Tho Congrega tion of tho Holy Office are at present discussing the report of Cardinal Gib bon concerning the Knight3 of Labor in the United States and Canada. A decision is not expected for a long time. From tho best informed sources it is learned that the council agree that a distinction must Jbe made between members of the order in the two countries. The esse ntials, how ever, are tno same ana tne vaucan will be found to look favorably on the Knights, so far as they use peaceful measures to seenre a better condition of tho working classes for which tho order wa3 organized. It will, however, speak in no uncertain sound against the use of violence, and will commend arbitration as the one means to settle disputes between em ployer and the employes. It will probably be found that when tho re port is finally made, that the order in America will be commended on cer tain conditions while that in Canada may be condemned. The congrega tion considers the question as one of the most important now before the Vatican, and the deliberations are generally presided over by the Popo himself. CIiEBICAIi COMMENDATION OF BEECHER. New York, March 12. The clerical union of New "York and Brooklyn, which has a membership of cler gymen irrespective of creed, and of denomination, aud haviug in mind the the recent action of the body of ministers at Chicago rela tive to Henry Ward Beccher and his death, at a special meeting held to day, unanimously edopted lengthy resolutions, the same being designed secondarily to offset the attitude of the Chicago clergy. They pay a glowing tribute to his commanding genius, and declare that he possessed a wealth of practical emotional, sen sibility, spiritual insight, enthusiasm for tho truths which kindle and mas ter men, such as have made him su preme among the preachers and ora tors' of his time. They review at length his career as a foremost cham pion of human liberty and of the rights of the oppressed, reviewed hia attitude towards slavery, his position during and at the end of the civil war, and add: His chosen field of service was, therefore, the ministry of the Chris tian gospel. Its office was to him as broad as philanthropy itself; its pul pit was his home and his throne; its maxims of justice and charity were the burden of his message. The tributo closes with words of sympa thy to his wife and family, and with a resolution to attend the services in a body. Tho resolutions were signed by Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage and twenty-one others of various denomina tions. BURIAIi OF BEECHER. Brooklyn, Mar. 12.

There Will Bo Active Operation at tho Jetty This Tear. There being considerable inquiry regarding possible or probable opera tions at the mouth of the river this season, The Astorian addressed an inquiry to the head of the engineer department having charge add con trol of the matter.and yesterday even ing received the following informa tion in response, which is in every way authentic: "It is expected to conduct jetty operations this summer. The fur nishing of stone, piles and perhaps brush will be let to contract. The failure of the river and harbor bill necessitates several changes in the expected extent and method of operations. That bill not only con tained a liberal appropriation for the mouth of tho Columbia, but also a provision for the purchase of needed land. Had the appropriation been made the government would probably have bought the right of way and quarry grounds, and built, by contract, a narrow gauge road from the jetty site to the quarry, then letto contract the furnishing and delivering of stone from tho quarry over this road. A land delivery of stone seems now out of the question, without waiting two years, or until another appropri ation is made. Tho next best thing is to build or hire a wharf for receiv ing material, at or near Tanzy point, and have a traok from there to. the jetty. If the government owned tho land leading to a suitable, wharf site, that arrangement would probably be carried out The law, however, for bids the purchase of laud, oven that for a right of way for a short railroad. I doubt if a contractor could afford to build this piece of road and to build and hire a wharf for the small contract which can only now be made. However, bidders will have the op tion of delivering stono in dump cars at a point on the reservation', or in barges at an extension of the present Fort Stevens wharf." Astonishing Sueces. It is the duty of every person who has used Hosclice's German Syrup to let its wonderful qualities be known to their friends in curing Consump tion, severe Coughs, Croup, Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and lung diseases. No person can use it without immediate relief. Three doses will relieve any case, and we consider it the duty of all Druggists to recommend it to the poor, dying consumptive, at least to try one bottle, a3 80,000 dozen bottles wero sold last year, and no one case where it failed was reported. Such a medicine as the German Syrup cannot bo too widely known. Ask your druggist about it Sample bottles to try sold at 10 cents. Begnlar size, 75 cents.

Probably as much misery comes from habitual constipation as from any derangement of the functions of the body, and it is difficult to cure, for the reason that no ono likes to take the medicines usually pro scribed. HAMBURG FIGS were prepared to obviate this difficulty, and they will be found pleasant to the taste of women and childron. 25 cents. At all druggists. J. J. Mack & Co., proprietors. S. F. The Face. The care of the complexion has be come an accomplishment that no lady of refined tastes can afford to ignore, and in leading society circles it claims as much thought as do the fashions. It is an acknowledged fact that tho variations of our climate are very se vere on the complexion, noticeable by a roughness and dryness of the skin, and to counteract this effect it be comes necessary to call in the aid of art. In the selection of this agent too much care cannot be "exercised. It is well known to the chemist that many of the so-called "blooms," "balms," 'creams," etc., contain lead and other poisonous substances, the long-continued uso of which is dan gerous. Wisdom's Robertine is guar anteed under n forfeiture of $1,000, to be absolutely free from poisonous substances. If you have not yet tried it, do so at once, and bo ono of tho hundreds who prononnco it the most delightful . toilet article ever pro duced. Wisdom's Robertine is sold at fifty cents rer bottle.

BUT TO BE COMPLETE It Would Need Continuance to nn OcSin Terminus at Astoria. The plan now suggested by North ern Pacific men of covering tho ob structions at Tne Dalles and the Cascades by a long portago on the north bank of tho Columbia, is about tho shrewdest railroad scheme yet proposed in tho northwest As a means of cutting the Oregon Railway and Navigation at comparatively small expense, it would bo a masterly stroke. Two millions of dollars spent here could dictate tormB to the forty three millions invested in the O. R. & N. True a portage road would not directly affect.all the freight of the Columbia basin since the places of production areoftenerthan otherwise remote from the river? but it would command all the Yakima business, all the wool and grain freights which originate at Arlington, The Dalles and other river points. The pro posed portage road would make the river a direct competitor for about one-third of the grain and nearly all tne wool of the basin. A local road t from Snake river through the Pa louse country; another "from the Co lumbia through the Walla "Walla val-' ley and a third into the heart of Umatilla country would practically parallel the lines of the O. It & N. Rarely has a railroad such an oppor-' tunity to cut into the business of its rival. Oreronian, 12. Shortness of Breath. DR.
