Spokakb. Dec. 14. Wrecking trams
on the Great Northern have just com
pleted clearing the track of one of the
most complete and miraculous events in
the line of railway wrecks that has yet
occurred in the Pacific Northwest. A
freight train on the western extension
of the Great Northern met with the
event Saturday night and it was only
due to one of those unusual streaks o;
luck that nobody, was killed. The train,
made up of twenty cars and a caboose,
left the extreme western extension early
Satnrday morning, ami alter passing the
eleventh siding the same evening ran
into a bunch of cattle, throwing the
front trucks of the engine from the
track and making almost a complete
wreck of four freight cars. Seven other
cars were ditched, but not severely dam
aged. The engine-had taken on a snow i-low
at Wena tehee and its bulky form greatly
interfered with the engineers view of the
track. While running along Crab creek,
the engineer saw a few yards distant a
large herd of cattle crossing the track.
He reversed the engine, but before the
brakes could be applied sufficiently to
slow down the rapidly running train the
snow plow struck a big bull broadside
and knocked two cows off the track.
The first four cars were badly de
molished. One of these were the cook
car, in which four men were asleep, and
it is the greatest wonder that any of
them escaped with their lives. The curs
were piled up in a heap on the track, and
were so badly damaged that they are
almost a total loss. The cooking car was
jammed in between them, and one end
stood almost upright with . the sides
crushed in.
The Bleeping occupants were thrown
violently to the end of the car, and three
of them were taken out sustaining only
a fewfbarked legs. The fourth man was
under a few light boxes yelling lor help.
He was taken out with a sprained ankle.
The poor fellow was frightened almost
to death and it took the utmost coaxing
of the crew to persuade him that he had
not been killed. Five others, in all nine
men, were on the train. Four cars were
thrown clear off the track on the north
side and three tumbled down the bank
on the south side. The caboose and
eight rear cars did not leave the track.
On Tuesday a banting party com
posed of Messrs. W. E. Garretson, Hal
French; Deputy tj, S, Marshal Jamvwa
. . V9 .1 i. i s; ' T ...
and Kailroad iiugineer Jtieiiey, leu me
city for the upper Colombia hunting
grounds near Squally Hook, about fifty
miles from this place, on a hunting
spree for wild geese. They arrived at
their destination O K, and proceeded to
build blinds to shield them from the
game as it flew past, and after they had
fairly secreted themselves comfortably
and were ready to open their batteries
on the game, up came one of those wind
storms which that locality is noted for,
uud scattered ' their shelters and the
gunners unceremoniously. They went
into consultation ami decided to cross
the river and try their Inck on theoppo-
Hite side, and took a small boat, put
their hunting paraphernalia aboard and
embarked, determined to have geese or
starve. The river was rough when they
started, but after they had reached the
middle of the stream, which is nearly a
i'nf of a mile wide, it was rougher still
anil the waves ran mountains high.
The water whs too cold to think of a
bath flu a December eve, so one of the
party, V'ho was more accustomed to the
throttle than the oar, prayed the others
to return, which they did, resigned to
the ill luck" that was theirs. The next
thing to do., as it was getting lute, was
to look out for the train. In due time
it came alontr. and to their chagrin the
conductor foudiv told them to wait for
the passenger train which, unknown to
them, was six or eight hours late,
Thev sought a sheltered nook and built
a fire arid made the best of the situation
thev could. Tired and hungry they
waited and waited until the early morn
ing came, and the delayed train "stopped
and brought them home yesterday about
9 o clock a. in., with narv a gnose, out a

Homer, of the opposition line, was or
dered by the owners of the goods to take
on board 6,000 cases of salmon for San
Fruncisco, which have been stored on
the Union Pacific wharf for some time.
She was notified by the Union Pacific
ugent at Astoria, that she would have
to pay $500 before being allowed to land.
The officers of the Homer refused this
demand, and the steamer dropped down
to the Alain-street wharf. Drays were
engaged in moving the salmon from the
Union Pacific wharf to Main-street
wharf, and the steamer sailed at 4 p. in.
The agent's demand was made on the
strength of a telegram from Agent
Campbell, in Portland.

Foolish Fear."
Special to Th Chbomcls.
Fosii., Or., Dec. 12. The Roslyn bank
robbery affair is the t object of the
hour and is talked of in every place
from the peaceful fireside to the pnblic
bar. From the stories in print about
George Zachary and others one is very
likely to form an erroneous idea of these
so-called bank robbers. The story about
Geo. Rose being convicted of cattle-stealing
and then being simply fined hardly
gives due credit to our law-abiding citi
zens. The jury found Rose guilty all
right enough ; Judge Bradshaw imposed
the sentence. W hile the general reputa
tion of these men is rather shady we
certainly object to having it said that
they ever influenced the administration
of justice through fear of them by the
officers, either local or comity. AH agree
that Sullivan, made a "show" of himself,
in bringing a small army to capture
these "outlaws." It shows that he took
council of a very foolish fear, at any rate.

Washington, Dec. 10. Congress is
jogging along very quietly, careful of
snaking any breaks. The republican
members feel that it is not for them to
propose, and the democrats feel the
necessity for going slow on anything
new, and they appear to be in doub!
about some things that are not new
The republicans say the democrats are
waiting to ascertain Mr. Cleveland's
wishes before showing their hands
There is at least one thing upon which
the Cleveland democrats and the Hill
lemocrats appear to be in perfect ac
cord. That is the repeal of the Sher
man silver law. Senator Hill has him
self introduced a bill in the senate for
its repeal, and a similar bill has been
introduced in the house by Representa
tive Williams, of Massachusetts, who is
one of the most ardent admirers of Mr.
Cleveland in congress. The introduc
tion of these bills indicates that the
democrats expect nothing to be accom
plished by the International Monetary
conference, and they are not . alone in
that expectation.
If the talk of members is any indict
tion it seems safe to predict that Presi
dent Harrison's recommendations cou
cerning a further restriction. of immigra
tion, and the establishment of a national
quarantine, will be acted upon at this
session. A bill has been introduced m
the house bv a democrat, to provide for
national quarantine, and one in the
xenate by a republican to suspend ' im
migration one year from next March

and house immigration committees, and
will also be introduced in the house, so

officers, the projectors of course, expect

of state senators is full, according to the
state constitution, any new counties
cut off in future must slice up their sena
torial representation. But there are
counties enough now. There is no sense
in splitting up every few townships into
a new county just to please would-be
papsuckers.. Of course, the next session
of the legislature will have to be bored
by these propositions from various parts
of the state, but it ' is not likely that
schemers will succeed. All fairminded
citizens who have the states best inter
ests ot heart, will agree that our popu
lation is even yet too sparce for .proper
support of the counties now in organi
zation. There should be a marked in

Senators Kyle and Peffer appear to be
tally alive to the importance of their
votes in the organization of the senate
of the 53d congress, and neither of them
will give the slightest indication of
which party they intend to vote with in
the organization of the senate. It is ap
parent, however, from their conversa
tion that they expect, with other third
party senators yet to be elected, to hold
the balance of power in the next senate,
and that their intention is to insist upon
certain concessions from the party that
gets their votes.
Secretary Foster's aunual report, in
which tie shows, to his satisfaction, that
there should be a surplus, instead of the
redicted deficit, for the fiscal year end-
ng June 30, 1894, is not as comforting
as one would have supposed such infor
mation would be to the democrats who
are now engaged in preparing the bills
nrrying the appropriations for that year,
which must be passed bv the present
congress, for the very simple reason that
they do not accept the secretary's
figures.
In a quiet way the speakership of the
next house is already exciting consider
able interest, and if it shall soon be ap
parent that Representative Hooker's bill
changing the time for congress to meet
from December to March stands a good
chance of becoming a law at this season,
that interest will become all-absorbiner.
