Laweon of this city, on the night of the 4th instant, were discharged from custody this morning and immediately took the boat for Portland.

A meeting was held in tbe council chamber last night for the purpose of or- e-tnisimr a Humane Society in this city. What the meeting lacked in attendance was made up in enthusiasm. It was agreed that some organized effort ehonjd be made to prevent or punish cases of cruel and inbnmau treatment of persons or of the dumb animals that cannot plead their own cause. Mayor Farley occupied tbe chair but as no one present seemed to know how to go about the matter of organization, Dr. Siddall was unanimously appointed a committee of one to obtain the necessary information and to report to a meeting to be held, later subject to bis call.

TLU trtla aaaertloo bee Men proved in n- Ynrk when aeenU oi toe society for tbe Prevention of Cruelty to Animals The Seattle Post-Intelligencer of yes terday hits off Portland in tbe following fashion which, unfortunately, has too much truth in it to be pleasant: "Portland has jnrt been slinging itself in an effort to raise a suitable fund for tbe exposition, with tbe reenlt that thousands of dollars have been sub scribed, and more is a coming. Every body is glad of it. Hustle is what tbe town needs above all other tbings. In view of tbe signs of awakening, the Oie gonlan felicitates itself in theee words: "Tbe Lewis and Clark subscriptions will kill off two ancient bugbears. Nobody is talking now about superior enterprise at Seattle. Nobody is in donbt about Portland's being on the man. "Well and good. Let Portland emu late Seattle's enterprise. Let tbe town, with Albina, East Portland, Bcapoose, Oregon City and numerous other sub urbs, climb up on the map, take a firm ciocb and remain in plain sight of tbe assembled multitude. But let Portland give bed to this account of J. S. Lytle, a Kansas pioneer, ho died tbe other day at Hiawatha: "While in Santa Ana, Cal., be slept fwiiu May 28th to Aug 20tb. He was brought home early in September, and bas been sleeping continuously siuce the second day of that month. He died a few moments after awakening. During his long sleep he was fed by means of a robber tube. "The comparison is too close for com fort, yet there is hope for Portland, be couse the town isn't quite dead yet. Tbe only difference in tbe two eases is .k.i Portland during her long sleep was ..t nourished by means oi uuu. tobe." . , They Discussed .Rate-Cutting. A well-attended meeting of tbe busi ness men of the citv convened in the club rooms last night to consider what action, if any, should be taken in relation to the rate war just inaugurated by the White Collar Line. M. T. Nolsn called tbe meeting to order and occupied the chair till the entrance of President Whealdon, when tbe latter took Mr. Nolan's place. Mr. Peters stated the object of tbe meeting and suggested that tbe beet way to stop the war was for tbe business men of tbe town to re fuse tbe opposition line any business. He insisted that there was not room for two companies. Tbe diseussion lasted for aboot an boor and a half and at times waxed warm. A motion prevailed tnat tne chair appoint three business men to cinvass the boainess bouses of tbe city and obtain pledges of the merchants that tbey will not support the White Collar line. The chair appointed Messrs. Peters, Cross and Mclnerny. Tbe sense of tbe meeting was finally obtained by the presentations of the fol lowing motion: "Resolved that any transportation company tbat Is re sponsible for ratting rates below what is fair and reasonable is unworthy of the patronage of the merchants of Tbe Dalles." On a rising vote In tbe affirma tive every man in the room rose to bis ieet save tbe local agent of tbe White Collar line and a merchant who never patronised tbe home company. The meeting then adporned. FtfcSUNAL M KMT Htm. Mr. god Mr.Jonn B.
