The follow ing wore tho word a of Judge Cliffon! in imping wnitence: "Mr. l'orn, you now stand boforo this court, having Iwen duly indict ed, tried and convicted of one of the gravest criiii'w known to our Inw, that of mnrdar in tin) firrtl decree. for the killing of your wife, Caroline J Zorn. "You havo had a fair ami itnpar- ( tial trial, hy twelve good citizens of tht county, who, after liavmg heard the evidence in the case, tho argu ment of counsel, and the instruc tions of tho court, have, after an ah Bonce of only an hour ami a half, returned into this court with a ver dict of guilty, ai charge 1 in the in dictment, th'erehy saying that every material allegition of the indict ment had hoon nrovoti to their sat isfaction, hoyoiul a reasonable doubt. "You have had tho advantage of an able attorney to represent your interests, who has dono all in his power to defend you. You have had as fair a trial" as it has ever been my lot to witness, and in tho introduction of testimony in this case, whenever a doubt has arisen as to admissibility of testimony, I can freely sav that that doubt 1 have invariably resolved in your favor. I consider, therefore, that as far as this court is concerned, that you have had as fair and im partial a trial as it was possible for n man to receive. Kvery particle of testimony that it was Kssiblo to present in your behalf was submit ted to the jury. "Upon the "verdict returned there is but one sentence that this court can pronounce upon you, and that is that your life shall be forfeited to pay thcionalty for tho great crime you have committed. "Ah unpleasant as it is for mo to now pass this sentence upon you, I cannot but recognize tho fact that the unfortunate condition in which you find yourself placed at tho pres ent time,' has been brought about by your own voluntary act and deed. "Tho judgment of this court is thai you bo imprisoned iu tho conn tvj.nl of this countv until Friday, tlio'i.-ith day of March, 1SD2, at which time you be taken by tho Bherill'of this county within tho en closure of the jail or jail yard, where you have been confined, and between tho hours of It) o'clock a. m. and I o'clock p. m. of said day, to-wit, the hour of '2 o'clock p. in. of said dav, iu tho presence of twelve bona fiiio electors of this county and state, to be selected by tho sheriff of this county, in tho presence of said elec tors, by tho sheriff of this county so elected, you be then and there hanged by tho neck until you are dead, and may (iod havo mercy on your soul."

The war crisis has pasted, much to the disgust of the young naval ollicers and others aud itions of earning glory at the cannon's month and of the men who had 1iohkI to largly increase their bank accounts by means of profitable government contracts, anil the pleasure of ordi nary folks. It is now conceded hy those who were at first inclined to hlaino President Harrison for un necessary haste in sending an ulti mation and in sending the corres Kjndence and his vigorous message to congress, that he was pursuing the very lw.it course to bring alnnit jieace. It was necestary to convince Chili that this government intended to enforce the demands it had made by force if necessary, and iu no other way could this have been done so speedily. In congress all political difference!! were for the time forgotten and everybody be camu intensely American. The re-" suit, as might have been exacted, is an abject ajiology from Chili. It is not the first time that active preparations for war have resulted in assuring wace. The farmers' alliance representa tives were given their first ollieial recognition in tho home by being allowed one hour out of the seven devoted to debate on the new rules. Representative Otis, of Kansas, after stating that the third party was founded on the ciial rights Jeffersonian doctrin, on the Klicy of Washington, and upon the Lin coln idea of the suK.Tiority of lalwir to capital, criticised the rules as conferring a dangerous H)werou the scakcr and the committee on rules. Representative Watson, of (Jeorgia, made the principles of tho alliance the basis of his remarks, stating that the toiling millions of the laud were looking to those principles as their only means of relief. Other alliance mciuliers also made brief remarks. If Oklahoma does not become a state during the present congress it will not U for any lack of cll'ort on tho part of delegate Harvey, who looks after the interests of that hustling territory in the house. Ho has already introduced a bill to that elfeet." The resolution providing for an investigation as to whether the ap propriations heretofore made for tho world's fair havo Ir-cii judiciously expended has been favorably re Kirted to the house, and it will be passed. This does not indkata a hostile feeling towards the exjsjsi tion; on the contrary it is intended to furnish the managers an optxir tunity to show congress how well the appropriations have beon sjient, as an inducement to grant the ap propriate of $.1,0(X),IXX) now asked for. There are those, howeer, who do not think the showing made will be favorable to the managers. A bill to prohibit the sale of fire Curtain baking powder makers are publishing falsified extracts from the Covcrnmcnt reports, with pretended analyses and certificates, wherein an attempt is made to compare their baking powders with the "Royal," or r.iaking bogus tests from house to house, their obvious purpose being to counteract the recent exposures of the inferiority of their own goods arising from their impurity, low strength, and lack of keeping qualities as shown by the Government chemists anil others. As to whether any of these baking powders are equal to the " Royal," the official tests clearly deter mine. When samples of various baking powders were purchased from the grocers, anil analyzed by the United St ates Government Chemists and the Chemists of Stale and City Hoards of Health, the reports revealed the fact that the "Royal" contained from 28 per cent, lo 60 per cent, more leavening strength than any other cream of tartar baking powder, and also that it was more perfectly made, of purer ingredients, and altogether wholesome. Ar, these powders are sold to consumers at the same price, by the use of the Royal Baking l'owder there is an average saving of over one third, besides the advantage of assured purity and wholeRoineneBs of food, and of bread, biscuit, and cake made perfectly light, r.weet, and palatable advan tages not to be had in the use of the low-grade, cheaply madis baking p'ow ders that contain lime, alum, and other impurities, arms to Indians residing on reser vations has been favorably rejiortod to tho senate. Representative Livingston, of Georgia, last week introduced a bill for the establishment of a syMeni of sub-treasuries, in accordance with the Ocala demands of tho farmers' alliance. Representative Rowers, of Cali fornia, is not enamoured of the new house rules. 1 lo says his )eoplc want some appropriations for their harbors, and that if he understands the rules aright he will not 1h "in it" unless he can get a "pull" on the river and harlior committee. There is a movement amotii; the i Cleveland democrats to throw their strength to Carlisle, if, as roiortod, I Mr. Cleveland shall decline to al low his name to go Iveforo the con 1 vention. This movement is so new i that its strength cannot be estimat ed at this time, hut there are good ' reasons for the belief that Mr. I Cleveland will not favor the ncini- nation of Carlisle. Tho senate without a division ad opted the report from the committee on elections confirming the right of Senator Chilcot, apjMiinted by the j (iovernor of T.-xas, to servo out the j unexpired term of S nator Reagan, to his seat. Kvcr since China refused to ro- ceivo ex-Senator lllair as minister frotu this country there have been ugly rumors around Washington j intimating that the inlliteuce offer tain Americans interested iu certain ' concessions which they hoHd to get from China had more to do with it than Mr. Ill.dr's congressional rec ord on the Chinese question. I Whether the rumors inllucitovd Senator Morgan I cannot say, but he laet nock offered a resolution, which was adopted by the M'liate, rciictiug tho president to furnish copies of all the corresxiiideiice be tween tho two governments on the subject, if it can be done without injury to the public interests. Tho national IkkipI of trade, with representations from all the princi pal cities of the country, has been in session hero for three days. A feature of the meeting was an at tack on the iuter-stato commerce law which tho lioard docs not lie liove iu. Agriculture, mining and cattle promise good returns in Kastorn Oregon tho coming season, and if ever this jsirtion of the state had the advantages of growth and pros erity it will have this year.

The Tinted States supreme coutt upheld tho constitutionality of the anti-lottery act of the last congress, allirming the decision in several cosos. The court said that the power granted to congrcsi to regu late the jHntal system was complete and carried with it tho jwwer to for bid the use of the mails to aid in the erH'tmtiou of crime or immor ality. The court says it must bo left to congress, in the exercise of its discretion, to determine what shall oo excluded.
