THE DEADLY CYCLONE.
La-wrence, Mass., July 26. A cyclone,
the first of any considerable importance
within the memory of New EoglaDd,
and equaling in destructive power those
frequently reported from western com
munities, yisiled the suburbs of South
Lawrence this nioroin, and in fifteen
minutes had killed eight people, seriously
injured from fifteen to twenty, and
slightly injured at least twenty more. It
cut a swath through a thickly populated
section two hundred feet wide and a mile
long, rendered many people homeless,
dtatioved or greatly damaged some seven
ty five or one hundred buildings and
dwelling bouses, leveled a beautiful
square of over five hundred trees, and en
tailed a property loss now estimated at
$100,000, a!l of which was uninsured
against windstorms. 1 he calamity is the
greatest which has visited Lawrence since
the fall and burning of the rcmbertoo
mills, thirty years ago. South Lawrence
is a busy lailroad junction, and in a vicin
ity where there were many wooden houses.
occupied mainly by well-to-do mechanics.
and among theso the cyclone spent its
greatest fury. The northern boundary
belt of destruction was but three streets
south ot toe lolty mills with their busy
throng of thousands of workers, showing
how narrow was the escape trout a more
appalling loss of life and property. The
air was hot and humid, dark clouds scur
ried westerly through the heavens, with
iotetmiited raio. Suddenly the wind
veered and an inky-black, cone-like cloud
seemed to drop from the cum ulcus mass
hanging in the southwest and move
rapidly with awful aspect toward the city.
It was accompanied by torrents ot ram
In an instant the crash caine, an build
ings were lifted from their foundations
and dashed to pieces; others tipped over,
or were blown from their position, and
more or lets damaged, and the air was
filled with flying debris.
Most of those who met their death In
the wreck were killed instant'y. Many
lay unconscious or groanicg in the ruins
of their homes.
The train of ruin in its path showed
that the cyclone touched the earth at or
near the cricket grounds, crossed Emmett
street, Broadway, Railroad and Parker
streets, and entered Springfield street at
its southwest end, traversed its entire
length, demolished nearly everything in
its course, including t no house on Foster
street and two on South Union street
where tbey cross Springfield street, passed
from Springfield street into Union square,
leveling over 500 trees, and thence over
Sbuwseen river, where it exhausted itself.
The firemen rendered great assistance
in removing the injured from the ruins,
and business men carried several mangled
and crippled human beings to the hos
pital. Others were taken to private
bouses.
WALLACE IN ASHES.
Spokane Falls, July 27. News has
just been received here that the town oi
Wallace, Idaho, the great mining camp
of the Coeur d'Alenes.has been completely
destroyed by fire. At 7 o'clock this even
ing the Union Pacific train dispatcher at
lekoa, Wash., received word Irom the
Western Union operator at Wallace that
the town was doomed, and that bis office,
which was in the Union Pacific depot at
the lower end of the towr, was becoming
too hot to work in longer and that he
would be compelled to remove bis instru
ments to a cooler place at once. The fire
started at what was Shorty Denver's
saloon, a resort in tbo upper end of the
town, and as the Union .Pacific depot is
at the other extremity, it is supposed that
the entire town was swept away. This
coDjecture is confirmed by the report that
at this hour (0 P. M.) at Tekoa that
nothing further bad been beard by the
Tekoa dispatcher from the Wallace oper
ator,
10 p. m. It is now learr.ed definitely.
through an crucial ot the Union Pacific,
that the entire town is gone, with the ex
ception of the two railroad depots. The
wires are all down and further particulars
are unotitainable. The lofg is thought.
by Spokane business men who are inter
ested in the town, to be fully halt a mill
ion if not more. "
The town of Wallace is situated 110
southeast of Spokane, in a deep canyon
in a spur of the Rockies, and is one ot
the most flourishing mining camps in
the United States, no less than, a dozen
flourishing mines being directly tribu
tarv. amoner them beincr the famous
Morning and Evening mines.
At 10;lo p. M. a special from Tekoa to
the lleview was received as follows:
fhrougti the operator at Wardncr it has
been ascertained that the fire started in
the Central hotel and burned north and
east over the entire business part of the
town. It was also rumored that the
Union and Northern Pacific depots, with
the cars on the side tracks, were burned.
Later. A private dispatch lust re
ceived says the town is entirely destroyed
and htteen hundred people are homeless

cepttons.
THE HIVEK AND HARBOR BILL WILL BI
CONSIDERED.
Washington, July 27. The interest
manifested in the river and harbor bill on
the Pacific coast, evidenced in the tele
gram received yesterday and laid before
the senate by Mitchell, may resu!t in
active efforts by the Pacific coast delega
tion to have the bill considered in the
near future. The commerce committee is
very anxious to have the bill put through
and has, instructed the chairman ot the
committee, Frye, to confer with Aldricb,
who is in charge of the tariff bill, to de
termine upon the best time for calling up
toe river and harbor measure. JJolpb,
who is a member of the commerce com
mittee, has been using every effort to have
the matter taken up. At the caucus of
Republican senators held some time ago,
rrye asKed lor instructions about the
bill, but beyond expressine a belief that
the bill should be considered as a regular
appropriation bill, to be given right of
way at any time, the caucus did nothing.'
Frye has not desired tc antagonize the
tariff bill with his measure, but be feeis
the necessity of having it put into what
may be a longconfercuce as soon as possi
ble. There are chances, of course, that
ine bin win not go through
I mitted, other stutes would claim the same
right, consequently his claims will not be
considered. Washington can get her in
creased representation only when other
states entitled to the same consideration
eet theirs.

influence was inimical to it. They have
believed, therefore, that there was a pos
sibility that the bill would be killed. The
easiest way to do thai would be to prevent
its consideration in the senate. Frye will
doubtless make an effort to have it taken
up before the end of the coming week, or
early in the week following. He will try
to reach, an agreement with Mr. Aldrich,
failing i this, he expects to antagonize
the taril bill witb the river and harbor
bill in tl.e morning hours. . -

WITHDRAWAL OF PUBLIC LANDS.
Since it is apparent that the men who
were working for the withdrawal of the
public lands in the west are in the mi
nority, an attempt is being made by the
friends of the director of the geological
survey to iix up tne matter, lue rettor
auoo or tne purine lanns cuts out also a
provision to expend 75,000 by Powell.
idis means that a great many ot the di
rector s friends will not be seut into the
mountains to make surveys and maps,
and the amount of money will stav in
the tiea.mry instead of being used by
these mountain pleasure parties. While
the western members were willing that
ine surveys should continue, tbey could
not afford to have the lands withdrawn.
So the whole matter talis.
A RIDICULOUS FIZZLE.
Paris, July 27. M. Ribot, minister of
foreign affairs, nearly succeeded in obtain
ing a combined remonstrance from severa'
of the European powers against the Mc-
Kinley tantt lull, but none of them seemed
to have much heart in this absurd attempt
ti interfere with the legislation of a for-
eigu government, and the whole affair has
nzzled out rather ridiculously. The gov
ernments of Austria, Belgium, Italy aud
ilonand sent responses toil, liibot scorn
municatious, which were generally favor
able in tone, and Germany replied verv
dubiously ty the proposition, making
really only an exchange of views on the
question and nt committing itself to anv
definite plan. Eogland immediately and
decisively declined to have anything to
no witn tne matter, and this at once led
Germany to refuse to entet the project.
With theso two powerful nations out of
it, there was little use in doing anything
furi-lier. and Austria and Italy altcrward
withdrew, repenting oi their rather hasty
consent. The consequence has been that
M. Ribot has altogether abandoned ihe
idea of offering any combined protest.

THE WAR IN SALVADOR.

the government, which would purchase
the Guatemalan Central, and, In its turn

tal, Guatemalan City, to St. Thomas, on
the Atlantic coast i
Washington, July 28. No steps have
been taKen at tne state department about
recognizing the provisional government
of Salvador under General Ezeta. The
department, however, is very anxious to
see the existing differences between
Guatemala and Salvador come to an end
Minister jyiizner has been authorized on

fighting like mad.
London, July 28. A Time1 dispatch
from Buenos Ay res says the President
Col man's police and cavalry suffered ter
ribly in attacking the civicas and troops
yesterday. The provisionals reopened a
heavy artillery fire at dawn Sunday on
the troops under Vice-President Pellegioi.
A terrible mistake occurred during the
fighting. The Eleventh regiment in
tended turning in favor otthe provisional
government. They, approached the artil
lery and before they, could make their
friendly intentions known to the ln&urg
ments tbey were mowed down in the
narrow street.
The minister of war is wounded and
the minister of nuance taken prisoner.
Colonel Marmeudia, Major Campos

retaliation.
Washingtion, July 28. Since the
Behring sea dispute and the publication
of tbe conespodeiice and breaking off of
negotiations, it is said that the cabinet at
two sessions have considered the advisa
bility of bringing Great Britain to terms
by retaliatory measures against carrying
goods in bond through Canada to points
in tbe United btaies. This was suggested
by Cleveland in a message ic congress,
which caused a sensation at the time, and
was suggested as a means for bringing
Eogland to terms on the fisheries dispute.
There is a feeling against Canadian roads
in some sections now, and the northwest,
with New England, is greatly inter -
ested. The Canadian Pacific, with its
lines reaching various points on the north
ern border, is quite troublesome to trunk
lines across the continent, and any attack
which would injure its business would
causa its influence in Canada to be exerted
in favor of a settlement ot the Behring
sea dispute.
SUICIDE OF A CHINAMAN.

A lajy passenger on the west-bound
train, says tbe East Oreqon'mn, gave birth
to a child while en route between Hunting

entered this world under such peculiar cir

explore its new surroundings ere it started
on a journey to the next. The remains
were taken from the train at Pendleton and
interred in the cemetery here. The mother

Lexington Budget: The Timm-Mopnt-aiskkr
is doing good work for The Dalles.
It uses plain language and acorea th moss
backs of that city for not nsing their ofj
portunities to make the city what it should
be, and urges tbe citizens to wake up to
their own interests aud pull together in
stead of injuring themselves to spite each
other. If the advice of the T.-M. were
followed The Dalles would soon be a city
of which all Eastern Oregon would be
proud.

Dallas Observer: The educational interests
of tbe state are being care: ally looked after,
although it is now vacation. A teachers
meeting is at present in progress at Oregon
City, one has but recently arijonrned in
Salem, aud on the 11th of August another
will convene in East Fortiaud. There is
really no standing still in this work so far
as teachers are concerned. If the move
ment is not forward it is backward and the
teacher who retrogrades soon drops from
the ranks. The large attendance at these
meetings and the interest manifested shows
that there are few teachers, comparatively,
who are not alive to the possibilities of im
prorement in their work which experience
is constantly unfolding,
Astorian: Superintendent Simpson of the
Port Blakely mills says: "The Port Blakely
Milling company, when the site for the

cided to send there a stick of the pride of
Washington mill men, the state's fir lum
ber. I cruised around among tbe company s
timber for weeks and finally came across
what I wauted, in the shape of a magnifi
cent fir tree, standing upon a clump down
below Elraa. We have already felled the
tree and from its trunk will prepare a stick
that will be the largest and longest stick
of sawn timber ever made from a tree.
This will be exhibited at the worid's fair in
Chicago as an infant of tbe state of Wash
ington, premier domain of timber in the
world. This stick will be 150 feet in
length, 52 inches square, containing 33,800
feet of lumber and there is not a knot, a
break or fliw in the stick. The Northern
Pacific Railroad company has agreed to
carry tbe stick to Chicago for ns. It will
take a train of five ordinary flat cars to do
this. We have ample time in which to get
the infant ready. . Don't you think it will
be a sort of surprise party to even oar own

Those who went to th fair grounds Sat
uraay aiternoon and there were quite a
lot of people there were well repaid for
their attendance, for they witnessed as good
an afternoon's racing as has ever been given
on this track. There were three events on
the programme one run and two trots,
All were contests, and all contained ele
ments ot nrst class sport. Ibe nrst race
was the match race a half-mile dash run
ning, for $100, between Johnny Gomez's
bay mare, Sylba A, and G. E. Smith's
black gelding, Black Bab. The horses
came to the post about 2.30, and right here
we waut to say that too much credit cannot
be given to Mr. Andy Allen for the tine
condition in which he had his track, and
tbe time made in this race will show that
Tbe Dalles race track was in first-class con
dition Saturday. In the drawing for posi
tions aylba A got tbe inside, and starter
Allen had bat little trouble iu getting the
horses off, as at the second attempt thev
got tne word to a beautiful start. Sylba A
took the lead at once, though close pressed
oy aoo, and both ran in this position to the
quarter poie, wneu smitn on .Bob was seen
to move up on Sylba and they climbed the
lull together, neck and neck. As thev
lurneu in to tne Dome stretch Allen called
on the little mare and she r-spouded
iiuicaiy snowing about nail a length iu
front of the black as they came tearing
down the stretch. - Smith ulied whin and
spur, but all to no purpose, for alter a
ti.hting finish Allen landed Svlba A under
the wire a winner by half a length in the
good time of 55 seconds. This for a three-
year-um, witn only a week s training, we
call a remarkable performance.

The Shops.
The removal of the shop's from tbis city
is now complete, and from this time on
the whistle which for so many years baa
ronsed eur citizens from peaceful slum
ber will cease to blow and silence will
reign supreme where once was activity
and bustle. Many fond remembrances
are connected witb the place. Years ago,
when as a green, beautiful park, it was an
inciting spot for one to sit on a hot day
or walk through in recreation on Sunday.
That was in tha palmy days of the old O.
S. N. Co , when pleasure could be min
gled witb business; but on tbe ascend
ency of the O. R. & N. management,
beauty gave way to wotk, and tbe grassy
plots were made the depository of cin
ders and gravel, and tbe park lives only
in the memory of those wbo enjoyed its
benefits. Tbe hearts of many old timers
who were here at the beginning of things,
will feel a little ud as they think over
tbe past, and the discontinuing of bead
quarters here is to them like tbe loss of
an old friend. The shops have bad a
part in the history of Tbe Dalles longer
than roost persons suppose, for it is
twenty-seven years ago this summer since
tbey were first located. The old O.
S. N. Company was formed in I860 and
began operations by the building of their
first steamer the Idaho now employed
on the Bound, inis waa an important
one in tbe young northwest, for it was
tbe forerunner of what was going to hap
pen; aad the birth or all the mighty bus
iness now done in tbis part of the coun
try was with tbe building of the Idaho.
There had been steamers oa tbe river
before, but this waa the first the O. 3. N.
Co. owned. Soon aftei tbe building of
the Idaho the trade increased to an im
mense amount, and steamers were put
upon the upper river and tbe connection
between The uaiiea ana Ueiuo was made
bv stage. But tbe absolute necessity of
tbe railroad was soon made apparent and
steps -were taken for its accomplishment.
Witb the completion of tbe portage rail
road between Tbe Dalles and Celilo the
shops were begun on a 8m.all scale at
first, bnt soon increasing to keep pace
The season is now far enonaharlvanA
that it is poesiMe to calculate with some
accuracy what tho crop will be, and it is
generally acknowledged that the arrain eron
of Crook county is the best that has been
raised since 1885. Considerable of tbe fall
weather
much of a
una and
irrain in
fine shape, and even that which was injured
by frost will make a fair crop. Farmers
now estimate there will be enougb oats,
barley and rye threshed in the county to
supply the home demand, and of wheat
there will be probably enough to turnish
about two-thirds of the floor that will be
consumed in the county for the aext year.

Oregon State Weather Bureau m coopera
tion with U. 8. Signal Service, central office,
Portland, Oregon. Fr week ending July
S6, 1890:
Tbe week has been marked by continued
high temperature, ranging from 60 to 70
degrees along tbe coast, from 48 to 95
degrees in interior valleys and from 60 to
110 degrees east of the Cascades. There
has been an entire absence of clouds, except
along tbe ooast, where fogs, as usual, were
frequent. No rain is reported to have
fallen within the state, 'J
The weather has been very favorable to
harvesting operations, which are in full
sway throughout the state The weather
was favorable to late spring grain, hop.
fruit, etc.
Ihe tall wheat is reported to have a fine-.
large, plump berry. As little threshing
has been done so fat the yields cannot be
given. One report from W ashington county
says, "one field of 60 acres has been cut
and threshed which yielded 43 bushels per
acre."
At Gerveis, on the 24th. the first wheat
was received at warehouse from Mt. Angel:
on tbe same date last year the first wheat '
was received at the same place
it is estimated that tbe entire section of
country witbin twenty miles radius of
Athena, Umatilla county, will yield, on au
average, from 6a to 60 bnsbels of wheat per
acre. In tbe trench prairie, Marion
county, the wheat is generally better and
has a larger yield than ever before. Crook "
county has an increased acreage of wheat,
and tbey expect to raise sufficient for local
demand. In section sontlr of the Blue
mountains crops are all reported good.
Union county has the brightest of prospects.
Morrow county will have tbe best grain
crop ever prodused. Sherman, Gilliam and
asTO counties will haye more than aver
age crops. The entire Willamette valley
sends in the moat excellent reports as to
wheat prospects, and Southern Oregon will
have fully an average crop

Large quantities of fruit are being -shipped.
Prunes, plums and pears are es

now about to be realized.
