A pile of rags Haturated with oil, was found, m one of the dressing rooms and un der the stage. The fire was ex tinguished before any serious dam age was done. British Columbia feels that she is being trifled with 03- the Dominion government in the mat ter of the Pacific railway. Seces sion is freely talked of in conse quence. The representatives of British Columbia at Ottawa in their appeal to the government in sists on knowing immediately what is to be done. They demand that work shall be commenced in Brit ish Columbia without further de- iy- The district court at Seattle has been occupied two whole days with the famous Bell-town scan dal case, in which a 3'oung married woman named Lazeau, recently parted from her husband, institutes a suit against the wife of a promin ncnt wealthy citizen named Har kins, to recover five thousand dollars damages for alleged slander. No case ever tried in the territory lias created such intense excite ment, andthe court room is crowd ed during the entire course of the trial. Man)' leading families are dragged into it, including the pas tor and a prominent member of the Methodist church. The testi mony throughout is a perfect storm of filth. The only recourse left was to impeach the character of plaintiff and a certain other young lady who appeared as witness against her, and drau them down to the lowest depths of womanly deg radation. The suit will demoral ize, ruin and damn all concerned in it. Durina: Judc Burke's ar gument for the plaintiff Friday evening, the mother of Mrs. L,va eau was carried fainting from the court room. The case went to the jury at 7 o'clock, and in an hour they returned with a verdict for plaintiff, damages three cents.

"Who is to pa the expenses of this extraordinary trip has not been stated, but is not Mr.'Whiteaker. The secretary says it is no discredit to the silver dollar that it is not popular. Neither is gold popular. The vaults of the sub treasury in New York are filled with gold that any body can have in exchange for greenbacks by simply asking, yet but few ask. There is virtually no demand for gold or silver. "We have some six millions of subsidiar' silver coin in the treasury, which we will pay out when called for; yet there is no demand, or next to none, for that. The fact is, people have become educated in a school of paper money, and they "want nothing else if they can get it, that is at all times equal with gold. MISCELLANEOUS. LAl'XDin FOK SALE.
