The secretary says this survey cannot be executed unless a spe cial appropriation therefor of at least $15,000 be made. Mr. Dolph thinks this amount, at least, can be secured.

SIGXED THE tILt Tkt Pre Ideal rate the FlalaalaK Teach a the latar-etate Ceaiarre B1IL . Washixctok, Feb. 4. The president has signed the inter-state commerce bill. The signing of the inter-state commerce bill by the president was in full accord with the opinion of A ttorney-tieneral Oar land, rendered to him on last Monday, and it is very well understood to I in ac cord with the opinion of the cabinet. The attorney-general was asked to night to give his views in regard to the bill and explain wherein it differed from the senatorial bill of two years ago, which he opposed on the ground that it was unconstitutional, lie declined to do so, saying he regarded the opinion he had given to the president on the subiect as strictly confidential. It is learned bow ever, from trustworthy sources, that tle attorney-general, as well as the president, consider the bill which has just become a law, free from all the material features which were objectionable in the senate bill of two years ago. According to thm information, the attorney-general's objection to the old bill was to vesting powers of a legislative snd jrdicial character in a commission. The attorney-general is said to hold that the present bill does not confer judicial pow ers on the commission, but puts them in the courts ; and it does not confer legisla m ...w tm th fourth section (The long and short haul clause and that this is warranted by numberless prece dents in the legislati ve history of the government.

THB ICEW JERSEY DEADLOCK. Damag-tag- Teetlaaaay Agaiatt the Deaa eeratle Maal p slate ra. Tkxxtox, N. J., Feb. 5. In the in vestigation that is now going on, a lock smith testified before the New Jersey election committee yesterday to opening the ballot box of the Centre township, and allowing the democrats to change a sufficient nsmber of votes to insure Tur ley's election to the Assembly. The election of Turley secured to the demo crats one majority on joint ballot; and, in the election of senator, the republi cans refuse to meet in joint convention, casting their votes for William J. Sewell. New Jersey's present senior senator, and the democrats voting for Governor Ab bett. The testimony of the locksmith has caused a great sensation, and has added new complications to the serious deadlock. A TERRIBLE HOLOCAUST. A Bother Horrible Wreck, and Fearful Leae af Life. Boston, Feb. 6. The night express train from Boston to Montreal struck a broken rail a few rods from a bridge, at Woodstock, on the Vermont Central, about 1 o'clock Saturday morning. Two passenger cars went through the bridge, fifty feet high, and immediately took fire and were consumed. Over one hundred persons were in the two cars, and sixty are already known to have been killed, and there is a probability of more. The scenes were horrible in the extreme, and people had to see their friends and rela tives roasted before their eyes. ; The bod ies, as fast as recovered, were laid out on the ice, and most of them were un recognizable. A number of the passen gers were ladies. Many bodies have probably gone through the ice, and are wept down stream. The latest computation as to the num ber of persons on the wrecked train on Saturday morning places it at over 100. It is believed that over sixty persons lost their lives. OCR rLl'CKT REPRESENTATIVE. Blag-rr Henaua II aa a Raw with the Poets IS re Departaaeat. Wamuiigtox, Feb. 6. During the present session Mr. llermann has made special efforts to secure an increase of service on Oregon routes ; among others Canyon City to Burns, Engene to Sin slaw, and , Lake view to Summer lake, via Paisley, but lias always been denied on the grounds of it not being expedient. Yesterday sharp words occurred between him and poatoflice olBciala. lie charged discrimination agaipst Oregon, Raying hr service has been unjustly cut down, and many routes discontinued on, the plea of economy. Such economy an is generally practiced Jie characterized as aemagogueism. The officials insisted that Oregon has been generously dealt with, taking into consideration her post office receipts. Hermann retorted by askiog if it is the theory of the govern ment that the mail service is intended to be a money-making affair. He insisted that every American community is en titled to reasonable mail facilities, re- ?rardlea of expense, and if his request or additional service was not granted, be should feel compelled to place the de partment on trial before congress and demand an investigation. Several Shack la tlllaeU. Srainrxi, 111., Feb. C -This city was visited by an earthquake shortly af ter 4 o'clock this morning. A difference of opinion exists s to the number of shocks. Home claim there were five dis tinct rhocka following each other in rapid succession, while others claim that there were but three. The time between the first vibration to the last was from fifteen to twenty seconds. The first shock was the most distinct, the ones following di minishing in intensity until the vibra tions closed. No damage was done. The Strike FaJlar. Nkw Yoax, Feb. 6. F. F. Donovan, a member of the state board of arbitration, during the past week interviewed the president of every railroad and steamship company affected by the coal strike. His object was to get them to agree to arbi trate, and it was a complete failure. He reports them firm in refusal to recognise the Knights of Labor, or have dealings with anv labor organizations. They have men enooeh to fill all the places, and are Crfectly satisfied. Many men are going ck to work, and at the end of a week the strike will be a thing of the past. Borrox, Mass., Feb. 7.

The docks of this city, which have been deserted so long on account of the Stevedores' strike, to day presented s scene of activity. The steamship companies have succeeded in securing the services of a large number of non-onion men, and many of the strikers are returning. The probability that the strike win end in fail ore becomes appar ent. ;" . -.- - . Bavekxa, Ohio, Feb. 8. Detective Mulligan, who was assaulted by deeper adoes two days ago, died to-day. H al ii gan snd a brother detective were trav eling on a train toward Cincinnati with two prisoners, and when at Ravenna, the door of the car opened and a number of desperadoes entered and started in to rescue the prisoners. A number of shots were exchanged, the two detectives were severely wounded, and two or three of the assailants were struck by bullets, but none killed. The two prisoners were taken away, and the detectives were left in a precarious condition. The condition of the second detective is considered dangerous. THE GREAT STRIKE. Legislators geeklag to Find eat 1U (auaes 51 a Reaaedy Yet. New York, Feb. , 7. The assembly committee to inquire into the causes of the strike met again to-day. Fred Polts, president of the New York, Susquehanna A Western, gave . an outline of the coal mining and coal handling industry, with the price at Jersey City docks, lighter age, trimmings and wholesale snd retail prices in New - York. It was difficult to estimate the cost of transportation. , He then outlined the plan of the coal pools ; the companies mining, did not abide by its terms, and in July last coal was at the lowest point in the history of the trade. He believed in arbitration if the decision of the arbitrators could be en forced. President Cor bin, of the Beading road, testified that his company has 79 collier ies, and produces from six to seven mill ion tons of coal annually. Hie collieries are over 100 miles from the waters Large expenses are involved in returning empty coal cars to the mines from the water. This is not included in the accounts of the company. Mr. Corbin's remedy for the trouble between capital and labor was arbitration ; but he could not ad vance any plan. His company had had trouble with their men some months age, which was settled satisfactorily by arbi tration. The company had endeavored to live up to the decision of the arbitra tor, and the working men were satisfied, but it was said now that they would go out again, not because they were dissat isfied, but because some one else who works for another company is dissatis fied. - There seems to be no plan by which arbitration can control working men. The Beading road had lest over $20,000,000 in coal business, and prices were now below a profitable point. They Are Farfeec Washing tox, Feb. 8. Randall's fol lowers are infuriated at the refusal of Speaker Carlisle to recognize any motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill to abolish the tax on tobacco. They say that no other speaker has ever had the audacitv to refuse a majority of the house the privilege of voting on a prop osition to reduce taxation. There is talk of Randall men declining, under any circumstances, to vote for Carlisle for speaker of the Fiftieth congress ; but thin fit of anger will probably pass away, and all democrats will abide by the action of the party caucus on the speakership question. CoaSrmef teae. WasiiixaTOJt, Feb. 8. The senate con firmed the following nominations : L. K. Church, governor of Dakota. Indian agents J. McNamara, of Illinois, Colo rado river agency, Arizona ; C.

The woman suffrage act of Washington territory was declared unconstitutional by the supreme court to day. The opinions : were rendered by lADgiora ana Tamer, Utile! - Justice Greene dissenting. The ground of the decision was want of conformity to the organic act, the title being defective in not expressing the object of the bill. The opinion declares women ineligible to act as electors or jurors. The case which brought the matter up was Harlan vs. Territory, second district, for gambling. The decision has caused a decided sensa tion here. : WILL HE SIOK IT? Speealatioaa aa ta the Free ldeat's DUpeeaJ af the later etata Cemaaeiae Bill. Sax Fbaxcisco, Feb. 3. Examiner's Washington special : A member of the cabinet said to-night: "While the pres ident has not signified to me nor any one, so far as I know, what his intention is in regard to the inter-state commerce bill, I believe he will not veto it." In opposition to this opinion is what may only be a coincidence, but it is a singular one and one worth pointing out that Wilson 8. Biasell and Judge Fancher, of Oswego, are in the city, and are guests at the White house. Ola habitues of Albany remember that these two gentlemen were at the executive mansion at Albanv when the 5 cent fare bill was vetoed. For the same reason, and from the same source, there was a clamor in favor of the passage of a bill to cut down the cost of riding on the New York elevated railway, and reduce the revenues of the company. To the sur prise of every body, Gov. Cleveland vetoed it, and demagogues pronounced his political obscurity. They said he never could be presi1ent, for men who work for a living would not vote for bim. This veto was used at the nominating convention, and in the sub sequent campaign. The republican com mittee had millions of copies of it print ed, and shingled the whole land with them. The veto was written upon the unsupported advice of Wilson 8. Btssell and Judge Fancher, of Oswego. Every other one of the governor's personal friends, and all his political advisers, begged him to sign it Then Bissell ana Fancher were sent for by the ptesident, and they have come to Washington at his summons now, arriving this morning. To-day they have been closeted in con sultation about something, and it is only conjecture, of course tkst those on the inside believe they are talking about the inter-state commerce bill. If one could get their views, he could guess pretty near what the president will do. Poktlaxd, Or., Feb. 3. The jury in Clayton case failed te agree.

Justice Langford, ia his opinion on the constitutionality of the woman suffrage act, says that the present code of Washington does not ceo tain any authenticated act of the leg islative assembly. It purports to have been edited and compiled by a private party. It contains no titles to acts, no enacting clause, no signature of the pres ident, speaker or governor. The chapter, divisions and sections all pur-sort to be the act of s private party, lie says it is dear that this book doss not contain an actor copy of an act passed by the legislative assembly, and it cannot be known ocialiy what it does or does not contain. Legislators have departed from the old custom of having a preamble at each act ;aUu, of having each bill read at length in the bearing of the members. It has become fashionable to pass bills by the fevdinc by title, only, and news papers have been publishing them in Cus way, thos leading to snrreptUioca katiou. In this way all the acta Cn.r:Ij women the rit to vets are roii, and if snaLU to vote they are ia 1 capable tt actinj as jurors. Justice Turner amvs ia eobstaaee: MX thick the clear weight cf authority, and certainly sound res son. against the position that a reference to - a section in the tale of an amendatory act, wunont more, to in any case snoctent.

If there is a public sentiment through out the territory that women should have the right of sosrage. the next legislature can remedy any present defects. . Bat aftr carefully considering the matter, I believe the act amending section 3050 of the code to be in conflict with the organ ic act, and void." - Chief Justice Greene says: "From all that is decisive, and from much that is not decisive, in the very able opinions just read I totally dissent. Poktlaxd, Or., Feb. 5. The Northern Pacific blockade has been raised, and the delayed trains will arrive in this city to morrow. The Canadian Pacific blockade is the worst ever known.

This saoraisg, James Howe, well known ia this city snd in Salem, entered the room of his mistress, Made Tsylor, and before she was aware of his presence, made a fierce assault on her with a stove lid, beating her about the bead.
