London, March 15. The Behring sell
trouble is causing great anxiety to the
government. ' A question in parliament
was put down on thesnbject by a leading
' torv for vesterdav, but pressure was
brought to bear on him privately by
Balfour to withdraw it, which he did
The truth is that Lord Salisbury finds
no popular sympathy for any policy cal
culated to estrange the United States.
Talk in parliament and political clubs
indicates general amazement that he
should ever run the risk he has done of
promoting bad feelings. It is due to
nothing more than Salisbury's constitu
tional taste for bullying. The moment
he realizes that America will not stand
it, he may le safely counted on to
knuckle down. Bismarck's experience
with Salisbury during the Berlin treaty
negotiations was verv intimate. He
afterwards described the British premier
as being "o lath painted to look like
iron." Salisbury's whole career at the
foreign office is a complete vindication
of Bismarck's view. That Salisbury and
Balfour are not friendly to America is
indisputed. They are both tory aristo
crats, hating all forms of populargovern
ment. T1IK AMERICAN CLAIM.
It is now claimed that by the law of
nations our title is not good, that seals
bora and bred on our soil mav be
slaughtered on the high seas, when by
. the laws of their nature the' are taking
their annual pilgrimage. We are willing
for 'the sake of peace to submit this
question to arbitration. We only ask
that the seals may not be destroyed by
pelagic fishing while the arbitrators are
. sitting. We would gladly share with
'Great Britian the expense and trouble
of maintaining a statu quo pending arbi
tration, and will faithfully and honor
ably abide by its results, but it is asking
too much for us at thesame time to allow
irresponsible, unfriendly neighbors, to
destroy the very subject matter of con
troversy, especially when we have at
our command the means to prevent it,
and as Senator Sherman says, we hope
and trust the executive authorities of
the two countries will find a way to
.bridge this diplomatic difficulty.
LI glit Draft Heavy Carrier.
Dubuque, la., March 15. The Iowa
Works of this city have undertaken to
build a ltoat on an entirely new plan,
the object of which is to navigate the
river and the ocean. It is to be built on
the Lucas plan, and will be the . first
bout of the kind built. It will have one
bow and two sterns, each of which will
have a rudder and screw, so if one is
disabled there will remain half the power
to make port. She will carry an adjusta
ble centerboard, which, it is thought,
will answer the purpose of deeper craft.
The boat will be about 300 feet long and
from 30 to 35 beam. She will be built
entirely of steel and cost $200,000, and
it is expected she will carry a cargo in
weight equaling 00,000 bushels of wheat
on five feet of water. The veesel, when
finished, will be sent with a carge to the
Amazon. She will then go up the river
500 miles or more to the coffee planta
tions, and take from them direct the
products which now have" to be trans
ferred several times before reaching a
market.
Another Railroad Coming:.

San Diego, Cal., March 14. Last
week a force of men driving a tunnel in
the Steele mine, six miles west of
Perry 'Sj in theGavilan district, encount
ered rock which surpassed anything yet
found in the country. Only one assay
has as yet been made, which showed
$9,000 in gold and silver per ton. " The
find created considerable excitement and
claims have advanced rapidly in price.
Within a few days the richness and
extent of the strike will be determined.
Senator Allen Childish.
Washington, March 15." Discussing
in the plainest possible manner the ob
jections to the north side of the Colum
bia river, from Hwaco to Cowlitz, being
attached to- the Paget Sound custom
district, which has it headquarters 300 or
400 miles away, yesterday Senator Dolph
said that he "considered it childish" for
Senator Allen to interpose such trifling
objetions as he did. The remark set
Allen off like a bunch of Chinese fire
crackers. Senator Squire smiled with
the utmost good nature and made no re
ply to Senator Dolph. Both Dolph and
Allen showed a great deal of feeling.
They were both mad and showed it
plainly.. The manner in which both
spoke was dramatic, and everyone in
the hall knew that their blood was up.
Senator Dolph has very clearly shown
UJM1 lb 19 iur tuc guvm v& nio uuuihL
that it was a necessity that was brought
to his attention by the treasury depart
ment. Oregon was not trying to eteal
anything from Washington, but wanted
this' change in the interest ef public
business.

is said he has offered 7,000,000. Mr.
Gould, it is said, desires to make the
castle his winter residence as his physi
cian has advised him that he is no longer
able to stand the rigors of a winter in
New York. The newspapers here have
published the fact that Gould is trying
to buy the castle, and they call upon the
government not to dispose of the famous
domicile.
Hard Traveling in Kentucky.
Whshington, March 16. The funeral
party of congress which accompanied the
remains of the late Congressman Ken
dall to Kentucky, had a very rough ex
perience. From Morehead thev had to
travel in carriages thirty miles, over the
worst roads imaginable, made doubly
disagreeable by a blizzard which raged
all day. They had frequently to take
down fences and drive through fields for
miles; to seek shallow places and ford the
streams. In descending the mountains
the tired horses could not hold the
heavy carriages back and they had to
take hold of the rear axle and hold it
back by main strength. Senator War
ren, who was a member of the com
mittee, was almost frozen to death and
had to be left at a roadside house until
the return. The only food during the
two days euroute was a jar of pickles, a
few sandwiches and hard-boiled eggs.
These were soon frozen stiff and the
party was unable to eat them. One of
the drivers was so badly frozen that he
will probably be crippled for life.

anic, which arrived yesterday from
China and Japan brings news that Lt.

. Sensational V'
SHERIFF DEFENDS THE PRISONER.
And is Shot Through the Heart by a
Bullet Fired in the Court Room.
FCKTUKK TROUBLE BXFECTID.
The Dead Sheriff a Very Popular Man
' and People are Wild Over the
Outrage.
Kansas City, Mo., March 14. Addi
tional details of the lynching near Ozark,
Mo., of John Bright, the wife murderer,
received today show the affair was unu
sually sensational; also that another
death resulted besides Bright's. The
man had been captured and was given a
preliminary trial. A mob of 100 men
quietly gathered around the court house
and sent in twenty-five of their number
to request that the prisoner be turned
over to. them. Ihe presiding judge
pleaded that the law be allowed to take
its CDurse, and Deputy Sheriff Williams,
in charge of the man, suggested it would
be better to listen to the argument of
the judge, as he (Williams) intended to
defend the prisoner with his life. At
the eame time he drew a brace of revol
vers. The spectators in the courtroom,
of whom there were a number, immed
iately began to beat a hasty retreat.
The delegation from the mob started to
ward the prisoner, and Williams raised
his revolver, but before he could shoot,
he was himself shot through the heart by
one of the mob, dying instantly. The
mob then took the prisoner across the
street, and without giving him an oppor
tunity to say a word hanged him in full
view of the court, where he was promised
by law a fair and impartial trial. The
country where the lynching occurred is
wild with excitement. Young Will
iams, the deputy shot by the' mob, was
very popular, and nine of the men who
did the work are well identified. This
morning a large posse, under the guid
ance of the sheriff, started to arrest these
men. Sheriff Cook is brave, and will
search until he finds the men who killed
his deputy. He will be assisted by many
people. While everybody is glad Bright
has been punished for his crime, they
are wild over the killing cf Williams.
When the posse meets the members of
the mob it is feared there will be war.
Wetland and St. Lawrence.
Ottawa, Ont., March 14. In parlia
ment today a lengthy , discussion was
held upon the subject of deepening the
Welland and St. Lawrence Canals so as
to enable ocean steamers to pass through
to load at Duluth and Port Arthur. The
question was brought up by a resolution
introduced by Mr. Dennison, of Toronto,
wbich stated that the United States
government had decided on a twenty
foot draft on the Sault Ste Marie canal,
and, therefore, the Canadian canal sys
tem should be carried to a uniform depth
of twenty feet. Finally, the minister of
railways and canals, in replying on be
half of the government, said the pro
posed deepening of the canals was simply
impossible. The present system he con
sidered far cheaper than the idea pro
posed by Mr. Dennison. The question
of deepening the canals had been fully
gone into by the government, and it was
found it would cost, at the lowest, $75,
000,000. In view of this great expense
he asked Mr. Dennison to withdraw his
resolution, and Mr. Dennison did so.
Walla Walla Park.
Washington, March 14. Senator
Allen today introduced a bill setting
apart certain public land of the Fort
Walla Walla military reservation for a
park for that city. In a petition, which
accompanied the bill, it is stated that
twenty eight acres of this military
reservation is separated from the reserva
tion proper by a county road and by a
railroad track, and that if it is improved
it will make an excellent park. -
Rainmaker's Secret For Sale.
Topeka, Kan., March 14. Two com
panies claiming to have Rainmaker Mel
bournes secret, have been formed. 'They
offer to sell the secret at the rate of $2,500
per county, or will furnish one or two
inches of rain at $560 per county. They
have men at work in the dry regions of
California and Arizona, and claim to
have produced one and one'-balf inches
of rain at Pixley, Cal. A-hem, perhaps.
The Blizzard In Kansas.
Kansas City, March 14. Dispatches
from points all over Kansas report a se
vere blizzard raging. The snow drifts
are as hard as sand. At Newton and
other interior towns the blizzard is re
ported the worst of the season, and trains
are badly delayed. In this city the
blizzard made its appearance shortly
after midnight. The fall of snow is quite
heavy. Indications at noon were for a
speedy cessation, however. - - '..
- A Visionary Scheme.
- Washington, March 16. There was
no small amount of amusement afforded
to Oregonian8 in the - national city, who
are posted, when it was publicly asserted
as one of the reasons why Senator Dolph
wants the Washington shore of - the Col
umbia to remain attached to the Oregon
collections district, that a rival city was
apt to grow up in Pacific or Wahkiakum
counties, and eclipse Astoria. This is
one. of the arguments which made it ap
pear "childish" to Senator Dolph per
haps, when senator. Wilson new in a
passion. To outsiders it looks as if the
"ruling passion for a boom" had taken
shape on the : part of Washington
(state) ; senators in congress, but
Senator Dolph is correct in his stand,
and the boom may be considered a vis
ionary scheme. The Washington sena
tors claim to be as much interested in
the improvement of the Columbia river
as the Oregon men, and they did . not
take kindly to the attempt made by the
people of Astoria to shut off further im
provements for deepening the channel of
the Columbia, making it a great water
highway, and if they can do anything
that will aid in building a town' on the
opposite bank, they will very gladly
avail themselves of the opportunity.
These are the rumors that have been
floating about the capitol today, when
the recent contest between the Oregon
and Washington senators was discussed.
His Royal Health.
New Yoke, March 15. A London
special says Emperor William's recent
extravagances and abbcrations, which
have troubled his familv and friends,
are attributed at court to the fact that
hie ear malady has been very trouble
some lately, and that he has suffered
many paroxysms of most excruciating
pain. His ailment appears to be getting
worse, for the attacks now recur with
increasing frequency, and, as it is pro
nounced incurable, the consequences
will likely be more serious. He gave a
grand ball at the schloss in Berlin last
week, when the melancholy and formal
function was conducted on the lines of a
military review. He was arrayad in the
uniform of Frederick the Great's cuir
assiers, in'blue and white, with powered
hair and pigtail. A company of imper
ial guards, similarly attired, went
hrough the ceremonious full-dress drill
of the last century, when the emperor
entered the ballroom and saluted the
empress in the quaint manner which
was devised by Frederick. - The em
press, wore a costume of the last cen
tury, with powdered hair. : The emperor
selected the costumes and drew up the
programme, and he watched the dancers
with the air of a drill-sergeant inspect
ing a -squad of recruits. If the guest
makes the slightest misstep at a court
ball, the emperor not only laughs loudly,
but audibly criticises' the unlucky per
son to the military circle, which joins in
the merriment, as in duty bound.
The Queen Rewarded.
London, March 15.- Queen Victoria
and her immediate family will be re
warded for her good offices in trying to
settle the Guelph fund dispute by
receiving several million thalers from it.
In his will King George of Hanover, be
queathed to her and her daughters
1,000,000 thalers each. The present
arrangements between the emperor and
the Duke of Cumberland are understood
here to be that the latter shall receive
the capital sum of 16,000,000 thalers and
the simple interest at 4 per cent, which
will make the. total amount of the pay
ment from the Prussian treasury almost
32,000,000 thalers. This sum will be de
livered to the duke probably before sum
mer, and he will then' pay the queen
and her daughters 5,000,000 thalers.
Nasby'." Letters.
McMinnville, Or., March 16. The
sixth paper on the early history of Yam
hill county, by Col. Cal. Cooper, the
"Nasby" of this city, contains some
hitherto unpublished data respecting
the excitement which followed the loca
tion of the Indians on what ia now
known as'the Grand Ronde reservation,
by Col. Palmer in early days. It was
this which brought Sheridan, Hooker
and other notables to old Yamhill where
they got a start along with so many
others, since made famous. Cooper is a
very clever Nasby.
The Blythe Will Contest.
- San Fhancisco, March 15. The ap
peal in the Blythe casd was submitted

be filed by the attorneys representing
other claimants to the millions left by
the late Thomas H. Blythe, an oppor
tunity being given to the counsel for the
respondent and Florence Blythe to file
briefs in reply thereto. The outlook is
that several months will pass before the
final adjudication of the case, if then.

the
Chicago. March 16. News reached
here yesterday of the murder and ' rob
bery of Arthur T. Williams of this city,
who was making a tour of Mexico. The
murder occurred on Sunday, January
31st, near Tehuacan, Oaxaca. He re
mained in Tehuacan some time, and was
quite a favorite with the American col
ony. . On the 2Jth he left to view the
ruins of Nitla and other places of in
terest near that city. .Nothing was
heard of him until news of his . tragic
death reached Tehuacan. His mutila
ted body having been found in a canyon.
After leaving that place it seems that he
proceeded to Puebla, and then took the
Mexican Southern train as far as that
road had at that time been built. There
is no stage line leading from the point
where he left the railroad to Oaxaca,
and he purchased a burro and set out
alone across a wild and nigged country,
inhabited by Indians and Mexican ban
dits. It seems he never reached his des
tination, and had only covered about
seyenty-five kilometers of his jonrney
overland when he was attacked by ban
dits. It is believed that he offered a
brave resistance and was killed while
fighting. His body is pierced with sev
eral bullet wounds. Owing to the
high altitude and dry atmosphere of the
localities where, he met his death, the
body was in a good state of preservation
when discovered.' It was conveyed to
Puebla, where it was readily recognized
as that of tourist Williams by various
persons who had met him dnring his re
cent visit to that place. He had been
robbed of all his money, papers and
other valuables. The remains were in
terred at Puebla, the laws of Mexico not
permitting the removal of a body from
that country until a period of five years
has expired.
Tragedy in Ohio. '
TirriN, O., Marih 15. Walter Sny
der has shot Ed. Naylor, Burt Crobaugh
and Thomas W. Downey, and killed him
self, was the announcement that greeted
the people of Tiffin, going to their places
of business this morning. Snyder was
one of the most popular men in the city.
Naylor and Crobaugh were members of
the firm by which he was employed.
Thomas W. Downey was a fellow clerk.
Naylor and Crobaugh were.recently ad
mitted to partnership with John M.
Naylor in the hardware business. They
were clerks before that, and comment
was made that Snyder was not taken in.
It is since learned that Snyder, though
wot th perhaps $20,000, had his money so
tied up in real estate that he conld not
take an interest in the business. This
seemed perfectly satisfactory to him at
the time, but later it preyed upon his
mind. He entered the store this morn
ing and found the others already there.
He made a pretense of desiring Cro
baugh and Naylor to examine the con
tents of a box which he had just received
by express. When they, were at his
side, he shot them both. He then
turned . the . revolver on Downey, who
entered to cave the lives of the others.
Crobaugh will recover. . Downey was
hit three times. His recovery is not
probable. All stand high. Business is
nearly suspended.
Anarchists In Paris.
New Yobk, March 16. Anarchists in

Over Production In Leather.
Boston, March 16. S. A. Southwick,
who has manufactured leather for the
past thirty-five years in I'eabody, and
who has never shut down on account of
dull business, will close his factory the
middle of the week for an indefinite per
iod, and maj' never resume business at
i Peabody again. Ho thinks the outlook
for an improvement in the leather in
dustry in the east is discouraging, and
that in a short time the market will be
overstocked with the high grades of
leather, which are now keeping out the
large concerns. The only hope for pros
perity in the leather industry is in build
ing up a foreign market for American
boots and shoes. He calculates there
are 65,000,000 people in this country,
and the leather manufacturers can turn
out leather for 95,000,000, and it is this
large overproduction which has ruined
the business. From this there seems to
be no relief except through an export
trade. Mr. Southwick believes that the
tendency of the leather industry is to
ward the west, and that in the future
the greater-part f-the business will be
done there.
Hebrew Banker Falls.
St. " Petersburg, March 16. The
magnitude of bill-discounting operations
between the bankrupt Guenzburg and
Warburg, of Hamburg, has excited
attention. For years the Guenzburgs'
credit remains good, assisted by brilliant
marriages of the daughters of the family
with the Sassoons, of England, and the
Gutmnns, the wealthiest ironmasters of
Austria. . The failure is ascribed to bold
speculations by Baron David Guenzburg,
president of the Paris branch, who de
sired to develop nn entente between
France and Russia, but failed to acquire
'a firm foothold on the Paris bourse.
Several newspapers declare a favorable
settlement of affairs is assured. He
claims 2,260,000 rubles assets, over his
liabilities.
