Union Pacific Information.
The following dispatch wag received at
Union Pacific headquarters at 10 o'clock
tbis morning, from N. J. O'Brien, Wash
ington saperiotendant:
Wallace, July. To R. W. Baxter.
Portland: The following order bas been
received from tbe provost marshal :
"Headq trs Idaho Nat'l Guard, J
Wallace. Idaho. July 15. f
"To the Union Pacific and Northern
Pacific Railwav Companies: lou are
hereby directed Dot to sell tickets or
transport passengers through the county
of Shoshone to day. This order bas no
effect in carrying United States mail
and express, and pat-senders under pusses
from tbe military authority.
Acting lor the governor
James F. Curtis,
Colonel Idaho National Guard, cum
mandiog."
WILL CAUSE NO DELAY.
Tbis order will cause no delay to recu
lar passengers, who, on matting proper
showing to the military autbonuee, will
be furnished with passports. The order
waf issued for the purpose of preventing
disturbers from entering the aiiected
districts.
A timilar dispatch waa received by A
D Charlton, of tbe Northern Pacific, and
the officials of either company will com
ply witb the instructions.
ibe following was subseqently re
ceived:
Wardner, July 15. ToR. W. Baxter
Everything is quiet ia Ccear d'Alene.
Tbe troops are in possession of all points
and tbe miners have dibbaDded. No
further trouble is anticipated. The
troops will probably remain here some
time. N. J. O'BaieD.
SPECIAL TRAIN ORDERED.
The Union Pctcinc officials bere re -
ceived word from tbe miue owners of the
Bunker Hill and Sullivan that they
wanted a special traiu to report at Tekoa
bis afternoon. An order to that effect
was then given out and the train is prob
ably now there. As it is to run up to the
mines from Tekoa, it is supposed that tbe
purpose is to carry tbe non-union men
back to resume work.
Will Not Give In. '
Homestead, Pa., July 15. In discuss
ing tbe situation to day, Hugh O'Donnell
said.' "We will fight this strike out on
legitimate hoes, and on the original placs
mapped out by the committee. The
Fiokerton incident has put a false com
plexion on affiirs and changed tbe chan
nel of tbe public's estimation of oar
rights and wrongs. Many people think
we intend endeavoring to maintain pur
position by lawless means. Such never
was our intention. Tbe workman's only
effective weapoD, boycott, will be em
ployed, and we will endeavor to strike a
blow at Carnegie every industry. It is
stated he intends starving us into sub
mission, we have not as much money as
he, but we are willing to fight him on
bis own grounds. Sacb assistance as the
strike at tbe Lawreoceville mills, and the
action of tbe carpenters in refusing to
work in a building wbere Carnegie beams
or materials are used, help as, and in that
way we will win. I will guarantee there
will be do barm offered non-union men
c ming bere, but I cannot offer the same
protection to Pinkertons, for every man,
woman and child in Homestead goes wild
at tbe mention of them. " Concerning the
chance Carnegie bas to start tbe mill
with desert ere from tbe Amalgamated
ranks, I will say that there is not a man
who will desert the association not , a
single man. There was probably never
such unanimity of opinion in a strike in
tbis country, and we will present an un
broken front to tbe end."
Thursday NiKht's Explosions. .
Wallace, July 15 Last night about 10
clock two heavy exploiions were beard
at VJallace. In a moment excitement
and consternation prevailed. A
special train was soon prepared on tbe
Union Pacific, and a company of troops
were marched to the depot. Tbe explo
sions were followed by a report that tbe
Gem mill and the Granite mill bad been
blown up. For some reason a fear
sprung up that the Northern Pacific train
would be blown up if it made tbe run to
Gem in the darkness, and a report wag
started that the white troops would re
ceive a welcome up Canyon creek, but
that tbe black troops would be blown
out of tbe canyon witb gian( powder.
As all troops look alike in the daric it
was thought best not to move tbe train,
and troops were marched back to camp.
Another report was started that tbe
mountains about Wallace were full of
armed miners, and that tbey were seen
moving about just before dark to secure
positions of advantage. Tbere was nothi
ng in any of these reports, but tbey
were incident to tbe situation.
Slarder In Kittitas County.
Tacoma, July '15. A special from Cle-
E'am says: Near EastoD, at 5:30 p. M ,
Richard Sea, an Irishman about 50 years
f age, was murdered ia cold blood yes
terday by J. E. Hendrick, a claim bolder,
residing on tbe east sideot Yakima river,
opposite Easton. Hendrick claims self
defense. Tbe men were wood-choppers.
and duriug tbe past spring were engaged
together on tbe same contract. Hen
dricks statss that Sea visited big place
early in tbe evening, presumably think
ing tbat be (Hendrick) was not at borne.
Tbe deceased picked up several tools
from outside tbe cabin and started off.
when tbe owner appeared at the door and
ordered Sea to return tbe articles. In
stead of doing as directed, S?a grubbed
tbe axe and made for Hendrick, when
be latter stepped back, picked up a
Winchester and planted a bullet in tbe
intiuder's bowels. Sea died soon after.
The murderer gave himself up and is
being guarded, pending the arrival of
the sheriff from Eilensburg. Sea bote an
unsavory reputation.
sTell Front a Fence.
Dallas, Or., July 15. To day T. G.
Bichmoad,an old resident of Polk county,
was accidentally killed at bis farm near
Dallas, r Wbile climbing a fence oo bis
place be was seen to suddenly fall back
and strike bis bead against tbe ground,
dislocating bis neck. He was carried to
toe nouse ana meaicai aia summonea,
but be died almost immediately alter tbe
accident. Mr. Richmond bas for yean
been well known throughout tbe valley
and Eastern Oregon. He was born in
Illinois in 1826, came to California in
1650, and settled in Oregon in 1853. He
leaves a wife and Bye children. He was
prominent in Masonic and Odd Fellow
circles, and was a member of tbe State
Fair Association. Tbe remains were to
day brought to big borne in Dallas, and
the funeral will take place Sunday under
tbe auspices of tbe Masons. Mr. Rich
mond was an upright, progressive citi
zen, and bis death casts a shadow over
tbu entire community.
The Arrests at Burke.
- Burkb. Idabo, July 16. Martial law
is vigorously enforced at Burke, and ar
rests were made by the wholesale to-day.
Tbe Federal troops arrived at 8A. M,
over tbe union Pacibc. There were
three companies under command of Cap
tain Bubb. Tbey were quickly martialed
into order, and detachments detailed to
guard tbe approaches to tbe city, and
even precautions were taken to prevent
the escape of the day shifts working in
the Poorman and Tiger mines. The
soldiers were stationed around the posts,
tnnnels and at different points along tbe
flumes. It was quite evident tbe intention
was to arrest those at work wben coming
up for dinner. At tbe sound of tbe
whistles tbe hoists began hauling up at
express speed. There were batch after
batch of miners from tbe 600 and -700
foot levels, glad to breathe one hour of
fresh air and sunshine. But tbey were
indescribably amazed as United States
Deputy Marshal Hullman informed tbem
they were seized by tbe strong grasp of
the law and were bis prisoners. Heavily
guarded, 76 miners, witb their wet clothes
and gum boots, were marched two deep
to tbe depot. They were not allowed
even to partake of dinner, whicb was
ready, though James Clark, unperinten
dent of tbe Poorman mine, appealed to
those in command to permit them to wail
for dinner and change tbeir clothing
I be officers were obdurate and took no
chances with tbeir prisoners. Even Mr.
Clark 8 nephew, James Casey, was not
privileged to make preparation, and was
compelled to share tbe discomfort and in
dignity of the others. The cltiz'-os de
nonnced m the strongest terms such
treatment of the miner?, and thought tbe
officers should have had discretion enough
to f offer tbem being taken to Wallace in
a more presentable manner. Several
prominent business men were also ar
rested. Among tbem were James and
Pat McClosky, Frank Murphy. D. Gard
ner, J. Tnggs and Judge Pulse. In all
100 were arrested and taken by special
tram to Wallace.
A Wrrck In California.
Baeersfield, Cal., July 16. A fright
ful wreck occured at 2 o'clock this
morning, resulting iu the death of two
tramps wbo were instantly killej, and
the fatal scalding of Brakeman Frank
Donnelly. Freight-train No. 21 was five
hours late, and, when coming into Bakers
field, within 100 yards of the station, ran
into four steers. Tbe result was one of
tbe biggest wrecks ever seen in tbis vic
inity. Engineer Ed Goble was thrown
from the engine, but escaped witb a few
cuts about the bead, unless internally in
jured. Fireman Fred Crosby crawled
out of tbe wrecked engine witb a slight
sprain. Brakeman Donnelly was riding
in the cab of tbe engine, and was caught
and badly scalded, tie was taken to
Sumner, bnt cannot live. He is a native
of Canada, aged 19, and a recent arrival.
Eleven freight cars are piled one on top
of tbe other, and tbe engine is com
pletely demolished. Tbe tender was
thrown completely over the top of the
engine. There were seyen carloads of ice,
one car of beer, two cars of canned goods,
one car of wine, and one car of general
merchandise in the wreck. Tbe balance
of tbe train was backed up to Glenburn.
Tbe passengers, baggage, express and
mail from trains No. 17 and 20 are being
transferred around tbe wreck. Tbe road
will not be cleared nntil evening. Two
tramps wbo escaped state tbere were six
in the party. It is supposed the other
two are still in the wreck. Tbere are a
large-number of people at the scene of
disaster. The bodies of tbe tramps were
removed to tbe morgue.
Tbe New Bridges.
Washington, July 17. Tbe action of
Secretary Elkms in approving the plans
of the Portland bridges is due to nothing
else than tbe fact that tbe senators and
representatives in congress appeared
before bim and told him tbat tbey wanted
bis approval. ' Elkins is the kind of a
cabinet officer who does not refuse the
unanimous request of a congressional
delegation, especially if tbat delegation
is as important in tbe balls of congress as
tbe three men from Oregon. Elkins bas
aid tbat it was unnecessary for tbe
Portland committee tocome bere, which
is true, as tbe bridges would baye been
approved anyway. The higher officers
n tbe engineer corps do not care to an
tagonize a state delegation, when one of
them is a member of the commerce com
mittee in tbe senate and another of tbe
rivers and harbors in tbe bouse. Tbese
are the facts tbat upset tbe report of tbe
board of engineers and secured the ap
proval of tbe plans for two more bridges
across the vVillamette.
A Mtevens County Fend.
Spokane, WnshM July 13. Sheriff
Hayden, of Stevens county, aod Eber C.
Smith, a lawyer and tbe editor of tbe
Stevent County Standard, published at
Colville, met in front of the Rookery
build. ng, on Riverside avenue, tbis even
ng. Sheriff Hayden was intoxicated, and
knocked Smith down twice. Smith then
retaliated by clubbing bim with a revol
ver and inflicting a long ragged sculp
wound on the side of Havden s bead.
Chief Mertz and Officer Davenport ar
rested the fighters, wbo gave $25 bail.
The quarrel waa tbe result of a feud, in
tensified lately by caustic personalities
regarding Hayden which appeared ia
Smith's paper. Hayden is a Grand Army
man and bas tbe sympathy of tbe com
rades bere.
All quiet In Wallace.
Wallace, July 16. Tbe steady tramp
of tbe military bas been beard all day
and about all tbe arrests ia Wallace
deemed necessary have been made. Col
onel Tbeaker bas command of tbe troops
in tbis city. He bas seven companies of
40 men each and be expects more troops.
Otber towns will also receive additional
companies. Tbere are -about 1000 reg
ulars now in the Coeur d Alenes. Some
200 prisoneis, including those from Burke,
are confined ia tbe buildings about the
military camp, and it will be quite diffi
cult to provide sleeping accomodations
for them. Colonel Theaker says they are
state prisoners, aod tbe state must pro
vide accomodations and food.
The Canyon
Under date of Wardner, ex-Mayor De-
Lasbmutt telegraphs The Oregonian:
"General Carlin has just informed me
tbat Lieutenant Helmick, wbo was sent
by him from Fort Sherman with a de
tachment of soldiers to search Fourth of
July canyon for victims, found 12 men.
Several were stripped of tbeir clothing
and bad been robbed of everything tbey
possessed. In addition to tbis tbey bad
bad nothing to eat. Tbe general thinks
many must have been killed and tbeir
bodies thrown into tbe river or otherwise
disposed of. A searching party bas just
been sent from this end to aid in tbe
search,"
An Inoffensive flan Fatally
Wennded by a Soldier.
Pittsburg, Jaly 18 David Lester, of
Company A, Fourteenth regiment, N. G.
P., stabbed Frank Calhoun with a bay
ooet on Grant street, near Fifth avenue,
Pittsburg, at 9:80 A. M. Tbe affray is
tbe outcome of a night's carousal tbat
Lester and Howard bad indulged in dur
ing tbe night. They were still drunk this
morning. Tbey went along Grant street
insulting every person that tbey met and
brandishing their bayonets in tbe facea of
passers-by. Tbey entered tbe room ot
Undertaker Bernsbauer singing, and were
very noiev. Bernsbauer ordered tbem
out. Tbis they complied witb, but re
newed tbe noise outside tbe building.
They defied arrest, but wben Bernsbauer
telephoned for an officer the drunken
men started off. Wben they reached
Devere's undertaking establishment,
wbere Calhoun was employed, the latter
advised Lester to be more careful witb
tbe bayonet be was thrusting about
Lester, with a vile exclamation, plunged
the weapon into Calhoun's stomach
Calhoun fell without a struggle. Lester
rushed upon bim again, but was cangbt
ov bystanders. After a bard nght Les

Fears or a Conflict.
Homestead, Pa., July 18.- Two broth
ers named McConneli, Englishmen, wbo
worked as foremen In the Homestead
mill, have not been seen for three weeks,
and tbe locked-out men believe tbey
have gone to Eogland to engage non
nnion men to take their places in the
mill. One of Carnegie's foremen spoken
o about tbe matter treated it with ridi
cule, saying tbere were plenty of non
union men in this country, and tbat part
of tbe works will be started by this alter
noon. Tbe tension between the strikers
and tbe military is increasing. Tbere
are many irresponsible, reckless men in
town, mostly with some sort of arms, and
an untoward event might precipitate a
conflict. Tbe military, white not expect
ing such an outcome, are evidently pre
paring tor it. A large additional amount
of ammunition has been received from
Frankford. There are at least 250.000
rounds of ammunition hure, and more is
expected. Another regiment was brought
over the river tbis morning, and it is
nnderstood three others will be brought
over day by day. Alt is quiet at the big
mills, and tbere is no visible evidence of
tbe indention to start up to day. Amal
gamated officers bere say they knov
notbing of tbe paper asking for aid said
o bo circulating in New York, and pro
nounce it a fraud. Railroad men denv
tbe truth ot the rumor that they will
refuse to handle freight for the Home
stead mill.
To Adjonrn nonttay.
Washington, July 18. The ways and
means committee of tbe bonse tbis morn
ing adopted a resolution providing for tbe
final adjournment of congress tho 25th.
Unless something uoforseen arises, it is
believed it will be adopted by both bouses.
This meeting about completes the work
of tbe committee tor this season. Tbe
policy of some of the Democratic mem
bers for a postponement of farther at
tempts at tariff revision prevented action
on tbe sugar, salt, lumber, iron ore and
otber proposed bills. Tbe improbability
ot anv additional tariff bills emerging
from tbe ways and means committee is
increased by the fact tbat the Republi
can members of the committee are not
disposed to assiit tbe Democrats oo tbe
committee to secure a quorum. Word
was received by tbe Democratic mem
bers tbat tbe Republican members would
not attend any seesiou of tbe committee,
except for tbe consideration of tbe ad
journment resolution. It was reported
to day tbat ibe number ot Democrats
make it Impossible tor tbe committee to
do anything. Tbis refusal of tbe Repub
licans, if persisted in, besides preventing
reports on additional bills, will render
m possible an adverse report on tbe tub-
treasury bills, and also on Dalzeli's res
olution of Inquiry witb reference to the
losses sustained tbrougb national and
through state banks.

Hungarians Are Destitute. .
Homestead, Pa., July 15. Laborers in
tbe mill, net members of tbe Amalgams
ted Association, made idle by tbe lockout,
mostly Hungarians, are absolutely desti
tute, and the strikers are now holding a
secret meeting to consider tbe question
of providing for tbeir maintenance. Some

We understand that Mr. Thos. Richmond,
former resident of The Dalles died in Folk
county yesterday. He is well known to
many old residents, and waa a companion
of Major Victor Trcvitt, wbo now lies in
bis mausoleum on Memaleuse island. It

Condon Globe: Tbe friends of D. H. Ward
made application to have him admitted to
bail a few days ago before the jastioe court
that committed him to jail for killing Jnbn
Looney, meutiou oi which was made 4ast
week. The application was granted, and
as soon as the bond was prepared, eighteen
of the responsible citizens of Cond n and
vicinity stepped forward aod signed the bail
bond as fast as they could sign it. There
was room for no more names, bnt many
others were anxions to go on the bond. Al
though the bail was fixed at the small sum
of $1500, the eighteen sureties justified as
being worth about $15,000, and are actually
worth in tbe aggregate about $75,000. This
is a straw tbat indicates tbat the people are
with Ward in this trouble. Sheriff Wilcox
will start to Tbe Dalles Saturday to release
Ward. '
D. C. Probaseo, who is wanted in Siski
you county, California, to answer to the
charge of commiting a cold-blooded murder,
has escaped- He was arrested by Deputy
Sheriff McConaba, of Areata, Humboldt

Norte county, at Cbetoo, Oregon. Mc
Conaba took bim down to Areata, a town
12 miles north of Eureka, wbere be begged
to be allowed to stop and continue the trip
next morning, and McCanaha being led off
by smooth talk, acceded to his wish. Pro
baseo told bim tbat he was willing to go
back and stand trial, and expressed regret
that he had not given himself up at the
time of the commission ot the offense. He
also said that be had no desire to escape,
and would not attempt it. McCanaha, it
seems, took bim at bis word and went borne
and went to bed, returning in tbe morning
with the published result. Notices have
been sent to every shipping point in the
country, to all the deputies and to eyery
place tbat there would be a possibility of
bis going, so that if he attempts to get out
it will be a bard matter, unless he travels at
night altogether.
East Oregonian: Three strange Indians
were noticed on the streets a day or two
since. Tbey are Bannocks, one being a
"big chief' of that tribe. Since the war of
1876 tbere baa been bad blood between the
Bannocks and tbe Umatilla reservation In
dians. Prior to tbat time they were very
friendly and engaged in trade, tbe Umatil
la exchanging ponies for furs and buffalo
lobes. Bat in 1876 tbe Umatillas took op
arms on the side of the whites against the
hostile Bannocks. Tbe latter's chief, Kan,
waa slain by Ten-e-ou-itx, and a force of
Bannocks waa driven ' through the Camas
Prairie country by a party of Umatilla
braves. Tbe hearts of each tribe have sine
been tamed against the otber, and there
have been no relations between them. - The
visit of these Bannocks was for the purpoM
of restoring peace and friendliness. They
were well received on the reservation, diffi
culties were patched up and the hatchet
buried deep. As is customary with the In
dians a number of presents was given tbe
Visitors as a token of good-will.

Waterville Democrat; The opening of the
Colombia river to the sea would be of air
most incalculable benefit to Eastern Wash
ington. Nothing would morecoudace tq
the prosperity of the farming industiy, its
mainstay. The importance of utilizing this
great natural highway at an early date can
not be urged too strongly. If tbe national
government is to improve, onr rivers and
harbors, surely there can be none more de-.
serying of recognition than tbe mighty
Columbia, which passes dirently through
the heart of oar great Inland Empire. Tbe
object is one which should be vigorously ad.
vocated by all Eastern Washington. Here
is where Uncle Sam's money should be ex
pended, aod not on Paget sound.

The Phelps Greek Water.
Hood Biver Glacier.
Th resort to force seems to be .the ac
cepted plan of righting all wrongs tbi sum
mer. Tbe cose at Homestead and the nearer
one at Coeur d'Alene emphasize tbi state
ment. Hood River has an example in a
mall way of tbe same thing, only ia oar
case it is not probable that there will be any
bloodshed. The diffioulty arise over the
water of Phelps creek, recently awarded
to the riparian owners ot said creek by a
decisioa of Jadge Bradsbaw ia a ( suit
against the Oregon Lumber company.
Heretofore more or lea of tbe company'
water procured from Ditch ereek has been
turned down Phelps ereek, bnt this baa
been stopped, all except 36 inches owned
by Mrs. Hutton, M. B. Potter and perhaps
other. This 36 mobe of water, it is
claimed by it owners, I tamed into Vhelps
creek, and Warren and othor riparian own
ers of rbelp oreek refuse to allow t e
water to be taken out The result is that
the ditches have been cat off from the creek
bv ooe party only to be repaired and tbe
water turned io agaio by the other. As tbe
matter stands now, each tide has mea em
ployed watching their ditches. If both par'
tie would quit quarreling, examine the law
on tbe subject, which is plain, and abide by
it, the trouble would be settled without
further ill feeling, aod substantial jastioe
woald be doae. The individual rights of
the riparian owner of Phelpe oreek have
not yet been adjudicated, which' com
plicate matter some what, bat we believe
an amicable settlement could and should be
made.
