News of the Week From Our Regular Cor rcspomteut at the Capital. Washington, septemlior is. ll. Enrrou Okkoo.v Scoi r: Mr. Harrison has been able to do vote very little time to private mnt'ci ences since his return to the Whiin House, us his time has been ully taken up with public caller! of ptomi nenee, many of whom have taken advantage of a live minute dmt, with a score of men in the room, to ny a good wotd for a friend who is an appl' cant for some one of the numerous desirable places now at Mr. Harrison'-, disposal. It is said that he iiitim.it-d to a gentleman that he woult not be gin the consideration of the new U. S. judicial appointments until about the time congress meets, owing to the moro pres.-ing nature of other btt.-ine... The court nf claim, meets forth fall session this day week, and it would be very desirable to have the vacancy u,ion its bench tilled lieloto that time It is u position that is much .-ought after, as the duties .ire not arduous and the salary is Jpli.OOO per year and the tenure lor life. All the sessions of this court are hold here in a commodious room on the giotind floor of the dopaitmeitt of justice. Somo time ago when Mr. Hairison held that much talked of conference with Senator Quay ho partially omui ised tho position, not then vacant, to a protege of the senator, but it is now stated that owing to Mr. Quay having since then openly pronounced against Mr. Harrison's nomination that bin friend will not get tho appointment. Tho two vacancies upon the inter state commerce commission .tie said to bo causing the commission consider able embarrassment and inconven ience, and a hint has been given to Mr. Harrison that early appointments will greatly please the other cnniniis sioners. It is regarded as almost certain that, the demociat to be ap pointed will bo from the smith, and ex-Uepresenutivo Clements, of Georgia, is believed to sland the best chanco of being the fortunate man. The republican will, it is thought, bo taken from the west, but there are many applicants from other sections. Ex-Senator Spooner's name had been mentioned for tho appointment, but a cluc personal friend of his, in Wash ington this week, is authority for tho statement that Mr. Spoonur will ac cept no federal ollice as ho expects to bo the republican candidate for gov ernor of Wisconsin noxt year. Mr. Harrison also has two vacancies to fill in his cabinet, as the attorney enoral was forced to confess to an Indiana republican who asked his assistance in getting a seat upon tho bench of the new circuit court, that ho had himself accepted the tender of a seat theron which settled tho other Indiana man's aspirations most ell'eut uully. This has not been oflicially announced and probably will not bo until the attorney goneral's resigna tion is handed in, and when that will bo will dopond entirely on the will and convenience of Mr. Harrison. Secretary Foster made glad tho hearts of Sir Henry Wood, Mr. James Dredge and Herr Wermuth, tho world's fair high commissioners of Germany and Great Britain, by assur ing thoin that all tariff restrictions up on importations of foreign goods for exhibition at tho fair would bo removed cither by rulings of tho department or by special acts of congress when if can bo done in no other way. Thcso gontloman aftorwardc called on Mr. Harrison and told him how much tho people of Germany and England aro interested in tho coining world's fair. Mr. Wanumaker regards his schomo for an inspection of all tho post ofllces in a county by tho postinastsr at tho county soat as an assured success. Ho has already received moro than J100 replies to his circular letter, many of thorn from democratic postmasters, and in nearly every caso tho postmas ter willingly agreed to do tho work asked of him, indeed u number of of them havo mudo the inspection and submitted their rojorlH already.

The observer of the Oregon Weather Bureau, of Portland, Oregon, lias is sued the bulletin for the week ending Saturday, Sept. 215, 1801, tho samo be ing based upon reports received from M7 correspondents, which is as follows : WESTKUN OliKCO.V. Weather. Tho fore part of tho week wasi cloudy and rainy; the latter part ; cool, generally cloudless, with fog in , the mornings. Light ftost was quito general on tho morning of the. iKtrd. j No damage is reported fiom it. This ' ik the first frost of the season. Smoko j ha entirely disappeared from tho at tuiisphete. Ciops. Harvesting of cereals is over. There are a few small amounts of wheat, and oats to thresh. There was no appreciable damage done by tint rains. Tho buckwheat crop of Clackamas county is very good; small portion of it were damaged by rain. Hops are about all baled. Experi ments show that sugar beets and sorghum do very well in Washington county. Tho rains softened tho earth sufficiently to allow of plowing in many counties. In portions of Linn county the corn is not ripening woll. In Douglass county the wheat was not over an averago in quantity and qual ity per aero; oats are, however, abovo tho average. In Jackson county grapes arc ripening anil wine making will begin next week. In Curry coun ty a 200 acre field of barley, oats and wheat averaged HO, 51 and .'III bushels per acre respectively. Koports indi cate that every ono is woll satisfied with tho result of tho harvest. KAHTKItN OKKCIOK. Weather. Tho foro part of tho weok was cloudy, and occasional showers fell; the latter part -vas generally cloudless and cool, with frosts on tho 20th and 2,'inl, the first general frosts of tho season. Crops. Harvesting and threshing is generally over, except in Union, Wallowa and Baker countios whero threshing is being finished up. Crops have been secured without any dam ago from climatic conditions, as is tho rule. Largo yields are reported from cvory county, varying from 40 to (H) bushels per acre. Tho avorago yield varies from 15 bushels por aero in somo localities, to IH) and 10 bushels per aero in othors. In Union county, for example, ono field of 000 acres averaged a fraction over 40 bushels per aero. Tho corn in Umatilla coun ty is unusually good. Tho fruit along tho Snako river was novor so good and plentiful. In Wasco, Umatilla and Union counties tho orchards are tilled with fruit, and tho smaller orchards of of tho other counties havo done re markably woll. Tho harvest has been ono of plenty, and tho quality of cereals and fruit a good avorago. B. S. l'AGUE, Obsorvor, U. S. Weathor Bureau. Tho Boomers, To read tho news from Oklahoma, one would think that tho Union was full of mon eager to engago in tho till ing of tho soil. Thousands of ostensi ble settlers, vrhito and black, aro encamped on tho borders of tho res ervations which aro about to bo opened to occupation ; and when tho embargo is raised at tho signal from Washington, tliey will pour over and tako possession of tho Holds which lio waiting their coming. Deeds of vio lenco aro already reported from among them, so great is their excitoment, and tlioy aro armed with shotguns and riiles which It is feared they will use freely to sottlo their disputes as their contests reach their consummation. Do those mon really want to bocomo farmer? Aro they sincerely oeiml with an ii"utlublo yearning to drivo tho plow itorom tho rich pruirloH, to overturn tho oll and to sow and reap tho ImrvuvUY A ml In order tlmt tliuy may iioUkjUiwuiM of (Mir hwiMUoii, urti (lio ilJiil(iiiK Ui Mil liwi'l" hlj4 III m!hum:, wi'l jwly U) )flit oliouM Jt Dim out i tmmy1 If this is true, it is cei tainly very curious. In Now England, close to largo cities, farming land can bo had for nominal prices, and in Minnesota there aro thousands and thousands of acres which have never homo a crop, ami which promise a handsome return to him who 1ms the energy and courage to cultivate them. In the states west, of us arc quarter sections after quarter sections which wcro taken from the j government by men masquerading us j actual settlors in tho years gmie by, j lying as they did when the Indians owned them, except for the urim men tation which a foreclosed nmrlgago affords. If there aro so many tillers of the soil out of a job, why do they not take up these districts, which cm bo had without tho um of either a shotgun or a rille? The reason i- tbat they mean work, self-denial and pi tience. It is not for these things ih.u the boomer is looking. He does not want, a farm to till. He wants a farm to sell. His tools are not. th" plow and threshing machine, but the mini gage and promissory note. The host encamped in Oklahoma is not a colony eager to produce. It is a horde of speculators, ready to destroy. St. Paul Globe. ALICEL NOTES.
