- The dispatches inform us that the
United States grand jury, which has
been investigating the dealings of the
Howell Lumber Company of St. Joseph,
Mo., which failed several months ago,
has returned sis indictments against
members of the firm for violation of the
interstate commerce law. It appears
the Howells entered into a secret ar
rangement with the agent and weigh
maater of the Kock Island road whereby
they were able to get such a rebate from
the weight of their shipments of lumber
that they were able to sell at a price be
low ail competition. The action is held
to be in direct violation of the interstate
commerce law. The great trouble con
nected with all arrangements of this
character is to obtain such proof of their
existence as will satisfy the courts. No
sane man, familiar with the facts can
have the shadow of a doubt that the
Union Pacific ia granting special favors
to M. A. Moody in the shipment of
wheat or at least that some arrangement
has been entered into whereby he can
pay the Portland price if necessary
rather than that a pound of it should be
shipped by the people's boats. Months
ago, and before a grain of this year's
crop was ready for market the writer
was informed that zealous friends of Mr.
Moody were spreading the report among
the farmers of this connty that no. mat
ter how low the Kegulator people put
the rate on wheat Mr. Moody would
have an arrangement with- the Union
Pacific whereby he .could pay a higher
price than anybody. Mr. Moody may
never have authorized such a- statement
but it was made notwithstanding and
the writer can furnish, the name of his
inforniant-a thoroughly truthful and
reliable man whenever it becomes
. necessary." Moreover it was no secret,
as numbers in the Pufur and Kingsley
neighborhood can testify. Of course the
result has been a picnic for' the farmers,
especially those of Kliokitat county, but
the five or six cents a bushel extra they
have received for their wheat is practi
cally the premium paid by the Union
Pacific to obtain the farmers' co-operation
in the company's effort to crush the
people's boats.

It is gratifying to know that public

dalle at its next ineetmc. a thing it is
not a bit likely to do, there is no know
ing when it would be completed ; cer
tainly not as long as railroad influence
could prevent it. We have no faith
whatever in obtaining relief, within any
reasonable time, through the general
government. There is therefore noth
ing left for us, as the Chboxicle views
the situation, but to look to our own
state government. With ' a new set of
men in the state legislature, specially
chosen, as far as Eastern Oregon repre
sentatives' are concerned, backed and
reinforced by all the arguments that can
be drawn from the grand success of the
Cascade portage, surely the state would
not refuse to make the needed appropria
tion. . . -
If the patriotic Oregonian blushes with
shame as he contemplates the fact that
Oregon is the laughing stock of the Un
ion for her penuriousness in failing to
provide for a suitable exhibit at the
world's fair, he may comfort himself
with the reflection that the blame rests
on one man's head and that man is
Governor Pennoyer. In his message to
the legislature the governor openly ex
pressed his disapproval of any measure
that would appropriate public money
for an exhibit to be held outside the
state, and it is beyond question that if
the governor had signified his approval
of the measure, at any time when the
bill for an appropriation was pending,
a fcore of his admirers would have
jumped to their feet and bawled them
selves hoarse in its favor. As it was the
governor was pleased beyond measure
when the bill was put out of the way
and we have not a doubt in the world if
it had passed he would have promptly
vetoed it Governor Pennoyer is a good
man and a safe and honest public ser
vant but he killed the world's fair ap
propriation bill, just the same.
The Chronicle has long suspected
that George Francis Train was ec'iting
the Pendleton East Oreqnnian. The
suspicion is now confirmed by proof
strong as holy writ, but as it is of no
earthly interest to the readers of this
journal we refrain from presenting it.
Here, however, is one of George's latest
prononnciamentos: "To tax sugar is .to
raise its value; to tax land by the single
tax system, is to decrease its .value."
That's enough." The editor of this jour
nal owns a piece of land which he ac
quired by the labor of his own . hands
and which he hopes to retain against
old age. and infirmity should he everj
meet them, or to nee a favorite figure!
of our contemporary should he become
a '.'tick," and not able to work for a liv-
mg. The unearned increment
is not confined to the people living trib
utarv to The Dalles. Persons from dis
tant portions of the Inland Empire
have caught the infection and frequently
evince it in a practical way. Wednes
day morning a gentleman from Walla
Walla whose name, we regret to saj,
we could not.obtain, after having been
urged by a runner for the Union Pacific
to buy a ticket for the Baker, turned to
an agent of the people's boats and said,
"I know I can save a dollar and a half
by going by the Baker, but I know too,
what a iifty-ceut ticket by that boat
means. Were it not for the Regulator I
would have to pay $3.53 and if that boat
is left without support I shall have to
pay that amount the next time I come
this way. Although I live in Walla
Walla, I know of the tight you are mak
ing to maintain au open river, and I also
know of the way the Union Pacific
keeps the cinch" on us up there, and that
line won't get a dollar from ine when I
can help it."
The New Grange Store.
We call attention to the new adver
tisement of the Grange store, which is
now located in its new quarters at the
corner of Fourth and Federal streets.
This store needs uo commendatiou to
the readers of the Chronicle. It is as
much the people's store as the Chboxi
cle itself is the people's paper or the
Regulator the people's boat, aud each
enterprise is bound to thrive because it
ought to. Everything in the people's
store is new and fresh and selected only
because it is the best the market affords
for the price. The store is still under
the management of E. N.- Chandler,
who is, as everybody knows, the right
man in the right place. The store was
started to furnish the farmers and gen
eral public with good goods at living
rates and no effort will be spared to
carry out this intention. Customers of
the grange store can therefore rely on
obtaining good goods, low prices and
honest treatment.

The purpose is to make this demonstra
tion unprecedented in the naval history
of the United States. Every available
warship which floats the United States
flag will take part in the movements.
For the time being thc squadrons which
maneuver iu foreign parts will be broken
up and absorbed in the main rendezvous
at Valparaiso. The new ships 'and
those which are being repaired in the
navy-yards will be centered in Chilian
waters. It is ' believed the' mere pres
ence of this naval force will tie sufficient
to force the Chilians into an immediate
response. If it is not, it will then lie for
congress to decide upon the future
course, and if need lie, issue a formal
declaration of war. So far as the execu
tive and naval authorities can act, the
massing of the fleet before Valparaiso
will express their disapproval of Chili's
course. It is the desire to prepare for
this rendezvous which causes the present
rush in the navy-yards."
INDIGNANT OFFICERS.
Do Not Like tho Tone of the English
Newspaxiers.
Washington, Nov. 11. Much indig-
nation is expressed at the state and
naval departments at the conduct of cer
tain English newspapers in ascribing
foolish sentiments and remarks to Min
ister Egan and Captain Schley, in con
nection with the pending questions be
tween the Chilian and United States
governments. No- one here believes
what the papers assert, and the opinion
is held in the departments that the
English papers in question are engaged
in an effort to foment the growth of a
feeling of animosity by the Chilians
against the people of the United States!
In the case of Rrazil, no word is re
ceived from Minister Conger tending to
confirm the story of the revolt ot three
of the principal Brazilian provinces,
which was also reported from English
sources. There is a disposition here also
to attribute to the English papers a de
sire to embarrass the Brazilian authori
ties, who were- responsible for the nego
itation of the reciprocity treaty with
the United. States, inasmuch as this ar
rangement has already sensibly ex
tended the commerce between Brazil
and the United States. Tho closest in
quiry failed to elicit any further inform
ation respecting the details of the agree
ment reached by the United States and
Groat Britain to submit the Behring
sea case to arbitration.
Thc fire is thought to be incendiary.
The total loss is estimated ut $7,500.
Insurance $2000.
Most of the horses burned were valu
able roadsters sent here from Portland
to be wintered. Council thinks
the lire was set by parties whon he had
ordered off his hunting grounds. Later
estimate places the loss at $10,000.
Another Severe Storm for England.
London, Nov. 11. Last night a heavy
gale set in in the south of England and
Ireland, and already a few dispatches
have been received telling of wrecks
caused by the storm. From Hythe, on
the English channel, comes a report
of an English schooner, whose crew
reached shore safely, but the captain
and his wife and son perished. AtSand
Gate the ship Ben Venus was wrecked,
her crew took to the rigging, and an at
tempt was made by the life savers to
rescue them, but the sea was too high.
Another vessel is reported ashore close
to where the Ben Venus went ashore.
Apart from the political significance
of the late elections the interests of good
' government and a pure ballot have been
highly subserved by the new system of
voting known as the Australian ballot
law. On all hands, wherever tried, it
' seems to have met with general approval
and we predict that time and experience
will justify the present impression in its
favor. With us it is yet an untried ex'
periment but almost any system would
be an improvement on the old method
of the ward strikers coralling voters in a
back room, filling them full of whiskey,
fixing their tickets and leading them up
to-the polls like bo many silly sheep.

Shanghai, Nov. 11. Intense excite

eigners in China are in extreme peril,.
A chief of the great secret society, Kalao
Hin, has been arrested in the French
concession at Shanghai. The viceroy at
Nankin lias ordered him to be tortured,
hoping he. will betray his accomplices;
if not, he is to be beheaded. The whole
province is in a state of siege and revolt.
Seditious placards are posted every
where. The European ministers at
Pekin are seemingly indifferent. The
Chinese ministers and officers fraternize
with and call them friends, banquet
them and get up fetes for them every
day. The result of this is that the for
eign residents' indignation is beyond
expression.

little later and went through all the
boxes. They compelled us to hand ovev
our keys. They dumped the boxes out
and com.:.anded thc engineer to stop
the train. The engineer and fireman
on the road bed. One of the robbers
kept us covered with his musket all the
time while the other superintended
the operations. He secured all the bills
of money contained in the safe. It is
very probable that the total amount of
the robbers' booty will amount to $100,
000 and possibly more."
Agent John F. Bell, of life American
Express company, said to a reporter
that the approximate statement of the
j amount taken by the robbers could not
be learned. He said: "$5000 in local
packages is certainly gone, besides a
sum contained in two sealed envelopes.
Some of the passengers who were sound
asleep did not know anything about the
hold-up until the train arrived at Mil
waukee. Some of the passengers
thought there were twenty or thirty
robbers, others thought they 6aw only a
dozen, while some said there were more
robbers than passengers. When the
train started np again the passengers
saw thc safes lying beside the track bnt
the robbers had disappeared. When
the train arrived at the Union depot at
2:20 o'clock the express presented a
sight that would indicate that it had !
been attacked by heavy artillery.
Every door and window was blown off
and thc platform and walls shattered in
half a dozen places, while t le contents
of the car were piled indiscriminately in
a heap in the center of it.
A dispatch just received here states
that the robbers did not get away with
the booty. The robbers after gaining
admission to the express car com
manded the messenger to open the safes.
He refused, and the safes were pitched
out of the car onto the ground. In the
meantime the rear brakeman under
standing the situation rushed back to
the junction und got an engine and
posse at once and went to the scene, and
the robbers fled. The robljers had tried
to force open the doors of the safe but
were, unsuccessful.
