New Yokk, Nov. 14. When the doors
of Madison Square Garden open this
evening, the scene within will be one of
extraordinary interest. It is the open
ing night of the eighth annual exhibi
tion of the National Horse Show Asso
ciation, and every class is practically
full, the entries including the finest an
iraals ever seen at an exhibition of this
kind :'n America.
The amount to be distributed in prizes
this year is over $.'55,000, which is more
than has ever before been offered by any
horse show in the world. Last year the
prizes aggregated $20,000.
Among the thoroughbreds entered are
Saxony by Saxon; imported Lunar
Eclipse; imported Dandie Dinmont, by
Silvio ; Mikado and others. In the list
of Arabs there is Leopard, formerly the
property of Gen. Grant, and Accionista,
owned by Mr. Baldwin, of San Francisco.
Twenty roadsters, about a dozen of
which will try for road rig prizes will
be very interesting, as there is always a
good deal of emulation on the part of ex
hibitors to see who can get np the most
taking rigs.
The association has heretofore had
trouble in obtaining a good filling for the
heavy-draught stallion classes. This
year the Uanacuana nave interested
themselves in the matter, and have
made extensive consignments. Robert
Davies, of Toronto, and the Graham
brothers, lay themselves out trying to
beat each other.
The hackneys will be judged by pace,
action, -tone, manners and temper, which
are good qualities to have. The hunters
and jumpers alwavs afford a great deal
of amusement for spectators. They will
have nlentv nf onnnrtnnitv to eniov
L j rt j .
themselves this year, as every crack
hunter in the country has been entered
Among the owners represented is no less
a person than Mr. Hugh J . Grant, mayor
of this big city, who has of late developed
an extraordinary interest in horseflesh.
It is predicte'd of Mr. Grant that before
long he will not need to have been mayor
f New York in order to be great, as he
will become famous for his horeiness.
Mr. Grant has entered a handsome gray
gelding named Oxford, which is said to
be willing to take high fences. If the
mayor himself elects to ride him a good
deal of interest will be added to the
show.
Beside the horses there is a fine array
of new and curious turnouts, which will
prove that the brain of the man who
architects fashionable vehicles mu9t be
very uuitve,
The Vote of 1 1! alio.
A Boise city dispatch says returns, so
far as reported show the following
results :
Governor McConnell, rep., 6,572:
Burke, dem., 5,413; Crook pop., 3,889.
Congressman Sweet, rep., 6,515; True,
dem., 4065; Gunn, pop., 3,272. Supreme
Judge Sullivan, rep., 6,805; Ensign,
dem., 5867. Secretary of state Curtis,
rep., 6,196; Wickersham, dem., 5,604.
Treasurer Hill, rep., 6,387; Began,
dem., 5,526. The other state officers run
about the same. The Weaver fusion
electors have about 2,000 majority.
Innovation in England.
t A Loudon dispatch says the adoption
of the man's saddle by a number of
ladies who have devoted themselves to
the Somerset hunts is a prominent topic
in society. It is startling to see these
ladies attired in divided skirts, blouses
and manish hats, formost in the hunt
astride their horses. . Some of them ap
pear in long riding coats, boots and
breeches. The most generally accepted
form of the riding habit, however, is
divided skirts. The style meets with
approving comment.
Kestrict Immigration.
Press-Times. Restriction of immigra
tion is a subject which is in the popular
mind almost to the exclusion of more
immediately urgent political policies,
though there is none more important to
the people. After , election it will be
come immediately "the leading issue.
Fortunately .restriction of immigration
at present is non political ; for the rea
son that both: parties feel' that' a long
step must betaken in that direction.

Opinions of the 1'resH.
In order that The Dalles people may
become somewhat acquainted with Miss
Rosa Stannus before tomorrow night,
we take pleasure in presenting the lol
lowing few of many opinions expressed
bv the editorial fraternity elsewhere:
A wonderful elocutionist. St. Paul
Press.
A voice ot marvelous power for a
woman. Los Angeles Times.
In Irish dialect she stands alone, nn
approached by any woman on or off the
stage. Chicago limes.
The impersonations of Miss Stannus
cover a wide field, all of which were ren
dered with pronounced ability .-Chicago
journal.
She deserves the fame she is setting.
Such a voice as she has is given to but
one in a thousand. St. Louis Republic.
Without any seeming effort on her
part she held her audience spell-bound
for hours. Her impersonations, whether
ot tne low comedy order or niznly tragic.
were artistic and well sustained. Omaha
Bee.
Whether the mood required, be droll
as in Hoolihan, or one of deep emotion
as Marguerite, she holds her hearers
spell-bound. This with her clear ring
ing voice and remarkable histrionic
ability, makes her an artiste of great
power. Dally Astorian, Astoria.
As Cleopatra Miss ' Stannus wore a
superb gown of Egyptian fashion. Its
gracefuffolds cling fetchingly about her
perfect figure, while the brilliant jewels
and oriental turban form a delightful
setting for her queenly head and beauti
ful face. Walla Walla Statesman.
An Educational Qualification.
Oregonian. In the recent scramble to
secure votes for the opposing candidates,
there was nothing more disgraceful, out
side of the slums of New York and Chi
cago, where ignorance was worked up to
its full limit, than the leading feature of
the territorial campaign in Oklahoma,
where a strong fight was made by all
parties to secure the Indian vote. The
Indians who recently became citizens
are chiefly of the Arapahoe and Chey
enne tribes, and number about 800
voters. Of this number not more than
twenty-five can read and write. The
head of the republican ticket was em
bellished by a full-size picture of an In
dian, while the democratic ticket was
adorned simply by the head of a brave.
After great effort the former captured a
majority of the Arapahoes, and the lat
ter a majority of the Cheyennes. While
the red-skin vote may not be a more
pernicious element in our politics than
many others that are recognized as legal
and necessary, the struggle to secure it,
together with the dense ignorance of the
new voters, suggests, with startling dis
tinctness, the advisability, that will one
day become a necessity, of establishing
an educational qualification for voters by
constitutional amendment.
The Great Lockout.
Loxdox, Nov. 14. The second week
of the great cotton lockout opens with
increased prospects of the trouble being
long continued. There are 6,000,000
spindles working full time, 750,000,000
on half time and 12,600,000 stopped.
The Masters' Federation has asked the
owners of the spindles working full time
to begin to shorten time Thursday. All
have assented except masters at Bolton,
who spin Egyptian cotton mostly. They
plead their hands are full of orders and
their mills must work full time to meet
them. -' '

Special to The Chronicle.
St. Louis, Nov. 15. When the
Knights of Labor convene in annual
session to-day, they will begin .perhaps
the most eventful gathering since the
inauguration of the order. The general
assembly will this year at least have the
satisfaction of listening to a report which
shows a decided increase in membership,
and as this has not been the case since
the Richmond convention, the fact be
comes one of decided interest. At the
present meeting the most important
topic of discussion will be that relating
to politics. Efforts will be made to se
cure radical changes in the present laws
governing the organization. The most
forceful blow of which will be aimed at
the cardinal principle contained in the
preamble "No one shall, however, be
compelled to vote with the majority."
It is not intended to coerce the working
man to vote for a particular nominee,
but to use moral persuasion in the in
terest of the candidates who are friendly
to organized labor. Ultimately it is
hoped to place on a firm footing a labor
political party that will have no relation
to either of the old parties. It is to be
essentially a workingman's party, whose
course shall be dictated bv the masses
and not by political wirepullers or labor
leader dictation.
There is talk too of the retirement of
Grand Master Powderly, who alter ten
terms of service, would gladly retire if the
assembly could unite on his successor.
He himself is said to look favorably on
A. W. Wight, editor of the Journal of
United Labor. John W. Hays, secretary-treasurer,
will be re-elected to suc
ceed himself. The order of the K. of L.
was started in Philadelphia in December
1869, but not until 1878 was a national
constitution adopted. At the first meet
ing in Scranton Uriah S. Stephens was
elected grand master. In 1879 the con
vention was held in St. Louis ; and here
t was that Grand Master Powderly was
first chosen as the leader of the move
ment. From 188 5 to 1887 the order grew
to a membership of almost a million
and then began a rapid decline, finally
having less than two hundred thousand
members on its books. Last year at
Denver, political action was endorsed,
and the union of the interests of the
Knights with those of the people's party
tended to increase the membership.
Cblcaffe Morse Market.
Chicago, Nov. 15. J. S. Cooper, com
mission salesman of horses, Union Stock
Yards, Chicago says : The market has
shown a Blight change for the better
within a few days both in demand and
price and it would be very reasonable to
predict an immediate improvement fol
lowing the close of the electoral contest
Business will once more assume its nat
ural aspect, and orders which for some
weeks have been withheld, will now
come through the regular channel. The
lumbering interest will, as usual at this
season, come to the front, and as they
have been sparing buyers of late there
should be quite a demand for heavy log
gers. Good blocks generally will also be
in demand. The sales of range horses
have been small and prices very low. It
is too late to handle these except at sac
rifice prices, averaging $15 a head for
smooth 900 lbs.
Troubled With. Ants.
A Springfield, 111., dispatch says that
Prof. Martin, of the state entomological
bureau, has just finished an investiga
tion of the basement of the statehouse
and finds that the rooms are so infested
with white ants that the immense store
of official state records are in danger of
being lost. The secretary of state, after
receiving a report from Professor Forbes,
state entomologist, will refer the 'matter
to the general assembly.
A Forecast of Winter.
The Klickitat hills, and some of our
own Wasco county hills in sight from The
Dalles ; yesterday morning looked white
in their new robes of Winter, suggesting
the coming. When the Prineville stage
came in last night, and reported four in
ches on DesChutes hill, the words of the
poet came to the front :
The snow and sleet and fog may. come,
And all the world grow dreary ; I
Upon the glass rain-fingers drum
And men outside be weary ;
But once inside a well -warmed room,'
i eet braced anon a radiator, -
What need one care for outer gloom
Why should one be a winter hater T
Conditions Will Change.
. Discussing the cattle market, the Live
Stock Journal says the long continued
depression in the cattle business has
played havoc with many people and es
pecially with cattle companies, but the
belief is now verv general among men
who have watched the current of events,
that a turn is about to come in the long
down hill road. Whether this will prove
true or not remains, of course, with the
future to demonstrate. It is true, how
ever, that there is no lane so long but it
has a turn, and the' tide on the seashore
never runs so far out that it fails to re
turn. As the tide on its return flows as
high on the banks as before the ebb, so
there will be a return to prosperity in
the cattle rising business, and prices
will be as high as before the great de
pression. How soon this reiurn will set in is, of
course, a matter of speculation, but the
signs point to 1893 as the year of jubilee.
There are two leading causes or reasons
for this belief. First, the long continued
depression in beef values has turned the
farmers of the old west from beef pro
duction to other pursuits to a large ex
tent, and production is not keeping pace
with the increase of population. The
second factor is the large falling off in
production of range beef from the gulf to
the northern range limit. . These two
factors are sufficient to bring about a
decided reaction so soon as they are
clearly understood in the market cen
ters, and it is believed that another year
will demonstrate the true situation.
Then be of good cheer and hold on
faithfully to your cattle possessions.
liake Oven l'arty.
Antelope Herald. One of . the most
enjoyable balls ever held in southern
Wasco county was given lost Tuesday
night at Bake Oven, under the auspices
of Newt Burgess. A fine new 24x40 ft.
hall has been built at that place for
dancing and other purposes, and it is
one of the best dance halls in this coun
try. About forty numbers were sold,
the majority of lxys and girls hailing
from Antelope. Music was furnished by
. M. Shutt, 1st violin, K. N. Staeher,
2d violin and Ed Smith, who manipu
lated the organ. The mazy dance was
participated in with the greatest inter
est until about 12 o'clock, when the
guests were all invited to Burgess'
hotel, where they Sat down to one of the
best and most tempting suppers mortal
man was ever permitting to slap his llpp
over. The good things were prepared
by Mrs. Burgess and others, and we veil-1
ture to say a more delicious repast was
never gotten up in this country. After
supper the dance was resumed with re
newed vigor until about four o'clock in
the morning, when the dancers dis
banded, all being satisfied that it was
the most enjoyable ball given in this
country for a long time.
Klickitat Beef Cattle.
Pacific Farmer. Some idea of the
money which is to be made from cattle
can be gathered from the price at which
they are being sold in the markets of
Portland and .surrounding cities. 'Mr.
Harmon, our old friend from Klickitat
county, brought a couple of carloads of
fine steers down to Portland for sale this
week. They were sold for $2.40 per
hundred. A thousand ponnd steer would
thus bring $24, and the average west
ern steer must be 2-year past to weigh
that amount. From that $24 must be
reduced the cost of transportation, and
the profit which Mr. Harmon makes
for his time and trouble, leaving a bal
ance to the raiser so small that he is
doing well if he gets enough to pay for
the feed consumed, to say nothing of
interest on the money invested in the
animal and land upon which the animal
was raised. From this it will be seen
that there is but one way under the
present state of affairs for farmers to do,
if they expect to make anything out of
stock raising for beef they must raise
better stock. They must discard their
scrubs as rapidly as possible; sell them
while calves, before they eat their beads
off; and only keep the largest for breed
ing or making into beef.
The Lumber Combine.
The combinations of the saw mills
of the Pacific northwest, to be known as
the Pine manufacturers' association, has
been completed. Of tbe mills admitted
into the combine, twelve were formerly
members of the Pacific pine . lumber
company, and these are allowed a cut
of 431,000,000 feet, while the remaining
seventeen will be allowed to cut but
279,000,000 feet annually. The mem
bership, as at present given out, will
include thirty of the principal mills of
the coast. The price of rough lumber
shall be $10 and of dressed lumber $16.-
50, f. o. b., at point of shipment. Each
mill to make its own sale and handle its
own cut. Any mill exceeding the cut
allotted to it will pay the association
for each thousand of rough lumber $1,
and for dressed $2, and for lath 50 cents.
Each mill must turn into main office
difference between cost and selling price.
Locomotive Explosion.
Reading, Pa., Nov. 15. An engine
drawing a light train on the Philadel
phia and Reading blew up near Schuylkill
Haven yesterday morning, killing five
men, tearing up tracks, dismantling the
locomotive, hurling machinery several
squares,-' and scattering destruction all
around.' The explosion came without
any warning whatever.

LOCOMOTIVE 81 DDEX EXPLOSION'
Second Week of the English Cotton
Spinners' Strike Millions of
flpindlera Are Idle.
On her last voyage to the Orient the
steainer City of Peking, which arrived
in San Francisco yesterday, was in the
typhoon that wrecked the British
steamer Bokhara. The Peking rode out
the gale, but that she did not meet with
disaster was principally due to the ex
cellent seamanehip and good judgment
of her commander, Capt. Robt. R.
Searle. "We were in company- with
the Bokhara," said one of the officers of
the Peking, "on the day she was lost.
At 1 o'clock on that fatal afternoon
Capt. Searle ordered the Peking hove to
and everything .made taut above and
below decks. The Bokhara kept right
on, leaving us behind, but reports show
that she also hove to an hour later.
Had her captain taken the same precau
tion as ours, his vessel would not have
been driven ashore and wrecked with
fearful loss of life. The Peking rode out
the storm beautifully, the immense seas
only occasionally reaching her deck.
One of the Empresses of the Canadian
Pacific line was in sight during the
typhoon. She also was hove to, but the
waves washed her decks fore and aft.
There was no rain, but the typhoon
blew with terrific force. The storm
lasted for two days, and during all that
time Capt. Searle hardly left the bridge
to take his meals. ' When we arrived at
Hong Kong a British man-of-war was
abont to go in search of us, for the re
port had got out that the Peking had
gone down with the Bokhara. The re
joicing on our safe arrival consequently
was great." "
The Lady Denies the Story.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 14. The report of
Senator Hill's engagement to Mrs.
Fanny Iverson, of Atlanta, is unequivo
cally denied. She met' Senator Hill
years ago on bis visit to Atlanta at one
of the receptions tendered him here.
The report of their engagement was cir
culated a short while after Gov. Hill's
visit to Atlanta at that time and has
been revived at intervals. Mrs. Iverson
has not met Senator Hill since then, and
those who know her best say there is
not a word of truth in the report. She
is one of the most beautiful women in
tbe south and has been widowed about
six years. Her friends laugh at the re
port that she is engaged to anybody.
Usefulness of Waterways.
Buffalo, Nov. 15. The importance
and usefulness of the lakes and Erie
canal as freight regulators, were never
more forcibly shown than at present.
While the rail rates on grain from
Chicago to New York are 5c per 100
pounds, equal to about 15 cents a bushel
on wheat, the water route rate, including
Buffalo charges, is 9 cents per bushel.
Possibly these low rates are made by
the boatmen in view of the approaching
close of the season, and the fact that
grain by the Erie canal can be held all
winter in the boats at a reasonable
charge. In any event, . it shows the
value of the canals as a freight regulator
in competition with the railroads. There
is an effort being made to keep the Erie
canal open nntil December 10th. Grain
shippers can now save 5c a bushel by
canal and secure cheap storage as well. .
A Bookmaker Misaing.
Chicago, Nov. 15. Jim Wall, the
famouB Australian bookmaker, who has
been doing business at Garfield Park
and other race courses here, is missing,
and is generally inquired for in sporting
circles. AH sorts of stories are going
around to the effect that he lost money
on the races here, and that at the close
of the season he bade good-by to his
friends, saying he was going back to
Australia. Another story was to the
effect that his money-bag and trunk
were found on the prairie, and the
police are looking for clues. Inquiry in
official quarters failed to elicit any defi
nite information.
A Cowardly Theft.
Shamokin, Pa., Nov. 15. Mrs. John
Grusie died today from the shock and
injuries caused by John Zertioc, a
boarder, who went into the room where
she lay sick Saturday night and choked
her nntil she told him where her money
was. She had concealed $140 under her
pillow. Zertioc took it and fled, to the
mountains. Officers are in pursuit of
the miscreant.

Oak Grove Ditch Kelnr Banldlr
'. Pushed Ahead. .
Special to The Chronicle, -
The Oak Grove ditch is being rapidiy
pulbed to the front. It is twelve feet
on,the bottom, and passes through the
finest belt of timber to- be found any
where. They have near one hundred
men at work, and all the teams they can
get ; and expect to work as long aa tlie
weather will permit. When it storms
in the mountains they will move into
the valley and continue the work. When
completed it will insure the proejerlt
of the finest section of country in Eastern.
Oregon. They have good soil and plenty
of it. Plenty of timber, and a good
road up Tygh Hill; and room for a
hundred more families. Two good
schools, a church, and any amount of
good climate. This enterprise is of great
importance to Sherman county, and also
Bake Oven, Antelope, Deep Creek, and
country east of Des Chutes river. As
this company intend to furnish every
thing in the line ol lumber, wood, posts,
etc., establishing lumber yards at differ
ent points on the Des Chutes river, for
persons wishing to get homes, there is
no location furnishing a better oppor
tunity for settlement. This enterprise ,
is deserving of all encouragement pos
sible, for it will increase in a few years
the wealth of Wasco county fully one
third. Having had the privilege of '
hauling water a part of the year every
year, and seeing iny neighbors do like
wise, I feel like giving three cheers for
the men who are engaged in this enter
prise. Wapixitia.

Ingalls on Election.
Atchison, Nov. 15. "The majority
has the right to rule," John J. Ingalls
said this morning, and when the major
ity expresses an opinion the verdict
should be accepted by every good citizem
promptly and cheerfully. ' Just now I

deliver 50 lectures in different parts of
the country, and that "The Causes anal
Consequences of the Recent Election."
will be one of his subjects.

Mourning Ills Suave.
St. Locib, Mo., Nov. 15. "Baron" J.
D. Oerth came here in July with ne
money. He induced an acquaintance to
put $5,000 into a bogus business. Now
the police advertise him as a fugitive'
from justice, and creditors to the amount
of $20,000 mourn his suave manners.
