,SiHiHa.K5wS MMMtMH J THE GRMfl tOUllII K, c 6'. 75.90. Uids were opened nt the imvy department last week for tlio con struction of three war vessels to cost all told, more than 5,000,-000. Fanners in Crook county report their growing grain having heen aoriously damaged hy frost, hut that it will yet make a crop, with plenty of rain. The latest from tho Senate l'i nnucc committee says that the iMclCitiloy tnriif bill will he re ported to the senate next week. It would be just as well not to hot on it though. The usual summer diversion of the regular army, chasing Ajwichos in Arizona at n safe distance be hind tho Indians, is now in full blast, and will probably continue without interruption until snow llios. Senator Stanford's bill for tho loaning of Government money to thu fanners of tho country has, as was expected from the first, been heavily sat upon by tho Senate Fi nance committee to which it was referred. Tho committee made an adverse report to the senate, which had rcconcd the unanimous vote of tho committee, and the bill was indefinitely postponed, which is only another way of saying that it is (lead. Senator Stanford will try again later on; lie believes in tho idea. The pension question, like the poor, we have with us always. The conferees at Washington have agreed upon a bill, which is really a now one, as it leaves out tho de pendent feature of the bill which had previously passed the senate and the service feature of tho bill which the house had passed, and makes disability tho lent for re ceiving a pension. The money that the now law will take is vari ously estimated at from SflO.OOO, 000 to 100,000,000 a vcar, which added to the 120,000.000 a year now paid will give Young Ameri ca some idea of what war costs. Tho WaiUburg Kntorpriso is disgusted with the usual method employed by tho Oregon juries of to-day in dealing with criminals, and declares that "murder is now as easy aB divorce to rid one of an undesirable mate." Of tho noto rious Scott caso it says: "He was found guilty of manslaughter and KMiteuced Saturday for ten veins. Jlis wife was shot ii: the heail with a shotgun while in bed, and again in tho uncle while escaping by the back poareh. Scott was there and claims it was suicide. How could a woman shoot herself in tho back with a shotgun J If not suicide it was murder. In either cabe, Scott hag no business in thu "pen" for ton ycaas on a verdict, of man filaughtor. Hut then, the ways of a jury are past finding out. Comment has already been made in these columns on Senator Stanford's bill providing for the establishment of a land loan bn lean in tho Treasury Department, which was to issue notes on thu security of unincumbered agricul tural land. Few people probably regarded tho project seriously, but tho bill went in the regular way to tho Finance Committee of the sen ate. That body has promptly ren dered an adverse report upon thu monsurc, and it ha been indoli nitely postponed. Scarcely any one, we presume, looked for any othor result. Tho elTect of tho bill if inacted would bo to set up tho government hi the real estate1 interest as a competitor with pri- vato citizens and corporation, ami , to seriously raise the question as to where tho limits of tho govern ment's participation in biibincsn would bo set. Aieeularly revolt(n cae of! juvenile polygamy has just been brought to the at'tontion of the Jiritish government of India, in which an eminent l'r.diniin, living in Hengal, com polled his six aunts, eight sisters and four daughters, nil to bo married together to ahoy 0 years of ago. The eldest of tho eighteen brides was mora than 50 years old and tho youngest was scarcely 21 months old and was brought to tho wedding wrapped in swaddlig clothes and lying in a brass salver. It is allirmed that this case is by no means extraordi nary nnd that hundreds of marri ages equally outrageous arc occur ring every year among tho Ktilin Jbahmins. That a boy of nine years of age should bo married to eighteen wivos, all in ono family, in three generations, and ranging from three months to fifty years in ago is too amazing n state of uf fails for tho Uritish empire. I Mr. Harrison and Mr. Ulaino will in future talk secrets over a nrivate tvlejihono wire which has been run from the White House to the lllaiuu residence. "It's hotter than ," began tho deacon, when the minister in terrupted hjm with "S-h-h." Hut the deacon wouldn't be bluffed. "It's hotter than yesterday," h said. -i&RimBiQODPmm. IT TH TlTFi tnnAT.

A recent dispatch from San Francisco brings word that liogos lov, the Alaskan volcano that rose from the ocean depths about seven years ago and blazed and smoked for a time, is again in eruption. This recent eruption began i'obru ary 10, and has continued at in tervals. April 17 and iI2 there were signs of great nctmty, smoko and flame pouring from the lofty crater, and rising to a grout height. The sky for weeks was clouded with ashes, and thcc foil in liber al showers in the town of Illiiliuk, forty-four miles to tho eastward. To the people who saw thu erup tion it seemed a pillar of lire and smoke fully fifteen miles high, rising from the horizon and losing itself in the low clouds. Profes sor Davison, of tho Coast Survey, estimates that thu volcanic pillar must have been sent up to a height of at least four miles above the sea. NEW TO-DAY. Appointment of Ad ministrator.
