The Times-Mountaineer !
SATURDAY NOVEMBER 14, 1891
AFTERMATH.
Gov. Pennoyer positively asserts
that he will call no special session of
the legislature for the purpose of
securing an appropriation for a port
age railway on the Oregon side, and
this will definitely pettle the matter.
When the governor takes a position
ho is not easily moved, and it will be
a waste of space for the Times-Moun
taineer and other papers in Eastern
Oregon to urge the question any
further. It is sensible, at the feast,
to bear the inevitable with as good
grace as possible, Of course very
many of our Democratic cotemporaries
will applaud the executive, and will
defend the position he has taken; but
this will not change the fact that an
Oreeon" Dortace could be built next
summer, and enough saved to th pro
ducera that season and the following
one before relief could be received
by any action taken at the regular ses
sion in 1893 to have paid the ex
penses of construction. For some
Tears past we have known Mr. Fen-
noyer to be in favor of a portage road
as the means of overcoming the ob-
structions to navigation in the Coluoi-
bia above this city instead of a ship
railway, and, when the question was
agitated of the state doing the work
instead of the dilatory Locks method
being pursued by the government, we
apprehended no difficalty in secur-
iug his uqualified endorsement; but
the sequel causes us to change our
opinion in this regard. Mr. Pennoyer
believes that the Democratic congress
will order the construction at the
coming session, and pleads this as an
excuse for not incurring the expense
of an extra session. If our citizens
bad the least confidence in the govern
ment pressing the work to an early
completion, they would be satisfied to
excercise the greatest degree of pa
tience; but for over fourteen years
they have anxiously awaited the com
pletion of the locks at the Cascades,
and another fourteen will probably
elapse before any craft on the middle
river will reach seaooara wunous
breaking cargo. If the same vexatious
delay has to be experinced before a
railway will transport the produce of
Eastern Oregon, without paying ex
a. a V . I A
orbitant toll to a monopoly, around
the rapids east of The Dalles, our peo
pie will become very weary aud de
spondent. When, at the last election,
Mr. Sylvester Pennoyer, a democratic
candidate, received dUUU majority ana
the Republican congressman iu.uuu
majority, it was considered
popularity was largely due to the fact
that electors conridered him in harmony
with the best interests or. an pontons
of the state; but in this instance,
changing a scriptural text, the people
of Eastern Oregon have asked him for
bread and he has given them a stone.
It would be something strange it a
month passed without some indication
of a revolution among the Spanish-
Americans on this continent. The
western hemisphere with the excep
tion of Canada and two or three little
countries - in' South America and the
West Indies pays no allegiance to a
crowned monarch. Republic are the
leading governments, and, with all the
' freedom
mese enjoy, seems iinpua-
sible for them to maintain equal rights
without, a .periodical attempt every
month of to two change the form of
the existing governing policy. These
wild vagaries of our southern neigh
bors almost make us lose confidence
in the Latin races for self-government
With the Anglo-Saxon individual
freedom has been the birthright of a
hundred ancestors, and they permit no
infringement on these perogativea
Wherever they settle the home is held
sacred, and subservience to law, with
constitutional rights protected, is
secondary only to religious principles.
Such elements have made the United
States what it is to-day, and nerved
our forefathers to wage the long and
successful war with the most power
ful nation in the world in the latter
part of the last century. The Latin
races have no such traditions to-spur
them to action, and, while the Anglo-
Saxons, from king or queen, president
or governor, parliament or congress,
idown to the town meeting or secret
society, demand a proper observance
of the constitutional rights of a mi
nority if this consists only of a single
individual, the southern races have no
such precedents to follow. They are
either the willing slaves of the filing
sovereign, or, in their turn, attempt to
inaugurate the worst of despotisms
Anarchy, and overthrow by the relent
less fury of mobs any established form
of government or social organizations,
That the Republican party still
Jeads in national affairs is fully proved
Jbr its forward movement in favor of
.reciprocity with some countries.
Where no advantange could be gained
br niacin? a duty on goods, it is
simply an advisable business policy to
-trade on equal terms, and this the Re
publican party has done. Of course,
this would be suicidal with some nap
lions, as, for instance,' with England
in manufactured articlee. She could
produce them so much cheaper than
America, that in a little while she
wauld throttle and kill .our home in
dustries. Discrimination should be
aaed in this matter as in all subjects
which reoaire a decision as to which
js mo'st beneficial of different policies.
That the Republican party will ex
ercise wise discretion .in adopting
either reciprocity or protection with
nations no one can doubt, and the re- Q
.., . - i 1 1 i-l ,.... t I
-suit will be to the betterment of our
.industries.
.Governor Pennoyer has issued his
thanksgiving proclamation, that Thurs
day. .Nov. 26th, he set apart for the

to Almighty God for the blessings re
ceived. This year praise can be ren
dered with good grace in this portion
of the world; bat how is it in Russia,
or how was it in Eastern Ore
gon two years ago? Does the most
devout Christian believe thai the great
ruler of the universe, in an inscrutable
providence, has deemed it just and
proper in this year of our Lord to
cause thousands to die of starvation in
the dominion of the Czar, and by the
shrinkage in the harvests of Russia to
give our whe&t-growers a higher price
for grain than has been realized for
years? If he does, it is right that he
should bow the knee with reverence
on the day set apart for that purpose,
and thank the all-wise and just God
for this discrimination in his favor.
If he does not, he would perform a
far more commendable act by giving a
generous portion of the bountiful re
turns from his crops to help feed the
starving women and children in .that
far-away country.
With the cheap rates to seaboard
from this city, if we could furnish
means of transportation from the in
terior, The Dalles would be the largest
shipping ' point in Eastern Oregon,
The day of wagon roads has passed,
and railroads and river craft must do
the carrying trade of the future. It
is within the range of possibility for
I our citizens to originate one or more
narrow gauge roads into the adjoining
I counties, and we have confidence that
as soon as work was begun in earnest
foreign capital would eagerly invest in
the enterprise. . The wheat belt that
such roads would make tributary to
this point would be the richest in the
north vest, and would furnish ample
returns to investors.
For long years the Times-Moon
taineer has advocated opposition on
the middle river, and this season it is
highly pleased to see its views carried
into practical operation. J. be success
which has attended this project are
such as this paper told our citizen over
ten years ago, and, although not of
boastful nature, the editor can but
feel gratified that his opinions on this
subject, when the community were
perfectlv apathetic, have proven true
in every instance. It is' only one of
the many cases in which this paper
has led the community in projects
which have tended -to the financial
betterment of the people.
We see by the Puget Sound papers
they are still antagonistic towards the
commerce ot the uoiumoia, an
de8Cribetne entrance as unsafe for any
.going vessel. The fact is, the dif-
ficni,ie8 in connection with the bar
have been removed, and the river is as
goodharbor as any on the coast. The

Columbia river, and this will be re

The Behring sea case, in which the
right of fishing will be determined, is
being heard before the U. S. supreme
court, and soon a decision will be ren
dered in which the rights ot all parties
will be adjudicated. This will be
welcomed bv all interested, as seal-
oatchin? in this nortnel 8ea has in-
, . tj.: gtate8 conftider-
able trouble during the past few years,
and while the government should not
allow its rights to be infringed, it
should not attempt to claim jurisdic
tion where it has none.
There is great activity manifested
in the United States navy yards, and
the government appears to be thor-
oughly aroused to the fact that
it
should be prepared for any emergency.
It is not expected that the trouble
with Chili will result in war; but it is
well to be able to meet any armed
force these hot headed Spanish Amen
cans may send against the vessels now
in South-American waters. Often
war is averted by a nation shoving
that an oyer! act will find it alert and
active.
Mr. Henry Villard has again raised
the hopes of Portland for more rail
roads; but these will be nipped in the
bud by the cruel frost of disappoint
ment. Theie was a time when Mr.
Yillard might fcaya done great things
for Portland; but thy time has
passed, and bar only salvation now is
man open river. J. be Northern pa
cific is wedded to the Sound, and Yil
land or any other railroad potentate is
not going to spend money to benefit
any town on the Columbia river.
The East Orsgonian says: "Buck
leyism is at last dead in $an Francisco,
and our heart overflows with gratitude
thereat. Democracy annot be true
and iust to the people when it is in
the hands of such parasites and thieves
as Buckley. He was a politician, a
partizan; he was not a Democrat."
Bro. Jackson, how about Tammanyism
in New York City f We believe you
felt joyful over the eleptjpri of Flower
by 45,000.
The dream of the northwest is still
of railroads, like it was twenty years
ago. With the exceptions of a few
roads to the Ulterior from central
points, this portion of tfcfi country
has sufficient railroads for develop- J
ment, and if attention was directed to
improving the navigation of rivers,
irrigating ditches or artesian wells,
advancement would take more
rapid strides.
Tbe next state to decide on the
issues now agitating the nation will be

MORALITY.
Editors are not given to much
moralizing, for they havo too much to
occupy their- time in practical, every
day life to theorize. Occasionally,
one of these hard brain-workers steps
over the line, and the editor of the
West, published at Florence, thus
truthfully comments in the following
language on existing inconsistencies
"When we go about our big cities and
see the great hospitals, infirmaries.
homes for the sick and needy, we con
gratulate ourselves that the world is
not so bad after all; pity is not dead
she is alive and she is munificent.
lint the same afternoon perhaps we
are in a drawing room where charac
ters are dissected with pitiless severity,
and reputations torn to shreds without
the slightest symtoms of remorse or
misgiving. Then we say pity is dead.
or At least she has spread her white
wings and flown back to heaven. Yet
the hospitals remain and will be sup
ported as liberally as before, and kind
ly men and women will 'take deep and
real interest in their management, and
will put themselves to real trouble
to carry brightness and comfort into
the wards where pain and anxiety are
gathered. It is ail a mystery we then
say. Human haired is contradiction,
a paradox. This will seem to some an
easy explanation; it is only a truism,
The contradiction is plain enough; it
is entirely startling that out of the
same fountain should go forth sweet
water and bitter; and that the briar
should yield figs. It is a puzzling
thing that the people who seem to feel,
and do feel keenly and tenderly for
suffering bodies of their fellow creat
ures, should be so ruthless over their
characters, and should let some rash or
wicked word blast a brother's fair
fame."
If . we desire to know sfcjon-pure
Democracy, the real genuine article
without the least alloy, we always con
sult the columns of the Albany Demo
crat, and this is what it says after the
recent election: "The elections have
left the Democrats in a very serene
state of mind so far as the presidential
contest is concerned. The great con
test will be made in Iowa, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Indiana, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Con
necticut and New York." Republi
cans will be satisfied if Democracy
rests its hopes of success on these
states, for, with the possible exceptions
of New York and Connecticut, these
will be as solid for the party of pro
tection and honest money as they were
m loeS. It is strange that our co-
temporary did not mention any south
ern state or even Ohio. Perhaps it
may consider that there is no possibil
ity of any change south of Mason and
Dixon's line, and " that the buckeye
state is given over to its Republican
heresies. We believe that next Nov
ember will surprise our sanguine
brother, and after the election he will
realize the fact that protectionists and
advocates of honest money are gain
ing instead of losing ground in the
United States.
The Democrats' are realizing the
fact since the election of last week
that little hope can be placed on any
third party, and the Portland Daily
Dispatch says:
The troth has again been made manifest
that this country, great and broad and
progressive as it is, is not powerful
enough to support more than two great po
litical parties at one and the same time.
The third party vote at the recent elections
scarcely created a ripple on the surface of
the political bonzon.
There is no denying the fact tfiat
during the presidential campaign next
year both parties must go before the
people on national issues, and Pemo
orats will be forced to endorse pro-r
tection or free trade, uplioiited coinage
of silver oi simply sufficient, on a gold
basis, to supply the wants of trade.
There is no dodging these questions,
and electors will demand of both par
ties no equivocation regarding the
tariff or currency. The result in Ohio,
where the national issues formed the
basis of the last political contest, will
encourage Republicans to stand solid
ly for protection and honest money,
and success will crown their efforts.
The only enterprise now needed to
make The Dalles fhe second city in
the state is cheap means of transpor
tation with the interior. If one
or more narrow gauge, roads were
inaugurated to adjoining counties
The Dalles would be the second
city in the state. The Regulator has
accomplished ,ifa object, and our cap
italists should be thoroughly aroused
to the advantages of their situation.
We are fully conyiugad that if the
present tid6 in the affairs of business
is taken at the flood the regu't will be
that this city will have 10,000 or 15,
.000 population in the next four or five
years; if not, it will settle down to its
old standard and be knp n as the old
moss-back town of Oregon. This is
stated with the idea to stimulate en
terprise, for the Tjj(E8-MopjrT4JirEB
has no interests except in the growth
and prosperity of the city in which it
is published.
The Astoria papers are alive to the
interests of that community, and fully
realize that Portland is jealous because
any effort to open tbe Columbia river
may benefit Astor5a more than tbe
metropolis. This is what the Astorian
saysf - .
The little Portland Dispatch, with its
mouth full of political pap,' hastily shoves
its thirty pieces of silver into bis hip potkej
and joins with the Oregonian and its tail
piece in trying to get in a lick at Astoria.
Tbe only bond of coherence io that outfit is
a- mutual fear of being found out. Tbey
are so miserably conscious of their own
identity, and the consciousness is so over
whelmingly mortifying to them tjtjat it is
painful to them to see a paper whose utter
ances are its own.
" - " t
The hypocrite is most d,etesUbJe in
all walks of Jife. He who for a paltry
salary will belie iumself and dqny j
everything he has ever advocated j
only fit to be classed with traitors and
sycophants, and merits the contempt
of the community in which he lives.
When a fellow we will not call him
a man a year ago said the trouble in
this city was only a fight between
banks, (as he often expressed himself
to ns) and, afterwards, throws mud
and slime on the only persons who
befriended him in any emergency.
there is no term in the English lan
guage to express the public contempt
for him. For eleven years the Times
Mountaineek has pursued a consistent
course, and, if it lives or dies, it will
always be honest and conscientious in
all matters pertaining to the best in
terests cf the community.
The Telephone Register, of McMinn
ville, an esteemed Democratic ex
change, warninly says regarding the
recent election:
While the victory in the east at the late
elections, belongs to the Democratic party,
it should be remembered that too much
confidence is not good for victors. While
almost defeated, the Republican party still
has elements of strength in its cherished
trusts fostered by its great tariff. It also
controls the offices of the country.and when
properly handled these contribute millions
to the working fund. Tbe Democrats have
plenty to do before 1892 and they had bet
ter be op and doing.
It is very evident that the Repub
lican party is far from being dead, and
in 1892 there will be the liveliest
fight for supremacy that has been ex
perinced for a great number of cam
paigns. The party relies on the good
sense of the people more than on
"cherished trusts." In Ohio, the peo
ple voted on national issues, and the
result was an overwhelming victory
for McKinley, protection and honest
money. The same may be expected
from the whole country next year.
An anarchist meeting in Chicago
was effectually quelled by the police
last evening, and 254 are under arrest.
Fortunately no one was killed, or
seriously injured. There can be no
question that the United States is a
free country, but freedom does not
signify a right in every one one to act
on even talk as he thinks in harmony
with his conscience. In monarchial
countries restriction is placed upon
individual speech, and to insure pro
tection to life and property and tbe
supremacy of law the same restraint
must be placed on citizens in a repub
lic Taking the world with its differ
ent forms of government, and any
man who is law-abiding, and has a
proper respect for the rights of his
neighbor, can enjoy all the freedom he
desires in almost any country. '
The robbers who held up tbe Mil
waukee St St. Paul railroad in Wis
consin yesterday made a clean $100,
000, and there were only six or seven
engaged in the affair. This is very
encouraging to the "profession"(?) and
no doubt other trains will be over
hauled in quick succession. In this
age of the world any such lucrative
vocation will find many followers. It
pays better than law, medicine or
literature, although it is not at all
respectable and very hazardous. No
accident policy would hold good if the
emergency caused loss or injury to
limb, and it is very questionable if
life insurance companies would be
prompt to pay beneficiaries if death
resulted.
Tammany has now the entire charge
of Democratic affairs. The Demo
cratic Age-Herald, of Alabama, sums
it. up as follows:
Flower's success in tbe country districts
baa forged him to the front as the logical
outcome of tbe conflicting ambitious of
Cleveland and Hill. That New York must
decide. If the Democrats there present him
the man who can best carry that state
tbe Pemocrats of the south will be with
them. If tbe New York Democrats say
that Cleveland is not the man, tbat very
utterance will make him an impossibility,
for hope without New York is folly."
Grover Cleveland and Governor
Hill want "no Flowers" at tbe Dem
ocratic political conyention in 1892-
but they may need them.

The Sews l Alarming.
London, Nov. 10. 7 p. m.--- A dispatch
just receivd from Pe.-nambuco brings lur
tber alarming intelligence regarding tbe
situation of affairs in Brazil. There is no
doubt tbe situation of affairs in Brazil,
arising out of tbe assumption of dicta
torial powers by tbe late president of tbe
repnblic, Marshal Deodora da Fonseca, is
rapidly approacbiog a point where
resort will be oecessary to establish tbe
position of the dictator. The dispatches
ot yesterday showed there was a feeling
of discontent prevailing everywhere
throughout Brazil. The Republicans see
in this last move ot Da Fonseca an at
tempt to override tbe autboritv vested io
him by the constitution. So strong has
tbe opposition to Da Fonseca grown that
yesterday it whs announced the important
province of Rio Grande do Sui had de
clared its independence. A dispatch just
received shows steps will have to be im
mediately taken to prevent, if possible,
disintegration of the republic. Tbe
province of Grando Para has followed the
example set by Kio Grande do Sul, and
to-day declared for independence. Gran
do Para is one of the most important
provinces in Brazil. Tbe independence
movement will prooably begfollowed by
a similar declaration by the province ot
Bahia. Dictator Fonseca is moving rap
idly to suppress those attempts so set in
separate governments, and has ordered a
warship to proceed without delay to Kio
do Sul, to take such action as is necessary
to prevent the provincial authorities from
carrying tbe declaration of independence
into effect. It behooves him to move with
alacrity, for already a man bas been
named in connection with the contem
plated presidency of the province. He is
Silvence Matintz, who during the last
revolution was banished from tbe
country. He afterwards was allowed to
return. Silvence Martinez, without
doubt, possesses greater political In
fluence that any other man in tbe prov

Calcutta, Nov. 10. Further details
regarding the cyclone, which passsed
oyer ibid part of India Mouday of last
week, shows tbe damage done was very
extensive. Beside tbe loss ot seventy
seven lives, occasioned by the sinking of
the Indian government steamer Enter
prise, which foundered at" Andaman isl
ands, and the killing of sixty convicts,
there baa no doubt been a large loss of
life at other places along tbe coast
Advices from various parts of Crisua, a
province in Bengal, state tbe cyclone
passed over that section of country and
did great damage. Tbe cyclone cleared
a path through the forests, uprooting
gigantic trees and hurling tbein aside as
tbongh they were reeds. No hoose could
stand tbe terrible energy of tbe gale, ajd
every dwelling or other struct ore within
the path of the cyclone was either swept
from its foundation or turned over. Tbe
wind also did much damage below Cal
cutta. The city is situated on tbe east
bank of tbe Hoogly river, the westeru
moil branch of tbe Ganges. The Hoogly
river empties into tbo Bay of Bengal'
through a number of mouths. A large
number of vessels were at anchor off tbe
month ol tbe Hoogly river in such a posi
tion that when the gale suddenly burst it
was impossible to save many of them.
Numbers dragged their anchors and were
carried ashore, and others were damaged
by tbe pounding received from tbe enor
raous seas which accompanied the storm.
No estimate can yet be made of the total
loss of lite, but it will be very large.

gK0re safety, bnt the Mnrairi. hi Wife and
perished. At Sandgate,-the ship
BenvenuK was wrecked, nd her crew took
to tbe rigging. An attempt was made
by lifVsaiers to rescue tbem, but the sea
was too bigb. Another vessel is reported
asbore close to where the Benvenus is.
A later report frcm Saodgate says all
bope of saving the crew of tbe Benvenus
is abandoned. Tbe bodies of several vie
tims have been cast upon the beach.
A body of troops has been sent to aid
tbe lileaavers along Sangate sect ion of the
coast in their efforts to render assistance
to the distressed vessels and their crews.
A telegram has been received from tbe
Scilly islands stating that a schooner has
been wrecked there. Tbe crew was saved.
A vessel named the Paramount was sunk
off Lowestoft, in Suffold, aud all hands
on boar. I except two sailors were drowned.
In London the storm has done sonsider
able damage to buildings in course of
erection. A dispatch received from
St. Leonard's, a well known watering
place in Sussex, announced that tbe bark
Amor bas stranded near that town. The
crew took to the ngg ng, where they are
now. All attempts to rescue tbem being
tutile, tbe only hope for tbe wrecked
sailors is tbat the storm may subsidj be
foro tbey die of exhaustion. Interrup
tion of telegraph service is general
throughout southwest England.
It Looks Like a III ufr.
Washington, Nov. 11 An official well
versed in naval and state department af
fairs siys: -"It is only within tbe last
two days that a settled programme has
been determined upon. It is substanti
ally this: A demand bas already been
made on Chili for explanation of the
cruiser Baltimore tragedy. Within
shirt time a secon i aemaod will be made
The second demand will recite tbat the
first one has not met with the prompt ac
tion which the Uotted Slates expected
If Chili fails to act, tbe final stroke of the
programme will be made. Fleets of the
United States will meet in the harbor oi
Valparaiso. Tbe purpose is to make
this demonstration un presented in the
naval history of the United States
Every available warship which floats the
United States flag will take part io
the movements For the time being the
squadrons wnicn maneuver in foreign
ports will be broken up and absorbed in
tbe main rendezvous at Valparaiso. The
new ship and those wbicb are being le-
puired in the navy-yards vill be centered
in Chilian waters. It is believed th
mere presence ot this naval will be suffi
cient to force the Chilians into aa imme
diate response. If it is not, it will then
be for congress to decide upon the future
course, and it need be, iss te a formal
declaration of war. So far as the execu
tive and naval authorities can act, the
massing of tbe fleet belore Valparaiso
will express their disapproval of Chiifs
course. It is tbe desire to prepare for
this rendezvous which causes tbe present
rusn in the navy -yards."
Tbe California Kosses.
San Fbancico, Nov. 12 Tbe joint in-
dicement by the grand jury against Buck
ley and Baincy on Tuesday, charging
tbem with bribery, is tbe universal sub
ject of conversation to-day about the city
nail and the city generally. The grand
jurrors are generally complimented, and
it is iraakiy admitted tbat tbey have
been in earnest in their work. Rainey's
present whereabouts is not definite.
After the sheriff returns tbe bench war
rant, which be will probably do to-mor
row, the district attorney will have to
write to tbe governor, stating tbe facts of
the case, enclosing certified copies of tbe
indictments, tbe bench warrants, tbe re
turns made thereon, depositions taken
before tbe grand jury, etc., acd cite the
extradition laws between the United
States and Great Britain pertaining to
persons wanted lor lelon?. Tbe govern
or will then inform tbe state department
at Washington requesting them to take
tbe necessary steps to secure tbe surren
der of tbe culpiits by tbe Dominion gov
ernment. If Buckley and Rainey can
only be brought within the reach of Cal
ifornia law, it is generally supposed that
this first indictment will be only one of
tne many indictments tbat will be found
against them for tbe many jobs tbat tbey
nave tauen a conspicuous part in.
The Jtrftjiiilan 9ini8trr.
. Washington, Nov. 11. The Brazilian
minister to day received an unofficial dis
patch to tbe effect it was reported in Rio
tbat tbe state of Rio Grande do Sul bad
seceded. In tbe absence of contradictory
statement from bis government the min
ister believes tbe province bas revolted.
He said to-night he did not think there
was any cbance of the revolt extending
to tbe other states, tbat tbe government
was as stable as ours, and that there need
be no feais of a general revolution. Tbe
disaffection in Rio Grande do Sol, be
said, was probably due to members of
the dissolved congress, representing tbat
part of the-couotry, wbo endeavored to
cause dissenions because of the dissolu
tion of congress. Tbe minister said the
financial condition of tbe republic was
firm, and tbero is really nothing to cause
a revolution.
Arrested Tor an Old Harder.
WiiKESRARBB, Pa., Nov. 11 Heury
Higgios and Joseph Evans, together with
their wives, were arrested this afternoou
charged with tbe murder, in 1886, of the
two old farmers named Kessler. Tbe
prisoners were lodged in jail, where tbey
were visited by reporters and others, but
tbey absolutely refused to talk of the
murder or of their arrest. Tbe arrests
are considered as a good piece of detec
tive work and it is thought tbat tbe right
parties have been apprehended. There
is great rejoicing oyer tbe arrests among
the farmers, who have long declared that
tuey might meet with a fate similar to
tbe Kessiers, as long aa the nfuroerers
were at large. AU of tbe prisoners have
bad reputations.
The Work of Criminals.
Milwaukee, Nov. 11. A gang
masked men stopped the Chicago, Mil
wankee & St. Paul north-bound passen
ger train near Western Union junction at
3:30 this rooming, aided by two coinfed
erates on tbe train. Tbe express car was
attacked, and it is reported tbat tbe
messenger made a desperate resistance,
but was overpowered. A large amount ot
money was taken from tbe express safe.
Tbe wires are in bad condition because
of tbe storm and particulars are meagre.
Ine passengers were not molested.
private dispatch says tbat the express-car
was blown open with a djnapite bomb
Anolftrr Murder n Man Francises
San Francisco, Nov 10. Tbe seventh
murder io this city since tbe 1st of tbe
month has occurred this morning. About
5:0 shots were beard in Chinatown, and
Slog Sue was found lying dead ip tbe
middle of on alley, baviny been shot
twice. He was lndentined by a bank
book, wbicb showed $750 to bis credit io
tbe San Francisco Saving Union. No
clue tn tbe murderer vet. The murder is
undoubtedly tbe continuation of the
highbinder war.
Heavy Fire at Mt. Helen's
St. Heleh's, Qr.? Nov. 11. At 4:30
this morpjng the barn of Conpell BroB.,
of Portland, on Deer island, was totally
destroyed by fire. The baro contained
seventy-three cows and ten horses, includ
ing several valuable racers, and 123 tons
of bay. Loss on property, $7200; insur
ance, $2000. Only two horses and one
cow were saved. Tbe fire is believed to
bays been incendiary.
The Famous H olladar Claim.
WABHOtoToif, Nov. JSHTbe famous
claim of Ben Holladay against tbe United
States for property taken and destroyed
by Indians during the overland mail ser
vice from the MUsouri river to the Sac
ramento, bids lair to be settled at an ,
early day. By an act of cc ogress, passed
last session, this claim was retried to tl e
court of claims for adjudicat.ou. Within
the past few days tbe preliminaries have
been arranged and it has been agreed, in
view of tbe importance of tbe question at
issue, to give this claim precedence, so
tba it is now expected tbe cast will be
called up shortly. While tbe claim ag
gregates nearly $1,000,000 it is thought,
however, that the courts, under the pro
visions of tbe act conlerriug jurisdiction,
will not be able" to give a judgmi-nt for
more tbtin $400,000, aud this turn, it is
believed, will ultimately be divided
among the heirs. Robert'Uoward, lately
assistant attorney general, reproseuts tbe
claimants. The present favorab e condi
tion ot this claim is largely due to the
labors of General 'rfufus loalis, who, as
the executor of tbe late Mrs. Holladay,
has been unremitting iu bis efforts to se
cure its payment.
Killed by a JT ail ire.
Paso Roblks, Cal , Nov. 12 Yester
day afternoon A. M Sherwood met Judge
John Kelsliaw upon tbe streets and in
quired about the charge tbat bad been
examined, before Kelsliaw and a jury, in
which Sherwood was defendeut, thejury
having disagreed. Judge Eelshaw told
him he aid not know that it all lay with
tbe prosecuting witnesses, but tint he
hoped the jury would be dismissed
Sherwood said he hoped not, as be wanted
to be tried and acquitted- ne tt.en com
menced to call the judge numes and said
that be had endeavored to rake up cases
agniniit him. Kelsliaw denied the charge,
ana one word Drought on another until
bherwood struck Kelsbaw with a screw
driver, which he had in his band, and
Kelsbaw backed off aud attempted to get
away but Slierwood caught bold of hnn.
Kelshaw tbeo drew a rtvolver and shot
Sherwood three times, one ball entering
tne body near the heart. The combat
ants struggled for a lew minutes before
Sherwood loosened his grasp and fell.
Popular opiaion is tbat Kelshaw acted
in gelf defense.
The Kalian's Crnell)-.
Constantinople, Nov. 12 The sultan
has ordered tbe strengthening of the mil
itary forces iu Tripoli, the only important
African province still acknowledging tbe
actual sovereignty of the porte. Tbe
Tripolitaus have been considerably
shaken in their allegiance by the reuorts
of the prosperity of Tunis under English
rule, and the symptoms of discontent
have of late become alarming to tbe
tyrannical pasha. This officer has en
dcavered to put down discontent by tbe
innicuon or onroarous punidhments, and
it is no uncoinmnD sight in tbe capital to
see oan a uczen poor wretcnes impaled in
the market place. These horrors have
only served to excite 'the popular feeling
in a still higher degree. Turkish rule is
in real danger, and the appearances of a
Jfreccb fleet would doubtless be followed
oy an overwhelming insurrection against
tne sultan s authority.
The editor of a Democratic news
paper wisely lifts his brows and re
marks, "Will President Harrison in
bia message, iu view of tbe recunt
elections, stake all on Ohio and tbe
McKinley idea, or will he hedge on
the tariff for the rest of the country?"
ihere is small reason for hedging.
Everywhere that national issues were
boldly made tho elections show Re
publican gains. This was true in Ohio
and Pennsylvania and Kansas and
Nebraska, and nothing saved New
York to the Democracy but the local
issues and tbe full pocket-book.
