Tho fireman was killed and another
trainhand injured by a collision of two
faHt freight trains near Lungtry, Tex.
The Yreka Htugo was robbed near
Yreka, Cal., by a lone liiyhwaymsn.
The pasHeniiers wore not molested, and
the express box which was broken open
by the highwayman, contained only
J50.
The members of the Washington
state board of horticulture which met
in Tacoma recently say that the reports
of damage to fruit trees by the severe
cold weather last winter are greatly ex
aggerated. . An abundant yield is now
predicted.
Answering a question regarding the
prospuuts oi the government sending
out invitations for a bimetallic confer
ence, Mr. Balfourrl'iterated, in the
hoiiso of commons, that there was
nothing in tho situation which would
lead him to suppose that anything
could bo gained by Great Britain tak
ing tho initiative in promoting an in
ternational bimetallio conference.
The steamer Edith, chartered by the
Alaska Steamship Company to take
passengers and freight from tho wrecked
AV'illapa to Juneau and Dyea, has re
turned to Port Townsend. The Wil
lapa is reported as being a total wreck.
Her hull broke on the rocks and sanK to
the bottom of the sea. Tho loss on
the Willupa and cargo is estimated at
$00,000; insurance on the boat, $38,
O00. Representative Tongue of Oregon is
making an effort to have anthracite
coal placed on the dutiable list, because
it comes in competition with the coal
produced in Oregon and Washington.
Ho prepared and had circulated a peti
tion to tho finance committee of the
satiate, asking that this be done, and
Betting forth tho reasons. This peti
tion was signed by nearly all the Pa
cific coast senators.
Tho followiig proclamation has been
issued by tho Greek irregularB, who
have begun tho invasion of Macedonia
at lialtino: "Brothers and Soldiers of
Christ and Liberty: We hoist the flag
of liberty, tho Greek flag. Under its
shadows let us unite, with the watch
word, 'Liberty or Death.' Tho justico
of our cause is recognized by all free
peoplo blessed by God. Let us push
onward, brother Greeks; God is with
us."
By a collision between two passenger
trains at llarrisburg, N. C, three men
were killed outright and several others
neriously injured.
O. B. Bellinger, United States dis
trict judge for Oregon, has been ap
pointed by Governor Lord a member of
the board of regents of tho state Uni
versity at Eugene.
Tho Heldugeblatt, tho Dutch news
paper of Cape Town, declares that lead
ing officials of tho Transvaal speak
openly of war with England as inevit
able, and aver that it will be carried
right up to Table bay.
A dispatch from .Montevideo states
that a serious engagement lias occurred
between the federal troops under Colonel
Casalia and tho insurgents near Minus.
The federals are said to have been, de
feated. Tho insurgents have captured
the town of Sarandi del Yi.
Hot winds have taken the snow from
tho mountains above Pendleton, Or.,
and tho Umatilla river is up to as high
a stage as at any time this spring.
Part of the railroad bridge above town
lias gone out, compelling the abandon
ment of the branch line between there
and Walla Walla. The water is still
rising, and promises to do more damage.
Fire greatly damaged the dwelling
house occupied by .lames Jackson, a rel
ative of President Andrew Jackson, and
inheritor of the relics of the deceased
president, at Clifton, O. Among tho
relics was General Jackson's carriugo,
the wheels of which were made of tim
ber from the old war frigate Constitu
tion. The carriage was destroyed along
with many other relics, valued at $10,
000. Tho Turkish iHrti in a protest to
the powers against Greek invasion, savs
that the regular Greek army oecupied
Turkish territory near Grovuo and com
mitted acts of hostility by destroying
three posts. The protest further de
clares that these acts virtually consti
tute an act of aggression and a casus
belli, and denounces Greece as an ag
gressor in the war.
A Salt Lake paper prints what is
claimed to be a confession by .1. W.
Fotzer, who is under arrest at Dillon,
Mont., in which he says he killed Dr.
I'. 11. Nichols, superintendent of tho
insane asylum at Washington in 1ST3.
He says he has ten or fifteen other vic
tims, but will not plead gmltv unless
he can get a death sentence. ' Fctzer
was arrested last week in Salt Lake and
turned over to Montana authorities,
barged with swindling the statu.
INVADERS CHECKED.
fireek Irri'KUliirs Tlefeuted by the Turks
Ht Kranla.
Larissa, April 10. Severe fighting
has occurred in Macedonia between the
Greek irregulars and the Turkish
forces. A column of irregulars sent to
the right from Pitgravitzo, 'after hav
ing attacked and captured Sitovon, con
tinued its advance toward Kritudes,
Phisia and Kouruzi, with orders to
hold Kouruzi at all costs, as it com
mands the right approach to Grevno,
the objective point.
This column, commanded by Chiefs
Zemins and Luzzo, attacked Kritudes
on Friday. The place was defended by
two companies of Turks. After a se
vere fight, during which eighty Turks
were killed and twenty-five'taken pris
oners, the position was captured by the
Greeks, who also obtained possession
of 1. 100 rifles and a quantity of cart
rigdes. The insurgents, however, have suf
ered a severe check in another direc-
! tion. A strong force of Turkish troops
from Macovon, with a number of
mountain guns, advanced on Krania,
which had recently been captured by
the Greeks, and attacked 400 irregulars
of Greece, who occupied an intrenched
position. It is reported the fighting
was ieroeinus on both sides. The in
surgents eventually were compelled to
retreat north to the mountains. Some,
however, succeeded in breaking through
the Turkish lines and escaped to Bal
tino, just across the frontier in Mace
donia, first captured by the Greek ir
regulars and used by them as a depot
for provisions and ammunition.
Accounts given by refugees ot Turk
ish losses are believed to be exaggerat
ed. They say 205 Turks were killed,
w hile the irregulars only had eight men
killed and seventeen wounded. Tho
leader of the Greeks operating in that
direction, Chief Miliums, was among
tho wounded; and returned into Greek
territory with a number of refugees.
One of the latter says a portion of the
Turkish force is composed of irregulars
whose dress resembles that of the Greek
insurgents. This, it appears, enabled
the Turkish force to execute a flank
movement unheeded by tho leaders of
the Greeks. The refugee referred to
blames the Greek leaders for badly
handling the men. All the refugees
bore traces of having experienced great
fatigue,. and it is reported that Ethnike
lletairia, or the national league, has
ordered the Greek irregulars to retreat
into Greek territory, regarding further
bloodshed us useless, unless the regular
army of Greeks supports the irregulars.
AGREEMENT REACHED.
I Columbia Hirer Fishermen M ill Take
1 Four Cents a Pound.
Astoria, Or., April 19. It is now
settled that tho Columbia river packers
will not get their fish this season at
i less than 4 cents, as was anticipated.
; At a conference between a committee
; of the union, appointed for that pur
! pose, and the packers, this afternoon, it
was determined by tho former that no
I fish would bo delivered to any cannery
; for less than tho 4-cent price.
It now remains to be seen whether
the packers will pay the union rate or
shut down. The probabilities are,
; however, that it will be denied to go
ahead with tho season's pack, but an
effort will bo mado by the Cannery
men's Association to stiffen Eastern
prices so as to justify the 4-cent price
for fish.
A prominent packer is authority for
the statement that no more fish will be
offered under first-class labels after to
day at a price that will not leave a fair
margin of profit at 4 cents for raw ma
terial. It could not be learned what
action the association has determined
to take, but it is generally reported that
its members have agreed to render such
assistance to one another as will enable
the entire spring pack to be carried
over until the desired improvement
takes place in the market.
When it became generally known to
night that the impending strike had
been averted, there was great rejoicing.
When the season opened, business
experienced a sudden improvement, but
fell off again us the ugitation continued.
Great uneasiness was felt. The situ
ation, as it now stands, is all that could
be desired, and indications are bright
for a prosperous year. Tho only dis
agreeable feature of the situation is
that the Chinese have secured an
advantage over white labor. This con
dition has caused a great deal of un
favorable discussion, and is condemned
on all sides.
Several hundred boats went out to
night, the decision of the union setting
all doubts at rest. The run of salmon
continues light, but the fish is of ex
cellent quality. It is predicted by fish
experts that the run this year will bo
without precedent ill tho past ten sea
sons. Scarcity of Funds In Land Olttce.
Washington, April 1). Tho exhaus
tion of the funds appropriated for the
general land oflce is largely crippling
the work in the field, and further re
trenchment on the salary rolls was
made today. The fourteen examiners
of the office who have been investigat
ing on the Chippewa Indian lands at ft)
per day ca' h, and twelve mineral land
commissioner in Idaho and -Montana,
drawing $i,f)00 per annum each, wero
; ordered droptx-d from the tolls. The uc
tion takes effect the 20th iust.
Cubans Will Take Steps
Frustrate It.
to
M'KINLEY'S CUBAN POLICY.
An Aim-rlcan Flag Was Destroyed
by Spanish Soldiers In Santa
Clara Gen. Weyler'n Latest Order.
Philadelphia, April 19. A private
meeting of Cnhans and Cuban sympa
thizers was held in this city today, at
which it was decided to take steps to
frustrate what the Cubans claim iB tho
real object of Major Luno Sandoval's
visit to this city. This is said to be
the arrest of the members of the Cuban
junta in this country. It has been
stated that Major Sandoval came to
Philadelphia to purchase munitions of
war to be shipped in the general way to
General Weyler in Cuba. Leading
Cubans, however, assert that it is to
gather information that will culminate
in the arrest of General Estrada Palma
and General Qnesada in Washington.
The former is the minister of the Cuban
republic, and the latter charge d'affaires
at the capital. It is asserted that Major
Sandoval has 'been commissioned by
General Weyler for this express pur
pose, anil is known to have in his pos
session documents found on the steamer
Laurada on one of her trips to Cuba,
lowing the parts played by Generals
Palma and Quesada in her movements.
Should the arrest of tho junta lead
ers result, and the issue be made in
court as to the liability of such a pol
icy, there will be a question of juris
diction that will not only involve the
interstate commerce laws, but also ques
tions of belligerency and the customs
:omity of nations.
M'KINLEY'S CUBAN POLICY.
riie War Must Be Fought on Civil
ized Lines.
New York, April 19. A Tribune
lispatch from Washington says:
Tho policy of the administration in
reference to Cuba is not likely to be
criticised as waB that of its predecessor
on the score of indifference to the
rights of American citizens. Secretary
Sherman will see to it that imprison
ment of suspects entitled to the pro
tection of the United States for an in
definite period is no longer indulged in
by Spanish officials in Cuba. Ho will
eyen go further and make it plain to
the Spanish authorities that they can
not, in the closing of the 19th century,
be permitted to carry on war on princi
ples widely divergent from modern civ
ilization. In short, notice has been
served on the Spanish government
informally as yet, but still in unmis
takable terms that this government
recognizes a state of civil war on the
island of Cuba which demands a treat
ment of prisoners taken in action by
either side somewhat different from
that which seems to have been accorded
them thus far.
The immediate cause of this notice
being served on the Spanish govern
ment was, of course, the capture of
Cuban General Hivera and the rumor
that he would be forthwith tried by
drumhead court-martial and shot.
The president, immediately after the
news of the fate in store for the pris
oner was received, ordered the secretary
to draw up a protest against the con
templated action of General Weyler.
Upon second consideartion, however,
the protest took a less formal shape.
Instead of being diverted to the Spanish
minister in writing, Senor de Louie was
Bent for by the secretary of state and
informed as to the views of the admin
istration in the matter. This protest,
it is assumed, was no less explicit than
that w hich Secretary Sherman had pre
viously drafted. At any rute it had its
effect, for General Kivera is still living.
TORE UP AN AMERICAN FLAG.
An Outrage by Spnnlsh Soldiers In
Santa Clnra.
New York, April 19. A Herald dis
patch from Sugua Grande via Key West
says u report has just reached there of
an outrage perpetrated near the town
of Encireujada, by Spanish troops, who
destroyed the property owned by the
wife of the British vice-consul, Mr.
Harris, of Sugua Grande, and toro up
an American flag which the manager
of the estate, George Harris, who is 'an
American citizen, had draped over his
bed.
The estate of Mrs. Harris, called La
Palma, is about two miles from Eneir
crujudu. The troops broke open tho
doors and removed articles of value.
Finding the flag in the manager's bed
room, the soldiers carried it out with
many epithets and tore it into bits.
Being satisfied with their vengeance oil
the bit of bunting, in tho absence of
its owner, they departed.
The matter was reported to Mr. Hur
ris on his return, and he promptly laid
it before the British and American
consular officials in Sugua, who will
cause a thorough investigation.
It is said the Spanish assert that
they had seen insurgents leaving the
estate, but this is denied by the mana
ger. The American consul at Sagua
his friends siy, will make a full report
on the flag incident, lie is Mr. Bar
ker, one of the most vigorous American
representatives on the island.
I First Mexican Woman Doctor.
Miss Columbia Hivera, the first
' woman in Mexico to be licensed us a
' practicing physician, has been appoint
' ed to the women's ward of San Andres
Hospital. Miss Kivera has studied
medicine for four years, passing her
examinations with great credit.
RATTLED.
To make a mad dog to order, tie a tin pan
to his tail. A man made mad is one who,
' after suffering 10, 15 or 20 years with rheu
! mutism, rinds that by the use of a bottle of
' St. Jacobs Oil he is cured, lie feels the
waste of his life in pain, w ith the loss of
time, place and nionev, and then re lects
thut for the expense oi'SOc. he could have
t saved all this and lived free of pain; it is
' enough to make him mad. Most of our suf-
ferings are intensiiied by delay in seeking
relief, and there is much worth knowing as
I regards the cure of pain that we lind out at
lust only by the use of the best cure. It is
worth knowing that for the cure of rheu
matism there is a special virtue in The
Great Remedy for Pain, St. Jacobs Oil, and
ns so much can be saved by its use, the cost
is reully nothing.
A fire was fought in New Jersey re
cently, by pumping from wine vats.
The loss by fire was $2,000, and it took
$5,000 worth of wine to quench it.
A CARPENTEf? SPENDS MANY
MONTHS IN BED PHYSICIANS
DO HIM LITTLE GOOD.
PARALYSIS CAME FKOM A FALL.
From the Express, Los Angeles, California.
Just think of a busy, hardworking
man paralyzed in the midst of his ca
reer, and rendered useless.
That was the misfortune that befell
James A. Jones, of 1002 Alpine street,
Los Angeles, Cal., in September, 1801.
Mr. Jones was born in the state where
many of the presidents come from
Ohio, but spent the greater part of his
life during his younger years in Iowa,
from which place he went to Colorado,
and in 1882 came to Los Angeles. It
was a small place then, before the
boom came along and pushed us for
ward a century in the road of progress,
and Mr. Jones followed his occupation
of carpenter and builder. While at
work in September, 189, he received a
fall which jarred him considerably and
he became confined to his bed. Shortly
after he lost the use of the lower part
of his body entirely, and his legs be
came a dead weight. A plaster cast
was put upon him by the doctors and
they worked over him and did all
things possiblo to assist his recovery.
But ho remained in the same condition.
In April, 1893, he began to take Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People.
The following June ho noticed that he
could move his toes, and July 4, 1898,
he got up out of bed and later in the
month was able to walk without
crutches. Shortly after, still continu
ing the pills he went to work at his
trade at Whittier's, where he sustained
a fall and again injured himself and
had to go to bed and the dread paraly
sis came on again. Again the doctors
worked with him but without relief,
and he once more began to take Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills. The doctors had
given him bromides and iodides, but
without effect. Again the pills drove
the paralysis into the background. He
said "I took them in accordance with
directions, and in connection with tho
use of cold sponge baths, found they
were exceedingly beneficial."
Mr. Jones is now able to walk again,
and ho feels that the pills are the only
thing that has done him any good. In
this connection he said: "The doctors
who have treated me have done every
thing in their power, but without
effect, and it does seem marvelous that
paralysis should be overcome by these
little pills. But that has been my ex
perience. If anyone doubts it let him
write to mo or come and see me and I
will tell them the story."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in
a condensed form, all the elements nec
essary to give new life and richness to
the blood and restore shattered nerves.
They are an unfailing specific for such
diseases as locomotor utaxia, partial
paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica,
neuraliga, rheumatism, nervous head
ache, the after effect of la grippe, pal
pitation of tho heart, pale and sallow
complexion, all forms of weakness
either in male or female. Pink Pills
are sold by all dqalers, or will be sent
postpaid on receipt of price, 50 cents a
box or six boxes for $2.50 (they are
never Fold in bulk or by tho 100), by
addressing Dr. Williams' Medicine
Company, Schenectadv, N. Y.
