LITTLE STEAMER LIBELLED.
The little Albiua steamer Alarm
has been libelled for damages to the
extent of $1,000 by Bartholomew Leit
keiser this morning. The steamer
was libelled by deputy United States
marshal Clay Myers, and her owner,
Captain Spencer, at once furnished
bail in the sum of 8,000. Leitkeiser
fell overboard one day last summer,
and claims it was the captain's fault,

Guayaquil, (via Galveston), Oct.
21. El Qlobo publishes a long edit
orial in support of the refusal of the
Ecuadorian government to accept the
proposals of an agent for a European
sjTidicate for an arrangement touch
ing upon national, external and in
ternal debt. Also for the construc
tion of a railroad to Quito, aud the es
tablishment of an official bank.
The government has rejected all
proposals, not acknowledging that the
agent had sufficient power to act in
the name of foreign bondholders.
YALE IS ALL RIGHT.
New Hayek, Conn., Oct. 21. Two
students of Yale college recently died
of typhoid fever, and sensational dis
patches were sent out alleging that an
epidemic of typhoid was raging. Pny-
sicians say there is nothing to justify
them. The health of the students is
as good as usual at this time of year.
In all there have been four cases.
ARREST OF COUNTERFEITERS.
London, Oct- 21. Russian police
at Odessa late Saturday night arrested
two men said to be Americans charged
with circulating large amounts of new
and dangerous 25 rouble bills of the
bank of Russia. Two packages pur
porting to be bales of cotton cloth
which arrived from New York last
week were consigued to one of these
men and upon examination by the
customs officials were found to con
tain nearly one million roubles of these
counterfeit bills.
will dispense with TnEIR services,
Washington, D. C, Oct. 21. Num
erous applications have been made
to the secretary of the treasury for
the position of inspector of foreign
vessels at different ports in the United
States and upon examination of the
subject the secretary ha3 found that
the controlling reason in most in
stances for the anxiety to secure these
places is the limited amount of work
the inspectors have had to perform.
Several of these places have for a
number of years past been sinecures
aud not more than afttozen foreign
vessels would in a year " take advan
tage of-the law permitting their ex
amination by officers of the United
States government.
The-secretary has therefore decided
to dispense altogether with the ser
vices of inspectors of foreign vessels
at Philadelphia, New Orleans and San
Francisco, and to have what slight
duties the- would be called upon to
do performed by local inspectors. The
salary of inspectors who have been
dropped is 2,000 a year each.
AN OPINION BY THE LAND OFFICE.
"Washington, Oct. 21. The com
missioner of the land office in reply to
a letter from the attorney of the
Northern Pacific road says the office
will continue in the course indicated
some time since, refusing action on
contests between the railroad company
and settlers on lands where the rail
road has been completed within the
time fixed by law, preferring to leave
the matter open until congress shall
express an opinion relative to the
claim of the railroads to land of this
class.
The following is additional to the
abeve: Commissioner general land
office Groff has been called upon to
pass upon a question of considerable
moment to settlers aloncr the Northern
Pacific railroad. Portions of this road
were not completed within the time
prescribed by law granting the land
to the company. In consequence of
the failure of the company to comply
with the law these lists of selections
of land opposite to such portions of
tne road, have not been approved by
the land office. The company is un-
aoie to give title and until the lands
are declared forfeited the government
can give no" title. Bills have been in
troduced in congress to forfeit these
lands, but they never became laws.
It has been considered by the land
office that this matter is pending in
congress and, therefore, no steps can
be taken. The attorneys of the com
pany, however, recently asked com
missioner Groff to have fhe company's
lists of selection approved as speed
ily as possible. Groff, however, after
careful examination of the matter,
refused to comply with this re
quest, aud states that he does not
wish to change the policy of the land
office in this respect This decision
will cause the settlement of the en
tire question to be deferred until con
gress takes some action.
chtckasaw squawmen.
Texarkana, Ark., Oct. 21. Advices
from Tishomingo, Chickasaw nation,
say intense excitement prevails there
and throughout the country over a
decision of the Chickasaw supreme
court disfrancising adopted citizens.
The latter comprises whites who have
intermarried into the tribe. An ap-
peal will be made to "Washington.
Exciting scenes are predicted when
the Chickasaw legislature meets in
extra session October 31st, the major
ity of the legislators belonging to the
proscribed class.
secretary blaine's diplomacy.
Washington, Oct, 21. It is re
ported that our minister to Hayti,
Fred Douglas, is commissioned by
secretary Blaine to try and impress
the powers in Hayti and San Domin
go that while maintaining their anat
omy it would be to their advantage to
put themselves under the protectorate
of the United States. Furthermore,
minister Palmer is to see what he can
do at Madrid in a quiet way to secure
the severance of Spain's relations with
Cuba.

To He Taken For What It U Worth.
A prominent Portlander, who has
been. absent in the east for several
weeks, says the Oregon ian, writes that
no removals will be made in the prin
cipal federal offices in this state -the
Portland custom house, postoffice, in
ternal revenue office, district attorney
and the Astoria custom house until
congressman Hermann returns to
Washington, which will be next
month. It is inferred from the letter
that the riter obtained this informa
tion from senator Mitchell, who left
Portland in a hurry several weeks ago,
ostensibly to be at the sickbed of his
mother in Pennsylvania, but really, it
is said, to escape the importunities of
the horde of office-seekers, who oc
cupied a great portion of his time and
came near pestering him to death.
They Hocked to his law office, and
filled the passage and corridors of the
Esmond hotel awaiting his appear
ance. Senator Dolph escaped a great deal
of worry by abbreviating his stay
in Portland. Congressional business
required his presence in the east
On the other hand, congressman
Ilcrmau has been making a prolonged
tour of the state to acquaint himself
with the legislative needs of thedifier
ent sections, and it is a wonder that
he is alive, with somany office seekers
at large.
Since the adjournment of congress
the number of candidates for the prin
cipal offices has narrowed down, many
having been appointed to minor posi
tions, while many were disposed of by
being tendered places which they de
clined, which is equivalent to their re
tirement from the race.
Tltcir Business Booming.
Probably no one thing lias caused such
a general revival of trade at .!. W.
Conn's Drug Store as his giving away
to their customers of so many free trial
bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption. Their trade is simply
enormous in this very valuable article
from the fact that it always cures and
never disappoints. Coughs, Colds,
Asthma, Bronchitis, Croup, and all
throat and lung diseases quickly cured.
You can test it before buying by getting
a trial bottle free, large size Si. Every
bottle warranted.

SCROFULA
Is that impurity of the blood which pro
duces unsightly lumps or swellings on the
glands of the neck; causes painful running
sores on the arms, legs, or feet; developes
ulcers in the eyes, ears, or nose, olten caus
ing blindness or deafness; is the origin of
pimples, cancerous growths, or the many
other manifestations usually ascribed to
"humors;" and fastening upon the lungs,
causes consumption, and death. Being
the most ancient, it is the most general of
all diseases or affections, for very few
persons arc entirely free from it.
How Can
St Be
Ky taking Tlood's Sarsaparilla, which, by
the reiaaikable cures it has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed,
lias proven itself to be a potent and ecul
iic medicine for this disease. Some of
lliese cures arc really wonderful. If you
ev.Jht from scrofula or impure blood, be
i-:re to try Hood's Sarsaparilla.
Every spring my wife and children haVe
Ihtm tioubled with scrofula, sores break
i:i;' out on them in various places. My
Mill boy, three yours old, has been a
ifU'tl'le sufferer. Last spring he was one
miss of sores from head to feet. 1 was
a.i'.jsed to ue Hood's Sarsaparilla, and we
h.i o-ali t.ik-ii it. The result is that all have
been pined ol tlio .scrofula, my little boy
Leii'g entirely free from sores, and all four
of my children look bright and healthy."
