Tuooma, Wash., July 2. For an act of heroism iu Having some women and children from the fury of a oiad bull, John Christer will probably lose his life. Seeing the bull making for the women, he rushed up to head him off. Tho bull turned on him, hia horns catching Christer ou the right aide of hiH abdomen, ripping it open to the left aide. He waa rolled aud tossed by thu mad auiiual with hia entrails pro truding. The lust part of the euoouu ter was witnessed by several mini who rushed iu and bore Chriator out of the Tauoma driving park,,iu the west eud, whore it occurred. Hu waa taken to the Fuuniu Paddock hoxpixtul, where thu protruding bowels were replaced. Thu man is unknown, and ia too weak to talk, though ho recovered conscious ness at 1 P. M. If iuftamniation seta in ho will die. The Tauoma Land Company haa floated 1,000,000 of lHinda in Phila delphia, with which to purchase from the state and till iu for shipping, man ufacturing and railroad purposes the most important part of thu Tacoma tidu flats. The money will be avail able as soon as the bouils can be issued, aud the improvements will begin at ouce. The city waterway leading to the south end of the city will be dredg ed to a depth of twenty-live foet at low water for the accommodation of large ships; the earth taken out ia to lie used to (ill iu the flats. On one aide of the channel the company will build, at once, a 20,000-con wheat warehouse, to accommodate the increasing grain business. This warehouse will in crease the city's grain storage capacity of 5,000,000 bushels. Another pro jects 1 improvement is the building of a 1,500-barrol (por day) flouring null on the water front to supply the Orien tal trade. Manager I. W. Anderson, of the laud company, returned today from a two mouths' trip to Philadel phia and New York, where fiuauoial arrangements for the - improvements were made. The land company's 1,000,000 hotel here, now two-thirds built, will be completed so as to be opened in June, 1807, to aocWimodnte the growing tonrlnt travel to this sec tion. . .

Philadelphia, July 2. The Press will say tomorrow: Withiu the past few days Philadelphia has been flooded with copies of a letter, bearing a for eign postmark and containing a mys terious attack upon Governor Hastings. It is learued that many copies of this letter have been received in other parts of the state. It was written by Major William H. Hastings, who left here last February in a peculiar manner, leaving more thau a suspicion in the minds of many of hia friends of an impaired mind. The letter, ostensibly addressed to his brother, the governor, but which he has apparently mailed to every one whose name he could pro cure, makes a demand for 33,000 claimed to be due him. The demand is accompanied by statements so vile and indecent that it would be impossi ble to put them in print and are suffi cient to show the diseased condition of the mind of the writer. No Work for Them. Lincoln, Neb., July 2. Deputy La bor Commissioner Bowers is in receipt of a communication from L. ii. Pow ers, commissioner of labor of Minne sota, stating that conscienceless em ployment agencies throughout the country are sending men to Minneapo lis to work on the Mississippi dam, now in process of construction near that city. Mr. Powers says that while there are places for 2S0 men ouly, there are above 3,000 applicants and that only such men are taken as are residents of St Paul or Minneapolis aud must have the backing of some al derman. Powers also directs attention to the fact that these same agencies are sending men to Chicago to work on the canal near there which is a vain effort for there are already on the ground 100 men to every job. The Minneaaota la bor commissioner invites the co-operation of the Nebraska conimisnion in eradicating the evil. denounced the Deb. Decision. Indianopolis, July 2. Over 200 workingmen gathered at Mozart hall this evening for the purpose of giving formal expression to their feelings toward the decision of tbe supreme court of the United State in the Del case. McBride, of the American Fed eration of Labor, spoke, and a aet of resolutions condemning tbe court waa adopted. THE POLITICAL HONORS. None of Those lle.lowed bv fjiieen Vic toi'lu of KiigUml.

Curzou, the uewly ap pointed undor-secretary of foreign af fairs at Southport iu the liberal in terest. Tho Times says that Sir Graham Bower has been appointed governor of Finland. Loudon, July 2. Thu Times this morning, in an editorial commenting upou the baronetcy conferred upou Mr. Naylor-Lelaud, decluros it is gross abuse of thu crown prorogartive that such an apostate should be singled out for honor by the queen's responsible advisers. The Daily News, thu liberal organ, makes a special point iu its edi torial for Lord Rosvbery appointing now peers as being probably the fulfill ment of old promises. Mr. Naylor-Lulund's wife was Miss Jennie Chamberlain, daughter of S. S. Chamberlain, of Cleveland, Ohio. SIGNED BY ALTGELD. Tho Illinois Hill Kelutlna; to News paper Libel Springfield, 111., June 27.

The large dynamo was started and run at full speed all yes terday aftennoon 250 revolutions a minute. Upwards of 8,000 horse power was developed aud the full limit of 6,000 horse-power might have been produced ouly for the fact that some parts of the machinery are not yet com pleted, and it was thought best not to put ou the full load.

Some Interesting Facts Not Known at Home. 1 UNCLEAN AND HKKM - LADKNEli Chinos. Waar. Ilelng Largely Con sumed In Oregon and Washington That 'Are In fit for I.e. . t Portland, Or., Juue 2(1. The steam ship Tacoma arrived at Victoria re cently from Hong Kong, China, with tho latest Oriental advices aud reports the plague ii- that uufortuuate oouutry again ragiup violently. It ia aaid by natives from' Auioy that this awful pes tilence has suddenly broke out iu the Tunguu district, China, with terrible violence, 40 per cent of thu inhabitants actually dying of the disease aud few escaping thu sickuesa. Those who are able to leave are doing so ouly to carry the plague elsewhere. Referriug.to thu report a well-known business ma l stated to the press repre sentatives U night that the Tuugun dis trict is one f the sources of supply for raw sugar I ir thu Hong Kong sugar refineries and as largu quantities of these sugar were shipped to the Do minion of '.Canada aud the United States that the people hardly appreciate the frightfnl resuls that might fol low the introduction of the plague into America through the use of unclean merchandise. Iu view of all this a recent article published iu a leading coast paper which dealt exhaustively with the sub ject is of general interest aud is produced below. After some general remarks on household economy this stated: TV i. KIQ. 1. The principal sources of sugar supply are the refineries situated in the differ ent parts Of the United States; but a very large portion of tho stock that is manufactured by these refineries is im ported from , Germany, the Sandwich islands and the West Indies. Another point of kmportance for refined sugars is China!, 'fcxit the sugars from that country are i!y jrd, tu 'any quantity on 'thu Pacific1 coast. ' Not less than 1,500,000 was sent to China for sugar oousumod on the Pacific cost during the year 1894, and the business threatens to increase. Now there are two very important factors to the development of this Western oouutry. Tho first is to pro duce those articles that are iu demand, aud which can take the place of im ported products for which our money has to be sent away. The second is to encourage the population iu our imme diate section to consume those articles that are produced as fur us possible ou the coast. There are several Btigar factories iu California, .doing a large business. In 1804 they spent for labor aloue 500, 000. While there is room for other factories, there is plenty of Bugur here co supply the demaud; and the import ing of Chiua augurs has been carried on simply because there is a tendency on the part of our own peoplo, consum ers aud merchants, to buy the cheapest artiole that is offered, irrespective of quality. We do not think the con sumer is altogether to blame for this. The retail grocer takes that sugar which will afford him the greatest profit. Unless the consumers are watchful, they cannot be Bure that they are not eating sugars that are manufactured by the cheap coolie la borer of the Orieut, where hand labor, though nasty, is so cheap that there is no iuducement to use machinory. Cus tom house figures absolutely show that there were imported iuto the Portland and Port Townsend (Oregon aud Wash ington) district iu 1894, 11,000,000 pounds of refined sugars from Hong Kong, aud all of this sugar was ban- FIU. 2 tiled in a surreptitious way by our re tail grocers (for our wholesalers will not buy it, the retailer getting his sup plies direct from the importer' brok ers), and sold as American sugars. Ask any grocer if he handles Chiua su gars, aud he Will answer "No." What has become of the 11,000,000 pounds iniprted? It probably goes without laying that the hotbed for the development of all ' kinds of horrible, loathsome human diseases, the cholera, smallpox, leprosy, etc. In one " instance, iu 1892, the steamer Palmas, which brought 2,000 to 3,000 bags of China sugar to Vic toria, had smallpox ou board, and I there were later case of the same dis ease among the stevedore who helped to discharge the vesaeL In 1894, the great sugar refineries of Hong Kong were compelled to cease operations for lack of labor due to the plague, and now we are told that the black plague ha broken out thi spring. In view of the introduction of quan tities of Chinese sugar, it may be as well that the public i informed on the very highest possible authority, of the danger that may be attendant upon . their use. Professor Cameron, public aualyaist, Dublin, gentleman who ha ' made it hi special business to examine ! -11 rif fiirolM, .nu.t. fl tlAi and other, say that certain kind of them should Sever b used, lit state that 111 ' aa l-l - they contain great uumliera of disgust ing iusccU, which produce dlsgustiug disease. Their shape i very accurately shown Iu the aooompuuyiug cut, which is niaguifled 200 diameter. Figure 1 ii the under side and figure 9 the up per. The professor' description is a follow: "The insect (the aoaru laochari) i a formidably organized, exceedingly live ly aud decidedly ugly animal." Probably enough haa been said here to awaken some interest in thinubject, and it la hoped reader of this artiole will stipulate when they order sugar that it la produced ou the Pacific coast, and ahow that thuy want sugars made by home refineries, which employ white labor only. Statistics show that this country ha sent abroad iu a single year 110,000, 000 for sugar alone, or a per capita con sumption of 07 pound. Of this iin mousse consumption 1,700,(11)5 tons were foreign sugars, aud yet it has been asserted by oue of the most prom inent meu connected with this business that California alone, if thu interest were propeily developed, would pro duce enough raw beet sugar to supply the dumaud of the entire United State. What a boon it would be to Oregon if we could locate iu the central portion of our territory a refinery for making beet-sugar. PREPARING FOR WAR. The Japanese Favor Resisting Rus sia's Claims. Port Towusoud, June 29. Accord ing to the story of the Rev. L. B. Wor cester, of Tabor, la., a missionary who haa just come over from Japan on the steamer Chittagoug, the Japanese are actively drilling and preparing soldiers for war. The sentiment for! resisting the claims made by Russia iu compel ling Japan to forego any jurisdiction over Manchuria, was fast orystalizing among the middle classes. The Japan ese, Mr. Worcester says, to a mau, favor war with Russia before being compelled to surrender the fruits of her viotories over China. At Osaka, a large garri son of troops were concentrated, re cruited aud actively drilled. Every thing indicated that the Japanese were quickly preparing for war. When the news came that three Euopeau powers had united in the dumaud to Japan to relinqish her claims to territory on the mainland, the populace became fur ious. The government realizng the danger, quickly threw a cordon of po lice around all foreign legations, and it was several days before the resentful sentiment subsided. Over in Corea, the officials seemed to be trying to dis card Japanese influence and curry fa vor with Russia Japan, however, threatened to administer strong mili tary control, and a small-sized rebel lion was choked off iu its infancy. - NT -FOREMAN , -KILLED.: Two Kx plosions of Gaa In s Coal Mine at Franklin. Seattle, June 29. Two explosion of gas occurred within short intervals at the Oregon Improvement Company' Fraukliu coal mine this afternoon, causing one death aud injuring eight other men. The morning shift, in the new slope being driven from the sev enth level to connect with the sixth level of the main slope, had quit work at 2:30 P. M., after firing two shots, and reported that there was no gas. The 3-o'clock shift had nearly reached the face of the slope on its way to work when au explosiou occurred, and five men were burned and came out to go home. They sent for P. B. Robin son, the pit foreman, who immediately went to the Bone of the explosion. He had just picked up a door which had been blown down when another explo siou ocourred. It throw the door down, breaking Robinson's arm, injur ing his spine aud seriously burning him about the head and face. He 'was car ried home and died at 7 o'clock. He left a widow and four children. Three meu were badly and five slightly in jured. The list of the iujnred is as follows: Charles Johnson, W. P. Johnson and Charles Anderson, badly injured; Al fred Linquist, August Johnson, Charles Leaner, Paul Boyd aud W. H. Cleaves, colored. From Ocean to Oeean. Washington, July 1. Superintend ent Duffleld, of the coast aud geodetic survey, said today he was hopeful that the present year would see the oomple tion of the work of triangulating the country from ocean to ocean, which has been uuder way for some time past. The party for the Rocky Mountains left early in the season, and is now iu Colo rado. One result of the work will be to definitely establish distances. The general added: "When it ia done we shall know how far it ia from the Alan tic to the Pacific oceau." The party that is engaged in deter mining the exact boundary line be tweeu thu United State and British territory in the Northwest is expected to be able to report material progress at the end of the season. A Denial From Iepew New Vork, July 1. -Ohauuocy M. Depew, who, it ia rumored, is about to marry again, met some reporters this evening aud made the following state meut: "The story ia made out of whole cloth. I do not know of any young lady worth 8,000,000 who would have me. No less than four times recently have rumor hud me engaged to marry. aud the moat estimable young ladies mentioned would no doubt have con fcrred a great honor ou me had the ru mor been true. They were not, how ever, and I do not think any such ru mor at auy time will be substantiated." From the Cltj of Mesleo to Tampleo. Tula, Mex., Juue 28. The Mexican Central Railroad Company baa decided to build a short line connecting the City of Mexico with Tampico. The line will start at Tula and follow the valley of tbe Panuca river all the way to Tampico. At present the route be tween the City of Mexico and Tampico is via San Luis Potosi. The engineer of the company are now employed in running the surrey of the Aew line. It will reduce the time between the City of Mexico and Tampnoo to ten hour. ( BOTH STAGES HELD UP The Robber This Time Makes a Double Play. LAW-MAKER AND LAW-BREAKEK Representative ilatei, Under Duress, of Course, Helps th. Lone Highway- . man In His Work. Ashlaud, Or., July 1. The loue highwayman, who has been indus triously plying hia vocation ou the stugo route from Agor, Cal., to Klamath Falls, just over the Oregon line, iu a series of robberies, now hat five holdup to hi credit executed dur ing the past three months, having made a double play last night, robbing both the east and west-bound stage. The east-bound stage left Ager in the afternoon at the usual time, and when the drivers were changed at Klamath hot springs it wa 9:20 o'clock, and a shower of rain bad fallen. One passenger was aboard, H. V. Gates, a member of the Oregon leg islature from Washington county, aud bound for Klamath Falls on business. Nothiug happened until the stage bad climbed a long aud tortuous grade, aud wa nearly a mile beyond, wheu, at a quarter to 1 o'clock, a command came from behind a tree at the aide of the road to halt aud throw out the mail saok.

Amateur detectives have worked on the case for some time, but bo far have been unable to obtain strong enough evidence to connect the mau whom they suspect with the crimes.
