A Naples dispatch says Mount Vesu vius is in great activity. A mass ot lava is pouring out from the Artio do Cavello crater, which opened in 1805. Two wide streams are flowing down In the direction ot Vitrova and lliimo del Inestro. A terrible famine is raging in the province of Archangel, Russia. Many have already dieJ. of starvation. The p.:oplo wander about reduced almost to skeletons, the heads swollen to the size of baskets. The only means of subsist ence is tea. The chamber of commerce of Sun Francisco, has sent the following mes sage to President McKinley; "In the name of humanity and patriotism, the chamber of commerce of San Francisco respectfully urges upon you the prompt dispatch of the revenue cutter Bear to the Arctic, under command of Captain Healy, with discretionary orders, fully equipped and provisioned, to rescue over 400 men imprisoned by ioe hear Point Burrow, and with authority to use, if necessary, reindeer, at the gov ernment station, to facilitate the land ing." The United States supreme court has affirmed the decision of the lower court In the case of the interstate commerce commission against the Alabama Mid land and the Georgia Contral railways, and others. The case arose out of charges by citizens of Alabama that the companies were disregarding he long-and-short-haul clause of the interstate commerce law. The point at issue was whether, when there was competition between railroads and water transpor tation, the roads must file lower rates with interstate commerce commmis sion, and it was decided in the nega tive by the court. The anarchists of New York cele brated the 11th anniversary of the con viction of their comrades in Chicago, at a public meeting. ' There were about 600 anarchists in the audience. Johann Most presided and spoke of the "canaille of capitalism," which he said congratulated itself that the social question had been squelnhod, and that peace and order prevailed. He wanted to tell the politioal bandits that "the anarchists were not gathered to mourn or to shed tears, but to sing a song of I triumph, for the future was not far off. " Ho called the government a cowboy government, with apologies to cowboys, and tickled his hearers by saying only one bomb was fired in the Haymarket, bnt it did excellent execution. Aura to Be Much Oppoaltaon at the Coming Session. Washington, Nov. 15. One of the prominent measures which will be brought before congress at the coming session is the consideration of the Nic aragua canal. From the present out look it is probable that oo action will be taken, and that final vote on the bill will not tie reached. The main proposition which is now pending ia the construction of the canal by a com pany, the bonds of which to the amount of 170,000,000 shall be guaranteed by the government. ' i It is not strange, in view of the re cent complications which have arisen, that members of congress hesitate about going into a scheme involving any such guarantee. It may mean that the Uni ted States will not only pay the interest, but, in the end, will be compelled to pay the principal of these bonds. There is also fear of a scheme or trick by some underhanded and underground meth ods. People do not care to be entangled with a concern which ia operating for its own profit. Many men would gladly vote for the building of the Nicaragua canal if the United States would have absoltue control, and if it was assured that it could be built for 1100,000,000, but, as the matter stands now, it is very doubtful whether the canal oan be built for that amount, and it is also doubtful whether the company which owns the concessions will be able to carry out the plans and purposes of the bill which has long been pending before congress. It is well known that the greatest benefits that would come from building the canal would accrue first to the At lantic coast New York and New Eng land then the Gulf states, next the Pacific states, and following, possibly the states bordering on the Mississippi river, which would ship their products to the Paciflo coast by way of the Nic aragua canal. It most be acknowl edged that the interior states would de rive little benefit, and is it not to be wondered at that their representatives hesitate about them embarking in any such undertaking. Even big Tom Reed, the speaker of the house, bailing from Maine, a great maritime state, hesitates about putting the seal of his approval, or, in other words, allowing the Nicaragua canal bill to come before the house, when it involves such a vast expenditure from the United States treasury. These are the reasons that will pre vent the consideration and passage of the Nicaragua canal bill at the coming session. 'X" RAY IN A DAMAGE SUIT. Itoantgen'a Discovery In Court for the Flrat Time. New York, Nov. 15. "X" rays were used in court for the first time in this country in a damage suit before a jury in the Brooklyn superior court. Martin Hutchinson, 9 years old, was subjected to ray examination for sev eral minutes. He was injured on Christmas night, 1895, by being eject ed from a street car. The plaintiff contends that the head of the left humerus was fractured from the boy's fall from the oar when the conductor threw him off. A dynamo was placed in front of the jury box and near the lawyers' table, and a largo Crooke'a lulie was used. Soon after the case had been resumed young Hutchinson's jacket and outside shirt were removed. The arms and shoulders were exposed. Before the examination the question as to whether any possible injury would result from the examination was discussed, J. Stewart Ross, who rep resents the plaintiff, insisted that a limit as to the time of the examination should be Bet. It was decided that it should be three minutes. When the boy took his seat with his left shoulder about six inches from the Crooke's tube, he smiled at the jury and the lawyers. Dr. William Morton looked at the boy's left shoulder through a fleuroscope, and Judge John son, who presided at the trial, stood up and timed the proceeding. George L. Fowler then took the fleuroscope and looked at the boy's loft arm and should er until time was called. Dr. Morton and Dr. Fowler will tell on the stand the result of the examina tion. They are witnesses for the de fense. Previous to that made in court there had been examinations of the hoy's shouldor. The examinations were made tw show the lesult of the frac tures.. Outlook Has Improved. New York, Nov. 15. A dispatch to the Herald from Madrid says; The out look as regards the United States is considered to have improved. Greater quiet prevails here. It is reported here that the papal ounoio at Madrid who is at present in Rome has received instructions fom the pope to exhort the Spanish clergy against espousing the cause of Don Carlos. Weavera Demands Granted. Philadelphia, Nov. 15. The 850 weavers employed by F. A. Bachman St Co. , who struck about three weeks ago for higher wagon, returned to work this afternon, the company having granted them an advance of from 6 to . 8 per cent. The strike of weavers threw ( Dearly 1,000 persons out of work. Miles' Estimates for Fortifi cation Work Approved. OVER THREE MILLIONS NEEDED The Bum of 608,000 Is Reeommend ed for the Columbia River and SI,- 140,000 for the Sound. . .. Washington, Nov. J 5. Secretary Alger hag approved the estimates for the coast-defense work submitted by General Miles, and they will be sub mitted to Chairman Cannon, of the house committee . on appropriations some days before the openii.g of the session. In accordance with law, the expenditures of the different seaports are itemized, but the secretary will ask for authority to spend the money in lump sums, so that work on any par ticular defense may be hurried to meet emergencies. General Miles divides the fortification appropriation Uu lh Pacific coast as follows: Ran DIpro, Cal I 7l5,0M) Kan Francisco l,X'f,,vii Columbia river .... eHTi,we Pugct sound 1,110,000 In his report to the secretary, Gen eral Miles makes no reference to pos sible complications with Spain, but says: "Although the general desire of our people is to maintain a condition of peace with all nations, and the policy of the government is one of good will and peaceful relations with a!! others, yet nothing could be more injurious than to settle in a condition of inse curity and permit the lives of millions and the accumulated wealth of man generations to be destroyed or endanger ed by any foreign power with which we are liable to come in contact, and the general plan for defense which lias been adopted by the government should be steadily pursued until the nation is in the condition of security and safety which a due regard for.self-pri starvation would demand." A VALUABLE CYCLOPEDIA. 43fremerc:lal Direotory of American Re. publics Presented to the Preaident. Washington, Nov. 15. Secretary Sherman, Minister Romero of Mexico, and Minister Merou of Argentine, mem bers of the executive committee of the bureau ot American republics, were at the White House today and presented the first vol umn of the commercial di rectory of the American republics to President McKinley. There was con siderable formality about the matter, the presentation being made in the blue parlor. Secretary Sherman presented the volume, saying the work was re garded as of "auch vast practical im portance to the commerce of our coun try, as to be well worthy that we ihoul J come in a body to present it to you. Upon looking through its pages yon will discern its far-reaching value as a factor in disseminating general in formation respecting the naturn! re sources, the peculiar commercial activi ties, the varying occupations, the in dustries and the latent capbilities ol the countries of the Western hemis phere." President McKinley made a formal response, expressing his interest in the work of the bureau and the hope that the publication would lead to a closer commercial relation between the repub lics of America. With the volume was transmitted a letter to the president from Joseph P. Smith, director of the bureau, in which he stated the objects of the publication. It is a commercial cyclopedia of the Western hemisphere, intended to furnish information for the benefit of merchants and agriculturists. President McKinley has been congratu lated from time to time during the progress of the work, and has shown great interest in it. A WHITECAP OUTRAGE. Two Ohio Qlrla Beaten and Tarred and Feathered. Holgate, O., Nov. 15. Word reached this city this evening from Oakwood, a hamlet 25 miles south, of an outrage perpetrated last night by whitecaps upon two girls, Edith and May Rob erts, 19 and 17 years of age, respect ively. Ten days ago the young ladies received a whitecap notice warning them to leave the town and county, but they paid no attention to the no tice. Last night, they were awakened by a band of eight or ten men entering their rooms and dragging them from their beds in their night-robes to the near-by road, where they were terribly whipped with a cat-o'-nine-tails, which was found this morning. After beat ing them, they gave the girls a coat of tar and feathers and took them back to the house, where they were found un conscious this morning. May, the younger of the girls, is in a critical condition, the flesh being cut to the bone by the whip. There is no olew to the perpetrators. Ladue Robbed of Klondike Gold. ' Chicago, Nov. 15. Joseph Lad tie, who struck it rich In the Klondike, was robbed of $700 worth of nuggets in the depot of the Lake Shore railroad today. The thief managed to secure the gold while Ladue was walking from hir train to the depot door. thanksgiving; Proclamation Issued at Olympla. Olympia, Nov. 12. Governor Rogers ioday issued the following proclama tion: "The people of Washington inhabit a region favored of God. Here has been made a wonderful provision for the sustenance and pleasure of man. Nowhere can be found so wide a diver lity of natural opportunities; forest and shore, mountain and plain, maritime privileges elsewhere unequaled; vast forests; inexhaustible mines, fertile fields, a mild and equable climate, beautiful mountains and smiling sea here await in all their loveliness our wish and pleasure. "'Westward the course of empire has taken its way.' " 'Time's noblest offspring is its last.' "Added to these natural opportun ities and vast increasing values special and peculiar blessings have been be stowed upon us. The seasons have been propitious, health is unimpaired, our crops are the wonder of the world, our mines most productive, and the at tention of our countrymen has been attracted to this state as the one, above all others, most favored of God; and, with all this, and more, "Peace like a river wide and free o'erspreads the land.' "That we have been given these marks of divine favor is well calculated to inspire us with thanktulness and to cause us to employ that aid which alone can enable us to perform the im portant duties devolving upon us, for the very ends of the earth are come down to us, and destiny has manifestly given into our charge weighty and sol emn matters of high emprise. "The recent discoveries of gold in our own state and in the extreme Northwest will, without doubt, in the near future very largely increase our population and our wealth. Pray God we prove worthy actors in the drama of the future. "Now, therefore, in conformity with time-honored and long-established usage, I, John R. Rogers, governor of the state of Washington, do hereby ap point Thursday, November 25, 1897, as a day of public thanksgiving, to be observed with appropriate services by all. "Let us in our homes and in our places of worship render thanks to God for his abundant mercies. "In testimony whereof I have here unto set my band and caused to be affixed the great official seal of the state of Washington. "Done at Olympia this 12th day of November, in the year our of Lord, eighteen hundred and ninety-seven, and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and twenty saventh. God save the republic. JOHN R. ROGERS. "By the governor: "W. D. Jenkins, secretary of state." THE SUBPORT OF DYEA. Ian Francisco Merchants Ask That It Bo Closed. San Francisco, Nov. 12. At a meet ing of merchants and manufacturers in terested in securing the Alaskan trade for this city, Captain Goodall, a mem ber of the firm in which United States Senator Perkins is interested, stated that while supplies may be purchased just as cheaply in this country as in Canada, the purchaser will be obliged to pay a duty of 20 per cent to carry them through the British possessions. On the other hand, the opening of Dyea and Skaguay as subports of entry will allow him to purchase them in Victoria and oarry them on to the mines duty free. He declared that the establishment of Dyea as a support of entry was an injustice to the interests of the citizens of the United States, and had been granted at the request of the Canadian Paciflo railroad. It was ordered that the joint com mittee of the chamber of commerce, board of trade and Merchants' Associa tion be instructed to draft resolutions calling on the proper authorities to close the snbport of entry at Dyea and to co-operate with all the cities of the Paciflo coast to that end. OUT FROM DAWSON. C. C. Burns Says the Klondiker Ire Still Waiting for the Boats. Seattle, Nov. 13. The steamer Homer arrived here this afternoon from Juneau. Among her passengers was C. C. Burns, who left Dawson City, September 23. Burns poled up the Yukon and came out over the Chilkoot trail. He stated that when he left Dawson no one had started down the Yukon for provisions. The people were daily expecting boats from St. Michaels. They thought that the boats were delayed by accident, and knew nothing of their inability to ascend the river. Burns said there would be no starvation at Dawson this winter, though rations would be limited with some. According to Burns, the only new gold discoveries made this year were on Sulphur creek, and that field was not proving so rich as Eldorado or Bonanza creeks. Bums brought down with him about $6,000 in nuggets and dust, the result of two years' work. the Northwest. EVIDENCE OF STEADY GROWTH Hews Gathered In All the Towns of Oar neighboring States Improve sent ia All Industries Oregon. Umatilla county recently bought a reversible road grader, and this county now has four road machines. The population of Lostine, Wallowa county, is bow estimated at 175. Three months ago only 40 people were living there. A farmer of Tangent bas nearly ready for trial a steam plow that ha has invented, and which he thinks will plow 15 acres of ground in day. A Curry county man soon expects to begin manufacturing barrels in which to pack fish. A number of such barrels are psed on the Coquille, and some on Sixes and Elk rivers. George H. Tolbert, who is in charge of the Rogue river salmon hatchery station, says that 1,679,800 eggs have been taken. Some of the eggs now taken are hatching. The cannery at Kernville near the mouth of the Siletz river, in Lincoln county, did a good business for the season just closed. It is reported that it canned about 10,000 cases of salmon. Track laying on the Astoria & Co lumbia Rivei railway was completed to Aldricb point Monday night. The track-laying machine has been side tracked at Knappa, and the work is now being done by hand. Fish have been plentiful on the streams of Curry county this fall. One fisherman caught 250 big salmon in the Sixes in one night. Flora creek, Sixes and Elk rivers, Rogue river and the Chetco are all good salmon streams. An Oalkand, Cal., man estimates that the amount of apples contracted for in Coos county this season, includ ing those already shipped, figures up to 30,000 boxes, and several thousand mote boxes are being held for higher prices. Baker City is the only city in Eastern Oregon with a gas plant. There is also an electric light plant. Three new re torts have been added to the gas plant, and half a mile of additional main pipes have been laid since September 15 last. The cannery in Marsh field shutdown last week. The pack for the season amounts to 8,500 cases, of which about T,000 cases are chinook. Some of the salteries are still running, and the fish ermen will probably continue opera tions until the middle of the month. A thoroughbred trotter just 40 inches high and weighing 900 pounds was brought into The Dalles recently. The animal is well built, and perfectly formed in hodv. but bis leffs arn con siderably shorter than those of a normal horse. He was raised in the Willam ette valley. The horse cannery at Linnton is fur nishing a market for considerable num ber of cayuses from Eastern Oregon and Washington, and will in time relieve the ranges of a large number of useless stock. One day last week 16 cal roads passed through The Dalles on the way to Linnton. They were a lot of ponies from the Warm Springs reservation. Washington. About $750,000 will be paid out for wheat at Tekoa this year. A new brewery in Colfax will beign operations this week. The proprietors of the Tekoa mills have 30,000 bushels of wheat now in store and are running on full time. They are shipping large quantities of flour to China and Japan and their ex port trade is increasing rapidly. One hundred and seventy-five Chi nese arrived at Tacoma on the steamer Utopia last week, en route from the Blaine salmon canneries for Portland. After landing they and their baggage were inspected by Chinese Inspector Jossey, and then put aboard cars and dispatched to the metropolis. A California mining man has discov ered what he considers a good lead on the Elwha river, 15 miles from the mouth, in Clallam county. The ore developed $3.88 in gold and 17 cents in silver. The Selby Smelting Com pany, of Sau Francisco, offered to take 1,000 tons of the ore at the assay valu ation. The receipts at the Evorett custom house for last month were $10,268.21, which was all paid in silver, making a little over a half a ton for Captain L. H. Coon to handle during the first month he has been in charge of the office. This is the largest month's busi ness that has ever been done in the history of the office. A proposition to establish, in Seat tle, a plant for the manufacture of oans, has been laid before the chamber of commerce by Irving Ayres, treasur er of the Pacific sheet metal works, of San Francisco. He is investigating the probable advantages of such a plant, and on his report to the directors of the company, of whom he is one, will depend the inauguration of the eu terprise. A Resume of Events in
