A Jail Break Frustrated.
Detroit, Feb. 5. Wednesday a dep
uty siierirt saw signs ot a conspiracy
among eight prisoners in the county jai
to escape. He was not able to discover
their methods of operation and their
tools, but it was found that tbe iron bars
in a window bad been nearly sawed in
two. In tbe cellar of tbe building are
three cells, called "dark holes," as bad as
those in tbe English jails which Charles
Reade told of. They are extremely hot
and close, and there are iron rings six
feet from tbe floor and similar rings
near tbe door. Six of tbe suspected
prisoners were manacled to these rings
yesterday, tbeir arms being stretcned
above tbeir heads. They were left in
that position all night. The torture was
frightful, and all ready to tell everything
this morning. 1 hey agreed tuat ueorge
Daily, alias Miller, charged with larceny.
was tbe leader, and tbe tools were given
up. Buck of the sink in ward six was
found a saw made out of tbe sbank ot
woman s shoe fastened to a piece ot
broom handle, and in another place
large jack-knife, tbe blade of which bad
been notched into a saw. Among the
consmrators were Charles Price. George
Jenerson and Edward Cornell, who are
awaiting trial on tbe charge of having
committed a daring burglary. One of
them was kept in a .dark cell until noon
today, when he fainted.
Chilian Affairs.
Nsw Tokk, Feb. 5 Tbe Berald's Val
paraiso special says: Judge of Crimes
Foster assured me today bis entire review
of tbe Battimore case occupied ten days.
I have rendered sentence npon Irena
Sbumada and Rodriguez," be said, "in
strict accordance with Chilian law. Tbe
only regret I feel is, there was no direct
evidence showing the immediate cause of
Kie-eiDs' death, although I tried every
thing in my power to fix tbe responsi
bility for bis killiug upon some one.
Tbe court of appeals, which will review
he action of Judge Fuster.wlll reconvene
next month. On all hides there are re
newed expressions of hope that there will
be a speedy resumption of friendly inter
course between uniu ana trie united
States. Since the loss of the steamer
John Elder there has been a great deal of
talk among - the residents ot this city
gainst tbe Pacific Steam Navigation
Company. Many people here, in view of
tbe approach of tbe world a fair, de
sires to see a line ot American steam
ships between Valparaiso and Panama,
or direct to San Francisco. Some are
even in favor of traffic with New York,
by way of Argentine and Uruguay ports.
There seem no doubt of an opening to
one American line along tbe Chilian coast.
Springer's Policy.
Washington, Feb. 5. The .Springer
olicy of attacking tbe Republican bigb
tariff by separate bills bas found an in
dorsement from the great political econo
mist and father of tariff reform, Hon.
David A. Wells, of Connecticut. At
the next conference ot the Democratic
members of the ways and means a letter
will be - read, not only indorsing the
Springer policy as the wisest party course
at this time, but intimating even if tbe
Democrats controlled both bouses of
coDgress and tbe executive, the separate
bill plan, ratber tban a measure ior
general revision, would be tbe wiser
course. That tbis gentleman, whose
works and essays for years have served
as the chief Democratic literature in tbe
agitation for tariff reduction, should ap
prove tbe plan now adopted oy toe
Democratic ways and means committee.
naturally a source of great eratincation
to Springer and the other members of the
bouse who bave stood as advocates ot a
separate bill policy, as opposed to tbe
demand for an attempt at a general re
vision .
Stolen By Xmdians-
Pbescott, A, T-, Feb. 5 A sensational
report reached here today from Varde
Valley, to the effect that two Indians
passed there yesterday, going in the di
rection of San Carlos, having in captivity
white girl, 16 years old, whom they bad
stolen from near Flagstaff. Captain Jack
son, who brought word to Prescott, is an
old and reliable citizen of this country.
He states tbe girl and ber captors
stopped at a ranch and tbe girl was per -
mitted to go into tbe bouse to get some
thing to eat, when she told . ber story.
imploring to be rescued. As there was
one at tbe bouse except a boy be
could render no assistance, but as soon as
they left be gave tbe alarm to tbe neigh
bors, who organized a posse for tbe pur
pose of pursuit, fjmcerg trom i) lagstan
reached there soon afterwards, and it is
thought her rescue will soon be effected.
The Whaleback at Sam Francisco,
San Fbancisco, Feb. 5. The whale-
back steamer Charles W. Wetmore, which
made a voyage around Cape Hora with
cargo of machinery from Wilmington,
Del., for Seattle, .Wash., arrived yesterday
with a cargo of coal for tbe Oregon
mprovement Company which she will
unload here. It is stated that some of
bet plates were bent in collision with
steamer at Seattle a week ago, and
that it became necessary to unload a
portion of tbe cargo at Port Townsend
before proceeding. Tbe damage, bow-
ever, was easily repaired. It is under
stood the steamer will continue in tbe
coal trade on tbis coast.
Criticism In Official Circles-
Washington, Feb. 5. Tbe state de
partment bas received no cable message
for several days, the last one being a
simple acknowledgement tbat be bad
received Secretary Blaine's cablegram
that Chili's apology was accepted by tbe
United States. . The department expects
to hear from bim officially as to tbe result
aunounced in tbe press dispatches from
Santiago, tbat Judge of Crimes Foster
had announced the finding in tbe Balti
more sailors assault case. The sentences.
as contained in tbe press dispatches are
thought to be quite light, and the fact
that no one is held responsible for
iggin's death proyokes some criticism
in official circles.
tm The JVrcnch Sondan.
Paris, Feb. 5. Advices have been re
ceived here from St. Louis, in Senegal,
bowing tbat tbe French expedition,
under the command of Colonel Humbert,
bad further engagements with tbe forces
of Chief Samory in the French Soudan
Tbe French bave stormed tbe fortified
villages, Skenankoro and Eeronane held
tbe natives, and completely routed
tbe enemy. One Soabi wad killed and
two wounded. Colonel Humbert found
tbe country rich and fertile.
Beer Is Not Spirituous Liquor.
Helena, Mont., Feb. 5. Beer is not
pirituous liquor, according to a decision
rendered today by Jndge Snowies,
United States district judge. This is an
original ruling by a Federal court on tbis
subject. Of the state courts that bave
passed upon toe question, tnose ot JNew
Hampshire, West Virginia andTennessee
bave agreed with the judge s ruling made
today, while the court ot Nortb uaro
lina and one court in New York have
held to tbe contrary. The case on trial
was that of a man wbo sold a bottle of
beer to an Indian on the Crow reserva
tion. He was discharged. The Federal
statues provide a penalty for selling
spirituous liquor or wine to an Indian on
a reservation.
The Present House.
Washington, Feb. 6. The mugwump
papers and nearly all the papers which
supported Mills in bis contest for speaker
have been pounding the Democratic
house on tbe back for some time past be
cause of its inactivity in tbe matter of
settling down to work. The house bas
simply done nothing thus far except to
adopt tbe rules and hear some obituary
oratory. It might be added to tbis also
tbat tbe time bas been found to abuse
Reed and other Republican leaders in the
last congress, and for the wholesale de
nouncement of tbe last congress and
what it accomplished ; but aside from
this nothing has been done. It now ap
pears that not only tbe mugwump ca
pers, but also those regular rabid Demo -
cratic journals, which accept Dave Hill
and Ins platform as gospel, are complain
ing that nothing is being done. Tbey
intimate gently that it would
be a good thing to try and hurry
up business a little, and adjourn at some
early date. It is almost an absurd thing
now to talK abnnt adjournment. JNobody
could guess within tbree months of tbe
time this congress might adiourn. From
tbe way it is going on now it can scarcely
get through by election day, and even in
tbat time it will accomplish nothing,
There is no danger for tbe Republicans in
tbe continuation of this congress in sess
ion. Jivery day the Republican party
grows stronger, as the policy of tbe
Democratic bouse becomes apparent.
ibe majority is so large and unwieldy
tbat it cannot keep itself together, and
tbere are bickerings between the leaders,
who last session joined in one wholesale
howl against the Republican congress
and its leading men. Tbe split in the
party bas not healed, and it is extending
tar beyond Washington and into tbe
states preparing to elect delegates to tbe
Chicago convention. The Democrats, or
hose wbo have anv sense, iear tbe result
ot this congress upon tbe country, and
treely say if anything can elect a Repub
lican president the present Democratic
bouse can do it.
Brother and Sister.
Hubon, S. D., Feb. 6, In 1882, H. W.
Williams came here from Illinois. He
remained "until the following spring.
when he went farther west, accumulated
some money and went to Chicago, where
he is now engaged in tbe leather business.
Williams' parents lived near Springfield,
The father was killed in tbe battle
of Corinth, just after bis wife had given
birth to a girl baby. The shock broke
ber down, and she and her babe went to
San Francisco to live with Mrs. Todd, a
half-sister, leaving young Williams in
care of a family, which eventually adopt-
bim. Mrs. Williams died and tbe
girl became known as Helen Williams
Todd. Intimate friends of Mrs. Todd
removed from San Francisco to Chicago,
and during tbe winter of 1888 she and
ber adopted daughter, Helen,, visited
hem. At a reception Williams and Mi si
fodd met. Tbe acquaintance ripened
rapidly and there were nequent ex
changes of letters. Tbis went on for two
years, when Miss Todd went to .Chicago
to live with friends on Drexel boulevard,
ber foster-mother ' having died. The
friendship between Williams and herself
budded into love and blossomed into an
engagement, and tbe date for the wed-
mg was set. A few days before tbe
event was to take place Miss Todd was
looking over a package of old
papers left by ber foster
mother. These letters gave a faint clew
to her brother, and she turned them over
to her betrothed and asked bis assistance.
An old fashioned photograph ot bis.
mother was in bis possession, and
further research "showed tbat tbe two
were brother and sister.
A Hotel Holocaust.
i New York, Feb. 7. A disaster, appal
ling in horror, and bringing to mind tbe
terrible occurrence in Park Place, still
fresh in the public mind, occurred in
tbis city early tbis morning. The Hotel
Royal, tbat well known landmark, which
bas stood for more than a quarter of a
century at tbe southeast corner of Sixth
avenue and Fortieth street, burned to the
ground and a large number of persons
were burned, suffocated and crushed in
the ruins. At the time ot tbe disaster
tbere were nearly 150 guests in the house.
The hotel employes, all told, numbered
fifty -fiye. Of the 150 people, five have
thus far been found dead, six are
in the hospital and sixty three have
been reported alive. One tfundred are
still missing. Tbe number of dead will
probably not exceed, at a later estimate,
thirty. Tbe scenes were heartrending,
and appalled even the firemen and police
men, wbo are used to such sights. Soon
after the fire broke out, ambulances
arrived from tbe various hospitals, and
many physicians, whose residences are
in tbe neighborhood, were quickly on tbe
scene, and did all tbey could to relieve
the injured. Nearly every one of tbe
134 rooms, wbich the hotel bad on' its
five floors, was occupied last night by
guests, many of them transients. In fact
all the rooms, save four, bad been taken
at 1 o'clock this morning, when Richard
Meares, tbe proprietor, went to bed.
When the flames burs' forth from some
unknown origin, near the elevator shaft,
tbe entire building was instantly en
veloped in flames. '
Blaine Has Spoken.
" Washington, Feb.. 7 Secretary James
G. Blune bas finally spoken. Under date
of yesterday be has written Chairman
Clarkson, of the Republican national
committee, formally announcing be is
not a candidate for tbe Republican presi
dential nomination. Tbe full text of bis
letter isr
"I am not a candidate for tbe pre
sidency, and my name will not go before
the Republican national convention for
nomination. I make tbis announcement
in due season.. To those wbo bave
tendered me tbeir support I owe sincere
thanks, and am most grateful for tbeir
confidence. Tbey will, I am sure, make
an earnest effort in tbe approaching con
test, which is rendered especially im
portant by reason of industrial . and
financial policies of tbe government
being at stake. Tbe popular decision
on these issues is of great moment, and
will be of far-reaching consequence."
Convicted of Hanslaua-hter.
Nokth Yakima, Wash., Feb. 6. The
superior court, Judge Graves presiding,
started yesterday on tbe case of tbe state
vs. Allan Satwell, an Indian, who is
charged with having murdered another
Indian in the Yakima bop fields last
September. The murder was due to a
drunken row, and the defense of Satwell
was tbat another siwash did the stabbing,
which resulted in death. Twenty-three
witnesses were summoned and they all
brought tbeir families and friends aloDg
and are encamped in tbe courthouse
grounds, presenting a very picturesque
appearance, and giving those wbo are un
acquainted to tbe red man, an idea tbat
a grand Indian council or pow-wow is in
progress. The jury, after being out eigbt
hours, brought in a verdict of man -
slaughter. Judge Graves will sentence
tbe prisoner Monday.
Harrison's Chili Ultimatum severely
Condemned.
London, Feb. 8. The Santiago corre
spondent of the London Times has sent
the following to bis paper; "Printed and
written accounts now arriving here con
firm the deep impression caused in all
tbe Spanish and Portuguese speaking re
publics by the action of tbe United
States government against Chili. Tbey
regard it as an outrage and declare tbat
tbe illusions tbey have hitherto bad re
specting tbe great Northern .republic
bave vanished. Tbe legitimate influence
of tbe United States bas been destroyed.
and in future the Houtn American repub
lics must look for protection and mutu
ality of interests, both commercial and
political, only among themselves. Mr.
Blame seems to bave foreseen and
dreaded this impending destruction of his
pan American policy by tbe unwarranted
ultimatum sent toChili. Consequently,
be is throwing tbe entire responsibility
on President Harrison. Private advices.
wbich will be made public, now declare
beyond a doubt this immense change
marks the occurrence of an epoch in the
history of tbe two Americas."
- A Perilous Journey.
New York, Feb. 8. Captain James
Monaban, who for over thirty years bas
been a resident of Canarsie, and for
twenty years of tbat time has followed
tbe sea for a living, will start early to
morrow morning on a perilous journey.
Some time ago Captain Monaban declared
to some friends tbat he intended to cross
the ocean, and when questioned as to
how be proposed to make the ioujney.
surprised them by answering: "in i
boat built by myself. It is too ex pen
sive to pay tor tbe trip." Tbe boat is
sixteen feet long and two feet wide, and
is so rigged as to make its management
an easy task. A small cabin is covered
with canvas, which is intended to protect
the provisions from an angry sea. There
is room enough to carry food sufficient
for 100 days, but tbe captain expects to
make tbe journey in sixty. The wood
used in tbe construction of tbe boat is
entirely cedar. The captain will meet
bis friends at 8 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing at tbe Myrtle Club house. He will
then go to Canarsie, board bis boat and
start on bis perilous journey.
- Our Exports Increasing;.
Washington, Feb. : 6. Mr. Gosling,
the British minister to Guatemala, recent
ly addressed a series of questions to tbe
British consular officers in tbat state,
with a view of ascertaining what amount
of truth there was in the report

as a compromise to hold tbe parliament
ary party together by bis continuing in

perienced the pleasing sensation of having
runaway teams while out npon hugging ex

Mind-readers are having quite a run in
Eastern Oregon, and their performances are
extensively patronized in many interior

and gambling, we are not folly convinced. (
Until such times as its efficacy in this re
gard is proved we shall look at mind-read,

Baker City Blade: The coarse being pur
sued by the Democratic congress makes it
very evident that nothing can be expected
in the way of an appropriation to aid in
oyetooming the obstructions to the naviga
tion of the Colombia river, a matter so vital
to the interests of the great Inland Empire.
Congress has now been in' session two.
months and has accomplished nothiug, the
time having been spent in monkeying with
the acts of tbe last congress, in their wild
endeavor to possess themselves ot vantage
ground, by which they hope to gain favor
with the masses. They are consuming val
uable time, for which the country will.bold
them responsible. Oregon and Washington
demand an open river, and an open river
they must . be, and an" open river tbey
most have, and all opposition ' bad better
stand from under. Let the governor call
the legislature together and let the people
demand of it an appropriation for tbe relief .
of this great inland country. The legisla
ture would hardly dare refute it
