Sa em. Dec. 14. All the county
aewsEors have returned their tax
rolls except Yamhill, and countinir
it the same as last year, the total
taxable property in the state is
nearly $120,000,000, being nearly
$12,000,000 more than last year's
rolls from the 31 counties.
The board to day adopted a plan
on the equalization of cattle, etc.
in all tha counties west of the
mountains, and such per cent,
will be added or deducted as to
make the asseesment on homes $50
and east of the mountains about
half as much. This will make a
i.iise of ;!0 per cent, in Clackamas,
20 in Coos and Jackson, 25 in Lirn
acd 50 in Clatsop. The cattle will
be about $12.50. Tnis makes a
raise of 10 per cent, in Clackamas.

A uniform rate of 1.G0 per head

while in Multnomah it is at only

from $lil in Baker to $54 in Mult

to $17 in Columbia. Sheep from

Congress and the World's Fair.
Washington, Dec. 14. Repre
sentative Springer, of Illinois, in
speaking of the actionof the board
of control of the world's Colum
bian exposition in deciding to ask
for an appropriation of $5,000,000
instead of a loan of that amount,
as at first contemplated, said : "I
do not think there is any good
reason to expect congress to make
an appropriation of the amount
speci'ied, for this congress will be
quite chary in its expenditures.
Congress will, however, I am con
fident, make a loan to the board
of that amount, for, guaranteed as
it will be by receipts which will
aggregate three times the amount
asked, there can be no failure to
have it repaid."

TWO I'KItSONS SHOT ItV MASK
ED MEN IN OROlUilA.
They Overpowered the Sheriff and
Shot Down Two ICIoters In
Their Cells.
Wavcross, Oa., Dec. 14. The
Ware county jail was broken into
yesterday morning abniit 2 o'clock
by a mob of lilty masked men,
who went to the cell con'aiuing
Welcome (iolden and ' Robert
K nil lit. leaders of the Varno riot,
and shot them dead. The slieriil
was called up by a man named
Johnson, who said he had a pris
oner that he w ished to put in jail.
The prisoner, he said, had killed
his son-in-law, and asked to be
locked up as a protection sgaiust
lynchers. The sheriff accompanied
Mr. "Johnson" to the jail, wheie
he found three men sitting on the
steps. As the sheriiT approached
the party jumped up and pre
sented their Winchesters, saying,
"Consider yourselves under ar
rest." The sheriff drew his pistol
and was caught by one of the men.
They then demanded that he

who had been concealed behind
the building, then appeared, and,
the sheriff still persisting in bis
refusal to open the doors, they
deputized four of their number to
take him back to his house and
guard him there. On the way
back he got away from them and
sent word to Waycross, summon
ing the military company and the
police. By the time these had ar
rived, however, the mob had com

A RELIGIOUS CKANIi.
Scheme of tha ICrnnk Arrested for
Annoying Tregldent Harrison.
Pittsbl'rg, Pa., Dec. 14. In
quiry at Homestead, a suburb of
Pittsburg, shows that Charles
Henry William Hogg, who was ar
rested at Washington last Friday
for annoying President Harrison,
is a crank of very large ideas. He
came to Homestead last spring
and remained until September.
He did not seek employment, and
seemed to have enough money on
which to live comfortably. He
sought the society of the clergy
men of the town and unfolded
the scheme which was uppermost
in his mind. He said that all re
ligious societies at present in ex
istence are founded on wrong
ideas, and that peace will not
come to the world until all the
churches are destroyed, and one
grand central edifice erected with
branches of the same kind in
every town. He said he had been
appointed to be master architect,
and that all who assisted in the
enterprise would le saints. He
left fcr Washington with the ex
press purpose of interesting Presi
dent Harrison in his project.
While at Homestead Hogg con
ducted himself as a gentleman,
and was considered harmless.

a lew Aipeot of ths Embrstllo
Washinton. Dec. 14. The
Chilian embroglio bears an ugly
look, and is giving the administra
tion more uneasiness than the
president or his advisers are likely
to admit. The country has been
lulled into fancies of peace by the
assurance of Minister Montt that
Chili did not want war. and that
justice would be done lr the ex
animation into the Baltimore
affair, and therefore was not pre
pared for the dispatch showing the
Chilians were preparing to work
themselves up into a paroxysm of
frenzy, which would give them the
required impetus to do something
desperate. It is evident they are
bent on returning another impu
dent answer to the claims of the
United Stages, and thattheanswer
will come in a few days unless
Mimstei Montt, woo is a cool-
headed man and appreciates fully
the power of this country both in
peace and war, succeeds in film
ing aside the torrent of bombast
his countrymen are evidently
ready to let loose. There is no
doubt of the truthfulness of the
report that on Saturday Secretary
Blaine received a dispatch from
Consul McCreery. stating that an
uIy feeling against the Ameri
cans was again cropping out in
Chili, and that trouble of a serious
nature might occur. About the
same time there came a long
cablegram from Minister Egan,
which was easily deciphered and
at once placed iu the hands of the
president. IhiB was to the effect
that the finding of the court
of inquiry into the bloody
Baltimore massacre would prob
ably oppose the claims of the
l uited Mates and migbt probably
be made the bat-is of a saucy and
unsatisfactory note to Secretary
blame, lhe minister thought the
government should be advised of
ihiscondition of things in advance.
Counsel McCieery has special
means of knowing what is trans
piring in Chili government circles,
because lie is probably the only
American in the country who can

urgent telegrams came the re
sponse, it is said, that the Monte

sixty days providing her armor
was put on at one. this shows
that it is proposed to waste no
time in preparing for action, and
the naval men say great anxiety
is expressed to have the Pacific
coast protected as soon as possible.
The construction of the eight, ten
and twelve-inch guns ordered by
me government some time ago is
also being watched with impa
tience, and the first ten will be
sent to San Francisco when finish

struct the carriages on the coast, if
that can be tioiie. These guns
will be planted at the entrance to
San Francisco harbor and an effort
will be made to provide for the
protection of San Diego bay at the
same time, these two points being

Thinks Field Is Insane.
Nkw York, Dec. 14. E. M.
Field is still at the Vernon house,
Mount Vernon, where he was
taken a few davs after the collapse
of the firm. Dr. Grainger is of
the opinion that he is insane. He
is most of the time in bed and
takes food sparingly, fearing that
it is poisoned. The relatives of
his partner, H lechers, who gave
him the $600,000 which Mr. Field
squandered, are on their way to
this country to demand an expla
nation and a settlement. It is
said that Mr. Field lost most of
