Twenty-seven miles and

Michael the raoe of bis life. Star back

no pacemakers, but id the last twenty
minutes even at the terrific gait both
were traveling, succeeded in not only
l-at-sing his competitor as they spun
ar und the track, but had nearly caught
him at the finish, having gained over a
lap and a half. Some of the cr eiit of
hia wonderful exhibition of endurance
and ape«-d was due to Starbuck's pace
makers. who evidently tried to make
up for their early blundering, and m a

Portland, Or., S ep t 18 —The little

steamer to puss through the Cascade
locks from the Middle Colntnbia to tbe

this is ber first trip to Portland. The
construction of the mammeth 1 eke has
dragged along through so many years,
and at times seemed so far from com
pletion. that it was difficult toconvmo«
many that they ever would be com
pleted.
The trip of the Sadie B .,
though, is sufficient evidence for the
must skeptical that we have at last wa
ter communication with that vast re
gion east of tbe monntaiLS. and, w hile
it w ill be quite a w hile before regular
steamers can make use of the locks, the
trip of this small steamer has demon
strated that the open river is no longer
a dream of the distant future. The
Sadie B. is a propeller, about 85 feet
long, 14 feet beam aud 8 feet hold,
with doable engines 12x14 inches
The hull was built at Portland and
towed to the lower cascades, and from
there taken overland to the middle riv
er. Here it was launched and equipped
with engines from tbe burned steamer

Portland,Or., Sept 21.— Rumorehave
been afloat for the past day or two to
the effect that work on the Astoria-
Goble railroad was to be stopped for
the winter. There have been so many
reports in regard to this road that any
new one attracts but little attention;
but it appears on investigation that
thiB latest one, w hile not w holly cor
rect. is w ell founded
From the beat information attaina
ble, it seems quite certain that about
three-fourths of the men at work on
tbe line are to be laid off vxiay. The
three dredges, which have been work
ing night and day building the em
bankment, or grade, across the tide-
lands above Tongue poiut, w ill be kept
*t work; but w ill work in the day
time only. It was reported yesterday
that eighteen cf the camps on the road
have been abandoned, and that there
are only eleven left. This means the
ces»ation of work on the greater part
of the line on high ground. The reason
given for keeping the dredges at work
on the tideland is that it is desirable to
get the grade built there before Dext
spring, as a high flood m ight interrupt
it. The work on the high ground can
be doue at any time, and next summer
to better advantage than daring the
winter, and there need be no trouble
abont tbe road being completed by next
harvest. It is said that the reason for
stopping work is the imp-j«tibility of
securing money to carry it on, on ac-
oount of the financial situation.

London, S ep t 21.— Edward Bell,
the alleged Irish dynamiter, arrested at
Glasgow, was arraigned in the Bow-
street polioe oonrt today. He is de
scribed as Edward Bell, alias Edward
J. Ivury, an American, and a hotel
keeper at 211 Lexington avenue, New
York. Bell is accused of oonspiring
with others to cause an explosion in
the United Kingdom. He was re
manded for a week and removed to

New York, Sep t 21.—The only Ed
ward J. Ivory tn the New York city di
rectory is given as doing business in
liquors, at 2201 Lexington avenne and
2018 Eighth avenne.
Abont two
weeks ago Ivory went on a vacation,
leaving the saloon m charge of the
Lead 1 artender. He ia supposed to be
in B<:*tun. The bartender wrote him
a few days ago, and received a letter
from Ivory telling him about certain
matters concerning the saloon. A n
other Ivory kept a saloon on East One
Hundred and Eighteenth streeL Some
time ago he m ysteriously disappeared.
In spite of the statement of the bar
tender, there is good reason for tbe
statement that Bell and Ivory are one
and the same pt.r*on.

it welcome* the suggestion of the Sc.

The Chronicle

w ill find an echo in tbe United States.
Tbe Chronicle then proceeds to assert
that an American admiral was last

"These orders," says the Chronicle,
"were sub«equently withdrawn when

San Francisco, S ep t 21.— The C ali

compel Major W. B. Hooper, manager
of the Occidental hotel, to pay (300
into the association. Thia action re
calls the story of the difficulties which
grew out of the visit to this city in
April last of several hundred members
of the Hotel Men’s Mutual Benevolent
Association. To entertain the visitors
the local aaeociation raised several
thousand dollars Major Hooper sub
scribed (300. The visitors arrived and
the Occidental hotel manager waJ^
called upon to pay. He refused to do
so on the ground that he had not been
acoorded a fair share of the patronage
of the visiting hotel men. None of the
visitors went to the Occidental. At
the last quarterly m eeting Major
Hooper was expelled from the associa
tion.
