In the country south ol this city two men bad the most savage battle ever recorded in this section. 8, 8. Leachman, a well known citizen, and Dick McElroy, a young man, comparatively a stranger, met in the road, wben McElroy chal lenged Leachman to fight. After bandy ing epithets, McElroy made a rush for Leachman, who held in bis hands a double-barrelled shotgun, which he broke over the former's head, but the blow did not bring the man down. He clinched Leachman, and the two men fought like beasts for an hour. After they had both been knocked down on the hard frozen ground many times, Leachman cried "enough," and then his assailant stepped back and tried to get a gun out of the bands of Leach man's son, but was prevented by the interference of bystanders, who helped the boy to resist the efforts of his fath er's antagonist. After twenty minutes McElroy fainted away from the effects of the, terrible blow over tbe head. Since that time be has been unconscious. Doctors say his case is serious. Leach man is under arrest.

You will, however, telegraph to Tsnng'Li Yamen, of the Chinese foreign office, for the purpose of obtaining our commands by which you will abide. Members of your mission are placed nnder y on r con trol. You will conduct your mission in a faithful and diligent manner, and ful fill the trust reposed m you."

This land was excepted' from a grant to the Northern Pacinc it. ail road Company by reason of the fact that the tract was embraced in the pre-ei. option made by Thomas Bigg and tiled in 1807, but deserted by him.

NEW STEAMER LINE From Portland Direct to the Asiatic Coast WILL BE RUNNING IN MAY The Deal Wilt Be Cloaed In a Few Days The Great Northern Railway Com pany Behind tho Project In Time for the Opening of the Tea Beaion. Pobtlakd, Or., February 6. The new Portland and Asiatic steamship line, which is to be established by the Ore gon Railway & Navigation Company and Great Northern railway, will begin its regular monthly service about May 1. The names of the steamers which are to ply on the route have not yet been given out. What few details are yet to be set tled will be attended to on the arrival of Mr. Davidge in this city. The con tract is yet to be approved by the St. Paul officials of the Great Northern, but is thought that there will be no fur ther hitch in the programme. Portland merchants are greatly pleased with tbe idea of this city having an in dependent line to the Asiatic coast, and predict that the scheme will be a suc cess from the start. It will receive every support from the business men of tbe city and Mate, and much or all ol the trade with the Orient, which has heretofore gone by way of San Francisco, will be diverted to the new line. The assistance of the Great Northern with its Eastern connections will be of in calculable benefit to tbe company. The beginning of the service, on May 1 will insure a good healthy commencement to the enterprise. The tea season in the Orient opens about that time, and this will enable the Oregon Railway & Navi gation Company to get its hands on ft lot ol cargo, which will ureve very ac ceptable freight for the transcontinental line. It is generally believed that the prime mover in the new enterprise is the Presi dent of the Great Northern. Mr. Hill has an ambition to shine in the business world as a great steamship magnate. He has already done some wonders in that line and may do more. As Presi dent of the Northern Steamship Com pany be has built up a service between Buffalo and Duluth which is not ex celled by that of any other line on tbe lakes. The two principal steamers of the line, the North West and the North Land, are as fine craft aa are anoat any where. OREGON'S INSANE. Report of the Superintendent of the Aaylum for January.
