Nr. I.oimh, January 23. United States
Circuit Judge Walter II. Sanborn to-day
hnndi'd down a decision upon applica
tion of K. (iordon Dexter and Oliver
Ames, second trustee for the first mort
gage bondholders of the Union Pacific
Kailwiiy Comjiany, for a separate re
ceiver for the portion of the Union Pa
cific system covered by the first mort
gage. The deciHion on the order covers
even closely type-written pages, and in
i' Meet grunts the application. The re
ceivers appointed are tiie same as those
now in charge of the entire system, viz. :
. II. II. Clark, Oliver W. Mink, E. El
lcry Anderson, John W, Doane and
Frederic It. Condert. The order pro
vides that funds already earned by the
mud be Ured by the receivers to settle
debts and just claims under the present
receivership. In addition the court re
serve the right to order that any defi
ciency in such funds shall be made good
from future earnings under a feimiutii
receivership. In effect the decision to
day simply sequestrates the old main
line from the rent of the svstem onlv sn
fur as accounts are concerned, so Hint the
property covered by the first nioilgsge

and no other. The other portions of the
roaa and branches, while under the man
agement of the same receivers, will have
a separate system of accounting, al
though they will be run by the same ex
ecutive. Hi-lore he issued the order
Judge Bun bom staled that he hud
changed one clause, making future earn
ings to a certain extent liable for present
indebtedness, as he felt that too much
protection could not be given the present
receivers in the Ames case. lie stated,
however, that before making any order
to pay any of the present operating in
debtedness he would always give the
plaintiffs in the foreclosure suits tlie
privilege of a hearing.
Attorney Price for the complainants
stntcd that he was perfectly satisfied
Willi the order. The Judge then called
for the appearance of the Union Trut
Company and that of the Union Pacific
Kail road Company. Mr. Pierce pre
sented one and Attorney Kelly in belinlf
of the Union Pacific the other. Judge
Sanborn appointed Mr. Kelly special
clerk and messenger for the court to
carry the order and the appearance to
the clerks' oflices of the northern dis
trict of this circuit, at Oinuha and place
them on file. Jud.-e Sanborn stated
after the order IihiI been issued that the
appointment of tlie new receivers in no
wise changed the manner operating the
system, but that the future surplus earn

TIICItSTOfl'ONTlIK FORECLOSURE.
Omah a, January 23. The Union Pa
cific attorneys, who went to St. Louis to
anxist in foreclosing the first mortgages,
returned to day. Speaking of the suit,
Judge Tlnirsion said:
" The situation of the property has
rr ached the point where foreclosure was
inevitable, The first mortgage interest
is in default and the system in the hands
of receivers. The first installment of
1)0,476.000 of the principal will be due
January 1, 18D0, and there is no possi
bility of that amount being paid except
by foreclosure sale. This foreclosure ol
the firet mortgage on the part of the
Union Pacific main line is really the last
foreclosure to be brought. The mort
gages on the Oregon Railway and Navi
gation Company, the Union Pacific,
Denver and l-iul', on all the divisions of
the Oregon Short Line and Utah North
ern, Kansas Pacific, Denver Pacific, Kan
sas Central and several other branch
"lines are already in process of foreclos
ure, and receivers have been appointed
under all of them. This foreclosure does
not prejudice the government's interest
Jin any possible way. The government
can come into this case and foreclose
its mortgage as a second lien, or it can
foreclose independently, but always sub
ject to the first mortgage. The time hat
now come when Congress must either
act during the present session or the
mat ter will pass beyond legislation and
miiBt be settled by the courts. I am
very glad this is so, because it will re
lieve me as Senator from the responsi
bility of legislation."

TALK WITH CARLISLE.
DUousscd Finances With the Appronrl
atlou Committee.
Wasiunootn. Januarv 21. An im
portant meeting of the House Appropri
ations Committee was lit Id to-day, in
which Secretary Carlisle took part at
tlie request of Chairman Savres. The
conference was over the adoption of a
policy by which the Secretary hopes to
put into circulation an increased volume
ol silver certificates of small denomina
tions in place of tieasury notes. The
committee decided to strike from the
sundry civil bill the stipulation that for
several years has been added to the item
providing for printing treasury notes to
replace those received at tlie treasury.
Secretary Carlisle stated that it was his
desire to get more silver certificates of
small denominations into tlie bunds of
the people, and explained that other
notes occupied the field and crowded
them out. Several members of the com
mittee led tlie discussion from tlie ques
tion of silver certificates into tlie by
ways of finance. Siblev asked tlie Sec
retary what objection there would be to
a system of redeeming notes in gold and
silver at the option of the Secretary of
the Treasury instead of tlie holder, and
the Secretary answered :
"If that policy had been inauguratr 1
at the beginning of resumption, it would
have worked beneficially and no trouble
would have arisen from it, but my pre
decessors have followed the policy of re
deeming in gold or silver at the option
of the holder of paper, and anv Secre
tary who tried to change this policy and
worked silver on a man who wanted
gold or vice versa, especially at such a
critical period as we have been passing
through, would have precipitated disas
trous results."

Idaho Springs, January 23. There is
likelihood of trouble in this camp over
the fact that Chineso laborers are being
brought to work in the mines. The first
Installment of Chinese came Thursday
to the Argonaut mine, eight miles from
Idaho Springs. Eight Chinese were in
the gang, with one white boss. Work
commenced Friday, and continued Sat
urday. Saturday night the Chinese were
waited upon by a committee of white
mineis, who requested them to quit the
camp. They were given until Sunday
morning to leave, and did so, coming to
town, where they camped, awaiting or

Teng Chow.
Washington, January 23. Secretary
Qresham to-day received two cables
from United States Minister Denby at
Peking conifirming the reports of the
landing of Japanese troops near Che
Foo. The first states that Teng Chow
had been bombarded by three Japanese
ships, and that the American mission
aries had left on the Yorktown.
The second, under date of January 21,
states that it is reported that Teng
Chow, fifty miles northwest of Che Foo,
had been bombarded by the Japanese,
who had subsequently effected a landing
at the Shantung Promontory. This
places the Japanese in a position be
tween Peking on the west and the great
fortress of Wei Hai Wei on the east.

THE
IIILLSBOUO,
TO FORM HIE CABINET
M. Bourgeois Will Try What
He Can Do.
THE NEW PBESIDENT OF FRANCE
It U Expected That Two of Kx-Fresl-dent
Caalmlr-Perler's Ministers Are
Wllllug to Accept Positions In the
New Cabinet Now Hclng Formed.
Pa ins, January 21. The election of
M. Felix Faure to the Presidency has
been well received by the Moderate press,
and is violently criticised by the Radical
and Socialist newspapers. Paris was
very tranquil last night. The working
classes were astonished at M. Brisson's
defeat, but nodemonstration was report
ed. A meeting of Socialists took place
this evening at the Maison du Peuple, at
which resolutions strongly condemning
M. Felix Faure and demanding the sup
pression of the Presidency were adopted
amid cries of " Vive la revolution soci
ale " and " Down with reaction."
General Fevrier, Grand Chancellor ol
the Legion of Honor, gave M. Faure to
day the collar of Grand Master of the
order. It was learned at 10 o'clock this
evening that M. Bourgeois after a two
hours' conference with M. Faure had
consented to try to form a Cabinet. He
will go to the Llysee to-morrow to report
the result of his negotiations. It is ex
pected that M. Poincarre will return to
the Ministry of Finance and M. 1-eygiies
to the Ministry of Education. Paul
Peytral, lxsuis Terrier and Eugene Gode
froy Cavaignac would accept Cabinet
places under M. Bourgeois as Premier.
Ex-President Casirnir-Perier is ex

see and return to his residence, No. 23

rresuient nau a cordial interview to-uav
with his successor, who will occupy the
palace to-morrow. The date for the assem
bling of Parliament to hear tlie new
President's message has nut yet been
nxed. M. uanataux. Minister ol For
eign Affairs, submitted to M. Faure for
his approval to-day a draft of a telegram
informing the representatives of France
abroad of the election of M. Faure to
the Presidency.
The staff of the Ministry of Marine
called upon rresuient faure to-day, and
bade farewell to him as their chief. The
President then went to the Elvsee Pal
ace, where he was received with military
honors.
no change of pabty.
Washington, Januury 21. "The elec
tion of M. Faure," savs Jules Putenotre,
the French Ambassador to the United
States, " means a change in the name of
the President of France, but not a change
of political party. M. Faure was a mem
ber of the Cabinet which resigned a few
days ago, and is therefore a friend of M.
Casimir-Perier. It is not likely that
there will be a change in political policy,
as the same party to which M. Casimir
Perier belonged is still in power. It is a
fortunate thing, I think, that we do not
delay in France in making our political
changes. Not more than forty-eight
hours less than that in fact have
elapsed since M. Casimir-Perier tendered
his resignation, and here we have his
successor selected. Quick action in such
cases serves to bring quiet to the coun
try, which is always somewhat agitated
when the office of President is vacant
and a Ministerial crisis is at hand. What
will become of M. Casimir-Perier? He
will retire from political life, I presume.
He did not want the Presidency when it
was given him, and he is probably thank
ful to be enabled to retire."
As to the cry of "Long live the King"
uttered by the Duke of La Rochfonhl in
tlie Chamber of Deputies when M. Cos-imir-Perier's
letter had been read M.
Patenotre said it meant nothing. Such
cries were always to be beard at such
times, but the royalists had no power in
the administration of affairs. There are
scarcely twenty-five of the royalist party
in the chamber, said the Ambassador.
M. Patenotre has known the new Pres
ident of France lor twenty years, but
iney nave not, seen much ot each other,
as the Ambassador has been absent from
his country on diplomatic service during
most, ot that time.
Till VATICAN SATISFIED.
Rome, January 21. The Vatican is
satisfied with the election of faure to
the French Presidency. The Papal Nun
cio in Paris has been instructed to con
gratulate him. The Osservatore Romano
aays :
" The friends of law and order ought
to be entirely satisfied with the election
in France. The conservative policy ol
M. Faure will harmonize undoubtedly
with that of his predecessors. The Lib
eral newspapers wish M. Faure success
in his struggle with the revolutionists,
but say it is impossible to predict the
outcome."
A PURE FABRICATION.
Dover, England, January 21. The
Duke of Orleans and suite left for Lon
don to-day. M. de Bonival, the Duke's
secretary, said the alleged interview with
the Duke, printed in England yesterday,
was a pure fabrication.
A GLOOMY VIEW.
Berlin, January 21, The Hamburgei
Nachrichten, Bismarck's organ, says that
the future of the French Republic was
never so gloomy as to-day.
Secret Treaty Against Mexico.
Tegucigalpa, Honduras, January 21.
A Guatemalan envoy, who has arrived
here, brought, it is stated, a proposition
for a secret treaty alliance between
Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua,
primarily against Mexico, but if there is
no war with Mexico, to attack, conquer
and divide Salvador. His Buccess is un
known. The presB predicts a revolution
due to the bad state of business, finan
cial difficulties of the government and
increasing taxation. Many people are
moving to Salvador.
Porto Rico Not Included.
Madrid, January 21. Porto Rico has
asked that it be not included in the mo
dus vivendi between Spain and the
United States upon the ground that
Porto Rico sugar goes to Canada, not the
United States. Some Deputies, it is
said, intend to attack the Cabinet, ac
cusing the Ministers of having yielded
to me menaces oi uieveiand,
ARGUS
OREGON, THURSDAY,
HAWAIIAN UPRISING.
Charles L. Carter, One of the Annexa
tionists, Kliot to Death,
San Francisco, January 21. The
steamer Alameda arrived from Auck
land and Sydney via Honolulu this after
noon, and brought new s of a revolution
and bloodshed at Honolulu. Charles L
Carter, who was one of the annexation
Commissioners, was killed and several
government supporters were wounded,
There has been much fighting, and at
least twelve natives have been killed,
Nearly 200 royalists are under arrest,
Robert Wilcox is theleaderof the rebels.
The fighting was still in progress when
the Alameda left Honolulu January 11,
but the government forces had practi
cally overcome the revolutionists. The
story of the revolution is as follows :
There were no fresh develonments
in the threatened uj ris'ng until Sun
day afternoon, January 0, when the
Marshal's detectives brought in news
that led that officer immediately to sum
mon the Cabinet and leading officers of
the military and Citizens' Guard for con
sultation. In a few minutes after their
arrival Deputy Marshal Brown and a
squad of police under Captain Parker
leir, lor tne teach at Waikiki with or
ders to search the premises of Henry
Bertelmann, a prominent royaliBt, for
arms and ammunition. Just previous
to reaching the place the posse was
joined dv Charles JL. Uarter, Alfred Car
ter and J. B. Castle, who lived near by,
all members of the Citizens' Guard. On
approaching the house the Deoutv Mar
shal left the Bquad on the lawn while he
entered the house, and finding Bertel
mann and a strange white man there,
proceeded to read his warrant. When
about half through shots were heard
from the rear of the house. The officer
said quickly:
"What does that mean?"
" I know nothing about it. There are
no arms here," replied Bertelmann.
Brown rushed out to join his squad,
and Charles Carter shouted :
" There thev are under the boatshed."
He pointed to a shed in the rear of
the lot, and rushed forward, followed by
his cousin, Castle, and the others. At
that instant a volley was fired by a
crown oi natives under the shed, and
Charles Carter and Lieutenant Holi fell,
wounded. The police charged and drove
the natives out on the beach, whence
the latter retreated to the brush, keep
ing up a desultory firing. As the police
only numbered eight, and there were
three or four times as many natives,
they returned to the house, taking with
them three of the rebels whom they had
captured in the melee, during which
some sixty shots were fired. Taking the
wounded men also, and first caring for
them as well as possible, they searched
the prisoners, placingi Bertelmann also
under arrest. The first one was recog
nized as John Lane. He had a heavy
revolver, belt of cartridges and rifle; the
second, a pocket pistol and a belt of
cartridges. The others were unarmed,
but a short riHe was found behind the
door, which evidently belonged to him.
As Holi says Lane was the man who
shot him, there is no doubt that Carter's
three wounds came from Lane's pistol,
it having three empty chambers.
From statements of the natives cap
tured during the day it was ascertained
that the captain of the little steamer
Waimanalo was responsible for the land
ing of the arms with which the natives
were supplied. The entire crew was ar
rested. The mate confessed, and when
confronted with his testimony the cap
tain also acknowledged his guilt. The
government claims to have evidence of
the whole transaction from the original
purchase until the final disposition.
During the day a large number of
prominent royalists were arrested, in
cluding the editor of the Holomua,
which paper has suspended, the busi
ness manager being since arrested.
ROSEBERY'S LAST SPEECH.
The Position of the Lords the Supreme
Question of the Hour.
London, January 21. Lord Rosebery
said in a speech in Cardiff this evening
that Welsh disestablishment would be
the first measure of the next Parliamen
tary session. He did not doubt that the
established Church in Wales was
doomed, but everybody must remember
that the House of lords presented a
permanent barrier to the measure on
which the Welsh had set their hearts.
The position of the Lords was the su
preme question of the hour. When the
government resolution dealing with this
question should be submitted it would
involve the dissolution of Parliament.
Before the dissolution, however, he
wished Parliament to deal with the
liquor traffic, representation of labor
and the one-man-vote issue.
Naval Appropriation Bill.
Washington January 21. The sub
committee of naval affairs has agreed to
report an appropriation for three battle
ships on the lines recommended by the
Secretary of the Navy in his last annual
report. The ships are to be about 10,
000 tons displacement. An appropria
tion was also reported for twelve torpedo
boats and to increase the force of en
listed men by 2,000. The bill appropri
ates from 13,000,000 to $4,000,000 more
than the last appropriation, due to the
fact that it carries a heavy deficiency for
armor plate not provided for in the last
bill. The cost of the battle ships is lim
ited to $4,000,000, and one is to be built
on the Pacific Coast. Considering the
superior effectiveness of rapid-firing
guns, which was clearly demonstrated
by the Yalu river fight, the committee
has made a provision for a large number
of them.
That Spokane Post.
Washington, January 21. The fight
made by Mitchell on the Spokane poet
resulted in a compromise, he getting an
amendment which declares it is not the
purpose to abandon Vancouver or Walla
Walla. No objection was made by
friends of the Spokane post, and it went
through. The amendment, will cut no
figure, for at present the War Depart
ment has no desire to abandon either of
these posts, but it will abandon those
near Spokane in time.
Dissected Before Death.
City of Mexico, January 21. The
people of Mexico are greatly excited
over the dissection of Antonio Vangose
while still alive. The supposed corpse
sprang to its feet, shouting " Don't kill
me I" whereupon the dissector endeav
ored to put back the pieces oi flesh and
sew up the incisions. The man was a
genuine corpse in two days.

P. Lord.
Governor William P. Lord was born
in Dover, Del., in 1838. He graduated
from college in I860, just as the country
was passing through the period of heated
disputes in and out of Congress destined
to terminate in the rebellion. War was
declared just as young Lord had com-
menced the study of law. Patriotism
was stronger than mere personal con
siderations, and he enlisted promptly in
the service of his country as Captain of
the First Delaware Cavalry. Through
meritorous service he was later promoted
to the rank of Major, and served with
distinction until the end of the war,
when he resumed his interrupted legal
studies. He was afterward appointed
Lieutenant of the Second Artillery and
detailed for service on the Pacific Coast.
In 1868 he resigned from the army and
commenoed practicing law at Salem, Or.
in is8 ne was elected State Senator for
Marion county, and resigned to accept
the dignified Dositinnof Judcrft nf t-.hn Kn.
preme Court in 1880. For fourteen years
Judge Lord was universally recognized
as one of the most distinguished jurists
on the Coast. As Chief Executive of
the commonwealth of Oregon William
P. Lord will undoubtedly add new' lau
rels to those which have already crowned
his life and fill the gubernatorial chair
in a manner creditable to the State
which slssied him.
