The Turin" Commission.
Washington, Juno 9 Immediately after
adjournment of the Senate Thurs lay niht,
21 Democratic members assembled in caucus
for the purpise of interchanging views 111 rr
gard to tho fitnees of tho 1'iesideiit's nomina
tion of t irilT commissioners. No attempt was
mado to securo caucus action, and at the con
clusion ot tho caucus, which lasted an hour
and a half, every Senator was left freo to
oto in executive session. It was developed,
however, that Democratic members of the
Senate are pr .ctioilly unanimous in holding
that tho commission is unfairly constituted
and should bo rejected. The ground taken
by uoirly all tho si -kers, including Brya.d
and others, who voted for Jie commitsion bdl,
that the proposed membership of the coin
iiiissinn is holly inconsistent with the avowed
purposo of the bill, which contemplated im
paitial investigation and looked to recommen
dations that should bo freo frf in suspicion of
self-intoiest. It was astortcd two of the nom
inccs, Hayes, of Massachusetts, and Garland,
of Illinois, aio salaried olliccra of a protective
high tarilf association, and a third, I'ortcr, is
II "stipendiary" of the tamo orgaifizition.
Olivoi, of Pennsylvania, and Kcnncr of Lou
isiana, wcro criticised us favoring protection
for tpteial intensts, who iniifht well be ex
peeled to combine with the above named
inemb rs in Hie interest of a high tunff gener
ally. LTndeiuoud, of Georgia, wai referred
to as an ' obieuio old man" nominated at too
instance ot Gcirgia piotectiouiiti, and Amb
ler, of Ohio, whom Senator Pcndleto.i do
nlarod.ho had never heard of until nominated
for a placo on tho commission,, although re
garded to an cxtont as of "uncertain quality,"
was generally believed by members of the
caucus to bo also a fiiend of high taiilf. The
seventh gentleman nominated for member
ship, Phelps, of idusouri, was spoko.i of as a
tin ill" reformer, but it as also announced ho
had" declined tho appointment. So far lis can
bo aceil med there are only two of tho Dtni
. cratio Senators willing to vote for the con
(irmation of tho commissioners. Hi own, of
Georgia, and loiio, of Iouisiana, both of
whom feel mcastiiably bound t do so by rea
son of tlicir having lespeclively recommended
two of tho members appo'lited. On tho other

Thn New Yoris I'ullir, speaking of tho bus
iness of the past weilc, says: The seven oit'os
of tho lareest trade, wli'ibo transactions f 01 in
about !)5 per cent, of the wholo iu ordinary
times, all report decrease in payments. Of
tlio eight which inuU next, only llneo show
any iner.itio. Nine or ten entailer towns still
show gains, but their dealings aro compara
tively unimportant. Only four cities iu tho
whole list teport gains larger than the ad
vance in pi ices since tho 1st of June, 1881.
The decline iu the aggregate (IU,'.' per cent.)
i, but little greater than the decline in ex
change at Now York, not arising from sales of
stock, which was 31.5. The fact that the re
1 urns cuver only 2vc working days, against
six of the previous week, is of no cohstqueucc,
because the permits iu tlio wcik which in
eludes the lust three days ol tho mm h are
generally much larger than those of any other
wooK. Ill laci. nntiiini! can no saui to cive a
more favorable construction of thu returns,
except that the transactions of the correspond
iiiL week last vcar. were of extraordinary
magnitude. May was thu month of rapid

employed 111 this and other cities throughout
the East iu the manufacture of clears. This
scheme, which threatens tho livelihood of
white maker of cigars in tins section, origi
nated ou siguiug by the lreideut of the Chi
nese bill lately passed in Congress, restricting
Mongolian immigration "to this country.
Ninety days had been specified for enforce
u.ent of the law, and officials of the Six Com
panies at ouce determined to take advantage
of this time, and have decided to import many
men from China to fill vacancies left by de
parture eastward of the thousands now on the
Pacific Coast. It was learned a strike among
white cigar makers in this city is contem
plated, and it is not unlikely that importa
tion of Cebstial labor 'is intended to head off
or defeat this movement. ''

Aged Brood Mares.
Lady Sanford, the dam of Jay Gould, was
not bred till she was fourteen years old, then
she foaled Lady McMann (the dam of Bella;
record 2:22). Then she rested for three years;
and four years after the birth of Lady Mc
Mann, she produced Jay Gould, and, from the
record, it appears that she has had only two
other foals. With one exception, there is an
interval of two years between each foal. This
is a ease of long intervals of rest, which ena
bled the vitality and procreative powers to ba
concentrUeil in the ptoduction of her foals;
and it is very questionable whether continuous
production every successive year iu the life of
the brood mare, instead of intervals of rest
every other year, is not at tho expense of vi
tality, constitutional viuor, and capacity to
withstand greater training in the produce.
Madame Temple was a mare of wonderful
vitality. She was th daughter of an Arabian
horse, and iuherited tho Arabian peculiarity of
longevity. She lived to be twenty-seven years
old, anil produced eight colts. She foaled
Flora temple when she was nve years 0111, in
1SI5, and then sho rested for ten years, with
out having a single colt. After that rest she
produced soven colts, o-e every year, the last
being Blonde Temple by grand old Lexing
ton, when she was twenty-one years of age.
This is another instance of pres-rved pro-
creative powers, resulting irom a loug inter
val of rest But before we deduce practical
conclusions from these tables, there are other
examinations of figures that make our line of
thought still more exhaustive.
For instance: Lady Patriot died w hen she
was tweity-six years old. She produced fif
teen foals six to Hambletonian, four to
Thorudale, two to Ashland, two to Surplus,
aiidunetoMantbrunella. Shebrought forth the
mighty V lunteer the sire of twenty-one in
the 2:SQ list when she was four yiara old;
and the less distinguished Sentinel the sire
of seven in the 2:30 list when she was fifteen
years old. After his birth, in 1S63, she
brought forth nine other foals, the last one
when she was twenty-three years old; yet, uot
one of them has made a came in turf annals.

Priest Rapids.
Orrespondonce OregonUn.
During the last several months, an incor
porated company, which has its headquarters
at this place, and which is known as the
Eastern Washington Development Company,
has been making preliminary arrangements
for developing a large section of agricultural
country through the establishment of a ship
ping and trading point at Priest Rapids, on
the upper 'Columbia. W ith this object in
view, the manager of the company has been
11 cm a jndenco with tho general freight
2.--en' o fie O. R. & N. Co , who has con
sented to extend the transportation lino up
the river to the rapids by running a regular
boat between Ainsworth and that point. The
development company has also istabhshcd
and erected a largo warehouse there for the
storage of grain and merchandise, and aie
proceeding as rapidly as possible to supply
other things needful to make their enterprise
a success.
The point known as' Priest Rapids is 75
miles noithwest of Ainsworth. Owing to a
somewhat angular bend iu its channel, the
Columbia at that place is not more than 40
miles from the Yakima valley, while the
beautiful and productive Kittitas valley is
even nearer to it than this. When it is con
sidered that at present the nearest outlet for
agricultural products ot Kittitas is through
1 he Dalles, Oregon, a distance of 150 miles,
and that from the same point must be hauled
over this long, mountainous road all of the
goods, wares and merchandise, all of the ma
chinery and implements, all of the clothing,
stoves, furniture and other things necessary
to supply'the varied wants of a largo and in
dustrious community, you will not wojjder that
the Priest Rapids movement, or any othei
echeme which piomises- relief, from this pres
ent obstacle to our county's prosperity, is re
garded by our people as a sunject of great in
terest. While nothing short of a railroad
in this section will in lull nteasurj afford the
desired relief, it is believed that an outlet to
Portland through Priest Rapids will go as far
in that direction as any other expedient, pro
vided tho transportation rates down the river
are placed at the lowest possible sc lie between
t iese points.
In the first place. Priest Rapids is centrally
located with reference to 0 great number ot
rich and productive valleys, as well as a large
region of undeveloped country, both above
and below it. Railroad or no railroad, a vast
extent of this country must, for many years
in the future, depend upon the Columbia for
transportation, and tho most natural point
for concentration of the shipping and trade of
this country is at tho present embryo town 'of
Priest Rapids. In the second place tho vast
undulating country lying between theVeuat
chie and YaUiina livers, and which is likely
to become, at no distant day, the homo of a
large population of thrifty agriculturists, will
necessarily be mainly tlependeut upon the
Columbia river for their sup ly of timber for
houses, fuel, fences, and other domestic pur
poses. Indeed, the lack of such timber has
hcretotoro constituted tho principal obstacle
to settlement of tho region referred to.
While excllent timber is found in great
abundance on the Wcnatchie, which empties
hit j the Columbia far above tho rpids, it has
be.-n unavailable for a single settler in the
vicinity of tho latter place, as it must bo
floated a great distance beforo leaching that
point, auel even wh?n there it .would have
bren useless for building purposes in the ab
sence of a mill to manufacture it into lumber.
To supply this absolute necessity, it is said to
bo the purpose of tlio Development Company
to tiect a sawmill a3 soon as ptacticabio at
their new town site. Two memocrs of the
company have just returned fiom a tour of
inflection up the Wenalchio and leportthit
the project of floating timber elcnvn to the
rapids is iu all respects feaitble, aud that the
indications aro that mnioer auu mei may w
supplied for use iu that vicinity as cheaply as
it may be had in many of the most thrifty
portions of the territory. With this neces
sity supplied, thero is no reason why a large
section of most excellent agricultural country
which now lios dormant and profitless should
not be rapidly tilled with settler-; aud with
the additiou of a flouring mill to prepare
grain tor shipment, aud the establishment of a
store, a blacksmith shop ai.il a postoffice.
there is no reason why Pi test Rapids should
not iu the course of tune become the Minne
apolis of till Columbia 1
The stcimer John Hates maele Iter rust trip
to tho raptils last wetk, Tne Development
Company nad scarcely completed their ware
house, and yet they were at once called upon
1 1 find storage for some 69 tons of merchan
dise, including agricultural implements for
Kittitas valley, sLrpl es lor 1110 UKanagan ami
goods for a ne-v store in EUeusburg. In re
turning the vessel took towards Portland sev
eral tons of Hour from Kittitas valley, and
had tbo timo of her proposed arrival been
known for a certainty, oho wouhl nave re
0 ived a cargo ot be.-f cattle which w ere drivei
from the neighlioring range of Ainsworth on
f-e day previous to her arrival, ine vesse
nlun lirnmrht nn a number of Tvaasenucrs
route for Ellensburg. Dil the fust vessel tc
the Dalles, to Minneaj polis or to any othei
new to a 11 do better than this ? And may w.
not with reason and well grounded hope look
upon this as the first step toward the devtl
opmeut aud settlement of that vast bunch
grass plain which lies in what is known as tho
"Big Bend of the Columbia ?" That region is
pronounced by all who have seen it to be one
of great fertility, but owing to au absence
heretofore of any contiguous trading point or
facilities for shipping produce it has remained
a wildernesss. Theie are also numerous fer
tile valleys ou the west side of tins Columbia,
including thxso in the Okanagan, Wauachic,
Cold Creek, Sulphur Creek and other coun
tries in which there are few settlers. Each of
these several countries is somewhat dependent
upou its neighbors for the first step tow ard
advancement, while each and all of them if
once develod must depend largely upon the
Columbia for means of transportation in the
absence of any better outlet Priest Rapids
being the head of navigation for the present,
may therefore become a depot or shipping
point with no mean backiug. A road has al
ready been constructed from the rapids to El
lensburg, aud as the distance is short Tor
hauling, the entire surplus product of Kittitas
valley will likely le shipped to tide-water
through the w arehouse of the Development
Coinpiuy, A toad is also being constructed
to the rapids of Yakima City, and the -trades
on this road are very lignt. It is the. efore
considered quite certain that the shipping of
the entire akima country will be transferred
from the last named place to the new tow n of
Priest Rapids.
Fatal Acwhent. On Friday last a fore
man of a gang ot Chinaman and three of his
men were killed on the O. & C. R. R. exten
sion at Myrtle Creek, Douglas county, by the
premature explosion of a blast which, from
some unknown cause, went iff half an hour
before it was intended to. The white man
was buried at Mrtle Creek, and the bodies
of the Chicantcn were brought to this city
on yestvrday'i train for interment. Oue or
two of the bodies were torn into f rammer ta
by the explosion.
