In selecting an item from The Asto kux concerning tho tricks of Liverpool splmon dealers, the Oregonian heads it, 'One way of selling bad salmon," which conveys a wrong impression. The salmon is all good; it "s solely a matter of injus tice to the co-operative canneries whose gniiaon is culled and relabeled with a brand that no longer exists, but which used to command a fancy price in tho English market.

WHAT IS THK "EX-JOntKAMSrS" XAML'l LrsI week, says the AViw of the 11th, an attempt was made to blackmail J. 35. Kellogg by a letter stating that his actions were known, and unless he paid hush money his proceedings would be pub lished. By means of n dummy check, one of the blackmailers was decoyed to the Occidental hotel and finally he went to the Metropolitan Saings bank, where he presented the check, which was for $20, for payment. The cashier, in order to gain time, made him indorse the check, which ho did, ltoldly writing the name of James Riley aerbsi the back. Then the cashier said" it would be neces sary for him to bo identified, and Mr. Riley went out, but must hae ''smelt a mouse' for ho did not return until last evening, when he again made a demand for tho money. The cashier at once ar rested him and was hurrying him toward the station. Riley begged and declared that he was only a tool in the hands of others. On promise of being allowed to go free he made a clean breast of the whole affair. He stated that the letter sent to Mr. Kellogg had been written by nn ex-journalist who is much given to in toxicants, and that he (RilP3r had been pulling the chestnuts out of the fire for tho man who put up the job3. Riley was allowed to go on this showing. The dis- tnct attorney will investigate tho matter and arrests will be made short ly. The above was tho substance of the story as related by Mr. Kellogg, the man whom the ruffians attempted to blackmail. Brick Store for ESful.

At the last meetings of the several companies couiniitt.".-; won appointed to take the matter in hand; these committees met in joint sesiiou yesterday afternoon, and after some preliminary discussion the question was raise'd as to the legal htandiug of the committees regarding their methods of appoint ment. It was finally decided to disband and have a meeting of the board of foremen who should appoint the com mittees. Accordingly the board offoremen, the chief engineer and the secretary of the board ot fire delegates met at the rooms of Alert H. and L. No. 1, last evening. Chief Engineer Charters called the meeting to order and after stating the purpose for which the meeting was called, it was moved and carried that the fore man" of each company name a committee of three, to constitute a committee of nine, who would have full charge of all matters regarding the part that the fire department should take ina the coming tournament.

Tho strik ing sailors of the coasters continue their coercive measures to prevent coasting vessels from obtaining crews at the pres ent rate of wages.

The Pall 3la!l Gazeffr says it is believed the news re ceived last eveuiug to the effect that the Russians had advanced their outposts iu Zulpkar pass further south, instead of withdrawing north, as requested by Eng land is correct. There can be no doubt great fears are entertained of a collis sion between Russian and Afghan troops, as this last advance has placed the op posing outposts face to face, and taken tho Russians much nearer Afghan terri tory. There is no indication, says the Gazelle, that tho Russians have gone be yond what they consider the Afghan boundary line. W'Ancc-QTON, March 10. A3 tho new cabinet is now made up, one-half of tho members will hae to be introduced to the other half, from the want of any pre vious acquaintance. The president never knew personally but two of the ad visers he has chosen until after his nom ination at Chicago. It cannot be charged, therefore, that any peculiar partiality resulting from association de termined these selections. They were evidently made for publio and political reasons alone. General disappointment is felt that Mr. Thurman should have been cast aside after his long and valu able services to the party, and in view of his standing before the country. He would have g'ven character to and in spired confidence in the ahministration from the outset, as Governor Marcy did when he accepted the department of state under Mr. Pierce.

OLITIEK PAIS. t:-('inininnil 4q1 Son EI "Uhli'x Kt;h!. !!aal .Man. El Mahdi commands experienced Er peau aid iu his insurrection against the Egyptian government, iu the parson of a versatile aud adventurous spirit whoss favorite clement is the atmoshere of re volution and bloody strife. This interesting adventurer is known as Olivier Pain. He is of mixed French and Spanish blood, ami was born in Paris about forty-three year.- ago. After receding a thorough education at one of the high schools of the French capital, while still a youth he employed his con siderable abilities with the pen against the gpvernment of Napoleon III. He married in 1555 or the year after. His children are believed to be still living. Whether or not his wife is living is not known. The terrib.e reverses of the frali crmy in 1ST0, and the collipsc of the em pire" in consequence, wa? succeeded in Paris by i government which succumbed to the commune. This brought Pain, who had been nn agitator for years, into great prominence as a leader. When, in the spring of 1871, the forces of M.mliul MacMahon forced their way into th re bellious capital, Pain fought in the ranks of the commune. Previously to the short-lived supremacy of the communists he had taken part in the war against Prussia, as a journalist anil soldier. He survived the horrors which accom panied the suppression of the revolution lie had assisted to bring about but was taken prisoner and sentenced with Rochefort, Louise Michel and other no torious parsons to the penal colony at NewCaledonia. This was in 137:. He escaped to Australia in the early part of 187. with Rochefort and four others. The fugitives then made their way to this continent, landing in San Francis co. He and Rochefort crossed the Uni ted States together, and iu the spring of 187.1 sailed from New York to England. While residing in London, immediately subsequent to this time, tho friends en gaged in journalism for a period. Then they made their way to Geneva, where Ufnlramlgeuni was edited for circula tion in Paris. Then next heard of M. Pain wa.s act ing as Osman Pasha's private secretary at the siega of Plevna, in tho war of 1877-78, between Turkey and Russia, and which proved so disastrous to the Mo hamraedau jtower. He wrote the answer returned io the Russian commander by Osman Pasha, when tho surrender o'f PIevnaewas demanded by the besieging force. His influence over the illustrious Turkish oflicer who defended the city, was as remarkable as that he now wields in the tent of Mahdi. It began when he was acting as newspaper cor- responueni luere, nnu resniieu wuu ms being permitted to remain with the Turkish army after all other foreign j journalists had been excluded from it. aim men in uis acceptance oi a private secretaryship, as before stated. Whon Plevna fell after a vain attempt j at escaite.

His ex- j periences as a prisoner of war in Russia 'seemed to have stimulated rather than I to havo quenched his urdfiit love for 'adventure. When liberated he went to ! Paris, from whence he embraced the first opiiortunity of once more engaging in feats of broil and battle. This was the '. insurrection led by HI Mahdi, whom Iu determined to reach if possible. After he ' had gained the bordors of the desert his j escort abandoned him. Pushing on alone ho was nearly killed by wnudering Arabs and thrown iuto prison at Emeh. I After three days he escaped from the J Anglo-Egypt iau officials, aud once more sot out to accomplish his intention. " With two Bedouins as companions, he ! crossed the desert in thirty days, was nr- rested at f he Mahdi's outpost, and onco j more underwent imprisonment for a few , days. He succeeded in satisfying the MaL jdias to his friendliness, and was there I after treated with tho greatest considera I tiou. Whether or not he will escape tho I skill of British marksmen iu coming en jgagements with the troops of Egypt's ' ally nud virtual master, is a matter which ' nrobably troubles him less than it does j his friends.
