THE BIO STRIKE.
All Quiet In the Coke Regions Funeral
ts Take I I ace Saturday.
Mt. Pleasant, April 3. Quiet reigns
throughout the coke regions this morn
ing. No outbreaks have occurred since
the fatal raid of yesterday morning
While the situation is still grave, the
presence of the militia had a reaspuring
' effect. Two regiments are upon the
trround. So far no further doaths have
occurred but several more are in a criti
cal condition. The funerals will take
place Saturday.
' Peter Wise, master workman of the
Knights of Lalxir, says the entire coke
country will turn out and nbont that
time the people must take care. The
inquest on the bodies was resumed this
morning, neither sheriff nor coke com
panies were represented. A doubt is
created as to whether the pistol shot was
fired first by the guards or the strikers,
The most of yesterday's testimony was
favorable to the strikers.
Fears are entertained for the safety of
Captain Lauer, whose men did the
shooting yesterday. Threats were made
against him loud. He is going around
with a body guard and trouble is looked
for in Layette county. It is probable
that a regiment of militia will lie sent
there.
BAD WEATHER EAST.

GENERAL NATURE.
A Veey Prominent War Spirit is Mani
festing Itself In the Crescent City.
New Orleans, La., April I. The city
is very much excited over the reports
received here from Washington concern
ing the resignation of Baron Fava and a
very pronounced war spirit is manifest
ing itself. The opinion is generally ex
pressed that the Italian government has
acted with extreme baste, and before
the machinery of justice had been put
I into operation. The grand jury is still
i in session, and is not likely to report tor
several days yet. It has not com
pleted its invest igation into the charges
of bribery, and has only casually investi
gated the prison occurrence." It was
openly asserted here that the gentlemen
who signed the call for the meeting at
the Clay statue would be indicted, but
the sentiment is strong here in support
of the summary action that was taken,
and the mob participating represented
large a number, there being perhaps
ten thousand around the jail, that it is
generally believed that no indictments
will 1 presented. To indict the people
who took part in the tragedy would be
ridiculous, is the opinion openly ex
pressed. A reporter visited the Italian
consulate this morning. There was no
flag flowing in front of the building, and
inside there were only two or three per
sons engaged in conversation with the
consul. Mr. Corte said that Baron
Fava had officially notified him of his
recall this morning, and had added a
denial of the report telegraphed yester
day that Americans had been thrown
into a prison at Florence and other
places in Italy.' The consul did not de
sire to express an opinion upon we
recall. He said he did not know
whether it was tantamount to a declara
tion of hostility. .
WHY FAVA WAS RECALLED.
The pressure brought upon Rudini to
act with exceptional vigor in pressing
the American government to a settle
ment of the New Orleans massacre
episode, grows out of the feeling assidu
ously fomented by the partisan friends
of Ex-Premier Crispi, and especially by
such of them as are Sicilians, who either
dread the power of, or sympathize with
the objects of the Mafia. The attitude
of this class of men has been stiffened by
the fact that some of Crispi's opponents
have .openly declared that the plew
Orleans lynching was just, if illegal.
INCREASED WHEAT ACREAGE.
Reports From Eastern Washington
In-
d Irate an Immense Yield.
Spokane Falls, April 1. Official re
ports to the chain ber of commerce from
seventeen towns in the grain districts of
eastern Washington indicates a largely
increased acreage over that of last year.
These reports are from the Palouse,
Walla Walla, Yakima and Potlatch val
leys, where the famous wheat blockade
occurred last autumn, and also from that
broad region encircled by the Big Bend
of the Columbia river. In the Big Bend,
where government land is being rapidly
taken by immigrants, the increase of
acreage will run 50 to 100 per cent. ; In
the Palouse, Walla Walla, Yakima and
Potlatch districts the increase will be
about 25 per cent.
As barley was a profitable crop last
year the acreage of that grain will be
particularly large. The soil is in excel
lent condition ; in places it is wet to a
depth of three feet. Farm work is being
pushed with exceptional vigor. -
FANATICAL MORMONS QUARREL.
Blount Zion, Where Gabriel Will Blow
His Horn, the Disputed Property.
Kansas Citv, Mo., April 1. Two
bianches of the Mormon church at In
dependence, Mo., known respectively as
the "Hendrickite" and the "Reorgan
ized church," are fighting for possession
of Mount Zion, a - low hill . about four
acres in extent, which was selected by
Joshua Smith as the place where all the
elect will assemble on judgment day, and
from there be taken to heaven. The
Mormons believe the foundations of a
magnificent temple were laid many years
ago by the angel Gabriel and his hosts,
who will descend from heaven and un
cover these foundations, and in a single
night erect a beautiful temple. The
Hendrickites have a church on Mount
Zion and the reorganized church is con
testing their title. Last night the church
building was completely wrecked. The
Hendrickites claim the desecration was
by the other faction.

New York, April 4. Lillian F. Smith,
the female rifle shot, writes that she ia
going to return to Oregon to bunt, then
have a boat built and go down the Col
umbia river to the.vPacific ocean and
then to San Francisco. She - will then

IN THE COKE REGION.
All Quiet Today Funerals of the Vic
tims -The Responsibility Charged
' to Unions.
Mt. Pleasant, April 4. The situa
tion in the coke regions has not material
ly changed. The feeling prevails that
so long as the militia remains there will
be no more lawlessness.
The funeral of the victims will occnr
this afternoon. Not less than 1000 coke
worker will follow the bodies to the
grave. Every precaution will De taken
to prevent trouble.
Pittsburg, April 4. H. C. Finch coke
operator savs the outbreak in the coke
regions should be laid to the door of cun
ning labor leaders who for selfish pur
poses incited them to riot. He denies
importing man.
The peculiar feature of the situation is
that although the men have been out of
work for a month they still seem to have
considerable money and from outward
appearances are not suffering from any
thing. In Mount Pleasant bank there
is a large list of depositors whose savings
range from $000 to $3000. Of this money
very little has been withdrawn. The
strike is likely to continue indefinitely.
A SUGAR TRUST.
Great Sugar Kings Combine
In
Company.
New iork, April 4. The Sun save
that the report of an arrangement be
tween Havemeyer and Claus Spreckels
to divide the country into selling dia
tricts and other ways to prevent too
sharp competition, was revived in Wall
street today. Dow, Johns & Co., an
nounced that they were able to state
that Haveraever and Spreckels had
formed the Western Coast Sugar Refin
ing Co., to refine sugar in California.
The local refineries become the. property
of the. new company. Terms are not
stated. This deal, however, does not
apply to trades in the east. Spreckela
continues his opposition here just as be
fore. The deal has nothing to do with it.

Grand Trustees Discharged.
Galesburo, 111., April 6. S. E. Wil
kinson, grand master of the brotherhood
of railway brakemen, has discharged
Chas. T. Salisburg, John C. Glen, Clias.
W. Flanders, John O'Rourke and R. S.
Bedman, grand trustees of that organiza
tion. The reason for this, Wilkinson
said, were usurpation of authority and
failure to make proper examination of
the books of various officials. Salesbnrg
of this city, one of the trustees denies the
authority -of Wilkinson to discharge
them and says that they are still serving
regardless of the order.
Reciprocity Treaty Conference Post
poned, Washington, April 6. The confer
ence between Secretary Blaine and
Canadian officials concerning the recip
rocity treaty has been postponed. The
President has signified his desire to be
present at the conference and as his
coming trip to the west would interfere
in that it waa thought best to postpone
negotiations until such time as the
President could give the matter his
attention.
An After Night Attack Feared.
Scottdale, Pa., April 4 A special
mass meeting of strikers has been called
for immediately after the funeral. The
leaders say the will counsel moderation.
A Pittsburg gentleman just from the
coke regions says there is a general im
pression that it is the intention to pro
long the funeral service until after dark

cality. THE ITALIAN QUESTION.
To be Relegated to the Red Tape Depart
ment and Drawn ont Interminably.
Washington, D. C. April 4. It ia an
nounced that the state department have
nothing to make public today respecting

tion will it is believed take its place in
the ordinary calendar of open diaplo
niatic matters whose disposition usually
is characterized by deliberation and
patient investigation.

POOR CANADA.

Quebec, April 6. Canada may now
have on her hands a big religious fight as
well as a political one over the Manitoba
school act which was recently adopted
by the legislature there and which pro
hibits religious instructions in public
schools. The entire Roman Catholic
hierarchy have entered upon a war
against it.
NEW ORLEANS GRAND JURY.
Seven of -the Killed Were voters and
the Others Escaped Murderers.
New Orleans. April 2. Judee Marrs.
the presiding magistrate over the action
of trie criminal district in which the
grand jury is now serving, yesterday ex
pressed a private opinion that nothing
would ever be done to the lynchers who
caused the killing of the Italians. It is
impossible ts criminally prosecute 5000
persons, he said, and referred to the
famous passage in Burke's oration, that
there is no law under which a whole
community can be indicied. Even if the
grand jury were to indict the leaders, no
jury could ever be secured to try . them.
Snrh -nnhlicitv has been triven to' the
I affair, that every one is conversant with
) the facts of the case, and no one is with
out; a nxea opinion.
A close examination of the record - of
the eleven alleged assassins discloses
that all but four of the eleven slain were
registered voters, either bv birth or
naturalization. The four others, whom
Consul C. Corte claims as entitled to the
protection of the Italian government,
are Trahina, Bagnetto, Monasterio and
Comitez. The first named is found to
have been a voter in the parish of St.
Charles. Bagnetto is proved to have
been a fugitive murderer from Palermo
and a member of the exposito band of
highwaymen. Monasterio was a veteran
of Garibaldi '8 army, but fled from
Palermo while charged with murdering
a female. Trahina was also a robber in
Italy. Of Comitez nobody seems to
know anything. He and Monasterio
were buried in .the potter's field. Con
sul Corte is doing all he can to reach the
facts of the affair, though he has not re
ceived that courtesy at ' the hands of
Governor Nicholls and Mayor Shake
speare that his position warrants. The
grand jury is holding daily sessions. .
ITINERARY OP THE TRIP.

Washington, April 2. The statement
by the president's secretary in regard to

FATA' 8 ACTION WAS HASTY.
Such Is the Opinion of a Representative
Italian in London.
London, April 2. In an interview" to
day Signor Bonacina, president of the
Italian Uhamber ot commerce in this
city, said he regarded Baron Fava's ac
tion as somewhat precipitate, and said :
It was a mere flash in the Dan, which
would end in nothing. There is not much
sympathy among the Italians in London
with the men who were lynched in New
Orleans. The Italians here are of the
opinion that there is no doubt that the
men charged with the murder of Uhief
lennessey were guilty. 1st ill they say
: the lynchers go unpunished res pec ta
le Italians in the United States are not
life.
. -i Coming to Portland.
San Diego, Cal., "April 2. Secretary of
IVar Proctor and party arrived in the

p the Hotel del Coronado. Tomorrow
borning Secretary Proctor and the
nilitary post commission will visit North
island and Point Loma, and in the after -
toon a public reception will be tendered

erce. The secretary will then 'leave

Hit to Portland, if not called to Wash
igton on his arrival at the former city.

ON
We call the attention of occupants
of
the lands recently forfeited to the United
States to the fact that "Secretary Noble
has directed the commissioner of the
general land office to publish a notice in
the papers circulating in the vicinity of
the lands forfeited by the railroad land
forfeiture act, requiring all persons hold'
ing contracts for the purchase of such
lands from the railroad companies to in
dicate at the local land offices, within
sixty days, the particular lands which
they intend to purchase under the act.
There can be no doubt that the "con'
tracts for the purchase of these 'lands
from the railroad companies" refers sim
ply to such certificates of filings as in the
case of the Northern Pacific in this re
gion, that company used to issue to ap
plicants for these lands, for several years
after the grant was made. If it be
asked: What about those who never
made any filings and who, as a conse
quence, have no evidence that they ever
made any contract with the railroad
company, express or implied, it may suf
fice, in the absence of any definite in
structions on this point at the local land
office to say that the intention of the
Secretary undoubtedly is to compel all
persons holding railroad lands and other
wise qualified to purchase, to indicate at
the local land offices within a period of
sixty days the particular . lands which
they intend to purchase, in order that
those holding a larger tract " than the
forfeiture act allows them may not pre
vent the settlement of the lands by per
sons entitled to enter them under the
homestead or other laws. Ample public
notice will be given when the land office
here receives its orders, as to when the
sixty days begin to run, but we presume
they will not begin to run before the day
fixed for receiving filings on these lands
which is next Monday.
SOCIAL AND POLITICAL PERIL
The disturbances in the coke region of
Pennsylvania in which, at least, seven
men were killed outright and as many
as forty were more or less seriously
wounded gives marked emphasis to the
one grave lesson that the New Orleans
affair has been . teaching the people of
the United States. The Oregonian of
yesterday very truly says :
We are admitting too many immi
erants of alien' races, totally unfit, intel
lectually and morally, tor tne auties,
privileges and responsibilities of Ameri
can citizenship, ine pure ana naray
northern races which flowed into this
country dnriug the first century of its
existence as a nation were a wholesome
accession to its population, increasing
the national strength as wen as tne
national wealth. The ignorant and
vicioun alien and depraved masses which
have poured across the ocean from
southern and eastern Europe within the
last twenty years are an element of
weakness and danger. Their crude
labor mav increase the national wealth,
but their dense ignorance and depraved
morals make them a scourge of constant
peril to our political and social safety.
They are more dangerous as a Bocial
than as a' political force. It is bad
enough that these creatures are voteis;
that the ballot of a stupid and vicious
oriental from the confines of Russia,
barely Europeanized and not at all
Americanized, cast into the evil side of
the scale by a corrupt merchant ot sui
fraees should balance that of an en
lightened American citizen : that the
vote of an Italian stabber, exploited by
the head of a criminal association,
should offset that of a law-abiding per
son, inspired by high public motives.
But it is worse that the poison of these
savage and degraded peoples should
enter into the blood of our social life,
perverting civil order, corrupting law,
palsying justice, destroying the founda
tions of society and breaking down the
restraints of vice, that the Mafia should
introduce terrorism and assassination
into the macninerv of our 'city govern
ments, and that ' infuriated mobs of
Huns and Poles should - introduce
anarchy, riot, arson and slaughter into
our industrial life. This is the intoler
able thing.
THEY ARE MUCH ALIKE.
Representative Huneuker, of White
Salmon, writes to the Ooldendale Sentin
al, under date of March 23d, and ex
plains the manner in which house bill
No. 258 was defeated in the Washington
legislature. The bill required persons,
companies or corporations owning or
controlling railroad co terminus with or
constructed around any obstruction to
navigation in any of the water of the
state or on the boundaries thereof, to
keep ' in good repair and operate the
same on a given compensation. Had
the bill become a law and fixed reasona
ble rate for transfer, it would have help
ed to solve thejproblem of an open river
by compelling the company owning the
present portage road at the Cascades to
carry any and all freight offered it from
any person or company whatsoever.
Mr. Hunsuker succeeds in showing that
the same influence the defeated the road
from The Dalles and Celilo was also at
work in Washington. It would have
mattered little perhaps even if the bill
had passed, for Govornor Laugton who
seems to have vetoed nearly every meas
ure that had its object the relief of the
people from railroad extortion, would
have very likely vetoed that bill too.
ITALY A LAUGHING STOCK.
It it be true as the dispatches indicate
that every man of the eleven Italians
who were massacred at New Orleans was
on the rolls of the city's register of voters
there is no longer any doubt that Italy
has put her foot in it badly and has suc
ceeded in making herself a laughing
stock for the world. The haste with
which the Italian boss, Macheea, himself
a victim,, was wont to make American
citizens of his compatriots deserves the
thanks of a grateful republic. ; Thanks
to Macheea's greed political power Italy
will be spared the trouble of licking the
United States. The war is over before
it unbegun. Italy has made a fool of
herself and the United States has been
taught a lesson on foreign emigration
that she will do well to take heed ; but
it is a matter of profound congratulation
that we are spared the indignity of hav

ing, for the sake of international
comity, to pay sixty or seventy thousand
dollars for the useless carcasses of three
or four miserable "dagoes" that the
world could better spare than endure,
DUTCH AND IRISH PATRIOTISM,
Some people don't like the Dutch and
others don't like the Irish but one thing
can be eaid for both ; when a Dutchman
or an Irishman gets into a shindy i
which he cornea out second best that
all there's of it. You never find him
threatning to bring over the big army
and navy of the mother country
to punish the Yankee that licked
him. He would die first. He's an
American citizen he is, and owes no
allegiance to and claims no protection
from no foreign prince or potentate on
earth. And so patriotic and devoted to
his adopted country is he that if neces
sity arose and Uncle Sam wanted to take
it easy himself, he might Bit down in his
rocking chair while the Dutch and the
Irish would clear the country of every
internal foe from New Orleans to Mani
toba and of every foreign one from New
York to China.
A CONSTITUTIONAL DEFECT.
It cannot be thought strange that
foreign nations should consider a consti
tution very defective which grants the
power of making intermational treaties.
wherein the right of foreigners sojourn
ing in the United States are guaranteed
by this nation, while at the same time in
such a case as that of the New Orleans
affair, the Federal government has no
more constitutional right to interfere
with the course of justice or the punish
ment of the offenders than has a justice
of the peace in the back wcods of Ore
gon. Still, this country has worried
along, tolerably well, for considerably
more than a century with this same con
stituion she is not likely to be in a hurry
to remedy the defect just to please a lot
of hot-headed Italians.
MAKING PRESIDENTS.
The several political parties are busy
all the time making presidents. Just
now, itia said that those republicans
who feel that it would be unsafe to make
the fight with Harrison and who at the
same time belive it would be rank folly
to nominate Blaine are looking towards
Major McKinley as the proper man to be
standard bearer in 1892. They hold that
the sentiment upon the McKinley tariff
has undergone a great change within the
last few months and they are looking for
a still greater change as the people begin
to realize the benefits it will confer on
the nation, and they are asking them
selves if they could go before the country
on anv better issue tnun tnat oi pro
tection.
SERIOUS CHARGES.
The editor of the Goldendale Courier
makes a curious statement with reference
to the habits of the topers of that town
He says: "Whiskey is imported into
this city in bottles and sold to men who
take it into an alley and drink it,
They leave in every bottle an average of
three or four tablespoonfuls." These
are very curious charges. Drinking in
an alley might be overlooked but when
we are assured that three or four table
spoonfuls are left in every bottle, it is
just as much as to say that the topers of
that town get so beastly full that they
' run tnat tney
'the rear of the
are not able to finish
bottle."
HUMAN LIFE CHEAP.
The state penitentiary closed its gates
the other day on two men Duval
and Daring from Arington. They had
stolen two dollars and fifty cents and for
thia crime they got three years each.
Sandy Olds was committed a day or two
before to the same hostlery for a cold
blooded red-handed murder. He got a
r. From all which it follows that in
the eyes of Oregon judges and juries it is a
thrice-greater crime to steal two and a
half than to take a human life.
The governor of Washington is just
now engaged in explaining to the dear
people his reasons for vetoing all bills
passed by the recent legislature for the
relief of the people from railroadextor
tion, and with about as much success as
our representatives had when they ex
plained their action. The people be
lieve him to be the tool of the railroads,
and they will govern themselves accord
ingly. ' .
The Walla Walla Dhton thinks that if
the assessors of the state of Washington
only do their duty as the law requires
them and assess all property at its full
marketable value the state will show a
total assessment valuation of over $500,-
000,000. The same might be said of
Oregon although the total assessment
for 1890 only ehows up $114,000,000 ; less,
we believe, than the amount of taxable
property in the city of Portland alone.
The Popolo Roman a leading paper of
Rome, Italy says : -
Ir we cannot obtain the solemn rights
which one great people owes to another'
we will at least allow ourselves the satis
faction of sending back the American
vessels filled with wheat for our mar
kets, and return to the Yankee breeders
their trichinoced meat.
The Chronicle the leading paper of
The Dalles Oregon says: If you do Mr.
Popolo Roman we will send your vessels
back filled with hand organs, monkeys
and . macaroni. If this means war
Popolo Romans can make the best of it.
Italy's claim for redress in the case of
the eleven Italians massacred at New
Orleans was based on the fact that a
New Orleans jury had acquitted them.
Now if Humbert had only waited a uttle
while he would have seen another New
Orleans jury solmenly pronounce the
lynchers innocent, and what would
Humbert do in that case? If be would
not go back of the court record in the
one case he should not in the other. It's
poor rule that won't work both ways.
POLITICAL ROTTENNESS.
Chicago at this moment presents
powerful illustration of the utter corrup'
tion and rottenness inherent iu the gov
emmental management of our large
cities. Two men are running for mayor.
both belonging td the same party, and as
the election campaign progresses each is
vying with the other in promising that
if elected he will make his adminiatra
tion democratic "from scrub woman to
mayor." O! for some moral sausage
cutter that would make mince meat of
them both. Public economy, public
safety, public honesty these are minor
considerations. Nothing is of any value
save party and spoils.
Germany Wants Onr Hogs.
Berlin, April 6. It is announced that
Germany has resolved to withdraw the
embargo upon American pork. Official
notice will probably be delayed some
time in view of certain negotiations go
ing on between Germany and the United
States.
