He seemed lo merit considerable interest during his short stay here, and many were the ex pressions of wonder at what seemed to many an impossible undertaking. John J. "Wilde, of Chicago, arrived in Medford Saturday, and will remain some time, having come West to look after his interest in the Eldriana town and com pany, he being a heavy stockholder in the enterprise. He stated that all plans which had been laid out by President P. S.

Mor ris was broken into last night and a num ber of articles taken. Among them are three revolvers, six knives and a Win chester rille.

There is trouble on the Umatilla reser vation. Friday morning the Indian police arrested No Shirt and 20 others at the former's house for engaging in a dance all night, and took them to the agency to be tried before the Indian judge. Jo Alien, one of the band, refused to testify, and a row was precipitated, in which the prisoners disarmed the policemen. Finally quiet was restored by the head men, and all were permitted to go home except Allen and Pete Collidon, who was held on a charge of taking a revolver away from a policeman. No Shirt told the agent he would have the dancing stopped rather than have trouble, but said it was not the ghost dance, and the participants were not armed.

Feb. 177 Melancholia and consumption impelled George Wilkins to kill himself in a sensational manner today while calling upon the young lady to whom he was engaged Miss Olive Potter. He drew a revolver, and, after saying he was convinced recovery was impossible, attempted to kill himself. The young woman by force prevented him from car rying out his design, and, thinking to al lay his excited condition, suggested they go for a walk, to which Wilkins agreed. Passing through Q street, the young man excused himself to get an overcoat, leav ing Miss Potter at the gate. Reaching his room, he shot himself through the brain. Miss Potter reached him just as he was dying. Wilkins came to Denver from Cleveland, where his mother and brother reside, five years ago. He was 20 years old and was soon to have been mar. ried. Both Wilkins and Miss Potter stood well iu general circles. TH E NEXT CONVENTION. Snn Francisco Is Determined, and "Will Make a Strong Bid for It. SAN FRANCISCCFeb. 17. P. B. Corn wall, chairman of the republican state central committee, speaking of the propo sition to hold the next republican national convention in San Francisco, said: "I am going to bring the matter before the executive committee at its next meet ing, and will probably Invite some leading republicans to be present. It is our In tention to call immediately thereafter a meeting of leading republicans and demo crats to consider what would be the best course to pursue. I think that the be3t action to take would be the appointment of a committee to wait on the railroad people to secure reductions in transporta tion; secure the Mechanics' pavilion: find out what money could be raised, and, in fact, make all necessary arrangements to base an offer and arguments on before the national committee. Then another committee should be sent to present our case In the East." THE DEAD MINISTER. Graj'M Remains Are Expected in In dianapolis Thursday. INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 17.

In all the churches today the preachers devoted borne attention to the wildcat-man-dog fight billed to occur in the opera-house Thursday night. The cat is the property of Dr. Conner; the bulldog is a terror, and the man In the case is Tom Carson, a scrapper. The man is to enter the cage, and with his hands whip the cat and then tackle the dog. The Reople are terribly aroused, and there may be serious trou ble, for the respectable citizens declare no fight shall be allowed. Several of th preachers were applauded for their radical expressions. HOTEL ARRIVALS. THE PORTLAND.

THE BIG MEETING DAY LEAGUE OF AMERICAN WHEELMEN TO CONVENE IX NEW YORK. A Lively Battle for the Annual Meet and a. Protracted Color Line De bate Are Expected. NEW YORK, Feb. 17. There was al most as much lobbying, interviewing and buttonholing In the parlors and corridors of the Grand Union hotel tonight as might be witnessed in any political gath ering during the busy hours preceding a convention. The lobbyists were the del egates to the annual meeting of the League of American Wheelmen, which will convene tomorrow. They have some minor differences, but the advancement of cycling is their chief concern. Be tween Massachusetts and -ew Jersey there is a wide difference. Each wants the next annual meeting, and the repre sentatives of these two Eastern states are striving in every way to secure it. Massachusetts is willing to concede and give up anything and everything, swap or trade every advantage or power which it may have, for the privilege of holding the next annual meet under its auspices. New Jersey is anxious to do as much and more. Agents from other states are not safe from the arguments of the hustling representatives of Massachusetts and New Jersey. The Massachusetts men have photographs of the principal points of Interest in and around Boston in their hotel parlors, and the West and South west must stand, view and admire. The New Jersey men are deep in the photo graphic business also. They have a thou sand views of many pretty spots in their state, but their particular argument Is that Asbury Park is within a few miles of New York. Asbury Park presents an other strong claim In the shape of a peti tion signed by 200 well-known racing men, ranking from Zimmerman down. Some time ago It looked as if there might be many candidates for the differ ent offices of the league. Now, however, the result of the election is regarded as a foregone conclusion. The friends of Archie C. Williston, of Cumberland, Md., say he cannot be beaten for the presi dency. A. Morganthaler, of Ohio, is the only candidate for the treasurership, and George O. Gideon, of Philadelphia, it is believed, will be the next chairman of the racing board. Of all the amendments to the constitu tion, the most Important that will be proposed will be that barring colored men from the league. There are amendments by the score, but none so interesting as this. The league has at least two days' hard work before it. The delegates to the convention have nearly all arrived, and are quartered within easy range of the place of meeting. Zelgler Is Confident. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 17. Otto Zelg ler, the San Jose bicycle champion, says of his proposed try for the mile straight away record, recently reduced by Wilbur Edwards to 1:35. " "I believe I can reduce it. The trial will probably be made near Fresno, though we may between now and then find a more suitable place nearer home. If I succeed in my effort I think it will, with Edwards' performance, demonstrate what I have always maintained, and that is that California wheelmen are the equals, if not the superiors, of Eastern men. The reason more world's records have not been made by Pacific coast riders Is that we have no tracks like those of the East, and Eastern men are giving far more at tention in the way of training. Given the same advantages as Johnson, Sanger or any of the rest of them, I think California boys would beat the world." The Hundred-Mile Championship. PARIS, Feb. 17. A 100-mile bicycle race for the championship of England and France was ridden here today. Linton, the Englishman, was not in his usual form. Just before going on the track he learned that his mother died last night. He was defeated easily by Hurst, who covered the 100 miles in 4:17:47 3-5. ST. LOUIS ENTRIES.

The original in tention was to commence March 1, but the recent heavy snow storms necessi tated a postponement. THE SINGLE-SCULLERS. Something About the Men Who Raced Saturday. Charles W. Harding, who won the championship of England Saturday by defeating Sullivan, and who will now row Gaudaur for the American championship, is a Londoner. He is familiarly called "Wagg Harding. He was reared as a waterman on the Thames. His first match was with Jacob Tyrrell, October 13, 1S90. Harding won easily. The next year he was defeated by "Dubber" Follett. In 1S92 Harding beat Norval at Newcastle. In 1SS4 he defeated George Bubear, the English champion, from Putney to Mort lakc. It was a walkover for Harding The stake was $1000. Since then Harding has been considered the best oarsman of England. Sullivan, whom he defeated Saturday, was born in that land of oarsmen. New Zealand. He is 28 years old. He is the same height as Corbett, and weighs 164 pounds. He began to row races as a boy of 14. He rowed the first professional race In 1SS1, when he met Bubear, the English champion, on the Nepean river, for $500 a side. Sullivan did plucky work. but near the end collapsed from an at tack of sickness; Several months later he defeated C. Stevenson on the Para matta river for $1500. Then he challanged Bubear and beat him, the stake being $1500. He won the top notch in his pro fession by making the phenomenal time of IS minutes 41 seconds over a course nearly three miles and quarter, when he defeated C Dutch on the Paramatta in 1S3L The next year he was defeated by Stansbury. Sullivan then went to Lon don, where In October, 1893, he defeated Bubear, making the championship course in 22 minutes 30 seconds. Jake Gaudaur, who has been chosen to meet Harding, is 35 -years of age, and since 1SSS has held the world's best single scull record for three miles. He held the championship of America trom June 12, 1SS6, to July 23, 1SS7, and came within an ace of winning the world'3 championship from Beach on September IS, 1S3C IVHIST LEAGUE NOTES. Portland to Be Represented by Seven Teams in the Coming: Cougrress. During the past week applications for membership in the North Pacific Whist League have been received from the Heart Club, of Portland; the Commercial Club, of Portland; and the Irving Club, of Astoria. Portland has now six league clubs, the Portland Whist, Arlington, Multnomah Athletic, Commercial, Trist and Heart Clubs. It Is thought that the Portland Athletic will shortly make ap plication, so the chances are that this city will be represented by seven teams in the congress to be held here on the 22d and 23d of next month. The Heart Club accompanied its appli cation for membership with a challenge to the Portland Whist Club for possession of the league trophy. The contest will probably take place the end of this week. The Heart Club will be represented by Messrs. T. M. Stevens, Couch Flanders, S. B, Linthicum and George Ciarke. The Portland whist team has not yet been se lected. Last Saturday night a picked team from the Officers' Club at Vancouver bar racks came over and played a picked team from the Arlington. Club. The warriors were victorious in a closely-contepted game. The first round of eight hands re sulted in a tic; in the second round, the Arlingtons won by one point; in the thirl they lost five points, leaving the array gentlemen four points to the good. The two teams were as follows: Army Major Marshall, Captain Wheeler, Lieutenant Lasselgn, and Lieutenant Little. Arling tonMessrs. Preston C. Smith, T. M. Stevens, Richard Nixon and Zera Snow. Commenting on the rumor recently re ferred to in The Oregonian, that a club of Portland ladies might join the league and entei a team at the congress, the Tacoma Ledger said last Sunday: "There are a number of lady players In Tacoma who hold their own against and frequent ly beat their husbands, who constitute the cracks of the Tacoma Whist Club." It is learned that the five league clubs of Tacoma, the Union, the Deschaffelles, the Tacoma Whist and the Commercial, have begun an Interclub tournament, by way of preparation for the approaching congress. Last Friday evening the second tourna ment for progressive pairs held by the Portland Whist Club came to a close. From the appended score, It will be seen that Messrs. H. M. Ogden and W. T. Harlow took first place, and George D. Green and J. R. McVay second. The prizes for this tournament were donated by Mr. L. Therkelsen, and consisted of a morocco duplicate whist set, and an edition of Hamilton's "Modern Scientific Whist," bound In morocco. The tourna ment las ted five weeks.

The American Lowered His Colors to the Norwegian Champion. MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 17.-John S. John son, the breaker of unnumbered records, was compelled to lower his colors at Nor mania rink today to Peter Ostlund, the champion of Europe, in a race of 1610 yards. A standing start was made and Johnson led until within 20 yards of the finish, when Ostlund made a wonderful burst of speed and won by less than two feet in 2:53 1-5. The ice was in bad condi tion owing to the mild weather and the falling snow, consequently the time was 2l4 seconds slower than the best record, made by Ostlund at Hamer, Norway, February 25, 1894. The race was, neverthe less, a pretty one from start to finish, and was hotly contested. Johnson did not seem to be in his best form. He holds the world's record for a mile and has always been a great finisher, but on this occasion Ostlund displayed by far the better stay ing qualities. BIrd-Sliootlnfr in Tacoma. TACOMA, Feb. 17.

STEARNS. 275 Stark street THEWOfiKATOLIMPIA SESSION HALF GONE AND LITTLE DONE. . , . Full List of Bills "Which nave Be come Laws and Those "Which Have Passed One House. OLYMPIA, Feb. 17. With yesterday end ed the fifth week of the present legisla tive session, and while more than half of the time Is now past, very little work has been accomplished. Three weeks and a half remain, and they will be made the most of. It is said, and generally be lieved, that Washington has never been in such dire need of proper legislation as at this time. This, of course, is caused by the unusual hard times, which have prevailed during the. past two years. Up to this time there have been 722 bills pre sented for consideration in the two legis lative bodies. Of these 478 were intro duced in the house and 244 In the senate. Only about 10 days remain for the intro duction of new bills, for February 23 has been agreed upon by joint resolution as the last day for this kind of business. That will be 15 days previous to adjourn ment, and It is generally conceded that any member having any measure of im portance to present, can easily do so by that time. Out of the flood of bills already presented, a comparati ely small number have passed either house, and a still smaller number both houses. The house has passed 29 bills which have not been acted upon by the senate, while that body has passed 18 bills which have not passed the house. Seven bills have passed both houses, and of these, the governor has approved five. The other two are still awaiting his signature. The appended list of bills which have passed either house or both at this time, will be found Interesting as showing the work already accom plished: Passed both houses, and received the approval of the governor: Brown Appropriating $40,000 for the ex penses of the present legislature. Range Authorizing county commis sioners to condemn property for right-of-way for Lake Washington ship canal. Memorial committee Declaring Febru ary 12, anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth, legal holiday. Bush Appropriating $20,000 for fish hatcheries on the Columbia river. Scobey Requiring that not less than 10 minutes each week be devoted in the pub lic schools to systematic teaching of kindness to not only our domestic animals, but to all living creatures.

It Is difficult to estimate the number of bills that will be enacted into laws, but of the number already introduced it Is safe to say that not one-fourth of them will pass both houses. The various committees that have been visiting the different state institutions will return in a day or two, as will also the committee to investigate the charges of impeachment against Judge Arthur, now at Spokane. The absence of the members of the committees has been quite apparent in both houses during the past week, and it was difficult at times to keep a quorum. 1 The all-absorbing topic at this time Is the Helm railroad bill, and the probabil ity is that there will be some interesting sessions In both houses before the meas ure Is disposed of. Never has 'such In terest been stirred up over any measure In the legislature, since Washington be came a state, as was shown during the arguments of counsel before the meeting of the senate and house committees on railroads, Friday afternoon and yesterday morning. Delegations of farmers from Eastern Washington and prominent rail road officials were present, and, while good feeling prevailed, all were quite in tent on the proper presentation of the case. It is the general impression that the arguments made on behalf of the rail roads have been so full of commonsense and justice that they have had deep Im press upon the commensense of the legis lature. The LecriNlnture Too Extravagant. NASHVILLE, Feb. 17. Senator A. B. Newson sent in his resignation to Gover nor Turner today as senator from the 14th district. Governor Turner is not in the city and has not acted on the resigna tion. The senator gives as his reason for resigning the extravagance of the legis lature in forcing upon theScommlttee ap pointed to visit state institutions and coal mines, serjeant-at-arms, reporters and other attaches, $4 per day and expenses, who do nothing but draw salaries. The resignation created somewhat of a sensa tion. It Was the Other Bill. SALEM, Feb. 17. The railroad commis sion bill, upon which the house reconsid ered its vote yesterday, was not the bill abolishing the railroad commission, but the bill providing for an elective commis sion, which was defeated Thursday. ANSWER TO A MISLEADING ADVER TISEMENT. Time to Chicago, Union Pacific Sys tem. Leave Portland daily at 7:00 P. M. Ar rive at Chicago fourth morning, at S:45 A. M. Time via Union Pacific to Chicago, S3 hours and 45 minutes. Time via next quickest line: Leave Portland 9:00 A. M. Arrive at Chicago 7:55 A. M.. fourth morninsr. Time to Chi cago, 92 hours and 55 minutes. Passengers will thus see that the time to Chicago via the Union Pacific sys tem is 9 hours and 10 minutes quicker than via the next quickest line. Via the next quickest line as well a3 via all other lines, changes of cars are necessary In going to Chicago. Via the Union Pacific no change of cars to Chicago. The Union Pacific was the first trans continental line by some years to Intro duce steam heat in the heating of its cars. The Union Pacific is the only line out of Portland that has equipped its trains with the celebrated Pintsch light, making its cars at night most brilliant. Remember, via the Union Pacific no change of cars to Chicago, steam heat, Pintsch light, the fastest time by many hours and the lowest rates. If time is money to you, why leave for the East in the morning at 9 o'clock, when you can remain in Portland until 7:00 P. M. and reach Chicago within a few minutes of the time of the train that left 10 hours earlier? City ticket othce. 13o Third street, cor ner of Alder. o . Chicago Livestock Market. CHICAGO, Feb. 1G.
