An Entensive Programme Mapped Out Which will Bring the "Plumed Knight" Out President Harrison Starts on his Tour to the South and West A Horn- . ble Giant Powder Explosion. San Francisco, April 14. The Ex aminer' Washington special says a wel defined plan having for its object the candidacy of Secretary Blaine in 1892 has been formulated by eome of the Plumed Knight's enthusiastic admirers here and in the west. It embraces the retirement of Blaine from his position as secretary of state next fall. It is the purpose to have his retire ment take place after the political effect of the president's tour south and west has worn off in those sections. Then Mr. Blaine's friends desire to take him over about the same route though a more extensive one. The object is to bring the western farmers as much as possible, into per sonal contact with the man who has been endeavoring to get a foreign mar ket for their "barrel of pork" and "bu shel of wheat." Representative Binger Hermann of Oregon was fefie first to give a hint as to what was intended. THK PRESIDENT'S VIEWS. He Would Build Up Manufactories Home. Kansas City, April 14. In a letter read at the commercial congress today President Harrison says : "The extraor dinary developments of the production of agriculture which has taken jlace in recent periods of this country by reason of the rapid enlargement of the area of tillage under the favoring land laws of the United States very naturally called the attention to the value and indeed the necessity of larger markets. I am oneof those who believe the home market to be necessarily the best for the producers as it usually emaninatea him in pro portion to its nearness from the exaction of transportation companies. If the far mer could deliver his surplus of produce to the consumer out of his farm wagon his independence and his profits would be larger and surer. It seems to me quite possible to attain a larger increased market- for our staple farm products without impairing the home market by opening manufacturing trades' competi tion in wnicn loreign products are pay ing lower scale of wages, would have great advantage.' A policy that would reduce the number of our people engaged in merchantile pursuits or diminish their ability to purchase food products by re ducing wages cannot be helpful to those now engaged in agriculture." Passing to the consideration of the cur rency, Harrison said, "My idea is that any dollar, paper or coin, issued by the United States must be made and kept in its commercial use as good as any other dollar. If we have dollars of different values, only the poorest will circulate, I have always believed and do now more than ever believe in bi-metalism and favor all the use of silver in connection with our currency that is compatible with the maintenance of a gold and sil ver dollar in their commercial uses. Nothing in my judgment would so much retard the restoration of the world as legislation attempted by us that would result in placing this country upon a basis of silver monemetalism legislation adopted by the first session of the fifty fifth congress. I was assured by leading advocates of free coinage representatives of silver states would promptly and per manently bring silver to $1.29 per ounce and keep it there. That anticipation has not been realized ; our larger use of silver has apparently and for reasons not agreed upon, dimished the demand for silver in China and India." A BAD ACCIDENT. A Man Foolishly Puts Giant Powder in a Stove. Pobtlakd, Or., April 14. Word has reached here from La Center, Wash ington, of a terrible accident which oc curred near the latter place yesterday. A farmer named Holcomb had placed some giant powder ' in a stove. The powder exploded, demolishing his house and setting fire to the ruins. Two daughters of Mr. Holcomb's.aged 14 and 16 respectively, were instattly killed and Mr. Holcomb and his wife were seriously if not fatally injured by the force of the explosion. A Burglar Shot. ' - Astoria, Or., April 14. Charles War ren,' while attempting to feloniously entered the gunsmith store of A. G. Spexarth early this morning was shot and fatally wounded by Spexarth. His two accomplices John Tebo and Frank Macy, were captured and lodged in jail. NEW ORLEANS GRAND JIKV. A Report Expected From It During; the Coming; Week. New Orleans, April 12. The grand jury is expected to report the coming week, and, among other things, it, is said the confession of Politz will be used in the report. Politz confessed his inno cence and said he joined the Mafia under the impression that it was a benevolent society. He was present at the meeting when Hennessv's death was decided up on and was ordered to carry the guns in a sack to Monasterion's shanty, but re fused. He did not know of the killing until the Sunday following, but after wards learned the details from Monas terion. They were substantially the same as claimed by the state upon the trial implicating Scaffedi, Marchesi, Bag- slayers. The state did not use the con fession, because it had such direct proof ot .roiitz's presence at the killing, which his story denied, f olitz is said to have had a brother who closely resembled him, wno nas not been touna. His identifica tion might have been transferred to him and Politz's confession would have formed an important link in the chain of evi dence. CRIME IN ENGLAND. A Drunken Barman's Horrible Attack on bis Employer's Child. London, April 12. A horrible tragedv occurred in a public house in North Lon don this morning. A man named rritz, emplored as barman in Eggleston's public house, became wildly intoxicated, and attacked the young daughter of his employer, who 'was dusting the bar. lie struck her on the head with a ham mer, fracturing her skull. The child fell senseless at his feet, and Fritz, now thoroughly frenzied, siezed her by the hair and dragged her into the parlor, where, after locking the door, he smashed the furniture. Seeing signs that the terribly injured girl was return ing to consciousness, Fritz again attacked her with the hammer and beat her until he supposed she was dead. He then went to his home, where he loaded a re volver, telling his wife he intended to kill every member of the Eggleston family. Then he dashed out of the house, and has not been seen since. Fritz's victim is still living, but cannot possibly survive many hours, me police are searching for him. THE DEATH LIST. Ex-Governor Waterman, of California. San Diego, April 12. Ex-Governor Waterman died at 7 :30 this evening of pneumonia, after a brief illness. fR. W. Waterman was born in Fair field, Herkernier county, N. Y., in 1826. When verv vounsr he moved to Svcamnre. 111., with his parents, where he grew up and engaged in mercantile business. He came to California in 1869, and engaged in mining tor two years, lie went back to Illinois, but retnrned permanently to California in 1873, locating at San Ber nardino. He was part owner of the rich Calico mines in San Bernardino county, and owned the famous Julian mines in San Diego county. He engaged in farm ing on a large scale and owned a vast amount of land. In 1886 he received the republican nomination for. lieutenant governor, and was the only republican elected. Washington Bartlett, (Dem.), was elected governor, but died soon after taking office, and Waterman .filled out the term, which expired last January. He leaves a widow and several children. THE POSSIBLE EUROPEAN WAR. Russia Increasing the Defensive Forces of the Empire. St. Petersburg, April, 12. The czar has renamed most of the regiments of the Russian army after the commanders of generals notable since the time -of Peter the Great, and the reserve battal ions after the important victories gained by Russian arms. Ten of these battal ions are raised to full regiments, ' 20,000 being thus added to the reserves. With the recent decrees for the construction of military roads and a large increase in the fleet, everything points to an unre mitting increase of the defensive forces of the empire. The Military Gazette records important experiments as to the adaptibility of snow preastworks against the enemies' fire. Such preastworks have been found to be exceedingly val uable. In fact, they are almost impene trable, when water "is poured over them so as to form a crust of ice. THE EUROPEAN MINERS. They Are Keenly Watching the Strike Agitation in America. Paris, April 12. Leaders of lhe re cent miners' congress are arranging to appoint a general strike executive com mittee, composed equally of representa tives of French, English, German and Belgian miners. The German miners have decided, in the event of a strike in Belgium, to also strike if the German colliers endeavor to supply Belgium with coal. The English delegates also guarantee to stop the export of coal. If the new system of drawing upon Ameri can coal weakens their position, the exe cutive committee will open communica tion with the American unions. The strike agitationB in America are being watched with keen interest. England's Opium Trade. London, April 12r The British gov ernment is greatly dismayed at the de cision of the house of commons against the opium traffic, not knowing how to replace the 4,000,000 the abolition of the traffic will cost. The opponents of the traffic intend to celebrate their vic tory soon by a banquet, and will insist on the obedience by the government to the mandate of parliament. Ban Francisco Market. 8Ait Francisco, April 14. Wheat, buyer '91, 1.62. A NEW RAILROAD. Survey to be Began on the Proposed Coos Bay Road. Mahbhfield, Or., April 14. The preliminary survey of the Coos Bay & Easrern Railroad will start ' this week. The road is to be run up Coos Bay and across the coast range direct to the town of Winchester, six miles north of Rose burg. This is one of the four proposed roads with Coos Bay as terminal point with a good prospect of being the first to be completed. t The. line is to be sixty miles in length. SEEING- THE COUNTRY. President Harrison Starts on His Wind ing Way to this Coast. Roanoke, Va., April 14. The presi dential train arrived here this morning. There was no special en route reception but at Roanoke the reception was most enthusiastic. The president shook hands with many hundreds of people from the rear platform and in response to repeated demands made a short speech. Railroad Trust Rapidly Golne to the Wall. Chicago, April 14. To all appearances the Western Traffic association is at the point of dissolution. The prediction that the Gould lines would not be repre sented at the meeting of the advisary board was fulfilled. No representatives of the Southern Pacific and Great North ern were present. There being no quorum present it was decided to adjourn until tomorrow. Sheds and Stock Burned up. Pittsburg, April 14. Early this morning a fire destroyed three acres of sheds at the stock yards and cremated 137 head of cattle. The loss will not ex ceed $4000. Polk A Co.'a Directory. Mr. L. A. Connella, representing R. L. Polk & Co.'s "Gazateer and Business Di rectory of Oregon, Washington and Idaho," has been in The Dalles for a.few days past and tomorrow will go to Gold endale to see what business can be done in that flourishing city. He reports having met with much success here and thinks The Dalles a good town for busi ness in. his line as the merchants have been generous in their subscriptions and advertisements to the , directory. And well they might for the directories pub- lisned by Polk & Co', are better and more satisfactory than anything that has been attempted in this part of the country. Following is what Polk A Co.'s say of: their work : Our first book was published in 1884,. and we have issued the work biennially, until now it is a recognized standard, publication of great necessity, doing its part in the development of the vast em pire covered by its influence. The de mand for the book is constantly increas ing. The tremendous growth of these states will render the forthcoming vol ume of vast interest and importance. With valuable experience and ample re sources, we will spare no pains nor ex pense to make the work accurate in all details. The book will contain a com plete business directory of every city, town or village in the state, as well as the names and addresses of mill owners, country merchants, professional men, etc., etc., who are not located in villages ; also lists of government and county offi cers, census statistics, times of holding court, names of the postmasters, post offices, express and telegraph offices, list of incorporated companies, with amount of capital, justices of the peace, all hotels, with rates per day, daily and weekly newspapers, their politics and day of is sue, besides much other information use ful to all classes of business and profes sional men. A descriptive sketch of each place, em bracing various items ot interest, such as the location, population, distance to dif ferent points, the most convenient ship ping stations, the products that are marketed, stage communications, trade statistics, bonded debt, the nearest bank location, mineral interests, the prices of land and the inducements of fered to settlers. Mention is made of the churches, schools, libraries and soci eties located in each place. A classified directory, comprising lists of all trades, professons and pursuits in the state, wherein the name and post office address of every person in each line of business may be found, is an im portant feature of our state publications. Carefully prepared digest of the com mercial law of the three states by the best legal talent, Maps of Oregon, Washington and Idaho, giving latest surveys, new towns, roads, etc. Polk & Co., have secured space in the World's fair building at Chicago for the purpose of keeping on exhibition the copies of their directories which they publish in nearly every state in the Union. The directory for which Mr. Connella is obtaining data will be published un der the direct personal supervision of Mr. H. M. Clinton, an accomplished journalist of Portland, who for the past few years has given his entire attention to work on Polk & Co.'s publications, in various capacities. He has at last been promoted to full charge of all their busi ness in the three northwestern states, which is a fine tribute to a deserving and worthy man. ;
