Comment of London Newspapers.
i LONDON. Aug. 20. The disaster to the
sanadian Pacific steamer Islander is com
peted upon by nearly all of the news
papers. In some particulars the tragedy
ra.is the loss of the Iorth German

2 Bnshels of Oats to the Acre.
M'COY, Aug. 20. E. E. Robbins has just
finished threshing a field of 15 acres of
Clydesdale Spring cats that yielded 13S0
bushels, or an average of 92 bushels per
acre. They are a plump, white oat, grow
tall, and have a good, stiff straw, which
keeps them from falling. The grain
weighs 44 pounds per bushel from .the
machine. Mr. Robbins imported the seed
from England two years ago at a cost of
$2 50 per bushel, and it weighed 50 pounds"
per bushel at that time, but was extra
well cleaned.

is quite handsome, is the one who caused
him to desert his wife some time ago.
Early this morning Bennett obtained a
search warrant from Justice Meslck, and,
with Officer Hammersley, proceeded to
the Stewart house, arrested McBride and
took possession of the baggage of the
couple, the examination of which has
not yet been completed. The couple has
been released, but are under surveillance.
Inspector Sharpe is expected tomorrow
with additional evidence. McBride is
said to be wanted for complicity in the
postofiice robberies at Salt Lake on July
14 and July 31. He says he is innocent.
The inspector, says there is no doubt he
is the man, but the conclusive evidence
has not yet been found.
When searched, on the person of Mc
Bride and the woman, and in the differ
ent articles of baggage, were found a
lot of letters, Identifying his whereabouts
at various times just before and after
the postoffice robberies "in Salt Lake last
July, a great many postoffice keys, chlo
roform, knock-out drops, etc. When ar
rested and searched McBride was cool and
acted as though he had expected It. The
woman was agitated and persisted in his
Innocpnce. It is evident from the con
versation of the couple, and their talk
with the officers, that McBride plays a
lone hand, and makes no one his con
fidant. He is posing here, as he has in
other places he has visited, as the agent
of Collier's Weekly and other publica
tions, but the home office has denounced
him as a fraud, so It Is reported. A more
thorough examination of the letters and
papers found in the baggage of the couple
will be made tomorrow, and after the ar
rival of the other inspector It will be de
cided whether to take McBride back this
time or wait for more evidence. Mr.
Bennett says they can get him within
two weeks whenever they want him.
McBride said tonight, when interviewed,
that he could establish beyond the ques
tion of a doubt that he was not In Salt
Lake City on either date when the post
office was robbed, and that he had not
been there since July 4. On July 14 he
was at Dingle, Idaho, and for two days
previous to July 31 he says he was at
Logan, Utah, and left there on the night
of July 31 and came north to Shoshone,
Idaho, where he says his name will be
found on the hotel register of August 1.
He says a woman and her daughter from
Logan were on the train with him, and
can establish the truth of his statement.
Ho says he Is a duly authorized agent of
Collier's Weekly, and Is working under
the direction of Mr. Magulre, the North
west agent of the publication, who has
an office In the Oregonlan building. He
says Magulre sends him a check every
week, and that the head office has writ
ten him frequently congratulating him on
his work.
The keys found in his possession, he
says, are time-keeper's keys, which he
had when he was time-keeper at the
Bunker Hill mine, and that he carried
them away accidentally, but that they
were rot needed, as there were duplicate
kej's at the mine. He said he wrapped
them up, Intending to return them to his
brother, who succeeded him. and is now
the time-keener, but forgot to do so. The
inspector, however, insists that they are
postoffice keys.
The inspector .laid he did not expect
to find the registered mall, but expected
to find evidence of the fact that Mc
Bride was in Salt Lake on the dates men
tioned; but thero was nothing In the bag
gage of cither McBride or the woman to
establish that fact. McBride says he Is
on his wav to Portland, rd that he will
canvass all the principal towns between
here and there. Ho expects to remain
here several days.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20. The execu

products on the Employers' Association,
which has forced the issue by
recognition to the unions, and has re

the trouble. Another attempt at con
