Incidentally the Uni'ed States consulate

on the record as consul. Under him there
are six consular agents, who are paid by
fees. Secretary Gresbam, after a confer
ence with tbe president, sent the follow
mg telegram to Minister Hicks:
Protest against the failure of the an
'bori tie. to afford protection to the coo
enlate, and, it facts are well established,
ask an expression of regret, prompt pros
ecution of the guilty parties, and repar
ation for iojary to American property or

A murderer Iiynehed.
San Bernardino, Cal., April '7
About 1 o'clock tbis morning a large
body of men marched to tbe country jail
and called on Jailer Brown, who slept
inside, to come forth and unlock the
door. Tbe latter refused, and warned
the crowd not to attempt an entrance.
Tbe crowd, finding Brown won d not un
lock tbe door, secured a large iron girder,
wbicb they nsed as a battering ram in an
attempt to break down the door. , The
jail is new and. tbe door withstood their
eliorts. aud their attention was turned, to
tbe window, and, alter a few attempt,
tbe bars were broken and an entrar.ee
gained Inside chisels and hammeis
were brought into requisition nnd the
doors ot ibe cell of Fueo, the double
murdrrer, were forced open, and Fucu
was taken out aud marched to the rail
way bridge acrbss Warm Creek and
banged. There was no excitement, and
but lew ot tbe mob were maked. Tbe
murderei took matters coolh, offering no
tealslslce, and ju.t before beiBg swung

cern, ihere is a general teelmg ot satis -

Summer la Chleaxo. -
"Chicago, April 7 This was the warm
est day Chicago has experienced during
tbe month of April-in 20 years. The
meicnry stood at 83 degrees., and a hot
wind blew from the south at 30 miles an
hour. The flea ted spell, however, was
broken tbis evening by a bail storm.
which passed over tbe southern portion
ot tbe city, breaking several thousand
dollars' worth of window glass. This
morning the wind leveled tbe Indiana
hotel, a new frame structure near the
world's fair grounds. As tbe building
came down it flattened a one story build
ing adjoiuiog Anoth-r building hold
ing a panorxma, which was not sumcient
ly braced, was also tnrned into a pile of
kind ing wood. 1 be river not to be out
done by tbe - atmosphere, showed np
about 3 o'clock this morning with a tidal
wave lour feet high, wbicb tpre several
vesse s from their moorings and dam
aged them considerably. The cause is
uid to have been sudden squalls on tbe
lake. . .

LquDON, April 7 At Hull today tbe
striking union dock-laborers, by threats,
surceeded in driving off non union men
from working on all vessels, except tbe
Montebello There they met a stubborn
resistance, and a general, fight ensutd
Finally tbe non- unionists were driven off
and tbe strikers undertook to capture
tbe steamer. Tbe police interfered and.
after another hot fight drove the mob of
strikers from tbe dock, bnt they then at
tacked he building in which tbe ffices
of the ship-owner.' Federa'ion is located,
with stones Another bght with tbe po
lice resulted and 'be mot of strikers was
finally broken np and scattered Groups
along tbe water front. are still in an
ugly humor, however, aud the authon
ties in Hnticipation of further trouble,
have a-ked for military aid. Tbe Dockers'
union has issued a call to tbe union of
London, Liverpool and elsewhere to as
siBt in the tight against the shipping
federation. Tbe entire shipping trade is
at a standstill.

Joltet, 111, April 7 An accident oc
curred on the drainage channel at Romeo
about 6 o'clock tbis evening, by which
nine men were killed and six severely
wouoded. ' A severe wind and rain storm
about that time caused tbe men to take
refuge in the engine bouse A huge can
ri lever was at tbe south end of the track
and tbe engine bouse at tbe north end.
The machine was carelessly left u a fas
tened, and as tbe wind increased to a
gate it started down the tracK toward the
engine-bouse 'n which tbe men hid

Bank Bobbers not Found.
Bakes Crrr, Or, April 7 McCarty's
house at Haines was searched, and to tbe
great surprise of tbe officers no trace was
found of Tom and. Bill, the bank robbers
Finding the horses near is looked upoa
ruse 'adopted oy me ingitives io
throw the detectives on their guard.
They conld have -been secreted in the
vicinity and perhaps are awaiting a lav
orable opportunity to get out of the
country by rail, as great difficulty would
be exoerienced on horseback, as tbe
streams are badly swollen. The reported
capture of Kid McCarty at Boise City is
not true. He is supposed to be in Ari
zona. Eck McCarty is now in jail here,
who assisted Bill and Tom to escape.
He killed a man wity a corkscrew in a
variety theater in this city two years ago.

Henry Koepke, a large farmer and heavy
taxpayer of Helix, Umatilla county, says
that it will be necessary to do much re-sow-tcgin

tbe damage is quite extensive.' Mr. Koepke
will himself re-sow 800 acres, and several
of his neighbors are similarly unfortunate.
Grain put in with a drill seems to have been
better . protected and 'nas suffered leos
damage.
The ruling of Postmaster-General Bissell
in ' not allowing postoffices of the fonrtb
class to be located in country stores is
hardly fair. Where a poatodice pays the
munificent sum of $6 per year it is impossi
ble to conduct it properly unless in connec
tion with some other business. This ruling
is liable to bring about a spirit of mutiny,
especially in this western country where the
commnnities are far auart and the getting
of mails is a labor. In many parts of Ore
gon the country store is the only available
place in which to locate an office.
Tbe work on the government scow is pro

Our cotemporary's leading editorial last
evening was verbatim the same as a dis
patch in the Oregonian of yesterday morn
ing The ouly difference was that the Salt
Lake date was omitted and "to-day" was
changed to "yesterday." Tbis strange coin
cidence can only be accounted for do tbe
presumption that our venerable friend, the
editor, has discovered the secret of "sym
pathetic telegraphy," mentioned in Lieut.
Fuller's book, "A D. 2000," and for the
discovery of which President Craft in that
year in futuro had offered or will offer a

An exchange says that ttreae disposed to
be superstitious are surely having a chance
to c -ll tbe tarn this year. A few weeks
since it is supposed that the ground-hog saw
his shadow, which was a forerunner, of six
weeks more winter. It proved to be true
this time, however, with a few weeks to
spare. Whether the ground hog had any
thing to da with it or not, we will leave to
superstition's followers and let them draw
their own conclnsioLs. The next, following
those of ground bog faith, come those wbo
claim that if it rains on Easter, that it will
rain on seven consecutive Sundays. It did
rain on Easter, bat tally will have to be
kept for a few weeks before a record can be
obtained.

The Perrydale Patriot says: J. H. Rob-
bins caught a gray eagle with a steel trap
last week that measured six and ode-balf feet
from tip to tip and weighed twenty one
pounds. The culprit had been purloining
young and defenseless lambs in a fashion
that would soon reduce sheep raising to a
profitless industry. Mr. bobbins staked a
lamb to the ground and alongs de of it set a
steel trap. The eagle swooped down to
gather the tempting morsel in, bnt instead
got his toes caught in a place that made him
forever regret his lamb stealing feats. Mr.
Eagle's attempts to escape and fierce con-
act toward his captors were of no avail;
was securely crated and forwarded to
Portland as a contribution to the city park.
The bird was unbarmed with the exoeption
of a braised toe or two, which probably had
something to do with the sullen aspect be
wore. a

Southern Oregon is spreading the state

of the state: "Rumor, nf a rich discovery
of tin ore somewhere in the vicinity of

can be learned from the prospectors, who
are very reticent concerning their discovery
while making extensive preparations for a

a letter from tbe Cape Horn Telegraph
Company requesting information concern
ing tbe establishing of telegraph connec

also connecting with Canyon City. The
company is incorporated and, as an in
ducement to build lines, it tolicit. a sub
sidy Irom tbe points to be connected, as
well as tbe taking of stock by tbe resi
dents along tbe line. The estimated cost
of a line Irom here to Tne Dalles is $75
per mile, or about $9,000. There is no
question bat tbe people of Prineville
would offer substantial inducements to
any company establishing a telegraph
line to this place, and probably one-baft
the stock would be subscribed here.
