Good beaver skins now sell for two dollars a pound, but the supply is ex ceedingly limited. Prof. Wm. Cary, the great skater, will appear at Ross' opera honse in his skating specialties this ev ening.

This week five car loads of Chinese have been sent north of Bedding, to completo work on the California & Oregon railroad. The solicitor of the treasury has decided that thero is no legal objec tion to condemnation and sale in the territory of Washington of a large amount of smuggled opium seized by Collector Beecher in Alaska. The application for this permission was based on the fact that the opium would not sell for more than S3 per pound in Alaska, while at Port Townsend it could bring at least $14 per pound. The continued clamoring of the press has at last brought Attorney general Garland to his knees, and he is ready to surrender his Pau Elec tric stock to any responsible parties or institution. Heretofore he has kept a stiff upper lip, and seemed in different to the caustic criticisms that were pouring in upon him from all parts of the country. He says if it will satisfy anybody of his honesty he will part with hisstook, but thinks he has done no wrong. A Port Townsend dispatch says the schooner Lizzie Iferrill has been dis covered near the Qaeetz river, bot tom up. All hands are supposed to be lost The schooner went ashore on the 27th, and it is thought ahe was boarded at sea after being cap sized, as several holes were found cat in her bottom. Several bodies were cast ashore near the wreck, but it is not thought they came from the schooner. The Lizzie Merrill was bound from that place to Gnaymas, with lumber. The house committee on rivers and harbors has been hearing representa tives of several waterway conventions, and the representatives of several waterway conventions, and the Co lumbia river convention not having any special representative in Wash ington, Congressman Hermann has prepared an address, and has asked to be allowed to represent the Colum bia waterway convention. The com mittee has not yet reached the Pacific coast for consideration of its rivers nnd harbors in general, but as soon as it comes to that branch of the sub ject Mr. Hermann will be heard. The house committee on public lands have agreed to declare forfeit ure of the Northern Pacific railroad land grant, as to nil lands lying op posite that part of the line which was unconstructed on the 4th of July, 1879, the date on which the committee construe the grauting act to expire. It excepts from operation of the for feiture act the right of way of the company to lands necessary to its operation, all lands now within oity, town or village sites, and all lands purchased in good faith from tho railroad company by actual settlers, not exceeding 320 acres in any one case. In a case where a settler's pur chase exceeds 320 acres, he will be al lowed one year in which to select therefrom a tract of 320 acres, and make proof before the local land of fice. An amendment was incorpora ted in the bill reducing the price of government lands within the grant to S1.25 per acre. . A-Run ou a Drugstore.

Haskell, "grand organizer of the council of federated trades unions of this coast," is in Portland, and will doubtless be heard from at the anti-Chinese congress that con venes in that city to-day. In an interview last Wednesday with a Standard reporter, he said that the position he held was as the representative of the council of feder ated trades unions, which was but another name for the Knights of La bor under slight modifications. Dif ferent trades unions had been organ ized in the east since 1851, but these dealt solely with local disturbances, and each union had its own separate mission which it pursued regardless of the other unions. Several years ago the want of a better and more comprehensive system of organization was felt by the various classes of la boring people, and the Knights of Labor were formed as the result. The different trades unions through out the country were merged into the new organization, while, at the same time they preserved intact the orig inal organization. The Knights of Labor organization deals in the prin ciples underlying labor questions, while it allows the smaller unions composing it to deal with local labor troubles, always, however, backing and aiding them in any conflict. There is then again a higher branch than the Knights of Labor. This is called the International Association, and its scope extends the whole world over. It is the great center of the system around which the other labor organizations move in cycles and epicycles, and it aims at unity of sen timent among the laboring masses the world over. The International asso ciation was first started at London, England, in 1862, when the London exposition was in progress, and dele gates were present from all the civ ilized countries of both continents. Its chief object is to educate the laboring world to perfect understand ing of their condition, to discourage strikes and other useless measures. and to settle all differences between labor and capital, if possible, by arbi tration. Its policy is to investigate the present afflictions of the laboring masses, to follow tnem up to tneir cause, and to endeavor to erad icate them in the same slow but sure manner. Every effort is made to keep down labor insurrections and to solve labor difficulties by peaceful means. "JMow and men," continued Mr. Haskell, "under severe industrial depression riots ignorant riots will break out, but we don't want any outbreaks or bloodshed. In all my experience yet I have never met with a true labor agitator who wanted bloodshed or who favored violence." Mr. Haskell then spoke relative to the present anti-Chinese movement. He said that on the 30th of last No vember a congress was held at San Francisco, composed of delegates from California, Nevada and Arizona, in all numbering some 500 men. The principal question discussed was how to get rid of the Chinese. The con. elusion arrived at was that it would be impossible to rise up and drive the Chinese out of San Francisco at that time, but the next best plan was adopted. The convention recom mended that the citizens of the differ ent interior towns in California, Ne vada and Arizona should fix the earliest possible day to deport the Chinese from their respective cities to San Francisco. At that time there were 40,000 Chinese in San Francisco, and by following the above plan, the number would be doubled. The Six. companie3 were already sorely taxed with the numbers of unemployed Chinamen they had to support, and by centralizing all the Chinese at San Francisco, the Six companies, would soon be compelled to ship their coolie3 back to China or to en dure the enormous expense of sup porting them. The plan recommend ed by the convention has been followed out in a number of cities, and inside of six months the Chinese of the two states and one territory mentioned will all be in San Fran cisco. In answer to the reporter's question asto his mission here Mr. Haskell said: "I come here to assist Mr. Cronen, who is the grand organizer of the Knights of Labor for this dis trict, in having the Chinese depart from this city. We don't intend to commit any violence or precipitate any strife, but we do intend to have the Chinese leave Portland." "Don't you think you will meet with some opposition?" asked the reporter. "I see no necessity for it" said Mr. Haskell, "the majority of your people want the Chinese to leave, and every city has the right to exclude from its limits an undesirable clas3. As far as the legal liabilities are concerned, a man who forces a Chinaman to leave a place without actually doing him any bodily harm, can only be in dicted on the charge of assault, and where is the man who is not willing to be charged with assault, providing he can remove the Chinese from your city? The way we intend to remove the Chinese is to remove their goods and chattels and themselves to the wharf, put them on board of the steamer sailing for San Francisco, and say to them 'God bless you, you are not wanted hero.
