THE -LATEST NEWS.
From all Points-
A Startllaz Supposition.
A "Washington special says:
There is considerable speculation,
and especially in army circles, in
regard to the meaning of Adjutant
General Drum's desire for infor
mation concerning the militia of
the United States. He is prepar
ing a document, which will be
. sent to the adjutant generals of the
various states, requesting to be
informed of the number and equip
ments of the militia regements of
their sections. Their views are
further asked as to the length of
time that would be necessary to
put an armed, organized force of
two hundred thousand men in the
field. In some quarters it is stated
that this action is taken with a
view to being prepared for an
emergency, in case of a general
uprising of the labor element of
the country. Others assert that
despite the denials of the state
department there is prospect of
trouble with Mexico on account of
German influence, and that the
adjutantgeneral's trip westshowed
him the advisability of having a
well equipped army ready for such
an event. Considerable secrecy is
maintained at tiie war department
concerning the matter, and any at
tempt made to unearth it, is met
by ominous shakes of the head
from hide-bound officials who
dread the wrath of General Drum.
Gorham' FerfiI.Htr.nce.
The Tribunes "Washington spec
ial says: It is understood George
C. Gorham and friends claim that
this nomination for secretary of
the senate in the caucus of 1881 is
binding on the Republican and
Keadjuster senators in the next
senate. "With this understanding,
Gorham soon retires from the edi
torial chair. This ' is known and
felt to be a matter of very great
embarrassment by a majority of
the Republican senators, some of
whom will, in all probability, re
fuse to vote for Gorham either in
or out of caucus. It is certain an
other caucus must be held before
any effort is made to elect officers,
for of the thirty-eight Republicans
who wilL compose it, twelve, or
nearly one-third, were not mem
bers of the caucus which nomi
nated Gorham.
Sheridan's Indian Scheme.
The interior department officers
are puzzled by the Chicago Tri
bune's dispatches alleging that
General Sheridan has carried over
the members of the presidential
party to the scheme for transfer
ring: the care of Indians to the war
department. This scheme is pro
nounced absurd at the Indian
office, and is thought to be incor
rectly reported or a sensational
fiction. At the same time it is
understood that the old fight be.
tween the interior and war depart
ments for the control of the In
dians will be renewed with fresh
vigor when Sheridan succeeds
Sherman as general of the army.
The interior department officials
will deplore further agitation of
the much argued question, but
will strongly oppose the transfer,
and have little to fear that it can
be brought about. They claim
that time fights on their side, as
every year the Indian question
grows simpler and the necessity
of armed intervention less.
VlUard's Vindication.
The following letter from the
president of the Northern Pacific
will explain itself:
Editor Evening Post:
Permit me to correct at the
earliest possible moment, through
your columns, an abominable
falsehood which appeared in an
article on the financial world in
yesterday's New York Times re
garding myself, personally, and
the companies I represent. The.
article alleges that, "It is stated,
on good authority, that the Villard
syndicate has bought no less than
100,000 shares of Oregon and
Transcontinental and Northern
Pacific during the past three
months in an effort to sustain the
jpjTce," and it alleges further that
-'fnckung this the syndicate
had to borrow, it is stated,
000,000 worth of exchange from
one big house and S3.000,000
worth of another." T deny these
statements. They are wholly
false, and none of the companies
represented by me or no syndi
cate in which I am interested
personally have ever bought a
single share of any of our stock to
sustain the market price, nor lias
there been a single dollar borrowed
in the sterling market or in any
other way for the alleged purchase
by any of our corporations or any
syndicate in which 1 am interested
by nvyself personally.
II. Villa ki.
Distinguished Guenti.
Holmes, Boyce , Norwood,
Davey and Gray, members of
parliament, and Lord Carrington,
sail from London next Saturday
for the United States. They will
be present at the ceremonies at
tending the opening of the North
ern Pacific railway.
American Product Abroad.
A London special says: Some
English papers arc building hopes
of active grain competition against
the United States from India and
Siberia. This cannot take place,
however, for some years. Russian
petroleum seems more dangerous
ly aggressive in the markets
hitherto shipped by America, and
Caspian sea petroleum is now
sent in bulk from Caspian ports
to Germany's industrial centers.
Sewn Surveillance.
The London Times' Madrid
correspondent saj's: An order
has been issued by the authorities
forbidding the printing of any
news touching the insurrection
movement in Spain, except what
is officially supplied by the home
office, and cautioned editors of
papers to abstain from comments
upon current events. The corres
pondent adds that strict censor
ship continues on the telegrams.
He Actually Swore.
At Buffalo lake, W. T., the
presidential party had breakfast
and were saying good-bye to Sec
retary Lincoln, who will remain
four days at Washakie, when an
incident occurred which caused
great consternation. Although it
was rapidly approaching G o'clock
there it was past 7 in Chicago,
when a courier came up with a
dispatch in haste, addressed to
General Sheridan, from his con
stant adviser in Chicago. The
message was handed to the presi
dent, who swore, actually swore.
It stated that the Chicago Tribune
had published a report in full of
the proceedings of the day before
with an account of the proposed
issuance of government bonds to
Indians. General Sheridan at
once gave orders to conduct a
strict search of the camp and ar
rest the correspondent if found
upon the reservation. Up to the
present writing the intruder has
not been found. Owing to this
circumstance the party was a little
late in starting, but arrived at
Buffalo lake very nearly at noon.
There are those who predict
that an effort will be made by In
dians or bands of robbers, which
are thick around there now, to
seize Mr. Arthur, cany him into
the mountains and hold him for
ransom. The oldest stage-driver
the Tribune correspondent has
met is certain that un attempt
will be made, and thinks , if con
ducted rightly it will succeed.
An Annexation Scheme.
The Austrian, German and
Turkish governments are engaged
in negotiations for the complete
annexation of Bosnia and Herze
govina by Austria.
3lHtiny In Mexico.
A 80ir Hermosillo (Mex.) spe
cial says: A report reached here
last night that the soldiers sta
tioned at Ures, forty-five miles
northeast of Hermosillo, mutinied
on the 8th inst., killing the cap
tain and first lieutenant. The
soldiers left for the mountains,
taking with them arms, ammuni
tion and provisions. The number
of the soldiers varies from o00 to
1,1S0. General Topete left here
last night for Ures with 300 cav
alry. The federal officers know
but little and are not willing to
give information.
More fine stock has been brought
to Oregon during the past six
months than in any previous year.
Almost every steamer brings a
bull of good breed or a few fine
wool sheep. Our farmers see
clearly the advantage of breeding
from the best sources and are in
vesting liberally in good blood.
It is proper to repeat a suggestion
math? some weeks ago, that the
annual fairs of the state agricul
tural society at Salem be made a
market where the stock of the
country may be exhibited, and
where farmers who desire the
best grades of cattle, sheep,
hogs, etc., may find them on sale.
Oregon already has much good
blood, and 3'oung bulls and heifers
are for sale by scores of men, but
nobody knows where to find them,
and the lack of a general market
is a hardship both to those who
have stock for sale and to those
who would be glad to buy. Cer
tainly there could be no more
proper place of exchange aiian the
state fair. A stock yard in which
all exhibits were for sale would be
an attractive and interesting fea
ture of the fair, directly in the line
of its purpose as an agricultural
exposition. Oregon if in

Of the Oregon Short Line, the
Baker City Jleveille says: The
end of the grade at present is but
55 miles from this place, and ev
erything goes to show to a reason
able thinking person that the
Short "Line intends to stop grading
down Snake river, for the simple
reason that thev are discharging
their hands and working force, and
they pass through this place daily
for points on the O. R. k X. Co.'s
road. If-the Short Line intends
to go down Snake river, the pres
ent splendid working force would
be retained, and, judging from
the past,tho compan- would crowd
right on to Lewiston.
