and another relative, Mrs. Captain Fuller
were with her constantly last night,
It is the present intention of the family

.The body has been embalmed and laid
out in the sleeping-room, where death
occurred. A. metallic coffin is to be cov
ered with black cloth, with heavy oxy-
diaed Bilver handles and the usual plate
for the name and circumstance of birth

orary pallbearers. Bishop Hurst, of the
M. . church, will conduct the funeral
'set vices at, the white house. All troops
and marines in the city will escort the

called at the Arlington at 11 o'clock to
see members of Secretary Gresham's
family and tender their sympathy.
They drove over from ' the White House
in an open carriage, with no attendants
bat the driver on the box. Attorney
General Olney and Secretaries Lamont
and Herbert arrived at about the same
time to confer about arrangements for
the funeral. The president and Mrs.
Cleveland were in the Gresham apart
ments for half an hour.
All members of the cabinet in the
city, Secretary Carlisle being absent,
called at the Arlington early in the day
and most of the ladies of the cabinet
circle also were admitted to the parlor
adjoining the family apartments of the
late secretary. Secretary and Mrs. La-
aaont were at the hotel a long time.
Most of the prominent men of public
life called at the hotel early in the day,
leaving cards. A flood of telegrams and
cablegrams continued to pour in during
the morning.
Prosperity of tbo Tobaoco-Growlnt; In
dustry. San Francisco, May 28. The tobacco-growing
industry in this state is
about to undergo a wave of prosperity,
according to J. D. Culp, a prominent tobacco-grower
ot San Felipe, Santa Clara
valley. He claims that California is
bound to become one of the best tobacco
producing states in the Union. Recent
ly he bought the matter to the attention
ot the committee on new industries of
the Manufacturers' Producers' Associa
tion. Messrs. Esberg, Plagman, Lewis
and Sultan have been appointed a com
mittee to interview local manufacturers
and ascertain what can be done to de
velop the industry. Mr. Culp says he is
alreadv making big shipments of leaf
tobacco to Eastern, manufacturers,
Some time ago an English syndicate
offered him $300,000 for his plant and
his method of curing the leaf.
In speaking of his experience in rais
ing tobacco on California land Mr. Culp
said :
"While I consider that it would be folly
to attempt to raise cigar tobacco on
some of the land of this state, I am con
vinced that California can become first
among the tobacco-producing states. A
conservative estimate as to the amount
of tobacco grown in this state per acre is
1000 pounds : a reasonable price for it is
25 cents per pound, and a liberal allow
ance for handling, growing and shipping
would be $100 per acre, leaving a balance
in favor of the grower of (150 per acre."
In Favor of the Gold Standard.
New Yobk, May 28. A London cable
gram to the Evening fost says; Mr
William Vernon Harcourt, chancellor of
the exchequer, has forwarded by influ
ential bankers and financiers,' in terms
emphasizing bis previous strong remarks
in favor of the gold standard. His re
ply concludes thu3 : "You may rely
upon it her majesty's government will
give no countenance to any change in
the' system, nor to any discussion . in
which they may be called upon to take
part, will they admit any doubt as to
their intentions firmly to adhere to the
single standard."

Whether the remainder of the passengers

GRESHAM'S SCCCBSaOK.
Fabllo Opinion Points to Ex-Secretary
i Whitney.
Kw Yokx, May 28. A Morning
' Jenrnal special from Washington says :
- Naturally there is much speculation
as to the successor of Secretary Greebam
in the state department. The index
Anger of every pnblic man in Washing
ton points to ex-Secretary of the Navy
William C. Whitney, Just how far the
possibility of his selection by the presi
dent at this juncture can be traced is
not determined, but in the conversation
f public men in Washington at the
present time the belief is expressed that
that there is no man sufficiently promin
ent in public affairs whose nomination
would be so thoroughly in accord with
public opinion, both outside and inside
of the approving power of the senate,
as that of ex-Secretary Whitney.
It is a singular fact that npon the lips
of almost every one asked here in Wash
ington for their opinion as to who might
properly be Secretary Gresham's succes
sor, the reply is "Whitney.', or "ex-Secretary
Whitney," or "ex-Secretary of
the Navy Whitney." Mr.- Whitney is a
Yta college graduate. He has been
Earing , in his lines of social obser
vances, and left Washington with a
kindly glow of general benevolence, good
will and a remembrance of superb
Americanism behind him. He is look
ed upon from this center today as the
most desirable successor to Mr. Gresham.
Later Ad vies.
Sax Fbaxcisco, May 29. The Pacific
Mail company has received advices stat
ing that the steamer San Juan picked np
boat containing 21 people and landed
them at Manzanillo. The San Juan
after landing the survivors pnt back in
search of any other boats containing pas
sengers who might be drifting about.
Officials of the company cannot explain
the disaster in the absence of details.
The company's theory is that an earth
quake threw up a reef and that the
Colima ran against it. The office of the
Mail Company was crowded this morn-
3g with anxious inquirers seeking news
the disaster and trying to learn the
names of the survivors.'
The Merchants' Exchange has the fol
lowing message from Manzanillo : "The
steamer Colima is a total wreck. One
hundred and sixty of her passengers and
crew were drowned and 21 were saved.
Much bnllion is lost. . . -. . .

Eight Men in the Water.
Astobia, May 30. Late last evening a
fishing boat was struck by a squall in
the river opposite Booth's cannery and
capsized. The boat bad but a single oc
cupant, and he managed to keep above
water until assistance reached him from
the shore. After the rescuing partv had
started for the scene of the accident, a
number of men rnshed toward the net
racks, and a plank roadway leading from
the street-car track to the cannery prop
erty collapsed.. Eight men were precip
lated into the water, which was about
five feet in depth. All escaped without
injury of any consequence.

Wheat Opening.
Chicago, May 28.' Wheat had a wild
bull opening today, and within five min
utes from the tap of the bell was selling
2 cents higher than the price at which
it closed yesterday. Inside "f another
five minutes it bad lost ljc of the gain.
The news was all of a bullish character.
Yesterday's low barometer in the North
west had resulted only-in a light shower
here and there, and the cold wave was
being followed by what promised to be a
scorching 'hot one. Perhaps the most
bullish piece of news, however, was the
report of King & Company, of Toledo,
who summarized the advices of over
4000 correspondents in the wheal belt.by
saying indications were that in six of the
principal wheat producing states not
more than half an average crop would
be raised.
Two Lives Saved.
Mrs. Phoebe Thomas,of Junction City,
111., was told by her doctors she had con
sumption and that there was no hope
for her, but two bottles Dr. King's New
Discovery completely cured her and she
says it saved her life. Mr. Thos. Eg-
gers, 139 Florida St. San Francisco, suf
fered from a dreadful cold, approaching
Consum ption, tried without result every
thing else, then bought one bottle of Dr.
King's New Discovery and in two weeks
was cured. He is naturally thankful.
It is such results, of which these are
samples, that prove the wonderful effi
cacy of this medicine in coughs and
colds. Free trial bottles at the Snipes

Death of a Pioneer.
Woodburn, May 30. Charles Prevost,
an old and respected pioneer, died at his
son's house tonight. He was 86 years
old, and came to Oregon in 1852 as a
missionary. He crossed the plains with
Father F. X. Blancbet, now priest at
Gervais, Or. With the exception of the
last few years, he has always lived at
St. Paul, Or., being one of the first
settlers On French Prairie. For the last
few month he had been failing, and not
been able to leave his bed.
the freezing temperature 28 degrees,
occurred on the 22d, which caused a kill
ing frost in Baker, Grant, Crook, Har
ney, Klamath, Lake and Malheur count
ies. Ulouds have prevailed during the
past week and the result has been a de
ficiency in the amount of sunshina. The
mountains of Morrow and Grant counties
were covered with newly-fallen snow the
morning of the 21st.
Chops : The rainfall has been of the
greatest benefit to the grain crop, and
insures bounteous crops, barring possible
hot winds in June. The wheat crop of a
large portion of several of the counties is
either spring sown or volunteer; both
require the best of climatic condition
to produce good yields ; the year of 1894
bad a large acreage of summer-fal
lowed gram and plowing is now in pro
gress for summer-fallow this year again,
hence the more than ordinary anxiety
for the success of the grain crops this
year and the need of rainfall. Some cor'
respondents of Morrow county have re-
ported poor wheat prospects, but now
since the rain, toe prospects have im
proved. In Sherman, which is almost
all a wheat county, wheat has an ex
cellent outlook, and all are encouraged.
ine grain crop is 01 more than average
condition in vVasco county, while in
Umatilla county the present prospects
were never better; the same in the
(jrana iionde valley, -rail grain is
heading, and spring and volunteer grain
are growing finely. At the present time
conditions are all that could be expected.
Ihe correspondent at Jttood Kiver re
ports : "Hood River ia now harvesting
the biggest and best strawberry crop in
her history; the bulk of shipments
went to Montana during the past week."
New potatoes of local growth made
their appearance at The Dalles on the
24th inst. The frost of the 22d inst., did
some damage to fruit south of the Blue
mountains. The correspondent at Day'
ville, reports that "beans, melons, to'
matoes and potatoes froze, and - even
leaves on two young cherry trees were
shriveled by the frost ; There was a thick
coating of ice." Crickets are reported
as being very plentiful in Malheur and
Harney counties, where they have
damaged vegetation. Sheep shearing
continues and heavy fleeces are secured.
The present outlook is exceedingly
favorable to a most prosperous crop year.

A Fatal Accident at Antelope.
Antelope,. May 26, 1895.
To the Editor: About three miles
from Antelope, on the Dickerson place, a
young man named S. B. White met with
a serious accident that terminated
fatally. It seems that he was in a corral
saddling a young horse, having hitched
the team he was driving to a fence. The
colt backed against the fence and scared
the team, which started to run. White
took after them and caught them by the
bit, but, stumbling, fell beneath the
horses and was trampled npon. Several
parties saw the accident and immedi
ately went to his rescue. The doctor
was sent for, but shortly after he arrived
white died. The body was brought to
town and an inquest held. Sunday the
remains were laid to rest in the city cem
etery. Mr. White was a young man, aged
about 20, and was industrious, honora
ble and upright. As far as can be
learned he was from Corvallisand has no
relations in this country. .
