News Specials Prom Various Points,
Poktland, Aug. 10. A gentleman
who came in from Bridgeport fifteen
miles from Portland some distance
west of Beaverton says the whole
country is burning up in a forest fire.
He reports that the flames are licking
the vicinity of Cedar mills completely
barren; that people living there are
moving out as quickly as possible to
places of safety.
His report was partially verified
later in the forenoon by another party
who came to the city by way of Cedar
mills, who said there was so much fire
that they had to abandon the regular
road and make a new one across an
unbroken country for some distance.
They say that several farm houses
have been burnt, with stables, pro
duce and stores, together with quan
tities of wheat of this year's crop.
Several thousand cords of wood were
consumed, and altogether the losses
will be quite heavy.
Unless rain should began
to fall very soon they say
the people there have little hopes of
saving much that is not yet con
sumed. The atmosphere for miles
around the locality is thick with
smoke and cinders. Burning brands
are falling in showers.
Owing to the fact that the city has
been so heavily covered with smoko,
it would seem that there are immense
forest fires somewhere.
Conductor Chine, of the west side
accommodation train says he saw
nothing of the fire form the road, but
that the atmosphere about Beaverton
is smoky. It is reported that exten
sive fires are raging in southern Ore
gon, south of Boseburg, and that a
number of houses have been burnt
causing considerable loss.
JIELIilNEKY STOKE ATTACHED.
Yesterday afternoon Simon Feig &
Co's opera millinery store, on Mor
rison street, between Third and
Fourth, was attached by Bob't. S.
Toplitz & Co., of San Francisco for
S419.G8. The amount was paid, but
David B. Fisk & Co. began another
attchment suit against the house, to
recover $8GL To-day the store is in
charge of an officer.
Jonx mitleu's condition.
To-morrow another attempt will be
made to find the ball, which was shot
through John Miller's eye last Sun
day morning during a bar room row
in the St. Paul bouse, by Ernes Gtross.
So far the physicians have been un
able to locate it. If the ball is not
soon found there is danger of hemor
rhage of the brain, which will prove
fatal.
THE SEAIi QUESTION.
Montreal, Aug. 10. Over 3,000
words of a cable message were sent on
the seizure of the Black Diamond to
London, and in Canadian official cir
cles it is understood from dispatches
received since that England will
shortly make a remonstrance to the
United States which will be strong
enough to satisfy the most rabid
Yankeephobes and have a tendency
to put a curb on the alleged indis
criminate interference witli Canadian
vessels in the Pacific ocean and Behr
iug sea.
Mr. Chipman, the private secretary
to the minister of marine, says: ''The
Black Diamond is safe where she is.
They will hardly come into Victoria
to take her out, as the English men-of-war
might have something to say.
No doubt explanations will follow, as
it cannot be conceived that they mean
to fight over it."
A CAIiMER VIEW.
Ottawa, Out, Aug. 10. The deputy
minister of fisheries looks upon the
recent seizures as one of the best steps
that could be taken to protect the
great seal fisheries in Behring sea
from becoming entirely depleted.
The whole world, he says, has an in
terest in their preservation, and the
maritime powers of the world, he be
lieves, will unite in protecting them
from the wanton destruction which
has been made among young seals in
recent years.
The owners of Canadian sealing
vessels, when starting out on their
trips to the Behriug soa this season,
were told by the authorities at Otta
wa that they did so entirely on their
own responsibility, and must abide by
the consequences if seizure followed.
The domiuion government could af
ford them no physical protection, and
if they got into trouble no assurance
conld be given that they would be in
demnified for any loss. In fact the
owners of these Canadian sealing ves
sels were discouraged and advised not
to embark in Behriug sea fisheries un
til the matter was definitely settled.
Before the pause came the English
men were about to applaud; what
followed froze them. A few hissed
Depew remained unmoved and pro
ceeded to give his hearers an idea of
how rapidly acres costing SI.G0 be
came worth 4.000 a front foot, and
a bereaved husband in the west once
told him that his chief pleasure was
in removing Ins wife s remains from
one cemetery to another to accommo
date the growing wants of the new
town, as she had been immensely in
terested in its growth in life. It was a
great speech,
NOT CONTRACT IiABOR.
"Washington, Aug. 10. It is stated
that, notwithstanding the recent de
cision of solicitor Hepburn, adverse to
the importation of five foreign pro
fessors engaged for the Catholic uni
versity at this place, the professors will
come to this countrv and assume their
duties. The professors will be per
mitted to land without question, but
if objections are raised a decision will
be made that the law was never meant
to apply to the class represented by
the professors.
CHAUNCET SCORES A POINT.
London, Aug. 10. Chauncey M.
Depew made an immense hit aboard
the Teutonic during -the naval review.
There were 200 guests; including cab
inet ministers, members of both
houses and other high dignitaries. A
number of toasts were given. On
Friday night Sir Charles Tupper re
sponded to a toast and saidthat Can
ada deprecated the idea of trouble be
tween Canada and the United States.
He spoke of both nations as great
countries and put them on a par. De
pew was called on to respond to the
toast of the "United States." He had
paid attention to Tupper, evidently
determined to square accounts in
spite of the surroundings. He said:
"In such little matters as population,
and in such accumulations as popu
lation, energy, enterprise and marvel
ous inventive eenius naturallv re
sulted in, the United States might be
a little in advance of Canada, but in
extent of territory Canada was cer
tainly equal to her great neighbor a
pause, though it must be confessed
that most of Canada's territory was
ice."
THE BRUISERS AND THE LAW.
Washington, Aug. 10. Congress
man Allen, of Mississippi, in an in
terview on the arrest of Sullivan and
Killrain, says the Mississippi officials
are determined to enforce the law there,
and show fighters and others that
they will receive punishment in that
state just as if in New York. He be
lieves that if they are convicted they
will receive the full extent of the law,
31,000 fine and one year imprisonment
each. He has no doubt of their con
viction, unless some one of their par
tisans should get on the jury and pre
vent an agreement.

She Was In Dead Earnest.
One day, when our worthy city
clerk gave it out, that he would open
sealed proposals for the city printing,
a woman, old enough to vote twice,
came in and almost whispered: "Mr.
Clerk, I understand by the Daily
Journal that you are going to open a
lot of sealed proposals here to-day."
"Yes, madam," said the clerk, as he
offered the woman a chair. "Well,"
she continued, "I guess Til sit down
a while, and wait. I'm not going to
throw away any such chance as that.
I've been fooling around too much
already. "Will it be necessary to ex
change photographs?" Here the clerk
explained the situation as well as he
could without giving offense, and then
she left in a hurry, almost forgetting
her parasol.-fc-2'Yow the Walla Walla

A DESCENDING SCALE.
How Authority is Maintained on a Steam
boat. Authority on board of a steamboat
is an interesting study, says the Chi
cago Times. It runs on a sliding
scale, but unlike the gamut it only
slides one way. This is bad for
lower "C" on the steamboat, but he
has to stand it. A good illustration
of how the thing works was given
yesterday afternoon just above Mad
ison street bridge.
The captain of a steamer was trj'ing
to make a landing at the dock, but
the operation was attended with some
difficulty. A line from the bow had
been run out and made fast to a post,
but the vessel's stern was swinging off
into the stream. The skipper, with a
scowl on his brow, stood on the bridge
abaft the wheelhouse and stared at
the first mate, who was hustling
around on the hurricane roof amid
ships. Down below on the quarter
deck the second mate was helping the
third mate and a deckhand to take
.the turns out of the stern-line, which
was snarled up on deck instead of be
ing fast on the dock.
"Mr. Olsen," said the captain in a
gentlemanly tone of voice to the first
mate, "why in thunder don't you get
that line out, you long, lean, knock
kneed, tar-tainted wreck of returning
reason ? Don't vou see we're swinging
off"
"Aye, aye, sir," Mr. Olsen replied,
respectfully touching his cap to the
skipper."
Then Mr. Olsen leaned far over the
rail and raising his voice he called the
second mate's attention to a matter of
great importance.
"Mr. Peterson." he yelled, "what's
eating you, you tow-headed, block
eyed lubber! Do you want to choke
the stream? Get a move on you, aud
be quick abont it."
"Aye, aye, sir," was Mr. Peterson's
response to this delicate attention re
ceived from his superior. He then
gave the third mate some instruc
tions." "Swanson," he gently, but firmly
remarked, 4T11 crack your blooming
skull if you don't hump yourself, you
gaunt-eyed, bow-legged, stock fish
feeder! Bear a hand there. Lively,
now, and get that line out!"
"Aye, aye, sir." said Swanson in an
humble voice."
Then Swanson gave the deck-hand,
who get3 '12 per month, a clout on
the side of the head which knocked
him down. Then he jumped on him
with both feet and sheuted: "Why in
don't you pay out that stern line,
youIowlived,white-livered,mule-eared,
hog-backed, slab-sided, bench-legged,
feeble-minded, molli-grnbber! "What
are we paying you for? And he fin
ished on the poor man with a kick in
the ribs.
The deck-hand ran the line out and
made the boat fast. Then he went
down in the hold, where he anointed
his person and clubbed himself with
a handspike.
