SUED BECAUSE THEY ARE DEAD
Hopkins and Crocker Sued by the
Government-'Huntington's Turn
Will Come Next.
Suit Will Be Brought.
San Fraxcisco, June 14. The Chron
icle has a special from Washington
which says the United States will bring
suit for $15,000,000 each against the
Crocker and Hopkins estates for the
recovery cf the debt owed by them to
the government, as stockholders in the
Central Pacific Railroad company.
Olney has placed the whole matter of
governmental action with reference to
the Central Pacific railroad's debt in the
hands of Assistant Attorney-General
Russell. Though- Olney is friendly to
the railroad corporations of the country,
and has confessed no faith in such pro
ceedings, he finds himself compelled, by
the pressure brought to bear by th
president and other members of ti.e
cabinet, to carry out the plan of suing
tne stockholders of the Central Pacific.
as has been urged upon him for some
time past. He prefers therefore to place
the responsibility for a course for which
ne Has no taste m the hands of Russell,
a man who appears to receive the res
pect of all the interested parties. Under
the law, suit cannot" be brocht
Huntington until he dies or the debts
mature.
w Dolph or Hermann.
Washington, June 14. A
appeared in the News tonight
th Senator Dolph was not going to be
allowed to make the race of the senate
unhindered; that representative Her.
mann had many friends in tbe legisla
ture wno would push his claims. The
article was verv comDlimentarv t.n
Hermann, eulogizing his work in con
gress, uoipn says he don't know
whether Hermann is a candidate or not
and Herman says he knows nothing
aoout it ; that he has given no consider
ation to the senatorshin. and tnnwi
nothing about the preferences of the
various members, or even how many
representatives have been elected to the
legislature. There is a possibility of
Hermann being chairman of the com
mittee on, rivers and harbors in the
next congress, and while he might not
want to throw the senatorship over ' his
eoouiaer, still he will be well fixed in
the house.

Salmon Receipts Light.
. Astoria, June 14. The freshet and a
lew days of rough weather have been in
strumental in aeain making mlmnn
receipts light, and the boats for several
days past have not averaged' more than
seven fish each. The largest hauls are
almost invariably taken close to the
breakers at Sand island, and in the
shallow water alongside the jetty, but
fishing at these points is exceedingly
dangerous, unless the water is calm. A
cuange lor tne better occurred Wednes-
uuwever, ana good catch may be
expected from this time on.
To Contest wiin Breckinridge.
Louisville, June 14. Regarding the
story from Lexington yesterday, Gen
eral Basil Duke says it is true he had
tacitly understood that Major Mowell
would make the race for congress in the
Ashland district, should Breckinridse I
be renominated. He told Maior Mc-
Dowell that he ought not to run as a re
publican, but as a non-partisan. The
major took the same view, adding he
had become partially reconciled to the
plan of making the race as tbe repre
sentative of those who believe Breckin
ridge's own confession should cause the
latter's rejection..
Bridges Burned.

Rough on the Clams.
ASTORIA. June 14. Residents on
Clatsop beach ssjy that the supply of
ciams is likeiv to be almost exhausted
in the course of a few weeks, on account
of the vast volume of fresh water which
is rushing down the Columbia. Already
they are becoming scarce, and what
have been dug during the past few days
are very poor. After the great flood of
1876, similar conditions were noticeable.
and the supply was light for over a year I
afterward. ; .

Deafness Cannot be Cared
By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portionjof tbe ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube ceta
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
im perfect hearine. and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condi
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (.caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.
