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 '

ordered him to throw off the mail,
there being no express service on this
line, and to.drive on. This Mr. - Pitts
did, but drove only a few yards then
stopped te look back, when the robber
followed up and ordered the driver to
move on, which he did. but only for a
short distance, and again stopped to
take in the situation. The robber
thereupon became frightened and took
to the brush,, leaving the mail unmo
lested. The stage was driven back
and the mail recovered, arriving here
about an hour late. The highway
man is described as a tall man, having
a deep, coarse voice.' He wore a mask

HOME RL'LK FOR CUBA.
Spain It to KuraMUh This Shortly-State
l-p .rtmeut so Notified
Washington, April 20. 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.

LI HUNG CHANG'S COFFIN.
The Chinese Statesman Took It With Him
to Moscow.
San Francisco, April 30 Edward
Evans,, of. Shanghai, China, who was
among the passengers on the steamer
Gaelic, says that Li Hung Chang, the
eminent viceroy, now on his way to
Moscow, to attend the cornation of the
czar, took with him on his trip. tho
casket in whih he expects to be buried
when he dies.
''It is not an unusual thing for the
Chinese to buy their own coffins and
keep them in their houses the same as
any other' article of furniture, until
they die," he said. "To carry a cotSa
on a long journey to guard against any
inoo ivenience in ca-ie of death, may
seem rid'culous to Americans, but that
Li Hung Chang has done this, I know
to oe a fact. I have the story from a
missionary in Unina wno was engaged
by Li Hung Chang to accompany him
on the voyage, but who gave up the
trip at the last moment."

TORNADO IS OHIO.
Two Persona Killed and Many Others
In.
jnred,
Fremont, O., April 20 A tornado
aooompanied by a heavy rainfall swept
over the northwestern Dart of Sandus
ky county about 3 o'clock this after
noon, killing two persons, injuring a'
number of others and doing great dam
age to buildings and other property.
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. E. Ho
Singer, Upton Burger and Antony
S.vift first went down by it. Then the
house of James Greene was destroyed.
Greene's aged father, William "L.
Greene, was killed outright. His wife
was fatally hurt, and the baby carried
across the road in its cradle- The child
escaped uninjured. Next the barn of
Amos Harrick, in which Harrick and
John Low were shearing sheep, was
crushed, Low was blown across a
field against a tree, being instantly
killed. Other buildings destroyed
were the barns of Al Fairchild, Wo.
Henson, Perry Parlth, George Wag
oner and Charles Tucker. Tucker's
child was badly hurt. At Bookton,
a hamlet near here, nearly all the
buildings were destroyed, but there
was no loss of life.

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 "X" BAYS CURE.
Consumption, Diphtuerla and Typhoid
Bacilli Killed.
Chicago. April 18. Consumption Is
dead- Diphtheria was killed outright.
Typhoid was annihilated. Cholera
has been stunned for 14 days. Pneu
monia was barely able to resume its
work. 'Anthrax and glanders escaped
with serious injury. Influenza missed
slaughter by its position under the
tube.
This is the bulletin from the labora
tory of Professors Pratt and Wight
man, who announced to the world that
the Roentgen ray is the cure for these
diseases.
The last and final efforts to revive
the expired colonies of germs have
left four stone-dead. The investiga
tors made this positive declaration.
They claim that every possible scien
tific precaution was taken, that there
might be no possible reason for their
own deception. They are convinced
of the success of the first experiment
with the bacilli in test tubes. -
They started yesterday morning in
the laboratory a new series of trials,
which they insist will prove or dis
prove the possible use of the discovery
in actual praotioe.

The executive committee of the state
firemen's tournament met in Astoria
last Saturday for the purpose of mak
ing arrangements for the tournament
to be held at Pendleton. The rules
adopted to govern the racing at the
coming tournament are substantially
the same as those of last year, the most
important change being a provision
that no member who makes a living by
running or any athletic pursuit will be
eligible to compete. In addition to
the events that were contested last
year, there will be a tender race and
break-and-make coupling contests,
The cash prizes will amount in the ag
gregate to $1000. There will be a num
ber of other valuable trophies. To
promote general good feeling among
firemen and for the purpose of carrying
out the objects for which these tourna
ments-are held, It should be provided
thaj none but actual members of fire
departments should be admitted in the
different races. No department should
be allowed to go outside its actual
memhershlp to select even a portion
of its team.
Early Visitors.
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 ,

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.
