THE NANSEN EXPEDITION.
Christiana, Ma j 18 The Nausea ex
pedition la search of the Norti pole is
actively fittincr out here. The route to
be followed is based upon the theory that
articles belonging to the Jeunneili, found
on the 18th of June, three years after the
disaster to that ship, fit a point directly
opposite the pole, must have followed the
supno,ed submarine current which, leav
in the archipelago at New Siberia, must
have taken them to the Greenland cuiony,
where they were found at a p'ace called
JuiianShaab. The meteorological bureau
at Christiana, after three jears' study, has
couclnded that a d:r.-ct route exists, cross
ing the po'ar regions. Nansen will try
this route, starting near the point where
the ,taineMe was nipped by the ico and
go'insr to the opposite point where the
articles were found. The new ship will
have an auxiliary propeller, and, if CHUght
iu the ice, the crew will quit her and push
iorward to Julian bha-iu.
DEATH BY SUFFOCATION.
NEv Yokk, May IS. James FT. Pur
cell, night dispatcher in the New York
pottoffice, was kii'ed by tbe caving in of
a well on bis place at Woodside, L. I.
Mr. Purceil was repairing the well, when
it partially caved id, burvmg liioi nearly
to the neck. The quicksand continued
to run dr.wn aud the tllorts ot liie
neighbors to extricate the unfortunate
man oniv increased his danger. A rubber
tube was procured and placed iu Mr.
Pun-ell's mouth, so that he could brc&the.
after the sand had covered his head
Alter several r.ours lanor tl)9 sand was
cleared awav, but it was fouud that he
was unable to retain the tube in his
monlh and choked to death. lie was one
of the leading citizens of Woodside.
NO EEW SILVEK LAW.
Washington, May 18. -'There wiil be
no fcilver legislation at this session of
congress," remarked a representative who
has kept informed on the matter, and
there is a probability that ho u right
There js no prospect of agreement be
tween -the opposiug tactions, and if the
silver men ioice a free coinage bill
through congress the president will veto
it and loDg before another bill can be
agrefd upon and passed adjournment
mil be reached. The silver men have
overreach"d themselves. Ia getting con
cessions from the anti-silver men, and
forcing in an effort to compromise the
conservative men, they have gone to su-jli
lengths that the latter are now in rebel
lion and will, in the interest of what they
believe a safe currency, go no farther and
li t tbe silver inflationists do their utmost
This is the idea expressed by ti mun'jer
who is willing to compromise on any fair
proposition. As tne consideration of tbe
silver bill if postponed in the house and
the debate 1 remises to go on indefinitely
n tbe feaaj, the prospects arc that sil
ver legislation will stand wheie it now is
for this session.
I1L0WN TO ETERNITY.

Denor f ranceso bilva, who happened to
be in front of the buikiin'r at the time of
the explosion. In addition to the killed
over 100 persons are injured. The ex
plosion caused the wildest excitement
througou"- the city and thousands flocked
to the scene of the disaster. The princi

to aid the lrjured. Several houses ad
jacent weie damaged by .the explosion.
Later. Theuuuiberof dead up to
this evening is thirty-four. Gangs of
men are at work oo the debris. Many
human limbs were taken out. Relatives
of the roisicg persons gathered on the
spot, and as tho bodies were brought ont

LTamiiton Wallace, supervisor for the
Fourth district of California, has been
approved by Superinteudeut Porter.

CHINAMEN B OYCOTT CHINAMEt.
San Fkancisco, May 18. Captan Van
Holmes, of the Neiebern, which arrived
from Gunymas to day said that the last lot
of Chinese he carried from this city met
with a very cold reception from their
countrymen nt Guavmas. There were
thirty-nine iu the consignment, ill being
Drought to this city on the steamer ll o.
As they could not land here a Chimse
company contracted to take care of tin m
and stut them to Guaymas. The Cbictse
of that place practically boycotted .htm
and would not allow them to get woik.
When the Sfewbera left Guaymas the im
ported Chinese were stranded on a strange
snore.
KILLED WITH SHEARS.
Pendleton, May 19. Joe Genevieve,
son ot Charles Grncvieve, a well known
stockman cf Dear creek, sixteen miles
from here, was killed about 8 o'clock this
mornirg by a herder. The herder had
been discharged and it is supposed that
the quarrel had ensued over some dis
agreement about the herder'd wages.
Becoming f.n'jertd the herder set upon
the boy with sheep shears aad stabbed
him to death. It is reported I hat Mrs.
Genevieve, who went to her son's rescue,
was also slabbed and seriously wounded.
The murderer was captured and brought
to Pdot Rock by W. D Helmick. He
-ns taken in charge by the authorities.
It is supposed that he will be brought to
Pendieton this evening. Particulars are
meager, the report reaching town at a
late bour this afternoon. Joe Genevieve,
the murdered boy, was ouly 17 jeara
old.
Another and later account of the un
foitunate effair is that Mrs. Genevieve
aud ber son were holding the herder in a
fence corner and beating tim with a club
while Mr. Genevieve stood by and ex
claimed, "kill him." The herder linally
freed himaeif, reached np to the top rail
where the shears lay, grabbed them and
fatally stabbed the boy He then turned
upon Mm. Genevieve inflicting several
severe wounds, Mr. Genevieve escaping
unnurt.

Ia the
tjireai West A I'emarkubte
Oiler-Head It.
Akron, Colorada, has probably within
the past three years ex erienced the riio&t
rapid as well as the mot healthy growth
oi any city in the west. It is surrounded
by a country unsurpassed by any on earth
for the richness aud fertility of it3 soil
and the beauties of its climate. Any,
and everything that can be raised in Iowa,
Illinois, Indiana or Ohio Ciiu here be
grown in the greatest profusion. Wheat
grown iu the near vicinity of Akron, took
a diploma for being the best grain of the
kind exhibited at the jScbrabka state t..;r,
held at Linco!c, in September, 1889.
And all crops grown in this latitude can
be raised here as succcsstullv as anywhere
on c-trlh.
Ticrj are yet thousands of seres of
government land vacant, winch can be
taken under the homestead, pre eruption
aud timber culture acts, which a person
can nae tor the taking. A bountitul
government will make jou independent
in a few years if you will but act now.
The surface ot the country is nearly a
perfect level, but still sloping enough to
attorn good drainage. JNo breaks or
draws such as ruin or deface so many
western farms. No protracted struggle
with rocks. Your lirst glance at the
country would remind vou of one vast
meadow, only waiting the plow of the
husbandman to transtorm it into an Eden
of beautv and productiveness.
The citizens' advertising committee of
Akron have placed in the hands of the
West Side Improvement Company, one
thousand city lots that are to be given
away for advertising purposes, -and any
person who will aid them in advertising
their advantages can have one of these
lots free of charge by directing a com
munication to J. Faehndrich, Sec'y at
Akron, Colorado, and sending him the
names of ten people who are interested in
the wes end liable to be looking for a
western location and sending four cents
in stamps for re'urn of cJesd. These 1;U
are now worth Imm $ou t $12o, and will,
in the course of a Tear, if ti e i redictions
of knowing ones prove true, be worth four
times what is now asked for fim. It is
an opportunity never before clfured to se-
fcure an absolute title to a i:rco of
property in an enterprising and growing
western city.
Tbe lots referred to are each 25x133
feet m size and all the streets upon wh'eu
they abut are 60 and 80 feet wide. They
are m what is known as "G'enwood,' an
Akron, Colorado, suburb, and the citizens'
committee throrg-j Mr. Faehndrich, its
Sec'y guarantees tbem to be smooth, level
and upon a sightly e!nvatioD, overlooking
the town ot Akron. The title is also
guaranteed to be absolutely perfect.
Akron contains a set of business men
who arc alive to her advantages as wrll as
her interests, and this year IfSO.UOO is
being expended by them to induce people
Inokiijg for a western location to settle
amongst them. They want bud are de
termined to have 50,000 people iu this
city by 1895.
They want laborers in their coal inin-.
they want capitalists to develope tiitir
silver and gold mines.
Akrcn is to day the largest ur.d mo.-t
prosperous city in the state east of Denver.
It is a division station of the B & M. li'y
and is the southern terminus of the
Akron & Holyoke R'y, which !!. in all
probability, le built to Colorado Springs
in the near future. Akron is in the line
of tl.e Northwestern II. R. build:ng into
Denver, and it is sure to catch it, aud the
B-.-aver Valley branch of the B & M. will
also be built to Akron. The B & M.
shops are there aud material is now ou
the ground to greatly enlarge them. Tbe
railread tmploy 250 men at that point
now. The city is and will be the railroad
centre of that portion of the state. The
population is now nearly two thousand
and by January fi-st next, they believe
it will be 5.000. A United States land
office was receutiy located at that point
which means much to that city. It will
bring every saltier upon the public domain
in that section to that city. It will be,
and is, headquarters for land seekers for
tb-it entire portion of the state.
On May 20th, and iu June excursions
wiil be run from all points of the east and
south to Akron. The rate will be oue
fara for the round trip, over the Chicago,
Rock Is'and & Pacitiu from Chicago and
intermediate points, and over the
Missouri Pacific from St. .Louis and the
South, to O union, Nebraska. From
Omiba take the B & M. R. R. to Akron.
The above offer of a lree lot applies
only to thoso who will, prior to June 20
aid them in a reasonable way, in making
these excursions a success.
A. SaJ l.-aib.
Willie, the 14-year-old on of Mr. Robert
Diusmore, who lives near Mosier, was found
dead last evening about 8 o'clock under a
tree, with a broken branch beside him. He
left home early Saturday and was not found
until Sunday evening. H'iieu found he was
about four miles from home, his ncok was
broken, and is supposed to have climbed
the tree, got oh tbia rotten limb, which fell
with him, resulting in his instant death. It
was a terrible blow on his parents, and they
were rendered franctic with grief at their
terrible misfortune. It will never be known
to a certainty, but it is conjectured that he
roufet have died acme time Saturday. The
brothers and sitters of Mrs. Diutmore went
to Mosier this morning to attend the obse
quies of their dead nephew. The sympathy
of this end tbe community in which tbe
parents live will bs extended to them in
tlicir calamity.
Goldcndale Sa tinet: There are s-me 27.
men in the surveying party which is now
surveying the Hunt road east of this city.
The report that there were 153 teams down
on the river above Rock Creek is all a hoax.

planatioo of the conduct of tli3 acrrediied

through another memher of the gang these
lands are already sold at J3 50 per acre.

uhich the state receives is $125 per acre. It
is a fact easily substantiated by affidavit

lsted.) the business man ot the "outfit "
offers a citizen ot this district any amount
of land, either in forty acre tracts er
whole sections, either on even sections in
railroad limits, or on any land outside.
It has been urged by these disinterested
persons (Uoa save the mark I) that as a
citizen of Oregon the register of this of

That if the ofTce would pas3 the lists

would get his pav. ' We do not claim
that the existence of this state of 'acts
as a bearing on the question of continuity
which, we lake it, is the main question
involved, and which youroltice must pass
pou, but it certain iv lias a bearing, and
should be properly considered in con
nection with the arguments of the ring's
Washington attorneys. We are every
ay business men, in no way interested,
mmedi-dtely or remotely, in the outcome
ol this matter, further than to assist your
self m the premises, aud lhu discharge
our duty as officers of your department,
and as citizens of this state. We have
had the "sand" to do in this iratttr what
peeared to be our dutv, as we were
capable ot understanding it, regardless of
ressure brought to bear upon us.
Now, as to the gut of the mutter as we
suppose it will appear before you. The
state is entitled under Governor Stone s
decision to indemnity. Can she select it
regardless of contiguity, regardless to the
size cf tracts? If the selections must be
made "as near as can be" to the lands
lost, then no; but if there is a rnls of
practice of yournf3':e construing the stat
ute to mean anywhere in the district, is it
a rule that should continue in force? If
such is the rule it cerainly was not estab
lished ia such a case as is cow preseuted.
Ordinarily school indemnity comes from
losses sustained here and there in small
amounts, thuyhout tbe district, aud in
that case such a construction ot ti e stat
ute is doubtless proper. Yon are now
confronted by lo such stale of facts.
Tho loss the state has sustained in the
V.'ttim Spring reservation amounts, ap
proximately t33,G00 acres, if, as the stnte
urge, au unsutveyed loss is as good as
one thjl is surveyed. As lo the immense
amounr, possibly a quarter of a million
acres, of land passed over by the state,
I efora selecting the barg iiued away-in-advance
lands, and al?o as to the leiitive
amounts of vacant and entered lauds you
can cousu'.t the maps ot your office, which
show just how the whole case, stands.
For a section ou the mountains of tbe
Warm Spring reserve they are willing to
take sixteen ioriy acre tracts laid upon
the springs and watering places ot a
purely pastoral country. Wa transmit
two affidavits maue by citizens of this
state and entrymen under the United
States land laws, and we cau find any rea
sonable number of men thoughout tbe
district who will corrroborate the state
ments made by affiants.
We feel that the disposal of the gov
ernment lands to actual Settlers, aud the
development ot this iomou ol the state,
will be retarded it in the matter of selec
tions both contiguity and the size ot
tracts selected are disregarded. It is
probably not necessary fur us to add that
iu our joint aad several opinions the se
lections as made are against the iuterest
ot the general government and of th'S
state, and are against sound public policy.
Wc are -cnn.-ewus that wo have "argued

Large cn;l Masidij Meiin? of Citi

Sp3echs3 hy Hoa. Lydall Eaksr, Eon,
J. D. Lse, and Eon. D. P.
Thompson.
The announcement last night of addresses
to be delivered by Hon. D. P. Thompson,
Hon. Phil. Metschan, Hon. J. D. Le ami
Hon. Lydell Biker attracted a large audi
euct: , ine court nouse, among whom we
were pleased to note a inmiWr of ladies,
The meeting was called to order by Mr. J,
X. Patterson who introduced
MS. LYDELL CARER,
Marion. Ho subscribed to the sentiment
that the Republican party should progress
with tne times, and uot be entirely link
to the past. W hilo agreeing with the
progression of tho age, he should endorse
the sentiment of Daniel Webster ia his enco
nium on Massachusetts, and would say the
Republicans have their L'ncoln, Sheri Ian,
Grant, Girfield. and they would remain for
ever endeared to tno p.itnotic sentiment of
the country. He discussed the tariff in a
careful and candid manner. This country
first adopted protection under Washiugton,
ho said, and the ouly reaoou the Democracy
had adopted free-trade was to favor the
slave-holders of the south. Jefferson him
self was a protectionist, and the names of
many others might be cited to prove that
Democracy had changed its front on this
uestion as it had on many others.
Ia speaking of the plank iu the Demo
cratic platform charging the Republican
party with the convict contract labor sys
tem, Mr. Biker said this was uot au issue
in this campaign. When the bill passed
the legislature in 1S32, it was supported by
Democrats and Republicans, au 1 there was
ouly oue dissenting vote, and that was Hon.
(i. W. McBiMe, the Republican candidate
for secretary of state. As Mr. Thompson
as present and would address the people,
e would ullosv hun to speak for himself.
he speaker haa a fine presence, clear enun
ciation, and waa frequently applauded.
Mr. Baker was followed by our fellow
ltizen,
HON. J. D. LEE,
ho is well-known in The Dalles, as a most
excellent citizen, and need no introduction
j to our readers.
The ticket nominated by the state con
ventioa WM j ,n ,
good in every regard, Mr. Loe
said, aud he chd not think it could bo bet
tered. He had had business relations with
Mr. Thompson, the candidate for governor,
and had been in the legislature with him
during one session, and knew nothing that
he would critiuiss. He had never heard a
single vote of Mr. Thompson's criticised
while hr was ia the lei.Iaturo. Woikiug
far the best iatcrusts of ins c -ilit.i :nt, ho
was always con.-ci-ii.liwm in the ti;-V.-n he
gave each au I every Liii. This p iticiiuir
tiht reminded Mr. L-e of au -i'te.-0'e. A
r.. .t. i. . i t . ,
laiuer nau two sous wuoui he sent to la i,
to mace therr fortune. Thay were there
few mouths, ben the eidsi s:ui telegraplmd
to ins lamer, "j;m uied yewtcidjv. Tr.e
father telegraphed, "Send remain i.f J;m
home immediately." Ij due litre the
casket cams from India, and im ?giuo th
astonishment of tho father wheu b-j ia:-.td
the lid to gi'Z-; on t!iu features ot his boluved
son to see a tig-r m too only iccupant,
Ihe father puzz.ed to kuow what this
meant again telegraphed, "Why didn't you
send Jim. Only found tiger." The electric
curreut again was burdened with a message
and the explanation came from far-off In
dia: "Jim in tiger." Sj, said the speaker,
Gov. Teuuoyer is the tiger of Democracy,
aud you wiil Bud "Jim in tiger." Amidst
the wildest applause, Mr. Lee retired from
the platform to give place to
HON. D. P. THOMPSON.
Ou the tariff question he had seen practical
illustrations of the workiugs of free-tradb
and protection in other countries, and waa
firmly convinced that a protective policy
was the lietter one. He had socu 70 bash
els of wheat raised to the acre in Egypt,
aDd labor cost only 15 cents day. This
could be shipped to Liverpool ranch cheaper
than grain from America. Ou the shores of
the Black Sea 40 bushels to the acre could
be raised, and wages 13 cents a day. In
the grain-producing portion ot India the
crops were enorm-ju, aud labor cominndcc
less, price than the countries mentioned.
These nations had cheaper transportation
rates than the United States, and by adopt
ing free-trade would not increase the price
of tbe product until we could get the grain
to market as cheaply as other countries.
In all free.-tratle countries he found laborers
illy-fed aud poorly paid; and in protected
countries the converse was true. The
American wage earners ara tatter led, better
clothed than those of fre-tradc stales, aud
our people have tha privilege of acquiring
an education. Mr. Thompson said con
scientiously as a patriotic American citizen
he did not believe it mould be for the best
interests of the United States to change the
present policy of the country.
Mr. Thompson said on his head bad fallen
most of the abuse cf Democratic speakers
aud papers. Gov. Penuoyer hid been
paraded as treeiug the rt;.te from iu iehted
nets. The facts in this matter are that
when he took his seat the state was only in
debt $50,000, and tiiia was principally due
from the sale of swsmp lands. Duriug the
excellent administration of Mr. '.. F.
Moody, the fiuanccs were iu good sl ope,
and every debt was iu procees ot liquida
ioa S.nce Gov. Vei-.uuy r's term of olfice,
begau he has received $2'y) 030 from the
general government by simply aigr.ing the
receipt. These claim were hunted up by
Secretary Mciirde, aud pressed by our de -egation
in ctiiigi-es. Pennoyer found the
state tax 1 19-20 mills, arid it is now G, bv
ng an increase ot oyer 4 mills. Mr.
Thompson haa alwav beeu a friend to I id
lot reftu m, aud was among the firit to
recommeud tne adoption oi the Australian
system by the legi.daturo. Ha is; saiufi.d
it Wiu'd work great good, aud ba a means
of purifying politiis. Hia record .cu this
is known to the ballot reform league of this
state, and they will substantiate his state
ments As regards the as-essment law, be
believes in changing tho Jpresent'ono. It
would be better to sllow no indebtedness
than the manner in wbjua this exemption
from taxation is used now. Balievus in the
appointment of a board of equalization by
the sovernnr or aeltctio:;.by the legislature.
If elected by the people, there would be
the same difficulty that there is now. This
board thould equalize the taxation of the
state. During the last legislature, different
portions of the state had asked for aid to con
struct wagon roads. Oue in Ballowa
ouuty aud another from Long Creek to
lleppaer he had supported iud .voted
for; but Governor Pc-uuoyer kept them
ia bis pocket and permitted thein to
p2co.ne laws by lapse of time. The
Bull-run water bill non tnxible he
had voted for, because he believed it
was for tho interest ot his constituents.
Gov. Peunoyer vetoed this bill, bat approved
two non-taxable bills two years before. If
tlieso bills are taxable tho money will go out
of tho state, and consequently uo taxes will
be received on tliem. Furthermore, if non
taxable, they are taken at a lower rate ot
interest, and therefore mincy is saved to the
municipality. It is true Mr. Thompson
said he was mayor of Portland in lS79,.but
he did not receive 1500 salary. As regards
dock privileges, Mr. Thompson said he was
neyerat any timn owner of a one-third in
terest in the Star block, aud further, the
mayor had no power whatever in the mat
ter. He had learned of an action of the ex
ecutive with which thegpeople should be
ccn versa ut. Certain indemnity lands were
allowed by the general government by
reason of seycral school (sections being
iucluded in the Warm Springs reserva
tion. These should haye been selected
contiguous to the reservation, instead
of which a syndicate of three or four persons
had been formed, aud these had selected
tiiB well-watered lauds in Morrow, Gilliam
aud Wasco counties, to tbe amount of about
30,000 acrej. The land oilice at The Dalles
refused to "list" these. But they hud been
bargained in advance for $3.00 an acre,
when the state was only allowed $1.25,
making a clear gain of $2.25 an acre, or
$07,500 for the whole tract. Gov. Pen.
noyer spends about 100 days in Salem, aud
receives 013 a day, which is fair w"e.
As regards the water works in this citv,
Mr. Thompsou said he owned one-half of a
quarter interest in them; but never had
anything .to do with thc.r management.
Tiicy were now for sale, and could bo pur
chased by the city if desired. Mr. Thompson
made a very favorable impression on the
audience, and was frequently applauded.
lie is a clear, concise speaker, and evinces
lear judgment and good practical sense in
everything be says. At tho close of Mr.
Thompson's speech the mooting adjourned
n.dst the wildest enthusiasm. .
DEATH 0U THE BAIL.
A Itr-Miiertabie CltfEen of Canyon City
Han over by the Cars at ii-lii:a;.ou
end Killed Instantly.
From Saturday's Dally.
Mr. Samuel Sired, of Canyon City, en
route to the grand Icdgo of Odd Fellows ot
this stato, was run over by tho west-bound
passenger train at Arlington at noon to-day,
and killed instantly,
Mr. Sired had arrived on tbe Hcppurr
branch about 11 o'clock, hvl taken dinner
and waa preparing to leave when he aaw
Mr. Phil. Metschan, and stopped to haye
few moments conversation with him. Th
train began moving, and Mr. Mctschsn
warned him to hurry and get alxiard. Ha
grabbed his yaliso in his right hand, and
with his left reached the railing to step on
t-oard, when, it is supposed, the end of tho
car struck his valise and knocked his feet
trout under him. The wheels drew him
under the carriage, and passed over
is prostrate form. The screams of
.ne unfortunate man could be heard for a
long distance, snd added increased sadness
to Lis terrible fate. As soon as possible the
train was stopped, and Mr. Sired, in a
mangled condition, wis taken out. Tho
wheels hrd passed over hts leg, arms and
diagonally across his body, fl'hen lifted
out, he requested tha mea to take him out
of the sun, aud after a few struggles and
heart-rending moans,' was dead. Spectators
say from the tune the accident happened
uutil his death ten minutes did not elnpsr.
Ho did not live three minutes after being
extricated. The accident was one of those
terrible, awo-inspiring ones, which could
not have been avoided except by the indi
vidual hifhself. Everything possible waa
done by the kind-hearted passeugers for his
relief; but he was injured so fearfully that
death was inevitable.
Mr. Samuel Sired is an old snd respect
able citizen of Grant county, snd was agi d
about 45 years. He is an Odd Fellow of
in my years standing, and hid received the
highest honors of the subordinate lodge,
au l was elected to represent his lodge in
the grand body.
Mr. Sired was married nbout four ycers
ago, aud his wite lives st ganyon city.
The sorrowful news will be broken to bis
v.-idow as gently ns possible, but as Arling

will take two or three days before she hears
the sad intelligence. She wiil receive the
sympathy of tho community in this sad mis
fortune; bat her burden of sorrow will be

Fossil Journal.
John Hansacker, a citizen oi Haystack,
was indicted, tried and convicted for horse
stealing a year or so ago. The county ot
Grant, we are informed, sold some of his
horses to pay the costs incuired in his con
viction. His case was carried to the su
preme court, and he to tho penitentiary.
He obtained a new trial, and the special
term was called iu May to try him. It was
a ground hog case with Grant county now
to convict him or pay him full value for the
horses it had sold. Word now comes from
Haystack, however, ' that the case was
longer postponed, and that Hunsacker's
caso was disposed of in another way. On
rounding up horses, the neighbors found
several mare head cf well-known horses
that Ransacker had been fooling witb by
blotching the old braurls, snd putting his
own brand on them, ihis so enraged the
people that a committee of vigilantes sprang
up, and gave Huusacker the choice nf the
