THE OEEGON SCOUT JONES A: CHANCEY, Publishers. UNION, OREGON, THE RAILROAD POOLS. Reorswnlzatloii of "Western Pools Necessary to Secure Harmony. Chicago special: It Is firmly believed by certain prominent railroad inon that thcro is no probability that tho western freight association will ever bo recognized again and there is a prospect that tho trlpnrtlto combination (tho Western Trunk associa tion), which entails heavy expenso upon tho Itock Island, Milwuukco and St. Paul, and Union Pacific, without any benefit being derived therefrom, will soon bo aban doned. Tho indications nro that now com binatlons will bo formed thissummcr which will inclutlo tho traffic of tho nbovo named association, as well as thnt hcrctoforo pooled in tlio Northwestern traffic nssocla- tlon. Tho fact has been established that neither of theso pools can bo managed sue ccsBfullv separately, but tho opinion is ox- pressed thnt combined thoy may provo of considerable benefit nnd insuro nminte nanco of uniform rates. Tho terminus of tho now combination is to bo extended to Choycnno on tho Union Pacific and 151b- marck and Farco on tho Northern nnd tho Manitoba roads. At tho samo timo tho Southwestern Hallway association Is to bo extended to include tho Kansas business of tho Atchison. Tonekn& Santa I'e, MiHsonri Pacific, and other Knnsns roads. If tho Santa Fo does not sccuro favorablo rccog nitlon by tho Southwestern Rnilwny asso elation, it may carry out its threat to be- gin uiul llnish an independent lino lo uu enco. which tho oxistinc lines between Chi cago, St. Louis and Kansas City aro anxious to prevent.

J. lie rciusul ol tlio second nuditor or tit a treasury to audit tho pay account of Gen eral Adam Unclean, of tho retired list ol tho army, has brought about a good deal of comment on tho custom now in voguo of finding protests for disallowing claims ngaiust tho government. It Is alleged that the principal nim of tunny of tho account ing o Ulcers Is to find pretexts for disallow Ing claims. General ltadcau was appointed by Presl dent Grunt to bo consul general in England, Ilndcuu was then on tho retired list of tho army. Ah a man cannot draw two salaries from tho government, lie did iiotnsk for his salary uh a retired army ollicer whllo in tlio consular service. Recently, however, ho was Hupurrcdcd iu that position and enmo home. According to custom ho ro- signed Ids position on tho ictlrcd list the day ho retired from tlio consular olllco. A fow days ngo ho called for his salary as a rotired officer and was informed that whou ho accepted an appointment ho lost his pinco on tlio retired list, and tliat His uccount would not bo allowed or audited, so General lludouu has brought suit for his salary. Ho holds that a man cannot o taken from tho rotired list of tho army or navy, except by ordor of tho prcsldout, vr a law specific. It is believed his point "111 hold good. Tlio FiifrlUvo Parsons.

Their ?Ictliol Expotcd b)r a Captain ofChlcago Police. Chicago dispatch: Notwithstanding the fact that it had been positively stated thnt not ono word of testimony in the anarchist investigation beforo tlio grand jury would be divulged until that body concluded its labors, a morning paper comes out with n tongarticlo going to show that tho testi mony of Police Captain Schnnk was of n far more interesting character than hns been generally supposed by tho general public. In fact, it was sensational nnd hair-raising in tho highest degree. To begin with, ho told tho jury thnt ho hud no doubt that tho prisoner, Ling,', had manu factured a number of dynamite bombs, nnd that ho got tho material from tho Arbciter Zeitung ofllcc. lie hnd witnesses to provo this. Ono of tho witnesses wns a qusal accomplice of Llngg, whose nnmo ho rnniiM,ln,l t,,f. t r lift nol'ml 4n .I!....!.... Ho could give the detals of tho muuufuc-1 turo of tho cxnlosivcs and tell who oro tho principal parties concerned therein with Lingg. There were four persons, and only Lings and ono other wero under arrest. Tho second section of tho captain's test! mony was listened to with breathless silence. "I think," said Schuack, "that I have got to tho bottom of this business. In a couplo of days I will have it all; but I want nioro time. Then I can nrovo hevond doubt thnt this anarchist cousniracv has existed noro ior years, i hero aro two divi sions ot it. Ono is an agitating section Money is set apart for its purposes. This is called the socialist section. Besides this there !h an armed party, an anarchist sec tion. Theso drill and aro trained in thouso of explosives. Thoy practico and oxneri ment in accordance with tlio instructions of pamphlets. I will nroduco witnesses to provo all, nnd I think I can also provo that tucro was n won laid plan tosack and hum tho Itimncr districts iu Chicago on Mu y 4 It would havo been carried out but that the anarchists lacked tho nervo nnd wero unprepared for the vigorous action of tho police. .Men wero tolled off to sot flro to certain houses in tho northwestern portion of tho city, nnd others wero tolled off to throw bombs into thcDohcostations. whllo others wero to uso bombs at tho mooting IliU fwniu tll'i'VllljlbCU LtJ uisjjuinu It. think I can connect evorv man of the socialists now in jail with theso crimes Tho houses to have been burned in tho northwestern section of tho citv wero to bo selected indiscriminato'y. Tho purposo of burning wns to attract thonttcntiou ot the nonce to that section nnd draw thoin awnv irom tno main points ot attack, tho Hay market square and police stations. Tho fnrly dispersal of the crowd in tho smmrc, tho premature throwing of tho bomb, for it was premature, and lliodotormiiied resis tanco ol tho police, frightened tho would-ho incendiaries and those who wero to attack tho police barracks in detail." A juror asked, with something liko troni dation, whero tho witnesses to 'provo this conspiracy were. "In tho lockup of tho polico station," Schaack replied. "I can produco ns many of thoin before tho grand jury ns may bo deemed wiso nnd necossnry. They have confessed their complicity tonic." Captain Se'.ianek then explained how didlcult he found it to got anything out of the anarch ists arrested. Besides his pamphlet on dynamite nnd other revolutionary methods, Herr Most hns also prepared a puinphlot or circular containing instructions to members ot the organization of which ho seems to bo head. as to how they shall act when arrested, what answers they shall mako to tlio qucs tions of tho polico olllcors. to tho investiga tinggrand juries and others. Ho hnd found that anarchists whom ho had questioned hnd acted implicitly on theso instructions so far, with a lew exceptions. Thoy hud been well drilled. Ho hnd a copy of in structions. Ho would produco it. Tho now-astonished grand jurors readily assented to tho proposition of tho polico ollicer, which was backed up by tho state's attorney, to give him tnoro time to com nleto Ids chain of ovidencc, bo ho could bring guilt to tho very doors of tho leaders of tho anarchists in Chicago, somo of whom nro yet at large, but under closo nnd con stant watch. It would reqniro onlya littlo timo. Ho would bo prepared next week. New evidenco is coming to hand hourly of tho extent of tho armament and organiza tion of theso scoundrels who sought to in nugurato in Chicago, that inomornhlo Tues day night, a roign of terror which would hnvo surpassed tlio wildest flights of tho Paris commune. A Woman's Career or Crime. A special dispatch from .loliet, III., says: The double suicide of Mrs. Black and Albert Wylcr, at Frankfort, has recalled to tho neighbors circumstances which point to- ward a career ot crime on tho part of tho dead woman. When only 10 years of ago he married a man named Schlotiuan, aud wo years later their first born was found inn well. In 1SGS John Black and wlfo iimo from Germany and were hired by .Schlotiuan. Tho families becamo quito in timate, and in a short time Mrs. Bl ick died suddenly. s'chlotman's death followed soon after. Black was In Michigan at this timo and the widow- sent tor him, and in n short time married him. Lust Christians Wyler was hired, and two months later Black died. All thesedeaths wero mysteries nnd doctors always called, but arrived too late to do anything. No suspicious wero entertained on account ol tiio wealth and respectability ol the family. A short lime sinco the widow's son discovered illicit ro tations between her and Wyler, aud n family council demanded Wvlor's discharge. Tho widow refused, and on Sunday evouing came tho double suicide -or perhaps mur der nnd suicide by tho ono to whom theso facts point. After tlio Anarchists.

St. Louis special: Tho sensal:.inal testi mony of the day in the trial of Maxwell was given by J. F. McCullough, :i detective, who under the ditcctlou of Detective Tur long, Disliict attorney Glover -md Ins it sistnut (McDonald), forged a check, on un Eastern houso nnd presented i, at their hank. He was arrested and poured in jail and assigned to tho cell adjoining that of Maxwell. He testified that immediately after his incarceration lie introduced him self lo Maxwell and worked himself into his confidence, nud about ten days afterward ho became engaged iu a con versa Won with Maxwell ubout the hitter's ca-i. During this conversation the defendant told tlio witness that the only point in the eu-3 about which lie Tell uncertain and uneny was that concerning the money. He said thnt if ho could only prove that he had plenty ot money when Preller caino lo 1. Louis ho would havo no anxiety about a speed v acquittal. The witne oflered tu tlx that all right, but told defendant that lie must know ullabotit thecn-eorhcctild do nothing. Maxwell then made a Irceund full confession of all the particulars of tho case, beginning with his lirst ac quaintance with Preller. Having on ship board noticed that Preller had in his possession a large amount of ti.oncy, how they separated iu Boston, he coming to Philadelphia aud Maxwell to St. Louis. The defendant in his confession said that on tho Friday night after Preller joined him iu this city he told him (Maxwell) Mint it would be impossible for htm top.iy the defeiidnnt'H way to Auckland, whithet they hnd arranged to go together. ThK said the defendant to tho witness, angered him greatly, and he determined then to ' lix him" for his meanness. On the follow ing night he and Preller wer? sitting in the former s room when the latter complained of severe pains iu his side. M.xxivell said: "Oh. I can lix that all right 1 have treated such cases before." lie then in jected hyperdcrmicnlly iu Ids f.-iend's arm a sufficient amount of morphine to render hint , unconscious.

Ho then secui ed PreMer's money, about $800 in all, besides most of hi effects, and planned his escape, the details of which are well known. AfterthoconcliiHion of McOrlongh'a t-.-sli mony the court adjourned until " o'c'oek, when his cross examination was procodod with. After the noon recess and in tho further examination of the witness ho pro duced two letters which ho had received from the counsel for the defence after lie hud gotten out of jail, and while ho was .'u New York.

Fulling iu this ho brought out his family history, which, however, did not provo derogatory. Then lie tried to offset the effect of tho testimony of tin witness by reference to the detective meth ods which had been employed, but the wit ness passed through tho ordeal in hiicIi ,i straightforward manner Unit tho effort ti break down his testimony faded com pletely. After Mr. Fouiilleroy, hiHUHsoiiute, Mr. Martin, tried his hand on the witness, but in vain, aud tho session cloned with tht cowering Maxwell for once in his life awak ened to such an interest in the trial that Ik forgot his usual afternoon amusement o criticising tho various styles of feaialt beauty represented in tho ivudieuce THEY ARE NOT ANARCHISTS.
