fi THE WEEKLY HEPPNER GAZETTE FEBRUARY 11, 1892, 9 4 BLAINE OR HARRISON. Robert T. Lincoln or a Oark Horse. Til 'KOBAI5LI' CANDIDATE lteiubllcan4 Scliemiie; to Advance Ilie Interest of Fitvorite PreMlrtontiitl PogxlullltleH lllnine May Couient to Kun If He Is Well Enough. New York, Feb. 5 The Hon. Stephen B. Elkins, Secretary of War, arrived at the Fifth avenue hotel last night from Washington. The visit of Secretary Elkins so soon after the pilgrimage of the Hon. Thomas C. Piatt to the capitol is regarded as significant by those who understand what is going on in the Republican party in the State. Mr. Piatt denies that on his visit he called on the President. He says that he went to the City of Magnificent Distances for the purpose of securing certain contracts for the United States Express Com pany. The facts might just as well be known now as at any other time. Mr. Piatt is directly, emphatically and positively opposed to the re-nomination of Presi dent Harrison. It has been considered good Republican politics in the State for the last several months to give out that the State machine was for Harrison. There has been a string to all these statements. Mr. Piatt has nothing to thank Mr. Harrison for. He is for Blaine as his first choice; there is no mistake about thin statement. The visit of Mr. Elkins to New York may mean that Mr. Harrison is alive to the situation. Mr. Piatt and all his friends are waiting anxiously some word from Mr. Blaine. General (Jlarkeonand others in the national republican com mittee have advised Mr. Blaine to stand as a candidate. He is now soliciting their advice. He does not feel very well at times and occasionally it is said he feeU like writing a letter to some per sonal friends declaring that he will not become a candidate. With Mr. Blaine out of it, his friends have an idea that Mr. Harrison will have first chance in the Minneapolis conven tion. But New York State reports are at least the dominant element in the party, and there is talk about another candidate. This candidate is Robert T. Lincoln, now minister to the court of St. James. It is said that Senator Hiscock differs with Mr. Piatt in this opposition to Mr. Harrison, but Mr. Hiscock disagreed with Mr. Piatt at Rochester over the nomination of J. Sloat Fassett lor gov ernor. Mr. Piatt on that occasion told Mr. Hiscock that Fassett was to be the man and Mr. Hiscock acquiesced. Tlie lirlliali Ship Victoria Not Soil, i inly I iij 11 re il. Vi.ktta, Malta, Feb. 5 A dispatch from Athens announces that tho British man-of-war Victoria, which went ashore on the Greek coast, lias been lloatcd by t he etibits of tugs and lighters sent from Perseus. Only her outer shell was broken by the rocks. She will be towed to this port, where she will be put into the drydock for repa:rs. She is expected to arrive in about a week. Her guns, which were unshipped to lighten her, will be brought on by the steamer Tyne, which helped to pull her off. Coneressloual Sub-Committees. Washington, D.

San Antonio, Tex., Feb. 5 It has now been established beyond doubt that Otto Hauser, who was found dead in a park on October 20th, was the Nihilist, Stan islaus Padlowski, who assassinated Gen eral Michaei Desiliverskoff in Paris, November 18, 1890. Dr. Lewis Schroeder, of Buffolo, N. Y., who knew him in Warsaw, Poland, writes here that Hauser was Padlowski, and that to avoid detection he traveled under different names ; in Boston being known as Otto Hoffman, in New York as Otto Heller, and in Buffalo and Jexas as Otto Hauser. Padlowski wrote Schroeder that he feared he would be delivered up to the Russian government, but declared that he would never be taken alive. He Will Probably rlay FirAt ltae Willi the New York Club. Cincinnati, Ohio, Feb. 5 There is a new play on foot of interest to the National Baseball leaguers. Buck Ewing is positive that his arms are all right and he has decided to urge New York to sign Long John Reilley to play first base.

AN EMBARRASSED BARON ,:a!TE;affB Attached for llaht-lame to ,Mrry an American f.nly. NkwYork, Feb. 5 Baron Raymond De Sulliere, whose approaching mar riage to Mrs. l.ivermore is a favorite topic in society, arrived yesterday on the steamship La P.urgovne from Havre. No sooner had he set foot on the shore than his baggaze, coi.iprising 17 pieces, was attached by Deputy Sheriff D. G. Torry. The attachment was made on a judgment for $4,606 obtained against the baron on December 4, 1889. The baron, who is at the Brevoort house, said the matter was very unfair to him, as the debt would have been paid at once upon his being apprised of its existence. It would be settled to day. During the day he called on Mrs. Livermore at the Cambridge. The news of the baron's embarrassment and the unpleasant gossip to which it gave rise annoyed her very much. hut Arr-Hl a Again on a Charge of" Per jury In a Libel Suit. London, Feb. 5 Mrs. Osborne, who surrendered herself to the police yester day to answer charges in connection with the theft of jewelry belonging to Mrs. Hargrave, was formally arraigned before Lord Mayor Evans this morning. The lord mayor held court in the old council chamber in Guild hall. The court room can accommodate only 2 0 persona and the crowd anxious to listen to the proceedings was so large it was found necessary to detail an extra force of police to keep order among the peo ple. Mrs. Osborne appeared in court heavily veiled and accompanied by her husband. She seemed utterly broken down and in every way she appeared to appreciate her painful position. A representative of the treasury ap peared and stated he had no evidence against the prisoner, whereupon Mrs. Osborne was discharged. Mrs. Osborne was immediately re-arrested on the charge o( perjury for testifying in the libel suit brought by her against Mrs. Har grave. She was taken to the police court, where, after examination she was remanded to jail for a week. He I1kI of Erysipelas Hospital.

San Francisco, Feb. 4 Conductor Treatheway and three brakemen of the southbound freight on the Southern Pa cific railroad were attacked at Colma yesterday by five tramps whom they put off the train. The conductor re ceived an ugly gash in the head from a lantefn which the tramps took from him. The tramps then pro ceeded to Baden station and misplaced a switch so that the passenger train com in north ran into a number of loaded freight cars on the side track. The train was running slowly as it was ap proaching the station, so that no one was hurt, but the locomotive and ex- nress car were badly damaged. Sheriff Kinne and a posse, of Redwood City, are looking for the tramps. Wnre ihan the Grip. San Antonio.

Prisoners Plan to Jfiscape but are Made to Divulge The.r Pia'i. Detroit, Mich., l"eb. 5 Wednesday a deputy sheriff saw signs of a conspiracy among eight prisoners in the county jail to escape, lie was not able to discover their methods of operation and their tools, but it was found that iron bars in a window had been nearly sawed in two. In the cellar of the building are three cells called "dark holes" as bad as those in English jails which Charles Reade tola ot. xney are very not ana close. There are iron rings six feet from floor and similar rings near the floor. Six of the suspected prisoners were manacled to these rings at 4 p. m., yesterday, their arms being stretched above their heads. Thev were left in this position all night. The torture was frightful and all were ready to tell everything this morning. Thev agreed that George Daily, alias Miller, charged with larceny, was the leader, and the tools were given up. Back of the sink in ward six was found a saw made out of the shank of a wo man's shoe, fastened to a piece of broom handle, and in another place a large jacknife, the large blade of which had been notched into a saw. Among the conspirators were Charles Price, George Jefferson and Edward Cor nell, who are awaiting trial on the charge of having committed a daring burglary. One of them was kept in a dark cell until noon today, when he fainted. THE IDAHO ION I'EST Washington, D. C, Feb. 5 Senator Stewart, of Nevada, is and has been for several weeks throwing every possible obstacle in the way of a settlement of the contested seat of Senator Dubois, of Idaho. Mr. Stewart is about the only Republican Senator who is in lavor of the claim of Mr. Claggett, the contest ant, but there is no possibility that Mr. Dubois can be disturbed in his seat. The committee on privileges and elec tions were unanimously in tavor ot nis undisputed title to the seat and every Republican Senator, except Mr. Stewart will doubtless vote for him. The Nevada senator has, however, still kept up the fight and until today no explanation of his peculiar course has been forthcoming. It is now learned what the trouble is. It appears that during the fiftieth Congress Senator Stewart was much opposed to the ad mission of Idaho in the Union. He wanted to see the territory divided, the lower half to be attached to Nevada and the upper half to become a part of the State of Washington. The senator real ized that Nevada was being rapidly de populated and that new blood and new territory were necessary to its continued existence. Senator Dubois, then a delegate, made a strong speech tor Idaho and won. Mr. Claggett, who now wants the seat of Mr. Dubois, was, it is said, iu favor of Mr. Stewart's plan to split Idaho in twain and give his bejt efforts to the move ment, nenutor otewait its now lucuueu to assist the man who then assisted him. Mr. Dubois, notwithstanding, will retain his seat in the Senate without serious opposition. Struck Heayy Weather.

ANTI-OPTION. The Investigation Before the Committee Continued. Washington, D. C, Feb. 6 In the anti-option investigation today Whitaker said the tendency of short selling was to depress prices and interfere with legiti mate trade. The farmers, he said, were not compelled to market their grain in stead of storing it, but the experience of the past eight years taught them with this unlimited short selling the best time for them to sell grain was when it was harvested. Whitaker said the wheat exported this year probably averaged in price 95 cents a bushel and if this proposed law had been in force he believed it would have brought considerably more than a dollar a bushel. He did not think the law would hurt the owners of grain or provisions because if fictitious offering was done away with the market would be supplied with actual grain or pro visions and there being smaller quan tities offered the priceswould De better. In his judgement fictitious selling produced an abnormal condition of the market, which defeated the law of sup ply and demand. He frequently re ceived letters from Europe saying the writers conld pay better prices for meats if the American market would only be kept steady. In reply to a number of questions Whitaker said in the last eight or ten years the speculative business had grown immensely, and he thought there were more sellers than buvers. A White Councilman Would Not Serve ou a Committee Wi h a Negro. Baltimore, Md., Feb. 3 There was a mild sensation in the first branch Coun cil chamber when, after President Seim had announced a sealed communication from the mayor, Councilman Cummings, the colored member from the Eleventh ward, moved the appointment of the usual committee of two to invite the second branch into convention to con sider the paper. The chairman named Messrs. Cummings and Barnes. The latter declined to accompany his colored colleague. President beim appeared vexed and addressing the members said : The member Horn the tJirstwara declines, for reasons best known to himself, to accompany the member irom tne Eleventh ward to the second Drancn chamber. If some member will take my place in the chair for the time being I will go with Mr. Cummings myself." No one seemed anxious to become pre siding officer pro tem. and the chair then assigned Mr. Berry to the task. Mr. Berry accepted and the incident was closed. Councilman Cummings is practicing law in this city. He is the only colored man ever elected to office in Maryland, and he has twice been chosen a member of the first branch of the City Council. He is a Republican. He lias No Kecjiieutlo.. ot Mis Assault ing Two Women. Marysville, Cal., Jan. 29 Tom Ford, whose exploits as a burglar and his subsequent escape set the whole town talking, has been captured and the expedition that was to have been made tnis morning for the purpose of drag ging the slough for his body did not take place. Umeer urane went to Dora's house at 8 o'clock last night and it was not long be.ore he saw the figure of a man moving about, evidently maKing a reconnoitre of the premises. The man started off once but returned and the officer commenced to crawl toward him on hiB hands and knees. The man whistled softly, as if to attract atten tion of some one in the house. Ford yielded gracefully as when found he was cornered. He accom panied the officer to the police station without making any resistance. When questioned be said he know nothing at at all oi what had happened the night before, and asked the officer what he was wanted for. When told the circumstances of the attempt at burglary, he said he had no recollection of anything tnat occurred after he started for home from town, but he knew when Officer McCoy called for him that he had done something wrong. He made his escape and returned to his home in order to get some dry clothing, something to eat and money enough to have carried him away. Ford had been in the water an hour, and his clothes were wet clear to his neck, and it is probable that while the officers were searching along the banks of the river and slough he was near by. He took the matter very coolly at the police station. Nothing was found on his person except his pocketbook, knife and keys. It is known tnat he had been drinking some the night before. Mrs. Keitley and Miss Davis, whom he assaulted at their home, are now out of danger. Ooldwin Smith Expressed Regret at England's Attitude, Wasiiinoton, D. C, Feb. 3 Goldwin Smith made a few remarks at dinner last night to Captain Schley, of the cruiser Baltimore. He said he gladly took advantage to express his regret as an Englishman at the reported utterances of a portion of the British press respect ing the Chilian affair. He said he hoped the tforst had come to the United States and the best stayed behind. Speaking of the criticism of the President's mes sage on the Chilian question, Smith said tnat to him it seemed entirely temper ate. dignified and logically conclusive. Captain Schley also spoke briefly. He said the steamer Baltimore always stood as the representative of the great power under whose flag it sailed. He referred to the efficiency of the crew of the vessel, and said if circumstances during the late Chilian affair had re. quired it, he thought the members of the crew would have acted in such a manner as to merit the approval of the government. The cloud of war had now blown over, the Captain said, but the affair proved very suggestive of the fact that war is liable to come upon the nation at any time. He hoped it would serve as a warning to the people and demonstrate that it is time to consider the means how beet so protect the country and its flag. Khiiiuc.v omt.

Kansas City, Feb. 5 Dick Breeze, convicted of embezzling $10,000, will not wear stripes. Marshal Stuart had so much faith in Breeze that he allowed him to go on errands all over the city. He went from the jail unattended to his trial and returned after conviction. Last night Governor Francis met Mar shal Stuart and instructed him to bring Breeze to the penitentiary today. Stuart ordered Breeze to "O to the pen itentiary prepared to serve his term of two yearB. Breeze was turned loose from jail this morning, took a train for Jeffer son City, reported to the warden of the prison and while preparing to don stripes was pardoned by the governor. Ind am Still Believe That the Whites Will be Ueslroyt-d. Chicago, Feb. 5 Captain Eli L. Hug gins, aide-de-camp to General Miles, re turned this morning from an extended trip in the Indian Territory. He was sent there to investigate and report on the rumors of ghost dancing among the Indians there. "The Arapahoes, Cheyenne and Osage Indians still cling to the belief that the Messiah will some day appear to save them," said Captain Huggins, "and they are not at all disappointed in the failure of the Messiah to come among them last year. They do not pretend to know the date of his coming. The former frenzy among them and their excited dances have given way to a quiet belief which has almost become a religion with them that the whites are to be destroyed and that the Messiah will come. No out break is feared." Will Benefit Privates. Berlin, Feb. 5 The order issued by Prince George of Saxony, as inspector of the general German army and commander of the twelfth army corps, calling upon officers of that corps to stop the inhuman treatment practiced upon privates by non-commissioned of ficers, will very likely result in amelior ating the condition of the'privates of the whole army and free them from the brutal tyranny ot low grade officers. The matter was discussed today by the budget committee of the Reichstag and it was resolved to favor greater publicity in proceedings of military tribunals and the punishment ordered by those courts.

Louisville, Ky., Feb. 5 A disastrous fire occurred at 5 this morning in the office of the Central tobacco warehouse of Edwards, Barnard & Co. on Main street. W. S. Edwards, the senior member of the firm, was burneu to death. He was asleep in a room at the time and it is supposed he never awoke. The dead oody was found at 8 this morning after the fire had consumed everything, leaving only the blackened walls. Edwards was 55 years of age and unmarried. He had tor years been sleeping over tne omce. lie was widely known throughout tnat State, and very wealthy. The loss is $75,000, fully insured. This morning about 11 o'clock Officer Tate while walking about the ruins and against the rear wall, found a bundle of rags and kindling wood thoroughly sat urated with coal oil and tieu togetner. In the ruins he found a portion of another similar bundle which makes it almost a certainty that the conflagration s carefully planned. Also gives rise to the theory that perhaps Edwards caught the intruder in tne ounaing anu was murdered by mm.
