It is the con census of opinion among fair men who have watched the post office department of late years, and who are familiar with its officials, that there is much more tuioke than fire in that depart ment just now, and that the investiga tion that bas been under way for sev eral weeks will make far less sensa tional disclosures than have been pre dicted. Not but what the business methods of the department will be shown to be lax in rrany respects, and that remedies will be recommended, for this no one doubts, but it is reasonably certain that very few officials will lose their positions as a result of the charge that have been filed and are be ing run down. Tyner is, of course, already out, and Assistant Attorney General of the Department Cbristiancy is suspended at his own request pend lng investigations. The paetoffire is the . biggest and most extensive of all the government departments. It employs more men. and is more generally distributed over the country than any other branch of the governmeont, hence, the chances for fraud, for wrongdoing, and for evil arising from lax methods are greater than in any other department. At the same time, with so many employe on the rolls, and so many officials with varying grades of authority and re sponsibility, it will be an extremely aimcoit matter to Isa'en onto any one man the responsibility for sbrrtcomings that may be found. The service will benefit from the in' vestigiation, no doubt, for its moral in floence is good, and serves as a warning to all employes that the pottnmster general is after wrongdoeis, and is ready to prosecute all he can find. WORK OANd RUN DOWN. Ten Qrccka and One American Killed In a Kaaaaa Smash-Up. Buffalo, Kan., Apiil 29. A north bound Missouri Pacific stock train crashed, into the rear end of work train jtitt north of this town at 7 o clock last evening and II men were killed and 25 injured, 10 of the latter seriously and four fatally. All were Greeks except one. The canse of the wreck Is given as misreading of orders. The worktrain consisted of Da tears and a caboose, all filled with labonrs. The men on the flatrars escaped by jumping, but hardly a man in the ca boose escaped. The work train was hacking into town for the nigbt and running at a good speed. The heavy freight engine did not leave the track, but plowed the work train off tbe track. leaving little of it except tbe car wheels and kindling wood. Doctors of Poffalo, assisted by townspeople, did heroic work among the injured until tbe wrecking train from Neodesha and a corps of .half a dozen physicians ar rived. t The dead and injured were taken to Coffeyrille, the latter to be temporarily cared for at the hospital there. The scene of the wreck for several honrs looked like a battlefield by the dauling light of the burning debris, with dead men strewn about on the ground, where they lay after wing taken !rom the wreck. me loreigners were nearly 'all mar ried and had large families in the old country. At tbe office of General Superintend ent Gonld, in Kansas City, the blame for tbe wreck was placed on the con ductor and engineer of the construction train. The freight, which was a reau lar train, was on time and had the right of way. OBJECTS TO TWO THINGS. Conger Protests Against Russian Demands Affecting Our Interests. Pekin, April 29. Minister Conger has sent a note to Prince Ching, the grand secretary, protesting against two features of Russia's proposed Manchur ian agreement, which are considered particularly antagonistic to American interests. The note objects to China promising not to open more towns to foreign trade, because negotiations are proceeding in connection with the American commercial treaty for the opening of Mukden and Takn Shan, and it objects to promising that the foreign employes in China shall be only Russians. The United States withholds expres sion regarding tbe other demands, but prepared to insist on her treaty rights if infractions Incur. Plagues Smite Luzon. Manila, April 29.

The losses sustained by tbe government ere heavy. HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON MARION COUNTY CROPS. Warm Rain Needed, Otherwise the Out look la Very Favorable. Crop in Marion county are in good condition as a general thing, and there is nothing yet to discourage th farmer It would fce better for everything, bow ever, snouiu there be a heavy, warm rain, which would have a two-fold ben eficial effect it would supply toe ne cessary moisture now demanded in many places, and it wonld bring tbe snow out of the Ccscades, thus insnr ing warm spring weather, which it is proverbial cannot be bad until Table Rock and the lower ridge of the moon tains ara bare of their white coats. Fruit is coming on in good shape, the load of blossoms indicating a plentiful crop, but it is too early to feel safe yet, The weather most dangerous to fruit in this country is toat which brings the cold, beating, sleety raius late in April when the pollen is in th bloseom, to be washed cut by those rains, leaving tbe blossom lifeless for froitmaking purposes. There is always a good crop of fruit when that class of rains come before tbe bloeeomlng Is far advanced or anen tbe warm spring arrives with out much rain at all. Tbe hop crop is at that point where there is merely speculation as to the re sult. As usual, much is beard of mis sing hills, damaged vines, and a. heavy shortage in prospect for this year, but past experience bas shown that in many years wnen similar predictions were made, the yield tnrned out reasonably good. . Sheep Shearing la Umatilla. Twenty abeep shearers have arrived in Umatilla county from different parts of the country, ?nd will commece work at once. This number will be eonsid erably increased within a week or ten days, as three crews are employed in the section around Pilot Rock during tbe shearing season, which lasts about 60 days. Usually there are about 12 men to a crew. These men are paid and 8 ceits a head for shearing stock sheen and 15 a id 26 cent for pure-bred ewe and buck. Some of the men average 10 per day. Sheep will not be sent to the mountains ss early this year as last, aa there is no scarcity of feed. Big Timber Land Deal. One of the biggest timber deals trans acted in Southern Oregon for some time was tbe recent transfer of some 2,000 acres of timber land on the Upper Rogne to W . il. Slrobridge. He has taken the tract on the Upper Rogue nnder bond, tbe price named being $25 an acre, for 24,000 acres of tbe tract, and $20 per acre for the remainder. The total pricn is $960,000. This belt of timber is oue of the finest in the south ern part of ti.a state. School bond issue Detested. By a vote of 185 to 82 the taxpayers oi tne I'endleton school district de feated the proposition of inning $25,000 bonds tu erect a new eight-room school r0UBe. lne question at issue was not sc much the money, but the location of the new building; which the school ooard had selected. Run of Small FUa Oood. The run of fish still continues good at Astoria lor tbis season of the year, and further np the river a number of large fish are being caught. ' Building at Reform School. Plana are neaily complete for the new industrial schcol building which is to be erected at tbe state reform school at a cost of from $12,000 to $15,000. Tbe plans will be submitted to the board of trustees by Architect C. C. Lewis, of Portland, the first of next week, and the board will immediately aaveriiae lor dub. a ..... . - - Snow Deep In Cascades. R. N. Hoover, tbe well-known shin gle manufacturer of Detroit, says that snow in tbe Cascade mountains i deep er now than it has been before at this season in tbe past eight years. Should tbe weather turn warm suddenly so as to melt th snow rapidly, be believes tbe Willamette river will be high this year. Denied a Friachlae.

No Hop Pests In Polk. ' Examination has been made of num erous yards in Polk county and they all show a healthy growth, with no pes on the vine. Tbe cold weather ha not pnt yard back in thaUoonty.) FLOCK TO LAKB COUNTY. Large Number of Mca Waiting for Snow to Melt in Order to Locate. Timber men continue to arrive at Lekeview by every stage and fiom every direction, and tbe Lakeview land ofllce i working to it full capacity. Several locator with scrip are waiting for the snow to disappear, so tbey can get into tba timber. Silver Lake promises to be the tim ber cruiser's headquarters this year, and with it two newspapers is expected to wield considerable influence in the affairs of Lake couffty in the future. Tbe extension of the railroad from Shaniko to Deschutes promises to divert all the trade north of Goose Lake Val ley from San Francisco tJ Portland, and give passenger a shorter and better route via stage to tbe railroad, as there is a good road at all season of the year from Lakeview to the Dee chutesand no mountains to cross. Tbe season is very backward. No grass baa yet started and sheepmen ara anxious, a th lambing season is at hand, and there is no grass, and sight are very cold. Heavy losses have been sustained in tbe last two weeks, and ii tbe weather does not get warmer In a few days, the tosse will be heavier than ever before. A few sheepmen bsve commenced shearing wethers, bat many fear to at tempt it yet, although it ia far past the usual time to begin. Hanging of Armstrong. Aa examination of the law governing th execution of death sentences, which was passed by the-last legislature, re veals the fact that Armstrong, the mur derer of Minnie Enaminger, st Baker City, will have to.be executed in that city, if the supreme coort confirm tpe judgment of the lower court, when tbe case come np on appeal in May. If tbe sentence of the court is carried oat it will be tbe first legal execution in the history of Baker county, since it was organised, over 40 years ago. In the early days there was a lynching at Auburn, then the county seat, on which occasion a Cbinaman wa hnne for murder. Out to University. The university of Oregon i again th recipient of tbe generosity of one of ita ardent npporters. Thomas Howell,, of Oregon City, bas donated his entire herbarium collection, consisting of over lu.uuo species. Dr. Harry Lane, of Portland, recently donated his collec tion of Oiegco toadstools to the local university. Also through tbe depart ment of agriculture the university ha just received a collection of the fungi of commercial importance). Fruit Safe at St. Helens.
