; WasHISutos, March 27, ISW.
' Editor Orkoo.v Scout: j
A political Ivoinbshell was exploded
among the democrats this wtek by the i
I btrtlointnt, from an authentic source, I
that the farmers' alliance had about I
succeeded in capturing another statu,
' ,i i.t ii. ,rni,,nlit.i.i t..,
mi . . . ....
ten mates sonaiors. i ne suite is ;uias -
issippi, and it is said that the alliance
j is almost certain to oloct a majority of
j the legislature thi- year, which, owing
. to' the peculiar constitution of that
j state, will elect the sttccosso,,s to Sen.-i-I
tore George and Walthall. Tlwindica
j lions of alliance succor which con
fronted Senator Walthall when he re
cently returned home are haid to have
beou the real cause of the unexpected
announcement he then made that lie
would not be a candidate for ro-clec-tion,
an announcement that was re
ceived with astonishment by his friends
bote at the time, and of which lie had
not given them the slightest intimation
previously.
The news has cheered up the work
ers tit alliance headquarters, and en
couraged them to keep up the tight
they have already begun for the con-
trol of the legislature lo be elected this
J fall in Maryland, which will elect Sen
I ator Gorman's successor. Verily the
j alliance i becoming a power in the
j bind, and the end is not yet.
j Secretary Plaine says Senator Blair
has accepted the Chinese mission, and
that he will shortly leave for that coun
try. This is ollicial and should dispose
of all tho silly rumors about, objection
on the part of China.
Ex-Uepresentativo Carter, of Mon
tana, who was secretary of tho republi
can congressional committee during
tho Waterloo campaign of last fall, and
who failed to get himself returned to
the house, has been appointed commis
sioner of the general land ofiiee to suc
ceed .lodge Groll" who recently resigned
because of a diflercnce of opinion with
his immediate superior in oflice, Secre
tary Noblu. The appointment is gen
erally credited to Russell Harrison who
is a warm friend of Mr, Carter's.
To the few peoplo who doubted the
existence tit an active ldbby in thiB
city, maintained by tho Western Un
ion Telegraph Company, the acknowl
edgement of the ex-doork'eeper of the
house of rupreaontalives, Samuel Don
oldson, who is a witness in tho murder
trial ot Charles E. Kincaid, the news
paper correspondent who killed ex
Representative Tiiulbee in a corridor
of tho cupitol last year, that ho was a
member. of that lobby, ought to bo con
vincing. Mr. Donaldson did not tell
this voluntarily; it was told in unswor
to questions of counsel that the jtidgo
compelled him to answor.
Secretary lilaine, after having been
confined to the house for a week with
an attack of gout, has resumed the ne
gotiations with tho British minister for
tho settlement of tho details of the pro
posed Ilehring sea arbitration, llo
has heard nothing further ftom the
Italian minister since the publication
of Gov. Nicholls' reply to his tolegram
concerning the killing of tho members
of the "Mafia" at Now Orloans.
Postmator General Wanuiunakor has
devoted tho greater portion of this
week to investigating for the purpose
of determining tho best way of spend
ing tho money available for tho first
year under tho act providing for tho
payniont of a subsidy to ocean sloam-
ships for carrying tho mail. Ho has
about determined to expend tho on-
tiro sum in improving tho mail sorvico
betweon the United States and South
Amoriean ports, bolioving that country
to promito tho most direct results, ow
in to the reciprocity treaty already
made with Brazil and tho expectation
of tho making of othors.
Tho Intercontinental Railway Com-
misjion has about perfected arrango-
menU to put three surveying parties
in tho field, one for oaohol the proposed
routes of tho groatost railroad of modern
times, which, if it is over built, is to 1
connect this countrv with Central ntl
South America. The idea of sen ng
out three surveying parties i.s to select
the best and most feasible route. Ex
Senator Davis, of West Virginia, who
is a member of the. commission, enter
tained his colleagues at a banquet tins
week.
Secretary Foster has been in charge
at the treasury department all this
' week. His most important act wn to
issue orders makin the recent action
of his assistant in his refusing to ex
change cold bars for coin, for shipment
abroad, unless the parties desiring the .
exchange paid the cost of melting the
coin into bars, the regular rule of the
department.

Crop-WeatUer, Bulletin Ho. 4.
The observer of the Oregon Weather
Bureau, of Portland, Oregon, has is- j
sued the bulletin for the week ending
Saturday, April, 4, 1S(.)1. This bulletin '
is made up from reports received fiom
17.'! correspondents. The various condi
tions and prospects as reported are giv
en. Statements made are from written
reports ol reliable men in every section
of the state.
IVKATIIUIt.
Cool temperature, frosty nights, show
ers, fresh winds and two cloudless days
have been the weuthor characteristics
for tho week. While tho temperature
has been below the normal for this sea
son of tho year, yet theio has been a
gradual ri.-e, but slow, in the heat each
day. The frosts were general and fre
quent, but owing to the retarded state
of fruit, buds and vegetation there was
no damage done. The showers helped
to keep the soil wot, thus delaying the
spring seeding. The dampness and
cool winds havo not beon favorable to
the young lambs and some loss thero
f i oin has been reported. Light hail
storms, doing no damage, occurred in
many sections on the 2(!th and 27th
Ulto. Snow foil in Lake county to a
depth of two inches on tho 2(!th.
CHOI'S.
While tho weather conditions aro
not favorable to a rapid advancement
of vegetation, yot it is rather beneficial
as it allows the roots to gather strength
and givos a slow but healthy growth.
Kali wheat is loporled to bo better
stooled and rooted than for a number
of years.
Spring seeding in Southern Oregon
is well along. Jn tho Willamette val
ley it is greatly delayed, except on the
higher land. In Eastorn Oregon in
some sections it is half dono; in others
just commencing. Tho acreage of
spring sown grain will bo larger than
last year.
Tho ooolwweuthor continues to check
advancement of fruit, hence is benefic
ial to it, as it is less liable to be injured
by late frosts. Fruit is farther ad
vanced in Jackson, Josopbinoand Ben
ton counties than in other sections of
tho stato. Tho snow is gradually dis
appearing from the foothills and in tho
Coast range it is nearly all gone
Warmer weather seems approaching.
The grass is growing and stock aro got-
tinu along very well.

Tho general health conditions aro

Mr. Alex. Cochran has accepted a

valuable man to his employes.
The Covo city council is contempla

seems necessary in order to prevent
the depopulation of "our town."

The creek was very much deKipula

Farmers are all buoy with plowing

Last week as Linn Fischer was mak

Springs, the front spindle of the hack

the remainder of tho trip on the back

The Paris Medal.
Slate School Superintendent McEl
roy has received the medal of hor.or
from Paris, Franco, awarded for the ex
hibit of the stato department of educa
tion forwarded by him to the "Exposion
Univorsollo," or world's fair, held at
Paris in 1889. The exhibit consisted
of a complete series of the reports, from
the establishment of the department,
in 1872 to 1879. It also included cop
ies of the following record books now
in all of the public schools of this stato,
prepared by Superintendent McElroy
and sent to county superintendents for
general distribution : teachers' register
and record book, county superintend
ents' handbook of records, teachers'
certificate books, county superintend
ents' rccoipt books, clerks' blank re
ports, teachers' blank roports, superin
tendents' blauk reports, census roports.
Tho medal is of bronze and is about
two inches in diameter. On its faco
the Goddess of Peace is represented in
tho act of placing a crown on tho head
of Labor, who is in a half-kneeling pos
turo at her side. Below those figuros
in perspective appears tho building of
tho exposition and tho Eiffel tower,
omblazoncd by tho sun rising on tho
earth's disc in the distance, whilo bo
tween tho radiating rays aro figures
giving tho dato of tho fair 1889. Tho
representation on tho roverso side of
tho medal is that of a most beautiful
and charming young woman with
trumpet in hand heralding in behalf of

that Oregon has been awarded honor
alio distinction for tho completeness of

in theso words, delicately inscribed be
neath tho figure, in raised lottors : "Eta

this medal ranks high, reflecting great
