SOME GOOD REASONS WHY Difficulties lntle War of a Fair and Dispassionate DIncasfilon of This or Any Other Public Issue In Washington By a Staff Writer. SEATTLE, August L There Is an un mistakable chill In the air here whenever Governor McBride's railroad commission j Is working In accord with the Governor hta public utterances and In-his talk with ! In some thlnra. and there la a tacit under- me. as set forth in my letter 01 jeovcw-, These are points among many whlcn ought to be brought out and threshed out In Washington at this time, but the con ditions do not permit It to be done. Neither the newspapers nor the leading political mc-n are situated to do It "because their connection with railroad Interests -puts a discount upon all they say or do. Furthermore, the old and protracted railroad fight has been prosecuted by such methods on the part of the railroads as to make It a public discredit to anjnah to even lean toward a position ravoraoie or apparently favorable to their interests. Any man or any newspaper In Washington now In a large and emphatic way taking Ground against the commission project would Instantly In the public mind be stamped as bought by railroad money or by railroad Influence of come kind. This Is more than unfortunate; U la pitiful, for It Illustrates to what degradation a-few years of political confusion may bring the political life and the puDiic auaira i -j. commonwealth. The blame as well as the Injury of this state of affairs rests largely with the railroads, for the roetnoas tney have pursued have tended largely to thi bringing of It about- The attitude of Governor McBride In TRACY KEEPS GOING Outlaw, is Headed for the ' "Hole in the Wall."

Of a certain kind of political discussion there Is more than enough, but It is wholly personal and mosUy scandalous. I hear no Inquiries as to the wisdom of the Governor's plan for a railroad commis sion, but, on the other hand, I hear the Governor roundly applauded for his "nerve," and as roundly condemned as a man with corrupt purposes. McBride, say those who oppose him, wants to get powerful railroad commission of his own appointment In order that he may get hold on the railroad companies and work them to the limit" whatever that may mean. I even heard one heated par tisan declare that such a commission as the Governor proposes .would be worth "a round hundred thousand a year to the Governor and his pals." The whole tone of the discussion Is on this violent and vulgar basis, and those who do not talk extravagantly .are more than likely to dodge the Issue altogether. I asked six men of high political standing yesterday where they stood on the commission ques tion, and live of them, with a pitiful at tempt at diplomacy, wriggled out of giv ing me a clean-cul and definite answer. In truth, the only men. of political rank in SeatUe whose views have been pub licly declared, are ex-Governor McGraw and Mr. Harold Preston, candidate for the Senate, both being warmly with the Governor. The Issue Is one which ought to b6 dis cussed In calm spirit, for there are not wanting good arguments In opposition to Governor McBride's plan. The Oregon railroad commission waa a farce from first to last. The California commission has b2en the source of unspeakable cor rupUons, among ether things making It necessary for the railroads at least In the opinion oi the railroad managers to keep In politics on the principle of eelf protecticn. It Is conceivable that a com mission of exnerts, governed wholly hy motives of intelligence and honesfy might In Washington or elsewhere do a work at once just and beneficent, but what assur ance can be given that such a body of men can or will be chosen or that having once been chosen will long hold their places?

The peace commis sioners who left here July 29 on the Brit ish oteamer Cana, to visit the revolu tionary General Herrcra. near Agua Dulce, returned to Panama at noon today. They. Informed the representative of the Associated Pres3 that they were unable to fulfill their mission, because a very se vere engagement between Herrcra's forces and the government troops had been In progress since Tuesday, July 29. when tho revolutionary forces began to attacK Agua Dulce. At 5 o'clock Thursday morning the best battalions of the revolutionary forces at tacked the government entrenchments with fierce courage. The slaughter of tho revolutionists Is said to have been exces- alve and barbarous. That same after noon a white flag was raised in their camp and they asked for an armistice. during which they could bury their dead. This was granted. The losses of the rebels up to Wednesday, July 20. were reportea at over 200. while the government forces had had eight men killed and 11 wounded. General Moreno, one of the peace commis sioners, who returned today, says tho entrenchments at Agua Dulce are mas terpieces of military art. At the cxplritlon cf the armistice u-e engagement recommenced with the eame fierceness. Nine government battalions. which had not taken part In the fight. were still being held In reserve last night.
