D., says: The electiOD of Pierre as the capital ol South Dakota bids fair to create a boom which will outrival that of Oklahoma last spring. StraDgurs are flecking into the city by thousands. Over SoOO.OOO worth ot pro pcrty chanced hands here to day. Lots which could have been bought a week ago for $100 were sold ta-day for 51000 FROM TACOMA. Tacoma, Oct. 4. At a conterence to day between Union Pacific and Northern Pacific railway men, an agreement was arrived at whereby the Union Pacific, which is now building from Port Town Bind to Portland, will cross the Northern Pacific at a point between Chehalis and Winlock, at the town of Eleanor. The location is a very eligible one, from a railroad standpoint. Of course the iunction of these two roads will make a town of considerable importance. THE SPOKANE BELIEF STORES. SroxANE Falls, Wn., Oct. 4. The pro secution in the case of Policeman William Gillespie, on examination before Justice Dunning on a charge of grand larceny of relief supp.ies, completed the examina tion of witnesses to-uav and rested their case. The defense, on cross-examination, iutioduced a large number of orders which had been filled and signed by per sons not members of the relief committee, on whose orders alone supplies were to be issued. Harry Hay ward, who bad charge of the supplies, testified that he never tilled such orders, and that if they were failed it was by his employes on their own responsibility. 1 be attorneys lor the defense mam tamed that it was a free pitch in for everybody and that Gillespie pitched in with the rest. They also raised the point that as the goods were taken by defend ant on different occasions, be was only guilty of petty larceny in each case; that these several cases could not be linked toge'ber to constitute grand larceny. The point was overruled. SOUTH DAKOTA. Huron, S. D., Oct. 4, Chairman T. F. Tundley, of the Democratic state central committee, to-night placed the total Democratic vote in the state at 30,000, and claims twenty Democratic members of the legislature. He says that the vote is larger than was expected, Secretary Uusbell, of tie state prohibi tion committee, says he has sufficient returns to guarantee the statement that prohibition has a mojority ot bWO in the state, there being 3000 more than was expected. AN OLD FEUD REVIVED. Jamboree, Ky Oct. 4. The old Hat- field-McGoy feud bas broken out again Tete McCoy's daughter was to marry John Uanlcy, a relative ot the Juathelds. The members of both factions swore to prevent it. Tuesday night, as they stood up to be married, a volley was poured in on them, killing the bride and groom and latally woundmg the preacher. THE GRAIN CROP OF EUROPE. Washington, Oct. 4. Commercial Agent Jas. IT. Smith, stationed at May ence, Germany, reports to the state de partment, under date ot August 29, that the grain cr ps of Europe for this year show a large falling off. The averuge of wheat for all Europe is 81 this year, as compared with 03 for 1888, and 110.5 for 1887. A GROWING MAJORITY. Spokane Falls, Wash., Oct. 4. The following telegram was received to-day ULYMPIA, Oct. 4. John L. Wilson: Your msiority m the territory will not be less than 9000. You head the ticket. John F. Gowey, Chairman. ONLY SEVEN DEMOCRATS. The friends of H. W. Fairweather, Re publican nominee for the senate in the Third district, now claim his election by 4 msjonty. John F. Gowey, chairman ot the Re publican committee, telegraphs Vice Chairman Fairweather, that- the Repuli cans have elected 98 members of the leg islature. The Democrats have 7 barely enough for a caucus. MONTANA CLAIMED BY BOTH PABTIES. Helena, Mont. Oct. 4. The legisla tive results are still iu doubt. The Re publicans claim a minority ol one on joint ballot, the senate being a lie. This includes three Republican representa tives from Silver Bow. The Democrats elaim all but one in that county, and a safe nmjonty of live on joint ballot, which may possibly reach nine. Appear ances lavor a Democratic majority, but the Republicans allege fraud in Butte and Annaconda, and will doubtless tett the validity of the returr3. It success ful, they will secure a majority on joint ballet aud also elect 'ower, Rep., gov ernor. v Last night conservative Republicans conceded the election of Toole, Dtm, governor by 45. To day this majority is apparently enlarged to 300 and possibly 500. There is no doubt of Toole's elec tion by a safe majority. The Democrats concede Carter's mnjority by 900. The Republicans claim 1200. THE GREAT NOBTHEBN BAILWAT. New York, Oct. 4. Within the last month the pnee of the stock of the St Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba Railroad Company has advanced 'about twenty points to 120, The reason for this appre ciation is now made clear by the circular issued by the company last night. It sets forth that within the last ten years the railways under the management of the company have increased their mileage from 640 to 3200 miles. J urther exten sion will be necessary, and with a view of merging the control and concentrating the tiuances of the system it bas been determined to organize a new corpora tion. THE NATION'S GUESTS. Chicago, Oct. 4. A Washington special to the Herald, Dem.. says that Blaine's American congress, whose sur face has appeared eo tranquil, rtally started off with a storm, which at one time threatened to wreck the hopes of its projector. The trouble was all about Blaine's being elected president. On Tuesday, when it became apparent that the secretary of state would be chosen to preside, the Central and South American delegates went iato secret session, and the proposi tion to make Blaine president ot the congress was denounced as unfair, illegal and unprecedented. The point made was that Blaine was not . a member of the congress, and that be could not preside continnously. The conference lasted un til midnight. On the adjournment, sev eral members declared that they would not attend the meeting of the congress the next day, at which Blaine was to be elected president. The delegation from Chili and the Ar gentine Republic kept their word.. Tbey attended neither the meetiug of the con gress, nor the president's reception, and have not yet joined the excursion which the congress is making through the coun try. Whether they will at any time par ticipate in the sessions of the congress, with Blaine sitting as president, remains to be seen. A YOUTHFUL HUNTER SHOT. Chehalis, Wn, Oct. 4. A boy named Ben Hovies, at Alpha, was accidentally shot in the arm by his brother, while hunting, 4eanog away two inches of the hone near the shoulder. WAS HE MURDERED? battle Wn, Oct. 5. The unknown man found lying beneath the Jackson street bridge Wednesday moruing, was photographed and buried to day. It is thought that he may be Scott Evans, an engineer, late from Mobile, but this is not settled. There is very strong suspi cion that the man met with foul play. and a diligent investigation is being mad by the police. WELL RECEIVED IN MEXICO. St. Louis, Oct. 4 A special from the City of Mexioo says: Secretary Blaine's address at the openirg of the liiternation al congress of American nations was well received here. CJommcnls were neara on the streets to-day which place it as the strongest utterance of the class ever enunciated by an American. The Mexican delegation to the inter national American congress, it is expec ted here, will bring up the question rf the high tariff of the United States. BUSINESS MEN SPEAK THEIR MINDS. Tacoma, Wn.. Oct. 0. A meeting of business men was held at The Tacoma to-night where the present city govern menl was deBCunced in the most unqual ified terms, and some of the speakers referred to the present mayor as being half intoxicated at alt times. Une speak er said the votes given in favor of a sa loon license on Tacoma avenue last night were in favor of dives, thieves, tootpads and thugs of this city. REMARKABLE SURGERY, Tacoma, Wn., Oct. 6. An operation was performed on young Crosby to-day, and twentv-tix inches of torn intestines were removed. He is under the influ ence of opiates and his physicians con sidcr there are good hopes of bis recov ery. If he can only survive lor thirty-six hours after the operation they think there is every chance for his life. HE DID NOT RECOVER. Enoch Crosby, the young man (hot last night on C stieet, expired at 10 o'clock to-night from the effect of Lis wound. ELECTIONS IN FRANCE. Paris, Oct. 3. Re-ballots were taken to day in the districts in which the recent elections were held without defiuite results. The weather was fine, and a host of elec tors Dresentea themselves at the pons. The followers of Boulanger are deserting him. M. LaGucrre atd other former Boulangists have ceased to mention the general's name, styling themselves only levisionists. It is tstimated that two thirds of the 183 constituencies which balloted to-day have gone republican. The conservatives calculated upon the return of two of their candidates in Paris. All members of the national committee will confer with Boulanger in Loudon on 1 uesday next, prior to bis departure lor the Isle of Jersey. Returns from 170 districts in which ballots were taken show the election of 127 republicans and 48 anti-republicans. 'PEACE IS CERTAIN." Paris, Oct. 6. A Berlin correspond ent of the Journal Best Debate asserts that Prince Bismarck, in receiving the president of the woodworkers congress, said : "The foreign situation is so peace ful that you may set to work without the slightest fear. It was not always so. Not long ago England still hesitatid whether to act as a mad bull or as a fat ox chewing the cud. To-day her reso lution is taken, and I can assure you the maintenance of peace is certain." England's commercial jealousy. London, Oct, G. The Times, of this city, has been devoting considerable space to the congress ot American nations which convenes in Washicgton this week Ed i tori all 7 this journal now says: "It is just cause for pride that in the capital of the United States this week will meet rep resentatives of all the American republics. great and small. "Uommon institutions, witti histories in many ways alike, awaken sympatny Tucie is diamatic btness in the lact that the sons of Bolivar and Miranda should visit the shnnc of Washington. We do not grudge the secretary ot state the sat isfaction ot feeling that it has (alien to him to bring about this meeting. lie may justly believe tie has hereby increas ed his country's legitimate and predes tined -lnnuence over the southern conti nent, but to that influence time and the course of events have put strict limits, and he must see as we do, that the inter national congress can do but little to di vert the current of commerce determined by those true trade winds, the interest of mankind. Few parts of the world lie for most purposes so far apart as the United States and the communities of boutb America Distance in miles is always the true meas ure of moral iropinquity. Hithcrtotherc bas beeu strange ignorance ot countries intended, one wouid, not merely lrooi looking at the map bnt from their history, to be familiar with each other. For most practical purposes connection between Rio and Buenos Ayres and London is really far closer than that between those capitals and New York. English capi tal nourished enterprises on the banks ol the Flatte river. Of our bankers thess communities borrow, and on the stock ex change and on continental bourses their securities are chiefly dealt in. Tbey pre fer English to American goods. Com mon ignorance ot North ana South Ameri ca is admitted by those who promoted the congress, and it will help to make a breach in this wall of separation. It is agreed that purely political ques tions will be, avoided, not that there is any danger or dread of trouble. There may be harmles?, unexciting talk about arbitration, common silver coin and the extradition of criminals; we shall hear much of Panama and Nicaragna canal routes, bnt discussions must turn chiefly on fiscal matters. Indeed, the only clear ly expressed hope about the congress is, that it will promote trade between these countries. How strange, it is said, that countries geographically near should have compar atively so little intercourse, w nat mignt not be done by a few subsidized lines of steamers plying between New York and Rio, Buenos Ayres and Valparaiso? Above all what might not be accomplish ed by American Zollverem or the estab lishment ol a reciprocity among Ameri can nationf? This last is the chief hope expressed by Mr. Blaine's friends. If the congress bas any definite hope it is to establish reciprocity. The sui ject is a captivating one even quettiocs of reci procity in the abstract but giing effect to it 13 encompassed with difficulties. We shall be curious to see how they are dealt with by protectionist members of General Harrison's cabinet. 8HOWING THEIR HAND. Washington, Oct. 6. Congressman Roger Q. Mills, of Texas, is in the city. In conversation to day be said mat though the Democrats were iu the minority tbey were fully conscious or their power, and would use it. "We don't propose," said be, that the Repub lican majority shall pass a single meas ure without our consent. For instance, yon may depend upon it that the rules will not be changed by the Republican majority in my essential feature. We do not propose to permit them to be chang ed, as is desired by Mr. Reed and others, in any particular leature, nor will we permit any of the proposed legislation looking to the control by congress of elections, for we see very plainly what the purpose of that is. The same can be said of contested cases that will come up before congress. We do not propose to allow the Republican majority -to be further increased ad libitum by throwing out Democratic members, as seems to be the purpose. In other words, we propose to exercise control of the bouse just as much as though we were still in the minority, because we know oar minority is strong enough to make us virtual rulers." GOVERNMENTAL ATFOINTMEKTS. George A. Hamilton has been appoint ed fourthxlass postmaster at Grass Vallcv, Sherman county, Or, vice E. C. Hamilton, resigned. New postofhees have been established at the following places: At Beaver, Til lamook countv, with Benjamin Bunn as postmaster; at Vinson, Umatilla county. with Kalph r. Moody as postmaster. Pensions have been granted to the fol- lowiag residents of Washington : Origi nal invalids John G. Banks and Edward A, Gouser. MONTANA STILL IN DOUBT. St. Paul, Oct. 7 A Pioneer Press Helena, Mont- special says: The Her ald bad advices to-night that the Repub licans have elected the whole legislative ticket in Madison county, one member tor which has heretofore been conceacd to the Democrats, and also that the Re publicans have gamed one member in Fergus county. If the other Republican claims hold good, this will make the state seutte a tie and the house Republican by one to lour majority. Chairman bcligman, of the Republican state committee, still claims the legisla ture, and does not conceed the election o Toole lor governor. ' Ibe ouicial count in Park county will be made this week, and that will settle the matter, unless the Republicans will institute a contest, which now seems probable. ONE LONE DEMOCRATIC SENATOR. Olymfia, Wn., Oct. 7. Chairman Gowey ot the state central committee, bas received this evening authentic in forma tion thac the lion. 11. W. Fairweather has been elected senator of Lincoln coun ty, instead of C. C. May. This will leave only one Democratic senator to meet with the minority when the legislature convenes here next month. INDIAN TROUBLE AT MT. VERNON. Seattle, Oct. 7. A hot skirmish occurred, near Mount Vernon, Skagit county, bunday night, that lesulted in the death ol one Indian and the serious wounding of another. The occurrence was on the farm of Harry Kimble, who, with George Lester, was one of the part ies to the altray. Ahout 5 1'. M. an Indian met a young son ot Kim hie, who was takmgto market halt a dozen pheasants. Ihe Indian attacked the boy aud took the pheasants away from him, Ihe cries ot the boy were heard by his father, who came to the rescue and gave the Indian a sound thrashing. The Indian then left, but returned about midnight with a party of Indians. I hey immediately opened fire on Kimble's house. Kimble, with his friend Lester, so well defended his place that one Indian was killed aud another wounded. Other Indians are now under arrest. RESCUED AT BEA. Victoria, B. C, Oct. 7. The British ship Iforcross, Captain Roup, arrived Saturday, 146 days out from London with a general cargo, bhe will carry return cargo of salmon. On August 7 the Knrrrnitk. in latitndft 4!) south, loner- I ltude 78 west, sighted an American ship , , D living a nag oi uisiress, luey siguaieu that the ship was leaking. It was blow ing a gale, with a verv heavy sea. The Norcross stood by and and they lowered two boats. Owing to the rough weather it was impossible to board tno British ship, so a lite buoy was bent on a rope and Heated astern, and was caught by those iu the boats. The Norcross then sent down another line, which a man bent around him and then jumped into the sea and was hauled aboard the British ship. This was repeated until all were aboard The ship was the William McGi'veray, of Searsport, Maine, Captain Dunbar, from Pisaqua for New Yoik, with a cargo of nitrate. On August 10 eight of the resued crew of twenty-one were transferred to the ship Iodiar. Empire, bound for Iquiqui. Captain Dunbar and the remainder of the crew were brought to Victoria. A survey was made on Saturday of the bark Martha, the crew ot which refused to go to sea, pronouncing the bark un seaworthy. Repairs were ordered and a second survey will be made before she can proceed to sea. A NEW DIRECTOR OV THE MINT. Washington, Oct. 7. President Har rison has appointed Edward O Leach, district of Colorado, director of the mint. His appointment meets with general ftvor in the treasury department, being regarded as iu the true hue of service re form, "promotion for merit.'' and in gen eral one of the best appointments made by the present administration. Leach was recommended tor the position by the entire Pacific coaot delegation, by the senators and leading icpublicans of New York state, aud by a hott of other dis tinguished public men familiar with his services and ability. FIRST RAIN OF THE SEASON. San Francisco, Oct. 7. The first rain ot the season began to fall here shortly after midnight and continued till about 11 o clock this morning. The Etcy is still overcast and there are indications of more rain this afternoon. Telegraphic reports from different parts of the state up to a late hour to night, indicate that the ram was haaviest in the northern part of the state. The grape crop bas been injured slightly in a few. places, but the second crop of grapes have been benefited. In general the rain was not heavy enough in middle Califor nia to do any damage. At Fresno and neighboring poiuts the first crop of rais ins is nearly all in. A light rain began falling at Los Angeles and other south ern points late this evening. The signal ofiice sent messages to Fresno, LosAngeles and Sin Diego, warning them of the approaching rain, so that the raisin makers could get their grapes under cover. The wine makers and table grape pro ducers will be the chief sutfereis fioui the storm. The wine grsi es of the Napa and Sonoma valleys are cet all picked yet, and decayed and mildewed clusters are sure to result. The violent rainstorm about Nevada City is hailed with delight, as it is assist ing matenailv la quenching t:ie great forest fires that have been raging in that vicinity. OREGON DIOCESE. New York, Oct. 7. In the general Episcopal convention this morning. Rev. Dr. Hauckel chairman ot the com mittee on new diocises, presented the report on the memorial from the mis sionary diocese of Oregon asking that it be admitted as a diocese. Kev. Dr. Hauckel said that the diocese of Oregon should be admitted. After further discusion the question Has divided. The simple proposition to admit Oregon as a diocese has unanimously earned aud then unanimous consent was given to the election of Bishop Morris. To See Fair May. It was a touching story which tbe late Lord Shaftesbury told of some of the greatest roughs in tbe East End of Lon don. A young clergyman in one of the most wretched oarisbes had asked his advice as to bow to deal with the terrible human vice and misery of the place. Lord Shaftesbury bad counseled him to begin by establishing a ragged school, and had at the same time furnished the necessary funds. The school met with immediate success, but it was impossible, in spite of all tbe Vicar's efforts, to in - duce tbe people to come to church, and tbe joung clergyman finally resolved to meet them by preaching in tbe open air. He selected one of the worst courts, and had the benches from the school taken there lor his hearers to sit upon, but was dismayed when he came upon the scene to see the front row occupied by a num ber of the most notorious roughs of the neighborhood, who, he made no doubt, had come to break up the services. To his suprise, however, everything went olf quietly, and when the services were over he stepped up to the leader of the gang, told him he had not expected to stc him there, though he was very clad to welcome him, aud asked him what had brought him. The man said : ''Well, sir, you've been very good to our litMe kids, so I said to my mates: 'Parson's goin' to preach in court on Sunday night. It's a roughish place. Let's go and see fair play.' That's what brought us." A DemocTittio ItiTormrr. Inter Ocean. J On the 10th of Mav last year, during the debate on the Mills bill, a prominent memoer oi tiie House, while speaking on the subject, made the following modest reference to himself: "I stand upon my record at home and with my people, aud if have ecer been the oppressor of labor, if 1 hate etcr ejected a man from his home, li 1 have ever endeavored in my lite, al though I have been, I may say. a large employer of labor, to put one laborer in the place of another, or to force one man in the place of another: if I have emolov- ea a aetcclivc not a I'lukertun detec - - . tive merely, but any kind of :t detective to come and protect my properly, or U protect it against the men who are work ing for me, or have worked for ine, I, sir, will resign mv seat and leave this hall the day it is proved."' This very beauit ful testimonial to his own virtues reads very prettily, and ought to be framed and hung np by the side of a somnvhut similar8tatement made by Z -tccheusot ol J, "Behold, the half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have done wrong to any man I restore unto him four fold. To read the aoove extract from his speech one would hurd'y suppose it was uttered by the hearties?, grasping mono polistthe Hon. W. L. Scott, olEri Pa. who has just locked out all his coal miners at Spring Valley, and ordered them all evicted lrom the house which they have been occupying, ht-cnu.-e they would not accept his cut r.f 15 cents a ton in their wages. While the other mine owners and operators in the section have compromised with their miners at n reduction of 7 cents a ton, ami partly off setting this reduction by other con cessions, the Hon. W. L. Scott, who is financially able to buy out every other mine nwner in the district, show his Demo-moncpelistic tendencies by refus ing to compromise in any way, and will only allow his meu to return to work, even at the reduction offered, upon con dition that they renounce their labor unions and contracts as individuals, a aemana wnicu none oi the otiier operat ors probably thought ot making. inis eume tariit-relorm ant'.-monopo-' list, who had much to say iu his speech about the trusts and monopolists which are plundering the people, who has been able to accumulate a lortuae esti-' mated at $20,000,000 or upward within a comparatively few years, who modestly says of himself in his- autobiography iu the Congressional directory, "Engaged in 1850 in coal aud shipping business, own ing and running several vessels on the lakes; subsequently became largely interested in tne manulacture ol iron and the mining of coal ns well as in the construction and opera lion of railroads, either as president or director of various lines aggregating over 22,UUU miies ot completed road, tne great est number of miles of railroad, probably which any one individual was ever officer or director of1 the roan who thus talked about himself, aud who was able to con tribute a sum variously stated at from $250,000 to $1,000,000 towaid Cleveland's campaign fuun. whose racehorse' have just won $60,000 in a single race, says he is unable to pay his workmen as good wages or offer them as liberal terms as are given by his poorer and smallei com petitors, notwithstanding the fact that the Spring Valley coal veins are amorjg the richest and most easily worked of any in that part of the State. While Frank Lawler and the Demo cratic papers notably the St. Louis J'c- publie are endeavoring to hold the Re publicans and the tun It responsible for this strike in patticular and all others in general, it is rather unkind for the boss Democrat of the last "reform" adminis tration and the London and Liverpool strikers to act as they have done and thus spoil all their ammunition. Many of the coal miners of Northern Illinois have al lowed themselves ot lute years to be de luded by demagogues into voting, the Democratic ticket, but is is to be hoped that having before them a striking ex ample of Democratic love for the work- ingmon, their eyes will be opened to the fact that they have been sieuuily voting against their own in'erests. A Spanish Legend. A certain young Spanish tiiar, a skillful painter, especially delighted in devising new aspects ot blessedness and beauty for the Virgin and in setting forth the devil in the most repulsive nud extravagant ugli ness. Satan bare this as best he could for some time, but at last he Determined to be revenged. He assumed the disguise of a most lovely maiden, and the uuliuppy friar, being of an amours disposition, fell lo'o the trap. She srnilled sweetly on her shaven wooer, but wou'd not surren der her Leiuty at a less price than Ihe rich reliqu-iriej and jewels of the treas ury of the monastery. Iu an evil hour the poor painter admitted her at mid night within the convent walls, and she took from ihe antique cabinet the pre cious things she desired. Tnen, as Ihc-y wound their w:iy through the moonlit cloi.-iter, the sinlul friar clutching his bootv with one arm unci Ins beauty with the oilier, the demon la.Jy suddenly cried out "Thieves! ' with chsboticul emrgy. Up slatted all tl e snoring monks, and rushed in disordi r lrom their cells, detect ing the unlucky brother making off with the plate. Him tbey tied safe to a piliar. leaving him there till the next day should determine his punishment white the breth ren went back to their pillows or their prayers; and then the cruel devil appear ed in his real ehape to the poor pnin'er, taunting and twitting him and making unmerciful mockery of his amorous over tures and bis prayers advising him cow to appeal to the beauty he had so loved to delineate In hi3 canvases! The peni tent monk took the advice; and lo the radiant mother of mercy descended in all her heavenly loveliness, unbound his cords, Dade him fasten t lie evil one in his place to the column, and appear among the monks the next morning at matins, which be did, to the great surprise of the brethren. He voted for his own condem nation ; but when they went to the sacris ty and found everything marvelously cor rect in its place, and when they went to the column they found the devil fast bound, they forgave the erring brother, and administered a tremendous flogging to the devil. The monk became not only "a wiser and a better man." but a better artist, be is now able to paint the Virgin more serenely beautiful, the arcb enemy more appallingly ugly than ever.
