CHILI'S CURRENCY BUM.
Special Payment to Begin Next Month
Both Metals Used.
Washington, May 17. The text of
Chili's currency conversion bill
passed by both houses of congress, has
been received here. It. provides fo
specie payments from June 1, 1895..: As
do tn metals are De utilized, tne
change promises to have an Important
effect upon the world's supply of
metals. -The president of Chili is em
powered lor three years to coin luV
000,000 in! silver. All proceeds from
the sales from nitrate beds shall ' be
devoted exclusively to the purchase of
silver. Three gold coins, ?20, 10 and
88, are also provided for. - The rilver
dollar is to weigh 20 grammes and be
835-1000 fine. Silver is not a legal
tender above 850, except to the govern
ment, where it is received as gold.
The government mint is also directed
to exchange gold for silver dollars
presented to it with that object. ' The
act also provides a system of bank cur
rency guaranteed by tne government
and redeemable by the government if

Peek Says Wisconsin la not a Silver State.
New York, May. 17.-George F.
Peck, the recent Democratic governor
of Wisconsin, is at the Holland house.
Speaking of the condition of nis state,
ne said
'You see a good deal, printed in
the papers in the east about Wis
consin being torn wide open on the
silver question. Those reports were
perhaps true about a month ago, but
conditions are very different today.
The bubble has burst and the farmers
and merchants are thinking for them'
selves, and this thought has not done
much for silver, When the craze first
started 1 saw a lot of men who expected
to make political capital out of the
movemen.. Now, political ambition is
all right, perhaps, but the' men who
have flocked to the silver standard I
do not think did it on account of con
victions, but through the idea of gain
ing political chances-' una montn ago
bad an election taken place wiut a sil
ver ticket in the. meld, I believe it
would have swept the country. Today
the suverites have only a scant follow'
lng. Suppose a man had been elected
on a Bilver ticket, he would bate nim-
self all through his term of office, for
he would know very well that be could
'not deliver the p-ooda.' Prosperity is
returning, and with it a better under
standing oi the financial question oi
the day. I sav confidently that Wis
consin is securely within tne ranns lor
sound currency, -and nothing can shake
ner allegiance.
The -Bond Syndicate. .
New York. May 17. The Wall

The recent return to members of

.1 i . 1 . . J
other step in the same direction.
There is authority for the statement
that the progress f events in the de
sired direction has been a rood deal
faster than the syndicate expected or
even hoped would be the case. The
development of foreign investment on
a large scale, so noticeable last month,
has practically assured the country
against any large demand for gold for
many months to come. Most of the
syndicate's preparations were made
against this danger.
In Ninety Days.
San Francisco, May 17. Colonel
and Mrs. John Bradbury, of Los An
geles, will leave on Saturday for Hon
olulu. This will be his first stopping
place on their trip around the world,
which must be made in 90 days ten
more than Phineos Fogg, Jules
Verne's hero, had at his disposal. It
is said that the trip is the result of a
bet made by the amiable young mil
lionaire with some of his friends that
he and his wife and sisters can make
the trip via the Suez canal in the time
mentioned. The reason lor the 90-day
trip are said to be two; one that as
executor of the Bradbury estate, one of
the richest m the west, uoionei .Brad
bury cannot be out of the state over 90
days without ioneiting nis position
and the second is that he has
made bets amounting to upwards of
$15,000 with members of the California
club in Los Angeles that he will
succeed.

A TRAGEDY IN IDAHO.
One Person
Dead and
Wounded.
Two Others
Lewiston, Idaho, May 20. John
Siers, known as Buena, on account of
his valor at the battle of Buena Vista,
is dead, with two bullets wounds in his
back; M. F. Ward, one of his assail
ants, is probably fatally wounded from
Winchester bullets in his stomach,
and Mrs. Goddard, who killed Siers, is
in custody awaiting the ' action of the
coroner's jury. The trouble is tne
outcome of a feud of long standing.
Ten years ago the firm of schissier
& Siers was one of the wealthiest in
North Idaho. Six years ago Schissier
died. The firm's property was disposed
of and a farm at Waha, 15 miles from
here, was sold to M. F. Ward, Mrs.
Goddard's son-in-law, for 840,000.
Yesterday with three friends, Siers
drove to the farm. Anticipating
trouble, he took a Winchester rifle and
a revolver. He leaned his rifle on the
fence, and then started for the door.
Ward, who was in ambush, opener1 fire
on him with a revolver. Siers drew
his revolver. As he was trying to locate
his assailant, Mrs. Goddard came up
behind and fired two shots with a re
volver into Siers' back. As the dying
man fell to the ground, Ward rushed up
and clubbed him over the head with his
revolver.
The fusilade happened so quickly
that Siers' friends in the road had no
time to interfere, but when Ward was
beating the dying man, one of them,
Shortfall, grabbed Siers' rifle from the
fence and began to shoot at Sier's as
sailants. " He sent Ward to the earth
with two bullets in his stomach, and
shattered the pistol hand of Mrs. God
dard at the wrist. Mrs. Goddards' 13-year-old
son rushed from the house
with a Winchester and revolver and
chased Shorthill three miles, to Lake
house, a summer resort, where the lat
ter escaped.
CUBAN'S REBEL LEADER.
A Letter Written by General Gomes. .
New York, May 20. A special to
the Herald from Hoguin, Cuba, says:
General Gomez, of the Cuban armies,
who passed near this place escorted by
a cavalry force of 1200 men on his way
to Puerto Principe, has sent a letter j
to the Herald, of which the following
is a translation:
"Magnaminity will mark this war as
well as untiring energy. Among the
veterans of the previous struggle flock
ing to my standard to guide the rank
and file of the younger generation of
patriots of liberty to sure victory,
there Is noticeable a spirit of determi
nation and an energy far superior to
anything displayed during our last
war, and entirely free from certain
objectionable features which has ten
ed to localize -our movements and
prevent rapidity of operations. The
outlook for the success of the present
revolution before many years is so
bright that there can now be no doubt
that the republic of Cuba will be one
of the new . states soon to occupy its
place among the free governments of
the world. Martinez Campos has by
force of circumstances been compelled
to accept the only plan of campaign
left to him to enable Spain temporarily
to maintain possession of the larger
towns and principal coast ports, and
these will soon slip from her sickly
grasp. Campos will require a double
army, one of occupation and one of
operation, For the first, he must have,
as any military expert who knows the
strength of the revolution and who
possesses a knowledge of geography of
the island may see at a glance, at least
30,000 men in order to occupy and de
fend the cities, towns and strategic
outposts already threatened by the
revolution. For his army of operation
as many more troops will be required
to enable him to face our forces in the
field.
"To maintain the war until spring,
'from physical and financial exhaustion
she will be compelled, as she was in
Santo Domingo, to give up the fight.
Free Cuba will not need such a large
millitary force, for. with our superior
knowledge of the island we can with
one and the same army of much less
Strength numerically, assisted as we
are by -these advantages and by all the
natural resources of the island, compel
the Spanish army of occupatibn to
keep strictly with the army - of opera
tion, harassing the enemy upon every
hand by our alternate movements of
sudden dissemination and quick con
centrations." ' .
Is Unconstitutional.
WASHINGTON, May 20. The su
preme court today declared the income
tax law unconstitutional in toto. The
justices against the law were, Chief
Justice Fuller and Justices Gray, Field,
Brewer and Shiras, - For the law were
Justices Harlan, White, Brown and
Jackson.

Road Incorporated -
Chicago, May 18, The Tribune prints
a special from Washington which
says that Chief Justice Fuller has com1
pleted writing a decision which upsets
the income-tax law and entirely wipes
it off the statute books. The decision
has been put in type, returned from
the printer, and is now being consid
ered by the majority of the justices
solely on tne grounds oi its general
expressions. The law itself is a thing
oi t ne past. .
This result has been reached only
alter a series oi remarkable changes in
tne court, tne entire history oi v-hich
is not likely to be given to the public.
The conference of Saturday devel
oped the fact that Chief Justice Fuller
and Justices Field, Gray and Brewer
were still opposed to the law as a
whole. Practically the whole court
was willing to exempt state and ma
nicipal bonds. A majority of the court.
including Justice Jackson, was oppos
ed to the tax on rentals. An apparent
majority was in favor of upholding the
law as a whole, but just at this junction
Justice Shiras, who had wavered dur
ing the first hearing, began to show
evidences of changing front. Thus it
will seem that Justice Brown changed
iront on the rental question, and Jus
tice Shiras changed back on the law
itself. He was still undecided when
Chief Justice Fuller started to write
an opinion, and the Chicago member
of the court did not know whether he
was writing the decision of the court
or a dissecting opinion. Finally Jus
tice Shiras took his stand with the op
ponents of the law, and then the chief
tuubict? weiib w wur& uu 111s uuiuiuii,
mowing it would go down into history
as the decision of the court. It will

most certainly be ' handed down on
Monday, and the chances are that
there will be several individual opin
ions delivered at the same time.
AN OLD MAN'S CRIME.
Brutal Murder
Committed
Pass.
Near Grant's
Grant's Pass, Or., May 19. One
of the most cruel murders of the year
was committed near this city about 2
P. M. today. Charles Fiester, a man
of 68 years of age, drowned his wife,
aged about 55 years, in a hole of water
near the railroad track, x ne crime
was committed in the presence of their
three young children, the eldest of
whom was ten years. ,
- The pair had been separated for a
long time, and when Fibster came to
tow p. he prevailed on his wife to go to
Merlin, where he was logging, and
keep house for them. The woman
consented to go far a week, and they
started to Merlin, nine miles distant,
with the three small children.- After
going about five miles on- the way a
quarrel came up about her receiving
letters from some man, and after a hot
quarrel Mrs. Fiester started back for
Grant's Pass, but was soon caught by
Fiester and dragged to a hole of wa
ter, about three feet deep, near the
track, and he held her under the water
until she was dead. After the woman
was dead the man claims to have tried
to drown himself, but failed, and set
ting down on the track, sent the chil
dren to Merlin to tell the folks what
he bad done. He remained until the
crowd came up from Merlin, and then
came to Grant's Pass and gave him
self up to Sheriff Hiatt. .
MORTALLY WOUNDED.
C. Steele Shot by C.
L. Ralbert In
North Yakima.
North Yakima, . Wash., May
18
Clarence C. Steele was shot and mor
tally wounded this evening by C. L.
Halbert. The trouble arose over Hal
bert paying attention to Mrs. Steele,
who seemed to reciprocate the affec
tion. There had been considerable
quarreling on this account, and Steele
had twice charged his wife with infi
delity. Tonight . he : followed her,
when she went to gather vegetables,
and witnessed a meeting between the
two. He called Halbert the most of
fensive of names, and the latter picked
up a rock and struck Steele on the hip.
Steele also reached for . a rock, and,
while he was in a stooping position,
Halbert drew his pistol and fired. The
bullet took effect in Steele's left arm.
In his ante-mortem statement, Steele
said he realized he was dealing with a
desperate man; so, after he was shot in
the arm, he threw a rock with all his
force, striking Halbert on the head.
For this he received a bullet wound in
the breast, which Dr. Frank, the at
tending surgeon, : says will be fatal.
Prosecution Attorney Englehart secur
ed a full statement of the difficulty
from the dying man. Halbert - is now
in iail, but denies that he shot Steele
or .had a revolver.

' EX-CONSUL WALLER'S NEPHEW.
Paul Bray's Deportation From Madagas
car Receives Attention.
Washington, May 18. It is prob
able now that in addition to the case
of ex-Consul Waller, Mr. Eustin, our
minister to-France, will be called upon
to press on the attention of the French
government the claim of Paul Bray, a
nephew of Mr Waller, who was for
cibly deported from ' Madagascar.
Bray has written from Paris to Langs
ton, his attorney,- in - Washington, a
statement of his case, -which has been
laid by tbe latter before the state department.-
- Bray was interested with Waller in
the valuable concession of land ob-
jtained from the Hova government.
This concession was formally recorded
mi , i
Highest of all in Leavening
ABaSOLUTELY PURE
in the Hova government offices, and
copy was registered at the American
consulate at Tamatave. Waller, the
present American consul, had already
lurnisneo tne state department with
the official record in the case. The
French resident-consul in Madagascar
insisted that waller should submit his
csncession to him for approval and
registration. Mr. Waller refused
do this, apprehending that the French
official would promptly reject his
concession and deny him justice. He
claimed that the French protectorate
being confined by treaty to jurisdiction
over foreign relations only, could not
bo held to give the French officials the
right to pass on the validity of his con
cession. According . to Mr. Bray'i
statement, matters were in this condi
tion when he and Waller projected the
trip irom Tamatave to the Conchion
where the French were making depre
cations on tneir valuable rubber trees,
as soon as the rench became aware
of this movement, they promptly ar
rested both men and tried them on
charges of aiding the Hovas, and writ
ing seditious letters to them.
AGAIN OUT ON BAIL.
Wilde's Second Trial Indefinitely
Post.
poned.
London, May 20. Old Bailey court
was crowded today when Justice
Wills, accompanied bvtbe lord mavor
oi j-ionaon, ta. .tion. sir Joseph Hon
ais, and several aldermen took seats
upon the bench preparatory to the
second trial of- Oscar Wilde, charged
with serious misdemeanors.
Wilde previously had been driven to
Old Bailey, accompanied by Lord
.Douglass, oi iiawick, and ttev. Stewart
iieadiam, his two bondsmen. He
looked haggard, bm had apparently
improved in health since his release on
bail, and walked smilingly into the
prisoner s door dock, where he took a
stand beside Alfred Taylor, charged
wim similar onenses.
Sir Edward Clarke, Q. C. counsel
ior Wilde, made an elaborate argu
ment ltiiavor oi naving wiide tried
seDaratelv. The 1udo-e ao-rend. and rln-
cided to try Taylor first. Sir jfidward
Clarke then dwelt at length on the
great injustice done his client by hav
ing to wait while Alfred Taylor was
tried, but in spite of the argument of
nis counsel, wiide looked only too
pleased as he stepped from the dock
and the judge allowed his ball to be
renewed and he was again released
from custody on bail.
it is probable Wilde's trial will go
over until tne next session oi the cen
tral criminal court, and there is evi
dently but a slight chance of his con
viction. Indignant comment is heard
on all sides at the turn events have
taken. - ' .
THE STORY CONFIRMED.
A Terrible Revenge for a Horrible Crime.
Madison, Fla.. May 20. There is
no longer any doubt that Sam Echols,
Sim Crowley and John Brooks, the
negroes who outraged and murdered
were flayed and burned. A man who
has just reached here from Lafayette
county says the belief is general that
the negroes were tortured to death.
One man who ventured into the swamp
nto which the negroes were carried
asserts that he found the place where
the negroes were put to death. . He
says that it was evident that the ne
groes were lied to trees and the skin
stripped from them with knives. Then
wood was. heaped about the bleeding
forms, the match applied and the
wretches were soon dead. . This man
says that he found some strips of skin
about the place, which bears out the
assertion that they were flayed. Every
thing is quiet in Lafayette county, and,
there is no fear of trouble between the
races. The better class of negroes de
nounce the outrage and murder of Miss
Aamstrong as bitterly as the whites.
Twelve negroes have now been lynch
ed in six months, and it would seem
that the horrible fate of the last three
should prevent further attacks upon
white women. The whites have form
ed a band and are determined to pro
tect their wives and daughters.
UNION MEN WON A VICTORY.
A Lumber-Laden Vessel Unloaded at Reg
ular Rates.
Cleveland, O., May 20. One hun
dred and twenty-five lumber-shovers
went to the Cleveland Sawmill and
Lumber Company's dock this morning,
armed with clubs and stones, to pre
vent the lumber steamer Gettysburg be
ing unloaded by nonunion men. Their
leaders had failed to make terms with
the captain of the vessel, who told
them he had arranged to have the boat
unloaded by another gang at less than
scale prices. The union men congre
gated at the dock early this morning,
prepared to drive out the nonunlonists.
Frank Wentz, an employe of- the mill,
was mistaken for a nonunion man and
viciously attacked and was unmercifully
clubbed. He was removed to the hos
pital in unconscious condition. When
the police arrived the mob had disap
peared. Later the union men un
loaded the boat at the regular scale of
prices.
An Unknown Man's Body Found
- Astoria, May 20. The badly de
composed body of an unknown man
was picked up last evening in Prairie
channel, a short distance above
Tongue point. It is thought the re
mains may be those of James Daugh
erty, who was drowntsd near Oak point
about a month ago by the capsizing of
the naptha launch Ttilie. The dead
man was 5 feet 6 inches high, strongly
built, had a full beard, and was clothed
in a black diagonal vest and trousers,
and brown shirt.
Running a Muck. -
The little town of Dufur, was the
scene of a case of assault and battery on
a large scale yesterday afternoon. A
hitherto peaceable citizen, having an
extra load of "benzine" in his carcass,
imagined he could run the town. Be
coming angry with his wife he knock
ed her down, and another woman in
terfering she shared the same fate.
The town by this time became consid
erably excited, and several persons
surrounded the house, but he remained
master of the situation, until Sheriff
Driver happened to arrive at Dufur,
when he placed the man under arrest.
As soon as the sheriff had him in
charge he broke down and begged not
to be arrested. He was kept under
surveillance during last night, and it
is not known whether he was prose
cuted for the offence this morning.
This was an unusual ocourance in our
quiet little neighboring town, and it
is not expected to happen again.

Power. Latest U. 3. Gov't Report
THE D. P. at N. Co
The Facts in tbe Libelling Case of tn
Dalles City and Regulator.
The Portland JTekgram of yesterday
has the following:
Some two months ago a deckhand
named W. H. Patterson managed to
dump a truckload of five sacks of wheat
off the gangplank of the steamer Dalles :
City into the river, while the craft was
lying at Vancouver. For either his
awkwardness in losing the wheat or
his lack of physical ability to handle a '
truck the deckhand was dionhnro-aH
After being paid off, Patterson took
up the life of a long-shoreman, and
during the past month or two has been
working along the docks. During all
this time his discharge from the
steamer seemed to have aroused no
enmity in the man. nor did he show
any signs of seeking revenge until yes
terday afternoon, when, without pre
vious warning he appeared in the Uni
ted States customs collector's office and
asked that he be allowed to make affi
davit against the steamers Dalle Citv
and Regulator, charging them with
carrying coal oil in violation of section .
4472, of the revised statutes of the Uni-.
ted States, which Prohibits the carry
ing of hemp, cotton, coal oil, hay, ex
plosives, etc., on any steamer carrying
passengers, if such coal oil, etc.. is des
tined for a point that could be reached
by any other means of transportation.
xne oniy otner means oi gettlnr
coal oil to the The Dalles is by the O.
R. & N. railroad, and there has been
considerable competition between the
Lmiies (Jlty steamboat company and the
railroad, but then a common longshore- '
man such as Patterson is not supposed
to have any acquaintance with the of
ficials of the O. R. & N. Co., and it
therefore must have been solely re- ''
venge for his discharge that prompted
the former deckhand's action.
The necessary affidavit was made out ..
by Deputy Collector Forbes and turned
over to Chief Inspector George F.
Black, who, on the arrival of the,
Dalles City at her dock last evening,
served the reaulsite papers libelllno-
the steamer. Inspector Gallagher was
placed in charge of the boat, the chief
nspector taking the evening train for
The Dalles to libel the connecting
boat of the same company, the liea-
xdator, to which had been transferred
the loo cases of coal oil, forming the
basis of the libel.
The fine for the offense being $500.
bonds in tho sum of 81000 were de- , .
manded by the customs authorities
from the Dalles' City, and given, the
steamer being then released. The , :
wires were quicker than Inspector .
Black in reaching the ReqxdaUyr at the
Cascades, for on his arrival there bonds
to far more than the amount necessary
were at hand and the steamer was not
detained.
At the office of the Dalles Citv and
Regulator, at the foot of Oak street,
it was learned that the consignment of
coal oil was not billed to The Dalles or .
any other point at which a railroad con- .
nects, but was marked to Rockland,
the wild-cat town started by real estate
boomers on the opposite bank . of the
river from The Dalles. ."
According to the law. the consignors
of the oil are equally liable with the
transporters. When making the affi-
son at first named the Standard Oil , ..
Company as the shippers, but backed
down when it came to framing this
statement in the affidavit.
OREGON JOURNALISM.
Interesting Address Giving the History )f
the First Newspaper In Oregon.
George H. Himes, in a recent ad
dress before the historical society,
spoke in an interesting manner of
early coast journalism. A portion of
the address contained the following:
The first printing press west or tbe
Rocky mountains was sent from Boa
ton to the Sandwich islands in 1819, '
for use of the missionaries of the
American board, and they, in turn, in
1829, sent it, with type and other be
longings, including a small stock of .
paper the whole valued at 8450 to .
what is now LApwai, luano, men iuo
mission station of Rev. H. H. Spauld- '
ing, also a missionary of the American
board. The printer Iircharge was Mr.
E. O. Hall, whe came with his wfie
from the Islands for the benefit of her
health. !
The first newspaper started west or
the Rockies was the Oreqon Spectator,
which' was Issued at Oregon City. Feb- ,
ruary 5, 1846, printed semi-monthly,
by John Flemmlng, for the Oregon '
frinting Association, oi wnicn w. v.
Vault was president; J. W- Nesmith,
ice-president; J. f. Brooks, secretary;
George Abernethy, treasurer, and R.
N. Newell, J. E. Long and J. H.
Couch, directors. The paper was i
15x22, and contained its columns, w.
G. T. Vault, a pioneer of 1845. then
postmaster-general of the provisional
government,- was elected editor on a
salary of 8300 per year. While he was
an uncompromising Democrat of the
Jeffersonian school, and never so
happy as when stoutly promulgating
Its principles, the constitution of the
printing association made it necessary
that the editor of tbe paper should
eschew politics." -
Horse Meat.
This article of food is not popular in
this country yet; but those who have
tasted It pronounce it first-class.
When the fishing season is over if the
demand is sufficient our canneries may
be kept busy preparing the surplus
and worthless cayuses on the range for
food. So far as the samples have been
tested good reports have been received
of the delicacy of the flavor of this
meat, and some prefer it to beef. If it
developes as expected it may furnish a
cheap article of diet, and thus reduce
the cost of living. In this and other
places there is a prejudice against
horse meat, by reason of it being not
an accustomed article of food; but
when It becomes used no doubt it will
be relished.
