STATE RETURNS.
Porllnml. June 1. At 3 n. m. the re
sult of the election In this slate may be
summed up is follows: R. S. Kenn, Re
publican, Ik elected supremo JiidKe tiy a
plurality approaching 10.W0; Thos. 11.
Tonuue, HepuMlcnn, Is elected to con
gress In the Klrst district, by a small
plurality. In the Second district the con
test Is between Kills, Republican, and
quinn, Populist, with Indications fnvor
Ing yulnn. Northup polled a good vole
In Multnomah nnd Clatsop counties but
fell behind In Knstedn Oregon. The leg
islature Ih Republican In toth branches
nlthough by n reduced majority. The
Populisms have nmdo gains In. nearly ev
ery county In the stnto. Kx-llnvcrnur
Pennoyer Is electi-d mnyor of Portland by
over 2.000 plurality.
Wm. Frailer (Mitchell Republican). Is
eleot?d sheriff of this county and at this
time It looks ns though the entire Mitch
ell Republican tUknt was elected.
Portland, Or., Juno 1. The Indications
are that Pennnyor Is elected mayor and
that the Mitchell Republican ticket Is
successful.
The counting of the votes proceeds very
slowly. There nre many defective, bal
lots which will be thrown out. At lu
o'clock Geo. C. Sears, regular Republican
nominee for sheriff, admits his defeat and
concedes the eloctlon of Frailer, the
Mllrhell lb-publican. It will lie forty,
right hours In-fore tha count In this clly
Is completed. The general Impression Is
that I'etiiiiiyer I elect) mayor.

Marshlleld, Oregon, June l.-The rfturns
from three prinincts Indicate a grviu
falling off In tlie Populists' vote. Tongue
carries a Urge vote than Hermann In his
own home. Norway. J. W. Hennctt
leads so far In the contest for represen
tative. C. K. Harmon Is running way
ahead ami If he makes any showing In
JoM-phlne he will surely I e elected. The
returns here show a Populist loss and a
Republican gain.
LA GRANDE.
La Grande. June l.-Tlie county Is pro
gressing slowly ojhI no detinue returns
have been received. Every precinct henrii
fmm shows large Populist gains. Kills,
for congressman, will prolmbly carry the
county by a small plurality over yulnn.
Norlbup'a vote la very light, averaging
about one In ten so far us heard from.
The Indications point to the election ot
Mc-Cully, Republican candidate for
Joint senator for Vnlon and Wallowa
counties, while Taylor, for Joint senator
for I'nlon and I'matlllu counties. Repub
lican, may carry this county hy a small
plurality.
AT VNION.
Vnlon, Or., June 1. The election today
was the most exciting ever held In Union
county. The Injection of local Issues
and the fart that the three parties are
quite evenly divided has caused the sit
uation to be so badly mixed that the re
sult can be but conjecture tonight. Re
ports on partial counts Indicate that Ellis
will lead the congressional ticket and re
ceive his party vote. Taylor, Republican,
and Haley. Democrat, for Joint senator,
from Union and Umatilla counties, are
running nearly even. In the Joint senator
race for Union and Wallowa counties,
McAllister, Democrat, lends, with McCul
ly. Republican, closely following. There
Is little question that Stanley and
Wright, Republican ramlidntta for rep
resentatives, are elected. Aiken Is un
doubt.Hlly elected district Judge.

9. Partial returns from other portions
of the county Indicate about the same
proportionate, vote, although the returns
are Insufficient to base an estimate. It is
generally conceded Ulyou is elected, but
the Republicans claim two member ot
the lower house. In the race for senator
It Is doubtful between Driver and Skip
worth. On the county offices the results
nre very doubtful.

Consiaider.
Managua, Nicaragua, May It (Special
correspondence Associated Press, copy
righted 1KX-In view of the fact that
the government controlled the wires at
the time, a correspondent of the Asso
ciated Press here ha been compelled to
send by mall the following account of the
landing on May 2nd at Cortnto, of a, force
of about 100 American and British ma
rines from the United States steamship
Alert, and the British cruiser Comus,
who, acting in perfect harmony, occu
pied that port and protected until May 4
the property of foreign bouse In the
custom house and at the railroad station
subduing a riotous and drunken mob
which threatened to cause most serious
etlsturbsaces.
During the recent revolution In Nica
ragua there were remarkable Instances ot
the lawless manner la which the so-called
ministers of the provincial governments
can act when they have the opportunity.
For Instance, about starch (, Samuel
Mayorga, who was minister for the treas
ury In Baca of the revolutionary govern
ment, made a demand on 8. H. Harding,
an English subject, controller of the
branch at Leon, ot the London Bank ol
Central America, for a loan of ',( on
about 33,(m) of Nicaragua bonds of doubt
ful ownership, threatening to withdraw
protection from the bank if the demand
was not compiled with In a given time.
Harding succeeded In staving the mat
ter off until he had letters delivered se
cretly to Commander Franklin Hon font,
of the United States steamship Alert,
then the only warship at the port of Co
rtnto. and to the United States consular
agent at Corlnto, Henry Balasto. Com
mander . Hanford . Immediately aasured
Harding that be would resist any effort
to take by force the property or cltlsens
of the United States or of subjects ot
lorelgn governments In friendly relation
with the United State. Commander Han
ford sent this lettere hy the United
States consular agent, who took prompt
action and succeeded In saving the money
of the English bank from the Nlcaraguan
officials while at the same time clearly
showing the Insurgents that the property
of foreigners could not be Interferd with.
But on April 16. Minister Mayorga Is
sued a decree In the name ot the revolu
tionary government declaring that the
otllcers and books of the custom house
at Corlnto were to be at once removed to
Leon, the capital ot the revolutionary
government, situated about thirty miles
In the interior, adding that "owing to the
fact that the troops of Honduras (sent
to assist the army of President Zelayaj
might at any time overcome the small
force of Bacas troops at Corlnto, and
seise million of dollars' worth ot mer
chandise In the custom house belonging
to cltlsens of Nicaragua, and to foreign
ers as they had robbed private dwellings
and stores In the town of El Vie Jo. twenty-live
miles from Corlnto," fte, Samuel
Mayorga, minister of the treasury, bad
come to Corlnto with railroad trains to
remove the merchandise belonging to for
eigners from the custom house ot Co
rlnto to Leon.
it was evident, however, that the real
object of Mayorga was to obtain posses
sion of this property ana hold It as se
curity for the war loan. The foreigners
protested to Commander Hanford and to
Captain Henry H. Dyke, of the British
cruiser Comus, The American and Brit
ish commanders decided that they would
not allow the Insurgents to take posses
sion of the property of foreigner In the
custom house or railroad depot at Co
rlnto. This enraged Minister Mayorga so
much that he caused the arrest of all
native males In Corlnto between the ages
of 17 and 70 years, on the plea that a
great battle was imminent at Momotom
bo. After detaining them on the car a few
hours, Mayorga released all of those who
could pay him from SUM to S250 In cash
The disappointed soldiers became reckless
after their leaders deserted them and be
gan to drink and riot. They commenced
robbing houses and threatening the live
of everybody of the lower class at Corln
to. Women were Insulted and an attack
on the custom house was planned. The
soldiers seemed Insane with drink. They
robbed houses, violated women and young
girls, and began gathering about the cus
tom house.
About 1 p. m. May t a force of about
10O marines quickly drove tlie rioters Into
hiding. By order of Lieutenant Baker
the flag of Nicaragua was afterwards
hoisted to the flagstaff In front of the
custom house and the stars and strles
was hoisted on the flagstaff at the north
east side of the custom house. The Brit
ish flag was hoisted by Lieut Lewln, ot
the Comus, on the south side of the
building and also on the west end of the
railroad station. In half and hour after
peace prevailed In Corlnto.
NOT UP TO THE MARK.
Errors in Construction of the Battleship
Oregon,
Washington, June I. Defects In the
construction of the big battleship Oregon
Juat completed have recently come to
light and hnvo been the subject of Inves
tigation by the navy department.
It appears that there have been de
partures from the contract requirements
as to the thickness of the plates used In
making up the protective deck, and that
the deck has been made to appear of the
proper thickness by using concealed
plates In the body of the deck. Tho facta
have been brought to the attention ot
tho department by dissatisfied emptoyes,
but the contractors have agreed to make
good the deficits.
JUDGE HANFORD REVERSED.
United States Circuit Court of Appeals on
Bank Depositors.
San Francisco, June I. In the United
States circuit court of appeals today
Judge Hanford, of Seattle, was reversed
In the case ot Wlngate vs. Orchard,
which Involves a nice question as to a
man's relations In a bank In which he Is
both a stockholder and a depositor. Geo.
Orchard, a wtalthy citizens of Tac-oma,
was a large stock holderr and heavy de
positor In the Batik of Commerce of that
city, the failure of which In l"v3 sl
fecud Paul Bchulze, Walter M. Thomp
son, Nelson Bennett, and C D. Wright,
and proved almost a knock-out blow to
the prosperity of the city. Robert Wln
gate was appointed receiver of the bank
by the controller of the treasury, and
soon afterward made an assessment on
the stock which Orchard refused to
pay, holding that his deposit would offset
the amount of his Indebtedness on the
sssessment of bis stock.
Recover Wlngate sued to recover the
amount of the assesnment, and Judge
Hanford held that he could not collect,
as the amount Orchard had on deposit
could not be applied to the payment ot
the assessment. But the court of ap
ed Judge Hanford's decision. In the de
ed Judge Hanford's decision, n the de
cision of the higher court, rendered by
Judge Ross, the court says:
"Obviously, to permit the holder of
stock In such a bank to offset against the
assessment for additional liability thus
Imposed upon him, the amount of bis de
posits In the bank. In respect to which
be la no more than any other creditor,
would be. In fact, to moke him a pre
ferred creditor. If the amount ot his
deposit would equal the par value ot
hi stock, the allowance ot such offset
would be to pay bun In full the amount
of bis deposit" .
PROSPECTS VERY BRIGHT.
Chicago, June L Officials of the
granger roads are Jubilant these days
over the prospects of good crops In the
Western state. A representative of the
Northwestern, who has Just returned
from a trip over that line, says the pros
pects for large crops have never been
more favorable than at the present time.
Farmers along the Burlington and Mis
souri lines report that never before bos
there been such a splendid showing for
a bountiful crop. Grain and corn fields
look the finest and fruit prospects are
of the best All this foreshadows heavy
hauls for the railroads.
STEAMER WRECKED.
Seattle. June L A special to the Post

WHEN AND HOW TO BATHE.
Dr. Cyrus Ed son, ex-president of the
New York board of health, writes con
cerning bathing In June Ladies' Home
Journal: "A cold douche or any form
ot shower bath should not be used when
a person is tired or exhausted trora any
cause, as the reaction, on which the
shock depends for Its beneficial effect
does not follow effectually when the sys
tem Is tired.
"The result of the shower In such a
case Is apt to be Internal congestion.
which may be disastrous. It does not
follow, however, that a perspiring person
should not bathe until cooled off. As a
matter of fact if the person Is not ex
hausted the fact that the pores are
open Is rather advantageous than other
wise, as the reaction Is enhanced and
will probably follow more energetically.
A bath should never be taken within two
hours of a hearty meal. The first effect
of Immersion In warm or cold water Is
to seriously derange the digestive process
If that Is progressing at the time, and
by a physiological effect that naturally
follows, to unbalance or derange the
whole nervous system. The result ot
this Is extremely dangerous to the bather.
There are numerous Instances of severe
illness and even of death caused by
bathing while the stomach was full."

In conversation with Mr. John Mattson
few days ago, that gentleman, who is
ons of the best known and most success
ful fishermen on the lower Columbia riv
er, stated that be had been making some
Investigations of the earnings of the men
on the pack of 1395.
"The average catch per man was ( tons
1400 pounds during the season. The aver
age Indebtedness of each man to bis can
nery Is fXS. The gross earnings average
per man was 1670, ot which the boat
puller received one-third, or $223, leaving
the fisherman 1447 gross, or, 1181 net after
deducting his cannery Indebtedness. Of
course be baa bis net left but this la
usually worthless. This represents stx
months' hard work, and you cannot
blame the men for wanting better wages.
Why, after deducting his board he would
not have enough left to buy bis winter's
food and cloLilng."
"Mr. Mattson, bow much did you make
In 18967"
'Oh, I made S1209 or more, but you see
I was one of tbe lucky ones. There were
others who made nothing, and on top ot
that, lost their gear."
"Isn't the fishing business something
like the dry goods or grocery merchant
and Is It not a tact that competition rules
In all lines of trade or the mechanics, the
best man always being the most success
ful r
"I do not think the cases are parallel."
A careful Investigation made by five
different canneries of their books, showed
tne average Indebtedness for 15 of the
men- fishing lor thoew .oaanerlea. to Jj
about I15L At one cannery the figures
were as high as J175, tbe others all rang
ing lower. Taking this average as the
basis, and figuring on seven tone as the
average eaten for the men which these
canneries found was nearer correct,
and the following result appears: Aver
age catch TOO; boat puller, 1233.33: value
of net 1; total, 1566.67, earned or to the
credit of each fisherman at the end of the
season, from which deduct 1151 Indebted
ness, leaving $415 67 cents net, or $69.27 on
an avereage per man per month, or about
$35 per month for the entire twelve
These figure Include all of the unsuc
cessful fishermen. Inexperienced men, as
well as tbe good ones, and It would prob
ably be very hard to show any other line
of business paying a well to all engaged
In It including all of the good, bad
and Indifferent as tbe Columbia river
j fishermen earned last year. Other lines
of trade have been reduced, price of
commodities have been reduced, and it
would seem, from a disinterested stand
point that those engaged In the salmon
business, both fishermen and packers,
would have to take their shore ot the
general reduction. This at least. Is the
Interpretation put upon the matter by
many people.
About sixty Chinamen are engaged In
Kinney's cannery manufacturing cans,
and yesterday afternoon the men were
rigging up the plungers. It is understood
that Mr. Kinney's seines will be operated
in the near future, but Just when Is a
problem which could not be solved yes
terday. Mr. Kinney stated that he had
no Intention of fishing at five cents, but
from all that could be gleaned In that
and other quarters there seems to be
some expectation that fishing will be done
before long.
