An unknown body was picked up In the river nt the foot of Lovejoy street yester- j day mcrnlng by a laborer ram.il John Kel- j leher. Examination satisfied Dr. Rand. Coroner, that the body had been In the river from one to two months. The only evidence tending to Identity were two let ters found in the pockets. One was writ, ten to Henry Costello, at Mllwaukle. Or, and dated at Valley Falls, R. L. October 27. 1SS9. Another was addressed to James Hall, 2 Manchester Road, Boatshop. Cub bltt Town. London, England. On the up per left-hand corner ot this envelope was apparently the name of the writer In the following Inscription: "If not called for within 10 days, return to S. Miller. Hud bard. Or." The letter began, "My dear cousin." and terminated with "Tour lov ing cousin. Mamie." What connection the deceased had with any of these names was not revealed at the Inquest held In the afternoon. As far as heard from, there was no one in Mil Traukle who knew a man answering the description or to cither of the names.

C Her rcn. who remained In Portland briefly a couple of weeks ago. and was said to be i a lawyer of Moscow. Idaho, has been i arrested In Tacoma, charged with giving a eneefc on banks where he had no funds. The complaint is made by the manage ment of the Imperial and the St. Charles Hotels, to whom he presented checks in payment of his bill. The total amount aggregates about JIOO. A Third-street sa loon Is Included among those complaining that Herren's paper has no value. Herren seemed well-to-do while sojourn ing In Portland, and to nil intents and purposes was here on legal business. His bill at the Imperial amounted to $30. which he said he would pay by check on his bank In Moscow. The check was accepted nnd sent to Moscow through the regular busi ness channels, but returned promptly dis honored. The same experience was had by the St. Charles, although the amount was somewhat less. J. H. Moore's saloon, on Third street, sustained comparatively light loss through a confidence In Herren's promise and signature. Last Friday tho police were notified of the dishonored checks, nnd Chief Mc Lnughlan began a search for the mnn who had given them. He was confident Herren had not left the city at that time, and Instituted a careful guard of the de pots and wharves of outgoing trains end steamers. In some manner Herren passed through the lines, nnd was caught yester day In Tacoma by the police there. Extra dition papers are being prepared for his return to this state, which will be effected soon. If no technicalities prevent. Herren Is not very well known about Portland among the lawyers.

WILL BE BURIED HERE llODV OP JAMES HAItlll.NGTOX 13 COMING HU3IU. lie Uei One of the Heroes of the Flit. plno War, and the Pride of the Second Oregon. James Harrington, the man of the Sec ond Oregon Volunteers who won the high est praise from his superiors bestowed during the, Luzon campaign. Is to have final resllng-place in Oregon soil. Har rington was killed at Tabon bridge, near San Isidro, and was burled In the San Isidro cemetery, his grave being made obscure as possible that the Filipinos would not desecrate it. While Chaplain Gilbert carefully prepared a planof the plot and transmitted It to headquarters. It was not supposed that Harrington's body would ever be raised from the grave where his comrades laid him. Yesterday General Summers received a telegram stating that Harrington's body was at the Presidio, and would be shipped north this week. Harrington was a private in Corn- ween, iiarr.ngiuu ii a. iit.iaic m .u.- pany G. and was reputed one of the most eccentric members of the regiment. He was a miner by occupation, inured to hardship and danger, and possessed the Instincts of a scout. In the earliest light ing he began manifesting these qualities, and soon was engaged In lonely excursions that seemed merely a temptation of fate. When General Lawton organized the band of couts that did such splendid work dur ing the San Isidro campaign, and was seeking for a commander, but two names were considered, and these were W. H. Young, the civilian accompanying the South Dakota-Regiment, and James Har rington, of the Oregons. Young was cho sen, but the command was practically di vided with the Oregon man when light ing commenced. At Snn Miguel, where IS scouts drove over 300 Filipinos from their trenches in a protracted engagement that will ever shine as an example of daring and courage. Young was wounded in the knee with a brass-coated Remington bul let, while he nnd Harrington were lead ing the scouts over the bridge Into the city. The brave leader was seen by tho Filipinos to fall, and he thought they were going 'to make an effort to either capture him or finish his life, when Harrington calmly assured him that the blacks would have to kill both If they charged back. Harrington, by his coolness and skill, steadily pressed on across the bridge, drove four or five rillplno sharpshooters from a splendid position In the steeple of an old stone church, took the position him self, and added materially to tho discom fiture of the fleeing enemy. He wns In stantly killed a day or two later while at the head of a movement almost equally dangerous, which resulted -in a few scouts charging a bridge, driving the overpower ing force of the enemy from fine trenches on the other side, extinguishing the fire set to the wooden structure, nnd captur ing a part of the trenches by which the remainder could be enfiladed. When General Lawton heard of the deaths of Harrington nnd Young, who died of blood poisoning about the some moment Harrington was killed, he said he had lost the equal of a regiment of soldiers. In the General's dispatches to headquarters ho said they were the two bravest men he had ever met. Arrangements for Har rington s funeral at San Isidro were very quiet. General Lawton did not hear of the interment until after the soldier had been laid In the ground. Then he com plained that he had not been notified, as he was preparing to attend, with his full staff, as a special mark of distinction for the brave, unassuming soldier whom ho admired so much. News that Harrington's body will be re turned for burial will be gladly received by the members of the Second Oregon. All regard the achievements of this plain, simple man, whose life was sacrificed, as far above nnythlng else done on the lslnads, with the exception of Young's work. Both were very remarkable men. Tho body will probably be here before Saturday. If It does come by that date, the funeral ceremony will be held next Sunday. The burial will be In the mili tary plot at Rivervlew cemetery. Har rington had no friends or relatives In the West. He had a sister somewhere in the , Y' ' J ""ffi ' " S1? East, ot whom he rarely spoke. He said , Lea2ue 0"leubl'ca?

Dearbcrn. of Salem, died at C o'clock yesterday morning at tthe Good Samaritan Hospital. His remains were taken to Salem yesterday afternoon, and tho funeral will be held from tho Metho dist Church nt that city Thursday after noon. Mr. Dearborn was stricken with typhoid fever at his home at Salem five months ago. and never completely rallied -.from the attack.

Texas Populist Repented Speech, of Tito Years Ago. James H. Davis, of Texas, the Populist "cyclone" whose biennial ministrations to the dlpjruntled and discontented elements on the Pacific Coast have become matters of political history, spoke for two hours last night In the Assembly Hall of the Chamber of Commerce to about 300 people. Mr. Davis speech was almost a repetition of those he made In Oregon in May, ISM. and 1S98, and consisted mainly In arraign ment of class against class. Some of his appeals to class prejudice, were clothed In a certain rude eloquence, for which tho ---- -- ---. - ---- l'opullstlc speelbinder Is famous, and tho clerical and sonorous manner of h'a diction added to this made the lengthy speech rather entertaining. About one-third of the audience was composed of women, most ot whom, no doubt, wero present to hear a brief talk which was given on women's suffrage by Miss Morrow, of Chicago, but who also remained and listened attentively to the "Cyclone's" heart-to-heart talk with Popu lists, and who smiled and applauded when his Laura Jean Llbbey sentences fell un unially thick and fast Mr. Davis Is a professional, rather than an amateur. Populist, and it Is easy to be Jleve that his cowboy boots and negligee shirt are worn for effect Instead of com fort. Chairman Adams, ot the Democratic Central Committee, presided over the meeting, and Miss Morrow lead in rins ing "America," ppoke for 10 minutes, and the remainder of the evening was occupied by the "Cyclone." The first half hour was devoted to free silver, and glittering generalities were used. He quoted from Benjamin Franklin and from the Declaration of Independence, copiously. "Law alone makes money," he said. He arraigned class against class, and related how many thousands of peo ple were homeless. "The majority of the American people have no homes," he con tinued, "and most of them have no hopes of a borne. Corporations and trusts own land enough In this country to cover an area as large as nine average American states. "God never made an Earl or a Duke, or a Lord or a trust, or a corporation. "This same bond-holding, aristocratic class also controls and operates nil the great highways of the Nation. They own and control $3 out of every 4 In this Republic, They also hold a debt. National, state, municipal and Individual of $516 a head on every man, woman and child In tho Nation." Tha last half of Mr. Davis speech was on the subject of expansion. Among other things he said: "The two greatest Chris tian nations of the world are engaged In a very similar transaction; one Is crush ing a republic already formed, and the other If preventing a republic from being formed." COMMITTEE SECRETARY. W. S. Dnnlnny Appointed for Orcson IlepabMcaiu. Willis S.

One-Cent Pontage Favored Resolu tions In Memory of M. Znn Trus tees Favor a. Full Censna. The board of trustees of the Chamber of Commerce held Its stated special meet ing at 10:30 yesterday morning. There was present a full attendance, with President Taylor In the chair. A discussion was held at some length regarding the efforts now being made by Oregon members In Congrca looking to ward the Improvements necessary for tne mouth of the Columbia River. A special committee was appointed to take into consideration the Loud bill liln Congress. Tills Is a measure looking to the adoption of a l-cent rate ot post age In lieu of the present 2-cent rate. Re garding tho present deficit In the receipts of the Postofflce Department. It seems that that ls due to the great quantity of matter carried free, which Is denomi nated as fourth class. This being so, tho reduction to a l-cent rate would not furth er decrease receipts. Indeed, It fa be lieved that the amount of mall matter under the hend of first dines would be largely augmented. The commltteo ap pointed to further the matter consist of H. W. Scott, Henry Hahn and E. T. Will lams. The trustees adopted resolutions and wired the Oregon Congressional delega tion to the effect that the operation of the navigation laws of the United States should be extended to Hawaii, since thaie Islands are now American territory. The trustees feel, as do tho American people generally, that vessels leaving Pacific Coast ports for Honolulu carrying Ameri can products, or coming from Honolulu to these ports, should bo American ves sels. The committee on entertainment of tho membert of the Interstate Commerce Commission on the occasion of their recent visit to Portland reported a meet enjoy able trip up the river. A vote ot thanlcJ was tendered to President Mohler, of the O. R. & N., for the use of the steamer T. J. Potter and the services of Its of ficers on that occasion. Tho late Marino Zan was a member of the Chamber of Commerce for many years. Out of respect to him, the fol lowing resolutions were adopted: Whereas. Our esteemed and hlshly respected fellow member. Marino Zan. bos been re moved from us by death; .and. Whereas. The Portland Chamber of Com merce has lost In him one ot Us best and most faithful member?, and the City of Portland a lojal citizen, and one ever Identified with Its Interests and prosTess; therefore, bo it litrolvrJ. 'lluit the Portland Chamber ot Commerce, through Its specially appointed committee, hereby tecd?rs to the famlly'of the deceased Its utmost sympathy, and sincerely mourns with them their Ions, and expresses t them the CTeat confidence which tho business men of Portland reposed in Mr. Zan's charac ter and motives; and, be It further Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions b spread upon the records of the Chamber of Commerce, and a copy of the same bo present ed to the family. The matter of the United States census soon to be taken was taken up. The board is determined to take such measures at will Insure a full and complete census one that ehall give an accurate report and make a correct record of the popula tion and resources of this state and city. Several other matters of importance to Oregon In general and Portland In par. tlcular were discussed at length. IN THE WATER COMMITTEE Extension of Main Asked to Doern b'echer Furniture Factory.
