come, and was settling on the city, the
weather giving it a firmer bold. For the
first 10 weeks of 1893 only 13 deaths
were put under the head of iofluecz and
la grippe. For the week ending March
18, 11 deaths from the disease weie re
corded. This includes all the cases'of la
grippe simple, and none of the complica
tions such as pneumonia or phthisis form.
For the corresponding week of 1893 only
nine deaths mere attributed to the cause,
two less than this year. In the last four
days there have been 13 deaths from la
grippe. Yesterday there were five. The
other deaths included 38 from pneumonia
11 from phthisis and seven from bronchi
tie,. aU of which diseases are influenced
more or less by la grippe. This makes a
total of 63 deaths yesterday from pul
monary and respiratory troubles, out of a
total death list or 154, a little more than
40 per cent. Doctors in Brooklyn and
Jersey City have also been kept busy at.

San Francisco, March 24 The clerk
of tbe United States circuit court of ap

government's intention to dismiss its
case against the Willamette Valley &
Cascade Wagon Road Com nan v. . The
case is one of several of tbe snmo charac
ter in which tbe government sought to
recover large tracts of lands in Oregon,
which bad been granted by the United
States to aid rbe construction of wagon
roads. The government claimtd that tbe
roads were not constructed in accord
ance with tbe act of congress making
tbe grants, and that the patents to lands
were obtained by traud. Tbe defense of
the corporations which now own tbe lands
was tbat tbey purchased in good faith
from original grantees without knowledgi
of tbe fraud. This defense was sustained
by tbe supreme .court a tew weeks ago
in tbe cases against the California
Oregon Land Company, and The Dalles
Military Road Company, and in view of
tbat decision tbe government considers it
useless to prosecute its appeal in tbe re
mainiog case.

A ChnreJa. Scandal.
Cartasvtllb, Ga., March 24 A
street fight is looked for every day be
tween tbe Rev. Sam Jones, the evange
list, and tbe Rev. Dobbs, 'the Baptist
pastor. A feud of many year's standing
has existed between tbe reverend gentle
men, and was intensified by tbe scandal
which culminatedin a church trial last
December, In which the Rev. Washburn
tbe Methodist pastor, wus acquitted:
Dobbs said be bad been whitewashed.
On tbe occasion of tbe investigation,
some unsigned letters bad been sent to
tbe Jones family, tbe authorship of
which was attributed to ' Washburn by
Dobbs. Lately DoDbs bas renewed bis
criticisms, and this led to a sermon by
Jones last Sunday, which has been the
talk of the town. Jones, aftefy defying
Dobbs, denounced tbe accusation against
Washburn as a "damnable lie." Tbe
preacher was loudly cheered. - It is de
n ied by the preachers themselves, but it
is asserted by their close friends tbat
both carry piBtols and are readv for self
defence. The scandal bas extended to
tbe churches, and neither Baptists nor
Methodists speak as tney pass by. ,

Bethant, W. Vs., March 24 Several
miles above here in Pennsylvania, near
the source of Buffalo creek, an oil well
bas been opened tecently. Large quan
tities of oil bave been coming down the
creek since Sunday night. The students
here set tbe oil on fire Monday night at
0:30 o'clock. The fire spread across the
creek and started down stream in a flash
producing a sheet of flame nearly 70
feet high. , Soon Bethany was in a circle
of flame, and tbe creek looked like a ser
pent of fire nearly two miles long. A
dense smoke which nearly suffocated tbe
people or tsemany arose. At tne ena oi
two hours every road was blockaded with
wagons containing persons who bad
come in for miles to see tbe fire. Not an
til 24 hours bad elapsed did tbe flames
die out. rbe Bethany college students
enjoyed tbe excitement very much. The
water in tne creek was nearly boiling
when tbe fire bad gone out; and when it
had sufficiently cooled more than 100

New York, March 25 Herald' $ Pans
cable At the meeting Thursday of the
Bebring sea arbitrators, it was decided
tbe sittings would not be held behind
closed doors. This will- permit - tbe
making public of tbe exact points of ibe
contention. Briefly 'stated, the case of
the United ' States is that Alaskan fur
seal is begotten, born and reared only
upon Pnbyloff islands, to which the seal
return each spring to spend several
months consorting together; that while
a: these islands the seals are easily con
trolled ; tbat discrimination can be and
baa . oeen exercised ; tbat while absent
lrom these islands during migration,
whicb reaches as far south as tbe coast ot
California, tbey land on no other shore
and mingle with no other herd ot tur
seals; tbat because of these habits tbe Al
askan herd and each individual of it is
the property of tbe United States. The
methods employed by open sea sealers is
attacked by tbe American government as
destructive, wasteful and exterminating.
It is claimed a large percentage of the
seals killed by oped sea hunters are fe
males, a majority of which are about to
become or are mothers. The destruction
of the pregnant female causes tbe death
of tbe unborn young. The death of
the mother seal, killed while in search
of food ut the waters ot Bebring sea, de
stroys the offspring on tbe Pnbyloff isl
ands. .
FURTHER CLAIMS HADE.
It is further claimed ' tbat many seals
shot in open sea by hunters escape mor
tally wounded, or sink before the hunter
reaches tbem. Open sea sealing, it is ar
gued, will result in tbe destruction of tbe
herd in tbe near future. On tbe islands
only a limited number of the male seals
are killed. As the seal is polygamous, a
large number of males can be killed
without affecting the birth rate ot the
herd . On these facts tbe American gov
ernment claims, from the natnre of tbe
industry established on tbe Pribyloff
islands, tbat the United States bas tbe
rigbt to protect and preserve these seals
wherever tbey may be found, as tbe an
imals can only be killed . on the United
States territory, without danger of exier
ruination. It is also claimed, owing to
tbe long period of gestation, that pelagic
sealing cannot at any time be otherwise
than destructive, dangerous and waste
ful, and should be prohibited.
great Britain's case.
The case of Great Britain, on the other
band, is that Alaskan seals bave not tbe
characteristics of animals that can be
made subject to property: that it is not
certain tbey land only upon tbe Pribyloff
islands, or tbat tbey do not intermingle
with tbe Russian seal herd ; or that they
are pelagic in nature, and tneretore
should be treated as fish rather than land
animals; tbat many of tbe propositions
essential to tbe position taken by tbe
United States are on proven or contrary to
facts. As to pelagic sealing, it is claimed
tbe deBtructiveness and wastefnlnesg
Bas been greatly exaggerated; that it is
a legitimite and proper method of tak
ing seals, and can be taken without dan
ger ot exterminating the herd. Much
importance is also given by tbe British
government to the jurisdiction it claims
over Bebring sea, but this appears to be
treated by tbe United btates as a second -
v question. Both nations concede tbe
seals have decreased, tbe Unite 1 States
changing such decrease to tbe destruction
of open sea sealing, and Great Bntain
claiming tbe present . condition bas been
caused by tbe excessive number of males
killed on tbe islands and tbeinjunous ef
fect of tbe methods there employed.

city, says the Hood Kiver Glacier. This
may be "o, but if there were a hundred
hotels The Dalles would not be itself with

where all meet, and it is the only place in
the city where a stranger may rest. The
Umatilla is the old land mark, the most
pleasant hotel in the northwest, and if there
were a dczeo other new hotels in Tbe Dalles
it wonld continue to be as it has been in the
past the favorite of all old timers.

For the information of the publio a paper
gives tne following as tbe rights on the
publio highways in towns and cities: "The
streets belong to teams and vehicles, and
pedestrians have no more business upon
them than the teams would have upon the
sidewalks. The crossings at the street
corners belong to pedestrians, who have the
right of way there, by law, as against teams.
Many drivers ignore the law and go dashing
over the sidewalks, endangering lives and
limbs of pedestrians, without thinking that
they are violating the law. No vehiole or
horse can, within the law, be oriveo rapidly
over the crossings, nor can the driver ob
struct the crossings." -

At a late hour last night bis excellency
Goyernor Pennoycr returned home via the

spection for a site for tbe proposed branoh
insane asylum, upon which he hsd been ac
companied by State Treasurer Phil Mets

view the governor caught tbat gentleman
"on the wing" just as he was about enter
ing his residence. ' His excellency looked
tired, and was readier to go to bed than to
be subjected to a reportonal interview. Yet

ternary urbanity. He said:
"We visited Baker, North Powder, Unitn, ,
La Grande, Elgin, Pendleton and Heppner.
All those places offer fine sites for the aty
lnmj but we have not yet decided as to
which one to select. Next week we shall
visit Tbe Dalles. After returning from
there we shall take our future course under
advisement."
Tbe governor felt disinohned to say much
on this subject, as he apparently felt that it
would be premature., Hon. George W. Mo

need not expect much information upon this
subject till tbe commission has positively
settled upon a site.
Fettj Thefts. t
Fossil Journal: A sneak thief is in our
midst. Tuesday night, while Mr. E. White
head was asleep in bis house in town, the
thief slipped up to Mr. Whitehead's obin
on his homestead, broke open the door, and
carried away over 100 pounds of provisions.
Mr. Whitehead discovered the robbery
early next morning when he went up to his
cabin to cook breakfast and found tbe door
open and nothing left to cook. . Tbe ground
was very soft and tbe track of a man afoot
was eaaily discernible in the mad, and Mr.
Whitehead informs ns that be followed the
track clear to the house of tbe thief. At
the things stolen ware of a kind not easily
proven, Mr. Whitehead did not get out a
warrant. No doubt the thief observed Mr.
Whitehead following and measuring his
tracks, and was afraid of a search warrant,
so, waiting for darkness tbe following even
ing, he carried the stolen goods down the
creek and - hid them under Thompson's
bridge, where they were found next day by
Mark Enyart who returned the articles to
Mr. Whitehead. There has been considera
ble petty thieving in this vicinity of late,
and we are glad that the thief bas been
spotted. He will be watched very closely
from this on and if he doesn't henceforth
walk very straight, we fear tbs town will
sot be quite large enough to hold bim.
