Astoria Cr.. April 10. It is re
ported here tonight, on good authority,
that under the protection of troops
sent by Governor McGraw, of Wash
ington, to Ilwaco, the trapmen of
Baker's bay will commence fishing to
morrow, and will turn the fish over to
Seaborti's cannery at 4 cents per
po'ind, Seaborg havinpr agreed to re
ceive them and back all the men who
deliver to him. Seaburp is a member
of the Packers' Association, and, if
the rumor is true, it is hard to see how
he will justify his action. The other
cannerymen here are still firm in their
position, and there is no change in the
attitude of the fisherman.
The fisherman today notified all of
the market men that. if any salmon
were found on their slabs they would
be seized and destroyed. The men are
firm in their determination to do no
fishing themselves, and permit no one
else to fish, either for packing: pur
poses or the market. As far as can be
learned, there was no fishin ' done on
the river today. If the Baker's bay
people attempt to carry out their
threat tomorrow, there may be a colli
sion between tie men and militiarand
serious-trouble en ue.
PREIMRIXG FOR A STRIKE.
Railway Union Will be Ready for War by
: " August.
Chicago, April 10. Eugene V.
Debs, president of the American Rail
way Union, says that organization will
be ready for another fight by August
15, by which time the railway era
ployes thrughout the country will
ask for the redress of a number of al
ledged grievances, and a general ad
vance in wages on a number of
the
the
most important trunk lines in
contry.
'We do not: want another big
strike," said Mr. Debs today,' "and
will try to avoid it. All labor troubles
should be adjusted through arbitra
tion, and, that is our aim. However,
while hoping for the best, we will be
prepared for the worst. We can make
a much longer Asd harder Sght jhan I
two years ago. We are well organ
ized in both the East and the West,
and the membership -is as large as
ever, and incrersing rapidly. I have
just returned from a trip through
Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina.
We organized 4000 men -in two weeks,
and I never witnessed such enthusiasm.
We were also very successful in Buf
falo and other Eastern cities.. Our or
ganization is stronger than ever in the
West and Northwest. The only placea
we are weak ii in Chicago, Milwaukee,
Detroit and the other cities where the
effects of the big strike were felt most.
We will begin work of reorganization
in Chicago within 90 days, and will
have a larger membership here than
ever before."

ATTEMPTING TO KILL,.
Charge Hade Against a Twelve Tear Old
Lad.
EUGENE, Or.. April 13. Oral Poin
dexter, a lad 12 years old, was arrested
at his home, four miles north of Co
burg, ihis morning and wasbroughtto
this city this afternoon on a charge of
ittempting to kill the family,of Mrs.
Hiram Smith, a widow lady, who lives
on a farm adjoining that of the Poin
dexters. For some time past the'Smit'h
family have felt that they were the
victims of persecution, and repeated
attempts t3 poison the ontire family
by scattering poison about the dishes
and eatables have been thwarted.
When the family would be away some
mysterious person would visit the
house and leave the poison, but it
seemed almost impOisible to detectany
one.
S. O. Garrison, a neighbor,., was ap
pointed a special officer to ferrett the
matter out. He . obtained his first
clew last Saturday. Mrs. Smith was
way from home, but one of the little
girls was left to keep watch. She saw
the boy come with a vial and pour
something into' the pump. The next
day she was working about the kitchen-
house and was struck over the back of
the head by the same boy with a club,
and was left unconscious. Other evi
dence was secured against the boy, un
til sufficient was had to warrantarrest.
He is now held under $503 bonds. It
is supoosed this is the result of some
old feud between the families.

The Trouble With Spain Can be Easily
Averted.
New York," April 13. A dispatch
to the Herald from" Madrid says:
With the employment of a little dip-
lonaacy by the United States the im
pending trouble with Spain can be
averted. Your correspondent is 'able
to state this most authoritatively after
conversation with the leaders of the
two important parties in Spain. If
the United States will approach the
Spanish government in a friendly
spirit and ask exactly what conditions
of autonomy the Spanish government
will grant to Cuba before the former
government recognizes the insurgents
on the island as belligerents, the Span
ish will meet such overtures half way.
Senor Sagas!, the liberal leader and
former prima ml" later, said that, the
Spanish government was certainly not
trying to force a war with the United
States,
"It has taken," he "said, "the ut
most precaution to protect the lives
and property of American citizens in
Spain -since this trouble began, all
anti-American demonstrations have
been promptly stopped and no Ameri
can, up to the present time, has suf
fered the least harm."

Desperate Encounter Between
English and Matabeles. "
AFTER M'KINLEY
The A. P. A. is Arraigned Against
MeKinley and Will Fight Him at
the Convention and Polls."
Two Oregon Land Cases Decided by the
Secretary of the Interior A Fatal
Quarrel Over Money The Re
port Denied.
BuluwayO, April 12. Details have
been received here of Captain Brand's
encounter with the " Matabeles, as the
result of which he suffered a reverse
and was compelled to ask for assistance
from Buluwayo. -
The Matabeles surrounded and at
tacked Captain Brand's column, con
sisting of .130 men, which had been
sent to relieve Gwanda, 28 miles south
of here, on the Tuli road. Captain
Brand formed a laager for the purpose
of offeri"g a better defense against
the attack. Some desperate fighting
ensued. The enemy were found to be
well armed with Martini rifles, and
they returned a strong and well-aimed
fire against Captain Brand's Maxim
gun, with such good effect that it was
disabled.
-Captain Brand's ammunition ran
short, and . the fierce attack of the
Matabeles continuing, the situation of
his forces . began to grow desperate.
They were finally obliged to fight
their way through the enemy's line.
They suceeded in cutting their way J
out with a" loss of five troopers killed
and 16 wounded. It is estimated that 150
of the Matabeles were killed.
In response to Captain Brands mes
sage calling for assistance, a relief
force of 250 men, with artillery, was
dispatch as quickly as possible. This
force met Captain Brands column re
turning. The rebellion in Matabele.land seems
to be spreading, in spite of the vigor
ous efforts that have been made to
suppress it. The enemy's forces comes
and goes within short distances of
Buluwayo, and ' the anxiety here is
more keen, and there are many fears
ex Dressed of an attack. Confidence is
felt that Buluwayo will be able to offer
a succesoful defense. The coming, of
the relief force from Maf eking will,
.however be greeted as a welcome as"
eistance in case of attack.

Position of the A. P. A. Is Clearly bet
Forth.
Cincinnati, April 12- Judge J. H.
Stevens, of St.. Louis, chairman of the
national executive committee of the A.
P. 'A. passed' through Cincinnati to
night, en route to Boston. Regarding
the fight the A. P. A. is making against
MeKinley, Judge Stevens said:
"I noticed in tha .Cincinnati papers
this morning what purported to be an
interview with prominent members of
the A, P. A. which in general is cor
rect, yet it is erroneous in some par
ticulars. :
"It is true the A. P. A. will not give
tw MeKinley its support, either for the
nomination or election should he be
nominated. His record is such that no
A. P. A. member, who is true to his
principles, can support. MeKinley
has never recognized this organiza
tion." . .
Judge Stevens then enumerated var
ious grievances against MeKinley,
among them the neglect of McKinley's
managers to grant an A. P. A. com
mute an audience in Washington from
the 27th to the 30th of last March, and
the fact that .MeKinley himself left
unanswered to him. Judge Stevens
then said: : '
"I shall fight him in the convention,
and if he be nominated he cannot be
elected.". . . ' .-
In conclusion, he said:
"You may ssy for" us that we sre
against MeKinley to the last. - We
shall support only a positive, self-assertive
man who is no stradd.ler on any
issue, and is a man of more than one
idea. From the knowledge I posses of
our strength, I know the A.. P. A.
holds the balance of power, and Mr.
MeKinley cannot be nominated."
THE CUBAN WAR.
Denial of the Report of a Note Sent to
Spain.
Washington, April 11. The re
port that Secretary Olney had ad
dressed a note to United States Minis
ter Taylor, in Madrid, suggesting
mediation, is a pure fabrication. '
' When' the story published was
called to the attention of Senor Dupuy
de Lome, the Spanish minister, he
said that he had received no informa
tion of the taking of such action. The
report appeared in various forms with
in the present week, the first statement
being, that the communication ' had
been sent to the Spanish minister. It

The well that is being sunk at the
(joiumDia prewery is now aown 4 teet,
and there are no indications of water.
Solid rock has been encountered the
entire distance, which if nothing else,
is good evidence that The Dalles is
built on a solid foundation. Mr.'
, Bucbler intends having the well put
down to a depth of 300 fee.t if artesian
water is not found before reaching
that depth. . .

Capt. I. L. Smith, who for many
years has been master of differen. tug
boats in San Francisco bay, was in the
city last night, having come up from
Portland on the Regulator'. Captain
Smith was very much taken with the
scenery on the Columbia river and the
climate of Eastern Oregon. He was
very much pleased with the courteous
treatment he had received at the hands
of Columbia river boatmen, and espe
cially with the : favors shown him by
the Regulator crew.
Mr. Henry York returned last night
from White Salmon, where be had
gone to make inquiries regarding Mr.
Cradelbaugh and party who are pros
pecting iu the Cascade range near Mt.
Adams. At White .Salmon he learned
that the party had taken plenty of
provisions with them to last two
months, and this together with the
fact that there have been quite severe
storms in the mountains recently, ac
counts for their not coming out at the
agreed time, the first of last week.
It is not frequent that artificial limbs
are put on dumb animals, but there is
a milch cow in this city that peram
bulates by the aid of a wooden leg. A
favorite cow belonging to Mr. Alex.
Thompson bad been laid up with a
stuained leg for several weeks, being
unable : to travel. Yesterday Mr.
Thompson conceived the idea of mak
ing a wooden one for her, and the arti
ficial limb worked like a charm. No
sooner was it strapped on than the
cow walked off, using the wooden leg
as if she had always been accustomed
to it.

but died soon after reaching that place.
The boys parents formerly lived in
The Dalles, tha father having been

ON DANGEROUS tiROUKD. .' ,
Indescretloa Leads Many Good Men and
Women to Ruin.
It is difficult to understand why, after
the many serious and bitter' lessons
that have been taught, a man will take
despera'e chances in paying attention '
to another man's wife. An' it is as
difficult to understand, says the Port
land Welcome, why the wife will re
ceive and encourage these attentions
which she surely knows must sooner or -
later result disastrously to both guilty
parties But it appears that the warn
ings that have been given through the
experience of others, goes unheeded
and it.is reasonable to suppose that
intrigues of this kind will continue to
go on between weak men and weaker
women. , v ,
Sometimes it is the case that a wo
man falls a victim through her trusting '
simplicity to a designing man, but as
a rule a married woman is old and ex-
perienced enough to take care of her-
self and the sympathy that is mani
fested for her when the expose comes,
is on the part of but a very few. Pro- v
found and true love seldom cuts any
figure in these affairs; They are gen- '
orally the outcome of some romance, or
oftener a temporary infatuation. Were
this to continue until both parties came
to their right senses no harm would
probably come of it, so far as publicity
is concerned, but boldness is generally
an accompaniment and then exposure .
most always follows, with the result
that the interested ones are forever
disgraced or meet a tragic" fate at an ,
avenging band. -
The divorce court and "morgue rec
ords tell many stories of this kind and
frequently the people of Portland
have been shocked by the news that
some highly respected woman or man
had been called . publicly to account .
for her or his indescretion. Some
times such affairs assume a ludicrous -aspect
and while . it is embarrassing
and humiliating to those concerned,
so long as no real crime has been
committed, people are inclined to look
upon the matter in a humorous light.
It does not necessarily follow that a
clandestine meeting between a man
and a married woman . is criminal in
itself, although no . self-respecting -woman
. would commit such an act,
nor would a true gentleman encourage
a wife in sjch proceeding. But men .
and women are prone to sometimes in
dulge in a little gaietythat fre
quently a little pT3cplor. V''..
- -' V READY" FOR ACTION.1-" '
The City Council Prepared to Act on the .
" Chemical Engine Proposition.
. The proposition of underwriters to
reduce Insurance rates in this city
provided an electrio fire-alarm system
was put in and a chemical engine
added to the fire apparatus, has been
under consideration by the council for .
some months past, and the committee
of that body, Jn whose hands the mat
ter was placed, are now ready to hear
from the citizens and taxpayers of the
city regarding it. As has .been stated
before, the proposition of the-council
was that the city ' would put In and
maintain a fire-alarm system provided
the citizens would purchase the engine.
The committee of the council, have v
carefully investigated the merits of the
different aiarm systems and ascertained (
the exaet cost thereof, and have .de- -elded
what system is best adapted to
this place. This much having been
settled, it bow rests with the -citizens
of The Dalles to determine if they will
subscribe the amount necessary to pur
chase an engine, which will be in the
neighborhood of $1,500. There is little
question but this amount can be raised, .
ii parties most directly interested will
exert proper activity in soliciting Sub- -scrlptions,
for the person who carries
insurance will certainly subscribe as
much as the reduction of his premium
Will amount to for one. or two years. .
If the proposed improvements to the
fire apparatus are to be madej the
sooner the better, for the . dry season,
when there is greatest danger of fire,
will soon be here, and those who hope
to be benefited by the reduction , of
premiums want it as soon as possible.
Therefore the matter of raising funds
for the engine should be attended to at
Tha Gold Bug Chief.
During the past few years we have
heard much ' said and read many
articles denouncing the "gold ' bug as
one of the horid creations of the nine- .
teenth century, and even the writer of
this article has been chided for being
one of that berated specie, but never
until today did we see what purported
to be a genuine gold bug, and the real '
chief of gold bugs at that. It is not id
the human form of a typical Shylock,
as has been pictured by silverite
writets, but a mining device intended
for separating flour gold from black
sand, and is being exhibited by R. L.
Childs, who is en route the upper
country with it for the purpose of giv
ing it a practical test, it is an inno
cent looking contrivance, and if in fact
is a real, genuine gold bug, is not ,
nearly so dangerous as it has been
claimed to be.
