THE MOBNIXG OEEGOUIAN, MONDAY, AUGUST 27, 1900. RED INTO A TRAIN Italians Kill One Man and Wound Two in Idaho. UKUNKEN LABORER WAS THE CAUSE TSncteeer Itefoaed to Surrender Men to the Slob, end. a General Fusillade Emned. SPOKANE, Aug. S. "With the side of bis head torn away with shot and a bul let lodged In bis right shoulder, I. B. Harlow lies at the Sacred Heart Hospital with poor chances of recovery. He was the victim of an assault at Hauser Junc tion last night, and but for the timely In terference of train hands would havo been killed on the spot. His partner is supposed to have been Tdlled by the same mob of Italians who attacked Harlow, and Section Foreman Martin Coleman has en ugly gash In his wrist. None of the Italians was injured as far as known. Sheriff Bradbury, of Kootenai County, Idaho, reached the scene of the fight at a late hour last night, and has a score of the Italians under arrest. The fight was started by an alterca tion between the section foreman and a drunken Italian. The laborer stabbed the foreman in the arm. Just then Harlow and his partner appeared on the scene, and took the foreman's side. They laid out two of the Italians who had joined their drunken associate. Then the Italians retreated to their car and soon returned with many willing assistants. They drove the two young men upon a switch en gine and opened fire on the train crew because the latter refused to deliver Har low and his friends Into their hands. En gineer McGIUlvray was In charge of the train, which had been backed upon a sid ing while waiting for a special to pass on the main line. Harlow took refuge in the cab of the engine, and his partner crawled to the running board on the op posite side from the mob. Brandishing guns, knives and clubs, the Italians soon reached the engine and de manded that the engineer surrender the two men or he would be killed. The en gineer parleyed with the angry mob for some time until some of .the infuriated Italians began shooting into the cab. This seemed to be the signal for a general luslllade, and bullets rained about the engineer as he stood In his cab facing the mob. He was not hit. but a bullet from a "Winchester struck Harlow In the shoulder, and, as he fell, the contents of a shotgun tore away the side of his head. After Harlow fell, the firing slack ened, and the engineer got down from his cab to remonstrate with the Italians. He was driven back at the muzzle of a rifle and ordered to deliver the two men. It was only upon his repeated assurance that one of the men had been killed and the other had left the cab that the en gineer's life was spared. In the mean time. Harlow's partner had crawled dpwn from the opposite side of the cab and started to run for his life. He was pur sued and surrounded. The Italians at once opened fire on the defenseless man. and it is believed he was shot to death. TREASURER TOUXG "WTM, PAY. Will Malce Good Fraudulent War rants Issued by His Deputy. OITMPIA, Aug. 25'. As the end of State Treasurer Young's administration draws near the taxpayers of the state will ask the question as to what that ofllcial will do about the fraudulent state warrants paid by his deputy early in his term of office. These warrants were part of the ones issued by George D Evans, who was Deputy JState Auditor during -the Republican administration, under Aud itor L, B, Grimes and later J. E. Frst. Brans Issued between 570D0 and J00) worth of these fraudulent warrants, and when they came up for payment, two of the warrants, amounting to between 51600 and $1700, were paid by the State Treas urer. The remainder we're detected in time, and the holders of the warrants Instead of the state became the loser. Mr. Young says that he will bear the loss of the money paid by his denutv. nnd the state will not be 1 cent loser; neither will his bondsmen, be. Assistant Attorney-Genenal Vance, to whom the matter was referred, stated that the sum paid by Mr. Young was credited on the State Treasurer's books as simply "cash," and there would be no way of ascertaining Mr. Young's Inten tions regarding the money until he makes a final settlement with his successor this "Winter. In the meantime, however, the state is out the Interest on the J1700. HOPGROWERS INDEPENDENT. Easy for Them to Get Advance Money Prom Banks. OREGON CITY. Aug. 26. Picking will begin in several Clackamas County hop yards tomorrow, and by another week the hop harvest will be in full blast. H. C. Iong, a hopfarmer. of Marquam. said today that all the growers not in tho as sociation, to regulate the price of picking will pay 40 cents per box. The price agreed on by the association is 35 cents per box. The hops aro more solid than last year, and the yield promises to be large. But very few growers are con tracting their hops, although buyers have scoured the country with persistent so licitors, being very anxious to make ad vances. Growers have no difficulty in get ting all the money needed to car for the crop from the banks. "WORK SUSPENDED. Ken Employed on Paul Motor's Road Laid Oil. . THE DAUES. Aug. 26. The greater number of the employes of the Central Navigation & Construction Company, building what is commonly known, as the Paul Mohr portage road, on the north side of the Columbia River at The Dalles, were laid off yesterday.

Hands Needed in Morton County to Pielc Hops and Fruit. SALEM. Or., Aug. 26. It Is quite prob able that there will be a scarcity of la borers In handling the fruit and hop cr-ps of this vicinity. It is not often that prunedrying and hoppicklng begin simul taneously, but this year the gathering of both prunes and hops will be carried on at the same time. In addition to this unusual demand for help, the Salem can nery win need 200 hands to work at can olng pears. The result will probably be I that good wages will be paid to those who work with either fruit or hops. The date has not yet been set for the opening of the Salem public schools, but it is expected that the school year, will begin either the last Monday in Septem ber or the first Monday In October. In recent years it has become the custom to regulate the school term to accommodate those who engage in hoppicklng.

Business in this town has been grow ing better constantly for two weeks past, says the Klamath Falls Requbllcan. The streets are crowded with teams and the stores with people, and the general ani mation to be seen on every hand is at least 60 per cent ahead of what it was a year ago. The causes are grand crops, good health, plenty of money and favor able railroad prospects. There are not rooms enough in Aber deen, says the Bulletin, to accommodate the people coming here.

Despite- a cold, drizzling rain, the patriotic and sacred song service at the Coliseum tonight was attended by a throng that taxed to the utmost the capacity of the building. For an hour before the exercises began at S o'clock the sidewalk on Wabash avenue was impassable for a block in both di rections. A body of police had their hands full handling the crowd. The jam was terrific and, although none was in jured, many gowns and coats were wrecked. It is estimated that fully 13,000 people were packed Into the hall. Thou sands more were unable to gain admis sion. Bishop Samuel Fallows, of Chicago, chairman of the encampment committee GALLERY OF OREGON GREEN & HARBAUGH, OF THE M3IINNVILLE TRANSCRIPT.

He graduated from the Missouri State University In 18S0, in both the civil and topographical engineering courses, and Immediately entered the United States engineer ing service, and was engaged on the survey of the Mississippi "River from Keokuk to New Orleans until 1S84, when falling health caused his resignation. After teaching for some time he engaged In the printing business, first as editor of the Utlca Herald, then as president of the Keokuk Publishing Company, afterward as editor and proprietor of the Halo Times, and also the Hale Hustler. Mr. Green has been connected with the Valley Transcript for nearly two years, and since January last as one of the proprietors. C. E. Harbaugh was born in Logan County, Ohio, March 12, 1S58. At the age of 7 he removed to Clay County, Missouri, with his father, and received a common-school education, after which he attended the State University at- Columbia, Mo., taking a course In civil en gineering.

On the platform with him were Mayor Harrison, Commander-in-Chief Shaw, Rev. Thomas C. Illf, of Salt Lake City; General Daniel E. Sickels. Rev. E. G. Hlrsch. of Chi cago, and a host of department command ers of. the G. A. R., as well as the local officials In charge of Chicago's end of the encampment. Then Bishop Fallows ex tended an eloquent welcome to the visit ing veterans. A responsive reading was led by Rev. J. D. Severlngham, of Chi cago. Bishop Fallows then Introduced Commander-in-Chief Shaw, who. spoke at some length upon "True Patriotism." Rev. E. G. Hirsch delivered a patriotic ad- 4, dress, and.. Rev., T. D. Wallace pro nounced the benediction, between tne addresses musical numbers were given by the band of 100 pieces, and vocal se lections were given by soloists. ,. During the afternoon a service for chil dren, given at the Coliseum, was attend ed by fully 10,000 people. Addresses were made by Commander-in-Chief Shaw and Bishop Fallows. Veterans and visitors to the encamp ment came in by the thousands today. Railroad officials estimated that fully 75,000 people arrived during the day, of which number 10,000 were members of the G. A. R. This made a total of 29,000 al ready In the city, and reports indicate that tomorrow's arrivals will swell the number. Reception committees were at all the stations. They are "tenting on the old camp grounds" in Lincoln Park to night. In spite of the steady, drizzling rain and the water-soaked ground, the pale light of lanterns glimmered through the walls of white tents along the Lake Shore drive, where groups of old sol diers sat around ruddy camp fires and sang "Marching Through Georgia," and told stories of the fighting for the Union. Miss Clara Barton, head of the Red Cross Society of the United States, ar rived today, accompanied by Mrs. Allen S. Mussey, of Washington, vice-president, and by other officers of the organization. Unless the unexpected happens, it Is probable that Major Leo Rausseur, of St. Louis, will be elected commander-in-chief at the business session Wednesday. General Jihn C. Black, of Illinois, who, al. though he made no canvass, had devel oped considerable strength among the vet erans of the Western and Northwestern States, has declined to be a candidate. This apparently leaves a clear field for Major Rausseur, for no other name has so far been mentioned. Indications point to his unanimous selection. The programme for tomorrow 'includes the dedication of the naval arch in Mich igan avenue at 9 A. M., the parade of the naval veterans and a naval battle off Lincoln Park. The chief feature of the day is to be the reunion of the ex prisoners of war at the Coliseum tomor row night. A monster gathering Is ex pected. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.

Since Japan's national navy began to be formed, 30 years ago, they have not lost a single ship owing to faulty seamanship. One vessel, a cruiser built In France, dis appeared on. her way out from Europe, while still In the hands of the French, and one. a gunboat, sank by collision with a foreign steamer In circumstances that did not convict the Japanese of any fault.

Promising Strikes This Season Near Cable Cove. SUMPTER, Or., Aug. 26. Good finds have been made this season north and west of Cable Cove. The ore is encoun tered at the grass roots, carries sliver, lead and some gold, and has the appear ance ot having been taken from depth. E. A. Kingman, a Boston mining man, has arrived to' inspect the Gypsy King, his attention having been called to It by W. H. "W. Hamilton. An Inspection of the claim proved all that had been said of Its richness, and the sale will prob ably be made in a few days. What is considered one of the best strikes of the year was made In the Minneapolis mine, at Bourne. As In many other prospects, the surface values were small. When the tunnel was In 25 feet NEWSPAPER MEN-NO. 22. the ore assayed only 63 cents in gold, but the men having the properly under bond, E. Sanderson Smith and' C. H. Fenner, were not discouraged. As work progressed, values increased, running SO cents, $2 60. $4, $S, $12 and $14, and in tho last 15 feet a two and one-half foot ledge was encountered that runs as high as $15 55 per ton. In several places the ore was absolutely valueless, but the indica tions now are that a permanent body has been struck. The formation is slate and porphyry, and the values are found In the contact. The rock looks lean, but yields coarse gold In large quantities when panned. This Is In a section that has been overlooked, as the ledges of value were-all supposed to be on the op posite side of Cracker Creek. Another goodillustration of the say ing that "gold is where you find It" is offered by the Hope claim on O'Farrell Gulch, opposite the Umpqua Mining & Milling Company's property. The claim was located two years ago, but was gen erally considered worthless by experts. Several months ago George Louks, whp knows nothing of mining, came along and purchased the claim. He began work at once, put up buildings and drove a tunnel for the ledge, striking It when In a short distance. Today he has a body of fine-looking quartz that gives an as say of $10 to $11 to the ton. Jack Hennessy reports work progressing at the Gold Bug Grizzly, joining the Ibex on the west. Where the ledge was cut It showed 12 feet of ore. A drift of 50 feet was made and the ledge widened to 25 feet. The values are godd and nre maintained throughout. Mr. Hennessy thinks he has another Ibex, and intends to push development to determine the full extent and value of his property. H. S. McCallum, general manager of tho Bald Mountain and Mammoth, has decided to Install mills at once on both properties. The Mammoth will have a 10-stamp mill and vanners. while the Bald Mountain will be equipped with 20 stamps and vanners. The forces employed on these properties will be more than doubled within the next three months, as it requires ore to keep 30 stamps busy. Thd Bald Mountain adjoins the Ibex, while the Mammoth is two miles to the east, near Silver Creek and the Cable Cove country. BLUE RIVER DISTRICT. Mill in Bryan Mine Set Up nnd Given a Trinl. ENGENE, Or., Aug. 26. Dr. Candiani is rushing development work on his claims in the Blue River mining district. The stamp mill on the Bryan mine Is ready for business. The plates were set In position Wednesday, and Friday the mill began work for trial. If the mill works well It will continue to grind away at the ore on the dump as long as the weather will permit. Dr. Candiani is also putting in a five-stamp mill on the Sunset, which he has bonded. He expects to have this mm working In a few weeks. The Sun set is the mine which has been show ing such phenomenally rich ore, where the owner, Mr. White, used to grind out large quantities with a common arastra. The Lucky Boy mill, which for some time has been able to work only part of its stamps on account of an Inadequate supply of water, Is now running at full capacity. Improvements have been made whereby a better supply of water from the creek has been made available. The product of this mill continues uniformly ricn. C. M. Young has started for Blue River with two heavy loads of supplies for the Durango mine. This mine Is one of the oldest locations in the district. It is owned in Eugene, but no development work of consequence has been done. The com pany has been doing enough work to keep up its assessment, and that Is about all. Now, however, they are beginning to work with a determination of finding out what they have In their mine. Last week they sent up a frame bunk and supply-house, whloh is Intended to furnish shelter so that woTk can be prosecuted during the Winter. The house was framed and cut In Eugene and hauled to the mine "knocked down," and It took but a short time after its arrival to put it together. A force of men will be at work on this mine In a few days, and will probably continue during most of the. Winter. After a sufficient amount of development work has been done to warrant the expense, a mill will be put up to handle the ore. This mine is one of the highest on Gold Hill, and after development has progressed sufficiently to give an accurate survey, it is the intention to run a tunnel from the bottom of the hill, striking the ledge at a depth ot 1000 feet or more.

Physical Superiority o Americans Was Apparent, and There Was No Doabt of Their "Victory. PARIS, Aug. 26. The Vesper Boat Club, of Philadelphia, today won the senior eight-oared championship, the only event in the international regatta held under the auspices of the Paris Exposition in which the Americans competed. Several thou sand spectators gathered along the banks of the Seine, where the regatta was held. A large number of their fellow-countrymen cheered the American crew to vic tory. Every man was trained to the hour, and all regarded the result as a fore gone conclusion. This conviction was shared by the bookmakers, who refused all bets on the Americans. Four crews competed, the others being the Minerva eight, from Amsterdam, and the Germanla, of Hamburg, and the Ghent crew. The race began at 5:30 P. M. The Americans were clearly physi cally superior to their opponents, their big frames and athletic build evoking flattering commetft when they carried their oars from the boathouse to the waterside and took their places in the shell. Immediately on the firing of the pistol the Vespers went ahead. That their self confidence was well founded was shown In the first few hundred yards, when they had secured such a lead as dispelled all doubt of their victory. From that mo ment Interest centered in the distance by which they would win. Amid cheers they finished an easy first by several lengths. Time, 6:07 4-5. The Ghent eight was sec ond, the Minervas third, and the Germa- nlas brought up the rear. The prizes were a piece of bronze statuary, worth about $S0, to each member of the crew. The Americans were very Indlgnnnt at the decision of the committee to allow three of the eights which competed in the first trial heat yesterday to race In the final today, instead of the winner. The committee based Its decision on the ground that the second and third crews In the trial heat made faster time than the Americans, who won the second trial beat. The Americans replied that the question of ,time' in heats is Immaterial. Moreover, they say they made no effort to attain fast time. In view of the fact that their French competitors virtually abandoned the race when ft was about half over. Fred Fortmyer, ofllcial rep resentative of the Americans In the sports, said, regarding the committee's decision: "It is quite foreign to all our notions and rules. The race today ought to have been between the Vespers and the winner of the first trial heat. This Is the way we interpret the rules of racing, and, un less the French change their method, we shall never again compete in this coun try. Personally, I do not believe any other American crew would be willing to enter under such conditions." TORPEDOES LOSE AT SPOKANE. Flemminsr Pitched Well, But Re ceived Poor Support. SPOKANE, Wash.. Aug. 28. Twenty-two hundred people saw the Torpedoes lose the third game to the Spokane team today, and the crowd went home admiring the work of Pitcher Flemmlng, of the visitors. He pitched a clever game, and should havo won. but the men behind him, with a few exceptions, played poor ball. The Tor pedoes lost the game In the second Inning, when a double, single, a man hit by a pitched ball, errors by the second base man, the third baseman and another double gave Spokane five runs. Spokane made three In the third without getting a hit. Then the Torpedoes took a brace, and only In the seventh did Spokane score again. The Torpedoes scored in the sec ond on two hits and a stolen base, made four in the fifth on five hits and errors by Spokane, and one in the seventh on a base on balls, a steal and a hit. Zan. at shortstop, fielded well, and A. Parrott, at first, was a power at the bat. This after noon's game waa by far the best of the series, but showed that the Torpedoes were outclrssed by :by Innings: Spokane 0 Torpedoes 0 Spokane.

Alivnya of Uneven Quality Sorao Noted Specimens. Kansas City Star. It is generally agreed that the horrors of war in South Africa, have been greatly augmented by the versification which it has called forth. The quality of the poetry evoked by war has always been uneven, but It was to have been ex pected that at least some verse In a lofty strain should have come from so gifted a land as Great Britain. The Civil War In the United States produced "John Brown's Body," but It was the inspira tion also of these noble lines: Mine eyes havo seen the glory ot tho coming- ot the Lord: He Is tramplner out the vintage wher tho grapes ot wrath are stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword. His truth is marching on. If the rioters In the French Revolu tion danced to the doggerel of the "Car magnole" they were roused to action, too, by the lofty swing of the "Marseilr laise" ; Yo sons of France, awake to glory! Hark! Hark! What myriads bid you rlsel The American Revolution failed to pro duce any poetry of abiding worth. 'Yan kee Doodle" Is a survival of that time, but It was vthe catchy tune, as played by drum and fife, that preserved the name for future generations and not the words. Who would even know that this rhyma belongs to the famous song? Father and I went down to camp. Along with Captain Goodwin, And there we saw the men and boys. As thick as hasty pudding. One of the triumphs of the War of 1812 was "The Star-Spangled Banner." For the War with Mexico Whlttler wroto "The Angels of Buena "Vista," and the Civil War Inspired many notable addi tions to the poety of the battlefield. England has "The Charge of the Light Brigade" to recall the struggle In the Crimea, and with such poets as Kipling, Swinburne and Watson there was reason to expect some stirring verse as the re sult of the South African conflict. Only a few years before the youthful Kipling had written his "Hymn Before Action": The earth is full of anger. The seas are dark with wrathj The nations in their harness Go up against our path! Ere yet we loose the legions Ere yet we draw the blade, Jehovah of the Thunders, Lord God of Battles aid! His first lines on the Transvaal situa tion were awaited with Intense interest. They are well remembered. Somebody has aptly called them "rag-time" verse. Their chorus ran: Duke's son, cook's son, son of a hundred kings Fifty thousand horse and foot going to Tablo Bay, Each of 'em doing his country's work And who's to look after their things? Pass the hat for your credit's sake, and pay, pay, pay. But this was only the beginning of Mr. Kipling's offenses. He wrote more verse on the same theme. Now, "war" is a good, strong Saxon word and is exceed ingly effective at the end of a line, but unfortunately it has few close rhymes. The author of "Recessional" could not pass it by, however. So he .wrote in the London Morning Post: "What see ye? Their signals or levin afar? "What hear yo? God's thunder or guns of our war? The ordinary reader, for whom Mr. Kipling doubtless wrote, as he printed the verse in a newspaper, may be Inter ested In knowing that "levin." once upon a time, meant lightning. In the same poem the author rhymed "war" with "mar." After the fall of Bloemfonteln the cor respondents wired this from their brill iant comrade: "We welcome to our hearts tonight Our kinsman from afar. Brothers in an empire's fight. And comrades of our war. A fragment of a shell at Klmberley that was turned into an Inkstand furnished another opportunity to link "war" and "afar." But that was only three times. In the London Dally Mall for April 21, Mr. Kipling wrote: All the world over, nursing their scars. Sit the poor fighting men broke In our wars. But "war" is a stirring word, even though it has so few good rhymes, and in the same poem he used it again, in this fashion: Ye that tread triumphing, crowned toward the stars. Pity poor fighting men broke In our wars. It was to be expected thatMr. Alfred Tor Infants and Children.

Do they think ma. a. burgher's baby. To be scared by a scolding noma? Tho poet laureate, however, had re coiled from the everyday and common place In verse. Ha apparently aimed to produce something classlcalt-llnes that would appeal to ths most cultured Instinct of the British Tommy Atkins, who, as everybody knows. Is nothing If not eru dite. So his verse recounted "Rome's manly away" and "Cannae's adverse day"; after which 'legion on legion sprang up from tho ground gleamed through tho land then over ocean wound, till Sclpio's eagles swarmed on Africa's shore and Carthage perished, to Insult no more." Later Mr. Austin came for ward with a sweeping assertion in "Spar tan Mothers." that "who flghta for Eng land fights for God." Mr. William Watson, who i3 Just now the William Llpyd Garrison of British verse, was heard on the other side, and Mr. Austin returned demoralized to tho attack in a wonderful hodge-podge. In which he outdid Mr. Kipling- by rhyming in a single stanza "Ladysmlth" with "klth and "with." and "melee" with "Dfllhil .Ugprnnn Charles Swinburne, the master JtTnelody and rhythm, has also flung himself Into the competition, with: "Wo loosen not on theso knaves Our scourge tormented slaves; Wo held tho hand that fain Had risen to amlto Tho torturer fast. Whose hand had risen? Who is the tor turer? And why should we hold the hand that fain would smite? Why not let it smite? Would it not be better to pay more attention to the feet In "Tho first line and less to the hand in the third? And yet this verse appears in a companion to the great journal that only three years ago printed the solemn words: Lord God of Hosts, be with us yot. Lest we forget lest wo forget. There is Teason to fear that this prayer has been In vain in the case of the poets.
