NAKROWESOPE OF THE SAN JUAN
She gets Into the Breakers In a Clear
day In the Bay of San Louis.
Minor Topic.
Washington-, Nov. 8. A New York
dispatch says the treasury department's
construction of the president's procla
mation of September 1st, which quaran
tines all ships with immigrants in the
cabin or steerage for twenty days, caused
the detention of the Hamburg-American
steamship Suevia, and the Hill line
steamship Richmond Hill in the bay all
day yesterdav. The Suevia has 248
cabin passengers, among them eighty
nine citizens and 159 aliens. The steam
ship arrived in quarantine Saturday
night. The quarantine officials fumi
gated her, and allowed her to proceed to
her dock. She was intercepted by the
cutter Washington, and ordered to re
main in the bay until orders were re
ceived from Washington permitting her
to go .up. The Kichmond Hill, from
London, was also passed by the quaran
tine officials. She is also anchored near
Bedloe's island. She has sixty-nine
cabin passengers and six steerage pas
sengers. Sixty of her cabin passengers
are aliens. As the treasury department
was closed yesterday, agents of the
steamships could not get an order re
leasing them and they remained at an- I
chorall night. As they have clean bills
of health, they will doubtless be allowed
to land by the federal authorities some
time today. Eight Hner3 today have
about 1,000 steerage and GOO cabin pas
sengers. In a Close Place.
San Francisco, Nov. 8. A San Diego
dispatch announces the arrival there
yesterday of the Pacific Mail steamer
San Juan, from this port, which narrow
ly escaped being wrecked near Port Har
fort,. where she ran into the breakers in
San Luis bay. The steamer struck on
her starboard bow, sheered off, and went
ahead on the beach. There was a heavy
swell running, and she careened heavily
to seaward, the sea smashing in all the
windows on the lower deck, and flooding
the cabin. After two hours, thnmping
and straining the anchor was got off a
aterii and the windlass brought into re
quisition, and she was backed off ap
parently no worse for her hard usage.
The weather was clear enough at the
time to see objects half a mile ahead.
A Touch Family.
Meridian, Miss., Nov. 7. James Tol
bert, father of the Tolbert boys, who
have long been a terror and disgrace to
this section, was last night taken from
the guards near Fort Stephens and
lynched by a mob. Charlie Tolbert the
eldest son, is in custody and may escape
mob violence. Tom Tolbert and his
youngest brother, Walter escaped after
shooting Tom Cole and are at large,
though armed posses with bloodhounds
are scouring the swamps, and their cap
ture is only a question of time.
Lost His Dos.
Seattle Times. A Seattle man who
had tried in vain to catch fish with a
hook, concluded to try dynamite, and
his dog, a retriever, was with him. Ar
riving at the spot he ignited the fuse and
cast the bomb to the fishes. The dog
instantly sprang into the water, seized
the bomb and started for shore to place
it at his master's feet. Then began a
race that beggars description the mas
ter endeavoring to get away from the
dog and the dog equally determined to
lay the trophy at his master's feet. The
race terminated when the bomb ex
ploded and blew the dog into kingdom
come.
Largest Dog In the World.
Boston, Nov. 7. Lord Melrose, the
largest St. Bernard dog in the world,
died yesterday at Melrose, Mass. He
was si red by Ben Lomond of Recluse,
and had won the first prize at many
bench shows. He was 35 inches high,
and weighed 210 pounds.
A Siioyt Storm Raging.
St. Paul, Nov. 7. Snow with blizzard
propensities is falling here today. The
fall is comparatively light here, but in
the state it has already fallen to the
depth of six inches. A hard storm is
raging in North Dakota. Much loss of
stock is feared.
Texas Cyclone.
Galveston, Nov. 7. A cyclone, 100
yards wide and a mile long, swept over
Islana, seven miles from here, yesterday,
leveling everything before it. A number
of houses were demolished. One man
was killed, and 18 injured. : . "

New York, Nov. 8. The announce
ment was officially made in Washington
yesterday that six of the new war vessels
now nearing completion will be placed
in commission during December, Janu
ary and iebuary. According tp this
statement the vessel building at Eliza
beth, N. J., will be commissioned De

Important Relics In Dispute.
CnicAGO, Nov. S. A Pittsburg dis
patch says that Fred and T. P. Mollin
ger, neirs and nephews of the' 'late
Father Mollinger, say they are going to
sell the relics owned by their uncle.
This has stirred up the members of the
church of the Holy Name, at which the
dead priest performed so many of his
remarkable cures. "The members say
the relics are the property of the church,
and that in the event of the heirs at
tempting to sell or remove them the
matter will be taken into court. The
heirs are equally positive that they be
long to the estate. They are now in
Chicago, but will return to Pittsburg
weanesuav, wnen tne matter will likely
De referred to the church.
t Too Valuable For a Race Track.
New Yohk, Nov. 7. In all probability
Jerome Park, for a generation iar famed
as one of the great racing tracks of the
state, will soon cease to exist as a dis
tinct tract of land, and will be broken
up into building sites. A syndicate of
wealthy men has secured an option on
the land at the price of $600,000, and an
nounces its intention of taking the title
to tne property.
Reported to be Intane.
New York, Nov. 7. Rev. T. DeWitt
Talmage was mysteriously absent from
his Brooklvn pulpit yesterday. It is
rumored that bis wife became insane in
New Haven yesterday. They were there,
and a late telegram said they had re
turned to New York, but a call at the
house this morning elicited the informa
tion from the housekeeper that they did
not return, and she did not know where
they were. They went away Thursday.
The Chicago Anarchists.
Chicago, Nov. 7. The chief of police
has documents which seem to show that
the anarchists in Chicago are not dead.
It gives notice of a memorial meeting on
November 11th, the anniversary of the
execution of the Haymarket anarchists.
Though carefully worded it is inflam
matory throughout, and advocates
boom-throwing and a dagger for the
"Modern C.-vear," supposed to be Chief
of Police McClaughrey.
ISig Oil Well Struck.
Portland, Ind. , Nov. 7. The greatest
excitement that has ever been known iu
the Indiana oil field exists here. A well
near Camden on the Grissell farm was
torpedoed, and a solid stream of oil shot
in the air 100 feet above the derrick.
The well is flowing 2,000 barrels a -day.
It belongs to Gibson & Giles, of Pitts
burg. Oilmen from all over the country
are flocking to see the big strike.
Lack of Precaution.
Review. It is stated that many old
orchards in the Willamete valley have
become so infested with pests of various
kinds that they will have to be destroyed.
This is the fault of the owners, who
neglected to take any precautions what
ever against the myriads of pests.
Heir to a Fortune.
Pittsburg, Nov. 7. Information has
just reached here from California that
Barney Dunning, an inmate of the city
poor farm here for 22 years, has fallen
heir to. an estate valued at $300,000.
The fortune was bequeathed Dunning by
his brother William, who went to Cali
fornia in 1849, accumulated large wealth
and recently died.
Elections in Italy.
Rome, Nov. 7. Returns of yesterday's
elections for members of the chamber of
deputies show 184 government support
ers and 71 members of the opposition
were elected. Re-ballots will be neces
sary in 17 districts, in which the govern
ment candidates stand the best chance
of being elected.
AUSTRALIAN BOWER BIRDS.
Feathered Songsters With a High Ap
preciation of the Beautiful.
The most remarkable instance of
aestheticism among birds is that ex
hibited by the Australian bower birds,
which, according to Chamber's Journal,
build long galleries in which to play,
adorning them with shells, feathers,
leaves, bones or any colored or glittering
object which comes in their way! Capt.
Stokes describes one of these bower
birds as taking a shell alternately from
each side of the bower and carrying it
through in its beak. Dumholtz des
cribes several of these playhouses of the
bower birds. He says they, are always
to be found "in small brushwood, never
in the open field; and in their immediate
vicinity the bird collects a mass of differ
ent kinds of objects, especially snail
shells, which are laid in two heaps, one
at each entrance the ono being always
much larger than the other. There are
frequentlv hundreds of shells, about 300
in one heap and thirty in the other.
There is usually a handful of green ber
ries partly inside the bower."
In his interesting book, Among Can
nibals, Lumholtz describes a playground
of what would appear to be a different
species of that bird, showing even a
greater iesthetic taste. He says: On
the top of the mountain I heard in the
dense scrubs the loud and unceasing
voice of a bird. I carefully approached
it, sat on the ground and shot it. It was
one of the bower birds, with a gray and
very modest plumage and of the size of
a thrush. As I picked up the bird my
attention was drawn to a fresh covering
of green leaves on the black soil. This
was the bird's place of amusement
which beneath the dense scrubs formed
a square about a yard each way, the
ground having been cleared of leaves and
rubbish. On this neatly cleared spot
the bird had laid large, fresh leaves, one
by the side of the other, witb considera
ble regularity, and close by he sat sing
ing, apparently extremely happy over
his work. As soon as the leaves decay
they are replaced by new ones. On. this
excursion I saw three such places of
amusement all near each other, and all.
had fresh leaves from the same kind of
trees, while a large heap of dry, withered
leaves was lying close by. It seems
that the bird scrapes away the mold
every time it changes the leaves, so as
to have a dark background, against
which the green leaves make a better
appearance. (Jan anyone doubt that
this bird has the sense of beauty?
Political Confusion.
The Examiner says George Noland has
returned to Astoria, having cancelled all
his appointments on account of the dis
ruption in the democratic ranks.'
Speaking about fusion 'with the Peo
ple's party Judge Bellinger, one of the
leading democrats of Portland, said : "It
will wreck the democratic party in Ore
gon.''
Mrs. Lease can neither be sold nor
leased to the democratic party. The
perfume of those southern eggs still
clings to her nostrils. She utterly repu
diates the fusion, says the Oregonian,
and is opposed to anything the 'object of
which is to elect Cleveland, whose por
trait she sees in every egg she was as
sailed with.
The split of the democratic party in
Oregon on the subject of fusion is not
yet healed, and the different tenor of the
letters received by the electors and the
state committee indicates that it extends
all over the state. The Examiner says :
There is not much conscientious com
fort in spouting democracy from princi
ple, and then confessing yourself an ass
to please Hill, Harritv and Cleveland.
Col. Boneman of Jackson county, in a
letter to Boss Murphy at Portland says :
Please let me know at once if it is the
wish of the democratic national and state
coitiuiittee to have the electors with
drawn, as we have several rallies in the
neighborhood before election, two in
which I am billed to address the voters.
Yours democratically for the furtherance
of the wishes of President Cleveland's
committee."
Chairman Danielson, of the Peoples
party Ex. Com., is sorely puzzled. Un
der date of the 2d he addressed a letter
to Max Muller, clerk of Jackson county,
in which he says: "If you will look at
the law closely you will see our electors
must be placed as People's electors, each
and every one in a group to themselves.
Of course, you have been instructed by
proper state officer, but it is well enough
for us to look into the matter. Is it not
a fact that the nomination must be made
30 days before election day? I think
this thing is rotten in the extreme."
In striking contrast to the incertitude
that marks every move of the demo
cratic managers is the systematic way
in which every detail of the republican
campaign is conducted. To carry the
state for Harrison is the single purpose
of the directors of the republican can
vass, and no individual ambition or en
tangling alliance interferes with it. If
acrimony exists in the organization it is
discreetly kept out of sight of the pub
lic, and cannot be utilized to the party's
disadvantage. But such a harmonious
surface could never be presented where
an undercurrent of discord exists.

agree that the day is perfect and a large
vote will be cast. The big storm that was
yesterday reported sweeping down in the
form of a blizzard from the northwest
waa today chasing up the St. Lawrence
valley and out into the Atlantic ocean
Aew York state, however, was cloudy,
with no prospects of , clearing, - and
threatening in some parts slight snow
after last night's rain. New England
reported some rain, but nothing serious.
lhe southeast Atlantic states sent word
of occasional showers, but with these
exceptions the almost unvarying report
elsewhere was generally fair, particular
ly in thewest. Michigan telegrams said
It was snowinz. but not mnoh. nd
southeasfTTexas wires it was raining a
little. The northwest is still somewhat
Arctic. Moorhead, Minn., had this
cheerful intelligence: "Ten below, but
generally warmer." Every advices from
all over the country are to the effect a
very heavy vote is being polled. Indi
cations are that, although the canvass
has been phenomenally quiet, interest
in the result is none the less earnest.
Cleveland Casts His Vote.
New York, Nov. 8. Ex-President
Cleveland left his house and walked to
the polling place at 878 Sixth avenue.
There were 25 men in line ahead of the
ex-president. They recognized him,
raised tbeia huts and bowed. When
Cleveland stepped up to the poll clerk
and gave his name, he received a bunch
of ballots marked No. 187, and went in
to the fifth box to fix his ticket. It took
him just six minutes to prepare his
tickets. They were in proper order and
as soon as deposited iu . the respective
boxes the ex-president went home. Gov
ernor Flower after devoting six minutes
in a polling booth came ou t and handed a
ballot to the inspector, but ,it was im
properly folded and he was obliged to
do the work over again, occupying eight
minutes.
General Stevenson at Home.
Bloomington, Nov. 8. General Stev
enson, candidate for the vice-presidency
on the democratic ticket, is taking
matters quietly at his home, surrounded
by members of his family. He cast his
vote early. A number of confidential
friends, advisers of Stevenson, called
this morning. He will receive election
returns by means of messengers and
telephone. He refused the offer of a
8pecial"wire tendered him by the West
ern Union Telegraph company.

o'clock this morning, and at once pro
ceeded to the polls in the first district
of Harrison, where he voted. This
evening he will receive returns at his
residence at Ophir farm.
The Victory Conceded.
Chicago, Nov. 9. Confusion runs
supreme through the tangled mass of
dispatches received, but enough is
known to grant the fullest and most
complete victory to the democracy by
the aid of the third party.
THE PRINEVILLE ROAD.
What the Kid of the News has to Say
Upon the Subject.
Referring to the proposed Dalles
Southern Railway the Prineville News
says : "That railroad we have talked so
much about of late may be called a wind
scheme and be attributed to the kid
editor ; but at the same time the fact
remains that it is the one thing neces
sary to the prosperity of Prineville and
surrounding country. On second
thought we believe we are mistaken.
We are inclined to believe that the en
terprise to secure it is lacking. Parties
with whom we have conversed concern
ing the little town of Heppner, in Mor
row county, concede that it is a town of
undoubted prosperity and that the
branch railroad with a terminus there
has been a potent factor in the creation
of that prosperity is proven by the fact
that some of these men have recently
driven beef to Heppner from their Crook
county herds for shipment to the sound
and eastern markets.
"How can a town help its prosperity
when it becomes the magnet of business
so far away that should be provided for
at home. Yet we have seen that same
town when it was no bigger than Prine
ville is today, and indeed not so much,
for Jn its environs then there was not
the apparent resource that is visible
here today. A range of mountains in
tervening between Morrow and Grant
counties, drove many thousand dollars
down the John Day river to The Dalles,,
and such trade as did cross the mount-1
ain went on te Arlington. These same
mountains sealed the tunnels of many a
mine of ore and turned away the herds
of beef and mutton because Heppner in
its isolation offered . no inducement for
them to come. A great deal of rustling
and the expenditure of quite a laVge
sum of money has changed all these con
ditions. A savimr of 100 miles on a
round trip to the railroad, together with
improvement of the mountain wagon
road, has opened the way for all the
vast country that has trade enough to
build up one town and cripple another
by its fluctuation, and Heppner is today
a fair, but incomplete exposition of what
Prineville -could be if the same enter
prise be brought to bear upon its des
tiny. The doubtful on this subject have
the same evidence to convince them as
the monument to our first president
convinces that America had a Wash
ington." THE NEW ARMY BLOUSE.
Description of The Regulation Garment
For Ordinary Wear.
The new blouse for officers of the army
for marches, fatigue duty and ordinary
wear consists of a sack coat of dark blue
cloth or serge, single-brensted, standing

ending with crow's feet top and bottom.
A RUDE AWAKENING.
What The Sudden Changes In America
Ytsterday Really Means.
The Oregonian. The country has de
creed a change of fiscal and industrial
policy in the most prosperous time it
has ever known. This is largely the re
sult of the immense foreign vote in the
great cities. Chicago carries Illinois for
Cleveland as the city of New Yqrk car
ries New York state for him. The labor
vote, largely foreign, ignorant of the ex
tent of its prosperity, has been mislead
by demagogues, and has revolted against
the best conditions it has ever known.
Its mistake will soon be seen when the
prosperity on which labor has thriven
as never before receives the inevitable
shock through legislation based on the
platform on which Cleveland is elected.
The populist craze, based on the same
errors that have moved the labor vote,
has contributed not a little to this re
sult. A majority of the voters have for
a time put experience aside, rejected the
policy under which employment was
abundant and wages better than ever
before in our history, and have decided,
though without knowing it, to put their
labor on an equality with that of the
cheap-labor countries of the Old World.
There will be a rude awakening.
We shall now have a free-trade policy.
We ought to have it. The country has .
voted for it, and the present generation
should learn from experience what it
means.. Naturally and inevitably there
will be a timidity in making investments,
particularly in industrial enterprises.
Labor generally will find the demand for
it checked, since new establishments
will not be founded or old ones enlarged
under existing uncertainties.
. The election of Cleveland will ulti
mately carry with it a democratic ma
jority both in the senate and the house,
and there will be no obstacle to legisla
tion on the basis of the democratic plat
form. It will be more than one year till
tbe new policy can be formulated into
law and set in operation ; nevertheless
it is sure that the result of the election
of today will be the beginning of a
period of industrial stagnation.
An industrial stagnation resulting
from the timidity of capital and uncer
tainty of business, and that the conse
quences will recoil with terrible force,
upon the labor classes, through whose -votes
chiefly the result has been brought -about.
They who know these things .
have but to wait patiently for results to
come about which they so plainly foresee. '
