M MCAIUCUJ CA 1L Engineer EndieottjDenies Mil ler's Statements. SAFE CRACKERS Secure One Hundred Dollars From S. C. Cooley's Store in Brownsville. A Carrier Pigeons Feat Oppoxe the Rale of Alonej- Bitgs A. P. A's Asked to Violate Their obligation In. nocent Victim Dead. Washingtox, April 17. The Nica ragua canal commissioD, which visited the isthmus last summer, presented some features of its side of the canal question before the. bouse committee on interstate and foreign eorameroe to day. Engineer Endicott denied the statements of Warner Miller and En gineer Menoeal, of the canal company. that the investigations by the coin mis sion had been of a cursory nature. i'he board was in Nicaragua 42 days and "pent 34 days in actual field work, Except in a few details, the plan of Engineer Menocal seemed to Endlcott feasible. While the company's plan contemplate d a caal 28 feet deep, the commission ws convinced that at cer tain seasons the water wuld fall to 24 feet, unless dams were built to a tireater height. Replying to a question, Endicott said in event of war with a nation like Great Britain, the government would be obliged to abandon the canal, but raijht solve the problem by blowing p the locks. From a military point of view, the oanai was desirable, The present value of all work dne by the company, Endicott estimated at half a million. Its harbor works at Grey town were in bad condition, not much of value remaining. Portions of the work would have to he removed.' Phe company's live dredges were sunk n the harbor and were obsolete. His' estimxte of value of the company's property, when in good condition, was $1,250,000. He did not believe the mal could be built for $75,000,000 (the . company's estimate), eveq conceding Menocal 's plans to be feasible. When asked whether if the govern ment was willing to pay $133,000,000 for the canal, it rould be advisable to begin work at once, the engineer re plied that the government should make more satisfactory surveys and estimates before going forward. It was important that sumdient hy draulic data be secured, and also it was possible that further investigation would increase the estimates of the costs. T ' BUBG LAlTf AT BKOWKSVILLE.

The Span ish government within a few weeks will put into execution a comprehen sive system of home rule or autonomy for Cuba. There is good reason to be lieve that the state department has re ceived from Madrid information to this effect. The law which will be put into effect was signed by the queen regent March 15, 1885, and will be followed up by the rules and regulations developing the present scheme of reforms. By the time the queen regent makes her ad-, dress to the Spanish cortes, whioh as sembles in one month, the law will be promulgated throughout Cuba, and the long-expected h'ome rule will be real ized The element of home rule is secured by the establishment of two looal bodies drawn largely, if not entirely. from the residents of Cuba. One of fiese is to be known as the provincial chamber of deputies, the other as the council of administration. The latter has appellate jurisdiction over the for mer. Large powers are granted the council of administration in the inter nal management of public affairs, but the governor will continue ap the su preme representative of Spain, and will have direct charge of military, naval and international questions.

The tornado came from the south west with great fury, and every tree and building in the path was swept away. After smashing a road bridge and blowing a big tree across a Wheel ing & Lake Erie freight train, which crushed the. caboose and came near killing a number of trainmen, the wind began to play havoo with farm buildings, The barns of Jacob Engler, J.

A PLUCKY WOMAN She Carried a Rifle to Her Hus bind Who Had Been Beseiged. ConKDinptlnn rtnrrllll Surrenders tn "X' Kays T. e Last of the Appropria tion Bills Over Half a BlUlon Appropriated. ASTORIA, Or., April 19. Word comes from Sand island that the Ilwaeo trnpmen are again engaged in driving piling for fishtraps on the south side of the island, at the scene of the recent dispute with the gillnetmen. This time, it is stated, the piling is being put down by hydraulic power, and with the thick end of the piles down. so that , in case an attempt is again made by the'gillnetters to pull "them, the task will ba an almost impossible one with the means now at their di posal. The Washington mititia is still .en camped on Sand island, guarding the men encamped in driving, the piling, but how long they will remain is a matter of speculation. There is appar ently no need for their presence, as no fears are entertained that any trouble will ensue before the gillnetters begin operations, but it is a' &afe prediction that, with the traps in the ''cut-off" channel, great Uss of life will attend the Grst southwest gale when the sea son's work begins, and then trouble will bo the first inevitable result. There is probably as much feeling here among those not actively engaged or interested In fishing as exists among the fishermen themselves over the action of the trapmen, which time roust certainly prove is equivalent to manslaughter.

The gang of tramps lately chased out of Pendleton are evidently among its today, two of them made a general round up of the locality near Fourth and Laughlin streets, demanding food of Charley Stevens, Sydney Young and others. They finally became obstre perous and used very unparlimentary language toward the world in general and the citizens of Fourth street in particular. When Marshal Blakney arrived one got away but the other jumped over the fence into Mr. Daw son's front yard, ana garnering up bricks etc., fortified bis position. . Blakney as usual, charged and routed him but had to bring his moun tain ' howitzer into action before a capture could be effected. One shot, well aimed to miss, was enough and his hoboship will explain the entire plan of campaign to Recorder Phelps in the morning. It Is a well established fact that the American people are swindled and humbugged more than any other people on earth, and it is not for want of intelligence or shrewdness, but simply because they do not stop to think. For instance, a lady goes to her grocer, who, rather than miss making a sale, offers her inferior goods instead of the kind she asks for. He boldly asserts '"it's just as good," when if he told the customer the truth he would say, "I know Hoe Cake Soap, Soap Foam Washing Powder, and Red Seal Lye are pure goods and full weight, and for that reason cost more, but I sell the poorer qualities because there is more profit to be made." Ho Cake Soap contains ingredients not found in any other soap. Try it , Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report7 . PROSPECTING UNDER DIFFICULTIES . Seven Weeks In the ttnow, and Four of of Them Hauling Tobogans. The prospecting party soosisting of H. Ladahoff, J. McCoy, Wesley and J. Locke, James Langllle, John Durke and J. H. Cradlebaugh, that left White Salmon seven weeks ago, arrived hame Saturday night. The persons named hid located claims on McCoy oreek, a branch of the Cifpus river, about the north line of Skamania county last fall, and desired to test their ground in order that if good they could make arrangements for going actively and systematically at work to open their claims as soon as the season would permit. They left White Salmon Tuesday morning going as far as Trout Lake in wagons. Thursday morning with their plunder loaded on three sleds they be gan what proved to be a r&carkably hard trip'that lasted 23 days. The old snow for forty miles of the road was from 15 to 20 feet deep, . and the first two days out nearly, two feet of new snow fell. The party arrived at Its destination March 27th, and were on the creek' 17 days There was about 6 feet of snow on the bars when they ar rived and about 4 feet when they left. In consequence of this.prospectlng was a difficult undertaking. Mr. Cradle baugh is satisfied the ground, will pay, but how rich it is, Is an unknown mat ter. The creek is quite large, and the bars not very numerous, the hillsides being very steep and the canyon con sequently of the "box" order. The area of lay ground is small and is all located, there being but about a mile . and a quarter of the- creek that will pay, unless the creek below the box- canyon, a distance of seven miles, should develop pay dirt. The party will not go out again before July 1st, as it will be impossible to get in with horses before that time. The distance from Trout Lake to the mines is about 65 miles. " ATTEMPTED BURGLARY. A Raid Made on a Safe la ths Store at Tygh Valley. Burglars desecrated the Sabbath by making an attempt to blow open tha safe In VanDuyne, Adams. & Co's. store at Tygh Valley sometime last Sunday night. They gained entrance into the store by breaking a glass out. of the front door, but before breaking the glass they had pasted a heavy sheet of paper oyer it to avoid making a noise that would attract attention. Once in they made anattempt to blow open the safe. . The handle to the outer door was broken off and powder put into the oavity left by the break ing of the hinge. When the powder exploded, only the outer casing of tho door was blown off, leaving the door intact, and whatever valuables there were inside the safe from this intrusion. Evidently the burglars, who were thus baffled in their first attempt to get into the sate, lost courage or were frightened by some supposed danger, for they must have departed hurriedly, as they left the cash drawer which they had taken out of the oounter, sitting near the safe, and in it were severaldollars in change. They also left their tools, consisting of an old . file, a chisel and a brace and drill,' ly ing on the floor ' in the store. None of the merchandise in the store was molested, and all that was missing was half a cheese and a few silk mufflers.1 There is no clew to the identity of the burglers, but it is supposed they were ainateures in the business since their 'work was very bunglesome. ' A Small Trick. Mr. Victor Courtnay Lewis, formerly employed on the reportorlal staff of the Telegram, is a legislative candi date in Wasco county on the demo cratic ticket. Mr Lewis proposes to Introduce an innovation in peptics. He has two sets of speeches, two suits of clothes, two sets of theories, which he proposes to use where they will do the most good. As a matter or fact, be does not expect to be elected, but be has a strong backing for the posit ion of custodian of the locks, when the work at the Cascades is completed, and the government takes charge of the same. Mr. Lewis spent several years at the Cascades and Is fully in formed as to the requirements of the position, and if any one outside of the engineer corps is appointed, his chances are regarded as excellent Oregon lan, 2oth. As usual the Oregonian is nnfair In its political methods, the above is care fully veiled, under the apparent guise of a friendly feeling for Mr. Lewis as a Telegram reporter, while really it is a mean stab at his candi dacy. Mr. Lewis is making and will continue to make a straight forward, honorable canvas, and if elected, and he stands as good a show as any, will . do his duty as be finds it at the time, letting the future take care of itself. We say this from personal knowledge . of the man and not at his suggestion. '. Awarded Highest Honors World'a Fair, Gold Medal, Midwinter Fair. DRr CREAM Most Perfect Made. ip Years the Standard, 1
