Washington, Jan. 8. The feature of the
republican senatorial caucus held today
es a discussion ot the advisability of
amending the Louse tariff bill by adding s
free-coinage amendment to It in the svnate.
This discussion was confined to the free
coinage wing cf the party, The result of
the meeting was the adoption of Quay's
resolution, uitioduoed yesterday, expens
ing the sense of the senate cauous to be
that the finance committee should report
the bill as it came from the house, with a
few verbal changes which will not alter the
meaning of the measure in any essential
feature. There was no roll-call upon this,
but there were a few dissenting voices.
There was no formal effort to bind the
senators to support the bill when It should
come before tbe senate, and it was left open
to amendments at that stage of the pro
proDamy oe accepted by our govern
menl, and as that decision is reason
ably certain to be different from the
claim made by Great Britain, another
request tor arbitration will be made.
That is to say. Great Britain will not
be asked to modify or reliquiah her
claim according to the finding of this
commission : but tbe fact that reason

It was while the advisability ot attempt
ing to secure a pledge ot support was under
consideration that the silver question came
up. It was sprung by a question as to what
the silver republicans would do In case a
tree-silver amendment should be offered to
tbe tariff bill iu the senate. Mitchell of
Oregon was tbe first to respond to this in
quiry. He said he would join the silver
forces in an effort to secure the adoption of
a free-coinage substitute for the house bond
bill, but that with the silver question dis
posed of in that connection, he would ad
rise that the silver republicans refrain from
participating to any effort which might be
made to amend the tariff bill by adding a
free-coinage pro vision .
There was a general expression of opin
ion that the bill, whether amended or un
amended in the senate, never would become
a law. Several senators expressed the
opinion that it could not receive executive
sanction.

In the First district Congressman
Hermann will have a very strong op
position to combat. Indeed Hermann
stock seems away below par just at
this writing, largely by reason of his
failure to become the chairman of the
bouse rivers and harbors committee.
Had he succeeded in securing that
much coveted prise there would have
been little doubt as to his success
for renominatioo. But as matters
now stand very few are willing to ad
mit that his chances are encouraging'.

prominently mentioned for Mr. Her

among them being T. T. Geer and C.
B. Moores, ex-speakers of tbe house of
representatives, and Tillman Ford,

county is lso favorably spoken of in
connection with the congressional
nomination.

which are being discussed more or
less, and for tbe two places first named
there are at present a oumber of candi

these aspirants, as well as of those

Chairman Warren, it is understood,
will call a meeting of the county cen

first of February, and from that time
forward until ihe county convention is
held aspirants for the different places
will be found without the use of a tele

that outside of tbe nominations for

will be much opposition in tbe county

Editors Hist: We are surprised and
disappointed at congress being so easily de
ceived by the president's message on the
Venezuelan question.
It seems to ns tbe document wss in
tended for another purpose foreign from
the one produced upon the people, to-wit:
"apparent loyalty to this government, and
a hostility to England to disabuse tbe
minds ot our people, it seemed necessary
especially, to unite the North and Bonth
politically, and also npon the wisdom and
justice of issuing bonds and retiring green-
backs and the Wilson bill."
From tbe tone of congress it appears they
were worked for sll that was oat, and that
perfidy wins. Our people are now suffering
for the bread of life, for tbe reason that the
gold has been absorbed by Europe and
Wall street, New York, and silvsr, our
great resource, positively demonetised by
law, but not justice. Show us tbe lew that
changes the ratio between silver and gold
can't do it. These hard times, with silver
desire for war on the part of the Amer-1 depreciated and retiring paper money will
lean people if it can be honorably
avoided; but they will insist urxm the
strict observance of the Monroe doc
trine, let the consequences be either
pleasant or unpleasant.

of England and America, with past exper

General Nelson A. Miles of the
United States army, whom, it will be
remembered Secretary Lamont dubbed
a newspaper soldier, bas been se
verely censured of late for the follow
ing utterance which appeared in one
of the Eastern newspapers recently in
regard to a probable war with Eng
land, for which utterance no doubt tbe
administration has been seriously con
sidering bis removal. He said :
"I have returned from an Inspection
tour of the southern coasts snd, like
those of other sections of the country,
I find them in an entirely defense
less condition. If war should break
out at present all we have in the
South, or in fact, anywhere else, with
a few exceptions, will be a lot of obso
lete guns on rotten carriages, which
would fall over before tbey could be of
any service. Tbe country is in a de
plorable condition for defense. There
are only three modern guns in posi
tion in this country. Two of these are
at the entrance to New York harbor
and the third at San Francisco. If
congress will make a liberal appropria
tion tberefor tbe coast could be put in
condition for defense in about two
years. The work would cost about
180,000,000. It would take in the
neighborhood of a year to manufacture
tbe tools necessary for the construc
tion of tbe guns, and another year for
tbe manufacture of the guns them
selves."

Liquor Sold to Indians Causes War
In Early Times.
An account of this affair wss written
some years afto. We were young then, but
now write entirely from memory. We may
have forgotten some of the circumstances,
but enough remain to make a good tem
perance story, and otherwise It shows what
men can and will do when arbitration fall
to give relief:
In 1840 titers were Iwo men, one by the
name ot Geo. Geer and the other Wm
McGurrigal, selling whisky ("blue ruin" as
It was then called) to Indiana at Astoria
The Indians then were very numerous on
tbe north side of the river, and they would
come over to Astoria and get drunk and re
main so tor a week or more. While In that
condition they would threaten to kill all
the whlto people. At that time there was
not more that ten or a dosen people (grown
people) living In Astoria, perhaps not more
than forty men In the county. The cltl-
sens told these men they must desist and
not sell to Indians. The furs of the country
were very plentiful. The men said they
would continue to sell no mutter whst the
consequences were. Finally a complaint
was made to the county officers. Joseph
Caples was sheriff, Clatsop Smith (his ini
tials we do not remember) was probate
judge, and W. H. Gray was county auditor,
alt appointed bv Gov. Geo. Ahernathy. The
sheriff called on the two men and told ihcrn
they must not. at the peril of thrlr liberty.
sell any more whisky to Indians. At ones
they became angry and siitl they would
sell, and no one dare attempt to prevent It,
and if they did their life wo In danger.
This only made the peqpla more deter
mined to stop It. However they were afraid
the men would get the Indians to protect
them. In fact the Indians said they would
defend them. Tbe entire community was
thoroughly aroused and determined to ar
rest the men and destroy the business. So
early in February, 1847, the sheriff called
out the militia, or at least 30 aisn and one
boy (myself, 15 years old). Two boats full
of men went from Clatsop plain and one
from Wsstport snd arrived In Astoria early
In the day. Borne ot tha men got out of
the boats and went over the hills to town.
All were well armed and prepared for war
if it must come, and the house In which the
mischief sprang was quickly surrounded.
Indians and all. perhaps a hundred. Geo,
Geer was arrested and disarmed. Wm.
McGurrigal ran to the river and attempted
to make his escape to Chinook, -across the
river. Tbe sheriff sent a boat after him
sod he was caught half a mile from shore.
A heavy wind prevailed at the time and his
boat swamped and be was thrown into tbe
water and half drowned. Though before
be would surrender he attempted to upset
the other boat, and said he would drown
ail tbe s b -. Uno man took up an oar
while be was in the water trving to upset
the boat and told him If be did not stop be
would break his head. He then gave up
and was pulled aboard half drowned, then
tied (we bad no handcuffs- then) and
brought ashore to the saloon.
Then the work of temperance oummeiioed
in good earnest. All the barrels and bottle
were brought out, the corks removed, and
the contents mingled witb the broad Colum
bia, to the grest disgust ot all the Indians,
who attempted to dip up the whisky but
were not permitted to do so In the least.
The house was located about where Kin
ney's cannery is now located. I think Col.
James Taylor assisted in the good temper
ance cause at the time old Col. McClure
was not favorable to It He then lived with
a cluchman, and was fond of a dram. The
nuisance was then abated and all was
quiet, and the small brave army was dis-
bauded, each one going to his home much
lelieved. and hoped for the better, which
speedily came. The two men were taken
over to Clatsop plains, before Judge Smith,
and tried, convicted, and sentenced to one
month in prison, which confinement con
sisted of being tied and guarded.
Their business being destroyed, and be
ing convinced that the people would, under
no circumstance, allow them or other to
sell spirits to tbe Indians, they became
thoroughly penitent, and agreed if tbe au
thorities would releass them they would
leave the couutrv at once and remain awav.
8o they were released, and were honorable
enough to do as they agreed to, and so
ended tbe episode friendly and yleasantly.
