CoLi'MBt'B, 0., Jan. 4. The political future of Senator Hanna ia certainly to night in a cloaely poiited balance. Some of the diwwnting republicans are not likely to ever be reconciM to 8enator Hanna. They have burned the bridgea lehind them and openly admit it. Rp rehentative Joyce, of Guernsey, who voted with "the combine" on the organi zation of the bourse, itated today that be would vote for Senator Wanna. The Hanna men ay they expect the votes of Scott of Fuller, and Kutan of Carroll, who were inxtructed lor Hanna and voted for "the combine" on organiza tion. On the other hand "the combine" managers say that Scott and Rutan will remain with them to the fin'iHh, and that they expect to get Snyder of Green and Redkey of Highland, who voted for Boxweii for speaker. Late tonight the Hanna managers lout the two doubtful members that they had gained today, so there is now no mater ial change from that of yeaterday, when the house stood 53 to 53 against Hanna. Thi would give the senator only 70 yotea on j'mt ballot, or three less than enough to elect. If Senator Hanna has not a majority a week hence, it ia doubt ful whether any opponent will have it, and the general prediction is for. a deadlock . In the event that the ballot ing Tuesday does not khow a majority for any one, the general assembly will proceed the next day to balloting in joint assembly, and continue to do so until there is an election. The balloting a week hence may not do any more than compel the contestants to show their names on roll-call, and after that the same fight may be continued for an in definite period. Bold Birglar at Vaiooiver Vakcouvir, Wash., Jan. 4. At an early hour this morning a succession of pistol shots were beard in the vicinity of West Band Third streets. Upon in vestigation, . it was" discovered that. a bold attempt had been made by two un known men to burglarize the vault in the postoffice They were frustrated, however, by the arrival on the scene of Night Watchman John McGuire and City Marshal Gus Burgy, who pursued the would-be robbers from tbe postofBce to the Col .im bis river, a distance of four blocks, a hot msning fire beiug kept up all the way between the officers and the fugitives. The would-be burglars es caped by jumping into a small boat, which was lying at the foot of B street, near the ferry landing, and paddling out into the Columbia river with aboard, there being no oars in their boat. Burgy and McGuire having emptied their re volvers before reaching the river, and having no extra cartridges, considered it useless to pursue the men further, though they could have secured another boat, provided with oarj, in a few seconds, with which they assert they could easily have overhauled the outlaws, had they made the attempt. The attempted robbery occurred at about 3:30 o'clock, and but for the timely arrival of the marshal and watch man, would have been successful, as one attempt to blow out the combination of the vault door had been made with out success, as the thieves were frigh tened away. Making Deiptrata Effort. San Francisco, Jan. 3. Late this afternoon the attorneys for Durrant vis ited Governor Budd at the home of his niece in this city and presented a peti tion praying for executive interference in the Durrani case The petition states that Durrant is a vital witness in the slander suit brought by his mother against Horace Smyth, a Juror in the murder trial, who, it Is alleged, cir culated stories regarding Durrant's fam ily relations. General Dickinson will to morrow make another attempt to obtain a writ of habeas corpus from the United States court. Sentenced to 80 Yean. Chicago, Jan. 4. Julius Liunte was given a sentence ol w years touay Dy Judge Bakers. He was tried on four indictments for burglary, although 21 had been once brought against him. On the trial ol the third indictment he broke down on the stand and he pleaded guilty Under the habitual criminal act he re ceived 20 years for each Indictment, or 80 years in all. Another Fesnoyer. IIarrisbi'bq, Dec. 21. Mr. II. R. Lewis. Secretary Klondike Relief Com mittee, Portland, Or. Dear Sir : Yours of recent date, asking for donations ol supplies, money, etc., was duly received. We are not prepared to do much, and ! are dInoed to do leu. We look noon 1 such schemes as advertising dodges, of interest only to the place concerned. At to starvation at Klondike, we hare no knowledge. To at there win oe ana ought to be suffering we know. Those who went there last summer had ample warning, and knew the conditions fully before going in. I do not think we should waste any sympathy on people who went to Klondike with less than a year's supply of eyerything. As to re lief, I think worse things thau starvation could befall a d n fool. For instance, he might survive and come back; and, if we "relieve" him this winter, his tribe , would increase to a hundred thousand ' next winter, and clamor for more relief. We will take care of our own poor (if j on account of our "board of emigration" they do not swamp us with numbers and needs), but we decline to contribute either sympathy or substance to Klon dike, South Sea Islanders, Hotentots, or what not. We are not heartless, merely sensible. In conclusion, when you want contri butions for the widow and orphans of the improvident ones, who crowned a useless life by starving to death, we are with yon. Yours truly. Jamks McDonald, Mayor of Harrisburg. CltUlSAL SHOT DEAD. Harry HeMiey, the Wood bum Robber, Killed at The Dalles. Harry Hessey, who robbed the-store at Wood burn ten days ago and who was arrested and put in jail in this city but subsequently escaped, mention of which was made in this paper last week, was shot and instantly killed at The Dalles last Friday while resisting arrest by I Nightwatchman Julius Wiley and Deputy Sheriff Spencer. A dispatch from The Dalles dated last Friday gives tbe following account of tbe affair: At the coroner's inquest this evening. the facts were developed that Hessey and one Frank Williams fell in together at Troutdale and tramped it to The Dalles, reaching here yesterday morning. From the conver sation of his cotnpanfsn, Williams be came convinced he was the man who escaped Sunday night from the Clacka mas county jail, and last night Williams informed Officer Wiley of his suspicions, and asked if a reward was offered. A telegram was , sent to the Clackamas county sheriff, and-th description re turned tallied with Williams' compan on. i This afternoon, Officer Wiley, Coroner Butts and William Spencer started for the east end of town, where Hessey and Williams were camped. Just beyond the Wasco warehouse the officers came upon', the men, and, after some short parleying, Wiley ordered IIesey to throw up his hands. Hessey immedi ately drew his revolver and leveled it at Coroner Butts, but before he could dis charge the weapon, Wiley and Spencer both shot, and the outlaw dropped to the ground dead, with a bullet hole near each temple. Io his pockets were found a mask and other articles of disguise. He was also wanted ' for robbery in Woodburn. No blame can be attached to tne officers, as every act of Hessey showed him to be desperate, and that he meant to sell his liberty dearly. A re ward of f 40 had been offered for his cap ture. Lelter Selling 3ii Wheat. Chicago, Jan. 4. Joseph Leiter is said to have closed contracts for the greater part, if not all, of his 8,000,000 bushels of cash wheal. Negotiations have been under way for several days, and are about closed. The buyers are L. Dreyful & Co., of New York, the French exporters, aud Gill & Fisher, of Baltimore. Nothing is known about tbe terms, but they are supposed to be satis factory to Leiter'. Found Dead in Bed Tub Dalles, Or. Ian. 4. John Mor nian, a well-known aheepman of this section, waa found dead in hia bed this afternoon at 6 o'clock in a room over a saloon, Mornian had been drinking quite heavily for several days, aud was up all of last night, going to bed this morning about 5 o'clock. As he did not put in an appearance during the day, one ot hia friends went to his room and found him lying in bed partially dressed, having been dead, to all appearances, ... ..j' i-", upposed he died several hours. It is 8 of heart failure, as there is no evidence to suggest any other theory. Mormaa possessed some property, having quite a band of sheep. Some years ago he ran a saloon in Arlington. He still owns some buildings there. An inquest will be held tomorrow morning. Tjargeit Inoorporation Fee. Si'binofikld, 111. Jan. 4. The secre tary of state has licensed the incorpora tion of the American Steel & Wire Com pany, of Chicago. The capitalization is $87,000,000, the Incorporating fee for which was $87,500, the largest ever paid in any similar proceeding. HOME INDUSTEIE8 Clackamas County and Oregoa City a Center of Wealth. What the New Year's Edition of tho Oregon Ian Has te Hay About Oar Business Instltotloas. Tbe total value of Clackamas county manufactures for tbe year 1897 is about 4,600,000. Tbisia largely made op of paper and pulp, woolen goods and floor manufactured in Oregon City. Our mar ket is the whole of the United States, including Alaska, British Columbia, Australia, China. South Africa and Europe. About $1,500,000 is paid for raw materials in the course of a year, perhaps one-third of this sum being dis bursed to Clackamas county people. One thousand people find regular em ployment in the mills of this county, to whom about $500,000 a year ia paid in wages. The capital invested in Clacka mas county manufactories is about 13,000,000. These estimates do not take into consideration the big iron manufac turing plant at Oswego, which was not operated to any considerable extent last , year, nor tbe production of electric cur rent for lighting, heating and mechani cal power, which ia one of the most im portant industries here. Flour made in Oregon City goes mostly to Liverpool and other European porta though a considerable part finds a mar ket in China and South Africa and somo is consumed at home. Tbe Willamette valley usually supplies the wheat ground here, but sometimes drafts are made on Eastern Oregon. The cassimees, flan nels, blantrels, robes, mackiaaws and socks of Oregon City are sent through out the United States. lis soaps are marketed on the Pacific coast. The. big factory uses Willamette valley and Southern Oregon wool to a great extent, but the larger part of its supply cornea from east of the Cascade mountains. The newspaper, wrapping papers, paper bags and wood pulp produced here find a market in Australia and the PaciBo slope, including British Columbia on tba north and reaching inland to include Montana and Utah. Tbe spruce, fir, hemlock and Cottonwood osed .by tho pulp and paper mills come from both banks of the Lower Columbia river. Boots and shoes manufactured here are marketed in the Pacifio Northwest. Tho iron works, the sawmill and the sash and door factory in Oregon City do a flourishing local business. The ice fac tory markets its product in Oregon City and iu Portland. Outside of Oregon City there are a score of small sawmills in the county, the output from which is disposed of chiefly in the local market. There are eight grist mills and three or four feed mills in operation outside of that city, which supply the local demand and ship to Portland. A number of smaller manu facturing institutions turn out brick, pottery, carded wools, leather and rugs, implement bandies, baskets, beehives, butter, preserved meats, dried fruits, pumps, etc., a considerable volume in the aggregate, and important to the ex tent that they make the community self-supporting, Many of these products find their way into tbe Portland market, aud even further. About 90 per cent of the power used in manufacturing in that county is water power, the falls of the Willamette sup plying nearly all of it, though only about one-fourth of the water-powet capacity of the falls is now utilized. The people are disposed to buy home manufactures rather than imported goods, so far as tbe former meet their demands. The year 1897 does not show a very marked increase in the volume of manufactured products of Clackamas county, though, the latter six months baye been charac terized by greater activity than has pre vailed for several years and closes with all factories running to their fullest ca pacity, which has been materially in creased by improvements of the last few months. The surprise for All. Mr. James Jones, of tbe drug firm of Jones At Son, Cowden, 111., in speaking of Dr. King's New Discovery, says that last winter bis wife was attacked with La Grippe, and her case grew so serious that physicians at Cowden and Pana ... I could do nothing for her. It seemed to develop into hasty consumption, Hav ing Dr. King's New Discovery in the store, and selling lots of it, he took a bottle home, and to the eurprise of all she began to get better from first dose, and half dozen dollar bottles cured her sound and well. Dr. King's New Dis covery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds is guaranteed te Vo lkis good work. Try it. Free trial bottle at Charman & Co. 's drug store. To Care a Cold In One Day.
