THE FISH TREATY YET HOLDS GOOD
Reasons Given Why the Islands Should
Belong to Us by Preference.
CAHADIAIT rACIFIO WII.L KICK
The United States Still Baa a Treaty
Force Which , Will Last for
. Two Years.
Washington, Feb. 3. Special. It
is currently reported that the Canadian
Pacific railway people will undoubtedly
use their powerful influence to get the
Canadian government to protest. to the
British government, through their high
commissioner in London, fair unarles
Tupper, against the annexation of
Hawaii by the .United States." Sir
Charles is well versed in the ways of
diplomacy, and is thoroughly conversant
with Canada 8 position in regard to
Hawaii. There is practically no trade
to speak of between British Columbia
and Hawaii at present,- but if the pro
posed line of steamers was put on and
Hawaii was not annexed by the. United
States, there would without doubt be an
interchange of commodities between the
two countries. Besides, British Colum
bia ia making rapid strides forward,
and anything calculated to promote her
advancement will be carefully nursed,
just aa anything having the opposite
tendency will be vigorously opposed.
In an interview with . Ex-Secretary
Bayard yesterday he very willingly re
viewed his past actions in reference to
the Hawaiian islands and the policy of
the state department while he was at
its head. . Then, in the course of several
hours' conversation, Mr. Bayard went
over the whole question, the commer
cial and political affiliations of the Ha
waiian group with the United States,
and the practical ' tendency and effect of
the more important acts of the Cleve
land administration in the prosecution
of the policy inaugurated by Secretary
JM811.
What was done becomes of great in
terest and importance at this juncture as
an indication of what will be done in
the near future. Mr. Bayard has al
ways been impressed with the great im
portance to this country of the Hawaiian
islands. That Mr. Cleveland shares his
opinion is known by reference to the
subject in his message to congress, par
ticularly the message of 1885. With his
finger on " the map of the Pacific, Mr.
Bayard pointed out the geographical re
lation of those islands to our Pacific
coast.
Mr. Bayard did not commit himself to
the advocacy of annexation as a definite
programme for the immediate future,
but the whole drift of his statement en
forces the view that annexation would
be the consummation' of the political
arrangement entered into under the Fish
treaty of 1875 and followed by Cleve
land's administration.
Southern Pacific Influences.
. Heppner Gazette : The rumor comes
up among the hills of Eastern Oregon
that the Southern Pacific proposes to
have a band in the selection of railroad
commissioners. - The Gazette had the
understanding that the commissioners
are chosen to represent the people, not
the railroads. If this is the case, the
legislators should keep their eyes open
their- hands in their pockets, and down'
any attempt 'to elevate to the railroad
cominissionersbip those whe are the
known choice of railroads. If they don't
the "dull thud"- epidemic, which pre
vailed in California last summer, will
seize upon Oregon. : The Gazette wants
the railroads to have justice, which they
are big enough and strong enough to
get. On the other band, it wants the
people's representatives to be clean,'
decisive men of unimpeachable" charac
ter, who will, when necessary, see that
their constituents are getting justice,
too. The "inember8 of the legislature
choose the railroad commissioners, but
the people elect the legislators, and are
entitled to proper consideration. , .
... . .. Guilty as Charged. '
PiTrsBOEG.Teb. 2. The jury in the
case of Robert JBeatty, charged with
being an nccompltce in the Homestead
poisonings, brought in a verdictof guilty
this morning p all six indicmenta, after
beiiig out only seven minutes, r .
The people of Eastern Oregon want
and need an '.'open river." It is due
them. . They pay their share of taxes to
the state and get the least benefit. of
any part of (he state in return. All the
appropriations made by legislatures
heretofore . have . gone to increase the
value of private property west of the
Cascades and for "the people of that' section.-
.Barely . any thing .-baa- ever been
returned to Eastern Oregon, and now
when the people ask", for an appropria
tion of less than halt a . million .for "an
open river to the: sea," the combined
strength of the" senators from, the west
is thrown against it. We ask in solemn
earnestness : Do these men know what
they have done and are doing? They
have robbed and are robbing a just
people of their rights for the benefit of
private interests, and still they have the
calm audacity to pope as representa
tives of the people.
; The Raley bill will undoubtedly come
up again at this pension, and it should
become a law, but it will fail . as before,
unless the people of this section rise in
their might mid say to the legislature :
"Pass the bill, we demand it, or Buffer
the consequence."
: Senator Dolph says "the legislature of
Oregon should providefor the building
of a portage road. The state is able to
build it, and Eastern Oregon should re
ceive that much consideration. . He was
of the opinion that Paul Mohr's road, if
built, would be of little benefit to East
ern Oregon. It would be but another
monopoly of the commerce of the river,
demanding all that could be got out of
it. Whether it was so intended or not.
Pennoyer'B course, he" said, was calcu
lated to help Mohr to prevent legislative
action for the relief cf Eastern Oregon."
Senator Dolph sees plainly now the fu
tility of waiting for the government to
open the river. The state should do it,
and the people of this section should
pass Raley'a portage railway bill which
was defeated in the . senate, but which
was restored to the calender by a vote of
reconsideration in its favor. There is
still hope for its -passage if the people
will but act.
The republican party should not re
ceive the vote from the people ot
Eastern Oregon in .the future, as in the
past if the, plea for "an open river from
the Snake to the sea" is denied.
Big Railway Alliance.
Omaha, Feb. .. 3. Special. There
are meager details of the alliance be
tween the Pennsylvania, the Burlington
and Quincy and ' the Union Pacific
The leading features of the scheme hav
ing been satisfactorily determined, how
ever, the perfection of the details are
merely a matter of time. . The Pennsyl
vania has withdrawn from its passenger
traffic relations with the New York and
New England railroad, which have been
in force for years. It had made, a new
arrangement with the New York,- New
Haven and Hartford. The belief among
fianciers and railroad official who have
heard of the deal is that it is a result of
the visit to this country recently made
by A. H. H. Boissevain as the emmisary
of large foreign interests in the Penn
svlvania and the Union Pacific. There
has been heavy buying of Union Pacifi
stock for several days, and the orders are
eaid to have come largely from the other
side of the Atlantic.
Improved Revolutionary Methods.
Seattle. Telegraph. Our Mexican and
South American neighbors should go to
Honolulu to study the art of revolution,
where it is done without bloodshed and
with all the pleasant features of a Sun
day school picnic. The good temper and
pleasant manners of the Hawaiians
never showed to more -resplendent ad
vantage than -on this occasion. They
overthrew . the monarchy and estab
lished a "provisional republic with less
foes than is made over a college foot-ball
game in this country. It is a great im
provement over tlie South American
style of throat-cutting. ....".
The Wasson Bill.
Olympia, Feb. 2. The 43d and 44th
ballots the -same. The eenate passed
the famous Washington bill regulating
freight rates, vetoed by Acting Governor
Laugnton two years ago.

Seattle, Feb. 3. fSpeciaL The
status of the weather on Puget sound!
surpasses in severity and in the amount
of boot which has. fallen, all former
records. For the past two days the
thermometer has registered zero, and at
times it has been as cold as three degrees'
below zero. Snow began to fall one
week ago, and has' continued almost
without a stop, and at this date the snow
is still falling, and that very rapidly.
Yesterdav the indications were that we
would have rain, but last night it began
6nowing again ana irom hi o ciock yes

two feet on the level. Business is al
most totally blocked, the stores are do
ing but little and the stree-car lines are
running at . irregular intervals. The
snow has not ' yet interfered with the .
mail, other than making it a few hours-
late. Trans-continental trains are - run
ning on about .schedule time.
The great 6ensation of the hour is the
arrest of the widow of Henry L. Yesler,
Doctor J. Eugene Jordan and Doctor H.
M. Van Buren for' conspiracy in de
stroying the will of Henry L. Yesler.
It is purported that the will contains a
bequest to the city of Seattle amounting
to nearly a million dollars, and that
Mr. Yesler provided only in a scanty
way for his wife, who is a young lady
only about twenty years of age. Dr.
Jordan and Drs-Van Buren have been
bound over to appear before the superior
court, Mrs. Yesler has not yet had her
preliminary examination. It is charged
by Dr. Jordan that Mr. J. D. Lowman,
nephew of the deceased millionaire, at
tempted poisoning Mr. Yesler at differ
ent times, but failed in his purpose.
What the termination of this investiga- "
tion will be. cannot be forecast, because

The Queen's Band. -
Review: During Queen .Victoria
entire reign she has signed only one
death warrant. That was on account
of a murder committed in the Isle of
Man prior to the passage of a law in
that province relieving the reigning
sovereign from the duty or signing such
documents In this connection it may
not be unworthy of note that the gra
cious maiestv hna stubbornly and per-
sistenly witheld her signature from the
simple little paper necessary for the re
lease from a British bastile of a dying
American woman, who ia unjustly and
brutally incarcerated under cliarge for a
crime of which all the powers for the
monarchy have been impotent to prove
her guilty. - ' '
Raley Is All Right. .
Portland Dispatch : ' The - defeat of
Senator Raley's bill for the Celilo por
tage road is a matter of regret to the
people luvcrefivtm. u uuuui duuio
the senators voted against the measure
under the impression that the general
government will construct this road.
It is to be hoped that 6uch will be the
case and before . the next legislature
meets steps will be taken to" that end
The people of Eastern Oregon have a
strong friend in the senate in the per
son of Senator Raley. No blame can be
placed on him Jor the failure of this im
portant measure. . '.
