Where Are The Crew T
Yaqtjina, Or., Dec. 11. The Oregon
Development Company's steamship Willa
mette Valley arrived here this morning,
having in tow the steam sbooner Maggie
Boss, Captwin George Paton, of the
Willamette Valley, reports that on the 10th
met., thirty-two miles south ot Yoqmoa
and ten miles west of shore, at 1 o'eluck
p. m., be sighted what appeared to be a
steamer drifting: with the wind. He
lowered a boat and went aboard and found
it was the Magaie Ross, bound for San
Francisco from Coos bay. The body of
a dead seaman was found on the deck
There was no sign of anv of the rest of
the crew. The steamei's boats were gone
and it is not known whether the vessel
was abandoned by the crew or whether
they were washed oyerboard during the
recent gale. The Maggie Boss was
loaded with lumber and sailed from Coos
bav last Monday. All her deckload of
lumber was gone when she was found
together with her smokestack and part of
her cabin, one was a most ailapiaatea-
looking vessel- when she was towed in
this morning, and shows the evidence of
having received some bard knocks by
the storm. It is not known whether the
Maggie Boss carried any passengers or
not, or what was the number of her crew.
Tbeie were marks of violence on the
body of the sailor found, and nothing to
indicate bow lie bad come to nis aeatn
A hurried examination of tbe schooner
this morning seemed to show ber bull
was all .right, and all the damage she
sustained was confined to ber upper
orks.
A Phenomenon Observed on the Twin
(sisters.
"Whatcom, Wash., Dec. 11. One of
the Twin Sisters, north of Mount Baker,
was observed at 11 ;30 a. m., emitting a
huge volume ot smoke, whicn arose
apparently to the height of 1000 feet.
Tbe smoke was soon lilted to tbe north
and dissapeared about 2:30 P. m. A
column of smoke also arose from Mount
Baker, and other mountains showed tbe
same phenomenon, A rent was observed
n tbe Main Sister, winch bad never ap
peared before, and which was apparently
about a quarter of a mile long, running
from tbe top of the mountain toward the
base. Tbe mountain has never been
surmounted, the top being a precipitous
mats of chrome iron, in tbe early morn
ing a distinct earthquake sbock was felt.
William Siears, a well-known citizen,
who lives on J street, was disturbed at
about 5 a. m., as was also William San -
ders, who lives at tbe corner of J and
Fifth streets, and many others. At about
the time of the first shock tbe mayor and
number of his family were likewise
startled by the sbock.
Be Is Supposed to be Dead.
New Haven, Conn., Deo. 11 The case
of a live man formally declared dead by
court, after heating tbe testimony of
three witnesses, was developed here to
day. The man thus dead to law is George
Ha Ice. He was named as executor in tbe
will of Mary A. Tuttle, In offering tbe
will for probate, counsel declared of bis
own knowledge that George Hulce was
dead, and asked that an administrator be
appointed. Two other witnesses testified
to tbe death, one of them asserting that
be. attended tbe funeral. Tbe judge
thereupon decided that Hulce was dead.
How it appears . that he is not dead,
though tbe witness who testlned to tbe
contrary were honest in their opinion.
But, as the. court ' record cannot be
changed without reopening the case, and
as there is no disposition to do that, Mr.
Hulce, so far asvtbe records of tbe probate
are concerned, will remain dead.
Importers Object to Retaliation.
St. John's, N. F., Dec. 11 Importers
are disputing tbe legality of levying ad
ditional duty on Canadian goods. The
revenue act empowers the government
to impose additional duties on goods lm
ported from, countries tbe fishermen of
which have tbe privilege of taking fish
on all parts of tbe coast of Newfoundland,
and in which countries duties are levied
on fisb exported from this colony. Tbe
privilege ot taking bsb on tbe coast of
this colony is refused to Canadians, and,
therefore, it is argued the action cannot
be applied to Canadian exports. Sir
James Winter, ex attorney general, thinks
the action of tbe government is illegal.
The quarrel with Canada causes a heavy
loss to exporters of fisb and increases tbe
taxation on farm products, which Canada
can send here.
The Honduras .Revolution.
New York, Dec, 11. A San Salvador
dispatch says the latest news from Hon -
duras is quite alarming. It is reported
that General Hierrari ' is at tbe head of
tbe revolution against Domingo Yasequez,
governor ot tbe province ot Ubaluteca.
General Sierra has organized an army of
140,000 men, and a battle is now reported
progress between the revolutionists
and the forces of Governor Yasequez.
Pulicarpo Borila bag been proclaimed
president by tbe revolutionists. There is
great opposition in Choluteca against
President Leiva, who was lately elected,
and of this opposition Borila has been tbe
leader. Tbe opposition claim that Leiva
is a mere automaton in tbe bands of ex
Presidents Borgran and Broil I as, and
they piofess to believe tbat Bogran may
attempt to become a dictator. President
Ezeta, of Sao Salvador, is maintaining
strict neutrality.
Disastrous Fire In Ban Francisco.
San Francisco, Dec. 11 A fire broke
out in tbe benzine room of the Thomas
dye works, on Tenth street, this afternoon,
and destroyed that establishment and
the one adjoining, occupied by the Cali
fornia Motor Company. John Scbeerer's
asphaltum works and lumber yard were
also damaged. Five girls employed in
tbe dyeing estaolisbment were rescued
ith difficulty from tbe second-story
win lows. John O'Neill, foreman of one
of the engines, was struck on the bead by
a tailing cornice at the Motor Company's
building, and it is thought bis skull is
fractured. Engine No. 8 collided with
tbe dummy of a cable car, and a fireman
was thrown to tbe ground. Tbe loss on
the d e works is estinated at $75,000;
insurance, $ 10.000. Tbe California
Motor Company's loss is $50,000, and
insurance, $16,000.
Desperate Strikers.
Denver, Dec. 12 Tbe strike of
miners at tbe mines of the Colorado Coal
and Iron Company at Crested Butle has
resulted seriously. Since the men,
Italians and Australians, are out tbey
have been very ugly, refusing to allow
tbe company to bring in new - men, stop
ping tbe pumps and fans, allowing - tbe
mines to fill with ' gas, until there is
danger of tbe mines blowing up, and
have paraded the streets heavily armed
threatening death to those attempting to
assist tbe company. Ye'terday . Sheriff
Gunnison arrived with a posse of twenty
five men to take posse sion and guard f be
mines. ' No sooner baa the sheriff and
men alighted from tbe train when they
THE DALLES, OKEGON, SATURDAY. DECEMBER
were attacked bv about zuu armea
Italians and Austrians, who began firing
with Winchesters. The officers held tbe
men for a moment and then ordered tbem
to return the fire, which they did with
deadlv effect, killing Mike Compicine,
Mike Goercio, Mike Warn and John
Pocb, all Italians. George Simonici and
Matt Guakake, Austrians, were fatally
wounded. After bring tbe miners re-
treated and the posse took possession ot
tbe mines and threw up .redoubts. The
miners are swearing vengeance upon
every friend of the coal company, and
the town is upon tbe verge of a riot
Further trouble is feared to night. Tbe
governor has called out the state militia
and troops are now at the armory ready
to start for tbe scene by special train at a
moment's notice.
River and Harbor Bill.
WA8HiNGTON,Dec. 13 Tne Democracy
has determined to cut down tbe appro
priations, and Holm s promised tbat
if be is made chairman of the committee
on appropriations, he will reduce the ex
penditures $100,000,000. Among tbe
items he proposes to cut off is the river
and harbor bill. Senator Frye, chairman
ot toe senate committee on commerce,
which takes charge of that bill when it
comes over form tbe house, says there is
no danger of tbe failure of this measure.
It has grown to be ot large dimentions,
but it is one of the most important to all
sections, and to the wbole country, which
passes congress. Cleveland vetoed e $10,'
000,000 river and harbor bill in tbe fortv
ninth congress and wss compelled to sign
one of $23,000,000 soon after. Senator
Frye says there. Is too many public works
in progress and too much damage to
rol low lor congress to refuse to appropn
ate for these mtasures. More damage
could be done to Oregon by lopping off
tbese appropriations tban any otber state,
and it may be depended upon tbat .the
Oregon delegation will make a hard fight
before it wouid see this appropriation Dill
fail. Representative Savers, who will be
on the appropriation committee, says tbat
be bas figured out where he can cut ap
nropnations $60,000,000, and in this be
counts on reducing the river and harbor
bill $5,000,000. He bas cuts of like
amounts from other bills, and be may be
able to put approximately this schedule
through, but it is very doubtful.
Warring; Factions.
Seattle, Dec. 13 The disputo be
tween Captain McAlpine, of the steamer
Sehome, and tbe Marine Engineers Asso
ciation, growing out of a fight between
tbe officers and engineers on tbe
Olympian, November 20, will result in
the tying up of every steamer on the
Sound to morrow night, unless a settle
ment is reached, which is not likely.
Soon after tbe figbl, the affair was
thoroughly investigated by the local
United States inspectors. It was shown
tbat while Captain McAlpine was en
deavoring to quell a disturbance between
tbe firemen and deckhands, First Assist
ant Engineer Henry Smith attempted to
assault him, whereupon tbe captain
covered Smith with a revolver and
threatened to kill him. Smith's license
was revoked and Captain McAlpine was
assigned for duty to tbe steamer Schome
not long ago and the engineers lefused
to work under him, Tbe Marine Engin
eers Association then passed an order
declaim? that no engineer should work
the engines of any boat commanded by
Captain McAlpine. Tbe Puget Sound
Harbor Brotherhood of Steamship Pilots
have taken the matter up, and to-day
will tie np every steamer on tbe Sound
unless Captain McAlpine takes the Sehome
out to Whatcom at 12 o'clock to-morrow
night. Tbe action of tbe two associations
bas created much excitement in maritime
circles, and may result in a prolonged
suspension of water traffic.
Bobbins; an Indian rave.
Umatllla, Or., Dec. 14 Professor W.
Y. Hurley bas been here several days
lecturing on phrenology. Yesterday he
and a man named Hughes, brother to tbe
lady schoolmistress here, took a rowboat
and crossed tbe Columbia to visit tbe old
Indian graveyard and procure a few
specimens of Indian skulls. On return
ing tbey were promptly informed tbat
tbey had committee! an offense for wbicb
tbey might get into trouble. This morn
ing Mugbes tbougbt be would ngnt
things by crossing over tbe river again
and returning the skulls. When he got
over there, be found a band of ten or a
dczen big Umatilla bucks assembled
around the disturbed graves of their fore
fathers, and, as be bad reason to believe
tbat tbey were greatly enraged, be threw
down his pick, shovel and "specimens"
and started for his boat at a breakneck
speed tbe Indians after him. Hughes
just bad time to get to bis boat and
escape, as soon as tbey could get bold
of their canoes, tbe Indians came over
looking for him, but he was safe in bis
room, witn tne Key turned on tne insiae,
and bas remained there since. Tbe pro
lessor tbougbt be wonld be safer if be
was out of town, and took the first train
for Echo. -
A KellKlons Crank.
Pittsburg, Pa., Dec. 14. Inquiry at
Homestead, a suburb of Pittsburg, shows
that Charles Henry William Hogg, who
was arrested at Washington last Friday
for annoying President Harrison, is a
crank of very large ideas. He came to
Homestead last spridgand remained until
September. He did not seek employment,
and seemed to have enough money on
hicb to live comfortably. . He sought
the society ot tbe clergymen of tbe town
and unfolded to tbem tbe febeme which
was uppermost in bis mind. He said
that all religious societies at present in
existence are founded on wrong ideas,
and that peace will not come to tbe world
until all tbe churches are destroyed, and
one grana central eaince erectea witn
branches of tbe same kind in every town.
He said be had been appointed to be
master architect, and tbat all who assisted
in tbe enterprise wouia oe saints, ne
left for Washington with the express
put pose of interesting President Harrison
in bis project, wniie- at nomesieaa
Hogg conducted himself as a gentleman,
and was considered harmless.
A Hob of Haake Hen.
Waycross, Ga., Dec. 14. The Ware
county jail was broken into yesterday
morning about 2 o'clock by a mob ot
fifty masked men', who went to tbe cell
containing Welcome Golden and Robert
Knight,-leaders of tbe Yarno riot, and
shot tbem dead. Tbe sheriff was called
up by a man named Johnson, who said
be had a prisoner that he wished to pnt
in jail. Tbe prisoner, he said, had killed
his son-in-law, and asked to be locked
up as a protection against lynchers. The
sheriff accompanied Mr. "Johnson" to tbe
jail, where he found three men sitting on
. . .i i set - 1 1
toe steps, as iue sueriu jpiuauucu iuc
party jumped up and presented tneir
Winchesters, saying, "Consider your
selves under arrest." Tbe sheriff drew
his pistol and was caught by one of tbe
men. Tbey then demanded tbat be
should unlock tbe jail, but be refused.
About fittv masked men, wbo baa been
concealed behind the building, then ap-
peared, and, tbe sheriff stilt persisting in
bis refusal to open tbe doors, tbey depu
tized four of tbeir number to take him
back to bis house and guard him there.
On the way back he got away from tbem
and sent word to Waycross, sum
moning the military company and the
police, isy the time these bad arrived
bowever,the mob bad completed its work
and departed.
Albert son Sentenced.
iacoma, Dec 14. t here was a very
perceptible stir in tbe superior court to
day when Edward Albertson's name was
called for sentence. He arose quickly,
came with a firm and rapid step before
the bar, and stood without a tremor,
Attorney Williams arose and said be
desired to say a few words in Alberton's
behalf. He made a very feeling appeal
to the courc for clemency, read the affi
davit of a former employer concerning
Albertson's trustworthiness, and a letter
from a friend, paying a high tribute to
bis character. When Attorney Williams
began his address, Albertson bowed bis
head and stood in that attitude motion
less until the sentance was pronounced
At tbe close of bis address, tbe court said
that no argument as to his former good
cuaracter was needed, it was conceded
It only affected the sentence in tbe hope
tbat reformation-might be brought about.
The plea of tbe necessities wbicb drove
him to tbe crime was not valid. Those
necessities were crimes. It was a loner
series of crimes. He conld sympathize
with tbe poor, ignorant, unfortunate
fellow, without home, friends, or any
thing to 'hold bim to life, and the
necessity which drove such a man to
crime, but there was no excuse for a man
wbo stood so high in the community,
wbo bad friends and borne and comfort.
So far as tbe court was concerned, tbe
blab previous standing of tbe criminal in
tbe community where bis crime was com
mitted, a less consideration would be
shown bim. His sentence would there
fore be ten years at bard labor. Albert
son took' bis sentence cool v. stepping
oack and taking bis seat among tbe
otber prisoners witbont tbe slightest
change ot countenance. He bas en
tirely recovered from tbe wounds re
ceived at tbe time of bis capture, and is
now la splendid bealtb. To Fred N.
Chandler, Albertson's friend and accom

Salem Journal: The stage drivers are per
forming neroio services and have hard
times to reach Salem from the various
suburban towns. No stage came to Salem
from Independence from Monday noon to

We have received the first number of theH
Dufur Dispatch, by W. H. Brooks, mana

Salem Statesman: Conntv Stock Inspector
oimerai naa nine head ot Dorses under
quarantine tbe other day, but a passing
train killed a couple of them. These horses
are afflicted with glanders and the state
veterinarian will be up in a few dava to
look at them. The animals are just aboye
Salem. In only three herds of sheep in
the county is anv scab found now less than
400 head in ill, whereas about a year ago as
many thousand were afflicted. This cer
tainly speaks volumes for the dip treat
ment. Capital Journal: There is at present
probably more sickness among the inmates
of Cbeniawa Indian school than at any
other time within its history. Thirty-one
patients are in bed aud some others ailing,
besides a fejv Convalescents. The physician
of the school is off duty with sickness, and
Dr. Richardson of this city is looking after
the ailing onea. It would seem difficult to
name the disease, but it seems to be a cross
between la grippe, pneumonia and tvphoid.
It is to be hoped it may soon be checked.
A social party was held at Mr. Frank
Laughlin's residence last evening, for his

Bochan, Yictor Simpson, Eddy Michell and
Varde McFarland. The young people bad
a most bountiful refection served at a sea
sonable time, and games were indulged in
until a late hour, when the young people
retired well satirfied with the evening's en
tertainment. The Yaqnina Post tells how a young'boy
named Bennie Schloupe accidentally shot
himself in tbe arm while hunting near To
ledo last week. Bennie was in a boat, and
in some manner tne hammer of the gun
caught on a timber of the vessel, discharg
ing the contents of one barrel, which en
tered tbe inside of the left arm, shattering
in a horrifying manner. On reaching
home the boy's injuries were attended to
but it was soon discovered that the flow of
blood could not be stopped. Acting upon
the last hopes the saddened father per
mitted the arm of the sufferer to be ampu
tated. But tbe blood had flown too freely
aud too long, and tbe boy's life succumbed
to tbe natural consequences. His parents
are almost distracted with grief. His re
mains were buried in Toledo cemetery.
The following from the Oreaonian will be
of interest to onr citizens: "Captain Sy-
mons, United States engineer, has returned
from a visit to Yaquina bay. The principal
object of his journey was to inspect two
quarries that are being opened there, and
also to ascertain the possibility and practi-
caDUity ot procuring rock tor the letues
along the line of the railroad and shipping
it on the cars to deep water. The groat
trouble with the quarries along the river is
the vast amount of debris left after taking
out the rock wanted, and the difficulty in
disposing of it. There are some good quar
ries along the railroad, but as to whether
they can be ntilized or not, of course de
pends upon tbe freight rates the railroad
company can make. Work will be kept up
all winter on tbe jetties at Yaquina. Rock
is now being dumped in the north jetty,
but in a few days the force will be trans
ferred to the south jetty, and it will be
built up to -high-water mark and finally
completed.

"Musio hath charms to soothe the savage
breast," but frequently strains of melody
are forced upon unwilling ears, and in such
instances .tbey are not soothing in their
effect, as the following from the Hood River
Glacier will demonstrate: Cush Luckey as a
aeranader is not a first-class success. Tues
day he performed the Orpheus act under
the window of Lawrence Blowers at about
11 o'clock. Lawrence listened to the music
for some time bat was nnable to divine
whether it was intended as the overture of
something in the musical line, or an inoip
leut evidence of intent to commit burglary.
Lawrence saw by the dim light of tbe be
clouded moon, the outlines of a human form
crouching under the window, and called
out: "Who's theref" Receiving no answer
he called again three or four times with tbe
same result; and then be raised the window
and took a shot at a rapidly retreating
figure, fortunately missing it. Cush will
wait for better weather and brighter moon
light before be goes serenading again, and it
is sale to say wiu answer wuen caueu. a
Statesman: Soon after Bon. Wo. MoKin
ley was elected governor of Ohio tbe Re
publicans of Salem took it into their heads
to show to bim their appreciation of hit
statesmanship, and through a committee
consisting of Jap Minto, Geo. Williams and
C. B. Moo res money was raised to send him
the finest pair of blankets that could be
manufactured in Oregon. The order was
placed with the Salem woolen mill and yes
terday the blankets were completed and
will be exhibited a few days, before being
sent east.st the Woolen Mills store. These
blankets" are perhaps tbe finest ever manu
factured in Oregon, being of choice Oregon
wool. They are 96x80 inches and cost $50,
and are as soft and fleecy as down itself.
They are of pure white, tbe border being of
red and blue, tessellated. On one tide is
woven the dedication: "From tbe Wool
Growers of Oregon to Gov. McKinley, of
Ohio," and on tbe reverse side is the an
nouncement that tbe blankets were manu
factured by the Tbos. Kay Woolen Mills,
of Salem, Oregon. This is certainly a grand
present, which eloquently declares the es
teem in which the gallant major is held by
the Republican of far Oregon. '

Jacksonville Times: flsn Francisco par
ties are again in Southern Oregon for the
purpose of purchasing choice apple. At
high as $1 a box for future delivery bas
been paid. Big red apples always sell the

choioe apples, by which we mean perfect
apple of good size and free from disease of
any kind.

Truly, Oregon is a state to be proud of.
With ber forests of tine timber, ber rich
mine of gold, silver and coal and her sure
crops, she l unsurpassed by any state in

climate than she nor of more bountiful
crops. The farmer of Oregon is or should

excellent crop and has received a good price
for it, and now with money in his pocket he
can sit in the glow of the firelight and enjoy
himself during tbe winter months with no
