NEW TORPEDO BOATS A Boston Iron Works to Build Three of Them. THE OI'HEB BOATS AUTHORIZED Hecratary Herbert Ha. Given luffee tlou.That They Hhall ttm Larger Thau Tbu.a Ordered Built. WiiHliinifKm, April 10. Secretary Horlxirt today ducldod to award to the Columbia irou work a, of Baltimore, the contract for building the throe torpedo boata. The firm wan the lowettt biddor at $U7,000 for each boat They will be built on duMittiia drawn by the navy de partment The competition for thla work waa keen aud brouKht ont bida from all parte of the country, and a xtrong effort waa made to aecure a dis tribution of the contractu and the ac ceptance of original deaigna furuiahed by Nome of the bidden. . This bint proposition waa roforred to a special board, which reported, however, in favor of the duaigna, but favored a dis tribution ao aa to aecure a faster but more expensive boat proposed by the Union iron works, of San Francisco. The lust suggestion waa not accepted by the secretary. The department haa been keeping a watchful eye upon the performance of some of the new English torpedo boats, which have attained the marvolous spued of twenty-eight aud twenty-nine knots au hour, and having disposed of the contracts for throe boata above re furred to, Secretary Herbert has taken up the subject of designs for the other boats authorized by the last appropria tion bill He haa given suggestions that these shall be no larger all aroond than thuir predecessors, which are to be of 198 tons displacement and twenty-four and oue-half knots speed. The new boats for which bids will be asked later on will be of about 180 tons. This is 40 tons smaller than the fastest the English have afloat, yet they will be required to show a speed of twenty- eight knots per hour. In view of the favorable terms secured for these three. boats, just awarded to the Columbia iron works, it is believed that these throe flyers can be built within the ap propriation. ' NEW NATIONAL PARKS. . Main Feature, of tha Chleamauaa Ded ication Decided Upon. Washington, April 16. Secretary Lamont has decided upon the main fea tures of the official exercises authorized by congress in dedication of the Chick amauga and Chattanooga national mili tary park. The ceremonies will begin on the battlefield ot Chickamauga Sep tember 19, and will comprise the offic ial announcement of the opening of the park by the war department, represent ing the government; two orations by speakers of national prominence, and the proper military display. The fol lowing day exercises in continuation of. the dedication, relating to the battle of Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge, will be held at Chattanooga, with a somewhat similar programme. In case of rain all exercises will take place at Chattanooga under a cover of adequate capaoity, which will be pro vided as a prudential measure. The secretary of war will arrange to have all the armies represented in the battles participate in the dedication by set ting apart the night of the 20th to the armies of the Potomao and Northern Virginia. The regular army will be represensted by the lieutenant-general and a detachment of troops. The So ciety of the Army of the Cumberland will hold its regular annual reunion at Chattanooga the evening of September 1 8 preceding the dedication, and to this all official visitors and representatives of other army societies will be invited. Indian In.tllule to Be Held at Tacoma. Tacoma, Wash., April 18. During the coming summer three institutes will be held, by order of the Indian bu reau at Washington, for the purpose of advancing the efficiency of the United States Indian service by bringing to gether the employes of the various In dian agencies and schools. One will be held in Sioux City, Iowa; one at some point in the Indian territory, and a third at the high school in this city. The gathering here will be July 21 to 27 inclusive, and will be especially for employes in the Indian service west of the Rocky Mountains. Among those who are expected to attend are the Hon. D. M. Browning, commissioner of In dian affairs at Washington; Dr. Hall man, government superintendent of Indian schools, and the three supervis ors of Indian schools. Their Title. Defective. Sioux City, la., April 16. Great ex citement has been caused here by the belief among property-holders that titles to all the properties in the busi ness part of the city are defective. Ac cording to the records the orignal plat is situated in section 16, while in reality the town is in section 18. All the descriptions in the deeds of the property are consequently worthless. The trouble is further complicated by the failure of Henry Aldren, the founder of the town, to sign the plat, and the omission of the surveyor, who laid out the place, to survey it to correspond with the government survey. There is talk of an effort by the original owners to force all the present occupants of the property to vacate. An interesting litigation is in prospect A Noted to. Angele. "Fence." Los Angeles, CaL, April 16. John Thompson, an ex-convict, waa arrested late last night on a felony charge of re ceiving stolen goods. Thompson haa been a "fence" for a gang of burglars and thievea for a year. In hia room were found diamonds, gold rings, sil verware and all other kinds of valuable jewelry. A package of melted gold, which he shipped to the San Francisco mint, was the means of locating the stolen goods. The thievea have not been captured. Thompson haa served terms in Sing 8ing, Folsom and San (uentin. Te Be Celebrate la Momv, St. Petersburg, April 16. The cxar haa decided that hia coronation shall be celebrated in Moscow August next HOTEL RAYMOND GONE. The rainoua Paaadena Ho.UIr Waa De.troyed by Fire. Loa Angulua, CaL, April 16. The Holtol Raymond at Pasadena, ten miles from Los Augelua, waa totally destroyed by fire at 8:80 o'clock this afternoon. Not a atick of the famous resort la left The hotel waa crowded with tourists, but they all escaped with their lives, although wardrobes and other posses sions were entirely consumed. The oause of the fire ia not yet known. The Raymond was one of tho most famous health and pleasure retort in tho United States. It was a very Urge structure, built entirely of wood, and was located on a hill commanding a maguifloeut view of the San Gabriel valley. In less than an hour after the fire was discovered in the cupola at the south west corner of the building the huge wooden structure waa level with the ground, and the only thing left standing to mark the spot was the tall brick chimney of the furnace. The fire was discovered at 8:20 by a boy outside, who saw a cloud of smoke issuing from the windows of the cupola on the fourth story. The alarm was at once given, but the flames burst forth before a drop of water could be brought, and the strong wind, almost a gale, which had been blowing all day, carried the flames at an alarming rate. There was no hope for the building from the start. There were about 150 guests at the hotel, 100 of whom wore members of the Car Accountants Association, whose special train stood at Raymond station. The guests acted in an order ly manner, and some succeeded in sav ing a few personal effects, though most of thorn lost everything in the building. No one was injured seriously, but in trying to save something a few were burned about the faoe and hands, ana one guest was well shaken up by jump ing from the roof of the veranda. The electric fire alarm was sounded in each room as soon as the fire was dis oavercd, and in less than ten minutes eirery pers jn had left, except a few men servants, who' tried to save the trunks. The hotel was supplied with fire appar atus, but no one remained to work it, as the heat was too intense. The hotel Raymond was built in 1884 by Walter Raymond, of the Raymond- Whitcomb Excursion company, wnion has hotels in New England and Colo rado also. The oost of the building was almost 500,000, and the furniture cost $50,- 000. The building and furniture were insured for (200,000 in Boston, New York and San Francisco companies. Klkln. ipeak. for San Franel.co. San Francisco, April 16. United States Senator Stephen B. Elkins, of West Virginia, who is in the city, fa vors San Francisco for the next Repub lican national convention. He said: One great advantage of holding the convention here would be the removal of delegates from scenes of former struggles, and there would be a calm ness about it that has not been experi enced elsewhere. It wonld be far re moved from large local interests, and the convention would be comparatively free from pressure brought to bear on all such bodies by local candidates. This pressure always obtains when the conventions are held in the East It is one of the results of large outside dele gations, but, being held here, the dis tance would be such as to preclude the possiblity, in a great measure of such delegations being on hand. A Good Barometer of Trade. Chicago, April 16. More than 200 traveling salesmen have been inter viewed on the condition of the spring trade in the West They are particu larly unanimous in reporting satisfac tory present trade conditions and the moBt hopeful possible outlook for the future. With the exception of Colo rado, Kansas and South Dakota the con ditions average from 1 50 to 250 per cent, involving more than they did last year. Country stocks are depleted, and the low prices of goods, combined with ex cellent prospects, are awakening mer chants to the necessity of increasing both the size and frequency of their or ders. Brltlah Columbia Street Railway Sale. Victoria, B. C, April 16. The Westminster & Vancouver Electric Tramway Company's line, rolling stock and property were gold today by the bond holders.

Twelve of the most dangerous convicts in West minster penitentiary were today trans fered to Stony Mountain penitentiary. The local institution has been over crowded for some time, and as the Stony Mountain penitentiary is much securer, it was decided to send the most dangerous criminals there. Among these shipped were Ben North ern murderer and outlaw, and William Houston, both of whom have life sent ences. They Were McDonald'. Pal.. Pocatello, Idaho, April 16.

WHISKY TRUST'S El Its Property Will Be Sold to I the Highest Bidder. ' t BOTH FACTIONS HAVE CONSENTED i I . Judge Bhowaller, of Chicago, Say. That i the Tru.t Mo Longer Ua. a 1 Legal Kxl.teuce. Chicago, April 15. The properties of the whisky trust will be sold to the highest biddur. Judge Showaltor, of the United States circuit court, in an order isxuod today admitted that the trust had no longer a legal existence. Its board of directors was charged with having doserted its trusteeship; that it had no quorum, and any election of a new, board would not enable it to reac quire the property from the receiver. The court directed that the receiver sell the property, aud"that the proceeds be distributed among those entitled there to." r The attorneys for the Greenhut faction and for the stockholders con sented to the action of the court 'The bill upon which the order was based' bugins with a recital that the last meeting of the board of directors was held February 1. Since the di rectors have abandoned their trust and paid .no attention to its affairs, it claims, the solo management has been in tha hands of John McNulta receiver. The resignation of Nelson Morris left the board consisting of Greenhut, Ho bart, Greene, Freiberg, Hennessy and Begga. April 8, the complainant aver, Hobart, Greene and Freiberg resigned. There are but three directors left, and the bill alleges that they do not consti tute a quorum; that they cannot fill the vacancies. The bill then recites that the attorney-general of the state by quo warranto proceedings, attacked the charter of the trust, and the courts hold that t was forfeited, and the issue is now pending before the supreme court ot the state. The prayer of the bill on which the order was granted by Judge Walter is as follows: "That by an order entered herein the said John McNulta may be appointed receiver of all the property and effects of said defendant company, and in vested with full title thereto as receiv er, and that all of the officers, man agers, superintendents, agents ana em ployes of said defendant company shall be required forthwith to deliver up to such receiver the possession of each and everj part of said property, wherever situated, and also all books and ac counts, vouchers and papers in any way relating to its business or the operation thereto, or an injunoton to restrain each and every officer, director, superinten dent, manager, agent and employe of said defendant from in any way inter- f erlng' with tho possession and control of said receiver over said property, ana that at suoh time as may be found just and proper, the property of said defend ant may be ordered to be sold and the proceeds distributed among those en titled thereto." STILL ANOTHER CURE. An American Remedy for Conaumptlon, Lupoa and Perbap. uaneer. Wiuhino'tan. Arjril 15. United Krnti.a rvinsnl-fteneral de Kav. at Ber lin, believes that an American physi cian has disooverea means oi curing consumption, lupus and perhaps cancer. In his report to the state department he says the coming medical congress is lilrnlv tn crive considerable attention to the discovery made by Dr. Louis Wald- stein, a native of New xork, wnicn is announced in a Gorman medical paper as the extraordinary aotion of minute injections of pilocarpine, a ohrystal ized extract from the Brazilian jabor anrli nlnnr.. into the lvmDhatio system. This acts favorably on patients whom suruin does not cure. Tha trnv tn tha disaoverv is this: Bv successive injections of minute doses of pilocarpine in tho veins ne arrives at a oradnal stimulation of the lymphatic system. That system increases while oorpusouies in tne Diooa, in some way not agreed upon certainly, overoome and Tender harmleHH those noisonous particles in the blood that produce dis ease. Tne discoverer strongly aavises nhvHirtiana to trv rjilocamine in early stages of consumption, and, indeed, in all diseases involving tne lymphatic Rvstem. He has satisfied himself that it forms a trustworthy test for the presence of tuberculosis in an animal. The report closes with the statement that lupus of twenty-two years' dura tion, regarded as incurable, was re lieved immediately after the first injec tion, ana is now almost neaiea. Chicago's Debt. Chicago, April 15. City Controller Witherell denies a sensational state ment credited to him that the city fin ances are about $6,000,000 short The controller says the floating debt of the city is about $4,000,000, an amount no larger than usual for some time past at this season of the year. The tax in process of collection is ample to much more than meet it Each year for sev eral administrations the city has run behind, and perhaps no more the past year than any previous ones. As a re sult of the improved method under the new administration of Mayor Swift, now beginning, it i I expected this will be rectified and the floating debt be nearly, if not altogether, wiped out They Want the Republican Agent. Boise, Idaho, April 12. The delega tion of Indians from Fort Hall called on Governor McConnel today with a re quest signed by 800 of the tribe that Agent Teter be removed and A.

Walla Walla, Wash., April 15. James D. Yeoinaua, interstate commis sioner, has been in the city the past two days hearing the cases against the Union Pacific and the Oregon Railway & Navigation companies. A large number of prominent farmers of Walla Walla and Columbia counties were summoned as witnesses, and testified as to the oost of raising wheat, com pared with the oost of shipping it to Portland. The case of Milton Evans, of this county, against the Oregon Rail way & Navigation Company, waa con cluded this morning. The case of H. D. May & Co., of Columbia county, occupied the afternoon session. There were a large number of prominent rail road officials here giving testimony of the conditions of their roads, the in debtedness, the cost of operating and the gross and net earnings. The rail roads are making a hard fight to retain the present rate for freight The com missioner concluded his labors late this afternoon, and loft on the regular train for Portland. There is abundance of evidence, and it will be some time be fore a decision i rendered. Among the officials testifying today was S. B. Sweeny. He said that the Washington & Columbia River had allowed him from one to ten and a half cents per bushel for shipping wheat over its road. Today he uncovered one of the methods used by the road to induce shipping over the line. The counsel before the commissioner were: W. H. Reed, of Tacoma, for the Walla Walla farmers; George Turner, of Spokane, and R. H. Ormsbee, of Waitsburg, for May & Co., and W. W. Cotton, ot Portland, for the railroads. Both Evans and May claimed that the rate charged them for shipping wheat was excessive. The former shipped a carload to Portland from Walla Walla and tendered the railroad company $2.46. This was refused and the regular tariff rate ot $4.70 per ton demanded. THE NEW OREGON PACIFIC. In Future the Old Road Will Be Known Vuder n Mew Name. Corvallis. Or.. April 15.
