TELEGBAPHIC-
tiU a Hitter Feud.
London, Oct. 9. The Healyites claim
tcHiave discovered a well organized plot
to murder 'leading anti Paroellities who
may atteDd tbe funeral of tbe late states'
man. This will be made the excuse fo;
absence on the part of man y, arid it is be'
lieved tffat they are rather glad of so
good an excuse to stay away, thus avoid
ins the disorders that teem inevitable, in
case the factions meet at a grave of tbe
man over whom they quarreled-so bitter
ly in life. The better c asses of tbe Irish
people deeply deplore the unseemly
wrangle, which has broken at a moment
when decencv would have dictated a ces
nation of hostilities.
Most of tbe 'ad spirit being manifested
is due to ibe harsh attacks made on Far
nell's personal charactt-r' almost before
his body was cold, by -Archbishop Walsh
in toe Irish Uatlwlir., ar,d toe nearlv as
bitter response in United Ireland. Many
refuse to believe that the archbishop is
the author of the article iu question,
though no denial to that announcement
has been made. Most of the- McCar-
thytiea prefer not to be interviewed, as
they think there is too much talk
goiogo n and too many things being Baid
in tbe excitement of the moment wbicb
will be regretted later on.
Daring Kobbery of a Bank In
al
Iowa County.
La Grande. Oct. 9. Word bas just
reached here of a daring robbery wbicb
was perpetrated upon tbe National bank
of Enterprise, in Wallowa county. On
Wednesday afternoon Cashier Holmes was
alone in tbe bank, when a man entered
and said: "How much money has John
Smith, of Portland, on deposit here?"
Upon Mr. Holmes saying tbat no eucb
man bad any money there, the visitor
pulled out a pistol and sticking it in bis
face, said : "You are a damned liar." By
this time two confederates bad come up
on horseback, and while one, sittiugon
bis borse, with a pistol in each band,
warned the people back, tbe other en
tered the bank, and pushed all tbe money,
on the counter, $3b00, into a sack. The
three then e aped to tbe mountains in
tbe direction of Cornucopia A posse
was organized and sent in pursuit, but,
as the country is sparsely ' settled, their
capture is doubtful, Four thousand dol
lars more was in the till under the count
er and could have been bad as well as
not bad the robbers taken tbe time.
The Alliance on tbe Money Question.
Topeka, Kan., Oct. 9. Hon. John G.
Otis, tbe newly-elected alliance congress
man from the fourth Kansas district, has
prepared a financial measure for the con
sideration of tbe incoming congress,
consisting of nineteen sections and oc
cupying four newspaper columns. It is
presumed to represent the view of the
alliance party on the money question.
and is a tvpe of the legislation now
demanded by tbat party in tbe west. It
provides tor pennies and nickies, gold
and silver coins, and tbe free and un '
limited coinage of Dotb. and that $200,-
000,000 of ., paper money, each bill oeiog
absolutely money and, not in the form ot
promise, be issued. It provides that
"each and every kind of nioeey mentioned
iu ' tins section shall be interchangeable
with each other at par aid be a full legal
tender for all debts, both public and
private.
Germans in Russia.
Berlin, Oct. 9 A large German immi
gration bas set in Irom tbe Baltic prov
inces of Resia to Germany. Tbete prov
inces have not been visited by a failure
of the crops, but they all are disastrously
haffected bv the decree prohibiting the
exportation ot rye, which has ruined many
iamuies. in addition to this, Russian
authorities arc enforcing new and harsh
regulations for tbe purpose ot Russian
iziog tbe inhabitants and causing them
to forget their native language and re
ligion. These regulations toibid tbe use
of tbe German tonguo in tbe schools, and
ail efforts on tbe part of tbe Lutheran
pastors to make any converfs are also
punished as crimes. This section of the
Russian empire is known as the czar's
Alsace-Lorraine. Tbe Inhabitants ciing
to their German ongion and language.
and tbe czar will find bard to make tbem
forget either tho one or the other.
The tsesU Fisheries.
Victoria, B. C, Oct. 9. Behring sea
commissioners, Powell and Dawson,
who have returned here, decline to give
any details of tbeir trip, but said they
bad visited all the rookeries, feed ins
places and other likely spots. They Went
as far north as St. Ltwrence island, west
as far as Petropaulovaksv, east to tbe
British Columbia coast, and south to
Neah bay. Tbe Russian and Behring
sea breeding grounds were visited, and
also tbe whole migratory range of tbe
seals, while all possible information was
secured trom correspondents. They wit
nessed the killing of seals and slaughtered
some themselves. ' Many whalers were
met with, but they could not accuse
them of being sealers Tbe commis
sioners are uofsessed of some voluminous
notes. After communicating1 with tbe
Victoria sealers, they will proceed to
Ottawa with the American commission
ers so as to prepare a joint report.
Attempted Assassination.
Marseilles, Oct. 9. Ministers Gayot,
Roche and Rouvir, who were in tbe city
to-day, ' had an exciting experience.
They left tbe prefecture in carriages,
escorted by hussars and a number of
gendarmes.. The streets were thronged
with cheering masses, but at several
points along tbe road pronounced hissing
and. booting was beard. While passing
through tbe boulevard Liberte, somebody
in the crowd hurald an open knife hav
ing a sharp blade at tbe ministers. Tbe
weapon missed the ' mark, the handle
striking with considerable force an officer
of the prefacture, in the rear of the
ministerial carnage. The . gendarmes
immediately charged and despersed the
men, but were unable to discover tbe
assailant. "
Major lleKinley at Findlay.
Cleveland, O., Oct., 9. Major Mc
Kiniey this evening spoke to an enormous
crowd at Findlay. He referred to
Campbell's assertion of yesterday, tbat
tbe Findlay Window Glass works em
ployed chiefly Belgians and otber un
naturalized citizens, and tbat tbe "meager
pay" of these men had been reduced
since . the passage of the McKinly bill.
As a result of inquiries made to-day be
said, upon good authority, that of 500
window-glass workers in Fiadlay, there
are not over fifty Belgians, and those all
bat five, bvre been naturalized, or have
taken out their first papers. Tbe
"meager wages," ranging $100 to $300
per month, have not been reduced one
penny since tbe passage of the McKinley
bill.

The Situation In Chili.
VALPARAiso.Oct. 11 (via Galveston.)
According to tbe present political out
look the liberals will carry tbe large towns

tive and the semi -clerical party will
mage gains in the county district. At
the earliest opportunity.after the firm es
tablishment oi tbe new government,

payment by representatives of the differ
ent foreign natives here. Tbe British
claims amount to between $50,000,000
and $60,000,000 and separate English
claims, to between $10,000,000 and $20,
000,000. They are for damages to nitrate
works, and for railroads and buildings
destroyed during bombardment of Iqui
que. also for losses incurred by business
bouses at Valparaiso after tbe battle of La
Placilla, and for the detention of tbe
Pacific Steamship Navigation Company's
steamer and the vessels of otber parties
Tbe Spanish and Italian claims amount

Seattle, Oct. 11 A tall and handsome
young woman, about 20 years of age, was
placed in tbe county jail this evening
bile suffering from derangement of the
mind, evidently due to over-excitement
nd extreme nervousness. Where she

was received from Washington last night
at too late an hour to make tbe necessary
inquiries to get a confirmation: "The
government of tbe United States bas just

A Cowardly Harder.
Kalama, Oct. 12. A logging camp
near Woodlawn, Cowlitz county, Wash,
was the scene ot a dastardly murder last
Friday evening. Vic Beebe, a young
man 24 years of age, and a son ol a well
known mill man ot Woodlawn, was
killed in cold blood by a man named
Day. In the early part of the afternoon
young Beebe had some difficulty with
Day s son. about some cows that were
destroying Beebe's corn, and slapped
young Day's face. Tbat evening about
twilight the elder Day, who is a rancb
man called at Beebe's camp and asked
him to walk down the road with him
toward Woodlawn.
Tbe two proceeded about half a mile
along the road, talking over the difficulty
that had occurred in the earlier part of
the dav, when Day suddenly turned
around, and, drawing bis gun, shot Beebe
through the body, the ball entering
the right side and coming out on tbe left,
passing through both !ungs.
A boy who bad joined the party saw
the shooting. Day turned upon him and
made an attempt to kill bini also, but
the cartridge caught in tbe barrel of tbe
gun and tailed to discbarge. Tbe boy
took to bis heels and reached Woodlawn
where he reported the killing of Beebe.
lieebe s body was brougbt.to Woodlawn
that night and an inquest held. '
Day had fled to tbe woods, but -was
captured next morning by tbe constable.
A mob- gathered to lynch Day, but tho
constable took bis prisoner over the river
into Clarke county and brought him by
a circuitous route to Kalama, where he
is now lodged in jail. Great indignation
prevails throughout tbat section, and it
u teared that Day will be Ivnched,
Day's son, who had caused tho difficul

Served him Right.
Binohamton, N. Y., Oct. 12. Domes
tic infelicitude between Mrs. Alvin De-
long, of this city, and ber husband
induced her to shoot him about midnight
last night, killing him instantly. One of
the bullets entered his left arm. and the
otber bis heart. Some years ago Delong
was employed on tbe Delaware and 11 ud
eon. but lost bis position on account of
bis Bacchanalian propensities. Then he
took up painting and paper-banging for
, vocation, lie was a bard worker, but
pent a large portion of his earnings with
other women and for liquor. His family
includes three children two daughters,
the eioeBt ot whom is 17 years, and a son
about 14 years of age. On Saturday
Delong attended a fair in this city, and
when be returned to supper it was plainly
evident tbat he had been drinking. He
started to go out of tbe house and Mrs.
Delong pleaded vainly with bim to re
main. Soon after 11 p. M., Mrs. Delong
and a little dog named Pete started out
to hunt him np. Pete bad no trouble in
tnking bis trail aud led bis mistress to a
bouse kept by- a women ot checkered
career. Mrs. Delong enquired for her
busbaiid. Hearing ber voice, he stepped
out and used her shamefully. Finally
he accompanied her home, abusing ber
every step of tbe way. When near home
Delong assaulted his wife. Just then
two shots were fired, and by the time
officcis arrived, Delong was found dead
bis wife's feet. Mrs. Delong was
arrested and lodged in jail. During tbe
day she has been irresponsible for ber
utterances. Her husband bad mauled
and kicked her. she said, until she could
put up with it no longer.
Hun tins for Outlaws.
Springfield, Mo., Oct. 12. The news
from Stone county respecting tbe search
for tbe cave outlaws is still very exciting.
Tbe cave where tbe outlaws and suspected
robbers are concealed, if they bave
not escaped through another- outlet
known only to themselves, is in one of
tbe wildest regions of tbe Ozark moun
tains, nearly forty miles from a railroad
telegraph omce. Tbe latest report
states tbat Sheriff Bookout's force bas
been largely increased by reinforcement
of armed men, who rallied to the scene of
the excitement from all parts of Stone
countv. Growing impatient at the fruit
less results ol tbe siege, the posse deter
mined to enter the cavern and hunt for
tbe outlaws and tbeir supposed treasures
Tbe cave proved to be a great wonder
world, containing numerous avenues and
pits. Descending into one of these yawn
ing chasms tbe party round otber rooms
below tbe first'story of chambers. The
possibility of finding one of tbe tradi
tional lost silver mines of tbe Ozark
mountains, once said to be known to tbe
Spanish adventurers who explored the
White river country, also stimulated tbe
searching party. Room after room was
entered, but nothing much was found.
It is reported that tbe robbers when dis
covered by tbe prospecting mineis a few
days ago, told tbe latter tbat they bad
plenty to eat and could escape, if neces
sary, tbrougo an outlet Known only to
themselves. Tbe sheriff and posse are
still keeping op tbe search.
A Romantic Story.
Cincinnati, Oct. 12. The court at
San Diego, Cal., has just given Mrs.
Wbitewortb, of this city, and two cousins
$20,000 worth of real estate in the heart
tbat city. Mrs. Whitnworth is a
daughter of James Robinson, a teacher,
who, sixty three years ago, deserted fait
wife and two children near this city and
eloped with Sallie Snyder, a pupil.
They went first to Canada. After two or
three years tbe girl sought unsuccessfully
a reconciliation with ber parents. At
tbe same time, Robinson surreptitiously
visited and, unknown to tbem, secured a
glimpse of bis own family. The couple
then went South, as we determined upon
at tbe start. They settled in what it
now Texas. Robinson prospered, and
was elected lieu tenant-governor, and
later became governor through tbe lm
peach men c of governor Smith at tbe time
of tbe war over Texas. He was captured
by Mexicans and terribly abused, until
be promised to use his influence to bave
tbe state return to Mexico. .This mda
bim unpopular, and he went to Califor
nia to avoid lynching. There be became
wealthy, and died in 1863. A son of tbe
Snyder woman became a member of tbe
California legislature, but died in early
manhood. The Snyder woman, who all
along had been supposed to be Robin
son's wife, bad inherited all tbe property,
but twenty years ago sold all the realty,
and a few years ago returned to Cincin
nati, ' Mrs. Whiteworth beard of it two
years ago.hunted ber op, and learned her
father's history, and began tbe suit which
bas ended so well for her. . Mist Snyder
it now 82 years old, but bright as a
woman of 50. She rerides at Wyoming,
a suburb, and though rich, still cherishes
such a hatred toward ber family for re
fusing to forgive ber that she allows ber
only brother to reside in the count poor
bouse.

Morton made several lungea at Knebel, but
missed him every time except the last,
when the knife entered Knebel't breast,
piercing the lungs. Mr. Howe, the night
policeman, immediately arrested Morton
and placed him in jail, and Knebel was

Payors the Washington Bide.
The Portland chamber of commeroe bas
decided to adopt the portage road from tbe
dalles to a point opposite Celilo on the
Washington side of the river. This route
was adopted by a vote of 20 to 7. Portland
it to take $300,000 in bonds. Lengthy reports-
were made on all possible routes.'
The following contains tbe fist of the re- ,
port of the committee, .at relates to the ob
jections of the Norton -route:
We do not consider the to-called Norton
route, on the Oregon tide fessible, nor in
view of the probable legal complication
over the rights of way now controlled by
the Union Pacific and the Columbia Rail
way and Navigation Company, do we con
sider the route paralleling tbe Union Pacific
on the other tide, or the route suggested by
Mr. Bogue in hit report, from a point near
Three Mile Rapidt to Celilo, on the Wash
ington side, as being proper for favorable
recommendations. We find that by Mr.
Bogne's estimate the lowest cost of this
route would be $347,000, exclusive of ware
houses,' wharf boa ta and steamboats. This
estimate is made on a basis of $18,000 per
mile, cost of construction, while tbe same
engineer for a piece of road on the Oregon
side which, we are informed, it not muoh,
if any, more difficult of construction, etti- '
mates the cost at $25,000.
Referring to the possible line on the
Oregon side, suggested by Mr. Bogus, par
alleling the Union Pacific, we find the esti
mated cost by bit report it $400,000, exclu
sive of boats and wharf boats, and in this
estimate apparently the necessary tunnel at
Cape Horn, referred ta in Mr. Bog a t re
port, is omitted, which tannel would cost
conservative engineer's estimate from
$65,000 to $75,000, and again, while tbit
line it estimated to coat $25,000 per mile.
we find on investigation that the Union Pa-
60 line in the tame district cost from $50,
000 to $60,000 per mile.
Do Animals Season?
Many instances haye been cited to show
that horses, dogs, cats or other animals are
endowed with reasoning faculties, though
it a generally accepted fact that they
ave instinct in place of reason. It is not
oar province to decide the question, but to
record another singular happening wbicb
would show that if brutes have not the
power of pursuing a train ol tnougnt to a
logical conclusion, their instinct stands
them in at good stead and they attain the
same object.
In the early part of tbe summer an iron-
gray cayuse was noticed by the ferryman.
Mr. Johnson, loitering about the beach for
three days, eating tbe garbage and all times
watching the boat and looking at it intent
ly aa it crossed and reorotsed the river,
with its loads of other horses and wagons.
One misty morning, just as the boat was
about to start, the horse came running at
fall speed and oleared the chain at a jump,
and, running to the other end, stood with
its nose over the opposite chain, pointed
toward the Washington shore. Before the
boat had fairly made good it landing the
horse jumped the chain again and ran np
the steep embankment and was never again
seen by any of the boatmen.
Whether the borse bad formerly bved in
Washington aod had crossed in this manner
before, or whether it had learned from ob
servation, cannot be told, but the bora -crossed
the river and paid no fare, and
doubtless reached it destination in safety.
