Moore and G. B. Ki'henator Thomas W. Ferry, of Michigan. cousin of Governw Ferry, was present at ceremonies, having come all the way from Michigan.

Senator Ferry was president pro tern of the United States Senate and acting vice-president after the death of Henry Wilson in IH7B. He occupied at that time a conspicuous place in national politics. He was subeequently defeated for re-election as senator. He is about 60 years of Mge. and seems destined to live many yet.

C. P. Ferry, of Tacuina, cousin of the governor and brother of Senator Ferry, was also present. Among those present was ex-Senator Conover, of Florida, now a resident of Port Townsend. The King county delegates, in brand new silk hats, were conspicuous among those on the platform.

The Taroma troop of cavalry will be enlisted in the National Guard as soon as the complement of the militia can be increased by the legislature. The pioneers of Washington were met here only for the purpose of taking part in the inauguration. The weather, while not pleasant, was not too disagreeable for comfort. The sun came out and cleared the sky at the opening of the exercises, a most auspicious omen for the destinies of the new state. The clouds thickened again this afternoon.

The people of Olympia have done everything in their power to accommodate the crows of visitors; nevertheless, many people were without beds last night. Many excursionists left on this afternoon's steamers and trains, but most remain for tonight's reception and dance. The citizens' committee made timely arrangements and furnished a free lunch at Firemen's hall. Its well-epread tables accommodated 500 persons. This provision was fortunate, restaurants and hotels throughout the city being crowded beyond their capacity to accommodate.

The stars and stripes floated throughout the city during the day. Hereafter the Olyiupia and Tenini trains will run twice every day, including Bundays, both ways, From this circumstance the assemblage today was larger than it otherwise would have been. During the parade the horse of Lieutenant Hatfield reared, and losing its balance fell over backwards. The lieutenant leg was quite severely injured, but no serious consequences are anticipated from the accident. Governor Ferry tonight sent the following dispatch: Oiram, Sot.

There was a ride bullet hole through the body, a gunshot wound in the same place, and his shotgun, with one barrel discharged, was found across his breast, evidently placed there to convey the idea that he had shot himself. The old man to supposed to have had irnne money in the house, for which he was doubtless murdered, as the house was ransacked from end to end. Two men who were camped near, and who disappeared at the time of the murder, are suspected of killing Marr. Cue of these men is known to the neighbors, and diligent search is being made for him. It to not known that Marr, who was a bachelor, leaves any relatives.

I'obylavd, Nov. survey of the mouth of the Columbia river, to ascertain what changes have been made by a jetty being built, has been completed, and the notes are being worked up. Following is an eitract from the report of the engineer in charge.

Major T. J. Handbuiy, to the chief of engineers: "Very great changes have taken place in the bar the survey in 1885. At that date the crossing of the bar had a width of channel of one and a quarter miles. Now they have equally good water for five There has been a gain also of available channel depth of from one to two feet.

Indications are that the best water will be found directly out over the middle of the bar. The jetty is undoubtedly producing this result, and I have every confidence that after the neat June rue of the river a well-definea channel of at least twenty-six feet will be developed.

1889. THE EVE OF BATTLE. Confidence in the Camps of Squire and Allen. NO OPPOSITION TO ALLEN. A Guerilla Warfare Kept Up Squire.

Without Will Ba DMC Today. OLYWMA, SOV. The Senatorial battle is raging at its height, for this is the night before election. By a joint resolution passed last Tuesday it was deckled to vote in separate houses for United States ators on Tuesday, November 19, and then on succeeding days, if there is no choice for one oar both, to proceed in joint convention to make selection of So tomorrow is the great day that is expected to decide the fate of the six or more anxkms Senatorial aspirants. Friends of the various candidates are working with ardor which indicates that the week's trace which closed last night only added to their enthusiasm.

All the candidates are again In the field, General Sprague. the last to arrive, having come in on last night's train. Olympia was last night shut off from the outside world, and the fact that the fight had been renewed with greater vigor and determination than ever necessarily could not be dispatched. Every train and boat today and yesterday brought in of political workers and friends of the candidates, and Olympia is full to overflowing. So ardent is the canvass that a member of the legislature whose position on the question of the hour is at all in doubt cannot appear on the street without being besieged by enthusiastic partisans, who volubly present the of one or another of the aspirants for senatorial honors.

There has been no important change in the situation for the past twenty-four hours. Indeed, there has been none for the past week. The friends of Governor Squire set to work with renewed zeal this morning, and there was instantly perceptible a strengthening of his lines and a consequent air of fuller assurance on the part of his followers. The day's work has reulted in the accession of several votes to Squire's strength, and from surface indications it appears that he is stronger tonight than he has been at any time since the beginning of the session. Friends of the other candidates, of course, keep actively at work, and are loud in their claims, but an impartial observer cannot fail to conclude that Squire has a long lead when it comes down to a question of votes.

The opposition to 6qaire still continues the tactics which have marked its warfare for the past week. The air is lull of stories damaging to the candidacy of the ex-governor, and these invariably bear the earmarks of common origin. The frequency with which such stories are started, and the persistence with which they are repeated, sufficiently explains their animus. The latest story is to the effect tbat a grand row has taken place in tbe King county delegation, and that its members are at sword's points. It is scarcely necessary to say that this story is both untrue and ridiculous.

The King county delegation has been entirely harmonious from the first, and there is no ground whatever osa which to base an assertion to the contrary. This story is, however, but a sample of those which have been set afloat almost hourly, with the evident intention of injuring Squirs'a canvass. The fight for the senatorship from the eastern ride of the mountains attracts less attention than that for the place from the west. Juge Turner still poses as a candidate, but everybody realizes that the fight against Allen is altogether hopeless. Turner claims forty votes, but at most it is not believed that be can mnster over sixteen.

Those conceded to him are: Spokane, Okanogan, Yakima, Kittitas. Klickitat, 2, and it is not known where he can get five more votes. It is questionable if Brent's names will ever be presented. Though the ex-delegate has never attained the reputation of giving up until he was absolutely beaten out of sight, his candidacy now is wholly nominal, as he has been understood for more than a week to bave formed an alliance with the Turner forces for the supposed purpose of benefiting the latter. So far as known, just two members have expressed a public preference for Brents, Herren.

of Lewis, and Owings, of Thurston. Whether or not they will vote for him it another thing entirely. Sprague's candidacy enjoyed a little boom to-night, when tbe Tacoma band marched up and down the streets, headed by a transparency, "Sprague for Senator," and a number of howling Tacoma men firing rockets and makirg all tbe noise of wnieU a noisy crowd is capable. This afternoon after tbe review the Tacoma cavalry rode around to the Carlton and gave three for the aged general and then dispersed. There is a story in connection with this that 5s a little interesting.

It has been claimed all along by the Thompson men that Sprague was not the choice of the Pierce county people, though the delegation was in favor of htm. This baa. of course, been denied bv the people. Now, a jfrreat crowd of Tacouia including Ben Everett and many others, is in Olympia, attending the inaugerml ceremonies. it was proposed to how the people of Fierce stood on the question, and the band and cavalry induced to make a demonstration in his favor.

Sprague claims fort- -three It ii pretty clearlv understood now that vote for senators will he taten separately. The explicit on this point, in that li provides thai the legislature shall proceed to rote for "a senator, and the provision is construed to mean th two cannot be balloted for at one time. It has been feared that under this arrangement a serious com plication might arise, in that every member womd rote for the first choice, and the result would be a test of strength between the othtr a conflict brtween and candidates interests are really identical. There little doubt, however, Uaat ail em rnent wiil avoided when a ballot taken by a tacit understanding that one or the other of the leading shall be voted for on nrst ballot, and then another ballot aui be taken on which the ether candidate wiil be taken up. han arrangement wiil be will arise dimply because it wiil be the beat way out o( the difficulty.

reesore has been made by Turner's friends to induce him to withdraw from the contest before defeat, bat the judge is and awe running head square again the sotid wail of A den's strength Alien wiil have somewhere between esjrhty and ninety sotes en the badoL Hss actual strength Is possibly not so great, but when fifty -three have been secured there will be a -tarnpods in his duecuoa, those who hold him seconu choice. casting their ballots for and changing to him. The situation is the same with Governor Sjuire. When he reaches he w.il of have won victory, and ti.en nearly everybody will be for him. The statement was made in certain am- papers that 8.

C. Hyde. of Spokane Falis. bid mat teiezrams to the East claiming that be had the support of both Alien and Squire for the appointment as United Staten judge. TVs assertion is being dustrioualv repeated to embarrass the relatioos aI Alien and Squire.

Mr. Hyde tonight stated positively that anther Mr. Squire nor Mr. Alien has ever or Indirectly promised to support him Sor the position of federal judge or any other office, and that ha has never so stated. There is some speculation as to what the Democrats wiM do in regard to the senatorship.

They will doubtless rote for a Democrat on the first ballot. Voorhees, White. Griggs, Sbarprtein, Sena pie and Gnffiue, ail being favorites. There are not many Democrats in this legislature, to be sore, bat if the tight should chance to be dose their action might hare much influence on the result. If they bare an opportunity they will scatter among the Republican candidates according to individual choice.

Finally summed UP, the situation is as follows: Squire's opponents, Sprague and Thompson, are no nearer a settlement of their differences than in the beginning of the canvass. Many overtures have been made by the Thompson men to the managers of Sprague's canvass, but the have been uniformly repulsed. The withdrawal of one or the other is lixeiy only in case of a prolonged fight, and then neither would retire until he saw clearly and irredeemably thai he bad no chance. The attitude of Sprague has left Thompson with no ground to upon, and w.th no definable following. Sprague has sis Republican votes from Tacoma and other strength that cannot at the outside number up entire more than twenty.

if Thompson were to secure a like number from the doubtful members and from the few scattering votes he is acknowledged to possess, Squire would still have sixty-five votes, but the assumption that his strength is so great is baseless, for the lowest estimate of Bquire's strength has been higher than sixty-five. How either of the Tacoma candidates expect to win is altogether too difficult to imagine. Allen against Turner and Brents, with a great minority of votes for the latter two combined, is tbe east side situation in a nutshell. Turner's aspirations have met with discouragements that would have daunted a lees determined man, but he has nevertheless persevered, doubtless the hope of securing sulii cient advertisement to give him prestige in a future contest. Allen's election is everywhere conceded.

The ballot will take place at 12 m. The house will the next day meet In joint convention, and if it is then ascertained thet there is no election for one or two senators, ballots will be taken day by day until a result is reached. There can be but one ballot for each senator to-morrow. THE LKGISLATUKK. Senators Again Sworn Business in Either Home.

Thm Patterned After tke raited ta Saaw asd Form. Rio A SXI EC (via Galveston), Nov.

18. Pedro and the imperial family left yesterday for Lisbon on the steamer Alagos, which was escorted on the Brazilian coast by the Kiachuelo. Senor Hartrocino has been imprisoned for conspiring against the republic. The governors named bv the provincial government are all military men. The denomination adopted by the government for the republic is the United States of Brazil.

The province of Bahia has proclaimed for the republic. Peace and quiet The republic will allow the deposed emperor 800 cantons dereis per annum danng life. Five article? of the government decree are: "The republic is proclaimed. The of Brazil are united by a federation composed of the United States of Brazil. Each state will form it own local government.

Each state will send representatives to a congress which will convene shortly, and the of which the visional government will await. Meanwhile the governors of the states will adopt means to maintain order and protect adieus' rights. The nation's internal and external relations will be managed meanwhile by the provisional government. General da Fonseca, Senator Constant and others proceeded to Petropolia Friday mornmg and informed the emperor he was dethroned. Dom Pedro, supported by his family, received the deputation with absolute composure.

Gene rat da Fonseca was spokesman. He said; Brazil had advanced far enough in the path of civilization to dispense with the monarchy. The country, while grateful to the emperor for his patriotic services, was firmly resolved to recogniae only only a republic. 4 Dom Pedro made a dignified reply. He to abdicate, but said he would yield to force.

The imperial family were allowed one hour to prepare for their departure. WASHISGTOS, Nov. Brazilian minister tonight received two telegrams from Brazil, one from the minister of foreign affairs and the other from the minister of finance. They were simply confirmatory of the reports. Dr.

Valent, Brazilian minister, tonight denied the truth of reports that he had resigned. Rio JANKJKO, NOV, new government has announced that it will lirmly maintain order. It is preparing a circular to foreign governments relative to the overthrow of the empire, wbich will be telegraphed to them through the Brazilian representatives abroad. The province of Bahia has its adherence to the republic. News from the other provinces shows that they are also in favor of a republican form of government.

LOKDOS, NOV. Dispatches received here this afternoon from Rio Janeiro reiterate the statement that the proclamation of the republic met with no opposition. Tbe latest intelligence received at Rio Janeiro indicated Uiat Bahia and Pernambuco were in a state oi revolution. People everywhere are so much absorbed in the new order of things that politically speaking, business la at a complete standstill. There is said to be considerable mystery at Rio Janeiro in regard to the departure of the emperor and his family.

It is asserted in some quarters that he has not yet left the country. Tbe British mail steamer Atriate, from Montevideo for Southampton, is due at Rio tomorrow, and some believe the imperial party will take passage upon that steamer for Europe. Commercial dispatches are forwarded from Brazil to foreign countries without delay. All dispatches, however, relating to the political situation, or giving any iniormation relating to the next have to be submitted to a censor, Tbe result of this is that tbe only intelligence about the revolution which has reached the outside world, except the very meager facta that have got through in commercial in cipher, is that which met the approval of the government censor, A dispatch has been received at the Brazilian legation here in Loudon from Bar boa saying the minister of finance of the new government had directed the Brazilian minister to notify tbe Stock Exchange that all financial engagements entered into by the imperial government will be faithfully observed by the republic Brazilian securities fell 5 per cent, today. It is difficult to etfect transactions.

Nov. was no news at the Brazilian ministry today concerning the recent revolution in Brazil. It is apparent, however, that the Brazilian officials here bare become iinaliv convinced that the empire has been overthrown. In conversation today a prominent citizen of Brazil said he was convinced the men who led the revolution could not retain their leadership. They are unknown to fame and without followers in their own country.

There were two sources open to the revolutionists, lhey might perceive their own weakness aftd call a convention, which would bring together the rea(iy representative men of the country, and this convention would naturally consider the problem of providing a satisfactory form of government, and settle the question aa to whether Braid is yet ready for the republic. or whether the imperial family would bettor be recalled, if the present leaders refuse to adopt this course, then they would he obliged to assume more and more arbitrary dire of ailairs, and the result would be a dictatorship. Among navy Hirers no surprise was expressed at news of the revolution. One said thai twenty years ago when he was in Brazil, there was a feeling that when Don) Pedro's reign was ended a rjepubhean form oI government wouiu instituted. Lieutenant who recently returned from thecha which has come to j-ass was openly talked of among Brazilians as probable to occur, and they st any time.
