A RANCHER'S DEATH
BR.OW2TS 3ICRDER. AX UJOJSUAXI.1
ATROCIOUS OXE.
He Wu Evidently Shot at Close
Quarters With, a Gnn Loaded
With. Lead Slnffa.
OREGON CITY, Jan. 1L Coroner Hol
man, Sheriff Maddock and Deputy Prose
cutor Campbell returned today from "Wil
bolt, where they went to investigate the
killing of James 3L Brown. The cor
oner held an inquest yesterday afternoon
and the testimony before the Jury showed
that the deceased -was last seen alive the
latter part of December. New Tear's day
"V. TV. Dickinson, a farmer of that lo
cality, visited Brown's place to make an
arrangement for Brown to do some work
for him. Not finding Brown at home then,
he went there again Thursday and again
Sunday evening, and, of course, found no
person on the premises. He began to
think that all was not right, and notified
"William Mazlngo, Brown's nearest neigh
bor, and the two men made an investiga
tion. The missing man's cabin appeared
to be locked in the usual manner, with
hasp and padlock, but the padlock was
found not fastened, and it readily opened
when touched. The first examination was
made by the light of a lantern and the
blood stains on the floor and furniture
were not noticed. The famishing fowl,
shut up in the coop, and a pair of horses,
left to shift for themselves In the pas
ture, showed that Brown, who was a care
ful man, was not voluntarily absent. At
first it was supposed that he might have
been injured in the woods near by, and
the search was directed accordingly. But
when the more careful scrutiny of the
house disclosed bloodstains on a chair
and the floor, and the evident attempt
to wash them away, there was little
doubt left that the roan had met foul
play.
The body was found about 300 yards
from the house by Omar Williams and
Dudley Boyles, who were among the
searchers. Appearances were that the
man had been shot, in his cabin, with a
gun loaded with lead slugs made by cut
ting up a piece of soldering wire, the
body put in a comforter that was taken
from the bed and carried several rods,
then lowered to the ground and dragged
to the spot where found. The shot tore
a large hole in the body, just above the
heart, and It must have been instantly
fatal. Evidently the muzzle of the gun
was thrust into the left eye, tearing that
organ entirely loose from the face. The
clothing was powder-burned, showing that
le shot was fired at short range.
The cabin of the murdered man did not
appear to have been ransacked. Every
thing was in good order. The evidence
before the coroner's jury contained noth
ing about any pension money being re
ceived, except the regular quarterly al
lowance of J40, which the deceased drew
at Silverton about the middle of Decem
ber. No motive for the murder can be
assigned, unless to obtain that pittance.
Brown was not known to have any en
emy. The body was given honorable
burial today.
Cnwen in Court at Oregon City.
OREGON CITY, Jan. 1L In the case
of "Wadhams & Co., vs. H. A. Vorpahl,
before the court here today, the jury
found for the plaintiff In the sum of $130,
all that was asked.
Today the case of the Portland Trust
Company, of Oregon, vs. R. B. Beatie,
involving the title to a piece of land in
Oregon City, worth 510,000, was begun,
and it will probably last through tomor
row. COVXTY DIVISION.
Another Scheme lor a. Jtcvr Comnty
in. SontU Wnttco.
THE DAL.X1ES, Jan. 11. Another coun
ty division scheme is heard of in the
southern portion of the county. An effort
Is being made to create a new county out
of territory from Wasco, Crook, Gilliam
and Grant counties. The new county, as
projected, would be about the size of
Sherman, and have taxable property to
the probable value of $130,000, less than
one-third that of The Dalles alone. There
is already much opposition to the scheme,
and It is not believed it can be success
fully carried through the legislature.
An order was made in the county court
recognizing the Incorporation of Hood Riv
er, as voted In the late election at that
place. This makes the second Incorporat
ed town In Wasco county, and will doubt
less stimulate other places in the county
to a similar effort There is a vast
amount of delinquent taxes uncollected
In the county, and M. V. Harrison, of
Hood River, has been appointed special
tax collector with a view to collecting as
much of the delinquency as possible.
A year ago Wasco county warrants were
selling at 90 cents; now it Is hard to get
them at 93 cents, and they are continual
ly going up. They will soon be at par, as
they were before the financial depres
sion began. A corresponding rise has oc
curred in Dalles city warrants, which are
now selling for 93 cents on the dollar.
T. H. McGrecr, of Antelope, representative-elect
to the legislature from this
county, passed through The Dalles today
on his way to the state capital. It Is be
lieved he will support the candidacy of
Senator Dolph for re-election.
There will be a mass meeting of citi
fcens Saturday evening, at the courthouse,
to consider the proposition of starting a
woolen mill here. Mr. James Shaw, of
Oregon City, is In the city trying to ar
range some way In which such an enter
prise could be started.
The weather moderated greatly last
night, and today the snow is rapidly melt
ing. A drizzle of rain fell most of the
day. The river Is still blocked, but the
Ice shows signs of breaking. In Sherman
sounty, the snow Is disappearing too
apidly to suit the farmers, who fear that,
he ground being soft, a later freeze will
lamagc the sown wheat.

SPOKANE, Wash., Jan. 1L E. G. Pen
dleton, the embezzling postmaster, at
Sprague, was taken before the "United
States commissioner tonight, and surren
dered by his principal bondsman. Pendle
ton had been convicted before Judge Han

onment. His Oregon friends talked of
coming to his rescue, and steps were
taken for an appeal, but relief failed to
come and his bondsman became alarmed.
Pendleton is greatly broken In health,
and presented a pitiable appearance as he
tottered into court.
Repairing the Wires.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Jan. 11. The
linemen of the Sunset Telephone Company,

Simeon Bolton, was his declining to issue
a marriage license to Bert Ransler and
Miss Alice Blckle, of Bickleton, who came
through the snow-storm last Wednesday.
Mr. Bolton discovered that the age of the
prospective bride was not quite 17, so de
clined to comply with the wish of Mr.
Ransler. It is now reported that the se
quel of an elopement was averted.
The Roof Fell In.
TACOMA, Jan. 11. The roof of one of
the buildings at the Pacific Meat Com
pany's packing-house, at Meeker Junc
tion, fell In this afternoon, killing sev
eral steers. It was reported some men
were killed, but the reports proved untrue.
Chris and John Stock were cut and
bruised and Peter Alagrade's shoulder
blade was broken and he was injured in
ternally. Ran Into a Slide.
SEATTLE, Jan. 11.-A Lake Shore &
Eastern freight train ran Into a slide two
miles west of Fremont this morning.
The engine, three loaded and two unload
ed box cars, two fiat cars, loaded with
200 rails, plunged into Lake Washington.
Three of the cars were not entirely sub
merged. No one was injured.
THE NEXT CONVENTION
Chairman. Manley Says He Will Favor
San Francisco.
NEW YORK, Jan. U. Chairman Joseph
H. .Manley, republican national executive
committee, who is at the Fifth-avenue
hotel, said today that he favored San
Francisco for the next national conven
tion. He added:
"I shall vote for the Golden Gate city.
How the other members of the committee
stand on the question. I do not know. I
only speak for myself."
As Chairman Manley hails from Maine
he naturally Indorses the candidacy of
Reed for the presidency. He was asked:
"Don't you think that Mr. Reed would
stand a better chance for the nomination.
If the convention should be held here?"
"Oh, I think that he will be nominated,
wherever the convention may be held.
He would have the same number of votes
in San Francisco that he would have in
Chicago or New York. I do not prefer
San Francisco because it Is a cooler city,
but because I think it would be a good
thing to have the great convention in the
far West. Republicanism Is not now con
fined to any one section of our country.
It laps the great Union, and permeates
all the states and territories. Anyhow,
we intend to obviate the heat question by
having the convention held in May, in
stead of the latter part of June."
FAVOR A SEW PARTY.
BInictalists Would Appeal to the
Country on 3Ioney Iusncs Alone.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1L General A. J.
Warner, president of the Bimetallic
League, admitted today that a conference
of leading blmetalists from different parts
of the country had been held In this city
recently. "It was the decision of the con
ference," he said, "and a strong and grow
ing sentiment is manifesting Itself In
favor of uniting the friends of btmetal
lsm Into a bimetallic party, and appealing
directly to the people on money issues
alone. The consideration which seems to
be leading to this result Is the widespread
conviction that there is no hope of re
storing the bimetallic standard through
the republican party, or through the dem
ocratic party as now controlled, and, on
the other hand. It Is equally Impossible
to accomplish this result within the lines
of the populist party, or to unite on the
Omaha platform those in favor of restor
ing the bimetallic standard as it was be
fore 1S73."
Bryan Denounced Cleveland.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. Representa
tive Bryan, of Nebraska, in a speech to
night before the Virginia Democrat As
sociation, denounced President Cleveland.
He declared the president was not a dem
ocrat; that his conduct was not demo
cratic; that he was wrecking the demo
cratic party, and that he was the first
democratic pres'dent who had been unable
to control his party. Bryan also criti
cised Mr. Carlisle.

The net surplus shown by the follow
ing statement, will be applicable to the
payment of a part of the foregoing ex
penses and deficiencies, so that the total
amount of revenue to be raised therefor
by taxation will be reduced by the
amount of said net surplus:
The books of the secretary of state, De
cember 31, 1894, show unexpended balances
of appropriations of 1893 and 1S94, of
549S.743 72.
We estimate that unpaid claims payable
out of said appropriations, amount to
J27.206 94. leaving unused balances of
$471,536 SS.
No levy was made for $239,034 39 of said
appropriations; therefore there will re
main unused balances out of the amount
levied for said appropriations amounting
to $232,482 49.
Of this sum $14,642 24 was set apart for
payment of the expenses levied for Jan
uary 17, 1894; leaving a balance of $217,
840 23 available for payment of the fore
going items of expenses and deficiencies.
The miscellaneous receipts of the year
1894 amounted to $18,015 43; of this amount
$10,529 07 was set apart for payment of
the expenses levied for January 17, 1S94;
there remains a balance of $7,486 33; we es
timate the miscellaneous receipts of the
year 1893 at $1S,000 00. These sums consti
tute a net surplus of $243,326 63, applicable
to the payment of expenses set forth in
the foregoing itemized statement, which
sum being deducted from the above total
of $459,521 78. leaves the total amount of
revenue to be raised by taxation for state
purposes which are not provided for by
special tax. $451,193 15.

It Is of Interest to note that the amount
the outgoing administration has saved out
of the legislature's appropriations $471,000
is larger than the entire sura to be
raised by taxation under this levy $431.
193 15 while the deficiencies, a little more
than $1)1.000, are about 50 per cent less
than the deflclences usually reported at
the end of a biennial term. It should
also be noted that the law directs the
board to levy taxes only for "expenses
to which the state will be subjected under
existing laws." It has not, therefore, In
lucded In its estimates, items for "or
phan's homes" and like beneficiaries of
the state, as there Is no law providing
for their support by the state.
COXTEST EVERY SESSIOX.
Elections of Senators Interfere "With
Legislation.
OLYMPIA, Jan. lL Contests for the
election of United States senators are
becomine very ordinarv occurrence ir
Washington, and continue to be the ab- !
sorting matter of Interest at the legisla
tive sessions. The fourth Washington
legislature convenes next Monday, and
with it comes the fourth senatorial elec
tion. If the republican party leaders had
performed their duty two years ago, and
selected a successor to Senator John B.
Allen, there would have been no election
at this coming session. As it is, a senator
for a term of four years must be chosen
and he will not have to wait for a new
congress to be sworn In. He may take his
seat Immediately after his election. The
failure to elect a senator two years ago
gives Washington six senatorial contests
In as many consecutive legislative ses
sions. Two years hence Senator Squires'
successor will be chosen, and two years
from that time a successor to the sen
ator chosen at this session will be elect
ed. Not until 1S01 will the legislative as
sembly be free from senatorial conflicts.
There is a disposition on the part of
the republican members of the coming ses
sion to soon dispose of the selection of a
senator. Legislation has been seriously
hampered in the past by such conflicts
and the general desire at this time is to
clear the way for decisive work for the
good of the state.
The present senatorial battle Is entirely
different from those heretofore seen In
this city. It appears to be a free-for-all
fight among a half-dozen candidates at
this time. Congressman John L. Wilson,
of Spokane, and Levi Ankeny, of Walla
Walla, are the most prominent, although
Amos F. Shaw, of Vancouver, Attorney
General Jones and State Senator Belknap,
of Spokane, are in the field and claim
some strength. It cannot be learned now
where Jones and Belknap will get any
votes, but Mr. Shaw will certainly poll
a few. Senator John B. Allen is another
candidate who may develop formidable
strength before his successor is chosen.
It is known that he has many friends
among the members of the legislature,
and his open candidacy for re-election
means something. Mr. Wilson and Mr.
Ankeny appear confident of success. Each
has a large following, and the real con
test seems to be between them. Just
how many votes either can poll, is a mat
ter of speculation. There is considerable
talk of a caucus to decide the matter, but
until all the republican members as
semble, a caucus will not be seriously con
sidered. Most of the members who have already
arrived upon the scene are from Eastern
Washington and the country districts.
Tomorrow the Pierce and King county
delegations will be here, and by Sunday
very few members will be absent Then
work In real earnest will begin. The mat
ter of organization is discussed generally,
and there are many candidates for each
office. For speaker of the house, every
portion of the state has a candidate, but
no one as yet seems to have an advant
age. Candidates for clerk of the house,
and secretary of the senate, and lesser
positions, are more numerous than ever.
(A special to the Tacoma Ledger says:
"The candidacy for the speakership has
narrowed down to Scobey, of Thurston;
Mllroy, of Yakima; Cloes, of Pierce, and
Morrison, of King. Scobey, Mllroy and
Cloes have agreed to pool issues and unite
upon the strongest one of the three.
"Joe Mitchell is down from Tacoma
making an active fight for sergeant-at-arms
of the senate. His opponents are
M. D. Smith, and Captain C. M. Holton,
of Yakima,")
THE WHISKY TRUST.
Appeal From Grosscup's Decision in
the Circuit Court of Appeals.
CHICAGO. Jan. U. The United States
circuit court of appeals this morning took
up the appeal of the whisky trust from the
decision of Judge Grosscup, awarding
$37,000 of rebates to the Gottschalk com
pany of Baltimore. The issue that is
made strikes at the foundation of the
trust In order to keep Its hold on .trade,
the trust -granted to all dealertwho handle
Its goods exclusively a rebate of from 2 to5
cents a gallon. To secure the payment of
the rebate, it was necessary for the dis
tributor, wholesale or retail, to fill out
a form furnished by the trust, to which
an affidavit was made. Gottschalk & Co.
was distributor for the trust and declined
to fill out the form. The suit for the
collection of its claim was then begun,
and in April last Judge Grosscup rendered
judgment against the trust for $37,112. The
trust was not represented before' the court
today. Its attorney, W. W. Stevens, re
quested, by letter, a postponement, and,
If It would not be granted, said he would
submit his brief without argument. The
Gottschalk company is represented by ex
Governor and ex-United States Senator
White, of Maryland.

BOAST OF THEIR DEEDS.
Troops From Armenia Return to Per
manent Quarters.
LONDON, Jan. 1L The Speaker pub
lishes a letter from an unnamed corre
spondent in Constantinople, who claims to
have equal knowledge with the British
ambassador, concerning the Armenian
atrocities. He professes to have seen the
reports from the (consuls in Van, Erz
eroum, Slvas and Diarakbera, and says
that they confirm the most horrible a
counts already received. Concurrent re
ports, he says, come from Catholic and
Protestant missionaries in the Sassoun
district The troopscalled out against the
Armenians have returned from the scenes
of conflict to permanent quarters. The
writer says:
"They boast of their deeds publicly and
their statements have been forwarded to
Constantinople. One soldier declared that,
with his own hand, he rippei up 20 preg
nant women. Another boasted that he
took part in a massacre in a church, and
that blood flowed in a large stream from
the door. The soldiers believed that the
sultan ordered the massacre and approved
of it"
A BATTLE AT KAIPIXG.
More Than Two Hundred Chinese
Were Killed.
LONDON, Jan. 11. A dispatch to the
Central News, dated Kaiplng, January 10,
midnight, says that General Nogi, who
commanded the Japanese troops that took
part in the battle near there today, re
ports as follows:
"The Chinese had erected extensive de
fenses near the river. We attacked first
the two wings of the enemy, and then the
center, and, finally, by a flank movement,
succeeded in taking possession of Kaiplng
at 10 o'clock In the forenoon. More than
200 Chinese are known to have been killed,
but it is impossible to ascertain the exact
number wounded. We took 150 prisoners."
The Chinese force, including the artil
lery, is stated to have numbered 4000.
General Nogl also states that 10,000 Chi
nese troops, under General Yeh, were mov
ing up to support Kaiplng, but, learning
the result of the engagement there, are

Too Much Japanese Enthusiasm.

while in delirium, escaped from his room
at St Stephen's college, at Annlndale,
and disappeared, was found yesterday

Xevr Zealand Still Anxious to Control
in Samoa.
AUCKLAND, N. z., Jan. 11. Premier J.
J. Sedden spoke at length in Kokitita to
day concerning Samoa, New Zealand and
the three interested powers. He said:
"New Zealand's offer to administer Sa
moa is unanimously approved by all the
Australian colonies. It was made in a
friendly spirit to the powers concerned,
the United States, who were Indifferent in
the matter, being cognizant of It. The
Germans have made no progress In col
onizing Samoa. Their interests are wan
ing yearly, and the Germans in Austral
asia do not object to our proposal. The
sight of the great European powers using
warships to settle the trumpery disputes
of the Samoan nation Is a blot on civil
ization. All the fighting could be stopped
by a few police."
Premier Sedden complained of LordRose
bery's attitude to New Zealand and his
attack on the press, which simply report
ed an official's regular offer. He con
tinued: "If we must be subjected to ridicule,
with a view to conciliating Germany, it
will not strengthen the bonds between the
colonies and the mother country. New
Zealand and the other colonies do not
wish to Interfere with imperial Interests,
but it Is of great Importance to the col
onies that the Pacific islands be peopled
with British colonists, and not made the
dumping ground of European criminals,
as Is Caledonia."

OTHER FOREIGX XEWS.
The Truth 3Inst Ont.
LONDON, Jan. H. The Dally News will
say tomorrow in a leader emphasizing the
Importance of the Speaker's news from
Constantinople:
"It would be pedantry and folly to re
ject all evidence not given before the com
mission of inquiry, which does not seem
to be in a hurry to begin Its labors. More
over, the Impartiality of the commission
is open to grave doubt The appointment
of it was a sulky concession to England,
France and Russia, and its ideas as to
the treatment of Christians can hardly
be In strict accordance with modern civil
ization. Nevertheless the truth will be
brought out, as the commissioners are
under the vigilant eyes of consuls. Tur
key's fate hangs once more in the bal
ance." Germany's Lending Legislation.
