Mr. Clark stated that the action of Judge Kiner re garding the Oregon Short Line would un doubtedly meet with the approbation of the majority of the stockholders, and that the Union Pacific would likely con tinue in control of the Oregon Short Line and the key to the situation in the Northwest. As to the business outlook Mr. Clark was not inclined to say much, hoping, however, that the clouds might lift and the year close with something to the credit side of the ledger.

WAITB NOT Gil LTV. Th Evidence Did Not Show Any Con, pinny on Hi. Fart. Denver, September 1. Governor Waite was a witness to-day before United States Commissioner Hinsdale in the case against himself, President Mullins of the Police Board, Chief of Police Armstrong and Police Matron Dwyer for withholding from ex-Matron Likens a letter for her. Waite denied the conspiracy absolutely. The letter, he said, was given him to read. After reading it he handed it back, and con sldered It of little Importance. He op posed the removal of Mrs. Likens, and never gave Mrs. Dwyer any encourage ment io expect ine piace. Mrs. Dr. Iove. a friend of Mrs. Likens testified that the Governor told her the removal was made because of a letter compromising Mrs. Likens. The Gov, ernor gave her a letter to Armstrong, requesting him to let her see the letter, Armstrong sent her to Mullins, who would not let her see the letter. J. Warner Mills, a leading Populist and life-long friend of Mrs. Likens, I vnytiHA.1 thai Mnllina frtlil him tll nrnsifB against Airs. Likens were strong, imt re fused to show them. This closed the testimony. The Commissioner denied the motion to dismiss the case for want of iurisdiction. District Attorney John son in a speecn ueciareu niuuine anu Mrs. Dwyer were the leading conspira tors, but that Governor Waite and Chief Armstrong in allowing themselves to be used to carry out the conspiracy were equally guilty. Governor Waite spoke briefly in ins own Doiiaii. lie oemea tne imputation that he had said Mrs. Likens was a disreputable person. Said the Governor: ' If I have been guilty of embezzle- Iment or conspiracy, or any crime, I do not ask any favors. In my judgment there Is no evidence to snow any guilt. If the court rinds from the testimony that there is gnilt. I expect it to do its duty, and I know that it will." The Governor while delivering this sentence walked ud and down in an ex cited manner, and delivered his words with dramatic ettect. At the conclusion of the arguments Commissioner Hins dale discharged Waite, and held the other defendants to the United States grand jury in the sum of (600 each. The Commissioner Baid Matron Dwyer had a right to open the envelope, but when she found the letter inside was addressed to Mrs. Likens she should have delivered it to her. The conspiracy among the de fendants to injure Mrs. Likens had not been clearly shown, but withholding the letter was a clear violation of the law. The evidence, however, failed to show the Governor had anything to do with detaining the letter, TUB YAKIMA RAILWAY. Committee Organise, and Will Begin an Aetlve Canvas. Pobtland, September 1.

Crop Estimated at Twelve Bushels to the Acre. Fahoo, N. D., September 3. Concern, ing the North Dakoka wheat yield sworn official returns from fifty towns in Cass county show a decrease in the acreage of about 10 per cent, and in many of the counties it is greater. In a few instances there is a large yield, from fifteen to thirty Dusneis, out in most cases it is ten to fifteen, in many six to ten and in some cases a pure failure. The Dest judges estimate a failure of about 5 per cent in six nea iviver vaney counties, while in the western half of the state there is less than one-third of a crop. The whole yield of the State is placed at not above Z0,uuu,uuu,uuu Dusneis or aDout and much better than last year in the Red River Valley counties, but not in the State as a whole. The conditions prevailing in South Dakota, which will five them an unusually short yield, pre- vail in North Dakota also except in the eastern part of the State. In the Mis, on Valley the failure is almost THE PACIFIC CABLE. Siemens Bsi Submitted an Estimate It. Probable Cost. London. September 1.

Said That the Former Southern Heauty Ha. llegun an Action for Di vorce From William K. Vanderbllt III. Girt to Nellie Neu.tretter. New Yobk, September 1 The state ment in a morning paper that Mrs. W. K. Vandurbilt was about to begin separa tion proceedings has not, it is alleged, created surprise in circles where the re lations of the pair have been, known. That they have not lived harmoniously for the past two years has been the gos Id of fashionable circles for some time, The crisis in their atlairs, according to the Commercial Advertiser of to-day, was reached immediately after the run ning of the Grand Prix de Paris June 17 of this year, ihe paper further says " Mr. Vandurbilt won 40.000 francs on the race, and almost immediately after receiving his winnings he was introduced to a woman well known for her beauty and numerous following among the lights in swelldom. This person was Nellie Neustretter. She fascinated the million, aire, and as an evidence of his apprecl ation of her company he gave her the w,uw irancs so openly mat several friends saw the unusual occurrence and remonstrated with him. The story of how he fitted up a maenincent establish ment for her in Paris and subsequently gave tier a residence at Deanville, with servants and every luxury she desired, is true. It shocked and surprised the many residents of Paris, but Mr. Van derbilt was so open in his attention as to puzzle everybody. Une ot the most startling things he did was to allow the servants of Nellie Neustretter to wear the same livery as worn by Mrs. Van derbilt's servants. This was commented upon by thoBe who saw her and her equipage in Paris and Deanville." The Vanderbilts, according to an aftor noon paper, have lived apart since early last sprinir. Mrs. Vanderbilt has passed the summer in England at an estate on the Thames near London, which had been rented to her, while Mr. Vander bilt has passed his time in Paris. It is alleged that when some time ago a tenta tive agreement of separation was reached Mr. Vanderbilt agreed to Bettle upon his wife $10,000,000. When the news of the sift of 40.000 francs to Nellie Neustretter reached Mrs. Vandurbilt she communicated with her friends in America, and set about to pro cure a divorce. Cornelius Vanderbilt went over to Paris hastily to patch up matters, and the story is that he met W. K., his brother, with whom he has influence, and hearing his story, secured from him a promise not to make the de tails of hiB differences with his wife pub lic. Cornelius bIbo saw Mrs. Vanderbilt, and heard her story. He made every ef fort to bring about a reconciliation, but failed, except the stopping of divorce Sroceedings. It was at this time that Irs. Vanderbilt began to suffer from nervous prostration. During her Illness it is understood she changed her mind about the courts, and was willing to do anything to avoid the publicity that must follow a suit for divorce. Colonel and Mrs. William Jay, botli friends of Mr. and Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt, then went over, and they are now trying to effect a reconciliation and save the pub licity 01 a scandal, but are not meeting with exceptional success. Mrs. vander bilt has made propositions to her has band to provide her and her children with an income and the use of their town house at Fifth avenue and Forty second street and the Islip house. The marble mansion at Newport is hers and her name. That William K. Vander bilt gave her outright. It is the iinpres sion abroad that Mrs. Vanderbilt will not seek a divorce. Cornelius Vander, bilt has, it is said, a promise from W. K, that he will not attempt proceedings of that nature in his own behalf. The Paris correspondent of a morning paper says : " Nellie Neustretter is one of the most notorious women of the upper class of her kind in Paris. She is said to be one of the handsomest women in Paris, and has been for some time one of the gay, est. Who introduced her to Vanderbilt I do not exactly know. I have heard, but that does not matter. There has for several years been more or less talk in society here and at Newport concerning both Mrs. and Mr. Vanderbilt. He has been fond of yachting and pleasure gen erally, and naturally would excite com ment on account of his great wealth and habit ot traveling Irom place to place, sometimes with and often without Mrs. Vanderbilt Mrs. Vanderbilt is fond of society, and ie greatly admired by women as well as men. She found pleasure in entertaining and at times in travel. Gos sip did not amount to anything, how ever, until two years ago, when it was reported at Newport that Mr, Vander bilt had decided to leave America and reside abroad away from Mrs. Vander bilt. A-t that time a friend of Mr. Van derbilt in explaining his determination said Mrs. Vanderbilt was too exacting, and that she demanded too much of him and did not care to create a scandal if they could not agree. How the matter was patched up I cannot say. Colonel William Jay and Mrs. Jay are depended noon bv the Vanderbilt familv to make amicable arrangements. The intimate friends of the Vanderbilts are looking for successful results from the good of fices of the Javs. I think eventually they will be brought to view the matter in the proper light and aeree to a rec onciliation. Of course, it mav be some time before this end is reached, but I think both even now wish tliev had es caped the publicity earned thus far." WANT THE FLAG HONORED. Section of the French-Canadian Pres. Makr. a Protest. Montbial, September 2. A section of the French-Canadian press is indignant at what they call an outrage on the part of the authorities who have charge of the provincial exhibit at Ouebec. The difficulty lies in the fact that the French nag is not given official recognition. The ratne says: " We ask all the exhibitors to exact that the tricolor flag be made to float ;"thV"exhibiti buiidg, and "to withdraw rather than abide by the die- tates of a pedantic castor who is ashamed f i fi l of being a Frenchman. Iet there be no exhibition rather than allow France to be insulted. Therefore, if there is then a fiasco, the people of Quebec will know whom to blame." The Spaalsh Congree.. Madrid, September 3.

Bam FaANcifico, September 2, The bark Harvester, which has arrived from Karluk, brought the latest news of the Alaska salmon run, and considering the lateness of the season this year, the re turns are very good for the combine, Last year the catch resulted in about 000,000 cases, and this year's run will amount to very near the same. The re. turn, it Is said, will have the effect of making the market stable, if there I. no heavy demand from Kngland. In the latter event the price of salmon will ad vance according to demand. A gentle man, who is tariteiv interested and thor ouizhly posted on the situation, said to, dav : 1 " ine Angiisn market bought very sparingly of us last year on account of the largeness of the. British Columbia catch, but tins year several Knglish buy ers have placed heavy orders on this market. From reports received from Alaska the run has been light in some places, but has averaged up well at other points. In Southwestern Alaska there lias been a shortage, but this is not 01 so much consequence, as the greater portion of the output there is the pink or cheap varieties of salmon. At karluk. 1 understand, the catch has been very good. The winter there extended very late into the spring months, so that ine season was a snort one. "The loss of time was made un. how ever, by excess of work, and the canner ies were run at their fullest capacity, The run has ceased, and the season has closed. Nearly 600,000 cases have been put up bv the canneries of the combine. Nearly all this lot has been placed, and not a little of it is already out of second hands. The market this year opened at 95 cents a dozen, which was 5 cents lower than last year's openintr price. This was a month ago, and it was only a little while before the price advanced' to itfM cents and finally to $1. " Outside the combine there are sev eral independent canneries, among them lieing those of the Pacific Steam Wlial ina Company. Wheaton. Breen & Co- James Madison and others. Their full catch is not known yet, but there is lit tle doubt it has been fairly successful. it win prooauiy amount in all to iuu,uuu cases. Some of this nearly all, in fact has been placed. The British Colum bia cau'ii lias not been up to the average this year, and is at loast 25 per cent off. This failure makes the outlook for Alaska salmon much brighter, as the possibili ties are greatly increased for considera bly more of it finding its way to the bngiisli market," DONATION LAND CLAIMS.

Repre sentative Hermann's bill, which has now become a law, providing limitations for proofs in donation land claims in Ore gon, Washington and Idaho, provides that claimants to such lands have until January ), 181)0, the right to make final proofs, in'' default of which the claims are held to be abandoned.

He Sue. His Former Friend for Allenat Ing Ul. Wife' AfTootluns. New Yobk, September 1. Arthur Loring Mackaye, a son of the late Steele Mackaye, theatrical manager and play wright, has brought action in the Supe rior Court to recover $50,000 damages from his former friend, Paul Latzke, for the alleged alienation of the affections of his wife, Flora Louise Mackaye. Latzke was arrested to-day on an order issued by Judge McAdam of the Superior Court at the instance of Charles Bate. Bail was fixed at $2,000, which was furnished. This is the second wife of Mackaye, who is under 30 year of Hge. His first wife was Maud Aimer, the only daughter oi Joaquin Miller. Maud used to stay at the house of Steele Mackaye while she was in the citv. One dav young Mack aye and she ran off. and were married. bhe had just come from the convent of the Sacred Heart at Montreal, where she was educated. She was given the impression that young Mackaye, who was a 1 rotestant, had not been baptized. When she learned to the contrary, she wrote Manager Preston asking if the marriage was valid. He Baid it was not. This letter caused much comment at the time. The young woman left Mackaye soon after the marriage on learning this. The marriage occurred February 4, 1888. January 6, 1880, she married Louden Mccormick, an actor and theatrical manager of Chicago, without a divorce from Mackaye. Mackaye subsequently secured a divorce from her in this city because of her relations with McCor- mick. McCormick deserted the poet's daughter in 1880. SCOTCH COAL MINERS. Ballot Show. Them in Favor of Accept ing a Redaction. Glahoow, September 3. The result of a ballot among the Scotch coal miners on the question, involved in tbepret j strike was announced to-day. The bal- . loting shows 25,417 miners in favor of ,., , . . , . the proposal of the Miners' Federation to accept sixpence reduction, witb guar anteed wages on that basis for two years, and 20,942 in favor of insisting upon a shilling advance in wages. The mine owners declare that the balloting, which shows a majority in favor of ac cepting a reduction of sixpence, does not by any means put an end to the strike, for the reason that it will be im possible for them to guarantee even a minimum rate of wages for a period of two years. The owners assert that this cannot be done, inasmuch as most of 'their annual contracts hay been can I celed by their subscribers. CENSUS STATISTICS Home and Farm Proprietorship in the United States.

Wheat, Flax and Fruit Yield Astonish ing Return., Kindbick, Idaho, September 3. The farmers of the Potlatch country are in the midst of their harvest. Fully half the grain is cut, and the yield for what has been threshed is above the average. W. P. Edmonson of Big Potlatch ridge cut fifty acres with an average of sixty bushels per acre. Another man went above the standard by an average of forty-seven bushels per acre, though it is apparent that thirty bushels per acre would be a fair average estimate. There is more flax sowed this year than usual, all contracted at $1 per bushel. There will be shipped 50,000 bushels from this place in the near future. Should the price of wheat rise to 60 cents, the Pot latch country would ha in Ann mnillfinn after disposing of the surnlos product There is no doubt but that witb the opening of the Indian reservation there will be an influx of men and money that win materially alter tne phase ot a nancial matters in this region. Great dependence has been put upon the fruit crop this year, and so far the yield and sale have been very large. The varieties which are yet to market are of more substantial and staple character, and no uouut will add greatly to the resources oi me country, ... - ONLY FIFTY PER- CENT. The Rate, of Flour on the China Line Thermometrleally Elevated. San Fbancibco, September 1. Flour ing men are angry over the 50 per cent raise in the rates of flour on the China line. A shipping man in discussing the matter said : " The Pacific Mail and the Occidental and Oriental Companies had to follow the raise of the Canadian and Northern Pacific Companies." This statement may seem strange on its face, but an explanation of it is readily of fered. In the first place the low rate of freight on flour was the result of the Canadian Pacific's fight against local companies, the latter being obliged to meet every cut This the companies did to protect themselves, and for nearly two years the rate has been $4 a ton. Now they have raised the rate to protect Cal ifornia shippers. Had they not followed the raise of the Canadian and Northern Pacific, the Oregon shippers would have sent their goods to San Francisco and shipped them over the Pacific Mail and Uccidental lines, shutting out the Call- forma shippers. The Northern Pacific will be the Bret line on which the rate will go into effect, for a steamer will leave Tacoma before the Belgic sails from can rrancisco. INDIANS IN IDAHO.

FARMERS ARE BENEFITED. Saving to Them by Having Their Grain Bag. Imported Free. San Fbancibco, September 1. It Is estimated that free grain bags will mean a saving of $375,000 a year to California farmers. The new tariff, however, went into effect too late to make much saving this year. The annual demand for grain sacks is about 32,000,000, of which Cali fornia uses 24,000.000. The importation is about 20,000,000, and of the remaining 0,000,000 4,000,000 have been produced at the San Ouentin prison and 2.000.000 at the California jute niillB. The latter have now closed down, and it is claimed that its plant, valued at $250,000, has been rendered useless by the free i in por tation of bags. The average duty has been 1.55 cents a bag, and this will now be saved to the farmer. Since the en actment of the new law the price of bags has dropped irom u cents to 04 cents, Complaint From Zimmerman. Pa bib, September 1.
