Ken s Reported by Our Keg ular Correspondent. i FISHERIES QUESTION IS SETTLED. Alliance Representatives at Work Opln I Ion Conornlns tlio Elootlon of I General Palmer. Wasiiixhtoic, March 13, ISM. Editor Okkciox Scout: Mr. Blnino is very much on top this week, and his followers are talking him up as the "biggest" man in the admin istration at a greater rate than ever, and Ihe fact seems to he entirely for gotten that Mr. Maine is a subordinate ollicer, ami that he could not have ac complished the things for which he is being so highly praised without the consent of his superior ollicer, Mr. Harrison. It was a positive relief to many of Mr. Blaine's friends when the official proclamation of the president of Brazil opening the ports of that country on and after April 1, for tho free eniry of the articles mentioned in the reciprocity treaty with tho United States reached here, and was made public, for there is no denying the fact that they had allowed themselves to be partially stampeded by the persistent circulation of rumors of the treaty hav ing been rejected by tho Brazilian gov ernment. Probably one of tho proudest mom ents of Mr. Blaine's life was when Sir Julian Pounccfote, the British minis ter, called on him and presented a copy of a dispatch from Lord Salisbury tho British foreign minister, accepting his proposition made last December, to submit tho disputed questions con cerning the Behring Sea seal fisheries to peaceful arbitration, on the lines as laid down by Mr. Blaine. Nobody knows better than tho secretary of state that had this dispute led to a war with Great Britain, ho would have been held personally responsible for it by many people, who believed honestly that he intentcd when he accepted a position in the cabinet to bring about a war with that country to servo his own purposes, and the possession of that knowledge undoubtedly added lurgoly to his satisfaction in knowing that he has brought about a peaceable fco'tlement of this long continued dis pute, and to a lesser degree this solu tion of the matter is a great satisfac tion to a great many people who have been fearful that it would end in war. Senator Poflbr and a number of al liance representatives, including tho irroprussiblo Jerry Simpson, havo de voted a gieater part of this week to ul lianco missionary work in the adjoin ing state of Maryland, and one of them informs me that thero is every indica tion of the alliance being able to elect a majority of tho next legislature this fall, and a successor to Senator Gor man, who in spite of his great popu larity with the democratic party at largo has many bitter enemies in tho party ranks in his own state, who are standing ready and willing to join tho alliance in defeating him. An eminent member of tho farmers' alliance in a conversation today ex pressed himself in very strong lan guage against what ho called tho "sell out" of tho farmers in tho Illinois legis lature, which resulted in tho oloction of Gen. Pnltnor to tho United States ecnato, when it was possible to havo elected one of their own mon. "I havo nothing against Gen. Palmer," ho said, "but I um in favor of electing a man who belongs to a farmers' organization every time tho opportunity presents it self to do so, and I consider that in this caso an opportunity was either deliber ately thrown away or sold, I am not yet certain which, hut I intend to bo. Morrison and Carlislo or Carlislo and Morrison is heard quito often among tho anti-Cleveland democrats hero. Tho trouhlo about oithor of thoso tick ets is the doubt as to whethor oithor of tho gontleinon would accept tho sec ond placo on the ticket. Ono of Mr. Morrison's cloo personal friends is ro sponbiblo for tlio statomont thai ho could havo had tho second placo on tho Cleveland tiokot in '88 had ho boon dis posal! to take it. Tliuru cuoms to ho uonsldgrublQ un certainty about wlioii Mr. Harrison will appoint tlio nine judgos of tho United States circuit court, provided for in the new law. It was stated early this week upon what seemed good authority that he had decided not to appoint them until next December, hut there is a disposition to believe that this state ment was made to keep oil' the horde of insistent oilice seckors, including a number of ox-representatives. Mr. HarrUon is now away, hut he is expec ted to return tomorrow. If he propos es making these appointments soon he will probably do so before leaving on his proposed trip to the Pacific const, upon which he will start within the j next three or four weeks. I Senator Kyle took a piominent part j in the religious revival meeting here I the other night. ! Henry George passed through Wasli j ington this week. He had juM. re- turned from the Bermudas, wheie he spent the winter in search of health. : He said that his physician would not ! allow him to work and that ho was not. prepared to talk on current events fur ther than to express his belief that from this timo on political battles will be fought solely upon economic issues. J. If. C. THE WORLD'S FAIR. An Effort to bo Made to Havo;oreeon;Crcdlt ably Represented at Chicago. The committee of the state board of agriculture, consisting of J. T. Appcr son, Van B. DeLashmutt, 1). S. K. Bu ick and V. F. Matlock, have issued the following ;all which is self-explanatory : Wo, tho undersigned, a special com mittee appointed by the slate board of agriculture to prcparo and issue a call, whereby at an early date we could se cure, if possible, tho co-operation of all the people in having Oregon's material interests properly represented at tho World's Columbian Exposition, to be held at Chicago in 189.', and believing it to bo important that Oregon should take some action wherein we could unite and soouro necessary means to furnish and plan, whereby said exhibit could bo made creditable to tho state, wo respectlully request tho county courts of tho lespective counties of this state to designate and secure, if possible, the attendance of ono or more delegates to represent said county at a meeting to bo held at tho Chamber of Commerce in the city of Portland, on June 115th at 11 a. in., no county being entitled to more than five delegates. We would most earnestly urge upon the boards of trade in each county, and all good citizens, to co-operato with and act in conjunction with each other in securing tho proper represen tation to attend the said meeting, so that each section of tho stuto may as sist in determining the best means to secure tho object and purpose of this call. We aro of the opinion that this is a matter of vast importance to all classes of our population and wo leel assured that if wo can socuro a meet ing of tho representative men of each county in the state that they will bo able to agree upon some method where upon tho people of tho stato can unito for the accomplishment of tho object and purposo of this call, It will remain for your representatives when assem bled to determine the cost of, and man ner of accomplishing tho great object in view, and wo confidently expect tho co-operation and assistanco of every citizen of tho stato, including tho pub lic press. Tho people of Oregon must move in this matter if they wish to keep puco with tho procession of other Pacific coast states. Wo respectfully request tho press of tho stato to givo publicity to tho above call, so that wo will not bo under tho necessity of writing per sonal letters to any ono in this connec tion. Van B.

Our county at tho present timo, says tho Shoshono Journal, is in a deplora bly chaotic condition. Wo have now two sets of county officers, two boards of commissioners, two sheriffs, two pro bato judges, two assessors, two coroners, and to cap the climax, wo havo two county scats. Ono set of county offi cers is hibernating on tho snow banks of Bellevue, and tho other sot is bask ing in tho sunshino on tho lava beds of Shoshone. If you hayo any business buforo tho board of commissioners and tho Shoshono board decides against you, then ignoro that board and go be fore tho Bellevue board. If you steal something and Sheriff Jack Campbell of Bollovuo arrests you, then you can ask Sheriff Bubo Bobbins of Shoshono for protection. If you havo a deed you want recorded and Wcs Georgo char ges you too much, you can toll him to keep his littln recorder's office in Bollo vuo, for you can record your deed chcapor beforo Fred Chamberlain at Shoshono. If Fred Hastings, tho eld assessor wtih headquarters in tho snow bankH, assessed your property too high toll him you wont stand it, for Hilly Wells, who is in tho samo business on tho lava. beds, will do a better job for you. Tho fact is, "you pays your tax es and takes your choice" of tho coun ty olllciaU.
