Smiles and Protestations Do Not Move the Customs Officials, From New York comes the story that four women were disconsolate and anury at the Custom-house The surveyor's men say that they are four dressmakers, who have been seeing Paris and laying in a stock of ideas and about $15,000 worth of goods for the fall traae. They arrived in New York, two on the eteamship .La Touraiue and two on the Elder. They forgot to tell the Custom house inspectors ju.'t what was in their trunks, and the trunks were detained. Mme. Lang and Mine. Mulvaney of Louisville owned three trunk, and cauie on La Touraine. Miss E. Montayne of New York, and Mrs. Boyd, who said she lived in Denver, but whoee business cards were marked Minneapolis, brought the other four trunks on the Elder. The trunks were opened at the Custom-house and were filled with expensive dresses, marked with the names of well-known Paris dressmakers, silks and velvets, opera cloaks, silk under-clothing, satin and silk slippers, laces and a number of dresses and cloaks that had not been completed. There were bills in the trunks showing where most of the goods had been purchased, and on many of the dresses were tags on which were marked the maker's name and price. Whan the owners of the trunks found that their plead ings had no effect they engaged lawyers. KEFl'TG TUB CHARGES. Kansas Not as Bad Oft as Has Been Told. From Topek8, Kansas, comes the report that a committee ap pointed at the recent meeting of the republican league clubs of Kansas to draft an addrecs to re fute the alleged slanders against the state by advocates of the peo- Dle s party gave its report to toe oublic. ft is a carefully prepared statement of the progress made by the state and is optimistic in tlie extreme. The members ot tbe committee declate that "the crime of being a state of borrow ers they will attempt neither t palliate nor deny." from Hi. platform of the republican league this sentence is quoted: "On debts stand for our investments and not for our losses. They rep resent our enterprise and not our misfortune; our property, and not our poverty. They will be paid to the last penny in legal cur rency of the country, not a coin clipped, not a cVlar depreciated." Kelerence is maae to sue enormous crops raised in Kansas this year and the estimate made that $104,- 000,000 will represent the net re sult ot tae year s woric. 'some of this profit," says the report, will be added to our permanent capital, but most of it will be em ployed in liquidating our indebt edness. Kansas is marvelous in its history, matchless in its re sources and magnificent in its achievements, and the party that maligns the state and dishonors itself is already struck with the blight of death." The State Fair Next Week. Everything about the state fair grounds is livening up, and tbe number oi people mere, togeiner with tents, booths, etc., make a lively seen. The state far begins next week, and as the days pass the indications for its success grow brighter. Machinery ball, which this year is to be a large tent, is now being erected. Exhibitors are already filling the pavilion and the track is in good condition. The stables are pretty well filled with fine horses and much more ro?m is engaged. Electric-light wires are strung about the grounds and pavilion, which are to be lighted by arclights during the fair. Work on the fruit palace is progressing and will be in trim Monday, when the decorations will be completed, ine grounds are livelier to-nay man on any previous Thursday before the fair. Insane en Religion, Hon. B. J. Pengra, of Strinefield well known throughout Oregon. was on the north bound local train yesterday ,inSheriff Nolan's,charge of Eugene, en route to the insane asylum at Salem. He has just been examined before the Lane county court and the prosecuting attorney on a cnarge ot insanity and waa committed to the anvlnm This is a very sad case and his many irienas sorely regret this termina tion of a vigorous business and public career. For years Mr, Pengra has shown signs of mental J 1 S r - - uecay. out nis iriends never thought it necessary to take steps towara commitment until re cently. O. A. Eccieson and 8. W. Condon made the charge which resulted in the examination. Mr. rengra nas bad many important railway projects on his mind for years, and he now has the wildest ideas on the subject. His work and anxiety to get a road to Spring held has taxed bis brain to the utmost. He also talks wilJly on religious subjects and is a radical spiritualist. PROVES EFFECTIVE. The New Explosive Stands the Test of Actaal Experiment. A New York dispatch pays that ii. ij. uerdes oi Ban Francisco con ducted testa of terrorite. a high explosive made in California, for tlie benebt of government onicers at Fort Hamilton. About twelve and a half pounds were placed in a shell and buried six feet under ground. This was fired by elec tricity and lelt a hole in the earth nearly circular and over thirteen feet in diameter. At a second test made in the afternoon a shell was buried seven feet in the earth with a charge of eleven pounds thirteen ounces, a hole was dug of an average diame ter of twelve and six-tenths feet At the final testa charge of twelve pounds and fifteen ounces was buried seven feet. It left a hole fifteen -feet in diameter. No offi cial opinion was passed upon the merits ot tlie explosive, but Mr. Gerdes has been invited by Colonel Mordecai to go to Governor's island and consult with him re garding further experiments. GIRL KOBBEKS. They Eagage In the Footpad Busl- nees la the Regulation Style. A dispatch from Fa'.l River. Mass., says that Alice Greenwood and Agnes Sexton, each about 12 years of age, were walking along Pleasant etreet on Saturday even ing, wnen ttiey were accosted by three other girls of about the same age. Ihe three strangers demand ed tbe purse which the Greenwood girl carried. A aurally she ob jected. Then the three girls neid tier up in the most ap proved style witn many improve ments. One of them held the girl s arms while another of them put snuff in her nose. When the victim sneezed she loosened her hold upon the pocket-book, and the third young robber improved the opt jrtunity to snatch it from her hand. They ran away,, but were overtaken and obliged to give up their booty. Hops a Failure, Roseburg Plaindealer : Hop picking commenced in the Civil Ben country a few days ago. but suspended very suddenly when it was found the crop was worthless and could not be disposed of. Lice and the blight completely ruined tlie bops, though they pre sent a very fine appearance as they angon the vine. The pickers worked two days in the McBee yard, but when it was ascertained how badly the hops were affected work ceased, and, the remainder of the crop will be left in the field. Tbe hops at Dillard's and Kent's are Bimiliarly affected, so it is re ported, and will not be gathered This is a sad blow to the hop growers, who confidently ex pected a return of several thousand dollars as the reward of their labor. Why Net Adept this Method? The assessor ot Umatilla county some time ago sent a circular letter to every mortage holder in the county, whose name appeared on the records, in order to obtain information regarding any of the mortgages that might have been paid in whole or in part. Some four or five hundred replies have been received, and as a result the assessor has checked off from the mortgage transcript (163,179 in mortgages some which were paid four or five years ago, but which according to tbe law that had to be placed on the roll every year. This example might be followed by other countries. Yaqnlna Passengers. San Francisco, Sept. 11. The steamship Willamette Valley from San Francisco at 3 :35 p. m.

Officer HE FALLS IN THE STREET. A Wall Xatws Astor Aeeatsd of Doing th Bsostlsr-Hs 8syt It Wt lot Him. San Francisco, Sept. 11. Late last night onicers at the branch oolice station on Folsom and Fifth streets were startled by a pistol snot tired just outside tbe door. Rushing out. they found Officer 01 rant lying dead on the pavement with a bullet hole iar hia head. A man was seen running away, and on being stopped they found he had handcuffs on his wrists. The cuffs were afterwards found to be long to Officer Grant. Maurice is. Uurtis, "bam'l ol Posen," the well-known actor, who shot and killed Police Officer Alexander Grant, who had ar reeted him last night, tells the fol lowing story of the affair: "I was at the Grand opera bouse last night with my wife to see Bern hardt in 'Camille.' 1 left the theater about 10 o'clock to go to the Tivoli theater with William Kerling, one of tbe proprietors. We had a drink together, and I left him to return to the opera house for my wife. When I reached the corner of Third and Mission streets, I was suddenly tumbled into the gutter and after that I rnmember nothing, only somebody pulling and jerking me about until I found myself in a wagon with handcuffs on my Wil8tS. ' When Curtis was taken to the jail last night be appeared to be under the influence ot liquor, and incoherently told of hia doings during the night, protesting he had no weapon and that he was innocent of the murder. The place where the officer arrested Curtis is some blocks from the station-house, but the shooting occurred within half a block of the station, and within hearing of a number of policemen. Grant was killed immediately, the bullet entering the middle of tbe fore head near the hair, penetrating the brain. He was 38 years of age and had been on the police force about 5 years. He was well liked by nis brotner officers, many ot w hom were unable to control their grief when he was brought to the station dead. UurtiP, who is known throughout the United States from the character of "Sam'l of Posen" in a play which was created for him, has resided fcr the past two or three years at Berke ley, Cal. He bad acquired consid erable property through the profits accruing from his success as an actor and erected a large hotel at Bericeiev, wuicn nas since oeen con vetted into a seminary. He began life as a call-boy at the old California theater in this city, gradually working bis way up tlirougn minor roles to me posi tion of a recognized actor in come dy parts. The pistol with which the shooting was done was round in the street near the scene of the trsgedy. Curtis was visited by a large number ot friends at the city prison this morning. He still ad heres to his former statements and declares that Policeman Grant was shot and killed by some outsider and that he himself is innocent. His attorneys, George A. Knight and II. I. Kowalsky, claim the evi dence against him is wholly cir cumstantial, and that a number of witnesses intimate with Curtis will testify they never knew bim to go armed. No date has been set lor the examination. William Kreling, of the Tivoli opera house, this morning said that Curtis was not intoxicated when he left die Tivoli, although he may have been drinking some. Mrs. Curtis did not know of the shoot ing until this morning. She told the reporter that she never knew that her husband carried a pistol except when he went bnnting. She thought there must be some mistake about the whole thing. FIGHT TO THE DEATH. Two Desperadoes at Bay In an Cs- oeeapled Hat. Pi bcell, I.T., Sept. 11. A fierce fight occurred near here yesterday, in which a United States marshal and party captured two noted des perate outlaws, atter mortally wounding them. A posse, in charge of Deputies Swayne, Cook and El- kins, have been on the trail of William Carley and Ross Riley several days. They cornered them to day in an unoccupied hut and demanded their surrender. The outlaws responded with a volley trom tbeir revolvers. Tbe posse returned the fire. A fusilade waa kept up for some time, the outlaws finally surrendering. Iliey had both been shot, it is thought fatal ly. None of the posse was injured. Carley is a horse thief, who escaped from the Arkansas penitentiary. Riley is a Cherokee negro ; be was oae of seven murderers of Cbero- kees. MASaiNO TROOPS. Russia Evidently Means Se ass thing By the Movement. Berlin, Sept. 11. A correspon dent who has been visiting tbe VOL. VI KO. 242 , -esian southwestern frontier of tbia as far as the Danube, " not tmnna era ranidlv arriv ing and in large numbers. This would be the bue of departure for a Russian army advancing toward the Balkans and Constantinople. AtTutsch Keg fonr regiments were quartered where last year there were only two; at Valkovo and Kilio, five regiments had recently arrived in addition to the men al ready there. At Kagul three regi ments arrived also about a week ago, and at Jalpuch reinforcements of 7000 men have recently taken np their qnarters. Troops are pour ing in at the same rate in other villages. These places are of little consequence apart from their sit uation, where an army of invasion would naturally concentrate. In view of these facts, the correspon dent concludes that Russia intends at no distent date, to make a croft the Danube for Constan tine pie, and tnat ber preparations show that this time she means to have a force sufficient to overcome all obstacles. ITATA CASE. New Phase Uereleped by the Steamship Cempaty. Los Angeles, Sept. 11. Attor ney William ooodncn ot .new York, as proctor for the South American Steamship Company.the new claimant lor tbe uuiiian steamer Itata, has filed an answer to the information for libel against that vessel, in which he contends that no lawful seizure of the vessel has ever been made ; that tbe seiz ure at Iquique in June was without the territorial limits of the Unite d States, and the surrender of the ltata was compelled by violence bv tbe United States cruiser Charleston and was a breach of In ternational law and the law of na tions. . Furthermore, that the claimant company, which built tbe Itata for traffic purposes, had no participation in the use of the steamship for the alleged uufawful purposes which caused the seizure, and ought not, therefore, to be de prived of its property, ihe answer prays that the veseel be released and that claimant bo allowed costs and also damages for detention. CHIN AHAN BRIDEGROOM. Captarea a Handsome White Girl Whom He Marries, Portland, Sept. 11. There ia a strong probability that a marriage was consammsted at Vancouver this morning between Elizabeth Perry, a 17-yearold girl from Waahougal, and Nip Gee, an Americanized Chinaman. The story as published this morning was inaccurate, and the truth of the affair seems to be that it is tbe result of nasty and ill-advised action on tbe part of he employer of the girl and her lover. Miss Perry is a tall girl, as large and well deyeloped as a woman of 25. She has dark hair, brown eyes and a more than ordinary prepossessing appearance. Gee, the Chinaman, is not a bad-looking fellow, with bis close-cropped hair, civilized clothes and straight eyes, tie speaks correct bnglisli, and as Miss Perry says, "He is all right, even if be is a Chinaman." A Stockbroker's Death. Philadelphia, Sept. 11. About 8 o'cloca this morning the janitor of the Hachnien building discov ered the dead bodv of Charles M. Stokes, Sr , a well-known stock broker, lying on the floor of his office. There was a bullet hole through the dead man'a head, and beside his body lay a revolver with one chamber discharged. The case is evidently one of sui cide. No one baa been found who saw Stokes alive later than 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. It ia thought tbe deed of self -deetructic n waa committed about that time. Stokes was; about 60 years of age and one of the best-known stock brokers in thia city. He waa a member of the firm of 8. G. Wal maugh & Co. The dead man leaves a wife and six children. Trouble Feared With the Miners. Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 11.

Sev eral thousand rounds of ammuni tion will also be sent there. There is much uneasiness all through East Tennessee, and the miners are reported to be making great threats. A Mnrderous Tramp. Wheatland, Cal., Sept. 11. A brakeman on the southbound Oregon express, which passed through here at 2 o'clock this morning, was knocked off the train by a tramp whom be was trying to dislodge irjm the blind-baggage car. The train continue to Lin coln before the absence of the brakeman was discovered. The engine went back for him. Tbe brakeman was lound not senonsiy hurt. Tackled the Wrens; Mis, C Green River, Utah, Sept. 11. Yesterday Cass Hite and A. F. Kobler revived an old quarrel. Kohler sot a Winchester rifle and paraded the streets, saying he would shoot Hite. The latter went out to pacify bim; when Kohler drew a revolver and fired three times, killing Kohler in stantly and wounding Frank Drake, who waa standing near by.
