The court aaid it was satified the conclu
sioua reached were conect, but not with
the form of the decree.entered and would

iect is to ascertain if there be not some
method by which the money accumulated
bv the church of Latter Day baiots can
be returned to some source that will not
use tbe funds for the propagation of
polygamy, there being a reluctance to
absolutely confiscate the property of tbe
ministers.
The court to-day finally adjourned un

A PRIEST SHOT DOWN.
Chicago, May 23. Rev. Dr. S. M. Bar
rett, of Si. Stephen's Roman Catholic
church, was shot and fatally wonnded to
night at the threshold ot his residence.' He
was accosted by a young man who profess
cd to be iu a dying condition frain heart
trouble. Tbe priest gave tbe man direc
tionsto help bim physically and was con
sidering tbe matter of spiritual consolation
when the fellow drew a revolver and shot
him in the breast. He gives tbe name of

SUMMONED TO PORTLAND.
CnEYENNE, May 23. It is announced
here to-night, as coming direct from the
captain's office, that Engineer H. V. Qates
has lieen summoned to Portland to take
charge of the Union Pacific building

THE LAST HOPE GONE.
Washington, Ma; 23. The supreme
court has denied application for a writ of
error in the case of Kem ruler, under sen
tence of death by electricity. Tbe opinion
is by Chief Justice Fuller.
The court held that the charge in the
form of death is within tbe legitimate
phere of tbe legislative power of tbe
state. The legislature of the state of
New York determined that electricity
did not inflict cruel and unusual punish
ment, and its courts have sustained that
determination. This court cannot tee
that tbe prisoner has been deprived of
due process of law. Iu order to reverse
tbe judgment, this court should be com
pelled to bold that tbe court of appeals
committed an error so gross as to oepnve
tbe prisoner ot bis constitutional rights.
be court has no hesitation in saving it
cannot do this. .

V - " BEFDSED TO INDICT.
Helena, May 23. Daring last Sep
tember the. Federal authorities arrested
W. B. Webb, ex-territorial secretary on
the charge of embezzlement. The charges
seemed to be substantiated by abundant
proofs, and proceedings were begun by
tbe United States marshal. On Monday
tbe United States grand jury began its
session and tbe matter was investigated.
Tbe treasury department sent two special
agents here with bonks and papers, .and
tbe evidence against Webb seemed as
conclusive as it could possibly be. This
morning Federal officers were startled by
the report that the grand jury bad re
fused to find a true bill. Special Agents
Robinson and Moore of tbe treasury de
partment, telegraphed to United States
Attorney General Miller the facts and
asked for instructions. The United
States prosecuting attorney is awaiting
'be formal announcement, to begin an
action against tbe jury and compel it to
show cause why it did not find in accord
ance with tbe evidence presented. Tbe
report states that the vote un the jury
room on the indictment was 10 against
and 6 for, which is also a political divi
sion of tbe members of tbe jury. Tbe
jury has adjourned until Monday.

THE NEW DKY DOCK.
Washingtoi, May 24 When Senator
Allen's amendment lo tbe naval appropii
ation bill came up tor consideration
to-day, it caused something of a
bctweea the Washington and Oregon
senators. The amendment provides for a
commission to select a site for a dry dock
at some point on the Puget sound. Sen
ator Mitchell ofkred an amendment which
provided that the commission should
select tbe dry dock on the waters of tbe
Pacific ocean north ot the California line,
including the Columbia river, Puget
sound and Lukes tmon and Washington,
in Washington, senator Mitchell snp
ported his amendment by saying that the
commission which selected the navv yard
hid the same territory to select from as
provided in his amendment. Senator
Dolpb supported Mitchell's proposition
and Senator Squire maintained that the
dock should be located at some point on
Puget sound. Senator Hale, chairman of
the committee, was in favor of Mitchell's
proposition. but believed that any com
mission making the selection would choo-e
Puget sound Mitchell's amendment was
agreed to. Senator Hale and other mem
bers of the committee do not like the
yard site se ected by tbe former com
mission, and if the dry dock site is
selected it is more than possible that the
navy yard will go wherever tbe present
commission decides the dock. It is safe
to assume that the old site at Port
Orchard will not be considered.
KILLED WHILE UNCONSCIOUS.
Spokane Falls, May 24. To-night a
switch engine in the yards bere backed
over the unconscious body of a man. cut-
ing oil the back pari of bis head, and
killing him insantily. Letters on the
body shewed his name to be F. O. Palmer,
and that be has a wife at Allegheny,
Iowa. It is supposed that lie was drunk
at the time.
KILLED BY A FALLING TREE.
Salem, May 24. Fred Keudall, while
felling a tree near Wood burn, about ten
miles from Salem, to-day was instantly
killed. The tree was sawed in two and
n falling struck him on the head, causing
instant death. His age was 25 years and
be was the main support of a widowed
mother.
AT WAR WITH FRANCE.
St. Johns, N. F , May 25. The great
est excitement prevails here, the last two
French outrages on St. Johns' population
having driven the people almost to the
verge of desperation. Alt along the coast
known as the French shore, which extends
from Cape St. John tt Cape Ray, tbe
fishing and farming population is arming,
while agents have arrived here to purchase
guns and ammunition to supply the crews
.Newfoundland bsbing ves-ls. The
present outlook is serious. ' Unless tbe
British government takes immediate
action to rescind tbo recent arbitration
arrangement which gives France terri
torial tights for torty miles iuland rn the
coast named, it is not improbable that the
whole colony will be in open icvolt in
tbe near mture. ll.e excitement grows-
out or D rench outrages on Friday at Port
Au Basque, 300 miles from St Johns, tbe
most weerly settlement or importance
on the island, and the barbarous treatment
tbe crew of a schooner, which was
aground, at the hands of Frenchmen, who
Iwat tbe mate so badly that he may die.
Open hostilities are momentarily expected
between armed fishing vessels of New
foundland and France, as there are French
men of-war on the coast which will not
respect the British flag. The result of
such action would be disastrous to the
St. Johns fishermen.
Halifax, N. 8., May 25 It is reported
this morning that two of the English war
ships now bere have been instructed 'o
sail with sealed .orders for the scene of
trouble. It is also reported that the war
ship Pelican, now cruising in the Gulf of
St. Lawrence, has received similar in
structions. Montreal, Msy 25 Newfoundland
delegates, at present here for the purpose
of obtaining Canadian snppport in tneir
demands on the British government for
the prevention of French aggressions on
fisherman, are greatly t-xcittd over the
Ircsh outrages. D. G. Green, a member
of the Newfoundland government, who
heads tbe delegation, says that the Eng
lish government has been making more
and more concessions to 7uce nntil now
the latter country has fuffcontrol of the
coast, instead of being allowed current
riglr.s with British subjectE,as ordained in
former treaties.
A WARLIKE PAMPHLET.
Paris, May 25. A pamphlet written
by Camilli Dreyfus is exciting a deal of
lively discussion all ever the continent.
The writer advocates tbe idea that the
time is now ripe for France to renounce
tbe treaty of Frankfort, which she was
compelled to sign as a result of the peace
or Versal'es after the Franco-Prussian
war, and he declares tbat France should
now offer Germany war, if she persists in
maintaining thit treaty. M. Drey fas ar
gues that Franco would now be able to
defeat Germany, if Russia will only stand
by ber. without interfering aggressively,
and will hold off Austria and Italy, and
prevent these powers gi"iog active assist
ance to their associate in the triple
alliance.
A BOATING PARTY CAPSIZED.
Fall Riykr, Mass . May 25. A terri
ble accident occurred at Watuppa lake
this ' afternoon. Several men, women
and a number of children went rowing in
a flatbottotn boar, the seating capacity of
which' was only eight. There was
strong wind blowing and the water was
rouorh. In a short time the party was
observed trving to work their way toward
shore. Jast north of the pumping stat
ion, when the boat' was within twenty
feet of the shore, one of tbe children bo
tan rocking it. aad without a moment's
warning the craft capsized. Two men at
tbe pumping station were tbe only ones
in sigh; and they could do nothing Mr.
Turner of the unfortunate party, was tbe
only one who could swim. He succeeded
in bringing one man ashore, and four
others ot tbe Dsrtv managed to reach
land in ao exhausted condition. Tbe
neonle on shore cried to the othere to
cliug to the boat, but their falling strength
was Dot-qual to the task, and they sank
before aid could be procured. Eght ol
the party were drowned before help
could reach tbem.
DROWNED IN SNAKE RIVER.
Boisk City, Idaho, May 25. At 10
o'clock this morning L. D. Hopson, of the
geological survey, and an assistant named
Frank Moore were drowned in the Suake
river, while engaged in hanking the
stream near Eigle R ick, Bingham county,
Idaho. The body of Hopson was recover
ed and will probably he sent to his
relatives in Columbia, t. C. Youug Hop
son was in charge of tbe hydrographic
work on the geological survey, and was
esteemed as one ot the most efficient and
valuable members of tbe corps. Oo re
ceipt of the news, Mr. A. D Foote, super
intendent of the Idaiio division ol the
geological survey, left Boise lor Eag e
Rock to look after the disposition of the
remains and communicate with tbe rela
tives of the deceased.
VEILED IN MYSTERY.
Sacramento, May 25. About 10
o'clock this forenoon Police Officer Far-
iell found a man lying on the levee sutler
ing from the effects of two bullet wounds,
one in the head and the otner in the
stomach. The wounded man gave bis
name as Edward Goodwin, Aged 52, and
said be was a native of New York. Being
iniormea mat nis wounds woulil doubtless
prove fatal and that he had better give
the address of relatives, he relused to do
so and remarked: ''It will be better, that
they kuow nothing about this affair.
He inlormed the chief of police that he
came to bacramento on Saturday from
am Francisco, and tnat a Germsn or
Swede, whom be accused ot stealing his
b'ankets, first threw red pepper in his
eves and then shot him.
Goodwin died at 3 o'clock this after
noon. ihe man who did the shooting
escaped. The chief of police does not
believe the story told by Goodwin. He
thinks the dead man was a companion of
the person who killed bim; that they hau
probably been associated in some disrepu
table business and finally quarreled, and
tnat tneir associations were ot such a
nature lie did not dare to reveal them.
FAMINE S DREAD HAND.
Vienna, May 25. Terrible distress
prevails lo Galicn owing to a failure of
last jear's crops. There is a famine of
food, both for man and beast, and the
governor of the province has appealed to
he authorities here for a special grant ot
10,000,000 florins for the purpose of
purchasing supplies for the starving peo
ple. More than 100,000 horses have per
ished during the last week for want of
food. In the little district of Nisho alone
over 2500 have died. On a meadow ju;t
outside the town of Dubrowu there are
lying the bodies at 400 horses which have
starved to death.
The othPr day a speculator from Pesth
took advantage of this state of affairs in
Galicia to purchase a batch of 525 half-
si arved horses, at the incredibly ctieap
price ot 30 kreutzers, or about lli cents
piece, and 1500 more were offered to bim
at the same figure. Bread has vanished
from tbe 'and and tbe people are living
almost exclusively on potatoes, and think
themselves fortunate when they can get
even them. Horned cattle have likewise
all perished, ana milk and butter are not
to be obtained for love or meney. Under
the circumstances, it is not astonishing
tbat tne inhabitants are leaving Ihe
country in shoals, emigrating to the
United States.
ACCIDENTAL DEATH OF AN OLD SETTLER.
Gold Hill, Or.. May 25. Dr. J. M
McCoy, an old settler of Oregon, was
found dead in his room at this place this
morning. An inquest was held and the
verdict was tbat be came to bis death by

phine and chloral, while suffering from a
severe attack ot nervous prostration.
The doctor has been practicing jnedicine
bere for several years. He is well
acquainted all over this state and bis
family resides at East Portland.
IT WILL BE FORFEITED.
Washington, May 20. Representative
Hermann of Oregon was to-day in con
sultation with the public land committee
as fo tbe forfeiture ef the Nor' hern Pa
cific railroad land grant between Wall
ula and Portland, Or., and his committee
which previously reported a bill for for
feiture, will consider and report favorably
to tbe senate a bill, which is now before
tbe committee, and be will try to pass ic
before tbe close ot Ibis week. Having
passed the senate, tbe hoBse has only to
act. Tbe senate bill confines the forfeit
ure to all grants co-terminus with uncom
pleted lines. Persons in possession under
a deed or written contract with, or license
from the company made prior to January
1, 1888, shall be entitled to purchase tha

receipt ot numerous letters from settlers
along the Northern Pacific railioad grant
between Waliula und Portland, ail expres
sing an earnest wish for early action. He
sajs tbat tbe settlers in Oregon and Wash
lngton may rest assured that in the course
of a few weeks these lands will be res
tored to settlement, as there is now a de

WHY THE CHINESE WEBE LOST.
San Francisco, M y 23. The ne ws of
tbe wreck of the ship Oneida at Sanat Is
land, Alaska, caused considerable excite
ment along tne water front, wbere many
of tbe white men wbo were aboard tbe
vessel were well known Captain Ander
son did not nntil to-day make detailed
report of the affair, and it was not known
what bad become ot the survivors. In
addition it could not be understood why
no white men were drowned and why tbe
fatality should bave been confined to the
Chinese.
The Thin Point Packing Company is
controlled by Liouis Sloss & Co., and at
t:'e office of tbat firm it was learned this
morning tbat the surviving forty-five
white men and thirty two Chinese were
left at Thiu Point. Tbey are in bo danger
of suffering in any way, as tbe company
has an extensive cannery at tbat point
and plenty of previsions.
Captain Anderson says tbe heavy loss
of lite among the Chinese was due lo the
fact that when the vessel struck the Mon
golians were panic-stricken and could not
be managed. They rurhed hither and
thither on tho decks and were washed
overboard five and ten at a time when
ever the sea broke over the vetsel. The
white men took to the boats acd saved
themselves by swimming, cliuging to
timbers and manfully struggling for their
lives. Tbe demoralized Chinese gave up
and were lost. Those who retained their
presence of mind and did as they were
told succeeded in reaching the island.
The Oneida went to pieces very soon after
striking the rck, n1 nothing was saved.
The cargo and vessel were insured. Cap
tain Anderson has the full confidence of
the owners, and tbe wreck of the vessel
is considered to bave been no lault of
his.

Glacier: The base ball game between the
nine trom Modriani a mill and the Hood
River club came off at tbe grounds in Fair
view Sunday. Owing to the fact that we
were at the Cascades to see the Harvest

Glacier: It is strange, but true, that Hood
River, situated in the heart of the Cascade
mountains, placed her strawberries in the
Portland market this year two days sooner
than any other place in tbe state, and
might have made the time four days, as
beiries weie shipped to Montana two days

Last Saturday, George C. Campbell, a
slight lad cf sixteen, on going to see his
traps near Ward's mill, near Eight Mile,
found that a bear had escaped with one of
thfm, dragging the twenty foot pole to
which it was fastened and bearing evidences
of no very peaceable character along the
trail. George soon found the bear, a large
black one, lodged at the foot ot a hill
smong some firs. The boy undertook to
kill the bear with a club, but his blows had
no more effect on it skull than if it were a
blacksmith's anviL The monster renre I on
iu hind feet, snapping its jaws viciously
and strikiug aside the club with its paws.
It was impossible to kill the animal that
way so George mounted his pony, threw
his rope on the bear's neck and choked it to
death, thus securing its valuable pelt and
delicious steaks

amputation was determined on. All of th
fingers and thumb of the left hand and all
but the little finger of the right hand were
amputated. 1 wo similar cases are reported
in St. Vincent's hospital in Portland. It is
believed that the influenza has had some
thing to do with inducing the disease It
is readily distinguishable from leprosy in
that Reynaud's disease affects only the fin
gers and toes, while leprosy manifests itself
on au parts ot the body.
A MESS OP IT.
Oreqonian: F. A. McDonald, late register
of the land office at The D dies, writes a let
ter as a partisan to explain away a letter he
wrote last November as an official. By this
remarkable performance he succceeds admi
rably in making himself contemptible. He
now wishes he hadn't written that letter,
since be perceives it is extremely embarras
sing to the Oregon Democracy; so he wants
to make out there was nothing in it. He
really didn't intend to reflect on the Penno
yer administration at all. Tbey were out
side parties, all republicans, whom he was
after, but it so happens that it was the gov
ernnr who was charged by law with the duty
of selecting the lands, and Af r. McDonald
asserted in his letter that the lands were se
lected in the interests of a ring who had sold
them in advance for S3 50 an acre, while
paying only $1 25 an acre for them.
In his official letter Register McDonald
said: "The selections as made are against
tne interest of the general government and
ot this state, and are against sound public
policy." ' Now, who made the "selections,
or allowed applicants to make them ? The
land commissioner of the state, the gover
nor. He is expressly charged by law with
the duty of making these selections. No
one can share it with him. McDonald, as
an official of the United States, insisted
that these selections were made wrongfully
and fraudulently; he now tries to make out
that there was nothing rong about them
tbat is, nothing that was done by the offi
cials of the state. True, he said in his offi
cial letter: "With telegrams and letters
and personal visitations. Hit stale has re
minded us of bees about .the bunghole of a
cider barrel;" but after all, it was not "the
state," he now tells us, but certain men not
(ik-ials, notably Messrs. McCornack and
Gilchrist. AU the men engaged in this
scheme he denounces as republicans. Gov
ernor Pennoyer, he informs us, is guilty of
no sin ot omission or commission in the mat
ter, for the governor has told him so. He
takes great pains, likewise, to "ring in" the
republican secretary of the state; bat, in
fact, the secretary of state has nothing to
do with the selection of land.
An intense partisanship reveals itself in
every line of tnis letter. Mr. McDonald as
partisan shows an intense eagerness to dis
credit Mr. McDonald as an official. Such
pnsalanimity for partisan ends is phenome
nal. After reading this letter, the publie
will be quite prepared to accept tbe state
ment of Mr. Davis that Mr. McDonald had
some of the pork. It -was mean in him,
however, to "peach," and it is meaner still
cow to try to recant. Mr. McDonald has
made a mess of it. Just now he electa to bo
believed as a partisan rather than as
an official. After our election ot next week
the exigency will not be so great. Oregon
is to be congratulated on the fact that Mr.
McDonald is no longer one of ber citizens.
If there are depths below depths of con
temptibility, Mr. McDonald is down flat at
tbe bottom.
CHOP-WEATHER BTJLLETIJT NO. 11.
Oreqon State WeaVier Bureau in - opera

Portland, Oregon. Fur teeek tndiny May
Si, 1S00:
Cooler and more cloudy weather ha rrc
vailed during the week, wiih a rising tem
perature on Friday and Saturday. Light
frosts occurred in a few sections on the 2 1st,
but no damage is reported from tbem. On
tbe 19-h, light, general rails prevailed
throughout the stato, varying from a
sprinkle to three-teotbs of au inch, which
proved of benefit to all veget.tiun. From
eyery section of the state, saye along the
coast and in Douglas, Josephine aud Jack
son counties, comes reports that more rain
is needed, especially for late sown spring
(rain and, in sections, to allow the proper
heading out of the fall grain. Some fear, it
rain does not fall by June 1st, that an aver
age crop will not be harvested.
Fall and early sown spring grain are be
ginning to bead out; the stalk is generally
reported to be very short. Rye is beading
oat, and alfalfa is in hloom in Morrow
county. Cut worms are injuring the onion
crop and gardens in Washington and Clack
amas county; in the latter tbe hay crop on
bills will be short, and tbe late sown grain
did not germinate well and much did not
come np. Through the Willamette valley
more rain is needed. The showers on the
19th proved to be of great good, bat not
enough rain fell. The acreage of grain in
Benton is reported to be less than for years.
In Southern Oregou counties, everything is
promising and large crops will be harvested.
More rain would do no barm, though in
most sections it is not yet badly needed. In
these counties the winter . rains were un
usually heavy. The rain freshened up veg
etation in Eastern Oregon, though more is
needed. Encouraging reports as to the
prospects comes from the entire section. A
good rain before June 1st would insure tbe
largest crop ever gathered in this section.
The weather has been too cool for corn to
do well. Late sown grain does not promise
ai well as winter and volunteer grain. Iu
Gilliam buffdo grass is drying up. In
Morrow potatoes, and corn as well as
wheat are promising. In Umatilla the
wheat is heading.and nights have been cool.
In Union the valleys of Wallowa, Baker
and interior counties report crops at grow
ing well and giving promise of good yields.
There has been bet little rain and rather
high temperature for tbe past five weeks.
The snow continucsjto melt in the mount
ains, but during the week tbe rivers bave
remained nearly stationary or have fallen

Chas. S. Miller and Mr. R. Nortor, tha
coal mining expert who accompanied him,
spent three or four days among the coal
beds near here last week. Friday they
drove into town, and brought with them a
large box of coal samples which tbey ob
tained in the several openings to the coal
mines. While on their return trip we bad
the pleasure of meeting Mr. Norton, and
he informed us tbat his mission was a secret
one. He said the people he represented
required the information for themselves
alono. The box of specimens left bere
was marked to "R. Norton, Hetel Port
land." Mr. Norton bas been in the employ
of the Northern Pacific as coal expert for
several years, bat whether he came oat
here for that company or not, we cannot
say. It is probable, however, that he came
in the interest of the Hunt railroad men,
as The Dalles people are in conference with
Hunt in regard to building The Dallea
Southern, one branch ot which will doubt
less come through here, on its way to the -mines
of the upper John Day. Mr. Norton
will doubtless be compelled to report a
superior quality of coal perhaps the best
on tbe coast and plenty in sight, one yeia

to hear some good news before long, as
