and was taken without discussion, the
members having all come to the conclu
aion that Judge Cooley was the best fitted
for the position.
Prior to the selection of Judge Cooley
as chairman of the commission, Messrs.
Morrison, Bragg, and Schoonmaker, the
three democratic members, held a con
ference, at which it was decided that, in
view of Judge Cooley's long experience
and eminence as a judge, and in order to
demonstrate to the country that it was
their object to promote harmony and
unanimity in the board, Col. Morrison
should propose and Mr. Bragg should
second Judge Cooley's nomination as
chairman.
No candidates for the secretaryship
have as yet been proposed, and the posi
tion is still in abeyance. Another meet
ing of the commission will be held to
morrow. EARTHQUAKE.

villednd.) special says: News was re-
ceived in this city of volcanic disturb
ances and eruptions on Blood river, near
New Concord, Calloway coonty, Ken
tacky, yesterday, which scared the peo
ple there almost oat of their wits. Tues
day afternoon all wells in the neighbor
hood were discovered to be dry. The
same night, strange rumbling noises were
beard in the earth similar to those pre
ceding an earthquake shock. About 10
o clock an explosion was heard, in the di
rection of Stiger's Bluff, two miles from
New Concord. A column of fire was seen
to shoot up toward the heavens to a bight
of at least 150 feet. Explosions continued
at intervals through the night, and col
umns ef fire still continue to shoot up
ward. Some of the more courageous
people have made a visit to the bluff, but
the heat is so intense thev cannot get
within a quarter of a mile of it ; but red
hot ashes seem to be flowing down the
west side of the bluff. When our inform
ant left, a remarkable eruption was still
in progress, and a majority of the people
were penectly wild witn terror, ihe
scene of the phenomenon is in one of the
wildest and most nigged parts of the
state. May field, twenty-five miles dis
tant, is the nearest railroad station, and
efforts to reach that point by telegraph

penters are atill on a strike. Ninety out
of 300 contractors have acceeded to the
demands of the strikers.
THE COLLECTOR-SHIP.
The President Appears to be Araid of Or
egon Appoiatmeata.
Washington, April 4. Word comes
from the White House that the president
is very much annoyed about the contest
that ia made for the Portland (Oregon)
collectorship. He has already suffered
somewhat by bad appointments of Or
egon people. He will not soon forget
how the country was stirrea up Dy his
nomination of Judge Dawne, and has not
lost sizht of the fact also that another
Oregon man not long ago appointed to
office in Washington territory did not pan
out as well as he thought. He will go
slow in the collectorship matter. The
report that he has had under considera
tion all the papers in the case is errone
ous. Within the past few days numerous
protests have been received against the
appointment of Abrams, who appeared
to te the most likely man. It is alleged
he is not a straightout democrat, but
more of a mugwump or galvanized re
publican. It would create little surprise
Abrams were left out in the cold ana
the place given to a man who had but
recently removed from New York to Or
egon.
Hermann's Trunk.
Washington, April 4. Representative
lermann's trunk has been occupying the
attention of the treasury department for
the last week or so. While en route
home, via Buffalo and Niagara Falls. Mr.
Hermann parted with his trunk at De
troit. Mich., where it will be opened and
officially examined. It is not supposed
that there are any dutiable goods in it,
but an examination is made necessary
by the rules of the department. The
correspondence in relation to this trunk,
if published, would fill a good-sized let
ter book.
Will Attempt Ita Repeal.
Washington, April 4. Without doubt
a strong effort will be made in the next
congress to either rejwal or at least modi
fy the new interstate commerce law.
The very classes who were most clamor
ous for its passage are among the first to
make complaint of the harshness oi its
provisions. The folly of trying to make
ironclad rules for the government of com
merce is already apparent. The railroads
in every direction have bees compelled
to change their rates in anticipation of
the carrying out of the statute, which
makes the burden to be borne by the
people all the greater, and even for short
distances the prices of tickets for carrying
Ias8enger8 have advanced 25 per cent.
New Oregon Poatofflce.
Washington, April 4. A new iostof-
fice has leen established at Switzerland,
Marion county, Or., with John Green as

THE CHICAGO ELECTION.
The Republlcaaa Han Carried the Day by
Big Odd.
Chicago, April 5. A very large vote
was cast in this city to-day. The. greater
portion of the labor vote was polled early.
One-third to one-half the registered vote
was in by 9 a. m. The contest lies between
the republican and labor candidates, al
though the prohibitionists have tickets
out. Indications are that the total vote
will reach seventy-five to eighty-five
thousand. No disturbance ban leen re
ported in the eleventh and twelfth wards.
iJoth republicans and democrats are vot
ing almost solid for the republican candi
dates, and the absolute defeat of the labor
ticket is assured, but estimates are
founded only upon conjecture, and they
vary widely.
Tlie rourteenth ward, the stronghold
oi tne socialists, wtncn me iaoor mana
gers confidentially claimed they would
carry bv three to four thousand, has un
doubtedly gone republican. It is proba
ble that the labor vote will not exceed
twenty thousand.
At 2 o clock this afternoon bets were
made that the republican majority would
be twenty-five thousand.
THE MICHIGAN ELECTION.
Prohibition Defeated and the Republican
Ticket Elected.
Detroit, April 5. The Michigan elec
tors cast their ballots on two justices of
the state supreme court, two regents of
the state university, and two amend
ments to the constitution, besides county
othcers. The amendments were for an
increase of the salarv of state officers,
and for the prohibition of the liquor
frame.
The latest returns from all sections of
the state indicate that the republicans
have a majoritv of ten thousand, and the
prohibition amendment is defeated by
nine thousand.

hundred plurality, also other city officers
br small majorities. The ward officers

'ex-convict and apostle of anarchy, was
given a reception Monday night in Cooper
Union. It was the Unrest anarchist
meeting ever held in this city, the hall
being packed. It is stated that the ma
jority present were not anarchists, but
socialists, and that many were there
merely out of curiosity. A lartre squad of
Slice, in citizens' clothes, were present,
ere was no more disorder than is usual
in large meetings; Most spoke in En
glish and German, denouncing the legal
authorities who convicted him and sen
tenced him, and the prison authorities
who failed to show him respect. He
loudly reasserted his adherence to the
principles of anarchism. His remarks
were enthusiastically received.
Gen. Hart and Kiaaaae.
New York, April 4. A dispatch has
been received from San Francisco by J.
B. Hart, William Kissane's lawyer, who
is now in the city endeavoring to get
quashed a thirty-three year indictment
against Kis&ane for forgery, to the effect
that papers showing Mr. Hart to be prop
erly authorized to represent Kissane, and
which Recorder Smythe insists upon hav
ing before be will decide the matter, have
been forwarded by mail. As they cannot
reach here before the end of the week,
Hart will de nothing further in the case
until that time. That Kissane's present
name is Rogers was confirmed by a talk
had with Hart, who referred to him sev
eral times as Mr. Rogers.
Wants the Money Refunded.
Washington, April 5. A claim has
been presented at the treasury depart
ment for the refunding of money paid for
seized property sold as opium, but which
proved to be nothing but oatneal. The
sale was made by the collector of cu stoma
at Portland, Oregon, and the innocent
purchaser was a Chinaman named Seid
Back. The seizure consisted of thirty
nine small cans, each of which was dee-
iguated as prepared opium, and all was
sold as such at the rate of $6 er can. Of
this number thirty-nine cans contained
oat meal, which was worth about $1, for
which the purchaser paid $174. The
question is, snail the collector be direct
ed to return the money.
Grumbling at Oregon Appointment.
Washington, April 5. Assistant Sec
retary Thompson states that be cannot
disclose why the treasury department has
refused to confirm the appointment of
Wm. H. Watkinds as deputy collector at
Colville, W. T. As yet the name of the
new applicant has not been received.
The matter is being quietly loooked into
at the request and suggestion of the
president. It is understood that the
gentleman under investigation was ap
pointed front Oregon.

Record of News from Orer
the Atlantic.
A Bill to Believe Ireland.
London, April 1. The News says the
land bill introduced by Lord Cadogan in
the house of lords yesterday evening con
victs tjbe ministry of the grossest incon
sistency, and entirely justifies Parnell's
action during the last autumn's session
of parliament. The first thing that
strikes a reader of Lord Cadogan 's
speech is that, inadequate as the bill may
be, it entirely dispenses with the necessi
ty for coercion, or, rather, it would if the
necessity existed. Balfour argues that
an illegal combination prevents tenants
in Ireland from paying their rents. Lord
Cadogan formally admits that tenants
are evicted for not paying impossible
rents,

SUPREME COURT.
Salem, March 31.
A. I. Weiler, resp., vs. D. V. B. Hena-
ne; judgment amrmed. Opinion by
Thayer, J.
The respondents commenced an action
in the circuit court of Multnomah county
against the appellant to recover the sum
of $400 alleged to be due upon a written
guaranty executed by him to the respond
ents. On March 1, 1886. respondents
leased certain premises in Portland to
Edward Martin for 25J3' months, at $250
rer month, parable monthly in advance.
and the appellant guaranteed the pay
ment of $200 per month during the whole
period, also pavable monthly in advance.
The rent for November and December,
1886, be inn due and unpaid, plaintiffs.
after due notice and demand, sued the
guarantor for $400. The case was decid
ed in favor of plaintiffs in the lower court.
It is held by the latter that by the terms
of the guaranty the defendant's agree
ment was direct, and that a failure to-
pay according to its terms was a breach
of his agreement, for which an action
would lie, without any showing as to no
tice or of Martin's insolvency or failure to
pay.J
Si. II. McKay, resp.. vs. N. A. and W.
II. Musgrove, appa., appeal from Multno
mah county ; argued and submitted.

Motion to dismiss appeal in Moore vs.
Love argued and submitted by Hon. Geo.
G. Bingham.
Josiah West, a pp., vs. James and E.
A. Taylor, resps. : judgment reversed.
Neither iarty will be allowed costs
against the other. Opinion by Stra-
han, J.
The object of this suit is to restrain
the defendants from maintaining or re
pairing a certain dike or dam, erected by
them on their own land in Clatsop coun
ty, whereby the waters accumulating and
flowing out of Cullaby lake are caused to
flow back upon the plaintiff's lands, by
means of which their use for agriculture
or pasturage is entirely destroyed. It is
held that the water in question was pur
suing its natural outlet from the lake and
cannot be considered as surface water ;
therefore defendant had no right to erect
a dike stopping its natural flow. Since
both parties acted in good faith neither
recovers costs from the other.
In the matter of the petition of Rachel
Policio to have John Bigne removed as
executor of the estate of Perre and Petra
C. Manciet, deceased, appeal from Mult

THE MACLEAY SCHOOL.
Editor Statesman : In school matters
-we have come to look for something much
above the average of other schools, in
the Macleay district, and we were not
disapjiointed in the closing exercises of
that school, which has been taught so
successfully the past year by Miss Lizzie
Cornelius. A large and appreciative au
dience was present, to listen to the well-
arranged programme. The exercises be
gan in the afternoon with a public exam
ination of the various classes in reading,
grammar, arithmetic, etc. Nearly all the
pupils passed a perfect examination,
which spoke well both for teacher and
children. The various declamations, re
citations, etc., on the programme of ex
ercises were well rendered. The school
paper was good, abounding in wit, hu
mor, and a little sarcasm for Turner. It
would require too much space to mention
all the children by name who deserve
praise for the splendid manner in which
they acquitted themselves on this occas
ion. The teacher left nothing undone
that should have bnen done to make the
entertainment a success. The directors
deserve special mention for the interest
they have taken in the school for several
years past. They employ only comjetent
teachers, and they visit the school and
see that everything is as it should be,
thus helping the teachers in their work.
Miss Cornelius receives $50 per month,
and she can continue to teach the school,
if ehe so desires. Macleay.
