The announce ment that fo00,(MI0 in gokl would be shipped to (.iermany on the steamship Trave tomorrow was not unexpected. As a matter of fact it was thought the amount would be $1,000,000, and it is not improbable that during the day an other t."00.000 may 1 engaged. Sterling exchange is a shade higher, which lends color to tlie report that one of the banking houses with foreign con nections is arranging to send $1,000,000 of gold by Tuesday's steamer. The high rate of money on the conti nent is one of tlie main inducements to ship gold, the rate in Berlin being 4's', liile here money on call is in greater Ktipply than the demand at 1 and l.'a'. The exportation of gold is looked upon in certain quarters as not an unfavora ble factor of the financial situation here if it should Hot reach large proportionSj and no fears are expressed that the drain will be in any way dangerous. A linu w hich ordered $2o0,000 has canceled the order and will hold it for Tuesday's steamer. M4LKM WANT KVKUYTHING. Injunction Axalimt the Location, of the Aeylum ami Holcllem Hniue. Salkh, Or., Dec. 9. Proceedings are about to lie brought enjoining the loca tion of tlie branch insane asylum iu East ern Oregon and the soldiers' home at Roselmrg. Papers have already been drawn up, but no lioud has yet been given and the papers have not been served, and it is said this evening they may not lie. A large number of business men and representative citizens were in terviewed today, aud almost without ex ception all are opposed to tlie injunc tion. On the subject the Statesman will say editorially tomorrow : "A new feature of the action at law is that the injunction seeks to prevent the location of a branch insane asylum at some site to be hereafter selected in Eastern Oregon. So fur as the soldiers' home case is concerned, the supreme court has already rendered a decision showing pretty clearly the position of tlie court concerning this quasi-federal institution. The branch asj luui injunc tion is another mattor entirely, involv ing new questions not heretofore touched U)ion by the courts. It is not known 'what motive prompts these injunctions but they show conclusively the operation of some power whose subtle purpose will result" disastrously to Western Oregon. The framers of tlie constitution had no purpose to prevent the location of branch suite institutions at convenient points throughout the state, nor have the people of Oregon ever so construed the corstitu tion, else several state normal schools, the state university, agricultural college etc., would now be congregated at Salem. Tlie people of Western Oregon and Salem are almont unanimously in favor of these federal and branch institutions being situated where the legislature or their several boards locate them. Governor Lew ellltiir'e lrnposed Kuad. Toi'kka, Dec. 7. The Danish consul at Kansas City is here trying to interest millers in the Gulf transportation pro ject. He says he lias secured pledges of 40 millers in the state to ship their ex port flour by the new Gulf steamers to Copenhagen. lie says there is nothing in the report that wheat cannot lie shipped by the Gulf route, E. J. Close, late president of tlie North and South railroad convention, says he has a letter from a responsible railroad builder, otler ing to build a road from the British pos sessions to the Gull and turn it over on a guaranteed interest of 4 per cent ou the cost. The proposition will be consid ered at the next meeting of the provis ional board of directors in January. Close believes tlie road will be com menced in six months and completed in two years, at a cost of about $38,000,000. The Couchlln Trial. Ciik'aoo, Dec. II. Taking of evidence in the Coughlin trial began this morn ing. Tlie first witness was ex-Captain Villlers, of the Lakeview police in whose territory Dr. Cronin'i body was found. Captain Villiers testified to the finding of Cronin'i body iu a catch-basin aud the numlier and character of the wounds. For a sore throat there is nothing better than a flannel bandage dampenod with Chamberlain's Pain Balm. It will nearly always effect a cure in one night's time. This remedy is also a fa vorite for rheumatism and has cured very severe cihds. 60 cent bottles for sale by I'.lakcley A Houghton. THE FRENCH EXCITED By tlie Explosion of a Bomb in me Chamber or Deputies. THROWN' FROM THE GALLERIES Over 8o Persons Wounded, Though It Is Xot Thought Any Were Fatally Injured. Pakih, Dec. 9. A bomb was thrown in the chamber this afternoon, happily without fatal results. M. Marmin had been shaking from the tribune and had descended to resume his seat, when a man in the gallery above mentioned throw a bomb toward the floor. The bomb had a time fuse attached to it, for as it passed the head of Professor Le mire, deputy for flazelbruch, it ex ploded with a terrific report. Dense clouds of smoke and dust ascended, shutting out from view for a time those sitting in the body of the house. For a single instant the house was perfectly quiet, aud then, members and others realizing what had occurred, there was the wildest excitement. The officers dp tailed to guard the building were the first to gHin their senses. They first shut the great doors leading to the chamber, to prevent the escape of the liorub-thrower. The people in the gal leries fled in wild disorder, fearing that other bombs would be thrown. They were in a state bordering on frenzy, and almost fell over each other in their wild but futile attempts to get out of the building. One lady, whom it was sub sequently learned was an American, had been Lit in the forehead by a piece of the casting of the bomb, and she fled with blood streaming over her face. Before the chamber adjourned a small army of nurses and physicians arrived. They took possession of the committee rooms and speedily transformed them into hospitals, where the woands of the injured were examined for scraps of iron aud were then bandaged, that the pa tients might be removed safely to their homes. Late tonight it was announced the police have in custody a man who, on entering the tribune, refused to remove his overcoat when requested. The man referred to is wounded and was among the first carried out. Another man, who attempted to evade the doorkeeper and escape from the precincts of the chamber, is also being closely watched. Some of the spectators recognize him as the thrower of the bomb and his name is Lenoir. Six suspected people who tried to escape with Lenoir are detained for examination. Lenoir recently ar rived from Bordeaux, and has been un der police surveillance ever since. WASHINGTON LETTER. Vlie I HI lufai tory Condition Iu Which Cleveland la Placed. From our Kfifiilur Correspondent Washington, Dec. 8, 18'J:!. Tlie troubles of tlie administration are increasing with a rapidity that must be appalling to the stolid occupant of the white house. Congress had hardly got through listening to tlie dreary plati tudes and misleading statistics with which tlie president's message was filled before bills and resolutions began to be introduced in the house and senate of a nature calculated to be far from pleasing to the administration, and facts to be made public that falsified statements made in tlie message. Senator Hoar started the ball ou the Hawaiian ques tion by the introduction of a resolution. which was passed, calling on tlie presi dent for copies of all correspondence and nstructions emanating from the admin istration on that subject, and a rattling short speech criticising the remarkable position of the administration was made by Senator Dolpli. Representative Hitt, of Illinois, introduced a similar resolu-1 tion in the house. Senator Hill also an tagonized, in a speech, the position of Mr. Cleveland on this Hawaiian business. Bills have been introduced iu both house and senate, by democrats, which carry on their faces condemnation of the ad ministration pension policy. Take it all in all the indications are that the "wild team," as General Harrison so aptly termed the democratic majority in con gress, will be harder to control than it was at the extra session. Mr. Cleveland stated in hi usual dog matic style, in his message, that the deficiency iu revenue ly reason of the Cleveland tariff bill would only be $"J8, 000,000. Now it is officially announced by the treasury department that it will be at least ftiO.OOO.OoO. He requested that the money question lie let alone. and Representative Bland, chairman of the lioiiHe coinage committee, announces that bis free coinage bill, one of the fir?t introduced at this eeesion,1s to be re ported and passed. The republican paty is fortunate in having political matters in the senate looked after by a caucus committee made up of the following senators: Allison of Iowa, Aldrich of Rhode Island, Hale of Maine, Collom of Illinois, Dolph of Oregon, Manderson of Nebraska, Quay of Pennsylvania, Washburn of Minne sota, and Dubois of Idaho, the first named being chairman and the last sec retary. It would have been difficult for Senator Sherman, chairman of the cau cus, to have named a more representa tive committee, or one that would have contained more political shrewdness. The republicans in the senate will de bate the Cleveland tariff bill long enough to show up its general absurdity and viciousness, bnt they will not resort to dilatory tactics to prevent a vote. If, after the bill has been thoroughly shown up, the democrats are willing to assume the responsibility of making it a law, no illegitimate obstacles will be raised by republicans. The republican party has from its birth been thoroughly com mitted to the doctrine of majority rule and it will not change because the poli tics of the majority has changed. That would be imitating the democrats. Petitions are already coming to con gress in large numbers from old Union soldiers asking that Secretary Hoke Smith's high-handed method of dealing with pensioners be investigated. Wheth er any investigation is ordered or not there's going to be some speeches made on the subject in both house and senate that will not please the administration, and some of them are going to be made by democrats. The bronze statue donated by the state of Illinois, for statuary hall, in the administration building, was formally accepted by congress and un veiled with impressive ceremonies Wednesday afternoon, the principal ad dress being made by rov. Altgeld. It is said that orders have been given by the democratic boss to shut out Oklahomb when it comes to admitting new states, because of the belief that it is republican. Arizona, New Mexico and Utah are to be admitted on the pledges made by prominent democrats that they will all elect democratic legis latures. Six administration democratic senators are not to be sneezed at in the present condition of the senate. It is stated by democrats that the ad ministration has become alarmed at the almost unanimous public sentiment against it and flunked on its Hawaian programme, and that Mr. Cleveland will send t rpecial message to congress. together with all the correspondence, etc., and ask congress to relieve him of further responsibility by deciding what shall be done. From the same source the statement that the revenue cutter which secretly left San Francisco for Honolulu this week carried a letter to Minister Willis revoking his previous in structions and telling him to do nothing until congress expresses its wishes. If this be true it ends all the royal non sense, for U certain that there are not a score of men in congress who will vote for the restoration of the queen. Cas. Two Murder flanfftd. Danvili-e, III., Dec. 8. Harvey Pate and Frank Stires were successfully ex ecuted here at 1 o'clock this afternoon. The crime for which they paid the penalty was committed August 25, last. They, with Elios McJunken and Charles Smoot, all young men, ranging from 17 to 21 years of age, were readers oi trashy literature, and Pate had passed two years among the cow boys of Texas. They waylaid Henry Houmick, a wealthy farmer, and wife on the country road. When ordered to stop, Houmick struck the horse with a whip and Pate shot him dead. Stires and Pate were sen tenced to death, the others, being the youngest of the party, to imprisonment. There were two attempts to lynch them. They professed repentance and were baptized yesterday. Hperlmen Caeee. S. H. Clifford, New Cassel, Wis., was troubled with neuralgia and rheumatism, his stomach was disordered, his liver was affected to an alarming degree, ap petite fell away, and he was terribly re duced in flesh and strength. Three bot tles of Electric Bitters cured him. Edward Shepherd, Harrisburg, 111., had a running sore on his leg of eight years' standing. Used three bottles of Electric Bitters and seven boxes of Bucklcn's Arnica Salve, and his leg is sound and well. John Speaker, Cata waba, O., fcd fiva largo fever sores on his leg, doctors said he was incurable. One bottle Electric Bitters and one box Bucklen's Arnica Salve cured him en tirely.

The Outrage Has Greatly Strengthened the Government War Between Equador and Peru. Paris, Dec. 11. The excitement re sulting from the throwing of the bomb in the chamber of deputies Saturday has somewhat subsided, and the people are now looking to the chamber to enact measures to stamp out the reds. Pre vious to this outrage the union of social ists and anarchists was strong enough in the chamber to overthrow onegovern ment, and they were confident of being able to do the' same with the existing government; but Vaillant's dastardly performance seems to have greatly strengthened the hands of the govern ment, and put it in a position to make an effective fight against the anarchists. It is believed this act, which has sent chills chasing up and down the spine of every monarch of Europe, will result in joint action by France, England, Spain, Italy and Austria for the extradition and severe punishment of all proved to have engaged in anarchistic conspiracies. It is also expected measures will bp in troduced in the chamber of deputies for the punishment of those who advocate or defend crime in newspapers, or punishing with severity tlie unlawful posteesion of explos'rves. Vaillant still defiantly professes to glory in his act, and declares he has no accomplices, hut this the police do not believe, and are at work on clues look ing to the arrest of others in connection with the affair. It is believed Vaillant will be speedily tried and executed. It appears that Marchal, the name which he first gave, is the name of his mistress, whom he enticed away from her hus band, having deserted bis wife in America and come to France lust Janu ary. He went to board at Marchal's house. Madam Marchal has told the police the story of how he succeeded in separating her from her husband, and made her work from morning till night to support him, and he ubuted her terribly when she no longer had money to give. The Carllu Party Denounced. Spokane, Wa-h., Dec. 9. The people oi Post rails, Idaho, have held an indig nation meeting and passed the following resolutions: Jletohfd, That we hold William E. Carlin and A. L. Himmelwright respon sible for the management of the Carlin party; that we express our thanks to them for the care and patience shown toward George Colgate according to their published accouuts up to the hour w hen he was left behind ; that we deplore the long delay on the river bank, which tlie construction of rafts does not explain, whereby time and food wero wasted, tKat should have been used for the rake of the sick companion in prompt and careful retreat; that e condemn the abandonment of George Colgate, while confessedly within a few hours of his death, and leaving him on his feet staggering in the snow, without shelter or lire and without the presence of a loyal comrade to close bin eyes and note the location of his body, as an act of hideous barbarity ; that in the light of their own published statement and such other informal ion as we can obtain, we denounce William E. Carlin and A. L. H. Himmelwright as unfit to axsociate with sportsmen, wanting the elements of manhood, and in their treatment of George Colgate's widow wholly void of the cousiderate spirit and generosity of gentlemen.

War between Ecuador and Peru over a boundary dispute is now absolutely certain. The trial of Prendergast has begun in Chicago and the work of securing a jury is in progress. Voting for the bankruptcy bill re sulted in, for the bill, rep. 18,'dem. 115, pop. 9; against, rep. 64, dem. 47, pop. 1; or 142 to 111. There are 100,000 persons in Chicago who are in need of assistance, and a charity fund of $1,000,000 Is being raised for the relief of the most needy. The Montana National bank of Helena which closed last July, re-opened yester day with $500,000 capital and cash to three times tlie amount of its demand liabilities. This is the bank founded by the late Colonel Broadwater. The Lehigh strike is still on, and from present indications bids fair to be general all along the line. The reduc tion of wages is the cause. The strike this far hg cost from $2,000,000 to $1, 000,000. The Brotherhood admits $500, 000. Liliuokalani submits a proposition to condone tlie wrong which the United States, by its executive, admits to have been done, and to relinquish all her titular rights, as well ss whatever claim she may have upon the valuable crown lands, for the lump sum of $500,000. The uncertainty as to what the new duty on sugar will be in the United States and the active measures taken to flood the market' with beet root sugar from Europe is causing quite u panic among the planters of Cuba, the market being quite paralyzed. The outlook for the planters is very discoumging. The new tariff bill will not come up in the house before next Monday, if it does then. The majority report will be filed on Wednesday. The Utah admission bill was probably before the house to day. It is not expected that the Ha waiian question will be brought tip for consideration before the last of the week. In the senate, the matter will take action immediately on receipt of the president's special message. A large number of democrats will defend Cleve land's policy. Senators Hoar and Gray had an ani mated war of words in the senate yester day as to Cleveland e Hawaiian policy. In the courso of his speech Hoar said, that when it was known the president's message had been published in London in the morning papers in advance of its delivery to congress, it was supposed to be one of those accidents for which no body was especially responsible, but no such explanation could be made in this case. Hoar said he desired the Hawaiian question separated from all questions in regard to which the parties were divided. The Hawaian Gazette of Nov. 24th said: "In the meantime the monarchy is not restored, and will not bo nolens by the armed forces of the United States, whose forces must then continue to support the ex -queen. There m:iy be small differences in the ranks of tlie party of reform, but we are today more united and determined on the main is sue than ever before. Let every reformer put aside all other and minor thing, for as surely as there is an Eternal Justice overruling the affairs of men, so surely will the gross outrage proposed to bo done to Hawaii fail of its purpose.'' Mr. Cleveland Will 1'leane Annwer. Dknvkb, Dec. 11.
