Referring to tli postponement of the sale of the 0. I'., MrMnlcahy said to the Times man, of Corvallis: "There is no money now with which to buy a railroad. It is our object to sell the road for enough money to pay up all back indebtedness at 100 cents on the dollar. To sell the road now, when there is no money to be had, would force the claims against the road into the same distress that confronts the claims against many of suspended banks in the country, and no more than thirty, forty or fifty cents on the dollar would be real ized. While in the east, oar attorney. Mr Gest, saw the bondholders and they expressed surprise and satisfaction at the showing t he road is making in the face of the hard times. People in this coun try do not give us credit for wha we have done- From the earnings of the road we have made more repairs to the bridges than Jave been made in the preceding eight years. Many large bridges.includ ing the approaches to the Albany and Santiam bridges, have been completely renewed. Alt bridges east of Albany are good for five years to come. We have put nearly sixty thousand new ties into the track and repaired the rolling stick, which is now io first-class condition." With reference to the report that the O P would put on a line of steamers to Hon olulu, MrMulrahy declined to impart any tnforma'-ion other than that the 8ctieme was not ready for the public. "It involves another railroad," he said, "that would be a transcontinental line and wonld be a great help to the Oregon Pacific." Continues to Hope. The Salem Jour nal writes up a visit to the state peniten tiary, where most of the inmates are hav ing an easy time so far as work goes. They are required to march an hour morning anil afternoon, otherwise do nothing Imt read ami lounge. Speaking of Capt V W Saunders, sent from Albany for life, it says: Captain Saunders is 1001000 remarkai-iy wli. Attired in light colored trousers and a blue sack coat, with hair parted and puffed faultlessly correct. Re presented a very neat appearance for a life time pris oner. His cell is a model of neatness, ac commodated with shelves, and the walls are almost hidden with photographs of rel atives and acquaintances. In and around this cell he spends most of his time, much of which is occupied in reading. Saun ders U always very sensitive of a visitor's presence, though, unlike most prisoners, he never allows his eyes to catch those of an observer until introduced by a guard. He has whiled away six years of his sen tence and has not abandoned all hope of som-time regaining his freedom. When asked regarding his hopes he replied. "There's not a prisoner here but realizes the truth of tht words 'Hope springs eter nal in the human ureast,' ' and he hopes yet to some day bask unfettered in heaven's briirht sunlight. His Taanrs Nearly Ended. The following from the Dallas Transcript makes ns pause with & lump in our throat: The "Pilgrim" Haziett showed up in Dallas Sunday, on bit regular round. Twenty years ago when the writer first knew HaUett he was in the prime of life and could pile up as manv nonpareil ems as the best of them- Now the weight 't ye r- is upon htm; his locks ha.-e become silvered, nis eyesight is bed'mmed and his former steadv gait at the case is alow an.l uncertain.

The Mt Ho reb Alliance have pessed a series of resolu tions providing for the prevention of the demonetization of silver, 850 per capita of circulation, that banks are a standing men ace, that the country is full of puup-r-. that silver be monetized in a parity of 15 io 1. that national banks lie abolished and their currency destroyed, that the govern raent iime St.OOO.QOO.OOO of paper money to be loaned at 2 per cent and that $50 per capita te forever guaranteed, that in case congress at its present session fails or re fuses to comply subt-tantially with the above resolutions, a committee of safety be appointed, to consist of not lew than three from each state, to take charge of this gov ernment, and that the present administra tion and congress be forced to resign and turn thi- government over to said commit tee, the representative of this people. Abolish It. The Eugene Guard says The Oregon Pacific railroad has made a rate of $2 50 per ton, on wheat, from Alba ny ufSan Francisco. The friant monopo ly, the Southern Pacific railroad, charges ourpeoplc for 123 miles, to Portland. $i 20 per ton. In plain terms, a highway robljery; and rtull uie ,-tale raairoou oum ruixsion stands id'v by and make no move to protect the prorlarer. By all means the next legislature should aboliah said com minsion. which is prrying on the taxpayers and protecting the corporationi of the state. One relief will come as soon as the river rises a few feet. The Oregon Pacific will run boats here and fhip all wheat offered, and at prices that will be far below those chargedbytheSPRR.

Some time ago the Albany Woolen Mills secured the contract for furnishing suits for the state militia, then the contract for blankets for the Orphans Home at Salem. Now this is followed up by securing the contract for rurnishing suits for the boys at the Re form School. Albany is not the capital of the state, but it is capital when uecuring contracts for woolen goods. No Road.

Yesterday mo ning City Marshal Sam Miller, II A Whitman, s jeweler, and Sick Falkern, all of Hubbard, took two t funis and went to Butteville, where they obtained a crowd of wiiite men opposed to Chinese hop pickers and returned to HnbbarJ at noon. They asked permission of the McKinney brothers, who have a large hop yard near Hubbard, 'o send away the Chinamen employed in their yard. The McKinneya told the mob that'tbev had leased the yard to the Chinamen f nd had nothing to say as to whether they should remain or go away. Then Mil ler, Whitman and ralkern drove out to the hop yard and captured eighteen or nineteen Chinamen. They carted them to town and sent them away on the af ternoon train six being sent tr Gervais, where it is understood they came trom and eleven or twelve to Portland. The full fare of each Chinaman was paid. Who put up the money for the fares is not known, but it is supposed the citi zens of Hubbard contributed the cash'. When Sheriff John Knight was in the hop country Tuesday he appointed L I) Khler and tJyion D Grimm deputy sher iffs. When the raid at the McKinney yard became known these deputies or ganized a strong posse of citizens and went after the rioters. It was a well or gan iced-and efficient posse and so ener getically did it work that soon eighteen of the agitators were under arrest and locked in the Hubbard armory. A tele gram was sent to the sheriff and he im mediately left for the scene of trouble, arriving there about ti o'clock in the eve ning. Whitman was then arrested, making the nineteenth man. Four or five other prisoners, including the ring leaders in the difficulty, are expected to be arrested and breught to Salem this morning. Statesman. Trk Doll Cabxival last evening at the Y M C A Hall was a great success. The rooms were packed until there was hardly elbow room . The exhibition of dolls was well gotten up. There were four booths. The first, a miniature parlor, contained the old dolls, dolls that had been kept over a year. A few were quite aged. Mi- Annie Condi t was voted the first prize in this de partment, a pretty doll. The next was a lawn scene, with a lake in the center, swings, hammocks and easy chairs making it a natural one. Miss Lea Blain secured the first prize for havincr tin- liamlsoineyt doll. The third and fourth were the pau per and hospital departments, a sicklv looking lot oi decrepit old dolls that must have been having a hand at the parrot and monkey game. A tramp doll owned by Fred Pike won the prise in these booths'. During the evening a short program was ted. consisting of a aotur bv a otiar- Messrs McCullagh and Thompson. Mr. and Diss Swart, a muling bv Crawford and a tons bv a trio. Mr Thompson. Mis Swart and Mrs Nut ting.

"-? -"iff hew vein imui, New Yobx, September 1st, 1893. A change for the better has certainly transpired during the past week, in the financial world. The stringency in cur rency has relaxed to quite an encourag ing extent. There is no doob: that the action of the house in passing the repeal act of the Sherman silver law by so large and decided a majority came as a stimulant to the distressed financial con dition of the country. It Is expected that when the senate has passed the re peal the discontinuance of silver pur chasing will revive the tost confidence ill money circles. . It is gratifying to know that the nnru ly and cowardly anarchists have faiied or ceased in their attempt to urge the vast army of unemployed to use violence in the c iv. Perhaps the hrui word of the law, as understood bv the police de partment, has had is effect upon tbe restless and cowardly foreign e'einent which reused so much trouble in insti gating a riot at Walhalla hall last week. As September is rapidiy approaching. activity among politicians is renewed and the prospects for an intoiesthw and aeianating eauanatga are very bright. The democratic state committee has met and agreed upon Saratoga a the con vention city and Oct 4 as tbe date.

There ore no pupils lieside our own owing to the war. The President and troops came down from Monrovia the some time 1 came home, but by another steamer. The Liberians liare a small gun boat you know, so at lost all was ready ami yesterday they took the field. It just poured rain all the morning, but they did some sharp fighting. Two of the Monrovia soldiers were killed, two of the Bassa regi ment and three Gretios, and at least twenty wounded. Liter reports put our loss at 16 killed ami 32 wounded. Of the loss of the Rock Town people it is impossible to tell, but cur I'liika men who fought their way inside thi- barricade says tliere were very many killed. If it had not been for a blun der of the Monrovian regiment in firing oa our I'liika men by mistake just a they forced the b-wrkride. they certainly wonld have burned Rock Town. They h.u! it on fire on ce, but the rain drowned ii out. Yon never saw sacJi rain as cam? down. There were time I could hardly see tbe gate not 90 yard away. In the evening I went out to see what I could do and found five poor fellows worm-led, laid on the floor in an old house; the women were trying to do some thing for them so I furnished coven and bread and tea for them at once. They were shot in tbe morning and had faun in the rain ail day with nothing to eat of coarse, last night the Monrovia regiment started to retreat after the Bassa and Cape Palmas regiments bad fought their war from Plaka around to the north of Rock Town, snd were being helped by the gunboat. ieneral Shumannith. who is ill and not able to take the field, awl the President, crossed over to 11 uka snd sent word akmgthe line if a man crossed the river be would be shot, so they had to go back to camp. We bear the guns this morning but do not kmnf how thing are going. One of the wounded Liberians died this morning. Tbe Fish Town people do not properly belong to the Rock Town people but they have hired them to join them. Garrawav people are allied to tbe government and are marching from the north, but they have to conquer tbe Xinmia people, their old enemy, before they can join the attack on Rock Town.

Lizzie McNeil. a arisuMisK. Tbe news from Washington is to the effect that there is likely to be a com pro miss on tbe silver question in tbe senate. Well, then, it is in order for the Cemock at to suggest a plan of solution. It is as follows: First, reptal the Siierman silver purchas ing act. Second, pass a law providing for the free coinageof silver bullion, tbe pro duct of the mines of the United States. Third, pass a strin-rent law against the importation or coinage of foreign bullion or foreign com. l ass a graduated income Ux law, imposing a tax on ail incomes over f2000, $5000 cr $10,000. Pass a tariff law in harmony with the Chicago platform and the problem is solved. We believe that the United Stales can float at par all silver produced in tbe mines of tbe United State provided foreign silver bullion and silver is excluded fiora American coinage No silver should be coined that will not pass as current as a gold dollar. We uq lieve that the legis'atlon sinrgeited above would result in a full and umple return of prosperity to the country. The (late campilg i is on tn Virginia wiih the administration candidate, Con gressman O r'e;r1l, ter governor on the democratic ticket, standing cn the Chicago platform as to silver, snd E K Cocke, on the populist ticket, for the same office on a free-silver platform . The populist mem bers of congrces are encouraged over the financial fight o far, and propose to give the populists of Virginia all the help poss ible in the way of speakers, in the belief that a victory therj will gteatly strengthen the party all over the country. Today they issued a proclamation to all populist who believe in free coinage, outlining the situation in Virginia, calling on all in sympathy with them to contribute to the campaign fund by leading contributions to C H Pron, care of the Virginia Sun, Richmond. An average summer waits at an Atlantic City hop covers three-quarters of a mile. COMPROMISE An eastern dispatch says: Tbe air atemt the senate wing of the capitol is full of rumor of compromise I . r. , .. . ... . uji, me nnaiiciai question, but it is tm possible to trace most of these fo any source wbicb appears authoritative, or which indicates any organized movement of sufficient force to produce results. One given out with the greatest attention to details, which bears a slight promise of fruition in case it should prove true, is to the effect that Gorman i moving in tbe direction of a compromise. It is reported that be has been to the executive mansion with a suggestion to the effect that it wonld be impossible to secure action on the part of the senate until tbe repeat forces shall have agreed to some compromise which tbe silver men will accept Gorman's former f riendibip for the white metal and the fact that be is personally on good terms with the senator from the silver states, together with the fact that be has long been one of tbe democratic leaders in the senate, caused thi report to appear very plansabJe, not withstanding tbe many circumstances which seemed to confirm toe report. Gor man deniei tbe story inexplicit terms, and assured the questioner the report a utterly without foundation. "We shall," be mid, "fight this thing out to a finish, sad when s vote is taken it will be upon the proposition of unconditional repeat," It in also given out that Faulkner and Lindsay are working in tbe interest of core promise. Lindsay said be bad no nsensare of compromise to offer ss reported, but favored tbe continued ate of silver. He intimated be would support a fair compro mise. Fsn'kner did not hesitate to tay to the senrtor that, while if forced to do so be wonld vote for nnronditiowal repeal., be bou!d first try to git through an amend ment to tbe pending bill, providing for tbe coinage of 3,000,000 silver dollars per month until tbe silver ia circulation (hall reach 100.000,000, and for the retirement of all bibs of denomination below flO. The repeal leaders ridicule tbe idea of a compromise, but are no longer so confident of rushing the bill to s rapid conclusion. Tbe silver men declare they can at any time get s safe majority on s compromise on the line of Faulkner's proposition. The chart obstacle in the way of compromise appear to be tbe difficulty of formulating s proposition upon which the southern snd western and repeal democrats can unite. There is little doubt a while repealing the Sherman act, at the same lime repealed tbe 10 per cent tax oa tbe state bank issues, would be accepiab! e to the southern democratic senators, but the western silver senator, would ocubtless reject such an offer of compromise. On the other nana, a com prom se involving stiver that ouW beaceited by the western sen ators, probably would not satisfy tbe south era deiuxrats uttiess accompanied by kgjs laiioo to rroiuote an iftsue of state bank cmrencr . It is hardly probable tbe repeal forces would snssect to a compromise ia Tolvtng concession on both of these que tionv lt.ru present policy is appareolfy rSSfSLXfPt TWWre of a compromise. lest tbe mere ruggedKn rtteoldopen the field to an avaiancfee of proposition, only farther embarrass tbe situation. atsi COLLECTOR BLACK roXFlKHKP.
