The Roach Investigation.
Washington, April 14 Tbe subject
ol ti e proposed investigation of Senator
Roach, of North Dakota, was prtcipita
ted in the senate this morning bj Roach
himself. He said he was perfectly wil
ling the investigation should proceed
He bad desired an iuvestiganon, but
vielded to tbe advice cf older senators.
Hoar asked for unanimous consent for
the passage of his n solution. George ob
lected on the ground the senate bad do
oower to make an investigation, as the
matters involved acts piior to and un
connected with Roach's election Gor
man roovtd the appointment ot a com
mittee to inquire into, the power of the
eenate to make an investigation under
tbe circumstances. Chandler spoke in
favor of tbe Hoar resolution.
During ibe course of Chandler's ar
eumint be yielded on several iccasions.
One of these was ao effort on tbe part of
Hoar to have a time fixed' for taking a
vote on tbe question of tbe admission of
senators Irom Montana, Washington and
Wvnmins under appointment from tbe
governors of those states. Objection was
made on the Democratic side, but with
tbe statements that the senators on tbut
side would confer upon it. Another oc
casion was to have action on a reso'u
tion for investigation of the claim of Ady
Hsssna'or from Knusas, and for a visit to
the ttrntoiie- ot Arizona, New Mexico,
Utah and Oklahoma, to ascertain their
fitness for admission a stales Both
resolutions were agreed to without ob
jection. Chandler then proceeded with
bis argument, which consisted largely oi
a history ot English and American prece
dents bearing on tbe Roach case.

Ji'lshermnn's Sli iUe Settled.
Astoria, Or., April 15 At 10 o'clock
tlds morning about 800 Finlauders as
sembled in front of Ejlmore's cannery
just as the steitner Plunger, from tbe
American Star PackiDg Company's traps,
came alone-side the dock with a load of
fish. They started in to secure the fish
and throw them into tbe river. Walter
Ridehalgb and J Sbusted, employes ol El
more's cannery, str.rted for the mob' with
fish bangers, but in a few minutes tbey
weie overpowered, and the whole boat
load was then thrown, overboard. Kide
lialgh and bis. companion at once swore
out cump aints for five of their assailants,
and warrants have been issued tor their
arrest. Meanwntle three sloops, bad at
tempted to land tisb at the same wharf,
but on seeing tbe crowd waiting lor them
tbe men in each one turned round and
weut awy. At Tallant's cannery tbe
tame scheme was enacted later and sev
cral one hsh were destroyed bv ouion
meo. The ring eadera ot tbe crowd state
op, nly tbat they will never submit to ar
rest by tbe officers, and that tbey intend
to fiiiht tbe matter out to the end. This
uflerooon a body of 500 union fishermen
came down tn the city out of '.he bills
irom Umontown, tbe Bussian Finn set'
tlement. Tbey marched op and down she
principal streets with banners on which
were displaced the words, "f 1:15 for
Salmon or no fish." Speeches were made
concerning tbe offer of cannery men to pay
5s per pound tor fish. After a stormy
discussion, tbe offer was accepted by a
maiority ol 60 votes, but tbis determina
tion is sha ed tonight by only a bare ma.
jority of tbe members of the union, Ibere
is no doubt tbat tbe new condition of
afftirs will bring about a split in the fish
ermcn's onion, and very grave trouble
will no doubl result. All tbe cannery-
men, while hoping foi a cessation of bos
Uiitiea, have taken the greatest precau
tions to defend then property, and will
sund out 500 boats tomorrow, manned by
men who are conteBt to take tbe 5 cent
rate. It is feared that before matters are
straightened out there will be bloodshed,

Ochoco Review: Knox Huston has filed a
caveat with the U. S. patent ollice on a
labor-saving device for sawing wood and
Jogs. Is consists of an endless cross out
saw, connected with flexible joints and at
tached to a series of gear-wheels to give it
motion. We are not sufficiently conversant
with che system of mechanics applied to
wood cutting to advance an opinion as to
the practicability of Mr. Huston's inven
tion, bnt it is certain that he has devoted
much time to studying labor-saying con
tnvances, and ought to know if they are
practicable.

Crooked river, and Mr. Lister thought to
capture him with ttrychnine, hence be put
some poison in the carcass ot a borse tbat
bad died, and the next day went out to see

grizzly eating on the dead horse, but think'
ng tbe poison might not prove ettejtual, he

mothered four lambs. He gathered tbe
lambs up in his arms and took tbem to the
house, where tbey were warmed and given
some milk, and at tbit writing they are fat
and growing nicely. Another "healthy"
item is in regard to the killing of a hog re
cently by a aentleman near Rock Hill. Tbe
huge swine measured six feet and eight
inches around the body at the heart, and

A bill baa been introduced in the Ohio

Long Creek Eaqle: Tbe weather experi

being poor and weak, many have died
during tbe past week. Sheepmen, whose
bands commenced lambing last week, have
worked night and day to prevent lots, an 1
in some instance tbe per cent, of last year
will not be increased. Financial distress is
staring some stockmen squarely in tbe face,
as their bands, which are their only avail,
able resoorse, will be greatly lessened unless
a favorable ohange in tbe weather comes to
