business will justify, we will build
branches to both Eugene and Salem.
As to the eastern extension, we will
build that also as fast as business
will justify, and expect eventually to
connect with one of the through East
ern lines. I was told In Portland that
the eastern end of the road did not
amount to much, but Instead of such
being the case, I can say truthfully
that no railroad of the same length In
the United States or elsewhere offers
so much tonnage in sight as does that
part of the Oregon Pacific between
Albany and its present eastern termi
nus." "There Is in the timber region up
the Santiam nine or ten billion feet
of timber. There Is a great lumber
industry to be developed there, and
it is part of our plan to undertake
this, which will require better wharf
age at San Francisco and the charter
ing of a line of steam schooners from
Yaquina. We have abundant capi
tal to carry out our plans, but cannot
go on with them except in a limited
way until the appeal case is settled.
We expect to build to some each year
until we finally carry out our plan
for the eastern connection. I have
had reports from Eastern Oregon and
realize that great traffic across 'the
mountains awaits the advent of a rail
road." SETTLING R. R. LANDS.

The Gazette has positive information
that the mint shortage amounts to
about $80,000 and covers a period of
about five years, running back to the
time that 'S. C. Wright was superin

appointed super! ntenderat at the time
of Wright's death, in the summer of
1892. The shortage continued through

after telling him never t return; Mills
has a family and has lived at Wallace

SAN FRANCISCO, April 6. A po
litical club is being formed in this
city by several Chinese who have the
right to vote and the bosses behind it
expect to make it several hundred
strong by next election. Ng. Gun and
Leon Chung, two native born Chin
ese, have established headquarters on
Clay street, where they have installed
a political dub under the guise of
Native Sons' Parlor. On the door is
a i sign reading: "Chinese Native

This club numbers at present about
50 members and there Is said to be
2,000 American born Chinese here
that are entitled to vote and who will
join the club. About 50 Chinese voted
at the last election. Practical politi
cians are scheming as to the possibil
ity of buying Chinese votes In blocks
of two thousand and utilizing them
in a manner that will overthrow any
majority that white American citi
zens may give candidates.

FAVORING ARBITRATION.
President Cleveland Believes in Ami

Washington, April 6. Baron Rio
IBranco and General Gerquire, special
Brazilian plenipotentiaries who rep-
the arbitration of the mission's boun
dary contention with the Argentine
Republic, presented their letters of
recall to President Cleveland today
and said farewell. While the spe3ches
exchanged were rather out of the
usual order, in view of the character
of missions, the remarks of the presi
dent in response to Baron Rio Branco,
who acted as spokesman for the Bra
zilians, were significant where they
touched on arbitration, having in
mind the efforts now being made to
induce Great Britain to submit her
boundary dispute with Venezuela to
this method of settlement. To . the
thanks of the plenipotentiaries the
president said: . . .
"The United States have long and
earnestly advocated a resort to inter
national arbitration in the settlement
of difficulties which may not be amen
able to the ordinary methods of diplo
matic treatment, and especially the
adjustment of controversies depend
ing largely upon historical facts, and
determinable upon competent evidence
and Tinder (the rules accessory (to
those which obtain in judicial pro
cedure. Tending their example as
they have done on many occasions,
by themselves resorting to this honor
able and humane form, the United
States, through its chief magistrate,
could do no less than give its assist
ance to other friendly states In fur
thering like disposition of controver
sies arising between them, and hence
was not alone gratification and
pleasure to me to assume the grave
personal responsibility tendered to me
by Brazil and Argentine Republic,
there was also In a high sense the
fulfillment of the international duty
toward two friendly states, which it
behooves the president of the United
States to perform In the Interest of
good relationship of the western hem
isphere." ON SHILOH'S BATTLE FIELD.

of the democracy of the state on new
lines and with new leaders. He says
he is ready to take a back seat and
thinks the officers of the state demo

partment no significance attaches to
the change.

BABY IN A TEN-INCH WELL.
Paris, Tex., March 8. The 18-
months-old child of Bill Gee, a farmer
living near Tigertown, had a terrible
experience on Tuesday evening. A
10-inch bored well had just reacneu
deDth of twenty-nine feet, being
near the house, when the little one
went out alone to investigate, home
how he managed to fall in feet first
and was impaled upon the end of the
boring machinery, a part or wmcn
was yet in the well. The frantic
mother was a witness to the horror,
and Immediately gave the alarm.
The child could not be gotten out or
the hole, so the neighbors were all
summoned, and some eighty of them
went to work digging a great square
hole near the well. This being com
pleted to a depth on a level with the
child, a tunnel was maae irom me
hole to the well, and the child res
cued, after being in its perilous con
dition for twenty-three hours. Its
plaintive cries: "Mamma! mamma,
come take me out!" were heartrend
ing. The child will recover. Galves

The Income Tax Law Is
Assailed.

Condemned.
Justice Field Is Very Severe in His
Arraignment of Its Uncon
stitutional Character.
Washington, April 8. The anxious
ly awaited decision of the United
States supreme court on the lncom
tax case was rendered today by Chief
Justice Fuller. The court knocked out
the law as far as it taxes incomes
derived from rents and also from
state, county and municipal bonds.
By a tie vote of the court the law was
sustained in other respects.
Justices Field, Harlan and White
dissented from Chief Justice Miller.
Justice Field said: "I am of the opin
ion that the whole law of 1894 is null
and void." Justice White favored up
holding the whole law.
Justice Field, the oldest member of
the court In the dissenting opinion,
said:
"The Income tax law under oonsld
eration is marked by dlaeriimtnaiting
features which affect the whole law.
It discriminates between those who re
ceive an Income of $4,000 and thos
w!ho do not. It thus vitiates,-in my
judgment by this arbitrary dlBorimi
nation, the whole legislation. When
ever a distinction is mlade in the bur
dens a law Imposes or the benefits it
confers on any citizen by any reason
of their birth, wealth, or religion. It
is class legislation and leads inevitably
to oppression and abuse, and to a gen
oral unrest and disturbance in society.
It is hoped and believed that the great
amendments to the constitution which

consideration. It Is the same In essen
tial character as the English statute
of 1681 Whidh taxed Protestants at a.
certain rate, Catholics as a class at'
double the rate of Protestants, and
Jews at another and separate rate."
The effect of all the opinions deliv
ered Is to show that the court was
unanimous In the opinion that the law .
is unconstitutional as to municipal
and state bonds, that Chief Justice
Fuller and Justices Field, Gray, Brew
er, Brown and Shiras hold It to be
invalid on incomes derived from rents,
and Justices Harlan and White dis
sented from this opinion as to rents.
It is impossible to state the exact au
vision as to the validity of other parts
of the law further than was disclosed
by the proceedings.
It appears quite clear that Chief Jus
tice Fuller and Justices Harlan and
White voted to sustain the other parts
of the law and the best opinion obtain
able is that Justice Brown stood with
them In this question, which would
leave Justices Field, Gray, Brewer
and Shiras as the opponents of the
law as a whole.

In Nevada, Harney county, Oregon, or
that portion of California lying east
of the Sierras. Last year at this time
there were fully 5,000 head seeking
