Portland, Or., Sept. 6. Judge Bell
inger passed sentence today upon James
Lotan and Seid Back for their complic
ity in the smuggling conspiracy. . Lotan
was sentenced to pay a fine of $8000 and
Seid Back a fine of 15000. There was no
imprisonment imposed in either case.
A week ago when the case was called,
sentence was postponed in order to allow
Judge Darand to examine the bill of ex
ceptions, on which the proposed appeal
to the supreme conrt was grounded. A
' copy of the bill of exceptions was for
warded to Judge Durand.at Flint, Mich.,
but no word has been received from
him. It was thought therefore that
there would be another postponement.
Washington, Sept. 6. Surgeon-Gen
eral Wyman, of the marine hospital ser
vice savs thete is no foundation for the
story of a threatened invaeioi. of San
Francisco by cholera.
"Just as soon as an intimation was
conveyed that there was suspicions cases
aboard the Belgic," said General Wy
man. "I telegraphed the sanitary in
spector at San Francisco, for informs'
tion. He stated there was absolute)
no truth in the report that passengers
had died of cholera, or of any other in
fection aboard the steamer. The only
report from San Francisco that I know
anvthinc abont is of a reassuring and
not of an alarming character. There
no epidemic of cholera threatened at
San Francisco or at any other port in
the United States.

ness the Race at Sandy Hook, i
Saturday.
New Yobk, Sept. 7. The Defender
won her name in a truly American
fashion today, finishing far ahead of the
English challenger, Valkyrie, and giving
every evidence of outclassing Dunroven'a
boat in almost any kind of weather.
- There were strange features connected
with the race, not the least being gener
al doubt expressed during the first fifteen
miles of the course as to which was in
the lead. It was nip and tuck from the
first gun signal and until within a short
distance of the mark, and the Defender
caught a breeze to the delight ot thous
ands and simply sailed away from her
rival.. ,
From that moment she went on in
creasing her lead to the end, winning by
the surprising margin of 8 minutes and
49 seconds.
The manner in which the Defender
outfloated the Valkyiie made even old
yachtmen stare, for it was a remarkable
performance for a boat after sailing al
most even with another for many niiles
to come out at the end with a lead of al
most a half-mile gained in the last two.
The first surprise of the day was in
the position that the Defender showed
on crossing the line. Very strange to
say, she was a little bit to the windward
of the English boat, "behind, it ia. true,
by four seconds,' but still windward.
There bad been so much said about the
superior skippership of Captain Syca
more that it was feared by thousands of
Americans wno witnessed the scene,
that the Defender would not only be
behind at the start, but that she would
be eo thoroughly blanketed that she
would never have, a show m the whale
race, iiut while the Englishman did
get over the line first by about half
length, the Yankee was on top of him
instead of being below or underneath
his wind. Both yachts were handled in
most admirable manner, and it cannot
be said the sails on the Briton eet
whit better than those of the American
boat. In fact, no flaw could be seen in
any bit of cloth on either boat.
Tbe only thing to, mar the day's
pleasure was the action ot excursion
boats, notably the Richard Peck and the
City of Lowell, on going too close to wind
ward of the racing yachts.

Iu Reply to Veritas."
To the Editor : In an article which
appeared in last Saturday's Chronicle,
entitled "Concerning All of Us," Eigned
by "Veritas," there are some valuable
hints and suggestions which might be
followed profitably by "all of us." But
there are one or two things in the article
referred to, upon which "Veritas" has
undoubtedly been misinformed. It is not
true that the project of getting up and
publishing an illustrated pamphlet, illus
trating and setting forth the advantages
of this immediate vicinity over" other
parts of the country, has fallen through.
On the contrary tbe money has all been
subscribed and we are only awaiting the
completion of some eight cuts, showing
the wool, fish, wheat, fruit and other in
dustries of The Dalles, to place the
pamphlet in the hands of tbe printers,

As to- the criticism indulged in by

proper subject for newspaper discussion.
But since " Veritas" has Been fit. to lake
it np and present his (or ber) views in
such light as to mislead and prejudice
the minds of intending Bettlers against
the exchange, we feel called upon to say
a word in regard to it. 1
The aims and objects of The Dalles
Real Estate Exchange are Bimply these:
To provide means by subscription or
otherwise, with which to advertise in
the most effective .way possible' consist
ent with good judgment and economy,
our resources and advantages ; to induce
immigration and the , investment of
capital ; to promote the sale of property
by mutual co-operation and assistance ;
to provide a reasonable and uniform rate
of commission and to prevent discord
and friction between agents. - To illus
trate: Every agent has his own circle of
friends and clients; it is expected that
his friends will list any property they
may want to sell with him ; these lists
are open to the inspection of every other
member of the Exchange, so that when
ever a purchaser wants a particnlar
piece of property, no matter who he ap
plies to, he will be' correctly informed
where it can be had if at all, and if no
one hasvjiist what is wanted, all will
endeavor to find something that will suit
in place of it, instead of each one trying
to sell something. He mav have that the
others have not and discouraging the in'
tending purchaser from buying from any

aged and disgusted and "moves on
The criticism on divirion of profits is
entirely irrelevant and not worthy of
mention here, It is alike immaterial to
the buyer, seller and the public whatbe
comes of the commissions.
