of
James Creelman, a special corres
pondenl of 'he. New York World, has
been In Lincoln,- Neb., looking up the
record of Mr. Bryan, and among other
things says: - -'
When Mr. Br.y&h was in congress he
was urged to voter against the anti
trust bill Telegrams.were sent' from
the eat to Mr. Talhott asking-him to
urge his partner' to vote against the
bill. 'Mr Talbott promptly telegraphed
to. Mr. J3yaknvan the subject, and the
young 'congressman .replied that the
Interests of the .common people de
manded a law protecting them' from
the encroachments and Combinations
of corporate power.- He told bis part
ner that it was necessary fur the life
and prosperity' ot the nation that the
competitive principle should be kept
alive, and that anything interfering
with it should be restrained. '
He has constantly said that the fail
ure to enforce the anti-trust laws
was due to the apathy of the adminis
tration at Washington, and he looked
upon the selection of Mr. Olney for the
office of attorney-general as a part of
the general scheme for controlling the
government and rendering popular op
position to unjust corporate power
futile.
He has said many times that the
attorney-general should zealously
press the ami-monopoly statutes, so
that if they should prove defective
congress should promptly, perfect them;
He holds that a rich man's property
is as sacred as a poor man's, but no
more so, and that ctb government
should be able to protect Its weakest
citizen against the oppressions of the
most powerful corporations.

Work Being- Resumed.
In spite of the dull times and polit

lines appear yet to have confidence in
the return of prosperity, and are start
ing the wheels going in their estab
lishments. The dispatches announce
that-the iron mills of Ohio will resume
operations at once, putting not less
than . 10,000. operatives at work, and
from Salem, Or., comes the word that
the new machinery, of the Thos. Kay
woolen mills will be set in motion this
week. - It cannot reach its full capacity
for a few weeks yet, but the carding
process will start up at once, spin
ning and spooling will begin this week,
and within 10 days weavers will begin
to throw the shuttles.'
The new Kay woolen mills consist of
20 Knowles looms, including a set of
worsted machinery. The worsted ma'
chinery Is the only thing ot the kind
west of the Rocky mountains, and a
higher grade ol cloth will be mann
factured than has yet been turned out
on the coast. The weaving of blankets
here will be dispensed with, the com
pany having decided to make a specialty
of blankets at the Waterloo mills,
while the Salem mills will manufacture
oassimeres and worsted cloth. The
mills will be kept going night and day,
and, as soon as yarn enough is made
ahead and the broacbers for all the
looms filled, about 100 hands will be
kept employed at the new factory.

BLAINE OS COINAGE.
An Interesting Quotation From one
His Speeches.
of
James G. biaii e, in a speech de
livered In 180, said: "On the much
vexed and long mooted question as tt
bimetallic and monometalic standari
my own views are sufficiently indicatec
in the remarks I have made. I believt
the stauggle now go ng on in this-
country and othtr countries for a
single gold standard, would, if succsr
ful, produce widespread disaster in ano
througbo it the commercial world
The destruction of silver as money and
establishing old as the sole unit of
value must faaye a ruinous effect on all
forms of property except those Invest
inents which jield a fixe! return in
money. Those would be enormously
encbanced in value and would gain a
disproportionate and unfair advantrge
over other forms tof property." If a
the most reliable statistics affirm
there are i earJ$7,0(J0,'UOO,iKX) coio or
bullion in the world, very equally di
vided between sold and silver, it is
Impossible to strike uce without re
suits which would prove distressing to
millions and utterly disastrous to i s
othousands. I believe gold ' and sil
vor coin to be the money of the con
stltutios, Waeed the money of the
American people anterior to the con
stitution, which the great organic law
recognized Tas quite independent of
its own existence.1 No power was ever
conferred on congress to declare that
either metal should not be money.
Congress has therefore, in my judg'
ment, no power, to demonetize either,
If, therefore, silver has been damone-
tued, I am in favor of remonetizing it.
if its coinage has been prohibited, I am
in favor of ordering it resumed; I am
in favor.of having it enlarged."
THE CHINAMAN KK8ENTED.
Joe Daffron 8 tabbed by an Enraged China
man.
About 10 o'clock last night an altrl-
catioii occurred on First., street, ib
front of the" Salvation Army barracks',
between Joe Daffron, a white lad aged
about 19 years, and a Chinaman who
goes by the name of Charlie, a cook in
the Columbia hotel. It appears that
Daffron and a ljt of other young hood
lums bad been tormenting the China'
man during the evening, and the
Chinaman went off and armed
himself with a knife. ' When
they met in front . of the bar
racks the Chinaman asked. Daffron if
he wanted to fight, when Daffron re
sponded by striking him in the face,
and turned to. leave. The Chinaman
struck Daffron with a knife, inflicting
wound under the right shoulder
blade about one Inch In depth, sever
ing an artery and causing a profuse
flow of blood. Jiaffron was taken to
Dr. Holllster's office where his wound
was dressed, and unless blood poison
Ing should result, will suffer little In
convenience .from bis. wound. The
Chinamen disappeared .and has re
mained in hiding ever since the occur-'
rence, evading the vigilance of the
officers, and has probably made good
his escape.- ..'
'A Jolly Good Time. ....
The lawn social given by the young
ladies of ' the Ep worth 'League at the
realdence.of Mrs. Bills Friday evening
was a decided - success. --The grounds
were attractively .decorated - with lan
terns', flowers, electric, lights 'and
pretty girls. - The genial host, in her
usual attractive style, had everything
in readiness at an early hour' for the
reception of the guests. A first glimpse
of the grounds assured., the spec
tators of the good time in store
and the-. well selected program re'
fleeted credit upon the committee of
arrangements.' Among the principal
numbers on the program were a piano
duet by - Mteses Edith-, Randall and
Clara Xickelsoh, and a solo by Miss
Hilda Beck. The. recitation by Mr.
Dage, "The BlaQk Horse and - His
Kider," was the gem of the evening.
The pastor, Rev. J. H. Wood, enter
talned the visitors for some time re
lating an anicdote about the "other
black horse with whom he had a long
and difficult chase up the bills and
through the snow." Mirthful games and
delicious refreshments were Indulged
in until a late hour, when all departed
for home, regretting that the "good
time coming" was a thing of the past.
Came Near Drowning;,
Fridayevening while bathing In the
Columbia near the Regulator' dock.
Frank Thorn burg, one of the deck
hands, was seized with a cramp in the
back, and had an experience that came
near costing him - bis life. He had
been in the river some time and ven
tured out some distance from the boat
into deep water, when he cramoed and
sank to the bottom. When he rose to
the surface he called for help, but his
comraaes on board tnougnt De ws
fooling them. He sank to the bottom
eight times, and each time would give
vigorous kick and rise to the surface.
Finally John Sawneee got Into a boat
iad went o his rescue. He reached
rhornburg just as he was sinking and
Iragged him into the boat. Thorn
ourg was perfectly exhausted, and had

A FLOATING EMBANKMENT.
8ew Engineers In India Overeoma aa Ob
stacle in Ballroad BaUdlnr.
On the Calcutta and Southeastern
railroad of India an unusual construc
tion has been successfully resorted to t j
carry the double-tracked railway lines
over very soft, wet ground, which was
too unstable to support ordinary filling,
says the Indian Engineer. At the
point where the railway crosses the
Pilallee the river flows in an artificial
channel. It formerly made a bend at
this point, which carried the stream
about four hundred feet to the west of
its present course, and it thus became
necessary to carry the embankment
which forms the western approach of
the bridge across the old channel, the
bottom of which was sixty feet below
high-water mark and eighty-three feet
below the level of the line. Accord
ingly the new cut having been exca- '
vated, and the lower end of the old
bed bunded with sand bags to facili
tate silting, the embankment was com
menced by throwing in earth from the
western bank.
The soil of the locality, like that of
the Sunderbunds generally, however,
is a soft loam, highly absorptive of
water, so that the earth thrown in
speedily formed a semi-fluid slush,
which flowed out on both sides, filling
up the old channel, and then flowing
out at one or both ends into the river.
No efforts could succeed in raising the
embankment above the level of high
water, and a quantity of bamboos
which were laid down with a view to
impede the lateral motion of the earth,
after settling together with the em
bankment, reappeared after a few
weeks some two hundred feet off on
the line of outflow. At length the en
gineers, finding that there was no hope
of the earth attaining sufficient solidity
Ho bear the weight of the embankment
as hitherto attempted, adopted the ex
pedient of constructing a great float
on the same elementary principle, al
though differently applied in construc
tion, as that adopted with so much
success by George Stephenson at the
Chat Moss.
' From the iuloruuULu received at
he Oregon Crop Bureau concerning
he condition of crops in eastern . Ore
;Oi tUe following statements were
nade iu thebullelioa issued yesterday:
'Heading of all-cown wheat has com
menced in the valleys; the jielJ de
lends upon locality and bow the
ground was prepared. Some fall-sown
vheat will make 40 bushels to iheaere,
hile spring-sown will only make from
10 to 20 bushels to the acre; an average
if 30 bushels for fall-sown is generally
eottmated. - The w heat is generally in
good condition, and much of It will
make No. 1; in Wasco, Gilliam and
MOrrow counties the grade will in
sections be No. 2. The hot weather
of the previous week caused' the grain
io shrink some, but it was not injured
as was at first thought. Spring-sown
grain is poor in all localities and that
sown lace will not be tit for hay.''
Preparing For the Tournament.
The Dalles fire department has de
termined to send a team to the annual
tournaraont to be held at Astorlt, 'and
the team has begun practicing under
the orders of Captain Rodger Sionott.
The team will be composed of' twelve
of the fleetest runners in the depart
ment, and will be superior to the one
sent to Vancouver last year. The boys
are all taking a considerable Interest
In fitting themselves for the different
contests, and expect to carry away a
whole armful of laurels, in which ex
pectation they will not oe disappointed
unless the . departments vest of the
mountains are able to put up better
teams than they have in the past.
Tha Discovery Bayed His Ufa.
Mr. G. Cailouette, Druggist, Beavers-
ville, 111., says: "To Dr.King's New
Discovery I owe my life. Wits taken
with La Grippe and tried all the phy
sicians for miles about, but of no avail,
and was given up and told I could not
live. Having Dr.' King's New Dis
covery in my store I sent for' a bottle
and began its use and from the first
dose began to get better, and' after us
ing three bottles was up and about
again. It 1b worth its weight In gold.
