VICTIMS OF A POWDER EXPLOSION.
Industry, Pa., July 0. Five of seven
little victims of the powder explosion last
night have died, the last one being the
nincteen-months-old daughter of August
Smith. Emma Smith, aged 0, and Charles
Shaw, aged 8, the other victims, will re
cover. The father of young Breman is
crazed with enef. and last night tried to
killSmith, the owner of l.he building
where the powder was stored. This
moraine- be wandered away from home
and was found near Elizabeth, Pa., several
miles from Industry. Close wateh is now
being kept on him. The coroner's jury
rendered a verdict in accordance with the
facts as stated in la?t night's dispatches,
and condemned the merchants keeping
powder and other explosives where chil
dren have access o them.
THE WOOL TARIFF QUESTION.
St. Jbocis. July 6. Officers of the
Wool Growers' National Association have
issued another address to wool growers,
setting forth the dangers of the proposed
amendments to the McKmley bill, so far
as wool is concerned.
Senator Hale's amendment, if adopted,
the address sajs, will admit wool free of
duty from all the nations of this bemis
pbere. Cleveland's free wool recommen
dation was no worse. South America's
wools would supplant domestic wools and
your industry would perish. The lie
publican platform would be violated and
the principles of protection surrendered,
as the production of wool necessary for
clothing in the United States would be
transferred to foreign nations.
doubt that soon rafis of timber will be
towed down from the Sound. In fact,
the Pacific Pine and Lumber Company
has purchased the right, for this coast, of
Ite-brrtson s patent tor ocean ratts. I tie
company has been incorporated, witn a
capital of $30,000, and a raft will be con
structed as soon as possible. The great
trouble m floating an ordinary Bat rait or
logs, like that brought bv the South Coast,
is that the ends, if not all heavy, will in
evitably cause a part to break adrift and
captains often consider themselves lucky
to bring any of their logs into port.

An Opening,
San Francisco Chronic'e.
American farmers are looking about in
order to discover if possible some avenue
which will pay them a better profit than
the production of grain at low prices for
the forpign market. While it is probable
that wheat will appreciate in value to
considerable extent within a short time,
still it is apparent that attention should
be paid to other products for which
present demand exists at remunerative
rates.
One of these avenues can be found in
the foreign demand for dairy Droducts.
Last year Great Britain alone imported
$50,000,000 worth of butter and $21,000,
000 worth of cheese. Of this vast amount
of the products of the dairy the United
States supplied but a beggar lv $2,000,000
worth of butter and $9,000,000 worth of
cheese. Other European countries, too.
consume large amounts ot these products
wnicn tney are obliged to import.
llere then is an opportunity tor creat
ing a market which will take annually
many millions or dollars' worth of pro
duct of. American dairies. That any
other country should be able to compete
with tin?, either in the excellence or the
cheaoness of its dairy products, will not
be conceded by any one who is at all
acquainted with the facts. Higher annual
rental are demanded for grazing lands in
Europe than the fee simple costs outright
in Amenca, while there is no part ot the
world where more abundant or cheaper
food tor dairy cattle can be produced than
here. With these advantages what is to
prevent tne entire imported butter sup
ply ot England from being drawn from
this country? Nothing in fact but the
supinenesscf the farmers themselves, who
are loth to change from one industry to
anotuer.
So Ions, however, as such opportunities
as these (and there are many more that
ruignt be pointed out) are open no one
will waste much sympathy upon the
farmer who persists in growing grain
when there is, as be claims, no profit in
it
Baton Rouge, La July 6. To-morrow
evening the fifth day will have expired on
which Governor Nichols has to return the
lottery bill either with or without his ap
proval. There is hardrv a doubt as to
what the executive intends to do in the
matter. Governor Nichols's advisers have
stated that not only would the governor
veto tlie bill, but toe action of the legis
lature will be strongly condemned. The
veto message will meet with the necessary
two-thirds vote, as the leaders in botb
bouses are ready for any emergency.
. LANDS FOR SETTLERS.
Washington, July 6. Major McKinley
said to-day that within a week or two a
day would be given by the committee on
rales to the consideration of the land
grant forfeiture bill. There seems little
doubt bnt the bouse bill or the senate
bill, amended, will pass if it is once con
sidered. Both bills include the 3,500,
000 acres from Wallula to Portland, of
the Northern Pacinc grant.
DERAILED BY LOCUSTS.
New York, July 6. A special to the
Herald from Port ot Spain to-day says:
A fatal railroad accident has just been
caused by locusts on the line of the Cen
tral railroad, about twenty miles from
Caracas. It appears that an engine and
car had been dispatched to pick up work
men employed on construction of the road
and bring them to Caracas to receive their
pay. When going down a steep grade
the engine flashed throngh a swarm of
locusts on the rails. These pests, as they
were ci ushed by the wheels- of the loco. -motive
and car, formed an oily substance
which made- lbs tracks so slinpei.HBatJ; crashing of flying debric
the brakes could no longer hold the trail IT peopIe-ere-!flliTvjiig in
to tne rans. . i be engine, assume aown
at a terrible speed, . bounded lrom the
line at a curve, and ran into the tide ef a
mountain. The driver and fireman
jumped off, and in doing so, sustained
severe injnnei. Another engine was tel
egraphed for from Caracas, and a fore
man and gang of men accompanied her
with appliances to replace the runaway
engine on the rails. At the same steep
grade, however, engine No. 2 also came
into collision with locusts, this time with
fatal results. The engineer lost all con
trol of bis engine. As it dashed down
the incline through the tunnel it left the
rails at the same curve at which the first
locomotive and cars had come to grief
and telescoped tbem. So terrible was the
collision that the engines and cars were
broken to pieces. Three men were in
stantly killed and fifteen more or less
seriously injured. One poor fellow in
attempting to jump off the engine as it
was going through the tunnel, bad bis
brains knocked out. Those killed were
buried on the spot.
THE SEAL FISHING COMPETITION.
San Francisco, July 6. The Chrontde
states that the Alaska Commercial Co.,
which, until recently, had the exclusive
right to capture seals in the American
waters of Behring sea, has now secured a
contract with the Russian government
granting tbem the exclusive right to cap
ture seals on the. Siberian coast. The
number ot seals to be taken is limited,
but it is not known. It is believed to be
very large. The steamer Karluk, owned
by the company, has recently sailed for
Petroffsky to capture seals there. The
competition of the Alaska Commercial
Co., will be very severe for the North
American Commercial Co., which was re
cently awarded by the United States the
sealing privileges in Bebring sea, and it is
believed toe enect will be to greatly re
duce the price of skins.
NEWFOUNDLANDERS DISSATISFIED.
Halifax, July 6. Newfoundland pa
pers continne to denounce the modus ti
endi and support of French claims by
British officers. The St. Johns Herald,
in a long articles, asks if it is constitut
ional for the British naval and military
orccs to interfere and set aside the regu
lar operation of law. under the colonial
government, as has been done in compell
ing tne lobster canning factories to close.
James Baird who refused to close his fact
ory at Hamdeo, says Sir Baldwin Walker,
by bis illegel act In closing factories, has
gone a step too far, and the example set by
Baird will doubtless be followed by other
factory owners. This will precipitate a
crisis, and England will find that the
people of the colony know bow to main
tain their rights. They will rise as one
man to resist oppression.
SAVED FROM THE FLAMES.
Sacrmento, Cal., July 6. Fire last
night destroyed a small bouse occupied
by Robert White, a saloon-keeper. Mrs.
White bad just. put ber fonr children to
bed and bad gone to another room to get
a drink of water, when a lamp in the bed
room exploded and the burning oil cor
ered the floor. She ran out crying, "mur
der," and then Tan back into the room
where the children were and. fainted. A
neighbor named Carter ran in and dragg
ed the mother out and then saved the
children. It was a daring act, as one-
balf minute more would bave seen tbem
destroyed. Oue of the children was an
infant. The b"use was destroyed and the
family lott all they had.
THE COAST LUMBER TRADE.
San Francisco, July 0. Large rafts ot
logs are being constantly towed down the
coast. .Yesterday the steamer south Coast
arrived from Fort Bragg with a raft of
816 piles in tow. Off Cape Mendocino,
daring a heavy bretze, forty of the piles
broke adrift and could not be recovered.

THE PATH OF A CYCLONE.
Fargo, N. D., July 7. This city was
visited this morning by the severest wind
storm ever known here. It began at 2 :30
o'clock and continued bait an hour.
Earlier in the night there were some indica
tions of rain, and about midnight it began
to thunder and lightning. Tbe wind first
began to blow from tbe south, but sad -denly
shifted to tbe northwest and in a
very short time it was blowing a hurri
cane. The three electric towers were soon
blown down, leaving tbe city in darkness,
that was relieved only by vivid flashes of
lightning. Frightened inhabitants were
aroused from their sleep and lights were
shining from windows all over the city,
bat outside there was nothing but dark
ness and tempest and nothing could be
beard but the angry roar of the wind and
debns. " By 4 o'clock

to ascertain the amoiinf-Gf -damage done.
while his son-in-law, Duke of Bragaoza
now King of Portugal, ent ertained simi
lar expectations.
SEVERAL DROWNED.
Sacramento, July 7 Yesterday Job
Driscoll. of the firm of Root, Neilson
Co., received a letter from Captain Bod'
fish, of the steamer 31. D. IIumex confirm
ing tbe news of the death of bis son. Job
Driccoll, jr. The young man sailed some
time in April for a tour of tbe Arctic, and
at Ounalaska, May 17, accompanied
party on a cod fishing exptdiiion. Their
boat capsized and the flpcu pants were
thrown into the water. Several men
were drowned outright, but Dnscoll an
others clung to tbe boat, and alter being
in tne watar nve hours were rescued and
taken on board a steamer, where young
unscoil died in tne mate s -arms, lie,
with one other of the dead, was buried on
shore. Mr. and Mrs. Driscoll have gone
to San Francisco- to make arrangements
lor naving tne body brought to Sacra
mento for interment. Tbe deceased was
19 years of age and bad mauv friends
among tbe people of this city.
8K0W8HEDS DESTROYED.
Sacramento, July 7. Fate seems to
be against tbe snowsbeds. Yesterday
afternoon a stretch of 230 feet ot sheds
was destroyed by fire et Strong's canyon
near the summit. There was some talk
last year, in view of the improved appli
anccs tor hauling snow, of abolishing the
sneds entirely, but it is said that Hun
tington protested. Several sections of
sheds bave hetn recently demolished by
derailed trains, and the heavy siege
last winter made necessary an enormous
and expensive lot ot repair work. As the
point of yesterday's fire is one of the worst
on the "hill" tor snow, tbe burned sheds
wnl undoubtedly be promptly rebuilt.

IN BERLIN COURT CIRCLES.
Berlin, July 7. Berlin court circles
are greatly disturbed in consequence of
tbe sction of Dowager Empress Frederick
in investing tbe fortune she inherited from
the Duchess ot GaKiera in England. ' This
money seems destined to create an ill- '
feeling. In 1888, when tbe will of tbe
ducbess was read, tbe Comle de Paris
was furious over its pi o visions which gave
the balk of an immense fortune to tbe
German ex -empress, as he bad confident

The British Census.
Omaha Bee.
Following m our wake, the British
government is engaged in making prepa
rations for the next decennial census,
which is to be taken throughout the em
pire 10 months hence. The collossal
nature of the work mar be estimated from
the fact that tbe census of 1881 showed a
total population of 253,000,000. It has
been decided to greatly reduce tbe num
ber of questions on which information is
demanded and to make tbe undertaking
as simple and consequently as popular as
possible. No inquiries will be made as
to religious faith or creed, and tbe ques
tions dealing with tbe occupations ot tbe
people will be either entirely omitted or
much generalized. These latter consti
tuted the most laborious, costly and least
satisfactory part of tbe last census. Many
of tbe terms nsed in defining the nature
of the occupations of tbe persons enumer
ated were very perplexing. Wl'at, for
instance, was to be understood by a "doc
tor maker," a "blabber," an "iron bolster
maker," a "bulldog burner" and an "all-
rounder?" Although tbe entire work of
enumeration will be performed as usual
within tbe space of 2i hours, the co5t will
be far below the $6,000,000 or $7,000,000
bicb we are devoting to our own stock
taking now in progress. In the British
census of 18S1 tbe cost did not exceed
$31 per 1000 of the population, a rate

local nuns to-day.: j . .
The temperature ranged from 90 to 108
degrees on Jane 30th and July 1st in all
parts of the state, except aloDg the coast.
Local thunder showers prevailed on the last
two days of Jane and first day of July. On
Jane 29th a very severe thunder storm,
accompanied with rain and hail, was expe
rienced a few miles north of Grant's Pass,
Josephine county.
The extreme heat of the fore part of the
week did very little injury to crops. The
weather during latter part of week was
very beneficial to the growing crops. Fall
wheat is now generally past the point that
the weather could injure it. Spring wheat
is doing remarkably well, and if no unfor
seen causes interfere the yield will be much
greater than anticipated. The warm
weather was beneficial to corn which is
growing well.
Colombia county reports hay a fair crop;
on uplands very good. In Washington
county hay is aa average crop. In Clacka
mas county fall wheat will be ready to cat
inside of two weeks; crop will be an average
one or more; spring wheat and oati growing
well. In Yamhill, Polk, Marion, Benton
and Lane wheat outlook is very promising;
spring wheat will make more than'was ex
pected; corn, oats, hops and hay will aver
age well. Codlin moth doing soma damage.
Fall wheat will soon be ready to cat, heads
are well filled. In Douglas county good
crops are now assured. Josephine and
Jackson counties will have fan cereal crop.
Fruit crop will b3 large, except peaches;
melons promise to be plentiful; berries are
in abundance. Clatsop, Tillamook, Coos
and Curry counties will have very good
crops, fully op to the average.
Hay is quite generally reported to be
short in Western Oregon and reported to be
an average crop in Eastern Oregon. Wasco
county bas indications of a better wheat
crop than for years; the same for Morrow
county. Sherman and Gilliam counties re
port average crops. In Umatilla and Union
counties reports indicate a yield of from 30
to 50 bushels per acre. Wallowa, B-iker,
Crook, Grant and interior counties bid fair
to make average or more than average
yields. The present outlook is most en
couraging for a fine harvest throughout.

He estimates an average yield of forty

Tbe stones were as large as walnuts. The
wind blew so hard that many trees fell, and
the passengers were in doubt whether they
would do better by remaining in tbe cars
or going out. One tree in falling grazed
the rear coach of the train, and a stop had
to be made while some eight or ten trees
were cleared off the track. This delayed

Editor Tiais-MocsTAUiuiu
In Saturday's Times-Modktainebb I
notice an article from "Well Wisher", pro
testing against anything like a literary en
tertainment at the close of a term of school.
He says "there is a feeling among parents
that these entertainments are against the
general interest of the school"; and remarks
that "such things are good in their proper
place." If the school is not the proper
place will "Well Wisher" please name the
proper place. Knowledge is the result of
earnest endeavor and practical experience,
and this branch of education should not be
neglected. Teachers of experience have in
formed me that the pupil is not disturbed
in his regular studies but works and pre
pares during his leisure hoars, and, cf
course, this sometimes breaks into the cal
culations of a few dollar blind parents.
Probably, "Well Wisher," we bad better
do away with the few minutes of recreation
given to children during tbe day, as it
breaks into the "regular work of the school,
according to the interest they take in their
play." Yes, there are a scattering few who
believe in nothing but goading with no per
suasion, who seem to know only this pour
ing in process never seeking to draw out.

A well authenticated story comes to us
to the effect that a certain valley in Lake -county
called the Sikan contains many dead .
cattle, and that some of the carcasses are
resting (not roosting) in the tops of mahog
any trees, ten to twelve feet above ground.
The snow was very deep outlhere and
stock losses were great accordingly, . The
few that were seen dead in tree tops when
the snow disappeared evidently withstood
much suffering from cold and hunger before -they
succumbed.

After Horse Thieves.
East Oregonian.
Pendleton officers are looking for two
worthies, for whose captnre a reward of $25
has been offered. One is a "greaser," a
large man, with a dark complexion, flat
nose and no beard. The other is a white
man, with a red face and a yerdant look
which would be apt to deceive a poor judge
of human nature. He wears a red shirt, a
leather belt and a white hat. He repre
sented himself as a horse bnyer in Pendle
ton nntil an opportunity came to prove that
ho was a horse thief.
After lounging abont town for some days,
both suddenly disappeared Thursday night.
Simultaneously aix or eight head of horses
were missing fom John Ward's pasture, a
saddle from J. M. Graham's feedyard, and
a horse and saddle belonging to a young
man named Frazer from James Lindsey's
feedyard. It is supposed also that they
took two horses missing from a band of
eleven belonging to a horee buyer, which
were running on the reservation.
No oue knows where the thieves went.
It is probable that they belong to an or
ganised gang. They will be run down if
possible.
