committee on appropriations, but as it
does not have charge of the river and
harbor bill, which will contain the ap
propriations, Senator - Dolph forwarded
it to the commerce committee. . It caused
some amasement in the committee
room, arid one 'of the members said it
looked rather selfish on the part of As-,
toria, after having money for the com
pletion of the jetties at the month of the
Columbia to desire to prevent better
commerce on the river above that town.
It is doubtful if the commerce committee
will take any notice of this petition, and
Senator Dolph will certainly insist that
an appropriation be made for a deep
water channel on the Willamette and
Columbia rivers.

Washington, Jan. 31. The following
is the reply sent by Secretary Blaine to
the Chilian note of apology of the 2otb
inst. :
.'"I am directed by the president to
acknowledge the receipt of Senor Per
eira's dispatch of the 25th inst. It has
been communicated to congress and has
given great pleasure to the people of the
United States and to the executive de
partment, as it restores the correspond
ence between the two republics, to a
basis of cordiality, and makes, as he
believes, a full and honorable adjust
ment of all unsettled matters easny
attainable. The president notes with
gratification the expression of regret for
and condonation of the assault upon the
sailors of the Baltimore, offered by Mr.
Peroira, and congratulates the Chilian
government upon the frank aud ample
withdrawal of the Matta circular and
upon the spirit of justice displayed
toward Minister Egan. You will assure
the Chilian government that the presi
dent will be glad to meet in the most
generous spirit these friendly overtures,
believing that the subject of reparation
for the assault upon the seamen of the
Baltimore is now capable of adiustment
by the two governments by usual diplo
matic methods. The president post
pones for the present any discussion of
the suggestions made by Senor Pierera,
as to the use of other methods, not
doubting that the senseof justice of Chili
will enable the two governments to
speedily and honorably make an end of
the matter.
SATISFACTION KXPKESSEO.
The People of Oil Hi Greatly Keliered by
the New.
' Santiago db Chili, Jan. 30. A dis
patch to the Associated Press late Thurs
day last gave a very brief synopsis of
President Harrsion's second message to
the. American congress relative to Chili's
position in the dispute with the United
States was received, and in a short time
the news spread through the c'ty that
' thereVas no further danger of war, the
tenor of the brief telegraphic reports
showing that the United States was
willing to accept Chili's apology. Pres
ident Harrison's first message caused
great excitement here, where its warlike
utterances were thoroughly discussed in
cafes and other places of public resort,
but the second message caused a revul
sion of feeling and the people generally
becime much calmer, and expressions of
' satisfactiou were heard that the dispute
had been amicably settled through "dip
lomatic channels.
For the first time in four months the
Chilian press is publishing respectful
comments concerning Egan, the United
States minister, and other American of
cfiials, who heretofore have been objects
of many vituberative attacks, and it is
thought the Chilian newspapers hence
forth will be more circumspect in their
utterances regarding America and Amer
icans. Congress adjourned today.
The Company Will Withdraw It Appll.
cation for a Recharter.
Xkw Obleaks, Feb. 8. John A. Mor
ris, of the Louisiana Lottery company,
today issued a lengthy address to the
people of . Louisiana, . setting , forth the
facts in connection with lottery matters.
He says in 1883 he was approached by a
number of democrats of Louisiana, who
urged upon him the propriety of sub
mitting to the legislature a proposition
for a constitutional amendment, which
would grant him and associates the lot-
terv nrivileee for twentv-hve years, in
consideration of a license sufficiently
high to be of material assistance to the
state. He was assured the proposition
would meet with little, if any opposition,
and those suggestions prompted him to
make announcements to the effect that
he would give $500,000 per annum as a
license. After the Mississippi floods, at
the solicitation of a number of gentle
men, lie increased the amount to $1,250,
000. Then began the crusade inside and
outside the state, which resulted in the
enactment by congress of the anti-lottery
postal law. Morris says he was informed
by a number of able attorneys that this
law was a violation of the rights of state
and the freedom of the press, and such,
in their opinion, would be the decision
of the supreme court of the United States.
Realizing now that they had been incor
rect in their opinion of public sentiment,
and not desiring to see . the people of
Louisiana involved in a strife over the
question, Morris declares they would
not accept nor qualify it under the
amendment, even if it were to be adopted
by the people in April next. As the
supreme court of the United States has
decided the anti-lottery postal law con
stitutional, it is his purpose to uphold
that law and abstain from violating it in
any manner. Confident that the grant
ing of another lottery charter would be
the cause of continued agitation, and
discontent on the part of a number of
citizens of Louisiana, he and his asso
ciates would be unwilling to accept such
a charter, even thotigb. it was given
without the payment of $1 license.

London, Jan. 30. The Spectator, in
the course of a long review of the American-Chilian
question, says the tendency
here is to blame the United States for
pressing Chili overmuch. America, it
adds, is one of the greatest nations in
the world and Chili is one of the weak
est. Anv demand, therefore, on the
part of the Union, which is couched in
firm language, is sure to look harsh and
unfair; but, admitting everything in
regard to' harshness, the fact remains,
the United States originally suffered a
substantial injury to which no powerful
civilized state could be expected to sub
mit. In conclusion the Spectator says
the incident has killed Blaine's policy
oJjarmony.
Foul Play Suspected.
Snohomish, Wash., Jan. 80. Word
has just reached this city that City En
gineer McKenzie was found dead yester
day, twenty miles nerth of Granite
Falls, by a prospector. The dead man
was found eighty rods from Camp Inde
pendence. The meager details received
1 sail to the belief that he might have
nuRfwith foul play. He had gone there
to "survey soma mineral claims and wns
alone at the time of his death. The
deceased was twenty-five years old and
was married about three. months ao.
As'oria in Favor of the Dalles Portage.
' Washington, Feb. 3. Senator Dolph
today received a letter from the Chamber
of Commerce at Astoria, int-losiug a set
of resolutions passed by that body, urg
ing congress not to appropriate money
for a deep water channel on the Colum
bia and W lllamette rivers from Astoria
to Portland, but urging that the money
be spent at the Cascade and The Dallas.
This memorial was addressed to
Sir Morrel McKenzie.
London, Feb. 3. Sir Morrel Mac
kenzie, the distinguished physician, who
has been seriously ill with bronchitis,
died today.
Sir Morrel Mackenzie- was born in
Essex in 1837, and was educated in Lon
don, Paris and Vienna. In 1863 he
founded a hospital for diseases of the
throat in Golden square, London. In
the same year' he was elected house
physician to the Ijondonho9pital becom
ing in due couree full physician, and was
appointed lecturer on diseases of the
throat, an appointment he held till the
time of his death. He was the author
of numerous publication on larynlogical
subjects, and in particular of the treat
ment of the diseases of the throat and
nose which is a standard work. He was
in attendance on Emperor Frederick
during the latter's illness, and was
knighted in 1887.
Money to Pay the Tax.
Fakgo, N. D., 'Feb. 3. Lee Lum, a
Chinaman, found illegally in this coun
try four months ago, was arrested at
Grand Forks, but was discharged by
Commissioner Carrol. He was re-arrested
and brought before Commissioner
Spaulding at Fargo. He was ordered
sent to China. Judge Thomas has re
versed this and orders him sent to Can
eda. In order to . cross the Canadian
line $50 must be paid the Canadian gov
ernment by somebody. The prisoner
has no money and the marshal will not
pay it. The prisoner may stay in jail
for an indefinite period.
Chicago Will Build a Wig-wain.
Chicago, Feb. 3. The local commit
tee of democrats to provide for the com
ing national convention has abandoned
all hope of securing the exposition
building, and this afternoon decided to
build 'a wigwam capable of seating
15,000 persons, in whicn the convention
will lie held. A site on the lake front
on which to erect the building will
probably be secured.
Felt in Nebraska.
Omaha, Neb. Feb. 3. A slight shock
of earthquake was felt here about 9:30
tonight,. lasting but a few seconds. In
Jones street a large bank of earth caved
in partly wrecking the frame house No.
145, and burying P. H. Green, his wife
and two children in the debris. Green
was badly injured, but the remainder of
the. family escaped unhurt.
A Ltcht Shock at Olympla.
.Ojlympia, Wash., Feb. 3. A light
shock of ea thquake - was experienced
the ! here about 8 :30 o'clock this evening.
- Nkw York, Feb. 3. Ward Waterbury ,
the 8-vear-old son of Charles P. Water-
bury, a wealthy farmer of Pound Ridge,
Westchester county, was kidnapped by
unknown men Monday morning, while
on his way to school. On that day the
boy started for school at 8 o'clock in the
morning. . As he did not return at the
usual hour in the afternoon his mother
felt anxious about him. In the evening
the boy being still away, the father
went in search of him. He went all around
the neighborhood, but without success.
On his return home he found his
nephew. . Charles Waterbury, waiting
for him with a letter which the nephew
said had been given him by a stranger.
It reads as follows :
"Sir: Unless you are prepared to de
liver the sum of $6000 in cash as a ran
som to us, you will never see your son
again. The money to be at Miller's
bridge, in front of Miller's mill, one
mile east of Bradford courthouse, at
midnight Tuesday."
There was no signature to the letter.
The nephew said it had been given to
him by a rough-looking man whom he
met on the road driving in a- small
wagon.
Pound Ridge. N. Y., Feb. 3. Mr.
Charles P. Waterbury, whose 8-year-old
boy was kidnapped Monday morning,
went to the bank yesterday and drew
out $6000, which he says he will pay to
tne anauctors oi ine enna- ana maKe no
fuss, as soon as they produce the little
one. ine detectives and local ponce
were kept busy driving lrom one place
to another yesterday, hunting through
deserted farmhouses and outbuildings
and in suspicious places, for some trace
of the boy, but at nightfall they had
not succeeded in finding anv. Mr.
Waterbury felt sure that no one took
the child for a grudge against him, but
merely for the sake of a ransom. .
.Later ward waterbury, tne boy kid
napped Monday near Pound Ridge,
Conn., was brought home early this
morning by John Close, of Stanwick,
Conn. The boy had been left at the
home of Close " by a strange man, who
then ran away. .
A Street Car Blown I'p.
Pittsbdro, Feb. 3, A Wood's Run
car of the Manchester line, having on
board thirteen new employes of the
company, was wrecked early this morn
ing by the explosion of a dynamite car-
tride which' had been placed on the
track. Though the concussion was so
severe' that the car waa thrown from the
track and badly wrecked, and windows
were shattered in all the houses on the
side of the street nearest the track over
which the car was running, not one per
son was badlv injured. Several of the
men wre cut by flying glass, but no one
was seriously hurt. Many persons were
thrown out of their beds by the force of
the explosion. The strikes have been
quiet for several days and it was thought
they had abandoned the fight and all
trouble was over.

Dan Voorhees, of Indiana, who hated
Lincoln, has introduced a bill appropri

Douglassville, Ga., Feb. 3. The
first third-party demonstration in Geor
gia was held here' yesterday under the
auspices of C. C. Post. He is the cam
paign leader of the party in the state.
He says that the party intends to cut
off all relationship with the two leading
political parties. There will be a full
state ticket, with C. H. Ellington for
governor. There will also be an elect
oral ticket in the field next November.

It would be a fine feather in the cap of
President Harrison should the efforts
now being made lead to the adoption of
an agreement between the United States,
Great Britain, France and Germany to
adopt international free coinage. That
would settle the silverquestion, and in a
manner satisfactory to all except the
most ultra gold men.
Representative Bushnell of Wisconsin
proposes the following amendment to
the constitution of the United States :
"Polygamy shall never exist within
the United States, or in any place sub
ject to their jurisdiction, and congress
shall have power to make all the needful
laws for the enforcement of the article
and the punishment of its violation."
There dwells in Texarkana, in the
state of Arkansas, a gentle maiden only

should go down that way don't sass her,
for she has a couple of nine-loot

as props for the barn, but could easily
put them on and make you think you

Linkville Star.
This congress district has not a particle
of use for a mere place-seeking nonentity
to step into Mr Hermann's shoes. Un
less a congressman can be secured who
represents something in addition to what
the people now have as well keep Mr.
Hermann. What the people want is a
representative who will do as much to
open our great rivers as he does for the
harbors which are of little use nntil the
rivers are open. Salem Journal.
Demands for space at the world's fair
have exceeded all expectations. The
number of applications several weeks
ago, at which time the last report was
made, reached 15,000, which is nearly
7,000 more than were received by the
centennial management up to the time
of opening its gates. It is clear that
neither the jealousy of New York nor
the parsimony of the democratic con
gress is going to work serious disaster to
this great enterprise. Chicago is mighty
and the world, anxious to display itself
to the best advantage, cares nothing for
Tammany's indignation or Holman's
svstem of economy. It is understood
that no applications for space will be
received after July 1, as it is necessary
to keep the exhibit within reasonable
limits. .
Burke Cochran, the well-known Tam
many representative, has surprised his
democratic colleagues by eloquently ap
proving the rule adopted by the' last
congress of counting a quorum when the
quorum was in the house. Of this . rule
ex-Speaker Reed said yesterdav "It has
had the sanction of every court to which
it has been referred and I think it ought
to have the sanction of this house.
Democratic correspondents at Wash
ington have ceased talking about the
jingoism of Mr. Blaine, and have taken
an entirely different tack. They are
now reporting that Blaine is not at all
in sympathy with the course of the
president in the Chilian affair ; that his
voice was for honeyed words and peace,
and that the relations of the two men
have approached the verge of a rup
ture. The individual reader must de
termine for himself the size of the dose
that he is willing to swallow of these re
ports. Spokane Review.
The Bank of England's doors are now
so finely balanced that the clerk, by
pressing a knob under his desk, can
close the outer doors instantly and they
cannot be opened again except by spec
ial process. This is to prevent the dar
ing and ingenious unemployed of the
great metropolis from robbing the fa
mous institution. The bullion depart-!
ments of this and other great English
banking establishments are nightly sub
merged in several feet of water by the
action of the machinerv. In some of
the London banks the bullion depart
ments are connected with the manager's
sleeping-rooms, and an entrance cannot
be effected without setting off an alarm
near the person's head. If a dishonest
official, during day or night, should take
even so much as one'ii'Oin a pile of a
thousand sovereigns, the whole pile
would instantly sink and a pool of water

The Lane county granges and Alliances
have held a convention and asked each
political party to place in nomination for
the offices of county judge, commissioner
and legislature men who are in sympa
thy with the farming interests of the
state, ine convention disclaimed all
intention of taking any political action
by the organizations represented. It
seem 8 to us this is a proper course to
pursue and the farmers' organizations
all over the state should emphasize the
importance oi tne omces above relerred
to.
A Crook county note savs : It is a
well known .fact that the pestiferous
cayote is increasing his kind in this
county at an alarmingly destructive
rate. Unless a ranchman has' built for
himself a special picket fence, his chick
ens fall an easy prev to the ravenous
jaws of these varmints. Sheepmen are
especially losers in the respect men
tioned. Next snnne the cattle and
horse producers of this county will lose,
on the range, enough of yountr born
stock to justify them in exerting a wil
lingness to suppress tne nuisance men
tioned.
1 he total tax levy for this year, state
and county, is 25 mills, 2 of which are
for road purposes. This is the same as
last year and is made upon the county
assessor's returns instead of on .that of
the board of equalization. The county
court very wisely determined to ignore
the state board of equalization and to
take the assessor's ratings instead of
thos? of the board. It is quite probable
the state board will recede from its po
sition, for it is plainly untenable. The
act creating it did not intend to create a
state board of assessors, but a board of
equalization, and when that board went
into the assessing business on its own
account it got way off its nest. Glacier.
Harney Valley, in this state, contains
a genuine inland sea, for its waters are
saline and a beautiful blue, like those of
the great ocean. It is one of the pretti
est bodies of water that can be found in
the state. In length this sheet is four
teen miles, and it is ten miies wide,
covering an area of over 140 square
miles. The lake is almost entirely sur
rounded by mountains and sandy reefs,
and has a very narrow margin that iii
susceptible of cultivation. It is a veri
table sportsman's parad:se, for in the
spring and fall season 4 its bosom is lit
erally covered with nearly every imag
inable son oi water iowi, irom tne
ittle screaming seagull to the large-
billed pelican and the- graceful swan.
Wild geese are there in millions, the
grey variety, together with the ducks,
remaining all winter and being found
there at all seasons. The authority of
this statement comes from a resident of
the valley, who to'd a reporter.
MARKET REVIEW.
Montt May Resign.
Washington, Jan 30. While it is not
altogether lim probable that Chili may
change her diplomatic representative at
Washington, it is stated authoritavily
this government has taken no steps
whatever looking to that end. That the
president has no ill-feeling against Min
ister Montt is shown by the fact that he
has sent him a personal invitation to
attend the state dinner to be given at
the White House Tuesday, in honor of
the diplomatic corps.
The Republican State Central Com
mittee.
The republican state central commit
tee which met at Portland yesterday,
got through with its. work quietly and
adjourned. The only departure from
the veriest business humdrum occurred
over the question of the place for hold
ing the first congressional convention
and the time of holding the state con
vention. It was finally agreed that no
district convention should be held and
the time for holding the state conven
tion was set for April 6th, and the place
Portland. The time fixed for the state
convention shows that the republicans
are" anxious tor a long campaign. It
waa recommended that the primaries be
held on March 19th and the county con
ventions on March 26th. The repre
sentation was based on the vote for
Binger Hermann in June 1890, and
gives six delegates to Wasco county and
three to Sherman.
