The grand jury reported to the supe rior judge this afternoon that they had found a number of true bills against certain persons implicated in the lynching of Hunt.

IN THE DEAD LETTEK OFFICE Whoro Now Hampshire Woman Found Her Wedding; rresent. There is likely to be a recovery over at the dead letter ottice, and the museum will lose one ot its choicest treasures. When the department festival was held there the young woman who had "dead letter exhibt" took some of the museum curiosities to put in it. Among them was an elephant that had been supposed to have been destined for some infant prodigy. It is a peculiar elephant. On one side was the flag of Eng land, on the other flank that of the United States, the two being con nected by a line of 3traggling links. The elephant occupied a place of honor. Suddenly there was a cry, "That's my elephant!" and a woman made haste to the table and gave the beast a cordial wel come. Then she explained that years ago a friend of hers, an American, had man ied an English man named Link, that accounting for the queer design on the ele phant, which had been intended lor a wedding present. The wo man lives in New Hampshire and was here on a visit when she re cognized her lost quadruped. The elephant is still on hia accustomed shelf in the dead letter museum, but his creator will noon visit the oflice. go through the necessery formalities and start the elephant once more on his trip to Mi. and Mrs. Lank. Washington Tost. Whiskered Catfish In the Columbia. Astoria Bulletin. Captain Will Warner, of the steamer Fisher. brought up a catfish about fifteen inches long yesterday which was caught in one of the traps near iMinil island and is one of the breed known on the Eastern rivers as vellow cats. It is an mrlv lonkinu brute with a mouth out of all pro portion to its size and has whiskers about three inches long on each side of its face. These destructive fish are said to be multiplying quite rapidly and in due course of time will succeed in diminishing tne salmon supply, it the brain less idiot who first conceived the idea of stocking undented Western waters with these ugly, worthless tisli would find some method for removing them he would confer a blessing on all interested in the salmon industry. While the Electric Lights Were Oft' A story comes to me from Athens which is almost too good to be true, but quite too good to be with held. The Privy Council had a meeting in the room set apart for them in the glaring, white stucco ed palace. It was evening, and the President had just risen to ad dress his colleagues, lavimr. according to custom, his gold watch on the talle in front of him, so that he might mark time. Suddenly the electric light went out, but after a short interval returned. Then the President discovered that his watch, which was a present from hia royal mastet, was missing. He lamented, and invited his col leagues to replace the watch, but there was no reponse. He remind ed them that the door was locked and that the watch must be in the possession of one of them. He next put each member on hia word of honor to say that he had not got it ; which little performance was promptly got through. The President then remarked that the situation had become embarras sing; but as he wished to make things easy for the culprit, who had doubtless yielded to tempta tion in a moment of weakness, he would order the lights to be again extinguished in order to give him an oppor tunity of restitution. This was done ; and when the lights were turned on the President found that not only had he no watch, but that be had also lost bis silver inkstand ! Vanity Fair (Txmdon). NORTHWEST H0TEB. Mrs. M. E. Watkinds, widow of W. H. (Bill) Wattinds, died at the asylum in Salem on Monday after a lingering illness. The people of Salem raised a subsidy for the big woolen mill, it being agreed that 250,ii00 pounds of wool a year should be manu factured into cloth. The mill used more tnan this last year, which was the first year and is now on the market for 400,000 pounds for the second year's run. The surveyors for the Siuslaw Railway Company have now crossed the summit of the range of mountains that divide the Siu slaw from the Willamette valley, and the chief of engineers reported to The West that the greatest grade was less than 1 per cent or a little below forty feet to the mile. This is far below what was ex pected and no one can longer doubt the feasibility of this route for a railroad to the sea. Tli flood of List, venr in:ni)lttlv changed the course of Coquille river ior a iew mues up, anu uie south channel, which ran by Cold Beach, and on which the cannery, store, wharves, etc, are located, is completely closed above and no water passes through. The results is the forming of a Targe mudtlat in front of town. Boatmen are forced to pull almost to the mouth of the river, says the (Jazette, and tlii'ii no. in order to reach the cannery, an extra pull of about two miles; ana it is oniy at, ex treme high water that schooners can reach the wharf. It begins to look as though (iuld Beach is destined to become an island town. The y-vear-old son of Mr. Galo- way, a merchant of Adams, was run over by the ti rat section of Saturday forenoon's freight train near Pendleton and had one of his legs completely amputated at the knee. The boy ran to lioaid the train in a spirit of play and grasped the rail of the iron ladder at the rear of a car. He missed his foot ing and fell beneath the wheels, the sharp tlonge cutting off his leg as cleanly as a surgeon's knife. The boy never lost consciousness or his presence of mind and man aged to wriggle from his dangerous position in time to save his life, lie was immediately picked up and conveyed to his home And a physician was called w ho rendered all the aid possible, lie will re cover. LONDON'S GKOWTH. The I'opulatlon Estimated al Near ly Six Millions. How steadily Ixjndon is grow ing! The process of expansion seems to go on with the relentless silent force of nature herself. During many year there has been an annual addition to the number of house in the metropo lian about ll.(HH). or an average of something like 000 a month. There has been remarkably little variation in the total yearly addi tion. It might have been sup posed that the last winter, with its long-continued severe frost, would have indicated that some check had been given to the movement. But it is not so. The increase for the year ending March last is ex actly 11,0!7. Building seeniB to have gone on in spite oi ine weather. On the date mentioned the total number of houses in the I metropolis was 771,413, occupied bv a population which the latest estimates set down at something over 5,800,0.0. London Chroni c!e. Millions or Crickets. o.C. Luckey, Indian agent at Warm Sirinsr8. was in Prineville recently and reported that crickets had destroyed nearly all the crops and gardens on the reservation and had also eaten most of the grass on the range. They made tneir firsc appearance about tne middle of last week, coming from the northeast, and arrived at the agency in swarms, andare traveling west into the Cascade mountains, where they w ill probably be frozen to death. The armv of crickets is about eight or ten miles long and from two or three miles wide. Whenever thev enter a field of grain they take everything, leav ing the ground bare, ine i nutans are very much discouraged to see their croDS thus destroyed Dy an enemy they cannot subdue. Mr. l.uckev says this raid by the crickets will leave the Indians without provisions for the next year and there will be considera ble sufferine among them if they have to rely on theirown resources for provisions. WHEAT WILL GO EAST Prospects Are That Little Will Be Shipped From the Coast. BUYKB8 FLOCKING THIS WAT. KailroAd aad Ship Ratss Will Haft a Big Effect oa tits Bhipmtat sf Orsgoa ad Wadiligtoi Crops. Pohtland, May 20. B. C. Mich aner, manager of the Pacific Ele vator company, baa just retured from an extended trip through the grain growing section of East ern Oregon and Washington, Michenor says that within a few weeks Eastern Oregon and Wash ington will be flooded with East ern people buying wheat to ship East and under favorable circumstances the whole grain crops of that region may go East. Rail rates to the coast and rates at which ships can be chartered will be prime factors in this movement. I be nign rates charged by shippers last season caused much grain to go East, and unleas there is a reduc tion in railroad rates and ahip rates, the prospect is that but little wheat raised in the inland empire will be shipped from this coast, JOE CHOYN9KI WINS. He Knocks Out an Australian In Short Order. Melbourne, Hay zb. -A prize tight which came oil here yester day between Joe Choynski and looley was the shortest combat ever recorded in the history of the ring. 1 he result showed thai Tooley was no match for Choyns ki, for the latter knocked him out in one minute and eleven seconds. From the moment the men entered the ring Choynski adopted bust ling tacties aud in a short time he drove T joley to the roites. When the men faces! each other in the second round it was further demonstrated that Choynski was the superior of Tooley. The latter was completely overpowered and when eleven seconds time allowed for the second round had expired Choynski made a drive at looley and knocked him completely out. Chovnski. who was a favorite in the betting at odds of five to four, received no punishment at all. CHOYNSKI WILL FlflHT AOAIN. A match for 400 has been arranged between Choynski and Joe Uoudard for July M. AN ENDORSEMENT. The Farmer Alliance of Kansas to Itatlfy the Cincinnati Conference Toi'eka, May 26.

Crops and Business. We scarcely remember a year when the reports from the differ ent sections of the west were at this date so generally and decided ly nopetui. winter wheat, which opened the season with a good start, has made excellent progress since ; Bpring wheat has a large acreage, while oats hare been seeded under the stimulus of high prices, and the crop is likely to be a large one, and to go into con sumDtion at a irood hirure as soon as harvested. Should no untow ard event happen the results which these prospects forecast, added to the assurance that an abundant yield of food products will meet a large and urgent demand, must of course mean good returns to the railroads, and so long as this an ticipation finds encouragement in the reports that come up from the agricultural sections it is impossi ble that confidence in such proper ty should not be on the increase.

Mayor Howard is grieving over the ruin of his promising orchard on Evans creek, the trees all hav ing been girdled with a saw by a devilish wretch just at the crown of the roots. Thev hang such miscreants in some sections of the country. The orchardists in Southern Oreaon will find themselves under the necessity of generally thinninp out, even to the sacrificing ol nan the young fruit, so heavily loaded are the trees, the sooner tne work is done the Ik tter, or praall fruit must be the rule the coming season. It may be that Burtenshaw, the lawver who robbed a poor old woman of several dollars at Ash and recently, will not escape justice altogether. Ihe next grand jury will probably cont-ider the cage ana una an lnaicuneni, n u i thought it can be made to stick. Hon. J. C. lohnan will erect a dwelling house and several bath houses at the poison spring on emigrant creek in a short time, near the scene of the old Indian Bweat-houses in early days. The Indians had an unswerving belief that a few days of perspiring at these springs would sweat the very devil out of a man and return him to the bosom of a family pure and undefiled as undrifted enow. The judge has an idea that the waters will still produce tne same c uect, and has concluded to give the eprings a show to illustrate their virtues by testing them on him self and a few chosen friends who have grown weary of living the lives they live at present. If the waters do what is hoped for them in purifying the subjects, they will deserve a flaming advertise ment; and in common with the rest of the community we shall anxiously await the result while devoutly praying that the devils will see fit to come out of the judge's frame. They are wily devils, however, and have made their home there a long time, and we fear they will be loth to leave their wonted haunts. Don't Apply To Cities. City Attorney Curtis, of Astoria, has been corresponding in refei- ence to the applicability of the Australian ballot to municipal elec tions, Under date of the 21st Joe. Simon writes as follows: "The Australian ballot law, prepared by the ballot reform league, was not intended to affect municipal elec tions. The act itself deals only with county and state elections." Judge Adams, Portland's city at torney, writes on the same date: there is nothing in our Portland chharter regarding the Aus tral ion ballot law, nor is there any reference to such law in the consolidation char ter, on which we are to vote ou the 1st prox. 1 do not think the law applies to municipal elections." Not Always Aornrate. The Astorian says that the weather forecast" daily wired to The Aatorian from the U. S. Signal Service office at San Francisco is net always infallible is made up from the weather reports wired to the Ban Francisco station from al) over the coast twice a day, the direction and velocity of the wind, height ot the barometer, etc., and is aa near correct as it is possible to make from data at hand.

A private letter received to-day from the city of Mexico written May 19, by a business man who has utmost facilities for getting correct infor mation, says thete is much reason to believe that the Mexican auth orities are quietly giving aid to the Chilian insurgents. The Esmer- alda has been able to get all the coal she wanted, and private ad vices from Mazathlan say that war materials brought from San Fran cisco was transferred early this morning to a ship belonging to the insurgents. MOB LAW IN KANSAS. One Way or Driving an Obnoxious Tenant off a Farm. Toi kka, Kas.. May 26. Joseph Bennett, ho bought a farm in Washington township, borrowed money from a Jewell City firm to make the first payment and put in his crops. When the note fell due Bennet did not have the money to take them up, and his place was sold by the sheriff. He re fused to give possession and was ejected.

Attorney (ieueral Miller has decided that the secretary of treasury baa no authority under the act of July 17, lS'.xi, to iesue the the treasury notes proviled for by that act, except in payment for bullion pur chased, but that the gain on seig niorage arising from the coinage of bullion under the act, when paid into the treasury becomes a part of the general cash and may be used like any other. The seig niorage fund now amounts to M, 000,000 and under this decision the issue of silver certificates may be increased to that extent. A WITNESS MISSING.
