The baseball bat and an ax were wielded in a fight at Virginia City over the title to a house by Patrick Ward and torn O'Rourke. Both were seriously wounded. The Republicans are holding two State Conventions in Nevada. There is a dis agreement over the proposition to accept the silver elector or to select a straight Republican ticket. The fruit crop in the Willamette Val ley will fall short of the average, it is Slid, owing to the cold rains and heavy winds which prevailed last spring. The shortage is especially noticeable in the prune crop. - A body of salt water has been struck near Foster station, twenty-six miles from San Diego. The water is reported to hold gold in solution. From two gal lons of the water over two pounds of pure salt was obtained. In Oregon last year lf,000 bales of hops were produced. The Salem Staler man says that owing to increased acre age the output this year will be much greater, while the crop is of a much bet ter quality than last season. In tbe Court of Private Claims at Santa Fe opinions were banded down recently confirming the title to two large tracts of land in Taos county, N. M., known as Las Ranchor del Rio Grande. The grant was confirmed for 109.000 acres. The other was the Cubero grant in Valencia county, calling for some 16, 000 acres. While an Indian woman was sewins in the shade of a tree at Palomar, San Diego county, a wild cat sprang upon her, biting and tearing her flesh. A dog came to her rescue, and diverted the at tention of the cat, which chased the dog to (lie stable, and the none there aroused the husband, who shot the animal. The woman died from her wounds. . There are about 175 Indian bova and girls at the Chemewa Indian school how, but it is expected the number will reach 300 before long. Uncle Sam has not sent the quarterly installment of between $8,000 and $10,009, which is required to run the school, but it is looked for in a short time. The pay-roll of the pupils alone is in the vicinity of $215. State Printer Baker is busv isBuinir the 50,000 edition of the "Resources of Oregon," a neat little pamphlet of 200 pages, rail of general information about this State. About half of the edition has been struck off, and it is calculated that it will take six weeks to complete the work. After that he will start on the "Resources of Eastern Oregon." The Monumental mining and milling property at Granite, the property of C. S. Miller, has been consolidated with the Morris mines nt Greenhorn, and a stock company formed with a capitalization of si,zou,uuu, aivmea into 2dU,UUU shares. The company is incorporated under the name of the Granite and Greenhorn Consolidated Mining and Milling Com pany. . ., , .;. .; ' The government contract Indian school at Old Mission, near San Diego, has been reopened with nearly 100 children from ranches all over the country. The Sis ters of St. Joseph have been teaching them five years with marked results, and Indian girls are in demand for do mestio service when through there. Pupils are now completing a Mexican drawn-work display for the World's Fair. The committee in charge of the pre liminary arrangements for the celebra tion of 350th anniversary of the discov ery of San Diego Bay on September 28 has received a dispatch from Governor Torres of Lower California, stating that President Diaz of Mexico will send his finest military band to take part in the celebration. Governor Torres and staff, together with a company of Mexican troops, will be present on that occasion. A fire started in the woods and dry grass near Elmira, Lane county, Or., re cently, and spread quite rapidly. A farm owned by James Kirk of Junction was burned over, all his fences destroyed and a barn filled with straw burned. His house was burned in the same way last year. The fire then spread to the sclioolhoo.se, and came near getting that, but the children playing around the building had worn the grace off some, and the neighbors were able to save it. Deputy United States Collector 0. D. Reppy of La Noria. A. T., went across the line, and was immediately arrested by Mexicans and taken to the town of Santa Crux. Reppy a short time ago captured a Mexican horse smuggler and brought him to La Noria, where he was bound over and taken to Tucon to await trial. Reppy was held as a hostage for the return of the Mexican smuggler. Upon being notified, Mr. Lineiros of th Mexican customs service at Nogales sent a courier to Santa Crni with orders to th Mexicans to release Reppy. EDUCATIONAL.

The greater number ot these students are from Russia, and only eleven are from America. One hundred and fifty-seven are studying medicine, ixty-two philosophy and five law. The most instructive college yell yet discovered is that of the girls belonging to the annex of the Western Reserve University in Cleveland : " Warm milk, fresh air : keep your feet off the reeis- taire." This yell is a constant reminder of the sanitary rules of the school, strict obedience to which has apparently proved of great advantage to the stu dents. PERSONAL MENTION. Ben Butler Sadly Bent With Age M. Zola's New Book Creates Quite a Furor in Paris. Candidates Harrison, Reid, Weaver and Bid well were all born in Ohio. Bismarck used to spell his name with out the "c." German usage in words having a similar ending sanctioning eitner lorm ot spelling. Lord Herschell, Great Britain's new Lord Chancellor, is not a direct descend ant of the great astronomical Hersch ells, but is of the same family. M. Larsen, a wealthy Danish banker, so strikingly resembles the Czar of Rus sia that he has got finally into an insane hospital. He came to imagine that be was really the Czar, and fear of assassi nation nneettled his mind. Henry de Rothschild, one of the young swells of the famous family of Rothschild, is at Saratoga. He is one of the PariB Rothschilds, and is said to be heir to more than $50,000,000. He is an athletic youth of 19 years. Sir Frederic Leighton, President of the Royal Academy, ia mentioned as likely to be recommended to a Peerage. As literature and science have both al ready received this compliment, it is snly right that art should be recognized In a similar manner. The Prussian army is said to contain but one officer raised from the ranks Colonel Landemann, who was promoted for acta of exceptional brajrety in the Schleawig-Holstein campaign in ISO I. He has juBt been gazetted commander of the Sixtieth Infantry. ; M. Zola i one of those who flourish on abuse. A fierce battle is raging in France iust now against the man who wrote "La Debacle" and therein re vealed, it is alleged, a lack of patriotism. Every newspaper in Paris echoes in va rious modulations the shout of "traitor," and meanwhile an edition of 100,000 copies of "La Debacle" has been sold OUt. : . Ben Butler is said to be badly bent with age. His face haa the look of health, hat his massive frame has be come antinmistakable burden. His hands move unsteadily, while his eyes appear swollen and almost hidden by the thick folds of flesh on his cheeks. But his head is clear as a bell, and at 74 there is no shrewder lawyer or politician in New England. Prof. Unwin of the Guilds College, London, has, it is said, been offered over 5,000 a year to undertake the duties of engineer-in-chief to the extension works now being carried out at the falls of Ni agara to utilize a part of the enormous hydraulio power which hitherto has been running to waste. What Prof. Unwin's decision in the matter is has not yet transpired. The artist Whistler lived in Washing ton about thirty-five years ago in such poverty and seclusion that few people were aware of his existence. He was then a poorly-paid draughtsman in the service of the coast survey, and was forced to practice the strictest economy to keep the lamp of life burning. His quarters were a Wren attic, the walla and ceilings of which he covered with sketches of all kinds in charcoal and pencil. The wife of Mr. Frlck of Homestead la ot Massachusetts stock. Her father was Asa P. Childa, who between 1823 and 1838 was engaged in the wholesale shoe business in Pittsburg, making his purchases in Boston, where he and his brother, Harvey Childa, were well known. They were partners of John Albree of Boston, who attended to the purchasing of the firm's stock in that city and was a widely known and highly respected business man. EASTERN ITEMS. Grasshoppers Doing Great Damage in Ohio. HIGHBINDERS OF NEW YORK. A Third Party Candidate for Gov ernor Fined for Using Profanity Etc. Rain has saved Virginia's tobacco crop. There is a grain blockade at Kansas City. The paper mills of New England are forming a trust. Pittsburg will build a $400,000 home for its paupers. The continued drought has Injured corn in Illinois. Chicago's school census shows the city has 1,438,010 people. Philadelphia is soon to have a system of elevated railways. Atlanta ia said to have a park for col ored people exclusively. It is proposed to build a railroad from Washington to Mount Vernon. It will soon be ready. It is planned to construct a great yacht harbor on the north shore, off Lincoln Park, Chicago. Russian Jew immigrants at Boston are washed with a solution of carbolic acid to kill cholera germs. - Bank Commissioner Johnson of Kan sas has issued a report, which shows great prosperity in that business. It is reported that Republicans will institute suit to test the constitutionality of thelndiana apportionment act of 1891. Mr. Wanamaker receives more appeals from cranks and oti.er beggars for money and official favor than any other man in pnblic life. An agent of the Red Cross Society i at Brownsville, Tex., investigating tU. condition of destitute people in the Rio Grande Valley. Grasshoppers are doing an immense amount of damage in Ohio to oats and other growing crops. Whole fields of oats have been destroyed. Osage Indians in Oklahoma scared a white man nearly to death by institut ing a mock torture of burning at the stake and cutting off his hair. It is said in Texas that the Railroad Commission ia only restrained by the recent decision from making rates on the Gonld linea and the Santa Fe. The Legislature of Louisiana has placed itself on record as favoring the election of Senators of the United States by a direct vote of the people. Arrests are being made at Homestead, Pa., of the men who were engaged in the battle with the Pinkertons, th lat ter having sworn out warrants. The government has unearthed exten sive sugar frauds by systematic under weighing of importations. Eight im porters at New York are said to be in volved. Anderson & Co. of Port Huron. Mioh.. manufacturers of carriages and agricult ural implements, have filed chattel mort gages aggregating $230,000 to secure creditors. The Transcontinental Railway Asso ciation has instructed the Chairman to give the required three months' notice to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company canceling the existing agreements. The Highbinder Society of New York sent a messager to Emporia, Kan., to notify Wuong Lee that he must leave there or die. Wuong is naturalized, and the officers have promised protection to him. An attachment haa been filed at New York for $450,000 against Bullick & Wil der, railroad contractors, who built the Monterey and Mexican Gulf railroad. The claim ia for money advanced to carry on that work. There are counterfeit $10 gold pieces of date 1852 in circulation at Chicago. They are ligher in color and a great deal lighter in weight than the good coin. On all of them appears the letter "O," indicative of the New Orleans mintage. It is reported in New York that the Elkins-Widener-Yerkes syndicate hat gobbled np the Jav Gould holdings in the Manhattan Elevated Railway Com pany, and that the triumvirate of street railway men will demand three seats in the company's directory. i St. Louis. Mo., will have an attractive feature during the fall festivities in the shape of a large illuminated glob with the different continents, oceans, etc., painted on its surface. It will be 100 feet in circumference, and will contain 6,000 incandescent lamps. Canadian Paciflo railway officials are charged with being engaged in aesiBtinp smugglers to pass Chinese into thie coun try, and the Treasury Department ha officially notified the Deputy Collectot of CuBtoma at Montreal of the fact with a view to putting an end to such work. Dr. Exum, the Third party candidate for Governor in North Carolina, was ar rested at Goldsboro, charged with nsing profane language in the postofflce in the presence of ladies. The postmaster made the charge. Although Dr. Exum made a positive denial under oath, the Mayor fined him, and a warrant for perjury has been issued against him. It ia said that the police and other courts of St. Louis are notoriously cor rupt and acquit about three-fourths of the cases brought before them and con vict about half as many as five years ago. The amount of money paid to the city for fines has decreased 70 pr cent., and officers receive a great deal of plun der. "ThePuBh"issaidto bs a con spiracy which has been exposed by the grand jury, but the citizens take small Interest in the matter. President Hill of the Great Northern is quoted as saying that his only object in cutting loose from the transcontinental organization ia based on a determination to adopt such rate taritlsas will promote business interests and build no town. along the line of his road from St. Paul to Seattle. This he con Id not do undor the restrictive provisions of the trans continental agreement, which created great discriminations against interior lo calities in favor of Paoifle Coast points. NATIONAL CAPITAL. Canadians Circumvented In Trying to Hatch a Scheme to Evade the Imposed Canal Tolls. Th Treasury Department so far this year haa shipped but $9,000,000 for mov ing crops, as against $14,800,000 for the same period last year. This large de crease is explained not by a diminution of the crops, but by the fact that the banks were better supplied with small notes. Secretary Foster aays there has been aa yet no place or time fixed upon for the meeting of the international mone tary conference. Should the cholera continue ita menacing course, the opin ion is expressed at the Treasury Depart- ' ment that it is altogether probable th meeting of the conference will be de ferred until some later date, when the danger from the scourge will not be so great as now. The Secretary of the Interior has ap portioned the surveying appropriations. Oregon receives $35,000, Washington $64,000, and Idaho $40,000. Oregon has an increase of $15,000 over last year, and Idaho an increase of (5)00, while Wash ington is the same as last year. Of the amounts apportioned the following are to be need on public lands within the railroad land grants: Oregon $15,000, Washington $19,000. and Idaho $10,000. Attorney-General Miller recommended to the President that the resignation of United States Marshal Parsons of Utah be asked for immediately. The Presi dent approved the recommendation, and the Marshal has been asked to resign. It is stated at the Department of Justice that this action was taken because the Marshal and his deputies on some occa sions had allowed Prisoner Groeebeck to leave the prison and visit bis third wife, for living with whom he had been con victed on the charge of adultery. , It haa been learned on good authority at the Navy Department that the Secre- j tary will not detach the Monterey from I the San Francisco station when she goes into commission, it ia ma intention to have the vessel remain as the principal defense of the city. She will take coast wise trips northward as far as Portland and southward to San Diego, and will remain constantly in those waters. The Monterey will be1 put in commission be fore her armorplate for the vertical tar ret is finished, and its absence will be supplied by thick oak planking. It is understood that Lieutenant Pendleton of the Washington navy yard will be or dered to take charge as her executive officer. Captain Shepard, in charge of the revenue marine bureau of the treasury department, has not yet received con firmation from any of the revenue cut ters in Bearing sea of the reported arrests of British and American sealers by a Russian man-of-war for illegal sealing in the neighborhood of the Seal islands, still owned by Russia in the Behring sea, and leased to the AlatkaCorumercitw Company. That the arrests were made more than three milej from shore ia not doubted. The occurrence will have a pointed bearing upon two of the ques tions to be arbitrated upon, viz: What exclusive jurisdiction . in the sea now known as the Behring sea, and what exclusive rights in the seal fisheries therein did Russia assert and exercise, prior and up to the time of the cession of Alaska to the United States, and second, how far were the terms of juris diction as to the seal fisheries recognised and conceded by Great Britain I ing the 20-cent tolls to be imposed in , accordance with the terms of the Presi dent's proclamation on and after Sep tember 1 on all Manitoba wheat shipped through the St. Mary's canal, are pro- King to ship in Canadian bottoms from ninth to Port Huron, to be trans shipped from that point by the Grand Trunk line through Canada. This mat ter being brought to the attention of the Treasury Department, Assistant Secre tary Spanlding has sent the following special telegram to the solicitor ol the Grand Trunk at Detroit, Mich. : "Nei their Manitoba nor domestic wheat can be carried in Canadian bottoms from Duluth to Port Huron, as it would be in violation of our coasting laws ; bat, if carried in American bottoms, it is not subject to tolls. If carried through the canal from Dulnth to Sarnia for con sumption in or export from Canada via Montreal or any other port, it would be." WORLD'S FAI8 NOTES. ' Two Caravels Built for Exhibition at the Chicago Columbian Exposition - Have Been Launched. A factory at Lynn haa aaked for space at the World's Fair to show pneumatic dynamite guns and projectiles. Colonel Eliott F. Shepherd of New York has purchased 10,000 of the World's Fair souvenir coins, paying $10,000 for them. New York will exhibit at the World's Fair sections of all the trees which are indieenons to the State. Of these there are "forty three species and eighty-five varieties, a number which is not ex celled, it is claimed, by any State in th Union. It haa been decided to make a Tacoma exhibition at the World's Fair to con sist principally of drawing anl the con- . ventionalizing of forms ana clay model ing. The High school will contribute most of the drawings and lower grades models in clay. Complete plana for the exhibition will be arranged. The programme of the dedicatory cer emonies of the World's Fair haa been completed as follows: October 19, re ception to the President of the United States, Cabinet and other guests at the Auditorium; 20th, grand "Procession of Centuries " at the grounds. Following thla will be speeches, military maneu vers, etc A Madrid dispatch says : The caravels Nina and Pinta, which have been build ing some time at Barcelona for the Co lumbus celebration, have been launched, and will be completed shortly, as only the masts and a few of the fittines are now lacking. The Nina la 67 feet long over deck ; the Pinta is 72 feet long over deck and 23 feet wide. An organization has been formed at Geneva, 111., whose object is to compile and publish a history of the work of women in the elective offices of Kane county, which is to be exhibited at th exposition. Kane county has the credit of being the first county in the State, and perhaps in the Union, to honor woman by making; her a deputy in its official offlcea.
