TWO MORE STEAMERS
The Edith and Kosalie Sail
from Seattle.
THE GEORGE E. STARR TUESDAY
Seattle Is Crowded With Strangers
Beaded for the Gold Fields of
the Northwest.
Seattle, July 31. The steamer Edith
sailed for Skagnaway today, having on
board sixty-eight horses intended to
pack the freight of the Clondyke over
the trail to Lake Linderman.
The eteamer Rosalie, with 150 passen
gers for Dyea inlet, got off at 9 o'clock
tonight. She was heavily laden with
freight, consisting entirely of the out
fits of the passengers. These outfits
varied from 200 to 2000 pounds, more
approaching the latter than the former
figure. The great majority of those
who go north on the Rosalie are
equipped for at least one year's work.
Among the Rosalie's freight there were
forty-five boats "knocked down," and j
ready to put together. These boats will
be carried across the mountains with
the outfits, put together and used to
carry the miners and their outfits down
the lakes and the headwater streams of
, the Yukon, to Dawson City and th gold
fields. Each boat can carry about two
tons of freight and five persons.
The steamer Transit, a steam barge,
has been fitted up to carry pack horses
to Skaguaway. She will sail tomorrow
with ninety horses and more freight.
The horses are the property of
the paspengers. The George E. Starr,
chartered by the same' people, sails for
the north Tuesday next.
Hundreds of people are flocking to
Seattle and crimes are becoming com
mon. Two burglaries ot stores were
committed last night, the stocks being
looted and carted away. One holdup
occurred on the water front.
Members of the Chamber of Com
merce and outfitters engaged in the
Clondyke trade met this morning to
discuss the Canadian tariff question by
which all American miners have to pay
duty. A committee of business men
was appointed to formulate plans fo
have the United States collect duties at
Dyea and Circle City. The committee
will report at another mass meeting
Monday evening.
Tacoma, Jnly 31. The steamer
Rosalie sailed at midnight with 185 pas
sengers for Skagaway, Alaska, direct.
There was an animated scene at the
dock when the Tacoma delegation went
aboard. Longshoremen were busy
hustling the goldseekers and supplies
aboard the vessel, and the Argonauts
were dividing their time between bid
ding farewell to friends and seeing that
their freight was put aboard. Several
people on the RoBalie forwarded horses
on the Edith.
JN A TIGHT PLACE.
Spanish Ministers Think They Want to
.Fight the United States.
London, July 31. A Spanish diplomat
who is in close touch with Senor Cano
yas del Castillo, the Spanish premier,
informs the correspondent of the Asso
ciated Press that it is useless longer to
attempt to disguise the fact that the
Spanish ministry is in a very tight place.
He says :
"We can eep up the war in Cuba
only so long as our funds last, and the
time when they will fail is almost in
eight. When it comes we must give up
the struggle. Now we are too proud a
race to do so at anybody's demand, but
Good for the Baby.
If there is a baby in the house, Gar
land's Happy Thought Salve should be
there too. It is the safest, cleanest and
surest remedy for the score of little skin
troubles that are likely to affect infants.
"Garland's Happy Thought Salve healed the
baby's face right up. MAY Q"1NL,AN,
cor. lbth Ave. and Republic bts., Seattle, Wn.
"My baby is fat, consequently chafed verv
badly. Garland's Happy Thought Salve beats
all the powders 1 ever used for it."

we can do so by pleading force maieure
in a war with the United States. Snch
a result naturally would be a very un
pleasant matter to ns, but in order to
prevent the overthrow of trie monarchy
war is the only way out.
"The premier knows from President
McKinley direct that the president per
sonally does not want war, and wishes
to save us from the cost and the blood
shed. But his cabinet only partly
shares his views, while the senate and
house of representatives, the American
press and the people of the United
States favor a settlement with big guns.
President McKinley,' however, while
first for peace, has declared himself as
not shrinking from war, if peace meas
ures fail. This is the position of the
United States, and naturally lends
strength to the independent course
which General Woodford will pursue.
His instructions will be at the outset to
attempt to obtain for Cuba the peaceful
means of Cuban independence. Ue is
destined to be defeated in his proposal
the moment it is made, for Spain would
infinitely prefer war, with or without
the encouragement of other notions, to
any surrender of the Cuban question.
This is the fact, and the premier sees no
other way out of the present impasse in
Spanish policies. We will court war
the moment the United States becomes
imperative in its demand. The wave of
great emotion and patriotism such a
war would call out in Spain would natu
rally sink all threatening questions and
disturbances. The Carlists, Republi
cans and all others would unite for the
nation, as they could be united by noth
ing else; and when defeated, if Spain
should be defeated. Cuba could be sur
rendered without imperiling all present
political and monarchical institutions."
The Dlngley Lav Raises Wages.
New Orleans, Jnly 31. Leon God
chau, the owner of seven sugar planta
tions in Louisiana, and the largest pro
ducer in the United States, has tele
graphed to the managers of his several
places to advance wages of all field labor
162 per cent, the advance to commence
August 1, in consequence, he says, of
passage of the Dingley tariff bill. The
skilled labor employed in the sugar
houses or refineries are paid according
to the price sngar commands and will
get an increase in wages of from 20 to 30
per cent.
The President's View.
New YoHk, July 31. A dispatch to
the World from Plattsburg, N. Y., says
President McKinley refuses to be inter
viewed by the newspaper reporters, but
to one of the hotel guests who has known
him for a long time and who attempted
to secure an expression from him as to
the effect of the new tariff law and the
condition of business be said :
"It is too early to determine the effect
of the tariff law, but it will eventually
raise more revenue than the law in force
up to last week. As to the condition of
business, I believe it will improve."
A Great Commercial War.
Paris, July 31. The Eclaire, com
menting upon the renouncement of the
Anglo-German treaty, says :
"It is the commencement of a gigantic
commercial duel and a threatened out
break between the two countries. At
the same time, is a real declaration of
war, and the struggle will be fought to
the death. The future appears heavy
with threats and dangers."

A. NONUNION MAN KILLED.
Fatal Result of an Encounter With
Strikers.
Scottdale. Pa., July 31. William
Cummings, the leader of the nonunion
men brought here by the Scottdale Iron
& Steel Company to take the places of
strikers, was shot atd instantly killed
tonight, in front of the Commercial
hotel. Cummings and three compan
ions, all nonunion men, encountered a
number of strikers as they came from a
barroom, and a war of words ensned
Some one fired a revolver, and a dozen
shots followed in quick succession.
Cummings dropped dead with a bullet
in bis temple, and his three companions
fled to the mill hotly pursued by an
angry crowd. When the nonunion men
reached the enclosure the deputies on
guard surrounded them and the mob
was forced to retreat.
Sheriff Zanoor, of Greensburg, is now
on his way here with 50 men. At mid
night everything was quiet, however,
and there was no fear of a further out
break. Reports as to how the shooting
occurred are conflicting. James Dolf,
one of the nonunion men who were with
Cummings, was arrested tonight, and
other arrests will follow. The situation
is very much strained, and no one can
predict the outcome.

Paris, July 31. It is rumored that
the possible abdication of the king of

CAJOLED THE JURY.
An Interesting; Incident of a Memora

The jury in the Martha Washington

wherein rthe captain, of the steamboat
Martha Washing-ton and- others were
charged with burning- "the boat to se
cure insurance, was chosen -with diffi
culty, says McClure's- Magazine. During-
their five weeks' service the mem

by the zealous feminine sympathizers of
the accused. By every art possible to
youth, beauty and wit and the reckless
abandon, of lives largely spe-nt in the
companionship of adventurers were

that jury room and vote 'not gnilty in
an hour you will be a dead man," said
the wife of the captain, confronting an
aged juror on the staircase. Sprung
from an oldi and respectable Massa
chusetts family, she was a singularly
beautiful, brilliant, dashing woman.
She had; gone in early girlhood to the
west and became enamored of the pic
turesque river captain, who did not see
fit to marry her and went off to Mexico
and opened his gambling house on the
Rio Grand. One dby as he sat dealing
faro there his affianced presented her
self. Disguised in a man's attire and
airmed- with a brace of pistols, she had
made her way without detection to the
Rio Grande. She was a skilled shot and
could- hit a dollar across a room. Level
ing a pistol at the recreant lover's head,
she said in a short, sharp voice : "Marry
me, or take -this in your head!" The
astounded captain replied: "Why,
Ollie, my dear, is that you 7" The mar
