" It looks as if theold flagship Peneacula will soon be hauled into the wharf at Mare Island and wark commenced on her to make her ready for nee as a train- ingship for the naval reserve. Mr. Had lev, the new receiver of the Oregon Pacific railroad, is liable to give toe srechoidere a shoes: ot neart disease, lie is absolutely making the road pay expenses, something unknown for years. Interested parties have examined the cement rock found in quantities near Panta Crux, and the result of the tent has been announced. It is that the rock is capable of producing the best of Port- tana cement. It has been discovered at T'niatilla that under a new process Columbia river sand will pan out ft per day in gold. The sand is obtained twelve miles east of Umatilla. Capitalists are investigat ing the matter. The ease of the State of Oregon against ham Hams for keeninc his saloon open tvunoay was tried before Justice Cleve land at Astoria, the jury returning a ver dict of not guilty.

' Captain Edward Bailey, Company C, Fourth Infantry, stationed at Boise, Idaho, has been placed under arrest by Major Kennedy, commandant of the post, on the charge of drunkenness and gambling with the men of his command in we resorts 01 sue city. , The new placer field at Borax Lake, 150 miles bum ban Bernardino, is at tracting prospectors and miners. Dry -washers are used, nroducmirtoeachman from 110 to '& per day. The placer field is large and practically unexplored, and rich finds are anticipated. John Bangborg entered one of the big revolving drams used in connection with roasting concentrates at the Boston and Montana smelter at Great Falls, Mont., to do some work. He never came out. and H is supposed he fell down a fine to the furnace. If so, his body waseom- iteKsly consumed in short time. A antern let down in the floe was melted immediately. ' Judge Watson of Coos county makes the announcement that it will be impos sible for the County Court todoanytbing on bridges or roads this year, since the orjnnty cannot contract legally more than ff,0U0 indebtedness, and it now owes (7, WO. He also states that supervisors w ilt be obliged to work the roads this year under the old law, aa the court has been unable to get a copy of the new law. The Leeielatore of Arirona has passed a concurrent rasutalion requesting the J-reuMant of the United Stales to open friendly negotiations with the Bepublic of Mesieo looting tosuch a readjustment of the international boundary as will give .uMia aaaf and comnioOions har bor nt-ar tne head ol t-ie Ousf of Califor nia aod wctire to trie eitiatns of the Ijisit rsrt!'

They claimed to be political offenders only, and as such Minister Egan gave them a refuge. The Chilian government demanded their sur render as common criminals, and asked that Egan be instructed to deliver them to the local authorities. This demand has not been i complied with by the United States. The paragraph in the navy regulations recently issued, prohibiting naval offi cers from acting as correspondents of the newspapers, is said to have had its ori gin in the bite Chilian war. During the struggle, the storv toes, two naval offi cers stationed at Valparaiso were in the pay of certain New York newspapers, to which they wired frequent inside news in cipher of the movements of the forces engaged. It frequently happened that Bauuaceda on the one side or the Dtovi- sional troops on the other were thus made aware ol the movements of the other. The, news was wired from Sew i ark bv their friends. These movements they could not otherwise have known. The provisional forces subsequently com plained of this to our government, and alleged they had been seriously embar rassed thereby. Thereupon the United States expressed regret at what had passed, and rendered a repetition of the complaint impossible bv causing the in sertion of the much-talked-of paragraph in the new regulations. Secretary Morton's attention has been called to certain criticisms upon his re moval of Robert 6. Blaine from the po sition of chief of the quarantine division of the bureau of animal industry. The Secretarv said that when be touk eharae of the Department of Agriculture he found Mr. Blaine occupying a position with practically no duties to perform ana drawing a salary of Z,uuo per an num. It was one of the most evident sinecures in the department, and he could not consistently allow it to remain, even though the incumbent happened to be the brother of the late James O. Blaine. If he had been the brother of President Cleveland, the result would have been the same. The. Secretary said the only position which could be taken in the interest of economy and good government was to abolish the divi sion, which consisted of one man, and assign the clerical work con nected with the stations to the divisions of field investigations and miscellaneous work of tbe bureau of animal industry, where it had really been done during Mr. Blaine's incumbency. Extraordinarv efforts will be made to. secure adjudication upon the Chinese exclusion act by the buprente Court at this term. The matter has been the subject of correspondence between the governments ot the L nited Htates and China, and at tbe request of the State Department tbe Department of Justice has completed the necessarv prelimi naries in conjunction with the counsel ot the lihinese government and its sub jects in this country. Under the terms of the Geary law a case to determine the validity of the act cannot be begun until the 5th of next month. In ordi nary circumstances it is impossible to bring a test case before the Supreme Court of the United elates before ad journment for tbe summer recess, but by the concurrent action of all parties interested, which has been secured in view of the important international character of the questions involved, tbe standing of the law will be decided within a few weeks, thus obviating a long, tedious and expensive litigation. The arrangement entered into contem- S lutes the arrest of a Chinese laborer in ew York for a violation of the terms of the law, a prompt decision in the lower courts and an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States, which may be heard May 8. If the programme shall be carried out, the decision will be rendered by the middle of May, at which time the court expects to adjourn for the term. During the last session of Congress a measure was lobbied through granting the privilege to W. F. White and a Chi nese named Chang Pak Qnai of bringing: 1,000 Chinese to the World's Fair for tbe purpose of putting up a Chinese village. The steamer China has on board nearly 800 Chinese, who are said to be on then- way to the world's r air. The delicate question is presented to the Collector of the port of Han J-ranctsco as to who are entitled to go to Chicago and who to re main. So tar as known these Chinese have no papers to show they are a part of the Chinese village. Qnai will not ar rive on the China with the tiret install ment of Chinese. lie is expected to fol low on the Belsic with the second in stallment of about 600., Of course, every Chinaman who arrives during the next five or six months will assert that he, or she, is on the war to the exposition, and their landing will follow. In this way it is feared that bom 2,000 to 8,000 Chinese will get into San Francisco, and there will be no means of stopping them. In an interview Collector Phelps said : "I am in a quandary. I don't know what to do in the circumstances. J don't see that I have any power to exact bonds from and according to the act of Congress 1 cannot refuse them a landing. If .they nave a cemncaie snowing uiey are to oe employed aa salesmen, clerks, cooks, wallers, priests or any other CluneM oe 3juu, I must lout fesse." .

The Kew York Senate has killed the bill for the submission to a vote of the people of the question of the consolida tion of Brooklyn and New York. The World's Fair management has de- aided to maintain a Police Court in the grounds, where visitoreaccused of misde meanors can be tried without delay. It has come to light that the late Colo nel Shepard of Kew York was unable to secure a life insurance several years ago owing to a suspicion of Bright 's disease. The Kew York Assembly passed, 78 to 28, the bill abolishing cajiital punish ment, to take effect, should it become a law, on September 1, too late to save Cartyle Harris, It is estimated that (10,000,000 will be expended in new buildings in Buffalo during the year 1808. The prospect of nwu uumsiiik; mic Bjrcfc jwwerui LiHgikrw is booming Buffalo. Everybody who has a pass to get into the show at Chicago must have his pho tograph on his pass. Perhaps Secretary Carlisle can be persuaded to decide the photograph unnecessary. The Ohio State crop report says wheat has come out of the winter in excellent condition except along the southern bor der of the State. The April condition last year was 71 per cent. Kew York city has begun in earnest the work of nurifvinr its water suuulv at the source by burning fiitbydwellingB, barns, pigsties, etc, along the head waters of the Croton river. There is a strong presumption that thousands of the most undesirable class of emigrants are evading the American regulations every month by entering the united B tales ny way oi ianaua. Since work baa commenced on the World's Fair grounds in Chicago, ten men have been killed outfight, eight have died from wounds received while in in service and 610 have been injured. The French Canadians continue com ing over the bonier in great multitudes. Tnere are nearly as many of them and their descendants in this country as there are in the French Province of Quebec. It is said the amounts paid in dividends by the Carnegie Steel Company lor 1802 i reduced trom io.uuu.uou, paid the previous year, to tl ,000,000, owing to the Homestead strike and other troubles.

One of the unfortunates who suffered heavy losses by the failure of the West ern Trust Company, of which ex-Senator Ingalla was president, is E. W. Howe, the Atchison author and editor.

When Calvin Brice was a student in Miami College be was a poor boy, but a fellow of much sturdy indepenence. At that time Oxford was twelve miles from the nearest railway station, and the jour ney was usually made by tbe students in a stage. But Uie fare was high, and Mr. Brice could not afford to pay it. He gen erally walked the distance, therefore, although rich friends offered to provide him with a seat in the stage. The result was sometimes that these friends would accompany him on his tramps.
