Klfetlen Way in Cork.
Cork, Not. 6. To-day is to settle the
question of tbe succession to tbe seat in
tbe house of commons from tbe city of
Cork, made vacant by tbe death of
Charles Stewart Parnell. Tbe Parnellite
candidate is John F. Redmond, wbile
Martin Flavin stands ior tbe McCartbjite
interest. Tbe day's work opened with
vigor, 1500 votes being cast in tbe first
boor. Tbe streets are full of noisy horse
playing, but, so far, fairly well behaved
crowds of people. Nevertheless tbe ac
customed bUcktborn peeps from beneath
many coat tails, and there are not want
ing evidences tbat many hundreds of tbe
throngs who patrol the streets are any
thing but averse to an exchange of blows.
Priests, members of parliament, can
didates for political bonors.are incessantly
driving from booth tt booth, encouraging
their followers and looking after tbe
interest of their respective tactions. As
the leaders go from place to places, behind
gesticulating drivers and flying horses,
tbey are greeted with commingled cbeers
ana groans. After each stop, and before
each fresh start, some five or ten minutes
is wasted in remonstrating with voice,
fist and wbip against tbe attempts of all
tbe way from three- to a dozen persons,
who wish to get upon tbe conveyance and
ride along to tbe next station. There
are plenty 01 police guards in close
proximity to tbe voting booths, and
strong reserves are held in readiness for
prompt service at tbe station-house. In
addition to these precautions, there is
ample military in the city prepared to
immediately reinforce tbe police should
sacb a coarse become necessary. Tbe
soldiers are strictly confined to their
barracks, through tbe gates and from tbe
windows of wbicb hundreds ot tbem
watch the bolstering crowds passing to
and fro.
Portland Forger Caoght In California.
San Francisco, Nov. 6. H. L. Bates,
as agent for the state of Oregon, arrested
John Davidson, a machinist at Vallejo,
yesterday. Tbe prisoner will be taken
to Oregon. Davidson cashed at Ladd &
Tilton's bank in Portland a check on a
Seattle bank for $175, and Ladd &
Tilton's batk afterward discovered tbat
Davidson bad no fundrin Seattle. Com
lag to Han irancisco, JJividsoa enlisted
in tbe navy, and was assigned to tbe
cruiser Charleston, 'from which ship be
deserted in San Diego.
Trouble Brewing in Brazil.
London, Nov. 6, Adv'.ces received by
tbe Times to-day from Bio Grande Do
Sal declare tbe army and navy have com
pelled President Da Fanseca to assume
the dictatorship, and there is consider
able agitation in tbe province of Rio
Grande Do Sul, where late events at Rio
Janeiro are considered to be but tbe pre-
ade to tbe restoration of the empire.
fhe Times' dispatch continues: "North
ern Bravil is decidedly in favor of empire,
and only in central Brazil is tbe republic
popular. This may lead to Dom Pedro's
grandson becoming chief of state under a
regency of three prominent citizens."
The famine in Kuosla.
St Petersburg, Nov. 6. The gover
nor of Nijini Novgorod declares through
out tbe province all supplies of provisions
ae exhausted, tbat the peasants will soon
be without food, and tbat 1,800,000
pounds of grain will be required, a great
er part of wbicb must be imported. Tbe
difficulty of transportation will render
timely belp almost impossible. Tbe
commander ot tbe trans-Caspian army
corps has ordered all fragments left by
tbe soldiers to be made into biscuits and
sent to tbe famine districts. Many mem
bers of tbe foreign colonies in Moscow
are contributing freely to. fhe famine
fund. .
MISERABLE SUBSTITUTE FOR BREAD.
St. Petersburg, Nov. 6. Vast quan
tities of beet root refuge, -mixed with a
small persenlage of rye flour, is being
utilized for bread, and is said to be pala
table and nourishing. Tbe frequent com
plaints of dishonesty in tbe management
of funds intrusted to government officials
for relief purposes, has caused some
falling off in contributions, and there is
a growing demand tbat tbe expenditure
ol money made by pnvate'charity be
trusted to private hacds.
Freldrieh Sentenced to be Hanged.
Seattle, Nov. 6 Albert Friedncb,
twice convicted of the murder of bis
room-mate, Julius Scerbring,was to-day,
for the second time,sentenced to be bang
ed. The date of the execution was
fixed for Thursday, January 14. When
brought before Judge Homes for sen
tence, be did not betray the least sign of
emotion, maintaining tbe same wonder
ful composure tbat be bag kept up for
a period of more than tour years, during
hicb time be has been in jail. When
asked by tbe court if there was any reason
why sentence should not be pronounced,
be said, earnestly: "Judge I never
harmed any man, and I didn.t do this."
Freidricb's attorney gave notice of ap
peal, and expect to have tbe case beard
by tbe supreme court at an early date.
Tbey are confident tbat a new trial will
be granted.
Killed While Hunting. .
Salem, Nov. 8. Yesterday a party of
goose hunters left Salem, and when tbey
returned last night one of the number
was missing. Tbey were in tbe vicinity
of Zena. Polk county, and a searching
party this morning found tbe dead bod?
of tbeir missing member lying on the
ground ' by a fence. He was William
Lannseu, a young German, who worked
in tbe brickyard here. A coroner's jury
found tbat be came to bis death by tbe
accidental discbarge of a gun in his own
bands. It is thought that in getting
over tbe fence tbe hemmer caught and
the gun was discharged. Tbe load
entered in bis neck, and blew the back
ot bis bead off.
Terrible Accident to a Sjireat Northern
Kntfaeer.
Seattle, Wash., Nov, 8. Thomas W.
Mnjcr, an engineer, was terribly injured
in an accident on the Columbia & Puge
Sound railroad at 1 o'clock this morning.
He was bringing in a tram of twenty five
cars with coal from th9 Cedar mountain.
When about three miles from Renton, tbe
engine stiuck a cow which bad fallen
into the cattle guard, and afier lolling
the animal along for 100 feet or more,
the eDgine left tbe track and plunged
down a filteen-foot embankment into
Cedar river. Tbe four trainmen, who
were in the cab. escaped serious injury,
except Engineer Major. - David McKin
ney, tbe conductor, was thrown entirely
over the wreck and fell unhurt into tbe
water. Alexander W. Forbes, tbe fire
man, aiso went into tbe river, and Wil
liam Malady, tbe brakeman, got out with
a slight injury on tbe bead. Major, tbe
engineer, witb a crushed ankle and
broken leg, was pinned down in tbe cab
with only bis bead out ot tbe water.
Tbe escaping steam from the boiler was
scalding bim, and bis cnes for be'.p were
heart-rendering. In the darkness and in
the debru of the wreck, it was hard to
find anything, but tbe conductor finally
got a scoop shovel, and with tbat held
the steam away from Major's face; an
other of tbe men held bis bead out of
water. Tbe brakeman, who was riding
in tbe caboose, ran to Renton, three miles
away, and telegraphed to tbia city.
wrecking train was sent out immediately
Tbe engine could not be lifted out, and
every effort was made to extricate tbe
engineer. It was ouly after thirteen
hours' hard work tbat the irons holding
bis legs were broken and be was
taken out. During tbis terrible ordeal be
frequently begged to be killed to
save bim from tbe agony be was endur
ing. He is now in Providence hospital
aud it is expected tbat he will lecover.
He has a wifo and two children, and
came here a year and a half ago from
Pennsylvania.
Judge Koes' Decision.
Washington, Nov. 7. Tbe decision
rendered by Judge Ross in tbe Itala case
is a subject of serious annoyance to tbe
president, wbo sees in it great future
embarrassment. He considers tbat it
leaves our government in a position
wnere it can be called upon to pay
damages to every other government which
is defending itself against a civil insur
rection. If any. citizens of the Uuited
States see fit to furnish munitions of
war to the party in revolt, it is powerless
to prevent the transactions, and yet the
government may be called to account
for it afterwards. Tbe president is now
contemplating a recommendation in bis
message tbat tbe statutes be amended so
as to make it unlawful for private parties
to renaer such aid to an unrecognized
iaction at war with a power friendly to
ourselves. He would like, also, to have
an amendment to tbe scat ites. or a con
stitutioDal amendment, as might seem
best, clothing tbe executives with au
thority to check, by proclamation, any
preparations in apparent violation ot the
neutrality law. Tbe difficulties of tbe
administration witb tbe law left in its
present condition are enhanced by tbe
news from Brazi'.
THE CONDITIONS ARB DIFFERENT.
In that country, if the revolutionists
organize a strong movement, there will be
a demand undoubtedly for arms and am
munition, which this country can supply.
We are thus liable to bave cases like tbat
of the Ilata multiplying indefinitely.
All that tbe revolutionists will have to
do is to enlist in their service vessels and
ciews tbat are competent to carry on a
successful smuggling trade, and use them
as transports, being careful that they
shall receive tbeir wares in tbis country
so packed as to preclude tbe assumption
tbat tbey are intended for equipment of
the vessels themselves, and tbey can get
anything tbey want under Judge Ross'
decision. What adds to the complica
tion is that, whereas in tbe Chilian affair
our government was privately advised
from tbe outset that tbe constitutional
party bad a good chance of winning tbe
fight, in tbe case of Brazil all its in
formation is favorable to the president.
If, therefore, it should reverse tbe policy
it pursued in tbe liata incident, it feels
tbat it would be likely to be very sharply
called to account by the established
government in Brazil at the end of tbe
war.
First Time Since the War.
Brooklyn, Nov. 7. One hundred men
are working to-night at tbe navy yard on
tbe Chicago, Mamtonmah and Atlanta,
and passes were issued for as many more
to morrow. Tbis is said to be tbe first
time since the rebellion tbat workmen
will be emploved on a vessel in the navy
yard on Sunday. .
The Pope's Condition Crave.
Rome, Noy. 7. Tbe pope is suffering
from cerebral ansemia,due to his advanced
age. His condition is considered grave.
In conversation witb the Archbishop of
Kbeims, Cardinal Langeaieux, tbe holy
father recently said be thought the end
of bis life was close at hand.
The Situation in Chill.
Valparaiso, Nov. 7. There is a deci
dedly more friendly feeling here between
tbe Americans and Chilians. Tbe inten-
dente at Valparaiso has addressed an
official communication to Captain Schley,
of tbe United States warship Baitimore,
requesting tbat tbe sailors attached to
tbat ship wbo were wounded in the recent
riots, be permitted to appear before
Judge Foster and give tbeir testimony.
In case it is found impossioie or inexpe
dient to bave the men appear before tbe
judge in person, he is requested to fur
nish copies ot their depositions, wnicn
have already been taken by Captain
Scbley. The Baltimore's wounded men are
rapidly recovering from their hurts A
feeling of extreme- cordiality now seems
to exist between tbe Chilian authorities
and the United States naval officers, and
there are frequent interchanges of courte
sies. .
News of the Nation.
Washington, Nov, 7. After the navy
department secured the paymaster's safe
and other valuables from the wrecks of
tbe American men of-war lost y tbe hur
ricane at Alpa, Samoa, the wrecks them
selves were given to the Samoan govern
ment. Tbe gift proves to be a white ele
phant to King Malietoa. According to
information received here, there are no
appliances on tbe islands to raise tbe
wreckage, but after many inquiries a
San Francisco firm was found who
undertook to recover tbe parts of value
on condition tbey were to be sold in San
Francisco-' and tbe proceeds divided
equally between tbe wreckers and the
Sanioans. When tbe wreckage was ready
to ship to tbe United States, tbe collector
of customs at San Francisco held it must
pay dutv, and tbe treasury department
sustained tbat opinion. As a close com
putation shows tue duty imposed would
exceed tbe sura which can be realized
from the sale of tbe wreckage,' King
Malietoa is not particularly grateful for
tbe present made to bis people by tbe
United 8iates government.
ttroeery tetore jsuraed.
Rosbburg, Nov. 8. On Saturday
night at 12 o'clock J. A. Cox's general
merchandise 6tore at Oak Creek, twelve
miles east of Koseburg, was totally des
troyed by lire, origin unknown. Tbe
stock was valued at $2o00, on which
there was an insuranae of $1000 in tbe
Farmers' and Merchants' Insurance Com
pany, ot Albany, Or.
Another Mine Horror.
Nanticokk. Pa- Nov. 8. Late this
afternoon a terrible explosion of gas
occured in No. 1 shaft of tbe Susque
hanna Coal Company. The news quickly
spread and a large crowd gathered at tbe
scene, composed principally of relatives
and friends of tbe miners employed in
the mine. It was soon learned that, it
being Sunday, theie were but fourteen
men at work in tbe mine. Of tbis num
ber, six were instantly killed and several
others injured. The killed and injured
are:
William J. Williams, Henry R. Jones
Wm. Jonathan, John Arnott, Caleb Jeth-
ing, Thomas Lloyd. All except the last
named bave families.
Critically injured David Powell, David
A. Smith, Thomas Thomas, Henry Wil
liams, Howell Joinelski and two Poland
era, whose names have not been a seer
tained.
The accident was caused by tbe
explosion of a safety lamp, the flames of
which ignited the gas. The mine which
is one of tbe best operated by tbe
Susquehanna Coal Company, is not
seriously injured.
llarters of moment Occurring; In the
Kepublie or Mexico.
City of Mexico, Noy. 8. The Diaro
de Chihuahua says Mr. Sutton, United
States consul-general in Laredo, bas
arrived for the purpose, it is said,
of obtaining information concerning
tbe abuses committed upon American
citizens in Mexican territory in ennnee
tion with the Cartino Garcia affair.
President Diaz bas given orders to com
manders ot troops on tbe northeast fron
tier tbat po more persons be shot or pun
ished without previous trial by competent
autnoriues,- This has been done in view
ot the reports published in tbe United
States of arbitrary executions, which as a
rule, are exaggerations put in circulation
by tbe bandits or smuggling residents
there, beaded by escaped felons, like Gar
cia and ' Sandoval, wbo give out false
revolutionary news.
WANTS THE CONCESSION CANCELED.
Tbe El Tempo is editorially calling on
tbe government to cancel tbe concession
made to Americans to establish a fishing
station at Alocrants island, as it alleges
tbis is a plan of Blaine's to get possession
ol tbe island as a coaling station. Tbe
El Tempo is very anti-American,, and
views the United States as an enemy ot
Catholicism.
President Diaz has declared forfeited
concessions for the exportation of sulphur
in tbe central part of Lower California.
granted to Luis Hellero. Tbe $7,000
guarantee deposit becomes a part of the
public fund.
Bloody Week In San sTranelsco.
San Francisco, Nov. 8. The receiving
hospital is crowded with victims of yes
terday's shooting. Charles Vest, wbo
shot bis wife and himself yesterday, is
apparently recovering. He now claims
to be ignorant of bis crime, and seems to
be trying to create the impression of in
sanity. Mrs. Vest still lives, but tbe
chances arc against ber recovery. Co wel I,
wbo was shot by tbe Chinaman, is still
unconscious. Tbe surgeons say tbat it
will be almost a miracle if he recovers.
Now it appears tbat tbe Chinaman who
did tbe shooting speaks English well
and is not a recent arrival. Officer
Gillen, bis other victim, will be buried oa
Tuesday. The week closing Saturday
was tbe bloodiest here for a long time:
In all there were ten attempts at suicide,
three of which proved fatal, and five per
sons were murdered, one being horribly
butchered. Shoal d Mrs. Vest and Cowell
die, as is probable, the number will be
increased to seven.
A Clan-na-ttael Scare.
Dublin, Nov. 9. The police appear to
be acting on special information to the
effect tbat the Clan na-Gael in America
is again active, and that the members of
that society bave prepared for a resump
tion of tbe physical force policy. What
ever may be the ground for sudden and
evident excess of vigilance on the part"
of Castle, there it no doubt tbat tbe po

It is acknowledgel by leading home
rulers tbat tbe "hillside," or physical
force, doctrine has a powerful following
in Ireland. But a few days ago John
Dillon said in substance tbat tbe hillside
itb bim was secondary to the present
constitutional agitation ; that before tak
ing to tbe hillside be believed in giving
tbe liberals a chance to show what tbey
would do for borne rule. Dillon, it is
argued, would not bave spoken in tbis
way .it be had not appreciated tbe
treugtb of tbe hillside sentiment. A
physical force movement, involving tbe
employment of troops to suppress it, is
what tbe tones are anxious for. It is
understood, however, here that home-rule
leaders of eitber faction bave little or no
influence over tbe Clan-na Gael, and
nobody would be surprised at some sig
nal and memorable act of violence by tbe
emissaries of tbat section.
Convicts and miners.
Nabhvtllb, Tenn, Nov. 9. Tbe situa
tion ot affairs in Tennessee is becoming
alarming. . It bas but one equal in tbe
history of America, and that was when
Carolina attempted to secede from tbe
United States. It bas been stated offi
cially that the rebellion of the miners, so
far as estimated, has damaged the com
mercial standing of East Tennessee to an
amount of millions of dollars. The two
town companies one with $50,000,000
capital, located af Bristol; tbe other with
$100,000,000, located at Elizabetbtown
bave refused to enter the state, claiming
tbat the state, not being able to protect
its own interests, cannot protect tbe
interests of capital. Suspicious commu
nication is being beld between tbe East
Tennessee miuers and the Shiners of Ken
tucky, Alabama and Virginia. Tbe hardy
mountaineers wbo released tbe convicts
bave sworn tbat the governor shall not re
build tbe stockades, and tbat it be sends
tbe convicts back to the Bnceville and
Coal Creek mines, tbey will be butchered
cold blood. Sheriff Rutherford, of
Anderson county, wbo was notified by
Governor Buchanan yesterday that if be
could not sustain order and protect tbe
people tbat bis resignation would be re
quested, received a notice to day of two
death beads witb grinning skulls and
bones, wbicb were marked on tbe paper
and under tbis significant message:
Tell your governor, tbat it be sends
tbe convicts back again we will kill tbem
one by one. We mean business.
. THK MINERS tJOMMITTEB.
The law is now openly defied. There
can be nothing but blood sbed if tbe gov
ernor really intends to rebuild tbe stock
ades. Governor . Buchanan means dusi
ness too. He bas bad fifty new Gatling
gans and thousands of small arms pur
chased. Tbe state bas paid out to date
$16,800 for tbe capture of convicts, and
tbe lessees steadily refuse to keep tbeir
part of tbe contract.

the cows run at large in the Dalit City aud

Oregon City Enterprtse: Samuel Kennedy
and family formerly lived on the farm near

ing, and, supposing it to be caused by the
bear, he shot. It wat bit brother Jeremiah
and tbe shot was fatal almost instantane
ously. The Yakima Herald is authority for the
statement tht tbe San Jose scale had made
its appearance in the orchard of Dou Morris
in the Ahtanum valley. Mr. Morris thinks
tbe scale came from boxes which he had
nnder an apple tree in which California
fruits had been packed. This pest it lure
death to all kinds of trees, and tbe orchard-
istt of Kittitas county should be very care
ful tbat the scale does not enter their

Palouse News: E. A. LtDow comet to the

aay has never been equalled even in the fer
tile Palouse country. Hit entire crop aver
aged seventy-three bushels to tbe acre. An
acre and a half ot the big field bad previ
ously been fenced off for a bog pasture, and
the fence is still standing, it was upon mis
little patch that tbe world-beating record
wat made. The acre and a half yielded by
accurate measurement 216 bushels to tbe
acre. The oats were of the White Russian
variety. This putt Pullman's big yield of
wheat in the shade.
Tbe Newport Times is authority for the
statement that there has been a little quiet
conciliation between CoL. T. E. Hogg and
Mr. Blair and arrangements are oa foot to
pnth tbe Oregon Pacific road in the near

tions working in harmony. The pre?eot
outlook for the Oregon Pacific it better than
ever before and more- confidence it felt and
ahown all along the line than hat ever been
seen in the past. It is said Col.. Hogg is to
be president and Mr. iilair is to name tbe
manager. Uur citizens are more conndent
that prosperity it at our very door new

Tbe Hood River Glacier says tbat there it
a rumor, that seems to have general cred
ence, that tbe depot is to be moved in tbe
near future to tome point near the section
house, and it is probable that thit will be
done. Tbe sills and underworks of the
building are rotten and a new foundation it
absolutely necessary. The principle reasons
for making tbia change are that the present
location in the middle of the only sand
patch in this neighborhood conveys a bad
impression to new-comers, and the other
that the level ground near the proposed new
lite gives ample room for tide tracks, and
will afford ample accommodation for loading
and unloading can. : -
