' HINTS AT Til KIR RELATIONS Hhe Waa Uueen of a Student.' Itall and la Now a l'opulur Aetraas at the Follea-llergere, UruHHuU, Out. 1.

Kinileune D'Aluiioon, as she ntylei herself, first cinno under the publio eye in Paris two winters ago. Bhe was then an artist model, well known in the Latin quarter, whero she pi wed for the ensemble. A studonts1 ball waa or gajiiiietl in the Boulevard de Clichy under the title of Leg Bui des Quartre Arts. Emiloiiiio, on account of her plastic perfections, wag selected as the queen. Her appearance created a seuaation, even at a Paris Btudouts' ball, fcihe was carried in triumphal procession around the hall attired only in a gauze aoarf. Members of the Social Purity League, suspecting from the flourish df trumpets with which the ball was her alded, that there might lie ground for their interference, were present and the result was that Emilenne and one or two other models were prosecuted for outraging publio dooenny. The question whether the presence, lightly clud, at a gathering of students, of a model accustomed to pose before them for the "altogether," could be termed an outrago upon publio decency was warmly discussed, both in court aud in the press. It was proved, how ever, that many persons who were in no way connected with art had paid for admission. Euiileune was fined and sentenced to two or three days' imprisonment, but escaped the latter by virtue of the Ber enger act relative to first offenders. She was immediately engaged by the management of the Folies-Bergre to star iu the ballet entitled 'Le Bal Des (juartre Arts, and drew crowded houses throughout the season. Since then she has abandoned the studio fur the variety stage, and during the past Bummer has beeen the chief attraction at the Casino at Troutville, the most fushionable seaside resort iu France.

The building is pronounced ab solutely fireproof. The mam entrance is thirty-six feet wide, opening direct ly from the sidewalk. The lobby is finished in mahogany and floored in mosaics, while broad marble stairoas es on either side lead to the uppe: floors. The main floor, rising iu five tiers, is constructed on the cantilever plan, so that there are only two sup. porting soagliola, on the main floor aud the third balcony.

WRECK OF THE HUMBOLDT. She Struck a I'erfeet Neat of Hock. Hunken aiid Projeetlng;. Eureka, Cel., Oct. 1. The latest new from the wreck of the Humboldt was received this evening, when' the tug Kauger returned from the scene, bringing Chief Engineer Foord, of the steamer. The steamer is two miles south of Point Uorda, aud the locality is a per. loot nest of rocks, sunken and project' ing. A lifeboat was sent to the wreck, and, finding all hands safely on shore, took off the mail sacks. Chief Foord. in his account of the disaster, is loud In praises of tho stauchncss of the ves sol. Had it not been for the strength of the steamer, it is probable some, if not all, those aboard would have been lost. The vessel went on the rocks at 8:45 Saturday morning, and, although con tinuully pounding and grinding on the rocks, pumps were able to keep the wa ter under control until 11:15 A. M. By that time the passengers had all been put ashore, aud only the crew remain ed. The water put out the fires. The crew then made preparations to leave the vessel. A surprising thing about the wreck was the absence of all panic. When she struck tho passengers were awaken ed and told to dress, lifeboats were cleared away, and a man stationed at each to prevent any premature at tempts to leave the ship. This precau tion, however, seemed unnecessary, aud, instead of excited men and screaming women, the passengers act ed as though being wrecked was an every-day occurrence. At 8 o'clock breakfast was served in the saloon, as usual, and most of the passengers ate heartily, after which preparations were made to leave the ship. One boat at a time was sent off, women first, but all succeeded in land ing safely, and, barring the wetting, suffered no inconvenience. By this time a nasty sea had commenced to come up, and when the crew oommeno' ed to go ashore, trouble began. Of four boats in use, two were smashed on the rocks, but the occupants succeeded in scrambling ashore. Finally only the captain and three men were left aboard. These took the last lifeboat, but were compelled to pull out to sea, where they remained some time, get ting ashore during a smooth spell. Chief Foord professes to know noth ing of the cause of the wreck, but sup poses it was due to the fog and current. Richard Sweassey, managing owner, who returned from the scene of the wreck on the tug, said that he had given up the steamer as a total loss. The vessel was insured for $20,000. MOB OF ANGRY DEPOSITORS. They Are After a Bank Prealdent, Who Will lie Lynched If Caught. Perry, O. T., Oct. 1. A messenger from Pawnee, twenty-five miles east of here, says that President and Cash ier Borry, of the Farmers' & Citizens' bank, of that town, is being pursued by a mob of angry depositors, and will be lynched if caught. It leaked out that the bank would not open its doors Saturday, and a bill for a receiver was being prepared. The depositors imme' diatoly ran an attachment on the bank building and assets to the smount of 180,000. C. L. Berry, the president and cashier of the bank, was found, and tried to explain the failure, but the people would not hear him, and, had it not been for the officers, he would have been mobbed on the spot. Berry loft, and the crowd became more furious, and when the sheriff opened the safe and found only $20 or $30 in cash the mob got beyond the ooutrol of the officers and broke for Berry's house. He had been notified, however, and had made his escape. A number of men, the messenger says, mounted horses and took after him. If Berry is caught he will be lynched. . Harrlaon In Literature. Philadelphia, Oot. 1. Ex-President Harrison has, as previously stated, en tered the literary field. He is now en gaged at his Indianapolis home on a series of articles to be called "This Country of Ours," the publication of which will Boon begin in the Ladies' Home Journal, of this city. It is Gen eral Harrison's purpose to explain to women what the United States govern ment means, viewed from its inner workings. He will explain the origin and meaning of the constitution upon which the national laws are based; what the different executive and judic iary departments mean, and how they are divided; the power of the president and of representatives and senators, and will outline how oongress legis lates, what our relations with foreign nations signify, and what the jury system is. Political opinion will not enter these records. Indiana Ready for the Warpath. Hennepin, I. T., Oct 1. A report has readied here that the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians, on the reserva tion west of here, have become ugly and are holding war dances and disre garding the agent's orders to keep on the reservation. Runners from Ana darko are in communication with them, and it is said that Kiowas are ready for the warpath. The cattlemen in western Oklahoma are thought to be partly the cause of the trouble, as well as dissatisfaotion with the agent, who is very strict Mora Claim Money, Washington, Oot. 1. Secretray Ol- ney received information today that the Mora draft, for almost $1,500,000, had been paid in London today by the Spanish financial agent The money was paid in gold and will probably be transferred to this oonntry by cabled drafts and placed to Secretary Olney'g oredit in the New York subtreasnry. PACIFIC NORTHWEST. Condensed Telegraphic Re ports oi Late Events. BRIEF SPARKS FROM THE WIRES Happening of Intereat In the Town and Cltle of Oregon, Waahlngtoa and Idaho. Six schooners were loading lumber on Coquille, Or., last week. Edwin Eels has been agent for the Puyallup Indians for nearly twenty four years. The Herrick cannery at The Dalles, Or., has put np about 5,000 oases of salmon so far. Governor McGraw and the military board favor, for military reasons, giv ing Spokane the new artillery com pany. Fair catches of salmon are being still mado on Coos river, Or., although the run of fish is slacking op some what The Burns, Or., town oounoil has contracted for the purchase of a fire en gine to cost $1,275, delivered at Hunt ington, or Ontario. A row among the gamblers in Pa louse, Wash., led the city council to conclude that gambling should be broken up. It will act upon the con clusion. Spokane has organized a new infan-. try company and elected these officers: Captain, Emery P. Gilbert; first lien tenant, Joseph M. Moore; second lieu tenant, R. A. Koontz. The contract of the city of New Whatcom, Wash., with the Bellingham Bay Improvement Company for light ing the city for one year at the rate of $100 a month has been ratified by the council. Dog fennel dust interfered with the harvesters about the machines in Sher man county, Or., this season. The clothes of the workers would become filled with it, and the wrist, neck and body were badly blistered. The debt of Curry connty, Or., is about $40,000, and draws 8 per cent interest The debt was incurred in building a good road from one end of the oounty to the other. The rate of taxation is $3.50 on $100 of the asses sed valuation. A sawing plant has been fitted up in Tacoma for cutting lumber into blocks to be used in paving Pacific avenue. The block-cutting machine can cut seven blocks at a stroke, 5,000 an hour, 50,000 a day, or enough to lay 400 lin eal feet of paving on one side of the avenue. The other day fully 100 people wit nessed an exhibition of Cunningham & Harter's horseshoeing machine, in Hoppner, Or. The machine is made to hold the wildest cayuse without in jury to him or those shoeing the horse. The trial was fully satisfactory to all, says the Heppner Gazette. Settlers in the Lake country, Or., are anxiously awaiting the survey of that oonntry, which will be made this fall. Work in that section may then be look ed for, as people are adverse to putting substantial improvements on nnsurvey ed land. A townsite will be laid off at the Narrows in the near future. The Astoria News says that it may be authoritatively stated that the firm of Dickson & Co. has been awarded the contract for building the drawbridge pier and trestlework from Young's bay to Astoria, and that Corey Bros. & Co., will do the first ten miles of grading and tunneling work east of Tongue point The total valuation by the assessor of the property of Malheur county is $1,138,736. Of this, $113,843 is ex empt, leaving the taxable property $1,026,898. The grand jury of Curry county, Or., has recommended the ap pointment of three oapable persons to expert the records and accounts of the different oounty offices. Joh Considine, of Spokane, has lost the first point in his fight to maintain his right to employ females in his the ater. The case came up on defendant's motion for a writ of habeas corpus, and was heard by Judge Buck. After the argument of counsel on each side, he court held that Considine was le gally held, and denied the writ of hab eas oorpus. Yakima, Wash., people hope to ob tain a pardon for Frank Lavigne, who was sentenced to thirty years for kill ing Tex Bagwell. The effort is based on a recent decision of the supreme court that if a person is arrested for murder he must be either convicted or acquitted of that oharge, and if he is oonvioted of murder the sentence can not be for manslaughter. G. F. Billings has on exhibition at his offloe in insurance block, Ashland, Or., the peach the surpasses the record for size. It is of the twenty-ounce cling variety, and lacks but 1 8-4 ouuees of weighing twenty ounces. The big peach was grown by B. Beach, of Ashland. It has been preserved in a glass jar for exhibition, with several other smaller ones (one of the latter weighing 16 8-4 ounces), and they will probably be sent to the fairs. The earnings of the ladies of the First Methodist churoh in Spokane for the year ending August 81, 1895, ag gregated $1,908.94. For six months continually the ladies served meals in the rear of the old church to workmen engaged on the new church. Five hun dred dollars worth of meals were fur nished. Another important feature of their work was the lecture course, which put nearly $400 into the treasury. DUTY OF SURVEYORS. Kot Required to Keep a.Record of 8ur veye of Highway. Olympia, Wash., Sept. 80. The county surveyors were given a knock out blow in the supreme court today by the reversal of the judgment in the case of the state ex rel. huth, respond' ent, vs. Prather, appellant, which in' volvad a construction of the law passed by the last legislature relating to coun ty surveyors. The court said: "Construing section 8, chapter lxxvii, laws of 1895, 'which provides that all field notes, etc, shall be col looted by the surveyor, perfected and recorded in his office, in the same manner as the records of surveys are required to be made by the provisions of this act, in connection with section 5 of the same act, which excepts from the record which the surveyor is au thorized to make surveys of highways, the exception of section 5 must be con sidered, to apply also to the provisions of section 8. The supreme court has reversed the judgment in the case of Howe, appel lant, vs. Ella Barto, respondent. The question here involved was whether or not the courts must give force to cer tain sections in the freeholders' charter of Seattle relating to tax deeds. Such sections provide that deeds executed by the proper officers, upon sale of land for taxes assessed, as provided in said article, shall prima facie establish the fact that the proceedings provided for in said article and recited in deed must have been complied with, as provided for in the churter. If the city has power to provide for a conyevance of property, the supreme court can see no reason why it is not competent for it to provide, within constitutional limits, what shall be the effect of the convey ance. The deed was executed for the purpose of conveying to the purchaser the property described. If the charter could provide that it shcnld have such force, there seems to be no good reason why it could not provide that it should have such further force as to prove itself. In the opinion of the court, it was within the power of the city to enact as a part of its charter the sec tions under consderation, and that it was the duty of the court ot give force to to these provisions, so far, at least, as they provided for prima facie force of the conveyance. The case was re manded for a new trial. NEGROES MAY HOLD OFFICE. So Decide South Carolina' Constitu tional Convention Columbia, S. C, Sept 80. A sen sational debate was had in the consti tutional convention over a measure proposed by Colonel Robert Aldrich, of Barnwell, that in all elections for members of the legislature ofily white citizens should be eligible. He made an ingenious argument to show that while the 14 th and 15th amendments to the United States constitution con ferred the right of citizenship and suffrage upon the negro, it did not con fer upon him the right to hold office. Senator Tillman led the fight against the measure, and said it would be both foolish and idiotic to do such a thing. A motion was made to postpone the discussion until tomorrow, but Senator Tillman jumped to his feti and loudly exclaimed: "No, don't let it go to the world that we even took time to consider such a thing. It would be a oollossal blunder. It would ruin us. We are now trying to devise a law to retain white supremacy, and for God's sake, don't let ns do anything go idiotio as to jeopardize what we may accomplish. The supreme court would never sanc tion such a thing, nor would the senti ment of the country countenance it" Aldrich taunted Tillman when be ing afraid that the United States army would be sent to South Carolina, and said he had stood before it once and was never afraid. Tillman replied: . , "I am not afraid, Colonel, but I am no fool." A vote was finally taken and resulted in the defeat of the Aldrioh measure by 102 to 25. Medical Officer Retired. Washington, Sept. 80. Paymaster W. M. Maynadier, U. S. A., stationed at Sau Francisco, and Surgeon Wash ington Matthews, stationed in this city, have been retired on account of disability. Surgeon Matthews' retire ment will promote Assistant Surgeon Lewis Stesson to the rank of major, but no vacancies follow in either case. By this retirmement, however, the medical oorps is reduced to the limit number prescribed by congress, and any further retirements will create va cancies to be filled by civil appoint ments. French Spie A created. Leipsio, Sept 80. The Gericht Zei tung says that as a result of the arrest of a Frenchman and a German woman at Cologne, four Germans have been ar rested at Essen, Magdeburg and Ber lin, all oonnected with an extensive sys tem of espionage, promoted by the Frenoh, with the object of obtaining drawings of the defense works.

GREAT LUX ESTATE Charges of Incompetency Are Made Against Potter. ; ACCUSED OF RIOTOUS LIVING First Skirmish in the Legal Battle Be gun by the Lux Heirs to Se cure a Distribution. . San Francisco, Sept. 28. The first skirmish in the legal battle begun by the heirs of the late Charles Lux to se cure a distribution of his vast estate, took place before Judge Buck, at Red wood City, today. It was the time set for Jesse Sheldon Potter to show cause why he should not be permanently re moved as executor of the estate. A short time ago Henry Lux, of San Jose, a brother of the deceased million aire, filed an affidavit in the superior court containing serious allegations against the executor, and accompanied that document with a petition for the removal of Potter. The petitioner al leges that Potter, for more than five years past, had been a habitual drunk ard and was incapable of further man aging the estate; that he had wasted large sums in riotous and profligate living, and squandered much money at the racetrack and upon immoral wom en, it was further stated that he had fraudulently converted funds of the es tate to his own use, and that he was controlled by Henry Miller and aided the latter to prevent a settlement of the copartnership of Miller & Lux. When the case was called, Attorney Campbell presented written charges against the administration of Executor Potter. After reading the document, the attorneys for Potter held a consulta tion, at the conclusion of which they annonnced that they would be prepared to take up the hearing Tuesday morn ing. In the meantime they will pre pare a demurrer to the petition and will be ready to make their arguments at the date mentioned. . At the same time a date will be agreed upon for hearing of the evidence. ; The value of the property is said to be in excess of $10,000,000. An, in ventory of the possessions of the firm shows that the two men own 14,539, 200 acres of land situated in California, Oregon and Nevada. ., THE CONDITION OF CHINA. The Trade Last Tear Show That a' Re vival of Proeperityllas bet In, Washington, Sept. 28. The depart ment is in receipt of the report on the trade of China for 1894, prepared by the secretary of the British legation of Peking. The most remarkable feature of this trade for the year is found in the fact that, notwithstanding the Jap anese war and many other untoward circumstances, good results were ob tained, and a promising revival of com mercial prosperity has set in. Both exports and imports show an advanoe, and the customs revenue was increased by every division of trade with the one exception of Indian opium. The receipts from the exports' exceeded the maximum collected 'dur ing the most prosperous days of the tea trade. In accounting for this condi tion, the author of the report says that the ports were not blockaded during the war, and the usual calamities of war were wholly absent He therefore concludes that the revival was due to the "inherent stanchness of the Chi nese position. " Former stocks of im ports had been absorbed, and prices were on the whole so moderate and safe as to encourage orders. " 1 "Fluctuations in the value of sil ver," gays the report, "though occur ring, were less violent, and, while ex posing the importer to less risk, - also afforded more confidence to exporters. This is well illustrated by the results of the years' operations, almost every exporter done well. We may conclude that the revival, which, nnder ohanged conditions, we expect to continue, is the natural result of the range of val ues having reached a sound and safe basis and of moderate steadiness in ex change which bad reached a low stand ard." SATOLLI MUST DECIDE IT. Trouble Between a Portland Priest and the ArchbUhop ' Portland, Or., Oot 1. Portland's ecclesiastical row has been transferred to Washington. For weeks past Sister Williams, who has been conducting a girl's directory under the auspices of Archbishop Gross, has been the object of bitter attacks through the press by Father Kelly of Beaverton. . The rev erend father denounced her as a fraud, and offered to produce evidence that she was not a full-fledged sister. The archbishop ordered Father Kelly to oease his persecution and to go into retreat and repent This the reverend gentleman refused to do, and he waa unfrocked. He maintained that his suspension was irregular, and demand ed a rehearing. Failing to obtain this he quietly left for Washington to lay the matter before Monsignore Satolli. He left Tuesday night on the Union Paoiflo train. - The archbishop disappeared the next day, and today it was learned that he had taken the next train following Father Kelley's departure and is now speeding over the Northern : Paoiflo. Washington is also said to be his des tination, where the oase will probably come before Satolli. Tatan Rebels Defeated. Madrid, Sept 80.
