Awful Train Wreck.
Minneapolis, Jan. 15. The second
section ot No. 9, with the Andrews opera
company on board, left West Superior at
midnight for Graode 'Forks. Near
Jooesville the train struck a broken rail,
the engine and baggage car passing over
in safety, but the sleeping car was de
railed. It toppled over, breaking loose
from the train, and went down an em
bankment five feet high, lying od the
side. Soon the the windows were broken
to liberate those inside. The flames shot
out, and in very short order the car was
enveloped. The trainmen soon liberated
those unable to extricate themselves, but
none were able to save their clothes, and
the night being the coldest of the season,
the thermometer reaching 46 beolw, the
sufferings of the injured were terrible.
At this time it was discovered that Mrs.
Edward Andrews and Lillie were missing,
but no baman efforts could render them
assistance, as the car was a mass of
flames. They were burned to death
The injured were placed in a baggage
car and brought to BrainerJ and quar
tered at the Arlington hotel
Florence Joy was severely burned on
the back and brad, and will probably
die; May Douglass, Miss Lei itia French,
Mrs. L F Barker, Miss Marie Roe, George
Andrews, Mies Elia Harris, J C Tavloi,
H Allen, Fred Allen, Miss Josheartr sod
L F Barker were injured more or lees
seriously.
Miss Douglass, when she was brought
from the car, was literally enveloped in
flames. She will probably recover. The
women were nearly nude, but were
wrapped up as tbey were taken out. The
bodies of the two woman burned to death
were charred beyond all recognition; the
beads, legs aud arms were entirely gone.
t,d Andrews rescued his little baby and
and supposed bis wife was safe. He is
wild with grief. Members of the com
pany lost all their possessions except their
stage clothes
Wiil not Long be Ielyed.
Washington, Jan. 15 The president
to-day concluded his examination of the
diplomatic correspondence in the Chilian
cod troy ersy and sent the documents back
to the state department. At the cabinet
meeting to-day he announced this, and
indicated that the next step in the case
would not long be delayed. The whole
matter was discussed informally, bnt no
action was taken, as there is nothing to
be done until the correspondence is pub
lisbed. It is ascertained the president
will accompany the transmission of the
correspondence by a message on the sub
ject that will advance certain propositions
that will denne the attitude ot tne ad
ministration in a very positive manner.
The expectation is he will have the mes
sage ready so that it can be submitted to
the cabinet at its meeting Tuesday after
noon or more probably Wednesday
morning. The government investigation
into the attack upon the Baltimore's
sailors conducted at San Francisco,
having come to an end, there is no reason
whv the facts thus far elicited, which
would seem to greatly strengthen the
govern meDuvs case should not be incor
porated in the document sent to congress,
especially as portions of the testimony
haye been mailed to Washington frem
day to day, and the last batch of evidence
should be here in a very lew days.
Not at all Disnurbed.
New Yobk, Jan. 15. The 'fleroZtf
Valparaiso special says there is a decided
improvement in the situation during tbe
past twenty-four hours. There is now no
more talk. Minister Montt cables from
Washington be has assurances of an early
settlement of, the question involved.
Senor Preirera, minister ot foreign affairs
has assured Minister Egan, tbe Chilian
government will severely punish all
persons who have insulted Americans.
Two roughs who stoned the occupants of
the Yorktown's gig a week ago, have
been arrested, and an early conviction
and sentence may be expected. Not
withstanding the reports sent from Wash
ington that Prendenc. Harrison is urging
an immediate reply to tbe demand made
upon Chili by the United States, I have
been told by a representative of tbe
Chilian government that no specific re
quirements have been forwarded to San
tiago. Up to this time only general
proposals have been made and the Chilian
government i9 now awaiting the delivery
ot the express terms of the demands
which the United States government will
make upon it. It is not expected bere
that the demands will be made until
after tbe entire evidence concerning tbe
Baltimore affairs have been received at
Washington. I am told, on official an -
tbority, tbe Chilian minister at Washing
ton has been instructed to act in a most
conciliatory manner. United States
Minister Eagan now meets with great
consideration when visiting - Moneda.
Diplomatic . cavilers acknowledges bis
success.
The Mexican Border.
Monterey, Mexico, Jan. 15. General
Reyes' latest . advices from Mier are that
everything on the frontier is quiet
Nothing would better please tbe Mexican
government tban for tbe United States
authorities to ' allow the insurgents to
cross over to this side, so that tbey could
be annihilated. In tbe meantime the
authorities are watching tbe insurgents
closely and sre ready to promptly sup
press any outbreak which might occur.
General Reyes contends that tbe Chihua
hua affair amounts to ncthing. It is tbe
opinion here that Diaz is willing for the
revolutionists to proceed, so that be can
find out exactly who is putting up the
money and who is the real bead. The
terrible poverty naturally causes uneasi
ness. Starving men are willing to fight
for their bread, and unless the wants of
tbe people are relieved they could easily
be converted into an army, and this is
what causes anxiety. Pinkerton men are
at work ferreting out the leaders, and a
woman baa been employed to fascinate
Garza if she can find him.
JUcKinlr y on the Wool Tariff.
Columbus, O., Jan. 15. In a speech
be I ore the agricultural convention yester
day' afternoon, Governor McEanley said:
There is one thing that tbey all might as
well make up their minds to down East:
That they can't have wool free when it
comes from the sheep's back aud put a
tariff on it when it comes on our backs.
They cannot bave wool come into their
factories iu New England free, and come
out of their ; factories with a tariff to tbi
American people." .
Willing to FIgnC
Sr. Louis, Mo., Jan. 15. The contro
versy existing between the United States
aud the Chilian government has caused
the young Americans in EaBt St. Louis
to oiganize a company of volunteers witb
the intention of responding to tbe first
call of tbe president for tioopa to go to
Chili. A committee of prominent young
men has been appointed to write to tbe
secretary of war and inform him of tbe
stere taken toward forming a company.
ami to ask bim to give tbe East St. Louis
boys first place in case trouble shoulU.and tbe long period of state mourning,
ensue. The same committee is autnor
ized to write Governor Fifer and ask him
to furnish guns aod equipments.
Although the enlistment papers have
been in circulation only one morning,
tbey contain almost half a hundred
names. A meeting will be held some
eyening this week to elect officers.
A Mall Driver's Bravery,
Sioux City, Iowa, Jan. 17. A bold
but unsuccessful attempt to rob tbe
transfer mail wagon was made this morn
ing at 6:10 in an alley back of the Sioux
City postoffice building. The remarkable
courage of J. C. Newell, the driver, frus
trated the designs of the would be
robbers, and tbey were compelled to seek
safety in flight, leaving tbe booty behind.
Newell bad made his regular trip to the
Omaha train and received a load of mail.
This morning there were six pouche
some of them very valuable. As a bag
gage wagon box on runners had been
substituted for tbe regular mail wagon
tbe mail bad been thrown into the back
seat, and Newell sat down upon tbe
sacks and started lor tbe office. It was
still dark when be drove down tbe allev
near the rear door of the postoffice.
Suddenly four rough-looking men sprang
up to tbe side of tbe wagon, and one of
tbem thrust a revolver in bis face and
ordered him to throw up his bands. An
other robber stood at the bead of the
horses while the remaining two began to
take out tbe pouches. At an opportune
moment Newell grabbed tbe revolver by
tbe muzzel and tried to wrest it from bis
assailant, but tbe trigger was pulled and
the ball crashed through the driver's
band, shattering many of the bones aid
causing a painful wound. The robber
again cocked the weapon and fired, but
Newell dropped oa his face in the wagon
Then he began to shout for help. Tbe
highwaymen nicked up several pouches
and started to run, but they did not go
lar before they became frightened and
dropped their booty. Newell bad ob
served two men suspiciously watching
him tor two days at tbe raiiroad station,
and yesterday reported tbe fact to the
postmaster. Tbe police are following tbe
clews and expect to capture tbe men
It is believed that tbey are amateurs.
Postmaster Kirk has written Supennten
dent Tracy, of this division, giving tbe
details ot tbe robbery, and asking that
Newelfs bravery be given official re
cognition.
Protection Not Clara nteed.
New York, Jan. 16. The Herald's
Valparaiso special says: Definite instruc
tions were cabled Minister Montt yester
day directing the withdrawl of Malta's
offensive note. It was presumed this
was done before, but now it is known tbe
withdrawal was not made. New com
plications arose to-day in regarde to
tsalmaceda's refugees, permited to go
aboard the Torktown. At tbe last
moment tbe Chilian government refused
to gurantee safety to tbe refugees while
going from tbe Torktown to tbe departing
steamer, or even to agree that the steamers
upon which they took passage were not
to be searched Egan bad been tacitly
assured by Perreira, the minister of
foreign affairs, that those to whom be bad
given an asylum would be permited to
leave. Acting on these assurances they
purchased tickets and prepared to sail
to-day. Tbe refusal of the authorities to
guarantee safety to their late foes, made
it unsafe for tbem to sail. In order to
make certain the promise that their flight
wonld not be prevented, they offered to
take any steamer sailing either north or
south from Valparaiso, but their offer
would not be accepted without a guaran
tee ot safety, as tbey were liable to arrest
or assault by a mob. Under tbe circum
stances tbey remained aboard the York
town. Captain Evans has cabled to Wash
ington for instructions.
Tbe Karth Came Down.
Tacoha, Wash., Jan. 16. The largest
landslide occurring for - years on the
Northern Pacific road came down tbe
bluffside at Eagle Gorce last evening
about 7 o'clock. Tbe slide completely
buried a large steam shovel, worth $3000,
and tbe main line tcr a distance of 300
feet. Engineer J. M. Dixon and Division
Engineer Bihler said this morning that
it win take his force nve days to dig out
tbe shovel and ascertain the damage
done. Tbe force at Eagle Gorge numbers
150 men. who started to dig out tbe big
shovel to day. Tbe bluff there rises up
from tbe Green river to a height of over
100 feet. Tbe slide brought down tbe
entire brow of the bluff, including huge
boulders, stumps and trees. Tbe earth
will be taken away by work trains. A
side track was run around tbe scene of
tbe slide at Eagle Gorge, which trains
are using Two dozen men quit work
on and around tbe steam shovel an bonr
before tbe slide occurred. ."
A sain in Prison.
Butte, Jan. 16. Four of tbe county
jail prisoners, who escaped on the 6th
icst., have been recaptured. Tbey are:
J. B. Smith, tbe negro wanted for assault
to kill ; Stafford and Sparks, two of tbe
safe burglars, and C. G. Price, the mur
derer of Cunningham. Ever since tbey
escaped a search has been kept up for
them. Smith was caught in a cabin in
tbe southeast part of tbe city. A woman,
who lived near the colony, gave tbe police
tbe tip. He was caught in bed and made
no resistance. Stafford and Sparks were
betrayed by a "hop fiend," in the cellar
of whose house tbey were secreted.
Price was found in tbe attic of tbe
Miners' Union ball. He was undoubted
ly placed there by a member of tbe
union, thongb, of course, to tbe majority
of tbe members it was unknown.. It will
have a, disastrous effect on tbe unioa,
whose members are all smirched by tbe
discovery. It will undoubtedly take
some means to exculpate itself.
Other Katlonal News.
Washington, Jan. 16 Representative
Scott, of Illinois, has . introduced a bill
prohibiting the postoffice department
from selling stamped envelopes bearing
the usual printed request for a return to
the owner after a limited period. Speak
ing of tbe resolution, Mr. Scott said :
Under the present iaw, tbe government
is a direct competitor with every printing
house in tbe country. It is an unwar
ranted trespass by tbe government upon
the private business of every printer in
tbe United States. Many millions of
dollars annually are by this act taken
from the printing business. This does
not seem fair or just. Tbe government
should take its bands off and not oppress
one of tbe greatest, and most important
industries of our country.
Tbe Last Bad Kites.
London, Jan. 19. Tbe general gloom
caused by tbe death of the Duke of Clar
ence and Avondale will bave a very bad
effect npon tbe London amusement world.
Tbe death of tbe duke means a heavy
loss and bad saaaon to caterers of all
kinds of public amusements. Tbe al
ready heavy loss through the bad weather
and heavy log which preceded Christinas,
means empty seats at all tbe theaters.
Preparations for tbe funersl of tbe duke
are being made, but all tbe details are
not arranged. It is announced positively
the interment will take place at noon
Wednesday. Tbe body of tbe duke will
be conveyed from Saodringbam, and will
arrive at Windsore Castle Tuesday. .It is
believed tbe statement regarding the
condition of the queen's beahh is grossly
exaggerated. That she is seriously or at
all ill is not shewn by tbe arrangements
made for her presence at tbe funeral
ceremonies.
The body of the duke was removed
from Sandringham to tbe parish church
this morning. The Princess of Wales
and Princess Victoria Mary are recover
ing somewhat from tbe shock of tbe
duke's death, and are becoming more re
signed. ibe liodv will be taken to
London, and then to Windsor. There
will be a public and semi-military pro
cession through London from one rail
road station to the other. The body will
be received at Windsor with military
honors and be guarded to the castle by a
sqaaron ot cavalry, liuards will be
detailed
to line the route and keep it
clear.
General Algers's View of t Us Situa
tion.
Detroit, Jan, 17. General Alger, in
an interview here to day, said:
I here is a good deal ot Chilian war
talk in Washington and war may be tbe
outcome ol the present situation. Tbe
army and navy naturally favor it and
their influence is felt. War prepara
tions always excite and enthuse the
masses too, and a war policy is apt to be
temporarily popular on that account.
But it seems to me it would be prudent
and proper to send a commission to Cbili,
previous to a determination to begin
hostilities witb the view of thus securing
ample preparation and avoiding an ap
peal to ans, which would sacrifice not
less than 10,000 lives and cost $300,-
000,000. If tbe commission failed,
war wnuld be inevitable, and I
only refer to tbe appointing of a
commission as a means of honorably
avoiding hostilities. There is one good
result of the war scare, anyway. It has
convinced people-of the necessity for a
strong navy.
Claras Still Under Cover.
Sax Antonio, Tex., Jan. 17. Tbe
Garza troubles have apparently subsided
so far as open hostilities are concerned,
but there is still a widespread distrust all
along tht border that tbe wily revolution
ists may bob up again at any time and
the troops remain in the field. So far es
Garza is concerned, there is no reliable
information as to bis whereabouts or
plans, but this is no indication that be
has given up the movement or is without
sympathizers or supporters. The report
that be is in tbe vicinity of Eagle Pass
with a considerable following appears

Inere was good feed on the hills, nd the
cattle were in excellent condition.
We are informed that deer are beinar
driven lrom the mountains by the severity

The Hegulalor, before she is again put in
the trade will have eight state rooms built
on the deck, and the hog chains strength.
tDed. In other respects tbe craft will be
thoroughly repaired and made more suita
ble for the traffic. This will very likely
take about three weeks.
Barbed wire fences are playing sad havoc
with horses, and we are iuformed that some
very valuable animals have been injured
by cominc iu contact with these.
It seems the ground since the recent thaw
has become very slippery, and horses are
liable to fall on a hillside and become
injured by these fences.
To-morrow the following schedule of time

orders that hereafter circulars having any
thing printed ou them with a rubber stamp
will bave to be pud for as first-class matter.

the Upper .Willamette Lumber Manufac
turers' Association was held in this city
last Saturday, aud J. C. Goodale was re
elected president aod A. Wheeler secretary.

1S90, aud $44,000 in 1889.

Salem Statesman, 12: At its meeting yes
terday the state land board made a formal
ruling which is in effect that certificates
will not be issued to intending purchasers
of school land that bas not been surveyed.
Practically this rule has been in force for
several years, but it was not until yester
day that a formal entry of it was made. In
all of its rulings this board shows prefer
ence to actual settlers as opposed to mere
speculators.
F. X. Matthien still .owns the land in
Marion county, between Butteville and
Aurora, where the first crop of wheat grew
that was ever raised in the northwest. This
piece of land illustrates the richness uf Ore
gon soil, for it has grown seventy-five crops
of wheat in forty-six years, aod still pro
duces thirty-five bushels to the acre. Tbe
wheat grown on this land, if spread on tbe
surface, would occupy as great a depth as
the sou has been cultivated.
It appears tbat hoodlumism is rampant at
Dnfnr. as tbe following from the Dispatch
will verify: "When some of the youngsters
have been rebuked trom the pulpit a lew
more times, they may learn or may have
to be taught that the House of God is not
the place for an exhibition of bad manners
and disregard for the rights aud feelings of
others. One who cannot maintain a quiet
and reverent attention bad better keep or
be ktpt away. And a church is not a
'flirtation corner, either.
Oc the arrival of the north-bound freight
Saturday evening at Spragoe, the brakemaa
discovered a tramp ridiog on the brake-
beam. He was so benumbad with cold tbat
he could not talk nor move. The trainmen
took him from the brke-beam and carried
him into the depot to a tire, 'where the
aceot rubbed him thoronghly,and tbe blood
soon began to circulate freely. He is now
all right, bnt it was a narrow escape, uaa
he gone a mile or two further he would
bave died.
Iowa has passed a stringent bnt just
tramp law. It declares that any male per
son sixteen years of age or oyer, who is
physically able to work, who wanders about
begging or idle and wno cannot snow rea-
onable'efforts to secure employment, shall
be deemed a tramp, sent to jail and put to
bard work. While in jail he shall not be
allowed tobacco, liquor, sporting or illus
trated newspapers, cards or any other means
of amusement. Tbe tramps will no doubt
avoid Iowa like tbey would an unmuzzled
bull dog.
Corr. Condon Globe: They are having
lively times just now at Mitchell and along
the toll road. Keceotly G. L. Frizzell and
H. H. Wheeler built a road around the toll
gate, at their personal expense, for their
own private use. Accordingly the toll oom-
company sued Mr. wneeier, ana tne juscise
at Mitchell has asked for ten days' time in
which to make his decision. Last Saturday
they had Mr. Frizzell np before the city
dads of Mitchell on a charge of whittling
Walter Helms with bis knife. Also the
honorable attorney of Shoofly for drawing
bis shooter aud hrtng it on the street.

ago of the strange disappearance of Robert
Wallace, a young man working at ingalls
place on the Lewis and Clarke. He had
gone hunting in the last days of the year
and had not returned. Search for him re
sulted in the finding of a place in the tide,
land dyke where he had left two empty
cartridge shells, and further on was found
tbe boat. Yesterday further search re
sulted in finding the dead body of the un
fortunate young man, with a ghastly wound
under his arm trom which blood was slowly
welling. He btd been dead some days.
He was lying in a heap where the little
slough makes into the larger ono, and from
the position of the body and attendant cir
cumstance, it would seem that he had
reached tbe junction ot the two sloughs
when he saw a duck, and reaching for nis
gun drew it toward In m muzzid first, when
it went off with I'atul effect.

way of exhibiting railroad extorting to the
board of trade at Seattle. . He sent a box of
apples, omitting to pay the freight. Tbe
board paid 95 cents freight charges and 25
cents for city delivery. - "Now," said
tbe doctor, "you can perceive why Walla
Walla ships so little fruit to Puget Sound."
Asotin Sentinel: Tbe hillsides along Snake
river in tbe vicinity of Coase creek are now
in a rather dangerous coudition for range

Gold is no longer the principal product of
California. Though still an important one,
it has given place to agricultural prod Jets.
The wheat exported from that state this
year will amount in value to $37,000,000.
There will also be exported 20,000,000 gal
Ions of wine, woith as many millions of
dollars. This goes to show that after all
the principal source of wealth in this coun
try, even in the states richest in mineral re
sources, is in the soil, rather than beneath
it. This is the oase in California and also
in Montana, whose mines are among the
the most renowed in the union.

twenty-one years old, were engaged in
cleauing out a well. Henderson stepped on
a board and slipped, falling into the well,
feet foremost. It was eighty-two feet to
the bottom, and his companions, thinking
surely the young man oould not haye es
caped death, set about with sad hearts at
preparing to raise him to the surface. Sud
denly from tbe depths came a voice, "Why
don't you send down a rope?" The sur
prised men above replied. "We were get
ting ready to do so, and thought you were
dead." "I don't think I'm hart a bit," was ,
the response. Soon a rope wa1jwerel,
which Heudrickson att icned to his body.
He was drawn np about ten feet aud ased
to be lowered to secura hu hat. He was

lir jy uninjured, with tiio itfptio.i of a

Coos Bay Netot: The importance of the

W henever our coast line of railroad is built,

These old papers give news of tha past, and
it is quite interesting to read the news of

The sheriff's office was quite a study for
