The member of the t'levks' Protect
ive association and the merchants of
the city will meet next Monday night
at t'ainahaii hnll for the purpose of
discussing mutters of mutual intorext.
It is the Intention of the clerks to pro.
'vlJo refreshment and have a musical
pvog.-nm, and otherwise to make mat
t?r ns pleasant as possible for the em
ploy;r. The principal matter to be
dhcui1 will bo the closing hours on
legal holiday. At present-there Is no
agreement ns to this matter, nnd with
every, holld ty the clerks are compelled
to circulate a list of agreement that
the stores ahiill be closed at a stipulat
ed hour. The plan Is very unsatis
factory, for' the , -eason that about ev
ety merchant seen ays he will abide
by ths decision .if the majority, and
make a noncommittal statemeut. The
clerk will ask the merchants them
selves to settle the matter at Monday
bight' maetlng. There are only seven
legal holidays In the year. The ques
tion to be decided Is a to whether the
i tore shall be -psn half the day or
closed the entire day. i
The steam schooner Sequoia, bound
from dray harbor 'or San Francisco
with a big cargo of lumber, wa towed
itilo port la-rt evening In a waterlogged
condition and la now lying in the low-
sr harbor. She left Gray harbor eev
tral day ago and outside encountered
the full fury of the terrible gale which
haa raged for ome day past. Evl.
dently she wa too heavily laden and
for some time wa at the mercy of
the element. Her teerlng gear 1
reported to have been rendered al
moat useless, and the men Jettisoned
the biggest portion of the decklond of
lumber, In an effort to eae the steamer.
I lie Melville Dollar, hound out of
Grays harbor for San Francisco, hap
ptned Dlong and look the Sequoia In
tow, bringing her as far aa the Co
tumbla Yesterday afternoon h ilg.
nailed for assistance and the Wallula
went out and picked up the disabled
vessel. She Is repot ted to have been
badly damaged during the blow, but
ker exact condition could not he as

The city election takes place today,
and the polls will be open between the
hour of 8 a. m. and p. m. The elec
tion has provoked Tiore Interest than
would ordlairlly be looked for In an
off year, and all the cnadldates have
been muklng earnest campaigns. In
terest, of course, centers In the race
for city attorney between Judge F. D.
Wlnton, th republican candidate, and
Altiert M. Smith, the nominee of the
cltlxen party nnd the labor unions. Mr.
Sirip.h has always been regarded a a
strong man, but Judge Winton has
conducted a very energetic campaign,
and his friends are of the opinion that
h) will be successful. In the First
wart If. M. Leath?cs and George Ka
both are the opKaIng candidates; In
the Second ward, James W. Welch and ,
fame J. Kobinson represent the re
publicans, while J. V. Burns and John j
.-vcnson are identified with the cltl-
.eu movement. In the Third ward
C. A. T.elnenwebr, a most popular and
deserving young man, has no opposi
tion, and has not lost any sleep. The
registration indicates that almost 1200
-otes will bj east today, which is a very
good showing, when" It Is considered
that only a small ticket Is to be elected.

Whether or not Judicial authority tan
be delegated to a. deputy I a que tlon
that 1 now b'fore the council ot this
city: City Attorney Smith belle
tha ta delegation of Judicial power
would be unconstitutional, while May.
or Suprenant, who Is not at alt Im
pressed wltb .the Idea of exercising the
function of police Judge, la hoping
with all hi heart that the city attorney
1 wrong..:'.., ' "-.: .".'.- '"
The question ha resulted from the
nine of Auditor and Police Judge
Nelson, who 1 now at St. Mary" nos.
pltul. ' Mr. Nelson 1 a very kk man.
nnd.rcalizin; th'tt it will take him some
month to regain hi health, he ap
pointed Arthir Leberman ;a deputy
auditor, as 1 provided in section 0 or
the charter; Mr. Ltberman took hi
oath a depuiy.-.tnd at a meeting of the
ouncil held last evening the action of
Auditor Nelson waa ratified.
Section 60 provide among other
thlnga that the auditor may have a
depuly, to be appointed by him tn
writing, and to continue during his
pleasure; that such deputy shall hjive
the power to perfor.n ariy act or duty
required of hla principal, and that hi
rlneipal 1 responsible for hla act
and conduct. , ; ,
Section 65 1 somewhat conflicting.
nd read a follow: "Tne iff Ice of
auditor and police Judge ahall be deem
ed vacant whenever he ahall absent
himself from the city for a period of
more than ill day wl'hout the consent
of the mayor first had and obtained,
except In cas? of sickness. In the ab-
aence of the auditor end police Judge
the mayor may preside over the police
court in all manners relating to viola
tion of any city ordinance."
It will be observed that section 60
anecin.e that ths deputy shall perform
the dutljs of the auditor, while section
(5 say the mayor "may" preside over
the police court during the absence of
the auditor from the city. Auditor
Nelson Is not absent, and here Is a vast
difference between ."mny" and "shall."
The matter has been left to At
torney Smith, who said he bad not
looked Into It very closely. However,
ho waa of the opinion that It would be
necesaary for the mayor to act a po
lice Judge, aa he thought It unconsti
tutional to delegate ludleiul authority
to a deputy; that It wa Impossible un
der the constitution to appoint a depu
ty Judge. Mr. Smith added that he
waa open to conviction and that he
would look up the authorities in the
n tat tar. .. . '
Mr. Lebcrman, the acting auditor,
has been connected' with the office for'
some months past, ownig to a press of
business.
