TOE HOLY WAR IN CANADA.
Ottawa. Out- Feb. 14. The political
.situation in Canada is alarnriDg, and un-
pa active measures aro laKen immeui
ately by the government to divert public
attention from the French qnestion Ibe
results mav be disastrous. 1 he introauc
:nn in the'eommons yesterday by Ddlton
McCarthy of a bill abolishing French as
the official language in Canada, was the
signal for the fiercest opposition irom
the French members on both sides of the
house. Sir Hector Langevln, minister of
public works, made a strong speccn
against the bill, and characterized Mc
Carthy as a fanatic or tne worst type
He said the French in Quebec would pro
tect their rights at the point of the bay
onet. Charlton, Protestant, said the
ministers remarks should not oe toler
ated in a British country. Excitement
during the session ran very bigb.
MORPIIINE WAS HIS FOOD.
Tacoma, Feb. 14. E P. Griswold was
found lying in the Beehke lodging house
to-day.unconsc:ous from the effects of
an overdose of morphine. In the man's
arms was a emss water-pitcher, empty
and by bis side was found an empty
morphine bottle. Life had been extinct
only a short time, as the body when ex
amincd was still warm and limp. Among
the man's effects were found in Ins
pockets five empty one-eighth ounce sul
phate of. morphia bottles, an empty
whisky bottle, beside letters, papers, a
gold watch, and about $8 in cash. Un
der the bed were five boxes, each con
taining twelve bottles the same as tbote
found in the man's pocket, but only six
or seven were empty. Tne body of the
dead man showed the effects of the habit
be was a slave to. In his pockets were
found papers and letters that fixed his
identity beyond a donbt.
GOLD BONANZA IN CHINA.
Chicago, Feb. 14. A conference of
great importance was held to-day be
tween two Chinese dignitaries and rep
resentatives of the big mining company
machinery firm of Fraser and Chalmers
of this city. The result was that
negotiations were formally entered into
looking to the construction of a 300-stamp
mill for the mountains of China. The
magnitude of tbe deal may be understood
that the mills, set up complete, will cost
nearly $400,000, this including transport
ation, labor, etc. Tbe Chinese informed
tbem that there had been discovered tbe
richest and most extensive gold-bearing
lead in the world. The Chinese for
many years have known that the moun
tains of Tai-Shan, in the province of
Shan-Tan contain gold, but not until a
year ago did they realize the extent of it,
when some one who bad worked in the
mines and mills in California began pros-
pectiug and discovered a bonanza, erected
a rude mill and from the. outset the pro
duct of gold was enormous. They
claim that not a ton of tire taken out has
yielded less than $700, while much of it
has run into the thousands.
MARION COUNTY FLOOD NEWS.
Salem, Feb. 14. Until tbe blockade

third one on an island opposite Lincoln..
the balem woolen mills have com
menced the manufacture of blanketrf and

blast.
The county court in cession to day spent
tbe greater portion of tbeir time in esti
muting the loss to bridges, approaches
and culverts' in Marion county by the
recent flood.. They examined several
bridges yesterday, and, excepting the
big bridge across tbe Willamette at
Salem, place the damage sustained by
Marion connty at $35,000; that is this

condition as they were before the flood.
. ORDER IN THE SIOUX LAND.
Chamberlain, S. ., Feb. 14. The
work of settlement goes on quietly. ' The

squatted on Indian lands to get off at
once. Major Anderson swooped on a
crowd of gamblers and confiscated all
their tftps.. All persons running game
of chance or selling liquor on Indian
lands hereafter will be pjosecnted.
SLAIN IN THE RING.

$25, it being conditional that James

bis own way from the first. In the
fourth round Bizenah struck James in tbe
neck, knocking him limp on tbe floor.
James was unable to rise. He was
spouged oft, restoratives applied, and tbe
show continued, no oue supposing that
James was auit seriously. When tbe
entertainment was about concluded,
Muldoon announced that James was still
unconscious, and called for a physician.
James died at 13:30 this morning.
Kilrain cried like a child. It is supposed
that James's neck was broken. One
dector says it was paralysis of tbe heart.

London, Feb. 16. Senor Frcitas, the
new Portuguese ambassador, had his
first meeting with Lord Salisbury to day.
Fie expressed himself as much pleased

satistastory reeepiion. Portugal pro
posed a commission of five to be ap
pointed to fix the limit of African terri
tory, two delegates from England, two
from Portugal and one to be chosen by
mutaul cousent. Lord Salisbury is anxious
that this fifth delegate should be an
American, because American missionary
interests in. Africa are affected by the
dispute. Portugal prefer the fifth dele
gate should be French, but will not op
pose the American, provided tbe princi
pal terms of arrangement be settled in
Lisbon and London.

THE RAILWAY MATL 8ERVICE BLOCKADE.
San Francisco, Feb. 15. Officials of
the railway mail service say the railroad
situation north, as affecting said service,
is as follows:
The blockade on tbe Oregon line has
been partially raised, nd the local mail
service between this city and Sisson is
hems performed regularly and three
times a week between Sisson and Ashland
with a transfer at Tunnel No. 0, allowing
the mails to be sent to the south-western
part of Oregon.
Lake View, In .bake county, uregon,
has been without mail ever since tbe
blockade began.
The stase roads from Redding, in this
state, to Reno, Nev., are in a very bad
condition, and it is impossible to make
stage connections. No mails can be sent
from here, and, in consequence, tbere is a
largd accumulation lying in tbe post
offices. BRAINS OOZED THROUGH THE GASH.

HEAVY 6NOW STORM IN CALIFORNIA. '
Truckee. Cal- Feb. 18. The heaviest
stotm of this stormy winter raged on tbe
mountains to-day. The snowmen tour
inches per hour. The old snow is packed
like ice and crusted so thut a loaded
team could pass over the surface. Tbe
wind swept tbe new snow in huge dnits,
leaving the surface of old snow bare.
When east-bound train No. 1 reached tbe
Cascade cut this morning, tbe snow had
drifted so deep tbe train was blocked, all
of the train except tbe four rear cars
finally reached tbe Summit, l be snow
wis five feet deep cacb side of the im
prisoned cars. A Sacramento excursion of
forty-seven pleasure-seekers, wno were
coming to Truckee to see tne snow
scenery, is in the rear car of four that
are snowbound.
The suow shovelers at Cascade struck
this afternoon because of tbe severity of
the storm, tbe enow blowing back in the
cat as fast as tbe ahovelers could throw it
out.
Trainmaster Waddell has kept the
plows running all day to tunnel 13, and
the snow plow will run east and west all
night.
Superintendent White, of tbe Truckee
division, reports the storm raging ' all
along the line to Winnemccca. No. 3
snow plow is at Cisco, and tbe cyclone is
between (Jisco ana uascaoes. i ne latest
report is that the sn-w shovelers are
again working at Cascades, and officials
state tbe road will be cleared to-night.
Late to night railroad officials are con
fident they will soon be able to contend
witb almost any amount of snowfall
There are now between 200 and 300 men
at tbe scene to shovel out tbe . drifts
This will be no easy task, as the snow is
coming down heavily to-nigM. One
hundred and fifty shovelers were sent to
the blockade to-day from Sacramento.
At tbe railroad office to-night it is hoped
to have tbe snow bound excursionists
back la Sacramento some time to-morrow
afternoon.
Dutch Flat. Feb. 16. It has been
snowing since 0 P. M. yesterday, witb
high winds and low barometer. Train
No. 1 of the 15th is stuck in tbe snow at
Cascade with a party of . excursionists
from Sacramento, who were going to
Truckee to see the grand winter stones.
No.3 of tbe 15th is lying at Cisco. The
storm in the mountabs during the past
twentv-four houis has been as severe as
at any time this winter. Train No. 3 is
at Truckee waiting for a clear track
before starting west. Several cars of
shovelers were rushed to tne Iront in aay.
The railroad people have hopes of get
ting a clean track to-night.
THE STORM SUBSIDED.
Carson, Nev.. Feb. 10. It commenced
snowing here at 6 o'clock this morning
and continued throughout the day, about
eight inches falling.- Tbe storm subsided
to night. No fears of another, blockade

Paris, Feb. 16. Elections were held

bers of the chamber of deputies. Na-
quette and Merry, two Boulangists, whose

December, again bead the poll in two
divisions of the beine department. But
a second ballot will be necessary. Three
Houlangists are re-elected in the divisions
of St. Denis and one in the first division
of Sceaux.
SHAME TO THE GOVERNMENT.
St. Paul, Feb. 16. Indian Agent
Cranrie, ot tbe Devil's Lake reservation,
in North Dakota, told a Ptoneer Pre re
porter to day that the destitution among
the Indians at that agency bad been un
derstuted. The winter has been very
severe and, in bis opinion, if tbe $3000
recently authorized for tbeir relief by tbe
president, be delayed longer, tbere would
be few Indians to receive any benefits
therefrom. He says that uuless more
help is quickly furnished it is doubtful
whether tbe 900 Indians on tbe reserva
tion will live until spring. Already' a
number or deaths nave resulted irom
starvation.
. THE FATAL INFLUENZA.
Minneapolis Feb. 16. Reports from
the Mille Lac Indian rest rvation in ad
vance of tbe visiting commission; indicate
tbe presence of the severe and fatal epi
demic, la grippe. It is said to be quite
equal to an epidemic of smallpox, and in
souie encampments tbere have not been
enough well Indians to feed the 6ick,
even if tbey had sufficient lood. The
bead chiefs are expecting aid irom the
government, in response to telegrams
sent to Washington, but none has come.
An - estimate places the deaths at from
tony to titty. Indian Agent ocbuler has
sent medical aid and some suppbes from
Brainerd, Minn.
KILLED IN HER BED. '
McMinnvtlle, Feb. 17. Yesterday a
report was brought to (own that Mrs. N.
L. Scott, living fourteen miles distant, on
tbe road to Salem, had committed suicide
by shooting herself in the bead. . Later
n was-learned that a most shocking mur
der bad been committed.
Mrs. Scott resided in ' McMinnville for
soveral years, until last summer, when
she was married to a well-to-do farmer of
this county and removed to bis home.
Tbe husband's story is that he arose San
day morning about 7 o'clock and went
to the barn to feed tbe stock, leaving his
wife still in bed. As she was complain
ing of a slight headache, be told her to
lie as long as she wished, as it was Sun
day and ' tbere was no need of hurry.
Soon after he went to tbe barn be beard
the report of a gun, but as shooting in
tbe vicinity was not uncommon be paid
no attention to it. About twenty min
utes later be beard another shot, be went
to tbe bouse and found bis wife lying
on the porch in her night clothi-a; iu the
last agonies of death, and blood liowing
from three ugly wounds. He spoke to
her but received no reply. He then ap
prised the neigbbois and a boy was sent
for the coroner. . . .
Tbe verdict of the jury was that the
deceased was murdered by some un
known person by three gunshot wounds
made by No. 0 birdsbot from a shotgun.
Tbe first two seem to have been bred
at once' into tbe woman's lace when she
was lying in bed, one charge striking in
the center of the forehead, the other
plowing through the light temple and
setting the pillow on fire. The charge
did not go through tbe head, and she
either arose or was carried out - through
tbe bedroom andlbrougn the kitchen on
to the porch, where another charge was
fired at close range into her right lung
through ber right shoulder-blade, where
bhe fell and was found by her husband..
Tbe dg ran out into the orchard bark
ing, and Scott thinks be saw a man run
ning awny through tbe orchard.
Vardaman Scott, stepson of tbe de
ceased, was seen bere to day, and says
tbe old felks got along as happily as
could be. The people throughout the
country are greatly shocked, as Mrs.
Scott was well known and- highly re
spected. She bas one son, Frank A. Cook,
of Portland, io the giocery business, and
another in California. -
No canse is known for this nmterious
and awful crime. Tbe atrocity of it
seems to exceed that of tbe murder ot
Corker with an ax at Lafayette some
years ago, for which Marple was hung,
and even the murder ot Mrs. Petcb, in
1882, for which G. W. Smith was convict
ed bnt committed. suicide by taking mor
phine in the Lafayette jsu to escape bang
ins:. One theory is 'that it is tbe work
of a ttamp, as the shotgun witb which the
killing, wss done was in the bedroom ot
tbe deceased, end being loaded was a
bandy and fatal weapon to cover up an
other crime, but as her money end valu
ables were undisturbed another con
clusion- is that she was in the way of
property that might go to others. '
Tbe testimony before tbe coroner's
jury disproved all- possibility of suicide,
as tbe shotgun witn wbicn tne wonc
seems to have been done was lying across
tbe bed, having been put there after tbe
Victim had left the bed. One barrel was
loaded, but seems to have been reloaded,
as there were some exploded percussion
caps about tbe room. A map also lay
across tbe bed.
Deceased was a well-built, well-pre
served woman, of - fair complexion, and
was so well known bere that two persons
are together but a few minutes without
speaktng ot tbe crime, the was 03 years
old, and affectionably known as "Auuty
Cook."
- Salem, Feb. 17. Suspicion in tbe
neighborhood of Wheatland is said to
point strongly to tbe husband or his son
as the murderer, as there bad been trouble
with deceased over signing a deed a few
days ago, and because of the inability of
the facts found by the jury to bear the
old gentleman out in bis story of seeing
a man run through tbe orchard. Deceased
used to live bere.
' AFTER' BIDDING HER OOODBY.
Albany, Or.. Feb. 17. A shocking
donfedticHragedy was enacted in this city
this evening. George Saltmarsb, a young
business man, who was married a short
time ago to Miss Lola Riley, of Eugene,
shot bis wife and then himself, at 9
o'clock. Alter marriage the young
couple lived happily together for a few
weeks, when the young wife deserted
Saltmarsb, saying she bad transferred ber
affections upon some one else. She re
turned last Saturday, and they have been
living together until this evening, when
Saltmarsh said be was going away, and
made all preparations to do so.
He went to bid his wife good by and
as tbey stood upon the sidewalk he drew
a revolver and shot ber in the neck. Tbe
ball ranged apaard, coming out at the
ear, making only a flesh wound, aud she
will recover. He then shot himself in
the right temple, inflicting a wound from
which tlie brains slowly oozed. Physi
cians ssy be cannot recover. - -

Fossil Journal: On Christmas night while
Wm. McElroy, better known as Bill Hines,
a bachelor who lives a mile due north of
town, wus attending the-, ball, some one
broke into his house and stole a fine $20
overcoat. Last Saturday night on going
home Mr. MciUroy s coat was retnrned,and
hang on the barn door. ' Whether the re

thief to repent, or whether he found him
self suspinioned and watched, is best known

be the most probable theory. .
Fossil Journal: Lyman Brown had 28 fine
chickens stolen from his hennery a half mile

while he and his sons were absent the fere
part of the night two be devils without the
fear of the commandments in their unholy
bosoms, deliberately took the chickens from
tbe roost, cnt their throats and sacked
them. . Blood, men's tracks and feathers
indicate this. Beside, we are told, the in

their plunder. Just wby arrests are not

The Situation.
Albany Democrat
Now that the flood has gone down, and
the smoke raised, as it were, the situation
all along the line can be viewed. The re
salt Is that the damage done is not nearly
as great as many anticira'ed, nor to justify
many wild rumors afloat. Oregon City suf
fered the most, losing a valuable mill and
many thousand dollars worth of property.
Salem in losing her fine bridge meets with
a great calamity. Other cities lose little
except nominal amounts, and more on ao
count of a loss of business. Portland and
East Portland together lose less than Sa
lem's bridge directly. Tbeir wharfs were
somewhat disturbed, buildings next to the
river in Portland received some beayy coat
ings of mud and a few goods were damaged,
and that was about all. The ontlook gener
ally is a good one after ao mnch darkness
Only one life is reported lost, that of a
lineman . at Oregon City after the
flood had subsided. . There are many inci
dents of close calls; but fortunately no
other fatalities. Perhaps tbe greatest dam
age, more than all others combined is tbat
to the Southern Pacific's railroad, particu
larly on tbe California line, where tbe
blockado - continues. The heavy rains in
creased the blockade instead of raising it,
causing innumerable land slides that may
take weeks to repair. Beginning south of
Ashland they are of constant occurrence.
North of Roseborg the track is in condition
to this side of Eugene, which will bo re
paired and trains will soon be running be
tween Roseborg and Portland, perhaps by
Monday. ,

. Here are a few facts that show np tbe
prrsent fraudulent system of assessment in
good style. According .to the rolls com
piled and. on file in the office of the secre
tary of state, Umatilla county ia assessed
$250,000 more than Multnomah county on
money, notes, accounts, etc., and yet Mult
nomah county claims $7,500,000 more in
debtedness than Umatilla county.- Isn't
that -wholesale robbery? Another case:
Union county's money, etc., are assessed at
$140,000 more than that of Marion connty,
and the indebtedness of the latter is $950,
000 more than tbat of the former. The in
debtedness of Linn county is three times as
mnch as the total of money, notes and ac
count's. 'Multnomah county's assessment on
money, notes and accounts last year was
$1,722,340, and yet in the face of tbat it is
claimed that real estate transactions of
Portland, with - a population of 60,000,
amounted to $14,000,000 during 1689; her
manufacturing output $20,000,000; that
$63,000,000 is inyested in wholesale and re
tail trade, not including banks, and the iaajT
statement of her ten priboipal banks shows
a capital of. $6,150,000, with surplus and
undivided profits amounting to $2,303,
750.32, or a total bank capital in those ten
principal banks of $8,513,750.32. These
figures are all astonishing, and it is not to
be. wondered at tbat a well known Albany
man a few days ago should state that he
couldn't conscientiously take the oath to
make an assessment under the present sys
tem, which is injustice itself.

Whatever can be said on cne side and the
other on this subject will be said in these

Whilo in that city she intended to bsv a '

what Mr. Spencer says this Dr. Cola is a
quack beyond a donbt, having kept th an .
fortuuate woman under the influence ef
chloroform for a period of two hour and
thirty-five minutes, sad Mr. Spencer thinks
that this was really th cans of hi wife's
death. The deceased was a most estimable '
