STARTLING THINGS LOOKED FOR.
Lecture on Africa Sadden Civiliza
tion Will Sot Do Can be
Easily Taught.
San Antonio, Tex., March 22. John
P. Clum, United States postoffice in
b pec tor for the lower Rio Grande border,
where he went about two weeks ago to
investigate the charges that had been
perferred by A. J. Evans, United States
district attorney, against Postmaster
Pena, of Rio Grande City, who had been
accused of being a sympathizer with the
Garza revolutionary movement, has re
turned. Inspector Clum states that the
facts, as developed by his investigations,
do not indicate that Postmaster Pena
did in any manner aid, abet or sym
pathize with the Garza revolution. Mr.
Clam states that the situation in that
section is very serious, and that matters
are now in a much worse condition on
account of the unwarranted and illegal
action of Capt. John G. Bourke, of the
Third United States cavalry, than at any
time during the campaign : against
Garza's men. He states- that there has
been an attempt made by military
officers at oppression, in certain civil pro
ceedings, and that as a sequel one or two
startling developments may be looked
for in a few days. "The people are
afraid," said he, "because they don't
kpow what is going to happen next. In
my - judgment, considerable investiga
tion is needed in all of the Federal de
partments along the border."
Manly African.
New York, March 22. Mrs. M. French
Sheldon, the African traveler, delivered
her first lecture in this country last night,
at Chickering hall. She was greated by
a notable gathering of members of the
American Geographical society and their
friends, and for two hours led them with
her into the very heart of the dark con
tinent. She told her audience about her
laborious march from the coast to the
interior, and held them spell-bound
while she described her interview with
the fierce Masai, or the African bogie
man, and her adventurous descent to
lake Chala, nntil, with a sigh of relief,
they beheld her safely navigating its
waters on the frail pontoon, which had
been' brought with. the caravan. She
told of her hair-breadth 'scapes from
treacherous guides and natives, and on
the other hand her courteous treatment
by the chiefs of various friendly tribes.
The Rombos, in the neighborhood of lake
Chala, who had been considered . ex
tremely ferocious people, she found most
civil and eager to do her homage.. Mod
est, said the lecturer, was their only
covering, but their deportment was so
manly and their carriage so grand that I
grew to regard their color as abundant
clothing for them in their primitive sim
plicity. She denies that the natives are
lazy, and says that if they are given the
opportunity they can easily be taught to
weave native cotton. , But she also main.
tains that the bitter pill of sudden civi
lization must not be forced down their
throats. '.. - - .-
' Wasn't a Fool But be Bushed.
. Chicago, , March 22. Ex-Senator
Bowen, of Colorado, left his undervest,
containing a wallet with $13,000 in cash,
and papers" to the value of twice that
sum, in the Turkish bathrooms of the
Palmer house last evening. A colored
attendant named Watson found it and
handed the ' valuables to the cashier.
When a reporter, who heard of the story,
called on Bowen, the latter said
"Nonsense, I'm not fool enough to carry
that amount of money,", and just then
he clapped his hand to his side and, giv
ing a yell, rushed-for the office. He
was overjoyed to recover his property

Results of Stock Gambling. .
Philadelphia, March 22. The su
preme court has affirmed the decisien
of the court of common pleas of Phila
delphia county in favor of Mrs. Delia
Parnell, mother of the late Charles
Stewart Parnell, vs. administrator of the
estate of Charlotte . Smith. The facts
upon which the question arose are as
follows : In July, 1876, Charlotte Smith
deposited with Delia Parnell $4,538, to
be devoted, in her discretion, to specu
lation in stocks for the benefit and risk
of the owners The money was applied
Tn accordance to this understanding,
admittedly with good faith, but the
speculations were unsuccessful, and the
money was lost. Mrs. Parnell kept the
fact a secret, and attempted to retrieve
the losses by using her own money, re
mitting over $3,000 to Mrs. Smith, allow
ing her to believe the money was the
proceeds, from her own" investment.
After the death' of Miss Smith, her ad
ministrator brought suit to' recover the
fall amount entrusted to Mrs. Parnell.
The loss and the remittances stop her
from now showing that fact.
Bnssians Alarm Germany.
London, March 22. A Vienna corre
spondent says: "Gen. Gourko visited
St. Peterburc to confer with the czar on
a plain of action in the event of war with
Austria and Germany. At a conference
of - five hours, Grand Duke Vladimir,
Grand Duke Alexis, the minister of war,
the chief of staff, and other military -ex
perts were present. It was decided that
Gen. Gourko should assume the offensive
on. the Anstrio-German frontier, and
Gen. Schouvaloff command the defensive
army corps. Ihe recent movement of
the Russian troops has caused serious
alarm here.
Shocking Barbarities.
Philadelphia, March 221 When the
state board of charities meets at Hunt
ington tomorrow, most startling infor
mation will be laid before it, bearing up
on cruelties and barbarities inflicted
upon the' inmates of the Pennsylvania
industrial reformatory. The names of
eighty-three boys will be presented, all
of whom have been the victims of long
confinement in -solitary cells, and, in
most instances, whipped with water-
soaked leather straps while chained to
iron bars above their heads, or to the
floors. Some of the victims, it is charged,
were driven to insanity and attempted
suicide.
Germans Alarm Themselves.
London, March 22. A Berlin corres
pondent telegraphes that Seidlitz Trut-
schler has refused to withdraw his resig
nation. Caprivi has nob resigned, but
has placed his portfolio at the emperor's
order. .. Nothing will be settled in regard
to the trouble arising from the primary
education bill until the emperor returns
from Hubertustock at the end of tbe
week. The general opinion in official
circles seems to be there will be no alter
ation in Caprivi's position, nor is it be
lieved the Prussian diet will be dissolved.
Forcing . Conversions.
Vienna, March 22. A Lemberg paper
reports a serious uprising in eastern
Siberia, resulting from the forced , con
versions of Buddhists by Russian ortho
dox missionaries. Many Mongols have
migrated to China. Others armed
themselves, routed the missionaries
and compelled the Russian authorities
to take refuge in the fortress of Tiumen
The revolt is spreading over Tobolsk
and Tomsk.
Wrecked by an Earthquake.
San Francisco, March 22. A dis
patch to the Merchants' ' Exchange this
morning says the British steamer West
Indian, on her return trip from Chili for
San Francisco, went ashore yesterday at
Acajuta, San Salvador, and is a total
loss. Tbe crew and part of the cargo
were saved. The dispatch further states
an earthquake was the cause of the
disaster. - -- - . ' . ,

OREGON" SENATORS FEELING GOOD.

River and Harbor Bill.
A VERT NARROW VIEW BY SQUIRE.
Vo
te of the Senate on tbe Bills Work
Mast Be Done Before the Money
is Available.
VASHixGTox,March 22. The senate
today passed, without any debate, ex
cept an argument from Senator Frye
pon the Columbia river. Senator -
Dolph's bill making a lump appropria
tion for the completion of the cascades
improvement. Under the contract sys
tem in the river and harbor bill this
will render Senator Dolph's bill inoner-
ative, but there is a possibility that
senator Mitchell may secure the adop
tion of his bill as an amendment to the
river and haibor bill in the senate. If
this is done a great work will be accom
plished fcr the Columbia river. The
votes for these improvements were prac
tically unanimous, onlv four beinir
against one and eight against the other.
Ihe Oregon senators are feelintr verv
good over the victory. Senator Squire,
although he voted for the bills, seemed
to think that Oregon was eettinsr the
best of it. He said he thoucrht it WAR
about time Washington should receive
some consideration, as the shore line
along Puget sound and other places were
immensely ot more importance commer
cially than the Columbia river. Al
though the Columbia river divided
Washington and Oregon, and even if it
should be opened up so that the wheat
of Eastern Washington could go down
the Columbia river, it would be of some :
benefit to the eastern part of the state,
yet it was of commercial interest only to "
Portland. Dolph's bill appropriating
$l,745,8i6 to secure an early completion
of the canal and locks at the cascades on .
the Columbia passed by a vote of 46 to
4, Berry, Kyle, Pugh, and Vance con
stituting the minority. Mitchell's, bill.
appropriating $2,800,356 for a railway
ana necessary marine apparatus and -appliances
at the dalles, Celilo falls and
Ten Mile rapids, and the improvement
at Three Mile rapids, passed by vote of
38 to 8. The senate then adiourned.
War Ships in The Tactile.
San Diego, March 22. The cruiser
Yorktown entered the harbor today and -
cast anchor, having come direct from
Callao, which port she left March 4. She-'
will leave for San Francisco tomorrow.
Commander Evans states the cruiser
Boston is also on the way up, but is stop
ping at all Central American and Mexi
can ports and is expected to arrive here-
within five or six days. Captain Evans
also reports the French man-of-war
Champlain and the . English flagship
Warsprite are to be expected here with
in five Or six days. The Champlain will
remain here for some time. Captain "
Evans refers to the assault of the Balti
more sailors as a dastardly outrage- on
American citizens, and says',' had his.
men been assaulted, he would have
opened fire on Chili.
Heppner Affairs.
Heppnek, Or., March 22. At a mass
meeting of citizens today the school
board was authorized to incur an in
debtedness of $8,000 in excess of the $3,
000 now available for building the new
schoolhouse. The fine rains have fresh
ened up the surrounding country within
the past" few days. 1 Engineer Oliver's
report to the city council on the water
I works was received, stating the approxi
mate cost of the reservoir and piping to
be $18,751. A special election will be
called at an early date, , at which time
the matter of bonding the town will be
submitted.

amination, committed on the charge of

followed a very severe spell of the grip.
