GENERAL NEWS. TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCHES, Of the past week uonaensed. t WASHINGTON NEWS. The issue of standard dollars from the mints during the week ended So7. SO, was $659,384. ' Owing to the decrease of cholera, instruc tions have been given to discontinue the set- vices of most of the sanitary inspectors of the marine hospital service attached to the United States consulate? in Europe. The inspectors at Mediterranean and Cuban ports will be retained for the present. It is said at the treasury department that there has Wen an increase instead of the usual decrease in the public debt during November. Receipts have been liglit and disbursements unusually heavy. Payments on account of pensions alone amount to 11,000,000. The department statement will not be issued until Wednesday. The financial condition of the Northern Pacific railroad is total debt, 7!,4:U,-21 1 ; capital stock, 887,610,584; total stock and debt, 8167,044,795; total assets, $167,136, 755; surplus, 891,960.

Post Says tha both Messrs. Morrison, of Illiuois, and Hand all, of Pennsylvania, are drafting tariff bills to be presented at the next meet iug of congress. Thii features of neither have been made public. The same paper Siys that w'lile the president's recominetHltt tionson t.'.c .-uliject arc not known specific ally, it i known that he will favo.- very thorough an I earnest reve:.ue reform. "(ieu. Login cannot be elected president pro tern," said a democratic leader. "He is not eligible, because he has not taken the oath of. nfiice. Section 2S of the revised statutes says the oath of office shall be ad ministered by the president of the senate to eicb eenat-r before taking his seat. Now this means that the president of the senat must be in ids chair before the new senators are sworn in, and Gen. Logan cannot be sworn in until there is a president of the senate to administer the oath. This was settled at the extra session in 1SS1. It was then decided that the president pro tem. must be elected before new senators are sworn in. Of course the republicans can elect a man temporarily, and after he has sworu in Logan, make him give way to Logan." Gov-. Squire, of Washington territory, in his "report to Secretary Lunar, gives the population of the territory at 129,438, an increase of 36,930 in two years. The assess ed value of property is $50,484,437, and there are yet 23.000,000 acres of public land unsurveyed, of which 16,000,000 are good agricultural and timber laud. The govern or states that by the territorial census of 1885 there were 3276 Chinese residents in that territory. He says the recent attacks on Chinese in that territory have grown out of the fact that Chinamen are continually coming across the border from British Co lumbia, in violation of the restriction act. The governor suggests an increased customs force on the border, a revision ot the re striction act, and the revision or abrogation of the Burlingame treaty, as necessary for the tranquility of the territory. Democratic senators object to the election of any bodv to the presidency of the senate except Senator Edmunds. They say that either Logan or Sherman would be very ob jectionable, on account of their partisan and sectional prejudices. The democrats will give their complimentary nomination to Senator Harris, of Tennessee. The fact that the senate can elect whom it pleases president pro tem. leaves it in the power of of the republican senators to elect Senator Logan before he is sworn, if they are so u clined. Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, who is authority upon the subject of rules, has looked up the point, and is clearly of the opinion that this can lie done. A few demo crats have a feeble hope that a democrat will be elected, and they expect Senator- elect Mitchell, of Oregon to vote for a demo crat, iu accordance with his alleged pledge when he got democratic vetes. Interest in the contest is increasing every day. The St. Louis cattle convention adjourned sine die, after electing T. Dewitt Smith, of Chicago, president for the coming year. It is reported in Chicago that Secretary Bayard has determined to present the Te hauutepec canal scheme to congress as the basis of a foreign policy which shall be de cidedly American. The funeral of Peter Donahue took place from St. Mary's cathedral, San Francisco. The procession was the largest ever seen on the occasion of a funeral of a private citizen. It is said in Washington that a meeting will shortly take place between Governor elect Hill, of New York, and Governor-elect r"Lee, of Virginia, at the residence of the lat ter. The object, it is stated, is to boom themselves for the presidential race in 18SS. The leading cigar manufacturers of San Francisco have signed a contract to dis charge their Chinese employes, and hire in their stead white workmen, paying the union prices of New York. An agent will be sent east to employ the necessary number of white cigarmakers. A number of prominent democrats tfirough out Washington territory have recently taken measures to secure for Hon. J. G. Thouipion the position of secretary of the teriitory. Mr. Thompson was formerly sergeant-at-arms of the United States house of representatives, and is at the present time timber agent in Washington territory. Judge Dawne, who w, s removed by Presi dent Cleveland shortly after his appoint ment, "tor cause," has disappeared from Alaska. He left Sitka on the 2nd of No vember iu an Indian canoe, and is believed to be somewhere in British Columbia. As a matter of fact, he has been seen on the Skeena river. It is said he is wanted at Portland for an unsatisfied claim of 830,000. The president has adopted a new plan in prepariug his message he seeks information from men not connected wiiu the admiuls tion. It is thought that his tariff policy will not alarm the protectionists, though the revenue reformers claim his sympathy. In regard to the silver question, it is known that he will adhere to the position taken in his letter to the silver men, which he wrote before his inaugurati m. It a evpected a so that he will recommend the removal of t ie tax on the circulation of national banlis, and ask congress to amend the banking act, so that banks can isue notes to the amount of the par value of bondl deposited to secure their circulation. In regard to interstate commerce, Senator Harris, of Tennessee, member of the com mission investigating the question is credit ed with saying that he is in favor of the establishment of a national commission, which shall have no power to fix rates, but to which any complaints concerning dis criminations could be made. Then pro ceedings against the railroads complained of could be instituted at the expense of the federal government. He was hopeful of the enactment of a law forbidding less charge for a short haul than a long one, and com pelling railways to post their rates and stick io them. He was opposed to "pools" alto gether, in which he differed from most of the committee. The chance for legislation on the subject of interstate commerce, he thought, was good. -Amending charter of Philo- sion- nevv The Work of Vigilantes. George H. Keach was hanged by vigilantes last Sunday evening, four miles south of Adams,' Oregon, in true vigilante style. He was forcibly taKen away from the offi cers who were returning to Adams with hinr. oh a warrant for horse stealing. He FOKEIGli NEWS. Rev. John Butler, of the American Pres byterian mission at Niugpo, and his eldest son, died from cholera October 11. The Bulgarians have captured Pirot. A Belgrade dispatch says: "Am armistice between Servia ami Bulgaria was concluded at 3.30 this afternoon. The cessation was brought about by efforts of Count von Khe venhulcr Metrich, Austrian minister at Bel grade. " A story is current iu the clubs of London that Gladstone has intimated to Eoad Salis bury a willingness, in the event of conserva tive success at the noils, to irive the whole liberal strength to the support of the gov ernment on "all reasonable measures, in order to prevent the necessity of yielding to the ruinous course of placing England under Irish dictation." No doubt is enter- taiued that the liberal leader's proposal, if it really has been offered, has been accept ed. The steamer Greyhound, trading between Hong Kong and Pakiiui, was recently seiz d by pirates, disguised as passengers. The captain was murdered, and the other officers were imprisoned in the held, ex cepting the chief otlieer and the assistant engineers, who were compelled to navigate the vessel. Later three junks came along side, and plunder valued at 810,000 was transferred to them from the steamer. The Chinese authorities have captured two junks containing property pirated from the Grey hound, and six men who were concerned in tue outrage. They have been taken to Can ton, where they will probably be beheaded. New Laws- The Oregon Legislature passed the follow ing laws during the last session: HOUSE BILLS PASSED.
