A Queenstown dispatch says: The British f our-masted ship Wendur has arrived here after tho extraordintry fast passage") of seventy-eight days fromTacoma. Several are spoken of on both po litical sides as candidates for the var ious offices. The Democrats hold their nominating convention on the 11th inst., and the Republicans on the 12th. .

The statement is made to this pa per by high official authority, that more water is discharged from San Francisco bay every 24 hours than from the Columbia river. It seems incredible, but such is stated to be the fact. One of Cook's fishermen in his boat yesterday morning near Clifton, while about to nhoot a sea lion, acci dentally shot himself in the right thigh, tho ball shattering the bone. He was brought down to the hospttal and given surgical aid. Fish commissioner E. P. Thompson came down yesterday morning. He says the fish law is pretty generally observed, though there is considera ble dissatisfaction respecting pound nets. A judicial interpretation of the law is needed as to the exact status of the "pound net." The present flurry in the tin market is viewed with interest by Co lumbia river canners. The big French trust is "busted." The price has dropped from 166 to 150 a ton and will likely go much lower. Tin plate ran up from 34,75 to 6,25 last fall and those who are long on tin at the latter price will probably hold it Divers at Port Harford last Tues day found the cause of the sinking of the Queen of the Jracijic to De an open dead-light in one ot the side compartments.

As to the quality of this bnt ter it neec'-only be said that anyone who buys it will return ana ony it again, and will not only be pleased with the butter, but pleased to know that Clatsop county can produce such fine butler. Some time Bince a fellow calling himself Dr. Seeley turned up at Ash- land and advertised for exhibition the remains of Jesse James. Bat few patronized the show, and they are unable to say whether the figure ex hibited was really the prepared body of the notorious bandit or some kind of artificial figure. Whatever it was it looked like Jesse Jqmes and had all the bullet holes which marked the defunct carcass. Dr. Seeley was ac; companied by a mysterious person age whom some supposed to be Frank James. Finding poor encourage ment at Ashland, the show moved on to Grant's Pass, where the receipts at tho door amounted to a trifle. The exhibition was boxed up and sent by express to Roseburg, where it still lies, the exhibitors haviug disap peared. PERSONAL MENTION. J. W. Hume left last night for the Coquille. C. C.

N Show in Bishop Merrill Wants Scholarly Minds to Stand off the Scoffers. New Yobk, May 2. Bishop Mer rill's address to the Methodist confer ence reviews the revival work of the past four years; since then 450,000 souls have been brought into the church. This increased the member ship from 1,769,534 to 2,093,935. Af ter dwelling at length on tho growth of skepticism, the address advises that able men ot scholarly minds who are able to cope with the argument of scoffers be placed in Methodist pul pits. The increased arrival on our snores of members of the Roman Catholic church makes it imperative that members of the Methodist church should work to convert them. It is the bishop's opinion that the church of Rome is a snare to the peo ple and threatens our institutions. The struggle between capital and la bor is referred to; it is denied that the church had any right to take part in the political struggle or had taken part in this. IS FAVOR OF PULLMAN. Chicago, May 2. The case be tween the Pullman and the Wagner car companies, in regard to vestibule trains, was decided this morning by Judges 'Blodgett and Gresham in fa vor of the Pullman company, and en joining the Wagner company from further use of these trains. The decision was based on tho va lidity of the Pullman patents, com pletely refuting the claim of Wagner that tho vestibule cars had been in use in other countries before Pullman obtained his patents. The decision gives the Pullman company a monop oly of the manufactare of vestibulo cars in this country. THE BIO TUNNEL. St. Paul, May 2. The great tun nel through the Cascade mountains on the Northern Pacific will proba bly let daylight through some time to-day. The workmen on both sides are already within hearing distance of each . other. The tunnel is nine thousand feet long; the contract was for about 82,000,000. A FLCBP.Y IN TIN. Nnw York, May 2. The metal ex change is greatly excited over tho tin situation to-day. The first cable dis patch announced a decline of two pounds for spot tin.. Since the close of the London market an effort was made to have the exchange closed until the excitement subsided, but it was finally decided that business should go on as usual. A committee was nppointod to fix tho actual value ot tin in this market bo that contracts could be settled on that basis. WON'T ARBITRATE. Tangier, May 2. The sultan re fuses to submit the difference between Morooco nnd the United States in reference to men imprisoned at Ra bat, to arbitration and the dispute has been renewed. RATIFICATION RECOMMENDED. Washington, May 2. In secret ses sion senator Sherman reported back the Chinese treaty from the senate committee on foreign relations, with a recommendation that it be ratified. The committee made two minor amendments one providing that the prohibitional features of the treat shaU apply to those who are now ab- j sent from tho country regardless of any certificates they may hold. Ine other requires classes privileged to return only to be permitted to land npon presenting certificates issued subsequent to the.present time. a farmers' trust. Topeka, May 2. The convention called for the organization of a farm ers' trust, met here yesterday witu 200 delegates, mostly from Kansas, present. A permanent organization was effected. Ex-governor David Butler, of Nebraska, was chosen pres ident; Cleveland Moulton, of Mis souri, vice president; J. B. Ferguson, of Kansas, secretary. The establish ment of ten central agencies to do all selling for members of tho associa tion was proposed, but no definito plan was determined upon. another sideshow. New York, May 2. The second national Republican anti-saloon con ference began this morning in Cooper institute; delegates from all the states are in attendance. Chairman Griffin, in his address, said: "The only way in whiou the movement can be suc cessful is to have tho help of others not in the movement; 75 per cent, of the Republicans," he continued, "are opposed to the saloon and consider it the paramount question; 15 per cent. are more for political movements than the saloon question, and only 10 per cent, favor the saloons. Half of one per cent, of the Republican party aro in the liquor business, and we hope that by the action of the next national Republican convention this element will be eliminated from that business." Letters of regret were read from Jos. R. Hawley. Wm. M. Evarts, John Sherman and William Windom.

The souvenir dancing orders of the Albany Printing Pressman's' union contains the following contribution from "a printer's devil," which is too funny for publication in the so-called comic papers; at least they seldom have such genuine humor. It is en titled a "Prize Essay on Newspa pers." Newspapers is called vehicles of in formation. Reporters is what is called "the staff' so many of them being sticks at refreshment bars. Proof-readers is men what spoils the punctuation of compositors. They spell a word one way to-day and another way to-morrow. They think they be intelligent persons; compositors think different. Compositors is men as sets up the types and sometimes the drinks. Compositors is very steady men when they is sober which they seldom is when they can help it. Editors is men what knows every thing in the heavens above and the earth beneath. They is writers -who doesn't write anything whatsoever. They is the biggest men you ever see. Managers is men as takes in the tin and give3 patent medicine "ads." tops of columns next to readin' mat ter thirty-seven colums out of thirty two. Proprietors ain't anybody. They ain't ever seen. Printers' devils is the most impor tant persons in a printin' office. They does the hardest work and gets the least pay. Pressmen is well, there wouldn't be no newspapers, nor circus bills, without pressmen to print 'em. Feeders is men what feeds on the fat of the land. If ever I start a paper of my own, Pll call it the Umbrella. Everybody will take it. I heard the foreman tell this funny story to one of the "staff" the other day. It must have been funny 'cause they both laughed. This is thestery: "A gentleman was promenading the street with a little boy at his side, when the little fellow cried ent: 'Ob, pa! there goes an editor!' 'Hush! hush!' said the father, 'don't make sport of the poor man God only knows what you may come to yetl' '' An Explanation. What is this "nervous trouble" with which so mnny seem now to be af flicted? If you will remember a few years ago tho word Malaria was com paratively unknown, to-day it is as common as any word in the' English language, yet this word covers only the meaning of another word used by our forefathers in times past. So it is with nervous diseases, as they nnd Malaria are intended to cover what our grandfathers called Billiousuess. nnd nil are caused by troubles that arise, from a diseased condition of the Liver which in performing its func tions finding it cannot dispose of the bile through tho ordinary channel is compelled to pass it off through the system, causing nervous troubles, Malaria, Billious Fever, etc. You who are suffering can well appreciate a cure. We recommend Green's Au gust Flower. Its cures are mar velous. Feathers In Flat Cars. I heard a good story the other day pertainiug to one of the best known railroad men in the Northwest. It seems when he first started out in ugeut,'operator, etc., at a point a few miles distant from Cincinnati. He was young, verdant, and exceedingly fresh for a youth of hia immature years. It was also the general opin ion that his knowledge of the science of railroading was some what limited. So one balmy spring afternoon it was determined to make the test. Accord ingly one of the heaviest shippers of the town walked into the othce and solemnly inquired the tariff on loose feathers shippel on flat-cars. A careful persual of the tariff sheet to was made in vain, but being anxious oblige the shipper ho promptly wired to the general freight agent of the road asking the rate. And it was not until the emphatic, not to say profane, answer of tho general freight agent was received that the absurdity of the thing dawned upon his mind. But it taught him a lesson that he has never forgotten to this day. Minneapolis Tribune. Ucctrlc Bitters. This remedv is becoming so well known and so popular as to need no special mention.
