by tbe committee to wbich it was re

nations belonging to tbe .Latin union

Tbe committee declared in favor of that
portion of Montefiore Levi's plan which
reters to tbe gradual witbdrawl of all
gold coins ander tbe value of 20 francs;
also of all bank cotes below a certain
value. Tbe report concludes with a
statement of tbe American, Mexican and
Indian delegates with references to tbe
future action of their countries. This
statement is not yet obtainable. Tbe
American delegates regard tbe position
cheerfully. Tbe way is now cleared for
a lull discussion of their bimetallic plans,
in accordance with their original pro
gramme. A prominent opponent ol pro
longed debates is .Bertram uurne. a .Brit

curtail tbe discussion is to bring the con
ference to a close at tbe end ot next week.

Madrid, Dec. 2 Yesterday was a day
of tumult and apprehension throughout
tbe city. Thousands of men did not go
to work at the usual hour, bat waited in
groups on street corners near the center
of the city. Tbey were joined by crowds
of ' loalerei anarchists and rowdies.
Thousands gathered in Puerta del Sol and
began shouting against the ministry and
municipal authorities. Tbe police tried
to disperse them, but were repulsed.
Reinforcements were called, but before
tbey arrived most of tbe crowd drifted
into the side streets. At 2 o'clock the
crowd gathered, again 11.000 or 12,000
strong- Black flajs were numerous, and
many men were armed wito ciuos. ine
crowd surged up to tbe steps of tbe borne
office, shouting "Down with tbe govern
ment. -'Down with the city thieves,"
"Crush the upper 10,000." "Give us our
rights," etc. Tbe building was closed
and a call sent out for more military and
police protection. Respectable citizens
were thrown down and trampled or com
polled to join the mob, and several shops
were forced and plundered. When balf
way to tbe palace the rear end of tbe mob
was intercepted and dispersed by tbe po
lice, who broke in from a side street with
drawn sabers. The struggle lasted 10
minutes, as tbe men fought back stub
bornly with whatever weapons tbey
could find. Meanwhile tbe foremost
part of tbe mob reached tbe open square
before tbe palace. Tbey shouted tor
"justice to tbe poor," dismissal of tbe
ministry, and punishment ot tbe princi
pal officials who were stealing tbe peo
ple's money. A body of mounted police
charged upon tbem down Calle del Ar-
senal, and after " another struggle dis
persed tbem. Several persons were in
jored in tbe fight. Tbe ..leaders of tbe
riots were cantured jjurioz tnts dem
onstration Senor Sagasta, ex prime min
ister, rode by. and was greeted with
cheers from all sides.
Yoang .Editor Shot.
Seattle, Wash., Dec. 2 Thomas Hen
derson Boyd, editor of tbe Morning
Olympian, of Olympia, and one of the
best known young men in the state, was
murdered by bis wife at her apartments.
310 James street, at 11 o'clock to night.
It is thought tbe murder was premedi
tated, as the marital infelicities have
been well known to tbe few who are
aware of their marriage, which ' was a
secret one, and Boyd is known to have
bad a mortal dread of tbe woman. . Boyd
met the woman in Olympia three years
ago, wben he was mere as a reporter lor
tbe Tacoma Ledger at tbe constitutional
conventual. She had been an inmate of
a house ot in lame ltrrortiana inree years
before, and bad pursued a fast life in San
Francisco and other cities. Sbe appeared
to have a great affection for Boyd, and
they at tbat time began an intimacy tbat

She was ' a decided brunette and con

of a very jealous disposition, and it is

took ' particular pains to keep tbe mar

A. Hare Liberal Policy.
Chicago. Dec 2 There is a strong
and rapidly growing moral and religious
sentiment for the repeal of tbe world's
fair Sunday closing. Una divine atler
another is coming ont in favor of this
liberal movement. J H Thompson, sec
retary of World's Fair Sunday Opening
Association.bas received a letter from bis
eminence. Cardinal Gibbons, of Balti

himself as favoring tbe fair opening Sun
day, witb the machinery and all unneces

Work at The Oallesj.
Washington, Dec. 2 The board, com
posed of four army officers and three citi
zens, to examine tbe dalles of the Colam
bia and report upon the feasibility of tbe
boat railwav scheme win prooaoiy nave
tbat document ready at an early date for
tbe present session of congress. From
intimations tbat have been dropped
around the war department it is evident
tbat this board will not give such a glow
ing account of the feasibility ot tbe boat
railway scheme aa was hoped by Senator
Mitchell, and that possibly it may report
n favor of a portage-railway scheme. A
report in favor of a portage scheme will
not meet witb favor, as congress will be
very slow to do anything which looks like
engaging in the management of a railway.
This also operates against any boat-rail
way scheme, and the only thing left is
tbe construction of canal and locks, or a
portage railway to be built by tbe state.
A Suspension of I msu titration.
Washington, Dec. 2 Surgeon-Gen
eral Wvman in bis annual report will
favor the suspension of immigration dur-
mg the next year as a means of prevent
ing tbe introduction of cholera into this
country.
Work for (Congress,
Washington. Dec. 4 The second ses
sion of tbe 52d coogress, which begins
to morrow, is likely to be more remark
able for discussion than for action, prin
cipally because oi the lack of opportunity
for tbe latter. Tbe thing tbat will be
done ij to provide means for tbe main'
tenaoce of tbe government, and it is gen
erally believed-tbe regular annual appro
priation oil Is will represent nearly all tbe
positive achievements tbat can be cred
ited to the session. There may, however,
be several important exceptions. One ot
them relates to tbe subject of immigra
tion. Public interest in tbe subject is
stimulated by tbe radical suggestion of
the senate Immigration committee, tbat
all immigration be suspended for one
year. Undoubtedly powerful influences
will be brought to compass tbe defeat ot
a bill embodying such a proposition, but
it may be tbe great public sentiment be
hind it will oblige congress to pass tbe
measure. A strong ettort will ceitainly
be made to procure a repeal of the Sun
ay-closing clause of the world s fair act,
and it may be some action will be taken
to protect railroad employes from ' tbe
umerous casualties resulting from ou
scare devices to couple snd slop freight
traios. These matters comprise what tbe
best judgment concedes to be all the
probable original legislation on tbe pnrt
of tbe second session of tbe 52d congress.
Ccneernlns Kailroads.
Goldbndale, Wash , Dec 8 A com
munication has been received here from
the Denver capitalists, who recently
made tbe proposition to build a railroad
to Goldeadak', that tbey would let tbe
same rest in "status quo" until next
spriog. They say tbat tbey have the
money ready, providing tbe people of
Klickitat county will properly respond,
to put tbe road to' an early completion.
Many railroad rumors have been afloat
here recently and several strangers have
been seen at different times ib and about
Klickitat pass, apparently looking up the
topography and elevation of the country.
1 be resalt is, many surmises have been
made. One is tbat it is an early build
ing of a road over tbe Hunt survey an j
crossing tbe Columbia river at La Camas
and then running on into Portland. Tbe
Burliogton & Quiocy people are supposed
to be behind tbe scheme as this road is
known to want a western terminus.
Again, tbe Denver people, who are very
eager to put in a branch, are known to
be on good terms with tbe Burlington
people, and are possibly tbeir represen
tatives. Another rumor is that the North
Dalles real estate people claim tbey are
going to build a road via Glendale, North
Yakima and otber points to Spokane.
.-'A Tragedy at Jea.
- San Diego, Cal., Dec. 8 Captain
Smitb, who is under arrest bere for tbe
murder of George N. Neale, otTCoronado
islands, it is believed was several times
to-day on tbe.verge of making a confes
sion, but tbe jail officials cautioned him
to be silent. Tbe schooner Sandy bas re
turned from a fruitless search in tbe vi
cinity of tbe island, where it was hoped
to find tbe body -of tbe murdered boy.
Willie Silbery, tbe boy who escaped the
fate ot bis companion by promising to
conceal tbe crimetellt a graphic story of
the tragedy. He says ne helped Captain
Smith wash away tbe blood of young
fieale, which bad been spattered over bis
bunk, but shrewdly omitted to remove
that which bad spurted on tbe ceiling
overhead, leaving, this to corroborate bis
story, as be intended to tell on bis arrival
in port. Tberc has been some talk of
breakiog into tbe jail and banging, not
only Smith, but Indian Joe Otay, a.mur
derer whose trial ended to day, but up to
tbe present time there bas been do attack
on tbe jail. Tbe jury in the case of In
dian Joe bas just gone out, after a night
session devoted to argument. .
Brnsaed bj urn Elevator...
Seattle, Wash., Dec 8 About noon
to day Darius Horton. a cousin of Dexter
Horton, owner of the great New York
building, was killed by tbe elevator cage
descending upon hint as he sat in tbe well
oiling the machinery. He bad relieved
the elevator boy duiing lunch bour and
stopped tbe cage a few feet from tbe floor
in order to go beneath. The' cage was
either insecurely checked or Horton re
leased it in an attempt to raise it from
below, and it descended upon bis bead,
crushing it down between tbe shoulders
and killing bim instantly. He was not
discovered till the boy, on returning, saw
a band and arm sticking np by tbe door.
Tbe man's wife and daughter were in tbe
building, and were agonized spectators of
tbe efforts to get tbe crushed, Druised and
bleeding mass from tbe well. Horton
was a cousin ot Julius and Dexter Horton,
wecllbv pioneers, and a balf cousin of
Coroner Horton, whose painful duty it
became to investigate the cause of bis
death. .
A Mad Catastrophe.
Pleasabton, Cal, Dec. 3. A family
named Nickelson, consisting oi husband,
wife and three children, and tbe wife's
sister and a hired man, became frightened
at tlia rising water and attempted lp es
cape in a wagon. Tbey live on an island
in tbe Arroyo valley creek, about four
miles east of town. Tbey crossed tbe
main creek and, "going some distance
further, tried to cross a small branch.
Tbe wagon upset and tbe wife and one
girl were drowned immediately, ids
father lost his life in tryiog to rescue bis
boy and tbe boy was also drowned. Tbe
hired man succeeded in saving tbe lives
of himself, one boy and Mrs. Nickelson's
sister. Tbe bodies of Mrs. Nickelaonand
one boy have been found but tbe otber
two are missing.
The TronMe Exaggerated. -
Victoria, B. C, Dec 4. Reports sent
out by correspondents of the Indian
trouble down tbe coast are grossly exag
gerated. Tbe only particulars to band
are tbat tbe Nitinat" tribe of Indians,
having procured a supply of liquor, all
got drunk and became very quarrelsome.
Tbe prospect of serious fighiing among
themselves is to great that tbe police
telegraphed for, and a squad of specials
will, it possible, be sent down to arrest
tbe rioters.

Fossil Journal: Cal Hale and George
Zacbarv are not Sunday school scholars, bat
it is tbe opinion of tbe people up this way
tbat tbey are ahead of the motley crew that
came np here to arrest them, both in intelli
gence and honeaty. About the cleverest
piece ot work tne- "detectives nave shown
in the case wa shooting hole in irrigating

and cutting the wire on the fence of Fred
mle and ti. J. Caven, by shooting at tbe
wire where it was attached to the posts.
Tbey were practicing to get tbeir band in,

even the slightest show of resistance, tbey
