Governor Adams, of Colorado, has
retoed the bill regulating the manufac
ture and sale of oleomargarine passed
at the recent session of the legislature.
The veto me;sare is sensational, ns thn
governor shows in his message that the
most barefaced bribery ever attempted
was employed to secure the passage of
the bill.
At a meeting of prominent Parnell
ltes in Dublin, Ireland, a resolution
was adopted providing for the forma
tion of an independent Irish league, in
which agrarian interests are not to bo
dominant, and which will be founded
on the "broader and Bounder basis of
independent political action for tho
benefit of the whole Irish nation." The
object of tho league will be "civil and
religious liberty, and absolute inde
pendence of all alliances with any En
glish party."
The famous "hat-trimmings case,"
which indirectly invovled between 20,
000,000 and 135,000,000, and which
hag been postponed from time to time
for the past three years, has been
finally decided in favor of the govern
ment by a jury in the United States
circuit court in Philadelphia. The suit
was brought as a test case by an im
porting linn, who sought to recover
from the government a difference of 80
per cent in customs duties. The firm's
contention was that the importations
in question consisted solely of hat trim
mings, on which the duty, under the
McKinley tariff act, was only 20 per
eent, but the federal officials proved
that the merchandise was used chiefly
for dresses, and dress trimmings, on
whioh thore was a duty of 60 per cent.
A number of Japanese have loft San
Francisco for Mexico, where a colony
will be formed on land granted theui by
Uje Mexican government.
, The body of Captain Evan Davies, of
the British four-masted ship Dolcairnie,
who drowned over four months ago in
the harbor at Astoria, has been picked
op by a fisherman. The remains wore
positively identified by papers found in
the pocket.
The groat coon and varmint hunt on
Fox island, Washington, in whioh sev
eral hundred hunters participated, was
anything but a succcbs as a varmint
killing bee, though all who attended
were well satisfied, as the courtesies of
the inlanders made the outing a most
enjoyable ono.
Beth L. Milliken, representing in the
house of representatives tho third dis
trict of Maine, died at Washington.
For some time he had suffered from
serious affection of the bronchial
tubes, whioh last week developed
alarmingly, and was accompanied by
kidney and liver complications.
Bernardino Asseuro, a Mexican set
tler on tho tract of land near llollister,
t'al., claimed by a Portuguese, was
found murdered in the charred re
mains of his hut. Investigation shows
that Assenro was murdered with an ax
after which tho body was laid on tho
bed, and tho hut lired, to conceal the
crime.
The first wool of the season has been
delivered to a warehouse in Iloppnor,
Or. It is said tho wool is lighter and
of better staple and brighter than tho
clip from tho same sheep last season.
The rain has greatly delaved tho shear
ing in that section. Few sheep are be
ing sold, owners holding firmly for a
mall advance, about 10 cents a head,
more than buyers are willing to pay.
A dispatch fumt Baker City, Or.,
says that Powder river is higher than
it has ever been known to be, and is
doing great damage. Onlv one bridge

weather continues, it will go out. The
Hunipter Valley railroad is Hooded for
miles, and trains will not bo running
for weeks. The northern resilience por
tion of the city is inundated.

ANOTHER BAD BREAK.
! Mississippi I.evee filves Way. With Very
Ilis.iKtrnu llegult.
I Greenville, .Miss., April 20. There
Was another break in the levee on the
Mississippi side at Shiplaml, or "The
Promised Land" levee, at 10 o'clock
this morning, forty miles by rail south
of Greenville. The break will cover
19,000 acres of land near the flood, and ,
will add to the volume of wateralready
covering most of the lands in its vicin- i
ity. The levee is ten feet high, and
the break is fully 800 feet wide. There
was a foot on the levee when it gave j
way. The break will submerge Mayors- j
ville, the county seat of the county, a
town of 400 people. The town is situ
ated twelve miles north of the break.
From Mayorsville south to the Yazoo
river every plantation in Issaquena and
two-thirds of those in Sharkey, besides
a number of others in Yazoo and War
ren counties will be put under water
from ten to twenty feet deep.
While this section was in a largo
measure already overflowed, there wero
hundreds of farmhouses and cabins and
numerous ridges, mounds and hastily
erected scaffolds, which still afforded
protection to man and beast. Thesu
are now being rapidly abandoned, and
terror reigns.
A MILITARY ATTACHE.
General Allien Wants to Co to Cireeee to
Observe the War.
Washington, April 2(i. General
Miles has applied for permission to go
to Greece to observe the war between
that country and Turkey from a mili
tary point of view. Secretary Alger
has brought the matter to the attention
of the president. Should the order bo
mado by the president, it will be the
first time in history that the general
commanding the army has gone abroad
during actual war as a military at
tache. It is true that General Sheridan
accompanied the German army as an
attache in the war with France, but he
was not at the time of as high rank as
Goneral Miles.
Shot Two Brother.
Baker City, Or., April 20. The
stage-driver from Sumpter brought
news this afternoon from Granito that
at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon G. ii.
McMahon, who left Baker City Monday
last for Granite, shot Lewis M.Gntridge
and brother, Samuel W., in front of
the Gutridgo store in Granite, Grant
county. Lewis was shot twice througlw'
the body, and was dying when the mes
senger left for Sumpter. Sain was shot
in the face, but grappled with his
assailant, knocking him down and
holding him until the arrival of Deputy
Sheriff Nivens, who arrested MoMahon.
Local gossip about McMahon'8 sister
is said to have caused the assault. It
is believed that if both brothers tlie,
McMahon will be lynched. Samuel
W. Gutridge is postmaster at Granite.
Death of William 8. Holmnn.
Washington, April 26. Itepresenta
tivo llolman, of Indiana, died at 3
o'clock this afternoon.
Judge llolman 's death was due pri
marily to a fall ho sustained earlv this
spring, as the result of an attack of
vertigo. Ho soon complained of feel
ing badly, ami his condition grew
steadily worse until last Tuesday.
Then he rallied somewhat, an.1 the im
provement gave the family soma en
couragement in hoping for his recovery.
This rally was brief, however, menin
gitis developed, and since that time he
sank rapidly. Since last night he had
been under opiates, and this morning
the family gave up hope, uud realized
that the end was near. He passed
away without regaining consciousness.
Hailstorm Demolished House.
Newton, Kan., April 20. A terrific
wind storm, accompanied by heavy
hail and rain, swept over Harvey

Salem, Or., April 20. E. T. Johnson,
who is hunting laborers for contractors
on tho Astoria railroad, has submitted
to Superintendent Gilbert, of the peni
tentiary, a proposition to biro the idle
convicts. There is some question as to
whether or not the authorities have
the right to hire out convicts. The
matter is being investigated. Tho

SMALLPOX HAS BROKEN OUT
Four Americana In Carmnas Have
Contracted tllf) Dreaded Disease
One Already Jeud I.ee Intervene.
New York, April 2C. A dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says:
Smallpox has made its appearance in
Cabanas prison. Owen Melton, an
American correspondent and a member
of the Competitor crew, contrived to
send a note to friends here under date
of April 18, in which he says:
"Smallpox has appeared in cell No.
4, in which there are four Americans.
One prisoner lias died and three others j
have got the disease. I nursed a friend j
named Gonzales, not knowing he had ,
smallpox, and so I suppose I will have I
it. I can onlv hope for the best."
This information was carried to Gen- '
j end Lee and he promptly informed tho :
j United States government of the state j
' of affairs, also wrote Acting Captain- i
i General Ahumada inquiring if there j
; had been smallpox in Cabanas, and
! what steps had been taken to guard the
health of the Americans imprisoned
there. A reply was received making '
no statement of the prevalence of the
disease, but stating that the Americans
would be vaccinated at once.
It is thought here that the appear
ance of smallpox will make the Amer
ican government press for the release of
Melton and others, as it is understood
Spain has practically decided to liberate
them. General Weyler is an obstacle
to the release of any Americans. He
said last week in Santa Clara that
Americans were set at liberty without
gootl cause.
General Weyler's recent declaration
that Santa Clara is pacified means that
newspaper fighting there will be meager.
Nevertheless he admits that within
three days of his declaration of tran
quility more than ninety rebels were
killed in the province. He says he will
no longer require any troops to fill the
places of his killed and wounded, which
means simply that he has been told to
expect no more soldiers from Spain.
The situation in Banes, a seaport
town in Santiago de Cuba, now com
mands much attention here. The gun
boat Galicia and the cruisers Nueva
Espana and P.eina Mercedes are waiting
outside tho narrows until three columns
sent by General Weyler have had time
to move on the rebels by land. The
insurgents have held the town Bince
Kolott's expedition landed there on
March 25. The harbor is one naturallv
! capable of easy defense, and it is said
the insurgents have placed torpedoes in
the channel. It is most difficult to
learn any definite news of the recent
operations there, but it is plain that
tlie bpnnish recognize the necessity of
moving in force against the town and
attempting to attack it simultaneously !
by land and sea, for the purpose of pre
venting the rebels from continuing to
hold tho port.
General Gomez, according to the last i
reports, lias left Arroyo Blanco district
and moved nearer Trinidad. There is
a rumor that he may bo elected presi
dent of the republic to succeed Cis
neros. Another idea is that he has
decided to contest the possession of
Banes, and many who thought his siege
of Arroyo Blanco was a ruse to entice
Weyler into the country where moder
ate forco might be attacked to advant
age, now believe that Weyler's move
ment toward Banes will meet a steady
resistance which will add to the evi
dence already piled up to disprove Gen-
"ejiers ueoiaration of paeilioa-
tion.

GREECE'S DAY.
& Srrlea of Victories for Klne George's
Army.
London, April 20. The Athens cor
respondent of the Chronicle says that
the Crown Prince Constantino has
wired to King George as follows:
"The Turks are quiet today, owing
to our success yesterday. We have de
stroyed the Turkish battery at Ligeria.
The Turks have retired from Nezeros
and Kapsani. The action of our fleet
at Katerina was excellent. I was in
the first line of fire yesterday."
The correspondent of the Chronicle
says:
The Turks are greatly dismayed by
the destruction of their stores at Kat
erina and at Litochaion. Commodore
Sachtouris destroyed the stores from
the coast to the foot of Mount Olympus.
Nothing remains, therefore, for Edhem
Pasha to carry away but hunger.
The coast road being barred, the only
remaining road from Salonica is the
Ferri road, eight days from Elassona.
Tho reportB of the injury to the rail
way line by tho blowing up of bridges
ami a tunnel are confirmed.
Financially, everything is going
well, and the value of paper money has
risen.
It. is reported here (Athens) that tho
Turkish troops will be withdrawn from
Crete.
Private advices from Volo say that
all the villages between Katerina and
Veria have risen.
Among the wounded who have ar
rived here are several who state that a
number of Greeks wounded at Gritzo
vali and unable to follow the Greek re
treat wero shut up in a small church
by the Turks, who set fire to the build
ing and burned them to death.
j From the Greek Standpoint.
London, April 20. The Greek charge
: d'affaires here received a dispatch
' datetl Athens today, giving the exact
situation on the Thessalian frontier
from the Greek standpoint. It is as
j follows:
"In TheFaly, in the direction of
: Reveni and Boughasi, our forces have
peneterated into Turkish territory and
advanced toward Datnais.
j "All attacks of the ehemy have been
t repulsed in the direction of Gritzovali.
"Our army occupiesa strong position
at Mati, where there has been lighting
since yesterday. The Turkish attacks
j have been repulsed.
I "The Greeks had to retire from Nez
eros, falling back on the bank of the
Derchi, a strong position, which they
are now defending. In Epirus our
army is advancing and has captured
Fort Imaret, Fiilipiada and several vil
lages. The Greeks have also occupied
Salagera, capturing three cannon, a
; number of guns and a quantity of am
munition and provisions. The army ia
now advancing northward.
"SKOUZES,
I "Minister of Foreign Affairs."
' Captured Turkish Stores.
Athens, April 26. After the bom
bardment of Katerina, on the Gnlf of
iSalonica, by the Greek squadron had
rput to flight two battalions of Turks
and the inhabitants of that place, the
3reek fleet landed a detachment and
,found the Turks had left behind im
mense stores of provisions destined for
,the armies of Edhem Pasha. These
Valuable Stores had been loft r..-t....
ed in the belief by the Turks that a
blockade of Greece by the fleets of the
powers would prevent the Greek fleet
Ifrom attacking the Turkish towns in
the Gulf of Salonica, which is near the
railroad to Salonica, and which has
'been used as a point to land stores for
the Turkish army and forward them to
the front.
The capture of these towns, not to
'mention the loss of the stores, places a
serious difficulty in the path of Edhem
iPasha, and it iB stated here that as soon
as the Turkish commander-in-chief
heard the news of the capture of Plato
niona and Katerina ho dispatched 10,
000 men toward the coast of Macedonia,
fearing a flank attack from the Gulf of
Salonica.
The Turkish View.
Constantinople, April 20. The Turk
ish govenrment yesterday issued the
following statement:
"The rcconnoissance with a force of
infantry, six batteries of artillery and
a cavalry division enabled Nairn Pasha
to occupy a position with eight bat
talions and some field batteries opposite
the Greek forces centered south of the
Milouna and Silouva pass. Hakki
Pasha, with twelve battalions, ad
vanced towards Noraly on the plain
in order to threaten the retreat of the
Greeks at Koskrena.
"Nairn Pasha defeated the Greeks,
and occupied the important heights of
Karadja anil Virran.
"Hamdi Pasha captured the fortified
summits of Gordonan and Garbika
commanding the passes." '
