The proposed" consoliidation of the pilotage boards of Kanaimo, Vancouver and Victoria will practically shut Amer ican vessels out of the port of Vancou ver and enable the Puget sound cities to secure snaps in the war of cheap char ters.

The industrial depression in the Indi ana natural gas. region has brought about an alarming condition. Since the development of the gas territory, com mencing in 1888, more than 400 manu facturing establishments have located in it, giving employment to nearly 60.- 0CX) men. During the present summer and fall a large proportion of the indus tries have closed down and others have reduced their forces, reduced their time and made deep cuts in wages.' At the present time no fewer than 20,000 men are out of employment and their fami lies dependent on charity for sutinort. In Kokomo alone 1,000 factory operators are idle, and the county in the last three months has paid out $3,000 for their support. Other manufacturing towns in the gas region are in the same condi tion, and soup houses are springing np all over the belt. The principal towns in this deplorable condition are Koko mo, Marion, Anderson, Muncie, Elwood, Hartford City, Nobleville, Gas City, Alexandria, Jones boro and Pendleton, besides many smaller places. .

' - W, p. Parker. Nicholson mm HAWAIIAN MESSAGE PRESIDENT CLEVELAND LAYS THE MATTER. BEFORE CONGRESS. . Th Question Reviewed at length The 'President, Believes Harrison Was Mis led Blount and.Stavans. Following is a synopsis of President Cleveland's message to congress on the Hawaiian question: The inessago begins'with a review of the overthrow of the monarchy and the creation of the provisional government. The annexation of foreign territory is nam to be a departure from American tradition. Another matter referred to is the extraordinary haste of the pro visional government to bring about an nexation. President Dole's message and the queen's protest are compared and the discrepancies nointed out. The appointment of Commissioner Blount is referred to and Minister Stev ens is severely criticised. Tho landing or tne American troops, the president says, was unjustifiable and uncalled for. But for the presence of United States troops and the known predilections of Minister btevens for annexation, the revolution would have been crushed. Overawed by the American soldiers, the queen surrendered with the understand ing that the whole matter would be re ferred to the United States, where all concerned would receive justice. Min ister Stevens recognized the provisional government before it was in possession of the islands and before the people had consented to its establishment. Mr. Cleveland thinks this country should maintain its integrity and love of justice and restore the condition of affairs in Hawaii prior to the dethrone ment of Queen Lilinokalani. Minister Willis has been instructed to advise the people of Hawaii to restore the queen, if it can be done peaceably and with the understanding that am nesty will be granted to all who have been identified with the provisional gov ernment and the assumption of all obli gations entered into, by the temporary government. GOVERNMENTAL GOSSIP. Memorial service for the late Senator Stanford will be held in congress Jan. 4. The bill for the admission of Utah will probably be opposed in the senate by its old antagonist, the Ladies' Home Missionary society, which is seeking an opportunity to be heard by the senate committee on territories. The members of this society take exception to the statements which have been made very freely by the advocates of the bin that polygamy is dead in Utah, and state that they have positive information that the contrary is the case. They obtain this information from the missionaries scattered through that territory. No blood had been shed in Hawaii np to Dec 9, the date on which the steamer Australia left Honolulu. War prepara tions have been made, however, and ex citement runs high. The provisional government has issued a notice to the diplomatic corps that the landing of troops from any foreign vessel will be resisW. the United States included. President Dole and the conservative members of his cabinet favored peace ful acquiescence to a request from the United States to restore the queen. This request has not been made. The radical members of the provisional forces demanded firm resistance tn res toration, and Dole was compelled to an nounce that his government would per mit no outside interference. A conference of leading silver men in the country to devise ways of continu ing the fight for free silver opened at Washington. Among those present were Generals Weaver and Field of Iowa, Senator Stewart of Nevada, Kolb of Ala bama, Moreton Frewen, a British authority on bimetallism, and General Master Workman Sovereign of the Knights of Labor. About 50 in all were present, representing the bone and sinew of the silver movement. General Weaver says the conference will proba bly last several days and be a thorough canvass of the situation. The confer ence is being held with closed doors. The possibilities of a new political party with free silver coinage as the sole plank in the platform was among the develop ments ofa the day's secret session of the silver leaders. The day was devoted to expressions of opinion by the represen tatives of the different states. They were uniformly to the effect that the working people and the farmers are dis satisfied with the course of congress in repealing the silver purchase clause of the Sherman act. A PERSONAL.

Representative Bowers of California has introduced a bill in congress to cre ate a postal savings bank department. It provides that all first, second and third class postoffices be designated as postal savings bank offices, at which lawful money of the United States may be deposited. Any person 13 years or over may deposit at such offices not less tnan 3 nor more than $300 on the same day, provided that no fractions of a dol lar shall be received for deposit, nor snail any depositor have rtandinjr to his credit more than f 1.000. exclusive of in terest, within a year following his first deposit, nor more than $3,000, exclusive of interest, to his credit at anv time thereafter. Any depositor wishing to wiiuaraw all or any part of his deposits who may apply to the postmaster, who shall furnish him with a blank form of application for withdrawal, which when properly filled out and signed, the post master shall forward to the postmaster general, who upon receipt shall draw a check upon the treasury for the amount. forward the same to the depositor under cover to the postmaster who forwarded the application and by him delivered to the poeitor.

No sum of money deposited while in the hands of any postmaster, or while in the course of transmission to or from the postmaster general, shall at any time be liable to demand, seizure or de tention under legal process against the depositor thereof. Postmasters and other officers of the postoffice engaged in the receipt or pay ment of a deposit shall-not disclose the name of any depositor or the amount deposited or withdrawn, except to the postmaster general or to such of his offi cers as are appointed to assist in carry ing into operation the provisions of this act. Provisions are incorporated in the bill for making reports by postmasters and other officials, and where money re ceived may be deposited by them. It is also provided that any depositor having had standing to his" credit for six months $100 or more may make ap plication to the postmaster-general that United States bonds be issued to him in lieu of such deposit. Thereupon the amount specified by the applicant being $100 or a multiple thereof shall be trans ferred to the general fund of the treas ury, and bonds of the denomination of $100 each shall be issued to the depositor in lieu tnereol, one bond for each' $100 transferred.

Important Mews of All Kinds Boiled Down and Arranged for Busy People. All Superfluous Words Removed anil the Essence of the News Preserved. The Union Pacific receivers will di vorce the Gulf system of the road from the main line. The transcontinental railroads will hold a meeting in Chicago Jan. 4 to fix up the rate troubles. - An overflow mass meeting was held at Cooper's Union, New York, in opposi tion to Tammany rule and to urge the legislature to investigate the city gov ernment. The new cruiser Olympia made an av erage of 82 knots on her trial trip. The Union Iron works will gain a bonus of $300,000, as the vessel exceeds contract requirements. ' The jury at Crown Point, Ind., in the ca.e of Martin Costello, the prizefighter, returned a verdict of riotous conspiracy and fixed the penalty at penitentiary for two years and a fine of $5. The courts will see how much actual labor falls to each of the five receivers of the Union Pacific and will in due time fix their respective pav. No prince ly salary of $18,000 will be" granted. The farmers in Northwestern Nebras ka, owing to repeated failures of crops, are now in a condition approaching starvation, and active measures for their relief are being inaugurated at Omaha. It is stated at Baltimore that the plant of the Maryland Steel company will close down for the whole year of 1894 by agree ment with the Bethlehem, Carnegie and Illinois companies on the payment of $400,000. Affairs in Honolulu are unchanged. It is evident that the American minister is awaiting instructions from Washing ton. The provisional government is pre paring for any emergency which may arise. The World's Fair board of awards has struck a balance on awards made, dis closing for the first time that foreign exhibitors will secure 63 per cent of the prizes, while American exhibitors will receive only 87 per cent Thomas Devine of Kent, Wash., one year ago, while in New York and under the influence of liquor, married a woman of loose character. When he got sober he left for his home, and after a year's reflection he has gone back to New York, hunted np the woman and commenced proceedings lor divorce. The schedule of reduced wages in the Carnegie plants in Pittsburg, Beaver Falls, Braddock and Homestead is now being prepared. The reduction will be shout 40 per cent, falling chiefly on skilled workmen now receiving from $10 to $50 per day, while the nail mill oper ators will be reduced from $3.50 to $2 per day. A New York World special from Buenos Ayres says: Terrific bombard ing is reported from Rio de Janeiro. Many persons in the city have been killed. No formal blockade of the port has been proclaimed, but on account of the incessant firing upon the custom bouses, marine arsenal and the Quay des Mineiros it is impossible to land passen gers or cargoes. As returned by the New. York state board of canvassers, the senate stands: Republicans 19. Democrats 13; the as lembly. Republicans 74, Democrats 53 Republican majority on joint ballot of 83. The constitutional convention will be composed of Republicans 110, Demo crats 65. Bartlert S plurality over May oard for court of appeals is 101.064, and the other Republican candidates range from 33,000 to S3 ,000. The London Financial Times publishes in interview with Chauncey M. Depew, who is quoted as saying: "President Cleveland was right and silver wrong. The tariff need not cause any fear to American railroads: they will get along all right. " Explaining the recent crisis Depew said: "Business before the panic of 1S93 was being conducted in a most conservative way within living memory. The panic was due to the fact that for the first time in thirty years a president was elected with a free trade policy and a possible majority in both houses. The majority which put tleveland in was composed of all the heterogeneous elements .of a populace wanting to chonge the existing order of things. " Another international race is in pros pect, not one of yachts this time, but of railroad locomotives. The challenger is Frederick Charles Winby of England who arrived at New York from England quite recently. He is the inventor of the mammoth locomotive James Tole tnan which was exhibited at the World's Fair and which he is now willing to back for a considerable amount against No. 999 of the New York Central or any other American locomotive. Winby left for Chicago. His party includes a fire man and an engineer. No formal chal lenge has been given, but an English -American locomotive race, probably be tween Chicago and New York, is" not unlikely. Dr. Newell J. Ozias, a young and promising physician and coroner of Douglas county. Or., has been commit ted to the- care of the charity commis sioners at New York to be examined as to his sanity. Dr. Ozias is 24 y.ars of age and lives at Rosebnrg, Or. Last March he went to New York to take the post graduate course in Bellevue college with his wife. He confined himself strictly to his studies until September, when he returned home for a brief va ra tion. - He started for New York again in October, stopping at Chicago to visit the fair. While there he became pos sessed of hallucinations that robbers were pursuing him for the purpose of stealing his money, and when he reached New York the idea was still uppermost In his mind, though perfectly sane on other subjects. The. hallucination on this point increased till it become neces sary to restrain him. He was commit ted. He was in perfect health till he was voocinated a few months ago. Sick Headache and a sensation of oppression and dullness in the head, are very commonly produced by indi gestion: morbid despondency, irrita bility and over sensitiveness of the nerves may, in a majority of cases, be traced to the same cause.

Pritchard, the Medford jeweler, is not promising to give his goods away but ho is selling them as cheap as thoy ure being sold in Jacksonville, Come Out of the Wilderness. Says the Cottage Grove Echo-Leader: "The special edition of the Med fobd Mail of December is well got ten up, and shows lots of enterprise by the publishers of that paper. Diversi fied farming is helping that part of Oregon very much." This is all right so far as the . excellence of .the paper is concerned, for it was a good one, but the intimation that the editor of such a paper is an example of diversified farming ought to be reseated by some body. . Are there no farmers of spirit in Oregon? Oregouian. Diversified farming is the key note of success everywhere and ever will be. Were it not for the "farmers of spirit" at Medford, The Mail could not have made a credit able appearance. Were it not for the "farmers of spitit" there, Med ford, could not be such an example of phenomenal growth and business prosperity as to justify the success ful publication of as good a journal as The Mail. Diversified farming is rapidly developing-the natural resources of the rich country tribu tary of Medford; diversified farming is cutting the large farms into small ones whose owners are carefully cultivating as many acres and no more 7-as they can cultivate with."" wise and judicious management for profit.
