Tbe resent murder of Clara Fitch in
Portland is baffling the dectives of
that city. Tbey believe Frank Mc
Daniel is guilty, yet have not been
able to fix tbe guilt on bim. If they
would put a rope around his neck and
stretch b im up for a time, be probably

yet told. Evidently he knows more
about the murder than he has dls-
closed.

Portland detectives are still worry
ing their brains over the mystery of

the detectives of a whole lot of worry.

TAKING CATTLE TO ALASKA.
Radio's second Trip With Beef Cattle
Promiaea to Be Very Nnocetafnl.
The Blue Mountain Eagle, published
at Long Creek, Grant connty. is in re
ceipt of a letter from W. M. Rudio,
who departed early in the spring with
bis . second bunch ' of cattle for the
Dawson City market. It is dated June
29, 1899, at Lewis river, below Five
Finger rapids. ' He says:
We left Seattle, June z, and ex
pected to be in Dawson City,- July 2,
making tbe trip in 30 days, tbe fastest
trip ever made with cattle. I have
met with head winds on the lakes and
was delayed several days on account
of them. However, with that excep
tion, we have made good time and
have made the trip now within zw
miles of Dawson City without an acci
dent.
A scow of cattle was wrecked at Big
Salmon a few days ago, in which 14
head of cattle were lost. One was
wrecked at Five Finger rapids, in
which four men were drowned, and the
entire load of 15 tons of general mer
chandise was a total loss. The river
is very high and tbe current very swift,
which Increases the danger in travel
ing. 1
I have three scows loaded with cattle
which are manned with 15 men. We
have little or no trouble in going down
tbe river. We ran on a bar in 30 mile.
There are quite a number of people
coming out of Dawson, but there are
tnree going in to one coming out. We
met Hie first lot of miners at Lake
Bennett. They all bad a nice lot of
gold dust. Some more than tbey
could pack. The cleanup at Dawson
has been good this year. It is esti
mated between 915,000,000 and 920,-
000,000. -
AMOTBEB : FORTUNATE ACCIDENT.
Four Parties Almost aHimeolonaly Escape
'' Injury.
About 8:45 p. m. Wednesday Frank
Menefee and School Supt. Gilbert
were driving at a good rate of speed
down Union street-and at the same
time J. A. Slmonson and a youny lady
were coming up tbe street. Just as
Mr. Slmooson started to turn into
Third "street, . in front of the court
house, he saw some little children on
bicycles directly in front of bis horse,
and turning it to avoid running into
them, bis horse collided with Mr.
Menefee's buggy. - Realizing what
was about to happen, Mr. Slmonson
told ' his lady Companion to jump and
she succeeded in getting out uninjured,
Mr. Gilbert was thrown. under the
horses, being unable to help himself,
as he is only recovering from an ac
cident that befel him some t'me since,
and for a time it was thought be was
seriously hurt, but his injuries proved
to be only a bruise on tbe left leg and
a scratch on the arm. Tbe others
escaped uninjured, but how they all
got out unhurt is a mystery.for horses,
bugicies and people were badly mixed
up for a "time, ; .
. ' The tilrard Case.
The case of Frank Girard, who de
serted his company when the Oregon
regiment reached San Francisco fpr
the purpose Of going to Monmouth to
see his mother', who was reported dy
ing, has attracted considerable atten
tion all.-oyer tbe state, and an effort
is being made to relieve the young
man of any penalties that army rules
might inflict The interest of Gov
nor Geer has been elicited in bis be
half, and tbe governor has addressed
a letter to General Summers in which
he Bald in part:
While bis action was in violation
of strict military discipline, be was
coming from the war Instead of going
to it. bad performed every duty re
quired of him, and really did only
what you or 1 would be very mucn
tempted to do under similar circum
stances. 1 would be very much pleased
if you can see your way clear toward
assisting in securing his honorable
discharge without requiring his return
to San Francisco. To be atiie to ad
minister to the wants of one's dying
mother is of far more consequence than
the mere formality of being mustered
out of service after every required duty
has been fully performed."
The Batler Drag; Store.
The transformation that has taken
place in the old Snipes-Elnersly drug
store, and the changes that have been
made by the Butler Drug Co. since
they took charge cause it to look like
an entirely new place. The store bas
been divided by a partition tbat
separates tbe sale room from tbe ware
rooms, the precription case set across
the building, and everything given a
coat of white paint that makes it a
most attractive place. Tbe stock has
been replenished, so that it is virtually
a fresh stock of goods, and throughout
tbe store has been made first class in
every respect. Truman Butler . con
ducts tbe business part of the estab
lishment, while Mr. Morse presides
behind the prescription counter, and
being a druggist of marked ability and
long experience compounds medicines
in the most satisfactory manner.
Under the new management the store
is gaining in popularity and is meet
ing with a very satisfactory patronage.
. Bed Men Re turned.
The Dalles Red Men who attended
the meeting of tbe great council in
Pendleton have returned home, and

given tbem at Hotel Pendleton Wed
nesday night, they pronounce one of
the most elegant spreads to which tbey

Tbe officers elected for tbe ensuing
year were: Great Sachem, J. H.
Howard, of Oregon City: Great senior
Sagamore, Dr. S. Lewis King, of
Portland; representatives to .the great
Council of tbe United States, jonn
Micbell and J. B. Larkin. Mr. Mich
ell, of this city, was renominated for
great Sachem, but declined tbe honor,
having served- in that capacity tbe
past year, and found - the office too
ffreat a tax on bis time.
The order dnring the past year bas
been quite prosperous, it having in
creased its membership from 1009 in
1898 to 1221 in 1899.
- There are Soaae Good Crops.
The recent hot spell ceatainly did
considerable damage to crops in cer
tain localities in tbis county, but it
did not by any meansruin alt of them,
for in some places the farmers will
harvest the best crop this season that
thev have bad In many years. Mr,
Schanno recently visited a number of
farms -near The Dalles and says ne
found crops that werB surprlSing.-The
.Creighton brothers, have an excellent
crop of wheat, tbe heads being well
'filled and tbe berry is plump. -Mr.
Hill, who has a place near town bas
harvested the best bay crop he bas
ever put up. Tbe grain crop on the
Henry Snipes place below town is
better than it was last year, and on tbe
wagon blast place Mr. Schanno saw
barley that was as good as was ever

Scbanno concludes there will be more
and better grain harvested this season
than most people expected.
A PIONEER OF 1852.
John Irvine Died at Hia Home la This
. . City.
John Irvine, who has been an in
valid for several years, died at bis
borne Thursday afternoon. Mr. Ir
vine was an old and highly respected
citizen of . tbis county, having' come
here in 1852, and settled on the Snipes
place bear Rowena, eight miles below
Tbe Dalles. A few years later he
bought what is known as tbe Kelsav
place, three miles below town, where
he was married to Miss Katbrine
Keith. To them were born six chil
dren, three of whom are still living
rrank Irvine, of Antelope, Mrs. Alice
tAurenson and Mrs. Anna Spencer, of
this place. His wife died three years
ago, ana since tnen Mr. Irvine has
been an invalid most of the time.
Since 1852 Mr. Irvine had resided
continuously in Wasco county, with
tbe exception of five years be had
spent in Klamath, and during that
time he bad formed attachments and
friends who will bear witness to bis
noble qualities and honorable life
whenever his name is mentioned. In
1854, at the time of the Snake river
massacre, Mr. Irvine left his farm to
enlist as a private to fight tbe Indians.
and was with the volunteers during
tne campaign of that year.
Mr. Irvine was born . in Indiana 13
years ago, and was . indeed - a true
Westerner,' one of those, whose gener
osity Knows no bounds, and wno are
never happier than when performing
some Kino deed.
CAUGHT TWO CROOKS,
Ifejrro and White Man Arrested by Mar.
shal Hughes.
About 2 o'clock Friday morning.
Marshal Hughes received a dispatch
from Portland telling htm to arrest a
negro and white man who had probably
arrived here on the overland train.
Marshal Hughes got out of bed and
after an hour's search located his men
in tbe yards above the depot. The
white man surrendered to tbe marshal
without resistance, but tbecolored fel
low, as usual bad a razor with which
be defied the officer until Mr. - Hughes
brought a big gun to bear on him.
when the coon gave in. Both are
wanted in Portland for robbery.
The colored man's name is James E
Smith, and had on his person enlist
ment papers showlog tbat he enlisted
in Co. D, Twenty-Qfth regiment U. S.
infantry in Ohio on October 20. 1898.
Tbe company is now stationed at
Vancouver, parracks and be is probably
a deserter, uo tne wnite man was
found a letter . addressed to Walter
Smitber, county jail, Portland, and on
one corner Tas written "Return to C.
B. Eldred, Cisco, Utah." Both are
bard looking cases, and probably old
crooks. -'
ANOTHBK ROAD TO PORTLAND.
lorthern Paelfle Bay Build a Line Down
the Columbia.
The railrord surveys tbat are being
made down , the north side of tbe Co.
lumbia haye been a mystery to every
body who is not in tbe confidence of
the '.'power behind the throne," but
some light "bas been thrown on the
subject by the visit ofC. S Mellen,
president oz the Northern Kacihc uo.,
to Portland. The Telegram inter
viewed the railroad magnate, and here
is what it learned: '
Mr. Mellen said the Northern Pacific
was not backing tbe proposed road, for
which Gerlinger ' and Stapleton are
now securing right-of-way. He said
the Northern ' Pacific- had secured its
right-of-way down the Snake and Co
lumbia rivers as far as Wallula, and
had run surveys further down. He
said the Northern Pacific would build
only in tbe event of its being abut off
from traffic arrangements with the O.
R. &N.
Although Mr. Mellen did not say so
in so many words, be plainly indicated
tbat no power can shut the Northern
Pacific out of Portland from tbe East.
Tbat line's stub road from tne Sound
is not adequate to handle tbe business
of a port like Portland, and if the
Northern Pacific cannot have the use
of the O. R. & N. track, in order to
get tbe benefit of tbe easy grade down
tbe Columbia It will have a track of its
own. Mr. . Mellen is considered a
conservative man, and his statements
prove that he is fu.ly alive to the im
portance of doing business direct with
Portland., - His main forte is not talk,
but in acjion.
It is an . undoubted fact tbat the
other lines, including the Northern
Pacific, are somewhat fearful of the
Oregon gateway being closed to tbem
when the union raoibo gains control
of the O. R. & N next September.
But if tbey feel that way they are care
ful not to express it, because, as Mr.
Mellen said: .
'It is unlikely that the Union Pa
cific, which - now practically controls
tbe O. R. & N. and will do so absolute
ly after the September meeting,sbould
close tbe Oregon gateway against
other lines. It would only cause di
rect competing lines to be built to
Portland, which would hurt its inter
est much more than mere traffic ar
rangements such as are now in effect."
Tiueta-ert Found Deari.
Joliet, 111., July 27. Adolph L.
Luetgert, tbe wealthy Chicago sausage
maker, who wasservinga life sentence
in the penitentiary here for the murder
of his wife, was found dead in his cell
today. .. An Inquest will be held to de
termine whether he killed himself or
died of heart disease!
The trial of Luetgert in Chicago at
tracted, wide attention, and was one of
of the most sensational in the history
of the state. . Leutgert was charged
with having murdered his wife in tbe
basement of. his factory and cooked the
body in a vat. Tbe prosecution had
but a few small bones and two rings as
evidence that the theory was correct,
but secured conviction and a life sen
tence. .

-MUDDLED POLITICS.
The two great political parties are
today, casting about for issues on
which to wage the campaign of 1900
tike a drowning man grasping -at
starwa.- Neither - seems to know
"where It is at,"- The republicans
have been in power two and a half
years, and have failed .almost utterly
in carrying out the demands of their
last national platform. .The adminis
tration even bad it the desire to do so,
bas been unable to free itself from the
grasp of politicians and petty bosses
hence has been unable to establish a
policy or make a record on which the
party can stand next year. Besides
the party leaders aro hvided on the
paramount issue tbat will enter into
tbe next campaign. Some of the
brainiest men in tbe party oppose ex
pansion and imperialism while the
majority support the administration
on this question. Many are denounc
ing the present tariff law as a breeder
of trusts and are demanding Its repeal
or readjustment, which brings them
squarely in opposition to tbe principle
of protection tbat has ever been one
of tbe foundations of tbelr party. On
tbe money question, while the majority
of republicans favor the gold standard
yet they are afraid to take any definite
steps, or enact legislation to reform
th'e money of the country, for fear that
they will antagonize the friends of
silver and lose their votes. The
greatest dissension in the republican
party, however, will be tbe choice of
candidate next year. McKinley bas
the support of the bosses, and leading
republicans everywhere realize tbat
he must be nominated, yet they recog
nize the fact tbat he will not be their
strongest candidate, for the simple
reason tbat his administration is not
popular with the masses. But to de
feat him in tbe national convention
would be to acknowledge the weakness
of his administration and to repudiate
the principles for which tbe party has
6tood in the past, also it would alienate
many offtbe liberal -contributors to
tbe campaign fund.
Tbe democratic party is in little bet
ter condition for entering the national
campaign of next year, because of the
tact tnat democrats are not a unit on
the issues that must enter into the couj
troversy. On some questions they are
almost a unit, for instance, they are
opposed to trusts and believe the pro
tective tariff is responsible for their
existence, hence will stand shoulder to
shoulder -in opposition to the tariff
law now on the statutes. On the
money question they are pretty well
united; that is they believe in restora
tion of silver, yet many question the
expediency of making it so prominent
a feature as it was in 1896. On the
question of 'acquiring territory by ac
quisition tbey are also pretty well
united, there are only a few who favor
tbe holding of the Philippines at any
cost.and will support tbe administra
tion in its-efforts to subdue tbe Filipinos
at the point of tbe bayonet. Butlike the
republicans, the democrats are afflicted
with too prominent a candidate. If
Mr. Bryan is a candidate which now
seems almost certain, he will be the
nominee, although many feel certain
that be cannot get the undivided sup
port of the party. He has gained en
tirely too much prominence to be a
successful candidate, although chances
of election would probably be better
than tbey were in 1896, for tbe reason
tbat be stands for principles that are
dear to the masses, and is a represen
tative of true Americanism as it has
been taught for ages. -
Viewing both sides of the situation
it 'cannot be denied tbat there is a
muddle in both parties tbat will be
difficult to straighten .out before the
next campaign shall open. The re
publican party is weak because of its
failure to redeem its pledges of 18!X,
because of tbe growth of trusts under
its administration, because of its sub
servience to bosses, and because of its
war policy. On the other hand tbe
democratic party is not so firmly
united as it was in the last successful
campaign of 1892, and is at the disad
vantage of not having a recent adain
istration to .which it can point, for tbe
party of today has undergone a system
of ' evolution since tbe time when
Cleveland was its leader. Xeaders
may be able to bring order out of the
chaos before the conventions are held
next year, but it will require shrewd
manipulation if it is accomplished.
DEWEY HOT A FOOL.
The East Oregonlan is generally
right in its deductions, and it made no
mistake in its conclusions when it
said:
W. C. Whitney, secretary of tbe
navy during Mr. Cleveland's adminis
tration, is said to be in Europe with
the purpose of . inducing Admiral
Dewey to become a candidate for tbe
democratic - nomination for the presi
dency. Mr. Whitney sees in Dewey
an opportunity for the money forces,
with democratic leanings, to get con
trol in national affairs and will use his
persuasive eloquence to tbat end.
Mr. Whitney and Dewey are personal
friends and the wily ex-secretary feels
that be has more influence for this un
dertaking than shows on tbe surface.
If Dewey becomes a candidate MrC
McKinley had better not seek a re-"
nomination but Dewey would be all
kinds of a fool to give up the position
he occupies in the hearts of the people
to take Mr. MKinley's place as a
friend and promoter of tbe interests
of concentrated wealth, otherwise
known as plutocracy, and sometimes
referred to as "Tbe Money Devil.'
Dewey will not be hypnotized by Mr.
Whitney.
THE HAGUE FIZZLE.
- Tbe peace conference at Tbe Hague
has about completed its labors, and
the members will soon start on their
junketing tiip homeward, after having
spent several weeks accomplishing
little or nothing. The convention has
been .one of ..words and oratory,
theories and ideas, not action or
agreement-, for there has been no posi
tive results. It is .possible that more
friendly relations may hereafter exist
between some of the nations that
were represented in the conference,
but tbis will be counter-balanced by
animosities between others tbat have
resulted from the. heated discussions
during the convention.
The tangible results are set forth in
a series of declarations tbat have no
weight, although tbey were signed by
the delegates, but before becoming
binding must be, approved by tbe
governments represented.' First of
the declarations is one setting up tbe
fact that a limitation of military forces
is greatly to be desired, but there is
no provision suggested for such limita
tion, and - this is" about all tbat baa
come out of the disarmament proposi
tion. The principal object sought
when the conference was called was to
reduce the great military organisations
- that are -sapping up the resources of
continental Europe, but so far as this
matter is concerned the conference
was a dismal failure, for not a single
nation represented at Tbe Hague will
cut down its military forces either on
land or on sea.- There will- be just
as many men comprising the armies,
juou ao uiouj guns jjrubeubiug butr lurbi
fications, and .just as many warships
mot . ..- - . t M .f
afloat as before the conference con
vened. '
ine otner matters considered re
lating to tbe rights and duties of neu
tral powers, tbe class and calibre of
rifles and artillery, and the rights of
property on land and sea have been
referred to tbe consideration of some
future convection that will never be
called. Not a single plain proposition
to go into force at once or bind tbe
governments represented was agreed
to. The conference has been nothing
but a convention of disagreeing ele
ments which hate concluded upon
nothing except tbat certain things
should be referred to their respective
governments, and that others may be
brought up at some future conference.
ine great peace conference bas re
sulted as nearly everybody believed it
would in a perfect fizzle.
a paper upholding ueoeral Utis' or
der extending censorship over the
press reports sent from Manila insists
that the suppression of facts, "was
necessary as a war measure to conceal
the news of our movements from tbe
enemy." Such a statement is silly.
The papers published- in Manila gave
full reports of every movement of the
American a-my and were obtainable
by tbe enemy, whereas American
papers seldom fell into tbeir hands,
and when they did were at least
month old. General Otis himself gave
what was tbe true reason for suppres
sing the news when he eaid: "The
truth would alarm tbe people at home.
Labor troubles in New York and
Ohio show tbe unrest of wage earners
under present existing conditions.
Tbis is not to be wondered at. Three
years ago they were promised an in
crease of wages, and in many instances
this has been granted, but tbe increase
in wages is not in proportion to the
advance in the cost of living, and they
feel that they are unjustly treated;
that their employers are getting more
benefit from the return of prosperity
than they, and tbey insist upon an
equal division. .
The Dalles wants better water and
must have it, but will the people stand
tbe extra expense of getting it? We
believe they will and that they will
readily consent to tbe proposition for
raising the necessary funds for a pipe
line suggested in another column.
We do not approve of piling up bonded
debts for future generations to pay.
but we can pay for a pipe line in five
or six years by submitting to a slight
raise in water rates. Let the voice of
the property owners and water con
sumers be bad on tbe question.
The popular loan idea in Salem bas
proved a marked successs. The city
wanted to float $65,000 of 4 percent
bonds and in less than a week over
$135,000 has been r offered. The bonds
being floated with home capitalists
will be a big thing for Salem, as all
the interest will be kept at home. If
all publio debts were carried at home
the country would be better off. -
President Krugnr, of the Transvaal
republic, resigned but reconsidered
his resignation aud withdrew it. He
could not desert bis country in its
hour of need, when war with England
was threatened. Kruger is a solid old
man. - . .
The Northern Pacific and Great
Northern have decided not to offer any
better rates for transporting soldiers
than those given by the southern
routes, so about all we seem to have to
fall back on is climate.
If there isn't a returned volunteer
who doesn't know more about , the.
Philippine military situation than the
officers in command there, be is among
those put down as killed or seriously
wounded.
TEIWS OF ENGLISH PRESS.
Bo Immediate Cause for Trouble
Over
Alaska Boundary.
London, July 2o. The Times tbis
morning, commenting editorially upon
Saturday's . debate in the Alaska
boundary matter, says:
"Sir Charles Tupper expressed him
self with unnecessary energy, but,
looking to tbe present position of the
Alaska negotiations, we hope we may
disregard- his oratorical fireworks.
Sir Wilfred Laurier's tone was studi
ous, conciliatory ana moderate, ana as
no concessions will be made in Alaska
without Canada's knowledgo and con
sent, there is no room at present for
the pessimistic views of impatient pol
iticians in New York and Otawa.
"Judging from the utterances of
Sir Wilfred and Mr. Fairbanks, we
see norea9on for either gloom or re
crimination on either side. It will be
more dignified for the two nations to
settle theh-"idlflerences without refer
ence, to third parties, but it is alto-I
; Igether Incredible tbat the United
States should be unwilling to consent
to arbitration when other methods
have proved inefiectual. Tbelr atti
tude at Tbe Hague and in the Vene
zuelan affair makes it Impossible for
tbem to refuse to arbitrate a dispute
involving no question of national
honor."
Tbe Daily Chronicle severely re
proves Sir Charles Tupper for his bel
ligerent tone, and says:
"It is easy and obvious to say tbat
war over such an issue is not to be j
thought of, but. the situation has,
nevertheless, its serious elements of
danger. We hope tbat tbe Canadians
will not make things worse by being
impracticable. America bas some
justification in ber demands - anent
Skaewav and Dyea. "
Tbe Daily News admits that both
Canada ana tbe United States have
eood cases, and says:
"It is an intolerable situation, and
one which the Americans, as a friendly
nation, should be prepared to deal
with in a spirit of give and take. We
have a right to expect from tbem full
recognition, of the imperious needs of
a great maritime state which finds its
access to its own coast threatened by a
foreign claim."

Cape Haytien, July 27. Details of
the murder of President Heureaux, of
San Domingo, received here are to the
effect that he was assassinated as he
was about to leave on horseback for
Santiago de los Cahalleros. Tbe as
sassin, Ramon Caceros, surrounded by
several accomplices, approached the
president as be was talking wltn some
friends, and fired twice with a revol
ver. The first bullet struck the presl
dent In tbe left side and penetrated
tbe heart, causing instant death. Tbe
second bullet killed an old man stand
ing near tbe president. Tbe assassin
and accomplices then fled to avoid
shots fired at them by the president's
friends. The body of the president
was taken to the palace of the governor
of Moca.
Heureaux's death has cauBed a panic,
It is said tbat one Juan Isadro Jiml-
nez, who took part in the attempted
insurrection of June, 1898, is a candi
date for the presidency. It is reported
General Maximo Gomez, formerly
presideotof tbe Cuban insurrectionists,
who is a native of Santa Domingo, also
aspires to the presidency. The father
of Caceros, tbe assassin, was put to
death by order of Heureaux, in 1884.

In
a Canal.
Chicago, July 26. A Times-Herald
special' from Eewanee, 111., says:
The bottom of the Hennepin canal, in
Henry and Bureau counties, has fallen
out, and the Cincinnati firm which bas
tbe contract for tho construction on
this section is pushed and in dismay
at the unexpected happening.
Near Sheffield, In Bureau county,
several miles beyond the junction with
the Sterling feeder of the canal, tbe
big steam shovels were at work on a
low stretch of ground where the water
had been troublesome. Below tbe
soft super-strata of earth was a bed of
hardpan and when this was through
the water suddenly vanished. Later
it was found that tbe groand for a
hundred feet around where the big
shovel stood had sunk 10 feet.
Subsequent borings brought to light
the fact tbat no solid bottom existed
for a depth of 42 feet below tbe level
of tbe hardpan. Quicksand in the soil
is thought to be the reason for tbe
shrinkage of the ground, and tbe same
trouble bas often been experienced in
digging wells.
