OFFICIAL fAI'ER OK WASCO COISTV.
A young ninn of 18 has joined the 40
day fasten in l'ortland, becoming im
buod with that species of reliifiaua fer
vor, amounting to insanity, which defies
all physical laws. Anderson and his
wife are still fasting. When some year?
ago Dr. Tanner fasted -40 days he did so
for a scientific purjiose, and abstained
a well from exercise, late hour and
excitement. Not so these religious
fanatics. Their misguided faith induces
them to make heavy demands upon
their vital forces, working their usual
number of hours, and sitting up far into
the night, attending their frenzied meet
ings. Being unsupported by vulgar
bread and meat, they are reduced to
skeletons and several of them have died,
and the only reward they get from their
own co-believers is a curse and a
trumped-up excuse that they had eaten
something else in the meantime, for
which they were struck with death for
disobeving. If their saii.t-like leader
would only starve herself to death, it
might save a good many lives, for ier
haps their eyes would then become open
to the fact that whereas spirit may ex
ist without material sustenance, the
body must have its natural food and
rest. The age of miracles is past, and
if not the tendency would be not to di
minish, but to multiply the loaves and
fishes, as of old.
The suicide of two or three men out
of work in Chicago should be a warning
to unemployed mechanics and laborers
to keep away from that citv. The Chi
cago Herald preaches a short sermon on
the subject, in the course of which it
says: "There are too many workmen
here. The magnet of the world's fair

The Buffalo Courier says, in an ex
tremely sarcastic vein : Salt is a valua
ble mineral. It is a necessity, which
silver is not. It is not a perishable
product. It can be bought and stored
and will retain its savor for an indefinite
time. Formerly the salt springs of
Onondaga, owned by the state of .New
York, supplied almost the whole coun
try and were a very valuable property.
Then salt sold for several dollars a
barrel and the output of Onondaga
amounted to millions. The opening of
new wells and new mines of salt has so
increased the production that the value
of the great Onondaga projierty has
passed away and salt has declined till
today a barrel of choice fine salt can be
bought in the Buffalo market for SO

A Washington correspondent believes
that the international arbitration over
the Behring sea dispute will not be
settled peaceably. That in the event
Kngland is worsted she will rely upon
the force of arms, and that if the United
States is beaten she will not surrender
her rights. He savs : I am sure that
many influential people in the United 1
States would advise the administration
not to give up American rights in Ben-'
ring sea, even if the arbitrators should !
decide that there were no such things as
American rights at that sea. The pre- i
sence of a Kuesian fleet of war vessels ;
would remain permanently on the At-'
lantic coast furnishes good presumptive
evidence that our government is taking
precautions to strengthen its floating
fighting force; for, even if there were no i
special alliance in existence between the I
two governments, Russia would be our '
natural ally in case of trouble with Eng-,
land over liehring sea matters, and so ;

In lines other than the provision, the

a result, purchases have I it'll limited.
Prices for all lines of merchandise are

In view of the?e ciianges and the severe
loss to vested interests, ought not the
government to buy and store the salt
product in order to prevent further re

There is every proitability of a war, in
which the largest nations of the old
world may become involved, if France's
demands upon Siam are not modified.
France will rely for support upon P.us
sia, and the Siamese upon China and
England. Germany of course will not
be long in showing her bund, with an
ambitious young emperor who has not
yet won his spurs, and spoiling for a
chance to show his prowess, and as the
fight wnxes warm there is no gn easing
where it will stop. Prof. Totten will
rgue from it the speedy wind-up of
things terrestrial, and so in truth it
would be for tens of thousands of poor
wights who would die in an complete
ignorance of the territory they are tight
ing for as Totten is as to the dav set for
the beginning of the milleninm.
The financial situation is undoubtedly
improving from this point of view. A
seatly decreased number of failing
banks are being reported to the comp
troller of the treasury, and a number of
those which suspended are applying to
resume operations. Money is becoming
easier, and lenders arc regaining confi
dence. It now looks as if the financial
conditions will be vastly better by the
time congress convenes in extra session.
It has been reported in Washington
that the Chinese telegraph system has
been connected with the Kussian system,
so that messages may now be sent over
land between any part of China, Russia,
Europe, and by cable to Africa, North
and South America and Australia. The
whole world is now wired and telegraph
ically connected.

Special Agent Tingle, of the treasury do- j
partment, savs the government lias a I
good rase against the ex-ofliciuls of the
customs service w ho have licen indicted
at l'ortland, Or. Mr. Tingle savs the
collector at l'ortland must have received
about 50 a head for each Chinese he
smuggled in. There were 1,700 Chinese
brought in in all, and the revenue de
rived by these enterprising trojtnry
officials mu.n have amounted to about
85,000. It is believed that a majority
of these Chinese were admitted on fraud
ulent affidavits, but the mnrt.ing thing
about the whole smuggling operations of
the customs officials is that they not
only required the Chinese who were
candidates for illegal entry to pay "(),
but the Chinese who under the law were
entitled to enter had to pay as we'l. Mr.
Tingle says that at Victoria the smug
glers had regular headquarters, where
bogus affidavits were made out and
signed with fictitious names, acknowl
edged before a mythical notary public
and a counterfeit noturial seal affixed.
In a great many cases the photograph
w as also attached as a means of identifi
cation. Tingle estimates that there were
8,500 pounds of opium smuggled in, the
duty on which would amount to 102,
000. It was very difficult to catch the
boats with the contraband stuff on Ixxmi.
Several times they were senrched, hut
thev had been unloaded in the river.
The government has lieen working on
this case diligently for months, and only
succeeded at last in making out cases
against the 15 indicted men by means of
some of the guilty ones who volunteered
to turn state's evidence. When it was
that these had
