Not ilnce the memorial dissyter of 1886 has there been such a loss of life as luring the present year along; the Col umbia river fisheries.

Governor Richard of Montana has Insued a proclamation pmliibiting the iuiportation of sheep into Montana from Oregon, California, Nevada, Washing ton, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Color lo or New Mexico, except npon the certitl cate of t he State Veterinarian that the Hlieep have been innpected and found free of any infectious or contagious dicease. .., "Worms have again appeared in tho vineyards west of Fresno, Cal., by mil lions, and in several localities people are fighting them with reiays of Chinese, who work night and day. The worm work night, and in some places several acres have been stripped of leaves in a few hours as if a band of sheep had gone through the vlnevarda. It is thought tho pest will be cleaned out. TheMcKlnney will case at Stockton, Cel., has been stopped. A motion for a nonsuit was agreed to by the contestant, a colored woman, who swore she married MeKiiuiey in 1878, when the roeord would prove that she had married a man named Nicholas in 1870. Theio was every evidence of conspiring to obtain the McKinncy money, and it is poeaible a conspiracy case may be formed. v . , Penitentiary convict are now making about 40,000 brick a day. The Salem Statesman says: "It is pity they could not make enough fo the soldiers' homo, the branch asylum and all ether prospective 'buildings now, before the etarting of the proposed jute mill, so a to keep the idle convicts employed. They aim to make 3,000,000 this season, to be nsed in public buildings and ad ditions provided for by the last Legia lature. ..,,.,.,-;.. , The esse against the trapmen of the Columbia river have for the second time in two years fallen to the ground, and Hon. C. W. Fulton and his brother won two case recently for the' defense, one after the other. The Prosecuting At torney declared he would never again bring a charge against a trapman or a gill-net fisherman. He declared it utterly useless to try to secure a con viction, and stated that it would never be possible for the State to win a case of the kind when the lawyers so mixed the jury np with the jurisdiction question that thev were unable to agree on any thing. Mr. Fulton produced certificates held by both defendants, and argued that the laws of Congress giving Oregon jurisdiction In civil and criminal canes to the Washington shore of the Colum bia only applied to the service of pro cesses and to crimes committed on a floating boat or other craft and not to anything fixed into the bed of the river on the Washington aide. He claimed in addition that, if a Clatsop county jury pronounced jurisdiction over w asning ton fishtraps, the Stato of Washington could with just as much reason levy due on and control the Union Paci fie wharve that run out toward the middle channel from Astoria. Judge Cleveland, being powerless to instruct the juries on the question of law, was barred from- in structing either jury, and the Fultons secured acquittal for every one of their clients. The Question unfortunatolv is no nearer settlement than ever. Tha Sheriff of the county and all his dep nties are denonncing'Fiah Commissinnor Crawford of Washington for what thfty claim ia flagrant dereliction of duty Ir favor of the trapowner.

The expert employed under the di rection of the Congressional Comiiiltt' authorized to investigate the methods f conducting business in the executive o. partments began work last week. Thy will first take up the buaineiM method! of the Treasury, It will take purhapj two years to lltiish the work. The officials of tha War Department protest that the recent increase of the military force at Chicago has nothing to do with the closing of the World's Fair, but notwithstanding this denial there is reason to believe trouble! anticipated if an attempt is made to carry out the construction of the law given by the United State Courts. The Star says that President Cleve land has told memlier of Congress that under no circumstances would there bo an Issue of bonds unless especially au thorized by Congress. The administra tion, lie said, was not responsible for the present financial situation, and it lay with Congress and not the administra tion to find a remedy for it. : Plans are being made by Secretary nuke Smith for an extensive summer tour through the West. These plans are not fully developed, and the time of his departure i therefore unknown. He will, however, visit point in Indian Territory and then proceed to California, returning bv the route of the Northern Pueilln railroad. Mr. Smith has decided to accompany him on hid travels. During the first three month of the present administration ended June 3 the tiitul number of fourth-class postmaster appointed was 6,537, of which 4.072 were to till vacancies caused by resignation and death and 1,805 by removals.

Secretarv Gresham has received infor mation from Minister Blount that war rants the conclusion that he ia prepared to Indorse all that has been done in Ha waii and that he ia now itronglv in clined to recommend at least the estab lishment of United Bute protectorate over the Hawaiian Islands. The Secre tary I also in official ignorance ot the reported Interference of Claus Spreckela in behalf of the restoration of monarchy and of hi insistence upon the repayment bv the provisional government of money advanced by him to the late monarchy. The Secretary i. of course, in receipt of information from Blount that be doe not feel justified in publishing, but he eels no hesitation in denying the accu racy of tho above report. WORLD'S FAI& NOTES. The ai Gladstone has been Using at Havrarden is to be on exhibition at the World's Fair. Florida, somewhat late it woold aeem, is appropriating f.25,000 for State use at the World's Fair on condition that the railroads give a like sum. Tho foreign commissioner at the World' Fair propose to have an inde pendent board of jurors and to issue di plomas on their own account. The World' Fair managers have fig ured expenses down to 20,000 a day, whereas tho daily average revenue from admissions and concessions ia about (30, WH). A majority of the United States Cir cuit Court has decided the World's Fair must close Sun' lays. Judges Wood and Jenkins ordered that an injunction be issued restraining tho officials from open ing the gates of the fair gfonnd. Judge Grosscnp dissented, recommending that the injunction applied for by the United States District Attorney bo not granted. The decision of Judges Wood and Jen kins, though reaching the same point in tlio end, take this action on widoly divorc ing grounds, and dissenting opinion dif fers radically from both. The court rooms were crowded when the decision was read. Judge Wood read his own opinion, in which he concluded that Jackson Park was lawfully devoted for exposition purposes, and that the expo sition had been in feet turned over to the control of the Federal government bv the local corporation, arid that its control was therefore as absolute as its control of the Federal building. He held that the Sunday-closing rule, hav ing once.been passed by the local direc tory and approved by the National Com mission, former body could not change it. Regarding the case before Judge Stein of the State conrt he held it was no bar to the proceeding, because It is inadmissible to ear that the government must in comity yield to a Stato court. A man named Arnold and Harlow Higginhotham, who secured the conces sion as official and onlv photographer on the grounds at a salary of (2,000 a year and 10 per cent on all work, which meant about i 25.000, have ruined them elves by ofllciousness in getting them selves tangled up with the council of ad ministration, and will probably be dis ciplined. Thev went so far a to declare that representatives of illustrated news papers could not make sketches on the grounds, and the other d;ty one of these artists was arrested and taken before Arnold, who constituted himself ill istmtefor tho occasion and utterly ig nored the permit issued to the artist by Director-General Davis. When the in formation of thia rcRched the Director General he was wroth, and the matter was referred to the council of adininia f atton, which will Inteniew Arnold. This is not the most serious matter about these hanghtv photographers. -The Im perial German Commissioners . md complaint against them to the effect that Arnold refused to return them negatives of photographs taken of paintings in the Gorman section of the fine-arts gallery. The United States government signed an agreement that all negatives of photo R.nplis or other exhibit should be re turned to the commissioners. This agree livvit, however, had no effect on Arnold, n'H the matter wrs laid before, the eoua r,; -if administration. EASTERN NEWS. The Gould Stocks Suffer an Enormous Shrinkage.
