Oregon City, April 28 Tberon Mack
and James Barns, the vouod men under
arre3t for the murder of the Chinaman
Chin Li at Mulino about three weeks ago,
this morning confessed baying perpetra
ted the crime. Tneir confession was
made in the presence of Chief ot Police
Pardon). District Attorney Barrett and
his assistant, C. A. Dye. It was reduced
to writing and signed and duly witnessed
It is nnderstood tbat toe prisoners . wil
plead guilty to the charge of murder in
the secood degree and receive sentence
accordingly.
The story of toe crime runs aoouc as
follows: The young men bad discussed
the wortblessnecs of the Chinese, and
had concluded to terrify them so they
would leave the country. They went. to
tbe Chinamen's cabin in the nieht for
the purpose of robbery, also designing to
cut off tbe Queues of the Chinese ana
frighten tbem so they would run away,
Tbe boys battered the cabin door down
with a rail, and found bat one Utiirji-
man, who bad just risen from bed. He
made a great outcry. Barns covered
him with a revolver, and Chin Li then
held some garment up in front ot him
and turned as if to reach a weapon from
bistable. Thereupon Mack shot bim
with the rifle, and also discharged tbe
revolver he held, but does not know
whether he bi: bis mark. Chin Li then
managed to rush past his assailants and
got outside his door, when Burns again
shot with bis revolver. That shot ap
parently was tbe one which took effect in
tbe Chinamen's neck, for he at once sank
down lifeless
DID NOT GET A CENT.
The boys were completely frightened
at tbe tragic ending of their "terrifving"
expedition and at once ran away. They
say tbat they got cot a cent of money
our did they take ant thing else from tbe
dead man's cabin The whole alimr took
place in an incrediblv ttort space nl time
and manv of the deiaiis tbo Imjs suy
they are uncertain abon. they were so
surprised and contused by the ooexjec
ted turn of affairs.
fji adatniie'ei Assailant.
London, ADril 28 The Pall Mall Ga
zette states that on the day tbat tbe Irisb
borne rule bill was passed . to a second
reading Wiliam Townsend, tbe man un
der arrest on the nominal cbarga ot hay
ing discharged a revolver willfully in a
public place, bat really cn suspicion of
haying intended to assault Mr. Gladstone,
lay in wait for Mr. Gladstone s departure
from his residenco with the fnll purpose
of murdering the premier. Townsend
was armed with a loaded revolver and
was deliberately prepared to shoot Mr.
Gladstone so soon as he came within
reach. When Mr. Gladstone came out
of his residence and the would-be as
sassin saw bim bis purpose 'weakened,
(or the peculiar reason tbat the venerable
appearance ot tbe premier reminded
TownaeBd of his own father's appearance
on bis deathbed. Tbe pistol slipped
from the fingers of the intending as
sassin and be rustled into the park: ana
suuk on a bencb and burst into tears. It
is asserted tbat Townsend made bis way
iuto tbe centiul ball of tho house of com
mons on the came n.ylit and vigorously
denounced the bonis rule b'H. The po
lice have traced Trnseod from Sheffield
to this city. He arrived here at 5 20
o'clock Saturday, and therefore it was
not impossible for him to attend the
unionist meeting at Albert ball, where htt
was at first supposed to have been incited
to bis determination to kill Mr Glad
stone. TowDSend s father is all e and
does not bear tbe slightest resemblance
to Mr. Gladstone.
Fear an Indian Outbreak. 1
Denver, Colo., April 28 The trouble
between the Navajo Indians and ibu
white settlers in southern Colorado and
northern New Mexico has caused great
excitement. Although no hostile move
ment has been made on either side yet,
an outbreak may be expected at any mi
ment. Tbe trouble arose over tbe killing
last week of Indian Trader fVelcb by Na
vajos during a quarrel which may have
resulted from two much firewater Yes
terday tbe settlers aod Indians held a
conference, and the latter decided tp give
np tbe murderers of Welch. Accordingly
two Indians were, turned over to the Bet
tiers, but tbey thought more red -men
were implicated in the murder and cap
tured a half dozen additional savages
The Indians objected to this, and de
manded tbe return of the prisoners who
were last night taken by tbe whites
This was refused by the rattlers, who
were reinforced by cowboys from the sur
rounding country. Tbe Indians number
2000, and the settlers would bave little
chance in case of battle. Tbe matter up
to this hour (11 p. M.) is unsettled, and
may result in fight at any time. The
governor was telegraphed to for aid. but
owing to tbe trouble being situated in
New Mexico,, be can take no action.
Carlisle's Policy.
New York, April 28 Great satisfac
tion was expressed in financial . ciicles
this morning at the result ot tbe confer
ence yesterday evening between New
York bankers and Carlisle, secretary of
tbo treasury, and. Wall street quickly
showed it appreciated tbe clear and ex
ploit .statement made to the bankers.
Although no action was taken at tbe con
ference, it established unmistakably in
the minds of tbe bankers present, as all
admitted this morning, tbat the govern
ment was determined to maintain tbe
parity between gold and silver: that tbe
secretary thoroughly understood tbe sit
uation, and tbat tbe stones tbat tbere
was friction between tbe secretary and
the bankers of New York was absolutely
without foundation. It was learned on
good authority that Secretary Carlisle
was assnred by the New York bank
presidents of their willingness to come
to tbe assistance of tbn government
whenever, in bis opinion, more gold was
! needed by tbe treasury. Tbe , terms on
which tbe gold would be furnished were
left open. It was also agreed . by all
present tbat tbe uneasiness based upon
tbe intrenenment upon the $100,000,000
gold reserve fund was only sentimental,
and tbat at this time tbere was no neces
sity for a bond issue or gold loan to the
treasury.

Ooe of tbe mistakes that sheepmen make
is shearing too early in tbe season. - Tbis is
a yery backward year. There is so much
snow in the mountains that every breeze
coming over them bas frost in its breath.
Tbe air is chilly even in the day. time
down in the valleys, while np in the hills it
is still colder and at night inclement. The
desire to get wool iuto the .market so as to
secure good figures before the glut comes
on, and often tbe dire necessity to raise
some money, induce the sheepmen to clip
too scon. The consequence is tbat the sheep
are injured and many of them perish.
Grant' Dispatch: Our neighbors over in

construction of a b g irrigating ditch, 100
miles long, from the headwaters of Big

part of tbe conoty. It is not easy to over
estimate tbe worth of this work, not alone
directly to Klickitat county, but indirectly
as example and incentive to other sections.
We bear that tbe money for the big ditch is
all subscribed, and that surveyors are now
at work on it. Success to our pushing

Union-Journal: J. O. Stean-s, of Lower
Alsea.a former well-known citizen of Walla
Walla, is the pioneer cranberry farmer of
the Yaquina country. He has now under
cultivation half an acre, and baa contracted
with parties for setting out another acre,
and they are now engaged in the work.
Forty thousand vines are requited to plant
an acre. W. H. Hulz, of Beaver creek, has
secured 20,000 plants of Mr. Stearns, to be
put in this spring, and Judge Bine nd
Henry Denlinger, of Yaquina, have each
obtained a small supply of plants for ex
perimental purposes. It takes about four
years for plants to begin to bear. As the
growth of cranberries is limited to certain
latitudes, it will be impossible to overstock

Hood River Glacier: Governor Pennoyer

traveling over Eastern Oregon, hanting for
location for the branch insane asylum.
The Dalles has, in our opinion, many points
in its tavor. and with a sauare deal, we
believe, will be selected. As a town it has
had hard luck for the past few years, and
while its citizens are wide awake, the city
seems to have lost all energy. If it could
up up on this insane asylum and capture
it, we believe it would infuse new life into
tne place and give it courage to tackle
something else. We hope sincerely that the
governor and treasurer will locate the
asylum on Chenoweth creek, and hope so
because we believe it to be the best site,
everything considered, in tbe state.

Colville Republican: Stevens county
stockmen have been very fortunate this
winter, considering the long season of deep
snow, and the nnusual high prices of hay.
It is estimated that the total ayerage loss of
stock will not exceed D per cent. Many
stock men with herds ot thirty to sixty
head ot cattle are reported to have wintered
without the loss of a single hoof. Tbe re
port that the Indians on the reeef ration had
lost nearly all their stock is also said to be
an immense fabrication. A few bands of
cayuses have suffered great loss, but in no
instance has the loss been over 25 per cent.
Near the mission, there was a band of rir
horses that wintered on the open hills with
out any attention whatever.

Harder in the Second Degree
Albany Herald: The argument in the
W aisom murder ease was concluded at
11:30 yesterday morning, and after an able
and carefully worded charge to the jury,
the case was given to the twelve jurymen
to decide at 11:45. After deliberating just
6 hours the jury brought in their verdiot at
5:45. The prisoner was brought into court
aod the verdict was read. When the words
"guilty of murder in the second degree"
were read, the prisoner tamed visibly
paler, but showed no other signs of emo
tion. Jndge Burnett fixed Wednesday at
9 A. m . as tbe time for sentence. The pen
alty for tbe crime of murder in tbe second
degree is imprisonment tor lite, i he coun
sel for the defence will probably file a mo
tion for a new trial. On tbe first ballot on
the question of murder in the first degree 2
voted yea and 10 voted no. On the next
ballot 7 voted for murder io the second de
gree, ' tor brst degree and 3 Jor man
slaughter. Tbe jury united on a verdict on
tbe 10th ballot.
Boiling Onoe More.
This is a wonderful country and a won
derful age in which we live, and above all
it seems that wonders will never cease, says
tbe Grant county News. List week we
mentioned the fact of tbe warm springs hav
ing frozen over. Bat Mr. Grotb is not
looking so downhearted over the ooenrrenoe
any more. Mr. O. P. Cresap informs tbe
News that parties just from tbe springs
have told bim that the big spring tbat was
frozen over, is now hot and 'boiling hotter
than ever. Early Friday morning the peo
ple at the ranch left a distinot trembling of
the earth, and a subterranean rambling. A
few moments after one of tbe men who was
oat at the barn saw a jet of water and
vapor shoot from the spring to a height of
50 feet, and since that time the hot spring
has flowed with its old-time vigor. Per.
haps it became clogged by the walls caving
in, and tbe accumulated gas in the interior
of the earth just blew tbe obstructions out.
