lake Washington ; that we condemn the
action of the democratic house of repre
sentatives in refusing an appropriation
for the opening of the Columbia river,
and the Washington ship canal ; and
that we most heartily approve the course
of Senators Allen and Squire and Re
presentative Wilson in their advocacy
of these measures ; -tha we ' are heartly
in favor of the speedy opening to settle
ment of the Puyallup and other Indian

ment was carried by a vote of 207 to 164.
. ' Settling Old Chilian Claim.
Washington.- Aug. 11. Minister
Egan has definitely agreed with the
Chilian government upon a convention
for the settlement ' of the unadjusted
claims of . the citizens of the United
States .against '.Chili. .by. means of "a
claims commission to meet at. Washing
ton. ' This action chronicles a satisfac
tory termination of a long-pending ne
gotiation. No general claims conven
tion has heretofore ever been celebrated
with Chili, and the claims of American
citizens date back for -more than , half a
century,, though a large portion have
their origin in the recent Chilian-Peruvian
. war. Much' satisfaction - is ex
pressed by the state department.

Major Hand bury lias Received a tittle
- Light from Headquarter.
Krom th Oregonlan.l ' -
-. In reply to bis note of inquiry to the
chief of engineers as to the manner in
which the contract for work on the cascades-locks
is to be ; let, Major Hand
bury has been informed that the secre
tary. of war has decided 'that the act re
quires contracts to .- be entered into for
the completion of each work to which
they relate, and . to the full amount of
the estimate upon which lbe.appropria
tion is based. . ,:-. ;
In the judgment of the department it
was rhe intention of congress to have the
entire work of improving the canal - at
the cascades of the Columbia river- ad
vertised at once, .and so derive all the
benefit that-coUld be obtained by the
successful contractor's having the assur
ance that he would hold the work to its
completion: But while the whole- work
is to 5e contracted for at one time, it is
not expected that tho contractor will
anticipate the action of congress by per
forming work in excess of the appropria
tions that may be made from time to
time; unless he prefer to do so. A pro
ject for the improvement, with specifi
cations covering the entire work and the
order and time, in which it should"-be
done, is to be submitted. -
The appropriation iu the" last "river
and harbor bill for the locks is $326,250.
The amount that could be expended, to
good advantage during the fiscal year
ending June 30th, 1894, as estimated by
Major Handbury, is $1,419,250.
' The clerks in Major Handbury's office
have been employed in preparing the
plans and specifications "for the work,
but it will still be some' little time be
fore they can ..be : completed. It will
probably be necessary to advertise for
bids for about two months, as tho work
is one of great magnitude and larsre
contractors from the cast will wish . to
come-here and look over the ground be
fore submitting : bids. They will also
require time, to get bids from sub-contractors
for the gates, etc., before they
can - bid intelligently on this whole
work. The new eight-hour law will also
figure in the matter, and will probably
increase the cost of the work 20 per
cent. .' . -
It is not likely that the work on the
locks will be started up nearly so soon
under the new arrangement as .it
would under the old, but the greater
speed with which it will be pushed. to
completion is what is looked upon to
count. - ' -
- Tragfe Affair.
. - Patterson,; J., Aug. 11. Patrick
Quinn, Western Union operator at Dela
ware station, who was shot by Hattie
Acres in the telegraph office, lies in the
hospital in this city in a critical con
dition. He has refused to make any
statement except to -say he will -not
prosecute Miss Acres, as she had cause
to shoot him. He admits he had prom
ised to marry her and wronged her.
Miss Acres is in custody pending the re
sult of Quinn's injuries. She denies
she . attempted suicide after the
shooting, - by poison. After firing the
two shots at Quinn, she handed him the
smoking pistol and told him to shoot
her, as she did not want to live. Miss
Acres is an attractive young woman, 22
years of age, and belongs to a respect
able family of Cresco, Pa. ..

. Kesnlt of Being In Hurry. .
Washington, Aug.' 11. -Considerable
disappointment is felt at the postoffice;
department over the unexpected omis
sion from the sundry service bill of an
appropriation of $5,000 which has been
asked for to enable the sixth auditor's
office of the treasury department, which.
audits postmaster's accounts, to employ
20 people for six months, at the rate of
$500 per year, to assort - several million
paid money orders which have accumu
lated and-are accumulating in the Office, .
and which, in their present state, pre
vent the settlement of thousands of
postmasters' accounts. .The fact that no
provision has been made for their em
ployment was not discovered until yes-,
terday, when it was found necessary to--rescind
all action in this respect.

The New Cruiser Marblehead.
Washington, Aug. 12. It has been
determined by the navy department
who shall christen the cruiser Marble- -head
to be launched at Boston today
The duty will devolve upon Mrs. Chas.
H. Allen, wife of one of the contractors
of the vessel. . There has been some dis
pute as to the propriety of having a mar- .
ried woman' christen the vessel,' The
usual custom has been to have the duty
performed by a young maiden, but in
view of the fact that tho two naval ves
sels, the Baltimore and Raleigh, were
christened by married ladies, precedents'
are regarded as no longer binding.
