Portland, July 6. The ci
officials of the consolidated mu
nicipality assumed their duties at
12:30 to-day, and the first city
OOiMwal meeting under the new
t$am was held this evening.
Without a jar the change was
made. There is now neither an
East Portland or an Albina, except
in name, and instead of being a
city of 50,000 Portland is now a
metropolis of 75 000 people.
Will Be Electrocuted To-day.
Sing Sdco, N. Y., July 6. AH
day long newspapei men have been
haunting the penitentiary to get,
if possible, something about the
electrocution of the four murder
ers, which eY'erybody expected
would take place to-day. None of
them were allowed to go beyond
the line of guards established by
the warden, although preparations
seem to be in progress lor the exe
cution. The statement is made
from a semiofficial source that
there would be no execution to
day, and that it would occur in all
likelihood at daybreak to-morrow.
Gladstone's Health Is Not Good.
London, July 6. Notwithstand

Gladstone, the leading liberals do
not expect to see him oack in bis

oxysm of grief that followed the
news of the death of bis son there
was a calm, with appearance of re

that under this influence Mr. Glad

yesterday, but a reaction is now
apprehended.

Nbw York, July 6. Eighteen

An Alabama Bank Vailed.
Montgomery, Ala.,' July 6.
Mosers Bros.' bank suspended pay
ment this morning. They say
their assets will amount to more
than the liabilities. Neither figures
can yet be approximately esti
mated. The failure is due to a
stringency of money. The liabili
ties are said to be about 50J,000.
They did a sayings-bank business
and bad scores of depositors among
the poorer people. There is a
great throng of them around the
doors of the bank this evening.
A local bank last Saturday otTeied
Mosers Bros. $100,000 to tide over
the crisis, but they refused to take
it. The firm stands very high for
integrity, and few believe there is
anything dishonest about the sus
pension. Each individual member
of the firm included bis home, all
his real estate and personal prop
erty in the schedule of assign
ment. A Royal Marriage.

OLD WORLD AFFAIRS
RUSSIA AND IKY M!K 1:1---l'I.KASKI
YI I IS i;.iI.AN!l.
It Has Grown Out of the Cordiali
ty of the British Reception to
the Kaiser.
London, July '. A Paris dis
patch says that a profound impres
sion has been created thpre by the
enthusiasm aid cordiality of the
British reception to the kaiser.
It is universally regarded as proof
that England will be found with
the triple alliance in a European
war, and France and Russia will
have to calculate on the hostility
of the British fleet. The public
sen timet t is very Ftrong ayain.-t
England, and almost no other
Klitical matter is a topic of pub
lic discussion. There is no con
cealment of the feeling that the
odils against France and Russia
have been increased to a degree
that arouses great apprehensions
as to the ossible re-ult of a war
and wnile this has with many a
tendency to discourage war-like
agitation, others urge an early
quarrel lefore the dreibund be
comes solidified, and while Eng
land is not bound by formal agree
ment to sustain the cause of the
alliance. The answer of Russia
to the renewal of the triple alli
ance has been the aJdrion of t wo
more regiments to the force in
Volhynia near the Austrian frou-
ier, and increased activity in the
-instruction of ircn-clads. The
.ussian government, says a
Y'ienna dispatch, is not believed
to be ready for a conflict at this
time, or likely to be ready in the
course of this year. All indica
tions point to the strengthening of
fleet and army for a dite bevond
1891.
Union Pacific Railway Statement.

the scenes of which are laid in

of the leading characters seen mav
be mentioned. Iora Page, a
young country lass, in love with
Si; Felix Schmanlt, an inventive

stock speculator; Ezra Page, an
honest old farmer who does not

A CYCLONE'S FURY.
It Sweeps Away a Portion of
Baton Rouge.
MANY KILLED AND WOUNDED,
The P.nitDDtUry Walls Blown Djwn
Tha Pstb of the Dsadly
Blast.
Baton Roloe, La., July 6. A
cyclone passed over the lower por
tion of the town this morning,
unroofit g houses, tearing up im
mense trees and carrying pieces of
the wreck through the air for
many blocks. The boulevard is
iitteied with trees that were torn
up by the wind, and pieces of
house tops and other timbers.
The penitentiary walls were
blown down. Ten persons were
killed and thirty wounded. The
factory building is demolished,
and the hospital and penitentiary
are a mass of ruins. The steam
ship Smoky City was blown to
pieces, there being nothing left
nut the hull. Several of the crew
were badly injured.
THE KARMEK9 ALLIANCE,
A Rupture In Minnesota Over Dis
honest Leaders,
Northkiei.d, July G. There is
every evidence of a rupture in the
ran-isofthe farmers alliance in
Southern Minnesota owing, it is
alleged, to the perpetration of an
outrageous swindle by several of
the leaders. For a year or two
the members have been furnished,
through the alliance, with farming
implements, twine, etc., at a sup
posed reduction in price. The
greatest saving was on the twine.
It is true that the twine has been
supplied at a bi reduction, but an
investigation mad by a suspicions
alliance man has developed a
startling anil nios bare-faced
swindle. The alliance traders had
liought a cheap article of sisal
i wine and had it colored the color of
pure manilla and sold for that ar
ticle, giving the seller a very large
margin. It is said that $15,000
had ben made out of the swindle
thus worked upon the purchasers.
The farmers are verv indignant,
and there is a possibility that the
whole fabric of the alliance will
succumb in the storm that has
been raised.
GOING TO EUROPE.
Thousands of Americans Crossing
the Atlantic.
New York, July 6. There is
still no sign of thinninif in the
ranks of the vast army of tourists
and travelers of all sorts and con
ditions that is steadily moving
Eur jpeward. Every week new
recruits swell the list of the big
passenger fleet, and it is safe to
-ay that at least 100,000 persons,
big and little, have left this port
on transatlantic steamships since
May 1st. On live steamships sail
ing to-day were 1051 saloon and
cabin passengers, an increase of
more than 300 over the number
sailing one week ago. On the
French steamship Le Bretagne,
bound for Havre, were 298 saloon
passengers. The Umbria carried
398, the Alter 215, the Spaarndam
1G5 for Rotterdam, the Alaska for
Liverpool 300 and the City of
Rome for Liverpool 416.
Russian Officials Involved.
London, July G. The inY'es'i
gation into the kidnaping of Rus
sian wemen near the Turkish
Asiatic frontier has, it is sail,
pointed clearly to complicity on
the part of the Russian local
authorities, who have been deriv
ing a lucrative traffic in aiding
Turkish slave traders to abduct
females from Russia for sale to
Turkish harems. As the inves
tigations if pursued, would strike
persons high in public favor and
valued for their services in other
respects, it is understood the in
quiry will end in a warning to
local officials that the kidnapping
nni:,t be .discontinued under peril

Washington, July 6. Mr. Hen
ry W. Blair has been again turned
down by the Chinese government.
Mr. Blair, it will be rememlered,
was nominated to the Chinese mis
sion during the closing days of the
last session of congress. Simulta
neously' with the president's ac
tion the Chinese legation forward
ed to Pekin a complete abstract of
Mr. Blair's record on the Chinese
question. After it had been read
and considered, the imperial gov

receive Mr. Blair, and a cablegram
to that effect was immediately for
warded to its minister here. "
A reply was sent to China in
hope, presumably, that when Li
Hung Chun; found how anxious
the administration was about it '
lie might relent and consent to re

days ago. It was intended to keep
it a clo-e secret, but its contents
leaked out to-day. They entered
a polite, but none the less a firm
refusal to accept Mr. Blair as our
diplomatic representative. What
action the administration will take
is problematical. Mr. Blair took"
the oath of office on March 4, and
since that time he has been draw- .

lord's lc.lt ear and made him reel.
Stung wore by Milan's words,
than by his blew, his lordship
squared off and landed a heavy -left-hander
on the royal Servian
nose, knocking off the skin and
producing first blood. His second
blow, on the mouth, endangered
