Two bodies have been al ready recovered, but are not yet IdentI fled. The car contained about' fifteen passengers, but ten of them escaped by Jumping,- Just as the car left the bridge. A heavy fog was prevailing at the time . of the accident and the draw of the bridge was open for a pass ing steamboat. James Steel, president of the railway company has heen placed under arrest. Four bodies have been already recovered and taken to the morgue namely: Chas. Breckman, a bookkeeper, who leaves a wife: Alex. Campbell, saloon keeper, leaves a wife and child; Jotin P. Anderson, cabinet maker, who leaves a wife and Ave children George Stadtler who leaves a wife. Two men named Bennock and Scott are missing. Several of the passengers received slight injuries in Jumplngi from the car. Motorman C. F. Terry gives the following version of the acci dent "When the car came on the nrldge the power was thrown off and tha car approached the draw at low rate of speed.- The fog was so heavy, that 1 was- unable to see the lights at. J ho draw. When about four spans from 1 he draw I put on the brakes but owincr to the slippery condition of . the track they refused to work, and I had no sand. . When within one span of the draw, I reversed the car but he mo mentum was so great that it was of no avail. Seeing that it was iinpls slble to avert nn accident, I Jumped, catching the railing of the bridge ;ust as the car crashed through the wooJt-n gate in front of the cliasn Conductor W. C.

God has Indeed been most beneficent to our state and nation, and yet unjust and Ill-advised congressional legislation having made gold alone full legal tender money, has so dwarfed tmd paralyzed business that the boun ties of drovidence are now denied to hundred!! of thousands of people within the national domain who are not only without employment, but also without the means of procuring food, raiment, or shelter. While therefore, the peo ple of Ovegon .return thanks to God for his goodness, I do most earnestly recommend that they will devoutly im- plore Him to dispose the president and congress of the United States to secure the restoration of silver as full legal tender money in accordance with the policy of the fathers of the republic, whereby our industries may be revived and the honest toilers of the land may procure their dally bread, not as alms, but as a reward for their labor."

The American petroleum trade in China and Japan will have a serious competitor there if the Russian gov eminent carries out Ihe shemo of one of its state' mgluejrs, Mr. Batsevltch, for the exploitation ni tho niptha hods of Sakhallne Island. This island, off the Siberian coast, n the Okhotsk Sea, is only a short !i.stance rom Jupan and China, and Us naphtha Is even superior In quality t- that rf the Cau cusus.

Moreover, the re gion of the Amoor consumes annually about 100,000 ;XKKls ul petroleum, worth about 200,000 ;old ruble.

THE NATIVES WHIPPED. Matters Have Come to a Climax In tho South of Africa. Cape Town, Nov. 1. Cecil Rhodes, premier of : Cape Colony, telegraphs from Fort Charter that native runners say the Hatabeles have been utterly defeated hus fled. The British columns effected a Juncture at Buluwayo, and both col umns are now pursuing the fugitive king and his followers. Major Forbes had a desperate fight with Lubeungu- la's Rackinrlzo regiment, and half the latter were destroyed. The blacks fought with great bravery, but the ma chine guns and unerring rifles of the whites were too much for them. The destruction was such that they never got within spear distance of the white columns, and they finally broke in ut ter rout. The loss to the Charter com pany's forces is slight. Matabeles' loss Is reported to be over 3,000 killed and wounded Washington, Nov. 1. The great finan cial fight In tho extra session ofeon- gress is oyer. At 2:50 the house by a vote of 191 to 94, concurred In the senate amendments to the repeal bill, which now goes to the president for Ills signiture. The senate received a communication at 3:55 p. m. from the house announc ing that that body had concurred in the senate amendments to the repeal bill. Vice-President Stevenson at once affixed his signature together with that of speaker Crisp and nnndunced it to the senate, bill at ; p, m was delivered to the chairman of the house com mittee on enrolled bills and was at once sent to tha president for his sig nature. It Is expected that the bill will be officially approved by the presi dent before 6 p. m. Bland having- declined the offer of Wilson to allow a one, two, or three hours debate after the prevfous mo tion, and having refused to enter into any agreement whatever, that did not leave the repeal bill open for a" gen eral debate and amendment, Wilson demanded the previous question. The silver men then began their filibuster ing tactics. Speaker Crisp took ad vantage of. a momentary lull to put the imotlon for Ithe previous! question which was declared carried. It was all done so quickly that the silver men did not seem to know what had hap pened. The result was greeted with loud applause. Wilson asked Bland to consume the 15 minutes to which his side was entitled and Bland began his address. The analysis of the vote on the- re peal bill shows that 124 democrats, 68 republicans and 1 populist (Cannon, of California) voted for concurrence, and 70 democrats, 15 republicans, and 9 pop ulists against the motion. The final vote was taken at 2:50 p. m. The bill was engrossed Immediately and twenty mlnutjs later, at 3:10, the formal an nouncement was made to the senato that its amendments had been agreed to by tho house. The bill was hur riedly en-rolled, and at 3-10 was pre sented to Speaker Crisp for his signa ture. A messenger carried It to the senate, where It waii elgr.td two min utes later by Vice-President Stevenson, Chairman Pearson, of Ihe committee nn enrolled bills, with the measure under his arm, entered a carriage awaiting him, and drove rapidly to the White House. The president -d been kept duly advised of the progress of events. Indeed, he manifested so much interest in the vote in the' house, that at hU request a duplicate the names of those who voted for and against con currence was made soon after the roll call was completed, and this list was lying on hfs desk when Pearson or- trouule in India and Australia. Our export ' trade with China, Singapore, and South Africa are already paral yzed by the fall in the rates of silver exchange. London has been praying that you will stop your silver pur chases, thinking that then your stock market may revive so that she may send you home your securities Tealizcd at higher prices. We are in no poi 1 tlon o buy. The great English man ufacturing fortunes have suffered ter ribly. When we In England have finan cial troubles, the times here are bad, and the prices are depressed so that your exports to Englnnd fall -ofT, nnd your Imports remaining the same, the gold leaves you. To borrow gold In England and bring It here Inevitably turns the balance of trade against this country. It would turn It in the faoo even of a great harvest." ABOUT THE CHINESIi. Lengthy Amendments to the McCreary Bill Brought in. Washington, Nov. 1. The bill amend ing the act of exclusion of the Chinese v.as taken up In the senate today, and Gray explained Its provisions. Hoar offered -an amendment in the nature of a substitute, striking out all but the enacting clause. The amendment sus pends immigration pending the settle ment. of the whole question by a treaty with the Chinese government, and amends the provisions of the existing law regarding the registration and tri als of Chinese aliens. Davis also of fered a substitute providing for the repeal of all existing laws excluding Chinese Immigration. Dolph spoke in defense of the Geary law. Squire of fered aa amendment appropriating J100 jo. for the enforcement during1 the present fiscal year of several acts regu lutlng and prohibiting Chinese immi gration, and addressed the senate in advocacy of it. Gray attempted to so cure the unanimous consent of the sen ate to vote on the pending bill by 4 o'clock. Hoar objected, and after a brief executive session the senate adjourned. THE OREGON PACIFIC.

No more bodies were to be seen. however. It Is thought that two more bodies may possibly be in the car, as Ccott and Bennock are still missing. Lata this afternoon the body of T. Bennick was recovered, making the fifth found. Bennick was a deaf mule, and also a resident of Milwaukee. He leaves a wife and three children. Paul Oder and a boy named Albee are miss ing, and it is thought possible that they are among the drowned. rived with the bill. Secretary Carlisle. and that King Lobcunggula Attoinev General Olnev. nnd Pilvnla IT ' . Secretary Thurber were present. After After felicitating with each other for a few moments, over the victory that had been achieved, thei president tof-k up the engrossed copy of the bill and read It ttloud. Then picking up a quill pen, he affixed his autograph at 4:25, and thus 85 days, -4 hours and 25 min utes after thei extraordinary session convened, the remedy for tho financial distress which Cleveland had demanded had been .applied. A published Interview with Moreton Frewen, the English bl-metalllst, cred its him as saying: "If the price of silver bullion falls, as I expect will be the case, that will drag down exchange rates from the for east which are al ready at a snapping point, and we shall have a panic In London before the New Year, a panic you will feel on every corner of thlB continent." Then you don't favor the view that the repeal of the act will bring buying orders from London to Wall street?" No. London will be a seller for a long time to come. We are in great positive sale of that road, together with the steamship Willamette Valley, on December 15th. D. B. Vaughn, general agent or tne company here, announces that purchasers are ready to buy the road, and as soon as the sale is con summated, an additional steamer will probably be put on between San Fran Cisco and Taquina, and the railroad ex tended farther east HARRISON IS BURIED.
