OL.YMPIA. Wash., March 12. The com
bination effected in the House for the
purpose of putting through a number of
public wagon roads, all of which carry
heavy appropriations, got in Its work at
the morning session, and succeeded by a
heavy vote in passing seven such meas
ures. One of these provides for the im

tween Conconully and the east line o
Okanogan County, and authorizes the
construction of a brige across the Okan
ogan River at Perry's Ferry. An appro
priation of $8000 Is made. The work Is
placed under the superivision of the
County Commissioners of Okanogan
County.
Another bill was passed by Ehrllch,
and provides for the survey and establish
ment of a state road about 45 miles in
length in Whatcom County. The road is
to berin at a point on the north side of
the Skagit River, where the first bridge
formerly crossed the Skagit River, being
about three miles northeast of Goddell's
Landing, in Whatcom County; thence
easterly along the Skajrft River over the
most feasible route to the mouth of Ruby
Creek: thence following Ruby Creek and
Canyon Creek to the mouth of Slate
Creek. A Board of Commissioners, con
sisting of three members, one to be named
by Whatcom County: the other by Skagit
County, and the third by the Governor, is
created. The two members from Skagit
and Whatcom Counties are to be members
of the Board of Commissioners, and will
receive but ?1 a day each for their work
as Road Commissioners. The third mem
ber will receive $5 a day. The sum of
$25,000 Is appropriated for the work. No
portion of this sum shall be available un
til Skagit County shall have agreed to
construct a state road from the present
terminus of the state wagon road at Mar
ble Mount to the county line between
Skagit and Whatcom Counties on the
Skagit River, a distance of about 10 miles,
and Whatcom County shall have agreed
to construct a road from the county line
between Skagit and Whatcom Counties
on the Skagit River to the first bridge
crossing on the Skagit River above. God
dell is the initial point of the state road
provided in the Ehrllch bill. It is fur
ther provided that the miners and mine
owners of Whatcom. County 6hall agree
to construct a road from Baron, Whatcom
County, to a connection with the state
road at the mouth of Slate Creek, a dis
tance of about seven miles.

wagon road beginning near Ethel, In

Tacoma. An appropriation of $50,000 is

Lewis County and $20,000 in Pierce County.
These two counties are required to con
tribute $25,000 for--the purpose of complet
ing the road. "
There is hardly a possibility that these
bills will pass the Senate.
House bill No. 95, by Ralne. is
of considerable importance to King,
and appropriates $5000 for the repair of
Snoqualmle Pass road, In King and Kit
titas Counties. Before the money appro
priated can be expended it is provided

DIFFERENT IX THE SEXATE.
President Promptly Snuffed Out First
Road Bill.
OLYMPIA, Wash., March 12. When the
first of the public road bills reached ihe
Senate this afternoon, Lieutenant-Governor
McBrlde promptly snuffed it out.
The bill in question was the one which
passed the House last night providing
for a road from Montesano to Port An
geles, carrying an appropriation of $30,
000. Senator Schofield of Chehalls, the
champion of the bill, moved that it be
made a special order for tomorrow aft
ernoon. President McBrlde ruled that it
would take a two-thirds vote to carry the
motion. The motion was lost.
Schofield then moved that the bill be
placed on the calendar.
Senator Sharp, who is aiding McBrlde
in his fight on the road bills, moved as a
substitute that the bill he referred to
the appropriations committee. The vote
on this substitute was a tie.
"The chair votes aye," said President
McBrlde. promptly, "and the bill will be
referred." It Is well known that any
bill referred to the appropriation com
mittee will not see the light of day dur
ing the present session.
I'resident McBrlde is assuming the same
attitude on all road bills, and will with
out doubt preent the passage of any
of them.
XOW UP TO GOVERNOR.
Bill Prohibiting Slot Mncuines
Through Both Honscs.
OLYMPIA, Wash., March 12. The Sen
ate, by an overwhelming vote, today
passed the Rines bill, which prohibits the
operation of nickel-in-the-slot machines
of any sort or description In the state.
The bill has passed the House, and all
it lacks now to make it a law is the sig
nature of the Governor. The bill car
ries no emergency clause, and will noUgo
into effect for 90 days. When the bill
came up in the Senate this afternoon,
Hemrlch of King sought to so amend it
as to exempt merchandise machines from
its provisions. He failed to get a sec
ond to his amendment, and the roll call
was ordered without a speech being
made on either side. The bill passed by
the following vote:
Ayes Andrews, Angle, Baumelster.
Clapp, Cornwell, Crow of Spokane, Crow
of Whitman, Garber. Hall, Hallett, Ham
mer, Land, Lecrone, Mantz, Megler,

field, Sharp, Smith. Stewart, Sumner,
Tolman. Wclty, Wilshire 27.
Noes Biggs and Hemrlch 2.
Absent Baker, Davis, Hamilton, Reser,
Warburton 5.
Senator Schofield announced that he
voted aye because of the absence of Sen
ator Baker of Klickitat, who desired to
vote for the bill, but could not be pres
ent. Otherwise Senator Schofield would
have voted against the bllL
GUARD AGAIXST BUBONIC PLAGUE.
State Health Officer Asks for an Ap
propriation. OLYMPIA, Wash., March 12. Governor
Rogers today sent a message to both
houses of the Legislature, accompanied
by a letter from the president of the
State Board of Health, relative to the
bubonic plague. An effort will be made to
act on the suggestions given. The letter
referred to from Dr. Yocum, president of
the State oard of Health, in part is:
"I beg to call your attention to the
special dispatch concerning bubonic
plague, sent from Washington, D. C.
Should this quarantine of California bo
established, a considerable portion of the
commerce of that port must come to Pu
get Sound, and we ought to be ready to
prevent the introduction of this disease
Into our state. I should suggest that a
contingency appropriation of dol
lars be made at this session of the Legis
lature, to be drawn on and used by the
State Board of Health, by the consent of
the Governor, to meet any such contin
gency, should it arise. I would call your
attention to House bill 477, Introduced
by Lorenzo Dow Suoh an act is urgently
needed. The present law is so Indefinite
that the State Board of Health has prac
tically no real power or usefulness."

'The anti-saloon league was organized
here last evening under the direction of
Rev. E. S. Chapman, state manager of
the league for California.
The territorial grand jury filed its re
port today. The most Interesting feature
of the document Is the recommendation
that the pictures of political offenders
against the defunct republic of Hawaii
be removed from the "rogues gallery" at
the territorial prison. This is a matter
which affects many prominent citizens
here, as scores of them were arrested at
various times during the revolutions
against the Government and charged with
aiding the natives.
The Legislature resumed Its sessions to
day, after the tour of Investigation to the
leper settlement. The afternoon session
of the Senate ended in an animated dis
pute between Dr. N. Russell, the speaker,
and Cecil Brown, a Senator from Honolu
lu. Brown had called for a vote on a mo
tion to table a resolution asking Congress
to grant Hawaii statehood. When the
vote was announced it was found that the
speaker had voted in favor of the motion,
thus defeating the resolution asking for
statehood. Brown accused the speaker of
actlnp In an arbitrary manner by voting.
Brown was called to order and refused to
surrender the floor and the sergeant-at-arms
was ordered to arrest him. The men
would have come to blows had not a mo
tion to adjourn prevailed.
EMIGRATING TO HAWAII.
Large Number of Natives Leaving:
Porto Rico.
SAN JUAN. Porto Rico, March 5.
The surplus labor population of Porto
Rico Is being gradually but permanently
lessened by emigration. During the past
few months over 1S0O men, women and
children have left for Hawaii, and If the
Hawaiian Sugar Planters Association
does not cancel Its order with the local
agent, and If too much opposition Is not
raised here, about 18,000 more will be
sent to the far-away Islands. The local
agents have been considerably handi
capped by the publication of numerous
scare stories in the local Spanish papers.
These stories are written and circulated
by a certain element by means of news
papers and handbills, which have been dis
tributed in the districts from which the
emigrants are being recruited, the lgnor
nnt wrmlri-h omlemnt' are led to belleVS
that they are being sold Into slavery and
that their masters will subject them to all
manner of torture and cruelty on the su
gar plantations of Hawaii.
The last lot of Hawaiian-bound emi
grants sailed from Ponce on the 3d. The
ship intended to sail on the 2d, but It was
held up by the authorities on complaints
from parents that their children were be
ing taken away without their consent.
Dozens of women also complained that
their husbands were deserting them. The
ship was detained over night, and several
of those Intending to sail on her were
taken off by the police.
An unsuccessful attempt was made
March 2 to ship 400 emigrants to the
Cuban Iron mines from Ponce. The
steamer sent here by the Spanish-American
Iron Company was an English freight
er and not licensed to carry passengers.
The boat was held up by the customs
authorities, and the man In charge of
the expedition dismissed the emigrants,
saying that he was an Irresponsible em
ploye and not obliged to pay the four
days' pay which the men claimed was
due them while waiting to sail. He had
entered into no contract with the people
beyond a verbal promise to give mem
work at $1 a day. The disappointed men
naturally felt that they had a grievance
and a riot was imminent, when they were
quieted by the police. Seventy-five of
them sailed the next morning on the
Calif ornlan for New Orleans,, en route to
Hawaii.
Other emigration agents are soliciting
men to go to Ecuador to work on, the Mc
Donald railroad contract. The Jamaican
laborers which that company has taken
to South America are reported to be
troublesome and unsatisfactory, and the
contracting company Is anxious to en
gage 2000 Porto Rlcans. Small parties of
50 or 100 are continually leaving the Island.
The emigration of her laboring class
may be considered a blessing for Porto
Rico. The Island is exceedingly over
populated, and there Is no work to be of
fered to the vast army of unemployed.
Those who are left behind have more op
portunity to better themselves, and those
who emigrate, especially those who go to
Hawaii, will be given permanent employ
ment. They find the climate and style of
labor the same as that which they are
accustomed to here, and they are given
free fuel, rent and schooling for their
children.
Sent an Infernal Machine.
NEW YORK, March 12. According to
a special to the' World, from Philadelphia,
Frederick Miller, a young man, is under

obtain royal clemency for Florence May
brick. The Baroness de Rouques, Mrs.
Maybrick's mother, has been in London,
during the last Teek In consultation with
her legal advisers, for the purpose of
framing a petition to the crown for her
daughter's pardon. It has been Intimated
that the prcspect of bringing about such
a denouement has not diminished oing
to the accession of His Majesty, Edward
VII, but quite the contrary.
Another new departure In the latest ef
fort to secure the liberty of Mrs. May
brick is the discountenancing of news
paper advocacy. Mr. Levy said:
"While ve recognize and are grateful
for the spirit actuating such support to
our appeal, we cannot help feeling that its
very earnestness may somehow tend to
defeat Its own object. Under the circum
stances we have deemed It best merely to
pleade the unfortunate lady's case as one
meriting royal clemency, and on this
ground to petition the King to grant her
pardon."
Mr. Levy's appeal will probably be
handed to the Home Secretary, Mr. Rit
chie, this week.
A famous Ink long used in Germany was
made of a combination of chromate of
potash with a solution of logwood in the
proportions of one part of the former to
