After the Oregon State Fair ia over
the cream of the fruit and vegetable and
gniln exhibits will be sent to the World's
Fair, where they will be exhibited in the
Oregon departments to which they prop
erly belong. The State Agricultural
College haa donated its magnillcent ex
hibit of potatoes, grains, grasses and
vegetables, and the State Board will send
its special exhibits of grasses, grains,
fruits and vegetables. These will go far
toward attracting yet greater notice to
Oregon.
The Arizona Gaxette. published at
Phoenix, lias issued a World's Fair edi
tion, giving a description of the Terri
tory, its agricultural possibilities, mining
Bi'liievements and natural scenic attrac
tions, with historical sketches of the
races that once inhabited that "land of
the future." The inducements in cli
mate aud the prolific soil of the 8alt
River Vallev are features that homeseek-
ers are not likely to overlook when once
they read of tliein in this carefully ed
ited paper.
The announcement is made at San
Francisco that at the request of the Pa
cific Mail Steamship Company Postmaster-General
Biased haa annulled the con
tract betweon the government and that
company for carrying the mails between
that port and Panama and intermediate
points in Mexico and Central America,
The annnllment ia to take effect Septem
lier 30. The company officials claim that
the contract necessitates extra service,
including additional steamers and more,
frequent stops, and that the company is
consequently loaing money on its regular
business, especially in view of the com
petition offered by the North American
Navigation Company." It is said, though
the company officials do not confirm it,
that after ihe expiration of tlie mail
contract but two Bteamera per month
will be run between San Francisco and
Panama, and that the present call at Sun
Diego will be abandoned,
At the World's Fair the Committee on
Nomenclature alter some of the nameaJ
of Oregon fruits shipped for exhibition,
but they unanimously agree that the
color, flavor, texture and general excel
lence o( the mm are remarkaoie ana
unsurpassed. The fruits have all been
labeled with the names of the growers
who produced thera, and they derive all
the benefit arising from the publicity
given. ' The managers ot the Oregon ex
hibits are using their very best endeav
ors to place exhibits ia such a position
as to eaten the eyes oi tne capital isw
and those who are seeking homes. It is
surprising to note the great nnmbet of
people who are so much interested, and
who want all the'literatnre they can pro
cure on the subject. The exhibits will
be the means of inducing many of the
best class of bomeseekors to locate in
Oregon during the next Ave years, and
will bring unlimited capital. .

train ot cars is stopped, obstructed or
injured, with intent to rob or injure the
person or property passing over any rail

The United States Senate has been
threatened with destruction by bomb-
throwers. Thia at anv rate ia one of the-
sensational rumors afloat in Washington.
It is asserted that several silver Senators
have received threatening letters, stat
ing that, if thev did not soon permit a
vote on unconditional repeal, a bomb
would be dropped from the gallery into
the midst of the silver leaders. Stewart,
Jones, Teller, Wolcott and other well
known silver Senators have received
these letters. Stewart is disposed to dis
miss the matter without consideration,
but Teller and some of the others are
frightened. The situation has been laid
before 6ergeant-at-arms Bright and
thirty special detectives sent to the Sen
ate chamber, and every person not
known is subjected to a rigid scrutiny.
No one is permitted to enter conveying a
valise or package of any kind. All these
detectives are in citizens' clothes.
The public hearings before the Ways
and Means Committee have been con
cluded. It is the intention of the com
mittee to commence work at once upon
the new tariff bill. L. E. Holden of
Cleveland spoke in favor of the existing
duty on lead ore. He declared that, if
the duties oe reancea. miners- wages
will necessarily be reduced. Hugo F.
Camp of New York also insisted on the
retention of the present duty in the in
terest of the producers and miners. He
protested against the treatment of lead
ore as a raw material. Among the other
industries represented were thread,
paints and colors, corsets, raw ivory and
piano-forte ivories. F. J. Remer of New
York complained that the duty on silk
was too high, so high in fact that the
foreign manufacturers of silk goods could
not he brought in competition with
American silks. He admitted, however,
that foreign manufacturers ot silk paid
50 per cent less wages than were paid in
this country. At the afternoon session

well as matches, brushes, tobacco, bur
lap and lierman looking-glass. Kepre
sentative McCall of Massachusetts spoke
of the necessity of deciding now upon
the date on which the new tariff law
will go into effect. He said that would
do much to restore confidence, and sug
gested January 1, 1895, as a reasonable
lime.
