Monday 943 names were recorded, sod dur- ing the eighteen hours the office wis open yesterday 1.200 were registered. The heavi- est previous registration was on February 31, IW*J, when *2O names were recorded. It was after 2 o'clock this morning when the corps of clerks In the city hall com- pleted the count. Some of the precinct footings will be subject to change by the transferring of names. This, however, will not affect the ward or grand total of regis- tration. The first name recorded on the opening day of registration is M. B. Harden, of First precinct. First ward. The last name, recorded at 11:45 last night. Is S. G. Mo- il ngo. Fourth precinct of First ward. At midnight the office was clear of appli- cants. The greatest rapid registration wan don* yesterday, when 102 n«m« were tccorded In Ihirty-eight minutes. The old days when the notorious F rat ward held the deciding vote In most mu- nicipal elation* arc gone, which is Riven to account for the falling off In the reg- istration of that locality of late year*. Jn IffiS and IWM the First's Importance wan at it* height. and the ward exercised an much leverage on the result of the local election as New York formerly did In national election*. An the First went, no the city went. A measure of this Im- portance waa existent In the Fourth and Fifth wards, and remains to an extent today. This Is taken as the reason for th»* heavy registrations of 1H92 and 18W, when the totals of names on the books was 10,- MO, there helm? a difference of only two name* between them. Apart from this purely local Interest of six and eight years ago, when every voter wan rushed off to the registration hooks, there has not been such a general Interest in a lo- cal election as that of this year, as the number registering for the spring elec- tion of IHW was only 8,375, and two years Hgn only 7.660. The total of this year, when compared with these figures, shows the concern th« voters have In the result of the balloting of next month.

BKKDK, a pioneer theatrical manager of the Pacific coast, died yesterday at his home, 1011 Tester way. of cerebral hemorrhage. Mr. Heede was i>6 years of ago at the time of his death. Mr. Beed* was born In Farming ton. Me. At an early age he came to California with hi* family. His father was a cattleman, and Mr. Beede's early life was devoted to the business of cattle buying. In I*7l he married a daughter of Judge John Newton, of Kankakee, 111. .Shortly after his mar- riage he entered the theatrical business as manager of a theater in San Francisco. Kighteen years ago Mr. Heede came to Puget sound. Hie first local the- atrical venture was the managemc nt of Frye's opera house. Later he built the present Third Avenue theater. That was immediately after the .Seattle fire. He sold this theater to John F. Cor dray, 'of Portland, and built the present Madison street pavilion, where he conducted a vaudeville show for some time. Then he opened business in the basement of the Butler hotel, under the name of "beede's Cafe," a name which will be recognised by every per- son who lived in Beattle immediately subsequent to the fire. The panic of 1199 brought financial reverses to Mr Beede, and he failed. In IKiM he went to San Francisco and opened a restaurant at the Midwinter fair. After the fair he went to Denver and remained th« re until 1597, when he returned to Seattle. Since his return to this city he has had several the- atrical troupes on the road, but he was engaged in no bus.n* ss at the time of his death. Mr. Beede leaves a widow and three children. His daughter is Mrs. A F Withers, of this city, and his sons are (Seorge X. Beede and Sidney Beede, both of whom also live here. His father, aged f'l, is -till living at An- ttoch, Cal. koii Judges J. H. Donlhue, Aug. Rrwen- bersc F'fth pret incit Inapector, K R Mn«on.

No progress wa? mad** yesterday by the Democratic and nonpartisan committees in their attempt to bring about a combin- ation of tickets. The Democratic city committee met last night in the office of James F.

The nonpartisan committee is planning a Populists and Silver Republicans com- bined. As to the nonpartisan*, there now seems little probability that Candidate Cottenll will be asked to withdraw. The nonparti- san managers take the position that by their record In the past they are barred from a combination with the Democrats under the part}- name of that organization. This, they say, would be plain partisan- ship. to which they are opposed. RED CROSS CINCH PARTY. Two llnndred Women Participate In an Enjoyable Afternoon nt the Rninfer-firnnd. The parlors of the Rainier-Grand hotel presented a pretty appearance yesterday afternoon. Tne occasion was a progressive cinch party given by the Red Cro«s Soci- ety to replenish the hoepltal fund. The five large parlors on the second floor, the use of which was donated by the proprie- tor of the hotel, were thrown into one large hall Fifty progressive tables were set. and all were occupied. Two hundred women were present. In the main parlor was a large table containing the twelve prizes for which the contestants were striving. The collection, composed of silverware, cut glass howls, ostrich fans and such articles, contained several valuable pieces. The party lasted until after 5 o'clock. It was the first of a series to be given by the society to aid in caring for two sick soldiers who returned from the Philip- pines in an infirm condition. The hospital fund was depleted by contributions to the Carbonado relief fund, and it is, therefore, necessary to raise more money.

M Robtneau. foreign correspondent of I,e Matin, of Paris, who is touring Ameri- ca on matters appertaining to the exposi- tion and other b isiness, arrived here last night and registered at the Butler. He says the eyes of all France are turned to- ward America, and that If It was not for the fact that Paris is about to open an exposition, continental Europe would be involved In a bloody war. "While the South African war Is com- manding a good share of our attention, we are much Interested In the attitude of the l T nited States in the same matter," he said. "Frenchmen believe that the masses In this, the greatest of all repub- lics, are In sympathy with the Boers. Whether the official expression as Indi- cated in favor of England is political or with a view of future strengthening. Is a matter the French press Is devoting much space to. "England will eventually whip the Boers, but the powers of the world have had their eyes opened. They realise now that England has been resting on her past record. Brought face to face with white men she has lost her prestige In official continental circles. Europe is now asking the question, 'Can England, with her 600 and odd ships of war. do better battle on the sea than on land?* The words of Prince Bismarck, uttered first in lS7fi and reuttered In lxM, 'Great Britain will yet meet defeat at the hands of the South African republic.' Is about to be realized. 1 mean that the South African war is the lirst step down the ladder of fame for the United Kingdom. India will crime next. Then will follow many other of her colonics in a bloody struggle for liberty. "With Kngilsh power witl wane English commerce. Today in the city of Paris American business houses are taking the place of Kngilsh. The latter are pleased to sell ow, for Knglighmen in our coun- try are not popular. "American commerce T find not only in France, but in all other Euro- pean countries through which I have trav- eled. We want reciprocity, however, with America. Within the past four years France has Increased her consumption of American products several hundred mil- lion dollars, and other European countries proportionally. "The French people are friendly to America. This is a republic and France loves such a government. "As our heaviest imports from this country are agricultural Implements, we am expecting an extra large exhibit of these at our exposition. The American display will he one that not only this coun- try, but France will be proud of." BABTRRN FARMKKH AHKIVE. Northern PnelHe llrtna* Thirty Who Are Seekin* Homes.

Percy having resigned his of ce and moved from the city, the matter of making an appointment for the posi- tion by the remaining members has Wen discussed the last two days. It Is understood Mr. Percy was a Dem- ocrat. having been appointed to the of- fice by the governor in the fall of IS9> The prospective appointment has started the various partisans of the several politi- cal beliefs to bestir themselves quite lively, as the fact the appointment was to bo made crime rather suddenly. Party or- ganizations have not as yet materialized In Ferry county, but from present Indica- tions they will soon make preparations for the state fall campaign and presidential election. Ferry county was strongly Popu- llstlc when it was organized, but It has changed considerably In theflast year.

There were two record-breaking daysthli year In the number of voters enrolled.Monday 943 names were recorded, sod dur-ing the eighteen hours the office wis openyesterday 1.200 were registered. The heavi-est previous registration was on February31, IW*J, when *2O names were recorded.
It was after 2 o'clock this morning whenthe corps of clerks In the city hall com-pleted the count. Some of the precinctfootings will be subject to change by thetransferring of names. This, however, willnot affect the ward or grand total of regis-
tration.The first name recorded on the opening
day of registration is M. B. Harden, ofFirst precinct. First ward. The last name,recorded at 11:45 last night. Is S. G. Mo-ilngo. Fourth precinct of First ward. Atmidnight the office was clear of appli-cants.
The greatest rapid registration wan don*yesterday, when 102 n«m« were tccordedIn Ihirty-eight minutes.
The old days when the notorious F ratward held the deciding vote In most mu-nicipal elation* arc gone, which is Rivento account for the falling off In the reg-istration of that locality of late year*.Jn IffiS and IWM the First's Importancewan at it* height. and the ward exercisedan much leverage on the result of thelocal election as New York formerly didIn national election*. An the First went,no the city went. A measure of this Im-portance waa existent In the Fourth andFifth wards, and remains to an extenttoday.
This Is taken as the reason for th»*heavy registrations of 1H92 and 18W, whenthe totals of names on the books was 10,-MO, there helm? a difference of only twoname* between them. Apart from thispurely local Interest of six and eightyears ago, when every voter wan rushedoff to the registration hooks, there hasnot been such a general Interest in a lo-cal election as that of this year, as thenumber registering for the spring elec-tion of IHW was only 8,375, and two yearsHgn only 7.660. The total of this year,when compared with these figures, showsthe concern th« voters have In the resultof the balloting of next month.

GEOFUIE K. BKKDK, a pioneer theatrical manager of the Pacific coast,died yesterday at his home, 1011 Tester way. of cerebral hemorrhage.
Mr. Heede was i>6 years of ago at the time of his death.Mr. Beed* was born In Farming ton. Me. At an early age he came to
California with hi* family. His father was a cattleman, and Mr. Beede'searly life was devoted to the business of cattle buying. In I*7l he marrieda daughter of Judge John Newton, of Kankakee, 111. .Shortly after his mar-riage he entered the theatrical business as manager of a theater in SanFrancisco.
Kighteen years ago Mr. Heede came to Puget sound. Hie first local the-atrical venture was the managemc nt of Frye's opera house. Later he builtthe present Third Avenue theater. That was immediately after the .Seattle fire.He sold this theater to John F. Cor dray, 'of Portland, and built the present
Madison street pavilion, where he conducted a vaudeville show for sometime. Then he opened business in the basement of the Butler hotel, underthe name of "beede's Cafe," a name which will be recognised by every per-
son who lived in Beattle immediately subsequent to the fire.The panic of 1199 brought financial reverses to Mr Beede, and he failed.
In IKiM he went to San Francisco and opened a restaurant at the Midwinterfair. After the fair he went to Denver and remained th« re until 1597, whenhe returned to Seattle. Since his return to this city he has had several the-atrical troupes on the road, but he was engaged in no bus.n* ss at the timeof his death.
Mr. Beede leaves a widow and three children. His daughter is Mrs.A F Withers, of this city, and his sons are (Seorge X. Beede and Sidney
Beede, both of whom also live here. His father, aged f'l, is -till living at An-ttoch, Cal.

one of the main factors In the situa-tlon. however, Is the candidacy of (J.M< ade Kmory for corporation counsel.Mr. Kmory is one of the most popularyoung Democrat* In the city, and hisfriends say that under no circumstanceswill ho be permitted to withdraw from theticket.

As to the nonpartisan*, there now seemslittle probability that Candidate Cottenllwill be asked to withdraw. The nonparti-

EXPOSITION SAVES A WAR.
French Visitor Snym Rngland'i StnrIs Setting?l.ovei America.
M Robtneau. foreign correspondent ofI,e Matin, of Paris, who is touring Ameri-ca on matters appertaining to the exposi-tion and other b isiness, arrived here lastnight and registered at the Butler. Hesays the eyes of all France are turned to-ward America, and that If It was not forthe fact that Paris is about to open anexposition, continental Europe would beinvolved In a bloody war.
"While the South African war Is com-manding a good share of our attention,we are much Interested In the attitude ofthe l
T
nited States in the same matter,"
he said. "Frenchmen believe that themasses In this, the greatest of all repub-
lics, are In sympathy with the Boers.Whether the official expression as Indi-cated in favor of England is political orwith a view of future strengthening. Isa matter the French press Is devoting
much space to."England will eventually whip the Boers,
but the powers of the world have hadtheir eyes opened. They realise now thatEngland has been resting on her past
record. Brought face to face with whitemen she has lost her prestige In officialcontinental circles. Europe is now asking
the question, 'Can England, with her 600and odd ships of war. do better battle onthe sea than on land?* The words ofPrince Bismarck, uttered first in lS7fi andreuttered In lxM, 'Great Britain will yetmeet defeat at the hands of the SouthAfrican republic.' Is about to be realized.
1 mean that the South African war is thelirst step down the ladder of fame forthe United Kingdom. India will crimenext. Then will follow many other of hercolonics in a bloody struggle for liberty.
"With Kngilsh power witl wane Englishcommerce. Today in the city of ParisAmerican business houses are taking theplace of Kngilsh. The latter are pleasedto sell ow, for Knglighmen in our coun-try are not popular.
"American commerce T findnot only in France, but in all other Euro-pean countries through which I have trav-eled. We want reciprocity, however, withAmerica. Within the past four yearsFrance has Increased her consumption ofAmerican products several hundred mil-lion dollars, and other European countriesproportionally.
"The French people are friendly toAmerica. This is a republic and Franceloves such a government.
"As our heaviest imports from thiscountry are agricultural Implements, weam expecting an extra large exhibit ofthese at our exposition. The Americandisplay will he one that not only this coun-try, but France will be proud of."
