Tne Judge rew Weary.
New York, March 4 Judge Van
Grunt creatted a sensation in tbe Field
insanity bearing this evening. Tbe bear
ing has been proceeding quietly for
seven days. This evening Judge Van
Grunt suddenly interrupted the proceed
ings, and said : ''When this trial began
counsel promised it would consume but
five days and tbe prospects for finishiug
it are meager Indeed." "Gentlemen of the
iury," he added, rising, "you are dis
charged. For a moment ail was coufu
sion. The judge, with much delibera
tion, was putting on bis overcoat, while
the jury seemed too much surprise to do
anvthinp; liut sit still and wonder, men
Mr. Cochran walked over to District
Attorney Nicoll. and remarked : ''Well,
I'll be dammed." -'So will 1." replied
the district attorney. The Jude lett
tbe court, but was intercepted by
counsel, who, with many promises.
induced him to return. He did so only
to adjourn court until tomorrow. The
case will probably "be concluded then.
Judge Van Gium's action is almost un
precedented, and onlv accounted lor bv
tbe fact that the case having overrun the
limit, has compelled tbe judge to sit up
nights preparing for bis general term
work in tbe supreme court.
Canadian Action.
Victoria, B. C, March 4 In the pro
vincial legislature today tbe Hon. J. H.
Turner, minister of finance, seconded tbe
Hon. John Robson's lengthy resolution in
reference to the Bebring Sea fisheries,
urging tbe imperial government to grant
compensation to sealers for the loss sus-v
taincd last season, and to refuse toe
modus vivendi for another year. Tbe
Hon. Turner said there were fifty one
vessels in the province eogaged in seal
ing, forty six registered at Victoria and
five registered at Vancouver. Besides
these there are. sixteen now on the way
from Noya Scotia. The total cost of the
fifty-one now here was $400,000, and the
outfit annually required a cost of $160,
000. Tbe number ut wbite men actually
engaged was over 800 and 541 Indians
were likewise occupied. The Hon. John
Robson, tbe premier, said tbe time had
now come when the British Columbia
government must speak with no uncertain
sound and demand its full rights. Infor
mution was received by the government
which proved that the present season was
likely to be one of tbe best lor years, and
t would te extremely unfortunate to
have any interlerence with the sealers.
The Tunnel Accident.
Lockport, N.. Y., March 4. The
Niagara Falls tunnel accident Wednes
day resulted more disastrously than was
at first thought. Tbe company s con
tractors, Rogeis & Clement, gave out
that only one man was injured, never
theless five persons have . been kept
in tbe cilice of tbe contractors waiting a
call an case cf need. Robert Addison,
he injured man, bad his leg broken in
two places and bis spine dislocated. He
was taken to Buffalo, and it is feared
that be will not recover. The other men
were also taken out injured, but not
seriously. The contractors today denied
that tbere were any more men buried in
the debris Workmen who were em
ployed tbere state that' five men are
missing, and are supposed to be buried.
The workmen report that an additional
piece ot tbe roof fell last night, and
several men who were at work removing
tbe debris narrowly escaped being buried
underneath it. Tbe work of removing
the old timbers progresses very slowly,
and the bodies of the men, if - there, will
probably not be reached before Saturday.
Late Chili Siews.
New York, March 4 A Herald's Val
paraiso cable says: . "At the criminal
court's session yesterday the cable com
pany's employes testified tbat Consul Mc
Creery not only banded in newspaper
dispatches for Lieutenant - Harlow, f be
world's fair commissioner to Chili, but
also wrote several bimseif. tiince yester
day's dispatch I have bad further inter -
views with leading citizens in Valparaiso.
One and all said tbat tbe United States
would earn their utmost gratitude if the
American congress would appoint a
commission to visit Chili and investigate
fully all matters relating to tbe differ
ences between tbe two countries. Tbey
added tbat. despite all statements to the
contrary, Chili is desirous of maintaining
friendship with the United states. Mm
Uter Pedro Montt has cabled from Wash-
ngtoa bis resignation of bis post, on ac
count of bia election as deputy for
Petorca in tbe province ot Aconcagua.
Petorca is abont eighty five miles north
east of Valparaiso. The Chilian govern
ment will probably ask him to retain his
poet until bis successor has been ap
pointed.1'
The Way in Conxretw.
Washihgton, March 4. In tbe senate,
Stanford introduced a bill directing tbe
purchase of silver bullion and the coin
age thereof; referred to finance com
mittee. The bill directs the secretary of
tbe tieasury to purchase from time to
time sucb silver bullion, as may be of
fered at a market price not exceeding $1 .
for 371H grains pure silver, and to issue
in pay ment therefor legal tender money
of the United States, without regard to
tbe material of which it is composed. A
sufficient amount of sucb money is to be
prepared by the secretary ot. tbe treasury.
Tbe vice president laid before - the
senate a communication from tbe secre
tary of tbe interior in response to a re
solution of the senate directing a con
tinuation of tbe investigation as to
whether lands in Yosemite valley bad
been diverted from public uses contem
plated by the grants. - Tbe secretary
replied that no appropriation bad been
maae to make a proper investigation.
but from private sources he learned tbat
great encroachments bad been made on
Yoaemite Park. , . '
On the Heme Subject.
Washington, March 4. Tbe joint
Bchring Sea commission held - its final
eessiou this afternoon. After signing a
joint report, embodying a statement of
tbe facts, tbe commission adjourend sine
die. It is understood no agreement has
been reached on the main question at
issue, as to whether or not a closed sea
son and tbe prohibition . of pelagic seal
ing are essential tor tbe preservation ot
seals. It is said (be representatives of
the United States advocated a policy of
this kind for a limited period, and the
reprei-entatives of Great Britain opposed
Tberelore mere win oe two separate
reports npoo this point. Tbese will be
submitted to the board of arbitration.
In tbe meantime, tbe treasury depart
ment is making its usual arrangements
for tbe enforcement of tbe laws regarding
tbe seal fisheries. '
Conference of traders.
New York. March 4 It is stated that
the
this
leaddrs of tbe Republican party of
state held an important conference
evening, devoted to s discussion of
best means of achieving success at
last
the
at
tbe ccmiDg' national election. Secre
tary Tracy, Senator Hiscock, Chauncey
Depew, J. Sloat Fasset, Corneilius JN
Bliss, Collecter Hendricks, Postmaster
Van Cott, ex-Senator Piatt and several
others well-known leaders were present
A majority ot tbe conference believed the
renommation ot Preident Harrison prob
able, although a number of expressions
favorable to other candidates were made.
among them being Secretary Rusk. If
Morton retires, Secretary Tracy is re
gardsd as one of the strongest candidates
tor vice-president. It is stated tbat some
ot Piatt s friends propose to nominate
him foi president in order to show tbeir
confidence in him.
Assumed a Serious l'hase.
Washington, March 5. The Behriug
sea matter has assumed a most serious
phase, and public officials make no at
tempt to dirguise tbe grave concern at
the outcome. It was developed today
that Lord Salisbury's proposition with
regard to tbe present season was not only
to open the Bebring sea outside the
thirty-miie zone from Pribyloff islands,
to indiscriminate sealing, but to limit tbe
catching witbiu that belt. Including, of
cource, Shore's island, to 30,000 seals.
In the language of a prominent official,
this proposition "is wholly unfair, arro
gaut, and even insulting to this country."
It is contended by experts the opening ot
Behring sea lor one reason in the manner
suggested would result in the speedy ex
termination of the seals, and tbere would
then be nothing left 10 arbitrate upon.
Tbe news from British Columbia that tbe
sealing fleet i9 making preparations lor
unusually extensive operations this sea
son is coufirmed at the state department.
Inquiry has developed tbe fact that a
number were so engaged last year, not
withstanding the Bebring Sea wag closed
last year and patrolled by naval vessels
ot Great Britain and the United States.
The catch of the poachers within its
waters aggregated neaily 70,000 seals,
and it is this lact that inspires officials of
this government to a belief that the open
ing of tbe Eea to tbe extent proposed by
Lord Salisbury, admitting so many more
poachers, would inevitably result in the
total destruction ot the industry before
next fall, possioly before the questions at
issue could even bo submitted to arbitra
tion. It may be stated as a fact tbat
this government is not at all disposed to
allow this to be dune without making a
vigorous and determined effort to prevent
it. Unless Salisbury recedes from his
present position and consents to a renewal
of last year's modus vivendi, restricting
the caich of seals to such as are regarded
necessary for the natives, it will be neces
sary for tbis government to undertake
alone the protection of tbe seals by tbe
enforcement of the laws bearing on tbe
subject. Probably a special meetingvof
tbe cabinet will be held Monday for the
pnrpose of considering tbe subject and
deciding upon action in case ot Lord
Salisbury's insistence on bis last proposi
tion.
. Buffering; for Bread.
Vienna, March 5. Although report
of numerous deaths from starvation are
somewhat exaggerated, tbe distress that
prevails in the neighborhood of Rboedka
is terrible. The district has 1500 inhabi
tants and for the last few weeks there
has been an average of five funerals a
day. Tbe people have been reduced to
tbe necessity of living on the bark of
trees and the only bread tbey have bad
has been made from straw and- oats.
Tbey have eaten up all tbe corn tbat was
to be sold in tbe spring, and thus tbeir
misery lor months ahead is guaranteed.
The authorities sav that no such condi
tion of things has existed since 1845. An
appeal to Vienna has been responded to
generously. Monday nearly 20.000 florins
were subscribed, and Tuesday 21,000, of
which 15,000 came from tbe Kotbchilds.
But tbe applicants for bread have in
creased out of all proportion to tbe sup
ply. On Wednesday more than 2000 wo
men and as many men bad to be sent
away without food. Tbe demand has
become so great tbat the distribution of
food has been placed in tbe bands of a
legal committee especially appointed for
the purpose. Yesterday 7000 loaves of
bread were distributed to the unemployed
and the starving. Tbe Neue Freie Presse
received daily sucb ample contributions
from sympathizers tbat it has thus far
been able to defray all cost of tbe bread
distribution. Now, however, tbat Vienna
has come to tbe rescue, tbe relief will be
gone into more extensively, and tbe
suffering, it is hoped, will be shortly
overcome.
Some English Comment.
London, March 6. Tbe Standard will
say tomorrow : "Unless something is done
goon there will be no seals in tbe Behring
sea' to arbitrate. While this statement
may be regarded as an exaggeration, it is
certain that few seals will survive if the
close season should not be further re
stricted." The Daily News says: "The renewal of
the close season cost the government con
siderable compensation to tbe Canadian
fishermen, which we are bound to pay,
and apart from tbis we prohibit all Can
adian industry, and this 'the Canadians
regard as a grievance. Tbe whole matter
6hould be wound up at once. Tbe diplo
matic proceedings are too slow."
A Bow Near Eoxene.
Eugene, Or., March 6. A cutting
affray, in which three or four persons
were more or less injured, took place last
evening on Fall Creek, about twenty
miles east of Eugene. Two brothers
named Griffin have been living on a claim
owned by Walker Young. Tbey had
been clearing up tbe place, and bad en
gaged one of 1 he McBee boys to do some
slashing. McBee was to work by the
month. After working three days Mc
Bee gave up the job and claimed pay for
tbe same. This was refused by tbe
Griffin boys, tbey holding that be should
work tbe month out or receive no pay
whatever. This angered McBee and with
two of bis brothers be met tbe Griffin
brothers last evening. Some lively words
passed between them, and they finally
came to the use of knives all five being
engaged. Squire Kane was called and
started for the eheritf and a doctor. His
statement was that at least three were
wounded, one probably fatally.
Creat DIstrcsn In Vienna.
London, March 4. A special agent of
Renter's Telegram Company, who is in
quiring into tbe distress in Vienna, paints
a terrible picture cf tbe destitution pre
vailing in tbat city. Many bouses, be
says, with splendid exteriors give no sus
picion of their miserable interiors. Cells
in such bouses, he affirms, are found
crowded with starving persons, out of
work, and others earning only a mere
pittance. . Hundreds are unable to pay
rent, and exist in daily fear of eviction.
But io spite ofall this misery, there is a
total absence of evidence of vice among
tbe sufferers.
Ieath of F anions .1 arise
New Yobk, March 6 Edward Pierre
pont died at 0:30 o'clock this morning at
his borne, 103 Fifth avenue, after a brief
illness of nervous prostration. He was
born at North Haven, Conn., March 4,
1814, was a graduate of Yale, and was
elected judge of tbe superior court of
New York upon the death of Cbief
Justice Oakley. He was one of tbe organ
izers of tbe Union defense committee.
He was appointed minister to Russia in
1873, but declined. In April. 1875, he
was appointed attorney-general of the
United States, remaining in Grant's cabi
net until 1876, when be was appointed
minister to England.
To Boise Angora Moats.
Washington, March 6. Representa
tive Hermann, of Oregon, believes it is
possible the United States may secure tbe
partial revocation of tbe debt against
the exportation of Angora goats, and has
introduced a bill directing tbe minister
to Turkey to undertake negotiations for
tbe purchase of 100 or 200 pure-blood
Angora goats. Oregon, California. Ari
zona and other parts of the United
Staies, it is said, are well adapted to rais
ing these animals, and it is boped to. do
mesticate them in California first.
Another Merman Bread Klot.
Berlin, March 4 A number of unem
ployed workingmen at Dantzic, enraged
on account of being unable to find em
ployment, looted several bakers' shops
today, crying they would steal before
tbey would starve. Tbey also seized
several butchers' carts and distributed
their contents. Tbe police dispersed tbe
mob..
An Unfortunate Killing
Boise City, March 7. Full particulars
concerning tbe unfortunate killing at
Oreana of Sam j. Pr.tchard, deputy United
States marshal and secretary of the Re
publican state central committee, were
received tonight. It seems tbat Pritchard
had suddenly become insane, and be hud
by his strange actions badly frightened
his wife and other members of tbe family.
His father-in-law, Mr. Ulricb, besought
Constable William Fleming to arrest
Pritchard. and he agreed to do so. He
lound Pritchard in a store, and told him
he had come to arret-1 him. Pritchard
resisted, and Fleming commanded him to
throw up his bands, but be refused, and
thrust one hand into the pocket ot bis
overcoat as if to draw a pistol. Fleming
immediately fired three shots, all ol
which pierced Pntchard's body. He fell
dead. Fleming gave hirmelf up, but was
exonerated by a coroner's jury. He will,
however, be examined by a magistrate.
Pritchard was buried today at Silver
City, and had the largest funeral ever
seen in the county. Ho was unarmed
when killed, and Fleming is centured for
shooting too quickly. Mr. Ulricb, how
ever, says be, and not Fleming, is to
blame, as be told the latter Pritchard was
armed.
The State Commlssoners.
Salem, Or., March 7. At a regular

John Day Sentinel: The very finest qual
ity of Columbia river salmon are coming.
Ssveral have already been seen in the river
by the boys, who are now sharpening up
tlieir spears and getting in trim for the con
test. It is a little early in the season yet,
but a few more days will find them here in
plenty.
We understand that the Dalles City, on
her trip to the Lower Cascades yesterday,
broke a hog chain, necessitating her return
to Portland. It is a matter of congratula
tion tliat the damage was not as serious as
at first reported, and it is to be hoped io a
little while this superb steamer will be 01.1k
her usual trips from Portland to the
Cascades.
Arlington Hecord: County Judge Marri
ner and Lr. Blalock, of Walla Walla, haye
arranged to plant an immense orchard on
the low lands near Blalocks station, eight
miles below this city. Tbey are now plow
ing and leveling about 125 acres of same
and have arranged for its irrigation by a
large enrrent wheel. Tbese wheels have
proved successful where they ' have beeu
used. Fruit culture from lands of tbis
character havn'already an extensive reputa
tion. Major Ingalls arrived in the city yester
day, and will leave for Hood River Mon
day. He is canvassing for fruits and veg
etables tor the car Oregon on Wheels, and
will forward all contributions by express to
catch the car at some point in Ohio. The
major has heard of the exhibits from this
citv by persons lio have visited Oregon on
V heels in the east, and he bvs been assured
that the fruit and vegetables from The
Dalles are properly labelled. Any of our
citizens having anything in tbe line of fruit
or vegetables that they desire exhibited can
leave the same at the grocery stores of Joles
Bros. or. Leslie Butler, and they will receive
proper attention.
Io commenting on the report of the pro
ceedings of the McKinley club published in
this paper last Wednesday evening, the
Hood River Glacier makes the following
remarks; "We call the attention of the
McKinley club to tbe fact that club meet
ings this year have not been a success. The
grand gathering at Portland knocked the
schemers into very thin Ayer. As for Mr.
Farley's statement that the people of Hood
'Kiver valley wer opposed to county divi
sion, he states what be knows to be false.
Farley has a very large sized legislative bee
iu his bonnet: and has about as much qual
ification for the office as a tumble, bug lor a
scent bottle. He has not spent - twenty
four hours in the valley in six months and
knows nothing whatever of the feeling of
our people in tbe matter."
Here is another terrible warning against
patronizing outside institutions when you
can do much better at home. The Oregon
City Courier says: An expert mechanic of
'Oregon City who has examined the 36 set of
"steer voting booths ordered hy the coun
ty court from Barnard & Co.. St. Louis, and
the 36 set of "steel" ballot boxes ordered
by County Cleik. Johnson from the Mine
firm, says tbat tbe booth is composed of the
thinnest of sheet iron, and thst he would
be glad to make them at 36 lor the double
booth and $4 for the single booth, and as to
tho ballot boxes, they are llotbuig but tin.
which he would like to dup'icate at $5 75
per pair. The vounty pays for the booths
altogether $841, or (337 more than they
could have been made for by our own me
chanics. The connty pays for each set-of
boxes $7.50, or $1.75 or a total of $63 more
than they coula have been made tor here.
Total overpaid by county officials for booths
and boxes $400. O egon City mechanics
were given no opportunity to bid for the
work. The connty court advertised for
sealed bids for the making of wooden
booths, put when the bids were opened and
Ben Irwiu, Barnard & Co's man, came along
with his bogus steel contraption, he got the

Baker Democrat: Dr. O. M. Dodson and
Mr. Htnry Rust will, within tbe next few
days, tarn loose about twenty Chinese
pheasants on the Rust farm three miles
south of the city and it is desired that tbe
public will understand that tbey are not .to
be killed but rather every assistance should I
be offered to enable these beautiful birds to
increase iu uumber. The interest the gen
tlemen have taken in the introduction of
the Chinese pheasant in this section ought
to be a matter of appreciation by all. .

Arlington Record: It now appears that
the county judge of this county never made
or contemplated making any such order in
relation to the Australian ballot aystem as
they were credited with by the Condon
Globe. They simply declined an offer from
an agent for the sale of patent booths. At
the proper time they will arrange for tbe
full and lawful compliance with the act of
Feb. 13, 1891. Judge Marriner infotmt na
that the "official think factory" of tbis
county was in no way authorized to quote
them as it did. They will make the neces
sary order at the March term, which will be
ample time and the proper time for them to
act.

of the road. Mr. Sheridan will sign and
immediately send them east tor the signa
ture of tbe president of the Loan and Trust
company. Bonds for another five miles

Welcome: That was a shrewd scheme of
the Tacoma real estate shark who platted
an "addition nineteen miles from town.
He "mortgaged" the property to a friend at
the rate of $150 a lot, though' it is not
worth tbat many cents. His aim is to make
people believe that great value actually at
taches to land, though it is probable that
his swindle will not blind anybody. Hay
den got his pointers while in Portland
short time since. .
Tbe advertisement for proposals for

Mr. W. S. Cram, who has cond acted tbe
Columbia Candy factory tor several years

good business habits, strict integrity of

This is from the Elgin Recorder, and
one would infer tbat prisoners in tbe
county jail fair badly: It appears thst
the family of Berry Evans, of Looking
Glass, who is in tbe connty jail awaiting

ceny, is in a very destitute condition and
the county coort ordered Constable Tay
lor to supply ibem witn provisions at tbe

Washington will nave a cbance to meas
ure bis greatness. The time wss wben
tbe president of Harvard bad to scold
students, keep tbeir pocket money, taste ,
the soup at commons and answer all tbe
calls ot the parents and prospective pa
pils. Ooe of Dr. Eliot's greatest feats is
his organization of tbe new and big Har
vard in such, a way tbat bis distant con
trol is as affective as would be bis per
sonal presence. He bas given each
department its dean, each museum or
laboratory its director, and the university
as a whole able administrative officers,
who conduct the details with far less
friction than tbe old-fashioned president
ever secured.. . '
Representative Wilson, of Washington,
wants a new state carved oat ot the north
west. At present northern Idaho is separ
ated from the southern part of the state by
a chain of mountains, tnrongh which no
practicable pass bas been discovered, and
consequently when the oitizens of North
Idaho visit the south they make a loop into
Washington.and tben return back to Idaho.
The state of Washington is divided by the
Cascade range, running north and south.
Wilson's idea is to create a state out of the
eastern half of Washington and the north
ern half of Idaho, with, Spokane as the cap
ital . He sayi this stale would beat large
as Ohio and include the most fertile country
in tbe northwest.
C. L. Angel came down from Prairie City
Thursday for procuring assistance tor
Mrs M. A. Benton and family, whom he
found iu a suffering coudition in a lonely
house on Wiuegar gulcb, says the John Day
Heniinel. Mrs. Benton and her two chil
dren have been sick for some time, tbe
mother being scarcely able to get about and
attepd to tbe wants Of her children. When
visited by Mr. Angel they were all bedfast,
without a drop of medioine or a mouthful
of food in the house, and several milgs from
the nearest neighbor. It is sad to think of
the suffering this lady has had to endure
and the anxiety she hat experienced con
cerning her husband, who disappeared so
mystenously'from Harney last fall. If she
could even learn that be was dead, she says, .
it would greatly relieve ber from the sus

the latter cell, pushed the door violently
open catching Croner in the corner back of
the door. Before he could recover tbe pris

" . To Mount Hood.
The following beautiful lines to Mt. Hood -were
written by a young man, who viewed
tbe mountain from Portland Heights at '
noon while on a visit to that city, and was so
enraptured tbat long afterwards he returned '
to behold the scene from the same elevation
at sunset:
Thou priest of nature clad in snow
A garment lasting long at time,'
A pureness so immaculate,
A type tbou art of one divine.
I saw thee when the blazing noon
Revealed thy form sublime to men
Against the vault of perfect blue
At if the Christ had come again. . '
I gazed upon thy lovely brow,
Unkisted save by the winds of Heaven,
When sunset's flush did glory all '
Tbe opalescent clouded even..
You then reflected baok the tints. .
Of radiant rainbow's varied dyes.
While gently stole the soft impress
Of twilight's seal on smbieut skies.

"History of Oregon," aud the manuscript

remains to be reoeived a small portion of '
the biographical matter, wben the work
will be pushed forward as rapidly as possi
ble. There has been no delay in the pro
duction or this work. Mr. Hawthorne al
lows himself sufficient time for all his writ
ings, and the result of his labors bas called
forth praises from tbe best judges of litera

"Good wine needs no bash," and Mr. Haw
thorne's writings speak for themselves. D.
Appleton It Co., New York, and J. B. Lip
pincott it Co., Philadelphia, have been Mr.'
-Hawthorne's publishers for over twenty
years, which gives him all the finansial
backing he desires and perhaps the largess
of any author in tbe world. As much time
and labor has been consumed on the "Hit- '
tory of Oregon," it can bat add another lit
erary triumph to the name of its author.
