A large immigration to Ore gon is reported from the eastern states and Mississippi valley this year. There is room fpr them. TwfiXTY-sli years ago to-day Fort Sumpter was fired on. How that shot thrilled the North! And bow dim and far off that fading memory seems! Two 2,000 ton wooden ships were chartered at San Francisoo last wee to load wheat for Liver pool for twenty shillings, the lowest figure ever reached at that port. m i - A -.postal convention between the United States and Mexico has. been substant:ally concluded, and only awaits formal ratification by the Mexican senate," whioh meets next Friday. the Uanadian hshermen are trying to buy enough clam bait in Maine to supply them the ontire fishing-season, so thatretaliation, if decided on, will not harm them in this particular. - Judge Oooley says the inter state railroad commission is au thorized to grant special rates" in cases where the water competition materially affects the through traf fic of the railroads. Secretary Bayard holds the resignation of three of the leading diplomats in our foreign service, tendered because the salaries at tached to the offioes are wholly in adequate to their needs. Canterbury, N. H., having just completed the extinction of its war debt, has entered upon a new course of heavy expenditures by giving- an oyster supper at which the whole town sat down. A Denver paper, speaking of the Colorado legislature, just ad journed, says: "This legislature will pass into history as the cheap est and mo3t worthless aggrega tion of rottenness and stupidity ever assembled under the dome of the capitol of any state." It is understood that the United States fish commission designs to do all in its power for this coast -this season. The Albatross,the deep sea ship of the government com mission, is expected to reach this eoast by January next, and the scientists she will bring 'will make extended investigations of all mat ters relating to deep sea fish along this coast. Wit. Sherer of the sub-treasury in New York city, says that there is a great demand for bills of all denominations below $20. Mr. -"Sherer estimated the oharacterand amouut of the money in circula tion at present as follews: Green backs, $313,000,000; silver ceiv iifiWes, -'$121,000,000; gold certificates, $100,000,000; national bank notes, $300,000,000; total, $834,000,000, "This is a little - over-$14 for each person in the United States," said Mr. Sherer, u" " uuii onuujfu lor ino dus iness and personal interests of "this country.

At a late meet ing of the London Flour Millers' association, held to "consider the question of the desirability of a duty being imposed upon imported flour," it was decided that, "owing to the great depression in our manufacturing trade, caused chief ly by the largo importations of foreign flours, which have been the means of closing several mills and others only -working half time, it is resolved that the national as sociation of British and Irish millers should be asked to institute an inquiry into the causes of the de pression in the milling trade and cpnsider whether it would be ad visable to ask for a moderate duty to be imposed on imported flour," with but one negative vote. The depressed state of the milling trade of Scotland formed the subject of consideration at a representative meeting of millers held recently at Glasgow. The opinion held, says the Glasgow Herald, favored the adoption of suoh fiscal meas ures "as will save the industry from tha utter destruction that threatens it from the severe, and what is characterized as the unfair, competition offered by America." It was decided that steps should be taken to ventilate the subject. A Huddle All Around. There is good ground, saja the Or cgonian, for believing that B. E. Mar pie, the man sentences at Lafayette last Saturday to hang June 29, will not be hanged on that date. If he should be, the hanging will be illegal and all on acoount of the date. After he had made the long speech, when arraigned for sentence, Judge Boise sentenced him to be hanged May 29, 1887. It happens that May 29 falls on a Sunday, and the judgment of a court cannot be executed on Sunday. Probably the judge looked at the Annl page of his calendar, as the 29th falls on a Friday, and in that way made the blunder. A few moments after the prisonor had been re-con-duoted to his cell, a friend called Judge Boise's attention to the error. He immediately ordered Marple re turned to the court room, and not wishing to acknowledge that he had rendered an illegal judgment, stated that he had made a mistake in the month, and thereupon changed the date of the sentence to June 29. This i3 eighty-one days from April 9 and seotion 213, chapter 21 of the criminal code of Oregon reads: "When judgment of death is pro nounced a warrant signed by the judge of the court and attested by the olerk, with the seal of the county affixed, mnst be drawn and delivered to the sheriff of the county; the war rant shall state the conviotion and judgment, and appoint a day on which the judgment is to be executed. whioh must not be less than thirty, nor more man sixty days from the time of judgment." At 1 o'clock in the afternoon Judce Boise adjourned court for the term, ana ic is now too late to correct the error. The case would no doubt have gone to the supreme court anyhow, but now there will be additional ground for asking that the judgment be set asidfe, and a new trial ordered. Perhaps a speoial term of court can be called and Marple re-resentenced, but it seems a poor sort of a way of showing "mercy to "the prisoner," as asicea oy the jury. Comiflz Back Again.
