MONEY WON BY PORrLAND

BASEBALL SEKIES DECIDED BY
FIRST OF DOUBLE-HEADER.
By Hits and Errors Home Xine Ran
Xjx Six. Runs Tacoma Had lo Be
Content With. One.
B ortland signalized its mastery over
the? Tigers yesterday in a roost convinc
ing way. Carter was driven from the
box: by the volley of hits that assailed
him in the first same of the double
heade r. Errors enough were made by Mc
Closkt y's men to lose them the game sev
eral ti mes over, and finally the White
Stockin Si took the unequal contest by a
score a ' 6 to 1. with an inning to spare.
That l aade the best three games out of
live, ant I their hearts were happy, for
they had a sure grip on that 5200, which
the Dudas had fondiy hoped .would Vest
In their pi ickets. Moreover, it showed the
visitors th at the champions are the cham
pions, and now Sir. McCloskey may retire
to the bacit seat and think it over for a
time. Then j was a sJod crowd at the
game, and 'they wanted to see the locals
win. It would be all welj enough as far
as exctemen t goes for Tacoma to even up
and let the last game decide the matter,
but the fane wanted to be on the safe
side. -
It was in the sixth that the visitors saw
their Walttrloo. Up to that time the
score was 5 to 1, against them, but the
finishing touches came at this time. Weed
led off with a. ball that was too hot for
Mclntyre tx handle. MJahaffey followed
with an infield, hit which landed him safe
and advanced Wteed. Brown used the
same tactics and beat the ball to first.
'This filled the bases. Engel was up and
something was expected, but ho hit to
McCarthy, and Weed was out at the
home plate. The bases were full again,
and Muller with a long drive into cen
ter field cleared the bags, scored threB
men and found himself on third. And,
tough it was, "he never reached home
himself. That save the White Stockings
a lead of five runs, and their enemies
never recovered, from, the shock.
At the ouiset everything looked favor
able for the Dudes. McCarthy struck
out. but Mundock was given his base on
balls and reached second on Anderson's
misjudgment while the samB play meant
a base for the baism-an. Flannery. lynch
sent the ball into .Anderson's hands, but
he must have been rattled, for he let
it slide through, his fingers, and as he did
so McCarthy scored.
It was in the third that two runs were
brought in for .Portland and the money
looked rather large. On two errors in
rapid succession, due to McCarthy and
Mclntyre, Brown and Engel found them
selves on third and second base. Muller
hit toward second and Stulz touched the
ball as it whizzed by him, and Brown
scored. Deisel flew out to Flannery, and
Engel cftme across the home plate on the
throw-in. Muller was caught out trying
to steal second, and Anderson was put
out in a similar manner after hitting into
xipht field.
Vicneux made the round in the fourth
on McCloskey's error, a "stolen base and
Brown's single.
Engel was in the best of trim, and only
four hits were all the Dudes were good
for. They tried hard, but he puzzled
them and when they did hit, It was only
to have the ball drop into the hands of
some player and a put-out usnally fol
lowed. McCloskey changed his men. around in
the last of the seventh. Carter went into
right field. McCarthy tried his hand at
pitching. Lynch was in right field, Flan
nery at third and Mclntyre at short. It
was too late to repair the damage, but
McCarthy made a creditable showing in
the box.

Second Game an Exhibition.
The second game was an exhibition.
With nothing at stake, Tinker demanded
and was given permission to pitch, whllB
Mike Lynch came in from right field to
do the same duty for Tacoma. Carter
held down the initial bag as did McCarthy
for a time, but. there were so many
changes throughjoujthe game that It
would be hard to follow them.
Joe was touched up for three .hits, and
four runs were scored on him in the
first inning. McCarthy was struck out,
and great applause followed. Murdock
did not propose to be Jobbed with by a
third baseman, and just to show there
were no hard feelings, got a three
bagger. Flannery hit to Glendon, but the
latter fumbled the ball, and Murdock
was home and Flannery on first. Lynch
hit into Muller's territory, advancing
Flannery two bases. After fielding Mcln
tyre's smash. Anderson threw wild to the
home plate, and Flannery scored. Lynch
end Mclntyre scored on Stulz's hit to
left.
The best Portland could do was to make
two runs on one base on balls and four
hits in the first. Lynch kept up a con
tinual chatter in. the box, and thus
amused the spectators. The game was
called after the first of the seventh, with
Tacoma in the lead, 4 to 2.
In the ball-throwing contest, Mclntyre
won from Tinker, the distance being "lis
yards. Murdock won the speed contest
for the fastest base-runner, going around
the circuit in 14 second. Glendon's time
was 15?i seconds and Tinker made it in
1G&.

BOXERS IX FIXE TRIM.
Tracey Has inlt Hard Boxing:, While
Smith Still Spars Daily.
The boxers preparing for their contest
Friday nigh' spent a quiet day yester
day. Tom Tracey has reached that point
in his training where he has ceased ac
tive boxing, having done his last prelim
inary work Saturday with his side part
ner. Tommy Riley.
When he was 6een in his last hard
work Saturday afternoon, Tracey was in
the pink of condition, and bis trainers
will keep him -at light work, the rest of
the week. He went hard and fast with
his boxing partner, and displays all of" his
quickness and aggressiveness that has
won him many ring victories. Tracey
takes road work every morning, going
out on the Linnton road accompanied
with his fleet gray hound, Lady, prize
winner in the last deg show. Tracey
wears heavy clothes and heavy walking
shoes, a'nd covers his 10 miles in fast
time. After a rub, and lunch, he goes
Into the gymnasium for handball, a
wrestle with Riley, work with the medi
cine ball, and some brisk bag-punching.
Smith Js. still doing hard boxing. The
hig fellow needs plenty of work to keep
in trim, and his boxing partner, Charles
Jost. comes in for some hard knocks
in the afternoons. "Mysterious Billy"
varies his afternoon gymnasium work, by
occasionally taking road work in the
afternoon as well as in the morning.
Indications point to the largest crowd
of spectators that has ever attended a
contest in Portland. Parties are coming
from all over the Northwest, and every
city and town will be represented with
visitors. A delegation from Seattle,
headed by Tom Clancey, is coming.
Straight Marquis of Queensberry rules
have been adopted. The referee will be
announced this week.
The odds are 10 to 9 In favor of Smith.
Local men have expressed the follow
ing opinions as to the merits of the two
contestants: . ,"
Anthony Green, a well-known follower
of the boxers, has this fo say of the
contest: "It will undoubtedly be the
greatest ever seen in the Northwest. I
can see no reason why odds should be
given on either. The one who Is declared
by the referee to be the winner will cer
tainly know he has had an opponent."
Carl Jones says Tracey will win the
contest, he being the cleverest man.
Fred Kelly has a bunch of money to
back his opinion that Smith will win. In
his opinion, the contest will last between
10 to 15 rounds.
Bob Patterson says: "Those who think
Smith a better man than Tracey are away
off. "Tom is by long odds the cleverest
of welterweights, and can give and take
as much as any of them. The contest
will bB very even."
Louis Rail Bested "Kid" Smith.
OREGON CITY, Oct. 20. Louis Rail
bested "Kid" Smith, of Ashland, in a 10
Tound go In this city last night, obtain
ing the decision in the fifth round. Smith
was not in condition, and went into the
fight against the advice of his physician,
but. notwithstanding this, he put up a
game scrap. Jack Day, of Portland, ref
ereed the mill, which was witnessed by a
crowd of sports from this city and Port
land. A preliminary bout of five rounds
was fought between Young Hunt, of
Portland, and George Rail, of this city, in
which the latter had decidedly the best of
it. Rail had his man groggy In the
fourth round, but did not follow up his
advantage.

eventually winning by 3 laps, or within
a furlong of a mile. Nelson's time for
the distance was 24:55 2-5.

PREPARING FOR GAMES
MULTNOMAH FOOTBALL ELEVEN IS
HARD CAT "WORK.
Gridiron Candidates Number Many
Nevr Men of Eastern Experience
Woodruff Is Coaching.
Football Is in the crisp Autumn air,
and the Multnomah eleven is responding
to the stimulus by turning out to prac
tice readily to the call of Captain Kerri
gan. Yesterday morning the men were
out for signal practice, and drill in team
work under the direction of Wylle G.
Woodruff, the celebrated Pennsylvania
player and ex-Kansas coach, who is in
charge of the work during the absence
of George McMillan, who Is devoting a
couple of weeks to the Stanford eleven.
The men out yesterday were contesting
for positions as follows:
Centers, Holston and Keller; guards,
Woodruff and Ross; tackles, Pratt, Hen
nessey and Kirkley; end, Montague,
Bailey, Neal and Dowllng; backs, Downs,
Harkins. Manley. White, Dowllng, Doiph.
Bailey, Kerrigan and Harkins. All the
men are given a try at the positipns for
which they are contesting, and there ia
a fair field and no favor from the coach
or captain.
The team will be made up mostly from
new men. This will undoubtedly make
some difference In the strength of the
eleven, as a new eleven can hardly hope
to equal the excellent team work of the
teams of past years. Only five of the old
men are left, but with these as a nucle
us, and some valuable new material, hard
work should turn out a fast lot of players,
especially if the eleven are put through
hard preliminary practice and training.
The .new men, many of them, are the
product of the second eleven that the
club has encouraged in the past years.
This is the first time that this material
has become available or valuable to the
club. The youngsters are playing with
snap and dash, and they may surprise the
spectators this season with snappy foot
ball that will call to mind the quick
work of college elevens. Harkins, Kirk
ley, Dowllng and Bailey are the most
prominent of the younger element
The team has hardly yet settled down
to a consistent style of playing. There
are two systems on the field, that of
Woodruff, which comes from Pennsyl
vania, and McMillan's, which is the prod
uct of his experience In the Middle West
and the coaching he obtained from Wal
ter Camp and Bliss, of Yale. In ad
dition to this there are players from the
Middle States and the far East, who
have to be trained to one system. Van
Voorhies comes from Drake University,
while Dolph plays the game he learned
at Williams. After all football is foot
ball the world over, and there should be
no difficulty in harmonizing the play of
the men Into a consistent style. New
formations villi be the result, and the
captain and coaches will undoubtedly use
the points in each system that seem the
most effective. With heavy line men and
quick backs, the Pennsylvania guards
back play is effective against weaker
teams.
Among the players Kirkley Is showing
up well at tackle, better, in fact, than ever
before. Montague, the star end on the
eleven for several seasons, is playing his
old game, and could be shifted to half if
that were deemed necessary. Pratt Is In
good shape, and there is no question that
he Is one of the best and most experi
enced tackles on the Coast Van Voorhies
is showing up well, considering, as he
says, the fact that he is playing under a
different system than that to which he
has grown accustomed.
Bailey Is an active candidate for end,
but has not yet been given a chance in a
hard game. Holston at center is one of
the most accurate passers. He holds
well in his position and works like a
Trojan. Ross at guard is young, but
capable of good work. He is a coming
player in that position. Is only 17 years
old, and weighs 19S pounds stripped.
Harkins is showing up well at half, but
lacks practice. White, from Kansas, Is
showing up well for a "new man, and Is
capable of better work.
Dolph at fullback Is one of the most
valuable men on the team. When he gets
to work in good form with the backs, he
will be one of the most effective players
the club has ever had. Since Joe Smith's
time the fullback position has been a
weak point in the club elevens. Dolph
plays with the dash that characterizes
all college-trained players, and his. line
bucking and punting are excellent.
Manv of the other new players have
not yet been tried our. Among them are
Manley. Dowllng, Bailey and Harkins.
Myers and Downs, the veteran halves,
have not yet been practicing steadily, but
their abilities are known to all follow
ers of football In the Northwest. They
will be out in suits later. Captain Ker
rigan Is filling his old position at quar
ter, but will train up a substitute, so as
to be ready, in case he meets an unfor
tunate Injury, as he did last season.
Woodruff Is playing and coaching from
every position. He Is readily falling Into
the style of play to which the men have
been accustomed, and will soon be able
to play In his old-time form. He has
not yet trained down to good physical
condition.
The first Portland game will be played
next Saturday with the Pacific University
eleven, a preparatory match to the con
test with the University of Oregon on the
Eugene campus, November 2.
ACCEPTS ARNELDO'S CHALLENGE.
Champion Swordsman McGulre Will
ing to Meet All Comers.
Major J. A, McGulre, champion swords
man of the world, last evening announced
that he would accept the challenge of
Jules Arneldo. printed in yesterday's Ore
gonlan, subject to the following condi
tions: The match to be fought ten rounds with
foils, and then to a finish with broad
swords, the winner to take all the gate
receipts. He announced that he would
make a side bet of $250, which was in the
hands of Pat Douglas, of Portland, and
that this would be placed in the hands
of the sporting editor of The Oregonian,
to be covered by Arneldo.
Major McGulre has an interesting mili
tary record. He gained the Victoria cross
for bravery on the field when In the Brit
ish Army, when under the command of
Sir Frederick Douglas, In '78, '79 and '80.
He was in the Afghanistan campaigns,
was taken prisoner the same day that
Lieutenant McLean was killed. Major Mc
Gulre blew up his prison, Bala Hlsar,
made his escape and returned to the
British lines, being wounded three times
by the fire from his own outposts.
He defeated Duncan C. Ross for the
championship of the world, October 30,
1S97, in a broadsword contest, winning in
the sixth round, receiving only one blow
In the1 entire contest. He next met Charles
C Walsh, ex-champion of the -world, from
Boston, defeating him in one round of
two minutes. He vanquished the Spanish
champion, Professor F. X. Noriega, in 05
rounds, and the English champion, Bryan
C. Linn, in 27 seconds. In all he has
fought 65 contests without being defeated.
He was with the British Army under Sir
Garnet Wolseley in the march 'up the Nile
to the relief of Gordon; was with Sir
Frederick Roberts in the Afghanistan
campaigns; with Pasha Baker in the
Turkish Army, and lately was in com
mand of a signal corps in the American
Army at Santiago. At present he Is trav
eling with the "Under Two Flags" Com
pany, playing the part of Blackhawk. He
Issues a general challenge to any man in
the state or in the Vancouver Barracks
to fight on foot or horseback, and with
foils or broadswords.

ROYAL TITLES.
F,or Hlghfalntin Wording That of
Burma's Ex-King Takes the Prize.
Tit-Bits.
The change now being made in the
King's title so that it may comprehend
the whole of the British Empire, and not
merely, as before. Great Britain and Ire
land and India, ' marks an Interesting
stage in the slow and gradual . develop
ment of the royal address which has
taken place since the time of Edward the
Elder, son and successor of Alfred the
Great who was the first sovereign of this
realm to call himself King of the English,
and whose present-day successor and
namesake is to be described in the sonor
ous and swelling phrase: "Edward VII,
by the grace of God, of the United King
dom of Great Britain and Ireland, and of
all the British dominions beyond the sea,
King, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of
India."
The Edwards of our history have been
especially associated with alterations In
the royal style, for It was Edward III
who Incorporated with his title that of
King of France, and quartered the fleur-de-lys
on his coat-of-armsf this practice
being maintained until the reign of George
III, when on the parliamentary union of
Great Britain and Ireland, a century
ago, the claim was finally abandoned.
It is worthy of note that the compli
mentary distinction of Defender of the
Faith, bestowed by the Pope on Henry
VIII, for his tract on the seven sacra
ments in opposition to Martin Luther,
has since been so prized by this country
that the 2-shilllng piece of 1849 had to be
recoined because of the omission of the
letters F. D. (Fidel Defensor), the coin
being now a great rarity and known
among collectors as the "godless florin."
Like the English style of Defender of
the Faith, the French and Spanish Kings
also obtained religious titles as a reward
for services to the church of Rome. The
King of France was thus the Most Chris
tian King, as well as the Eldest Son of
the Church, while the Spanish monarch
had the honor of being known as the
Most Catholic King. Similarly the ruler
of the Aubtrian Empire is addressed as
His Apostolic Majesty, his full address
being His Imperial and Royal Apostolic
Majesty. Emperor of Austria, King of
Bohemia and Apostolic King of Hungary.
Among Mdhammedan Princes religious
titles are also greatly venerated. The Sul
tan of Turkey, as the succtssor of the
Caliphs, affects the style of Commander
of the Faithful; the Sultan of Morocco
is -the Emlr-al-Mumenin, otherwise Prince
of True Believers, and the Ameer of
Afghanistan terms himself Zia-ul-Mita-tlwadin
(Light of Union and Religion).
But these are modest in comparleon
with the Emperor of China, whose lofty
title is the Son of Heaven. The claim to
be King of Kings is made by both the
Shah of Persia (Shah-in-Shah) and the
Emperor Menellk of Abyssinia (Negus
Negust).
The Emperor of Japan has a very
curious and unique appellation, "The
Mikado, or Honorable Gate," and a state
ly and splendid title is that of the Great
White Czart who is Emperor of All the
Russias.
The former Portuguese Emperors of
Brazil were styled Constitutional Em
peror and Portuguese Defender. But the
most sublime and high-sounding title of
any ruler must surely be the following,
which was possessed by the ex-King
Theebaw, of Burma, whom we deposed
in 18S5: His Most Glorious Excellent
Majesty, Lord of the Ishaddan, King of
Elephants, Master of Many White Ele
phants, Lord of the Mines of Gold and
Sliver, Rubies, Amber and the Noble Ser
pentine, Sovereign of the Empires of
Thunagaranta and Tampadlpa and other
great Empires and Countries, and of all
the Umbrella-Wearing Chiefs, the Sup
porter of Religion, the Sun-Descended
Monarch, Arbiter of Life and Greatness,
Righteous King, King of Kings and Pos
sessor or Boundless Dominions and Su
preme Wisdom.

A representative of the Utah Construc
tion Company was at Weiser last week
for the purpose of giving out sub-contracts
for widening the "roadbed of the
Oregon Short Line. It Is proposed to
make the grade 20 feet wide at the top,
leaving six feet clear each side of the
ties. The work between Reverse and
Huntington will be completed this Fall
If possible. The first attention is directed
to that lying west of Nampa. Several
sub-contractors are already at work.
Manager Shelby, of the Pacific & Idaho
Northern Railroad, has received a letter
from Chief Clerk Whitney, of Portland,
in which the latter states he has recom
mended that a six times a week star
route be established between Council, on
the Pacific & Idaho Northern Railroad,
and Stltes, on the. Union Pacific railroad,
and thinks that bids will be asked in
the new proposals for star route service,
which will be let the coming year. Pe
titions have been circulated throughout
the territory to be covered by the pro
posed routes, and are signed with eager

At a meeting of the Payette Council
last week, a petition was presented asking
for a 20-foot right-of-way along Payette
avenue in the south part of town and
Front street, to be used for a ditch.
This ditch is to be commenced at a cer
tain point on Payette River and pass
through town toward Duncan's ferry on
Snake River, where a flume will be built
and the water conveyed across. Part of
the water will be used on the low land
near Dead Ox flat, and then to run tur
bine wheels, which will pump water from
the old Snake River to irrigate the large
body of fine land known as Dead Ox flat.
William Noot is the promoter, with
backing by a company willing to furnish
5150,000. This ditch will furnish power
for a flour mill which is to be built at
the west end of Ada avenue, between
Front street and the railroad.
First City President.
Review of Reviews.
It should not escape attention that of
all the long line of illustrious Presidents,
Theodore Roosevelt is the first to be born
and brought up In a great city. Other
Presidents have passed over to cities,
and so have become more or less Iden
tified with city conditions and city life,
notably Presidents Arthur, Cleveland and
Harrison; but Mr. Roosevelt Is the first
President to represent and to reflect in
his very fibre the cosmopolitanism of the
great modern city, and that city New

A STORY OF WEBSTER
A TALE OF" TACT IN VDIPLO
MACY. The Way 1 4 in Which Webster
Evaded a British
Minister.
London journals, commenting on thei
Nicaragua Canal treaty, which is to be
an evidence of the British desire to have
no quarrels with the Republic, go so far
as to say that Lord Lan3downe has
yielded everything and Lord Salisbury
has turned his back upon every tradi
tion of British diplomacy. As a rule,
Continental diplomats look carefully to
their signatures when the British jour
nals denounce treaties, for It is their
experience that with the "heaviest ar
tillery behind then British statesmen
are accustomed to stating to other diplo
mats what their government wants and
refusing to take anything less." One
humorous exception to this, however,
says a writer in the Philadelphia Bulle
tin, is to the credit of Daniel Webster,
Sir Henry Bulwer, afterward Lord Dall
lng, brother of Bulwer Lytton and uncle
to Owen Meredith, who died British Am
basador at Paris on his return from the
Vlceroyalty of India, was the British
Minister to this Republic; he had nego
tiated the "Clayton-Bulwer" treaty with
Webster's predecessor, but It turned out
that when the document reached London
the Cabinet disapproved a clause which
stood in the way of a meditated seizure
on the Central American Isthmus. Lord
Dalling and Webster had been very warm
friends while the latter was in the United
States Senate, and so soon as he assumed
the seals of the State Department Lord
Dalling informed him that he wanted
to have a little talk about the treaty in
order to have a slight change in the
wording.
Webster was the ideal of the ancient
suavity associated with the dignitaries
of administration. He urbanely assented
to the British Minister's suggestion, prom
ising that the first moment's leisure he
could snatch from his office routine he
would give to the treaty. Now, Webster
was one of the phenomenally Informed
men of his time, besides being an original
mind In jurisprudence. He had no , wish
to touch the Clayton-Bulwer treaty,
which he apparently held to be of Itself
an undue concession to British inter
ference In the affairs of this continent,
in which she had no sort of business.
But at the same time he was extremely
desirous of preserving the amenities,
even cordial friendship, with Lord Dall
ing, who was one of the ablest and most
delightful minds In the British service.
With the greatest good humor Webster
stayed Lord Dalling's Insinuating hints
and suggestions off from week to week
and month to month, until June, 1S51,
when the diplomatic corps began to
break up for their Summer outings, far
from the torrid heats of the Potomac
marshes. Webster himself had been se
duced by the gorgeous tales of trout fish
ing at Capon Springs, In Virginia. He
made up his mind to go thither, and
sending for his secretary, Charles Lan
man, he said: "I wish you to pilot me
the way to Virginia Valley, and I also
wish you to see Sir Henry Bulwer (it
was some years later that Sir Henry
was created Baron Dalling), hand him
this note of invitation to Capon; tell him
not only all about the beautiful scenery
and all that, "but also that there Is no
better spot anywhere to talk about the
treaties of Central America,"
Lanman conveyed the insidious bait to
the guileless Briton and remarked with
complacency that Bulwer's eyes gleamed
with satisfaction. He would have the
Secretary of State all to himself, and
that- was all he asked to overreach him
in the negotiation. Webster In his day
was adored even, by political opponents,
and when it was known that he was
journeying through the Old Dominion the
natives flocked from far and near to
make him speak. Sir Henry, with an
elaborate suite of secretaries, followed in
the statesman's train and never had a
chance for a word from the moment
he left Washington until Capon was at
tained. There the chances grew even
slighter. Webster was a persistent fish
erman and loved the company of the
native amateurs, who knew all the se
cluded pools wh'ere the trout swarmed.
The day, tpo, was a constant succession
of levees, for the Virginians came from
far and near, inviting the great man
to favor their localities with a visit. Of
a morning Webster seated on the piazza
of the hotel held many a long and de
lightful chat with "Majesty's" plenipo
tentiary but the listening Virginians and
the Interruptions of the place forbade
the introduction of such a delicate mat
ter as the rewriting of a few phrases
which would give the British Cabinet all
that had been overlooked in the original
treaty. .Ten days passed in Innocent
gaiety of the sort the "great expounder"
loved, and still the perplexed Minister
hadn't been able to whisper "treaty."
Webster was full of anecdote, he would
ask Sir Henry his opinion on books, men,
pictures, inveigle him Into reminiscences
of his European Ministers and kept the
poor man so entangled in verifying names
and dates that there was no time for the
vital topic for which he had gone the
long journey in the, heat of Summer.
At last Sir Henry determined to break
the silent bonds of good fellowship and
sent" 'for Webster's secretary, Lanman.
That demure diplomat described the
scene many a time afterward to roarincr
groups in European legations when the
-victim, as Lord Dalling, was filling a
conspicuous place elsewhere In his coun
try's service. "I hastened." said Lan
man, "to his (Sir Henry Bulwer's) apart
ments, which were at the other end of
the hotel, and, on being ushered Into the
office of the temporary legation, I en
countered His Excellency, clad in only
two articles of apparel, both of which
were white and very thin; he was seated
on the floor leaning against the wall and
fanning himself with true Oriental Indo
lence. There were three other gentlemen
in the room, all secretaries, and in cos
tumes like their chief's doing their best
to keep cool, for the day was ferociously
hot." The sweltering Minister then re
called to Lanman the kind Intimation that
Webster had charged him (Lanman) to
convey when he (Bulwer) was invited to
Capon; that 10 days "had passed, and Mr.
Webster had never intimated a desire to
expedite the business weighing so heav
ily on the Minister's conscience. He
would, he declared, take it as a very par
ticular favor if Mr. Lanman would draw
Mr. Webster'3 attention to the situation,
so that a final settlement might be
reached. Lanman promised Instant com
pliance, and, going straight to the Secre
tary of State, laid the request before him.
Webster smffed his very largest and
blandest smile, saying, lightly: "We are
promised the very finest trout haul to
morrow, and then, perhaps, we can find
time for that Nicaraguan matter." Sir
Henry soon realized that Webster was
determined to have no more to do with
the treaty, and for many a day bore
good-naturedly the banter about the
"trout and the treaty." , '
He bore the great statesman no ill-will,
nor could he very well, for a few years
afterward, apropos the Alabama claims,
he wrote from Rhoda, on the Nile: "I
regret indeed not being In England. Of
course the time to settle the question (the
Alabama claims) was when every sensi
ble man In the United States was dis
gusted with Sumner's speech. By allow
ing It to lie on the public mind, It sank
into It andhas become a National theory.
How, when our only inducement to make
a treaty was to set this claim for In
direct damages at rest, we could frame
one which opened it. is to me miraculous.
How they could Introduce Into' such a
docunjent the term 'growing out of,'
which would hardly occur to any one
but a market gardener, is also a marvel.
As to the confidence displayed to the
Republican statesmen, when I had to
make a treaty with them. I took the
trouble of going over all their own
treaties and in important passages I only
used such words as they had used, in the
sense in which they had used them.
Then when they began their usual dis
putes about interpretation, I quoted their
own authority. All their own newspapers
acknowledged that I had outwitted Clay
ton, who died, they said, in consequence."
So that if the pending treaty Is all that
the London journals represent, the diplo
matists of the Republic will only be mak
ing right the "outwitting" that Lord
Dalling played upon the credulous Clay
ton 50 years ago. Lord Dalling died In
1&52, but before laying down his pen. he
paid a gentlemanly tribute to Webster.
Writing to George TIcknor Curtis, en
the death of Webster, Lord Dalling bore
this witness: "I often say that I have
met only two men in the course of my
public career whose opinion in conducing
business with them invariably struck me
as wise and just. Mr. Webster was one
of those men; his calm and comprehen
sive wisdom rose above all controversy,
conciliating and convincing. In treating
with him concerning the relations be
tween our two countries, I always felt
that the honor of mine was safe in his
hands and I venture to think that he was
equally sure of my respect for himself
and for the powerful state which he
represented." Lord Dalling's literary
style was a good deal better than his
diplomatic utterances; though he never
took the rank of his younger brother.
Earl Lytton. the novelist, nor his nephew.
Owen Meredith, who died Lord Lytton.
He wrote seven I volumes which enjoyed
distinction In their day a history or
rather sketches of Greece and another, a
series of essays on France, which are
often quoted today. Very few, however,
identify him with the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty, in which he so naively boasts that
he drew the wool over the poor Secretary
Clayton's eyes.
Washington Notes.
It is reported at Spokane that the North
ern Pacific Railroad is purchasing the
property which lies directly In front of
its depot, and wll transform It into a
park at its own expense and turn it
over to the city.
It is given out that a company is being
formed to operate an automobile line be
tween Whatcom and Lynden. It Is the in
tention of the men having the matter In
hand to purchase two automobiles, one
for passenger traffic and the other for
freight.
Within 90 days Edwin S. Isaacs will be
gin the construction of an electrical street
railway in the City of Walla Walla. Six
cars will be operated on four miles of
track, and the plan Is to give a 20-mln-uto
service to all the principal parts of
the city. Work Is to be prosecuted dur
ing the Winter months and not less than
$100,000 will be expended.
Spokane has the opportunity of securing
a strip of land 400 feet wide by one and
one-half miles long on both sides of the
river from Mission-avenue bridge to the
east city limits as a gift for a park. The
city will probably accept the gift, as the
Mayor has already consented, and the
sanction of the Council is only needed to
put the tract of land into the hands of
the city.
Orders have been issued doing away with
the pouches heretofore in use on the Che
halis & South Bend branch, and substi
tuting tie sacks in place of them. As the
amount of mail for the various stations
is small, and the weight of the pouches
runs from five to 11 pounds, the substitu
tion of a light sack for a pouch will ef
fect a marked saving in weight.
The agitation for the sale of the What
com Courthouse to the City of Whatcom
for use as a High School building is re
vived. It is the purpose of the people
who favor the move to have a new Court
house built near the divisional line of
Whatcom and Falrhaven, hoping thereby
to hasten the consolidation of the two
cities. The present location of the Court
house has always been a stone In the path
of consolidation.
An Amateur Brats Band.
Good Words. J
A well-known band was practically two
men short It had its full strength nu
merically; but two of the regular mem
bers had not been able to come, and In
their stead had been pressed a couple of
"followers," who (In the vernacular)
"could not play for nuts." Effectually
to prevent their getting out a single
sound, the conductor had jammed a cork
into their instruments, or rather the In
struments they carried, so that they
were players and yet not player; they
counted as two, but otherwise they were
a source of weakness rather than of
strength. Handicapped though the band
thus was, however, it succeeded In carry
ing off the first prize.
The Addicks Gang In Delnivnre.

The plain indication that President
Roosevelt Is not only not in sympathy
with the Addicks Republicans, but Is dis
tinctly opposed to them, Is a great en
couragement to honest politics In Dela
ware. Taken in connection with the at
titude of President McKInley, it is proof
positive that the methods and policies
of Addicks Republicans so long a dis
grace to Delaware politics will not be
endorsed by the- President of the United
States, even though the electoral vote
of the state should be Involved thereby.
biES ALL DISEASES BE H
"It Is a crime to experiment with tho health of the people." says Dr. J.
Henri Kessler, manager of the Old St. Louis Dispensary at Portland. "If
T did not know positively and abso lutely that my new home treatment
will cure all diseases of men, even when all other methods of treatment
fail, I would consider I was committing a crime to make such a statement
to the public. Nothing is so precious to a man as his health nothing so
horrible as an Insane Asylum or the grave. Little ills, if not promptly
cured, often result In obstinate chronic diseases. I know that my new dis
covery is the most marvelous -treatment ever known, and I Intend to give
its benefit to the world. I intend that every man, woman and child who
comes for treatment shall have it I propose to tell the sick, absolutely
free of charge, if they may be restored to perfect health. I would rather
be a benefactor to the sick man than to have the wealth of Croseus."
The above are remarkable words; but those who know Dr. Kessler, and
have tried hla treatment can vouch for their absolute truthfulness.
He restores the wasted power of sexual manhood.
He also cures to stay cured VARICOCELE. STRICTURE, SYPHILTIC

written by the woman, which told of her
reason for the act. She said: '
"To whom it may concern: I did It be
cause I loved him better than anything
on earth, and he loved me, and we could
not be separated. Good-bye.
"CHARLOTTE."
The note, supplemented with a state
ment made by Dr. Burnett, tell3 of the
tragedy enacted by the two lovers. Ac
cording to the dentist's story, he met
Mr3. Nlcnol while yet a young girl, in
Nashville, Tenn., and fell In love with
her. Burnett moved to Chicago and
married several years afterwards.
"Our love was still strong for each,
other," said Burnett, "and she moved
to Chicago to be near me. We were to
gether nearly every day. There seemed,
however, to be a constant remorse on her
part on account of the dual life she was
leading. Saturday we went down, town to
gether, and after haIng sevtral drinks
she proposed suicide to me. and we went
to the Marlborough Hotel and she pro
duced a bottle of morphine she had hid
den In her dress. She again asked me to
die with her and I consented. Then she
swallowed nearly all tho contents of the
bottle and handed it to me. I drank what
was left, but, believing that I had not
taken enough to prove fatal. I tried to
end my life by sticking the hat pin
Into my neck. I saw this was also going
to be a failure, so I turned on all the
gas and lay down to die."
Burnett stated that his wife knew noth
ing of his attachment for Mrs. Nicoll.
