Albert Poole Discharged Insurance on
the Steamer Oousectd Reported
Lost.
Port Townsknd, Wash., Dec. 7. The
British steamer Strathnevis, which was
supposed to have foundered in the recent
November gale, in- the North Pacific
ocean, was spoken a few days ago by the
British bark John Gambles, which ar
rived at Vanconver this morning from
Java.
The Stranthnevia was in a' disabled
condition 810 miles northwest of Cape
Flattery, being in longitude 145 west,
latitude 48:40 north, and is on tho sail
ing track between Puget Sound and Yo
k&hama. The 'John Gambles sent an
officer ashore down the Straits last night
who telegraphed meager particulars
to this port. No particulars were given
as to extent of the steamships disability
except to advise the immediate dispatch
ing of a tug to render the vessel assis
tance. The character of the telegraph
seemed to indicate that the Strathnevis
was entirely disabled and was in great
danger.
She is laden with passengers and a
valuable cargo of merchandise, bound to
Yokaharua from Tacoma. It is probable
two or three tugs will be sent out in
search of the steamer this afternoon or
tomorrow.
Port Townsenp, Dec. 7. James Jack
eon, the educated Indian who is to per
eonally carry tho mail from Junea to Ft.
Cudahy, on the Yukon river, arrived
here today on the steamer Willipa. He
cornea down to secure twenty or thirty
strong dogs to draw the Bleds across the
mountains to the Canadian post office on
Forty Mile Creek. This search is mere
a private enterprise, being maintained
by the miners who pay fifty cents a let
ter. The Canadian government guaran
tee $359 for each of the two round trips.
The under taking is considered most
hazardous.
Roskburg, Or. Dec. 7. The examina
tion -of Albert Poole for complicity in the
train robbery in Cow Creek Canyon July
1st., was held tonight before United
States Commissioner Loughary. Poole
was discharged for want of evidence.
San Fkancisco, Dec. 7. The reinsur
ance on the overdue steamer Gorsedd
was quoted at 80 per cent in the morn
ing and three hours after lhe posting of
the quotation a diBpatch was received
from Port Townsend stating that the
Gorsedd had arrived all right. The ar
rival created great excitement, for, of all
the ships of the overdue fleet, the Gor
sedd was the least looked for. She was
43 days from Singapore for Tacoma, or
about 20 days overdue. The reinsurance
on the Evandale jumped to 40 per cent,
today. The British ship Lord Brassey
and the steamer Eekale, of the Northern
fleet, are causing the greatest anxiety by
their long delay.
FULL JUSTICE TO HE DONE.
Republicans First Opportunity to Inaug
urate a Governor.
Louisville, Dec. 8. Arrangements
for the inauguration of Governor-elect
Bradley at Frankfort, Tuesday, are rap
idly nearing completion. It is 'the first
opportunity the republicans of this
state ever had for the management of
such an affair, and the indications are
that they intend to do the occasion full
justice.
The inanguration of a republican gov
ernor in Kentucky is a record-breaking
event to start with, and the preparations
ai e sufficiently elaborate to be in keep
ing with the importance of the occasion.
The parade will, of course.be the feature
of the day. General D. W. Lindsay has
been chosen chief marshal, and in the
procession will be organizations from
Newport, Covington, Cincinnati, Louis
ville, and other cities, including the
famous Louisville legion. The parade
will occur shortly before noon and the
inauguration ceremonies will follow.
Colonel Bradley will reach Frankfort
Tuesday morning and will, it is expect
ed, be greeted by one of the largest
crowds ever gathered at the state
capital. .
The Foreign Market.
London, Dec. 3. 'With the bank re
reserve again at the required amount,
money rates have been on the easiest.
The stock market has passed an exceed
ingly quiet week. The fact that the
Paris settlement was gotten over with
out trouble has given a better feeling in
foreign securities and mines. Other de
partments have been practically lifeless.
Against the gold exports, President
Cleveland's message has no effect in sup
porting railroads, which, with Canadians
were all lower on the week. . Turks were
fairly supported on official assurances
that trouble In Armenia would have no
effect 'on the reserve. The week's

THE AID MOST NEEDED.
the
An American Syndicate to Advance
the Cuban Republic a Vast Sum.
New York, Dec, 8. A syndicate of
American capitalists has been formed in
this city to aid the Cuban insurgents.
To Marquis de Santa Lucia, president of
the provisional republic, a representa
tive of the syndicate has made a propo
sition to loan the Cuban republic $15,
000,000, contingent on the recognition of
belligerency by the United States gov
ernment. In exchange the syndicate
will except $45,000,000 in Cuban bonds,
the same to be canceled from cuBtoma re
ceipts immediately on the recognition
by Spain of ths Cuban republic, or a de
claration of peace. The syndicate stipu
lates that $10,000,000 be expended in the
purchase of two modern war vessels and
munitions of war; that these vessels
shall immediately proceed to capture
and hold, in conjunction with the land
forces, some Cuban port, and that they,
with the assistance of other men-of-war,
whose purchase later may be deemed
advisable, shall prey on Spanish com
merce and assume Tin aggressive policy
which will bring this war to an early
end.

Mrs. W. B. Meek, who resides at
Camptonville, Cal., eays her daughter,
was for several years troubled at times
with severe cramps in the stomach, and
would be in such agony that it was nec
essary to call in 11 physician. Having
read about Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy she concluded to
try it. She found that it always gave
prompt relief. It was seldom necessary
to give the second dose. "It has not
only saved us lots of worry and time,"
she says, "but also doctor bills. It is
my opinion that every family should
have a bottle of this remedy in the
house.". For sale by Blakeley & Hough

There is nothing that causes women
greater discomfort and misery than the
constantly recurring Headache. Men
suffer less with Headache. "My wife's
health was very indifferent having
Headache continually, and just two
packages of Simmons Liver Regulator
released her from all Headache and gave
tone and vigor to her whole system. I
have never regretted it's use." M. B.
