Washington, Feb. 3 Tl ere is hope for i lie old I:niian war claims of Oregon ,md Washington.- Representative Hir- mann secured a reference of his biii pro viding payment, to the coutt of claims, and it is now cn the dockets ef tba-t court. Bills for paymeut have beea pending for years in congress lne amount of these claims is $3,296,658. The original claims for the people ot those two states arising out of tbe Indian wars of 1855 '58 amnunted t' $6,000,000. Congress in loDD directed the secretary or war to re. port tne .expenses ot the war. tie ap pointed Inyalls, Smith and Grover as a commis-ion, and they reported in; favor of payment. Tbe committee on military affairs, un der Alexander H. Stevens, referred the matter to tbe third auditor, Robert J. At kinson. ,. He reported adversely, and crit icised the prices as exorbitant. " The house then, by resolution, referred tbe whole matter back to the third aud itor for full examination. He reported the claims back, reduced to the extent of $2,714,808. Congress appropriated the money to pav this sum March 2, 1861. Every delegation in congress since tbea hs labored to secure payment of the disallowed cUiuis, and Mr Hermann bas directed his i-ff r s to nave the claims re examined by the court of claims, so that congress shall have just statement. The committee on war claims, f which Mr. Hermann is member, favored thi. course because it was sbown that tbe third aud itor admitted in bis report "that tbe do cutneuts and orders as to calling out vol unteers bave not all been turoished. He further said: "My action, therefore, niav be considered :n a great measure as in the nature of a scaling of pri.-es, ralber thn an adjudication or indorsement of tbe claims, so tar aj allowed . He asked "that additional means shou'd be placed at his authority, so that he could send a person to the territories." Ha asked for $2000 but it was not. appropriated He finally sid, "If, therefore, it shall appear tbat my action has been in any degree erroneous in consequence ot want of per sonal knowledge of the sul j-ct, or of full and reliable data my apology must be tound m tbe fact that serious difficulties surrounded many points necessary to be investigated in order to arrive at correct conclusions, and tbat the means of ob taming information at my command were limited." . - ' Mr. Hermann areued to the war claims committee that this Is the"bcst proof that the original claims were UDjustly scaled ad not examined witb sufficient care. and that' the claimants should even at t'iis late day be allowed another investi gation, so'tliat another appropriates can be made for such of the disallowed claims ar shall be found to be just. Tbe com- m ttee agreed iu this view It is ex pec ted tbat at least $2,000,000 wi'l be found s'lli due to the old settlers of Oregon and Washington, and this action is, therefore, of great importance to many. The Ntorm In Alabama. Birmingham, Ala. Feb. 4 Further details of last night's storm, which swept over this section of north Alabama, show the damage has been greater than at first supi.os-'d. James Smith, a railroad section foreman, was fatally injured by the roet of a house falling in. On E-ist lake railroad three depo's were Mown down. At Etstlake one hou-e was blown 50 yards aud upset its occupants, wbo escaped unhurt. The worst damsge'was at Gate City, where the Congregational church was blown dowu. Mrs. P R.

Rio Janeiro, Feb. 3 A freeh sensi tion was created yesterday by the sum mary seizure ol n BaitUh tug by order Pcixoto. Tbe Eag.ish friends of De Mello Hjd De Gama, it hm been asserted. have not only given ammunition to tbe iosutgent sailers, bat hive attempted to supply them with dynamite. Tne boat rap'ured by Peixoto'a men is tho tug Cardiff', the property of an English coal company. It arrived here someday ago l adei with coal. This was discharged and the tug baa since remained in the harbor. Soon after she left the wharf she was overhauled by one nf -Peixoto'a boats and the tfraziuan omcers went aboard, despite the vigorous protests of the captain. Tha Cardiff was taking dy naniite to the insurgent warthm Trajano The Brazilian officials compelled the ciptain to return to the whsrf, where the drnamite was taken ashoie anil put in possession of the government. The mat ter was reported by the captain to tbe British of&'ials. but nothing so far has been done except cab ing the captain's statement and iVixolo s reasons for mik ink the seizure te the home government The action ot Great Britain over this in cident is awaited with much interest. The Eng'ish residents here are disposed to condemn Peixoto, and have grown indig nant over what they term the ill treit rnentof the Cardiff captain ; but io all timer qunriers i-eixoio is considered a jurtified in doing as he did. Outside the English colony. Great Britain's pretense about observing neutrality between the belligerents receive little credence, and the people canno- imagine how she will explain so violent a breach of faith with Peixoto. Evans and Morel Heard From. Fke-cno, Ca!., F?b. 4 A fight between the bandits Evans an J Morel and Dep uty Sheriffs Timtnins and Boyd occurred in the Slippery Rock country about 20 miles east ot Dinubia this afternoon. The officers were looking for the bandits in that neighborhood, and were riding in a cart. When they got near the place of a iancher named Ribuison, Timmins alighted and started in the direction of the house. He had onlv eooe a short distance when Evans and Morel came out of St. Clan's hou'e near rty aud im mediately opened fire on the officers. The latter bud the advantage of :bemg septr a'ed, and cou'd bave raked the bnndits from both sides, as E'ansana Morel were in a line bet em them. Instead,, it is report! d, the officers took to flight, the bandits diligently firing npon them. Af ter ine omcers had fled a distance they returned a few shots without ceasing to Sy. In their flight Timmins and Boyd b cume separated, tfie former finally turning up at Dinubia and the latter at Reedley. Timmins telephoned up news ot the tight to ohetitt Scott, who started for SeDger this evening witb Deputy H. naueiji. it is said or 20 shots were exchanged, the robbers firing 20 and the o Ulcers . 4 v Another report has . itihat the officers made a cold stand, but were under a disadvantage as the bandits were undercover. No further particulars can be bad here at present. Caused By a Clsarette. North Yakima, Feb. 4 The store of Nevada Lillie, at Toppenish, Yakima county, waa destroyed by fare early tbis morn ng.

Feb. 5 McGann, Dem ocrat, ef Illinois, tried to secure unani mous consent io tbe bouse for con-idera tion of the resolution to investigate the action ot Judge Jenkins in tbe Union Pacific railroad case, the employes of which be had enjoined from striking, but objection was made. The Hiwaiiao debate was resumed by Morse, Republican, of Massachu-ettF, who had five minutes, but before he bad pro ceeded, one Outhwaite, Democrat, of Ohio, called him to .order tor unparlia mentary language. The language 'to which Outhwaite objected was us follows: "Strange to tell, at tbe command of tbeir master, tbe great Grover Cleveland, bis cuckoos it tbe bouse aud seuate, tbe stanch southern Democrats, tbe loudest shouters for the white man's government, disregard all tbeir aucient traditions about the white man's supremacy and the white man's .government.'' The speaker ruled the language unparliamen tary ; m tbe meantime Morse's time ex pired.

Londin, Feb. 5.- A meeting of the unemployed was he'd at Tower Hl'.l t day, at wbicb the socialist lea ler Wi' liams announced that a re r.oo-tration would be made io Trafalgar tquare Sat urday . Hd declared, if tbe police inter fered with the procession, the unem ployed would send them to heaven by chemical parcel post. Tbis statement was greeted witb cheeis by tbe assembled mob. Continuing, Williams declared that a piece of explosive tbe nil of a penny, which could be carried in the pocket, would remove two lines of police men Again the mob broke into vocif erous cries as Williams enunciated this dangerous hint, many then shouting. "It should be done.- Williams further said tbat, if the foreign -anarchists leim'orce tbe unemployed, tbere would be warm work for the police. Tbe speaker was repeatedly cheered. A Batt e Will Deelde It. . New York, Feb. 5 A special ' cable gram to the Associated Press from Rio Janeiro, iated last evening, says: Dur log' Saturday night and Sunday the in surgents steamed their ships into a posi tion of advantage, preparatory to making a decisive attack on the government po sition at Nintheroy Monday morning. It is understood this is tbe final desperate effort on tbe part of tbe insurgents; tbat on its. success every thing depends as far as tbe revo'ution is concerned. It is ex pected early Monday (this) morning the insurgent commander will land a force on shore, . which, covered by the fire of bis vessels, will advance on the govern ment position for a final conflict.

A case ot accidental shooting by a small boy occurred on Monday afternoon. George Robinson ind Charley Conner were shoot ing kingfishers in Godman's Park with a 22 calibre Winchester rifle. The gun be coming dirty, . George went borne after a wiping rod, and while he was gone Charley loaded the gun and returned it to George Without informing him of the faot. In breaking the gun to clean it, Gaorge in some manner discharged the same, sending a ball crashing through bis playfellow's head. The ball was a 22 calibre long. It struck the boy os the left side of the nasal spine, penetrating three full inch's and lodging in tbe sphenoid bone. Fortunately it waa too low to penetrate the brain and a trifle too far to the right to penetrate the eye, and while the left eye is dilated and irritated there are hopes that the sight may be saved. Dra. Day and McLachlan were called and probed for the ball, but pro nounced it impossible to extract it, it being solidly imbedded in the bone. liana umce .easiness. Washington, D. C, Jan. 30, 1894.

BOTTOM rAN' GUARANTEED. 15 ADDRESS: SAN FRANCISCO. CAU '- Geography Sooiable- v ,- ' 'Among tbe! unique and pleasant oocir. recces ia social matters in The Dalle there has been nothing that will surpass the geog raphy social, which tha ladies of St. Paul's guild gave their fri juds last'eyeoiog at Fra ternity hall, Eioh guest was supposed to represent some geographiotl feature,, by some arrangement of dress or ornament, and very many and ingenious were the de vices worn. At the door each person was furnished with a very pretty band-painted s:or eard on which to write their transla tions of tbe various cities, mountains, riven, islands, etc., that were around them in dis guise. During the time in which the score ctrds were being made up a very nice musi cal programme waa rendered. - Instrumental Duet Muses Ruch and Sampson Vocal Solo Mrs M French Trio Meadsmes Huntington and Varnev and Miss Hollister Recitation Miss Sampson Vocal solo -...Mr Magee 8electlon by Mandolin and Guitar Club Violin aud Piano Duet ... Uiv Sampson and H Burchtort Instrumental Duet...., Miss Lang and Prof. Birgfeld Soon after the olose of the musio the eards were collected, and a committee counted the number correctly translated on eash. Mi: Rose Michell carried off the prise, a beautiful globe. Tbe guests then repaired to Keller's refreshment parlors where tbe ladies had prepared a very fine luncheon, after which a conundrum olasa was formed and geographical puszles, in a new form, were given to test their ingenuity. Some very ingenious questions were put, the greater part of whiob were answered quite readily. Some of the best characters were: Miss Myrtle Michell, with an apple suspended in a large D, represented Indianapolis; Miss Anna Lang, witb a ribbon tie, was Tygh; the letters B and C tied to either side of a ring was Miss FitzGerald's Behrintr Sea; Miss Rose Michell had C and L pinned on her back for Seattle; Hal French was Hali fax, with himself and a eard containing aa eye and the phrase "Hard Times;" Miss Ursula Ruch, in sua propria persona, repre sented Missoula; H. H. Riddel), with a penoil drawing of a paterfamalias, dresed in night time costume, walking tbe floor with three squalling babies in his arms, while his wife slept quietly, waa Trinidad, though it was more aptly goossed as shealj Mr. Eshelman, with a small oan labelled 'apple sauce,'' was Kansas,' while Mrs. Yarosy, witbs selataire diamond pin, was Little Rock; Dr. Eshelman had a U made of a piece of rope pinned to his lapel for Europe; Mrs. Shackelford had for Tennessee a tenaa E; Caps. Lewis had a olam shell a bis lapel for Rhode Island; Ei Patterson, with a date pinned to his coat, was Dayton, and G. D. Snowdon had the word ''rone" pinned to his tie, for the Penuiylvaaia town of Tyrone; Mrs. Mary French bad a white star to which was suspended an almond for Jupiter Amnion; W. S. Myers had a' grix- sly bear pin for California, and Mr. Russell bad a fao simile of a baked bean for Boston; Annie Williams wore a oartridge suspended from a D for Deschutes; Rjv. E. D. Sat- cliffe, with a letter L oa the tail of his ooat. was Lowell; Chas. CItrk waa oayenne with a red pepper; Dri Snedaker. with a large picture of a boat, was Italy, and his wife represented Utah with a eard in which was a large U; Mis Bird was Alaska,- having a pretty la sand a letter K fastened to a knot of ribbon; Harry Liebe had two keys orossed for Cross Keys. The East End BalL Tbe grand ball of tbe East End Hose Co. wss quite liberally patronized last night, and the floor was cro ded with merry revelers in tbe- mazy dance from the time the first number on tbe program was called until tbe last was . named. Decorations in the hall were very tastily arranged, and showed that the members of the company had spared no pains to make the place attractive. Music was furnished by Prof. Birgteld's orchestra, and this was all that could be desired for the enjoyment of the evening. This is the first ball given by the East End Hese Co., and Its success will be a matter of congratulation to the many friends ef the company. Organized since the great fire of September, 1891, in a portion of the city where that devastating conflagration . began, it should be a matter of pride tbt it receive liberal support. The members aro some of the principal business men, and they give their time and effort to the organizatioa without tbe least expectation of reward, and in case of fire, their untir ing labors lor tbe prevention of destruc tion of property are gratuitous. Yolun teer fire departments are not sufficiently appreciated, and too much praise cannot be given to these self-sacriflcing firemen who, during such emergencies, perform herculean tasks to preserve property from flames. The Dalles has an excellent de- partment,well organized and well drilled, and, wi th tbe water supply as il now is, n great conflagration need be feared in the future. Not only the residents of the East End, but of the city generally, will earnestly desire tbat the enjoyable party of last night will be frequently repeated, and that tbe people will often be privi leged to mingle with the members of the East End Hose Co. In social events. One million Dollars JKnonch. So eminent a jurist as Justice Brown of tbe United States supreme csnrt is ia fa vor of limitiBg legacies to a million dol lars to any singlo individual or institu tion. The following is quoted from a lecture by him: One of tbe earliest step in the settle - ment of tbis country was to abolish the law of entail and primogeniture, but the right to leave aa enormous fertuna by will to a single child or to ese of several is still recognized by law. With its un limited power to dispose of dependents' estates, I know of no reason why the leg islature may not limit tbe amount which any single individual may take by gift or devise, and thus bring about to a certain extent tbe breaking up of enormous for tunes npon tbe death of its owner. Were thi amount, for instance, fixed at $1, 000.000 it would compel a man worth $100,000,000 to create 100 beneficiaries, many oi whom wonld probably be chari table institutions, and tbat too, without doing injustice to tbe natural objects of bis bounty. Probably not 200 estates ia tbe country wonld be fleeted by such lerislstion. bnt tbe aateunt of good which conld be accomplished would be almost localcaable. Indeed, it wenld remove the main objectien t the growth of these large fortooes. Befrigerator Oars.
