'Minneapolis., June
8. When the
gavel fell this morning, una delegates
were seated for business, 'a glance over
the convention was convincing proof
that everybody felt like adjourning im
mediately, that they might take a rest
before proceeding to business. The vis
itors to the twin cities numbers close on
to 100,000, and the railway people were
pushed to the verge of their resources to
handle them. .. , ' .
Decidedly the great feature of the con
Tention is the booming clubs. They are
making dreadful efforts to distinguish
themselves'dn the manner that Collis P.
Huntington told Colton was calculated
to offend tle public eye. The trouble
with them is that there is a lack of pic
turesque inventive genius among them,
they are all applying red paint in the
same way. The Iowa republican club,
400 strong, headed by the Iowa state
band, wear long hats and carry red
white and blue umbrellas. They in
dulge in street parades and interfere
with the electric car system. Chairman
Clarkeon is at the head of the club, and
where he goes the club escort him.
Three special trains are needed to carry
the club, its band and umbrellas, and as
there is no place large enough here the
crowd will occupy the Sol Smith Russell
House in St. Paul.
Five hundred free silver men are here
from Colorado, and they parade in white
coats and carry red, white and blue um
brellas. These free silver boomers are
all against Harrison, , and they make
things very Joud in their vicinity.. ,. The
Chicago Senators also carry;; red, jwhite-
and blue umbrellas, march to the music
of a band and parade in the interest of
Blaine. - ,l
The New York delegates used nine
tars to carry them. The train question
gives the Chicago and St. Paul lines a
' good deal of bother. The delegations
that travel in bodies began toarrive Fri
day, and the whole crowd landed here
in three days. At an average of forty
people to the car, which is a fair count,
it took 1,250 cars to land the passengers
on Saturday. ;
Minneapolis is doing some .fine figur
ing on receipts that may or may not be
accurate. The convention is expected
to spend here at least $1,000,000 a day
for five days. That would be an average
of $10 per day on each of 100,000 people,
and up this way that is a very high esti
mate for living, but the, men from the
west and northwest are expected to
spend twice as much as their economical
eastern brethren. Where no special
contracts have been made, and even in
many such cases, rooms without meals
cost from $4 to $8 per night. In the
hotel halls cots with meals are rated at
$4 per day, and a fair kind , of a 'parlor
suit can't be got for less than $40 per
day.
Before this rush came. Minneapolis
cot nervous over the subject of acconi
moda'tions and the house question, but
. the ladies made that all right by taking
all the empty etores and available halls
and establishing lunch rooms.' - - Nelson,
. the big lumberman of little falls, in
jocular way, said that no one should
- starve for he would build a regular lum
berman's cookhouse of logs, and feed the
.. whole, crowd on. beans. He wanted .to
show how they lived in Minnesota camps,
and lie soon had an enormous log house
erected close to the Exposition building.
It nearly drove Minneapolis insane when
St.' Paul published a picture of the
place and solemnly declared that the ac
commodations in Minneapolis, .were so
poor.that the delegates wonld ! be com
pelled : to live on lumbermen's, beans
"They are nervous on the subject of tele-
graphing now, and -that Is why reporters
do not send full particulars. Correspond
ents calculate ou 1,000,000 words a day!
This would be an average of 2,500 words
to each' correspondent, which is not, a
particularly high estimate if it becomes
known that the ' stuff can be handled.
"The Western Union baa pat up five new
lines' to-Chicago, and estimates that it
will be able to handle 600,000 .words a
day if the weather is fair and the -wires
work all right. Work today is-devoted
to just such stuff as can be raked up.
There is nothing doing in the conven
tion, and it is not probable that a ballot
-will be taken before Friday morning. ,

17 miles north" of Grant's pa8?- Tue
cause of the wreck is nnknowd here by

a broken car axle. A. W. Dohlberg, a
bridge foreman sustained a broken leg,
but no one else was'injured. The engine
was not disabled, though the entire
train of 28 cars were thrown off the rails
but nearly all remained on the ties.
The wreck happened on a heavy down
grade, and terminated very fortunately.

Crop Prospects in Kansas.
Toi'uka, Kas., June 9. Asuinniafy of
the crop reports from the correspondents
throughout theT state, 'published ffoday
by the Kansas Farmer, indicates a wheat
acreage equal to that of 'last "year.'" The
condition of the wheat crap has improved
greatly since the -last 'report,' while .oh
general the damage by excessive rains
has been less than was to be expected.

The Walla Walla Journal says: Now
that Prince George 'of Wales has been
made Duke of York, Earl of Inverness
and Baron Killarney, he may be said to
have become not only a titled Welsh
man, but also an Englishman, Scotch
man and Irishman of rank. Thus the
heir presumptive to the British throne
is scattered all over Great Britain in,- a
manner that ' must be conceded fo be
fair. It is lucky that there were titles
enough to go round.

The Ship Bereaa
'rom Pasmsaia t
England.
Voyage-
- London, June - 8. The ' British ship
Berean, from Tasmania, via. Cape Horn,
encountered a remarkable, but.. not , un
usual phenomenon at sea-, viz., a storm
of dust. After crossing the equator she
fell into the northeast trade winds, and
when about 600 miles west of the Cape
de Verde islands, the neaiest land, "the
Berean's sails and rigging were thinly
coated with a very fine powdery dust of
a dark yellow or saffron color, scarcely
discernible on or near the deck, but pro
fuse on the higher part of the rigging,"
so that the sails appeared "tanned."
Fine dust falling on vessels in the Atlan
tic near the Cape de Verde archipelago
has often been reported, but it has so
often been of a reddish hue that it is
known among sailors as "red fog," and
has
been generally supposed to come
from South America. The observation
on board the Berean appears to over
throw this conclusion, and to determine
the African origin both of the Atlantic
dust and the so-called "blood rains" of
southern Europe. Admiral Smyth many
years ago reported, during his stay in
Sicily, March 14, 1814, a "blood rain,"
which "fell in large muddy drops, and de
posited a very minute sand of a yellow-
red color;" quite similar to that now re
ported by the Berean. He then re
garded it as "sirocco dust" from tbe
Airican desert, "crowning the beautiful
theorv of atmospheric . circulation."
Both on the Atlantic ocean and in
Earope these rains of dust have almost
invariably fallen between January and
April ; a period of the year in which the
Sahara is most arid.'." i ?'''' -
The Oil City Disaster.
Oil Cmr, Pa.t June 7. -In accordance
with the proclamation issued by Mayor
Hunt, every place of business in Oil city
was closed, and for the first time since
the disaster attention is being given to
comforting the bereaved living and the
burial of the dead. The mayor's request
was that all business be suspended be
tween the hours of 10 a. m. and G p. m.
today, and the time be spent in recover
ing tbe dead from the terrible disaster ;
that the injured may receive needed at
tention, and that the dead may receive
burial. It was generally observed.
Yesterday everybody was engaged in
searching for the missing, and today the
search, goes on. All. the public places
and many private buildings are draped
in somber emblems, ine nrst inter
ments took place this morning, and
during the day twenty-two persons re
ceived burial. r--

Branded Salmon CanfhV
Astoria': Herald.- , John Dometree, a
fisherman employed by the Bay View
cannery, caught a salmon weighing sixty
pounds on Saturday last near Sand Is
land. The magnificent fish was branded,
and bore the character II. on four por
tions of its body, one on either side or
the tail and one'on each of its Sides near'
the middle. Some think that the sal
mon was branded some time ago by Mr.
George W. Hume, as he has made many
experiments of this nature in order; to
discover the habits of thevChinookand
learn whether they ever return to the
sea after once entering tbe river and pro
ceeding to the head waters to spawn.
LITTCB FBON DR. CORMI.L.
Why he Came to The Dalle What he
Haa Found Here.
! Special to The Chromcu:. ,
j Thk Dalles,-June 3. la The Chroni
cle of yesterday I notice ai article pur-
I porting to give my views of this city and
! the reasons which induced me : to visit j
1 this locality. While the article in ques-'
j tion states the troth so far as it goes yet;
it does not properly present Blithe phra r
ses of the raw, I have -very faithfully,
u'uring the past week, examined the
soil as to its capabilities, and when I
state the results to some of the resid-
... . , ...
ents they are very much astonished.
The fact is many of your old residents j
are not aware that the hillsides and tops, :
in the immediate vicinity on both Side;
m. t w . tvrct, have crops Of i
i grain., and. . fruit : and ; when . they
say that there is. no wheat, land
within fifteen to fifty miles from, here,
and no fruit land at all, on the Grand
Dalles, -side,- they- do so believing the
same to be true. The fact is there is no
waste land oi any account, and the soil
everywhere, in valley or on hill top, is
one of great fertility and well , adapted
for fruit, grain or grazing.' :'.
-. Before going further . I shall relate
briefly how my attention was first di
rected to . your city . and the process
which, led to. my. visit. In the first
place the Columbia river fruit company
endeavored to interest me through their
vice-President Mr. C. C; Foster, a resi
dent of my own city, Saginaw,. Mich.
He is a gentleman . whose integrity is
above reproach, and whose word is as
good as iiis bond. Following this the
Interstate Investment company called
my attention to this point as a location
for a large and prosperous city as soon
as the cascade locks are completed. By
referring to the map I find this the nat
ural outlet for all the products of east
ern Washington, eastern Oregon and
Idaho. If it is the outlet," it is also the
distributing centre. That it is the out
let is as certain as the fact that water
transportation is cheaper than transpor
tation over the Cascade mountains by
rail. This, of itself, should be sufficient
to accomplish the most sanguine expec
tations of the Interstate improvement
company. . A number of my fellow citi
zens invested in lots in Grand Dalles, on
the strength of its geographical position
and certain other representations made
by the above named company. True to
human nature as soon as the invest
ment was 'made many of them sought
information from ' your"" citizens who
ought to know, and occasionally a
reply would be received which would
throw grave doubts ' on the ; future
prospects of this place and impugn
the motives and honesty of its promoters.
As a result I am here to investigate,
which I have done, and must say that I j
am agreeably surprised, and consider the
possibilities for a future city; and that
in the near future; better than any
other point on the North West Coast.
The representations niade to me by the
Investment company I can-now verify,
and if you have any citizen who "feels
sorry" for the eastern investor through
misrepresentations of this company-1
advise him to sleep easily ; taking pre-,
cautions however, for a safe retreat from
the cyclone which is dtie here the ' day
the contract for the completion of the
cascade locks is let. '.,
Now,' I notice Thk Cheoxici.k has a
strong disposition to be loyal to your
city and its best interests, and. in
addition to noting its resources I
would raggeet that you draw atten
tion to this point as a manufacturing
centre. The rapids, just above terminal
bay, will furnish powerforall the manu
facturing plants which may Iocatehere.
.There is no doubt but you should stand
second only to Minneapolis in. theran through Ballon ville and Chestnut
uinuuiavuic u. uvuii All mc it ucHb Jll
the great inland empire should be con
verted into flour here, the offal baing
kept nt home for feeding stock, and the
manufactured 'article exported. -More
has been done in the east to draw atten
tion to this- point than nianv of your
citizens are aware, and instead ol throw
ing cold water on tbe scheme of the In
terstate improvement company they
should give them - s - loyal support. ' If
this were done a beautiful city would
soon adorn the banks of .the ..Columbia.
Whether done or not, there is no power
which-can prevent what nature has des
tined and that is :" a manufacturing city
at this point. D. B. Cobxkli., M. D. '

'.WasRttWTos-, June-9. Repv John De
Witt Warner of New York, perhaps the
staunchest advocate for thenomination of
Mr. Cleveland, is not at. all : cast down
because of the anti-Cleveland' sentiment
in the state, and' -argues ' from- past -experience
that it is a good sign. He said ;
"There is one point that cannot be too
often repeated or too- emphatically in
sisted upon, and that is that the state is
never so safely democratic as when -' the
party has been divided before the elec
tion. The history of past elections ever
since 1372 shows that the years- when
everybody- has been confident, 'we have
lost the state, and when we have been
apparently hopelessly divided and many
people have despaired of our success we
have carried the state. That is the sit
uation this year,' and with 'Mr.-Cleveland
as the candidate the electorial vote
otNew York can be relied upon." '
At the first indication of disorder, the
deranged or enfeebled condition, of the
stomach; live,,:, or bowels,' should be
promptly rectified by Ayer's' Cathartic
Pills. These pills do not gripe, are per
fectly safe to take, and remove all - ten
dency to liver and bowel complaints.

Minor Mention.
CiiicAuoi June 9. The adherents of
Senator Palmer are elated over what Mr.
Depew said in Chicago . respecting the
strength of Senator Palmer in New York.
If Mr. Depews sincerity and judgment
are to be trusted Palmer is' one of the
few men who can unite the discordant
elements of the New York democracy.
According tp Mr. Depew's calculations
there, are 20,000 mugwump and inde
pendent democratic voters in New York.
These would not vote for Morrison, Gor
man or Hill. But Mr. Depew says they
would vote for Senator Palmer. Prob
ably this statement is in the main ac
curate. Senator . Palmer might secure
more votes in New York than any other
democrat. He might outrun any other
democrat in Illinois. He might do al
most as well as Iowa, Indiana and Wis
consin. It is unfortunate for Senator
Palmer that he and his friends have not
taken advantage of his opportunities.
The Springfield convention was over
whelmingly in favor of Palmer instruc
tions, but by the adroitness of the friends
of Mr. Cleveland and Col. Morrison no
iron-clad instructions were permitted to
come before the .convention. The
Palmer idea has had no organization be
hind it. It has drifted without rudder
or sail. It has evoked a good deal of
cheering now and then, but nobody has
put in any steady work to help it along
in the right direction. In the mean
time Congressmen Forinan and Fithian
have been at work winning delegates for
Morrison. It is now claimed that Mor
rison will have a majority of the Illinois
delegates in theconvention at the proper
time.
The Annual Mad Dog Scare.
Willim antic, Conn., June 9. The
selectmen of Killingly met today and
ordered muzzles on all dogs. Neighbor
ing towns are calling their selectmen to
gether to take similar action. A large
hound went mad in east Killingly two
weeks ago, and before it could be killed
bit a score of dogs, several cows and
pigs, and in Dayvillc seriously bit Har
vey Chase of Abington. It is ' reported
that Mr. Chase is ill, and the rabies is
feared. All the dogs bitten were killed,
except two. One owned by William
Cole ran mad yesterday, and in north
rs . "
sterling created great navoc among a
crowd of school children. Three little
girls and one boy were anions its vic
tims ; they are to be sent to the Pasteur
Institute. Two hours later a dog
answering the same description ran
amuck in the streets of Oneco, attack
ing everything in its reach. . It killed 22
sheep, and was finally shot near Line
hill. The other dog, owned in Davville.
Hill into Foster, R. I., where it was
killed. It is the common belief that the
dog days are most prolific of rabies, but
there has been a mad dog scare in this
section during May or June for three
years in succession. -'
"Is this hot enough for you?", is a
silly question ; but if you meet- a man
who complains of suffering from the
heat, ten to one you will find, on inquiry,
that he does not use Ayer's Sarsaprilla

from irritating humors.' '. , ;
' Not Kxactlx Sjnony moiis.
Chicago Mail : Some time ago, upon
tbe occasion of a visit of the Lord Bishop
of the London (Can.) diocese to a friend
here, the Chicagoan gave his children a
preliminary course of instruction in
etiquette before the arrival of the dis
tinguished guestr
"NoW remember, children," was the
last and" most emphatic admonition,
"that you" are not to speak.-unless the
bishop addresses you, and if he speaks
to you you mnst answer, 'Yes, milord,'
or 'No, mllordi but be' sure to add
'milord.' "; ,
After ' dinner the bishop- suddenly
turned to little 5-year-old Johnnie and
remarked ': "I suppose you are a good
little boy, aren't you? Do you go to
Sunday school regularly?"' - '
There was a moment of silence, the
child being too terrified to speak. After
vainly trying to recall the phrase which
his father had sought to inrpress - apon

rushed from the room, leaving the
bishop speechless with astonishment,
and the father horror stricken.
A Tribute to The Late Aag-a Brers."
Ed. Chronicle: It does not often
fall to the lot of man to chronicle any
death more sad than that of one of our
neighbors and friends being drowned.
Mr. Angus Byers was fated, so it seems, .
in tnis way to meet his death drowned
at Celilo Falls Oregon, June 4, 1892, be
tween the hours of ten and eleven a, m.
No human aid could save him. It is '
said that never any one hag been rescued
who has ever been so Unfortunate as to
fall in that part of the ever-to-be-dreaded
Columbia, for the waters are so swift
and treacherous for more than a mile
that no boat could weather the waving
roaming, boiling, turbulant curreLl.
3Ir. Byers was respected by all who
knew him. . He was a hard working,
conscientious man, and trying 80 hard fel
get On well and make a home for the
wife and baby boy whom he loved so
dearly. He was as kind and loving n .
man in his family as I ever saw any
where. He and his little family came
j here since the great fire of last Septem
ber from Spokane Falls, at which place
he was an honored member of good
standing of the I. O. G.T., he had no
bad habits at all. -. He always found
work when others could not. He ex
pected to be at home with wife and baby
that Saturday afternoon at four o'clock
and Mrs. Byers expected him, and had
made everything cheerful and pleasant
for his home-coming when the dreadful
news came that he was forever snatched
from her sight. No one but those who
i.ave experienced a like trial can realize
what a terrible blow it is to the voung
wife.
Mr. Byers first saw tbe light of day in
the village of Dumfrieshire, Ecclefechan,
Scotlaud, twenty-four years ago last
January third. He came to this conn
try about two years ago and was marrie
to Miss Nellie Miller in Spokane, Wash.
Nov. 10, 1890. Their married life was
briefly but happily spent ; but the end
ing was the very essence of sorrow and
grief. Mr. and Mrs. Byers have made
many friends since coming to this city,
who extend their heartfelt sympathy to
the bereaved wife ; and to the relatives
on both this side the Atlantic and ao
cross the water to the heather-covered
hills of Scotland, where dwell his mother
and other relatives. A Friend,

The Copyright Law.
London, June 9. Mr. Justice North,'
in the chancery division of her majesty's
high court of justice, today handed
down his decision in the test copyright
actiou brought by the Times against the
St. James' Gazette. The action was
brought in respect of some ont of a
number of articles or paragraphs that
appeared in the St..' James' Gazette of
April 13th which bad appeared- in the
Times of the same morning. In some of
the cases the source from which the ar
ticles were taken was stated ; in a greater
number it was not.. The plaintiff did
not - claim - copyright in .or sue in
respect of all -the articles or para
graphs reprinted, but only in respect of
such as bad been paid for previously to '
publication. The most prominent article
referred to was one out of a series of let
ters appearing in the Times from North
America, entitled in sight of Monadnock.
The St. James' Gazette of April 13th,
Contained extracts from that letter
amounting in the whole to less than
half and more than a third of the letter.
. . It was printed as extracts from the,
letter in the Times of the same morning,
and in another part of the paper there
was a referenco to it, with comments on
the supposed high payments made to
the authdr and the new departure said
to be taken by the Times in giving the
namo of their paid contributor. Justice
North granted an injunction regarding
the Monadnock article, which he said
the St. James' Gazette had not printed
as an illustration or criticism, but in ex
actly tbe same manner as if" that paper
had written or purchased it. . He said that
there were circumstances, notwitstand
ing the fact that articles were copyright
ed, 'under which the St. James' Gazette
might have copied passages from the
articles. Justice North also decided the
a nest ion of copvright in news and tele
grams in favor of the Times. He said
