FLOUR TO CHINA
Great Interest Taken in the Scheme
to Introduce Pacific Coast
Flour in China.
Kichard Olney Appointed Attorney-Gen'
erai Costa Rica Preparing; For
War Investigation of the
Coll ma Began.
Oldenburg, June 7. Reports have
been received here that Kobersdorf, a
Hungarian watering place, has been
submerged by the Budden freshets of
the swollen mountain steamer, twelve
persons are missing. Tne torrent
swept the country adjoining, carrying
away many of the massive bridges, anc
the peasants fled to the hills for refuge,
Many families are reported homeless,
London, June 7. A dispatch to the
Daily JVeirs from Vienna says that the
report from Kobersdorf makes it evi
dent that 00 persons are missing at
that place as a result of the mountain
floods. Eighteen bodies have been re
covered. A disDatch to the Standard
from Vienna gives additional partic
ulars, So sudden was the rise of the
freshet that it was not realized until
the bodies of the dead peasantry and
furniture from the cottages came float
ing into the lower part ot the town,
One of the remarkable incidents of the
flood was related by some of the per
sons who escaped to the mountains. It
was the story of the manner in which
a cradle, containing a sleeping child,
was forced down the gorges by the
rushing waters. The child was res
cued with difficulty by the people in
the lower part of the village- Owing
to damage to the wires, it was impos
sible to ascertain the exact loss of life,
but it is feared that the whole town
has been destroyed. It is known that
12 bodies of the inhabitants of this one
village have already been recovered.
ITLOCTr TRADE WITH CHINA.
California
Millers Much Interested
Hill's Scheme.
in
Stockton, Cal., June 7. Much in
terest is felt here over the announced
intention of James J. Hill, of the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
roads, to start a new line of steamers
in the flour trade with China. The
magnate of the north has annpunced
that he expects to be able to place flour
in the markets of the Orient so that it
can be sold for li cents a pound, or 75
Cents a sack of 50 pounds. From the
city of Stockton by each steamer that
leaves San Franoisco for China many
thousands of sacks are shipped, and it
is the opinion of the shippers here that
President Hill will find that he cannot
long ship the staple for sale at the
price named. It is his idea to place
the flour on the market at so low a
price that it will cause the Chinese to
use flour instead of rice.
In speaking of the matter, J. M.
Welsh, the resident xwner of ' the
Crown mills, says:
"The present low price of flour has
been the cause of the large shipments,
and during the present year many of
the Chinese have learned to use the
American staple instead of the Chinese.
At : present California flour is laid
down in the Chinese market for $3.90
per barrel. Oregon flour can be placed
there for $3.50, or 87i cents per sack of
50 pounds. The only reason that it
can be taken there at the low rate
mentioned is because the market for
wheat is off, but if it should recuperate
and go to $1.25 there would be an end
to most of the flour trade with the
Orient. Tha reason that California
flour commands a higher price in China
than the product of the northern, mills
is because it is a lighter flour. It
commands a better price in any
market." .
OUfEt - IS APPOINTED.
Judge Judson Harmon Appointed At
- torney General.
Washington, June 7. President
Cleveland this afternoon announced
the following cabinet appointments:
Secretory of state,' Richard Olney, of
Massachusetts: attorney-general, Jud-'
son Harmon, of Cincinnati. .:
.The announcement, which was made
late this afternoon, created no surprise
here, for it has. been well understood
for several days that Olnsy would suc
ceed to the first place in the cabinet,
made vacant by the death of Secretary
Gresham. It Is probable that tomor
row Mr. Olney will take the oath as the
head of the state department. The
president at - one time contemplated
other changes in his cabinet and . a
rearrangement of . several portfolios,
and in this connection . consideration
was given to thi transfer Of Secretary
Smith to the department of justice,
but this and other transfers were
finally abandoned, and the president
concluded that the simplest plan
would be merely to fill the vacancy j
caused by Mr. Olney's promotion. j

Costa Rica Will Make no Farther Con
cession to Nicaragua.
New York, June 7. A special to the
xWorid from San Jose, Costa Rica, says:
. Everything -.possible is being done
to put the country in a good position
for. defense... The topography is such
that . an invasion by. Honduras and
Nicaragua combined would be difficult.
If the four other Central American
republics combined against her, it is
believed she will receive Columbia's
aid, with which she can hold her own.
Costa Rica will make no further con
cessions, but will rest on President
Cleveland's decision with reference- to
the boundary. '-

New York, June 7. A special
to

Costa
Rica, says:
The arms on board the schooner
Haztinas. which were reported to be

really for the discontented in the new

EDHI9TON IS GUILTTt
Verdict Against The Ex-Banker at North
Yakima.
North Yakima, Juno 8. After
deliberating 24 hours and talking 40
ballots, the jury in the Edmiston case
brought in a verdict against the de
fendant at 10:30 this morning. The
jurors stood si to Big until late in the
morning, when one left his associates,
who stood for acquittal, upon the
promise that the verdict for conviotion
should bear a recommendation to the
court for mercy. The same reasoning
brought the other five around on the
last ballot, although Edmiston 's
friends cannot understand what bene
fit he can derive from such plea for
udiclal clemency. Attorney Sniyely,
for the defense, will, on Monday, move
for a new trial, and it is oeuevea suffi
cient grounds for the same exist.
The verdict is surprised to the ma
forty of the people who attended the
trial,' Edmiston appeared greatly out
np, but stated to a reporter that be
would fight the ease to the bitter end.
He seems to think populistic influence
in the Jury-box effected the result, be
cause of populists' well-known an
tipathy for banks and bankers.

Two.RaBchea near . Pendleton Swept by
' Fire. -
Pendleton. June 10. A remark
able ranch fire, entailing a loss of $50,
000, occurred . early this morning - at
Pilot Rock, 18 miles from Pendleton,
on the large sheep ranch of Chas. Cun
nln?ham, the most - extensive wool
grower of the Inland JSmpire. Six
thousand dollars' worth of buildings,
furniture and supplies were dee toyed.
All ' the ranch buildings, except one
wool barn, were destroyed.. Mr. Cun
ningham has another ranch, several
miles . distant - from" this -one, where
there -was also a fire, causing great
loss. At the Pilot Rock ranch, at 3
o'clock this - morning, the proprietor
being absent, the employes saw two
masked men leave the vicinity of the
ranch-house; They went stealthily
and hurriedly, down the canyon,
mounted horses, and rode in the direc
tion of the . other ranch. Soon the
flames burst out at the Pilot Rock
ranch in a dozen places. - Hurrying to
ascertain the eause, the occupants of
the house, 20 or 30 sheepmen, found
gallons of kerosene in the place dis
tributed along the long line of build
ings. The ranch people scarcely had
time to escape with their lives from
the large frame building, which was a
mass ot roaring- flames, - as were also
other extensive f sheds ' and - barns.
Theserwere consumed inside of half an
hour.- J-' '' '

SEEN BY A SMALL BOY.
Miss Harrington's Murderer Noticed
Eu
terlng the Boom.
San Francisco, June 8. A witness
has been found who saw a man at the
door of Miss Harrington's flat at 12:30
M. on the day she was murdered.
The witness is a 12-year-old boy. resid
ing in the flat below the scene of the
tragedy. The man's back was turned
to the street, and the boy did not see
his face, so he can give no description.
There is every reason to believe that
this man, who was in the act of ring
ing the bell, is the murderer, but the
police have paid , no attention to the
lad as a witness, not even interview
ing him. Mrs. Jackson, the sister of
the murdered woman, has discovered
that the murderer washed his hands
in a bowl that was in the room where
the murder was committed. The bowl
was broken, but the water near it was
bloodstained, and there was blood on
the fragments of the bowl. The mur
derer had been careful to remove the
evidences of orime from his person.
At the coroner s inquest into tne
murder of Miss Harrington, which was
begun today, tenants of the Harring
ton flat testified that the glass door of
Miss Kate Harrington's suit bad not
only never been locked before, but a
key" had never been in it. After the
murder was discovered, the door waa
found locked from the outside. The
qnly letter produced significant ot im-
grape? remnonB oetween uer uu air,
luck was dated Chicago and written
on a letterhead of Porter Bros. That
was unsigned, and waa not positively
identified as written by Buok. It said:
"I have little to say that will inter
est you, unlea I say I love you still. . I
wish I could be with you this after
noon and evening, and what would
we?"
The penmanship was not positively
identified as that of Buck. Frank
Buck, when asked to explain the fa
miliar way in which his father ad
dressed Miss Harrington.frankly stated
that it was because of bis great affec
tion for her. The inquest will be con
tinued on Monday.
TOOK HIM FOR OLD NICK.
The Death of Bicyclist Lens Probably
Explained.
WASHINGTON i June 8. A strange
story tnat may explain tne late or a: J.
Lena, the' bicyclist, who started on a
tour of the world on a bicycle, and who
disappeared in April last year, wnen
he left Tabriz, In Persia, to go to
Erazeroum, in Asiatic Turkey, comes
by way ot (Jonsantlnople, and was re
lated by a Turkish sentry. While he
was in his sentry box one day a little
English boy came riding through the
street on his bicycle. - This machine
was a source of wonder to the Turk,
who hailed the lad and made a thor
ough examination of the big wheel .
While thus engaged be said it was
the second time he had seen such a
thing, his first experience having oc
curred when he was a guard on the
frontier between Persia and Turkey.
While attending to duty with a com
rade,, there came tearing down the
road on big - wheels something that
appeared to the astonished Turks like
the very old Nick himself. At any
rate, 'both soldiers concluded it was
Satan, and they agreed to. nre at nun
and see what he would do. : This idea
was promptly carried into effect. -The
soldiers fired at the approach
ing obiect simultaneously. To their
amazement their shots took effect, and
the rider of the wheel tumbled off and
made.no effort to rise again. .
An' Investigation of this story re
sulted in ascertaining that the route
which Lena intended to travel over
would carry him in a northwesterly
direction from Tabriz to Erzeroum,
and In so doing he would have to cross
the frontier about the locality described
by 'the Turkish soldier. .Nothing
could be learned as to what disposition
was made of the body, and il it was
Lenz who perished in this manner it is
not likely his remains will ever - oe
found.

Europe.
Bath, Me., June 10. David Roths
child, a learned business man of Bath,
has received a letter from his brother,
Morris Rothschild, who went to Ger
many last month, stating that an at
tempt was made to force nun into the
German army. He reached his father's
nouse, at Kisntitten, the latter part of
May. After being there a week he
was arrested and Kept in prison . 48
hours, despite his protest that he was
a citizen of the United States, and of
fered his pasports and naturalization
papers In proof . At the end of two
days he was brought before a military
court and examined and found eligible
for service in the German army. His
papers were taken from him and he
was sentenced to six weeks in prison.
at the end of which time he must begin
a three years term in tne army,
David Grelsmer, 6f New York, who
accompanied Rothschild, employed
lawyer, who laid the facts before the
military authorities with . the result
tnat the sentence was changed to
fine of 300 marks, and his papers were
forwarded to th3 war department at
Berlin, which will . decide whether
Kothschlld shall nerve his army term.

decision from the war department and
has gone to Switzerland, where he
now is. David Rothschilds will com
municate at once with the state depart

PATERSON, N. J., June 10. Herman
Fick, of Paterson, a naturalized citizen
of the united States, has for five
months been confined, under military
charge, in ' the village of Koblen,
Bvringstedt, in Germany. The cause
alledged for his imprisonment is his lia
bility to serve in the war of that coun
try, but as be is provided witn passports
from the department of state, and is,
moreover, much under the height
quired for recruits, it is thought that
there are other, reasons lor his con
finement. Just before his Illness
began, Secretary Gresham received
some startling Information concerning
the continued Imprisonment of Ameri
can citizens in Uermany, and though
his illness prevented immediate action,
the department has now taken hold of

masks and flowing whiskers, proceeded
to a house, of ill fame in the alley .be
tween Main and - itose streets, and,
breaking in the door, .dragged from

brooms and ' tar were ' brought Into
requisition and a good supply of tar
laid on the bodies of both until they
were completely covered, after which
