OREGON COURIER A, W. CHKNKT, Publisher. OREGON CITY OREGON FIVE IRE ON TRIAL Alleged Lynchers in Court at Ellensburg. SEPARATE TRIALS NOT ASKED Trial Delayed bjr an Objection to the Sheriff, Who Ii Prosecuting Wit ness, Selecting the Jury. EHensburg, Wash., Sept 18. The trial of Mike Linder, Frank Uebluober, William Kennedy, Frank Fiegle and Robert Linke, the men chared with murder in oonneotion with the lynch ing of the Vinsons, August 14, began this) morning in the superior court, Judge Homes, of Seattle presiding. The state is represented by E. . Wager, oounty attorney, assisted by W. G. Graves, H. J. Snively, Edward Pruyn, J. B. Davidson, Mires & War ner and W. J. Welsh appeared for the defendants. No demand was made for separate trials and all of the prisoners were arraigned together. The jury box was at onoe filled from the regular panel, tweuty-two names being avail able. Nine jurors bad been passed for cause, when the panel was exhausted. Judge Humes annonnoed he would have the sheriff secure fifty names on his open venire, but the defense ob jected on the ground that suoh action ia nnntrarv to a new law. The oourt said he did not believe the legislature contemplated Mocking ana oeiaying the "work of courts, and he was will ing, if wrong in the premises, to let the supreme oourt correct him. The defense then made the point that, as the sheriff is a proseouting witness in the case, having sworn to the com plaints, he is not qualified to select a inrv. The court aooeDted that view. bat promptly instructed the clerk to notify the coroner, who lives at uie "filnm. to make service at the earliest possible moment, and report to the -court at 8:30 o'clock Wednesday morn ing. This action was taken because thA coroner assumes the duties of sher iff whenever the latter, through any cause, becomes disqualified. The oom nlnte -inrv was then ordered to be kept together in the custody of the two balifTs, till reconvening or oourt. The general opinion at Ellensburg is that the alleged lynohers cannot be convicted, says the North Yakima Her ald. The main evidence against some of the prisoners is that, after entering -thejail,- and becoming warm auer their efforts to break into the steel nam. t.hfiv tossed aside their masks. The Herald's informant says it was the intention of the seli-oonstitutea judges and executioners to shoot the Vinsons in the cage, but every time a candle was lighted, so that only tne two Atrainat whom the mob sought ven geance might be hit, young Vinson would dash his blanket against tne grating, and tne ourrent oi air wouia "donee the glim." All this time Vin son knnt nn a fnsilade of onrses. and r - r . - called the mob every abusive name he cflnld lav his tonarue to. and even to the last he showed the same character of courage that had marked him as a desperado, Contracts for Battleships. Washington, Sept 18. Commodore Sampson, chief of the bureau of ord nance, has made a report to the secre tary of the navy on the recommenda tion made by Chief Constructor Hioh hnrn. that hereafter in letting con tracts for the construction of vessels the armor be inoluded in the oontraot It is understood that the report is ad verse to the reoommendation, and that many reasons are given for the belief that the change would be unwise, the principal being the neoessity for con stant supervision on the part of the government to prevent the use of in ferior armor. It is supposed that Sec retary Herbert will take this question up soon with the view of deciding it before the work on the new battleships and gunboats is begun. Alleged Filibusters Discharged. Washington, Sept 18. A report has been received from United States At torney Wolfe, of Pensaoola, Fla., stat ing that the two parties arrested on in formation furnished by the Spanish -vice-oonsul at Tampa, upon trial, have been discharged by the United States commissioner at Cedar Keys. Attor ney Wolfe says the evidence shows conclusively that these men had secret ly conveyed to isolated places on Codar Keys a large quantity of arms and am munition, provisions, eta, presumably to be used in outfitting an expedition against the Spanish authorities in Cuba. That Buoh was the case to which the arms were to be put, how ever, could not be proved and the men were discharged. Ia Behalf of Waller. Indianapolis, Sept 18. The A. M. E. conference of Indiana, in an ad dress to the country today, says: "We call attention to the case of John Waller, a man of education and character, who is now held a prisoner by the French government and who is undergiong a sentence of twenty years at hard labor. We oondiser the treat ment awarded our fellow countryman an outrage, and would request the state department to use its good offioes for his immediate release as an American xitiaen." STATEMENT BY SMITH. Ha Lays Aside Bids Issue and Talks to the Point. New York. Sept. IP. Ex-Commo dore James D. Smith, chairman of the New York Yacht Club's committee, is sued the following statement to the press today: "I have nothing to say in answer w Lord Dunraven's letter of September 18. My committee is out of town. Lord Dunraven' has given his letter to the pnblio and our answer will come later. "To strip this yaoht question of all side issues and special but important pleadings by Lord Dunraven about con ditions, old and new, which should not have prevented him from racing Val kyrie to the finish of the match, the glaring fact stands out that he did not do bis duty to the Royal Yacht squad ron, who made the challenge for him, to the English people, nor to his sup porters, nor to himself. He provented the Defender from showing her power and speed in the second and third races, thus giving the syndicate that built her no opportunity of displaying ber superiority over the challenging Lord Dunraven had the personal right to decline to resail the protested race of September 10 in a written or unwritten offer to him by Mr. lselin, and approved by our oup committee, whioh he did decline. He had also the same personal right to start his yaoht across the line September 13 and with draw ber from the race as he did, leav ing Defender to go over the course alone. I believe it was, to say the leaBt, a mistake in judgment and that the great majority of yachtsmon the world over will so decide." The seat of operation of the princi pal yachtsmen of Amerioa and England has been changed from this oity to Newport The cup and regatta com mittees are represented there by Ches ter Griswold, A. Cass Canfleld, Mr. Grinnell and Secretary Oddie. Lord Dunraven and H. Maitland Kersey are also there, as are Messrs. Vanderbilt and Morgan. C. Oliver lselin is at New Roobelle, superintending the dis mantling of Defender. ECKELS TOO FAR AWAY. He Can Bay Nothing of Interest Re garding a Bond Issue. London, Sept 18. The Hon. James E. Eckels, controller of the United States currency, made the following statement today on the request of a rep resentative of the Associated Press: "Being thus far away from New York, and not knowing the exaot con ditions nrevailing there whioh are producing the shipment of gold abroad, I feel I can say nothing upon tnat bud ject whioh will be of special benefit to the public Generally speaking, these gold shipments come about from the fact that the American people are buy ing a great deal abroad and not selling sufficient of their own products to equalize things, thus necessitating a settlement of the balance due in gold. We maintain a finanoial system which makes the United States treasury a general market of supply for all re quiring gold, consequently more or less embarrassment comes to the adminis tration of the treasury department when those balanoes require to be set tled. However, the treasury has al ways managed to maintain unquestion ed payment in gold of its obligations, and always will do so. The system under whioh It is forced to operate makes it sometimes expensive to do so, but so long as the representatives in congress refuse to change that system, and so long as the voters tolerate them, the people have no right to complain of the expense." New York, Sept 18. Assistant Treasurer Conrad N. Jordan says in re lation to the printed story about the probable issue of government bonds: "I have been a party to no discussion on the subject with Mr. Curtis nor anyone else, except in an informal, gossipy way, and have not attended a formal oonferenoe. A great many of our leading financiers, including J. Pierpont Morgan, do not consider a new government loan advisable at this time." - TO PREVENT DEPORTATION. Crlmlual Charge Against a Chinaman Ordered Deported, Victoria, Sept 18. The local crim inal oourts were invoked Saturday as a protest to prevent Wong Si Quong, a Chinese passenger of the steamship Ta coma, deported from Puget sound, from going back to China. Lim Yem, a local Chinese merchant, appeared be fore a justice of the peace Saturday and swore to an information charging (juong with stealing a suit of clothes August 15. A warrant was issued, Quong arrested on the deck of the Ta coma, and the prosecution deposited the necessary 150,000 to permit his be ing landed with the customs authori ties, (juong was arraigned in the po lice oourt this morning, and there was nobody present to prosecute him. The magistrate declared at the same time that the information was defective, perhaps intentionally so. He did not care to dismiss the case, however, but remanded it for a day and fixed the bail at $100. Bail was furnished later and the Chinaman was released. The polioe are of the opinion that the case was merely a nreteit to cet Quona ashore, and talk of prosecuting Lim for perjury. The Cramps ta Build a Yacht. Philadelphia, Sept 18.

CALIFORNIA AUTHORITIES BUSY Mo Fear of Introduction of the Disease by Steamer, but Not Bo Certain of the Ilallroads. San Franoisco, Sept 17. The local health officers are seriously consider ing the establishment of quarantine stations at the north and south lines of the state along the railroads. The plan will be considered at the joint meeting of the local board of health, the surgeons of the United States ma rina snrvinA and the state board of health, to be held in a few days. Those whose duty it is to look alter we sani tary condition of the city and prevent the introduction and spread of epi demio diseases are thoroughly aroused to the danger whioh is threatened to the oity and state by the close proxim ity of Asiatio cholera. As already an thn hoard of health has de clared Honolulu an infected port, and hereafter all vessels irom mere win ne detained and thoroughly fumigated. The members of the board of health An tint fear thn introduction Of cholera through the medium of the steamers ni nthnr vessels from infected ports. because they consider tne quarantine already established and in force will form a perfect safeguard, but tney are nnf on wi-tnin ahont the railroads. Some of the members consider that the crroataat rinnimr lies in those who are landed in other ports and reach this oity by rail.

A vioious attempt to bum "Bottle Koemg s theater, on Montgomery avenue, was made early this morning. About o o'olock the place was found in flames, whioh were, however, soon extinguish ed with slight damage to the property, It was found that some one had taken off the tins of twelve gasburners, and. then lighting the gas, had turned the flames against the woodwork. In the basement the cap had been unsorewed from the gaspipe and the lighted gas was so directed toward the woodwork, Overhead, in the New Atlantic hotel, were 160 people all asleep, and, bad not the fire been promptly discovered and extinguished, there would have ben a frightful catastrophe. Huntington Denies It. New York, Sept 18. C. P. Hunt ington denies the statement that the Central Paciflo has given notice to tne Union Paciflo that in November it would abandon its present passenger trains, which connect with those at Og den. Mr. Huntington said: "I have been telling our people the last three years that we had nothing to gain by any such or similar action, and we would, at the best, get only a small portion of the traffic Our rela tions with the Union Pacific have been friendly and remain so. There is no truth whatever in the report Frederick R. Coudert, one of the Union Paciflo receivers, said the state ment was news to him. The "Sweet-Pea Girl." San Francisco, Sept 17. The "sweet-pea girl," the mysterious young woman who has constantly attended the Durrant trial, and who has attract ed so much attention by her devotion to the alleged murderer, is not Rosa lind Holand, the daughter of well-to-do Oakland people. She is Mrs. Grace Bowers, the wife of an insurance clerk. Last Wednesday she left her husband as a result of her infatuation for Dur rant Mr. Bowers says his wife never knew Durrant, but that from the be ginning she has taken a great interest in the trial, and believes Durrant in nocent It is thought that her mind has, become affected, and that she is not responsible for her actions. THE BOOM PETERED OUT. The Stranded Miners In Alaska Are In Had Way. San Franoisco. Sept 17. The roin- ing boom at Cook's inlet baa petered out and there are over 200 miners in far-away Alaska who are stranded. Not only have none of them any means with which to come home, but there is no way in which the majority of them can reach home this winter. Wild stories of a great boom in that part of Alaska were told last fall, and the spring saw the fitting out oi a number of expeditions for Cook's in let The first to go from here was in charge of C. D. Ladd in the schooner Marion, twenty-eight men being in the party. The steamer Chehalis took twenty-five nion from Paget sound, and the schooners Elwood and Prosper and the sloop Mars also took parties from Seattle, Tacoma and Port Town send. The ship Jeannie arrived here from Cook's inlet eight days ago. When she left the latter place, only the Marion, Prosper and Elwood were there. These boats could not accom modate a quarter of the miners. The Prospers captain offered to take twen, ty men all she could carry to Una laska at $5 a head, the men to board themselves on the trip. The Alaska Commercial Company's new scnooner Kooiak, wnion was built here a few mouths ago, is expect ed to arrive at Cook's inlet next month, but her capacity will not accommodate many of the miners. An employe of the oompany said today: "It depends upon where the miners are along the shores of the inlet If they have remained on the east side, they can readily reach our trading post at Kenai, and there are two or three canneries on the Kenai and Kuislov rivers; but if they have gone on the westerly side, they are likely to have a hard time, unless they are provided with guns and ammunition. Even the possession of these will not avail them much after the winter sets in, for ev erything there is snow and Ice. If they are pretty well acquainted with the country, they could work down to Kenai, but if they are not, the ease is very serious. We have another station on the Yanock, but I do not think it is kept open in the winter months." THE BIG HOTEL AT NIAGARA. The Place to Be Made the Monte Carlo of America. Buffalo. N. Y.. Sent 17. The Ex- oress Bars: Niagara Falls is to be the convention city of the future and the Monte Carlo of Amerioa.

Both Mitchell and Daly are interested in the scheme be sides others whose names cannot be learned., ADVICES FROM CUBA. Province of Matansas Is Invaded by the Insurgents. Tampa, Fla., Sept 17. Private ad vices from Cuba tonight state that Colonel La Chete and General Surez have invaded Matansas province.

THE NAVY DEPARTMENT ACTIVE Tney Bay the Government Officials Are Preparing lor Any Emergency Whioh Might Arise. Chicago, Sept 16. A speoial from Washington says: . "Information as to the recent sooret work in the navy department has leaked out, and the result is sufficient to justify the belief that President Cleve land is meditating seriously the possi bilities of hostilities between Spain and the United States in tne near iu ture. "Whether the dispatch is doe to a desire to recognize the Cubans as bel ligerents or an intention to be in a po sition to enforce the Mora claim is un certain, but it cannot be denied that the state and navy departments have been unusually active in tne last lew weeks. ' Certain branohes of the navy department are now devoting their at tention to the Cuban matter almost ex clusively. "Acting under recent orders from Secretary Herbert, some of the officers have been working extra time scouring data, the character of whioh is such as to indicate that the m-esident and Seo retary Olney see the necessity of pre paring for aotive interevntion in tne affairs of Cuba. "Exhaustive renorts have been pre pared for Secretary Herbert and the president on the condition of tne navy for a descent on Cuba. The question of transports and facilities for landing troops on the island has been looked into thoroughly, and the results filed with the secretary of the navy." A Washington speoial to the Tribune says in reference to Cuban matters: 'Confidential information received hv the Tribune shows that the presi dent's plans are more far-reaching than was generally anticipated, in the nrst place it was learned that Spain bad at lout heen frightened into action and the Mora claim will be paid by exohange on London within a few days, all tne arrangements to that effect having at last been completed by the Spanish ministers. "This information comes from source bevond Question, and from the same was obtained the prediction that within a month President Cleveland would tuke an active hand in the Cu ban nnes tion. It is said that a power ful syndicate has been formed in this oountry which will be prepared to guarantee the Cuban bonds preparatory to its acquisition by the umtea Stntea." A BDeoial to the Daily News from Washington says: Minister Taylor has been instructed to demand from Spain protection for American missionaries on the Caroline islands. This question ia several vears old. commencing when our missionaries were persecuted and driven out of the Caroline islands by the natives. Spain exercises autbonty over the islands, and full reparation was demanded for the outrages. Spain resDonded by the payment ot II 7, DUO indemnity and promising protection to nnr missionaries in future, bat by fail ing to stand by her declaration, Spain has made it impossible lor the mission aries to safely return to the islands. The nresent demand is that the prom ise of porteotion be carried out in a satisfactory manner. The Mora tlalm. Washington, Sept 16. The methods for the payment of the Mora claim have been definitely settled and a draft pre pared for the transfer tomorrow. It will call for an equivalent in English Donnds sterling of 1 1.499, 000, made navable to Secretary Olney. The loss nfil.000 from the amount, tl.500. 000, originally agreed upon is due to the difference between the values of the Spanish peso and the American gold dollar. Encounter With a Madman. Richfield, Utah, Sept 17. A story comes from Joseph City, Utah, of a thrilling encounter engaged in by half a dozen oattlemen and a madman. The men were around a camp fire in the mountains when, without warning, they were fallen upon by a man who nmerired from the sage brush and com menced an onslaught on them. After enrntving his revolver, he grappled with the man nearest. After he was finally shaken off, he escaped to the timber. It is thought he is Bryan May, who was arrested last year in Gunnison, Uoio., ior a use onense. The man has terrorized the entire oom munity, and a posse is on his trail.
