Totten, the eminent scientist of New Haven, Conn., com men ting on the statement that the planets would be in the eame relative position they were at the time of the crucifixion of Christ, on Good Friday (yesterday), presents the following: The current lunar year is one of the most important ones upon the circle, from both scientific and popular stand points. Its true first of Tishri seems to have fallen upon August 30, 1894. The moon that was then new went full into an eclipse on September 15, 1894. The first contact of this latter eclipse took place just were Moses crossed the Red Sea, 3,389 years before. The day follow ing the Hebrews, whose modern calen dar, like that of the current Christian one. is displaced by one year, one month, and one day from its correct place, be ing their present civil year on October 1 " 1894, right out of this eclipee, that being the origin of their New Year's day of 6654 A. M. On the succeeding November 10th occurred the last transit of Mercury that this century shall see. By reversing this transit according to its own cycles, we can establish the astronomical accu racy of the literal week referred to in the first chapter of Genesis. We mean this, whether it be regarded as a week of cycles, or as a literal fact of seven normal days. The present moon is that of true Nisan, and was lately (March 10th) eclipsed upon its fourteenth or fifteenth day. It will, in turn, eclipse the ' sun upon the very middle of the Atlantic ocean. Now, this eclipse, which marks the middle of the current Nisan, is just 177 days (half of 364; from the Red Sea eclipse, with which its month of Tishri ended. Holding to Jheir constant displacement, of a month within the years, the modern Hebrews .commence their Nisan on the next day, March 26th, and the modern church .calendar, also adhering approximately -to the same moon and displacement for the determination of their so-called "Easter," will place the latter upon April 14th by virtue of the arbitrary Nii-eiie rule. . In the meantime the most important anniversary known to chronology slips liv us, not, indeed, uncelebrated, for a erv minor fact has brought it into local prominence, but entirely unkept and uii honored among all men for that which shall make it forever unique throughout the ages. I refer to the 17th of March, now celebrated as St. Pat rirk's day. The grander fact, so entirely lost sight of, so eclipsed by the minor one, which has usurped ita place, is that the crucifixion of Jesus Christ really took place upon the Thursday, March 17th, 29 A. O., which was the 14 of Nisan in that particular year. Mow strange a commentary is this upon the accuracy of human necrology, that the death of a minor saint, and one wiioHf date is by no means certain, crionld be assigned to March 17th, while iit- ho actually died thereon, and to hoii! we owe all of real Christianity, imc, l.y virtue of the arbitrarily shifting NNiui rule of Good Friday, no actual il.ae hi all upon his epitaph. Tet it is i. i ktf ping with the story of one who in lii- i-arthly life was without place li n un to lay his head, and after all is ih.i licad, but alive again. Si i today is the solar anniversary of ii . crucifixion, which occurred exactly 1866 .lulian years ago. This is a denion- h i lie i fact, which has been fully estab Kh. ii by Wm. M. Page in his New Ltri t From the Old Eclipses;" by H i .. '. n Guiness, in his "Approaching f of the Age," and by perhaps a of other able scholars, whose rep- i us are fully established and whose i as a co-dieciple I have merely ' ' i 1 and verified. to the actual chronology and nec- ' .i of the Savior's life, I am satisfied i he evidence that he was conceived il.e spring equinox of 749 A.

D., in the 66th year of Tiburius Caesar, in the consolate of the two Longini (as testified Epiphanius). This was in the first year of the CCII Olympiad, or the 781st year of Rome, according to Varro. That be arose on the third day thereafter on Sunday, March 20, 29 A. D, and into the vernal equinox, just thirty-two years after his annunciation by Gabriel to Mary. C. B. L. Totten COUNTY INDEBTEDNESS. Recently Joseph Simon brought suit against County Judge Nortbrup of Mult nomah county to compel the county to take charge of the free bridges across the Willamette, and also those acquired by the bridge commission. The suit was brought before Judge Hurley, of tbe circuit court, who yesterday rendered decision, the matter being on ademurrer. We giv6 the closing part of the judge's opinion, sustaining tne demurrer, tne opinion being based on the constitutional provisions concerning county indebted' nesi, wnicn is nxefl therein at tne limn of $5,000. Judge Hurley, on this branch of the subject, says : The next and last question to be con sidered is as to tbe power of tbe legisla ture to create a debt of tbe county ex ceeding $5,000. This act creates a debt against the county, or rather obligates the county for the entire bonded debt and interest, and requires the current expenses of operation, repairs and renewals of these bridges and ferries to be borne by the county without its consent. Aside from the statue being local and special, I am of the opinion that it is clearly in viola tion of section 10, article 11, constitu tion. It seems to me that this constitu tional limitation is a restriction upon the power of the legislature, as well as the power of the county, and this is so especially where the liability had al ready existed prior to this act, and where it is not created or to be created by operation of general laws. In the case of Buchanan vs. Litch field, 102 TJ. S., 2:7, Harlan J., says: No legislation could could confer upon municipal corporation authority to contract indebtedness, which the const! tntion expressly declared it ought not to be allowed to incur.' "Nor do I think there is anything in' consistent in this view with the decl sions of the supreme court of this stata The case of Grant county against Lake county, 17, Oregon, 453, was decided April 15, 1889, and first construed this section. It is there said, 'Debts and liabilities and liabilities arising out of such matters (salaries of officers, ex penses of holding courts, etc.), whatever sum they may amount to, cannot in rea son be said to have been created in vio lation of he provision of the constitu tion referred to, as they are really created by the general laws of the state in the administration of its government al affairs.' "This decision, even to that extent, is in conflict with the People vs. May 9 Colo., 404, supra, construing a similar and almost equivalent constitutional provision. It is also distinctly in con flict with the decision of the supreme court of the United States in the case of Lake county vs. Rollins, 130 U. S., 662, construing this same provision of the Colorado constitution, decided May 13, 1889, a short time after the decision an nounced in 17 Oregon. Brewer, J., then on tbe circuit, had decided in 34 Fed. Rep., 845, holding that this provision of the Colorado constitution only applied to voluntary indebtedness, and not to compulsory obligations cast upon the county by operation of general laws. In this view he was not sustained by the supreme court of the United States in the decision of 130 U. 8., 662, announced without dissent. "In Wormingbam against Pierce, 22 Oregon, 610, the opinion of the court quotes with approval the case of the People against Wall, 88 111, 75, and the People against May, 9 Colo., 91, and mentions the exception that is made as to certein debts, in 17 Oregon, 453, clas sifying them as such that would arise by operation of law in the ordinary course of business in the connty, and therefore do not include extraordinary cases like this. "In Burnett vs. Markly, 23 Oregon, 439, there is nothing inconsistent with tbe view which we maintain that these debts thrust upon the county by opera tion of law are such only as arise under general laws, and relate only to such debts aB may be created by operation of law after the passage of the act, and not debts which the act itself creates. "Tbe demurrer must be sustained and the petition dismissed." MR. CLEVELAND'S OPINION. t Nicaragua Replies. Washington, April 15. It is reliably President Cleveland has concluded not stated that Nicaragua bas replied to to visit Chicago. It is too far west for Great Britain's ultimatum. It is iu the him. Instead he has written, a long nature of a counter .proposal, and not a letter, of which we print the concluding direct acceptance or rejection of British sentences. Cleveland is a mono-metal- demands, and as such it is n"t vet known ,ist of the most rabid kind, and his recent whether Great Britain will accept it as a utterances go to snow mat ne is posing response to the ultimatum which made for the nomination for the presidency on the gold-bug ticket : "In our relations to this qtfestion we are all in business, for we buy and sell ; so we all have to do with financial o Deration s. for we all earn money and spend it. We cannot escape our inter dependence. Merchants and dealers are in each neighborhood, and each has its shops and manufactories. - Wherever the wants of man exist, business and finance three demands: . First Money indemnity of 15,500 sterling for alleged personal injuries to British subjects, including the British consul, Hatch Second The revocation cf the declara tion of banishment against British sub jects. - Third The formation of a commission to decide by arbitration the damages done to property of British subjects ex in some degree are found, related in one polled from Nicaragua. ' The ultimatum direction to those whose wants they supply, and in another to the more ex- I tensive business and finance to which they are tributaries. A fluctuation in price at the seaboard is known the same day or hour in the remotest hamlet. The discredit or depreciation in financial contained no limit of time, but in a sub sequent note, Earl Kimberly etated an answer to the ultimatum would be ex pected within seven weeks from Febru ary 26. I he seven weeks are up to morrow. Nicaragua's answer is in two parts, or business centersof any form of money The reply to the second demand is that in the hands of the people is a signal of Nicaragua, even before receiving the immediate loss everywhere. If reckless British communication, had revoked the discontent and wild experiments should decrees of banishment. To the first and sweep our currency from its safe support third demands the answer is that in the most defeieeless of all who suffer in order to preserve friendly relations with the time of distress and national dls- ner majesty's government and with the credit would be the poor as they reckon purpose of fairness and justice.

I will not believe that if our people are afforded an intelligent oppor tunny for sober second thought they will sanction schemes that, however cloaked, mean disaster and confusion ; nor that they will consent, by under- mates and the whole question of the amount should be left to arbitration. Great Britain's answer to the counter proposition is awaited with interest, but Nicaragua's reply is so pacific in char acter that it is believed the subject has mining the foundations of a safe cur- ceased to have a warlike aspect, and that rency to endanger the beneficent charac- diplomacy will adjust the remaining de ter and purposes of their government." tails.

The St. Pe tersburg Nova Vremya s utterances to the effect that Russia, will oppose by land and sea Japan's demand, if England concedes them, are regarded here as bluff, well understood and satisfactory to Japan. It is stated that it is known that if Russia interferes tbe other powers will bold aloof, and Russia wants to con' vey the impression that she is about The railroad companies are not inter ested in developing the manufacturing industries of Oregon ; on the contrary it is directly against their interests to have factories started here. What they want is something to transport, and if they can haul our raw material to the East and manufactured products back, it is just what they want. Agricultural im plements and harvesting machinery that we could easily manufacture here form quite an item in the railroads' in comes', since they are hauled clear across the continent. These same ma chines, too, cost more in Oregon than they do in Australia, just on account of the railroad tariff on them. Oregon will never prosper as she should until sue manufactures tbe larger portion of such things as she needs, and has the mate' rial to make them of. We have plenty of hardwood and plenty of iron, and there is no reason why tbe making of agricultural implements and harvesting machinery should not be carried on here. JEmperor Abdicates. London, April 15. A dispatch irom Shanghai to the news agency here says that a proclamation, bearing the em per or's name, bas been issued describing the empire as at an end, and asserting that he would be unable to govern any longer, and that the officials he trusted are corrupt. ' It is added that the proclamation has caused great excitement and there are signs of a rebellion. The document! however, is said to be the work of secret societies. "Perhaps you would not think so, but a very large proportion of the diseases in New York comes from carlessnes about catching cold,"say8 Dr. Cyrus Ed son. "It is such a simple thing and so common that very few people, unless it is a case of pneumonia, pay any atten ton to the cold. New York is one of the healthiest places on the Atlantic Coast and yet there are a great many cases of catarrh and consumption which have their origin in this neglect of the simplest precaution of every day fife. The most sensible advice is, when you have one get rid of it as soon as possible. By all means do not neglect it." Dr. Ed- son does not tell you how to cure a cold but we will. It will relieve the lungs, aid expectoration, open the secretions and soon effect a permanent cure. 50 cent bottles for sale by Blakely & Hough ton, druggists. Conclusion of Peace Expected.

The United States supreme court needs some new material, and it needs it badly. . Justice Jackson is so infirm and sick that he is unable to perform any of the duties of the office, except to draw his pay. Field, always an aristo crat, is about in the same condition, only it is his mind that is diseased, and he is more of a nuisance to the court and the people than any other member of tbe court conld be, because he has an unsound mind in a sound body. In the recent income tax cases the old gentle man showed bis childishness by ignor ing the points in issue, and vented his spleen in a tirade against the law, not because ot its injustice to tbe people, but because it compelled .him to pay two per cent tax on a portion of his salary. The United States supreme court is a very poor institution to use as a pension department, and either failing mental or bodily vigor should at once operate to the removal of the person so affected from the bench. to interfere to obtain such a result until tbe . peace negotiations are concluded Russia is favorable to the independence of Corea because thereby she can obtain an outlet to the sea for the Siberian railroad.

Wilhite, who were ar rested here on suspicion of being the Cripple Creek stagerobbers, have been turned loose, their claim of having just come from Oklahoma having been veri fied. American politics show some queer paradoxes. For instance, the United States senate is popularly supposed to represent the great corporations, and the capitalists. The lower house, it is boasted, is fresh from the people, elected by ' them, and therefore moves in touch with them. Now it is asserted that the capitalist and the corporations are for a gold standard, while tbe mass of the people demand the free coinage of Bilver. The fact is that the senate is in favor of free coinage of silver, while the house is against it. ' : Or. Miles' Pain Pills cure Neuralgia. San Francisco has had a genuiue hor ror in the murder of Minnie Williams and Blanche Lamont in the Emanuel Baptist church.' Tbe dispatches yester day told of the finding of the body of the former -in the library of the building. The dead girl's clothing had beeu torn, and it-was evident she was outraged and then murdered. Today the horrible affair is supplemented with the story of the finding of the body of her friend, Blanch Lamont, in the tower of the same church ' yesterday. The latter when found was entirely naked. She had been missing since April 3rd, at which time she was probably murdered. Tbe last person seen in her' company was W. H. T.
