By con densed report from Montgomery, Oswe go, Schell, Oneida, and Madison coun ties, it is estimated that the hop crop this (ail will not be over one-quarter of the ' average yield. Three weeks ago pros pects were never brighter, but now the ' yards are literally covered with lice, Eng lish flies, and honey dew. Either, ap pearing at this stage of the vine's growth, aururs failure of the crop. Of eighteen yards, near Shaston Springs, visited none bad escaped their ravages. The leaves are dry and curled, and growers who de pend wholly upon their crop are very de spondent. Where 4 and 6 cents were offered for last year's crops three weeks ago, now its ana is cenis are eany ud tained. Very few old hops are in grow ers' hands. Cox likely to Coma Homo. Washington, July 7. It may almost be considered a settled thing that lion S. S. Cox will shortly resign his position as U. 8. minister to Turkey, and seek a re-election to congress, lie says in a let ter to a friend he would be more at home in congress, although he had been re ceived with great honors and cordiality at the sultan's court. It is said his suc cessor will be Chas. E. Arthur Gayarre, of Louisiana, who is widely known at the South, and also of nign literary attain' menta. Oregra Swamp-trad Case. Washington, July 7. Nothing lately has received so much attention in the in tenor department as the decision of the Ore eon and California swamp-land cases. A decision has at last been prepared and submitted to the secretary which will practically dispose of the whole business, It is thought probable that settlers who have gone on lands in good faith, suppos ing them to be eovernment lands, will not be molested. Oregon' Interests la Gong-res. Washwoww, July 7. Hermann has secured the re-establishment of the poet- office at Willow S prints ; Nicholas Cooke postmaster.

It is freely predicted that McDonald of Indiana, ex-senator, will succeed Gar land. A Sew Wool Coaler. Chicago, July 8. The Tribune says: This city is rieing toward the rank of the first wool market in the country. Re ceipts in Chicago from the clip of the present season, up to date, are about 40 per cent, larger than ever before. Seven new firms have o:ened in business within two years. The wool of the west is com ing to Chicago to tind a market, and finds it. Eastern manufacture! s have lately forsaken their old stamping ground in Boston, to buy raw material here, and there is no slack in the demand. Chi cago is completely leading the east The fact that Boston has received up to date some 20.000 bales less of wool than at the same time last year, is widely be lieved to be due to an attempt by a tew firms in that city to control the situation, by keeping transactions secret. The fact was taken advantage oi Dy wiae-awaae wen hi Chicago, and the result is as above. JU 2 m pro bob L Rumor. New YBr, July 8. A special to the Herald from Long Branch says : The late ex-District Attorney Corkhill, of Wash ington, at the time of his death, was pre paring a narrative for publication of the shooting of President Garfield by Guiteau, which would contain new and startling evidence to the effect that the murder was the result of a deep-laid, diabolical plot, in which many persons were con cerned. Cork lull received letters from Gniteau's wife which implicated two prominent politicians in the plot. She claims to be able to show by legal evi dence that appointments and long talks regarding the removal of Garfield were held over luncheons in a certain base ment restaurant in Washington. Cork bill was a believer in the existence of a calmly developed conspiracy, the plot of which covered even the flight of the assassin to Europe. He said he knew the name of the vessel in which a state room was taken for Guiteau, and the identity of the persons who were to assist him in his flight. The dates, names of the men and steamer were at bis fingers' ends. It was one of the most horrible, crushing array of allegations, correct or incorrect, ever heard. A Case for 11 u tier. - NewYokk, July 7. Editor NchewiUch of the Yolks Zeitung, against whom it is thought the grand jury will find an in dictment based on his editorial denun ciatory of the jurors who convicted the Hieing bovcotu-rs, called Uon the dis trict attorney to-day in reference to the matter. Martine told him the subject was under consideration. Subsequently Schcwitzch stated that in the event of his being indicted he would likely secure the services of Gen. Butler to defend him. The issue will be, said he, one as to what are the limits of the press. 1 he jurors in the articles complained of were referred to m uieir capacity vi fuuui; umumn, ou ter the termination of their case, and their private character was not brought into question. ' Heater's Resolution. Washington, July 8. A sub-commit tee of the house judiciary committee to day began consideration of the Henley resolution directing prosecution of officers of the tnion 1'acihc railroad company. Representative Henlev appearedwith ex-bookkeeper Keddington, of the office of the commissioner of railways, and spoke at length in support of the resolu- tion. ao formal action was taken. Arthur' Good Fortune, New Youk, July 8. Ex-President Ar thur was to-day elected president f the board of directors of the Arcade railway company. Vice President Smith stated to the meeting that he had just received a telegram from Mr. Arthur, which stat ed that he was very much improved in health, and that he' expected to take an eneriretic Dart in the affairs of the com pa- ny. The company is to ouua an unaer- , -.1 i ground railway in Broadway. Why Warrea Green was Rejected. Washisoton, July 8. The Critic says the senate did not refuse to confirm the nomination of W arren Green to be con sul-general at Yokohama solely because of bis freaks at poker, it Bays that wnen his nomination was taken up by the committee on commerce its members were informed that Green, soon after ar riving in Japan, established a harem after the manner of native dignitaries of the east. American families at Yokoha ma felt themselves scandalized by this conduct of their consul-general, and they sent to the senate specific allegation as above outlined, and protesting against his confirmation. It is said the reading of the charges in the committee room caused several of the senatorial salons to sauirm and others to blush. The com mittee then unanimouslvreported against confirmation, and Streatbouse was ap pointed and confirmed. The Sob of His Dad Squatted oa. Washington, July 8. The senate com mittee on commerce to-day reported ad versely on the nomination of Herbert Beeeher to be collector of customs Port Townsend, W. T. If OPS WILL BE HOPS. at 1 be Market is Active, and Price Likely to be High. Ni.w York, July 9. Your correspond ent saw several hop dealers this morning, all of whom expressed alarm at the situa tion. Lil'tenthal Bros, talked on the sub ject in a more conservative way. They said : "There is undoubtedly an unusual amount of vermin on the nop vines Within the next ten days, provided the vine has sufficient vitality, bops will come into burr. U the lice should not be destroyed by that time they will attack the flowersand the crop will of course sustain very serious damage." It is asserted by a number of dealers that no matter how favorite things may change we cannot have over one-third of a crop. Prices in New York are under the country market now. It is well to remember that growers already have a fairly large stock. "But how about prosct for Califor nia hops?" queried your reporter. "California new hops will have a decid ed preference and obtain good prices, if crops turn out as badly as expected. Foreign advices are favorable to growing crop, but it is too early yet to hear au thentically from them." A member of the firm of Valentine, Lowe & Co.. said: "The seriousness of the situation has not been at all exagger ated, and 1 don t believe the worst has yet been told. We look for very high prices." "Uan uaiuornia hops De sold to advan tage?" "Certainly. They can get their own price." QUOTATIONS. Bales at IS and 19c for hops are already reported, and predictions are made of 25c the end of the week. Unless evil falls to the lot of the English or German grow ers, or those of the Pacific coast, the fail ure of the New York crop will not create a famine. Northwest's Interest in Congress, Washington, July 9. The senate has passed the bill to accept and ratify the agreement made with confederated tribes and bands ot Indians, occupying the xa kima reservation in the territory of Wash ington, for extinguishment of their title to so much of the reservation as is requir ed for use of the Northern Pacific rail road. The railroad gets a strip of land 250 feet wide, on a line laid down in the map of definite location of the route of the Northern Pacific, where their line runs through the reservation. The rail road pays at the rate of $5 per acre for the land. Senator Dawes is author of the bill. Mitchell to-day introduced a bill appro priating $10,000 for the purchase of a site and construction of a suitable wharf, at Astoria, for the use of the light-house de partment. The Queen Unbends. Nkw York, July 9. The Tribune's ca blo ejMJcial from London says: The queen's luncheon, at Windsor Castle, to representatives of the colonies, is rcckon- ed in London society as one of the most surprising events of her majesty's reien. No precedent existed for such an invita tion. No circumstance of splendor was wanting to enhance (the impression. A special train took the guests from London to Winsdor. The prince and princess of Wales, the duke and duchess of Con- naught, Princess Louise, and the whole roval household were present. Lunch eon was served in the Waterloo gallery. Then the guests were presented to the queen. The list of colonials and bast In dians fills an entire newspaper column, and includes sir Charles Tupper and oth er Canadians. The whole party came away charmed with the reception. THE ENGLISH SITUATION. Speculation as to the Future Action of Gladstone. New Yokk, July 10. Times' London cablegram: The new parliament ap proaches so near us now that, like the British files at Bunker Hill, we can see the whites of their eyes. The tories will not have a majority, lhey have a total of 264 members, with 146 more elections to take place. Of these, the tories car ried last autumn 20 English, 5 Scotch, and 7 Irish constituencies. If they do so now, it will give them a total of 296 mem bers, which is thirty-nine short of half the house. If the tide continues to run as it has heretofore, they will be likely to gain fifteen seats. This will leave them twenty-four short of one-half. But of the remaining vacancies, ten are in Yorkshire, four in Cornwall, five in Ches- 1IUO! VUI 11. IUUI 1U AGl UJ , ffclMJ four in Cumberland, all Gladstone strong holds, and so are most ot the others. The tories' gains are therefore more like ly to number ten or under. Nothing but a miracle can give them a clear majority Thus Chamberlain will occupy in the next house of commons the position of arbiter of the ministry's action, which Parnell held in the last parliament. GLADSTONE'S INTENTIONS. There is a story in' circulation that Gladstone will ignore the division in his party when the bouse is called to meet, assuming that all members are liberals who are not branded tones, and let the home rule bill lie over one session. But I team that the aged, premier desires nothing so much as the formation of an other ring for a second fight, and is al ready-planning to smash the future Salis bury ministry, drive Chamberlain out of public life, and after a sharp series of debates in the house go to the country again. AFTER GLORY. A Man Goes through the Whirlpool Kap- ids of Niagara in a Cask. Buffalo, July 11. Very few of the thousands of )ersons who visited Niagara Falls to-day, had any idea, that another adventurous man would attempt to swim Whirlpool rapids, in which Capt. Webb lost his life. For some time past C. D. Graham has been making preparations for the attempt, but few persons really believed that his courage would hold out long enough for him to make it. Such, however, was not the case. At about 4 o'clock this afternoon Gra ham started on his perilous voyage, which he successfully accomplished. THE FKRILOfS J01R.NEY. When everything was ready Graham got into a cask and closed the manhole at the top. At this point of the river the current is very slight, and a small boat towed the cask out into the river, to a point where the current would carry it, and where Graham was started on what might have turned out to be his trip to eternity. The towing process took only a lew minutes, and then the stream caught the cask and started it toward the whirl pool. At first it moved slowly down, then faster and faster, until the current dashed on with its full force. The cask bounded up and down over the great waves and several times turned a complete somer sault, but the wider portion remained up permost, although it turned around like a top. The cask kept pretty well in the center of the river until it reached the whirlpool, when it struck a strong side current and was carried swiftly through, reaching the waters beyond in safety. From here the journey was comparative ly quiet. The cask was picked up, at Lewiston, about five miles below the starting noint. and Graham crawled out of the barrel with only a slight bruise on his arm. lie remarked, "When I struck the eddies it was one continued round of jerks, and I am not hurt a bit." Auiendment to Postal Law. Washington, July 11. The postmas ter-general has, in compliance with peti tions signed by a large number of busi ness men in numerous cities, amended the postal law so as to permit transmis sion through the mails within the United States and territories of liquids not liable to explosion or spontaneous combustion or ignition by shock or jar, and not in flammable such as soft soap, pastes or confections, ointments, salves, and arti cles of similar consistency, under certain conditions, insuring safety to other mail matters in transmission. Total Nominations. Washinoton, July 10. From olfici.il reports on file at t ie White house, it ap pears thut tip t .1 .te the president has sent to the sen.ile 4J7 nomination!'. Of this number the senate has returned only 17. Ed Downing au.i family et-trted ast night for Fish lake, up on the Ietanon road. , FOREIGN. Record of News from Over the Atlantic. BADLY HKATEN. The Last Hope of Success of Home Kule Gone. LoNnoN, July 7. The last hope of the Gladstonians the vote in the counties has failed. The English counties are going unionist. The counties of Somer set, Warwick, Hereford, Derby and Bhopshire, in which centers the agricult ural vote, have returned conservatives. Scotland continues (iladstonian. N umer- ous county polls have not yet been taken, but it is impossible to reverse the deieat of the government. The unionists are confident of an ultimate 370 against 300. The conservatives are certain, with a compact phalanx of 300 members, that Lor J Salisbury will lorm a purely con servative ministry. Cable Specials from London. New Yoke, July 7. Times' London special: Every body in London con cludes that the question whether there shall be borne rule or not has been decid ed in the negative. Leaders of the Irish party, while not altogether disheartened, are wholly angry because of side issues which have caused or helped to cause their defeat. . Result of the Elections in England. London, July 9. It is believed, unless the counties yet to be heard from entirely change the situation, the Marquis of Har- tington will be offered a chance to form a ministry. This belief is not shared by faithful adherents of Gladstone, who hope he may be in a minority so small as to justify him in retaining omce and in troducing a bill designed to meet the views of all parties in the country who favor any sort of home rule. The most alarming prospect, however, is the possi ble conjunction, merely lor anti-nome-rule purposes, of conservatives and so- called unionists against Gladstone and Parnell. This would give 388 anti-home- rule votes against 282 for home rule, and this is just what conservatives here are hoping for. - A Banquet to Beeeher. London, July 9. A brilliant banquet was given to Henry v ard .Beeeher to night, at the Metropolitan. U. S. Minis ter Phelps. Justice Stanley Matthews, Kev. Dr. Parker, and many distinguished persons were present. Mr. Beeeher made an eloquent speech, which was enthusi astically applauded. Eighty persons sat at the tables. Toasts to the Queen and the President were proposed and respond ed to. Beeeher, replving to a toast to his health. i;ave an account of his own ca reer, lie said he rejoiced to see all dif ferences disappear between the North and South. Mr. Beeeher will deliver his first lecture at Exeter Hall on the 19th the subject being "Reign of the Common People." lhe application lor seats enormous. THE ENGLISH SITIATION. No Further Oulns by Either Party Glad stone Will Resign. London, July 12. Neither party made any gains in the parliamentary elections to-day. London, July 12. Negotiations be tween Lord Uartington and Salisbury are progress. It is reported thut lxrJ Uartington has pledged himself to sup port Lord Salisbury's local government bill, and to reject all approaches of Mr. Gladstone. If Mr. Gladstone remains in office the first move of the unionists will be a vote of want of confidence. Gladstone's fears. New York, July 12. A London special to the Tribune says : Gladstone, in con versation with a friend yesterday, as sumed that his resignation was a matter of course, and expressed his fears that Salisbury would raise a war scare over the Batoum incident, with a view of post ponement of the Irish question. THINKS GLADSTONE WILL RESIGN SOON. New York, July 12. The Tribune says, editorially: Gladstone's defeat in volves an immediate change of govern ment. His resignation will be deferred until the results of the election are defi nitely declared, but there is every reason to believe that it will precede the meeting of parliament. Gladstone is too proud a statesman to allow himself to be dragged on the ground under Chamberlain's char iot wheels. Negotiations with the union ists would alienate at once the national ists and make Gladstone the laughing stock of Fngland. The prime minister will retire from office with dignity, and not enter into any disreputable dickering with unscrupulous foes, who would exult iu an opportunity to degrade him. Krupp Sells Rails to China Hkki.in, July 12. Herr Krupp has con traded to supply China with 1,500 tons il rails, at a price, iacluding freight, tw::itv-fivo shillings below the lowest KiiitUsh offer. 1 he Duke d'Aumule uiu.t Go. Paui,oJu1v 13.

The entire- French cabinet agreed to the decree expelling the Due d'Aumale from France. Gladstone Advised to Hold On. London, July 13.

EASTERN. DETAINED. The Herald's Arctic Explorer Is. Detained by his Arrest. New York, July 13. The sole com-. panion of Col. Gilder on bis journey-to the North Pole is Wm. Urilliths, son of a billiard-table manufacturer. Griffiths is a voung man, of no Arctic experience. hut of approved grit and muscle. He has done good pedestrian work in Europe and Africa, and contributes $1000 to the present expedition. Col. Gilder is a bro ther of Richard Watson Gilder, editor of the Century magazine. GILDER IS ARRESTED. New York, July 13. Col. Wm: II. Gilder, who intended to leave New York this afternoon and join the whaling schooner Eva, at New London, Ct., and proceed to the coast of Greenland, and afterward undertake to find the North Pole, did not leave New York, as he was detained on a charge of stealing a $1000 bond of the Manhattan f.levated Railway company. Sally Adams, a professional swimmer, was the complainant. She said she gave Under the bond in t ebruary 1883, asking him at the same tune to tind out if it was good or not, and she had since been unable to get possession of it Gilder was arrested. He pleaded not guilty. He said Miss Adams had asked him to take care of the bond. He had interviewed a friend, who told him it was not good, and he told her so. He then left it with Boody. McClelland & Co., on Broadway, soon afterward he sailed lor China. Before sailing he had borrowed money from said firm. He presumed the bond would remain in their custody, but while away the firm sold it. Ho said he had been unable to see plaintiff since May 18, although he had made several efforts to do so. He acknowledged he owed plaintiff the amount of the bond but said there was no criminal intent on his part to defraud her of the bond or its value. The police justice held lain iu $1500 bonds for trial. He did not secure bail to-night. He found that it was not an easy matter for a man who was on the point of starting for the north pole to get bonds in 11500. The colonel caused cablegram to be sent to James Gordon Bennett, setting forth the facts, and ask ing what should be don?. An answer is expected to-morrow. The prisoner claims that ho has given Miss Adams several thousand dollars since she gave him lhe bond, and rumor has it that the I idy, who is fond of Gilder, has had him arrested to prevent him going away.

A private tel egram received here states that Mrs. and Miss Dolph were in Paris, and would not probably return until autumn. ADVERTISING THEIR MOURNING. Howard, in the New Y'ork World, thus lets loose the vials of sarcasm upon one of the fashionable follies of the day : Come with me to Central park, where everything is bright and beautiful, and where even sad invalids sitting on bench es draw funny pictures in the dirt with their canes or parasols, and little children lame from their birth emulate the gam bols of their sturdier companions. Come to Central park, where the birds sing and the cows low, and the monkeys chatter and the sheep wiggle-wiggle with thoir little tails, while the robins pimp red breasted here and there, and squirrels and chipmunks and wildcats, startled from their resting places, leap across the path skirting the carriage way, burying themselves in the grass or mounting with lightning speed the bark of some magnificent tree. Come I say, and see to what idiotic degree fashion tempts its votaries. Standing near the mall my at tention was attracted by a span of spank ing bays Bturduy coming down the road, drawing a superb landau in which sat two ladies oh, how black, how somber how dismal, from the onyx tip of their black lace parasols, through hot, thick veil and heavydraped mourning cos- tumest The coachman and the footman on the box : my eyes ! but they are a sight, wide mourning bands upon their hats, black gloves upon their hands and the wide tops of their professional boots absolutely covered with erepe, while on the long, tapering handle of the whip stood forth an invitation to the gaping crowd to see how bad the mourners felt a hnie black rosette, whose lontr, heavy ends fluttered in the breeze as the horses chained their bits and waved their tails and darted down the drive.

According to reports receiyed in this city to-day the ast train service of the I'nion Pacific is assured. Agents of the Union Pacific have been in consultation with officials of the line between Omaha and Chicago re cently, with a view of inducing some one of the roads to put on a train to be run in connection witfi the proposed fast ex- tress between this city and Omaha. The Tnion Pacific train to be used as fast ex press service, will consist of a baggage, express, mail, smoking, and sleeping cars, with handsomely appointed day coaches. At present the time to Omaha is eighty-five hours. It is proposed to reduce the time to sixty-five hours, by traveling at a rate of forty miles an hour. The Union Pacific lias had new, immense and powerful engines built expressly for this service, and the coaches will also be new and provided with every conveniences and comfort. At way stations mails will be thrown off and taken aboard without stopping. It is intended that the new service shall be in successful operation by September 1," Two Person Drowned; Sax Mate.,, July U. Henry Dryer, 14 years old, while bathing in Hayward's lake at Crystal Springs to-day, became entangled in grass and called for help.

A Man Hupposed to be Saunders Captured at Walla AValla. Walla Valla,J uly 12. Aman suppos ed to be Saunders, the escaped murderer. has been captured here by Deputy Sheriff Lampkin. . He answers the description in every particular, and is positively identified by an acquaintance from Cor vallis. Saunders was camping with im- migrants in the outskirts of town, and went to the hospital Friday, claiming he was sick. He did not deny his identity at first, but now claims his name is . Chestnuts. Saunders was admitted to the Catholic hospital Saturday, and claimed he was sick. Lampkin had been watching at the camp Friday, and finding him gone Sat urday, traced him to tho hospital, and arrested him in the yard. Saunders did not at first deny his name, but went along willingly. Soon, however, he protested he was not the man. B. B. Denure, for merly of Corvallis, recognized the pris oner as Saunders. He is pockmarked, squints, has a mutilated finger, a bullet mark in the left breast, is six , feet tall, and weighs only 130.. The campers were harvest hands from Spokare county, and say they knew nothing of the man, who joined them last Tuesday in the Harring ton neighborhood. Another Defaulter. Pkndleton, July 12. The transfer ot the books of N. Hendrix. a three-term republican of Umatilla county, to his successor to-day, revealed the fact that he was $6,000 short on the state school fund and some f 12,000 short on the coun ty general fund, $18,000 in all. No ef forts were made to conceal the shortage. Hendrix no doubt intended, and it is said was promised money, to replace the dehciency. His bondsmen, nine in num ber, are held in the sum of $30,000. They will pay the shortage, as to-day they started suit against Hendrix for $19,000. Attachments were levied on the nrm ot Houser & Hendrix by Murphy, Grant, & Co., San Francisco, and a number of Portland houses, for over $18,000. The firm is thought to be solvent, but will be crippled by attachments. Hendrix can not account for the money, but it is thought he used the most ot it in buying into the firm. He has considerable prop erty. The town is wild wit h excitement. The Walla Walla Election. Walla Walla, July 12. Dr. Boyd was re-elected mayor over Fark Winans . by a largo majority.
