Washington, March 20. The contract
system of public improvement for the
waterways is becoming very popular,
after being tried successfully in " two or
three places In the last river and har
bor bill, the Sault St Marie improve
ments and the Galveston harbor were
put under the contract system. .The
river and harbor bill, which has recently
been practically completed, will place
the Mississippi river improvements un
der the contract system, also the deep
water channel system of the great lakes,
as well as the Hudson river and the
Mobile; Ala., harbor improvements.
This is a matter of great importance, as
it insures the continuation, of these
works, whether a river and .harbor bill
should pass or not, as an appropriation
will, be made in the regular bills for
these improvements from year to 'year.
The people of The Dalles have often
asked that the contract system be applied
to the construction. of the cascade locks.
It id hoped now the effort tnav be suc
cessful. - - - .

Washington, March 21. Bank Ex
aminerJRTi.H Heald, for Oregon and
Washington, and receiver Chase, of the
Spokane National bank, will be bounced
out of office. 'Charges were made against
them Borne time ago by the members of
the Washington delegation, and recently
one of the best experts . of the comp
troller's office in Washington was sent
out to Washington to investigate. It is
not yet known who will be appointed to
Heald's position. Mr. Bird, of Tacoma,
has been recommended for the receiver
ship at Spokane. The bank examiner
will have to be indorsed by both Wash
ington and Oregon as that is his district.
The receiver will probably be appointed
upon the recommendation of the Wash
ington delegation. ' : . .
A Row Imniineiit. .
' New Yobk',' March 21. There is a
large amount of talk about the' prospect
of a Drayton-Borrowe duel. : It is stated
that Drayton's brother ' and two of his
influential friend8"re authority for the
statement that Drayton does not know
of the recent developments of the case.
The result is that the friends of both
Drayton and Borrower, chartered, tugs
today, and as soon as the Majestic is
sighted there will be a race down the
bay for the steamship. ". The Drayton
tug will-contain his brother,, two Phil
adelphia friends and a number of prom
inent New Yorkers. On the Borrow e
tug will be - a crowd of his friends.
Drayton's brother, it is said, proposes to
inform him of all that has occurred.
If hostilities are. not indulged in then,
Drayton may have something to tell his
enemy. Borrowe's . friends propose to
put him on his guard, and they may
clash with the Dray ten faction while do
ing so. It is expected that a very
lively row will take place on the Ma
jestic on her way to this city from the
lower bay, as the result of the people on
the two tugs getting aboard her. .
. Borne Rale for Scotland.
" London, March 21. All - the liberal
members from Scotland and many Eng
lish members, including some conserva
tives, approve the bill introduced in par
liament on Saturday for the creation of
a Scotttsh legislative body. ' The bill
will attract general attention, owing to
its similarity to the Irish question. . The
bill establishes in Scotland a legislature
consisting of the queen and a Scotch leg
islative body, to enact laws for Scotland,
with the exception of jnattersv relating
to the imperial administration all bills
passed require assent of the queen to-be-,
come a la w in a question of jurisdiction
between the English and.Scottish bodies.
the matter is to be referred to the judic
ial committee of the privy- council ; the
legislature is authorized to impose taxes,
other than customs or excise duties, and
create a consolidated fund separate from
that of the United Kingdom ; Scottish
contributions to maintain corporal es
tablishments shall be proportionate to
those payable by England and. Wales.
The second portion of the .bill treats of
the - judicial government and provides
that all existing civil and criminal courts
shall be maintained, Subject, however,
to . abolition or alteration, and judges
may be removed by the legislatures on a
requisition from the queen to do . so.
The bill provides that the power and
authority of '. the " Imperial parliament
shall not be diminished or restrained by
anything herein contained : The pres
ent bill is worthy of comparison to Mr.
Gladstone's first home rule bill. -
"' " ChJcmgro .Boodle.
Chicago, March 21. The Tribune
gives a list of the alleged boodle transac
tions by the city council. It includes
$260,000 for the Northern Pacific fran
chise, and $700,000 for other franchises,
some of which the -paper professes to
have evidence to prove were given.
President Oakes, of the Northern Pacific,
denies that hia road is in" any way. con
nected with the scandal. He speaks of
the alleged bribery of the Chicago coun
cil by the Northern Pacific at a gross ex
aggeration, and not only that, but an
absurdity. There is not a word of truth
in the entire story.
' British Mutineers. ,
Vancouver, B. C. March 21. An in
cident that will prdbably result in a
man-of-war having to make a trip home
occurred here Saturday. This port be
ing within easy access of United States
soil, it has been the rule that every iron
clad of old England that anchors here
suffers from an epidemic of deserters.
This has resulted m a standing reward
being offered to any police, officer' who
returns a deserter to the man-of-war.
Today Chief of Police McLaren and
Officer McLeod took five men on board
the Daphne who had been arrested for
desertion.' . The putting of these men in
irons enraged the sailors, . who made an
attack on the chief of police after the
other officer had descended the-ladder.
The chief defended himself, but a blow
from a stalwart able seaman felled him
to the deck like a log. - McLoed rushed
up the ladder again to defend his chief
and was felled - by "a- swabbing-brush.
The officers,. -with the assistance of the
marines, drove back the mutineers, who
refused to listen to orders until forced to
do so at the point of the bayonets of the,
marines. After a determined struggle
the mutineers were overcome and ironed.
The case has no parallel in the history
of the British,: squadron, and the local
authorities have waived the right of
punishment to the captain .of the
Daphne.' -The mutineers will have to be
sent home to England to put in "at least
five years." Both the police officers are
seriously injured. It is creditably re
ported that word has been . sent to
Esquimalt for a sister ship to come over
to lay alongside in case of further trou
ble, it being feared that a general mutiny'
will follow, as the men will all have
completed their term in May, and are
consequently reckless. -
Telegraphic Flashes.
At a special election held in Arlington
on the 19th the city council was allowed
to contract an indebtedness of $10,000
for a water and electric light plant.
The striking employes of the Canadian
Pacific are becoming somewhat demon
strative. H. G. McMicken, the Great
Northern agent for the Canadian Pacific
train between Winnipeg and the boun
dary, was greeted with a 6hower of eggs
at Morris on Friday last, by a gang of
the - strikers.- Another official was
smeared with tar 'and had to protect
himself with a pistol. Both sides de
clare, that they will not give in and the
railroad people sav they can replace the
siriKers in tew aays.
The mine owners at Cceur - d'Alene
have decided to resume work all through
that rich section, as the railroads have
restored old rates on ore shipments that
make resumption possible. About 2,000
miners who left, the camp, will back in
a week or two. As Cceur d'Alene silver
and lead production is a factor in fixing
the price of. .those metals, the smelters
all over the country were at a loss to find
enough wet ores to. run their plants, af
ter shipments .ceased a few months ago.

STILL SOME HOPE FOK THE DALLES
The KUllon Congress Nearly Equalled
- All ror Works of National
Importance.
Washington, March 21. You may
give Representative Hermann credit for
securing the greatest results, under the
circumstances, ever yet secured. The
river and harbor bill is now completed
and is ordered reported to the house. .
The total allowance now for Oregon is
$1,170,000 and nearly equals that of the
"billion dollar congress," although the
aggregate of the present bill, is about
$20,214,000 or less than that of the last
bill as it was reported from the river and
harbor cpmmittee. Then it was $20,
932,445. The state of Washington re
ceives an aggregate allowance of $84,000,
as against $19,000 of last congress. The
canal and locks at the cascades of the
Columbia receives nearly $500,000 and is
placed under the contract system for
completion, the secretary of war being
authorized to contract for the whole
work, for which $1,310,000 is estimated,
exclusive of the sum now allowed in the
present bill, which becomes immediate
ly available. Theame language is used
as applies to the works at Galveston,
Baltimore and Philadephia harbors and
the Sault Ste Marie canal, etc. Under
the contract system it is expected that -ships
can . pass through the, cascade
canal and locks of the -Columbia within
two years.. r Mr. . Hermann made, a -gallant
and very persistent as well as
discreet struggle for the concession to
his state. He firmly insisted that if like
privileges were bestowed on any other
great works of the nation, it must be
understood that the cascade locks.fihould
be counted in. He stubbornly resisted
any other arrangement, and the results .
of his arguments have proven that he
not only deserves approbation at home
but promotion in Washington.

The ltnlldog and Lynx Fight.
Carson, Nev., March 20. The bull
dog and lynx fight came off today at the
race track sonie.tiine before the adver
tised hour in order to evade.the officers,
who were to be on hand to stop the pro
ceedings. The instant the animals saw
each other the lo :k was deadly." The
bulldog took hold on the Tight foreleg,
and held on until the lynx died. The '
fight lasted nearly an hour. The dog
was frightfully torn by itsatagonist, and
bled profusely. Afterwards he broke
away and cleared out a nnmher of dogs
in Chinatown. Only a few spectators'
were present, owing to the rushed pro
ceedings. - .- V - . .
