It is expected that 10,000,000 salmon fry will be turned into the Columbia river this yeur. Of this number, 8, 000,000 will come from the Clackamas hatchery, 8,000,000 from Sandy sta tion, 8,000,000 from Little White Salmon, and 8,000,000 from the bead waters of the Claokamas. It is believed that 35,000 persons are without the necessaries of life in Guay aquil as a result of tbe recent fire there.

An east-bound Union Pacific pas senger train was held up a short dis tance east of Uintah, Utah, near tbe mouth of Weber canyon, and about eight miles from Ogden. No passen gers were molested, the robbers con fining their operations to the mail and express cars. The baggage and express cars were uncoupled by the robbers and run ahead of the train a few hundred yards and both oars broken open. Tbe robber failed to open tbe safe in the express car. Railway officials say the booty secured was a few mail bags, but as a great portion of tbe mail was cor respondence between banks, inclosing exchanges and remittances, and always a good proportion of cash, tbe loss is supposed to be of consequence. Five outlaws appeared at the ranch of K. T. Brooke, an Englishman, wboee place is near Tonkawa, U. T., and who is considered wealthy. They called Brooke to the door and com manded him to hold up his hands. their apparent purpose being robbery. Foreign Grain Crops. The European orop reports of tht grlonltural department, issued by tbe chief statistician at Washington, shows that tbe orop of Great Britain bus been somewhat reduced in tbe north and in Sootland by the persistent wet weather of September, which practically ruined most of the wheat then ungathered. In tbe southern oocntries harvesting operations were oompleted before tbe bad weathor set in, and the wheat is of a finer milling quality than has been known for years. A Dynamite Kploslen. A large quantity of dynamite in a magazine of the Dayton Coal & Iron Company, at Dayton, Tenn., exploded, wrecking many buildings and destroy ing an oleotiro light plant, putting out all tbe lights.

Peace in Mntabelelund, Cecil Rhodes. Earl Grey, adminis trator of the British South Africa Com pany, and other officials had a final un derstanding with the Mutabele chiefs. Mr. Rhodes announoed to them that, after yielding up their arms and those of their number who bad been guilty of murdering whites, tbe Matabeles must locate themselves in specified dis tricts of the country. The priuoipal chiefs would be held responsible and would receive monthly salaries from the British Chartered South Africa Company. The chiefs all agreed to this proposition, and it is believed tbe whole Matabele trouble is now at an end. Hatchet Men are Doomed. The end of the highbinder days in Ban Franoisoo has come. A dozen headquarters of the hatohet-men were destroyed, and tbe work of destruction will be oontinued. The agent of tbe oonsul-general overthrew the josses, broke down the signs and dismantled the headquarters where the hatohet- men have been wont to meet, and tbe I Celestial desperadoes are now homeless and bunted. This outcome is weloomed by all in San Franoisoo, for another virulont outbreak was expected at any time in San Franoisoo. Held Up by Women.

Secretary La mont will tomorrow transmit to the secretary of the treasury his estimate of appropriations required by the war department for the next fiscal year. The aggregate is $52,875,038. The estimate for the running ex penses of the war offloe in Washington ia $1,401,230, showing, the secretary says, a reduction in the annual ex penses for salaries and contingencies in that offloe of $021,042 from the estimate of four years ago. The other estimates in detail are is follows: Pay of tho array, an fixed by law S1.V!,W0 Kuiwinti-iii'o of the army I,i.iV,k7 QunrlcrmuKUT's supplies a.'jim.unu Incidental expeimuH of tho army unu,vw Uarrat'kN and quarters, Including lion- pltal construction ; :,(Xki Rhooting ratines Cavalry and artillery homes 1:u,ikki Army transportation Smo.tiou Clothing 1,H,(JU Medical supplies IMV-IW Ordnance deportment 1,1:11, Military academy Ml,itl2 Arsenals lU'VJti Military posts, naiinoui cemeteries and national parks l,.vr,,:ftO Soldiers' homes II, 141,-14 Artificial limbs lor soldiers of the late war I'.pUHJO Public buildings and grounds in Washington VW Miscellaneous 4ir..',iiu Klvers and harbors 6,:I,UU0 The latter sum is to meet payment on existing contracts, the department at this time being unable to say what sum will be required by future con tracts for whioh authority exists. The estimates for foritfications and sea-coast defenses has been increased to $15,802,201, an amount, Secretary Lamout says, whioh will be required to continue this work at its present rate of progress, which has been appre ciably advanced under the large ap propriation which became available July 1 last. In oonneotion with his estimate, the secretary made publio a statement of the condition of this work, tho ad vance made and the results that oan be effected by this increased appropriation which he asks. On July 1, 1808, but one modern gun bad been placed in position, uu the first of July, 1897, the department shall have completed defenses with armaments as follows: Thirteons 12 inch, thirty-seven 10-inch, eight 8 inch and four rapid-firing guns and eighty 12-inch mortars. The reaminder of Soeretary Lamont's letter transmitting the estimates is of a historical nature, reviewing the prog ress made in sea-coast defense He says that for 15 years preceding 1890, no appropriations had been made for engineering work on our permanent ooast defenses, exoept the Binall and steadily decreasing sum annually al lowed for "the protection, preservation and repair" of existing works. But small amount had been granted for the ooDBtruotion of mining case mates and for the purohase, of ma terial for submarine defenses, while in 1888 and 1889, a total of about $3, 000,000 had been appropriated for modern guns, mortars and carriages. In 1890 was made tbe first appropria tion, $1,211,000, for modern guns and mortar batteries, followed by one of $750,000 in 1891, and by another of $500,000 in 1892. This money was allotted by the department for oonstruo tion work at various ports, including a total of four 12-iuch, twenty 10 inch, five 8-inch and two rapid-firing guns, emplacements, and sixev-four 13-inch mortar emplacements. None of them, however, could be made ready to re ceive its armament until after the first mall appropriations in 1893, and the two succeeding years. Prjotically, therefore, it was, tbe secretary says, devolved upon the war department since 1893 to make provisions for the completion of nearly all of these em placements. "It appears," the seoretary says, "that seveuteen out of twenty-one 12 inch emplacements, fifty-five out of sixty-six 10-iuch emplacements, twenty out of twenty-five 8-inch emplace I ments, fourteen out of sixteeu 12-iuch i rapid-firing emplacements, and ninety I two out of 160 13 inch mortar em placements have been entirely provided for during the last four years; and that during the same time a larg6 part of those previously provided for have been prepared to receive their armament." Wheat Took a Jump. Chicago, Oct. 21. Wheat made record-breaking jump today. Decem ber option, wlnub closed Saturday at 75 5-8o, opened this morning st?8j to 79 l-8o, steadying nt the latter figure, an advance of U.''c. The wildest ex oitmoent chaiacit-rized tbe trading. There was talk of possible failures. After a momentary reaction to 79c, De cember wheat soon went bevond the top figures, touching 79' several times within the first fifteen minutes of business. Just before 10 A. M. the market took a sudden plunge down ward to 78 'j, reacting later to 78?a Shortly after 10 the price receded to 78'o, then within a few minutes it : advance a full cent. During the frenzy 1 at the opening a few trades were made as high as 790, while sales at the same moment in other parts of tbe pit were at different figures, ranging all the way to 78)0.

CLOSE OF AN EPISODE. Information was gained tonight that : when Sir Julian Pauncefote shall ar ' rive in this country tomorrow, be will I oome with such instructions as to leave no room for doubt that he and Seoretary 1 Olney will be able in a short time to formally reach an agreement for final ; settlement of the dispute. The propsi , tious to be ptesented by Sir Julian will ! embrace greater concessions than have ; ever heretofore been made by Great i Britain. ' i ' The details of Ambassador Puu'ice ' fote's instructions will, of course, not j be known until after his arrival here, i but tbe state department has informs 1 tion of tbe general natme of the new proposals to be submitted by the British goveurment, and tbe president and Sec retary Olney are satisfied there will be id difficulty in adjusting whatever differences may still exsit. between the two countries. , Just how ' this information has reached the administration authorities is not known, but it is presumed it came through Ambassador . Bayard, since the conference in London some days ago between" Lord Salisbury, Joseph Chamberlain and . SirvJuliau Pauncefote. , . v . . Before Mr.' Chamberlain returned to London froui his summer visit to this ootintry, a satisfactory understanding had been, reached informally between him and Secietary Olney in regard to the districts, whioh was the main bone of ootit'Uition at the last exchange of notes between the two countries. Mr. Chamberlain, who bus charge of , the colonies, was much better informed, t iau anyotber member of tbe British cabinet in regard t ) British, settlers in the disputed territory aud was therefore well qualified to discuss all details with Mr. Olney. When be left the United States there was an agreement, as to a plan that Lake jtrnnir Humrd. i could be adopted for settling this Cleveland, Oot 20. A speoial from , phase, of the controversy, but. of oourse, WEEKLY MARKET LETTER. Downing, llopklus 45 t'o.'s Trade, Itevlew of President III lcora-d By the King of the ItelalHiis. City of Mexioo, Oct. 20. An event marking the close of a great historio episode ccourred yesterday, when the Belgian minister, in the name of his majesty, Leopold II, king of the Bel gians, bestowed on President Diaz as a mark of the honorable regard in which tbe president of Mexico is held in Bel gium. Tim significance of this act lies in the fitct that King Leopold is the brother of the late Kmprets Carlotta, of Mexico, and bis bettowal of tbe or der upon the president of tbe rebuplio is an indication I hat the Maximillian epis ide is now definitely cloted. Presi dent Diaz has, as a matter of publio policy, and as a means of drawing all parties and factions together and oblit erating tho past, bestowed high olfioes on distinguished adherents of the late empire, and has thus brought about an . era of good feeling and fraternal senti-, ment prey,i,pv8)ly jduKdowii in Mxeico, Sturgeon Bay, Wis,, says tbe big steamer Australasia, owned by James Ccrrigan, of this oity, was burned last night on Lake Michigan and now lies at the bottom of wbiterh-h bay. The steamer, wbich was valued at 100,000, was loaded with a cargo of 2,000 tons of coal for Milwaukee, oacght fire about 11 o'clock. Full steam was put on and an effort made tobeaeh the ves sel, the crew in tbe meantime making a terrifio fight against the flames. At last shoal water was reached, just as the life-caving crew arrived at the ves sel and rescued the orew. Tbe vessel soon afterward Funk. A Crank Arrested, San Francisco, Oct. 20. W. ' F. Barrett, who imagined be bad been delegated to establish the inuocence of Theodore Durraut, during the latter's trial, whs arrested tonight for insanity. Parret accosted a man named Riordan ; on the street and ordered him to throw up his hands. Hiordan succeeded in j putting Mm to flight, aud meeting ! Policemen Benjamin and Clancey, in formed them of the occurrence. They j pursued the lunatic, and at Eaves street overtook him. He resisted vig- j oronsly, but was subdued after a short struggle and taken to the oity prison. 1 GeMnany Wants a Chinese Fort. London, Oct. 20. A Berlin dispatch to tbe Times says the usually well-informed Soblessiche Zeitung reports the German government meditates sending a conmiUsiou to endeavor to secure a tract of territory on tbe east coast of China, to enable Germany to Bhare in the iiif'rstry and commercial develop ment of China. it was informal aud subject to approval j by Lord Salisbury. Evidently tbe lat- tor has acquiesoed in tbe reoommenda- tion made by Chamberlain, sinoe bis ' return, as the information received at the state department in , tbe pafct few days is that a new proposition to be presented by Ambassador Pauncefote upon his arrival will be in the line of the conclusions reached by Mr. Olney and Mr. Chamberlain during their in lormal conferences this summer. Immediately upon tbe arrival of Am bassador Pauncefote, the negotiations between him and Olney for final agree ment on and details for arbitration will be resumed, and it is the expecta tion of the offioials of tbe state depart ment that tbey will be finally closed in amplo time for the president to an nounce the fact in his annual message to oongreBS. It is understood the ambassador oomes with instructions which enable him not only to settle tbe controversy with the United States before the con vening of congress, but to arrange for resumption of diplomatic relations between Great Britain and Venezuela, wbioh have been severed for some years. Upon the successful issue of the ne gotiations for arbitration treaty natur ally binges the question of renewed friendly relations between Great Brit ain and Venezuela, and tbey will, of course, both oome at the same time. Portland, Or., Oot 21. It has al ways been the oluim of old truders tha. numorous fluctuations increases specu lation. There is no lack of the latter, but the former does not appear to come to the front with any degree of free dom, although there has been a decid ed improvement from the dullness that prevailed thirty days ago. There was enough action last week to suit any trader. Wheat moved within a raiue of 1 cents, and to make the situation more favorable to holders, closing figures were within a fraction of the highest point There is a good tone to everything, and the tendency is gradually upward. The lowest prices this year have been seen, and the backers of both political parties claim that whichever way the election goes prices are bound to ad vance. There will be many sharp breaks from tbe bulges, and the opera tors who do not take too large lines and realize profits on all good bulges, and buy back on the declines, will make a good deal ot money. We have enough of everything to supply our wants, and a good surplus of grain and hogs. Tbe foreign situation is so strong that we will have a good mar- ket at remunerative prices for all that we can spare. The crops of feed stuffs in tbe United Kingdom are shorter than for years, and they are taking our corn aud oats to make up the defici ency. Large purchases have already been made at Chicago and at the sea board of corn and oats, and our exports are the largest in years, and give evi dence of exceeding all records. Mew bull factors are consequently coming to the front with surprising regularity, especially in wheat, and it has a tendency to create tbe impres sion in the minds of some operators that there is some mysterious force, at work in the market, as it bas lately been helped at the most opportune moments. Our crops of winter and spring were damaged at a time when tbey gave the best promise. Russian farmers in many districts were also unfortunate, as their favorable prospects have been cut down. Now there are reports com ing in that India's orop bas suffered from drought, although there have been good rains in a few sections. The English colony in Calcutta is buying wheat in San Francisco for shipment to that port. Australia also continues to buy wheat there. Liverpool is evidently-Working the wheat for Calcut ta, as they have the information in ad tauoe.of other points. Stocks of wheat in European ports are 82,000,000 busbies less than last year, Aut the quantity on passage 'is 1, J 0,0,000 bushels more, having increased 6,1)00,000 bushels during September. Afloat stocks are also larger at this time than in five years, with the excep tion ot 1893, when tbey were 5,000,000 bushels more. Stocks in store are the lightest in years, but it should be re membered that the tendenoy on the part of foreigners has been to work with lighter supplies. This makes the foreign situation strong. The world's available supply is the smallest in fiv years. TWO " CHILDREN KILLED. Another Fatally Wounded Thrown Front a Wagou In Wasco County. Arlington, Or., Oot 21. Word was reoeived here today of a terrible acoi dent that ooourred near Thirty-Mile, in this oounty yesterday. A span of wild horses that were hitohed to a wagon, in wbich were the wife and children of Will Davis, ran away, overtnrning the wagon. Two of the children were killed, aud another 'fa tally injured. In their flight, the horses ran against a tree, breaking the wagon tongue, and turning the wagon over endwise. Mr. Davis was not in tbe wagon, but had tied the horses to a fence, from wbich they broke away. RECOGNITION OF CUBANS. A Worklnsnien's Petition. Cape Town, Oct. 20.

Five con victs of San (jnentin, each of whom has some years yet during wbioh he must wear stripes, were today sworn in as Salvation Army recruits, in the presenoe of nearly a thousand of their fellow-prisoners. They signed tbe "articles of war," and ire ' regularly enlisted members of the army. Ii was an impressive ceremony, taken in con nection with its surroundings, and was the first of its kind ever held in Ameri ca. Tbe service was conducted by a party of Salvation Army officers, head ed by Major Milsap, editor of the War Cry. of several thousand workingmen here a resolution was passed praying the gov ernment of Cape Colony to summon parliament with a view of abolishing tbe duties on foodstuffs. Those who attended the meeting afterward formed a procession and Tarried their resolu tions to the governor. Decisive Action by te President With in Three Months. Chicago, Oct. 19. A Washington speoial says: If Spain does not end tbe war in Cuba in three months, tbe insurgents will receive from the United States virtual recognition of their in dependence. It can be stated that the president does not expect that Spain will end the war with the tactics em ployed during the present- year and that he is fully convinced that tbe grave duty will devolve upon him of takiDg a vigorous sUnd in the matter. A high official of the government said tonight that action m.iy be looked for by the first of the year. Long before then the Venezuela question will be disposed of and the administration will be left free to devise a plan for TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION. New Straek a Hl Wave.

Mew Outlet for Grain. Topeka, Oct 20. Owing to the fact that the drought this summer damaged the wheat crops of tbe country, and that the Mexican government has re moved the duty on grain for a period of several months, Kansas grain ia now on the move into Mexico.
