It is thought now that the conntv seat will remain at tnohomisii. as a three fifths vote was required to change it and this, it is believed, Everett failed to se cure.

The attendance at the Cheney Normal School continues to increase, and now the enrollment in the normal depart ment is ninety-eight, the largest number ever enrolled at this season of the year. Klamath and Lake counties, Or., will sell in all this fall about 15.000 head of cattle.

JAPAN NO HURRY. Re Answer Received as Tet to Our Offer to Arbitrate. Wahihnqtok, November 10. It is stated here in official circles that Japan has not yet accepted the invitation of the United States to submit the ques tion of peace with China to our media tion. While the statement is probably literally correct, there is reason to be lieve that Japan has requested as a pre liminary to action upon our invitation that she be informed explicitly just what terms China has to propose as a basis of a treaty of peace. Up to this moment China has not submitted any definite proposals, so that the delay appears to be rather on her part than on Japan's. It could not fairly be expected that the Japanese would halt in their triumphant march and perhaps aiioru their oppo nents a very potent opportunity to rally from their disorganized condition, unless Japan is furnished with some satisfac tory proposition by China that may be binding beyond question upon the latter. No such satisfactory proposition has yet been made by China, but on the con trary the Chinese tenders so far have been on a basis tiiat could not be ac cepted with safety and consistency by Japan. tor instance, a Chinese proposition was that Oorea be evacuated by both Chinese and Japanese troops. Inasmuch as the principal cause of the ?ar was Japan's contention that the entire Co- rean administrative and financial system must be reformed on modern lines, and that Japan tnu&t undertake the task, a temporary occupation of the country at least by Japan was a necessary condi tion. And consenting that the Japanese troops evacuate China immediately would also violate all precedent, for it is customary in such cases for the victori ous nation to remain in possession of the captured territory as a pledge until the payment of the war indemnity. Bat, disregarding these points of difference, it is becoming more evident that the in terference of European powers is a stum bling block in the way of a settlement of the war through the medium of the United States, nearly all having inter ests in the East which they regard as paramount to our own. An official who has given much attention to the subject is of the opinion that Kuesia will never consent to anything which looks like an indefinite occupation of Corea by Japan, unless she is herself allowed to take pos session of- a portion of Corea for the Eastern terminus of the Siberian rail road. France is reported to have de manded a coaling station on the Island of Formosa, and Great Britain has reached out for the Island of Chuean. japan's outlay. Tokio. November 16. Japan has not yet received any peace overtures from umna. it japan accepts America s oner ol mediation, she will do so only upon certain conditions concerning the ques tion of indemnity. It is understood that Japan's actual outlay for the war up to the present has been about 3U,ouu,uuu FROM THE FEONT. Washington, November 16.

Diepatches from Field Marshal Yamagata say that he is continuing his advance on Manchuria. His left division is marching upon Siu Yon Ching, where a force of 20,000 Chi nese under General Ma is encamped. The right division recently routed a large force of Chinese cavalry on the road to Lin San Kwan, which was oc cupied later without opposition from the Chinese. The division is now advancing upon Wo Tin Tang, where the Chinese under General Tso have taken a posi tion. v RATES TO SPOKANE Advance in the New Commodity Tariff to the Interior. AVERAGE OF THE ADVANCE THE ACT INVALID. An Increase 'Which Will Put the Coast Terminals on Better Basis List of the Commodities on Which the Kates Are Unchanged. Poetland, November 15. Commodity rates from Chicago, the Mississippi and Missouri rivers to North Pacific termi nals were advanced October 20. Bates to intermediate points have been ad justed, and advance will be made to-day. This will put the Coast on a better basis with the interior. Out of 109 commod ities, however, only forty-two have been raised. Among the commodities on which rates are unchanged are the fol lowing : Agricultural implements, apples and cider, axes, beer, glass bottles, pressed brick, broom corn, butter, butterine, eggs, cheese, dressed poultry, canned goods, cereals, cereal products, lamp chimneys, coffee, condensed milk, crock ery, earthenware, fresh fruit, furniture. nails and spikes, horseshoe nans, unseed oil in tank cars, starch and syrup.

T., November 16. The Republican will publish to-morrow the substance of a recent decision by the Supreme Court of the United States, which invalidates the Territorial in debtedness, amounting to $750,000. The decision was in the case of Charles Ed ward Lewis vs. Pima county to enforce the collection of 2,250 coupons attached to 150 bonds issued by the defendant county in 1883 under an act of the Leg islature of that year directing the Board Supervisors to issue bonds to the amount of (200,000 in favor of the Ari zona Narrow Gauge railroad. The Leg islature construed its authority to enact such a law in spite of the restriction which confined its appropriation of pub lic money to "the necessary administra tion of its internal affairs." Suit was brought against the county three years ago, and the verdict was rendered for the defendant, Judge Sloan holding that the legislation creating bonds was spe cial and contrary to the Harrison act. The United States Supreme Court takes no account 01 this view, Dut declares that the Legislature was restricted by a clause which confines it to this species of legislation only in favor of improve ments which taemtate the administra tion of internal affairs. The decision closes in the following language: " We are compelled to hold that the bonds in Question create no obligation against the county which a court of law can enforce." This decision affects an issue of $200,- 000 by Maricopa county in favor of the Maricopa and rhcenix railroad ana an issue of (250,000 by Yavapai county in favor of the now defunct Prescott and Arizona Central.

Train No. 2, eouth bound on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas road, was held np and robbed at 10 p. h. at a little aiding, Blacketone, five miles north of Muskogee. There were fifteen men in the gang, all unmasked. The switch was thrown and the train run into a track on which were several box cars. An attempt was made to enter the express car, but it was nn successful. The robbers, findinz them selves foiled in this, commenced robbing the passengers, who up to this time had been merely kept under guard by men stationed in either door 01 eacn coach. Two hundred and sixty dollars in money and eight gold watches were seenred. The robbers then withdrew One of the train crew claims to have recognized Bill Cook as one of the ban dits. The reason that more money was not secured laid in the fact that, while the robbers were endeavoring to get into the express car, the passengers disposed of much of their valuables. Ihe scene of the hold-up is in the midst of the (Jook rendezvous, an mat country lying between the Arkansas and Verdi Oris rivers being particularly suited to the purposes of lawless bands. Almost the entire force of Marshals are now in that country. Chloral Found in the Stomach. Tacoma, November 15. Chemist Davidson to-night reported to the Coro ner that he found chloral in quantity sufficient to kill in the stomach of Madi son M. Bartlett, whose dead body was found on the sidewalk the morning of November 5. Some thought Bartlett had been murdered, but this clears np the mystery and leads to the conclusion that lie took an overdose of the drug be fore closing his cigar store to go home early that morning. At the inquest seV' eral witnesses testified mat mrtiett sometimes used chloral and morphine to produce sleep, and the theory is that he took the drug that night downtown in order that he might sleep as soon as he reached home. Ihe Coroners jury, which adjourned awaiting the chemist's report, will hold its final session to-morrow. Diphtheric Btueus In the Eye. Cincinnati, November 15. Dr. Eman uel Schwab of Madison Pike, Walnut Hills, is suffering from an affliction of the eyes, resulting from a peculiar cause. He has among his patients one who is suffering from diphtheria. While visit ing his patient lie was in the act of ex amining the throat when the sufferer coughed. As he did so a piece of mucus from the throat struck the doctor in the eyes. Dr. Schwab finished his work. In a few hours one of the eyes began to burn, and soon became inflamed. He realized that the poisoned mucus had aitected the tender lining of the eye, and when it refused to yield to simple treat ment he called an oculist. An examina tion developed that the poison had im pregnated the muscles of the eye, and that it was a serious case. FOR THE DELEGATES. Instructions Agreed tTpon by the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. Seattle, November 15. The Chamber of Commerce to-day agreed upon the in structions to the delegates to the Trans- mississippi Congress to be held at St. Louis November 26.

Governor McGraw to-day refused to to give Chief of Police Rogers of this city requisition papers for Matt Bies, a notorious bunco man arrested in ios Angeles last week. The Governor held that the Sheriff was the proper person, as the State would thereby save $5 a day. Bies is nnder a three years sen tence to the penitentiary for operating in this city, and while bis case was Deing heard on appeal to the Supreme Court jumped his bond. HIS COFFEE DRUGGED. Deputy TJntted States Marshal Outwitted) by His Prisoner. St. Louis, November 15. Deputy United States Marshal Henry Miller ot San Francisco reached St. Louis to-day. He left San Francisco last Thursday with Henry Smythe accused of using the mails to defraud Chicago merchants. Monday afternoon at Little Bock, Ark., Smythe disappeared from the train so mysteriously that Miller has not yet re covered the prisoner. Smythe's wife and daughter were on the train. " When we reached Texarkana Mon day," said Miller, " Mrs. Smythe made coffee in tbe car and prepared the meal. An hour and a half afterward I had a dreadful pain and was almost overcome by a drowsy feeling. My head felt as if it was in a vise. None of the others were taken sick. The inference is obvi ous. Early in the afternoon, when the train reached Little Bock, I walked along the platform to the front car, and when I gotonboardldidnotseeSmythe. I noticed that while I had been on the platform the watermen had unlocked the rear door to supply the drinking tank, and Smythe had evidently skipped by them." Northern Paolflo Connection. Tacoma, November 15. It is an nounced that an English syndicate has contracted to build the Fraser Valley and Burrard Inlet railway, fifty-one miles long, from Sumas, Wash., to Van couver, B. C, providing the city of Van couver gives the promised subsidy of 550,000 and grants an extension of one year's time, or to December 31, 1895, in which to build the road. The line was to be finished by December 81 next, but the business depression prevented. The arrangement made is that the English men shall take the subsidy and then build, own and operate the road. By a traffic agreement already provided the line will be in reality a branch of the Northern Pacific running into the Ca nadian Pacific's territory, as originally intended. The Northern Pacific's ob ject, it is said, is to cut rates to Van couver, if the Canadian Pacific cuts rates into its territory. If the extension of time is granted, the line will be built early in the summer. Over $00,000 has been spent on it to date.
