An linr Unt conference wai held today at the department ol Justice hetweon Solicitor- Oenernl Maxwell, Ailant Secretary Hamlin ami Mr. Tinule, chief of the niieoial aeiitu of the treaHury depart ment, in reifar j lo making preparation! for the proecution of the conHpiracy raw at 1'ortland.

These people occupied at Ihe time of their indictments hinh oflicial and social positions, and the case has attracted conid rable attention in (he northwest. At the conference today it was decided to employ special able counsel to asuist District Attorney Murphy in tho preparation and prosecu tion of these caxes attheNovemlterterm. Much of the evidence that will be submit ted on behalf of the government to prove its case was gone over today, and a general line of action niaptwd out which will be forwarded to District Attorney Murphy for his guidance. The opinion was ex pressed by a gentleman at the conference that the case of the government, as worked un bv Soecial Aitent Wood and others, was a strong case- Improv.m.Bt Ho ted la llaiineii. Nw Yohk. Sent. 22.-U. G. Dun A Co., in their weeklv review, say the in dustries are giving strong proof that the consumption of goods was not as much arrested as many feared whon the col lapse of trade and manafactures came. While manafacturers show extreme cau tion and decline to start work without orders, piling up goods at their own risk, the improved financial conditions enable thorn to accept many orders which would have been refused weeks ago, and act ual orders are rendered frequent by the exhaustion of retail supplies in many directions. The number of works resum ing this week lias been at least 58 wholly and 24 in part, against only 15 concerns mentioned having closed and eight rediicinu force.

Xiw Yoke, Sept. 25. The Herald's Montevideo special says the relxd fleet, which lias so long been blocking the harbor of Bio de Janeiro, bombarded Ihe city yesterday. Under Admiral Mello's order, the firing was very severe. and the damage done exceeded that of the first bombardment. Several women and children were killed, but the extent of the damage and the loss of life is not known, lor no news is permitted by the government to be sent direct from Rio de Janeiro.

Washington, Sept. 23. Tho president of the United States will bo ar raigned in the United States senate Monday for violating the spirit of the constitution in endeavoring to destroy the independence of the lawmaking branch of the government by seeking to coerce congress into the pussage of the reneal bill. Notice to this effect is clearly indicated in the resolution pre sented this morninit by Stewart of Nevada, upon which he announced he would address the senate Monday. The resolution declares the independence of tho coordinate departments of the gov ernment must be maintained, and the use of power and influence by one depart ment to control tho action of another is in violation of tho constitution and de structive to our form of government. Tho. introduction of the resolution created a sensation, and discussion of tho matter Monday will attract great attention, as it indicated the silver senators will divert the discussion in the senate to the alleged atttmpt of the president to control congress. Yellow Jack and Starvation. Bki'nsw ick, Ga., Sept. 21. One death occurred from yellow fever today ana two new cases are reported. Colonel Goodman, on behalf of the organized bodies governing the city, tonight issued a statement to the citizens of the United States, setting forth tho help lessness of tho Brunswick poor and appealing for relief . He asserts that out of a population of 4500, 870 are on the verge of starvation. All industries and.sources of employment aro closed aiminst tha employes, and have oeen for 40 days, thus depriving them of means to sustain life. rtchtlng In Braiil. London, Sept. 22. A private telogram sent from Rio Janeiro this morning, which reached London at noon says the government troops still hold possession of the city. Tho Teasels of the rebel fleet in tho harbor cleared their decks All notes for this column should be sent to Miss Jennie Kowen, editor, Beaver Creek, Oregon. THE NEW SYSTCM CBITICIStD. I have been requested to briefly notice Ihe article in the educational column of the Fntebpbisb headed "A New System" The first statement that attracts my attention is this, "If this system of tables was adopted and all other tables rejected, each scholar would save at least one year of school life, representing in the Lnited States a saving ol billions of oollara in short time." The idea is here advanced that much valuable time is wasted in mastering our tables of weights and measures. This is true under the system of spending weeks and months in learning by rote all the tables and putting none of them into practical use . The true method of learn ing a table is not by the tedious process of memorizing the same.but by using It. At a very early age the terms used in our tables of weights and measures such as foot, yard, pint, gallon, pound, etc. become a part of the child's vocabulary He knows their meaning and loves to apply them. How easy it is for him to tisn them In sentences, an exercise in language and numbers at the same time Many pleasant and profitable exercises can be daily given by the teacher in which these terms and their relations can be used and mastered. When the pupil reaches that part of Arithmetic called denominate numbers be should not find an unknown and unexplored field, the approach to which consisting of numerous and formidable tables which must be learned bv rote in about the same manner as a declamation is learned, before using any of it, but he should find a subject full of exercises in which he uses terms and measurements that have!been gradually, easily and deeply stamped into his ment al being by the various mind developing processes the skillful primary teacher knows bow to use. Tables should not be such a bug bear. The work of the school room is mainly the development of mind, and the child mind should be developed by exercises that build up approaches to subjects that follow. Time is not fuch an important lactor in early school life as some imagine. This and kindred subjects should be mastered before the child has become old enough to value time, but by practice. Our free school system has become so general and efh cient that children of every class can enter school at an an early ago, and be fore tbey aro old enough to be of much service on tho farm, in the shop or office Ihey are beyond the vexations of tables, and are being guided through other ed ucational fields. What teachers most need is not a rela tive value of different systems of weights and measures, but a knowledge of the best and most natural method of teach ing the system required by our own cus toms and commercial laws. II. S. Strange. EDUCATIONAL NOTK8. Tha state normal school opened last Monday with about 200 students enrolled and new ones constantly arriving. There is a full corps of teachers, some new ones, but mostly all old ones. This promises to be a very successful year of school notwithstanding tho financial conditions of tho country. Those present from Clackamas county are, Birdie Gribble, Daisy Lee. Francis Currin, Wm. v aughn, Madge Hill and Minnie Harrington. Hattie Willoughby has been engaged to teach a five month's term of school at Whiskey Hill, district No. 59. W. A. Mathews will teach the Eagle Creek school, district No. 50, again this winter. Miss Grace Jones of Brooks, Oregon, will teach the Wilsonville school. J. D. Wood began school in the Specs , district last Monday. Kinosbi'bt. Ind.. Sept. 22.-Twelve bloody objects, some torn and mangled beyond semblance of humanity, and a score of bleeding and bruised victims such are the awful results of this morn ing's horror occurring at this little vil lage on the Detroit division of the Wabash railway. Crushed and splintered timbers and broken truss roils, warped and fractured tracks, two giant locomotives dismantled and literally welded together attest in the fearful fatality the awful results of one man's carelessness. The calamity was directly attributable to Brakeman Herbert Thompson's carelessness. He disappeared and all efforts to find him have thus far been in vain . v estibuleO. limited train 55, Detroit to Chicago, was running in two sections and due to pass this station at 4 :40 a. m . Fast freight 02 was on the siding here waiting to let 55 pass. The first section of 55 passed at 5:15 a. ro., and by whistle called the attention of the freight crew to the second section. The engineer replied, bnt it seems Brakeman Thompson did not notice the signal and went ahead to open the switch for 92 to leave. He had hardly done this before the second sec tion of 55 was seen bearing down. Thompson seemed to be paralyzed. Swerving to the left, the ponderooa mass of steel, drawing ita precious load, lunged heavily into the wailing Ireignt train with horrible ctash. The result was fearful and the scene that ensued was awful. A Kiataka Bprtadi (Smallpox. Nbw Yobk. Sent. 21. Eleven new caaes of smallpox were reported to the health officer from various parts of the city yesterday. A.blunder that amounts) almost to crime has been commuted in a clinic, and by it the seed has been sown that may yet bear disastrous croD. Tho list of today's victims 18 headed by two young doctors. It was their coming down with tbe disease in one day, within a few hours of each other, that exposed tho blunder. Tha Tariff Bill Haxt Month. Washington-, Sept. 21. A very promi- ment democrat on the ways and means committee says that the new tana bill will be completed within a month. If congress is still in session, ii will be immediately presented. The democrats on the committee feel, i view of the unrest among business men on account of 'the proposed revision, the new schedules should be made known as soon as possible, so that business can . sooner adjust itself to the new condi tions. Pnrraying for a New Koai. Tan Dallks, Sept. 25. A surveying party has just arrived at The Dalles after a seven-weeks trip through eastern Ore gon, thier object being to find a feasible route for a railroad from that point through the interior to the line of the Oregon Pacific in Lake county. Just who is behind the project it is impossi ble at present to state, but officials of both the Northern Pacific and Union Pacific in this city disclaim any connec tion with the enterprise. For the Chinese to Register Washington, Sept. 21. The com mittee on foreign affairs today considered tho McCreary substitute for the Everett bill, extending the time of registration for the Chinese. Discussion developed the fact that every member favored the extension of time six months, with tbe possible exception of Geary the author of the present law. Sate to the Kid-Winter lair. San Fbancisco, Sept. 22. Arrange ments were completed this morning by which all transportation companies west of Chicago have agreed upon freight rates for exhibits for the mid-winter fair. The rates are S3K per cent lower than regular freight rates and include the return of tbe exhibits to the shipping point. Tbe Pre ident not a MonometaHit New York, Sept. 22. President Cleve land has taken occasion to deny that he is a monometalist, ond declares that he is in favor of the utilization of silver, so far as it can possibly bo done with safety to sound currency.
