Stellaeoom Asylnm. Mystery.
South Bend (Wash.) Journal.
The Steilacoom Insane Asylum has an
other mystery. The bTUlsed condition in
which old Mr. Gylfe was found when he
came from there a. year or so ago has
never been satisfactorily explained. Then
came the Christensen scandal and the
Coates hanging, and now comes the sud
den death, from "exhaustion," the death
certificate says, of Henry Plate, an ex
Postmaster of Snohomish County, and
an inmate of the hospital. His wife found
one arm fractured, an injury of three
weeks' standing, and yet an astonishing
amount of ignorance was displayed by the
asylum officials concerning the matter,
to say nothing of neglect His body was
covered with bed sores.

POLITICS IN MAR
KARDBST FIGHT WILL BE OX THE
IEGISIiATIVS TICKET.
McBride and. Antl-McBrlde Candi
dates The Congressional Ticket
The Other Offices.
SALEM, Or., Feb. 26. From present In
dications the hardest fight among poli
ticians will be over the legislative ticket,
while the people generally will take most
Interest in the County Judgeship. The
mam issue in the legislative contest will
beMcBride or anti-McBride. This has been
understood ever since last election. Be
fore the first of the year the McBride
people had put up a legislative slate and
its make-up was generally known to the
public One of the strongest men on the
Hst, however, refused to wear the collar
with all Its appendages, and his name was
taken off at his own request. The list
has been revised twice since then, and is
supposed to be 6till opwu to corrections.
A month ago it was supposed that the
McBride slate could carry in the conven
tion with little difficulty; but there seoms
to be some doubt about it now, ond Ma
rlon County may 6end to the Legislature
delegates either unpledged or openly op
posed to the re-election of McBride to
the Senate. The friends of McBride are
quite generally numbered abong those pol
iticians, known in Marion County as "the
push," and the reform clement promises
to make a hot time for the leaders of that
class.
So far as the Congressional ticket la
concerned, it is probable that Gatch will
get the delegation from Marion. That
he will get it solid is Improbable, how
ever, for Marion County never sends a
olid delegation to tbe Congressional con
vention. Heretofore the strongest fight for County
officers has been over the Clerkship and
the office of Sheriff. This year the County
Judgeship will be in the thickest of the
fight, G. P, Terrell, the present incum
bent, will be In line for renomlnatlon.
Other persons mentioned are: Ex-Judge
O. "W. Hubbard, J. H. Scott, E. P. Mor
com, "W. M. Bushey, E. T. Judd and "W.
T. Grimm.
Fellows' cemetery, near Salem. It is
Captain C. A. Murphy and "W. A. "Wtft
rsell are mentioned. There Is little talk
over the Clerk's office, because "W. "W.
Kail is serving his first erm, and is sup
posed to be certain of re nomination. The
offlces of Treasurer and Recorder are in
the same condition. For County School
Superintendent, the present Incumbent, G
"W. Jones, will be before the convention,
and will have for rivals E. T. Moot and
"W. J. Crawford.
Samuel Thurston's Grave.
The recent suggestion that the State
of Oregon should have made provision for
the removal of the body of Senator E. D.
Baker to Oregon, and for proper inter
ment in this State, has raised the ques
tion, "What care is the State taking of
the graVe of Samuel R. Thurston?"
Thurston was Oregon's first delegate In
Congress, and he died while on the steam
er returning home. Hds remains were
buried at Acapulco, Mexico, and afterward
brought to Oregon in pursuance of -an act
of the Legislature. The grave in which
the body was finally laid at rest Is In the
center of the main road through the Odd
Fellows' Cemetery, near Salem. It Is
surrounded with a low fence, made of iron
posts, united with a heavy chain. At the
head of the grave stands a white marble
monument, on a granite foundation. On
the right side of the monument Is the in
scription: " Hon. Samuel R. Thurston.
Born in Maine, April 17, 1S15; died off
Acapulco, April 9, 1851." On the front of
the monument are the words: "Thurston
Erected by the People of Oregon." The
left side of the shaft bears the inscription:
"Here rests Oregon's first delegate; a man
of genius and learning, a lawyer and
statesman; hi? Christian virtues equaled
by his wide philanthropy. His public
acts aro"hIs best eulogSsm."
The grave is keDt clear of grass and
needs, and always presents the appear
ance of being well cared for. The mon
ument is frequently scoured to bo freed
from moss and dirt
It is noted in passing that the grave ol
ex-Governor John P. Gaines is sadly
neglected. It is near that of Thurston's,
and attracts attention by comparison.
The monument Is dirty and moss-grown
and has begun to loan. The grave is sur
rounded with brickwork, that is falling
to pieces, and everything bears tbe ap
pearance of neglect.
Inspection of Orchards.
Lloyd T. Reynolds, Commissioner of
Horticulture for tbe Second District, has
recently paid a visit of inspection to or
chards in Polk County. He reports that
while it is jet too early to determine
definitely, there is a good prospect for the
recovery of ost of the fruit trees that
were Injured by the frost last spring. The
trees are budding out, and tho only ques
tion is whether they will die later In the
season. Their present appearance prom
ises well.
Mr. Reynolds says that there seems to
be a greater disposition than usual to
spray fruit trees, and much spraying is
now being done. This is the proper sea
son, be says, for either the Bordeaux
spray or winter spraying. Those who
wish to do effective spraying for ccdlin
much or San Jose scale must do it im
mediately, for the season will soon be
past. The first application of Bordeaux
mixture should be given now, and the
spraying repeated later in the season.
Judges of School Elections.
A typographical error in the school elec
tion law of 1S93 has caused some doubt In
regard to the appointment of judges of
school elections in districts having a
school population of 2000 or over. The
law referred to is found on page 23 of the
general laws of 1S98. Section 2 of the act
provides among other things that "the
board of directors of all such districts
shall establish at least one polling place
in each ward, the' Judge and Clerks of
-which shall bo qualified electors within
the provisions of this act." A comparison
of the printed law with the original act
on file in the State Department shows that
the word "Judge," used as above, should
have been "judEes." No difficulty has
been experienced on account of the error,
but a question has been raised as to
the number of judges to be appointed at
the election next month.
State Teachers' Examinations.
Superintendent of Public Instruction J.
H. Ackorman stated today that the exami
nation papers of teachers who were ex
amined week before last have not yet
been graded. This delay, he says, is due
to the failure of some County Superin
tendents to forward their papers promptly.
Under the rules of the examination all
the papers will be sent to the State De
partment, and will be sent by Superintend
ent Ackerman to the members of the
Board of Examiners, to be graded. The
questions for the examination were com
piled by various members of the board,
and the papers on each subject will bo
graded by the member of the board who
proposed the questions on that subject.
For instance, all the papers on algebra
will be sent to the member of the board
who compiled the question on that sub
ject, and after they have been graded
they will be returned to the State Super
intendent. Under this procedure it is
impossible to send out the papers until the
last County has reported. There is one
County yet to report, and it is expected
that tomorrow the papers can be dis
tributed. The teachers who are waiting
to learn the results of their examination
will probably be in suspense for two weeks
more, at least
Aslc tor a Pardon.
Governor Geer today received from H.
T. Bagley, Deputy District Attorney for
"Washington County, a. petition, asking
that a pardon be granted to J. E. Rob-
I inson, who is serving a, three months'
sentence in the County jail at Hlllsboro
for stealing a, shoulder of pork. The
petition signed by Mr. Bagley states that
the arrest was not made at the Instance
of the injured person, but- by Constable
C. "W. Redmond, at the request of the
Deputy District Attorney, and that the
crime was committed which the defendant
was intoxicated. Robinson pleaded guilty
and was sentenced January 5, 1900, so
that there Temains only about five weeks
of his sentence unserved. Justice of the
Peace "W. D. Smith and Deputy Sheriff
C. E. Deichman also join in the petition.
There are no other petitioners.

GOVEBA'MEXT WORK IN ALASKa.
Military Road and Telegraph Line
to Be Constructed.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26-. Captain W. R.
Abercrombie, head of the Government ex
ploration party which last season did much
work in the Copper Rier country and be
gan opening up a military road from Port
Valdes to Fort Egbert, on the Yukon, left

The telegraph line will be built from Port
Valdes along the road to Fort Egbert, and
thence down the Yukon to St. Michaels.
Among other northern improvements, he
says, a large government wharf at Valdes
has been decided upon. An Eastern syn
dicate, headed by Henry Villard, is now
having surveys made .along the general
course of the military road, with a view to
building a line. In May a company of
troops will follow.

VENEZUELA FINANCES.
Reported
to Bo in Unsatisfactory
Condition.
NEW YORK, Feb. 26. Reports received
at the State Department at Washington
indicate that Venezuela is financially not
in a very satisfactory condition. The
Government, while seemingly well estab
lished, does not deem it expedient to raise
revenue through excessive taxation, and
its treasury is consequently not very
flourishing. Besides, the coUntry has been
pretty severely shaken by the revolution
through which It has just passed, and ap
prehension is felt that the counter-revolution
will gather strength and thus fur
ther delay a revival of business.
Officials of the administration have not
yet been advised that Venezuela has paid
the expenses of its representation on and
before the Venezuelan arbitration tribu
nal, which rendered its award some
months ago. It is known 'that former
President Harrison, who was leading
counsel for Venezuela, received a part of
his fee before he went to Paris, but tho
authorities have not been advised that
he received the remainder.
If the claim is not paid, no doubt Is
expressed by the officials that Venezuela
will regard the debt as one which should
be promptly -met and will, as soon as its
finances improve, take' measures to settle
It.

THE STEVEDORES' STRIKE.
Pacifle Coast Company Carries Along
Its Orvn Longshoremen.
VANCOUVER, B. C, Feb. 26. With the
presence in this port today of the Pacific
Coast Steamship Company's steamer
Walla Walla, the stevedore strike has
again caused trouble at the docks. Super
intendent Trowbridge, of Seattle, came up
on the steamer and brought with him a
double crew. The new force of seamen
remained on board while the regular crew
went on the wharf and worked as long
shoremen. There were no disturbances
at the dock, hut several meetings were
held, and the strikers finally concluded
to yield and accept Superintendent Trow
bridge's offer to employ without remuner
ation, the delegate of the stevedores, who
works with the men and take his orders
from tho Steamship Company's mate.
When a committee notified Mr. Trow
bridge of this action, however, he declined
to accept the offer.
"I have," explained Superintendent
Trowbridge, "increased the crew on the
boat, and there will be no delay hereafter.
I shall engage no longshoremen in Van
couver if I cannot direct their work.
Should my crew be interfered with and
should I be obliged to discontinue using
my crew to unload and load freight, I
shall have the freight transferred at New
Whatcom, and not call at Vancouver at
all."
Then the Union appealed to Mayor Gar
den for protection against -what It termed
a violation of the alien labor law in the
Importation on the Walla Walla of 32 long
shoremen. After a consultation with Col
onel Dudley, .the American Consul, the
Mayor asked what constituted an Ameri
can seamen, and what are the privileges
enjoyed by him under international law.
Before replying, Consul Dudley wired for
instructions from Washington.
SAMIOX-PA'CICERS' C03IBIXE.
Project "Will Be Launched on the
Sound in April.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 26 The Chron
icle says that the principals of a new
salmon-packers' combine on Puget Sound
have held several meetings in this Cty,
and arrangements have practically been
completed to launch the project next
April. George T. Myers, the biggest pack
er !r tht? Sound country, and president
of tho Puget Sound Packers' Association;
Harwood B. Morgan, B. A. Seaborg, an
other heavy packer, and several other
cannerymen from the Sound, are said to
"have been In conference. Mr. Myers has
admitted that the new combine had prac
tically been arranged by 1, B. McGovern,
of New York, who succeeded last year in
combining the canners on the Columbia
River so as to control the price of canned
salmon.
"The object of the combine," said- Mr.
Myers, "is to cpntrol tbe price of the
Puget Sound pack as well as to reduce
the running expenses of our canneries.
When Mr. McGovern went to New York
a few days ago he carried with him op$
tions on Seaborg's cannery at Falrhaven,
the Anacortes Packing Company and Ro
sario Packing Company's plants at Ana
cortes, and that of George T. Myers &
Co., at Seattle. The prices range all the
way from 56MOO to 5320,000, and the four
are the biggest concerns on the Sound.
Four other packers have agreed to enter
the combine when all is ready, so that the
thing is practically done."
The Puget Sound pack amounts to about
900.C00 cases annually and is larger than
the Alaska pack.
Little Danger of Epidemic.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Feb. 26. Accord
ing to the report of City Health Officer
Burt, the danger of a diphtheria epidemic
in this City is now past. Strict sanitary
measures have been employed, under di
rection of the Health Officer, to check the
spread of the disease ever since the first
case was reported, about a month ago.
These efforts have been so far successful
to the extent that the threatened epidemic
has, it Is thought, been stamped out. The
quarantine restrictions have been re
moved from most of the houses where
coses existed, and the two or three re
maining ones are convalescent.
