Paris, Dec. 15. At a cabinet meeting
today Bourgeois, minister of justice, an
nounced that he would interpose in the
chamber of deputies the proposal of
Boisseriu to invest the Panama investi
gation commission with judicial powers
In the chamber of deputies the govern
ment demanded the immediate discus

Brisson, president of the Panama com
mittee, strongly urged the committee be
invested wjtli ; jndicial powers, and at
tacked Ribbt,' the new premier, and
Bourgeois, minister of justice, in severe
language for: opposing the proposition.
Bourgeois answered in a firm, temperate
tone, giving his reasons against Boisser
in's proposals. - "Upon a division the
government was supported 424 to 122,
UiKn the conclusion of the debate the
chamber, 271 to 265, refused to discuss
the Boisserin clauses.. ' This is tanta
mount to a vote of confidence in the
government.
Mrs. Farnell's Bankruptcy.
London, Dec. -15. The. bankruptcy
case of Mrs. Parnell, widow of Charles
Stewart Pamela, was again in- "court to
day for a decision as to whether . it was
necessary to examine Mrs. Parnell pub
licly regarding her assets and liabilities.
The court decided a public examination
was unnecessary. The official receiver
in bankruptcy is the trustee of Mrs. Par
nell's property.
TRACED TO ITS SOCBCK.
The Union Pacific Remonstrance Against
an Open River.
The Chronicle is in possession of a
copy of the Union Pacific Railway Com
pany's Remonstrance against an open
Columbia river. "The hidden hand of
the cloven footed monopoly" ' is now
very clearly revealed. This remon
strance is sent out by Portland attorneys
of the Union Pacific railway. . The copy
we have came direct, and was placed
in our hands by the "trjsjety" to-: whom
it was sent. Following is a verbatim
copy of it:
To the Senators and Representatives of
the Seventeenth Legislative Assembly
of Oregon : . .
"We, the undersigned residents and
taxpayers of Oregon, respectfully pre-
! sent to your honorable hjody the follow
ing facts for your careful consideration :
"The opening of, the Columbia river
at the dalles by canal or ship railway, so
as to secure for the interior country
easy and cheap transportation to tide
that
the congress of the United States for
appropriations to secure a free river
from Astoria to the navigable sources of
the Columbia and its tributaries, and
demand that our senators and represent
atives in congress give thistoatter their
earnest attention."
It starts off very plausibly, and reads
Binoothly enough to capture the ordinary
"resident and tax payer" who rarely
reads beyond the fifth line of any docu
ment of this character presented to him
for signature. If it were headed "Re
monstrance," that its true character
might be revealed ; it would not be so
successful. -But it will be observed that
that precaution has been studiously
avoided. "
Read it carefully through. Analyze it.
The 3d paragraph disposes of the "de
mand" in the 2d paragraph completely,
by asking that the improvement "be
done at the expense of und by the gen
eral government." They would have
history repeat itself, and delay the dalles
project lor the next twenty years, as has
been the case at the cascades.
The 4th paragraph is answered by
the splendid results of the past two sea
sons, following the completion of .the
stale portage railway at the cascades. '
The 5th paragraph is completely set
aside by the evidence of scenes at Dalles
city during the past two seasons of grain
and wool shipments. The farmer living
within from 20 to 40 miles of this city
deems it no hardship to haul to this
place for shipment, since the Regulator
line of steamboats was placed on the
river in connection with the cascade
portage, built by the state,. and made it
possible for theiu to ship their products,
The facts show for themselves. Ship
ments from The Dalles this vear doubled
over the shipments of last year, in both
wheat and wool,' while shipments of
fruit have trebled, and live stock , ship
ments have vastly increased, at a less
rate of " freight which has saved the
farmer $2.50 per. ton on all shipments,
and from $5.00 to $7.00 per head on
horses and other, stock; pearly if not
quite reimbursing the state treasury for
its investment in.. -the portage railway
Tbese are stubborn facte. Ponder over
them. ' v . ' , - f ' ;'
So far as the bth paragraph Is con
cerned, it is a mass of buncombe. . The
existing state of things at the cascades
proves beyond the shadow of a doubt
what would be the results of state aid at
the dalles. When ' the appropriation
was made at Salem two years ago there
was not a living human being this side
of Washington City who believed, or
bad a single idea to predicate a hope
upon : that the general government
would hasten . its steps to carry on to
completion the long-delayed work at
the cascade locks.
The little portage 'railway, built by
the state, accomplished a mission in
that respect. There is now some assur
ance that the string of red tape is hrok
en, and the locks and canal contract is
awarded, with a prospect of the final
completion at an et-rly . day. Not later
than July 1st," 1894. So much for that.
Finally, we believe that if the coming
assembly make au appropriation for the.
dalles-portage next month, it will have
the effect of hastening congress in the
matter of a canal at the dalles, which is
practically what must come in course of
time. -

Brussels, Dec. 15. The committee

projects submitted to the conference,
have adopted a report in which -they
state, in considering the various propo
sals submitted, to" them, thev confined
themselves to a study . of the general
principles and did not discuss the details
necessary to cive the several proposals

and against the different plans, the re
port concludes : "Having regard for the
fact that the conference is not yet pro
nounced on the general question,' the
committee do not feel satisfied in taking
a vote upon the projects referred to
them, or attempting to formulate a coin-

FRENCH'S BLOCK.
171 SECOND STREET. : : THE DALLES, OR.
people of Eastern Oregon demand that
steps be taken by your honorable body
to secure the desired result at as early a
date as possible.
. "We also ask that the improvements
for opening the river at the dalles be
done 'at the expense of and by the gen
eral government, for the following rea
sons :
"Astheseveral states of Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho are directly interested
it would be unjust to ask our state to
burden its taxpayers with an interest
paying debt of UiOre than one million
dollars, to open and maintain a free
river.
"From the dalles to Wallula the Col-
! umbia river is the dividing line between
Oregon and Washington, an '. the ara' le
and producing luu-.sof Eastern Oregon
lie from twenty to forty miles from the
river between these two points; there
fore to reach the Columbia river shippers
would have to use existing lines of rail
roads or build new ' lines at a heavy
ex penee, so that the removal of the ob
structions at the dalles would benefit
Oregon less than it would the sinter
states of Washington and Idaho.
.."We, the undersigned, also believe
that any temporary road that might be
built around the dalles, at present,
w ouln be of little value to the produc
ers of Eastern Oregon, and would delay
permanent improvements for many
years. - -
American Corn In Germany.
Hamburg, Dec. 15. Another mill has
been started in ' this city for ' grinding
Indian corn exclusively. This is the
third of the kind now running. The es- ,
tablishment of the mills is due to the
efforts of Charles Murphy,' special agent
of the United States agricultural de
partment, who was sent to Europe to .
work up the use .there of corn as a food
product. : .
Failure of the French Rifle.
Berlin, Dec. 15. A Paris correspond
ent say's .there is no doubt that the
French department of war is convinced...
of the inadequacy of the Lebel rifles to
the requirements of modern warfare.
A new model has been prepared, but .
during the existing critical condition of "
politics the government fears to propose
arming the troops. The defects of the
present pattern were revealed, it is said,
during the Dahomey campaign, despite
flattering reports on the subject. '

Racing with Wolves.
Many a thrilling tale has been told by
travelers of a race with wolves across
the frozen steppes of l'nssia. Some
times only the picked bones of the hap
less traveler are found to tell the tale.
In our own country thousands are en
gaged in a life-and-death race
against the wolf consumption. The
best weapon with which to fight
the foe is Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical . Discovery. This renown
ed " remedy has cured myriads of
' cases when all other medicines and dqc-
tors had failed. It is the greatest blood-
luck, and other dice and card games
prohibited by our state laws, are car
ried on here so openly and fearlessly
that the knowing ones are forced to con
clude that the gamblers make a "divvy"
with the authorities, and therefore they
can violate the gambling laws with im
punity. It is a secret boast of gamblers
that a percentage of their fleecings pur
chases immunity from prosecution in
localities they choose to "work. Our
officers are laying themselves liable
tinea and degradation from office by neg
lecting to' "iulorm against a;id diligentlv
prosecute", offenders of ,the gambling
class. The illegal games run in thi
city can be easily found by our constab
ulary, and we trxpect them to suppress
them forthwith. Yours for law and
order, . J. P. Cooper.
