NEED A STIR-UP.
Poetofflc Officials are Lax In Methods
Too Anxious to Please,
Washington, April" 29. 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. Cholera is again
threatening the Island of Luton. Tbe
bad outbteak in the Cameroons appar
ently Is spreading northward. The
Cayagan valley is infected and it is
feared the recrudescence will extend
11 over the islands. Past epiilemiis
have generally lasted three years.
There have been 101 canes of bubonic
plague, mostly among the natives and
Chinese, in Manila since January, and
the plague is apparently gaining ground.
Vasquex Is Downed.
Santo Domingo, April 29. As a re
sult of the fighting between govern
ment forces and revolutionists here yes
terday the government has abandoned
San Carlos and Guida, and these
suburbs are now occupied by the reb
els, w ho became possessed of the am
munition, rifles and cannon left by the
government forces. The fighting of
yet-t-rday has entirely changed the sit
uation here, aud it is hoped that peace
ill soon be restored. The hospitals
of the city are filled with the wounded.
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.
