New Yohk, Oct. 18. Attorney-Gen
eral John B. Stockton, of New Jersey,
struck a hard blow vesterdav at the
Heading coal combination. With Judge
Fredrick V. Stevens, who has been as
sociated with him in the case on behalf
of the state, he appeared in the chan
cellor's chambers in Jersey City and
asked that a receiver be appointed to
take charge of the New Jersey Central
railroad and the Easton and Amboy
railroad, and to enforce Chancellor Mc-
Gill's injunction against all the railroads
in the coal combination in New Jersey.
The two informations were filed. The
chancellor granted without hesitation
the prayers in both, and made the writs
returnable October 27th. The prompt
ness with which the prayers were granted
is to lawyers familiar .with court pro
ceedure an almost positive indication
that a receiver be appointed, particular
ly as the attorney general has filed with
his papers a mass of evidence showing
that the temporary and permanent
orders of the court forbidding increases
in the price of coal have been ignored
and violated. Now the chancellor is
asked to enforce his own order by ap
pointing a receiver for the coal roads in
' New Jersey, and the lawyers say he can
not fail to do this. - When this action
shall have been taken, no Heading coal
can pass through the state of New Jersey
until prices are reduced.
Never Changes His Shirt.
Somerville, N. J., Oct. 18. Harry
Hilliard Wylie. with only 10 cents in his
pocket, passed through here on his bicy
cle this morning en route to Chicago.
He is trying to show how cheaply a man
-can beat his way on a wheel. This is the
outcome of a wager between two rival
firms, one of whose wheels Wylie is rid
ing. The plucky rider left New York
arly yesterday morning and met with
sys first difficulty in endeavoring to beat
Ins way accross the ferry. He carries
little book, in which he records the
name of every person who aids him with
a ijickel or lodging. His cheek and
wheel comprise his stock in trade. He
xpects to go through Philadelphia:
Hagerstown, Md., Wheeling, W. Va,
Columbus, O., and Indianapolis. Mr.
Wylye has only recently completed
trip from New York to Washington and
return, with a total expenditure of only
30 cents. He carries no baggage except
a runner coat.
Mexican Central Strike.
san antonio, lex., uct. 18. it is re-
ported that the Mexican Central rail
road is threatened with a general strike
The trouble began three days ago when
the American machinists in the shops
in the city of Mexico went out for an in
crease of wage?. Dissatisfaction spread
to the shops at San Luis Potosi and the
. machinists there also walked out. The
engineers and firemen are expected to
quit work if the machinists' demands
are not granted. President Jeffery, of
the Bio Grande road, late last night is
sued his ultimatum to the striking
trainmen to report for duty this morn
ing or consider themselves discharged.
. Jeffery further says he will not treat
with any committee from the strikers
until all trains are moving according to
the schedule, when he will consider all
grievances.

epoicane review. Millions of acres
of public lands have been thrown open
to settlement under President Harri
son's administration; commencing with
Oklahoma, which will one day be a great
state, and concluding up to date with
the opening of the Crow Indian reser
vation in Southern Montana and the
.conclusion of the negotiations for the

Jacksonville Times. The session of
the Oregon Press Association," held at
The Dalles last week, was well attended
and proved full of interest as well as of
considerable benefit to the newspaperial
fraternity. The journalists were band
somelv entertained by the people of The
Dalles, who snared no pains to make
their stay enjoyable. An excursion to
Spokane was next participated in, which
also proved full of incident and quite en
joyable. We will have more to say of
this matter in the next issue of the
Times.
Valley Transcriptl The Oregon press
association have had a pleasant and
profitable meeting a The Dalles during
the past week. The Transcript did not
need the telegraphic reports to know
that the brethren of the press would be
royally entertained at the neat little
city at the gateway of the Inland Em
pire. If there is a whole-souled people
it is to be found right there where their
homes overlook the laughing waters of
the niightv Columbia. The Dalles is a
great distributing center ; the shipment
of wool, grain and stock from there is
enormous: in fruits and flowers tne
country contiguous cannot be surpassed,
and some day when the obstructions in
the great river have been overcome, The
Dalles will be the Spokane of Oregon
The editors could not have selected a
better place of meeting, and if each one
who was in attendance does his duty
with the pen, the queen city of Eastern
Oregon will shine out in its true color.
A press of business kept this scribe from
attending.
Canyon City News. Lastweek when
dispatched a communication to the
News from McEwan I had in mind a
pleasant vacation, and up to the present
moment the most extravagant anticipa
tion in the recreation line has been
realized. I traveled from McEwan to
Baker city on the Sumpter Valley Bail
way, the guest of Mr. West the superin
tendent. By the way, that little rail
road beats a buckboard line, and the
people of Grant county should give the
company every encouragement in their
power to build the road into our beloved
county. Tommy McEwan would gladly
surrender his excellent stage line and
give right of way to the little iron horse,
who gets there sometime, always. If he
is small (I mean the iron horse) he has
a whistle equal to a U. S.J man of war
and snorts as loud as any Union Pacific
90-ton locomotive. Mr. West is anxious
to lay before the stockholders of his
company a proposition to build the line j
further into the interior, and will do
this if the people show a disposition to
encourage it. The Dalles people gave
the editors an opportunity to inspect the
government improvements at the Cas
cade locks, and a couple of cars were
furnished us by the Union Pacific paid
for by The Dalles people, while the Beg-
ulator was free, in which the editors,
their wives, sisters and lady friends rode
to the falls of Celilo, to obtain a view of
the extensive salmon canning establish
ment owned and operated by Mr. I. H,
Taffe. The brother does not give away
much taffy. However, the picnic was a
pleasant one, and upon departing we
carried away many pleasant recollec
tions, and left behind us footprints in
the sands of Celilo. Col. Sinnott, whom
all pioneers know, was there, and told
more grandly incomprehensible reminis
cences than would fill Bancroft's com
plete works.

Resorting- to Business Injury In Indiana
for Veins; American Tin.
Columbus, Ind., Oct. 20. Last week
one day the Republican of ' this city,
published the statement of Brooks
Bros. Fourth street tinners, to the effect
tnat tney are using American tin plate
iu me manuiacture oi cans lor tne uoi
umbus market, and that they find it en
tirely satisfactory in quality, and that
it is as cheap as the imported article.
Brooks Bros, did not make this state
ment with the intention of using it in a
political way; they merely stated these
facta about American tin; and their
word as business men is unaoestion-
able. It ia a fact, also, that tin cans
such as Brooks Bros, make, of this
American tin, are sold in the Columbus
market cheaper this vear than last.
The tariff, therefore, is not a tax on the
consumer of tin cans. These are facts
which deeply roile the democracy, since
they overturn, upon local and home
evidence, the democratic declaration
that tin plate is not and can
not be made profitably in Amer
ica, and that by reason of the Mc
Kinley law the consumer pays more for
bis tinware now than before the nassaze
of that law. And so deeply pained are
the democrats by the success of the tin
industry, and so fearful are they that
their tin plate stories will be robbed of
their intended effect, that they cannot
bear to have the facts made public. It
rouses their fear and their ire, and they
stick at nothing, no matter how dishon-
ceeded according to programme, but it
is said that for once yesterday, the no- orable, to bolster up their failing cause,

in command, and that a military parade
through the streets would be prepared,
if possible. But the prospect is about
as dismal as the streets. Milwaukee's

from Milwaukee to Chicago.
Members of the cabinet, justices of
the supreme court, and members of the
party colleagues, tackled Brooks Bros.,
informing them that they would find it
against their interest to furnish such
facts for publication, and intimating
that they would be extremely likely to

Thousands of skilled workmen in almost
all trades are now idle through no fault

it by the sudden discharge of great
bodies of men. Working forces have
been cut down gradually, and the pro
cess is still going on. The docks are
half deserted. The labor bureau of the
board of trade makes gloomy reports of
the situation. The army of unemployed

Austria and Russia Combat.
Vienna, Oct. 18. An encounter is re
ported between Austria and Russian
troops on - the Galician frontier. The
Austrian sentinels near Belzac refused
to admit some Bussian Polish emi
grants into Austrian territory on the
ground that the passports exhibited
were defective. The Cossack guards on
the Bussian side of the boundary, anx
ious to get rid of the emigrants, protest
ed against the action of the Austrians.
A shot was fired, which killed an Aus
trian. Shots and bayonet thrusts were
then freely exchanged. The Bussians at
length fled. ,

A Tribute to Age.
Astoria Examiner. These beautiful
autumn days, with all the ripened full
ness of the summer lingering in their
sunny hours, their soft breezes and their
cloudless skies, ought to teach all
humanity 'who are struggling so hard
against the autumn of their own lives,
that the graceful acceptance of the fact
that summer is over adds a beauty all
its own that the less ripened charms of
the spring of childhood and the summer
of early womanhood could never ap
proach. One can grow old so gracefully

beauty than the undeveloped bud, but

Afraid for Us or of Us
Somehow "it almost always occurs'
that somebody in Portland becomes so
licitous for the welfare of the Inland
Empire. Brother Williamson, of the
Portland Bural Northwest, is now on
the anxious seat. He recently visited
the farmers' institute at Milton, which
gave him an opportunity "to see some
thing of a part of the state which he
had not previously visited. As the trip
was made in the night both ways, little
was seen of the country west of Pendle
ton, and in fact there is very little land
of an agricultural character to be seen
from the car windows west of that place,
even with the aid of daylight." But be
fore he returned to Portland he saw
enough to cause a dreaded apprehension
in his mind that we have a country
here likely to be overrun by combined
harvesters and threshers, the inevitable
result of which will be to root out Btnall
tarms. ihe prospect is far from your
picture of it, Bro. Williamson, and you
ought to know that in this country
farming is not confined to - any one
thing. The Inland Empire furnishes
your beef, mutton, pork, veal, salmon
trout, venison, bear, grouse, fruits of
every kind, melons of every kind, grains
of every kind, your carriage teams, sin
gle roadsters, draft horses, mules, work
oxen, etc., etc., ad libitum ; fur; fin and
feather all abound in any style or shape,
according to order, at lowest spot cash
prices. But because this portion of the
Inland Empire has doubled up on
wool annualy, from 750,000 lbs in 1889,
to 6,000,000 lbs even, in 1892; and has
y.OUU.UUU lbs more wheat to tend away
this season than we shipped in all of
1890-91 ; don't think we forget to diver
sify our time and talent for an open
river, as well as our farming ; for all
there is in it. The Inland Empire is
all right now. and in the hence to
