- Washington. June if. In the bouse
to-day matters of great interest to Oregon
transpired. Tbe river and harbor bi.l
came in from the conference committee.
An agreement bad been reached on all
items except those for tbe Columbia river
boat railway and the Lake Washington
caDal, near Seattle. Blanchard, chair
man, moved for another conference, and
that Ibe bouse insists on its disagreement
to the two senate amendments. Hermann
was then recognized to antagonize this
latter motion, when he moved tout the
house recede from its disagreement and
concur in the senate amendments. This
motion took precedence, and w.is fol
lowed by a motion for a divided vo'.e nn
the amendments. The time allowed
until r the rules for debate was equally
divided between Hermann in support of
bis motion, and Blanchard against it.
Mr Hermacn occupied ell of bis time in
au extended argument for the works of
mprovemeut to overcome the rapids of
tbe Columbia between The Dalies and
Celilo. He ci'ed the bug s'rngcle of
Eastern Oregon, Washington and Idaho
for an open river to tne sea, and after
describing the uear approach tocompie
tiuu ot the works n,l the mouth of (be
Columbia and at tbe Cascades, lie slated
that tbe last remaining obstruction was
that at Tbe DaUcs rapids, for which the
amendment proposed an appropriation
for a ship railway. He britils reierred
to the various ecg'neeiiug appliances
now u?cd in Europe, by which boats
were lifted with tbcir cargoes from the
water to elevated heights. He 6'.iruri8cd
many in his statistics as to the immense
wbeut and wool production ot the couo
try tributary to tbe Columbia, and
equally surprised tbem when be referred
to tbe high rates for ran transuoitanon,
which be attributed to tse power oi a
single monopoly t mi pise on traffic
wnvu there wf.s no waterway competition:
A LIBELOUS PAMPHLET.
Hu bitterly denounced tha attempt cf
some unseen influence to prejuJiee ecu
greSdional action upon tbi, project to
open the Uolumbia, and relerred to a
hbelous pai'ipblet which was upon the
members' desks, which attacked the boat
railway scheme, and assumes to say thtt
engineers of authority denied that it
would prove a success becaus.- of short
curves; the mountains ot sand which
wouid deposit in ho deep cuis ot the
oad; the steep grades, at places two ncd
one Imlf miles long; because the track
wiil be ten !cet uuuer water during the
spr:ng floods; because a boat railwiy
cou'd not be constructed 'for twice t!.e
sum estimated by the government en
gsneers, and because a car could cot pass
around a two-degree curve. To confirm
this, the pamphlet stated a boat railway
iu Nova Scotia was located oyer curves
lees tban those at tbe dulles, but all tbe
woik bad to be'tbrowu away and a new
location on a straight line selected. It
was such an argument as this which Mr.
Hermann found carefutly prepared and
presented to each member of the bouse,
aud it was tbia wbicb aided the bouse
conferees to antagonize Hie senate
amendments,' and greatly embarrassed
Mr. Hermann. in his client to overcome
the evident opposition of the honse to
any ship-railway project on the Co
lumbia. blanchard's replt.
Mr. Blanchard, in replying to Mr. Her
mann, referred to the immense, sums of
money which tbe present bill gave to
Oregon, greater than to any 6tate, and
yet Oregon bad not tbe population of J
some eastern counties. Tbe committee
gave Uregou one of tbe great contracts
to finish the Cascade L'icks, with a large
sum which will about finish the moutb of
tie river, and bad agreed to tbe senate
amendment for a deep water chancel to
Port'and, with a liberal appropriation to
tbe Willamette river, to Coos bay and to
laquica, and be was amazed that now
the delegation should seek to load down
the bill snll more by demanding another
great contract for the Columbia for a ship
railway. lie referred to Air, Hermann as
one of the most persistent and successful
members of tbe committee, and one who
bad secured more than even be thought
was due to Oregon, in view of tbe greater
demands ot otber states.
WASHINGTON AND IDAHO BENEFITED.
ilr. nermann aeniea toat these suras
fir the Columbia were all for tbe benefh
of Oregon. He lusieted that these works
were Washington aud Idaho's improve
meats, as much as Oregon's, and that
Washington was even more interested
tban Oregon in opening the Columbia
river. He added tbat the Columbia was
oue of tbe cation's great -highways, and
its improvement wa& not a local benefit
to anv state any more than the Missis
sippi jetties were local to Louisiana, or
the Sault Ste Marie canal was local to
Michigan. The Columbia was a common
hignwav, along wnicn tbe states of the
Pacific northwest must find cheap trans
portation to tbe sea by boat. He remind-
to, tne nouse mat tue aeieat ot the
amendment would not discourage bim,
nor his constituents from continuing in
their demand for a permanent improve
ment of the ColumbU river above Tbe
Dalles, and that in a lew years he expect
ed tbat cocgrecs would agree on a work
there ot a magnitude and character tbat
would be enduring and capable of ac
commodating the great traffic, of tbe
future, and for all sizes of boats.
dead, whereupon the sergeant repeated
tbe blows, again felling them to the
ground. Not one of tbe commissioned
officeis who witnessed the deed uttered a
word of reproof, but calmlv looked on
while their subordinate indulged in his
brutality. The people gathered, and but
tor tbe rifles of toe guards tbey would
nave oouotiess assaulted the brutal ser
geant. As it was, loud cries of denunci
atioD and menace were uttered. Tbe
guard marched on over the bodies When
the military bad passed, tbe unconscious
victims were picked up and carried to
the hospital, where tbey remain in a pre
carious condition. Tbe facts have spread
through the citv, and everywhere the
cruel conduct of the military is freely
denounced. It is believed tbat a few
such outrages will undoubtedly result in

all be civilians.

confined to his bed shortlv after his re

possible the strain and excitement at

Two Tramps Stole a Hey.
Atlanta, Ga , June 17 Chariey Will
iams, 12 years o:), the graDdson ot a
wealthy planter, E. T. Wiliiam?, of
L'ncolcson, N. C , was kidnaped iu the
early part ot last March. Tbe boy, as
his parents were dead, lived with his
grandfather. Tbe bov drove to Lincoln-
son with his grandfather iu March and
became separated from hi in. Mr.-Will
iams made a search for him, but he
could not bo found. He then offered a
reward of f 1000 for the recovery ot his
grandson. Three weeks gn it was lound
that on that March day two traruos were
seen to pass through L'.ocolnsun with a
small boy. They were traced to Char
lotte, Raleigh and Norfolk. The boy
was found at a fruiutacd with one' of the
tramps and restored to his grandfather.

Death by filicide.
Stockton, Cal., Junel8. When the at
tendant of the receiving ward at tbe
female department of tho state asylum
entered tbe cell of Mrs. Addic Whetstone
this morning, a horrible sight met ber
eyes. Tbe occupant of the cell bung
suspended from the iron grated window
oy a leather strap, noosed around her
neck. The attendant with the atr
took down the body and laid it upon
bed in tbe cell. The patient must hve
been dead since yesterday evening. The
strap used by Mrs. Whetstone to take
her life was one of uiaav timilar ones
kept in every ward at the asylum to bind
violent patients. I tie patient, alter
noosiog the strap around ber neck and
buekling it close. Climbed upon the
window sill and tied the other end of tbe
strap to the uppermost bar of tbe grating.
Then she took a piece ol cloth about the
size of a haoukerc'iief an. I stufitd it in
hi-r mouth, presumably in order to pre
vent being beard should she groan invol
untary in the agony of strangula'ion.
This done, she dropped off the window
siil and was suspended with her feet
abnut two feet above tho floor. Mrs.
Whetstone was sent to the asylum two
mon'.hs ago from Los Angeles, At that
time she was beet on committing suicide.
She was kept in strap up to three dayB
ago. Tbe diseased was a native of
Ireland, aged 23. t

Brniat Gernutn Offleeaa.
Berlin, June 17 Tbe people of Ber
lin are again incensed by an act of bru
tality on tbe part of tbe military, show
ing that tbe reward bestowed by tbe em
peror on tbe sentinel who 6hot two un
offending citizens is producing its effect
in inciting them to similar outrages.
Ever since tbe .kaiser 'promoted aud
praised Lueck in presence of tbe troops of
the gurisou, it has been evident tbat not
tew private and non-commissioned
ffieers were on tbe lookout lor promo
tion tbrough the same course as Lueck.
Outrages and insults to c'uizens are of
almost daily occurence, and many soldiers
seem anxious to pick a quarrel with tbe
peopie in order to display their hatred of
civilians and attract attention In imperial
quarters. It has become dangerous for a
citizen to go near a sentry after nigbtiall,
or wbeu there are no citizens .whose
evidence might convert a case of what
kaiser considers heroism into a charge ol
murder. Apparently, by direction ot tbe
kaiser, care has been taken to select
stolid recruits from tbe remote parts of
the country for sentry duty ia and about
Berlin, and to ovoid placing on such Suty
any soldiers whose traioing baa been in
tbe cities. To-day tbe imperial guards
were returning from review at Temple
hoffer. As tbe guards were passing
through .Belle Ailranio square some
workmen in a hurry attempted . to cross
between tbe regiments. This is forbid
den by tbe military regulations, hut this
rale has often been violated in tbe past
without any attempt to prevent or re
prove tbe offenders. Sergeant Brevimann
saw in tbe incident a chance to distin -guisb
bimselt. He sprung from the
ranks, aud, using bis rifle, as a club,
struck terrible blows at tbe workmen.

New York, June 18. A West Indies
correspondent telegraphs that he is at
last enabled to confirm the news from
Caracas, Venezuela, about the overthrow
of Palacio. The verification has just been
received. Palacio bas retired from office
aud is in hiding somewhere. According
to one stoiy, ho fled to La Guayra, and
went aboard a vessel which was kept in
waiting for blm. Another account says
tbat be bas not yet left thj country. He
would have done so, but the members ot
bis cabinet would cot permit him. They
bold him responsible tor tbe trouble tbey
are in, and say tbey will not allow bim to
run away and leave them to shoulder all
the blame. It was a haid matter to per
euade the hot-headed dictator tbat bis
was at an end and tbat the only hope left
for bis followers was to protend compli
ance with tbe will of tbe people, substi
tuting a provisional government for tbe
dictatorship and to issue a call to con
gress to meet aud cbocse bis successor as
piesident of tbe republic. Paiacio and
bis ministers bad many meetings before
tbe Utter could prevail upon bim to
follow their advice. Defeat after defeat
weakened Palacio's determination, and
finally he answered that be would abide
by bis cabinet's decision. They said

Strenuous efforts were made during the

tbe information of yobng Blaine's death
was withheld for a time, said he feared it
would be a death blow to all the mem

dreadful uewa without preparation.

Sensational JHavder In Vu jlrande.
La Grande, June 19. Tbis city was
the scene of a sensational shooting affray
at an early hour this morning, in wbicb
Jim Palmer shot and instantly killed Eli

tragedy are about as follows: Mr;. Palmer
and a womau uained Montgomery atten
ded the receut camp meeting near island
City. While tbefe they made the ac
quaintance of two voung men, John Ott
and Eli Risen, of Island City. The ac
quaintance was continued ia a rather
indiscreet manner, the two couples being
seen together several times of late at late
hours. Tbe jealously of Palmer became
aroused, aud last mgnt, lying In wait, be
saw the four walking along tbe street to

fired five shots at Risen, three of them
taking effect. Palmer then dissapearcd,

Seattle, June 19. The following dis

rumors about a Ivncbiog on tbe JUonte
Critto road: Wiiliam Lyles, of Sauk City,
arrived in Sedro this morning 'and says
there was uo lynching. ' Tbe citizens of
Sauk, be said, were much worked : up
over the report of tbe murder, and there
was strong talk of sending a body of men
to help tbe Americans if tbere was further
trouble. The pack train driver, wbo ar
rived in Sauk from Smith's Camp yester
day, was besieged by a score of citizens,
who wanted to know tbe particulars of
tbe lynching, and wbo wanted to see tbe
body of Nelson, the foreman, said to
have been murdered. "I baye not got
bis body," said the driver, "because he is
working as usual, lue story oi
lynching is a hoax."

7000 pounds of merchandise and meant to
fill the remainder tf I he packs with flour at
Grangeville. This is the second trip made
by the train this season. The first attempt
to go in failed as the trail was not yet open.
It is tbongbt tbat there will be no trouble

The adversities of a country editor can
not be appieciated without one profits by
the lesson of experience. Here is some of
the tribulations to which the editor of the
Waitaburg Times bas been eubjeoted: Since
our advent in the cewspspor business we
bave encountered many adversities, some of
them sorely trying; almost intolerable. We
have had tho misfortune on more tban one
occasion to have forms plod; have had our
roller melted by a careless devil; have bad
our engine "go off on us; haye had belts
to break and governors to fly off, and once
a sow came along and bit off the end of our
roller just after we bad carefully washed it,
and while we were waiting for it to dry.
The latest and tbe worst was the destruc

Washington: One month ago the splendid
crop prospects of this country were serious
ly threatened by that abominrble pest, tbe
squirrel or gopher, but the farmers said no
and they meant it. Such a haying of pow
der and shot and strychnine was never be
fore known in this country, and war was
made in dead earnest. Most of tbe farmers
now report that tbey have the upper hand
of Mr. Squirrel, and that he is not doing
much damage. It is estimated that one
hundred pound of strychnine bave been
purchased for this purpose, at an average
price of $18 per pound, say $1800, and that
200,000 tquirrel have been killed in this
county, and that each squirrel would have
destroyed -and eaten one peck of wheat, or
60,000 bushels, which, at fifty cents per
bushel, would make $25,000.
Although the recent floods in the east
were not up to the limit of past years in
destructiveness, tbey may nevertheless be
considered as very expensive .luxuries.
Bradstrtet's, which is not given to exaggera
tion, estimated the total loss in the Missis
sippi valley this year at about $40,000,000.
Tbe New Orleans and St. Louis estimates
are higher, and including the losses which
Bradstreet's did not consider the higher
figures, toward $45,000,000, may not be ex
aggerated.. Reducing these estimates one
tourtn or even one-half, and recognizing the
danger that tbey may be repeated any sea
son, tbe condition is serious enough to de
mand that something be done by way of a
preventative.- At the present rate the
country will in four or five years pay as
much as it would coat to replant tne wnoie
upper valley of tbe two rivers with forest
trees and make the Mississippi a ship canal
to the sea.
