THE WORLDS FAIR QUESTION. The sub-committee of tho special house committee on the worlds fair was called together this morn ing by Chairman Chandler, and discussed the subject of the propo sition to select the site for the worlds fair by ballot in the house to-morrow. The session did not last more than half an hour, as it was evident the sub-committee was hopelessly divided upon the proposition, and it will rep)rt to the full committee to-morrow that it has had the proposition under consideration and has come to a conclusion thereon. THE OKLAHOMA ToWNSITE. The Oklahoma townsite bill was somewhat amended and reported to the house and passed. FOR IMPROVING) THE COLUMBIA. Mr. Gravesnor, of Ohio, fron the committee on rivers and har bors, reported back to the senate a joint resolution appropriating $250,000 for the removal of epics and other; -obfdrnctions from the Missouri river between St. Jceph and its mouth. The commit tee proposed a substitute reducing the appiopriation to $55,000, and ap propriate $-,000 for the removal of the snugs from the Columbia river, Oregon. On motion of Mr Hermann, of Oregon, the substi tute was thus amended: "That the appropriation for the Columbia river may be expended for jetty work;" The substitute was agreed to, and the joint resolution as amended was passed. FOREIGN IMMMIGBATIOK. Mr. Chandler offered a concur rent resolution, which went over until to-morrow, authorizing the committee on immigration in the two houses to investigate the work ings of the various laws in the' United States and in the several j states in regard to immigration from foreign countries. The sen ate then resumed the consideration of the bill discussed yesterday to require the superintendent, of records to ascertain what percent age of the people own their farms, and the number of farms under mortgage, and amount thereof. TEKRI FIC EXPLOSION. A Building Mown to Flecea by . Natural Gas -Several Killed. Pittsburg, Jan. 22. An explo sion of natur$ gas this morning completely wrecked a tbree-story frame dwelling. John Slip, aged 33 years, was killed. Mrs. Theo dore Ringer, aged 35 years' was badly crushed and burned,and will die. Miss Annie Slip was yery se riously . injured. Six others were wounded, some seriously! . The explosion was caused by a leak in tho cellar. Mr?. Ringer started down into tho cellar with a lighted candle. When she reached the foot of the stairs tho gas ignited, and a ternlc explosion followed, which siiook all the buildingkjn tho vicinity. Tho house was lifted from its foundation and blown to pieces. At the time there were ten persons in the building.arid all but an infant were more or less in jured. 1'KOItAlSL.Y A CANAKD. The Bank of England Denies Mint It is I'nrcliasing Silver Bullion. London, Jan. 22. Nothing hr.s boen published here in regard 'to the report that the bank oi Eng land has recently been the heavy purchaser of silver bullion, and fs contemplatiiig the issue of pound notes rfdf pninhls in silver. na cr.n -..w , ' cvruai as the necessary authority could be Careful inquiries in financial circles this morning resulted! in showing tiiat few had heard Ithe report, and tb3y were incredulous as to its accuracy. The chief finan cial authorities expressed the opinion that the report was wholly wi:hout foundation, in fact they a.-M-rled positively that the hank of l-jiIdiid hud made no such a pt idiube of bullion and was not buying .silver now. Further than this they declared that purchases of silver were not being made by any London bank with reference to an alleged intention of the bank of England to issue pound notes. At tentton was drawn to the la:t tnat neither the bank of England nor any other bank of England could issue pound notes without special authority to that end by an act of parliament. It was considered doubtful whether eo conservative an institution as the Dank of Eng land would be making preparations from so radical a departure from its previous history before definite authority Had been secured, feu- ver bullion is & of a penny lower per, ounce to-day. .

LARGEST IN THE WORLD. A Bridge To Reach from New .lessey te New York. New York, Jan .21. The Nrth River Bridge Company has asked congress, through representative McAdoo. of New Jersey, for the right to build and operate a bridge across the Hudson river between the state of New Jersey and the city of New York, and to lay tracks theuon connection of railroads and to facilitate trans portation. It is stipulated that the bridge shall not have less than six railroad trucks, and shall be con structed with a single span over the entire river between pier lines in either state. No pier or other obstruction is to be constructed in the river between the pier lines, and the bridge is he completed in seven years, unless delavrd by leeal proceedings. Tnc ptan3 bc been prepared It will be the largest bridge in the world. The English channel bridge which is talked of will not compare witn it, for its longest span will be 1700 tect, while this span will be 2S50 feet long. It is claimed that it cheaper to bridge in a single span then with a pier in the river, because it is .200 feet down to a reck foundation. The bridge span will be 2850 feet loand 150 feet above the water, fifteen feet higher than the Brooklyn bridge. The material of the bridge will be steel and steel wire. THE UNITED BRETHREN. The Church Divided Into Two Fac tions.each Clalaaing the Property Oregon ian. Tho members of the United Breth ren church who bave long maintained a college at Philomath, Benton countyjj are having considerable trouble and litigation in regard to church matters and property in this and also other states. According to thir original church laws and discipline a person belonging to a secret society could not become a member of this church. This provision has always been a source of trouble in the church as the members were divided in regard to the matter as well as upon some other questions of discipline and con fession. At the general conference of the church held in December 1SS9, the discipline was amended so as to admit mcmber3 of secret societies into the church, and iu some other minor mat ters. About fifteen of the 120 mem bers of the conference objected to the change, and left th! conference in a body and coavencd another confer ence, claiming that they were the only tiue representatives of the church. This action resulted in a division of the churches of the United Brethren in every state in tho Union and as a result of this division, lawsuits are .ending in inanv states in regard to which of the two factious is entitled to the church property. In this state a suit is pending in Benton county in rcard to the college propert lof tbe Brotheihood at Philomath. E-ich of the factions has instituted a suit .0 enjoin the other from using it, and a consequence the property is in the hands of a receiver. The school has been suspended in tho college build ings, but etch (faction has erected other buildings and are conducting two different schools, both of which is claimed to be "Philomath College." There are now two tela of bishops, presiding elders and ministers. The case was tried last Thursday ou a motion to dissolve the two in junctions, before Judge Bean, in chambers at Salem, and he now has the matter under advisement, BncSiten'A Arnica Salve.

SCHOOL AND COLLEGE FUNDS. Growth of the State as Exhib.ted by the Iscreased Business in the Treasures Office. This time is not opportune for making an exposition of the exact financial condition or tne state oi vre- gOUr aia v . i. awr, oiu.uu state treasurer? wherr approached on that subject by a Salem statesmen re porter a few days ago. "The reason is. we are at the mid die of a biennial term, which forms a complete cyjle of business that is the collection and expenditure of a certain amount of money authorized bv the legislative assembly. "This term includes the levying and collection of two annual taxes and the expenditure of the money thus secured on an appropriation bill nassed at the bemonine of the term. "This process forms the debit and credit of an amount which necessarily is not complete until a period of two years has passed around and a report 'a umue wi uiu Buucecuiug icgioiumic, he added. "Now, outside of what may be the result of this term's bus'nes, the state does not owe one dollar. "It has no indebtedness, bonded or unbonded. "The second levy applying to the last appropriation nas oe en tevieo, and is supposed to be capable of secur ing enough money to liquidate every item of expenditure authorized by that bill." "Tho people may rejoice, therefore, that they have no burdensome state debt, and no prospect ot one by tne close of 1S90. Neither do they have a large surplus in their treasury to be a subject of contention and a menace to economical administiation." THE VOLUME OF BUSINESS. is very much on the increase, which indicates the growth of the state in all its branches, as is shown by the following statement of receipts and disbursements for the past six years: Receipts for biennial term ended January,'- 1SS5 1,S79,147 15 Disbursements for bien nial term ended Jan uary, 1SS5 1,393,399 95 Total S2.272.547 10 Receipts for biennial term ended January, 1887 $1,S79.263 S5 Disbursements for bien nial term ended Jan nary, 1SS7 1.4S7.780 47 Total $3,358,044 32 Receipts for biennial term ended January, 1SSS $2,034,63G 64 Disbursements for bien nial term ended Jan uary, 18S9 1,791,258 25 Total ?3,S25,So4 89 Estimated receipts for biennial term now running $2,300,000 00 Estimated disburse ments 2,000,000 00 Total . . .$4,300,000 00 COMMON SCHOOL FUND. ' One important factor in this in crease of volume of business is the rapid development of the common school fund, which, in 18S5, including all items, ammounted to S8C8.73o.16. Iu 1887 to $1,059,409.01, and 18S9 to S1.756.7C0.00. The carnin power of the fund. measured by amount actually loaned and not including certificates of sales of land, was, in 1SS5, $733,288.62; in 1SS7, S7S1, 137.03; in January, 18S9, $1,428,071.14; in December, 1S69, 551,568,071. 14. This is the amount of the principal now actually loaned. The revenue srom this fund has been distributed in July cf each year to the several couutics of the state in aid of the comnon schools. Tu j amount received by each county is in proportion to the number of children of school age in the county. The following is the distribution for five years past: Year, Per Scholar Am't 1S&5 $ .75, 59,046 75 1SS6 90, 74,571 30 1887 1.00, S7.217 00 18SS 1.25, 10S.217 50 18S9..... 1.40, 130,337 20 1890 (estimated). 1.C0, 155,000 00 COLLEGE FUNDS. The Agricultural College fund and the University fund also show a gradual improvement. In 1885, the for mi a, mauling all items, amounted to $71,194,37; in 1S87 to $99,015.15, andir 1889 to $113,139.07. In 1887 the latter including all items, aai mounted .to $77,816.82; in 1S87 to $78,171,49, and in 1899 to$S2,206 03. SWAMP LAND FUND. Long before the state was receiving any substantial income from the sale of swamp lands, which had been granted to the state by the United States, for the purpose of internal im provements, a heavy debt was allowed to be saaaiea onto mis iuna. Large appropriations for wagon roads were made from this fund, anticipating . receipts into this fund very many years. Warrants drawn in 1376, 1877 and 1878 were not paid until last Year, the interest conse quently amounting to more than the DrincioaL In January, 1SS7, the balance of this debt amounted to about ol, 000.G0 principal, the accumulated in terest nnUiru; the total about 590,000, la January. 18S9, the debt on this account, principal and interest, lesa cash in the treasury, amounted to $43,954. During the last year this has been , paid and the debt extinguished. "Whether there is anyinmg to show for this large expenditure is vety doubtful. Some future generations may find some patches of these old roads and give to them an imaginary value as evidence of the existence of a prehistoric race," said Mr. Slater. WRECKED ON SIBERIA'S COAST Schooner and Sealing Vessel Lost, With Mere Than Thirty Mem. San Francisco, Jan. 21. Japan ese advice, by the steamer Oceanic v to cTiy ' give" an - acconnt of the " wreck ot the otto-hunting schooner Rose, belonging to R. Clark. The Yokahama, a Russian government schooner, seized the.Rose about the end of October near Robin island for pOachinc, and putting a 'prize crew ot one officer and five men on board, started for to Ylabivosteck. Durog the night the Rose went a shore near Saghalein and became a total wreck. A boat comainng one Russian sailor and seven of the crew of the Rose was picked up and the government schorner again started lor Valdivostock. Falling to reach there, fears were entertain ed for her safety, and later, when the report was received that a schooner had been wrecked near Cape Soeya and all hands drowned and that a body washed ashore was dresed and tatooed like some of the Russian sailors, it was beleived the government schooner bad been, wrecked, and that her crew of three , officers and twenty men, together witb the men picked op from the wreck of the Rose, had all perished together. HOW INGALLS WAS TRAPPED. Great Men. Sometimes Succumb to the Shrewd Reporter. With profound regret says the Washington Post, we learn that his royal highness the Prince of Wales has resolved .so far to withdraw hie patronage and sanction from English literature as to permit noboby to use his came in a soap advertisement. By the way, this reminds us of some thing that once happened to Senator IngalU. David Lawsley, who was at that time a reporter for a Washington journal, was sent to hold an interview with the senator upon an important matter vt etate. The senator, who had no intention whatever of being drawn into a conversation on that subject, met Mr. Lewsley with his ac customed grace aud courteously veered the conversation into other channels. Somehow, for want of an other handy subject, the senator .aid something about beards, which led to barbers and, of couise, to the general subject of shaving. "By all means," said Senator Ingalls, "you should learn to shave yourself," and then he went on with a learned, thoughtfnl, and highly entertaining disquisition on the ad vantages, economic aud metaphysic, of shaving oneselt rather than hiring a barber to do if. Mr. Lewsley paid careful attention to all the senator said, fixing facts and dates in his mind, and said nothing. When the senator had related circumstantially his own varied experiences with razors and brushes aud soaps, recom mending this make of blade and that brand of lather to Mr. Lewsley's use, the reporter, convinced that he could not learn what he had come to learn; arose to go. There was, or the re porter imagined there was, a sort of merry triumphant twinkle in Senator Ingalls's eye as he politely bowed bis caller from the room a twinkle which seemed to eay: "I have made this young man really forget what he came for." . The next morning Sinator Ingalls was more or less horrified at finding in the ;Iocal newspaper true report of all he had said, including he earnest recommendation of a certain shaving soap which he unqualifiedly pronounced the very best that could be had." But the reporter's vengeat.ee was not yet satisfied. lie marked the article and sut it to the manu facturer of the recommended soap. In a fortnight the newspapers, tlia periodicals, and-all the manv means employed by advertisers were broiuht into use, and Senator Ioizali-'s eloquent eulogy of that soap v.ig prinieu m every lorw mat could i.a devised to attract popular atteuti- u. And the wont of it was that the sen i- tor could not deny that the very ex pressions, earnest and glowing as th y were, were all his own. A General Stiitt-Pon-n.
