A Heavy (Storm at Astoria.
Astoria, May 11 At 4 o'clock this
aiternoim nearly 300 fi?b boats Irom the
diflcrctit canneries had tbeir nets out off
Sand island. A few minutes later clouds
came ud. and without any warning a
heavy s'orm burst over the river's mouth,
About 200 ot tbe boats reached sbei
tbe others unable from their position
beat around, made fur borne with all sail
spread. Tbe storm heightened and two
boats ooe from Kinney s cannery and
one lrom Taliants went over simul
taneously, throning tbo occupants out
and sinking the sails into tbe waves.
Tbe little cannery steamer Occident was
beating her way into her wharf at the
time, and was only 100 yards from tbe
scene, oue put around ana rei-cuea an
tbe men. A few minutes later another
ooat turned bottom up. Tbe next mo-.
ment two more capsized about oO tee1
awav from ber, and though over 30 of

they cou d extend no help to the unfor

Iiost With All On Board.
San Francisco, May 19 The fiist
peice ot wreckage by which the fate of
the American bark Majestic, which left
Seattle Ducember 10 of last year for this
port with a coal cargo and never arrived,
could be determined, has been found on
the Oregon coaxt, near the moutb of the
Siuslaw river. The information comes
in a letter received from W. F Stevens,
a well-known shipping men-bant of this
city, who is at presence at Florence, Oi ,
on business connected with the . new
coasting schooner be is bui'din; -there.
A short time ago. wri'es Mr. Sttvens,
there was picked up on the ocean beach,
near tbe mouth of the S'US aw river, a
life buoy with 'Mjetic" plainly painted
on it That the buov had never been
nsed in saving lite was evidenced in that
the cords were fastened ucroes the body
center, through which a person a would
go, clearly proving that it bad never
been uaed in the reguiar way, bat had
been broken from its fastenings. No
other wreckage that conld ho identified
baa been found 'liDg the Oregon coast
so lar as is known . The Majestic' buoy
is now in use on the tug Huberts, which
came up from San Francisco two mon'bs
ago, and is in service on tbe SuUihw
river. Tbe lost Majestic was commanded
bv Captain Lorentzen, and had a crew
of 23 men . The general belief is that
tbe old bark had ber seams opened in a
8toim during tbe fateful trip, and went
to tbe bottom wttb every soul on board
Til ree Brothers Insane.
Little Rock. Ark., May. 11 Two
weeks ago Jeff. Barthel became insane
and drowned himself. Tbe suicide preyed
on the minds of his two brothers and
both became insane and bad to be locked

were allowed the privileges of 'the or
ridor. and one, Tjarr.ed John, went into
be cell of Frank Hickev, tbe alleged

oner from Butte he suddenlv became vio
lent and cprang upon Hickey with tbe
ferocity ot a tiger aud beat him scvtrely
about the head and face, and finking his
teeth in Hickey 's -shoulder bit out, a piece
ol fi'Sb about the size of a walnut. ' Tbe
sheriff and a number of persons at the
courthouse hurr ed to tbe jail and re
duced tbe lunatics to submission and
locked them in tbeir cells. Monday Joe
Barthel, another brother ot the insane
man, went to took after the effects of h5a
orothtr who suicided. Be immediately

Tronps Heady to Eject Boas.
Tacoma, May 12 A detachment of
United States ' troops from Vancouver,
Wash., numbering 00, arrived here at
4 pm. from Portland. They are. in
command of Captain. Carpenter, under
orders from the war department to stop
General Ross and a band of Indians from
building a railroad through the Puyaliup
reservation. Tbe troops went into camp
this evening, and. it is. expected, will
tomorrow march to tbe scene t.f oper
ations and orive away the rallroaa
builders. Tnere is t a: It 61 Ross' trying
tn get a restraining order from tho
United 8tates court to prevent the
soldiers from interfering. Ho bloodshed
is ao'icipated in any event. Some new
legal questions concerning tbe right oi
the Indians to work on tbeir own lands
are involved. The troops may have to
remain here several months' They came
with bag and- baggage, fully prepared
for a long stay it necessary. " '
F. eetion .Manifesto.
Berlin. May 12 The conservatives
publish this morning their election man.
itesto. It savors in every line of agran
anism, while protection aod bimetallism
are avowed boldly as the foremost party
pnnci jies which must be reckoned with
by tbe govt rn ment it it desires a firm
alliance. No unequivocal word is
spoken concerning the army bill. In
fact, anything that could bo construed
definite approval of the measure is
carefully avoided. Tbe manifesto bints
at tbe desirabilitv of a large tax which
would fall most heavily upon Jewish
speculators. Tbe anti-Semitic sentiment
of tbe party is not specially conspicuous
in tbe manifesto, but speciously worded
paragraph says that tbe "protesiioo of
Christianity mast be adequately im
pressed upou tbe life of tbe people and
tbe action ot the legislative bodies and
tbe administration of justice."
JDrown-d In Lake Union.
Seattle, May 11 Jobn Cook, a fire
man at the Seattle Woodworking Com
pany's mill on Lake Union, was drowned
in tbe lake this afternoon at 6 o'clock.
He was not misled nntil after 6 o clock.
when men failed to bear tbe quitting
whistle. They looked out and saw Pis
bat floating in tbe water and soon alter
ward recovered his body. He bad evi
destaliy fa:len in by accident.
The " tatrsman" explains.
Salem, May 12 Concerning the lo
cation of tne soldiers' home, the States
man tomorrow will say:
"Tbo Ortgonian baa joined in tbe
clamor against Salem because some
second class fool newspaper men of
this city have opposed the location of
the proposed state soldiers' borne at
R 'sehurg aud the branch asylum iu
Eastern Oregon, and because a ct izen
ot Salem CTijoined the trustees ot the
former institution. It would be quite
as reasonable to condemn the city of
Portland, as a city, because, forsooth
some fellow residing there made a fool
of himself. People of Salem generally
do not oppose tbe location ot the sol
! diets' borne at Roseburg, and they are
not onoosed to the location ot the
branch asyium in Eastern Oiegon."
A Deaf Hate Bnn Over.
Newcastle, Wash., May 12 This af
ternoon a leaf and dumb man bv the
name of David Lang, was run down by
a freight train while walking up tbe

Coal Creek, where he was employed as a
bove'er. He was dragged about 150
feet and mangled borrioly. His brains,
feet aod a portion of tbe skull were scat
tered all along the track. The train was
backing at tbe rate of about six miles
an hour when, on rounding a sharp curve
tbe conductor caught sight of him, but,
although every effort was made to stop
tbe train, it was too late. the. deceased
was an Englishman by birth, about 30
years ot age, and so tar as known bad no
relatives iu this country.
Blew Oat his Brains.
Spokane, May 12 Frank P Robin
son, a farmhand employed by A. VV
Loom is, 12 miles east of this city, blew
bis brains out with a pistol at 9 o clock
tbis morning. He was . considered

Two Vessels Collide.
London, May 14 Tbe captain of the
steamship City of Hamburg, which ar
rived at Swansea today from Hamburg,
reports that at 1 o'clock yesterday after
noon bis vessel collided in a fogtiff Tre
vtse bead, coast ot Cornwall, with tbe

sengers and iron ore from Baiboa,
Spain, to Newport, Wales. Tbe captain

to her through a bole in tbe Countess
quarter Ninety seconds later the
Countess went under, with ber crew. of 16

fearcli in the fog proved aitnost useless
Seamen Jarbin wa picked up, but be
died a few nunuti s after having being
brought aboard tbe steamship. Tbe
dead body of a little gir' was also picked
op. Other attempt at rescue was truit
Ief8. The. passengers were tne English

Houghton, Mich., May 14 Ten men
were dashed to pieces in the Red Jacket
perpendicular shaft of tbe Calumet and
Heck I a mine at noon today. Tbe miners
were coming up in tbe cage to dinner,
and the engineer hoisted tho cage against
the timbers of the shaft. The coupling
pin broke and the men and cage weie

The Irish in America.
New York, May 13 -Joseph P Ryan,
assistant sectetary of the Irish National
Federation of America, in a published iu
erview, is quoted as. saying:
'I have received advices by letter lrom

I am not at libertv jet to make kuown
the particulars. Tbey will be given to

Justin McCarty reuniting tbe ; party in
Ireland." ,
He further declares that it would un
doubtedly .result in bringing tbe vig
orous borne rule organizations in this
country into one brotherhood. The Red
mondtes stood shoulder to shoulder witn
the majority " on every vote on tbe home
rule measure in parliament, and tbat

From the Antelope Herald we learn tbat
"great excitement was aroused at Bake
oven one day this weec over the discovery

and burning some old rubbish in one of the
backyards in Bakeoven. Amongst the
debns was a rugged looking rock which
weighed about two pounds. After tbis rock
bad been amongst the hot cinders for a short

a suhstanoe something like lead. Some men
appeared on the scene about tbis time, and
upon raking out the substance they found it .
to be a very superior quality of lead."
Lewiston Teller: The body of an un
known person was discovered near Almota
this week, floating in the river. It was

March, but the coroner's inquest held that
the corpse waa tbat of a Chinaman. The
body was entirely nude and badly decom
posed Investigation showed tbat the head
was badly crushed in aod that the woaad
was clotted with blood. Foul play is sus
pected. It is urged tbat if the wound had
been made after death the blood would not
bave clotted at- tbat place. Tbe body is
probably that of some unfortunate China
man, who has been put out of the way by
being secretly murdered and then throws
in the river.
