Caran's Recall Demanded.
Washington, Jan. 22. Tbe recall of
Minister Egan, the rumor of which was
nieDtioDed in these dispatches last night
was formally requested of Secretary
Blaine to-nigbt by Minister Mqntt as the
bead of the Chilian legation. It was said
tbe Chilian government Dases its request
for tbe recall of Mr. Egan npon tbe alle
gations that tbe American minister had
been guilt; of making reports
Washington that were deliberately false,
and of engaging in intrigues for the pur
pose ot creatiog trouble between the
United States and Chili. - A gentleman
acquainted with the correspondence with
Chi.i said when be heard ot Montt s ue
maid: '"The publication of tbe corre
spondence with Chili will conclusively
disprove the assertions of the Chilian
government. Mr. Egan has kept this
government fully advised of the progress
of events in Chili since Ins arrival there,
but be has done so without partisan bias.
Tbe members of the ' United States gov
ernment, who are familiar with his con
duct, fully approve it, acd President
Harrison and Secretarv Blaine are fully
in accord in this. In tbe estimation
which Mr. Egsn is held, this action on
the part of the Chilian government,
which is the first official indication of
their dissatisfaction with Mr. Egan, will
have a tendency to precipitate a crisis in
the relations between tbe two countries
It is taken in official circles to indicate
that Chili does not intend to make rep
ar&tion or aoplogy for tbe Baltimore inci
dent, unless it can attach a condition
which will preserve tbe pride of tbe gov
ernment of that country and enable it to
retain tbe respect and support of tbe
people who would resent an unqualified
apology.
Mast Beply at Once.
New York, Jan. 22. Tbe Beeord's
Washington special says the administra
tion awaits a report from Minister Egan
as to the intentions of the Chilian gov
ernment. The minister has been in
structed to call on the cabinet at San
tiago for immediate categorical answer
to tbe question whether Chili has any
intention of making a favorable response
to tbe demands of the United States,
either now or at some other time. An
answer to tbe demand is expected hourly,
but np to this evening none has been re
ceived. D.spatcbes have come Irom
Minister Egan, bnt none of them has
conveyed any information of a nature to
change tbe conditions of the controversy.
A definite declaration of the Chilian gov
ernment, that if it is given time to allay
tbe feeling at home it will withdraw tbe
offensive note and will make an apology
for tbe Valparaiso outrage, will be ac -
cepted by onr government iu good faith,
aud every opportunity will be afforded
tbe distracted republic to make good its
pledge. A refusal to answer iSgan s re
quest, one way or another, will bave but
one meaning, in sending to minister
Egan its demand for a categorical answer
from Chili, the administration bas de
liberately ignored tbe presence of Minis
ter Montt, as the representative of tbe
Santiago government.
Poverty-Stricken Counties In Kansas
Tofeka, Kan., Jan. 22. The adjatant
general's office was notified to-day that
Eminence and Ravenna, rival candidates
for tbe county seat in Garfield county,
were making threats against each other,
and the state authorities were urged to
take immediate steps to prevent an out
break. Attorney-General Ives bas caused
qno warranto proceedings to be in
stituted in tbe supreme court, and an at
tempt will be made to disorganize the
county. At the last election for tbe
county seat Eminence got a majority, and
a contract was awarded for moving tbe
county seat at a cost of $3500. Tbe
people ot Kavenna will contest this
paper. An examination into tbe finances
f tbe county revealed the fact that it
had a debt of $90,000, and the assessed
va! nation of its property is only $100,000.
Under the law the assessment for county
purchases cannot exceed 5 mills on the
dollar. The Garfield suit will be made
as a test case, and if tbe attorney-general
s successful, a number of counties in a
similar condition will be disorganized.
In this way it is hoped to abolish the
small southwestern counties which have
given so much trouble. ;
Justice Bradley Bead, i
Washington, Jan. , 22.--Joseph P.
Bradley, associate justice of supreme
court of tbe United States, died at 6:15
this morning at bis residence, of general
debility. JUBtice Bradley was in the 79th
year of bis age. His death was not un
expected, as it was known for some
months that be was far from being well.
An attack of grip last spring left bim in
much debilitated condition, from which
beseemed unable to rally. During tbe
greater part of tbe present term of court
be was unable to be present, and with
bis declining years, and the cold, damp
weather prevailing, it was impossible for
bim to recover. Two days ago be rallied,
and it was thought be might shake off
tbe illness, but yesterday be began sink
ing.
The funeral arrangements, in accord
nee with the wishes of the dead justice.
will be quiet. Private services will be
beld at his late residence Sunday alter
noon, and tbe remains will then be taken
to Newark, K. J-, for interment Monday.
Tbe tnpreme conrt adjourned imme-
iutely after assembling until next Tues
day.
Is Again Postponed.
Washington, Jan. 22. No dispatches
were received to-day at either the state
or navy department in regard .to tbe
condition of affairs in Chili. At tbe
meeting of the cabinet to-day the Chilian
question was discussed. It is impossible
at this writing to obtain any official in
formation on ibis subject, but it is gener-
11 y understood the cabinet bas practic
lly decided to submit the matter to
.congress early next week In order that
congress, as well as tbe country at large.
might know tbe exact status of tbe con
troverey. While such a course would not
in itself indicate the termination of dip
lomatic negotiations for. a settlement of
tbe matter jin dispute it would give the
public through congress an opportunity
to determine which country is res pons -
hie for tbe present unsettled Btate of
affairs. It was stated tbe death of Jus
tice Bradley was announced at the cabi
net meeting to-day, and it was decided
to adjourn at once, oat of respect to bis
memory.
The Cabinet Meetlnsr.
Washington, Jan. 22. Tbe meeting
of the cabinet to-day, in view of tbe
death of Justice Bradley, was quite brief,
lasting only about an bonr. All tbe
secretaries were present. It is under
stood that President Harrison' read a
draft of bis message, with which he will
send the correspondence on tbe Chilian
matter to congress, to bis associates, and
it is supposed that it will go to congress
upon the reassembling Monday. Tbe
delay in sending the correspondence to
congress, which was generally expected
would be done Wednesday, is said to be
due co tbe fact that all the testimony ad
duced in the examination of tbe Balti
more sailors at Valparaiso, bad not been
received. It bas just come to band, and
was considered by the president last
night. Tbe message is not completed
that is, it bas not been finally revised,
and it will not probably be until to mor
row.
The Tariff Bill
Washington, Jan. 24. It the Demo
crats of the ways and means committee
bring in a bill to modify some portions of
the present tariff law, and each of the
many measures tbat have been intro
duced in tbe house is added to it, it wil
be considerable of a tariff bill before it
goes through. There are so many mem
bers who bave some particular job of
local interest which they wish to foster
tbat there has been introduced a whole
slew of small tariff bills. Mostoftbem
propose to put on tbe free list certain
articles without regard to the effect on
other portions of the country. The
Massachusetts idea is entirely in one
direction to bave admitted free all raw
material aud products which cannot be
produced in any other known stction of
tbe country, and which can be supplied
by Canada or other foreign countries,
and then retain tbe duties on all manu
factures wbich they supply to tbe
Western consumers. It would seem tbat
tbe Democrats, as a body in the present
house, are really satisfied with the opnn
ger programme, which is to amend tbe
tariff law by piecemeal, feeling tbat tbey
can put tbe Republicans of tbe senate
in a quandary on each of these measures
But tbe feeling among the Republican
members is such that tbey will stand to
gether and insist tbat tbe Democrats pass
a general tariff bill, and not undertake to
strike out certain particular features in
the bill, which wonld entirely disarrange
tbe present laws and make tbem unequal
in different parts of the country. Tbe
late lamented Hancock, who said that
the tariff was a local issue, seems to have
inspired the majority of the Democrats
ot tbe present house who intend to
amend tbe tariff law. .
The Pratt In Demand.
New York, Jan. 24. The Herald's
Washington correspondent telegraphs his
paper tbat the rumor: tbat the cruiser
Philadelphia is on its way to tbe Mediter
ranean is undoubtedly true. The cor
respondent says it is the purpose of tbe
Philadelphia to keep a close watch of tbe
Chilian cratt Kl U apt tan Pratt, and tbat
tbe Chilian government will probably
encounter difficulties in getting that
vessel into her own waters. It has been
known to American naval officials some
time that the Chilian government is
exerting everv effort to get the El Cam
tan Pratt in condition to leave Toulon at
tbe moment tbe wires flashed tbe first
news of a declaration of war. -It is the
belief of tbe officials here tbat tbe de
parture of tbe Esmeralda, Condella, and
three other Chilian vessels from Val
paraiso for tbe south: bas some further
significance than that ot securing recruits.
as announced in dispatches from Val
paraiso. The departure of the Esmeralda
and other vessels southward Is now
thought to be part of a plan to enable
tbe El Capilan Pratt to be assisted to
get into Chilian waters at once should
war be declared. -
Tonkin's Murderer Easily .Escaped.
Fairhaven, Wash., Jan. 23. George
Sleucer, a well-known Lnmmi Indian,
who was arrested yesterday on suspicion
of killing Moses Tonkin Wednesday,
made a desperate attempt to murder
Sheriff De Lorimer this sfternoon and
succeeded in making his escape. The
sheriff took Sleucer out to tbe scene of
Tonkin's murder to view the ground and
endeaver to draw ont an admission ot his
guilt. Tbe Indian enticed tbe sheriff to
tbe edge of tbe bluff everlooking the bay
and seventy-five feet high, to show him
the tracks. As the sheriff approached
tbe edge, tbe Indian pnshed bim over tbe
precipice. Tbe sheriff caught hold of a
shrub and saved his life, but tbe Indian
escaped.' A posse of reservation Indian
police and county officers are now out
after the fugitive and he will probably
be lynched if captured. It is thought
tbat this Indian and his nephew com
mitted tbe crime. ' The two Indians
bought supper at Kennedy's hotel at
Lnmmi after the tragedy, and were druak
and excited. The Indian, George Sleucer,
has a good farm on tbe reservation.
Ntoek Perishing."
Boise, Idaho, Jan. 23. Thousands of
cattle, are slowly starving to death in tbe
bills of Southern Idaho. Tbe loss to
stock-raisers will be tremendous. Every
blade of grass upon the ranges is under
from 22 to 60 inches of snow. The pres
ent winter has not -been equalled in
severity since 1870. Tbe rigorous season
was not anticipated by ranchers, and
tbey delayed bringing cattle to the low
lands. Tbe delay has proved fatal, and a
well-known stockman said to-day that
every domestic animal left in tbe bills is
sure to meet deatb, either from cold or
hunger. Nearly every rancher will lose
more or less heavily, though many of
them bad tbe good fortune to drive por
tions of their cattle into tbe valleys be
fore, the great snow came. Boise meat
dealers announce tbat tbe price of meat
will soon be raised- 2 cents per pound
Miners in the mountain districts cannot
work, as the claims are hidden by snow.
No snowslides nor loss ot human life are
reported.
A Fatal Train Wreck.
Albuquerque, N. M., Jan. 22. Early
this morning a Raymond & Wbitcomb
pecial train going west and tbe Atlantic
& Pacific passenger coming east collided
Blue Water, seventeen miles west of
Albuquerque, and Engineers Taylor and
Moore, Fireman Daggey and Oonductor
Moran were killed. Tbe fireman of the
special bad -a leg cut off. No serious
injuries to passengers are yet reported.
Both engines were demolished. A
pecial, bearing officials of tbe road, went
to tbe scene of tbe accident this morning.
A strong feeling is expressed here, as it
is believed tbe accident was the result of
criminal carelessness. .
Harrlaon Is Determined.
Washington, Jan. 24. Tbe Post
to-
morrow will say :
"There is good reason to fear Chili's
failure to promptly accede to tbe demand
of our ultimatum will lead to something
more than a mere breaking off of diplo
matic relations. President Harrison, it
is strongly hinted, will inform congress
bis message tbat this government
utends to force an ultimatum by means
of a naval demonstration and such other
measures as are required. Congress will
be asked to sanction everything involved
in tbis undertaking. .
Will Beply To-day. '
Santiago, Chili, Jan. 25. The excite
ment over tbe embroglio with tbe United
States is growing rapidly. Tbe Val
paraiso incident is the prevailing topic of
conversation, and tbe probable results of
war- are eagerly discussed. - While it
cannot be said the excitement has reached 1
tbe stage known as. "war lever," yet tbe
natural martial instincts of tbe Chilian
people are greatly aroused. It was de
finitely ascertained to-day that Senor
Perreira, tbe Chilian .minister of foreign
affairs, has sent the United States Minis -ter
Egan a formal notification that tbe
Chilian government will reply to morrow
to tbe note containing tbe ultimatum of
the United States government. It is also
learned tbat tbe British minister to Chili
has received instruction? from his gov
ernment to offer the services of bis gov
ernment as mediator to prevent a war
between Chili and tbe United States.
Her Identity Established.
Spokane, Wash., Jan. 23. There is no
longer any doubt in the minds of any one
here as to tbe identity of the woman who
gave birth to the baby, Ida Glydon, on
the westbound train Monday morning.
and who, when brought to tbe bospita
in this citv, gave her name as Mrs. C. E
Brant, saying ber husband was a Seattle
carpenter. It is now known almost to
certainty that Mrs. Brant and Mary
Kelly, of San -Francisco, whose stage
name is Theresa Ellsworth, and who was
recently a pupil of tbe actor Daniel b
Bandmann on bis ranch nar Missoula
Mont, are one and tbe same.
No Reward for Garza,
Laredo, Tex., Jan. 24. Mexican Con
sul iaz said tbis afternoon bis govern
ment bas offered no reward for Garza, but
would doubtless bake a band should lie
be captured and put him on trial. Then
the principal charge against him would
be treason, the report tbat n captured
by tbe United States authorities be
would be at once extradited is erroneous.
as he must first be tried in the united
States for a violation of the neutrality
laws. After his trial on such a charge
will be time enough to talk about extra
dition.
. The End Not let.
Laredo, Texas, Jau. 23. A iriend of
Garza to-day said he knew that Garza
did not intend to give. himself up snd
that he knew Garza bad not been in tbe
United States since December 24. It is
stated that the supposition tbat the revo
lution was near an end was erroneous, as
Garza had strong support from prominent
parties in Mexico, lie cited the arrest ot
General Neizes Hernandez as an instance.
thinks differently.
Washington, Jan 23. Major General
Schofield tbis morning received a dis
patch from Genera) Stanley, command
ing the department of Texas, in which be
states that be regards tbe Garza move
ment as ended.
A Fight In French Soudan.
London, Jan. 22. A dispatch from
Paris to tbe Times says the expedition
sent out by tbe French government
against tbe tribe Samory in French Sou
dan to 'punish tbem for acts of lawless
ness, bad an engagemeut with the natives
on January 11. Tbe natives greatly out
numbered tbe forces of the expedition,
but after bard fighting were repulsed.
The French loss was six killed and thirty
wounded. The natives left several bun
dred of their number dead on the field.
Killed In Their Beds.
Paris, Jan. 22. A dispatch from
Dieppe says tbe great rocks on the cliff
overhanging tbe western suburb ot tbat
town became detached by a thaw and
plunged down the precipice at an early
bour tbis morning, crushing through
dwelling-houses, tbe inmates of which
were all asleep. Two women were killed
outright. Twenty-five persons were
taken from the ruins, some badly Injured.
One man will probably die.
War Feeling: High.
New York, Jan. 25. General G. W.
Hyde, president of the Batb Iron Works
Shipbuilding Company, was seen yester
day by a press representative. General
Hyde stated that ha bad left Washington
the previous eyeniog. He had been in
conference with the Secretary of the
Navy Tracy. "I found as I left," said
General Hjde, ''the war feeling running
high. I am not at liberty to quote what
I beard in certain high official circles of
tbe government, but 1 can say tbe im
pression imparted was one tbat war was
inevitable. It bas become well nigh
understood tbat tbe Chiliaas are blind to
the result; tbat they are really anxious
for war, and tbe delay and tbe diplomatic
dealings are simply inflaming these peo
ple. In my own mind 1 am firmly con
yinced tbat unlets Chili promptly makes
the proper apologies for tbe outrages
committed we wilt find war oa our bands
in short order. There is not tbe slightest
shadow of a backdown on the part of our
government. It is clearly a case for Chili
to answer whether we make war or not."
General Hvde stated tbat he is now on
bis way back to Bath to hurry up the
work-on the three ships building at the
Bath works. "Tbe gUDboat Machias,"
he said, "will be ready for service by
July 1. and gunboat No. 6 three weeks
later. Tbe American harbor defense
ram will be ready for launching July 1.
Gnuboat No. 6 could be launched to-day
if deemed necessary."
Hore Chilian War Vessels.
Washington, Jan. 25. A startling
piece ot information nas . reached tue
navy department wbich adds to the seri
ousness of tbe situation. Tbe agents of
the department in Pans report tbat the
El Ctpitan Pratt is not tbe only Chilian
vessel preparing for sea at the f rench
shipyards, but tbat tbe cruiser Presidente
Minto is fitting out for service at a French
Atlantic port, and tbat she is actually
ready to sail. She corresponds to tbe
Montgomery of our navy, or cruiser No.
11 building at tbe Harruon-Lonng iron
works in South Boston, only tbat she Is
more formidable. She bas an armament
composed ot Canet rapid-fire guns, and
if sbe succeeds in getting away she will
make things lively in the Atlantic Sbe
bas a good speed and is altogether a
machine of war to be feared. Her guns
have not been mounted yet, but tbey are
on the wbarf and everything is in order
for hasty sailing.

A typographical error in yesterday's issue
made us say that Mrs. E. Jacobsen won the
first prizj as the best sustained character
at the fireman's masquerade bull. It should
have read Miss E. Jacobsen, daughter of
Mrs. C. Lauritzsn.
There was a case of assault and bittery

The large store and warehouse of
Grant, Fraine & Gray, at Grant, was the
only building destroyed by the recent
fire. It is very likely tbat Mr. Fraine
will rebuild as soon as tbe weather will
permit. This building was a great loss
to tbe town, as it attracted business from
all portions of the county.
A young boy, Walter Sturgiil, aged 6
years, was killed by the .motor railroad in

Tbe Harney mines will undoubtedly
create an excitement among gold seekers in
the epriog; but old citizens of The Dalles
have had too many wild chases after the
goose that laid the golden egg, to fall in
with every scheme. Undoubtedly there
are rich quartz and placer mines yet andis-
coyered; bat it is not advisable to place
implicit confidence in every reported rich
strike.
The new ding firm of Byrne, Helm & Co.
has been doing a lushing business during
the last few days, and the prescription
clerk is overworked in his department.
Tbey have lately addml a choice lot of toilet

our population with golden treasure and be

attacked andhia wife is also seriously ill.
It is hard lines, bnt we hope to note tbe
speedy recovery of all.
Times: Never was the prospect brighter
for any country than for the Harney valley
now. An abundance of water is now as
sured by the heavy snowfall upon tha sur
rounding hills so that there will be large
crops of hay, groin and vegetables raised in
tbe valley next year. This supply of water
will also enable the miners at the rich placer
discoveries north of Harney City to work
their claims successfully for several months
in the apriog. With a bountiful harvest of
farm produce and plenty of gold dust i'l.
circulation, there is no reason for this coun-
ry not enjoying a healthy boom.

Umatilla reservation, yesterday, while

as he was known to be engaged in sinking a

residence, and found him in tiie debris. He
was extricated, having sustained only slight
bruises.

Dillman & Co. will take tbe Lewiston sub
sidy list and real estate, amounting in all
to neearly $100,000, and advance the cash
to the Northern Pacific. Thrs news is

Ellensburg Localizer: Tbe raising of Bugar
beets successfully in this state we do i'Ot
think will admit of any doubt. There is
just enough alkali in the coil to make them
nourish and raise a good crop, the garden
beet does well, aud the soil that will pro
duce the one, will produce the other. To
raise our own sugar would prove a big ad
vance step.

gotten.
Spokane Review: It has been decided to
witbold from settlement thirteen townships

McClure hired a horse from Fred Harlaud
at Condon to go to Fossil to be gone a few
days. A day or two alter, Harlan,! was iu
formed by several parties, aa a joke proba
bly, that McClure had jumped tbe country

West Forks cor. Condon Olobe: Last

per Fork was burnt tbe same aight, no
doubt by tbe same beud. Had it not been
for Jas. Burbauk, who discovered tbe fire
about 9 o'clock, Zacbary's barn and several
head of horses would have burned also. It
was a well-laid plan, and as yet there is no
clue tbat is likely to lead to apprehension.
It is the meanest and most cowardly act
that has ever been committed in this neigh
borhood, and every honest, lawabiding citi
zen should do all in their power to bring
the guilty party to justice.
Mr. A. W. Branner, proprietor of the
line, came in to-day on tbe stage from
Prineville. He reports tbe roads in a ter
rible conditioo, and, in places, almost im
passable. The route by way of Antelope
causes tally five hoar's delay ia the delivery
of the mail at Prineville, and this would be
remedied if the route was by way of Bake-
oven and Cow canyon. Mr. Bracner says
the road between Bakeoven and Antelope is
very bad, and from the latter place to Cross
Keys, in places the mud is about two feet
deep and very slipperi. Petition after pe

Localizer: There is a lake about one mile
wide by two miles long some distance from
tbe borax beds, in Douglas county, which
has been a great resort for the Indians when
afflicted with ernptions or skin diseases of
any kind. It is reported to be very effica
cious in curiae all cutaneous diseases and
even syphilitic disorders. It is called by
the Indians "Big Pe Lake." The water bas
a yellowish tinge, bat is very clear. A per
son can see to the bottom of it where it is
thirty feet deep. There is something pecu
liar about it; tbe surface reflects images
equal to a mirror, and magnifies objects
many fold. It will magnify a child to the
proportions of a giant. It magnifying
power is wooden u l. our iniormant says.
The hand or foot reflected from the lake's
surface ia magnified most astonishingly,
Tbis lake has been osed by the Indians from
time immemorial and is still utilized for the
purposes named. There is no doubt tbat
from its healing properties it will be taken
op and someday become a great watering
place, eclipsing the famous Medical .Lake,

tion ot property according to the state
board should remain, while other contend

should be followed, and the findings of the
board ignored. Those who suppoiijT-WA" - '

tbe state, county, city and school disttct

rata system of valuation, say the mortgage)
should not bear a greater burden of tax
tion than the property-owner, and by reaies,
of this say, if land is assessed at a mini'
mum, mortgages should also. There were1
seyoral speeches made, and tbe matter be
