SHERMAN'S SILVER BILL DOOMED
The National Quarantine to Restrict
Immigration Will Pass.
A PPKOTKU BT TBI COMH1TTBK
I
Senator Kyle and Pefler Kzpeettoff I
to Act With the "I'lkiowB
Quantity."
Special to Thk CHKOHICI.B.
Washington, Dec. 10. Congress is
jogging along very quietly, careful of
making any breaks. The republican
members feel that it is not for them to
propose, and the democrats feel the
necessity for going slow on anything
new, and they appear to' be in doubt
alout some things that are not' new.
The republicans say the democrats are
waiting to ascertain Mr. Cleveland's
wishes before showing their hands.
There is at least one thing npon which
the Cleveland 'democrats and the Hill
democrats appear to be in perfect ac
cord. That is the repeal of the Sher
man silver law.' Senator Hill has' him
self introduced a bill in the senate for
its repeal, and a similar bill hasbeeu
introduced in the house by Representa
tive Williams, of Massachusetts, who is
one of the most ardent admirers of Mr.
Cleveland in congress. The- introduc
tion of these bills indicates that the
democrats expect nothing to be accoru-.
plished by the International Monetary
conference, and they are not alone in
that expectation.
If the talk of members is any indica
tion it seems safe to predict that-. Presi
dent. Harrison's recommendations con
cerning a further restriction of immigra
tion, and the establishment of a national
quarantine, will be acted upon at this
sessiou. A bill has been introduced ir
the house by a-democrat. to provide for
a national quarantine, and one in the
senate by a republican to suspend im
migration one year from next March.
This last bill is approved by both senate
and house immigration committees, and
will also be introduced in the bouse, so
that it can be pushed without, any un
necessary delay.
Senators Kyle and Peffer appear to be
fully alive to the importance of their
votes in the organization of the senate
of the 53d congress, and neither of them
will give' the slightest indication of
which party they intend to vote with in
the organization of the senate.' It is ap
parent, however, from their conversa
tion that they expect, with other third
party senators yet to be elected, to hold
the balance of power in the next senate,
anil that their intention is to insist upon
certain concessions from the party that
gets their votes. - ,
Secretary Foster's annual report, in
which tie shows, to his satisfaction, that
there should he a surplus, instead of the
predicted deficit, for the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1894, is not as comforting
as one would have supposed such infor
mation would lie to the democrats who i
are now engaged in preparing the bills i
carrying the appropriations for that year,
which, must be passed by the present
congress, for the very simple reason tiaf i
they do not accept the secretary's
figure. .
In a quiet way the speakership of the
next house is already exciting consider
able intej-est, and ii it shall soon he ap
parent that .. eprese-itative Hooker's bill
changing the time for congress to meet
from Decern ber to March stands a good
chance of lecoraing a law at this season,
that, interest will become all-absorhing.
Mr. Crisp is the only avowed candidate,
and he has the advantage of possession ;
but there are four gntieinen ; Wilson of
West Virginia; Bynuiti of Indiana; Mc
Millan, of Tennessee, and Breckenridije
of Kentucky;, any one of whom Inay
become a competitor, with the backing
of Mr. Cleveland.

A Hunting Kxpluit-
On Tuesday a hunting party com
posed of Messrs. W. E. Garretson, Hal
French, Deputy U. S. Marshal Jameson
and Railroad Eugineer Kelley, left the
city for the upper Colombia hunting
grounds near Squally Hook, about fifty
utiles from this place, on a bunting
spree for wild geese. They arrived at
their destination O K, and proceeded to
build blinds to shield . tbeiit from the
game as it flew past, and after tbey had
fairly secreted themselves comfortably
and were ready to'opeu their batteries
on the game, up came one of those wind
storms which that- locality is noted for,
and scattered ; their shelters and ' the
gunners unceremoniously. " They went
into consultation' and decided to croes-f
the river and try their luck on the oppo
site side, and took a small boat, put
their hunting paraphernalia aboard and
embarked, determined to have geese or
starve. The river was rough when they
started, but after they had reached the
middle of the 'stream, 'which is nearly a
half of a mile wide, it was rougher still
and the waves ran mountains high.
The water was too cold to think of a
bath on a December eve, so one of the
party, who was more accustomed to the
throttle than the oar, prayed the others
to return, which they did, resigned to
the ill luck that 'was theirs. The next
thing to do, as it was getting late, was
to look out for tbe train. In due time
it came along, and to their chagrin the
conductor fondly told them to wait for
the passenger train which, unknown to
them, was six or eight hours late.
They sought a sheltered nook and built
a fire and made the best of the situation
they could. ' Tired and hungry . they
waited and waited until the early morn
ing came, and the delayed train stopped
and brought them home yesterday about
9 o'clock u.. in., with nary a goose', but a
hungry set,

Fosil, Or., Dec2.-The Roslyn bank
robbery affair is the subject of the
hour and is talked of in every- place
from the peaceful fireside to the public
bar. From tbe stories in print about
George Zachary and others one is very
likely to form an erroneous idea of these
so-called bank robbers. The story about
Geo. Rose being convicted of cattle-stealing
and then being simply fined hardly
gives duo credit to our law-abidingcitizens.
The jury found Rose guilty all
right enough; Judge Bradehaw imposed
the sentence. W hile the general reputa
tion of these men is rather shady we
certainly object 13 having it said that
they ever influenced the administration
of justice through fear of them by the
officers, either local or county. All agree
that Sullivan made a "show" of himself,
in bringing a small army to capture
these ""outlaws." It shows that he took
council of a very foolish fear; at any rate.
A. A.' Bonney, butcher of The Dalles
is out at the Prairie ranch soliciting beef
cattle to feed on the " company's Tygh
valley ranch during the winter.
Bonds for twenty thousand dollars
have been raised in the community for
the release of Geo. Zachary and Cal.
Hale. In fact the people here will be
hard to convince that any sheepherder
wuuld be likely to have sand enough in
his craw to do ae daring a deed as the
Roslyn bank robbery certainly was.
Zachary and Kiinsy both follow herding
as a profession. Axon.

Another Freight Uatrafe.'
An Astoria dispatch today reports an
other outrageous proceeding of the TJ.
P. R. ''system," which occurred at that
place yesterday. It says the steamer
Homer, of the opposition line, was or
dered by the owners of the goods to take
on board 6,000 cases of salmon for Shu
Francisco, which have been stored r.n
the Union Pacific wharf for some time.
She was notified by the Union VacinV

to pay $500 before" being allowed to land
The officers of the Homer refused thi
demand, and the steamer dropped down
to tbe Main-street wharf. Drays were

Thursday, Dec. 15. The week has
been a repetition of the former in trade,
absolutely lifeless. The near approach
J of the holidays has pro ,.pted some little
activity in that line of business. The
Notion stores have made a tine display,
as also have those who deal, in jewelry
and such good, for Christmas and New
Year remembrances. Other than this
there is nothing doing. ;
The market for produce continues un
changed. One firm received today 125
sacks of potatoes from below, and other
dealers are receiving more or . less daily
from the same source. The reason for
this Is our farmers are holding fx.r--bet
ter prices, and decline to bring them in. .
This may be wise and it may not. ".
The egg and poultry market is station
ary, as -is the butter. There-:are no
changes in prices in anything but apples
which have advanced. Portland quota
tions are $2.00 per Ikx for prime that ai'a
clear of dry rot or codlin moth.
' The mild weather does not help the'
hay market, and offerings are more than
purchases, and prices are weak with no
indication of t-etter late in the season.
Oats are quite abundant and prices re
main the same. Barley has advanced
slightly, 75 to 80 cents is offered for clean
and good.
The grain market is weaker. Foreign
markets are dnll and nearly lifeless.
Some believe there will be a change for
the better after the holidays are over,,
and then an advanced will be realized.
Present home' quotations have certainly,
reached the bottom ; 63 cents for Walla
Walla in Portland is bottom, and sellers
are storing rather than let their hold
ings go. Iu The Dalles, prices range
faom 52 to 60 cents, and but little chang
ing hands at those fignres.
