Wahhiniiion, October !tl. The At-torney-Uuneral
today rendered an opln
loll In tlia Huntli Carolina dispensary
cane presented by Governor Tillman, In
whieli he sustain tlio opinion of the
Treasury Department, holding that tlie
State ha no authority under the law to
cntor the government bonded ware
house for the purpose o( seizing whisky
declared by the State law to be subject
to coiillcutiiii. In the course ol hit
opinion he sayss
" The h'Kiil ntattm of distilled liquors
in a bonded warehouse of the United
Stales and under the control of the Col
lwtor of Internal Revenue in definitely
stated and settled hy Section 034 of the
ltcvimid Statute of the United States,
which declare that 'all property taken
or detained hy any ollleer or other per
win uniler authority, or any revenue law
of the I'niled State shall be irreplevin
aide, and shall le deemed to be in the
custody of the law and subject to the
orders and decrees of the courts of the
l ulled Male huviiiff jurisdiction there
of.' It cannot lie hehl a ha been sug
gested, and perhaps might well be, that,
since the tariff act of 1SII4, the taxes due
on distilled liquor in a I'niled State
bonded warehouse can bo paid only by
the distiller. Whether tliat be no or not
a tender of inch taxe by the Sheriff In
necessarily ineffectual ai against the
smtute above quoted, since it 1 beyond
the power of an Internal ltevenne Col
lector to accept it, and thua nullify the
provision and defeat the policy of a
statute which iihna to ubaolutely exempt
uch liiuora from the operation of- the
procena of a State court. Such tender,
which for the ruaaon stated the Collector
ia ineoinpeteiit to accept, muat be also
ineffectual because no ollleer of South
Carolina haa been given the right or
power to make it, the coiiBtitution of
South Carolina not authorizing any such
tender nor providing any fund which
can be used for that purpose."

WASiiiNorotf, Octolier 31. The Even

which give promise of an outcome of
interest to the public:
If current report are true, there la a
syndicate writer in New York, whose
tiauin ia to be found at the foot of arti
clv in many citiee of the Union, who
may have a very unpleasant quarter of
an hour with the Washington corre
spondent liefore the next session of
Congress ahull end. The tory has
readied here, vouched for by authority
that would wem to be credible, that one
ol the incidents of the augur trust cam
paign In Washington laat winter waa tlie
raining of a purse by the sugar trust peo
ple to be given to this enterprising corre
apondent to lie dinttibuted in Washing
ton among the preaa people where it
"would do the most good" In the opin
ion of thop who furnished tlio money,
and that place waa the pockets of those
representative of the preaa of the coun
try here who, with or without right,
were supposed to have Influence in Con
gress and in the niakingof public opinion
throughout the country. There are in
timation even that the men who hi in
itialled the money did so under the im
pression it was to be distributed pro rata
among the representative of the prese
in Washington in the expectation that
tlie comment npon the operation of
the sugar trust would lie either leaa se
vere or that thev would be altogether
withheld. Jt i, of course, assumed that
the distributor of thi fund waa to re
ceive hi coiiiinlsaion. There are mtima-
tiona even that a list war furnished of
the nunie of correspondents to whom
thl fund was to tie distributed, and that
the expectation wa that it would be ex
pended in part in dinner, in part in
w ay that would be appreciated by those
for w hom it was intended. If there is
anything In this story, it ia safe to say
that not $1 of thin alleged fund ever
passed to the representative correspond
ent for whom it ia represented that it
was Intended. The man. who undertook
to disburse this fund did so with the
full knowledge that it would not be safe
for him to approach any of the gentle
men whose name may have appeared
on thin pretended list for any such pur
pose whatever. He not only is not on
relations of confidence with them, but
ho never calls upon any of them when
in Washington. Effort are being made
to ascertain the truth of thl report, and
if it shall bo found true, the correspond
ent in question will hear more later,
possibly in the court and probably be
fore a committee of investigation.

(Jonaral Wallace Tliluk the War
May
Make China Our Competitor.
8an Fuancisco, Octolier 31. General
Lew Wallace said in an interview that
he fears the present war between Japan
and China will ultimately lead up to the
competition of China as a producer with
the United States and with Kuropean
nations. Speaking on this subject, the
Oeneral said :
" When China finds from the results
of the war with Japan that a complete
change of method is necessary, she will
not confine her regeneration to methods
of warfare. The greater danger is that
she will become a factor in business life.
If you consider the Chinese in California
a menace at 75 cents a day, how will the
world regard them at 6 and 10, a they
are found at home? Suppose the ell'ect
of the war should drive them into man
ufacture, for instance, how will other
nation compete with their cheap labor
and habits of abstemiousness, which en
able them to live for so little? Are we
of this country, for instance, to meet a
wage of 6 or 10 cent a day with a simi
lar wago as the only mean of successful
competition. We talk of overproduction
now: what will it lie with China as a
great producer instead of a great mar
ket?" General Wallace thinks that the per
ception of thi possibility by- European
nation will compel them to interfere to
bar the progress of the victorious Japan
ese before they go too far.
American Cattle Abroad.
Wasiiinoton, October 81. Secretuty
Gresham has made a very strong repre
sentation to the German government as
to the injustice to the United States of
the order prohibiting the importation of
American cattle and fresh meatintoUer
many. He has protested the action wbs
taken without Riiflicient evidence of the
existence of disease among the cattle ex
ported from the United States or its con
tagious character or harmful effects.
There is some reason to hope our gov
ernment will lie ablo to secure a suspen
sion of the order, for a time at least, to
afford an opportunity for further inves
tigation, anil one reason for this belief
is founded on the change in the German
Chancellorship.

A GERMAN UPHEAVAL
Chancellor and Prime Minister
Have Resigned.
THAT OF CAPB1VI IS ACCEPTED
Decided Difference Kegardlng th Treat
ment of Social lm Drought About th
Crl.la-lmmedlete Cau.e of th Chaa
sellor'i He.lgnatlon Mot Clear.
Bkblin, October 29. The report that
Chancellor von Caprivi has banded his
resignation to the Emperor and that it
has been accepted is confirmed. Count
Eulenburg, President of the Ministerial
Council, has also resigned. Dr. Miquel,
the Prussian Finance Minister, it is rw
mored, has been appointed President of
the Council, and Prince von Hohenlohe
Hchillingsfurst, Governor of Alsace-Lorraine,
bus been offered the Chancellor
ship, Before offering the Chancellor
ship to Prince Hohenlohe the Emperor
consulted with the envoys from Bavaria,
Wurtemburg, Saxony and Baden. It is
reported that Prince Hohenlohe declined
the office, owing to his age. Tlie Em
peror has summoned General Count
Waldergee, the political soldier, who was
conspicuous in the final intrigues against
Bismarck. The general inference is that
he intends to make him Cuprivi's suc
cessor. Should Waldersee become Chan
cellor, the oflice of Prussian Premier
probably would be given him shortly
after, and thus tlie division of the two
posts, which was effected at the time of
the school bill crisis, would be ended.
There is a rumor that General Bronsart
von Schellendorf is a candidate for the
Prussian Premiership 'and the Chancel
lorship. Either of these Generals would
be acceptable to the Conservatives, who
have become totally estranged from the
government nnder the Caprivi regime.
The immediate cause of Chancellor
von Caprivi's resignation is not entirely
clear. It is known, however, that the
differences between him and Count Bo
tbo Eulenburg had grown too sharp to
be ignored or compromised. Caprivi at
first waa thoroughly opposed to severe
ateps againat the Social Democrats and
the anarchists, while Eulenburg favored
extreme measure. Under pressure from
the Emperor the Chancellor is said to
have yielded several points during the
week, but bis master only led him into
trouble with the Federal Ministers, in
whose Council he presided. Several
Minister opposed his proposal that the
Reichstag amend the penal code so as to
deal more severely with the Socialists.
The individual State, they said, should
be left to legislate within their own bor
ders for the suppression of Social Democ
racy and anarchy. The Chancellor waa
equally embarrassed when the question
of financial reforms were broached. The
envoys made several demands for changes
in the financial relations of the States
to tlie Empire, but the Chancellor was
manifestly out of sympathy with all of
them.
Caprivi is believed to have been crushed
between the Euiperor and the Federal
envoys, not gaiag lar enough to suit the
former and going too far to suit the lat
ter. The difficulties of his position Were
increased, moreover, by the intrigues of
Miquel and Eulenburg, who for more
than a year have spared no effort to dis
credit his politics and diminish his in
fluence with the crown. One of the
Chancellor's last acta before offering his
resignation was to notify the Kelchs
Bank that the decree prohibiting ad
vances on Prussian stocks had been can
celled a no longer necessary on either
economic or political grounds. The Em
peror had arranged to leave Potsdam to
day to hunt in the neighborhood of
Blankenbur, but he gave up the trip in
view of the disruption of his Cabinet.
The Cologne Garotte says that the
Chancellor tendered his resignation to
Emperor William Tuesday, but that it
waa onlv accepted at an audience given
by his Majesty to Caprivi to-day. The
Emperor endeavored to induce Caprivi
to withdraw his resignation, but the
Chancellor wa obdurate and refused to
do so. William is credited with holding
the opinion that the separation of the
Chancellorship and the Russian Premier
ship has been a failure, and that it is
imperative to reunite them. Among the
many reports as to the cause of the crisis
is one that Caprivi displeased the Em
peror by expressing disapproval of his
Majesty's speech at the recent presenta
tion of colors to 132 regiments. The
Emperor at that time hinted that the
half battalion would soon be made full
ones. The Chancellor not only disap
proved of this speech, but also opposed
the publication of it in the Reichs An
zeiger. It is due to his opposition thai
tlie Bpeech has not yet appeared in of
ficial form.
She Protected Her Home.
' Peiiby, O. T., October 29. A terribU
duel was fought between Miss Agnei
Jones, a young lady about 21 years ol
age, and Sam Bartell, 35 years old, on s
homestead twenty miles north of hen
yesterday. Miss Jones obtained the
homestead when the Cherokee Btretch
was opened in September, 1803, and had
built a neat home. Two months ago sh
went to visit her parents in Kansas, and
Sam Bartell jumped the claim and
moved his effects into Miss Jones' house.
M iss Jones returned yesterday, and found
her home occupied. She gave orders foi
it to be vacated at once, which Bartell
refused to do, and she pulled a revolve!
from under her apron and opened fir
on Bartell. Bartell returned the tire,
but missed the woman. Three of hei
shots took effect in Kartell's body, from
the effects of which. he will die.
Th Ortilaar Olympla.
8an Francisco, October 29. The prog
ress made on the 5,800-ton cruiser Olym
pla during the past two weeks has been
very great, and three weeks more will
witness her delivery to the United States
naval authorities all ready to assume a
position among the crack ships of the
white navy. Her armament will all be
put in before she leaves the works. All
of it haa been received but five of the
five-inch guns and two of the eight-inch
guns. These are supposed to be on the
way. The crew of the Oly mpia will prob
ably be supplied from several of the ves
sels now laid vp at Mare Island, but
moBtly from Eastern enlistments. All
told, the cruiBer will require upward of
460 men.
PACIFIC CAULK.
IJi.outtloo of Brltlah Project by a Baa
Vraoci.oo' Paper.
Sam Fbanoisco, October 28.-i-The Bul
letin this evening says i For some time
past British and Canadian contractors
have been figuring on plans for a cable
from Vancouver to Australia via Hawaii.
The cost of this cable is estimated in
round numbers at $10,000,000. One of
the leading promoters of this cable en
terprise is Stanford Fleming. He advo
cates government ownership, believing
better service will be secured thereby.
He is responsible for most of the esti
mates tbat have been made. Whether
the British government is to own the
Pacific cable or it is to be in the hands
of a chartered company, it is certain that
the government is behind the enterprise.
The news by the last steamer from Ha
waii ia that the British commission,
represented by Fleming, wants the lease
of Neckar Island, a small island about
600 miles from Hawaii, and also wants a
subsidy of (36,000 a year from the Ha
waiian government for fifteen year.
What the British government really
wants is a cession of this island. A short
time ago it was literally "No man's
land." The Hawaiian government took
possession of it and claimed it by right
if occupation. It did not want British
occupation of an island so near to Ha
waii. The present Hawaiian govern
ment has had a great deal of trouble by
reason of British antagonism in the isl
ands. It does not want any further in
terference. Next to an American cable between
this port and Honolulu Hawaiian
might appreciate a cable between Van
couver and Australian ports with a mid
way station at Hawaii. They will never
grant outright foot of land for such a
purpose. They will do nothing to dis
turb the relation of the Republic to the
United States. It is not probable that
there would be any formidable obstacle
in the way of landing a marine cable, say
at Honolulu. Private individuals could
make the necessary leases of land, and
the Hawaiian government would prob
ably grant all needful protection. If all
that is really wanted is a safe and con
venient place to land a marine cable on
Hawaiian soil, there would be no need
of the cession of any territory. The ca
ble proposed would be a good thing for
the promoters. That good thing can be
secured without concession of a foot ol
territory to any foreign power.
WITHOUT A PABALLKI,.
Th Bad Plight of a Young Immigrant
German Girl.
Chicago, October 28. For nearly a
month a German girl, who left the city
of her birth to come to Chicago, has been
detained by the immigration officials at
Ellis Island, New York, and a petition
is being prepared for presentation to
Secretary Carlisle, asking that the girl
be permitted to land. The girl is Louise
Hessing. No other case just like hers
was ever brought to the attention of the
immigration officials. Louise, who is 25
years old, was left an orphan in the city
of Chemnitz. For several years she
made a living as a domestic. A year or
so ago Louise became engaged to Mas
Luther, a young mechanic of Chemnitz.
The ban were published in church and
the wedding day set, but Luther betrayed
her and ran away. The girl has but one
relative, and that is Mrs. Mina Maellei
of this city. Mrs. Mueller went to Ger
many to look after her sister, and decid
ed to bring her to Chicago and give her a
home. They landed in New York Sep
tember 27, but Immigrant Commissioner
Senner refused to permit the girl to con
tinue her journey and ordered her back
to Germany. The Commissioner's action
was based Bolely on the condition of the
girl. Mr. Mueller hnrried to Chicago,
and procured bonds to guarantee that
her sister would never become a public
charge. This did not satisfy the Com
missioner, and the latter refuses to
change this ruling. There is no law that
applies to the case except the statute ex
cluding female of immoral character,
and the girl's friends offered testimony
to prove that previous to her misfortune
her character was of the best. The of
fered testimony was rejected, and the
friends determined to appeal to Secre
tary Carlisle. The petition has been
signed by numerous friends of the Muel
ler family, and also bears the signatures
of Mayor Hopkins, Collector M. J.Rus
sell, Collector Mize and Postmaster Ho
eing. The position of the Commissioner
is that no bond can be given that will
guarantee that the child, still unborn,
will never become a public charge. The
girl's friends have ample means, and are
people of the best character.
Stolen Pouch Keeorered.
Nw York, Octolier 27. L. O. Weir,
President of the Adams Express Com
pany, received a pouch to-day contain
ing bonds and other valuable documents
which had been stolen from the compa
ny's safe in the train robbery at Acquia
Creek, Va., October 12. The pouch was
one of the express bags taken from the
train by the robbers, who shoved their
booty into it. The money was afterward
abstracted, and the pouch with contents
was hidden in the woods near Calverton,
Va. Searcey. the captured robber who
turned State's evidence, revealed the
hiding place, and the pouch was secured.
These valuable papers reduce the loss of
the express company by the robbery to
less than $5,000. .
Th Price of Coal Advanced.
New Yobk, October 27. The regular
monthly meeting of the anthracite coal
operators was held here to-day. Those
who attended were unanimous in ex
pressing satisfaction with the nature of
the business transacted. Said one oper
ator: "The West will need a lot of coal
this season, and it will have to secure the
commodity before winter closes naviga
tion on the great lakes. It was agreed
to-day that prices be increased 25 cents
on all regular grades of coal and 15 cents
on broken coal. Production was not re
stricted." Th Clenfuego Case.
Washington, October 27. It can be
set down as a fact that Colonel Cien
fuegos, member of General Ezeta's staff,
held for extradition by Judge Morrow
of San Francisco, will not be returned to
San Salvador by the United States. It
appears Judge Morrow held Cienfuego
for attempted murder, while the charge
on which San Salvador sought his ex
tradition was actual murder. This is a
discrepancy fatal to the application, for
in extradition proceedings the common
law principle obtains that the indict
ment must correspond with the real offense.
UNDER SHERMAN ACT.
Sugar Trust Case Before the
Supreme Court
WHAT THE GOVERNMENT CLAIMS
It Cam up en th Appeal of th Gov
ernment From th Decision of th
Lower Court Virtual Monopoly of th
ugar-Beflnlng Bollneaa. -
WASHWGTOW, October 26. Argument
was begun in the United States Supreme
Court to-day on the appeal of the gov
ernment from the decision of the United
States Circuit Court for the eastern dis
trict of Pennsylvania in favor of the
American Sugar Company, the E. C.
Knight and the Spreckels and Franklin
refineries, against which the government
brought suit under the Sherman anti
trust law. Ex-Solicitor-General Phil
lips opened for the government and John
Johnson for the refiners. The present
suit was brought originally with the in
tention of having the sale of the prop
erty and business of the Knight, the
Spreckels, the Franklin and the Dele
ware Sugar House Companies to the
American Sugar Refining Company de
clared void and illegal. The attorneys
for the government in their argument
sought to show that the four Phila
delphia companies prior to March, 1892,
manufactured independently of the
American Company 33) per cent of the
total sugar manufactured in the United
States, competing with the American
Company, and tbat by obtaining con
trol of the stock of these companies the
Americad Company obtained a virtual
monopoly of the sugar-refining business
in the United States, and was thus en
abled to limit the production and in
crease the price of refined sugar. The
consolidation was claimed to have been
a combination and conspiracy to effect
an illegal object.
PROJECTED 8TEAKEB LINK.
Manager KcMelll Figuring on Trana
pacta Boat.
Fobtlaad, October 26. It is probable
that some time this winter or early in
the spring a steamer line will be inaug
urated between Portland and China and
Japan. Mr. McNeill since his appoint
ment as receiver of the Oregon Railway
and Navigation Company haa seen the
advantages that his road would have in
possessing such a line, and he has been
earnestly working to bring the mat
ter to a satisfactory conclusion. As yet,
however, the line can be said to be only
ander consideration. None of the de
tails have been arranged, and it is not
even known to a certainty that the line
will be established. This matter came
up on Mr. McNeill's former visit here,
and was suggested by the large output of
flour from this section and the ready
market for the product on the Asiatic
side. Since the Oregon Railway and
Navigation Company's alliance w ih the
Great Northern the project hai been
presented in a different light. An East
ern outlet is thus afforded for Asiatic
freight, and there is also the assurance
that the connecting road will further the
scheme to the fullest extent in its power;
something the Union Pacific did not do
for the Upton line of steamers. The
Great Northern would have an advan
tage in connecting with a Portland line
of steamers, as there are already two
lines established on the Sound to divide
the business of porta there.

Th Ivanho' Paea eager and Crew If ay
be Found.
Tacoka, October 26. Over twenty
shipmasters in Tacoma and Seattle have
been interviewed regarding the missing
ship Ivanhoe's chances of reaching port.
Not one expressed any hope tbat she
will ever be seen again, though more
than half expressed the belief that both
the passengers and crew will eventually
be found, lor they say that, unless the
Ivanhoe collided with some other vessel
and both were sunk immediately, the
Ivanhoe would not be liable to meet
with such disaster as would prevent the
launching of the lifeboats and the escape
of the crew. Speaking of the Ivanhoe's
condition, the captain of the outside tug
said that for several years she had been
in a bad condition, and that there was
hardly an hour, when she was loaded,
but that her pumps were not inconstant
nee.
MEEDS MONET BADLY.
Chloago'a Credit Attacked by a Syndi
cate of Local Banks.
Chicago, October 26. The credit of
the city of Chicago was attacked yester
day by syndicate of local banks, which
recently advanced $600,000 as a tempo
rary demand loan in anticipation of tax
collections. Several banks asked imme
diate repayment of the loan. Controller
Ackerman complied, and now there is
no money on hand to meet the October
Say roll. Not only does the Controller
eel are that the city has no money to
meet its obligations, but he openly as
serts that there is none in sight. Since
the Kent resolution was adopted by the
Finance Committee, casting a cloud "upon
the authority of the Controller to borrow
money, the banks have made constant
demands on the city for repayment. Up
to date $300,000 has been returned. Two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars, not
enough to meet the pay roll, is still on
hand, but a great part of that will prob
ably be paid back before the end of the
week.
. Turkish Ambassador to Austria.
Vienna, October 26. The Politische's
correspondent says that the Sultan has
appointed Ali Ghaleb Beyk Turkish Am
bassador to Persia, to represent him in
Vienna. This closes the misunderstand
ing which followed the appointment of
Nouri Bey to the post of Turkish Ambas
sador at this court, Austria declined to
receive Nouri Bey, though giving him
no satisfactory reason for her action.
The Sublime Port believed that his par
entage was the cause of the trouble, as
he ia the son of a French Count, Chat

. DAYS OF '49 AGAIN.
Great Excitement Over th Mw Aus
tralian Gold Field.
8as Fbamcisco, October 29. The
steamer Alameda, which arrived to-day,
brought only three passengers from Aus
tralia. This waa owing largely to the
fact that nearly everybody was on the
rush to the gold fields of Western Aus
tralia, Coolgardie. While thesteamer was
in Sydney harbor over 1,000 miners ar
rived from the New Zealand gold fields
en route for the eldorado. Some of the
finds reported are enormous, and in one
instance four cuts of rocks yielded 555
ounces of gold. The Londonderry mine,
one of the first discovered, was sold to
an English syndicate just before the
steamer sailed' for $1,250,000. One of the
passengers from Sydney was James Mc
Cormick, a miner. He stopped off at
Honolulu, but told the other passengers
that the new gold field was every bit as
rich a a it was made out to be, and that
it would rival the days of '49 in Califor
nia. According to him the lack of water
was the great drawback, n hen ne- was
at Coolgardie a quart of the precious
fluid cost 50 cents, a pound of meat 60
cent and 100 pounds of flour $25. The
majority of the miners were doing well,
but the suffering, owing to the scarcity
of water, was very great. Just before
the Alameda sailed a camel-load of ore,
nearly all gold, was brought into Sydney
from the Wealth of Nations mine. Its
arrival caused great excitement.
HOW THE CHINESE COME.
Government Ofllclal Thought to be In
Collusion With Fraud.
Sas Famcisco, October 29. M. B.
Hurley, special government agent at
Chicago, has been on the Pacific Coast
for months investigating the Chinese
certificate frauds. He is now in Los An
geles. Investigations in Washington,
Oregon and California have revealed the
fact that thousands of fraudulent regis
tration certificates are afloat. It is esti
mated that there are fully 4,000 of these
bogus certificates in this State. They
have all been used, but those not used
are for sale by Chinese and white agents.
Information in Hurley's possession will
probably lead to several arrests. Fraud
haa not only been perpetrated: py we
printing of fraudulent certificates, but
there have been many forgeries and sub
stitutions of names and pictures. The
common characteristics ol the Chinese
makes it easy to substitute the photo
craDh of one man for another. In case
where the registered Chinese have died
or gone to China this deception has been
frequently practiced. There is little
doubt tbat men in the government serv
ice have been in collusion with the vend
ers of these fraudulent certificates, and
it is intimated that there will be arrest
of several officers who have been recreant
to the government's trust.
RETALIATION BEGUN.
-a
Importation of Freeh American Beef and
Cattle Prohibited by Germany.
Washington, October 28. The Ger
man Ambassador yesterday formally no
tified the Secretary of State that in con
sequence of the introduction of Texai
fever by means of two shipments from
New York the importation of fresh beei
and cattle from the United States to
Germany will shortly be prohibited. The
Department of State official declined to
comment on the matter. It is thought,
however, that this marks the commence
ment of a policy of commercial retalia
tion against the United States on ac
count of discrimination against German
beet sugar in the new tariff law, as it
seemed that no cattle affected with Texas
fever or any similar complaint .could
have been shipped from New York as
claimed by the German officials. No re
ports have been received which indicate
that this disease or any other could have
recently been exported from the United
States. No complaints have been re
ceived from other countries. The De
partment of Agriculture will be called
noon to investigate the complaint made
by Germany, and Secretary Gresham, it
is expected, will send a protest against
Germany's action to that government
through' the American Ambassador at
Berlin. .
BROWNING'S REPORT.
What th Commlaaloner of Indian Affaire
Bay of Oregon Matter.
Washingtok, October 27. In the an
nual report of the Commissioner of In
dian Affairs there Is more or less about
the local Indians in each State. Several
matters of especial interest in Oregon
are given. It is shown that the allot
ments on the Warm Springs reservation
are about completed, and that at Klam
ath the special agent has been instructed
to rush the work along as fast as possi
ble. An agent has been instructed to
investigate the rights of the Yakima
Indiana to fish in the Columbia at The
Dalles. This right is claimed under a
treaty ol ISoo. l ne report oi tne com
mission appointed to consider the dam
age to lands taken by the Blue Mount
ain Irrigation and Improvement Com
pany on the Umatilla reservation haa
not as yet been received. . The Indians
are expected to receive some benefit from
the irrigation ditch. The only Indian
lands in Oregon which are leased are on
the Umatilla reservation, where forty
two farming and grazing leases have been
made, inese range in amount irom.
seventy-three to 280 acres. The prevail
ing price is $1 per acre per annum,;
though one or two pieces are rented for
less. One of the allotments is leased
for t2 ser acre. The leases in about
equal numbers are for the periods of
one, two or three years. No map of def
inite location of the Albany and Astoria
Railroad Company's right of way across
tne Urana Konde agency nas as yet oeen
filed with the Department of the Inte
rior. The Indian Commissioner laments
over the' recent decision of Judge Bel
linger, and quotes Agent Brentano as
saying that the Indians have become
very vicious since that decision. He also
regrets that the matter cannot be taken
to the Supreme Court. In United States
criminal cases, where the court haa de
cided against the government, the gov
ernment cannot appeal.
NO CORK LOG BAFTS.
They Are Not Suited to th Long Facia
' Swell.
Bah F-ahcisco, October 27. W. E.
Baines, one of the owners of the log raft
which is now scattered along the coast .
north of Cape Blanco, ia in the city.
"This makes the second venture ol
the kind which has failed," said he in
an interview. " I don't think that an
other raft will be constructed on this
coast. Such things do very well on the
Atlantic, bnt we have a long swell here,
which severely tries a log structure and
makes its transportation over long ocean
distances extra hazardous. The swell
was partially to blame for the loss of our
rait, a norm west storm struct it ana,
acting upon the swell, really made two
seas. Besides that we only had one tug,
when we ought to have had two or three
to do the towing. The cigar-shape is
the only practical one I know of, but
there is not any particular model that
will resist the motion of the Pacific. To
get a long raft here from the lumber
country up north is a mere matter of
luck. From that fact I am led to believe
that the present system of sawing lum
ber on the ground and shipping it south
oa schooners will be perpetuated."
SORRY HB DIDN'T MCBDIB.
Desperate Crime Which Netted Sixty
Cent and Arreet.
Sacbaxinto, October 27. At noon to
day, while E. L. Hawk, a real estate
agent, was in bis oflice, a young man
hurriedly entered and, presenting a pis
tol at his head, ordered him to open bis
safe. Hawk parleyed with the fellow,
telling him there was not a cent in it.
The robber said :
" Well, produce what you have in your
pockets and do it - quick."
Hawk produced 60 cents, and threw it
on the counter. The robber picked it
up, and backed out of the office. He
walked down Fourth street to J, followed
by Hawk, and at the corner of Third
street, seeing a policeman, he jumped
into a buggy standing at the sidewalk
and drove away. The policeman ran
after him, caught up to the buggy and
placed the man under arrest. ' The rob
ber pulled his revolver, but the police
man caught the barrel and, assistance
arriving, wrenched it from him and
handcuffed him. He waa taken to the
city prison, where he gave the name ol
Frank Jones. At the station he said he
was a fool not to have lulled the police
man. .
To Horrible to be Real.
DcNDia, October 27. At the begin
ning of August the whalers Aurora,Ba
laena and Esquimaux were in Prince
Begent Inlet searching for white whales.
They steamed in Elvin Bay, and a party
from the Baiaena went on shore. They
had not gone far when they came upon
a ghastly ring of corpses, the remains of
Esquimaux who had evidently died of .
starvation. Clean-picked bones and
partly devoured bodies revealed a story
of cannibalism. One corpse had been
beheaded, and the head was found thirty :
yards away from-the trunk at a place
where some one bad evidently made a
meal npon the flesh and brains. It is
supposed the party while traveling found
their progress checked by the setting in
of winter. One by one they had suo-
enmbed to hunger, and finally the
stronger in the futile efforts to save their
own lives were driven to eat the others.
Repressive Meaanres Considered.
Bkblin, OctobeY 27. The principal
Ministers of the Federal States of Ger
many met in Berlin to-day to discuss
imperial measures for combatting the
elements of revolution. Chancellor von
Caprivi presided. The representatives
of Bavaria and Saxony opposed the pro
posed measures. One of the Bavarian
Ministers declared that Bavaria's own
laws regarding political societies were
absolutely sufficient for her needs and
therefore Bavaria would object to any
bill aiming at imperial control. The
speaker instanced the recent dissolving;
of two Bavarian trade unions to show
the effect of the Bavarian law. The
other Southern Ministers evidenced
great confidence in the Chancellor's con-
wpuu. ui uie inumuuu.
