"Washington, March G. President
Laffen, of the National Brewers asso
ciation, hacked tip by a large contiu-
gent of brewers apieared before the
ways anil means committee- this morn
ing to reply to the argument of the
hop growers for an increase of duly
on hop--. The brewers were of Chica
go and New York men and were in
troduced res-R'clively by congressmen
Adams and Fitch. LafTen said that
a certain proportion of German hops
could be used m tins conntry to give
aUavaiian and Bohemian ltavor to
beers manufactured in this country.
It did not tit present amount to more
than 10 or 111 per cent of the hops
used. American hops were as good
as any known for the puroses of beer
making, and, except for the ilavor de
sired, would always be used. He stated
that competition, from which the JSew
York state growers buffered did not
come from the foreign importations,
but from an increase in the cultiva
tion on the Pacific slope. Oregon,
California and "Washington were en
gaging in the cultivation with a soil,
climate and conditions, that were al
most perfect That section is the
lineal hop growing section in the
United States. He argued that au
increase of duty could not do the hop
growers of the country any substantial
good.

decided not to hold an inquest, as
there was sufficient evidence that the

investigation into the cause which led
to his death and to leave nothing un

tivc Steveus sprung a letter, written
by the attorney general, upon the
house to-day. which has caused
a sensation. The letter is addressed
Chas. E. Johnson, editor of the Lisbon
Star. After a general review of the
lottery scheme attorney general Good
win, in the letter to Johnson, accuses
several members of the legislature
with having sold themselves, body and
breeches to the Louisiana Lottery
company. Several members, whose
names he gives, are stated to be hold
ing back for higher figures, 610,000 to
S12,000 each being the prico of their
votes in favor of the lottery bill. The
attorney general goes on to say that
Stevens and several others are so
tightly encircled by the coils of the
lottery boa that they can't escape and
will eventually be swallowed by it.
This exposes Goodwin's motive
in refusing to give the senate an
honest opinion as to its
power to compel unwilling wit

investigating committee. It has
rou-d the house of representatives
to so high a pitch of excitement. that

A IUG SCHEME
That Can he Successfully Carried Out.
Special to The Astorian.
St. Louis, March G. The Kansas
Farmers' alliance is making great ef
forts to secure better prices for the
large amount of com in the hands of
the farmers, and its officers now be
lieve that they have completed ar
rangements for buying up the corn as
it is offered for sale, holding it and
preventing the market from being
flooded. S. A. Ryerson, of Emporia,
Kans., has been in consultation with
several of the commission men in this
city, with a view of engaging the agents
to co-operate with the Kansas Farm
ers' alliance. An agency has already
been established in Kansas City
I which is said to be backed by
a strong New Y'ork syndicate and it is
considered advisable to establish one
in St. Louis. The scheme is to close
dealing with Kansas City and St
Louis commission men, and to send
their consignments to the firm or arms
representing the Farmer's Alliance.
These firms will make advunces at-a
shade below tlte ruling rates, but will
not market the crop until a price,
deemed adequate, can be attained,
storing it m elevators or warehouses
until such time us it can be sold at
proper figures. In addition to the ele
vators of large cities arrangements havo
been made to establish warehouses
at different points in the com belt,
in which grain can be placed and cer
tificates issued. Arrangements for
making advances on tlieso receipts are
to Ik made, the plan leing to enable
the farmers to obtain in the
east nearly the market prico and
to allow them to retain an
interest in their shipments and
profit by the enhanced prices which
it is believed will arise from the stop
page of the Hood of corn that has de
pressed the prices to a very low figure.
The effect of the bcheme, if success
fully carried into ellect, will be to cut
off the supply in the market and
enable the producer to control
the output The commission men will
be sufferers, as their business will be
largely cut off. The opinion of com
buyers and exporters, on the floor of
the merchant's exchange, is, that the
plan can scarcely succeed.

A Wreck of a Great Sfearaer,

Boston, March 6. The Belgian

was wrecked to-night off the Light

Astoria Beal Estate &
setts coast which is one of the most
dangerous on the Atlantic shore. She
belonged to the White Cross line and
left Antwerp February the 20th with a
cargo of iron, rags and. glass. During
the heavy snow storm this evening,
she mistook the light on Minots ledge
for the Boston light and went to the
south and ran ashore. She is in a bad
way, and the reports at midnight say
that the crew of 26 men are not as yet
rescued.
The snow has blockaded the traffic
but the Boston reporters are making
a desperate effort to reach the scene.
The Bhip was built in Glasgow, Scot
land, in 1883, and is a screw steamer,
bark rigged, 319 feet long,. 1,700 tons,
valued at $200,000, insured for one
half. The cargo ia valued at $100,000,
and it is believed that there must
have been some steerage passengers
on her.
THE TRANS-PACIFIC LINES.
To Be Controlled Solely by the Union
Pacific Company.
A RIG TRAJiE AXTIC1VATEIK
Special by Tho California Assocutfd Pres3
Portland, March, G. The intelli
gence that the Union Pacific Bailway
company intend to establish a line of
steamships between this city and
Japan has created quite a stir in mer
cantile and shipping circles. The fact
is that such a movement possesses a
standing invitation by reason of tho
immense amouut of business to be
done, and this has long been known
and the wonderment is that
the company did not sooner
awaken to the situation.
In an interview this morning with
several prominent officials of tho com
pany, it was learned by an Astorian
reporter that not less than four large
steamships, capable of carrying 1,500
tons of freight and accommodating
several hundred passengers each will
be operated.
The vessels are all to be of English
build and two of them have been se
cured. The report that they will carry
tho Japanese flag will not hold water.
It is said that the British colors will
be maintained. A steamer will
leave Portland every month and at
the same time one will leave Japan,
while two" will constantly be at sea.
The route to be traveled will be by
way of the Hawaiian islands. The
most interesting and prominent feature
of the arrangement is that the line
will be operated so as to be of contin-
Lual and -undeniable benefit to Port
land. The flour trade with the trans
pacific ports is rapidly growing and is
fast becoming ono of tho greatest im
portance. Unlike the Occidental and Oriental
steamships company of San Francisco,
which is made to servo the interest of
a dozen corporations, this line will be
operated solely and independently by
the Union Pacific railway company,
and there will bo no shaping or alter
ing of rates to meet possible emergen
cies. This line will be hampered by
no foreign influences, but will be hi
the hands of the controlling company
what the Northern Pacific line is to
the Canadian Pacific
Mr. B. Campbell is at present in
San Francisco, perfecting the details
of tho undertaking. Nothing definite
is known yet regarding the date on
which the first trip will be made, but
at tho best it will be several months
yet Mr. Campbell will return in
about three weeks, and will then sub
mit to general manager C. J. Smith a

plished. The Cold, Cold Fast.

Governor Francis, while in New York,

and to Jefferson City, taking charge
of the treasurer's office at once. Then
the bondsmen met and decided that
the deficit must be met and the- mat

that such action would be unlawful,
and he could not afford to compromise,

Henderson filed on one quarter sec
tion and Viola Davis filed on an ad
joining quarter. They built a house

dertook to prove up for the two home

does not comply with the law. A
husband and wife, while they live to

therefore have been living on his or
on her claim. One entry must be
