THE WORLD'S FAIR.
Propelling Machinery for Light, Etc.,
-Will be Furnished by Exhibitors.
Chicago, Aug. 17. The board of con
trol of the national world's fair commis
sion passed resolutions today looking to
the termination of the little squabble be
tween the department chief and Chief
Constructor Burnham, about the instal
lation of engines. ' Burnham can now go
ahead and place the power he arranged
for, and the directory saves $1,000,000,
which would be necessary to buy the re
quired propelling machinery. Burn
ham's plan was, -instead of laying up
this large sum 01 money, to nave tne ex
hibitors furnish the necessary machinery
tor light, neat and power, this macmn
ery to be installed and classified as part
ol tne owner s competitive exhiDit, suo
ject to. the regulations of the national
commission. The matter of installation
will be settled between Burnham and
the chiefs of the electric and machinery
departments.
TO HANDLE WHEAT.
Quebec to be Used as a Port. for Ship
ment.
Quebec, Aug. 18. President Van
Home, of tb Canadian Pacific railway,
has arrived home. He declines to speak
of the result of the European mission
Van Home states that Quebec is now to
be used by. the Canadian Pacific as a
port of shipment for Canadian grain to
England, since the enormous increase in
the wheat crop of the Canadian North
west will much more than exhaust
Montreal's terminal facilities.
Walla Walla's Wheat Quotations.
Walla Walla, Aug. 19. The wheat
market this morning opened in an unde
cided tone. The farmers felt confident
and raised the selling price to 80 cents
as minimum, while the buyers declined
to give quotations till they could hear
from the eastern markets. Offers were
made on the same basis as Saturday but
in nearly all instances were declined.
About noon local quotations were lowered
2 cents per bushel on. all grades, but
afterwards the market regained in tone
and sales were made on the basis of 76
cents for club and 78 cents for bluestem
per bushel. Some .offering were made at
vo(gb cents per Dusnei net, tot prime
bluestem. The aggregate sales today
did not exceed 100,000 bushels. The
railroads report no shipments as yet, as
the farmers are not far enough along
with the harvest to delivrr -wViant at sta
tions. Your correspondent interviewed
a number of farmers tms afternoon
They united in an expressian of faith in
the coming prices. Many believe wheat
will reach Si before September. More
who are heavilv in debt, express an in
tention to sell only enough to quiet their
creditors, ana hold the rest for the ad
vance, they feel sure will come.
Another Sealer Captured.
Washington, Aug. 18. Captain
Hooper, commanding the Corwin, re
ports to Captain Shepard, chief of the
revenue marine service of the treasury
department, under date of Onalaska
July 30, the capture near Seal islands
July 28th of the schooner Ethel from
San Diego, Cal. The Ethel was found
completely fitted for sealing with boats
guns, ammunition, salt, etc. She had
on board when captured, 181 salted fur
sealskins, twenty-nino fresh fur seal
skins, eleven unborn pup sealskins, two
sea otter skins, one hair sealskin and
200 pounds of . whalebone. Prior to
seizins the Ethel, Captain Hooper had
warned the vessel to leave and left
conies of the president s proclamation
to that enect. wiinin tnree nours
afterwards firing was heard from the
Ethel, and when the Corwin bore down
upon her the Ethel was in a school of
seals, and with lowered boats was
slaughtering them right and left.
Change in the Mexican Custom-House.
Washington, Aug. 18. Information
has been received of a very important
change made in the Mexican custom'
house regulations.- Under the old sys
tern all goods imported were subject to
to two examinations, one at the port of
entry, and another in the custom-house
where the goods were delivered. By the
rale just adopted the last inspection is
dispensed with, the goods thoroughly
examined upon their entrance into, the
country, sent to their destination with
due precautions, and delivered to con
signees upon presentation of proper doc-
uments.
Scarcely Commenced Coming In.
Salem, Ang. 18. The flurry in wheat
at Chicago bad no visible effect on the
market here.' About 3000 bushels were
received at "the mill today. Saturday
night the market advanced from 78 to
80 cents, at which figure it remains firm.
Ten thousand bushels were contracted
here at that figure Saturday. Wheat has
scarcely commenced coming in, and
there are no shipments out. The mills
consume all.

His eloquent and somewhat lengthy ora
tion was received with great applause.

plause. . He expressed pleasure and
gratification at l)eing present. It was

by 3000 people.
FEMALE COUNTERFEITERS.
They
Flood Memphis, Tenn., With
Counterfeit Dollars. -Memphis,
Tenn., Aug 18. This city
is flooded with counterfeit dollars. They
are of a perfect mold. Every bank in
the city has had them offered with other
money on deposit. Some tellers of long
experience has allowed them to pass un
noticed. They bear- the date of 1889.
Thecoins have a sticky feeling, like
soapstone very different from silver.
Many people have been deceived by
them. The perpetrators are supposed
to De two women, modestly attired, who
have made trifling purchases at several
places and. after paving for them in sil
ver, have asked that the dealers give
tnem 0111s tor ?iu or 510 in silver to re
lieve the weight in their pockets. The
United States authorities are making a
thorough search for the offenders.
The Convention Called to Order.
Harrisbubg, Pa., Aug. 19. The re
publican state convention was called to
order at 10 :40 this morning. A portion
of the speech of Temporary Chairman
Hall referring to James G. Blaine as
"that republican of republicans, that
leader of leaders," was vociferously
cheered. After selecting committees.
the convention at 12 o'clock took a re
cess until 2 o'clock.
Bimetalism is so regulated as to allow
the free coinage of all gold and silver
produced from American mines and so
guarded by tariff duties as to protect the
country and its currency from debase
ments. The platform denounces the un
scrupulous partisanship of Governor
Tii" 1 . j T , 1
raiuson in vetoing ine compulsory eau
cation bill.
TO QUIET THE INDIANS
Cavalry to be Sent to the Tongue River
- Indian Agency.
Washington, Aug. 18. Governor
Toole, of Montana, has informed the
acting secretary of war that in compli
ance with a petition of the citizens of
Custer county the cavalry detachment at
Tongue river is ordered from its .camp
there to the Indian agency on that river.
in tne opinion of military commanders
this force will be sufficient to guard the
nterests of both Indians and settlers.
Little Wheat lnthe Market.
La Gbande, Aug. 18. Harvesting has
has not yet commenced in the Grand
Ronde valley, consequently the Eastern
wheat boom has not affected this market
to any extent. Wheat is quoted at from
75 to 80 cents a bushel, an advance of
about 10 cents, but there is very little, if
any, of last year's crop in the country,
and this year's crop will not be ready for
the market in much less than thirty
days.
Shipbuilding Will be Delayed.
Eubeka, Calif., Aug. 19. A fire at
Benlixsen's ship yard early this morn
ing destroyed the mill used for sawing
ship timbers, ' the only mill of its kind
on Humboldt Bay. The loss will reach
125,000 or 40,000 and ship building
both at Benlixsen's and Maithew's
yards will be seriously delayed.
A Point Well Taken.
Judge Uncle, Eastus, I am very sorry
to see you brought before me on a charge
of attempted manslaughter.
Uncle Rastus Do de indictment say
manslaughter," Your Honor? Den I
objec' dat it am defective. Ifwas a
woman I tried terkill, sah. I 'ppeal to
the habious corpas, and take- advantage
of de techuumcalities 00 de law.
WILL REMAIN NEUTRAL.
Switzerland Refuges to Join a Commer
cial League.
London, Aug. 18. The failure of ne
tiations with Switzerland for a commer
cial league with Austria and Germany
has produced much disappointment in
Berlin, where it is felt that the failure
is due to the evident determination of
the majority of the Swiss to maintain a
neutral position in the existing differ
ences and difficulties and coming wars
of Europe. The proposition from the
first impressed the people of Switzerland
unfavorably. Thev have a traditional
repugnance to a ciose alliance 01 any
kind with Austria, and they fear the
power of Germany. France, toOj - has
many friends among the Swiss, and all
the stood out against a commercial union
with the two great German powers.
lne bwiss federal government has got
out of the matter as easily as possible,
conscious that a referendul would result -in
the defeat of the proposition, and in
the discredit of the government support-
it. It is expected that Austria and Ger
many will now confine themselves to
confirming and arranging the details of
their mutual agreement. Hungary has
an abundant harvest and will be able to
spare large quantities of grain for use in
Germany as soon as the treaty between
the two countries comes into operation.
ARRESTED AT LAST.
An Abscodlng Cashier Captured After
a Tear's Delay.
Mary's Landing, N. J., Aug. 18.
About a year ago the Merchant's bank
of Atlantic City, N. J., which had
branches in Elmira, Pleasantville and
Egg Harbor City, failed for nearly $100,
000. At that time the cashier, C. K.
Dunkle, was accused of wrecking the
bank by embezzling its funds, but he
escaped before he could be arrested.
He was fouud at a small village in Ala
bama, where he was cashier of a bank.
Owing to the legal obstructions, he has
never been arrested. Last evening,
after months of legal proceedings, ex
tradition papers arrived here for his ar
rest, and Sheriff Charles R. Lacy will
start tomorrow morning to arrest him.
When he was cashier of the Merchants'
he was one of the most prominent citi
zens, and his arrest caused a sensation.
Another Farmers' Alliance Convention.
St. Locis, Aug.- 19. The executive
committee appointed by the Fort Worth
farmers' alliance convention has issued a
circular to "members of the farmers' al
liance and industrial union and to farm
ers and laborers of the United States,"
calling a convention in St. Louis Sep
tember 15. The next convention is
called in accordance with a resolution
passed at the Fort Worth meeting in op
position to the sub -treasury plan. This
is an effort on the part of conservative
members and real farmers to emancipate
the farmers alliance from the control of
scheming politicians.
A Bloody Family Quarrel. .
Purvis, Miss., Aug. 18. A family
feud which is likely to prove a bloody
one opened here today. Jesse Lee and
William Boon, well-known citizens of
Purvis, met at a neighbor's house, and,,
without wasting any time in words, be
gan firing at each other. Boon was shot
twice through the heart, but before he
died and while lying on' the ground, he
succeeded in wounding Lee, who
escaped, but is thought to be fatally
shot. Family troubles caused the duel,
and, as each man has many connections
with fighting blood in their veins, it is
not thought that the trouble will end
here. .
Few Sales at l'endleton
Pendleton, Aug. 18. Wheat changed
hands here today at eighty cents. Al
though the price is exceptional, little
wheat, as a rule, is being sold. The far
mers seem to think the end is not yet.
Probably a stampede to sell will begin
this week. The yield is much larger
than expected in all parts of the county.
There will be shipped out of this county
this season, fully 2,000,000 bushels of
grain. Many mortgages will be paid off
this year, and the big returns for wheat
will have their enect.
An Important Railroad.
Ottawa, Ont., Aug. 18. Advices
from British Columbia state that the
proposed Pacific, Peace River, and
Hudson's Bay railway is to be gone on
with. The road is planned to run from
Port Simpson, on the Pacific, to Hudson
bay, connecting there with a line of
steamers. This plan, it is claimed, will
make a route between Europe and Asia
shorter by 1954 miles than the Canadian
Pacific and 2676 miles shorter than the
Central Pacific or San Francisco routes.
Farmers Still Holding Back.
. Eugene, Aug. 18. Inquiry among
the wheat dealers and farmers does not
reveal any material change in the wheat
market as a result of the Chicago boom.
Prices are somewhat stimulated and
probably two or three cents more would
be offered than last week, but no sales
are being made. Those who have wheat
to sell are holding for a still further rise.
No shipping is being done from this sta
tion. Threshing is now under way and
some grain is being delivered, but the
bulk is still in the field. Good yields
are reported.
Rev. Gilbert Elliott, D. D., the well
known English churchman, is dead.
He was born in 1800,'and was appointed
dean of Bristol in 1850 and had held the
office ever since.
