The | | national committee has called Repre- sentative Cushman, a strong campaign- | er, into the doubtful fields of the East, | apparently careless of who shall be lected Governor of this State. So far as anybody tell Roosevelt and Fairbanks may or may not be on the ballot in the coming -elec- tion. Qr I should put it the other way, perhaps—as to whether the names of | any other Presidential candidates will be on the ticket. The national cam- paign is, of course, referred to occa- sionally, but “the election” here means Mead or Turner for Governor. It is a_warm contest. volved ‘a ‘number of interesting ques- | tions, not one of | be lost sight of over night. ‘A ratlroad cummisswnv—\ es or no—overlaps all the | others in" importance.

But another factor has entered into the situation’ since that time which has very materially modified the bet- ting. That factor is the Republican candidate himself. A. E. Mes4d, yer, of Whatcom County, entered the | campalgn as an unknown had not been noted as a State figure. | Geographical considerations and the strong backing "of railroad interests secured him the nomination in that stormy convention. responsible for its action went away determined to move the earth to se- cure indorsement by the people, those disappointed not concealing their inten- | tion to fight. In oné of those “whirl- wind” campaigns which has been on since then the Republican candidate. has developed a quality not suspected even by some who thought they knew him. He has proved a good vote get- ter. Judge Turner can always draw and entertain a crowd. He has been very busy, talking day and night, until in- terrupted by a physical breakdown. And now that the campaign is fairly coming down. to the wire the betting, of which there is a great deal, is even. The betting is being exploited by partisan newspapers and cam- paigners of both sides as a sure sign they will win, PRELIMINARY BATTLES. There are thirty-two counties in the State. Of these thirteen when hold- ing their Republican conventions pre- liminary to the State convention nomi- nated their county ticket and com- pleted their work looking to the fall Ielectlon, Nineteen held conventions after the State convention, and it was at these that the strongest expression was given by the people of the farm- ing sections as to how they felt on the Rallroad Commission question.

Former State | this | 1 strong railroad center, who has ‘&enruor Stanton Warburton: of eit; ays led the fight for a commission !and most any other fight against the jrailroads, has taken the stump for Turner. Many other influential Re- publicans have announced an inten- | tion to vote for him. All this is to indicate.the very se- rious defection that the Republicans will have to meet in their calculations for suoccess, and also to explain why it is generally conceded’ that, however | the election. results, a law providing |for a Raflroad Commission will be | passed next winter. Such has been | the popular clamor and its results. The statement is made by Democrat and Republican alike, and where by the latter it is of course a concession of |‘Republican error. But here comés ‘(he Republican campaigher to make capital out of ‘the situation. He calls back to their allegiance the dissent- érs of lis party iest the election of | Judge Turner should,defeat their pur- | pos the purpose of the Republican part; to put a Railréad Commission \L\\\ on’'the books. He puts it this way:. Should the Legislgture be Re- pubhc.m which in all likelihood it will be, and - the -Governor Democratic, Uhu the Legislature weuld. not feel | like putting into the hands of the Governor siich x-o“ er as goes with the appointing of such a commission. That | this argument is expected to have weight is- shown in the very general ‘use that is being made of it. But_ the Democrats have hopes con- | cerning the Legisliture themselves. Judge Turner has not been speaking fcr himself alohe on his, daily rounds, | but with strong -appeal for Tom, Dick | and Harry, Democratic candidates in | their - respective legislative districts. the Legislature by any For should | chance' be Democratic Judge Turneér would .. be’ made §enator—and that's what he wants to be made.

But he, misunderstood Seattle. Realizing his error Wilsori moved over to Seattle, secrificing Spokane, of course, and the affections. 'of Tacoma; some of which he. had won, in order- to’go down to Olympla next wintef as a man from Seattle. . - OTHERS WANT TOGA.. o But there are other men in Seattle who have lived there longer and who have never flouted .her as Wilson has dorie once or twice. “Sam” Piles, a Icng-time candidate, an accepted rail- road man, seems to have the backing this time. Jacob Furth, banker and capitalist, is also spoken eof. Spokane will offer from east of the mountains’ William Swéeney, a wealthy miner, to be there in case neither Tacoma nor Seattle can securg enough votes. But Senator Foster has his own no- tions and a multitude of friends, the prestige of a successful term; he is a diligent man as well at home as at Washington. He is going about over the State, not saying much for pub- lication, but making friends. These say for him that the game ishis.’ Former Senator Wilson is actively in the campaign, both through the me- dium of his newspaper and on the stump. A little slip in a report of his first speech as published in his own newspaper has been the occasion of a good deal of amusement to’ onlookers, as It gave his enemiesa club they have used effectively. He had been speaking of Judge Turner and referred to him as having made a certain speech to se- cure for Seattle the contract for buik ing the battleship Nebraska, “but not, he sald, “for the consideration of $500,” as had been the case when he spoke in behalf of a certain commission bill. In the report of the speech in the Post- Intelligencer the word “not” was left | out. Democratic papers that same day took it up under full-page headlines, the shipbuilders were interviewed and entered an emphatic denial, Judge Turner wase telegraphed and his de- nunciation of the charge as a lle was spread over the front page in fat type, all befére Wilson could himself correct | of its own that seat. | diaates. gram to Judge Turner pointing out the error. Altogether, it will be seen, no man may lay the charge of apathy against the State of Washington. Interest has been keen from the beginning in the local campaign and this will'carry with it the national ticket—a reversal of the order of such things in Presidential years, as Is this time to be seen in many States. The registration has been large and announces a very gratifying increase in population in all the cities and through- out the State. ‘Washington is one ot those States that vote as they please, so to speak.

He had suffered four days from a severe case of grip,~ complicated’. with extreme weakness. The scene at the bedside, when it was apparent the end was near,. was most affecting. The Arch- bishop was conscious and his last words were this ° prayer, ln- a very feéble voice: 55 “Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us ‘sinners now at thke hours of our death, amen.” He then kissed a crucifix and, with .a peaceful smile on his face, breathed his last. . William Henry Elder was one of the most distinguished prelates of the Ro- man Catholic church in the United States.. He was a descendant of an old Maryland family. During the Civil War he was mldu- -ous in his attention to the wounded and dying soldiers on both sides, He also won popular admiration during the ‘yellow. fever epidemic in 1878. ‘While ministering to the stricken vie- tims_he was himself taken down with the disease, from which at one time he was reported dead. ‘When. financial troubles beset the late Archbishop Purcell of Cincin- nati in 1880 Bishop Elder was ap- pointed his coadjutor, with e right of succession, and upon Archbishop Purcell’s death he succeeded ‘to the ‘see, July 4, 1883, and was invested ‘with the pallium December 13.

LODI, Oct. 31.—The largest hall Lodi hds proved too small to house half the citizens of this city and the surroun< ing country who tried to crowd into * to-night to hear Congressman I, €, Needham discuss the issues of the campaign. Hundreds who coutd nut gain admittance waited about the door for more than two hours in or- der to have an opportunity to shake the popular Congressman’s hand after the meeting. Congressman Needham spoke of the | Philippines, the isthmian canal, tariff and the question of the irrigation, and he challenged a fair considera- , tion of these questions” He said that cool, sober thought given to the situa- tion could lead to but one conclusion in the mind of a sane man—that the Pepublican party in its stand and in its platform represents the country. Congressman Needham won bursts of applause and excited roars of laughter by his presentation of “the Democratic case.” the local candidates for office and the Republican nominees for State Senate and Assembly. Each speaker was ¢ in- terrupted time afid time again by cheers, and after the meeting a vol- | ley of cheers .was given that could be heard throughout the city. classed as a stalwart Republican State, yet it twice elected John R.

Dr. Gibney said Miss Warren was under such a great mental strain that he advised her to answer only enough questions to enable the Coroner to complete his report. He denied that Miss Warren had said that Miss Dol- | beer had been insane for three years, that she had been under treatment for mental weakness, or that she was dis satisfied with social conditions in San Francisco.

By the light of the burning robe-de-nuit she chased him through the street in the dead of night with a butcher knife, and the court agreed with him that this was cruel. Held told Judge Allen that one right he went home a little late and crawled meekly into bed, thinking himself safe, but the lady of the house sat up and called him to order. ‘He was unable to establish a proper defense, and with a blaze of wrath and a candle she touch- ed off his slumber robe.

Rae, engineer in chief of the navy and chief of the Bu- reau of Steam Engineering, in his an- nual report made public at the Navy Department,” says that the present en- gineering condition in the navy is a “cause of grave anxiety to all conver- sant with the subject.” He presents statistigs showing the scarcity of en- gineering officers in the navy to-day and urges special legislation with a view to increasing the number of naval officers available for engineering duty. Of the turbine experiments he says: “With the prospect of turbine engines in naval vessels in the near future, the bureau is confronted with the problem of designing screw propellers of a suit- able form.to run at much higher speed than have been used heretofore. The first requirement of the case is a mass of accurate data, which can be ob- tained omly by testing propellers in a suitable tank designed for the purpose, where the speed can be perfectly con- trolled and the action closely watched.” He further says it is the bureau’s de- sire to start as soon as possible tests with turbine machinery. _——— Fall hats, 1904, just arrived, nobbler than ever.

The engineers refuse to accept the 5% per cent reduction In wages which the miners have agreed to. The strike affects about 50,000 work- men, but the operators are confident that manv of their mines will be run~ ning within a few days. — — W0 REPUBLICS N PEACE PACT France and United States Soon to Negotiate a Treaty of Arbitration WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.—France and the United States expect to begin the negotiation of an arbitration treaty in ‘Washington soon after the Presidential election. - The treaty will be knowa as the Hay-Jusserand treaty, and, accord- ing to the present programme, will fol- low closely the lines of the British- French arbitration treaty. Some time ago the French Govern- ment, through its Embassador in Washington, informed Secretary Hay that France was readv and willing to conclude such a convention whenever it was the pleasure of the United States. In view of the fact that the elections were coming on the Washing- ton Government expressed its thanks for this renewed evidence of friendship on the part of the French republic and intimated a desire to open negotia- ations this winter. ‘Widespread interest has been aroused throughout the diplomatic corps by the announcement of Secretary Hay in his recent New York speech that the Gov- ernment hoped soon to begin the prep- aration of arbitration treaties with all countries willing to sign them. There is already evident among European diplomats a keen desire to take the lead in this movement. It is pointed out that while there are few questions of importance pending between this country and France, the | negotiation"of an arbitration treaty at a time when the diplomatic horizon is so clear will insure an early copeclusion of the convention. It is belleved that Italy will be found favorable to the negotiation of arbitra- tion treaties with this country, and also Great Britain, though in the case of the latter country it is expected that the initiative this time must come from the American Government. ——— PARIS, Oct. 31.—Owir . to the dis~ turbed condition of Morocco, the French Government is sending rein- forcements of men to the frontier and is holding ready two warships to go to ports in the disturbed district.
