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. Or., at the November
term of court. These caM-i urew out of
HmuKKUng of opium and Chinese from
Britiah Colutiihia into the United States,
Fourteen indictment were found against
the treasury olhcialfi, apecial amenta of
the treasury and ritixeng of anhinton
and Orei'on, who were alleged to have
heen i-nifiigcd, directly or indirectly, in
the amu-i;linK businewi. 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. The uuin has been great-
eat in cotton, where some goods touched
the lowest price ever known. Failures
lor tho week number 319 in the Lnited
States against 189 last year. Five fail
ures were for over $100,000 each. The
liabilities in failures for the second week
in September were but 12,042,0,
against $5,319,098 the first week.

bombardment had not been renewed up
to the time the dispatch was sent.
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.

Will Arraign tha Preiidcnt.
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

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

than regular freight rates and include
the return of tbe exhibits to the shipping
point.
Tbe Pre ident not a MonometaHit

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.
