Captain Hill. He refused to recognize
them, holding that be had contracted
with the United States government to
deliver them in China, nod that es such
he was acting against sid government.
A writ of habeas corpus was then ob
tained and the order for release made.
Tbe steamship was delayed nearly all

the kind and will either lead to a speedy
understanding between Washington and

Tb. Emtxraat Question.
Chicago, Apri' 6--The Union Pacific
has finally shown its band in . the fight
over emigration business, and it cannot
be denied tint she holds all the trumps
The other lioes are of the opinion that
the Union Pacifio is very unreasonable,
but what the v are going to do to help
themselves is ariotber matter. The Union
Pacific holds contracts for about 80 per
cent ot tbe California emigrant basinets
of the year, and it will not surrender tbis
without receiving concessions which the
other tines are not willing to grant. Thev
can wrest tbe Union Pacific control of the
emigrant, business from it. Hut could
only do so alter a bard fight, which would
nvolve regular as well as migrant bum .
OC88. lo avoid tl,is contingency, ana
at the same time preserve "tbe emigrant
clfurmg-hous?. Is what tbe association
tnes are seeking, but it is acknowledged
tbat tba prospects are not - bright.

Senator Hill'a Opening.
Tbe speech of Senator Hi'l was chiefly
eveted to an extensive and bitter attack
aa the iacome-tax feature of tbe Wilson
(rill. His opening remarks, however,
took a ' wider range. He raid: "The
olitical revoluti n which comm. need in
1890 aud co'minatei in 1892, was an em'
phatic expression of the popular wi'l in
behalf of certain governmental policies.

QUESTION OF TARIFF BEFJRM.
Ho spoke of tbe repeal cf the federal
elections law as a fulfillment of the party
pledges an 1 a triumph for the just doc
trine of states rights and indorsed tbe re
peal of the S&ermia law. Cjtning then
to the main question, tbe tariff reform,
be said tbat tbe provision should be ap
preciated with circumspection and witb
realizing sajse of tbe changed condi-i
tion of tbe country since 1888 . and 1890.
Continuing, be said:
"An extreme reduction of tariff duties
at a time wben tbe treasury was swollen
witb a surplus of $100,000,000, when tbe
country was reasonably prosperous, wbeo

such paralysis of general business aa

this bill, as framed by its autnors aud as
passed by tbe bouse, sought to double
tbe deficit by discarding customs rev
enue and to fill tbe void with an income
tax."
the income tax;
Tbe rest of his speech was given up to
the income tax question, and bis opening
words defined bis position in unequlvo
cal and forceful language. "Against
uch a scheme, ' be said, "unnecessarily
ill-timed and mischievous suddenly
sprung upen tbe country in tbe hour of
its distress, undemocratic in its nature
ana socialistic in its tendencies I enter
ibe pretest of tbe people of tbe state of
New York. They utterly dissent from
any proposal to get revenue from the
general government by taxing incomes
ineir dissent is practtcallv unanimous
and ulrogetier implacable."
He intimated that tbe tariff bill was
constructed on lines leid down by the ad
ministration; mat it was an anomalous
state of affairs wbeo Ibe president should
be able to give congress Information as
to what bad occurred in a committee of
the house, and said' "In these later days

"The public should not be misled into
the notion that only those whose incomes

The streams ot Grant county daring the

before remembered. From a Long Creek
exchange we glean tbe following: "Law
rence Bweek who resides on Cottonwood
was given a very short notice to vacate
his residence last Thursday night. About
midnight he was awakened ky what
scorned to be rocks falling and on inves
tigation found that the swollen current of
Cottonwood had reached his dwelling
which was in tbe act of leaving iu foun
dation. He at once went to work remov
ing his family and furniture to a place of
safety, and succeeded in getting every
thing on higher ground. Before the dawn
of tbe following morning the building by
lorce ot the current started down Cotton
wood and was soon dashed to pieces and
scattered to the waves, pieces of which
may be tound all along the stream to the
John Day river."

"Take Sand."'
A new remedy for dyspepsia aad stomach
trouble, says tha Grants Pass Courier, has
made it appearance in Southern Oregon.
It is nothing less than a spoonful of com

known citizen, and proprietor of Bybee'
springs, is supposed to be the originator of
this queer remedy in Southern Oregon, but
quite a number of veracious geatlemen test
ify to its curative properties, which are
supposed to take the form of mechanical
action by carrying off impurities from the
mucous lining of the walla of the stomach.
