Washington, Sept." 18. Sir Julian
Pauncefate, British minister, officially
called the attention of the United States
to the violation of the term of modus
vivendi in effect between the two coun
tries as to catching seal in Behring Sea
by agreement between the two coun
tries. The North American Commercial
company, which leases Seal Island from
the United States, was restricted Jn its
catch of seal this year to 7000 skins, but
it is alleged that the Commercial com
pany has exceeded the catch. Special
Agent Williams in his report, it is un
derstood, makes the admission that the
North American Commercial company
exceeded the limit of the catch fixed by
the modus vivendi, The matter is re
garded as quite important, and it may
lead to the modus vivendi being declared
in operation after this date.
It now Transpires That England dlil not j
Capture Mitylane Island. j
London, Sept. lfi. The public are
I anxiously waiting for a distinct official j
denial or admission of the news about j
the seizure of Mitylene. So far, the de- j
nials have been qualified in a way -that j
implies a foundation for the story. Ad- j
vices received from Berlin and Vienna j
state that the news was received with j
amazement in government circles, fol
lowed by a lively use of the wire in con- j
Lnection with the legations at Constanti
nople. The Berlin government, from all
that can be learned, anticipated war at
an early date but did not think it would
originate at the Dardanelles. The Dar
danelles question, it was thought, would
bo settled by diplomacy, and the Franco- j
Prussian or Austro-Russian frontier !

THE ST.' LOUIS CONTENTION.
Aetloa Taken by the Farmers and
borers Assembled There.
St. Louis, Sept. 16. The farmers'
and laborers' convention reassembled
this morning. The resolutions which
were considered yesterday were brought
up and adopted by a good majority.
The committee on permanent organiza
tion reported. It provided for the ap
pointment of & committee of seven,
which is authorized to submit to the
next supreme council at the Ocala con
vention; also,- that the committee be
antborized to file the objections of the
convention to the passage of any resolu
tion whatever binding the individual
membership of the alliance to any po
litical course of action.
OTHEB RESOLUTION'S ADOPTKD.
A. b. mitn, of Missouri, presented a
.-. resolution, which was adopted, declar
ing the sole object to prevent the con-
- vention to be to express an opposition to
. the proposed sub-treasury and land-loan
enactment, and to institute an educa
tional movement in that ' direction,
thereby bringing the farmers' alliance
- back to those principles of wisdom, jus
tice and fraternity on which it was origi
nally based. - The following resolution
was also adopted : .
- we recommend mat the members in
- each state, who oppose the sub-treasury
and land loan scheme and government
ownership of railroads, and were not
present in this meeting, be respectfully
invited to co-operate with us, and re
quested to proceed to organize and elect
one member from each state, who shall
become a member of the national cen
tral committee, provided for in the re
port of the committee on permanent or
ganization. DECLINED TO TALK.
capitals. The new Turkish minister of
the interior telegraphed to the British
ambassador at Constantinople, Sir
William White, asking the latter to ex
glain the reports of the landing of the
ritish force on Turkish territory. Sir
William, in reply, said he was entirely
ignorant of the whole affair, but it was
probable that the crews of , some British
war snip mignt nave lanaea on tnc is
land of Mitylene in the course of regular
boat drills and landing exercises, ine
British ambassadors assured the Turkish
minister that no fortifications had been
constructed on the island by the British
troops. This view of the case was con
firmed by dispatches received during the
night, which stated that the force that
had landed form the British war ships
has re-embarked and that the men-of-war
had left the island of Mitylene for
Marmorito. The affair caused great ex
citement in diplomatic circles for a short
time, and it is still asserted that these
same "maneuvers" had at least the pur
pose of showing the sultan and his ad
visers how easily England could change
her boat drills and landing exercises off
the island of Mitylene into a dangerous
reality.
The News and Chronicle both sav the
report of the occupation of Sigrl cannot
be without foundation and that, if true,
the seizure will be nothing less than a
bellicose act of which Lord Salisbury
could hardly have been capable, since he
escaped ueaconsneia's influence, mey
hope the government will, without delay,
inform the public of the real facts.

the keys taken from him. The guard
quietly unlocked the jail and the cell oc
cupied by Ortis, and he was told "to get
up," that he wanted down town. "All
right," reqlied the culprit. He was led
from the jail to the iron bridge, where
they asked him if he had anything to
sav, to which he replied, "I would like a
glass of water and a priest." Me then
gave the names and told where his rela
tives resided, and requested that they
be written to, but that they should not
be informed of the manner of his death.
He was informed thnt a priest was not
present, and that his request in that
particular could not be complied with.
He was given a drink of water, also 'a
flask of whisky, which he drank eagerly.
Quickly his feet and hands were tied, and
a rope thrown over a cross beam of the
bridge, and at the command, "Haul
Away!" he was suspended between
heaven and earth, and in a few moments
life was extinct.

Pennsylvania Alliance Men to Choose
Their Own Candidates.
Greknsbcrg, Pa., Sept. 16. There
were probably 200 delegates at the con
vention of the people's party. F. R.
Agnew presided. A resolution was
adopted recommending every citizen to
vote as he pleased on the constitutional
convention question. The platform
adopted recommends :
The abolition of national banks as
banks of issue and the substitution of
greenbacks for national-bank notes, con
demns alien ownership of land and land
holding by railway companies in excess
of that necessary to their traffic; de
mands free and unlimited silver coinage,
equal taxation, a graduated income tax,
government control, and if necessary,
ownership of railroads, and a direct vote
of the people for president, vice-president
and United States senators. It also
recommends that the government loan
money at two per cent, on real estate
and non perishable products.
The platform was adopted, and it was
decided to organize a state committee
and issue an address. An attempt was

DENIED TO PALESTINE.
Twelve Hundred People Drowned
330 Building Destroyed.
Madrid, Sept. 18. The bodies of 1200
victims of the flood at Consuegra have
been buried. The town has a mournful
aspect. Official reports of the disaster
say that &3U buildings nave vanisnea
ffom their sites, while 150 are in a pre
carious condition and need to be demol
ished. Ten men are under arrest at
Consuegra, charged with robbing the
dead. The damage done by the floods
is now estimated at $4,000,000. The i
River Arguy-Allo, as a result of. the j
flood, has changed its course to a con
siderable extent.
NATURAL GAS AS A MECHAN
ICAL FORCE.
The discovery of natural gas in Can
ada has been followed by another dis
covery of a very interesting and prom
ising character. Tu a building belong
ing to the Provincial Natural Gas com
pany at International Bridge, Out., there
is a novel and exceedingly simple plant
which turns out beautifully clear and
solid slabs of ice during the hottest day
in summer, in much quicker time than
nature backed up by a Canadian winter
could do. The plant consists solely of a
small vertical steam engine of ordinary
build and a tank of biine in which is
located a coil of gas pipe. The natural
gas is brought from a well eight miles
distant, where it shows a pressure of 500
pounds, but by the time, it reaches the j
engine it is reduced to 170 pounds. The
pressure -when appliein the steam
chest of the engine aets precisely as
steam and generates immediate and ex
traordinary power. The effect of this
execution upon the gas is to rob it of all
heat and reduce the temperature. Soon
after the engine gets at work the pipes
from the steam chest and a portion of
the chest itself are coated with frost.
The exhaust gas posses through the coil
in the tank, reduced from 60 degrees
above zero, in the full pipe, to 80 degrees
below zero in the exhaust. Into the
tank of brine are immersed several gal
vanized iron moulds about 14x28 and
four inches thick, filled with pure water.
About ten hours suffices to freeze these
solid. The discovery means that power
can be produced from natural gas with
out steam, without a boiler, without
water power, without any assistance
whatever! Besides this is the use of the
cold gas for the manufacture of ice and
the fact that no gas is injured, burned
or wasted. It all passes into the main
retaining all its heating and illuminating
properties. The inventor is F. P. Skin
ner of Buffalo and he seems to have
struck a rich find.
i
held in July at The Dalles only cost the j
taxpayers of the State $32,000," and then
proceeds to deliver the usual homily on
legislative jobbery and official corrup
tion, etc. The truth is that the entire
expenses of the encampments at Eugene,
Portland ami The Dalles was $32,000.
That at The Dalles cost for everything
about $0000. That $32,000 was no verv
extravagant sum to spend on a state mi
litia might be inferred from the fact that
California spent this year, for the same
purpose, no less than $150,000. It might
stop all kicking if the militia were dis
banded altogether, and when any tronble
arose requiring extra aid for Its suppres
sion call Pinkerton and Sullivan's
thugs over from Washington, where
the' seem not to he properly appre
ciated.
The story told of the parting of Secre
taries Blaine and Rusk a few months
ago, when the latter was about to leave
with the president for California, is es
peciany relevant now. The two men
are warm personal friends. "Jere,"
said the secretary of state, "there is one
thing I want to ask of you, and that, is
that you will take good care of my
reciprocity." "Yes, certainly," was the
apt reply; "I will do that all right.
! And now, there is one thing I want to
ask of you look after my hog." No
treaty negotiated or negotiable under the
reciprocity clause of the McKinley bill
can compare in the importance of its
bearing on American agriculture and
trade to the removal of the invidious re
strictions upon the importatied of Ameri
can swine meat. In establishing a sys
tem of inspection which had the effect
to remove the restriction Secretary Rusk
did more than the state department
could possibly have done to enlarge the
market for American products.
Musical World Excited.
London, Sept. 20. The musical world
is excited over the discovery by Duwden
in an old bookshop in Dublin of a copy
of the original book of the words of
Handel's Messiah, printed for the first
performance in Dublin in 1842, of which
not a single copy was hitherto known to j
have survived. It shows the storv that
the Hallelujah Chorus was written
the end of the work and placed in
present position because Handel found
the work was dragging, to be unfounded.

TWO FACTS AND AN ARGUMENT.
Fatal Collision.
At four o'clock yesterday morning, at
Port Neuf station,, six miles east of
Boise City, two passenger trains belong
ing to the Union Pacific company colli
ded, killing five men and seriously injur
ing seven others.' The killed and injured
are:
Killed L. Weidemeyer, mail clerk
from Huntington to Cheyenne and four
Indians from the Fort Hall reservation.
Injured Engineer Charles Hoyt,
Chris Mackens, P. P. Gunderson, two
tramps, Mail Clerk Lyons and a squaw.
The accident is attributable to defective
air brakes.
MINK EXPLOSION.
Itnasian Jew Not Allowed to LaDd at
Jaffa.
London, Sept. 18. The pathetic spec
tacle of denying . the JewB admission
even to Palestine was witnessed last
week at the port of Jaffa. The exiled
Hebrews had to go back withont being
permitted to set foot on shore. The
Jews then applied at various ports, but
were rejected at all of them. They were
then conveyed to Crorus. In the city of
Jerusalem the Turkish authorities are
enforcing regulations calculated to an-
made to capture the convention for the noy the Jewish residents and induce
democratic nominee for state treasurer.
bnt it fell through. No ticket was nom
inated, and the convention adjourned.
Choice for President.
Sakatoga, Sept. 16. A poll was taken
of the 491 delegates to the' New York
democratic convention' held at Sara
toga by New York World reporters.
This was the question : "Who is your
choice for ' the democratic nomination
for president in 1892?" A summary of
the answers is as follows :
For David B. Hill 246
G rover Cleveland 83
James E. Campbell S
William C. Whitney 3
Arthur P. Gorman . 3
Alfred C. Cbapin 1
Non-committal 153
Total.. .....491
The Kings county delegates were for
Hill originally, but when they discovered
that Chapin's gubernational aspirations
were sure to be ignored, . they turned
into an equally solid Cleveland band,
and proclaimed their preference for the
ex-president with as much enthusiasm
as they had manifested earlier for Hill.
But for this change Hill would have re
ceived 280 and Cleveland 58.
A Texas Road In Trouble.
Dallas, Tex., Sept. 16. Judge
Bainey, at Waxahatchie, yesterday de
clared the charter of the Texas Trunk
railroad forfeited to the state, and today
named John H. Gaston, of Dallas, re
ceiver. The Trunk line is now without
a charter and has three receivers Dil

Dalles ; ana Gaston, named by Judge
Rainey, of the district court. . Mean

them to leave. Nevertheless an English
tourist writing from Palestine says the
soil cf the country is ample for the sup
port of a large population, and that vir
tually no attempt is now made to work
it. The same writer thinks that the
sultan would readily grant the Jews ac
cess to the Holy Land, provided he re
ceived a large sum of money for the
privilege-, and that he will not until then
relax the existing situation.
England Ready For Action.
Washington, Sept. 18. Senor Celeo
Balsar Mareno, a well-known Italian
American residing here,, and acting as
an agent in this country of the National
party of Hawaii, corresponding to the
Chilian congressionalists, today laid be
fore the president a letter he recently re
ceived from a correspondent in Hono
lulu, asserting that England is now plan
ning to take possession of the kingdom.
The writer said that some action on the
part of ?he United States is necessary ;
that the queen Is favorable to British
interests, and is ready to countenance
the move when made. The president
was interested by the letter, and asked
Senor Mareno to communicate with Sec
retary Blaine. .

today a mob took from the county jai
Anton Sieboldt, who brutally murdered
James Meighan last Wednesday, and
hanged him. The city is in a state of
great excitement.
The Report Confirmed.
New Ycbk, Sept. 21. A dispatch to
the associated press under date of Santi
ago, September 21, from Minister
Patrick Egan, confirms the published
reports of the t uietde of President Bal
seeds. . j
Tomorrow, Tuesday, the 23rd of Sep
September, the boats of The Dalles,
Portland and Astoria Navigation com
pany will make through connection, for
freights and passengers, with Portland.
The benefits that the new line will be to
the traveling public were well illustrated
today by two instances that came nnder
the writer's notice. A gentleman ar
here Saturday, from Nebraska, by
team, on his way across the mountains.
Conferring with the Union Pacific offi
cials he found that it would cost him $29
to get to Portland by the company's
boats. After he had given up all notion
of going by the river and had purchased
feed for the overland trip, by the Bar
low route, he accidentaly heard that the
Regulator would make through connect
ion with Portland tomorrow. Enquir
ies as to cost of freight resulted in the
discovery that the people's line would
carry him and his freight to Portland
for $14. Another gentleman, a farmer,
well known in the county, wished to
more his family, two span of horses,
three cows, a wagon and miscellaneous
household effects, to Portland. The U.
P. schedule rates for the whole ship
ment would have been $53.25. He goes
by the Regulator for $29, and saves the
neat little sum of $24.25. Here are two
farmers; one saves $15, and the other,
$24.25, on one little shipment each.
These are the arguments that go to
prove that farmers ought to stand by the
new line of boats and mark every man
who doesn't.
r The Dispatch complains that the firm
of Scott A Pit toe k is running both the
Oregonian and the Telegram "a repub
lican morning edition and a prepared
democratic edition just to hold the field
and make money for the rich owners
and keep out competion." Well, what
if they are? In that case they are run
ning the two best papers published in
Portland. And even the Dispatch, dem
ocratic as it is, cannot charge the Tele
gram with not being as soundly demo
cratic as itself. As to the three motives
which are supposed to influence the con
duct of Messrs. Scott & Pittock the de
sire to hold the field and make money
and keep out competition, there is not a
newspaper in Portland nor anywhere
else, not even excepting the Dispatch,
that is not influenced in the same war.
A NEW
The Portland Dispatch exhorts all per
sons "having at heart the business and
material welfare of the country to refuse
to enter into any agreement to pay only
in gold coin," and denounces as guilty of
treason the men who made it legal for
the money lender to stipulate that a
debt shall be paid only in this metal.
The Dispatch does not go far enough. It
ought to show us how we can compel the
g Esfabiishment !

gentlemen who would like to step into
Binger's boots. The rest of Oregon has
not been agitated for a second.
SUPPORT THE NEW BOATS.
A few days more and the relief that
the people of this section have prayed
for during so many years will be an ac
complished fact. The river will be
opened to Portland and freights will be
reduced to a rate that will put thous
ands of dollars annually in the pockets
of producers and consumers alike. The
men who have put their money into The
Dalles, Portland & Astoria Navigation
Co.'s stock have not done so with the
expectation of reaping any direct bene
fit from the investment. They will be
berfectly satisfied if the traffic will se
cure them from direct loss, and they are
more than entitled to this exemption.
But this lies with the people ; end every
man, woman and child who has a dollar
to invest in freight between this city and
Portland ought to make a conscience of
seeing that the new company gets it.
If not if by any adverse fortune, or by
the opposition of the Union Pacific com
pany we should be reduced to the con
dition we have been in during the past,
the people themselves, who would reap
the benefit of the opposition, will be to
blame. The farmers will undoubtedly
stay with the new company, but they
should mark every merchant or business
man in this city or elsewhere who does
not support it.
And now since the people of Wasco
and Sherman counties have gained their
freedom through our assistance, we hope
they will not fail to assist us in remov
ing the barriers which stand in the way
of an open river from the plains to the
sea. East Oregonian. Niver fear, Mis
ther Jackson. We'll shtay wid yez.

The Aslorian and its correspondents
are discussing the question whether 1799
or 1800 was the last year of the past een"

the last year and, of course, it is right.
The past century- began January 1st
1801 ; its last day will be December 31st

A correspondent of the Moro Newt
writing from Grass Valley, makes some
very unjust aspersions on the owners of
the Regulator because, in the list of
those invited to the trial trip; there was
a marked "lack of farmers." The
writer is perhaps not aware that the in
vitations to the trial trip were issued by
the contractors, Paquet. & Smith, to
whom the boat belonged until after the
trip when, being accepted, she was
turned over next day to the directors of
the new company. The. directors . had
no right to invite anybody and did not
invite anybody. While there did not
seem to be any cast iron rule about It,
those invited were chiefly stockholders
and their families and the representa
tives of the press. They were in no
sense of the "upper ten ;" hut even if
they were the directors had no hand in
the invitation and should not be blamed.
If there was a lack of farmers at the ex
cursion it was only because there is a
lack of farmers among the stockholders.

It's an ill wind that blows nobody

who got the persimmon. Several
months ago, when trade in The Dalles
was rather dull, two carpenters, part

Fossil. They soon got contracts here
sufficient to keep them employed for
months. One partner, J. W. Elton, re
turned to The Dalles to dispose of his
property there and bring his family to
Fossil, the other, W. P. Mounts, re
mained here until last week, when he
received a letter from Elton informing
him that he was unable to take half the
building contracts be could get in The
Dalles, that he had six men at work, and
requesting Mounts to come right away.
Accordingly Mr. Mounts procured
another carpenter to finish the job on
which be was at work, and left for The
