnc Death of Fred Wells Near
Ashland.
Ashland, Or., February 18. Fred
WellB, the 13-year-old son of James
Wells, living three miles north of Ash
land, was killed in an unusual and
shocking manner last evening. Early
in the afternoon he left his farm home
on horseback to herd his father's sheep
off a neighbor's pasture, as he had been
in the habit of doing. Not returning at
the usual time his folks became anxious,
and his father, brother and the neigh
bor's boy started out after supper in the
evening to look for him. About two
miles lrom home they found his horse's
trail and with a lantern followed it to
where it crossed a gulch, the neighing of
the boy's horse being heard in the mean
time. The animal was found fast iu the
mud and half dead. Directly under the
horse and almost buried was the lifeless
body of the poor boy, his body lying
lengthwise with the hone, the feet to
the horse's head, one leg only being ex
posed to view. How the accident hap
pened, of course, can only be surmised,
but it is supposed that the animal stum
bled, and tiie Ixiy not looking for it was
thrown suddenly out of the saddle and
the struggles of the heavy 1,200-pound
horse in the miry clay crushed the life
out of him almost instantly, as he was
buried in the mud.

ENGLAND NOT ASLEEP.
Kyes Fully Open to Importance of the
Nicaragua dual.
London, February 10. In the house
of commons this afternoon Sir Edward
Harlund, Conservative, asked whether
the government was aware that Mor
gan's Nicaraguan canal bill had passed
the United States Senate and was now
before the Iioubu of representatives, and
whether, in view of the importance of
the canal to British ship-owners, the
government ould not make urgent rep
resentations to tne government oi me
United States against the provisions of
the bill detrimental to the interests of
British shipping. Sir it, ward also asked
whether the government would consider
the DroDrietv of anemic upon tne gov
eminent of the United States the im
portance of the creation of a British and
American commission to deal with the
question of the construction of the canal
and us status when built.
Sir Edward (irav. parliamentary sec
retary for the foreign office, replied it
was not usual for the government to
make any representations against ouib
before loreign legislatures, l lie govern
ment, he added, considered such a canal
us it was proposed to construct through
Nicaragua should be under international
control and whatever steps it may deem
desirable will be taken by the govern
inent to advance this view. He, how
ever, saw no reason to suppose the
United states would not maintain tne
treaty engagement.
Sir George Baden-Powell, Conserva'
tive, questioned the government con
cerning the proposed Paciiic cables. Sid'
nev Buxton, of the parliamentary col'
ouial office, said negotiatiatioiis relative
to the construction ol a cable, were pro
ceeding, but it would not be to the pub
lic interest to enter into a detailed
statemeit of their status.

and April 30 last year, she had a similar
break-down near Acapulco, 1,897 miles
from her destination, and yet covered
the distance in ten days, three hours
having been lost in simply disconnect
ing the damaged cylinder. Before she
could be repaired at San Francisco the
revolution in calvailor occurred, ana
she was dispatched 2,500 miles to spend
three months protecting American in
terests there. On her return to San
Francisco she was docked, but again
there was no time to make the repairs,
as she was hurried to Behring sea. She
cruised over 5,000 miles during the sum
mer, all the time her crippled cylinder
being useless, and when she returned
to the navy yard in the autumn she was
promptly repaired, a new cylinder hav
ing been made during her absence. All
this time no one except those connected
with the snip had the slightest Idea
there was anything the matter with her.
Naval engineers complacently contrast
this record with that of La Gascogne.

WASHINGTON LEGISLATURE.
T.it of Ilia Work That Has lleen
eompllahed by That llody.
Ac
Olympia. February 10. With Satur
day ended the fifth week of the present
legislative session, anu wnne more tnan
half the time is now past very little
work has been accomplished. Three
weeks and a half remain and they will
be made the most of. It is said and
generally believed that Washington has
never been in such dire need ol proper
legislation as at this time. This of
course is cansed bv the unusual hard
times which have prevailed during the
fiast two years. Up to this time there
iave been 722 bills presented for consid
eration in the two legislative bodies. Of
these 470 were introduced in the house
and 244 In the senate. Only about ten
dava remain for the introduction of new
bills, for February 28 has been agreed
upon bv loint resolution as the last day
for this kind of business. That will be
til teen davs previous to adjournment.
and it is generally conceded that any
member having any measure ol import.
ance to present can easily tlo so bv that
time. Out of the Hood ol bills already
presented a comparitively small num
ber have passed either house and a still
smaller number both houses. The house
has passed twenty-nine bills which have
not been acted upon by the senate,
while that body has passed eighteen
bills which nave not passed the House.
Seven bills have passed both houses and
of these the governor has approved five.
The other two are still awaiting his
signature. The appended list of bills
which have passed either house or both
at this time will be found interesting as
showing the work already accomplished :

approval of the governor :

expenses of the present legislature.

Numerous bills in both houses have
been indefinitely postponed, and many
will probably never leave the commit
tee rooms. It is difficult to estimate
the number of bills that will be enacted
into laws, bnt of the number already
introduced it is safe to say that not one
fourth of them will pass both bouse.

Seattle Not Idle.
Seattli, February 18. The chamber
of commerce ha for some time been at
work on the provision of suitable site
for the military post to be established
on Puget Sound and hai secured 800
acres on Magnolia bluffs, the site rec
ommended by General Otis in hi re
port. This site commands the entrance
to Seattle harbor and the whole ap
proach to the Upper Sound and to the
government drydock on Port Orchard,
directly across the Sound. Fortifica
tions near Port Madison on the westsid
of the Sound would, with the Magnolia
bluffs forts, enable artillery to command
both approaches to Port Orchard and
the entrances to the proposed canal to
lake Washington. The site will be of
fered to the commission of five military
officers, which will decide on th location.
