Tli Thrilling- r.xiierlenee of Vuung I'm-lln will KrleuilA. Kkniikick, Idaiio, Dec. I. The so cnlied loHt hunting party in the Hitter Hoot mountains of Idaho, w hose reHCue linn excited so much interest during the pHHt few weeks, was organised !y Mr. V. K. Curlin last summer. The jiurty consisted of W. K. Carlin, son of Brigadier-General William I. Carlin; J. II. Peirce, brother-in-law of Mr. Carlin; and A. L. A. Himmelwright, secretary of the Columbia Granite company of New York City. They secured their out fit in Spokane, and engaged Martin spencer as guide, and George Colgate, of I'ost Falls, as cook. They proceeded by train to Kendrick, Idaho, and, with ten rayuscs and five weeks' provisions started out from thut point on Septeni' her 18. The route was by way of Knell's Mill, YVeippe, Brown's creek, Mussel Shell creek, and thence via Lo I.o truil to what are known as the Indian post- oflices,55 miles from Mussel Shell creek. At this point a trail branches from the IO Ia trail, and leads to the warm springs on the Cleurwater river. The destination of the party was reached on September 2(i. Although it rained steadily for 13 days, which interfered considerably with the pleasure of hunt ing, the parly met with great success, and on October 11) started on the return trip over the a l.o trail. After reaching the top of the first ridge parallel to the Clearwater river, 2.' feet of snow was (mind, and the guide estimated that the now would le four feet deep on the higher portions of the I-o Lo trail. Should the horses become exhausted from lack ol fund, the party would lie compelled to walk the Imlunce of the distance to Mussel Shell creek, and as the cook was tick and unable to walk, his position in ' NiWiase would he very serious. Thev decided to build rafts and went ''own the river in this way 22 miles when I'oniilers and swift water made further (""Kress impracticable. It was there "l"n decided to abandon the rafts nnd proceed the remaining distance of about to miles on foot. The cook at that time 'is in a semi-conscious condition, mor tification having set in in his legs below the knees. Only eight days' provisions were left, and as the cook could not pos sibly live but a few days longer and was besides perfectly helpless, he was made ah comfortable lis possible and the rest of the party began the journey on foot. The shores of the river were a mass of ragged rocks on which one could get at best only an uncertain foothold. Fre quently a large projecting clilf would atig over the river, and an hour or more would be consumed in surmount ing it. Ou the third day after abandon ing the raft the party reached the liluck anyun, which proved to be eight miles ln length. The river there haa almost vertical walls, varying from 2o0 to 1,000 'cet in height. Clinging to bushes and "'mill saplings with a footing sometimes only a few Inches in width, and often many hundred feet above the river, the progress of the nartv was necessarily How Anil ftrlraiiinlf li civil r.l.ma .................. Three days were consumed in passing "'rough the canyon, without shelter or "ftnkots, and sometimes harassed by ; rain and snow. Very little sleep could be secured, ami when on the eighth day the supply of flour was exhausted there was ample cause to feel discouraged. Itut, enfeebled us it was from loss of sleep and scarcity of food, the party pushed bravely on. On the 10th day of their trump, November 22, after having subsisted for two days on tea, three fish and a few berrios, while slowly moving down the river, and when within five miles of the nearest ranch, the party was fortunate enough to meet Lieuten ant Klliott, who was in charge of the relief exjieditions sent out from Van couver burracks. Mr. Elliott immedi ately made camp and cared for the hun gry men. His uniform kindness and solicitude for their comfort was much appreciated. As fust us tiie party was ablo to travel they were hurried onward by bouts on the river to the Indian ferry on the North Fork of the Clearwater river, 24 miles from Kendrick, then by wagon to Suell's Mill and then to Ken drick, where they arrived safely on No vember 80th, and were met by Brigadier-General William P. Carlin. A Murderer Hanged. Ahtokia, Dec. 1. John Reiter, the murderer of Victor Snellman, woe bunged promptly at noon today. He reud in a firm voice a confession ac knowledging the justice of his sentence. JuHt before the trap fell, a large num ber of sheriffs from different parts of the state and about 500 invited citizens from the city and county were admitted w ith in tiie iuclosure and suw the hanging, which went off all right. Ho ascended the steps of the gallows unaided and was given a few minutes time in which to say a few words to the spcteators. In firm tones he said : "I acknowledge my guilt of the crime fur w hieh I am about to suffer death, the justice of the sentence and the im partiality of the judge and jury. I have to thunk Sheriff Smith and his deputies for their kindness. I forgive everybody. I hope that I may myself be forgiven, and all will pray for me. Hnn.Ktliiii In the Coughlin Cane. Chilauo, Dec. 1. The Coughlin case furnished a fresh sensation this morn ing when the attorney for Coughlin pre sented affidavits showing that Juror Fred Crehm swore falsi y in his examination for admission to the jury when" he said he was in Toledo during the time of the Cronin murder. Affidavits showed he whs in Chicago and attended the Cronin funeral. The attorney linked that he be discharged. This, immediately '"'.low ing the dismissal of two jurors at the request of the prosecution for having secured places on the jury in Coughlin's interest, leaves the case in a chaotic condition almoHt unprecedented. MKLI.ll AUA1N TALK!. The Itnliel Ilraclllau Admiral Iue. Mill Another Manifesto. Nkw Yokh, Dec. 3. The Herald this (Sunday) morning prints a communica tion received through Senator Kuy Bur bosn, the exiled Brazilian, who is the leader and recognized mouthpiece of the Brazilian insurgents. It is from Mcllo, the rebel admiral, and was written on lioard the Aquidaban, just before leav ing the harbor of Bio. It reached the Heruld through that paper's correspond ent at Buenos A vres. The communica tion defines, in Admiral Mello's own words, the exact purpose of the revolu tion, and is written at the request of the Herald. The communication says: "I assure you our Bole and unchange able intention, as already stated in my last manifesto, is to establish the repub lican constitutional government, which was destroyed by Peixoto; to promote nutionul peace in all the states of Brazil, and to substitute a civil government for militarism and the awful system devel oped by an actual dictator, who prepares fur our country in this way the tremend ous misfortune common to Spanish com monwealths. All reports about mon archiul pinna as to the navy revolution are absolutely false." Mr. J. P. Blaize, an extensive real es tate dealor in Des Moines, Iowa, narrow ly escaped one of the severest attacks of pneumonia while in the northern part of Iowa during a recent blizzard, says the Saturday Review. Mr. Blaize had occasion to drive several miles during the storm and was so thoroughly chilled that he was unable to got warm, and in side of an hour after his return he was threatened with a severe case of pneu monia or lung fever. Mr. Blaizs sent to the nearest drug store and got a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, of which he had often beard, and took a number of large doses. He says the ef fect was wonderful and in a short time he wns breathing quite oasily. Ho kept on taking the medicine and the next day he was able to come lo lies Moines.

DEVOTED MAIXLY TO ROUTINE Nothing Definite Submitted on the Hawaiian Question Upholds the New Tariff Bill. The C'hlneoe Question The legislation of last year, known as the Geary law, requiring the rcgistra tion of all Chinese laborers entitled to residence in the United States and the deportation of all not complying with the provision of the act within the time prescribed, met with much opposition from Chinamen in this country. Act ing npon the advice of eminent counsel that the law was unconstitutional, the great mass of Chinese laborers, pending judicial inquiry as to its validity, in good faith declined to apply for the cer tificates required (by its provisions. A test npon a proceeding by habeas corpus was brought before the supreme court, and, May 15, 1893, a decision was made by that tribunal sustaining the law. It is believed that under the recent amend inent of the act extending the time for registration, the Chinese laborers there to entitled who desire to reside in this country will now avail themselves of the renewed privilege thus afforded by establishing by lawful procedure their right to remain, and that thereby the necessity of enforced deportation may to a great degree, lie avoided. Tha Hawaiian Affair. It is scarcely necessary for me to state thut the questons arising from our re lations with Hawaii have caused serious embarasement. Just prior to the in stallation of the present administration the existing government of Hawaii had been suddenly overthrown, and a treaty of annexation had been negotiated be. tween the provisional government of the islands and the United Stales, and submitted to the senate for ratification. This treaty I withdrew for examination and dispatched Hon. James II. Blount of Georgia to Honolulu as a special com missioner to make an impartial investi gation of the circumstances attending the change of government and of all conditions bearing upon the subject of the treaty. After a thorough and ex haustive examination, Mr. Blount sub mitted to me his report, showing be yond all question that the constitutional government of Hawaii had been sub verted w ith the active aid of our repre sentative to that government and through the intimidution caused by the presence of an armed naval force of the United States, which was landed for that purpose at the instance of our min ister. INSTRUCTION'S TO WILMS. Upon the facts developed it seemed to me that the only honorable course for our government to pursue was to undo the wrong that bad been done by those representing us, and to restore, as fur as practicable, the status existing at the time of our forcible Intervention. With a view of accomplishing this result, within the constitutional limits of our executive power, and recognizing all our obligations and responsibilities growing out of any changes in the conditions brought about by our unjustifiable in terference, our present minister at Hon olulu has received appropriate Instruc tions to that end. Thus far no informa tion of the accomplishment of .any do finite results bus been received from him. Additional advices are soon ex pected. When received, they will be promptly sent to congress, together with all other information at bond, ac companied by a special executive mes sage detailing the acts necessary to a complete understanding of the case, and presenting a history of all the material events leading up to the present situa tion. The Turin:. After a hard struggle, tariff reform is directly before us. Nothing so import ant claims our attention and nothing so clearly presents itself as both an op portunity and a duty an opportunity to deserve the gratitude of fellow citzens ; a duty imposed upon us by our oft re peated professions and by the emphatic mandate of the poople. After full dis cussion, our countrymen have spoken in favor of this reform, and they have con fided the work of its accomplishment to the hands of those who are solemnly pledged to it. If there is anything in tho theory of a representation in public places of the people and their desires, if political officers are really the servants of the people, and if political promises ' and professions hnve any binding force, our failure to give tbe relief so long 1 awaited will be sheer recreancy. Noth ing should intervene to distract our at tention or disturb our effort until this reform is accomplished by wise and careful legislation. While we should staunchly adhere to the principle that only the necessity of revenue justifies the imposition of tariff duties and other federal taxation, and that they should be limited by strict economy, we cannot clos? our eyes to the fact that conditions have grown up among us which in jus tice and fairness call for discriminating care in the distribution of such duties and taxation as the emergency of our govern ment actually demands. THE INTERESTS OF LAIIOR. The interests of labor are certainly though indirectly involved in this feat ure of our tariff system. The sharp competition and active struggle among our manufacturers to supply the united demand for their goods soon fills the narrow market to which they are con find. Then follows a suspension of the working of mills and factories, a die charge of employes and distress in the homes of our workingmen. Even if the often disproved assertion could be made good that a lower rate of wages would result from free raw material and low tariff duties, the intelligence of our workingmen leads them quickly to (lis cover that their steady employment, if permitted by free materials, is the most important factor in their relation to tariff legislation.

Senator Dolph will fire the first gun in the tariff debate, which is expected to begin today. In the house Representa tives Hermann and Ellis will be on hand with their petards. From dispatches received from Ger many and the East it looks as if the Union Pacific would be segregated some what. In that event the old O. R. & N. Co. may be themselves again.

The result of the appointment of a re ceiver to operate as a separate system the Union Pacific, Denver & Gulf rail way, many men believe, will be the dis memberment of what is known at pres ent as the Union Pacific svstem. The reading of the message in con gress yesterday excited but little inter est, until the Hawaiian part was begun, when the senators generally pricked up their ears and leaned forward in their seats with an air of close attention.

Washington. D. C, Dec. 4. The president submitted his message to con gress today. It is a very lengthy docu ment, covering a wider range of euhjects than tho one submitted to the special congress in September. Of paramount interest is his attitude on the Hawaiian question. He stoutly maintains his former position taken, and intimates that developments will vindicate all his actions. Of special importance is his advocacy of the abolishment of all fees pertaining to federal courts. He is an tagonistic to the fee system and urges congress to formulate the necessary leg islation looking to its abolishment. The subject promises to become fruitful. Duuhar Convicted. Pobtland, Or., Dec. 3. William Dun bar has been convicted on six of four teen counts contained in the first two indictments against him for opium smuggling. His case went to the jury at 9 :i!0 o'clock last evening, and an hour and a half later the verdict was returned. Elaborate arguments, both for the prose cution and defenee, were made Satur day, and the judge gave his charge to the jury, concerning the evidence and what to do with it. McGinn for the de fense, set up a claim of great respecta bility for Dunbar, and exhausted the vocabulary of appiobrious epithets in his search for synonyms to apply to Blum. BIG HUB IN ItALTIMOKK. The Loss Is Kstlmatetl at Nearly Haifa Million Dollsru. Baltimobe, Md., Dec. 2. Fire con sumed $400,000 worth of property in West Baltimore tonight. A general alarm was sent in from Lombard and Paca streets about 5 o'clock. Within two hours the commercial world was bereft of eome of its stellar enterprises, and a localitv renowned for its historic surroundings and imposing edifices was wiped out by the dreadful fire. Hun dreds of wage-earners had just been dis missed for the day when the cry of fire rang through the six-story double build ing at South Paca street and Cedar alley. Number 34 South Paca street was occu pied by three firms, the Deutsche Lith ogranh company, the drawers and over all factory of Juhn & Co., and the shoe factory of Charles Heiser. ' Nearly all the employes had departed before the fire alarm had been sounded, but when the flames were discovered eating their way along the ceiling Annie Taylor be came frenzied and leaped from a second storv window to the ground. She is dangerously injured. The firemen worked hard to save the I.angfelder building, but were battling against si much tinder. The flames spread to 3ti Sjuth Paca and that building was doomed. Sheet after sheet of flame swept in the direction of the university of Maryland buildings, but were fought back each time until the rear walls of the Heiser building fell upon the roof of the dissecting building with a crash. This decided the fate of the lalwratory, and in a short time the entire building was gutted. For five hours tbe city was illuminated by the blaze. The four- story double warehouse and luetory ot M. S. Levy fe Son, manufacturers and wholesalers of straw hats, Lombard street, was partly damaged by fire, while the stock is also injured by water. The rear part of John Dotterweiclie'e three-story saloon and dwelling was crushed by falling walls. Several other ailjaient buildings were more or less badly damaged. The total loss is es timated at $400,000, with insurance of $250,000. Shiloh's Vitalizer is what you need for dyspepsia, torpid liver, yellow skin or kidney trouble.

Tho judges said that not one-half of the wheat by the other states was holding up to the standard weight 60 pounds. Two samples of Oregon oats went 52Ja. This is certainly a grand showing when it is remembered that the standard weight for oats is 36 pounds. Oregon barley went 51 ponnde. on the scales, being 3 pounds above the. standard weight.
