Emmons, a prominent gold miner of New York, has addressed an open letter to President Cleveland, - setting forth a unique plan for main taining the treasury reserve. His suggestion is that if the secretary of the treasury will put himself in com munication with the owners of gold mines throughout the country, he can cause the entire product of the United States to be at the disposal of the gov--ernment in exshange for silver coin. He promises the co-operation of all his interests. At the request of Senators Mitohell and MoBride the secretary of the in terior has directed a speoial agent of -the department to prooeed to Oregon . immediately, to make suon investiga tions as can be made at this season of the year in relation to the alleged ap propriation and occupation of lands within the Bull Run reservation (from whioh Portland reoeivea its water sup ply), the pasturing of rattlo and sheep thereon, and the destruction of timber by forest fires and trespassers.

Those in a position to have early in formation on the subject, olaim to have good reason for believing that large German banks intend to subscribe for $40,000,000 of tbe new government loan. The Deutsobe bank, it is said, intends to subscribe for $25,000,000 of the bonds, and the Bleiohroeders for $15,000,000. It is also said that the imperial oounoil has been largely infln enoed in consenting to these subsorip tions by the strained relations now ex istiug between Gormany and England, Three brothers were fatally injured by an explosion of dynamite in Phila delphia. The boys expeirmented with a toy safe, whioh they were trying to open with dynamite, an explosion oo ourring, breaking open the door.

A dispatch from Johannesburg says it is reported from Pretoria that Dr. Jamieson and other offloers interested with him in tbe recent disturbance with the Boers, in South Africa, have been started for Natal, where they will be handed over to the British authori ties to be tried under the laws making it a punishable offense to prepare a warlike demonstration against a friend ly state Alexander J. Boroday, an electrician of the Westingbouse Company, of Pittsburg, Pa., is believed to be held a prisoner by the Russian government, probably in Siberia. He was a natur alized Amerioan oitizen, but had been aotive in political agitation in Russia before ooming here. Albert Schmidt, general superintendent of the West inghouse works, has communicated the facts to Secretary Olney. A representative gathering of men and women of Detroit, took action ex pressive of keenest sympathy with the Armenians, and also by a gift of over $500 made a substantial beginning in rendering financial aid to that op pressed people. The meeting also adopted memorials to the United States government, and to tbe queen of Great Britain, urging action which shall forever end the atrooities perpe- tratod by the Turks against Christians. The London correspondent of the As sociated Press says that Great Britain is seriously and steadily preparing for war on a very large scale at sea and on land, against Germany, or against Ger many, France and Russia, should they combine against her.

Tbe loss of life was very great There were 600 person killed in Goi alone, and a large number of oattle and sheep perished. OREGON'SPOPULATION RAPID INCREASE NOTED SINCE THE YEAR I80O. Interesting and Spicy Newt Note From Our slater State .Notable Inoreaie In Agricultural Product Mining and Dairying Oregon. There are five stamp mills now In Jackson oounty. The Columbia river ia now lower than it has been for many years. Of forty-three vessels examined by the health offloers at Astoria, during the last quarter, no oontagious were found. Diseases The total sales of land through the office of the board of school latid com inissioners during 1895 was? 71,923 aores at the value of $92,056. i A cargo of lumber is strews along Elk Beach for miles, whioh is supposed to have been floated off the decks of lumber schooners during the late storm, Sturgeon fishing has become quite an industry around The Dalles. Several large catches are reported in that dis trict, a recent one weighing 425 pounds, The Southern Miners' Association has formed a permanent organization at Grant's Pass. About 200 miners were present and genuine enthusiasm prevailed. Wheat is now moving out of Peudle ton about as rapidly as the railrfad can handlo it The movement wasfetarted by a recent bulge when 400,00 bush' els were sold at 40 cents net The Polk oounty oensus returns show 2,440 legal voters. The entire popula tion is 9,193. Over 2,000,000 pounds of hops were raised; 795,951 bushels of wheat, and 530,507 bushels of oats. The Coos Bay Creamery Assooia' tion paid in aotual cash to its milk re ducers during 1895, $13,500. Notwith standing the low price of butter this season, the year was fully as good as in 1894. Work on the construction of the freezing and paoking houses, at Goble, ia progressing as rapidly as possible, The machinery will arrive this month and the establishment will be ready for operation by May. Mrs. Warren, the first white ohild born in Oregon, and one of the sur vivors of the Whitman massacre, was recently married to William Cochran. The couple have moved to San Jose, Cal. The bride was 60 years old at the time of her marriage. The estimated amount of revenue to be raised this year, $783,000, is based upon the assumption ttaat, if the ordin ary expenses of government are tbe same as last year, $94,524, the excesses will amount to $88,459, which will bring last year' figures up to, in wand numbers, $783,000. This would give a rate of 5.4 mills. The promoters of the Oregon sum mer school have formed a corporation with a capital stock of $20,000, divided into 20,000 shares. The objects of the Association are to advance the standard and efficiency of the teachers of the various educational institutions of the state of Oregon. It ia intended to maintain and oonduot one or more schools and to provide lectures and in struction on pedagogics and the asso ciated soienceB. Most of the shipments from Portland to the Sandwich islands up to this time, have been bran, feed, shorts, middlings, eta, and some lumber, while fruit, bananas and oranges have been brought back. The Oregon Rail way & Navigation Company have ar ranged that their outgoing steamers will cull at the islands, and if sufficient trade they will call on their way baok hero. Feed, fertilizer, lumber and flour are the products whioh Oregon intends to ship to that point The total population of Oregon is about 878,000, a gain of more than 100 per cent over 1885, and of 18 per cent over 1890. Between 1880 and 1890 the state increased at the rate of 79.53 per cent Increase has been more rapid, therefore, between 1885 and 1895, than between 1880 and 1890. On the other hand, the rate of increase was greater between 1885 and 1890 than between 1890 and 1895. It will never be as large again, because a greater immigration will bear a smaller proportion to the whole. Ore gon gained 94.65 per cent between 1850 aud 1860 because tbe original population was so small that the im migration of that era exceeded it The gain of 18 per cent between 1890 and 1895 is just about suoh as shown by states whioh are growing, but not re ceiving considerable immigration. New York gained 18 per oent between 1880 and 1890. Washington. A new logging camp has been estab lished at Sunnyside, on Lake What com. The large log jam in the Coweeinan in Cowlitz oounty, was broken with dyna mite. Adams oounty claims not to have had a sheriff's sale advertised for two months. Waitsburg is discussing the matter of putting in a pumping system during the dry season. E. P. Brinnon, a pioneer of Jefferson county, is dead. The town of Brinnon waa named after him.

The Watoom board of trade has ap pointed a committee to look up a site for the Lynden creamery on Belling ham bay, where good shipping faoili ties can be bad. The merchants and ship owners of San Franoisoo and Puget sound oou template a telegraph line from Tatoosh island to Gray's Harbor. This stretch of country is totally uncovered. Tbe executive oommittee of the Northwest Mining Association have deoided to call a convention on Febru ary 22, at Spokane. Invitations will be extended to tbe state officials of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Won tana. The Everett school board has deter mined to bond the outstanding indebt edness of the district, and then to put expenses on a cash basis. Tbe board is not inclined to issue any more war rants. The problem it has to solve 1b to run tbe school without giong in debt The leading educators of this state are to hold an important meeting in Spokane, next summer to organize a society and take action for a unifies' tion of the publio school system of Washington, inoluding tbe state uni versity, agricultural college and state normal schools. As a result of the prospecting done by a diamond drill on the coal proper ties of the Everett and Monte C'risto Company, about three and one-hulf miles southeast of Granite Falls, a tributary to the town of Everett, it has been decided to develope the property by sinking a shaft The salmon paok statistics ' for the Columbia river for 1895 show: Spring pack Chinook salmon, 437,810 cases; bluebaoks, and steelheads, 52,666 oases. Total value, $2,711,853.75; amount paid for flsh, $1,776,647. Allowing one-half the catch to the Washington fishermen makes the amount received by the fishermen of Washington for spring salmon deliver ed tocanneries$888,273.50. Fall pack 92,86 oases of silvorsides, 81,600 oases of Chinook, 3,600 cases of steel- head; total, 137,086 cases, valued at $456,50960. Idaho. A new lumbering enterprise has just been started at South Boise. The mill oost $40,000 and will out about 4,000, 000 feet this year. The maximum ca pacity is 40,000 feet per day. A ooal mine has been located about twenty-five miles from Idaho Falls. It is a superior quality of ooal, and oan be delivered at that place for $3,50 per ton, one-half of the price of soft ooal at the present time. It is a very light ooal, free from iron and with great heat A road is to be constructed to the mine. A oompany has been organized which has teoured deeds to gravel bars and water rights about the Horseshoe Bend to Salmon river. It is the object of the oompany to oonstruot a large out through the neck of tbe bend which will be 18,000 feet long, and by this means drain 9,000 feet of the present river channel. A Chioago capitalist ia about to launch on the Snake river a veritable floating mining camp. On the boat there is a good sized boarding and lodging house to a commodate. 150 miners an immense stationary engine and boilers together with dredgers and pumps of all sizes. This mechanioal boat battery will move up and down Snake river working the banks for gold. The report of Wells, Fargo & Com pany gives the total mineral production of Idaho, in 1895, at $7,853,320, an increase of $511,900 over last year. Of this production the gold was $2,521, 000; silver $2,807,450; lead, $2,026, 680. The difference between Wells Fargo's total and the assay office esti mate is largely accounted for by the different value per ounce of silver, the mint using the coinage valne and Wells-Fargo the commercial price. The difference, 62 cents, amounts to $2,500,000. Montana. A new hotel is to be built early in the spring at the Old Hunter's Hot Springs resort The Odd Fellows at Belt have let a oontraot for a new building. The lower floor is to be used as a publio hall. A stucco company has been incor porated with a capital stock of $15,000. It is to work the gypsum fields at Kibbey. The long bridge over the Yellow stone, five miles south of Livingston, was blown into the river by a high wind. It is a total wreck and cost Park oounty $8,000. Montana produced in metals about $40,115,000 during the year 1895, just ended, taking tbe value of the silver at the coinage rate aud estimating the last two months of the year on a pro rata basis. The official report of the assayer for this office will not be ready until some time in March, but it is believed that tbe figures given will not vary more than a few thousand from the real amount The production of gold was $4,100,000; of silver, 4,500, 000 ounces; of oopper, 212,000 pounds, and of lead, 24,500,000 pounds. The output of copper is estimated as being 65 per cent of the production of the United States. The receipts of bullion at tbe Helena assay office during 1895 were 10 per oent greater than last year and 47 ig' per oent greater than during 1893. British Colombia, Plenty of surface indications of crude petroleum are reported in East Koo tenai. The indications ooTer a very Urge area and two different qualities of oil have been obtained. NOT MUCH WAR TALK JOHN BULL IS FULL OF CONFI DtNCE, HOWEVER. No further uuouueeinent of Move iueut Luoklua to an Ulaueo of l'owrs Agalust Kngland-Transvaal Agalu to tbe for. London. Jan. 14. Interest in the Transvaal question in its immediate bearing has revived to an appreciable extent, while the incidental strain of relations between Great Britain and Germany, which so completely placed the Boers in the background of tbe pic ture for a time, has in its turn reced ed, but by no means disappeared There is littlo apprebpension of war with Germany, over the present coin plication at least, and tbe British pub lio has an enduring sense that, if there is to be a war, England is ready for it The prominent aud efficient measures of the naval authorities, and tbe for midable show of strength which is the result, give John Bull a feeling of con fidenoe. There are no further explicit announcements of movements looking to an alliance of the powers against England today. Nevertheless, it is keenly perceptible by the publio that tbe sentiment dis played by tbe German government has a far wider bearing than the present dispute in the Transvaal, and there are visions of future complications on ques tions of conflicting interests. It is not believed that President Kruger has demanded the abrogation of the Loudon convention, whioh pro vides for the suzerainty of Great Britain over the Transvaal as the prioe of sparing Dr. Jainieson's life. A dispatch from sources sympathetic with the Transvaal government in Johannesburg tonight assert the plot for Jumieson's raid and the coincident uprising of the Uitlanders was tbe most shameful in history. Tbe blackest part of the plot, the dispatch asserts, was the intention of tbe agents of the Chartered South Africa Com pany to set loose the savages to invade the Transvaal from all points and kill every white man. It bad been en' gaged that all over South Africa pro visional stations should be erected on the lines of route, and the points bad been fixed. The object was to destroy Pretoria and to present England with a fait accompli before any interference could reach them. Sketches of Pre' torai and of the "Rand" made by military men have, it is said, been seized. In Germany. Berlin, Jan. 14. There is distinctly less stress of feeling here today m re' gard to the international oomplioation growing ont of the Transvaal crisis, and the German press, as a rule, de votes less space to it than for some time. The tone of the oomment of the newspapers, which means so much in this land of press censorship and in spired expressons in newspapers, is rather more peaoeable, and there is less talk of active hostilities and more hope expressed of an unarmed settlement of the questions at issue. Expressions of irritation at the British government, and of rancor against the English peo ple, are still more or less bitter, how ever. VENEZUELANS AROUSED. England Send Troop to Guard the Disputed Territory. New York, Jan. 11. A speoial the Herald from Caracas says: to The government has received news from tbe Venezuela boundary stations, near the frontier of British Guiana, to the effect that 100 men of the British colonial police have been sent to guard the English station, in the disputed territory. The government regards this aotion as a direct menace on the part of Eng land, following, as it does, so closely the message of President Cleveland relating to the boundary question, England's manner of answering the United States in regard to the occur rences on the Guiana frontier has caused great excitement here. The newspapers devote leading artioles to the movement, and regard it as hostile. They urge the government to dispatch immediately a large body of troops, in' eluding heavy artillery, to watch the invaders and resist their advances. Many armed Venezuelans have gone to the frontier with knowledge of the government, to act as territorial guard. Crespo's expected proclamation re garding the situation and the official action whioh will be taken thereon has not been made publio. The revolutionary movement is ao tive in the East, and many political arrests are being made. Mr. Castillo, the minister of tbe interior, goes to Puerto Cabello to investigate the movement. At target practice held today, crowds of spectators were present, and they shouted to the troopers, "On to the frontier." The newspapers are urging the gov ernment to send troops to the frontier to head off the English. The liberal papers say enough militia can be spared for that purpose, and if the British can obtain a foothold in tbe disputed terri tory it will be hard to dislodge them. El Tiempo says the quicker troops are sent the better it will be. More) Trouble In Peru. Lima, Peru, Jan. 14. Tbe enemies of the government and a number of gendarme created a disturbance at Moquega. The outbreak was sup pressed promptly. Troops have gone to the support of the officials of the place. A man named Simmons works in Warsaw, Ma, for a man named Green, and signs letter "Green, per Sim mons." THE NEW TARIFF. What the Great Dallies Are BwjtMg About lb Mew Kinergsaey BtU. N Ter Tim.) This is a "general tariff bill." Those who said in the majority report of tbe ways and mean oommittee and on tbe floor of tbe house that it ii aot suoh a bill knew that they were guilty of deliberate misrepresentation. The bill change every duty in tbe present tariff, except those relating to sugar, and it also take wool and lumber from the free list Why should any on deny that luoh a measure is "a general tariff bill?" And so the programme i laid out to take wool from tbe fre list now, imposing the McKinley duties, on tbe carpet makers' raw material and 60 per oent of tbe MoKinley du ties on clothing wool, with a corre sponding inoreaae for woolens, and te enlarge all the other rate by II per oent; "in 1897-08" to enact the entire MoKinley tariff, or something worse; to subject all business interest te tariff agitation during this sesaioa of congress, during the political campaign of next year, and (if tbe Republicans Bhall win at the polls in 1896) during the two years thereafter. How do business men like this prospect? Our l'rogre I Threatened. Philadelphia Time. The many and various argument against an increase of the tariff are reinforoed by tbe latest treasury state ment, which show the revenue for the past six months to have been. $8,000,000 greater than in the corre sponding period of 1894 and the ex penditures $4,000,000 less. While re fined mineral oils and their prodaota represent nearly a fonrth of this valne, the increase in the exports of iron and steel, machinery, leather and manufac tures, china and glass, chemicals, silk fabrics, and several other items, is even more remarkable, snowing conclu sively the influence of lower duties, especially on raw materials, in enabl ing Amerioan manufacturers to enter the markets of the world. This most valuable progress the tariff proposed by tbe house of representatives weald abruptly destroy. Only Temporary Expedient. (Philadelphia North American.) The president cannot, shape the policy of the Republican party. He asks for help, and he muBt expect help as Republicans may see fit to prescribe it He will probably accept such help as is foreshadowed by the house. Hav ing led the country into embarrass ments, the Democrats cannot expect t be permitted to devise the mean ef getting baok to firm ground. They had that privilege last year, and utterly failed to raise to the level of the oc casion. None of tbe measures offered are the embodiment of thepolioy of the Republican party. They are provided for the emergency, are merely tem porary expedients to tide over a diffi culty that only a powerful remedy ea remove. Not a Party Measure. Pittsburg Dispatch.) The tariff bill, while passed by a party vote, is not a party measure. Ne protectionist would aooept, as a tariff settlement, the preservation of the in congruities of the Wilson aot with a 1 5 per cent raise. It ought to be recog nized by the Democrats that the ac ceptance of the Wilson sohedules, as a basis for an increase of revenue, is just what it claims to be, a temporary measure to provide revenue enough to- stop the swelling of the publio debt. A Very Big Job. Utlca Observer. The ways and means oommittee of the house of representatives have under taken a very large job in trying to palm off a measure for protection as a measure that complies with President Cleveland's request There has been no greater fraud attempted on the Amerioan people. It is peculiarly reprehensible because it is taking ad vantage of a publio crisis to impose an unjust, iniquitous and repudiated policy of taxation upon the Amerioan people. Why Democrat Oppose. Philadelphia Inquirer.) The Democrats attack this bill be cause it is a step away from the Wilson Cleveland abomination. These Demo crats declare that we do not need money. That is funny. Great publie enterprises are still held up. The Philadelphia mint, for instance, lan guishes. An Unfair Assumption. New York World.) It is currently said that the senate will not pass this bill of relief. Tbe assumption is unfair. There 1b no warrant for saying that the senate will refuse to pass an act so obviously necessary for the relief of the treasury under conditons such as those that now exist The Syndicate Condemned. Cincinnati Enquirer ) If the managers of the maioritv in the house were in real earnest about this business of finance, why did they not prooeed to investigate the much condemned transaction under which a syndicate made an enormous and un natural profit out of the taxpayers of the United States? A Tariff for.BeTenue. New York Mail and Express No patriotio Democrat can consist ently object to the emergency measure just passed by the house of representa tives. While it does not essentially sacrifice or surrender the orinciDla of protection it is nevertheless practically a tariff for revenue. One Serious Defect. Baltimore Son.) Chairman Dingley' bond bill has ne serious defect of not authorizing the rt-t.reraent of the greenback. Tbe green! tok is to be hoarded, not retired.
