San Fhascisco, April 15. The steamer
Alameda, which arrived yesterday morn
ing from Australia, bronght details of
the Deeming murders. - Nothing since
the early days of the settlement of West
Australia has so stirred the colony to its
depths. The victims of his villainy and
murderous crimes are numerous. The
remains of the wife which he murdered
at Windsor, southeast of Melbourne,
were found cemented in the walls of the
house in which they had lived together.
He was then passing under the name of
Drew, and was apparently of sporting
proclivities, dressed in the height of
fashion, bedecked with diamonds, and
carried himself with the air of a lord.
He was traced to the steamer Kaiser
Wilhelm, where he was identified as
Albert Williams. Eight days after the
crime Williams sought' another victim,
through a matrimonial agency in Mel
bourne, and went on by steamer. On
the voyage he made desperate love to a
young lady passenger, Miss Katie
Rounsefell, of Bathurst. " His manner
captured the heart of the passenger, and
when they arrived at Sydney she had
promised to become his wife. He was
then traveling under the name of Baron
Swanson, and in glowing terms pictured
to her his vast handsome revenue, and
made glorious promises for their future.
Step by step the detectives traced him,
aided in their search by his ostentatious
display of diamonds and general bearing,
and his love entanglement with Miss
Rounsefell eventually led to his capture.
At Sydney, Swanson was identified asl
Albert Deeming, and eventually the
record of the man under the names of
Deeming, Baron" Swanson, Drew, Wil
liams and Lawson were made bare to
rthe world.- His last victim,' whose es
cape from a murder- such as had been
visited upon previous ones, is the prin
cipal witness in the' case against him
now. She was only a country girl of 19,
and never doubted the sincerity of
Deeming's motives.. In a Utter to her
sister the unfortunate girl says: "I
suppose you know all the news now." I
am so weary of nothing but reporters
and artists for papers. I think- every
one sympathizes with me,' but I was
very unfortunate. I will, no doubt, get
work h'ere, and then perhaps "might see
you again, but I will never return. Per
haps, dear Liz, it would be better for
you to change our now notorious 'name
under my picture "The Intended Vic
tim." - I suppose they will put me in
the wax works. , Every one wants to
take us about, but I don't like- leaving
the house. Every shop has flaring news
of the Windsor murder, and under every
gas jet stands a crowd reading. In all
the railway carriages and tram-cars I
hear nothing but the same thing. What
a mockery are my wedding .clothes. I
was looking at them last night."

Chicago, April 16. Young Jo Kasper
has been locked up for violating an in
junction secured by his father, Frank
Kasper,' enjoining Jo from interfering
with the premises 1002 West 18th street.
The father is 70 years of age and when
his wife was down with typhoid fever,
went to the house and assaulted his
father and prevented his sisters and
brothers from visiting the old people.
Jo denied the charges, but the court
decreed his defense too weak to save
him from punishment.
. ' Conffreaa Tmkea no Stock. '
Chicago, April 16. The Columbus
fair directors returned from Washington
yesterday, and said they were - not long
in the National capital before they dis
covered congress would not vote money
for the stock in the exposition. There
fore they changed their tactics and in
formed the committee . a loan would be
accepted. "Not having time to consult
the committee, we did what we thought
best," said Winston. '
Will Want.to Sea the Cruisers. .
Portland, April 16. The plan is
about perfected for bringing the -American
war ships Baltimore and Charleston
up to Portland, after the Columbia cele
bration at Astoria next month.. The
plan includes excursion rate's over all
the railways and steamers leading to
this city, and it is expected 20,000 people
will flock here on the days to be fixed".
When the Oregon, is launched it will be
incumbent on the people of Portland to
present her officers' mess with a silver
service, second to none in the navyr and
the Oregon will hava to come up to
Portland in order that the presentation
may be properly made. She will be a
magnificent ship and the whole state
will want to inspect her, but there will
also be a desire to see the Charleston
and especially, the Baltimore, which
came so near, to having to teach' the
Chilians a lesson, on account of the mur
der of some of her crew in Valparaiso.
Moving Into Portland.
Poetxajjd, April 16. When the West
Side railway was constructed, .years ago
out of this city, it took such a zigzag
course as to leave Beavertpn and Hills
borough eleven to eighteen miles farther
from the city than they really are, and
it is-feported that one time soon after
Conductor Webster came on the line he
was asked to bring a sick man into the
city, and that the person with the sick
man would meet the train at Morrison
street and again take the invalid in his
Dggy driving in ahead of the train.
This distance is now to be cut down by
a moter line direct from Portland to
Hillsboro to be of standard gauge, and
perhaps form a link in the connection
with Astoria. The distance from Port
land to Beaverton by this line will be
only about five myes, while by the
Southern Pacific line it is eleven miles.
A line of this kind would make both
Beaverton and Hillsboro suburbs of
Portland.
Blaine's Same at Minneapolis.
San Francisco, April 16. "I think
Blaine wrote that recent letter, stating
he would not be a candidate, while he
was in poor spirits, superinduced by ill
health," said Mike De Young, member
of the national republican committee, to
a friend who met him on his return from
the east yesterday. - Mr. De Young
added : "Blaine will not make a can
vass for the nomination, but if the peo
ple insist on his running he will submit
to popular will. I had a chat with the
secretary about the matter, and he spoke
of his age: I replied that if he were
able to perform the onerous "duties of
secretary of state he was surely .capable
of attending the presidential tasks." '
. Woolverine SUeTlir In Trouble.
Detroit, April 16. An investigation
has been made of the official conduct of
Dennin Heffren, sheriff of Schoolcraft
county and brother of the notorious Dan
Heffren; who made such- a sensational
escape from Manistique, after being con
victed of keeping a disreputable . house.
He is charged by supervisor Hubbell and
treasurer Mesereau of the Chicago lum
ber company with misfeasance and mal
feasance in office, and the charges-allege
that be allowed Dan to run the house,
refused to lock him up when bound over
for trial and assisted him to" escape.
Also that he allowed prisoners in his
custody to visit saloons on Sunday.
Scandalous Report.
Columbus, O.,- April 15. A twght ses
sion jn the house of representatives
broke up'in a row at 10 o'clock tonight.
A number of the members desired to at
tend a prizefight at the Corumbus Ath
letic club, and though in "the." minority,
planned to force an adjournment, in or
der that they might do so. - Rep.
Dougherty who was a party to it, was
in the chair and recognized the motion
to adjourn -and refusing to notice the
demands for the yeas and nays, declared
the motion to adjourn on a viva voce.
Pandemonium reigned for a time, ending
in a disgraceful scene. - ;

Cotton Spinner's Strike.
London, April 15. The prospect is
that the cotton lockout will be of short
duration, as employers will hold a meet
ing Tuesday to decide the question of
arbitration ; the struggle is unparalelled
in the history of trade, as 65,000 hands
are now idle, and will soon be increased
to 150,000. -- - . '..

Capt. McDoagall to Release tlie Fetters
Which Have Compelled Heavy
Kates. Other Neivs..
West Superior, April 16. The ship
yard of the American steel barge com
pany now -presents -a scene of great,
activity.' In it there are today ten
whalebacks in the course of construc
tion, besides a special tug. The small
est of the whalebacks is 320 feet long.
The two of them which are nearing com
pletion are steamers numbered 119 and
120. It is expected that both will be
launched on the same day before May
1st. . Capt. McDougall said today that
the company . has much more work
ahead, chief of which will be the con
struction of one, and probably-a second
boat for the Columbus fair, the first
attempt to make a passenger ship, on
the whaleback model. The total lengths,
of the boats now under construction, or
under contract is one mile. . The big dry
dock, work on which commenced last.
December, is all completed except the
timbers and gates. It will be finished
by July 1st. The dock is 551 feet long,
much the longest on the lakes, and will
be able to. hold two large vessels at once.
As soon as the whalebacks now on the
stocks are launched, two more will be
placed where they now stand. Work on
the passenger boat is already under way,
and the draughtsmen are busy getting
out plans for her. -
Again Denied.
Washington, April 16. The rumor is.
again denied that it is the purpose of
this government to gradually cease-their
diplomatic relations with- Chili. No
claim for indemnity on account of the
attack on American sailors has been
made of the Chilian government yet. .
The question is being reserved for future,
consideration.
"Blaines Laat Surrender."
-New York, April 16. The London
daily Graphic, referring to the settle
ment of the complication between the
United States and . Italy," speaks of it as
"Blaine's last eurrender." The Timet
says: "Upon a great Christian anni
versary like Good' Friday, it is often
difficult to find in the records of current -events
anything that ' very distinctly -shows
the influence of Christianity upon
international conduct. Today, however,
we have to chronicle what is, at least,
oneof the most henign and gracious,
forms of diplomatic action." ' -
Sallal in tucl:.' .
Astoria, April 16. Capt. J, W. Man
son, of Point Adams light, has won con
siderable notDriety from his amateur
work as the maker of violins - of a high
order. Several years ago he secured a
prize in a block of wood which had been
"seasoned" for ages near the lighthouse,
and the thin little boards sawn from it
give forth the clear, mellow ouud that
is desired in violin sfock. Gemunder,
the New York maker of violins, was in
Portland recently, and secured some of
the wood.
Only si Question of Short Time.
Victoria, April 16. Capt. Winant's
steamer Mystery, which is engaged to
take off the skins secured by the vessels
now at Bebring sea, has- returned and
the total catch to date received at "Vic
toria is reported to be 4,560 skins. This
is regarded as a light catch and attribu
ted in part to the 'bad weather, bat,
mainly to the fact that seals are reported
to be much less numerous than in former
years.
Thl .Thing- Won't Work.
Detroit, April 15. There is consider
able comment in ' political circles over
the absence of Gen. Alger from the re- .
publican state convention yesterday. It
had been announced that he would ad
dress the conventionand his friends say
he was ready and waiting, but he wasn't
invited. They consider that the general
has been badly snubbed at his own
home, and as a result the breach between
the Palmer and, Alger faction continues .
to grow wider. - !
