Harrison Will Decline a Second
Term anl Favors Blaine.
Chicago. Ane. 14 A special to the
Herald from Cape May N. 3V says
President Harrison will before the meet
ing of the Republican national couven
tion of 1892. declare over bis own re
signature, and in the most emphatic
manner, that he is not a candidate for
renomination. The president decided
npon luis coarse within the last few
weeks, and bis purpose in calling hither
a few days ago Chairman Clarkson, of
the national committee, and Stephen B
Elkins was to tell these gentlemen that
they might inform those Republicans
who are talkiner sides either for or
against hid renomination. that they are
doing it unnecessarily. The decision of
the president, not to permit his name to
go before the convention, was made with
some reservations, wlucu depend upon
these conditions:
First If the present bitter opposition
within the Republican party to Mr. Har
rison s renomination sba'l continue tin
next spring, be will withdraw.
Second If Blame shall be well ana
strong enough 10 take the nomination,
and the party's demand for him contin
ues as strong and sincere as it appears at
the present time, Mr. Harrison will with
draw.
Third If Mr. Blaine, having sufficient
health and strength, shall be willing to
take the nomination, Mr. Harrison will
withdraw.
The information that the president
reached this decision is from a source
not to be questioned as to its accuracy
and trulhwortbiness. Mr. Blaine knows
tbat the president occupies bis position,
Mr. Claikson, Mr. E'.kins, Mr. Qoay and
Mr. Piatt also know it. Mr. Quay has
been advised not to force his Blaine
boom in Pennsylvania, and be has called
a halt. The Harrison-Blaine programme,
which all the bosses have been given a
chance to fall in with, is that no move
ment shall be instituted for a presidental
aspirant, neither for tko president nor for
Mr. Blaine, nor for any other man if it
can be prevented. The party, without
organized efforts to influence it, is to be
permitted to make its own choice for the
presidency.
The Kaiser's Accident.
Paris, Aug. 17 The Reclaire, which
not given to sensationalism, prints
the following as from undoubted author
ity : On the night after the departure
of the HoUerzein from England, the crew
was beaten to quarters. They fonnd the
quarter dock illuminated and an altar
erected thereon. The kaiser stood by the
altar, wearing a white chansble with a
crosier in bis hand and a black and
white mitre on his head. He read the
most warlike passage from the Testa
ments and invited the crew to respond.
He then preached a long sermon on the
duty of the people to their sovereign.
At 5 o'clock in the morning the kaiser
appeared on tbe bridge in the uniform of
a high admiral. He ordered tbe com
mander to retire to the cabin, saying:
"I take charge." Tbe commander re
plied respectfully, obserting: "We are
in a dangerous passage, and it is advis
able tliHt a sailor rbould remain in mm
cmiid." The kaiser answered: "Never
iniud. God will' inspire me." Tbe com
mander then retired, tile second officer
remaining. The kaiser angrily ordered
him away. The officer respectfully pro
tested that his presence was necessary
to the proper management of the
vessel. The kaiser said imperatively;
"You trouble tbe spirit of God which
is in me. This is- the vengeance of
God upon you." With that he dealt
tbe officer a blow on tbe cheek. Tbe
officer grew crimson, but remained
nntil tbe kaiser seized him by the
throat, and ried to overthrow bim. In
tbo struggle the kaiser fell and broke his
kneecap. Tbo sailors looked on, paralized
with fear by the spectacle. The kaiser
howled with pain, foamed at the mouth,
swore terribly, and showed all tbe symp
toms of madness. Tbe officers briefly con
sulted together, and carried tbeir sover
eign into a cabin which had been carefully
padded with matresses. Only the doctor,
Leuthofd, the empress and the men
necessary to restrain tbe kaiser were
admitted until tbe injured leg bad been
bandaged and hia majesty bad been se
cured in a straight-jacket. The crisis
lasted for three days.
Another Banner Day.
Chicago, Aug. 17 This was another
banner day in wheat. Saturda'y con
fusion could hardly be exceeded, yet the
Visitors in tbe gallery to-day were well
entertained, and the gentlemen on tbe
floor were not heard to complain of a
lack of action. Before the exchange
opened the bears were predicting a big
drop, wbile the enthusiastic bulls were
talking Cf $1.55 for wheat. When busi
ness began tbe familiar bowl went up,
and it was impossible for a while to tell
what was being done. December wheat
closed Saturday at $1.06. Tbe open
ing this morning was $1.09 bid, f 1.10 bid
11.11 bid and $1.11. Some was sold
at all trie prices named in tbe first ten
seconds. Within the first three-quarters
of an hour there bad been sales at $1.12,
fl.13 and some at $1.14. In tbe
height of tbe excitement one trade was
made 10,000 bushels at $1.15. Suddenly
it became known tbat several bouses,
with foreign connection in orders, were
selling heavily. This was enough. If
there had been a wildness in the previous
buying, thcrerwas little short of insanity
in the selling craze wbich followed.
The bears, who bad been too frightened
to sell for several minutes, made a com
bined onslaught in wbich tbey aided tbe
onos'wbo bad been following tbe bnll
lead, and December dropped. Tbe
most determined efforts of tbe bulls
would only result in keeping it up
for a moment or two. Within - a very
few moments tbe price bad reached $1.05.
Then, favorable bull news coming in, it
advanced to $1.07; but after an bour of
see-sawing back and forth, near tbat
figure, it declined to- $1.04, then ad
vanced to $1.05. About noon a tele
gram was received from B. P. Hutchin
son, by one of bis friends, saying: "For
eigners are selling frantically and wbeat
will drop." A dissemination of this
prophecy encouraged the bears. The
excitement quited down. Then many
"longs' figured out tbat they were draw
ing on a shoal, and as a result they be
came panic-stricken. Tbe early buyers
turned sellers, tbe bears pushed, and
December dropped with a rush to $1.03,
finally closing at $1.03.
A Fatal Bailroad Accident.
Berlin, Aug. 17. A terrible accident,
resulting in tbe instant death of twelve
persons and serious injury of many others,
some of whom will probably die, oc
curred on the . Tura-Simplon railway,
near this city. A special excursion train
conveying hundreds of villagers from tbe
ntry to witness tbe fetes
h tbe 700th anniversary
of the city of Berne,
siding a short distance
rder to allow the
pass. The engi-
Vhrc
sto
neer of tbe exm-ess. as nearly as can now
be ascertained, had not been notified of
tbe fact tbat an excursion train was on
tbe track ahead of him, and tbe conduc
tor on tbe excursion train seems to have
neglected to send a signal man back to
protect tbe rear of his train while the
shunt was being arranged. The express.
running at high speed, came upon the
excursion train bo suddenly that tbe
engineer's offorta to check its speed and
avoid disaster were unavailing. The
heavy express dashed into tbe rear of tbe
excursion tram, demolishing tbe Hind
most coach and forcing its way partly
through the next one. The rear
coach happened to be an empty one,
which was intended for passengers to be
taken on at another station. Tbe guards
in charge of it were killed, but tbe ores
ence of this car doubtless sayed tbe lives
of many occupants of tbe other coaches
As it was, tbe passengers in tbe second
coacb were nearly all Killed or mi urea
Trainmen, assisted by the passengers who
had escaped injury, set to work: immeai-
ately to rescue tbe unfortunates who were
imprisoned in the wreck.
Fatalitiea At Ellenshars.
ElleSsbubg, Aug. 17 Early yester
day morning Joe Alder, a well-known
barber, and three companions, left for
hunting and fishing trip up to Wilson
creek, fourteen miles away. After ar
riving tbey separated, agreeing to meet
at a cetain place in tbe evening to start
for borne. Adler did not show up, but
bis friends waited till dark, and then
concluded he had gone borne alone,
When tbey reached town be had net yet
put in an appearance. - rue party re
turned to the mountains at daylight this
morning and soon made the horrible dis
covery. Tbey found Alder lying on the
ground with his bead between two large
rocks and crushed out of all semblance
of humanity. Everything Indicated tbat
e had stepped on a large stone on tbe
steep hillside, wbich began to roll, he
falling ahead of it aboot twenty feet
gainst another rock. - In this way his
hesd must have been caught between
the two and crushed to a jelly. Tbe cor
oner's jury visited the scene and rendered
yerdict of accidental death. '
About 7 o'clock this morning J. Crip-
pin, a young man about 20 years old,
went to the Yakima river to bathe, being
accompanied by Rev. Duncan, a Presby
terian minister, whom be was going to
teacb bow so swim. Arriving at the
river Duncan requested the young man
to go in first, so as to watch his move
ments. Crippin did so and almost im
mediately got iuto deep, cold water. He
was seized with cramps, sank twice and
rose no more. All the time Duncan
stood on the bank, unable to render any
assistance. Tbe body was recovered at
30 o'clock in fifteen feet of water.
Yonng Crippin was employed in Wood-
worth s drugstore, and was a most exem
plary young man.'- His death, coming so
close upon the terrible accident of yeo
terday, has cast a gloom over the city. ;
nigh Prices For rain.
Pendleton, Aug. 15 Adams, fifteen
miles north of here, was tbe scene of a
ively competition among wheat buyers
Friday, and tbe farmers derived tbe
benefit. It is reported tbat no less than
100,000 bushels were sold at 75 cents
m tbe sack, 3 .higher than the ruling
market price for sacked grain, which was
72 cents Friday, and that $75,000 will be
distributed among the farmers in tbe
Adams neighborhood alone, for one day's
sale. W. H. McBride, who is in tbe city
from Adams, says that extraordinary
good yields are tbe rule in tbat vicinity.
'Roe" Ferguson obtained fifty-three
bushels to the acre, and much of the
grain will go from forty-five to fifty
bushels. To-day being Saturday a num
of farmers were in the city, and much
wbeat talk took place on tbe street cor
ners. The farmers are of course elated
over tbe sudden jump in tbe market
which his placed wbeat to-day at 75
cents in sack. Seventy-two cents net was
offered for bluestem This is a splendid
price, but the. farmers appear too greatly
excited to sell, and few sales took place
to-day. '
Farmers Elated.
Walla Walla, Aug. 15. The local
wheat market to-day is in a booming
condition. Tbe city is full of .farmers'
who reported tbe grain yields as greatly
exceeding - expectations. The wheat
market, wbich during the past week had
stood at 67 cents for club and 69 for
bluestem on cars, late Friday afternoon
took, a sudden raise. Offers were made
at 74 and 75 cents, and at these rates
William Jones, tbe grain merchant,
bought 115,009 bushels of wheat from
Babcock, tbe wbeat king of Eureka Flat,
paying 85 cents. Other sales In large
quantities were also made by Jones and
other buyers. This morning tbe market
opened briskly, all tbe dealers offering 74
cents for club and 75 for bluestem, wbile
occasional higher offers for fine grades
were made. The market bad a firm tone
all day. The aggregate of sales ex
ceeded 10,000 bushels for to day. Far
mers are generally willing to accept these
offers, and it is expected, if tbe murket
holds at tbe present figures, sales on Mon
day will be immense.
George W. Hughes, formerly superin
tendent of construction on the Hunt
roads, returned from St. Paul, where be
secured a contract for twenty-five miles y
or graaing on me ureii noruieni rosu,
extending from Cbathney to Little

The Yellow Fever.
New York, Aug. 17 The steamer
City of Washington, which arrived here
this morning from Mexican ports and
Havana, reports yellow fever prevalent
to an alarming extent at Vera Cruz, and
though tbe health authorities are striving
to check the spread of the disease, tbeir
efforts are apparently unavailing. Many
deaths occurred during the last six weeks,
and it was a common sight, officers of tbe
vessel say, to see a string of funerals half
a mile long, stretching from the gates of
the city to tbe cemetery, each funeral
party waiting patiently for a chance to
bury its dead. Among the' latest vic
tims of the malady is L. J. Snowball, a
well-known commission merchant of 70
Wall street, who - has been in Mexico
since tbe 2d of August. Tbe City of
Washington was - detained for thorough
inspection and fumigation at qurantine
as a precautionary measure, and will not
be allowed to come up to tbe city until
to morrow. On tbe vessel are Captain
Pratt and wife, of tbe tugboat Julia; tbe
second mate and tbree sailors ot the
American ship AJcbar, and Captain
Brunk, of the Danish bark Imierieuse, all
of wbich vessels were recently wrecked.
A Sensible Plan.
New YoRKj'Aug. 17 A Herald edi
torial says :: "There is a gooddeal of
sound horse Bouse in the plan for coloni
zing a largenvmber of negroes on the
Pacific slope. Senator Stanford is said
to be icterestcd, and it is predicted with
in the next twelve months that 50,000 or
more colored people may find employ
ment and homes in California. : In any
event, the scheme is under fall headway,
and will have a fair trial. The climate
out vonder is peculiarly genial and
adapted to the negro constitution. Cali
fornia is in need of laborers, and can
give them steady work and fair living
wages, as tbe (Jhinese are neitner HKea
nor trusted."
War Material Seized.
New York, Aug. 17 Advices from
Carthage, United States of Colombia,
state tbat a dispatch b&s been received
there from Curacoa, of tbe Dutch Antil
les, announcing tbe seizure' by govern
ment authorities of the colony of Curacoa
of a cargo of munitions of war destined
for Hayti. A portion of the cases con
taining war material bad been partially
sunk in tbe sea. These the goverrment
officials raised by dredging, wbile tbe
rest of tbe cargo was seized aboard the
bark. Tbe whole was deposited in the
arsenal there.
Hew aietal Discovered.
Pittsburg, Aug. 17 A series of ex
periments by Thomas Harrison, of ibis
city, into the properties and uses of
nickel, steel and manganese bronze,
resulted in the discovery of the new
metal. ' The chief characteristics of the

tensile strength, Is indestructible, being
impervious to acids, and that it can be
wrought into spikes,
nails, etc., while
either hot or cold.

Yesterday tbe widow'stepped into a
neighboring market and asked the price
of the best end of a neck of mutton, that
particular part of the defunct sheep from
wbich it will be remembered, those suc
culent morsels called cutlets are generally
sliced.
"Sixteen cents a pound, ma'am."
"Sixteen cents! That's dear."
"So it may be," replied Mr. Butcher,
but if yon take the whole neck yon can
have it for 10 cents a pound."
"What does it weigh?"
The obliging butcher placed thelnest
tbe scale, and informed bis customer
tbat it weighed ten pounds, which at 10
cents a pound would just amount to an
even dollar.
"Now, Mr. Butcher, would you mind
just putting your knife through there and
weighing that piece for me?"
Oh certainly, ma'am; it. weighs six
pounds exactly."
"ThanK you, very mucn. jnow, win
you kindly charge tbat to my brother-in-law
at 16 cents, which will make 96
cents, and then if I give you 4 cents and
take tbe other four pounds myself, it
will be right, won't it? and she smilingly
tcddled away with four pounds of a neck
mutton- wbicb cost ber a penny a
pound, while Mr. Butcher stood gazing
intently at the ceiling, trying to discover
bow it was done.

"In Brazil," says a traveler, "rats are
very troublesome, and to rid tbeir bouses
of the pests the inhabitants resort to a
peculiar method. The gibola, a small
species of boa, is reared expressly for the
purpose, and tbe serpents, many of. them
fiteen feet in length and about five inches
thick are sold in tbe markets of principal
towns. The snake is harmless and slow
of movement during tbe day, but at
igbt, when tbe household is deep in
slumber, tbe exterminator gets in bis
work. His method of killing tbe rat is
to catch it by the nape of tbe neck and
crush tbe cervical vetebra. Tbe serpent.

Oregonian: The party from the Oreijonian
composing room who ascended Mount Hood
last week saw three foxes op at Illumina
tion rock, and on the summit they saw a
very lively mouse, wbich bad made its nest
in the copper box left by the Alpine Club.
It had gnawed one corner off the book and
cut up a newspaper to make a nest. Some
of the boys threw stones at tbe mouse, but
soon desisted when they thought what
straggle for existence tbe little beast musa
have. What the mouse or the foxes live on
is difficult to imagine. Tbe party left
some food for the mouse, and probably
everyone who ascends the mountain leaves
some crusts or crumbs there, but such stray
fodder most furnish very precarious exist,
ence even for a moose and hia mate.
Yakima Herald: For some years a small
band ot wild horses have been known to
roam the rugged mountains that rise from
the river banks on the Okanogan, The
arts and skill of mountaineer and plainsman
have been exerted to entrap the wary ani
mals, bnt tbeir subtle scent and fleetness of
foot defied near approach until jost re
cently. Not long afft a fine horse was
missing. A handsome reward being offered
for its return, John Owens started en a
searching expedition, and his quest lead
him to the stamping grounds of the wild
animals. After great exertion and strate-
gem, he finally captured four of the band,
which he now has corralled at his home.
They are fine fiery American stock, and
bear no evidence of ever having been brok-
One of them he has since broken to
bridle, and that he was riding at the time
of telling of his strange adyentnre.
If you kill one cricket, other crickets will
gather around and pick his bones before e-o

they are troubled with crickets, tbey nse
this fact for all it is worth. They drive a

march a few times and tramp a few million
to death. Then tbe whole army of crickets
gather around the dead pioneers and the

'Opposition, tbey say, "is tbe life of

A Profitable Industry that Is Hapldly
Extending.
Tbe fruit farm of the Senfert brothers,
esst ot the city, now present a lively ap
pearance, the gathering of the crop of late
peaches for shipment being in full progress.
The owners expect to ship in the neighbor
hood of 8000 boxes of this variety of fruit,
the greater part of which is sent as far east
St. Paul. Grapes and other fruits are
also being daily marketed from the Seuferts'
orchards, and one, a stranger to the country,
can hardly realize tbat this fruit farm but a
faw years ago was only a succession of sand
dunes. ' It simply shows what thrift snd
enterprise can accomplish. The raising of
fruits is to be one of Oregon s great indus
tries and nowhere, within the state, can tbe
business be carried on more advantageously,
and with a surer profitable return than right
here in Wasco county. There are many liv
ing in tbis vicinity who are qnietly growing
rich through . fruit raising and the time is
not distant when the business will be en
gaged in by scores of others awakened to
tbe. tact that nothing gives Detter or more
certain returns on the investment made.

There is at least one of the army of east
era tourists that is now returning home
well convinced with the unapproachable
greatness and Wonderful possibilities of
this section. A matronly, well-to-do ap
pearing woman hailing from New York
and out for a trip on pleasure bent, was
among the recent arrivals at the Umatilla
House. She was evidently not well satis
tied with what she had seen and thirsted
for something new concerning the country
that she could tell ' to her friends on her
return. This she confided to Col. Sinnott,
the urbsne host, and he lost to time in
giving to his guest a history of the early
periods in The Dalles' existence. Graphi
cally he discoursed upon the resources of
the country, but not until he bad described
how, in earlier days, he used to cross the
lordly Columbia astride a salmon, and how
George Francis Train once walked half
way across the river on the same kind of
fish and filling his pockets with samlets
did the wonder-stricken tourist exm-esa
doubt of the correctness of the
stories. Even then her doubts were
quickly dispelled when she was shown tbe
signature of the notorious globe trotter up
on the register of the hotel, and she be- '
lieves it all. The reminiscence of the cold
winter of '79, when the riyer froze solid to
its bed, while water continued to uninter
ruptedly flow above tbe ice, struck her as
more than usually peculiar, but when she
looked the mild-eyed colonel full in the face
and saw how earnest he was she knew it
could only be the truth. -The amiable tour
ist highly compliment her host saying she
bad secured- more real knowledge of the
wild and woolly west from him than all
others she had sought for information.
AH TJJH0UE DISPLAY.
The Horticultural Department at the
f ortiana exposition.
One of the most attractive features of the
Portland exposition, opening next month,
will be tbe horticultural department. Su
perintendent Mitchell will, devote more
care to this portion of the exposition than
has hitherto been displayed. In order, to
make it entirely successful, additional space
has been granted' and inducements offered
to the fruit raisers of the state to make an
elaborate display. Arrangements have
been made with Senfert Bios., of this
place, for the erection of an immense pyra
mid, the base of whioh is to be constructed
of immense Hubbard squashes, ending at
the apex with a brilliant little red currant.
At tbe time of the completion of tbe North
era Pacific road the Senfert Bros, erected a
similar pyramid that attracted great atten
tion. Superintendent Mitchell has seoured
a free rate oivall fruits and .yegetables for '
the exposition snd there is no reason why
Tbe Dalles should not . make an elaborate
display. In fact an extra effort should be
made to do so. At the last exposition The
Dalles Secured not only the. special premi
ums for best exhibit of grapes, but also
several others, and the superiority of fruits
raised in this vicinity is generally acknowl
edged. Wasoo Hews.
