(fresham the Man.
Washington, Feb. 10 There i
general belief bere now tbat the rumored
appointment of Judge Gresham as secre
tary of state will prove a fact. In con -
nection with tt is coupled the statement
tbat during Mr. Cleveland s term be ex
pects to have one or more so pre me. court
vacancies to fill, and tbat Gresham will
be placed on tbe supreme bench. By
tbat time tbe Behring sea matter will
be adjusted, aDd Cleveland can tben fol
low bis first inclinations and make E. J.
PheluB. of Vermont, secretary of state
It is ffenerallv understood amoDgr Re
publicans th .t Harrison named Judge
Jackson for tbe supreme bench in order
to prevent Cleveland from gi-ing tbe
place to Gresbam. United btates sena-
tors of both sidi s were questioned today
as to whether Gresbam could be con
firmed, and it developed tbat be would
urnbably be. The Republicans would
not feel like extending Harrison's fight
asaiost Gresham, and Cleveland has
enough men on tbe Democratic side to
make the. confirmation sure. Tbe seem
mglv sure cabinet plans now are': 'Grfcsh
am lor secretary ol Btate or attorney
general; C.rlisle, treasure; Lament, war.
and Hoke, of Georgia, for the interior de
partment, the last being at tbe request of
Henry Villard. There is also authority
for saying tbat Villard has already been
promised tbe German mission.
"ProfonndeHt train."
London, Feb, 10 Tbe Fans corre
spondent of tbe Times says of tbe sen
fences in the Panama case: Pans records
this cruel judgment witb a feeling of
profound pain. Nobody would volunteer
to maintain tbat the outdoor clamor has
invaded tbe supposed icviolable sanct
nary of justice. If eyer there was a case
which appea'ed to the pity and indul
gence of the judges, It was tbat of Fer
dinand and Charles du Lesseps and M.
Fontane, whose main offense was that
they followed a chimera, forgetting the
Teality of things, the passions of men.
and the msumcency of the means" at their
disposal to overcome tbe; most formida
ble natural obstacles.
A CRUEL JUDGMENT.
The judgment is sailed witb the
cruelty which characterizes tho present
campaign. It strikes at a man who torm
erly was claimed as the representntive of
French genius, energy and greatness
How all but a corpse, as bis council re
marked today, we may speak of De Les
seps as if entombed. The judges thought
that their coup de theatre would appeal
to tbe unrelenting imagination of the
populace. Tbcy have, in fact, secured
unenviable immortality as the judges of
Ferdinand de Lesseps. Pardon is certain
to be granted to him, but if cognizant
even of tbis be would suffer as much
from clemency as from condemnation.
threat !jiold Bond Issue.
Nkw'Tork, Feb. 10 A Washington
special says: Secretary Foster is now is
suing bonds in order to replenis tbe
gold stock In tbe treasury.
Tbe issue is upon the authority con
taiued in section 5 of the resumption act,
and over S50.000.000 Is to be issued. It
is tbe purpose of tbe department to have
tbe bonds issued and the gold in their
DOtsessjpo belore the ie.suttis-m?de, there
fore Secretary Foster will not give out
the facts.
Starting with $50,000,000 tbe plan
contemplates tbe issue of as much mote
as the circumstances demand, even up to
tbe limit of tbe entire amounts of cut-
standing greenbacks.
Crlslsfln Nicaragua-
Managua, Feb, 10-:A financial crisis'
is imminent in this republic. In refer

Comercio,ot Leon a, says: "For reasons
et unknown tbe bank of Nicaragua
closed its agencies at Rivas, Masaya and
Chinendiga, and win also shortly close
tbe brancoesat Greytown and Mataoulna
and go into liquidation, refunding to the
shareholders their capital ." . Tbe same
paper is also responsi oie for tbe state
meet that as Boon as tbe agencies were
closed the exchange of notes ceased, oc
casioning serious loss to holders, who
were compelled to dispose of them at a
discount to brokers.

which apparently belonged to a large

Walla Walla, Feb, 11. The libel

who asks for $25,000 damages for tbe
publishing of an article in 1890 wbicb
llesed mat sue atiempceu iu poisuu uer
insband. is oto trial in tbe superior court.
This is the same woman who commenced
milar suits agarnat the Union Journal
and Spokane and Seattle papers. In ber
testimony today Mrs. Keames said tnat
while she was damaged in health and
reputation to some extent by the publi
cation of the articlts published by other
papers,' tbe greatest damage sustained
was tbrongb the Statesman article. She
i also testified tbat previous to tbe pub -
lishing ot these articles she moved in

cm ulated throughout tbe state she Was
I ostracised from society and was also pre
vented lrom securing positions whereby
she could learn a livelihood.
Accident in a Quarry. -
Rutland, Vt., Feb. 11 One of the
worst d satters in tbe history of marble
quarrying occured at West Rutland a lit'
tie after 1 o'clock tbis afternoon jn tbe
quarry operated by tbe Vermont Marble
Company. A great mass of stone fell
into tbe quarry, and seven men were in
stantly killed and a number of others se
riously wouuded. The victims were
crushed so that some could not be rec
ognized. The killed and injured were
Killed William .Lukes, Frank bulig,
Edward Powers, Alexander Blumquist
and three unrecognized men.
Iniured James Dooley, John Dunn,
Charie Anderson, Fred Marchand, Arrto
Ractio, Jobn C. Anderson, Peter Grenier,
John Michian, Michael Cuppa.
So soon as the accident happened an
electric danger signal was rung in at the
company's offices and tbe mills and work
ever v where tt;oriTted at once .' ' All the
doctors in west Rutland and Rutland
were called by telephone and responded
quickly. Scores of men were also sent
down to tbe quarrv. Soon tbe news
spread to the streets, and hundreds of
men, women and children hurried to tbe
quarry, and oy 5 o clock tbe vicinity was
crowded. In tbe crowd were many rel
atives of tbe dead or injured men, and
thev were frantic witb grief. The accl
dent was near tbe extreme end of the
quarry, tar under the mil. ine Killed
and some of the injured were ouned un ¬
der tons of rock, and tbe work of rescue
is necessarily difficult. The cause of tbe
caviog-m is not positively Known, tu.
B. Morse, treasurer of tbe company, said
tbe ciuse was not certain, though tbe
"scale" or part of tbe roof that fell was
probably loosened by freezing.
The Shadow Of ATl-gne.
London' Feb. 12. From St. Peters
burg comes the news tbat 10 persons
have died of cholera. Witb tbe cessation
of frost tbe Marseilles people are trying
hard to cover up their dead and to quiet
tbe fears of the hying. But tbe worst of
all, as directly affecting America, is tbe
news from Hamburg. Ia the suburb of
Altona a prisoner in jail has just died,
and five other cases are being closely
watched. Tbe port of Hamburg itself is
allowed to escape. On board the steam
ers Esco and Australia four sailors were
stricken with the disease. Tbe weather
is moderat:ner all over tbe continent, and
the warm sunshine is bringing back to
life tbe cholera germs. Meanwhile,
Vienna is sending tbe invitations to all
tbe nations to an international health
congress to formnlate some plau of
fighting the common foe. In England,
Southampton is begging parliament- to
vote money to keep up the tigid quaran
tine.
Will Xot Volunteer Further Aid.
New York, Feb. 11 Tbe local banks
will not volunteer farther aid to tbe
treasury, and will do sq reluctantly on re
quest. Many banks, which have thus far
contributed aid, concur in the principle
laid down by the banks which held aloof.
The latter say they will turn gold into
the sUD-lreasuty as members of the clear
log bouse, but not as individuals. Tbcy
hold tbat the clearing-bouse should act
as a whole; that assessments should be
levied oo the banks on a basis ot their
gold holdings. It was generally under
stood today a conference of bankers
would be held on the arrival hero of Sec
retary Foster. Comptroller Hepburn,
who was in Wall street during tbe day,
is tbongbt to have arranged for tbe-at-tendance
of several bank presidents. If
such a conference was held, nothing
could be learned of it tonight.

tempting to bribe F. J. Wilder ar.d B R.
Wilson, jurors in tbe Great. Northern

established-to justify a conviction. The
case against Way was dismissed. .

Tbe snow is of a sufficient plastio nature
to-day to furnish amusement for small boys,

Even a funeral can have its comical feat
ares, says the Moro Observer. Our neigh
bor Diekman bad a circus last Saturday
while hauling off tbe remains of a dead calf,
which had just passed in its checks. Tbe
horse to which the carcass was hitcbed
failed to realize tbat he was in the presence
of death, and ran away witb tbe remains,
rolling Mr. Diekman over several times in
tbe soft aoow, and turning the funeral into
a burlesque.
Last Thursday evening very many of the
neighbors of Mr. Rawson started oat in
sleighs to give tbat gentleman a surprise
party, and hitcbed their borses to tbe fence,
leaving overcoats and wraps in tbe cutters.
After spending tbe evening very pleasantly
tbey were surprised in turn to find that tbe
sleighs had been robbed of thejr contents,
and the matter still remains a mystery.
Whether it was a practical joke played by
some ot their friends or the work of tramps
is not known.
The reported discovery of a sulphur
spring on the Willamette heights traot at
Portland, will be investigated when the
snow goes off. Tbe spring was found by a
lady wbo smelled the sulphur and imagined
tbat a waste pipe from hades had broken in
tbat vicinity. Tbe water has .been an
alyzed and found to be very "rich" m sul
phur. The discovery of such a spring will
save many Portlanders tbe trouble of going
abroad to bathe in similar springs. It was
tbe only thing needed to make Portland
homelike and healthful.
Tbe case of the State of Washington vs.
Cal Hale, in the bank robber case at Ellens
burgh, went to the jury Monday evening at
3 o'cl ck, after one week's bard work on

tbe jury brought in a verdict of "guilty, as

A Western Oregon paper relates that a
rancher over io the Big Nestucca has a cow
wbicb has been coming home of late already
milked. She formerly yn-ided nearly a
bucket cf the sudsy fluid. Suspecting a
neighbor of milking the cow, the weary
rancher watched ber that afternoon. Ab ot
o'clock P. af , just as he was a boot to
give up the watch and go home, he observed
the cow go to the beach and lie down upon
the sand. Cautiously approaching he be
held four rascally clams extracting the milk
from the cows adder with astonishing dex
terity. When full, tbey with lome diffi
culty folded their clam shells, and like the
Arab silently stole away to their homes in
adjacent sand bank.

of Pendleton. Owing to some diffdrence
between himself an j Councilman Flickinger,

The Oregon legislature has memoralized
