The Parliament buildings at Que bee were burned last week. The origin of the fire is a matter of mys tery m when it was first discovered half the main building was in flamer. It is announced that a government signal station is to be established on. the top.ot Mount NY Intney. A gov. ernment surveying party is- to 1 sent out this summer to make the neeeisorj surveys for that purpose. Corvallis is agitated over the whisky question. A short time since the city council raised the license from $200 to $400. The saloon men have made the whisky question an issue in the city election, and now the question to be decide.! by the voters is "high license," er "no license;."' The great bridge- across East river connecting New York with Brooklyn is to be opened on the 24th of. May. Arrangements are being made-for an immense celebration on' the occasion in which Wm. M. Evnrts and beverrd other eminent orators are to take part. Invitations are to be extended to the President and Vice-President and all the ex-Presidents and ex-Vice-Presi-dents now living and to the governors of all the states and alt the ex govern ors and a host of other prominent pei sonngesv Nihilism seems to-hare broken-out in earnest in Canada. Rideau- Hall1,. the residence of the Marquis of Lome and' the Princess Louise is con stantly under strict guard. Private detectives ore posted at every corner and all suspicious characters are shadowed. It was reported that some unknown person had fired four shots at one of the policeman on, guard- at the Hall but the report was subse quently denied. Many threatening letters are received by the Marquis and he is said to be suffering from nervous excitement.

' Not withstanding the fact that he is prob ably the strongest candidate that could be selected, there is very little proba bility that the movement will be success ful. Senator Sherman is not likely to look kindly upon any, arrangement which will result in' reducing li'm in the ranks. As-a&eoatar, he is not only . lnglrer in position, but is secure in a. longer term-of offi.ee;, not to mention the fatigue and anxiety incident to a campaign ,a.as gubernatorial candidate, or to take into account the uncertain ties of the final result.

The message which Uroperor- W-ilN iam recently sent to t"he germ an rcich. stag recommending legislation in the interst of the working.olasses, excite's more interest than the subject it self would seem to wrrant It .is be lieved, both in Europe and in this country, that the scheme thus marked out by the Emperor conceals a deeply laid, and well matured plan for increas ing his army, and, laying the founda tions for a military, campaign against France. The present precarious and unsettled state of the Trench govern ment at home and her -complications abroad,, are. likely to prove too,great a temptation to that wily old warrior. "B-sides, the manifest disquietude and discontent of the. german people under tile iron hand of. the Emperor may well bo accepted as the early stages of the nihilistic fever.. To cute, or at least suppress, this disease-and at the same time enlarge his possessions and add to his glory is a temptation which a man of Emperor William's inclinations could not be expect to re- The followingletter from Hepresen tative George was received- by. a. prom inent gentleman of tilts place and is furnished for publication in answer to the charge preverred by the Lake County "Examiner" which we re pub lished two weeks ago: Portland, Or., April 17, 1883. My Dear Sir. I have-the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your fa vor of the 15th enclosing, a. slip from a Democratic paper which Htules that "serious charges'" have been made against me. It says that a petition was sent lo'Bie- and bigned by nearly all the settlers in the vicinity of tlie Klamath Agency, asking for the ap pointment of O. C. Applegate as Agpnt, and. making some very serious charges against Agent Nickerson; and. that the.se- petitions were suppressed by me and were never seen by the commis sioner of Indian Affairs The grave offence therein- charged is, willful sup piesbion of these papers by me in order to secure Mr. Nickerson's re appoint ment over Capt. Applpgate. In the first place I never received any petition referred to contacting any charge againxt Mr. Nrcker.on. In the ecund plnce I hove-aever been driven to such eon romp' ibl expedients as Mpprv!uu: luiytliin that should be known Kien-if"! lmd been so mean, in order to secure favorable coiisioitraiiou of any. desire I niislit have in tlif way of such appointments. la the third place the gentleman named were equally my friends; and lastly all the information voluntarily came from me from, which the abwve charge of "sup pression" is fabricated. The facts were that this Department without my knowledge re-appoined Mr. Nicker son upon its own. motion, some weeks before such appointments are usually made, and without my filing any of the applications or endorsements of six or seven of the worthy applicants in eluding that of Capt. Applegnte and of Mr. Nickerson- himself who had en closed their applications to me for my consideration in order to- secure my recommendation. These papers were underadVisement and awaiting an expression from our senator-elect Mr. Dolph, preparatory to action, when I was surprised by the appointment being sent to the Senate. Contrary to usage I was not cilled up on for advice. As soon as I saw the appointment I went to the Depirtment and enquired why it had' been made without any recommendations from cither Mr. Dolph or myself. Their an swer was not very satisfactory or clear but it was to the effect that as they were making out some other appoint ments for agents, and as the time for another appointment at Klamath would soon arrive, and Mr. Nickerson'p record being good in the Department, and believing, as he had held his office for two years without protest from me as 'the Representative from Oregon,, and. as I had exercised confidence in him in the past in several matters of official interest, that therefore his re appoint ment would be satisfactory tbey had sent it in, as they also did in the same, manner about tliat time tlie appoint ment of Capt. John Smith of the Warm Spring Agency. Another instance-of laxity on the part of this Indian De partment will be remembered as that of the selection of an Ohio man for ngent at Umatilla which, was a liti le more than I could stand', anil therefore, on my protest, was reca'led and an Ore gon man appointed. As Mr. Niuker son, however, has long-bean anintimale acquaintance, and more especially had been the officiating minister at my wedding I did not propose to "go back on lheT preacher" and interposed no objection to Mr. Nickersou's nor to Capt. Smithes confirmation. At my own instance I immediately wrote these facts to nearlv, if not quite, all the ap plicants and thus it became known that all their petitions received by me were still In my hands. That I intentionally retained any of their papers to secure Mr. Hiekerson's appointment, who was no more my fiiend than any of the othrr applicantc,. or. suppressed any- thin;: ajzainnt linn or m f.ivor or auv one else, is utterly false In -every par ticular. I never had any thought or idea of the Department wilding in the appointment of Mr Uic1;ersoniGr any one else until some time there after, and not until they had- called upon me as was the. almost invariable practice of the various Departments. I am not aware that any of the parties concerned) hava been ascjieved'over tills matter and if the Democratic wrath altot'p alluded' to can only Ire made lo hol'd' itself Si' weace and patience all will douHtlesR b well. Thanking you. for calling my atten tion.to-.tlm "cbnree"rhave the honor to remain.. Yours vpry truly M. C." George. It woulift appear- impossible for Mr. George's most partial friends- to- read this letter without being strongly for his failure to file them with the proper department. These petitions, our Representative will remember, were not'addressed to him, but to the Secretary of the Literior;and the right of the petitioners to have them present ed to that officer will not, we presume, be seriously questioned.by any one. It is usual for such petitions to be sent to the-Representative on Senator. rep-, resenting the state or district where tlie app'icant rusides, partly of course, with a hope of securing his assistance; but partly too, as a matter of courtesy and convenience. But no one, we be lieve, ever supposed that on this ac count the prayer of the petitioners is designed for the person, to- whom it is thus sent, or for any one, except the person to whom it is addressed. The Representative or Senator in such a case is, if the expression be perwissablr, the agent of the petitioner. And as such, it would seem plainly his duty either to file the petition as soon as possible, or to return it at once to the petftioner. The- fact that, as- appears in this cafe, the agent knows there is no possi-'jility for the applicant to suc ceed, cannot, we apprehend, affect his obligations te-a-Surd iheapplicant aufair chance-to-try his fostuuein the doubt ful firld of official preferment. The extent of Mr. George's influence at the Capital, as suggested! in this letter, seems to be such as to greatly discaur rngef not entirely extinguish, the hope of any applicant,, so unfortunate as to fail of securing a share- of his- favor. But hilosuch is the case, the satis faction which it no doubt affords him, should' not bo permitted to obscure the fact that the-extent of his influence has heretofore- icen, to some extent, antirown- among the-ppoplep and that hence it might happen that some appli cant might presume to pursue hu hope under the encouragement of other in fluences. It is beyond1 our purpose to impugn the motiveof Mr. George inthi matter, nor, be it distinctly understood', are we finding any fault with him for not endorsing any ono of the many petitions presented to him. That was a matter with which; whatever might have been our preference, we have nothing to do here. His right to pre fer Mr. Nickerson above all his other friends, and to use his influence, if that were necessary, to secure his appoint ment, will bo denied by no-one. The policy of such a course is nothing to the- present purpose. It cannot however, be denied that, under the cir cumstances,, the appointment of some one for whom his preference was less pronounced, would have greatly modi fie"d the present embirrassmem. But what the above letter does seem to suggest is, that Mr. George has been laboring under a serious luixapprehen sion of his duty with reference to the several petitions which were presented for tlie Klamallv appointment. It was for him, and him alone, to say which, if any, of the petitions hu would en dorse. This he might, if he chose, de cida upon the generous impulse of dis interested friendship, and under the in fluence of- the happy recollections-with which that friendship, was associated. But it was not for him, upon his own motion, to' pigeon-hole the petitions upon any reason, or for a single-day. That he did .so, is as unfortunate as it is undisputed; but the well earned and widely known reputation of our Kepre 8ntative will go very far,at least.in the mind; of eieryone, to exculpate him from any more serious charge than that of the commission of a grievous. and palpable error. And. as between the alternatives of such. an. error, inducedi perhaps- by an over indulg ence in- an rxagerated estimate of the importance- of his present pow er, and of designing and intentional dis honestyv the unbiased judgment of ev-rry one must unhesitatingly pro nounce in favor of the former.. alzrayz Cnros oad never filsop pobito.
