The distn- butou ot a four page paper entitled "Clan-Na-Gael" in front of the Roman Catholic churches of this city to day aroused tbe indignation of some ot the Catholic clergy. Rey. Fitzmaurice, of St. Michaels church drove the disturbers from in front of his church. At mass he made a speech iu which he denounced the Clan-na-Gael in strong language. lie said the organization had brought more disgrace on the Irish people and done more harm to the Irish cause than this or the next generation will be able to repair. Evtry rran m the congregation," he said, "should consider it an insult as an Irish Catholic to have euch trash circu lated in front of the church. The Clan-na-Gacl has Used the Catholic church as a cloak to hide their doings. I ask you to throw those papers in tbe gutter and not let one of them enter jour home." A PRIEST'S MYSTERIOUS DEATH.

Nearly every vessel which bas come to Ibis port for tbe past four mouths has brought tales ot ter rible weather at sea, but it is doubtful if anv has reported such hardships cs those endured by Captain Smith und seven sailors, who came to port a few days ago, after losing several shipmates and leaving the ill-laled British bark Meteor at the bottom of the ocean. They were twenty three days in a gale of wind, hove to un der heavy canvas. Then oue ol the officers and a numtcr of ship's crew were swept- overboard by high waves and drowned. They were nine diys sur rounded by icebergs and a field of ice over filty miles long. The rudder was carried away and the bows, und sides crushed in. Then they were rescued by a friendly steamer, just as their own ves sel was about to sink from under their very feet. This is the story they tell of tneir sufferings. Their experience iu the ice was particularly thrilling. Once, after she muuaged to clear the field, a sailing vessel was discoveied a couple of. miles distant, signal? or distiess were made, but the stranger sailed off, leayir.g the men to their Jate. Tbe vessel was leaking badly, and tbey had to work at the pumps constantly. Fortunately for them, a few hours later the British steam er Marengo hove in sight aud took t!em off. BEN BUTLER'S EYE. Boston, March 2.

Tbe General's right eye, too, has been developing of late years a drooping lid on a miniature scale. It is now veiled more than the left eye, and will probably bo made the object of another operation in the near future. IMPROVED PASSENGER SERVICE, CniCAGO, March 2.

At 10 o'clock to night fire broke out in a row of frame building at tbe north approach of Monroe street bridge, which caused a loss of about $50,000, The names were first discovered in the Review job printing office and spread in both directions. No wind was blowing at the time, which was very fortunate, as the whole block of large frame buildings would have surely gone. - The losses, as nearly as can be ascer tained, are as follows : Greenberg & Houghton, proprietors Bevieia job print ing office, $35,000, welt insured; Satur day Special Publishing Company, loss $8000, insurance $1400; Washington Water Power. Company, three-story building, loss $7500, partly insured. The losses on three other buildings will ag gregate about $10,000. The origin of tbe fire is supposed to have been incendiary. THE MURDER OF CROSBY. ' Tacoma, March 3. In the Crosby murder trial to-day the most important testimony given was that ot Sheriff Price, ana related to a confession made by George Stowe, one of the suspects, to him and Prosecuting-Attorney Campbell.dur ing Stowe's confinement in the county jail. In tbe confession Stowe states that be nrt met uoyt at tbe bt. cnaries notel on the night of the murder, and soon after their meeting they proceeded up C sireec. vvnen near seventh street thev met Crosby, and Hayt immediately cried, ' there s the s ot a b " and fired at Crosby. As soon as Ston e saw Crosby fall he immediately jumped into the gulch and ran down the railroad track, and finally escaped to Centralia. Hoyt ran soum toward the new addition. suerilt I'nce stated that Stowe did not say why Crosby was shot by Hoyt. It was evidently not for the purpose- of robbery. MURDER IN UNION COUNTY. La Grande, March 3. EJ Sehaffer was killed by C. E. Araold at Hilgurd last Saturday evening. It seems that Ar nold did nut Intend to kill Sehaffer, but was after a man named Coob, and there is a woman in the case. Arnold has a contract fo put in logs for the Grand Koude Lumber Company, and his camp is suuatea on toe urand Kondc river, about six miles above Hilgard. At Mie camp the house in which he lives is niaue of logs and bas a partition in the center. and Arnold and bis cook, a woman named Ward, lived in one end of the house. while the other end was occupied by scnancr ana others in the employ ot Ar nold. .About 1UU yards distHUt is located another house, in which some others iu Arnold's employ were stopping. Arnold came to lyi (Jrande Saturday and returned home drunk. lie arrived home late and be and the woman had some dispute, when Cobb was called in to decide the matter, each agreeing to abide by the decision. Cobb took sides with the woman, and that so incensed Arnold as to causes quarrel, which devel oped into a regular knock down, and Arnold was pretty wall used up. Cobb then ran away. Arnold believed Cobb to be secreted in the other part of the house. occupied by Sehaffer and others. Ue went to tbe door and demanded admis sion, wbicb was denied. He then went to the house occupied by the other employes and returned with a knife in bis band and forced open the door, when a :cume ' ensned and Arnold came but of it with. a cut on bis hand and a bruise on the head as if made by some blunt instrument like a hammer, and Sehaffer with a stab in the breast, from which he died in about thirty minutes. Sehaffer made no statement before he died. Arnold claims to have acted in self-defense, and that Sehaffer attucked Dim, but there seem3 to have been no witnesses and tbe truth 13 unknown. Arnold was taken in charge by those close at band, and held until the arrival of Shenlf Hamilton. An inquest was held by an acting coroner, and the verdict rendered that the deceased came to his death from a wound inflicted by Arnold. he defended was then brought to ia Grande, where he is now held for pre liminary examination to-morrow. "INJUNCTION ON TnE ALASKA LEASE. Washington, March 3. In the sena'e oorhets offered a preamble and concur rent resolution reciting thut in the recent lease of the fur seal islands of Alaska to the North American Commercial Com pany certain provisions of the law were not complied with, andsMirecting tbe secretary of tbe treasury to furnish to the senate complete cop'es of all bids for tbe lease, with the accompanying papers, all the testimony, memoranda, arguments, letters, aud correspondence with the hold ers; and that the secretary refrain from executing or deli ering the lease to tbe North American Commercial Company until the subject be inquired into by the senate. He asked to have the resolution referred to the finance committee, as that committee meets to morrow. It was so ordered. , THE BOAT RAILWAY DEAD. As it is apparent now that Mr. Her mann is not enthusiastic over Senator Mitchell's bill for a boat railway at Tbe Dalles, there would seem to be little hope of getting the measure through congress. Mr. Hermann takes the ground that the demand for such a large sum over three millions will of necessity cut down the amount allowed Oregon in the gcucral river and harbor bill. Senator Mitchell holds that it need not be made a part of the general bill, but can be made as a separate measure. The senator savs there is nu necessity of the boat railway bill goiog before the river and harbor coin mittee, but may be referred to the com mittee on railroads and canals. Mr. Hermann declares that if Oregon gets a million and a half for rivers and harbors it will be impossible to secure more money for the boat railway. M tchell savs it is necessary first to get it through the sen ate, but if it does get through be will ex pect that Mr. Hermann will do all be can to get it. through the bouse. THE BEHRING SEA TREATY. Toronto. March 3. A special to the Empire from Ottawa favst Advices re ceived by the government from Wash ington relative to the Behring sea ne gotiations are very encouraging, but at the present ' juncture it would be con sidered impolitic to indicate their nature. Washington correspondents are indulging ia consideraole guess work en the suo ject, but some of their guesses are wide of tho mark. The latest reports ara to th 3 effect that the negotiations in refer ence to Atlantic fisheries have proceeded so fur towards a settlement on a basis satisfactory to uotb governments that the operation- of the modus vivendi has been posiponeu inaeunueiy. ud iuis point it may be stated that continuance of the modus tiiendi arrangement rests with Canada alone, legisla'ion on the pait of the Dominion parliament simply being nscessary to give it cllect. . Sairtde. State Journal. Last Tuesday morning Coroner T. W. Harris received a telegram from Justice of the Peace J. C. Stouffcr, of Cottage Grove stating that F. Dunn had com mitted suicide and asking orders immedi ately. Inquiry developed the fact that deceased was a young man about 21 years old. who resided a few miles from Cot tage Grove, and was well known and re spected In the community. He was in Cottage Grove Monday eveuing, and while there took a dose of etrycbine, which caused his death during the night. Rumor tava be was paying attentions to . - . . . . - . a young lady, and it is supposed sue aia not give him sufficient encouragement, and in a fit of despondency . be took the poison. A gentleman from Cottage Grove informs us that Dunn was en gaged to be married to Miss Ida Griffin, an excellent yonng lady, end when be called Vj see about the preparations lor that erent she informed him that on ac count of not having her wardro'ie com pleted tbey would have to postpone it a week or so. He insisted that it should not be postponed, and lhn she remarked In good humor, that she would not have bim at all. He said he would kill him self, at which tbe girl's brother and some other young people who were picsent laughed, supposing he wa joking. He had a bottle of blackberry brandy in bis pocket, and stepping behind the girl he took it out and took a drink of it.

Mr. B"Own found his pump several hundred yards dewn the stream, but his well was nowhere to be found. Our stage drivers have had hard roads to travel during the past wetk. Part of the distance to interior towns the ground is bare, and- sleighs cannot be used, bnt tbe rest of the wav sleighing is excellent. Then to hold the reins behind four prancing horses these cold mornings ia not delight ful bv any means. There is very nine play in a stage drivers' vocation, but in the desert or Weir lives mere are ireijueui oases, and tbey are jolly companions on the road when they "unbend" and tell some of their experiences. We believe The Dalles lias as gooa r.aturcd stage Olivers as any nlace. snd.althoDch possessed of many of the old fashioned traits.they know how to make time pass pleasantly. May tbey live loog and prosper. South Bend Enterprise: A young couple named Frederickson left Bruceport in a small fiat bottom ekift to buv household goods at South Bend about the first of this month.

A bailer and an old ax snows mat ine uni was not nnset. It la supposed that they per ished from cold and exposure incidental to a trip in such a boat and in' suoh weather as no imformation can be obtained of their whereabouts. They had been married but a short time. Idaho Slatfsman: The snow blockade on the Idaho City Stage road on Monday was something which will long be re membered by the engineer, conductor and train hands, as well as by the passengers who were cn the train. The ran from Stierman's to the new grade on the other side of the summit was made on flyer time and in geod shape, but at this point a series of drifts were- eiicounteied which compelled the abandonment of the parlor coaches, when the engines were detached and led oyer tbe summit and down to Ciawson's where an extra train was in wait- which brought what was lr.lt ot tue wrecked unfortunates to tho city. Air. Jamea G.

The Short Line, west bound, passed through the city this morning about 7 o'clock. There is no schedule time for trains these stormy days.. The train dispatchers have moved their nfiice into the new passenger depot. They have very convenient and comfortable quar ters in the new building. A prominent citizen of Dufur this morn ing in going to the stage office was over hauled by the marshal, and it was with great difficulty that he persuaded the offi cial that he was a peaceable citizen attend ing to his business. We do not know whether our city cuatodian of the I peace imagined that luckily he had discovered Tascott, the murderer, or Silcott, the de faulter. - .... Port Townscnd with all the boom adver ment it bas enjoyed for tbe last few montha has just commenced numbering its build ings. The Dalles baa been ' numbered for nearly two years. In this we are ahead of that progressive Paget Sound city. Who dare eay that -we do not possess enterprise! The hail last night has put the ground in a terrible condition for cattle. They are weak and not able ti climb bills for feed, and in very many instances will fall in their tracks and die.. We feel thankful that our interests in cattle are not as large as formerly, and (hat the loss of tho present year will be less on Wasco than other coun ty in Eastern Oregon. Ex Gov. Moody, Geo.

Three Y'onnK Children Killed at Cas- i.iij'-ine justaer srataiiy The Challis Messenger of the 11th contains tbe following particulars of a fatal snow slide at Custer City: At about 8 o'clock on tbe night of the 24 the alarm of danger was given at the Cus ter mill by tbe blowing of the steam whistle. The people knew too well what was the matter, and when they started to go to the scene ot disaster they took their shovels with them. - The snowslide had come from the top of old "Baldy Mountain," crashing through N. Johnson's and H. Levinson's bou"ea. Mr. Smith had moved into tha Levmson house that day and just barely escaped with his life when the slide struck it, breaking the house down and Siting it with snow. Poor Mr. Johnson deserves the sympathy of all. When he heard the anowalide m. ing he rushed frantically to the bouse to uu luuiuy. aio omy got in me nouso to see the walls yielding to the terrible enemy tbe snowslide. He found that it was too late, and could do nothing to saye hia'family from their untimely and horrible death, so he threw himself on the bed by the side of his sick and helpless wife whom -he would not desert, to meet their doom. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson were taken from the debris of snow alive, but Mrs. Johnson re ceived injuries from which she will soon die. The children were dead when taken from the slide. Tbe last two were taken out about 2 o'clock tho following morning. ,The children were laid peacefully and quietly to rest in the cemetery, just east of ' l. Ml .1. . I , , . and picturesque canon. l'he snowslide came down the same can yon the one did that killed John Lang Jan. ' J2.1881. H Wjfi oa still. OcLo Levies-. The snow which fell two- weeks ago still covers the ground to the d inth at frvnr inches everywhere except on a few steep hillsides where the sun has melted it off. Oa Monday the weather turned warm for a time nd the snow began to melt, settling down to the present depth, but before night the wind began blowing cold from the west. and by Tuesday morning the mercury had fallen to 24 degrees below aero. Since that "uo uiD houipci uas reiiroiueu outer coiu, n ,i.H i i .- , . . 1 1 the mercury seldom riling higher than 36 degrees above zero. The suffering of stock during tue week bas been intense and the loss of cattle and sheep has been great. Daring the coldest night, sheep in several instances that we bave heard of, that had been fed and were in frond condition, nilp.d up so closely that they smothered.. Tha loss to the live stock industries of Crook county will not fall innch short of 60 per cent., even if the snow should go off now, as many haye lost nearly everything and all have lost some. Should the snow remain two weeks longer, there will scarcely be any thing left, as nearly everybody i out of feed and stock is not in a condition to stand ' any further starving. - Many of the stock men who have lost heavy will be left bank rupt in the spring, as they were somewhat ' in debt and what tbey have loft will not more than square them with the world. Tbis winter ia conceded by all to have been the severest ever known in the county, and 1890 will long be remembered as the "great cow killer." State Central Committees Hon. Lewis T.
