A remarkable tale of an escape from
a terrible death is brought from Falls
City, Oregon. Little Archie Montgom
ery fell into the slab chute oi the mill.
He shot dow n fhe chute 100 feet, nnd
was hurled through the air a distance of
50 feet before lighting. Strange to relate,
he was not dashed to pieces, but craw led
back 10 or 12 feet U iore lu ing rescued.
Aside from several bruits, he was none
the worse for the accident. A heavy
man would have b -en killed outright.
Friday afternoon J. C. Harmon, a car
repairer, while working under a car at
Grants Pass, had a leg cut off at the
knee joint. A train was switching in
the yards and left four cars on a si. ling.
Harmon thought the train had gone and
crawled under the rear car to do s. me
repair work. The traiu, unnoticed,
backed into cars, which ran over and
smashed his leg. It is doubtful if Har
mon will recover. He was an old em
ploye in his line of work.

Washington, June 27. At the cabinet mcetiug today
it was agreed toissuea proclamation of amnesty for all po
litical prisoners in the Philippines to take effect on the
Fourth of July. It includes Aguiualdo and all others like
him.
DEWEY'S ACCOUNT DISTRUSTED AGUINALDO
Washington, June 27. Resuming his testimony this
morning before the Senate committee on the Philippine?,
dmiral Dewey gave further details regarding the arrange
ment he had with the Governor General for the surrender
of Manila just as soon as the American troops arrived to
ake possession. He aays he fired a few shots at Fort Ma
ate and then signalled the Spaniards asking them if they
urrendered. A few seconds later a white flag was hoisted
by the enemy. It was fully understood among the squad
ron that there was to be no resistance by the city. He con-
iuued all his preparations for battle, however, as neither
le nor General Merritt trusted the Spaniards. Continuing
Admiral Dewey gave it as his opiuion that Aguiualdo went
to Manila for the sole purpose of gaiu for toot and money.
CORONATION TO OCCUR IN EAULY AUTUMN.
IiONPOX, June 27. From an equally authoritative
source, the Associated Press learns that the King reads and
converses continually with the Queen and the Prince and
Mncess of Wales. All that the doctors insist is that he
shall not discuss matters requiring careful weighing. The
government officials expect possibly within a week to fix
the approximate date of the coronation, which, will proba
bly occur early in the Autumn.
PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE
Senator R. A. Booth is Mentioned as

The Portland Telegram, in mentioning
candidates for president of' the m-xt
Oreoou senate, fays :
"While Lis district consists of - Lane,
Josephine and Douglas, the nominal re?i
ilence of Senator Robert A. Booth is at
Grants Pass. His career in Oie legisla
ture is declared to be a credit to himself
and the rty. One thing is certain.
Senator liootn is a popu'ar man, and if
it came to a long-drawn-out fUht lie
would pro.iably stand the best show of
carrying off the capital prize. This is
consider d as tbela-t year Booth will be
in politics, as bis lumber interests are !o
extensive that it will soon reouire the
undivided alteutiou of his jartters oud
himself."

Pittsburg, June 27. All the unskilled employees of
the Carnegie Steel Compauy, nearly 15,000, have had then
wages voluntarily increased 10 per cent. This will make
the wages of the lowest laborer 1.65 a day.
CHINESE COMMIT MORE DEPREDATIONS
Pkkin, Juue 27. The Viceroy of the Proviuce ofSzeh-
Chuau has notified the Government that the American and
British mission buildings at Tien Ku Choa have been de-
troyed by a mob and that amissiouary has been murdered.
His name and nationality were .'not reported. An imperial
edict just issued deprives the local magistrate of Tien Ku
Chao of his rank and orders the extermination of the rio
ters. Several of the leaders of the outbreak are reported
to have been beheaded. Apparently this was an anti-in
demnity riot, like those which have occurred elsewhere in
China.
SUING SOUTHERN PACIFIC.

as administratrix of the estate of William H. White, against
the Southern Pacific Company for 5000 for the death of
her husband, while iu the employ of the company as an en
gineer, was taken up before Judge Bellinger, in the United
States Court, this morning. " Mr. White was killed in Mar
ion county in December, in an accident alleged to have
been due to the spreading of the rails, and an effort to set-
tie the matter out of court in a satisiactorv manner was
not a success.

Xrw York. June 27. A cable to the
World from loudon says: Everyls.ly'e
thoughts are turning to the Trince of
Wales. " Wh..t manner of man is our
future King?"' the British are aking.
The nece?si:y for the .U. Mi..ri tells its
own tale.
The Prince of WaVs is a negative, un
interesting character, who ha never
made any impression on public senti
ment, lie is alike insignificant in ap-jH-arance.
mind and ambition, lie lack
entirely the gei.iality, tact and kindli
ness of his father. He never has hown
a marked I arsioii for anything except
st:mp collecting and ti-hing.
lie has avoided taking the social lead
his position as Prince of Wales give
him. He heads no set. He is dull and
rather shy and retiring in soe'ety.
When he attend.' functions is is o mani
festly a disagreeable duty that his
presen.ee acts a a damper. Unlike the
King who loved to enjoy i;i:n.?U and see
every one bright and gay around him,
the Prince is Mibject to fit of intense
depression, when he is unapproachable.
With the familv historv of insanity iu
his mind, the increasing ireo,ucncy 0f
these attacks have caused 1.4s circle no
small concern. He is said to entertain
gre..t contempt fr the Ring s tnuates,
esecially the plutocrats, whom lie lot.
no opportunity in snubbing.
He cares nothing for the arts, the
drama or literature. He has inherited
is mothers obstinacy about trifles, and
resemble! the late I'uke ofEduburgh
n bis liking for the wine cup.
King Kdward is known to- have the
liberal tendencies in politics and the
lumanitarian instincts of his mother.
The Prince has never shown the slight
est concern about public affair, and it
is greatly feared that he may fall nnder
(he influence of a clique of obscure Tory
aristocrats, whose company alone seems
to attract him. Under his sway the
court is expected to resume the dowdy
ish character which his father has
abolished.
