Waiiiii!(ito'(, Au. 18. It liecomes
pim'tiiit M the ilohate in the tioune
prrruHms that the tt of stretiKth W
tween the silver and anti-silver forces
will he nhown on the suhHtitute for free
colirnxo at the ratio 6f 10 to 1 iimtea'l of
20 to 1, which lias been the popular
ImprciHiun suioiiK anti-silver tnen. The
werk points in the scale of ratiu above
it 1 have develoi ed gradually. Metisrs.
Bland, Bymn and ot'ier veteran silver
ilca are tolling their followers that an
increase In the ratio would be a conces
sion to the single gold standard, for it
would be an adiniwtion that the future
urns of money must depend upon its
intrinsic value, instead of the stamp of
government, and would tie suhjpet to
cliangu just as the price of bullion
fluctuates. The fri'e-silver leaders are
counseling their followers lo mars their
strength on a suhHtitute of 19 to I, and
many of them will decline to vote for a
higher ratio on the ground that it would
be a degradation of the white metal as a
monetary standard. The silver men
admit now that the repeal vote will pass
the house by a large majority because
of the peculiar variety of free-coinage
views, but they hoie tlia the senate
will return the bill to the house with
certain concessions to silver coinage.
Th Folic; of China.
Cleveland, Aug. -"2. A gentleman
of this city lias just received from a
friend in Tien Tein, China, a letter sta
ting that United States Consul Bowman,
who left the city a short time ago for
the United States, carried with him a
message from Viceroy Li Hung Chang
to President Cleveland, in which the
viceroy states that he appreciates the
good intentions of the president and
secretary of state, and thanks them for
their effort to secure the kind and just
treatment of the Chinese residing in
the United Mutes, lie feels keenly the
unfriendly nature and injustice of the
Geary law, but China will lake no action
thereon until the next sension of the
United States congress, in the hope
that the Geary law will be modified or
repealed. If the next congress decides
to enforce the law, China will at once
retaliate; friendly relations between tbe
two countries will be broken off, and
laws w ill be enacted looking toward the
expulfion of all Americans from China.
Meantime Instructions have been issued
to all Chinese officials to take especial
caro '.o protect all American citizens
living in China from violence.
Two Dsyi From St. Paul.
Portland, Aug, 20. John W. Hen
drick, general manager of the Northern
Pacific, who arrived here at 10 o'clock
yesterday forenoon from St. Paul on a
special train, with the papers filed in the
matter of the appointment of the re
ceiver for the Northern Pacific, made a
mont extraordinary run, which eclipses
anything of the kind ever attempted in
this region. He mado the trip from St.
Paul to Portland, lOoti miles, in 43 hours
running time, or 62 hours including stop
pages, to leave papers at Tacoma and
other places. This makes the rate of
running over 50 miles per hour for the
whole trip a rale of traveling seldom
equaled in such a run. This is equal to
the time made by the exposition flyer
over the New York Central and Lake
Shore lines, for a 20 hours' run, which
was heralded at the time as one of the
most wonderful feats of railroading. Mr.
Kendriek remained here only long
enough to attend to his business and
left here at 11 o'clock
Suit Again.t VUlard for $10,000,000
PitiLADKi.eitiA, Aug. 17. John Swope,
of Philadelphia, a stockholder of the
Northern Pacific has brought suit against
Henry Villard, Edwin H. Abbott,
Charles T. Colby and Colgate Hoyt on
the general charge of malfeasance in
ollico and mismanagement of the affairs
of the company in their capacity of
directors thereof. It is alleged that
they bought for the Northern Pacific
properties in which they wero person
ally interested, In this manner they
profited largely as individuals, whereas
the road lost heavily. Ten million
dollars is the sum named as the amount
of profits of these four directors.
The Drop Situation.
Nkw Yokk, Aug. 20. The American
Agriculturist's annual review of the crop
situation says the harvest of 1893 in the
United States in many respects is similar
to three years ago, with every prospect
that the home consumption and increased
foreign demand will so advance values as
to yield as large net returns to farmers as
tho avorage recent years. Indeed, the
review makes distinctly encouraging
exhibit, In spite of the prevalent drouth,
though admitting the financial stringency
may interfere with the early movement
of the crops and have a temporary res
trictive influence on prices. The Agri
culturist notes an Increased domestic
crop of sugar, but there is a shortage In
the world' production of 300,000 long
tons of sugar. Prices are more likely to
be affected by changes in legislation than
by changes in production. Hops will
make a lair average yield in the United
Ktates, but only s half to two-thirds of a
full crop in Germany and a light yield
in England. The export demand will
take at good price every bale of Ameri
can hops that can be spared. j
Holitca th. Black Flag.
Newark, N. J., Aug. 21. The unem
ployed workingmen held a large parade
today. At the head of the line marched
a man with a large black flag, upon
which in white letter wero the words,
''Signs of the Times I am Starving Be
cause He I Fat." Beneath was a pic
ture of a large well-fed man with a high
hat, and a starving workman beside him.
Another black flag with an inscription
of a similar purport, was carried in the
center of the line. At the city hall
Mayor Haynes, who was on the steps,
ordered the black flag taken down, ad
diog: "No one can march through these
streets unless the stars and stripes are
carried." The flags were then kept out
of sight for a while, but hoisted after the
center of the city was passed. A meet
ing later wax addressed by Emma Gold
man, the anarchist from New York, who
made a characteristic address. None
of the men in the proceesion presented
any appearance of starvation.
The Bilrer 8uti.
The New York Herald makes this
showing: The 58,tX J.l'OO ounces o( silver
produced in thiscountry last year was vir
tually all taken from four states and three
territories, having an aggregate popula
tion, as shown by the last census, of
only 1,000,000 people. Thus:

Here is a population less than 2 per

country and a product the total value of
which would scarcely pay one-fourteenth
of the yearly expenses of the federal
government alone.
Agtli tha Tide Hal Turned.
New York, Aug. 21. The bank pres
idents said today there was a very de
cided improvement in the situation.
The large imports of gold were having,
and must have, a very favorable effect ;
but notwithstanding tbe enormia
amount of gold that had been received,
and tbe prospect of still further large
amounts being received, currency still
commands a high premium, and as
much as 2 '4 per cent was demanded for
it today. Brokers said they were paying
this morning to 2.4 per cent for it,
and the supplv was not very large.
Willing to Wait for Wtgei.
Tkrrk Haltk, Ind., Aug. 20. The
employes of the Terre Haute car works,
numbering nearly 1000, most of whom
are in destitute circumstances owing to
the hick of work here, at a mass meeting
today tendered their services to tbe
company in clearing away tbe wreckage
of burned works and rebuilding the im
mense plant, offering to wait a year for
their wages. The company announces
thut it can't rebuild just now, but will
do so as soon as money is easier, and
thanks the employes for their good will.
Will Not Wade in Blood.
Chatapqua, N. , Aug. 18. At the
grange today Governor Waite, of Colo
rado, was chief speaker, addressing him
self to the silver question and closing :
"We of the West don't intend to wade
in blood or anything of tbe kind, but let
this oppression of the East continue and
then let any candidate of your old par
ties go before the people in 1806 on the
platform of protection, when the West
has no protection, and he will not re
ceive an electoral vote west of Ohio or
south of the Totomac.

Fairfikld, Wash. Aug. 22. Nearly a

Commercial Division.
A stoma, Aug. 23 John R. Reiter
was arraigned today before Judge Cleve
land, charged with the murder of Victor
Snellman. Though he speak English
fluently enough, he demanded a German
interpreter. He was asked if he was
reaily to stand preliminary trial Satur
day, and replied by saying that be was
in Portland the 4th innt., that he bad
murdered nobody and that be wanted
some witnesses. A good deal of com
ment was caused in court by the man's
mild and insipid appearance. He looks
like a meek, inoffensive farm band
without a trace of brutality on bis coun
tenance. Reiter tonight made a confession to
Sheriff Smith, in the presence of wit
nesses who signed the document after
the murderer bad affixed his own signa
ture. While not a direct statement that
he mnrdered Snellman, he makes' bim-
self an accessory and attempts to throw
i the act on an imaginary shipmate,
whose name he doe not know.
j feanojer Faron Stoeuioa.
I New Yobk, Aug 22 The World will
I print tomorrow opinions from a number
j of Western governors upon the proposi-
tion of commercial division of tbe United
States. The World telegraphed each of
' the governors of tbe Western states these
questions:
First What do yon think of the peti
tion of the Kansas officials for commer
cial division between the East and tha
West?
Second What would be the result of
the proposed convention ol governors to
consider this?
Governors Stone of Missouri, Lewell
ing of Kansas and Pennoyer of Oregon,
boldly favor thecoovention. The others
beard from oppose it. Governor Mc
Graw of Washington says any man who
proposes the secession of states is as
much a traitor today as in 1861. Gov
ernor Nelson of Minnesota expresses the
same sentiment. Governor Boise of
Iowa says it is unwise and does not
think any considerable number of the
governors would attend such a conven
tion. Work en But Building.
Salem, Or., Aug. 21. It has been' in
formally decided to go ahead with the
asylum and reform school additions,
though not so fast as first intended.
The bid of J. A. Hazel, $40,098, for the
additions to the reform school, and of I'.
C. Liebe, $21, 344, for the two cottages
and tbe congregated dining-hall at asy
lum, will be accepted and work will pro
ceed at once. The season is so far ad
vanced now that it is deemed pest only
to gather brick and lumber on the ground
at the reform school this year and be
ready to begin construction work early
in tbe spring. The lumber will be sea
soned and there will be dry weather to
finish the buildings, which will be a ma
terial advantage. At the asylum frames
will be erected and sheathed this fall
and the rest of tbe work will be left till
spring.
In Fim of tho United Statet.
Portland, Or., Aug. 22. It the case
of tbe United States against the Oregon
& California and Oregon Central rail
roads for forfeiture of certain lands in
Washington county amounting to several
thousand acres, Judge Bellinger, this
morning, decided in favor of the United
States. He held that the Oregon Cen
tral road, while a part of the Oregon &
California system, was a separate corpo
ration for the purpose of building a road
from Portland to Astoria ; that the road
was never built, and as a matter of
course the company forfeited the land
subsidy given by the Government.
Ho Bpeoial Sesilon.
Salem, Or., Aug.22. In response to
his inquiry, Governor Pennoyer has re
ceived letters from nearly all the mem
bers of the legislature, and as a majority
oppose calling a special session for the
purpose of passing a "stay law" the gov
enor will probably not call the special
session. Asked today as to the probab
ility of such a call being issued, the gov
enor said there would likely be none.
He intimated in even stronger language
that no call would be issued.
Will Hold tho Btate Fair.
Salem, Or., Aug 23. The state board
of agriculture held a meeting here today
and were unanimous in favor of going
ahead with tbe state fair this year. It
was guaranteed that the $6000 state war
rant, from which awards are to be paid,
will be cashed. The Salem band was
engaged to furnish music for $"C3.
