THE CANADIAN ELECTION.
The
Cnvernment and the Canadian
Pa-
clflc Join Forces.
Chicago, March 4. A Montreal spec
ial says that the Canadian Pacific has
found an admirable adjustment of differ
encences existing between the railroad
and government. The government it is
stated in return for the assistance of the
railway company in tomorrow's elections
will abandon the $11 ,000 ,000 claim on the
railway and will settle the claim of the
company for $5,000,000 in connection
with the Kamloops or "Onderdonk" sec
tion of the Canadian Pacific railway in
British Columbia. As a result of this
deal, should the government escape de
feat, it would be that the interest on
$65,000,000 of Canadian Pacific railway
stock would become a permanent charge
of the countrv.
Last Day of Congress.
Washington, D. C, March 4. After
an all night session the senate took a
recess at 6:15 until 9 a. m.
. Jn the-house- Jhia morning a resolu
tion of thanks to Speaker Reed,' was
carried by a strict party vote.
The senate agreed to the conference
report on general deficiency bill amend
ment reimbursing Oregon, California
and Nevada for expenses in suppressing
the rebellion, was withdrawn.
There is much discussion over the
nomination of J. H. Beatty to be United
Stater judge for Idaho and a western
senator who is a noted objectior to it
and has hitherto resisted all appeals at
last withdrew his demand and the case
lies over. It finally took that order
which involves a failure of the nomina
tion as it cannot be reached again in its
regular order.
In the senate a resolution! was offered
by Mitchell instructing the judiciary
committee to inquire. and report when
the laws relating to Chinese instruction
expire, whether in 1892 or 1894 ; also
when the Chinese exclusion act of 1888
shall expire. He explained that the ob
ject was to have hew legislation on the
subject before the existing laws ceased
to operate. The resolution was agree to.
Both houses of congress adjourned
sine die. Closing addresses were made
by Vice-President Morton and Speaker
Reed in response to a vote of thanks-
tendered them.

tion of the sugar trust, will resume operr

A FORTUNATE RAILROAD WRECK.
Train
Collide on
the Union
Branch.
Pacific
Spokane
Walla Walla, March 2. Sunday
night word was received in this city that
a terrible wreck had occurred on the
Union Pacific between this city and Alto.
Particulars of the collision, as near as
could be ascertained, are as follows:
Train No. 5, the west-bound passenger
from Spokane Falls, had orders to meet
train No. 6, the east-bound passenger
from Portland, which six hours late, at
Alto. When No. 5 reached Alto orders
were given to meet Xo. 62, an east
bound freight, at Menoken. It is sup
posed that the conductor of train No. 5
misunderstood his order and he started
his train out of Alto and had gotten
within three-fourths of a mile of Meno-kenji-wheny-rounding
a1 curve, the fire
man, William Falkner, discovered the
east bound train coming towards tliem,
being onlv about two car lengths distant.
He called to the engineer, who was on
the upper side of the engine, and jumped
out of the cab. Engineer George
Thomson quickly applied the airbrakes
and reversed his engine, but owing to
the short distance a collision could not
be avoided. The engines came together
with a crash and the mail and express
were piled on each other. When Falk
ner jumped from the engine he fell ou
his left arm breaking it midway between
the wrist and the elbow. Mail Clerk
McKosky was also injured, but not
seriously. He was taken to Colfax.
Engineer Thompson was slightly bruised
about the head and face. A wrecking
train was telegraphed for, and left at 9
o'clock for the scene of the collision.
The passengers, mail and express were
transferred and the train arrived here
about 1 o'clock this morning. The fire
man was brought to this city and taken
to the hospital. Jiingineer Ihompsoii
went on to Pendleton. The engineer
and fireman of No. 5 escaped without in
jury. Had the accident occured several
miles east there would undoubtedly
have been several killed. As the grade
is very steep, it would have been im
possible to stop the train at this point.
The two engines and mail and express
cars on each train are & total wreck, one
express car being mashed to splinters.
CITIZEN'S ALLIANCE.
A Political Keform Organization to Act
With the Farmers.
San Fbancisco, March 2. A citizens'
alliance is about to be formed in San
Francisco similar to organizations of that
name in eastern cities. The organization
here will be affiliated with the eastern
bodies. A preliminary meeting will be
called in a few days. "The citizens' alli
ance is a sort of "city auxiliary of the
farmers' alliance, and works in harmony
with the larger body in all matters not
strictly agricultural. The promoters of
the new organization announce that its
object will be to see that the best men
are elected to office and to aid to secure
all reforms in the geileral laws of the
state that may be fully recognized as
desirable. The Australian ballot will be
one of the foremost reforms the organiza
tion will support. Should this legisla
ture not pass the bill now 'pending, the
organization will make every effort to
defeat the men 'or party responsible for
the failure.
BROODINO ON KEVKNOE.
Emperor William's Testlness of Manner
Causes Comment.
Berlin, March 2. The political atmos
phere of Germany has become highly
charged as the result of the recent visit
of Empress Frederick to Paris. Emperor
William has developed a testiness of
manner repellant to the most intimate
of his advisers and spends a great deal of
his time in silent meditation, and it is
believed by those near him that the'
kaiser is bent upon revenge for the real
or fancied slight put upon his mother
and is planning a coup, which will
shortly be sprung upon the French.
CRISPI MAY RESIGN.
Information said to be from the high
est sources shows that general activity
has been caused in official circles by the
emperor's recent utterances. Chancellor
Von Caprivi has, according to the same
authority, signified to the emperor his
desire to resign his post immediately
upon the conclusion of the autumn
maneuvers. The chancellor does not ap
prove the emperor's ideas and plans
in connection with recent events. It. is
feared that the emperor will determine
ujxm a total reversal of Germany's
friendly attitude towards France.
A HAD FLIGHT.
The Father Dead and the Mother a Rav
ing Maniac.
New York, March 2. John Thomas
came from Wales four years ago with
his wife and two children. In Salt Lake
City he settled and worked for some
time in an iron foundry, finally losing

Cuba in a Bad Way.
New York, March 2. Ex-Minister
Foster, who has returned from Havana,
says that city is packed with Americans.
He says that Cuba is in a bad way.
Her business interests are nearly paral
yzed. The island represents a loss each
year to the Spanish government in the
form of a deficiency. The taxes collected
do not pay the expenses of the local gov
ernment. The greatest falling off has
been in the sugar industry. People in
Cuba are anxious to secure reciprocity
under the McKinley bill, so that they
can get their sugar into the United
States free.

around the house, and expected shortly
to take exercise in the open air. Hi's
trouble seems to lje a general breaking
down of the system, owing to old age.
JDeaconesses Not Allowed.
Chicago, March 2. The Chicago

fice. The prccliytery so voted.
