Tacoaa, Aog. 11—{Special.}—C. B. Tal
bot's schema to famish the city with pare
water came before the city council again
today, this time on Mr. Talbot's reply to
tbe •tatements of aon-fesaibiiity made by
City Engineer Morrison. Talbot's report
la tuned to indicate that the city engineer
doe a not know very marb abowt the aab
)ect. He doubted the »\OUU.tM) galWn
daily flow estimated by Talbot. Taibot
secured letters from H. G. Katep, of the
hestUe department of public work*,
and Andrew Gtbaon. who baa been
in and about tbe Stampede tunnel for
eight years, to show that tha flow ia there,
and especially that the flow ia grester,
from 90 to 60 par rent, greater, in winter
than in tbe mootha of Joly and August.
Tha most important statement made by
Talbot ia a warning to the city council
that, oelog to tbe condition of tbe iron
and steel market, bia propoaition wilt ba
withdrawn Inside of forty days. While
tha propoaition baa been ander considera
tion, tba price of Iron and ateel has ad
vanced sufficiently to make a change in
tha cost price of pipe ol over 17,000. When
it cornea to a question of water, Mr. Gtb
aon writes tbat tbe ways of Taeoma people
ara past finding out. Mr. Talbot shows
tbat tha cedar proposed for some parte of
his conduits is to co*t a third more
and wilt last three times as long aa
any other wood conduit obtainable, Mor
rteon having spoken slightingly of tha
cost of cedar flame*. Tbe attractive feature
of tha Talbot scheme is to famish water
power for tbe electric light ststion, mak
ing a saving of 977,000 a year, and 911.000
per year for pom plug, besidee, owing to
the great pressure, making Taeoma a city
of the first class as regards fire Insurance
rates and curtailing tbe Are department
expanses. Mr. Tslhot proposes to baild
the new plant for 9*141,000, about half of
which is to be paid from the water ex
tension fond and tha balance to be earned
in savings by tba new works. The report
was referred to tha light and water com
mittee.

UIALAMLA, July 29.—{Via Port Towns
nd. Aug. UL {—The sealing fleet from the
eoaet of Japan is beginning to arrive here.
The eeHooner Louis Olsen, with 1,180 skins,
arrived today, having called at Atter isl
and and sold the firearms. The crew are
armed with spears, and are nearly aa good
adepte at killing seals as the native bunt
era. Prof. A. & Alexander, of the fish
commission steamer Albatross, will go
Into Bertag eea on the Oleen to obe«rve a
practical Illustration of white hunters
sealing with Indian spear*. Prof. Towns
end, also of the Albatross, haa been on the
e*al islands s*v*ral w**ks gathering data
and photographing the rook*ri*«. Both
scientists, who have been atudying the
eeallng question for ysars, aver that
th* seal herds are becoming deci
mated every year. They were
much surprised at th* scarcity of th*
animals this season. The promiscuous
alaughter of the femalee in past year*
have played havoe with tn* herds. Al
though the seals are exceedingly ecaroe
the North Amariean Commercial Com
pany will have no trouble in eecuring th*
allotted number of stuns allowed by the
government.
Capt. Williams, of the Louie Olsen, says
that several veeseis from the Japan aea
have entered Bering sea. Borne of the
sohooners got consular permission and
others called at Attio Island and wsre
boarded by a revenue officer. Now that
the see is fairly open the msn-of-war as

to hunt seals with fire arms.

laaae Burn*' Holy ft rath.
Isaac D. Burns, a chronic jail bird, who
is so abandoned that he was recently
drummed out of the Salvation Army, was
arrested on a charge ot larceny nig tit be
fore last on complaint of an old man
named Oiltemor*. It was shown in the
municipal court yesterday that Burns
took possession of some chattels of Ditte
more at the City Mission, and held them
until threatened with arrest, when he en
tered into a contract to bny the goods.
As he refused to make any payments, the
above action was taken. Owing to the
contract, the charge of larceny cooid not
be established, and Burns was set at lib
erty. Upon being released he made a
great show of indignation, and rushing
about the court room, called out in a
tragic voice: "Show me the man who ar
rested me!" Officer Peer, standing near
by, promptly displayed his star, and
Burn*, promising to make him pay for
the impertinence of placing a free-bom
citisen in durance vile, hastened to Mayor
Phelps and clamored tor the officer's in*
slant removal from the force. As Burns
has paid the penally for nearly every
crime catalogued at the municipal court,
it may be judged how the mayor received
bim. Burns was arrested ou the last
charge by Capt. Hogle.

The Rainier hotel will soon be a thing
of the past. To a PoeT-I?fT*txieKs« era re
porter las: night De L. Harbaugh, the pro*
prietor, said that the furniture and other
belonginrs wooid be moved to ths Grand
hotel jast ss soon as the proposed im
provements wsie finished. Sew tiling will
be pat in the office and corridor, and the
dining room will be msde about three
times ss large as at present. Mr. No res,
the owner, will spare neither pains nor
expense to make the hotei second to none
in the Northwest.
When asked why the chanfe was to be
made Mr. llarbaogb said the distance to
the Rainier wae too great from the busi
ness portion af the c»ty in winter, and the
hotel having been put uo in sixty days
was disagreeable in wind storms. "It
seems too bad to leave the house," be
sa:d. ** as it has world-wide reputation of
having as fine a view from the porch as
any hotel on earth. One reason why lam
leaving ia that extensive repairs are
needed, and the times are too quiet to war
rant the proprietors of the property in
making them."
