HE LEAVES PAUL FAR BEHIND IlKlit a Bitter One. and the Vote the LnrprcKt In the History of the City Convention Nominates Tomorrow. SEATTLE. "Wash.. Feb. 19. Unless something very unexpected happens. Mayor Thomas J. Humes will at Friday's convention of the Hepubllcan party of Se attle be selected to head tHe municipal ticket In the campagin about to be launched. His opponents concede his nomination, hands down. The party held Its primaries tonight, and from the per sonnel, of the delegates It Is safe to say the Mayor badly outstripped his only op ponent, Frank Paul,, the present City Con troller. There will be 354 delegates in the convention,' and of that number Mayor Humes will likely have more than 200. or a sufficient number to injure his nomina tion by a two-thirds vote. The fight has been a most bitter one, and the turnout at the primaries was one of the largest if not the largest In the history of the city. The Humes forces were splendidly organized under the leadership of George TJ. Piper. Richard Kinnear and ex-Sheriff Vandevanter handled the Paul fight. Humes captured many votes In the resi dence wards, where it was supposed he would be weak. He carried the First Ward solidly. TO PHOTECT SHIPBUILDERS. "Foster Trylnjr to Hend Oft Foreign Competition In Matter of Repairs. "WASHINGTON. Feb. 19. The ship building companies of Puget Sound are becoming much Interested In securing protection against British Columbian com petition in the matter of repairing ves sels. At the present time an American vessel can be taken to British Columbia, and, after undergoing complete repairs, be returned to the United States without paying any duties whatever, notwith standing the fact that machinery and boilers imported into this country from the Canadian side are subject to heavy duties. When the Topeka and other steamships having been wrecked in Alaskan waters were sent to British Co lumbia for repairs, the matter was agi tated, and subsequently Senator Foster Introduced a bill for the protection of the American shipbuilders. A great deal of opposition developed to the passage of this measure, and the committee on com merce finally refused to give it further consideration. In the meantime, however, the question of the Injustice that appears to be done the Puget Sound shipbuild ers is again being agitated, and Senator Foster Is gathering further data with a view to finally securing the desired ac tion. He does not Intend to let the mat ter rest, believing that the shipbuild ing concerns of Puget Sound are entitled to protection, and It is manifestly unfair and contrary to the spirit of the pro tective policy of the Republican party to Hrmlt boilers and machinery to be placed In American bottoms In foreign countries and shipped Into the United States free of duty.

BREAK JAIL AT ILWACO MEN HELD FOR LONG BEACH ROB SERIES STILL AT LARGE. Investigation Troves That "Wholesale HoiiHcbrcnUInpr at Reach Resort "Was Not Very Remunerative. ILWACO, Wash.. Feb. 19. Robert Evanson and John R. Rolands, the two sailors arrested on suspicion of breaking Into cottages at Long Beach, made their escape from the Jail about 1 o'clock this morning, and are still at large, with little prospect of their recapture. The men were seen early this morning passing through Chinook, but since then the offi cers have been unable to find any trace of them. They broke a hasp off the cell door and then pried open the front door of the jail. Officers here are confident of the guilt of Evanson and Rolands. They have been all along, and the jail-break strengthens their belief. It will be re membered that the men were bound over yesterday to the grand Jury. Evanson and Rolands had been making themselves at home in the cottage of Mr. Neibert. When the people went to make them move on, the men said they had gone MAYOR THOMAS J. REPLULICAN PRIMARIES MAKE THIRD Into the house to get out of the wet. They had barred the doors, however, and taken refuge upstairs, and a glance showed that the cottage had been thor oughly ransacked. Attorney Brumbach, of this city, has made an Investigation of the wholesale housebreaking which has been going on at tho beach resort. He finds the charge that IS cottages were entered well founded, but does not think the thieves got much. The goods taken con sisted mostly of blankets and wearing apparel. Windows and doors were left open, however, and no little damage done to property by the weather. The loss will fall almost wholly on Portland peo ple. Monday night burglars broke Into tho building near the railroad depot here and took the superintendent's bicycle out and rode to Long Beach, returning Just before daylight. The building was found broken open early in the morn ing, but not until Long Beach citizens came in next day and In quired who had been out in tho night on the tricycle did the superintend ent know that his vehicle had been used. Nelse Sankala, a prominent fisherman here, went to Sand Island yesterday to look after his Interests there, and discov ered that a gang of river pirates had been living In his scow during the storm. He found empty cans of all descriptions and empty beer bottles. These tallied with the bottles taken from the railroad warehouse here .and with canned goods stolen from Frazler's place. TREADGOLD CONCESSION. Governor Ross Says It "Will Greatly Benefit the Klondike. VANCOUVER. B. C. Feb. 20.-Governor Ross, of the Klondike, arrived here yes terday from the North by the steamer Amur. In an Interview concerning the Trend gold concession, about which so much excitement hat; been raised. Gov ernor Ross said: "I have not seen the amended order-in-council concerning the concessions to the Treadgold syndicate, but I did see the original order, and unless some very ma terial alterations have been made In the document nothing but benefit to the Klon dike can result from the agreement which has been reached between the govern ment and the syndicate. Owing to the fact that there are many claims on tho creeks in the Klondike region which can not be successfully worked at present on account of the poor water supply, the owners can but await the time when ome powerful financial corporation or syndicate provides a generous water sup ply. That is what the Treadgold syndi .ciite has contracted with the government to do, and In return for Its cash outlay the government will allow It to work the Inaccessible bench claims, the titles to which have lapsed or which the owners do not care to work. Owners of claims have the privilege of working their prop erties with the aid of the Trendgold wa ter, for which they must pay a reason able sum to the syndicate, the amount being set by the government, so that no Imposition on the part of the syndicate will take place. That Is the question, as I understand It. and, such being the case, the concession cannot but be a source of great benefit to the whole rTjglon." Governor Ross present trip out Is for the purpose of conferring with the Ot tawa authorities. "WreeUnp:e From a Schooner. VICTORIA, B. a: Feb. 20.

Sensible parents will give the little darlings medicine that tastes good and does good, and don't grip or gripe; the kind they like themselves. Medicine forced on the little ones loses half its power. Nasty, sickening medicine is an injustice to the dear little innocents who can't protect themselves, makes them peevish and afraid of the dose. When a child hates the medicine, it will not be effective. Children like Cascarets Candy Cathartic, ask for them and are kept healthy always and easily against the damages of childhood's ailments. - - .- r .1 t- Ail .l-.....?. n ie rif tjvr ntH in KiilV- rQElCJLi2AEi The genuine tablet stamped C C C.
