The Tariff Cancan.
Washington, Jan. 5 There wag good
a', tendance at tbe -Democratic caucus to
night. Holmao presided. It was esti -.
timated that 147 out of a total ot 216
house Democrats were present when tbe
proceedings began. It was decided to
I limit speeches to five minutes Wheeler
made a vigorous speech against potting
coal and iron ore on the free list. Speaker
Crisp followed. He offered a resolution
that it was the duty of every Democrat
to vote for the consideration of the tari If
bill, and a'so the duty of all Democrats
to attend the sessions of the hou?e and to
maintain a quorum until the tariff bi!l
is disposed ot. in a ringing sueecn,
Crisp sharply reprimanded the D'smo
crats responsible lor the inaction iu the
house during the pas' three days. He
said
'The proper way to act for those dis
satisfied is to take tbe bill up and have
it considered. They will be given an
opportunity to offer amendments, and
these amendments, under tbe terms ot
tbe resolutions of tse committee on rales.
can be voted upon . The mnjority will
decide. No m-mber will lose any of bis
rights, and it will be to tbe honor and
credit of tho party to go forward and
legislate. Tbe party has been given a
commission from tbe people, and it is its
duty to carry it out. Tne spectacle of
the pait three days has been a disgrace
-to tbe large Democratic majority in the
bouse, and I siccerefy hope it will not
be repeated."
Will Make a Fleht.
WABHiNGTOit lJan. 5 There will be
another contest la the senate over the
confirmation of Thomas, appointed from
an eastern state as an Indian agent at
Umatilla. During the special session of
congress there was a protracted fight in
tbe senate against the confirmation ot
this class of appointments, not because
there was any objection to the men per
sonally, but because the principle was
opposed, he fight this time will opeo-J
with the Oregon appointment, and both
Dolpb and Mitchell have said tbey in
tend to object to secdiDg appointees from'
he east and south into their slate. It ip
believed alJ tbe western mec will support
tbem. It is clnimed by those who sup
port the administration in tbe matter
tbat Indian agents are Dot state appoint
ments: that Indian agencies are purely
under federal control, and that appoin
tees can be sent from any section of tbe
country to govern agencies.
' freezing to I-ath.
L:ndon, Jan. 5 Severe cold coutin
ues throughout Great Britain . Tbe tem
perature iu many places is the lowest
known. Though the thermometer regis
ters 5 te 10 deg. above zero, tbe suffering
is as great as 20 deg. below iu tbe United
States. The people are entirely unpre
pared for it, and tbe suffering among tbe
poor is intense, many nave died from
exposure. Outdoor work is entirely sus
peoded. Ibo gale in tbe channel has
somewhat abated and mailboats have re
sumed tbeir trips. Tidal streams are
frozen solid. A heavy mow- storm pre
vails. Reports from Spain say the most
iotense cold prevails there. At Z nta
tbe tempeiature was 10 deg.' above. 'At
Borgus several people were frozen to
death. Tbe snow is still falling, and tbe
cold increasing. The same conditions
prevail in Russia. At Moscow it is 26
deg. below zero; at Nijoi-Novgorod 34
deg. below; at Knarknff 23 deg. below 7
Peodleton'g Free-Coinage Bill.
Washington, Jaa. 5 Pendleton ' of
Texas introduced in tbe house today a
bill providing for tbe free coinage of sil
ver. Tbe bill makes it tbe duty of tbe
secretary of tbe treasury on Jannary 1,
1895, sud for 60 days prior thereto, to

relative market values of gold and silver
bullion in tbs markets of New York and
London. The average market value ob
tained fron 'bis record shall be declared

tbe legal ratio between tbe two metals
After January 1, 1895, tbe minis are fo"

An Obnoxious Law.
Seattle, Wash ., Jan. 5 The last leg
islature passed a law reqiring all foreign
born persons Ur produce naturalization
papers of themselves or parents before
tbey could be registered. The operation
ot tbe law is found to work great hard a
trbip on .many wbo have lived here lor
years, old soldiers and pioneers wbo bave
lost naturalization papers or wbo became
citizens by naturalizations of parents
while tbey were still minors. Suit was
instituted today to test tbe law and sev
eral other cases will be brought to cover
all phases of tbe question. The law is
very obnoxious, and reaches all parties
and classes alike. .
Settlers on Southern Pacific Lands.
Washington, Jan. 5 Secretary Hoke
Smith bas written a letter to tbe chair
man of tbe house judiciary ' committee,
declaring tbe Southern Pacific is barrass
ing settlers on lands in Southern Calif
ornia, and he is ot tbe opinion tbat it is
tbe plain duty of the government to de
fend their suits as against tbe railroad,
which is trying to dispossess tbem ot
lands purchased from tbe United States.

were shot by their own men. Another
letter has been sent to the French com'
mander at KibSi informing him of the oc
currence and assuring him, that tbe
friendly relations existing will not be
disturbed owing to Lieutenant Moiitz'
mistake. Wanna is within our own
sphere, which is tbe source of tbe Btbbes
river, which flows esstward."
- The British govern meet bas ordered a
stringent inquiry made into the afftir.

Seattle, Wash.. Jan. 6 Tbe body of
an unknown man in an advanced stage
of decomposition was found face down
in a clump of bushes about 50 feet from
the beach at North Seattle this morning
His sknll was crushed in at the back, in
dicating a clear case of murder. Tbe
flesh of -tbe bead and face bad been eaten
away and decayed, rendering identifica
tion impossible, Tbe pockets bad evi
dently been rifled of all valuables. A
plain gold ring was found on tbe ground
near tbe right band. A bottle with a
small quantity of wbiskey was standing
on a siump near the body. Tbe only pa
pers found were Dr. MrLeMan's receipt
for services in favor of Peter Eureco, da.
ted Hono ulu, October 9, 1893, and tbe
certificate of tbe same doctor, tbe same
date, tbat the man wasrtoosick for a voy
age. Tattoo marks on the right band
had tbe ioiiials P. B., oyer a large an
chor and olive branches. . On tbe left
arm-were tbe initials N. P. The indica
tions are the man arrived from Honolulu
on a vessel with a nonunion crew and
was met in Seattle by union men, and
ibe stranger, refusing to join tbe union,
was murdered either co'd-uioooeaiy or in
a scuffle lor bis liberty, snd bis body Ian
ded and concealed where found. Tbe
body was dressed in comfortable clotti
ng. Sensational developments are prom.
iaed .
The Hlchbfnders. '
San Francisco, Jan. 6 The highbin
ders and keepers of disreputable resorts
in Chinatown are up in arms against the
law calling for tbe registration of Chi
nese residing in the Unl-ed States. As
sisting these are tbe Cbioeie convicted,
of felony, wbo cannot regis'.er and are
subjected to deportation. Last night a
general raid was made on all circulars
of information posted in Chinatown and
tbey were tern down . A proclamation
was issued by tbe nignoinaers warning
all Chinese not to register. This procla
mation bas seryed to carry fear into tbe
ranks of tbe more reputable Chinese, wbo
are willing to register under the new law.
Nothing was known of the work of ibe
highbinders, brothel-keepers sod felons
until this rooming, wben tbe revenue of
ficials visited Chinatown and found tbat
every circular posted bad been torn
down. Tbe failure of the Cbioese con
sul, wbo bas been en a visit te Wasbiug
ton. to put in an appearance bas, no
doubt, given tbe highbinders and other
disreputable characters renewed courage
to carry on the work tbey have set out
lo do. Monday, boweyer, tbe consul is
expected, and it given lout from .'relia
ble resources tbat a proclamation will be
usued directing all Chinese to register.
This announcement will no donbt tend
to increaso tbe hatred of all Chinese vag
rants, and it is then that war is expected
to break out between the two classes. All
reputable Chinese will obey the word o'
the consul, and tbey will bave ample pro
tection, but there is do ample certainty
that the desperate characters will even
then desist in their efforts to prevent reg
istration. "The circulars will be put up
again, and there will be twice as maDy
or them: To prevent tbeir being torn
down, cruards will be D'aced in China
town to watch them.
Nnppused to Have Dole's Reply.
Washington, Jan. 6 It i considered
altogether improbable tbat the Coram
lett Honolulu without tbe reply o' Pres
ident Dole to tbe demand of Witiis toat
the provisional government should sur
render the authority back to Lilicoka
laui. Minister Tbursten arrived at Hon
olulu on the Alameda. The Corwin left
there several days later. Dole therefore
bad the benefit of Thurston's counsel in
framing his reply. A gentleman in this
city, whose relations with both gentle
men are intimate, expresses the convic
tion that Dole's reply follows closely tbe
lines of Thurston s letter of Decembers,
delivered to Gresbara tbe day Thurston
lett Washington. In that letter Thurs
ton eou tended the United States had ace
qu red no jurisdiction over tbe indepen
dent sovereign state of Hawaii It is be
lieved the points rrnda by Thurston, who
is now advising Dole, embody the main
p Mots uoie wi: cover in bis reply to
Willis demand.
ate Fears Prsseentioa.
Chicago, Jan. 7 Andrew Foy, with a
new suic of clothes aud a roll of bills,
hat left Chicago. According to one story
he has gone to New-York to meet Mc-
Ltugh m, the state's expected witness,
and aocording to another be bas left tbe
country, as he fears arrest. Wh"ther
either of these stories is true is not known.
One thing is certain: Andrew Foy is
gone and his friends deny tbat they know
where be is. Andrew Foy is tbe husband
of Mrs. Foy, and, if the story bis wife
told bo true, is a deeply implicated in
the murder of Dr. Cranio, as Dan Cough -
lin is supposed to lie. James McLaugh
lin is Mrs Foy's brother. Until lately
he has been living in G'agow, Scot
land, tiitt tbe state, believing he conld
testify, has tried to lsduce him to return.
A ticket was sent him. and he is believed
to havo left Glasgow December 30 He is
due in New York Monday. It is thought
by tbe prosecution that McLaughlin may
be tampeied with wben he lands, and a
trusted agent is wai'iag at New York to
bead off sucb an attempt.
Judge Carusl Arqulttes.
Port Angeles, Wash.. Jan. 7 In the
esse of tbe state of Washington agaiost
Judge Samuel Carusi, en the cha ge of
murder in tbe first degree, for killing Dr.
I. R. Herrick, in this city September 5
last, and which has been on trial during
the past week in tbe superior conrt, the

ter being out 26 bours. Tbe evidence
was all completed at noon yesterday, and
the argument completed and the jury in
structed by o o clock last night. VYban

A Defaulting Cashier.
Coi.fai, Wath Jan. 8 Tbis city was
in great excitement tbis morning on a ru-.
mor gxioing credence tbat C F. Russell,
cisbier of the First National bank, had
disappeared taking $1000 with him. In
quiry revealed tbat Russell, wbo bas been
cashier ef the First National bank sev
era! years, was suspected of raising the
face of ootes to cover. shortage. Tbe
bank examiner bas been here since Fri
day. Saturday some irregularities were
discovered, and Russell said he could ex
plain. He left borne Sunday afternoon
at 5 o'clock, aad returning1 alarmed bis
wife. News of his disappearance reached
tbe bank officials, an investigation showed
that Russell bad taken 1000 and gone.
It is learned tbat be was too late for tbe
trains, and as be had not taken a train
it was immediately supposed tnat Rusell
bad committed suicide. Sboitly before
noon today it was remembered by Drug
Clerk Charles Herman that Russell Sat
urday evening bad bought an ounco of
laudanum. Search was ben made and
Russell was found in Masonic ball ante
room leaning in a corner in a semi-un-conscious
condition. Doctors were sum
mooed and worked with him. He is
now reported in a lair way to pun
through. He can talk and says betook
the poison at 5 o'clock last evening. He
begs to be le die, and says be will not
live anyway. Tbis morning the First
National bank began suit against bim
to recover $10,000, and bas attached his
bank stock, handsome new residence and
otber property. Tbe bank officers re
fuse to talk' other than that the bank is
not injured. Russell bas been a resident
ol Coltax about 10 years, and cashier of
tbe bank tba past three. He was a man
of fine ability, greatly trusted, was a bigb
Mtson and a great secret society man.
He bad a happy family life. Tbe cause
ot tbe defalcation is a mystery, as he was
man of correct habits, and so far as
known was not a speculator. General
sympathy is felt for Mrs. Russell, wbo is
prostrated. -
Ctreshana Interviewed.
Wasaington, Jan. 8. For tbe first
time since tbe arrival of tbe Corwin and
tbe recent alarming reports from Hono
lulu, Secretary Gresham submitted to an
interview tonight en the Hawaiian situa
tion. He talked with great earnestness
and bis replies to question consisted al
most wholly of denials. He said it tbere
wete any trouble at Honolulu neither the
president nor the state department Knew
anything about it. He denied the icport
tbat tbe department bad received any
dispatches from the Corwtn, but stated
tbat dispatches by tbe regular course of
tbe mails were expected from Willis
Wednesday, adding.
"And whatever dispatches are recceived
at any time tbey will be sent to congress
at once ." -
Gresham stated tbat neither the presi
dent nor tbe slate department knew any
thing about the Corwin being anchored
off San Francisco, and, il so, it was not
by any order of tbe executive or the de
partment of etate. Kegard'Dg tbe report
tbat Willis or tbe queen was on board
the Corwin, Gresham pronounced them
fabrications. The Corwin being a reve
nue cotter, is under tbe control of tbe
treasury deportment, and any dispatches
sent by Captain Monger would, therefore
naturally go to Secretary Curliale. .

to the effect that Minister Willis bad re

the Corwin is not credited, although
Captain Munger, of the cutter, bas re
peatedly refused to affirm or deny it. It

would not have remained in confinement,
but would ha.e at once hurried to Wash

Prisoner Escaped.
Grant County Newi: Last Friday

the city. ..Coy, one of the prisoners con
fined on a charge of assisting in the Fox
yalley robbery case, bad escaped from the
county jail the night before. In connec
tion with this fact one of Stansell's horses
was missing. As all the jail doors were
securely locked tbe officers came to the
conclusion tbat Coy bad been assisted to
escape through the side door had either
had help front the outside or had made a
key and let himself out and then relocked
the door. Ivy, who is held as a witness
in the same case, could tell nothing defi
nite concerning tbe escape. Fred Mosier
was sent after the sheriff who had started
early that morning on a trip down the
river. Mr. Combs, therefore, cut across

A great many of the delegate arrived
last - night, and wbea the 1 o'clock train
palled in from Portland, nearly the full del.
egation from the lower counties were on
board. The Dalles band was at ths Urns
tilla House aad played some stirring music
At 2 o'clock the Demoorati marched to
the court house, aad Mr. E. Sjhuts called
tbs meeting to order, and introduced Mr.
J. L. Story, who, on behalf of the mayor,
extended ths freedom of the city to ths
visitors.
The convention organized at half-past 2
by the election of M. V. Harrison, of Hood
River, temporary ehairman and Mr. R. L.
Haydeo, temporary secretary. When these
preliminary proceedings were through, con
siderable Demooratio oratory wai givso
vent to. It appeared that tbis mast have
been "bottled op" for a long time, for it
exploded with great volume of sound.
Tbe appointment of the following oom
mittee on credentials Patrick Powers, J
H Cradlebaugh, H P McGuire, R L Head,
and E Schatx erested considerable excite
ment, by reason of objections being raised
to Judge Head, wbo was claimed not to be
entitled to a seat. Speaches were made for
aud against his appointment, and Democ
racy was inflated to its utmost tension. Ths
wrangle eoutinaed for some time, until Mr.
Crsdlebaugh. ia a few sensible remarks, ex
plained the parliamentary status of a
committee on credentials, and tbe appoint
ee! retired to report at 4 o'olook, and the
convention adjourned to that hoar.
Daring the wiady explosions several Re
publican! sat quietly and considered the
lituation. The charges of robber-tariff and
McKinleyisra creating the present deprast-
- i -. . i i . . f
ing noaaoiai suusuon wu qmobiy iiskjucu
to, and the thought intruded itself, bow
easily these eould be refuted by existing
facts in syery city in the United States.
But such is Demoeiaoy, and always has
bees. It consists simply of empty rounds,
and before tbe late civil war it was cham
ioned as tbe supporter of the onion of the
states, sod after the straggle ended it re
ceived tbe same enebmiumi by its devoted
followers. Argument is not neoe-sary in
making a Democratic speech. Soar high,
inflate your lungs largely, and then expel it
with force in senseless panegyrics upon
wbst the party bas done and will do, and
tbe enthusiasm of the "unterrified" will be
come wild.
After the report of the committee on
credentials the convention, we presume, will
adopt resolutions and plan a campaign for
next Jaae. Bat bow fruitless will all these
efforts end.

v Was He Drowned?
Fossil Journal.
The day before Ust Christmas Charles
Sears and Win. Keys, jr., ' while driving
cattle, saw a man walking leading a hone
on the benches of Butte Creek, going toward
the river. Tbere was no saddle on the
horse whioh was braudsd L, B. They asked
him where be was going. He said toward
the mouth of Butte Creek, Tbey asked if
be intended fording the river and be replied
tbat he did. The Jobn Day wis high at
the time, and it would have been impossible
to have forded it there, that being a yery
rough ford even in summer. Ths young
men told tbe stranger tbat the river was
uufordab'e, bat be said be dida't give a
o; he was going to ford it. The man
aoted strangely, aod seemed to want to
hide his fsce, whioh he partly suooeedsd in
doing by keeping his horse between him
and them. From his aotiooi and appear
ance tbe young men thought he was a little
out of hit bead.
On the same day Del Zichsrv'i wife, who
lives at the mouth of Butte Creek, saw the
man approaching the river, aad watched
bun until he had almost rsaohed the ford,
when be pissed from ber rings of vision-
Thin wss the last seen of tbe man by anyone
in that tectioo of the country, notwith
standing close inquiry bas been made. The
ford is in Del Zachary's field, and en Christ
mas morning the horse, with th rope
sround his neck, was discovered in the
field. The hone, a sorrel gelding, a good
animal, hai beeu ieen snd identified by
Messrs. Keys and Sears at the horse tbe
stranger was lesding. Probably the man
was orasy, and it ia fair to presuma tLat he
did as he said he meant te do at
tempted to ford an untordable stream, and
found a watery grave. No one in this vio-
tnity is known to bave distppeared, aod it
likely the man, if he was drowned,
traveled a considerable distance to meet bis
death.
We bave been informed tbat L. B, is the

The tots! number of pupils in attendance
just before the Christmas holidays was 470.
Of this number twenty-four are non-rtii-
deott aod pay tuition to J tbe district. About
$300 will be realised from that source dur
ing the present school year.
X e schools are now crowded nearly to
the limit of the total seating capacity and
beyond tbe limit in particular grades.
The total enrollment od average daily
attendance are each larger during tbe pres
ent school year than sver before in the his
tory ef the city. Each number exceeds by
fifty pupils the number ;at tbe time tbe
teaohtng force was increased to tbe present
number a prinoipal and ten grade teachers
Forty pupils rx-rteaoher is the limit for
the most efficient work. That limit has
been passed in The Dalles public schools,
and it is a question of only a short time nn
till more buidings must be erected and more
teaohers employed.
When the equalized assessTient roll for
Tbe Dalles district reaches the school board
a special school meetiog will be called to
levy a distriot tax, as all school tax levies
of '93 have been declared questionable by
State Superintendent McEIroy.
Tbe semi-anoualexaminations will olose
Friday, January ;i9th, and promotions
throughout the schools will take jlaoe on
the Monday following.
Sinoe April, 1893, tbe sohool elerk bas
collected $828 delinquent school taxes.
From 1894 inclusive all direct taxes
school, city, eounty'and state will ba col
lecsed by the sheriff once eaoh year, and
but one receipt will be given. This is tbe
good feature of the new way aod offsets tbe
inconveniences caused last year by the
change in tbe law.
Ou Weather.
In this latitude Christmas is generally
considered midwinter; but on account of
the Japan current frequently the great
Christian festival passes with the weather
as mild as spring. Tbis has been true
this season, and, although the 6th of Jan
uary has passed no really diagreeable
weather bas been experienced. During the
ast part of November a fall of snow was
experienced; but this did not stay but two
or three days, and the thermometer was
not below the freezing point. Ater this
frown of winter, the weather again mo fer
ated and has continued very agreeable ever
since. Last night about two inches of
snow fell, and tbe morning wis quite cold;
but in the afternoon it Again became mild
and agreeable. Until the middle of Feb
ruary occasional storms may be expected,
but then spring usually begins. So far
cattle bave f- d upon the hillsides, and are
now in good condit ion for beef. It will
not be phenomenal if grass continues good
right along, and from present indications
tbere wi 1 be no change in the present con
ditions. Tbe mild winters of Eastern
Oregon are as renowned as the pleasant,
cool summer', and the climate of this
1 region cannot do anrpaased anywhere on
he globe.
