There is much sympathy at Spokane for Mr. Cannon, whose banking house has just failed. The assets will cover all liabilities. The Bradetreet agency reports eigh teen failures in the Pacific Coast States and Territories for the past week, as compared with fourteen fur the previous week and ten for the corresponding -week of 1892.- A large draft of seamen from the Mare Inland naval rendezvous will be sent to Honolulu by the next steamer to reinforce the crews of the United Stattv ship Adams and the cruiser Bos ton, now there. The Federated Trades at Los Angeles failed to make out a case for deportation in the Ah Yung arrest, owing to the fact that the District Attorney did not show that the Chinaman was unregiistt'red. The Trades are determined that a cawe shall be properly brought before the courts. Parlies who crossed the Cascades at the head of Kogne river recently lenort the snow still from six to eight feet j deep. ThiB will make summer travel to Crater Lake very iate this year. Teams should be running within a month, however. (lovernor Richards of Montana has issued a proclamation prohibiting the importation of sheep into Montana from Oregon, California, Nevada, Washing ton, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Colorado or New Mexico, except npon the ceniti cate of the State Veterinarian that the mieep nave ueen inspecieu anu loona i tree 01 any lniecuous or contagious disease. Worms have again appeared in the vineyards west of Fresno, Cat., by mil lions, and in several localities people are lighting them with reiays of Chinese, who work night and day. The worms work night, and in some places several aiTes bave been stripped of leaves in a few honrs as if a band of sheep bad gone through the vineyards. It is thought the pest will be cleaned out. The McKinney will case at Stockton, Cal has been stopped. A motion for a nonsuit was agreed to by the contestant, a colored woman, who swore she married McKinney in 1878, when the records would prove that she had married a man named Nicholas in 1879. There was every evidence of conspiring to obtain the McKinney money, and it is possible a conspiracy case may be formed. " Penitentiary convicts are now making about 4G,0OU brick a day. The fcalcni (talesman says: "It is a pity they could not make enough for the soldiers' home, the branch asylum and all other prospective buildings now, before the starting of the proposed jute mill, so as to keep the idle convicts employed. They aim to make 3,000.0(10 this season, to be used in public buildings and ad ditions provided for by the last Legis lature. The cases against the trapmen of the Columbia river have for the second tint in two years fallen to the ground, and Hon. C. W. Fulton and his brother won two cases recently for the defense, one after the other. ' The Prosecuting At torney declared he would never again bring a charge against a trapman or a gill-net fisherman. He declared it utterly useless to try to secure a con viction, and stated that it would never be possible for the State to win a case of the kind when the lawyers so mixed the jury up with the jurisdiction question that they were unable to agree on any thing. Mr. Fulton produced certificates held by both defendants, and argued that the laws of Congress giving Oregon jurisdiction in civil and criminal cases to the Washington shore of the Colum bia only applied to tiie service of pro cesses and to crimes committed on a floating boat or other craft and not to anvthing fixed into the bed of the river on the Washington side. He claimed in addition that, if a Clatsop county jury pronounced jurisdiction over Washing ton tisiitraps, the Btate of Washington could with just as much reason levy dues on and control the Union Pacific wliarves that run out toward the middle channel from Astoria. Judge Cleveland, being powerless to instruct the juries on the question of law, was barred from in structing either jury, and the Faltons secured acquittal for every one of tneir clients. The question unfortunatenr is no nearer settlement than ever, "the Hlientf of the county and all his dep uties are denouncing Fish Commissioner Crawford of Washington for what they claim is flagrant dereliction of duty in iavur of the trapuwnen. t'UOJf WASHINGTON CITY. Secretary Carlisle has appointed Worthington Ford of Itrookirn. N. Y., chief of the bureau of statistics in the Treasury iHtnartmeni. During the last Cleveland administration Ford served a chief of the bnreau of statistics of the Department of State. Mr. Ford is worth nearly $1,000,000. The Star says that President Cleve land has told members of Congress that under no circumstances would there be an issue of bonds unless especiallv au thorial by Congress. The administra tion, he said, was not responsible for the present financial situation, and it lavs with Congress and not the administra tion to nnd a remedy for it. The experts employed under the di rection of the Congressional Committee authorized to investigate the methods of conducting business in the executive de partments began work last week. Thev will first take up the business method's of the Treasury. It will take perhaps two years to finish the work. The officials of the War Department protein mat tue recent increase of the military force at Chicago has nothing to do with the closing of the World's Fair, but notwithstanding this denial there is reason to believe trouble is anticipated if an attempt is made to carry out the constnfetion of the law given by the United States Courts. Plans are being made by Secretary noae nnutu tor an extensive summer tour through the West. These plans are not fully developed, and the time of his departure is therefore unknown. He will, however, visit noints in Indian Territory and then proceed to California. returning ot tue route ot the Northern Pacific railroad. Mrs. Smith has decided to accompany him on his travels. Every once in awhile the rumor is started that Justice Field contemplates resigning from the Supreme Bench. As often as this story is started it is denied bv tllfi JllStien bimwlf I'inlil wan n.it a Cleveland man, because Cleveland re- lusea to appoint mm Chief Justice. He was so angry at that time that he might have resigned to Bpite Cleveland, but he is over his mad and now thinks that some other Democrat may appoint his successor. At any rate he is going to try it. If Harrison had been re-elected, he might have retired, because it would have meant the selection of a Republican as his successor, unless he waited for an other election. Secretary Gresham has received infor mation from Minister Illouut that war rant the conclusion that he is prepared to inuorse an mat nas oeen (lone in Ha waii, and that he is now strongly in clined to recommend at least the estab lishment of a United States protectorate over the Hawaiian Islands. The Secre tary is also in official ignorance of the reported interference of Claus Spreckels in behalf of the restoration of monarchy and of his insistence upon the repayment by the provisional government of monev advanced by him to the late monarchy. The Secretary is, of course, in receipt of information from Blount that he does not feel justified in publishing, but he feels no hesitation in denying the accu racy of the above report. During the first three months of the present administration ended June 3 the total number of fourth-class postmasters appointed was 6,5)17, of which 4.072 were to till vacancies caused by resignations and deaih and 1,808 by removals. Dur ing the corresponding period of the pre vious administration the total number appointed was 8.2"J6, or 1,680 more than were appointed dming the last three! months. Of these 2,069 were to fill va cancies caused by resignations and death and 5,507 by removals. The number of appointments made on resignations was 2.015 greater during the first quarter of the administration than during the last, and the number made on removals was 3,502 less during Cleveland's flret quarter than during Harrison's. CHICAGO EXPOSITION. The ax Gladstone has been using at Hawnrden is to be on exhibition at the World's Fair. Florida, somewhat late it would seem, is appropriating $25,000 for State use at the World's Fair on condition that the railroads give a like sum. The foreign commissioners at the World's Fair propose to have an inde pendent board of jurors and to issue di plomas on their own account. The World's Fair managers have fig ured expenses down to $20,000 a day, whereas the daily average revenue from admissions and concessions is about i-'lu,-000. A majoritv of the United States Cir cuit Court has decided the World's Fair must close Sundays. Judges Wood and Jenkins ordered that an injunction lie issued restraining the officials from open ing the gates of the fair grounds. Judge (iroeseup dissented, recommending that the injunction applied for by the United States District Attorney be not granted. The decision of Judges Wood and Jen kins, though reaching the same point in thoend, take this action on widely diverg ing grounds, and dissenting opinion dif fers radically from loth. The court rooms were crowded when the decision was read. Judge Wood read his own opinion, in which he concluded that Jackson Park was lawfully devoted for exposition purposes, and that the expo sition had been in fact turned over to the control of the Federal government by the local corporation, and that its control was therefore as absolute as its control of the Federal building. He held that the Sundav-closing rule, hav ing once been passed by the local direc tory and approved by the National Com- miiuiirn fjtrmiw twit mmM tw, nliaiina it. Regarding the case before Judge! Stein of the State court he held it was i no bar to the proceedings, because it is j inadmissible to say that the government must in comity yield to a State court. EASTERN MELANGE.

Hecalls upon the Presbyterians to resist the encroach ments upon their rights by the Genera! Assembly. The reduction of freight rates from New Orleans to the Pacific Coast points has given an impetus to the rice trade, Louisiana merchants being able to com pete in prices with China and Japan and furnish a far superior article. Rough rice is beinir utilized for flour purposes at home, and is cheaper and mora nu- j tntivs tbaa oats. BUSINESS BREVITIES. j Wood pulp is rapidly bwoining one of( the most universally iised of miuiufuct-1 ured articles.
