Tbe ringing of tbe bell at 8 o'olook every eveniDg promptly oleari tbe street of small boys. Mm. Mary Soott Myera, of Tbe Dalles, bai been notified of her appoint ment aa member uf tbe national execu tive board of the Woman's Belief Corpa. The cannery at Nehalem started up last week, and the ran of big salmon continued fair for a few days. The fishermen anticipate a large catob tbia season. Seafert Bros., of Tbe Dalles, just shipped two oarloads of fresh salmon to New York. Their oannery has been running day and night since the open season began. Wallowa, Wallowa oounty, presents a busy appearanoe. A large amount of lumber is being banled, many buildings are being erected, and an air of general aotivity is noticeable. Several taxpayers in Harney oounty who paid their taxes to ex-Sheriff Git tings, the defaulting sheriff of that oounty, are anxious to know if tbe county court will regard tbe receipts as regular. Twenty tons of silica were shipped from tbe Mosier mines to Boston last week. No one knows what ia being re ceived for it. The cost of mining and delivering f. o. b. at the Mosier depot is about $13 per ton. Tbe silica mines now give employment to eight or nine men. W. H. Talyor, of The Dalles, shipped Hungarian prunes to New York last week that brought the re markable figure of (1.65 per box. Tbe high figure whs because ot the superi ority ot the fruit and the exoellent packing. Oilier fruit sold by its side fur $1 per box.

Jesse Nelson has begun suit against the oity of Spokane for aliened false imprisonment. He asks judgment for 1 1,950. He was arrested on a charge of stealing an express wagon. The statement of the treasurer of Walla Walla oounty shows that during the last fiscal year tbe reoeipts of tbe county amounted to 1201,844 97, and tbe disbursements to (216,890.85. Tbe Tacoma offloe of the Northern Pacific Coal Company is to be olosed, and tbe work done there is to be trans acted at Roslyn. This will bring about the removal of officers and em ployes to Roslyn. Quite a few traots of land are being cleared up by their new white owners on the Puyallup reservation along the county road between Puyallup and Ta coma. It is the richest land on earth, and soon the whole stretch of eight miles will be owned and tilled by whites. The fruit crop in the Wena tehee country is an abundant one this year. Apples, peaches and grapes are all very low, and no sale for them. Tbe oities on the Sound furnish a very poor mar ket for it in quantities, and tbe freight charges are so high eastward that it leaves but little profit for tbe producer. An appeal has been taken by the Nail Works Company of Port Town send from the decision rendered by Judge Pritchard, of tbe Pierce county superior court, in which the Biddell Purchasing Compsny was allowed the sum of (5,000, in a suit for foreclosure of a mortgage, tbe plant being ordered sold to satisfy tbe claim.

Threatened Assault at Striking Minors lias Begun. Leadvilh, Sept. 22. At 1 o'olock this morning, three heavy explosions aroused tbe sleepers in tbe eastern part of tbe oity for blocks around tbe Coro nado mine, whioh ia the one that first resumed operations, and whioh was heavily bar' loaded, and well stocked with provisions and arms. The explosions were followed uy a fusilade ot rifle shots, apparently from within (he barrioade, and rapid but ir regular shots from the outside, ap parently from a widely soattered at tacking foroe, who were on band to protect tbe retreat of the dynamiters. The shooting lasted for ten minutes, and all was silent for about five min utes, when desultory firing was re newed and kept up until daybreak. Ten minutes after tbe first explo sion, a telephone message from the jCoronado stated that nobody inside the barrioade had been injured. ( The telegraph offloe is watohed by several bands of men grouped in dark oorners and alleys, and this may mean they propose to prevent any communi cations. Tbe oity is in a panic of fear. County and oity officials are out look ing after tbe work of tbe police and sheriffs. Bullets frequently whistle over the office from whioh this message ia being sent. At 3 o'olook a fire has broken out and is believed to be tbe oil tanks in side the barricade at tbe Coronado shafthouse, A telephone message just reoeived from the mine says that nohe of tbe defenders have been hurt as yet 2:10 A. M. The sights and. sounds beggar description. All the whistles in tbe oity are blowing, and two or three steam sirens add disoord to the dark night's alarming ohorns. Tbe sharp oraoks of rifles punotuate tbe tooting at irregular intervals. Citizens bave gone to the scene with whatever arms they can gather, and a militia oompany has just marobed to ward tbe Coronado under arms. Tbe whistle whioh oalls out all citi zens in case of emergenoy baa just sounded, and the streets are full of rushing men, orying women and chil dren. , 2:15 A. M. Another heavy explo sion baa just occurred. Five minutes ago, tbe Coronado telephone bore the message that the defenders were too busy to answer questions. As soon as the fire broke out, the fire department went to the soene and the flames seem to be dying ont, indioating effective work by the firemen. It is said that a fireman named O'Keefe, when he started to turn on water at the fire, was shot. Shots are still heard at infrequent intervals. 8:00 A. M. The first Herald-Democrat reporter to return ' from tbe fire states that besides Fireman O'Keefe two unknown men are dead. He can not tell as yet bow many bave been wounded, and is not sure that this is the list of dead. 8:10 A. M. It is now reported that John Mahoney, who works at the Big Four, while on bis way from the mine, and near the Emmet mine, was shot through the stomach and is believed to be dead. Another man had all his clothing torn from his body, but es caped with bis life. The miners' strike, of whioh to night's lawlessness is tbe outcome, be gan three months ago yesterday, when at 11 o'olook at night the men in two or three of the leading mines walked out. The union scale of wages in Leadville was (3 for everybody, but in 1898, when the prioe of silver dropped below 60 cents an ounce an agreement was made that (2. 60 should be accept ed for some classes of work until sil ver should return to 83 cents. This -Kreemout the miners afterward de clared was unfair, as many of tbe mines paid large dividends. It was to enforce the original soale of (3 that the men struok. About 3,000 men were involved. Within the last two weeks several mines have resumed work, and this weok the output has been 1,200 tons daily, against 2,000 tons before the strike. A dipBacth from Denver states that Governor Molntyre has ordered out the entire state militia to quell the riot. TRUNK FULL OF DYNAMITE. A Startling Discovery Made in a Chi CHgo i,origlug-lIotise. Chicago, Sept 22. Joseph Bestman, said by the police to be an anarchist, left at 18 Sedgwick oourt tnree years ago this fall, a trunk containing suffi cient dynamite to have destroyed an acre of property in Chicago, and to bave killed hundreds of people. The disoovery was made by accident Best man was not found, but tbe police re ceived information in the afternoon that be is living in Dallas, Tex., and wired the chief of police there to arrest bim at once. The discovery of this enormous quantity of explosive ma terial and the story of Bestman him self, 'so far as now known to the police, brings to light a tale of auachistic plot tings such as Chicago has not revealed since the dark days of 1885, wben the existence of tbe city was threat ened, and Spies and his comrades were swung on the gallows for the bomb- 1 throwing at the Haymarket massacre. : Much correspondence with tbe con-' demned anarchists was also found. London and Liverpool are both at the level ot the sea. An Engineer's Carelessness. San Francisco, Sept. 23. Tbe tui Ethel and Marion was sunk this morn ing, owing to tbe carelessness of her engineer, wbo attached a boae to h-r water tanks and then went off up town Before he returned the tanks and hall were filled, and the tug ia now at tbe bottom of the hay near the wbarf where she was moored. It is estimated that a lightning flash is only visible 1-20,000 part of a second. To Prison for Lira. San Francisco, bep 28. Olivet Winthrop, tbe chief conspirator in the abduction and robbery of James Camp bell, tbe Hawaiian millionaire, was tbia monriug sentenced to life im prisonment tor his crime. Cambpell was one c ay lart monih inveigled into a cottage at tbe west end of California street where he was robbed of all the money be bad on bis person and kept for two days, the robbers, of whom Winthrop was the leader, making re peated attempts to foroe tbe aged mil lionaire to pay a ransom of (20,000 to secure his release. This Campbell re fused to do, and the oonspiratora finally released their victim for fear of being detected in their crime. Winthrop was subsequently arretted, at tbe insti gation of Camr.bell, and was tried with the above result Would Sot Up a Republic, New York, Sept. 23. It is whisper ed around tbe oity that an influential and farramifying conspiracy exists to overthrow the dynasty of China and es tablish a republic While the Chinese empire is in no imminent danger, there is an organization with headquarters in New York whioh has for its ulti mate object its overthorw, but will content itself for tbe present with an agitation looking to the betterment of the Chinese people. This organization has its headquarters in New York and a large and influential offshoot in San Francisco, and branohes in every oity where Chinese abound. Its members are banded by solemn oaths, and no Chinese are admitted who are not in telligent and of good moral obaraoter. ' Ed Crane's Suicide. Rochester, N. Y., Sept 22. Ed Crane, onoe a noted pitcher of the New York ball team, ooiumittedjsuioide at tbe Congress Hall hotel here last night by taking a dose of obloroform. Crane had been in hard luck of late years, and was penniless and despondent He was 82 years of age. A widow and one child survive him. RATE DEMORALIZATION. Serloar Times Ahead for Soma of the Western Lines. Chioago, Sept. 22. Unless tbe stock holders of the Western roads soon take aotion similar to that which resulted in the formation of the Joint Tariff Association among the trunk lines of the East, there are serious times ahead for some of the Western lines. The situation among Western roads has pever been worse in their history than it is today, and it is telling severely on their revenues. Eaoh line is putting in reduced rates to secure business as it offers, and indications are that rates on all commodities of oonsequence will soon be down to bedrock. The daily bulletins issued by the agent of the roads in Washington show that the tariffs issued are failing in their reve nues to the roads, and in the opinion of some ot tbe conservative traffio offl. oials of the western roads, tbe only thing that will remedy tbe situation ia aotion by tbe owners and investors in tbe road and a demand that the presi dents take aoiton that will, in a short time, end tbe demoralization. Tbe Western Freight Association is the latest oragnization of the roads in freight matters, and Commissioner Midgley, of that organization, found it nboessary to ibsub laat week a personal appeal to the roads to inform bis office at the same time the information is sent out . to tbe interstate commerce commission, of the proposed reduced rates. Numerous instances have oo ourred where members of the association bave given the commissioner no notice whatever of their intention to out rates, and his information has oome from tbe agent at Washington. He asked the roads to notify him simul taneously with the notice sent to the commission, and to oontinue the prac tice until better conditions, can be in augurated. One of the prominent officials ot one of the great Western lines said today: ; "I am convinced that if the stock holders and investors do not interest themselves in this matter before long, some of the lines will bave great diffi culty in avoiding bankruptcy." FAIR OPEN IN GLORY. The Public Throngs the Great Expo sition Building. Portland, Or., 8ept. 22. Tbe Ore gon Industrial Exposition was opened Saturday night amid a blaze of Bplen dor and glory that more than insured its suocess, and the verdict of the pub- lio which attended, 8,000 strong, was that it meiited the claim of being the ; greatest and most attractive exposition j ever held in the Northwest This ver- j diet was not difficult to arrive at, as ' the marvelous transformation that the j big building has undergone has made it a hundred fold more attractive than ' the bleak, barrack-like structure, light-! ed by glarisb aro lamps, that is remem- j bered of former years. The people , weie surprised; the new musio ball I and tbe new promenade surprised tbem exceedingly, but it was an agreeable and happy surprise, and they went away delighted. Mayor Pennojer for-' mally opened the exposition with a brief address, and pressed tbe button which started tbe machinery in motion, i The fair will continue until October 17, and the various nights will be re plete with attractions. j Four Powder Mills Blown Cp. Springfield, Mass., Sept 22. Four powder mills at Hazardville, Conn., were blown- up today. Lightning struck one, causing the explosion. No ; one was killed or injured. Thousands ' of panes of glass were broken in town. Sixty Cents la Trade for Wheat. Moscow, Idaho, Sept 21. Mercan tile firms of this city are offering sixty cents bushel in trade for wheat The cash price is thirty-six cents. Wneat ia pouring in here. A SOARING MACHINE TESTED. Octavo Chanule's Invention Has rrorsn a Great Success. Chicago, Sept 81. Tbe first free test ot Ootave Chanute's albatross soaring machine, invented and con structed by William Paul, was made hc Miller, lnd., last evening nnder fa vorable oonditiona, wbile the machine waa heavily loaded with ballast, so aa to prevent it from flying any great dis tance, and vtaa anohored by four ropes, eaoh 300 feet long. Tbe three points which the trial waa to decide, first, as to whether it would leave tbe chute evenly; second, whether it would right itself in tbe air; third, whether, wben it oommenced to descend, it would move downward slowly and alight easily.were all determined in a manner gratifying both to the inventor and owner. The flight waa less than 100 feet, but tbe desoent and final alight ing on the sand were aa graceful and evt-n aa though the bird from whioh the maohine waa patterened. The trial proved the maohine perfect Iv safe, a proof which was the more acceptable, iuasmnoh as it has been asserted that the maonine waa danger ous, and that an attempt to fly would be sure to result in death to the operat or. Another test will be made soon MICHAEL, THE IRISH WONDER. Broke the World's Record for a One flour Competition, Paced Kaoe. New York, Sept 81. James Miobael, tbe Irish wonder, smashed all the American reoorda for one-hour com petition (paoed) race this afternoon at the first annual national oironit meet ing of the Quill Wheelmen at Manhat tan beaoh. Twenty-seven miles and 1,090 yarda atands to the credit of the foreigner for one hour, but Frank Star buck, of Philadelphia, waa only thirty yarda behind him at tbe finish, and only for some bad blundering on the part of his paoemakera ahortly after the fifth mile, would have given Miohael the raoe of his life. Starbuok lost a little more than a half mile in tbe early part of tbe oontest by having no paoemakera, but in the last twenty minutes even at the terrifio gait both were traveling, succeeded in not only passing his competitor aa they spun around the traok, but bad nearly oaugbt him at the finish, having gained over a lap and a half. Some of tbe oredit of this wonderful exhibition of enduranoe and speed was due to Starbuck's pace makers, who evidently tried to make up for their early blundering, and in a gteat part succeeded. . THREE FASTEST HEATS. Remarkable performance of Btar Pointer at My.tlo Point. Medford, Mass., Sept 21. Star Pointer, at Myatio Point, this after noon, not only beat two aooredited faster horses Kobert J. (2:01 K) ana" Frank Agan (2:08) but paoed the three fastest beats ever made in compe tition, tbe time being 2:02, 2:08 1-8 and 2:03, an average of 2:084'. He also lowered tbe world'a record for the fastest .heat ever paoed 2:02 aa well as tbe reoorda for the fastest quar ter and bait 29 and 69, respec tively. The raoe between tbe three paoera was phenomenal, for, wbile in tbe first, heat Robert J. was beaten by ten lengths, in the next two be waa olose on the leaders, ooming in second in the third heat Frank Agan in the whole raoe was never a length behind, and at one time was a nose to the good. Star Pointer, however, man aged to go under the wire first in every heat, and muBt have bad something in reserve, for MoCarthy never raised hir whip in the three times. KILLED HIS MOTHER. J. E. Perry Found Guilty of Man slaughter at Murray, Idaho. Wallaoe, Idaho, Sept 21. It is re potted from Murray that tbe jury found J. E. Perry guilty of manslaugh ter. Perry ia the young man who killed his mother with a hatchet it Wallaoe early one morning last April. There were no witnesses to the tragedy, although there were a number of per sons in the immediate vioinity of the shanty where the killing was done, and any violent quarrel would have been beard. After tbe tragedy Perry fled, carrying tbe batobet, but was oap tured, after a fierce resistance. He had twice been an inmate of asylums for the insane in Colorado and Washington. Tbe defense sot up a plea of insanity at tbe trial. A Unique Epistle. Washineton. Sent 21. The nerson- sl letter from the Emperor of China to j Trident Cleveland, which formed , lie credentials of Li Hung Chang, ha j aaom nlunail rtn avliihiHnn in tho liVirnt-ff I of the department of state. Tbe letter is written on a scroll of lemon-colored parchment paper abouj five feet in lentgb by a foot and a half in width, a portion being in ancient Chinese and part - in Chinese characters with tbe royal red seal and the emperor's auto graph in tbe center. Tbe envelope U unique, being a great sheet of yellow satin embroidered in gold and silver, with exquisite workmarsbip, with fiva large Chinese double dragons, conve niently arranged. It is said tbat bees can fly 20 pei cent faster than pigeons. Valparaiso, Sept 21. Months ago the press and several members of con gress denounced tbe governments man agement of the telegraph lines, alleg ing gross frauds. The matter was sup pressed, but now obarges are again made to the same purport It ia re ported tbat an investigation will be made and surprising revelations are ex pected. Friends of President Monat in tbe bouse and senate are preparing a demonstration in bia honor before he leaves tbe executive chair. NO ASTORIA ROAD SOON. Nearly All the Workmea to Be Laid Off for Lack of funds. Portland, Or., Sept 21. Rumorahave been afloat for tbe past day or two to the effect that work on the Astoria Uoble railroad was to be stopped for the winter. There bave been ao many reports in regard to this road tbat any new one attracts but little attention; but It appears on investigation that this latest one, wbile not wholly cor rect, la well founded. From tbe best information attaina ble, it seems quite oertain that about three-fourths of tbe men at work on tbe line are to be laid off today. Tbe three dredges, whioh have been work ing night and day building the em bankment, or grade, aoross the tide lands above Tongue point, will be kept at work; but will work in the day time only. It waa reported yesterday tbat eighteen of tbe camps on tbe road bave been abandoned, and that there are only eleven left This means tbe oessation of work on tbe greater part of tbe line on high ground. Tbe reason given for keeping the dredges at work on the tideland is that it is desirable to get tbe grade built there before next apriug, as a high flood might Interrupt it. The work on tbe high ground oan be done at any time, and next summer to better advantage than during tbe winter, and there need be no trouble about the road being oompleted by next harvest It ia said tbat the reason for stopping work is the impossibility of securing money to carry it on, on ao oount of tbe financial situation. DYNAMITER BELL ARRAIGNED. Accused of Conspiracy and Remanded for a Weak. London, Sept 2!. Edward Bell, tbe alleged Irish dynamiter, arrested at Glasgow, waa arraigned In the Bow street p ilioe oourt today. He is de scribed as Edward Bell, alias Edward J. Ivory, an Amerioan, and a hotel keeper at 211 Lexington avenue, New York. Bell la sooused of oouspiring with others to oause an explosion in the United Kingdom. He was re manded for a week and removed to Hulloway jail this afternoon. New York, Sept 21. The only Ed ward J. Ivory in the New York oity di rectory i given aa doing business in liquors, ai 2201 Lexington avenue and 3018 Eighth avenue.- About two weeks ago Ivory went on a vaoation, leaving tbe saloon iu oharge of tbe head l artender. He is supposed to be in Boston. The bartender wrote him a few days ago, and reoeived a letter from Ivory telling bim about oertain matters concerning the saloon. . An other Ivory kept a saloon on East One Hundred and Eighteenth street Some time ago be mysteriously disappeared. In spite of the statement of the bar tender, there is good reason for tbe statement that Bell and Ivory are one and the same person. " ' '' ' '" - Weloomad by the Chronicle. London, Sept 21. Tbe Chroniole this morning has an editorial in whioh it weloomea the suggestion of the St James' Gazette that new driebund, including Great Britain, the United States and Italy, would . solve the Armenian problem. The Chroniole looks upon this as a proposal having nothing in oomomn with cynical in difference, and greatly hopes tbat it will find an eoho in the United States. Tbe Chroniole then proceeds to assert tbat an Amerioan admiral waa last year ordered to bombard Yildiz palace, if there waa any further massaore ot Armenians. "Tiiese orders," says the Chroniole, "were - subsequently withdrawn when tbe Venezuela dispute oame to a bead a single example of tbe danger of leav ing suoh disputes to simmer until they boil over at tbe most disastrous mo ment. The sooner Lord Salisbury and Mr. Olney oan agree to the arbitration of the question, the better will be tbe chance ot union whioh tbe St. James' Gazette so wisely oommends." Bo Got No Patronage. San Franoisco, Sept. 21. The Cali fornia Hotel Men's Association has de cided to institute legal proceedings to compel Major W. B. Hooper, manager of the Occidental hotel, to pay (800 into the association. Tbis aotion re oalls tbe story of the difficulties whioh grew out of the visit to this oity in April last of several hundred members of tbe Hotel Men'a Mutual Benevolent Association. To entertain tbe visitors tbe local association raised several thousand dollars. Major Hooper sub scribed (300. The visitors arrived and tbe Occidental hotel manager was oalled upon to pay. He refused to do so on the ground that he bad not been aooorded a fair share of -the patronage of the visiting hotel men. None of tbe visitors went to the Oooidental. At the last quarterly meeting Major Hooper was expelled from the associa tion. Those Who Pell at Antietara. Hagerstown, Md., Sept. 31.
