Some newspapers of this city recall portions of the late Em peror Frederick's diary, which Prince Bismarck tried to suppress, revealiug King Leopold's congratulations to the Emperor William on the victory at Se dan, and later King Leopold's intrigne with Bismarck and Thiers to get him self made king of combined France apd Belgium. The object of the reminder is to persuade De ireycinet to keep a strong force within easy distance of Mense, on the ground that King Leopold is still inclined to violate the neutrality of Belgium in the interests of Germany. Le Soir believes a secret intent to that end exists between Emperor William and King Leopold, but that the latter has been com pel ted to be prndent since the Geffaeken revolutions. A If TT I.

I'.r.AIN'E'S HEALTH. Suicide Caused by Unhappy Domestic Relations and Drink. Syracuse, N. Y.f Sept. 3. Henry W. Carberry, for the last ten years assistant bookkeeper for the Gaslight company, was found dead in his home this morning with a bullet from a revolver in his own hand in his heart. The deed was com mitted yesterday morning, but the body was not discovered until this morning about 10 o clock. He had been married for about five years, but had not been happy with his wife. He drank con siderable, and this was the main cause of the trouble. On Friday his wife left the house with their child, saying she was going to the house of her sister and would not return . until her husband came after her. The FROM OKLAHOMA. An Overlooked Section of Law Create Consternation Among the Citizens. Gctheie, Oklahoma, Sept. 4. A Sen sation was caused by the publication of a heretofore overlooked section of law which makes it a misdemeanor for any person or corporation to hire a man to go into the Indian reservation and take up a. claim and afterward turn it over to those persons or company. Many banks and mercantile houses and other companies and hundreds of private per sons engaged parties to do this very thing and the discovery of this law creates consternation on all sides. A l'AKTY OF EXILES, Secretary is Able to Every Day. Bab, Harbor, Me., Sept. 4. Mr. Blaine has been out every day this week. Yesterday he drove out twice, He drove into the village, left his carriage and went into several of the shops and dropped into Dr. Taylor's. He walks out with the doctor every day. Mr, Dent attends to much of Secretary Blaine's business outside as well as in. When there is anybody to be seen that the secretary don't want to talk with, he sends his private secretary to transact the bnsiness.' Mr. Blaine's friends here laugh at the latest current report that President Harrison has ordered a mes senger to come here and get Secretary Blaine's ves or no in regard to being a candidate. They doubt Mr. Harrison's great readiness to resign his own pros pects in Mr. Blaine's favor, and they doubt even more Mr. Blaine's giving any definite answer as to his future in tentions. Everybody believes Mr. Blaine quite enjoys the uncertainty re garding his intentions that pervades the public mind just now. TO SECURE THE STATE'S FCXDS. Prominent Citizens Driven From Their Native Land. Coeixto, Nicaragua, Sept. 3. Among the passengers who left ljre August 23 on the Pacific Mail Steamship Com pany's steamer Colima, were six of, the most prominent men in the republic of Nicaragua, who were sent to Costa Rica as exiles by order of President Sarcasa. The party included thre3 members of IbeXicaraguan senate General Falvala. formerly president of the republic ; J. D. Rodriguez, and S. Chamarro.' The others are A. H. Rivas, E. Guzmau and Pedro Oritz. They were made prisoners during the recent riot in the city of Grenada. As- Sarcasa wished to be rid of his most prominent opponents, he determined to send them out of the country, and though he succeeded in do ing to his action led to open revolt, which resulted in bloodshed. The mob which gathered returned the fire of the troot9 enardins the oartv of exiles, kill ing seven people, among them being the governor of the district, four soldiers and two bystanders. More troops were brought to the scene and the mob was dispersed without any further loss of life. T ne prisoners were taken to Punta Aremas.' There is a very uneasy feeling in Nicaragua at the present time, owing i;ot onlv to dissensions within the eoun- "try, but also to the possibility of trouble with Honduras. Both Nicaragua and Honduras have troops stationed on the frontier, and it is the belief that open hostilities may occnr at any time. The Federal Government System the Most Perfect Safeguard. Philadelphia, Sept. 4. The legis lative committee appointed to investi gate the state treasurer's office met here this morning. Governor Pattison ap peared before the committee. He was asked if he could suggest any better method than the present system of aud iting state accounts. In reply the gov ernor said in -his opinion the present system was all wrong. Under it the state treasurer has absolute control of about $8,000,000, for which the state onlv has security to the amount of $500,- 000. Governor Pattison also said he thought the system of depositing the state money "was wrong.' Security should be required by the state for money deposited, about $125,000 for every "$100,000. The most perfect safe guard for security to the state against loss is the system employed by the federal government. SIXTEEN MEN KILLED. GREAT EXCITEMENT.

Reynolds & Co., near this place, exploded last even ing. Sixteen workmen, mostly Swedes and Norwegians, were completely anni hilated and not a trace of them can be found. It is estimated twenty tons of dynamite exploded. The concussion here was terrbile, buildings being badly damaged and people frightened. End of a Stabbing Affray. I Merced, Cal., Sept. 3. George Mc Farland had a preliminary examination yesterday for etabbling Will Olsen, on Sunday last, at Ivett ranch, and was dis charged. Olsen, who was likewise un der arrest, was also discharged. Olsen was a brother-in-law of Ivett, who was murdered by an unknown assassin last fall, and the stabbing took place within twenty feet of where the murdered man's body was found. Tbe Eiffel tbe Cause. Pa bis: In tbe recent storm terrible damage to markets, gardens and vine yards in envirions of this city was caused. At Stains a farmer and laborer were killed by a thunder, bolt. At Ulamart u peasant and his wife was killed. Scientists assert the Eiffel Tower caused electrical disturbances and the climate here has been much worse since the tower was built. Still another fire started last night at about G:50 o'clock in the barn of J. T. "Peters' & Co., on the river front, about 200 yards from the U. P. passenger de pot. Among the first to observe it were the men belonging to the Forcpaugh circus and from that moment till the fire was hopefully- conquered, these men, tired and weary as they must have been with their own labors, fought like heroes to subdue the flames and save the threatened property. For a time it seemed as if the planing mill, belonging to the same establishment, must snc cumb to the flames and it was only by the hardest kind of work that it was saved. In the barn were three work horses, a lot of hay and grain, sash ma- terial, tools, oil, etc., and everything went up in the flames ; besides several thousand feet of lumber, the whole in volving a loss of about $1500, partially insured. The circus boys broke in the doors of the building, which were se curely locked, only to find that the fire had taken possession to such an extent that it was impossible to reach them. It is impossible to account for the origin of the fire also. No one had been in the building, so far as we have been able to learn, for hours before, and if it was the work of an incendiary and it was his intention to destroy all that is left of the East End, he certainly showed good judgment in his t"le;tion of the place to start the fire. As it was, had the wind blown in the prevailiug di rection it would have been impossible to have saved the planing mill, and with it would have gone the passenger and freight .depots, the Moody warehouse, the Curtis flouring mills, and everytning left of Wednesday's fire in the East End. Scarcely had the weary citizens of The Dalles laid themselves down to snatch a little well earned rest from labor and anxiety, when a fourth alarm broke the stillness of the night. It was a little before three o'clock this morning and this time the fire was located in tbe west end, at the rear of the Michael- bach building, corner of Second and Union. The fire started in a large wooden porch and caused great excite ment among the lodgers in the building, nearly all of whom had been victims of last Wednesday's fire. Charley Graham promptly closed the iron shutters at the back of the building and to this as well as to the prompt action of the fire department, assisted by the company's hose is due to the fact that the building is not now a mass of ruins. Again , in the hand of thieves and incendiaries i has taken such a deep hold on our j citizens that they called a mass meeting at ten o'clock for the purpose of devising means and ways of driving them out of town. Upwards of two hundred of the leading citizens responed and the meet ing organized by appointing G. J. Farley chairman, and George P. Morgan secretary. Emil Schutz moved that a committee of five property owners be appointed to draught rules and make suggestions for future conduct in the present emergency. The following gen tlemen were appointed as a committee : Emil Schutz, George Liebe, J. O. Mack, D. M. French. The name of Mayor Mays was afterwards added under pro test who, however, consented to act in an advisory way. The committee sub mitted the following report : We your committee appointed to adopt some measures to protest the city from loss of life and property, do hereby recommend that 1st. We have the utmost confidence in our mayor and city council in con junction with the county and city officers and do suggest the following : 2nd. That there be a police force appointed immediately sufficient to pro tect our property. And that an ordi nance be passed to close all places of business except eating bouses on 'the first alarm of fire, and that no intoxicat ing drinks be dispensed, either in public or private during said conflagration, be it large or small. That any dealer vio lating the ordinance shall forfeit his license. . That all business houses be closed at twelve o'clock midnight, each night hereafter and remain closed nntil five o'clock a. m. We further recom mend that the extra police force at once proceed to clear this town of all persons who cannot give good and sufficient account of themselves and theirbusiness here. E. Schutz, G. A. Liebe, D. M. French, S. L. Brooks, J. O. Mack, Committee. The resolutions were unanimously adopted. A resolution offered by B. S Huntington was passed authoring the meeting the meeting to appoint a com mittee who shall inquire into the causes which led to the late fires and the truth and falsity of certain rumors concerning their origin and their findings be pub lished in the city papers. A motion by Col. Land was carried constituting each citizen a committee of one to report a committee of three any matters coming under their observation in any way con nected with danger to the city. The chair appointed B. S. Huntington, George Watkins and Col. Lang. A resolution by C. L. Phillips was also carried requesting tbe mayor to call a special meeting of the council this after noon in order to take proper steps to carry out the purposes of this meeting, The meeting then adjourned. Others Exiled Poles Displeased at the Appointment of a Russian Tyrant Turk ish Brigands. It is with feelings of more than ordi nary sorrow that we chronicle the death of Joseph P. FitzGerald, son of our es teemed fellow townsman E. P. FitzGer ald; the only death victim, as we fondly hope, of the destructive fire that has left our fair city in ashes. Scarcely twentv- all the while it is a matter of grave doubt in the minds of many if lie can boast of the honor of American citizen ship.

Ramon Velez, of Revista, popular in this city, received a letter from his agent fn Granada, Nic aragua, which states that the chief of police and a number of bis soldiers were shot during the riots in that city August 23rd, and that more than fifty citizen rioters were either killed or wounded. "He says five persons, supporters of the movement against the govern ment of ex-President Chamarro. ex- President Lavala Auselmo Riva, Director Nicaragucnce and Senors Enrigue Gaz- nian and J. D.

It required a supreme effort on the part of the soldiers a number of whom were killed to repel the attack. On August 25th the suspected revolutionists were tried, found guilty and condemned to perpetual exile with the warning they would be immediately shot if found on Nicaraguan soil.

The loss this time is only trifling, but it might have been the complete ruin of the west- end of the city and all the business houses that are left. We do not wish to anticipate tke results of the investaga- tion which the council proposes to make as to the origin of this last fire, but if the statement of Mrs. Brittain is true, and we have no reason to doubt it, it was certainly started by two unknown men whom she alleges she saw, with her own eyes do the deed, and then in their efforts to escape dash past her so closely that they almost touched her. Mrs. Brittian had seen them three or four hours before the fire was started and. suspecting their intentions was dillegently on the watch, but in spite of everything, they made their way over tbe yard fence and the first thing she heard was the noise of their fleeing feet accompanied by the hissing of the fire. But she saw the men so distinctly that she was able to see that one bad no shirt collar while the other wore a dark neck tie, and she believes she wuold know the men if she saw them again. Mrs. Brittian immediately screamed an alarm and the men hastened to search for the criminals but without avaiL Will be Called Upon to Drake lteparatlon, New York, Sept. 4.

Fire at the Fair Grounds Another fire broke out in the stables at the south east corner of the fair grounds, on Saturday evening last, about 8 o'clock which resulted in the de struction of thirty-four speed stables, four of which had to be wrecked to save the fifteen that are left, and consider able harness, blankets, hay, clothing, etc., the property of the owners of the numerous horses" that are in training for the coming fair. Three horses perished in the flames. One of these was the promising three year old trotter owned by McDonald Bros, of this city and valued at $500. Another was. a spotted mare worth about $75 and tbe third was the horse Smoke owned byJChas. Stone and valued at $150. The only persons near the fire at its cammencement were A. J. Swift, Tom Strickland and. E. L. Boynton. These gentlemen did every thing in their power to save the horses which were confined in the stables and deserve very great credit for their work but they were all uuder the impression tha Rexford was the last horse on the east else they might have been able to save them also. As there was no water it was only by hard work that the entire row of buildings and cheds on the south side of the grounds were saved. There is a very strong impression that this fire- was the work of an incendiary and a man has been arrested wh'o has, by all accounts none too good a record to exempt him from the crime. All the property destroyed, amounting in value ts perhaps $2500 was a total loss to the a Confederate Soldier. It was in a well-known hotel in Ban gor. A party of gentlemen were con versing on one subject and another, says the Bangor Ntws. During a lull in the conversation one gentleman noticed a scar on the hand of another and interro gated him as to the cause. The other answered that he received it in a very curious way, and told the following story in regard to it : I got that wound in the battle of Get tysburg. I had been fighting nil day and felt very tired, and so sat down on a rock and shot from there. I was just loading up my gun when a long, lean, lank fellow darted by me, making for the woods like a streak of greased lightning. I up with my gun and let drive at him, but he didn't-drop, and, as I had just shot 999 and didn't want to lose the thousandth. I started after him. I never saw a man run so fast in all my adventurous life, and I could see I was gaining on him, but every once in a while I lost sight of him behind a tree or rock. . I noticed a lull in the fight, and glanc ing aside I saw both armies had stopped fighting and were straining their eyes to see the race. That raised my courage, and I forgot all about being tired. Just then I made a spurt of speed, and as I did so I felt something strike my hand, which spread out like the fan of a windmill. Well, to make a long story short, I caught up with him and was about to collar him when he turned about and tried to stab me. I dodged his blow, and just then something hit him and he fell over dead. I sat down beside him to rest, and as I did so I noticed blood trickling down my hand. On closer investigation I found that there was a bullet hole in the balm of my hand. The dead man bad a bullet in bis breast, and I am positive in my belief that both wounds were made by the same bullet, and that it was the' same bullet that I had fired at the Confed erate. The race was so hot that I caught up with and passed it some time during my chase. That is why I now wear that scar. Poles Displeased at tha Appointment a Kussian Tyrant. St. Petersburg, Sept. 4. The ap pointment of General Komeraff as gov ernor ot Warsaw has been coldly re ceived by the Russian Poles, as the gen eral has a high reputation for severity in puttingdown disaffection. Whilegov-ernor-general of the Transcapian he had an execution nearly every day of nomad natives who had violated some trivial regulation of which they were ignorant. Among KomerafFs victims was the wife of a Russian army officer. The wife, a young woman not long married, was ac cused of nihilism. Komeraff, who knew no higher law than the will of the czar, held a one-sided trial, and sentenced tbe lady to Siberia. Her husband, a capt ain, committed suicide. Komeraff is ac knowledged to be an able commander, and his appointment to Warsaw may mean tbat He is wanted where his mili tary services will be needed. corpse. And this all there is to tell. As we had it from his own lips after the sad accident which has consigned him to a premature rave, without a thought of personal danger, he had simply tried to save some of his father's clothing, when the flames cut him ofTandin theattempt to reach the outer air his arms and hands were reduced to a crisp, while the upper portion of his body and neck and face were severely burned, and as the sequel proveu, nis lungs must nave in haled a portion of the deadlv flame. Everything that human skill could effect was done, but without avail and at eight o'clock last evening, the spirit of Joseph P. FitzGerald forsook its fire scarred ten ement and winged its way to the God who gave it. To the bereaved father, this is more than an ordinary sorrow. The same blow that scattered from bis grasp the fruit of the labors of a long and arduous life has stricken down, in the prime of bis young and hopeful manhood, a beloved and devoted son. Beside this greater loss, the other, terri ble and distressing as it is, pales into nothingness. In the presence of this sorrow, almost the greatest the human heart can know, how poor and meaning less are words of sympathy. Our heart the hearts of all the community go out toward the bereaved family, while our prayer is that the God of all comfort may be their stay and consoler. Poor Joe FitzGerald! Honest, manly, gener ous boy, farewell. ave POIlie i Luiuicia were ut-ing coil- 1 ; I.. , i . , . . . ! he was a eultet auoui new unnuings ana long be- j fore noon some had gone to work to pre- pare the timbers.

Russia Strengthening Her Defenses Along the Austrian Frontier. Berlin, Sept. 4. A Vienna dispatch says that the Russian villages near the Russo-Austrian frontier are thronged with soldiers. The frontier guards, who used to be merely gend'armes to prevent smuggling, have given'a place to whole regiments permanently quartered at every available point, and ready to act as a strong advance guard in pouring in to the Austrian empire in the event of war. Observation towers are being built close tojthe frontier, and the Rus sians are also planning the like erection of three or four large forts to form bases for an invading army. The Russians are also constructing pontoons at Roni that can be used in crossing the Danube. Some of the pontoons are ninety-six feet long and eighteen feet wide," and others are 150 feet long. They are forwarded as rapidly as possible to the various places where pontoons might be required. To Exhibit at the World's Fair. New York, Sept. 4.

A dispatch from the City of Mexico says much indigna tion been caused thereby the publication of the reports in the papers of the United States to tho effect that the peo A short time ago the East Oregonian commented, in its usual reckless and in sulting manner, on a paragraph which it had credited to the Chronicle hut of which not a word ever appeared in this journal. In fact the paragraph was written by Mr. Morgan of the Sun and as it was first wrongfully credited by the Portland Telegram, Mr. Morgan himself called attention editorially to the error, Last night the Times-Mountaineer dished up to its readers the lying comment of the Pendleton paper, when Mr. Michell must have known well that tne para graph never appeared in this journal. The statement is made and copied, of course from the stock lies of the Times- Mountaineer, tiiat -tnis journal was started to kill off the Times-Mountaineer. Everybody here knows, of course, how utterly false the charge is. There is no need for any outside effort to kill the paper. Its brainless and insane editor is killing it off as fast as be can by filling it with matter not fit to appear in any sheet claiming to be respectable. Instead of devoting its colums to giving the news, it is filled, half tbe time, with in sane ravings about the Chronicle. as if any one cared to read the twaddle, and pulling the Chronicle down would build the Times-Mountaineer up. The re sult is as might be expected. Before the Chronicle was seven months old it came within 14 names of having as many subscribers in the county as its contemporary that has seen un existence of over thirty years and as hundreds of new names have been added since, we claim that our weekly circulation is the largest of any paper in the county and our dailv circulation is not less than three times greater than that of our con temporary. This result has been eached by minding our own businss, and only noticing the Times-Mountaineer when necessity compels us to do so a course we intend to continue to pursue. Relief .Honey Exhausted--At the End of Their Supplies. London, Sept. 4. Right Hon. W. L. Jackson, member of parliament for Leeds, financial secretory of the treas ury, and Sir H. E. Maxwell, member of parliament, a junior lord of the treasury, both conservatives, who have returned to London, after a tour of Ireland, un dertaken on behalf of the treasury for the purpose of inquiring into the relief works, such as railways, etc., carried on j under the auspices of the government, state the fund raised by Lord Zetland and Mr. Balfour for the relief of the people in the famine districts has been exhausted, and that it is probable that an additional appeal for aid will be issued. The nationalists declare that the money has in many cases been wasted, and in some instances been di verted from tho purposes for which its donors intended it. They take issue in this respect with Messrs. Jackson and Maxwell, who report that the fund has been carefully administered. That ad ditional appeals will have to be made to the charitable on behalf of the Irish peo ple, at an events, is only too certain. The most gloomy reports come from all Earts of the country. The recent storms ave ruined the hopes of the farmers for a good yield of crops. Cereals are beaten into muddy soil, and, though some farmers will reap the wet grain to save it from rotting in the fields, the I yields will be practically nothing. Po- tatoes in many districts are wofully blighted, and the shortage of that staple crop will cause much distress.

Like the Chicago fire whose origin was perhaps never determined, notwith standing the tradition about Mrs. O'Leary's cow, the origin of The Dalles fire is involved in mystery. At least this much is true; the testimony con cerning it is contradictory. One thing alone is certain, it began in one of two dwellings which stood side by side. One of these was the residence of Mr. F. W. L. Skibbe and the other of Mr. John H. Larsen. We have heard men assert positively that it begun in the former and others as positively that it originated in the latter. We thought the prepon derance of testimony was for the Larsen residence and so said yesterday, but are willing to admit that we have no proof from personal knowledge for either hy pothesis, although we were at the fire a few minutes after it flret broke out. Nor does it matter where it started since there is not the shadow of a reflection resting on any one on account of its ori gin. 3ir. skid De lias lost everytning and is without a dollar of insurance while Mr. Larsen though insured for $300 had fully $1300 worth of property destroyed. a revolution against ine Diaz regime. President Diaz denies the rumors. A COWARDLY INSULT IRISH RACE. TO THE When our evening contemptible quotes a paragraph from the East Oreijonian which was part and parcel of an attack on the Irish race in general and the edi tor of the Ciihonicxk in particular, the Anglomaniacal Cornisliman shows the the spirit tbat is in him. The man who will characterize the Irish peopleas a de graded race, sunk in ignorance and bar barism and the man who quotes part of it is a lying, dirty dog, but in the latter case, is the same man who could propose and drink, and thereby insult American citizenship, the toast "England, She rules the world" and then prate ad nauseam about i the glory of his Anglo Health is Wealth !
