THE DALLES WEEKLY CHRONICLE, FRIDAY, JUNE 30, 1893. COLLAPSE OF 4 HOTEL Many People Are Buried Ruins, in the THE CHICAGO ANARCHISTS FREE. Gov Allgcld Says They Did Not Have a Fair Trial and Pardons Them. Fort Scott, Kau., June 26. Tlie Treuiont hotel collapsed at half-past 9 this morning, without warning. Then. were 100 occupant in it. The house was brick, four stories high. The en tire east wall fell, followed by the three lloors and their load of occupant. Danger of other parts of the building falling prevents a thorough search for the bodies in the ruins. Twenty-seven occupants have been taken from the second story on the west side by meaus of a ladder, and others escaped through the regular exits. Mechanics are at work strengthening walls so that a search can be made. It is believed the accident was caused by the recent addi tion of a mansard roof which was too heavy for the foundations. Three men were taken out soon after noon, but their injuries are their deaths are expected in leading banks report this morning the demand from country banks for redis count and loans are smaller than for many weeks, and that the indications are the crisis has passed. Little more money is expected to be sent today to Han Francisco by registered mail, and possibly a small transfer may be made by telegraph to that place through the subtreaaury. Silver certificates dropped to 77l, commercial bar silver to 77 and Mexican dollars to 60 cents. The break is due to cables reporting the suspension of purchases of silver for Indian accounts and closing of the Indian mints. Mil. KOKIILAND ON TlllAL. II llaa a Formidable Array of Legal Talant. Portland, Or., June 20. It has been many months since a case has appeared in the criminal courts of Portland in which so much interest has been taken by the public generally as that against merchant Matthias Koshland, which came up this morning. Henry McGinn, for the prosecution, stated that the prosecution was based on on the statute passed by the session of the legislature of 1SS5, referring to the receipts issued by warehouses for goods stored in the building. That the jury might understand the grounds for the indictments returned by the grand jury, he read the sections which referred to . , . . T..-..I . 1.

Two hours were consumed by the cabinet today dis cussing the new phase of the silver ques tion, when other matters demanded their attention. The conferences yesterday afternoon and evening between the pres ident and Carlisle 8 i m pi i lied matters to some extent. Although the discussion, it is said, took a wide range, it was nee cessarily brought back to the one im portant unmanageable point, that the executive hail no power in the premises, congress alone being able to deal with measures for relief. It is plain to the cabinet the monthly purchase of silver must lie continued or congress must be convened in special session immediately. As the president decided to call congress together in the early part of September to deal with the limincial situation, and has manifested no intention of changing his stated purpose, the project of an earlier session of congress, it is under stood, was dropped. As far ns the con tinuance of the purchases of silver under the Sherman law is concerned, it was pointed out that little more than two months remained before congress would convene in extra session, and during the intervening time the silver lots pur- out o( court. The result was surprise to all, and a murmur of applause ran through the court room when the er dict of the Jury, who were instructed by the court to acquit the defendant, was read by the clerk. Tomorrow Mr. Koshland must answer to a second indictment of the grand jury, which accuses him of Issuing a warehouse receipt for goods not in Ins tore, which goods were 3(1,1)14 sheep skins. This amount, the indictment alleges, was not in the store at the time, nor were there more than 3,!05 sheep skins. BIO LAKH HTKAMfcKS. section which states that no person shall , chasw!

Washington, June 25. General ' Catchings, of Mississippi, who was a member of the last house committee on -rules, in speaking of the legislation which will occupy the attention of con .gressat the special session this autumn, aid : "The repeal of the Sherman act and the reform of the tariff are the two great subjects with which we will have to deal. The numerical strength of the free sil ver vote is uncertain, but It is certain many members will oppose its repeal unless something nearer to free coinage is offered. When the tariff debate springs np, every protected industry in the country will have a representative on the floor. uh the opposition so etrong, it will be absolutely necessary to modify rules, else nothing can be done. It is nearly as certain as anything can be that quite a considerable change will be the results of a conference and past experiences. Last winter the com mittee on rules formulated a provision which should meet the case. It was to the effect that it shall always be in or der to call up for consideration a report from the committee on rales. The rule declares that after a report of the com mittee has been made but one motion to adjourn shall be entertained. It will be as direct and strong method of closure ss can be devised, and I have little doubt of its adoption. By this course the conduct of the business of the honse will be placed entirely in the bands of the majority. With regard to the sentiment of the South concerning the repeal of the Sherman act, I believe it is in fomentive state. Eighteen months ago the South was strongly in tavor of free coinage, but it is not so to day.

Feeling- In Mew York Money Market Much Kaaler. Xbw York, June 26. Money is strin gent, call loans ranging at 10 to SO. There is a good deal of calling in of loans preparatory to July Interest and divi dend disbursements. This is liable to continue until the first of the month. The market will also likely work close for the first 10 days in July, as it is esti mated it will take at least that time to restore money called into the normal channels. The stock exchange houses are prepared for a siege of this sort and are discouraging speculation. Time money and mercantile paper are merely nominal. Foreign exchange is heavy mid demoralized ; posted rates were re duced 1 per cent to $4. S3 to $1.85. Re ceipts of bills from the interior by this morning's mail were small.

That in truth and In fact I bail, and is again running the paper, but is letting Spreckles alone, pending the result of the libel suit. Spreckles is now avowedly on the war path against the provisional government, and, though he has yet made no new move, disquieting rumors are being cir culated as to his intentions of pinching business men who are unfortunate enough to be under financial obligations to him. The advisability of taking away from Spreckles the Oceanic Steamship Company mail subsidy of $1,000 per month and giving it to the Canadian Pacific or Pacific Mail is still being con sidered by the government. Minister Blount was much disap pointed at not receiving word by the last steamer that his successor bad been appointed. He had hoped his own re quest to the state department, together with the publicity given his desires in the matter by the newspapers, would have some weight in securing his recall. He has said that he would not reside in Honolulu permanently under any cir cumstances, and as he considers that his work here is finished, he is more than anxious to get away. As an argument for annexation, the Star prints a revised list of taxpayers who pay taxes on property valued at $10,000 and over. According to the Star's figures, the people in favor of an nexation pay taxes on property assessed at 23,iiO0,OO0, royalists $2,300,000, di vided $.",100,000.' doubtful $1,1'0,000, republican $'270,000. The royalists dis pute the correctness of this showing. Ilunkln an Imbecile. The great lecturer and art critic of London, England, John Buskin, has be come an imbecile. He was born in 1810, his father being a London merchant. Physically weak, his mental powers have! been remarkably great. His earliest literary efforts peared when only 15. He aiea I mm (ixmrri in1, ii 1830 and four years joHMrXuSttl later published the first volume of "Modern Painters," criticism of which brought him prominently before the public. He turned Lis attention to English architecture with a view to re forming it, in which lie succeeded in a marked degree. He studied the best architecture of Europe, particularly Venice, and in 1851 published his "Stones of Venice" illustrated by him-1 self. Very opular among his works ! are "Ethics of the Dust," "A Crown of Wild Olive," and "Sesame and Lilies."' the said Koshland had not this amount of pork in the building when he issued the receipts. J. W. Whalley presented the case for the defense. He said that the defense lay in the de nial that the statue under which indict ment was made referred to the defend ant's case. He did not carry on a pub lic warehouse, but was an ordinary bailee. He taid that the law was framed to provide for the prevention of fraud by persons running public ware houses, but was not intended to affect commission men. As a public ware house, the state would have to show that Koshland Bros, allowed depositors to store goods in the building, which he said was clearly not the case. The attorney then gave a short his tory oi the firm's business relations with the bank of British Columbia, their failure in business and their assignment to that corporation. He stated that if the goods mentioned in the excerpt did not happen to be in their store at the time it was to their credit, and that the receipt was given to the bank to balance their account, as is often done in business transactions. "If," said Mr. Whalley, "Mr. Koshland wanted to defraud the bank, be could easily legally kept the $100,000 worth of real estate which lie turned over to the bank to satisfy its claims." He closed with an appeal to take into considera tion the character of the defendant, and the fact that he has stood among the highest of business men in this city for over 25 years. Limar'i Hneceeaor. Howell Edmunds Jackson, who suc ceeded Justice Lamar on the bench of the United States supreme court, is a native and resident of Tennessee. He was born at Paris, that state, April 8, 1832. He graduated from East Tenries- eee college at the age of 17, after which he spent two years at the Uni- He then studied law at the Lebanon Law School where he graduated in 1850. After three years practice in Jackson he removed to Mem phis. Judge Jackson has twice been ap pointed to the supreme bench of .his state. In 1850 he became a member of the state house of representatives and soon after was elected to the United States senate, where he served from 1881 until he was appointed a United Will lie Conrt-Martlaleit. Kour New Hoate Are Ordered Hy I he Oreat Northern. Since tho recent visit to Cleveland, Ohio, of Piesident Hill, of the Great Northern, to tho tilolie Iron works, where the two big twin-crew passenger steamers are being built fur this line, ii ha leen decided to build four nunc steamers of the tye now under con struction. The boats will cost $i'kKI,IHK) each, and will develop 0,000 horse Hwer. They will lie 410 feet long, or 30 feet longer than the boats now under way. Work on the first of them will probably not be started until one of the steamers to come out next season has a trial. It Is proposed to have a lxut leave HutValo almost daily for the head of lake Super ior. It is said that there is some scheme for the control of trunscoutfnenttil pas senger traffic involved in the building of these bouts. , Imtla'a Mint floee. London, June 20. Telegrams from Calcutta say the Indian government bus stopjted the coinage of siher for private account at the mints. Iu tho house of lords Earl Kiinhoti) , secretary of state for India, stated the Indian council had passed an act for the immediate closing of Indian minis to the free coinage of Bilvcr. He further said it was intended to introduce a gold standard in India, but that gold in the meantime would not be iimde the sole legal tender. I'realilent IMaa M ill Not llun. City ok Mkxico, June 20. It is re ported on good authority that General Diai will not be a candidate for re-election as president of Mexico, and that the government candidate will be General Reyes, the present governor of the state of Nuevo Leon. Generul Beyes is one of the ablest officials in Mexico, and the state of Nuevo Leon has made more rapid advancement during his administration than any other state in Mexico, during the same period. He recently visited j this city, and held a long conference with President Diaz. A Huggeatliin From Mexico. City ok Mexico, June 27. The tre mendous drop in the price of silver yes terday and today, bringing exchange in New York to 00 per cent, has caused much discussion among Mexican bank- ess. 1 hey generally regard the present situation as offering opxrtunity fur the United States to force bimetaliHiu npon Europe. It is suggested by one man that the United States might issue a gold loan of $500,000,000 four-and-a-half per cent bonds, which it is said would he immediately taken up in Europe, where all other government securities would immediately drop heavily, not being able to compete with American bonds. Then, according to the theory. gold would flow into the United States, and in a short time bimctalism would have been adopted by Europe, and the enormous quantity of silver held by the American treasury would rise in value, the whole transaction being immensely profitable to the United States. It is said here that if nothing is done to bring alxut bimetalisra, all the silver using countries will begin manufactur ing for themselves, and the United States and Europe will lose enormously in their foreign trade. The United States, it is argued, could afford to un dertake a gigantic financial operation, being able to feed it, and has now a wonderful opportunity to settle the sil ver question permanently. senator liolph on the Sherman Law. Washington, June 27 .Senator Dolph, of Oregon, the only Pacific slope senator in the city, said this morning : "I am opjiosed to my colleagues, you know on the subject of free coinage, and am in favor of maintaining all currency on par with gold ; but it seems to me this action of the Indian government will diminish, instead of increase, the pros pect of passing a repeal of the Sherman I law by the senate. I think the effect will be to make the thoughtful members j of congress hesitate liefore they further depreciate the valiieof silver by suddenly throwing upon the markets of the world 4,500,000 ounces of silver, equivalent to nearly the whole American product now purchased and in stock by tlie guvnrn ment. I do not know that anything U'tter than a repeal of the Sherman act can bn done t relieve tho situation, but I am fearful a repeal of that act would he disastrous to the finances of the gov ernment mid silver." vi ww w t w I l VJ-s I Mr tn tunrunnn Cnkfn!ti! m i- V IU HUJUIIG dUUdUIUIIIg IUI ThaDalles Daily Chronj for 12 Months at 60 Cents a month. or 5 UeeHly l?ropiei mi z.60 PER ANNUM.
