The gross earnings for November are estimated at $1,253,200; op erating expenses, $557,700: surplus $650,000 Human Bights and Southern Outrages the Basis of Republican Warfare. Chicago, Dec. 15. The Chicago Daily News, whose editor is very close to M r. Arthur, editorially outlines the issues of the coming presidential campaign. It says: "The key-note of the next campaign has been sounded by the republicans, both in the call for the convention aud in the reso lution adopted by the national committee. In both papers particular stress is laid upon protecting all human rights in every section of our country, and opposition to attempts to suppress human rights and destroy free suffrage and the honest counting of ballots in various states by methods of war upon humanity and civilization. The defe.it of the civil rights bill and the sudden out break of intolerance at Hazelhurst, Missis sippi, and Danville, Virginia, has been seized upon by republicans as a demonstra tion that common law does not afford that protection to the negro which was sought to be insured. It is evident that the republi cans intend to use the unsettled and in tolerant spirit recently, most unfortunately for their opponents, exhibited at the south. The same intention of making these out rages prominent is also exhibited in the recent actions of the Union League, regard ing southern bourbonism. This league is the largest and strongest political organiza tion in this country. It has at its control rnillioas of money, and has energy, shrewd ness and brains enough behind it to make it p- terribly effective to accomplish what it pur. poses. The object of the league is to over throw bourbon misrule in the south, by seeking the support of southern white men who will act in co-operation with colored voters, to secure a fair count. To carry out such proposition, a committee will be selected, composed of nine of the strongest men in the country, who will act inde pendent of the republican national com mittee, to force southern outrages to the front, and mold public opinion at the north. That the committee will effect its purpose hardly admits of reasonable doubt. The war is not to be forgotten in the next repub lican campaign. Reconciliation Between Blaine, Qraat and Conkling. Chicago, Dec. 16. A Washington spec ial says : Political gossips say that for the past two months an effort has been made to bring about a reconciliation between Blaine, Grant and Conkling, looking to the next presidential campaign. An inkling to this has already reached the president, but as between Blaine and Grant all statements been premature, but what was most desired was still unaccomplished. It is stated as an already existing fact that the reconcili ation has been sought in the interest of Belford, who is known to be the leader of t he Blaine forces in this region. The origi nal scheme contemplated the nomination of Blaine for the presidency, with the induce ment of the secretaryship of state held out to Grant and the senate to be handed back to Conkling. It was thought under this scheme, if it could be carried out, that the republican party would enter upon the next campaign with a spirit of nnbounded en thusiasm. It is now certain that a reconciliation be tween Blaine and Grant has been effected Villard Resigns. New York, Dec 17. It is officially announced that Henry Villard has resigned the presidency of the Oregon Transcontineu tal and the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company; that W. Etdicott, Jr. of Boston succeeds him as president of the Oregon Bailway and Transcontinental Company, and Tt Jefferson Coolidge, of Boston, as president of the Oregon Bailway and Navi gation Company. Coolidge will also enter the Oregon and Transcontinental board of diretora. New York, Dec 17. Commercial, "An informal declaration to-day that Villard proposes to resign from the presidency fo the Northern Pacific railway and the Ore gon and Transcontinental immediatly check a ed a precipitate and serious decline in those shares." "Although nothing official is known, it s understood that an effort ia making to dispose of Villard, and that he retires from the presidency of the Northern Pacific Co. in January, to be succeeded by Fredrick Billings, wirh Oakes as vice president and general manager. WASHINGTON MEWS. Egyptian Rags Must Be Disinfected. Washington, Dec. 14 Upon recommen dation of the surgeon general of the ma rine hospit il, the secretary of the treasury has requested the state department to in struct the United Snates consul genoral to Egypt to direct subordinates to inspect all rags gathered for export to this country. It is proposed that they be boiled, under pressure, or thoroughly fumigated with sul phurous acid gas, before shipment, the con sul or his deputy to certify to su'-h disin fection. The importance of the matter is shown by the fact that there is now belong ing to one New York firm over 6000 tons of rags, stored at Alexandria, and awaiting shipment to the United States, either direct or by trans-shipment via Liverpool. republican caucts. Washington, Dec. 17. Republican sen ators held a caucus this morning, at which it was decided not to proceed to the elec tion of a prtsident pro tern of the senate until after the holiday recess. It was ar gued that the precarious condition of sen ator Antheny's health made it advisable not to make the contemplated change just be fore a long recess. spreckels, the mormons, the whisky men and other jocn forces. Washington, Dec. 16. "A big combin ation which proposes to run this congress," says the National Republican, "is male up of Claus Spreekals, the Mormon church, men who want $10,000,000 for improving the Mississippi river, and whisky men who want the bonded period extea led . No one of them is strong enough alone to carry a point, but if they are united, and thats what they propose to be, they are likely to win everything. Claud Spreckels has plen ty of money, aud he don't intend to h ive the source of it cut off. "The people know all about the M arm tin the men who are putting good United States money into Mississippi river sand, and the men who make whisky and want to make more money out of it, bnt they don't know much about Spreckels' business. The reciproacity treaty went into effect eight yeara ago. There were 17,338,000 pounds of sugar, worth $939,000, sent from the Hawatian islands to the United States before that treaty went into eifejt. Last year the import? had increased to 114,- 113,000 pounds, valued at $7,340,000. Spreckels raises and owns all the sugar on the Hawatian islands. He has imported free of duty during the last year, 4.S,883,- 000 pounds, worth $30,214,000. He has had a monopoly of the trade, and has made, in the saving of duties alone, not less than ?3,O0C.OPO a year. This does not represent his actual profits, because he has made the price of sugar higher in San Francisco than it is in New York. This he has done by driving out all competition with cheaper labor of the Sandwich islands, and freedom from duty. He can undersell everything, and did so untill every one of his competitors was forced to quit the busi ness. He pays Pacific railroads a yearly subsidy, upon condition that they will fix freight rates on sugar at such figure that are prohibatory upon all importations from the east. GREAT BRITAIN SAYS o'DONNELL MUST HANG. Washington, Dec. 16. On Tuesday last Secretary Ferlinghuysen telegraphed Minister Lowell, stating that the house of repreaenatives had brought the case of O'Donnell to the president's notice, in the hope that the latter might secure a reasona ble delay of the execution of the sentence, and ascertain whether the prisoner was an American citizen and whether there was any error in the trial. In this telegram Lowell was instructed as follows: " As be fore instructed, you will consider O'Don nell's citizenship as established. There being in Great Britain no judicial examina tion for an appeal from the proceedings at a criminal trial it is possible that errors can only be corrected through a new trial or executive action upon the sentance. Therefore this government is anxious that such careful examination be given the pro ceedings of this case as to discover an error, should one have been committed. You are therefoie directed by the president to re quest a delay of ; the execution of the sen tance, and that a careful examination of the case be made by her majesty's government, andj that prisoner's counsel be premitted to present any alleged points of error." Secretary Ferlinghuysen is now in receipt of a telegram from Mr. Lowell, who states that on the 12th he received the above tei gram. and immediately communicated its substance to Lord Granville, who acknowl edged the receipt, and stated that it would be re 'erred to the proper authorities. Also that on Saturday, the 15th in at., Lowell re ceived Lord Granville's reply, in which the latter, after referring to Lowell's communi cation, stated that counsel for O'Donnell, having submitted such representations as he thought advisable, on the prisoner's be half, these representations and all other circumstances of the case had been carefully examined and considered, in the manner usual in case of capital conviction, and that her majesty's government had fonnd no grounds upo;. which it would be justified in advising the crown to interfere with the sentence of the law or its execution. PACIF'C COAST. Mormon Women at Work; Salt Lake. Dec. 13. A larg6 force of Mormon woman are going f om house to house with a subscription paper. It con tains the names for amounts from 25 cents up to $10. The object of the subscription is to obtain the the necessary means to thwart the enemies in their efforts to over throw the Mormon people. Great care is taken to visit only Mormon homes. One canvasser said the intention was te raise means to employ ten first class lawyers to work for the interest of the people. Going to Arizona. Salt Lake, Dec. 14. A party of twenty Mormons start to-morrow for Salt river, Arizona, being ordered there by the Mor mon authorities to found a new settlement. The Dead Congressman Attacked. Salt Lake, Dec. 18. The church organ to-night bitterly attacks the dead congress man, Haskell of Kansas. It claims his death was the judgment of God on him, for opposing this people, and hopes he will meet forgiveness for his opposition to the Mormons. San Francisco, Dec. 18. It was re ported to-day among railroad men that the differences heretofore existing between eas tern lines connecting at Omaha were about to be co m batted by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, irrespective of any agreement or pool recently formed, it is stated m this connection that, with a view of fortify ing themselves on the coast, the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy had purchased the the South Pacific Coast railroad, and would assume control on the 1st of January. The rumor appear to be well founded, as neither President Davis of the latter road nor T. D. McKay of the Chicago, Burling-1 ton and Quincy could be induced either to j affirm or deny it. It has been previously announced in the Oregonian that Villa. d was at one time negotiating for it3 purchase, but for some reason or other the sale fell through. arranging for the republican conven tion. Washington, Dec. 17.

Elkins of New Mexico. democratic caucus. Washington, Dec 17. - Democratic sen ators held a caucus this afternoon, and decided to nominate the democratic officers of the senate nominated at the caucus two years ago. It is understood on democratic authority that this does not mean a fight against the republican nominees. The democrats will content themselves with simply voting for their own candidates, and will not resort to any dilatory tacties to prevent the election of republicans. RETURNED FROM PORTLAND. Washington, Dec. 17. Superintendent James of the railway mail service has re turned from Portland, Oregon, and points on the line of the Northern Pacific railroad.
