VOL. VI. THE DALLES, WASCO COUNTY, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1896. NUMBER 50. TOM REED THE MAN Most Likely to Be Secretary of State. AX EXTRA SESSION PROBABLE Kentucky Still In Doubt and an Official Vote Will Only Decide South Dakota. Washington. Nov. 6. Slatemakers are at work here already framing a cab inet for President-elect McKmley, and the names mentioned range from Speak er Heed for eecretary of state, down to John C. Cowan, of Nebraska, for attorney-general. It has been suggested tbat Mr. McKinley might follow precedent, and tender the portfolio of the state de partment to Reed, inasmuch as the latter was the nearest competitor for the nom ination at St. Louis. On the other hand it is believed a re-election to the speaker ship of the 55th congress would be more acceptable to Reed. Next in line, according to the cabinet- fixers, stands Ilenrv Cabot Lodge, who would make nu ideal secretary of state Such an appointment would be popular in the East, and New England in par ticuiar, owing to the vigorous American' ism of the present associate of Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts. Three other names are also mentioned in connection . 'With the department of state Senator Allison of Iowa, Davis of Minnesota, and Sherman of Ohio, having supporters for this position at the head of the diplo matic branch of the government. Sen ator Sherman is also named in connec tion with the treasury. senator f roctor, ot Vermont, s men tioned for a return to the . war depart ment, where he was secretary under President Harrison, but in the same connection the name of General Alger, of Michigan, is also suggested. ' Representative--Hendereeavof Iewa,, and ex-Senator Manderson, of Nebraska, have also come to the front as among the possibilities for secretary of war. Representative Bontelle is being urged as the secretary of the navy, and bis friends say Mr. McKinley could not find a man for the place better posted than the Maine congressman. In makiDg up the cabinet the West is not being disregarded, and a very popu lar name for postmaster-general is tbat of Representative Babcock, of Wiscon sin, chairman of the Republican con gressional campaign committee. There is some talk of Hanna for this portfolio, as well us H. Clay Evans, of Tennessee, who was defeated in his vice-presidential aspirations by Mr. Hobart. Ex-Governor W. R. Merriam, of Min nesota, and ex-Congressman La Follette, of Wisconsin, are well thought of for the interior department. It is frequently nrged that a graceful act of courtesy would be to tender the post of secretary of state to ex-President Harrison, but it is considered doubtfn! whether he would accept. C. W. Fairbanks, ti Indiana who would like to succeed Senator "Voorhees, is also named as a cabinet minister em bryo. For attorney-genera' the names of Judges McKenna and McComas, of Cali fornia and Maryland, respectively, are i most frequently heard, and Captain J. C. Cowan, of Omaha, is considered among those entitled to be heard on this subject. . iNew xork would like to nave tbe sec retaryship of the treasury, and Cornelius N. Bliss and T. C. Piatt are favored for that position. senator yuay, oi Pennsylvania, is mentioned in connection with the navy department. It is believed that Secretary Morton will be succeeded by it western man, and , Governor - Morrill, of Kansas, is mentioned for the place in the agricul tural department. An Bxtra Session of Congress. Washington, Nov. 6. An extra ses sion following immediately the inaugu ration of Mr. McKinley is, in the pre vailing opinion, certain. No one pro fesses to have . word from Mr. McKinley direct on the subject, but there is good . authority for .saying that Mark Hanna, during a recent visit in New York, said enough to give the impression that an extra session is on the Republican prog- j gram. Senator Quay believes an extra session is certain. That was what he had in mind last Saturday when he said : "We shall have a new tariff bill within eight ' months after McKinley's inauguration." Senator Quay has the habit of speak ing by the card, and to get a new tariff bill passed by that time would require the calling of congress together as soon after March 4th next as possible. The Effect at Muscle. Muscie, Ind., Nov. 6. Ball Brothers1 glass factory company say they will build another mill at once employing 500 more bands. The Indiana Iron Company, which has worked about one-tenth capacity for a vear. is flooded with orders and will resume with 800 hands next Monday. The Midland Steel Company reports an immense influx of orders. The Muncie Iron Company put their men at work on double time yesterday Five other factories report more orders than in any one week for five months past. ': The window glass factories are idle be cause of a Btrike. A Tie in South Dakota. Yankton, S. D., Nov. 6. South Da kota's vote on presidential electors is tied, and an official count will be re quired to determine the result. Repub lican managers have closed their office, with the above declaration. Any claim of Populists that the state is for Bryan is not justified by the returns. Correc tions and changes in three precincts not yet heard from may give the electors to either Bryan or McKinley. The Repub lican congressmen ran ahead of the electors by several hundred votes, so far as heard from, and they may have safe majorities. Little Change tn California. San Francisco. Nov. 6. The Ban Francisco Chronicle will say : The majority for McKinley and Ho bart is reduced by the new returns, but the Republican state committee, with its private returns from almost every conn ty, insists upon holding tbe figures above 4000. There are, still 111 pre cincts missing in the tabled vote. These are outlying ones, where the "vote was small four years ago. They cannot great' ly change the present figures, which show the Republican ticket in the Jead by 4513. - ' - A Place for Farmer Allerton. . Lincoln, Neb.', Nov. 8. Livestock men of. Oman a, Kansas uity. ana tne West generally have inaugurated a cam paign to seen re for "Farmer" Samuel Allerton the position of secretary of agriculture in McKinley's cabinet. Har vey Ingersoll yesterday received a com munication from Secretary Baker, of the National Livestock Exchange, asking him to confer with members of tbe ex ecutive committee of tbe local exchange on that subject. For Commissioner of Pensions. Rockfobd, HI., Nov. 6. Friends of Colonel Thomas G. Lawler, ex-com mander-in-chief of the Grand Army of tbe Republic, will urge his name to President-elect McKinley for the ap pointment of commissioner of pensions when the proper time arrives. He is one oi tne most popular men in tne Grand Army organization, and while at its head visited every statein the Union. Rolling Mills Open. Toledo, O., Nov. 8. The Mammoth Roiling Mill Company will increase its force by 200 men tomorrow. The sheet iron mills have been closed for eeveral months, and would not have opened in the event of Bryan's election. The men are all high-priced skilled workmen. The Times-Star's Figures. Cincinnati, C. Nov. 6. The Times- Star has received returns from Leslie county, Ky., which gives a Republican plurality of 841, and, with complete re turns from all counties in Kentucky, an j nonnces tbat McKinley has a plurality ol two.

Lyons, N. Y., Nov. 8. The Manhat tan silver-plate factory, which has been running irregularly since January last, has commenced running nights on ac count of large orders conditioned on tbe election results. The New Haven silver-plate factory and A. H. Towar & Company's silver- plate factory have both started up on full time. There is even a scarcity of employes at present. The Fisher pottery, established in 1825, is now running full blast for the first time in many months. The result of all this is that tbe prod uce-handlers are now able to secure money with which to move the big ap ple crop, which is estimated at 720,000 barrels. There has been an increase in farm produce prices also and collections are said to be improving. Canton's Last Great Parade. Canton, O., Nov.. 7. Much bb Presi dent-elect McKinlev has desired to get his wife away from the excitement about his Canton home, it was decided this evening that it was best for Mrs. McKinley not to attempt the trip before Wednesday or Thursday of next week, instead of Monday, as expected. The scenes of congratulation and jollification have continued without cessation and today thousands of people marched through tbe streets and gathered about hours before tonight's big jollification begaji. At the breakfast table Major McKinley was signalled by farmers who have travelled miles to come to Canton and who tapped at the window and beckoned him to their greetings. He responded to their manifestations of good will by securing a jardinoire of chrysanthemums and going to the side door made them happy by giving them such floral beauties as are seldom seen anywhere. All day long tbe joyous throngs marched through the streets and filled the sidewalks. They came in spe cial trains and special cars, on regular trains and by carriage, on horseback, bicycle and afoot. Chief Marshal Harry Frease started tbe final great campaign parade tonight before 8 o'clock and Canton bad a pyro- technical blaze of glory such as she had never enjoyed before in tbe eventful days which have passed. Repub lican committees, Republican and Demo cratic sound money committees, citizens and reception escort committees and the citizens of Canton and Stark county, combined with the people from Eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, made one last grand paraede and demonstra tion. They marched and cheered over the lines of march that have been trod by nearly a million of people and are now historic in the annals of American politics. The echoes of the roar of can non and the din of cheering reverbrated over the city and for miles into the country. Major McKinley and a ecore of friends reviewed tbe parade as it passed his house. Owing to Mrs. Me Kinley's ill health it is expected that will end the jollification parades and the McKinlev yell, which for months has reigned supreme, will now take a rest in hope of gaining strength for tbe day of inaugural ceremony. A Near Colorado Kallroad. Victok, Col., Nov. 8. The Colorado Springs, Victor & Cripple Creek railroad, incorporated several weeks ago, has suc ceeded in placing its bonds, and work on the line will be pushed as rapidly as pos sible. The funds were awaiting the re sult of the election, and after the election was over, they were promptly taken np. The new road will be an electric line, 31 miles in length, and will cost $300,000. The bonds are 6 per cent semi-annual gold bonds, and they were floated in Boston. ' The directors expect to have trains running by the first of Julv, 1897. Tomorrow Mackey & Roes will begin the actual construction of the Victor fc Cripple Creek electric line. Coal Miners Going- Ont. Jadkson, O., Nov. 8. All the coal mines here are idle, tbe men going out today. President , Ratchford, of the Ohio miners, is here holding confer ences, and there was a mass meeting to day, bat no settlement has been reached. The miners are resisting the 45-cent rate, saying they can barely live in that region at the 61-cent rate. The men have been having less than half time for months and are suffering . now. The trouble is over the differentials of differ ent districts in the state, and it is feared that the controversy will cause a een eral strike ot many thousands ot miners in Ohio. McKinley's Election a Threat to Spain In Cuban Matters. Pa bis, Nov. 7. The Gaolois contains interviews with a nnmber of members of the chamber of deputies, and among others', M, Paul de Chanel, npon the re sults of Mr. McKinley's election as pres ident, in which he says : "It will benefit the English capital ists who have lent their gold to the United States and the French agricul turists, but French industries have to fear tbe protective - tariff. The great black spot in the new presidency is the Cuban question." M. de Lambre, the president of the budget committee of the chamber, ex pressed the view that be did not think it would prove that the McKinley tariff would greatly affect French trade. M. Francis echoed the opinion of M de Lambre. It is to be hoped that Spain will suppress the rebellion in Cuba be fore McKinley is installed. stands at the Head. Aug. J. Bogel, the leading druggist of Shreveport, La., says: "Dr. King's New Discovery is the only thing that cures my oough, and it is the best Beller I have." J. F.

I cannot say enough for its merits." Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds is not an experiment It has been tried for a quarter of a cen tury, and today stands at the head.

NINETEEN CUBAN WOMEN KILLED Banks Resnme Specie Payment Wheat Still Goes Up on Account of Deficiencies. Key West, Fia., Nov.. 9. Advices re ceived from Havana last night per steamer Olivette give details of an out rage on an American citizen and the butchery of nineteen non-combatant Cubans, including four women, by Span ish soldiers. The massacre occured last Thursday near the town of San Fran cisco de las Layas, Havana province. A detachment of Spanish soldiers sur prised six insurgents, who, however, made their escape, which angered the Spanish and they began, to raid the houses in the neighborhood, alleging tbat the inbabitabts were in sympathy with the rebels. They went to tbe sugar estate of Frederick L. Craycroft, who came here from Indiana about three years ago. Some of the soldiers entered the house, and two of them seized Mrs. Cravcroft and assaulted her. The hus band in desperation rushed to his wife's aid, but was struck down by a sword in the hands of an officer. Two terrible gashes were made in his back and bis right arm was nearly severed. The Spaniards looted the house, took $860 in cash and then raided other houses on the estate. They burned eight buildings and shot nineteen inmates, four of whom were women. Graycroft, when he had recovered suf ficiently, wrote to Vice-Consnl Springer at Havana. It is understood that the vice-consul cabled an account of the oat rage to Secretary 01 ney. The Spanish authorities in Havana are greatlv, disturbed , because, several thousand insurgents from Gomez' army have entered Matanzas province. So seriouB does Weyler consider the titoa tion that he has withdrawn 6,000 troops from Pinar del Rio and despatched them into Matanzas to stay tbe advance. During the siege and subsequent cap ture of Guayamara City by the insur gents, the Spaniards lost 260 killed and wounded. Three hundred and seventy Spaniards surrendered to Garcia, com manding the besieging force. Garcia sent word to General Castellanos that they would be exchanged for Cubans held by the Spaniards. Banks Feel the Stt'cct Couildence. of Restored New York, Nov. 9. The banks are contemplating tbe resumption of specie payments which they suspended in Feb ruary, 1892, by refusing to supply gold for export and for payment of govern ment dues. That action threw tbe bur den of supplying gold upon the treasury, and eventually forced the Issue of bonds by the government, which aroused bo much complaint. Since tbe election the metal has been coming into tbe blanks in such a flood that they see their way clear to what can be termed a re sumption of specie payments. By this action of the banks gold will be put into circulation, and no occasion whatever will exist for hoarding it. Tbey will also resume the task of supplying gold for export and thus relieve the treasury of a great Btrain. Merchants Will Convene. Chicago, Nov. 9. Large numbers of merchants throughout the Western and Southern states have signified their in tention of attending the meetings of the National Association of Merchants and Travelers in Chicago this week, and the event promises to be of national import ance. The merchants are eager - at this particular time to hear the views of Ly man J. Gage, who has announced bis in tention to speak on the banking situa tion. Scarcely less in importance to the subject to be handled by Mr. Gage is tbe address to be delivered by J. V. Farwell, jr., on the mercantile situation. Aa the 50,000 retail and wholesale mer chants comprising the association are located in the states where the money question was tbe paramount one in the recent campaign, the merchants are de sirous of hearing tbe financial views of one who is able to discuss it intelligently. The merchants who will comprise the largest attendance at this, tbe second meeting of the the association, are chief ly from the dry goods, clothing, boot and shoe, hardware and grocery branches. More than the usual amount of late season buying will be done by this week's visitors, if their letters to Secre tary Tomlinson are any indication. J Nearly all of them add the facts that tbey have been loaning on light stocks, and must therefore do same baying, to the olber reasons for their coming to the city at this time. The present officers of the association are: General chairman, A. C. Bartlett; vice-general chairman, J. V. Farwell; general treasurer, Adolph Nathan; gen eral secretary, C. S. Tomlinson. The Wheat Crop Deficiency. London, Nov. 9, The Mark Lane Ex press, in a long article on the crop, saya : "The deficiency in India is now known to be very serious, but it is not likely that any large wheat imports will occur. Although prices only range from 26s to 36s per quarter, tbe extreme poverty of the Indian populace renders anything over 30s almost prohibitive, and 15a to 25s is the usual range. ' Owing to tbe failure in India and Australia a defi ciency of 2,033,500 quarters has created in Great Britain, the usual supply of which must be made up from other sources, and is a change in the situation, which itself is suffcient to uphold eccen tricities. "The quanties of wheat on passage to the United Kingdom November 7 were 2,045,000 quarters, of which Russian wheat amounts to 400,000 quarters, North American 300,000, South Ameri can 100,000 Californian 1,220,000, and eleewbere 25,000." Wheat In London. London, Nov. 9. Business at the Bal tic in wheat opened steady and quieter. On Mark Lane wheat was firmly held at about Is 6d higher than on Friday. Business at the Baltic closed very quiet, but holders adhered to opening prices. . British Bark Zinta Goes Ashore Kear Gray's Harbor.' Aberdeen, Wssb., Nov. 9. The Brit ish bark Zinita of Greenock, an iron vessel of 1525 tons, went ashore on North beach this afternoon, about five miles north of the, entrance to Gray'e harbor, and close to where the bark Abercoro was wrecked a few years ago. The ves sel was forty days out from Nagasaki, . Japan, to Portland, dr., in ballast to load wheat, and first sighted land on Sunday morning about 9 o'clock, she being then about five miles off the coast, and - abreast of Quinault river. The heavy current tbat sets in along the coast, and a heavy, southwest gale, made it impossible for her to stand out to sea, and at 1 o'clock she was forced to let go both anchors. They failed to hold her, and she gradually drifted ashore, being in a similar position to the Glenmorag, wrecked north of the Columbia. The crew consisted of 27 men nnder command of James Fraser, and all are safe ashore. One sailor named McNamee received a scalp wound from being struck on the head by a stanchion, which broke loose aa the vessel rolled in the heavy breakers, he being the only one in the crew that was inj-ued. The veesel was first sighted by Mr. Damon, of Oye hut, who, noticing the signal of ditsress, dispatched his eldest boy to Hcquiam, 12 miles distant, for tugs, and telegrams were at once sent to Wesport to the tug Traveler, and to South Bend for tugs, and for the life-Baving crew, but before the tugs could arrive, the vessel was too far in shore to receive any help, and the crew was all ashore, having experienced no trouble in launching a boat on the lee side of the vessel and reaching tbe friend ly assistance of the hospitable people who dwell along that shore. McNamee, tbe injured sailor, was brought to the hospital at Iloqaim, Captain Fraser and tbe balance of tbe crew remaining at Oyehut to look after the vessel. Ihe captain Bays that he is confident that he cad save the veesel with but little if any damage, and the condition of the ship at this time would seem to warrant hia statement, as Bhe stood tbe heavy pound inus received In the breakers without any perceptible damage, not even spring ing a rivet, and she now stands at low tide boldly out, as though in her usual element, instead of in the golden Bands ot a strange coast.. - . November Record Broken. Chicago, Nov. 9. Wheat broke the record for November this' morning y selling at oOJc for December, 2 cents advance over Saturday's close. The, ad vance was not attended by great excite ment. Few open orders to take profit on long stuff at even figures brought only a temporary setback. Outside markets were particularly strong. Tbe visible . increase was only 1,243,000 buBhels. . The threatened crop damage in Argen tina,' doleful rumors of unsatisfactory fall seeding in Russia and France and large seaboard clearances were tbe chief factors which contributed to the success of the bulls. Corn, oats and provisions participated in the advance proportionately.
