.CO THE DALLES WEEKLY CHRONICLE, SATURDAY JANUARY 30. 1897. DISPUTED BY ALLEN The Power to Foreclose on . Railways Questioned. NEBRASKA SENATOR IS SEVERE The Interstate Commerce Committee Bear Argument on Bill to Stop the Practice of Tleket-Bcalplnf. Washington, Jan. 28. The senate today passed the bill extending the time for building the St. Paul & Manitoba railway through White Earth Indian reservation. Petitions urging the speedy ratific tion of the Anglo-American peace treaty were received. Allen of Nebraska asked immediate consideration for a resolution he offered directing the committee on Pacific rail roads to inquire into the powers of the president and attorney-general to con . ' duct foreclosure proceedings against the .Pacific railroads; also their powers to nter into agreements as to the sale prior to actual foreclosure, and direct' ing the attorney-general meantime to retrain from further action. Beading from the law Allen argued the first dutv of the president was to re deem the first liens, not to foreclose The president, he said, should be bound by law as much as the humblest citizen of the land. If this point was raised it was likely to defeat the foreclosure. Clark, Republican, of Wyoming inter rupted to express astonishment that Allen, claiming to be a friend of the people took the position that the United States should pay out of its treasury ever dollar of these prior liens before resorting to foreclosure. Allen responded that he could not be moved by bluster; the law was plain and the duty mandatory on the presl dent. A discussion proceeded as to the con' e tract ion of the law, Piatt of Connecti cut and Bacon of Georgia taking part. Piatt said he confessed some- doubt as to the right of the president to resort to foreclosure before redemption, but was inclined to believe the power existed. At another point Allen declared the president could not foreclose unless he declined to recognize the la, and in the language of "Boss" Tweed, asked : "What are you going to do about it?" It was time to stop this interference. The executive branch had taken from congress the Cuban and other foreign questions, and now there was an effort to' remove from congress all control of domestic affairs. The resolution finally wenl over in order to permit Thurston of Nebraska to address the Eenate on it tomorrow. The debate on the bill for an interna ' tional monetary conference was re lumed, but the bill went over until to morrow to allow Pettigrew to speak. The senate at 2 :10 went into executive session, presumably to take up the nom ination of W. S. Forman to be commis sioner of internal revenue. . Senator Chandler madn a vigorous speech in opposition to Forman's con firmation. SNOW FALLING IN MANY STATES The Storm Extend aa Par Sonth aa North Carolina. Chicago, Jan. 28. The temperature still hangs close to the zero mark. One result of the relief work accomplished by the police has been a great decrease in crime. The police and Mayor Swift be lieve that by the prompt relief afforded thousands of destitute families, the city has been saved from bread riots. Among the large subscriptions to the relief fund is one of'$2,0OQ by the West ern Union Telegraph Company. ' The contributions to date amount to 1 over $50,000 cash and hundreds of tons of coal and provisions. It Snowed at the Hub. ' Boston, Mass.. Jan. 28. Snow began falling early last night and the storm in creased in violence' steadily until 8 o'clock this morning, when seven inches had fallen and the wind was blowing thirty miles "an hour. The street-car system is badly crippled. The storm is general throughout New England. . The only accident reported up to 9 o'clock is the stranding of an unknown schooner near Vineyard Haven. Snow Storm la General. Washington, Jan. 28. The weather bureau reports Bnow as far as Southern North Carolina, with a maximum of eight inches in New York. Reports of the weather bureau show the cold wave reached the South Atlan tic states last night. A snow storm, quite unusal in extent and degree for the Southern states, accompanied a drop in temperature. This,, morning reports show the minimum temperature in South and North Carolina, ' Georgia, Alflhnmfl mil Pantrnl and Knrf.horn Florida lower by 4 to 8 djpgrees than any previously reported during, the last ten days of January. -At Cbatanooga, Charlotte and Atlanta it was bi'x degrees above zero. The .minimum was 22 at Jacksonville. It is not expected that there will be much of a rise in the ther mometer for several days. Snow at New York, New York San. 28.-rThe snow' this morning - was eight inches deep, the heaviest fall of the year. The tempera ture is moderate. Traffic all over the city was delayed. The storm, . was felt severely by the poor." A recent accurate canvass of the city shows that the num ber of people in want is greater than was ever seen in New York before . In the Nutmeg State, Too. ' Baybbook Point. Conn..' Jan. 28. Over a foot of snow has fallen. There are no signs of abatement of the storm. PLENTY OF GOLD. Uncle Sam'a Coffers are Filled to Over- flowing.." . Washington, Jan. . 28. Just at the present time the treasnry of the United States is enjoying the novel , experience of being in possession of more gold than it knows what to do with. The cash' balance at the close of business Wednes day was $229,920,399, and of this amount no less than $144,880,389 was in free gold, available for current expenses, or to act as a reserve to redeem ' the out standing paper money. This leaves In the treasury as a fund to be used for or dinary purposes only, $836,031,017. This is far from being an enormous sum when the extensive operations- of the government are taken into consider ation. The treasury is running behind still, and with only three days yet in the first month of the year the excess of ex penditures over receipts is $7,293,516 and the deficit for the fiscal year thus far, a period of nearly seven months, is over $43,000,000. If the gold in the treasury is not paid out for ordinary expenses there is avail able $12,840,806 in silver, not covered by certificates; $19,516,820 in greenbacks; $35,582,518 in treasury notes, and $17,- 339,955 in national notes and the frac tional silver, deposits in national funds, outstanding checks and drafts, disburs ing officers' balances, post-office accounts and other miscellaneous items. It will thus be seen that although the treasury is in possession of the large nominal cash balance ot $230,00,000 in round numbers, it has only $85,000,090 with which to conduct ordinary transac tions, and if the deposits of gold should continue this sum would be stil! further reduced. ' Since the November election the gold reserve has without bond sales or other unusual assistance gradually mounted up to the higbwater mark for this administration. A MIDNIGHT HOLD-CP. Southern Pacific Tram In the Bands of Highwaymen. Grant's Pass, Or Jan.- 28. The north-bound overland due at Roseburg at 11:40 p.m., was held up two miles west of Roseburg tonight. The train was in charge of Conductor Sam Yeatcb and Engineer Morris. The following particulars were given out by the Southern Pacific officials here : Train No 15. north-bound Oregon ex press, was held up last night at bnady point by two or three men, two miles south of Roseburg. The express car was detached from the train bv the robbers, and the door blown open with dynamite. The two smaller safes in the car were blown open and Iooted,'though it is not thought the robbers secured much, The express then took fire. The con ductor and trainmen worked hard to save it after the robbers bad gone, but the flames had too good a start, and the car and contents were destroyed. The train was on time at Shady point, where Engineer Morris saw a man at the side of the track, waving a flag. . , . He slowed up for the signal, and just as he brought trie train to a stop, a man armed with two revolvers came over the back of the car and covered him. At the same time, another armed man, who was the man that flagged him, appeared at the side of the cab, and, presenting a revolver at him, ordered him net to at tempt to move the train, bnt to come down at once and go with them to the express-car. The fireman in the mean time had got down on the other side. The two robbers and the engineer then went to the express car, where the rob bers ordered the express messenger to open the door. This the messenger' re fused to do. The robbers then uncoupled the ex press car, returned to the engine and kicked the train back, .leaving the ex press car separated. In the meantime, the express messen ger had seized the opportunity to step out of the car. After breaking the train the robbers returned to the express car, aqd, with heavy charges of dynamite, the detona tions of which were heard at Roseburg, blew the door open. Entering the car, they attacked the two smaller safes, which they succeeded in entering. The messenger thought the robbers did not succeed in getting into the big safe, and consequently they cquld not have se cured much. The mail car was also visited by the robbers, and it is believed some regist ered mail taken. But they did not pay mucn attention to the mail car. .The explosions set fire to the express car, and wbn the robbers drew off", it was a mass of flames. The train crew worked like trojans, bnt were unable to save it, and the car and contents were almost totally destroyed. Superintendent Fields, who was in Rosebnrg at the time, took a special en gine and went to the wrecked train as soon as he heard of the robbery, The passengers were considerably skaken up, and eome of them fright- ened, but no one was inj nred. The hold no will make the train from 8 to 10 hours late in getting into Portland. An imperfect description of one of the roSbers was secured. It is presumed they were masked. - ' . TEBSONAL MENTION.

The greatest discovery of mummies ever made in Egypt was in the year 1881, when the remains of thirty-nine royal personages were brought to light at Dier-et-Bahari, Thebes. One of these wn8 proven to be the mummy of .King Rameses 11, the third king of the ninth dynasty, and the "Pharaoh" of the Jew ish captiyity. This mummy was in per feet state of preservation. The mummy case itself was of sycamore wood, plain and unvarnished, and without a spot or stripe of paint something reckoned as unusual. The case was, however, carved to represent Rameses in the 'position of Osiris.- The crossed arms rested upon the breast. In the right hand was the royal whip, and in the left the royal book. The features were most delicate ly carved in soft wood, and the. whole was surmounted with the crowns of Up per and Lower Egypt, and surrounded by a carved representation of the the uraeus serpent. The name of Rameses was written in plain black characters upon the case, which bore no other text or representation whatever, strongly contrasting with the exaggerated dedi cations noted on almost all the other cases found in the same pit. The mummy itself was carefully wrapped in rose-colored and yellow linen of a texture finer than the very finest Indian muslin. In the different folds of this linen several dried lotus flower leaves were found. In the folds of one of the bands which passed across the grave clothes to keep them in place was a folded papyri bearing incriptions which inform the reader that this, the mummy of Rameses II.,' was con cealed in the pit where it waB found at a time when a foreign army invaded Egypt. This quaint bit of information, which was probably written 2,000 or 2, 500 years ago, is as plaim as . though it had been penned but yesterday. St. Louis Republic. England's Deepest Mine. England's deepest mine shaft is at Ashton Moss colliery, near Manchester, going down 2,880 feet, but the dip in the seam carrries the workings to 3,360 feet below the surface. The lowest part of the Pendleton colliery is 3,474 leet. The deepest shaft in the world is the Red Jacket of the Calumet and Hecla on Lake Superior, 4,900 feet. Belgulm's deepest shaft is 3,937 feet; -Austro-Hnn-gary's, 3,672; Germany's, 2,960; France's, 2,300, and Australia's, 3,302. The Prussian government has bored down to 6,572 feet below the surface, the temperature there rising 1 degree, Fahrenheit, lor every 62.1 feet. Remarkable Sale of Hogs. - For high prices no sale of bogs ever made in the United States, according to reports, was eqnal to the one held last week by stockraiser Council of Will iamsville, at the Illinois State Fair grounds, Springfield. The sale was con fined to thoroughbred Poland-China stock, 40 head bringing over ten thou sand dollars. The lowest price received for a single animal was $110, and the highest $750. This eale means a great deal for hog raisers. Home values at public sales are also more satisfactory. Six to eight dollars per hundred seems to be the rule for common stock bogs. A Care for Lame Back. "My daughter, when recovering from an attack of fever, was a great sufferer from pain in the back and hips," writes Louden Grover, of Sardis, Ky. "After using quite a number of remedies with out any benefit she tried one bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and it has given entire relief." Chamberlain'B Pain Balm is also a certain cure for. rheu matism. . Sold by Blakeley & Houghton. CRAPS BEFORE DUTY. The Darky Thought That the New Yorker W aa Very Inconsiderate. A Wall street man tells this story: "I "was making- the trip from New Or leans to Memphis in April by a Missis sippi river -steamboat. On the first day out from New Orleans I felt the need of the barber's services and learning-that the Memphis Belle -was tonsoriallv equipped I sought out that office, found a single barber in " charge, rather pompous, tall person of color with flowing- Dundreary whiskers. He was engng-ed in doing- nothing' at all with that gTace of execution peculiar to the southern darky. I seated myself in his chair and was soon wrapped in thought upon some business I had be gun in New Orleans. .The barber began his work leisurely, the while carrying- on a one-sided flow of talk to which replied in monosyllables. - "The day. was warm and I was almost dozing- away under the soft splashes of his brush when another customer entered. . He was a nrrvous, fidgety sort of man and as there were so newspa pers in the room he amused himself in looking- at a few prints hung- on the walls, the attraction of which soon palled upon him. Then he walked to the door and looked down the deck- where a group of roustabouts were en gaged m the g.ime of craps. Figaro liad by this t:tne completed the iather ing of one side of my face and roused mo by turning i;:y hed-around. I inti mated' that life vens short, and I didn't care about passing too much of it in be ing shaved. He was evidently disgusted with my taciturnity and replied with great dignity, but with no haste cither of speech or action; 'Cert'nly, sail, cer- t'nJy.' tr "The stranger's curiosity had been karouscd by the gambling going on ont- j'side, which was as usual accompanied by the come, sevens!' and shrieks of 'craps' whioh attend that game. " 'What game is that, barber?' he demanded of Dundreary. He of the whiskers made one or two artistic plays of his brush over my chin and answered: " 'Lah, Gawd, mister, ain't yer ever seen that game? That'scraps. Every body' plays it 'round this country.' "The stranger admitted he had seen it played' before in the wharves and streets, but said he had not discovered any mental light from his observations. A running exchange of queries and ex planations followed between barber and stranger, during which a not over keen razor had begun its . course down my right cheek. Both parties to the col loquy were getting interested and I was getting bored. The nervous stranger appeared somewhat obtuse, or, perhaps, the ver nacular of the barber was inadequate to convey the full- meaning of the technical details of craps. At any rate, he pressed for further information. My face had by that time been cleared of beard as to my chin and part of my cheek. Fifteen minutes had been con siimed in the process and my patience was becoming threadbare. The barber had exhausted his powers of description and, turning to the stranger, he said: 'Weil, sah, ef you really wants to know how to shoot craps I kin show you and placing the razor on the shelf he opened a drawer and withdrew a pair of greasy-looking dice. Then he stepped over to a table and began to give a practical exposition of the mys teries of the game. This was too much. 'Here!' I cried, raising myself in the chair. 'Finish up this job before you get to crap shooting.' Certainly, sah, he replied to me and turning to the stranger he added: One minute an 1 11 show vou.' It only took a few minutes to com plete his work on me, and as I put on my coat he and the stranger proceeded with the game. As I left the room I could hear him muttering about the hurry some people is in an' it is still tnh iavs 'fore we. iret to Memnhis ' " A HOLE IN THE MOUNTAIN. Wonders of a Cave Near Chattanooga . That Puzzle Geologists. 'The most peculiar cave I ever saw," said a Chattanooga man to a Washing ton Star writer, "is on Raccoon moun- ain, near Chattanooga. It has never been explored, and.no one really knows whether or. not there is much of a cave.

It has been sounded with a line of consid erable length without finding a bottom to the chamber through -the roof of which the opening exists. There is a constant roaring sound, like the wind sometimes makes. It does not seem ike water, and is undoubtedly caused by air circulating in the immense hole in the mountain.

The annual meeting of the . stockholders of the Southern Pacific Company will be held in April, and it is rumored in railroad circles that the'event will be marked by several important changes in the general offices of the company. , Rumors have it that there will be a change in the board of directors of the company, and that C. P. Huntington will- be succeeded by Thomas H.f Hubbard in the important office of president. There are some who profess to believe that the rumors concerning a change of administration are without foundation and that the changes' will not come nearer a realization than have similar rumors in the past. In other quarters it is stated that Huntington's adminis tration during thepast year has not met with the entire approval of the stock holders and that the Searles interests will join the Stanford and Crocker in terests in effecting a radical change of affairs in the executive offices of the company. .
