In the House
Washington, Sept. 29 la tbe house,
the debate on tbe Tucker bill, repealing
the federal election law, was resumed.
Lacey of Iowa spoke in opposition. He
said the bill was inopportune, that no
federal election took place till 1894, yet
at tbis crisis, with an extraordinary con
gress to deal wilb financial questions,
this bill was dragged into tbe arena,
What was the reason? The Democratic
party was confronted with a great dan
eer. Last tall, by fusion in some states,
by chicanery in others, by advocating
free silver here and monometalism tbere,
the Democrats bad come into power. Tbe
president attempted to carry out tbe pro
gramme against silver. He had split bis
party in twain. Suddenly cy tne aecree
of a party caucus this bill was brought
In. Whv? To heal the breacti; to rally
the wbole strength of the party with the
war crv: "Down witb ftderal supervis
ion of elections." Lacey lid great stress
on tbe constitutionality of this law, and
then began to speak on tbe alleged eleo
tion outrages in tbe South, bringing on a
wordv exchange witb Talbert ot South
Carolina when he reached that state,
Lace? getting tbe best of tbe encounter,
After .Lacey concluded, McLHurm or
South Carolina replied as to the stricture
on that state, declaring he was in favor of
local self'-governmen' .
Wilson of Massachusetts wanted to
know, if the Democratic partv wis in
tbe case for tbe defense was one of tbe
weakest tbat has ever been pleaded, Sen
ator Fulton made tbe most of it and lost
no chances. Tbe defense setup was
'chronic alcoholism," and a good deal of
medical testimcnv was introduced to
prove tbat Hansen committed the crime
while suffering from that disease Judge
McBride will reserve the sentence until
next Wednesday, and before tbat time
the defendant's attorney's will move for
a new trial.

The Rebel Hnereed.
London, Sept.' 29 It ia announced
tbat tbe foriitied island of Santa Cath
arine, Brazil, bas surrendered to the
rebels.
Tbe surrender of Santa Catharina is
looked upon as an important victory for
tbe rebels, as it is contiguous to Rio
Grande do Sul. which is Lot seriously
disaffected. Tbe rebel squadron, which
went south from Santos after failing to
effect a landing tbere, leaving a war veS'
sel to blockade tbat point, tjas beeu ofi
tbe island of Santa Catharina some time,
aod tbe surrender of Desterro on Its west
coast was announced, but was not be
lieved, some days ago. The rebels a'e
now said to be in fnll possession of tbe
island, which is well watered, capable of
being; made a most important barbor and
havinu a superb bay, where the rebel
8hip can provision and refit. It will
serve as a base from which tbe rebels
will direct inland operations, as tbe rebel
commander intends to carry on tbe war
on land and gradually, if possible, gather
togoiheran army strong enongb to meet
President Peixote'a forces in a pitched
battle. Peixoto is said to be greatly an
noyed and alaimed at tbis fresh success
upon the pBrt of tho rebels. ' -
A Terrible Mine Accident.
Iron Mountain, Mich., Sept. 29 It is
reported this morning tbat the Mansfield
mine, a few miles from Crystal Fal's,
caved in last night, killing forty miners.
The miners were butied under a heavy
mass and tbere is no possible chance of
them escaping alive. Rescuing partiei
are hard at work. Unices tbe impris
oned men can be reached in a short time
tbey will be all lost, as tbe waters are
rising fast and will soon reach them, if
tbey are not already dead.
The main shaft of the mine extends
under tbe Micbigamme river and tbe
subsiding of the ground turned tbe
stream into tbe mine, flooding it almost
instantly. Tbere were sixty men in the
mine and but fifteen escaped,
A LATER BEFOBT.
It is now said tbat only three men es
caped. They were in tbe shaft at tbe
time of tbe accident and were literally
blown out by the rush of water and air.
Three are actually known to be dead.
The mine is flooded to tbe level of tbe
river bed and it is impossible tbat any
one can be aliye in the mine.
Charged With. Taking m Bribe.
Spokane, Wash., Sept. 28 Council
man Peter Graham, charged in tbe courts
witb taking a bribe, was before the city
council today in an investigation by tbat
body. Tbe proceedings were of a semi-
jodicial nature, tbe defendant being rep
resented Dj bis attorney. Tne line of de
fense is tbat the money paid Contractor
Olsen was on a contract tor a lot. Olsen
testified tbat the transfer of the lot was a
sham used to cover up a boedling tranr
uction. and was so understood by both.
Olsen was still on the stand when tbe
council adjourned for the day. Three
votes would keep Graham in bis seat.
Tbe council consists of fifteen members,
and for removal a two-thirds vote of tbe
entire council is required. Tbree mem
bers are temporarily suspended, leaving

A Occ.rease This Year.
Washington, D. C. Sept. 30 Marshal
Cusbing's newspaper, the Capitol, has
this:
An annual increase of from 8 to 10
per cent iu the gross reecipts of tbe post'
office department is usually counted up.
on. In June the department showed an
increase iu gros3 receipts of a little over
8 per cent; in July the increase was only
little more than 3 per cent; in August
there was an actual fal ing off of 4 per
cent as compared with tne receipts of
August a year ago. Tbis means simply
that the general business of tbe country
bas fallin off a indicaUd by these fig
ures, and the deficit in postal revenues is
likely to be not $4,000,000 or $5,000,000
for this year as was expected, but rather
$8,000,000 or $10,000,000 .

The horticultural fair at Hood River was
visited to-day by a kuve number of the
visiting editors of the association now in
session in Portland. They were agreeably
surprised at tbe displays made, and speak
in very complimentary terms of the pro

to the growth of fruit.
A telephone message was received from
Hood River by Judge Blakeley this after

The recoid of the police court started
out very encouraging this morning, and
this showed the arrest of two hoboes and
one inebriated individual, who took some

were repentant when interviewed, and were
not at all pleased with the environment of
their surroundings.

Corvallis News: Jesse Tunniclife had a
pup that met with, .rather, a peculiar death
last Sunday. The Tunnicliffe family left

in yelps more emphatio than musical The

Astoria Budget: Yesterday the Budget
stated that the Chinese were arming them
selves and getting ngly looking weapons
made in a machine shop in this city. A
gentleman last night called at the office and

The celebrated hobo of the canine species
passed through the city on the train this
mominggoingwest. He has tramped through
every state of the Union in charge of ex
press messengers, and each one has attached
a tag to him. These are hung around tbe
dog's neck, and it was very interesting to
read a record of his travels. He is a dog of
ordinary size, and easily makes friends with
any stranger. No one knows where he
first started his career of wandering from
town to town, forgetting the scenes of his
nativity, and becoming the pet of express
messengers.
an agreement was entered into on the
18th inst. between George VV. Kellogg, of
Salt Lake City, and the county court of

which the said George W. Kellogg is to
bore a six-inch well to tbe depth of not less
than 500 feet, or to the depth of 1500 feet
if so ordered by the couuty court. Mr.
Kellogg is to re- eive $2.75 per lineal foot
for boring and inserting the necessary cas
ing to the well, the work to begin within 30
days from date of contract September 18th
and proceed without delay until com

Mr. S. R. Barling had his phonograoh in
position last evening at E. W. Helm t Co'a
drug store. Several fine pieces of music
were rehearsed, and then one of tbe cylin
ders in the machine were talked to by some
of oar citizens, and tbe renditions ground
oat to the amusement of those present.
This consisted of poetry, dramatio aod sen
timental, which was duly appreciated.
Mr. Burling thoroughly understands the
machine, and undoubtedly will handle it to
the satisfaction of all. It is without ques
tion the invention of the nineteenth cen
tury, and people are not sufficiently ad
vanced to conjecture how it can be improved
in the twentieth.
City Phyiscian Wheeler of Portland, in
his monthly r eport, says: "When people
realize tbat filth is one of the greatest dis-
generators, and that cleanliness and
sunlight are the greatest promoters if
health, then will tne public make a long
stride toward sanitation. The fact that
cholera has again made itself present in the
United btates. notwitstandmg all the pie-
cautions that are being used, should stimu
late every householder or occupant to nse
tbe utmost care, and see that their yards,
cellars and garbage barrels are kept clean.
Such simple measures aid greatly in making
a community more healthful, as well as pre
venting a lodging place for cholera germs."

Prineville is suffering ' from a ooyote

about the nuisince: "Coyotes can be

said to be very numerous this fall, and it
will be ia order for Crook couuty to again
place a price upon their heads, by offering a
bounty for their scalps. Five hundred
coyotes and wild cats can do nearly as
much damage to stock raisers as a hard

La Grande Gazette: The litest Lousiana

Hon. John Minto, the veteran sheep

Exchange. It has never been dearly as
certained what was the. original parent ot
tbe peach. It is, however, well-known
that the peach, tbe almond and the nec
tarine can all be developed, the ooe from
the other; and it is, therefore, reasonable .
that all bad the same origin. It has been
supposed that tbe almond was already the
antecedent of the other two. Recently,
however, tbere has been found a wild plant
in the north of China, which is considered a
good species, and baa been named Amyg
dalus Davidina, aod it is believed that this
is really the parent of tbe peach and its
allies. All that is known of the peach aod

The Okanogan Outlook speaks of party

pay fifteen cents to the pan and then
safely observes "the boys expect to make

cents to tbe pan, wbich is about a shovel

oning at a low average of twenty shovels
per minute. This is $160 per hour and
$1800 per day of ten hours. When peo
