The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VoL. VII., NO. 30 PASSING EVENTS Of Men and Things Throughout the World. Big Sunday Death Record—P. D. Armour, Bradbury of Maine, Editor Schnebly—Minneapolis Holocaust All Reported—A New Democracy—Frank Jamas. Last Sunday was rather a day of fatalities for leading men of the country, as well as some leading lights of our own section. The death of Phillip D. Armour, the great Chicago packing house king, last Sunday, was reported, he having succumbed to a protracted illness that has been hanging on him for the past two years. Mr. Armour was a many times millionaire, and he controlled all of the leading packing houses of the United States at the time of his death. He has but one son that survives him, and he will take his father's shoes in the financial world at once. It was the death of a son two years ago bearing the father's name that hastened the father's death. Mr. Armour's estate is estimated to be worth in the neighborhood of $100,000,000. A MAINE MAN DIES. The next most important death that occurred on Sunday was that of a former United States senator, James W. Bradbury, of Augusta Me. Though a native of New York, he early emigrated to the State of Maine, where he at once became prominent in politics. In 1846 he was elected to the United States senate, serving a full term. For a number of years Mr. Bradbury has lived in private retirement, taking no part in politics or public affairs. He was 98 years of age when he died. A PIONEER JOURNALIST GONE David J. Schnebly, the pioneer newspaper man of the Northwest, died at his home in Ellensburg last Sunday, at the ripe old age of 83. He was the first man to ever start a newspaper in the Northwest, and remained in the business, practically speaking, until his death. His first effort in the newspaper field was in Oregon City, with the Spectator, which was established in 1852. He has had various other experiences with newspaper work and has been connected with a number of different papers at different places, but of late years he had devoted his entire time to the Localizer, at Ellensburg, which he conducted as a local Democratic paper. In 1896 he partially retired from the paper, leaving its management to his sons, who conducted it as a Free Silver Bryan paper. Father Schnebly was universally liked by the members of the craft of this State, and whenever he was able to get to one of their editorial meetings, he was always the center of attraction. This leaves but one other pioneer newspaper man in the State, in the person of Thomas Prosch, who now resides in Seattle and is historian of the Washington Press Association. Mr. Prosch began active newspaper service in the Northwest a short time after that begun by Mr. Schnebly, who has so recently passed away. MINNEAPOLIS' FATAL FIRE. Quite a fire fatality occurred in Minneapolis last Sunday, which resulted in eight persons losing their lives and quite a number of others being dangerously, if not fatally, injured. They were all employees of the Standard furniture store, of that city, which was destroyed by fire early Sunday morning, and in their attempt to save the property from destruction they lost their lives. The dead are Mat. Perley, painter; C. J. Skidmore, oiler; J. S. Bentley, newspaper solicitor; B. Schoenfeld, la- borer; George Rudy, barber; John Ericeson, and _____ Jacobsen. Death in every case was due to suffocation. CLEVELAND'S NEW PARTY. For some time it has been very apparent that ex-President Cleveland and a few of the leading Democratic politicians of this country, who believe as does he, that a strangeness had arisen between the Democratic party and those gentlemen. Though Mr. Cleveland was twice elected to the presidency of the United States as a straight Democrat, he was completely shelved by the Bryan Democracy, which Cleveland was pleased to term the "strange gods of 1896," which same strange gods nominated Bryan for the presidency and at the same time so overloaded the Democratic party with political isms as to cause a large number of Democrats, who were Democrats under Cleveland's administration, to either withdraw from the party or remain neutral in the famous campaign of education of 1896, and likewise in the similar subsequent campaign of 1900. Since the last election, Mr. Cleveland has made public his views as to the real condition of the Democratic party, and has repeatedly demanded its reorganization and a return of it to its old principles, but realizing this impossible so long as it was under Bryan's influence, Mr. Cleveland, David Bennett Hill, Daniel S. Lamont, William F. Sheehan, William C. Whitney, James A. Carter, and a number of old school Democrats of New York, have organized a Samuel J. Tilden Club, and through this club they propose to bring the Democratic party back to its political senses and make it a party of standing and merit among the business men in the United States. This has brought forth severe criticism from Bryan, the new leader of the Democratic party, which criticism has been voiced by a number of lesser Democrats of the different localities of this country, who believe as does Bryan, and, as a result of the whole matter, it begins to look as though the United States in the near future will be favored with two Democratic parties instead of one, as for the past century. FRANK JAMES LOST. The evil that one does in early life is sometimes lived down, in a way, but the ghost of such a life always makes its appearance when such persons endeavor to step forward into public life and become one of the men of the day. There is no doubt but that even a renegade can reform sufficiently to become a good American citizen, and not only a good citizen, but an ideal citizen. Nevertheless, it does not necessarily follow that such persons should be pushed to the front in the affairs of the country which they tried so hard to tear to pieces in their more youthful and reckless days. When Frank James, an associate and brother of the notorious Jesse James, both of whom robbed and wrecked banks, railroads and every other enterprise in which a dollar could be found; who murdered men, women and children without mercy for the sake of obtaining their money, as such persons passed to and fro on the railroads, when, it is repeated, such outlaws come before a legislature of a State for public recognition, as did Frank James before the Missouri legislature a few days ago, asking the members of that honored body to honor him with an official position within its ranks, that his posterity might be protected from the disgrace his own recklessness had brought on it, owing to the fact that he and his brother were the boldest and most daring robbers the world has ever known, this is asking altogether too much of civilization, and this, too, regardless of the fact that James has to some extent reformed, and there is no doubt but that the civilized world applauds with profound gratitude at the stand the Missouri legislature took when Desperado James only got 15 votes out of the 175 members, for the honor he sought. James, since he surrendered himself and was pardoned by the government for his numerous border outlaw offenses, has not lived an ideal life after all, for instead of becoming one of the people and identifying himself with leading business enterprises, he has hung about variety theaters as ticket seller, door keeper, and other occupations connected with such institutions, which, to say the least, is not the kind of man the citizens of this country wish their sons to emulate. BROTHER IN BLACK Under Critical Observation by the Anglo-Saxon DANISH WEST INDIES. From official circles at Washington City it is learned that Minister Swenson, of this country, who is stationed at Copenhagen, has offered the Swedish government $3,240,000 for the Danish West Indies Islands. The consummation of this international deal would have been perfected a year ago, and ere this, it was thought, the United States would have been the owner of those islands. This government has constantly pounded away at the Swedish government to get her to relinquish her rights to the islands, but up to the present time, to no avail. That the United States could be in a position to compete with England or any other European country, it seems absolutely necessary that she own that group of islands. England owns the Dominican group of islands, to the south of the Danish islands, and it has been officially given out that if the United States buy the Danish West Indies, England will make an effort to either sell her possessions to the United States or establish independent republics among the Dominicans. In such a case the United States would become either the possessor of all of the islands in the Atlantic ocean within the American radius, or a protector of them, thereby putting into effect the famous Monroe Doctrine, which has been the guiding star of the American republic since that famous doctrine was first enunciated by President Monroe. OOM PAUL IS COMING. It is now reported by Wm. T. Stead, the great English labor agitator, that Paul Kruger, late president of the Transvaal republic, is soon to sail for the United States, to try to interest the people of this government in the cause of the Boers. It will be remembered that Mr. Kruger went to Europe for the selfsame purpose, and while he met with a most flattering reception in France, owing to the fact that the French republic desired to offer some kind of insult to the English government, he met with a rather cold reception in every other part of Europe that he visited. Personally, he has been received with honors and courtesy by the lay citizens of the governments he visited, but officially he has not been received by the rulers of the European governments and has been given to understand by them that he need not expect their government to take any part in the restoration of the Boer republic, and that its agitation within their confines would not be tolerated. Kruger, should he visit the United States, would be likewise received here; the private citizens of this country would receive him as a distinguished private citizen, but the president nor his official house- should would hold out to him no hope of getting any aid in this country for his fallen republic, nor would they permit him to agitate or try to excite the minds of the public in general to offer any assistance in any way for his lost cause. The Transvaal cause is a lost one, and President Kruger had as well submit to the fate and seek some place in Europe or America where he can pass the balance of his days in peace and quiet. LEGAL NOTICES At reasonable rates wanted for publication in The Seattle Republican Tel. Main 305 714 Third Avenue BROTHER IN BLACK Under Critical Observation by the Anglo-Saxon Making Much Progress Since Emancipated Some Thirty-Eight Years Ago - A Brief Review of His Accomplishments - St. Louis Journal Talks. It has been learned from the Associated Press that Cyrus Fields Adams, of Chicago, who was advisory member of the late Republican national campaign committee, and who handled the news of the Afro-American papers that supported the McKinley campaign with much credit, has been appointed assistant register of the treasury. This is quite an honored position, and doubtless will be filled with perfect success by Mr. Adams. In years past the register of the treasury has been once presided over by a colored man, Hon. Blanche K. Bruce. At the time Mr. Adams was appointed he was serving as town cierk in South Chicago, to which position he was overwhelmingly elected last spring, and which same position he has twice before been elected to fill. He is said to be a very able and clever politician, and was selected by Mark Hanna to fill the position on the central committee on account of his qualifications to act as a confidential lieutenant under the great Republican leader. GOV. MOUNT ON LYNCHING If there were more such men as Gov. Mount, of Indiana, there would be less lynching in the United States. The stand that Gov. Mount has taken on the lynching of the three Negroes in that State some three weeks ago is herewith commended to Gov. Thomas, of Colorado, and a few other Northern governors, who do not seem able to cope with the lynching spirit that has sprung up in their midst. Gov. Mount learned from official sources that one of the three men lynched was innocent and had no connection whatever in the case, which the other men were guilty of. It so aroused his feelings that he offered a large reward for those connected with the lynching, and since that time he has had an army of detectives ferring out the case, and says he hopes within a few weeks more to have all of the men who participated in the nefarious and barbarous act behind the bars, and that justice, according to the laws of the State, will be meted out to them. He has no fear of such proceedings injuring him or his party among the voters of that State. If doing right will defeat him, he has determined on being defeated. OKLAHOMA HAS NEGROES. Evidently the Negro of this country has found one spot where it is all sunshine for him, and where he can flourish like a green bay tree under its shining influence. In Oklahoma, which is a territory cut out of the Indian reservations, and which was thrown open to the public for settlement in 1890, there are now 65,000 colored people within its confines; of this number there are 13,000 colored voters, and of this number there are 7,000 colored men owning farms, which have been conservatively averaged as being worth $800 each. While this is a very conservative estimate, as it is said that some of the farms in the territory are worth as high as $3,000. But figuring on the $800 basis, it would show that the colored people of Oklahoma, though the territory is but ten years old, are now worth $5,600,000 in realty. At the same rapid growth, ere another decade, they will be worth at least $20,000,000 in that territory, or, in other words, financially rule the territory, as well as make a strong effort toward ruling it politically and otherwise. HAS BEEN HUSTLING. New Year's day, which marked the thirty-eighth anniversary of the freedom of the Negroes of this country was quite generally celebrated by them throughout the United States When the Negro was emancipated in 1863, he was started out without money, means or education. He had some experience as an American citizen, but it was not the kind of experience that would prove very elevating to any man; and it was very generally conceded that at the time of his emancipation, $1,000 would have covered the entire possessions of the four million Negroes that were set free. But January, 1901, the beginning of a new century, finds a far different state of affairs existing among them than did January, 1863. In other words, the century, or that part of the century in which they enjoyed as citizens, has been a most productive one, so far as they are concerned, as it wrought some mighty changes in their condition, for there are now within the United States 32,000 colored teachers, 2,000 colored lawyers, 15,000 colored physicians, church property valued at $40,000,000, churches numbering 19,999, with seating capacity of 6,000,000. Besides this, the colored people are worth many millions of dollars in farm and realty in the United States, as well as in business enterprises and manufactures; they receive more money as wage earners than any other distinct class in the United States; through their own efforts colored people support seven colleges, nineteen academies, five high schools, twenty-five theological seminaries, and raise $11,000,000 for their own education. And all of this has been accomplished in thirty-eight years. CARNEGIE'S GIVING SPIRIT. The following excerpt will show that Andrew Carnegie is in a mood of library donation at present: "Just before Booker T. Washington left Boston, recently, where he has been raising funds for the permanent endowment of the Tuskegee school, he received a letter from Andrew Carnegie to the effect that the latter had decided to give $20,000 for the erection of a library building for the Tuskegee Institute. The building will be erected entirely by student labor." ST. LOUIS COLORED FOLK. From a recent annual holiday number issued by the Palladium, of St. Louis, Mo., a publication which is presided over by P. H. Murray, it is learned that out of a total population of 3,106,600 in Missouri, there are 175,000 colored folks, and that out of a total population of 175,238 in St. Louis, there are 50,000 colored folks; also out of a total school population of 165,000 in St. Louis, there are 9,300 colored children. For the enlightenment of those colored children, there are 142 teachers, all colored. There are thirty-three distinct religious organizations for colored folk, about 100 business establishments among the colored people, sixteen colored dentists, thirty-seven colored letter carriers, and thirteen colored men at work in the various departments of the municipal government. There are also eleven attorneys-at-law, fourteen physicians and numerous other colored men who are employed in professional work not herewith enumerated, all of which shows that St. Louis is a very conducive place for the development of the colored man who desires to push to the front and become a part and parcel of this great republic. A comparison between the Negro and the Indian of this country shows a very discouraging result, so far as the Indian is concerned. In 1620 twenty Negroes were brought to this country and landed at Jamestown, Va., where they met Indians, who roamed over the entire North American country, and probably numbered into the millions. At present there are but 58,806 Indians in the United States, and all of them are public charges on the general government. The government during UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 28 1952 PRICE FIVE CENTS the year 1899 expended $12,784,676 for the care of the Indians. On the other hand, the twenty Negroes of 1620 have increased to 10,000,000, for which the government is not called upon to spend one cent for his care and maintenance. In other words, he is a self,supporting creature, though he may be bronded as an inferior one. There is no hope of ever civilizing the Indian to the extent of preserving the race to which he belongs, either as a historic relic or otherwise, so rapidly is it dying out. His indolent habits are rapidly telling on him as a race, and before the present century will be half past, the Indian will be almost extinct. On the other hand, the Negro has steadily increased, gained strength, wealth and education, and before the present century will have been half passed away, he will be one of the factors of the United States government. As a freed man, he is developing the industries of the sections of the country where he is to be found in greatest numbers, more rapidly than as a slave, which will be seen from the following: In the year 1850, when slavery was at its highest, there was raised in the South but 2,233,781 bales of cotton, while in 1899 the same class of laborers raised 8,900,000 bales of cotton. Despite the opposition that the Negro is meeting with in the South at the hands of the white people, he is nevertheless rapidly gaining wealth and homes and becoming a more prominent factor than he was when a slave. A petition bearing 500 signatures of the most prominent men in Seattle, from a business standpoint, was handed to the city clerk last Monday and the same was read to the city council on Monday evening. The petitioners asked that the "ladies' entrances" to saloons be closed, and that the city officials enforce the laws that have been passed by the city council to the effect that all saloons close at 1 o'clock. Those persons who took the most active part in getting the signatures to the above petition are men who believe that it is the saloon that runs all night and the side entrances that permit all classes of humanity, both young and old, to become patrons of the saloon, that are responsible for the overwhelming amount of vice that Seattle is now festered with. They believe that if the saloons were closed at 1 o'clock at night, and that if the side entrances were closed for all time to come, that men and women and boys and girls, if such there be, who visit saloons, were compelled to enter at the front door and drink at the public bar the same as do men, there would be fewer women and children who would visit saloons for the purpose of drink. The side entrances and the boxes that are to be found in close proximity to the side entrances are the harbingers in which more vice and wickedness are bred than any other spot in or out of a saloon. The Republican has always advocated the running of saloons as other business houses are run, giving no more leeway or privilege to run night and day, week in and week out, than are other business houses given. The city council should carefully consider this petition and the names-thereon and close up the saloons at 1 o'clock as the ordinance which is now on the statute books of this city requires, and for the sake of the young of this community they should close the boxes and side entrances to saloons and drinking resorts. Mr. A. Dean, of Everett, spent a few days in Seattle this week attending court. When Mr. Dean and Mr. Collins were partners in a restaurant enterprise on the water front, it will be remembered, the same went into the bay and they lost all of their effects. Since that time a suit has been pending against the proprietors of the building to recover damages, which suit has been on trial for the past week. AFTER THE SALOONS. he Republican Pub. Co., Publishers OFFICE 714 THIRD AVENUE H. R. Cayton, Editor Susie Revels Cayton, Associate SUBSCRIPTION RATES. One Year ..... $1.00 Six months ..... $1.00 Three Months ..... 600 Entered at the Postoffice at Seattle as Second Class Mail Matter. The new library site is up to you. Who is backing Sammy Perkons, you ask? Let the echo answer who? Has the senatorial bee really begun to buzz in Sammy Perkons' journalistic bonnet? Such would seem to be, even if it really is not so. What's $100,000? Why, the Seattle spirit can raise that amount while the balance of the State would be thinking about how it could be done. With three influential daily papers at your command, we don't see Editor Perkins, why you yourself cannot be United States senator just as well as the other fellow. President McKinley may not change the federal office holders of this State, but they will feel a good deal more at ease when their names will have been sent in for confirmation. The following excerpt from the Statesman-Index shows that the good work is going on in Stevens county. "Sixty marriage licenses were issued by the auditor of Stevens county during 1900." Fire fatalities are starting in well for the new year and new century. This is but the second week, and forty-two deaths have already occurred in this country from that source. Kansas has an international dispute all of her own, owing to the fact that she has one Nation now in the Wichita county jail for smashing up saloons, and the other Nations are demanding a release and damages for the same. Congressman Olmstead not only wanted the representation from the South cut down, but he believed in striking at the very root of the evil by striking down the cause that permitted such an unlawful proceeding to be perpetrated. Pierce county proposes to make another desperate effort before the legislature of this State to get a piece of King county, and it is more than likely that Pierce will do just as it has done in the past—most disgracefully fail. Thank God! Bryan has decided to be a private citizen again. We thank Gor not for the harm or good he was doing by trying to pose as a political Moses, but that he will cease to be a public nuisance. Congressman George H. White played well his part in the Burleigh-Hopkins re-apportionment bill. Burleigh's bill increased the membership of the Lower House of Congress, while Hopkins' reduced it. The former, we are sorry to say, prevailed. It would appear that Mayor Humes and Councilman James had another telephone franchise up their sleeve, which shone much "brighter" to them, hence the franchise granted last week by the city council was unceremoniously murdered by the mayor. A paying weekly newspaper is more valuable than a paying daily newspaper, and equally influential in both public and political affairs, if properly conducted, and in adopting the former instead of the latter, Wm. Jennings Bryan for once showed good sense. You may not get value received for your advertisement in the columns of The Seattle Republican, but there is one thing that you will get, and that is the satisfaction of knowing that you are patronizing an independent journal whose utterances are not bribed nor subsidized by thugs, thieves and social outcasts. The old fossil on the Times roared like a stuck pig when the P.-I. scooped him on the Carnegie gift to the Seattle library. "I knew it all the time" from him might do to tell to a deaf mute, but Seattleites know a good deal better. It was a clean, clear-cut scoop, only that and nothing more. Brer. Brit, of the Chelan Leader, shows his characteristic grit in issuing an up-to-date New Year holiday number. Chelan's citizens should feel financially obligated to Editor Brit, who has so persistently battled against odds, through the columns of the Leader, for the financial development of that section of the State. The Tacoma Ledger is having a good many editorial fits, it would appear, over the movements of Fred E. Sander (inc). The Ledger should not worry, for neither Fred E. Sander nor Fred E. Sander (inc.) would have Tacoma as a Christmas gift, though the latter may have asked some favors at the hands of Tacoma's citizens for the general public good. Under ordinary circumstances one would say of a man who could abduct a 15-year-old boy, hide him away until he got a $25,000 bonus for his safe return, and then get himself away with all of his swag, that such a chap was a "bird," but the man who has successfully accomplished all of this is not a bird, he is simply a Crowe, and if what his brother says of him be true, he is a pretty black Crowe at that. There seems to be quite a rivalry between the war department of this country and Andrew Carnegie, as to which of them can give Seattle the greatest amount of free advertisement just now. The odds, however, seem to be in favor of Mr. Carnegie, though the war department sends $3,600,000 to Seattle, while Mr. Carnegie sends but $200,000, the latter being a gracious gift, while the former gets value received for its donation. The Ballard Register is mistaken. No newspaper is jealous of it getting "legal notices at $2.50 apiece," but when legal notices are printed in a paper that is not admitted into the postoffice, then it is very apparent that the law regulating the publication of notices is not being lived up to. No newspaper can have a bona fide circulation until it has been regularly published at least three months, and the kind of a paper that the Register is would not have a bona fide circulation even then. It is just such spurious publications as these that make it so difficult for newspapers with bona fide circulations to exist in the city of Seattle. If the Rigester would charge a living rate for those notices and get only half as many as it does, it would do better than it is doing by charging nothing, practically speaking, and thereby filling its paper up with them. ITEMS OF INTEREST There are now 60,000 volumes of French poetry in the Paris national library. Musicians in Boston are not allowed to play on the streets nearer than within 300 feet of any business house. Thibet, the Asiatic desert, is larger than France, Germany and Spain combined, and has a population of 600,000,000. The engines of a first-class British man-of-war, according to a late compilation of figures, cost about £175,000, or $875,000. During the past year the Chicago postoffice did business which passed the $7,000,000 mark. This was a gain of a million dollars over the previous year. It is proposed by railroad men to build an electric railroad between Rome and Naples. If built, the line will be 133 miles long, the intention being to furnish rapid transit between the two historic points. Irrigation in Siberia is being recommended by the leading Russian authorities, and millions of roubles will be expended with the next few years toward irrigating the vast deserts of Siberia. This has been brought about by the building of the railway across the Siberian territory to the ocean. Prof. Young, an Englishman, estimates that a train to travel from the earth to the sun at forty miles an hour would take it about 265 years, and the fare would be £250,-000, or $1,250,000. The Duke of Arbuzzi, of Italy, is trying to form plans to explore the South Pole. He proposes to start from Buenos Ayres in a ship that will be specially built in Italy after his own plans. He has already selected his crew. Dr. Chas. F. H. Wilgohs, of Akron, Ohio, has recently celebrated his 97th birthday. He is still in good health and attends to his patients, often visiting them at night when called upon to do so. He is a German by birth, and came to this country in 1835. Owing to the fact that blind babies are not received in most of the nurseries in Boston, it is proposed now to establish a nursery for blind children only in that city. They require more care than other children, and matrons do not care to take them. Macaroni, which is made chiefly in Italy, is no longer made by hand, according to the British consul, but by machinery, and about 70,000 cases of macaroni are annually exported to England and 500,000 cases to the United States. Count Henry De La Vaulx, a member of the Aero Club, of France, has beaten the world's record for long distance ballooning, he having used a balloon in traveling from Vincennes to Kieu, Russia, 1,300 kilometres (812 1-2 miles), which he made in twenty-four hours without any mishap or accident. A stingless bee is found in Sinaloa and Tepic, Mexico., whose honey is in great demand, being of a dark color, very liquid, and is said to crystalize. The peculiarity of the honey is that it has a decidedly sour or tart taste, and on this account is sought after as being a greater delicacy than the sweeter honey of the tame bee. According to a report from the chief of police from New Orleans, the cocaine habit among the citizens of that city is being practised to an alarming extent and is daily increasing to such an extent as to menace the public health. It is hoped by the chief to stamp out the evil the same as the opium habit in this section is being stamped out. A late dispatch from San Domingo reports the following new cabinet formed by the Haytien government; Minister of the interior, Senor Hernandez; minister of foreign affairs, Senor Henriquez; minister of war, Senor Cuello; minister of finance, Senor Brache; minister of agriculture, Senor Despradel; minister of poses, Senor Joubert. The peanut crop of the United States amounts to 5,000,000 bushels a year, allowing 22 pounds for a bushel. About $10,000,000 worth of peanuts are consumed yearly, either in the natural form or in candy. The shucks from these are used for feed for pigs, and the vine as fodder for mules. Vast quantities of peanuts are annually shipped to London and other European countries. In Charles City, Iowa, recently, a Mrs. Chas. Palmer, a mute, died at the room of her mother, from quick consumption. This woman, who had not spoken for fully thirty years, summoned up all her strength and articulated somewhat brokenly but sufficiently plain to be understood by her mother, who received from her dying daughter the message that all was well with her and she was ready and willing to die. The Washington City authorities have received a report from the Philippine Islands to the effect that there are now 30,000 lepers on that island. Surgeon Eddy, who is in charge of the army there, says that leprosy was introduced into the island in 1633, the Emperor of Japan sending 150 lepers as a present to be cared for by the Catholic priests. These were allowed to land, and as no methods were adopted to prevent its spread, there are now no less than 30,000 lepers on the island. This government will take some steps toward colonizing them and preventing the further spread of the disease. Tacoma boasts of a woman, a Mrs. Margaret Allen, who is 102 years old, and has seen a part of three centuries. She was born in the latter part of the eighteenth century, lived through the entire nineteenth, and is still in fairly good health at this beginning of the twentieth century. The battleships that are to be built by the government, the contracts for which have already been let, have been secured by the following well-known ship-building contractors: Fore River Engine Company, Quincy, Mass., two unsheathed battleships for $6,810,000; William Cramp & Sons, Philadelphia, Pa., one sheathed battleship, one sheather armored cruiser, and one unsheathed armored cruiser, $11,270,000; the Newport News Company, of Newport News, Va., one sheathed battleship, one sheathed armored cruiser, and one unsheathed armored cruiser, for $11,253,000; the Bath Iron Works, Bath, Me., one sheathed battleship, $3,590,000; Union Iron Works, of San Francisco, Cal., one sheathed armored and one unsheathed armored cruiser for a total contract price of $7,550,000, and Moran Bros., Seattle, Wash., $3,600,000. SEATTLE FORGES FORWARD. SEATTLE FORCES FORWARD. Seattle has accomplished another great feat in its strides to attain greatness in the municipal world. The subsidy for the relief of the Moran Bros. has been raised, and raised in a remarkably short time. The contract for the building of the great man-of-war has been signed by Robt. Moran, the head of the firm of Moran Bros., and with these details settled, Seattle is destined to be one of the great cities of the United States, simply because the financiers of the United States have been impressed and convinced of the fact that Seattle's citizens are made of that plucky business enterprise that is to be commended most by business men and men seeking investments. The mere fact that Seattle has been awarded the contract to build one of the government's big men-of-war would have advertised it no small amount throughout the East, but when her citizens arose to the emergency and contributed from their private purses $100,000 to guarantee its being built in this city, it was that kind of an advertisement that few other cities of the United States have ever as yet had. No wonder the Tacoma Ledger has remained silent regarding the awarding of the building of this great ocean craft to a Seattle firm and the princely donation of Mr. Carnegie to the Seattle library, because from an advertising standpoint it means the complete overshadowing of Tacoma and her interests in the East by the Queen City of the Northwest.

Phone Green 1821 Speaking about the next United States senator from this State, a number of daily as well as weekly newspapers of the State have already nominated the Hon. W. L. Jones, of North Yakima, who is now a member of the Lower House of Congress, for that honored position. Congressman Jones would not make a bad United States senator, and this is evidenced from the fact that he has made a most able as well as efficient congressman. The voters of this State are very loyal to Mr. Jones, and have twice honored him by electing him to the Lower House of Congress by overwhelming majorities, but the Pie Maker does not believe that he will be a candidate for the United States senatorship in 1903, unless it is a dark horse candidate. If after weeks of wrangling between the avowed candidates no agreement is reached, perhaps Mr. Jones's name would act as a splendid compromise for the disgruntled Republicans in both factions, but it is hardly probably that he will be a candidate for the United States senatorship in the sense of the word of an announced one for the same. Mr. Jones has political sense enough to let well enough alone, and in view of that, under no consideration, in the opinion of the Pie Maker, will he permit his name to be used as a candidate to try to succeed Senator Geo. Turner, should the Republicans control the legislature. Just now, no one save the Hon. Levi Ankeny has announced his candidacy for the place, and it is more than likely that Mr. Ankeny will regret the fact that he so early announced his. Better let one campaign get thoroughly digested before another is sprung, or those seeking positions at the hands of the voters will find that the voters will most likely consider them political sore spots. * * * Though no one save Mr. Ankeny has announced his candidacy for the United States senatorship, it begins to look as though there were certain men in the State of Washington that either have political ambitions themselves in that direction or else have friends whom they propose to push to the front, if one is to judge from the various newspaper changes that are being made at present. One of the men who is getting a corner on the daily newspapers of this State is the Hon. S. A. Perkins, of Tacoma, who was for a time private secretary to Mark Hanna while Mr. Hanna was making the 1896 campaign for the election of Wm. McKinley as President of the United States. *** Mr. Perkins owns at present the Tacoma News, also the Tacoma Ledger, both of which papers are in most excellent financial condition, and are paying their owner a handsome dividend on the money he has invested in them. Not satisfied with what he has in this direction, Mr. Perkins has recently purchased the Everett Independent, and proposes to put in an all-around, up-to-date newspaper there. He has secured a press franchise from the Associated Press, and will receive the same class of news as do the other leading daily papers of this State. This means something, and it means that Mr. Perkins will be quite a figure in coming political campaigns, for no man, who has a controlling interest in so many daily papers, and these in such distant sections of the State as are Tacoma and Everett, can but wield a most potent influence in the political affairs of the State in which he resides, and his favors will be courted by the leading politicians in all sections of the State. Who Mr. Perkins will favor for United States senator from this State is a secret that he himself has not divulged as yet. In the past he has been quite friendly to ex-Senator John L. Wilson, but whether or not he will be his friend in the future remains to be seen. Certain it is HOUSES AND LOTS FOR SALE AND TO LET WHALLEY & EASTMAN PHONE MAIN 611 5-6 COLMAN BLD. 17 Per Cent.

SHERMAN, CLAY & CO 711 2FED AVE. that Mr. Perkins will not favor a Stattle man, unless he himself is permitted to name such Seattle man. It would thus appear that the political affairs of this State are becoming quite complicated and the outlook for the election of Mr. Ankeny is not so favorable as it was a few months ago, for neither will Mr. Perkins nor the Wilsonites favor the election of Mr. Ankeny, and with the two against him he can hardly expect to succeed. But as said last week, there is a heavy political undercurrent running in this State at present. *** The Pie Maker notes with much pleasure a change in the editorial staff of the Shelton Journal, which has been bought by the Hon. J. B. Gunderson, who is a member-elect of the seventh legislature. Mr. Gunderson was also a member of the sixth legislature and wielded quite a political influence in that body. Owing to his large experience in legislative affairs he will be quite a factor in the seventh legislature, and will help to shape the political destinies of the State to some extent. As controlling director of the Shelton Journal, the leading paper of Mason county and that section of the State, Mr. Gunderson will certainly be one of the much sought after men among Republican politicians in the future. For a number of years he has taught school in that county, and is said to be one of the ablest teachers in the State. He is an able and forceful writer, and will be quite an acquisition to the newspaper fraternity and the political slate makers of this State and section of the Northwest. The city of Spokane is shaping its political affairs for another municipal campaign, which is to take place in April of the present year. Mayor Olmstead has decided that he will not stand for the mayoralty nomination again, and this has caused a number of well-known business men and politicians from the Republican side of the house to shy their castors into the fight with the hope that they will return to them after many days, bringing a mayoralty nomination for the third city of this State. For a general thing, Spokane's mayoralty does not have much political significance in the elections, for they are generally business men selected by business men, and supported by business men, and elected by business men. They can not be said to belong to any faction or click that may exist in Spokane county or Spokane city, for the factions get together and name some good pushy business man who will work at all times for the interest of the city without regard to faction, and then elect him. This is done to avoid factional complications that would arise from a political standpoint in selecting the mayor, and thus cripple the financial growth of the city, which, to say the least, is a very wise conclusion of the whole matter. Spokane is, however, overwhelming Republican, and it is believed that the Republican convention will nominate a man that will be elected at the coming municipal election there. *** Olympia is the Mecca for all politicians at present, and they are heading that way by the dozens and scores to be present at the opening of the seventh legislature. While there is nothing of importance outside of routine legislation to come up before the next legislature, with the bare ex- ceptions of re-districting the State both congressionally and legislatively, yet those politicians who make politics a business seem to think that some point advantageous to their faction can be gained by posing as lobbyist before the legislature for their particular faction. The most important thing that the seventh legislature, from a political standpoint, will do, will be the selection of a speaker. The Pie Maker notes that the factions among the Republicans art pitting the respective candidates against each other in this contest, believing that if their candidate be successful, it will aid them in the future efforts to rule the politics of the State. Of course there will be some advantage to be gained in the districting of the State for the election of three congressmen, for to have this or that section favor a certain man for United States senator or for governor, or some other position of honor and trust would mean that it would have pull enough to have the districts made to suit it. Then there is quite an advantage to be gained in the legislative districting of the State. If a certain faction has sufficient strength in the legislature they can district the State so as to put certain prominent men in this or that district and thereby cripple their influence, prevent their being elected to the legislature or even naming a man that could be elected. For an example, it is said that Senator Willshire favors the districting of Seattle so as to legislate the Hon. Ed. B. Palmer, who lives in the same ward as does Mr. Willshire, into a country district, which, if successful, would be the means of preventing Mr. Palmer from ever again turning Mr. Willshire down, as he has done in the past two elections. There is much talk of some gerrymandering for the express purpose of benefiting that man, who has already announced his candidacy for the United States senatorship, but perhaps this is political clap-trap. *** The Pie Maker was informed one day this week by a gentleman who seems to know whereof he speaks, that Mayor Thomas Jefferson Humes has announced his candidacy for the collectorship of customs at Port Townsend. If such be true, it seems that Humes has been able to read the handwriting on the wall, which is, that he is soon to be politically dead; that is, that he will never again be elected to a public office in this city or county. While the salary of Mr. Humes, as mayor of this city, is only $3,000 per year, and the salary for the collector of customs $5,000 there is no doubt that it pays Mr. Humes much better to be mayor of Seattle than to be collector of customs at Port Townsend, but he wants to get out from under the falling fabric and, it further means that he has no longer any senatorial aspirations, and that he is perfectly willing to boost for Levi Ankeny and Senator Foster, if they will only get him this federal office. It is very evident that to hold office, with Mr. Humes, is a mania. He seems to be totally unqualified to do any other kind of work but hold office, and the Pie Maker is of the opinion that if he does not get this office he will be an applicant for some other, so that he may continue to hold office, when he can no longer be elected to an office. *** Senator George H. Baker, who has been slated by Senator Foster for the position of United States marshal of this district, is making a hard fight, it is said, for the place, and believes that the president will appoint him to the position as soon as Marshal Ide's term expires. At present Mr. Baker is state senator, and he is also national committeeman for the State of Washington and on the most friendly terms with Senator Foster, all of which would seem to indicate that he has smooth sailing for the position he seeks. It will be remembered that Mr. Baker voted first, last and all the time for the election of Addison G. Foster to the United States Senate, and now that there are no differences between Senator Foster and Mr. Ankeny, their political interests being identical, they can both work for the naming of Mr Baker without any clash of interests Moran Bros.

War to the knife between the gamblers of this city has broken out, and it is very evident that within a few days more gambling in this city—that is, open gambling—will be a thing of the past. As usual, the gamblers did not know when they had a good thing, and began wrangling among themselves. It appears that one faction of the gamblers are protected by the police, while the other factions are persecuted by the police. It is but natural that Chief Meredith would protect his former employer in the tenderloin district, and also protect his former employer's friend, the Clancy brothers. A combination has been formed with the Clancy brothers and the Monroe faction to rule the big rake-off gambling games of this city, and the police seem to have been given a side rake-off from these games to not permit others to be run in the city, hence the big racket among the gamblers at present.

Marie Corelli's "Sorrows of Satan," dramatized, will be played at the Seattle theater January 17, 18, 19 and a Saturday matinee. No modern writer's works have been more widely read than Marie Corelli's, and it will be a rare treat for her reading admirers to see the same dramatized. At the Seattle theater Sunday Monday and Tuesday, January 13, 14 and 15, will be that well-known and ever popular Casino review, "The Belle of New York." After the play has been seen by one-half of Europe, part of Africa and all of America, it is pretty late to attempt any description of it or to do more than re-introduce it as an old friend and welcome it back. "The Belle of New York" ran for nearly 200 nights in the New York Casino, and enjoyed an unprecedented run of 697 performances at the Shafterbury theater, London. Upon its return to this country, it returned to its old home on Broadway and did a remarkable business for three weeks, when it was necessary to take it off owing to previous bookings. It is at present on a triumphal tour in America, and it is assured a rousing welcome when it reaches this city. PERSONAL Mrs. J. E. Hawkins is visiting in Portland.

What the outcome of the trial will be I do not know, but, it seems to me, if there is any justice, the man should be hanged for the murder he has committed." Mrs. Con A.

She Gets Good Gifts Both from the Government and Andrew Carnegie for Her Push and Pluck—Things That Have Transpired During the Seven Days Past. It seems that Seattle is not to have a second telephone system after all. A few days ago the city council passed a franchise ordinance for a second telephone system to be placed in Seattle, but this did not meet the approval of the mayor and a few of his close partisan friends, and so his honor vetoed it. As an excuse for this, he pointed out a few defects in the franchise that were not worthy of consideration, and if worthy of consideration, the defects could have been readily patched up. The fact of the whole matter is, Mayor Humes and Councilman James seem to have had another company in their minds, which company they favored over and above the company favored by the council. Madame Rumor has it that if the mayor and Mr. James can have the company they favor granted a franchise, that those two gentlemen will not need to have to work very much more in the future. As to this The Republican has no knowledge nor care, it does, however, believe that it is the duty of the city council and the mayor regardless of personal interests, to grant either one company or two companies a franchise the right to inaugurate new telephone systems in this city. This should be done as a protection to the citizens and the tax payers in Seattle who have been imposed upon by the present telephone company in a most shameful manner. CARNEGIE'S LIBRARY GIFT. That all Seattle is jubilant beyond expression over the princely gift which has been tendered to the city by Andrew Carnegie, the many times millionaire, is mildly putting it. The citizens of Seattle, who are characteristic for their energy and pluck, which has developed what is known as the Seattle spirit, are doubly grateful for this beneficent gift on the part of Mr. Carnegie, and as a result, Seattle will in the near future have one of the most magnificent public libraries that is to be found on the Pacific Coast. Public men have peculiar ways of spending their accumulated millions, and the peculiar way that Mr. Carnegie has of spending his is to endow libraries in large cities, for the education of the reading public. He has endowed more libraries than any other man in the United States, if not in the whole world, as his gifts cover both continents. $200,000 for a library in Seattle, a city situated in the extreme Northwest of the United States, with a population at greatest not to exceed 90,000, is a princely sum, and it shows that the great financiers of this country realize that Seattle is to become a second New York, and that it is to become the gateway of the West of this great country. DYING RICH A DISGRACE. Speaking about Mr. Carnegie and his donation for a Seattle library has prompted the following figures concerning his spirit of donation from time to time. In 1898 he gave away to public institutions $5,000,000, while his gifts for 1900 only amounted to $2,000,000. This, however, does not include the millions of dollars that he has given to his employees in the shape of a raise of wages and presents on holiday occasions. Mr. Carnegie has said that, "To die rich is to die disgraced," and has always stated that he intends to give away his entire wealth before he dies, unless such a misfortune should overtake him in the near future. At present he is worth about $200,000,000, and to give this away he must begin at once to give much more lavishly than he has in the past. Andrew Carnegie came to America from Scotland in 1845, and was worth at the time but $50, which sum he borrowed from his uncle in Scotland, and in a half century or thereabouts he has accumulated $200,000,000, and should he live a quarter of a century more and give twice as liberally as he has in the past, his estate would be worth at least a billion dollars, so rapidly is it growing at present. Constable L. Mathews fell dead last Tuesday evening at the corner of Second avenue and James street, as he was waiting to take a car for his home. Mr. Mathews was a well-known G. A. R. man, and had a host of friends and acquaintances in this city. LORD ROBERTS HOME. The English people evidently appreciate the work of Lord Roberts, who has so faithfully led the armies in the South African war, and this is shown from the fact that he has returned to London to "come up higher," and also from the brilliant and apparently heartfelt reception that has been so liberally accorded him by the people, for the people and with the people of England. Lord Roberts did good work in South Africa, and it is more than likely that the English armies that are now contending with the Boer guerrillas would like him to be with them now that the good work might continue; but he had a long siege of it, and the English people, desiring to show him their public appreciation of his good work, asked that he be returned, at least for the time being, which was done, and his arrival in England evoked one of the greatest public demonstration that has even been seen in London. Prior to his arrival in London, he was made commander-in-chief of the British forces, which makes it impossible for him to ever again appear at the head of a fighting army in person, as the position he now fills gives him the general oversight of all armies under the English flag.

She Gets Good Gifts Both from the Government and Andrew Carnegie for Her Push and Pluck— Things That Have Transpired During the Seven Days Past. It seems that Seattle is not to have a second telephone system after all. A few days ago the city council passed a franchise ordinance for a second telephone system to be placed in Seattle, but this did not meet the approval of the mayor and a few of his close partisan friends, and so his honor vetoed it. As an excuse for this, he pointed out a few defects in the franchise that were not worthy of consideration, and if worthy of consideration, the defects could have been readily patched up. The fact of the whole matter is, Mayor Humes and Councilman James seem to have had another company in their minds, which company they favored over and above the company favored by the council. Madame Rumor has it that if the mayor and Mr James can have the company they favor granted a franchise, that those two gentlemen will not need to have to work very much more in the future. As to this The Republican has no knowledge nor care, it does however, believe that it is the duty of the city council and the mayor regardless of personal interests, to grant either one company or two companies a franchise the right to inaugurate new telephone systems in this city. This should be done as a protection to the citizens and the tax payers in Seattle who have been imposed upon by the present telephone company in a most shameful manner. CARNEGIE'S LIBRARY GIFT. That all Seattle is jubilant beyond expression over the princely gift which has been tendered to the city by Andrew Carnegie, the many times millionaire, is mildly putting it. The citizens of Seattle, who are characteristic for their energy and pluck, which has developed what is known as the Seattle spirit, are doubly grateful for this beneficent gift on the part of Mr. Carnegie, and as a result, Seattle will in the near future have one of the most magnificent public libraries that is to be found on the Pacific Coast. Public men have peculiar ways of spending their accumulated millions, and the peculiar way that Mr. Carnegie has of spending his is to endow libraries in large cities, for the education of the reading public. He has endowed more libraries than any other man in the United States, if not in the whole world, as his gifts cover both continents. $200,000 for a library in Seattle, a city situated in the extreme Northwest of the United States, with a population at greatest not to exceed 90,000, is a princely sum, and it shows that the great financiers of this country realize that Seattle is to become a second New York, and that it is to become the gateway of the West of this great country. DYING RICH A DISGRACE. Speaking about Mr. Carnegie and his donation for a Seattle library has prompted the following figures concerning his spirit of donation from time to time. In 1898 he gave away to public institutions $5,000,000, while his gifts for 1900 only amounted to $2,000,000. This, however, does not include the millions of dollars that he has given to his employees in the shape of a raise of wages and presents on holiday occasions. Mr. Carnegie has said that, "To die rich is to die disgraced," and has always stated that he intends to give away his entire wealth before he dies, unless such a misfortune should overtake him in the near future. At present he is worth about $200,000,000, and to give this away he must begin at once to give much more lavishly than he has in the past. Andrew Carnegie came to America from Scotland in 1845, and was worth at the time but $50, which sum he borrowed from his uncle in Scotland, and in a half century or thereabouts he has accumulated $200,000,000, and should he live a quarter of a century more and give twice as liberally as he has in the past, his estate would be worth at least a billion dollars, so rapidly is it growing at present. Constable L. Mathews fell dead last Tuesday evening at the corner of Second avenue and James street, as he was waiting to take a car for his home. Mr. Mathews was a well-known G. A. R. man, and had a host of friends and acquaintances in this city. LORD ROBERTS HOME. The English people evidently appreciate the work of Lord Roberts, who has so faithfully led the armies in the South African war, and this is shown from the fact that he has returned to London to "come up higher," and also from the brilliant and apparently heartfelt reception that has been so liberally accorded him by the people, for the people and with the people of England. Lord Roberts did good work in South Africa, and it is more than likely that the English armies that are now contending with the Boer guerrillas would like him to be with them now that the good work might continue, but he had a long siege of it, and the English people, desiring to show him their public appreciation of his good work, asked that he be returned, at least for the time being, which was done, and his arrival in England evoked one of the greatest public demonstration that has even been seen in London. Prior to his arrival in London, he was made commander-in-chief of the British forces, which makes it impossible for him to ever again appear at the head of a fighting army in person, as the position he now fills gives him the general oversight of all armies under the English flag.
