On a charge of criminal libel at Port

leged libel consisted in an article pub
lished prior to the city election last June,
charging a numb r of persons with levy
ing assessments on gambling homes and
the inmates of the houses of ill repute
to be used in carrying the election lor
the Republican ticket. Judge Shatturk
instructed the jury that the levying of
of assessments to be used in a political

therefore, no libel had been committed.

FROM WASHINGTON CITY.
The New Nicaragua Canal Bill lin.rcases
the Obligations of the Canal
Company lite.
There is to m an organized eflort In
tho HoiiMi alter the h'didayi to bring
about some IIiihucuI legislation, prot
ably taking the rhape of an nt. empt to
repeal the Sherman law. The expo
nents of free coinage believe this daily
menacing of the fecurities o! the gov
ernment is inevitably leading to gigan
tic! losic'Hs On the o her hand, the
friends of silver are not lesi active, and
expect to see a free-coinage bill forging
to tint front before niiiny daysof the new
year have passed. Stewart'b amen Irnent
to the bill of Hill provid -s lor a r"p al
of the Sherman a t, and makes that
measure practically a free coinage bill.
Stewart thinks that wh';n it comes to a
vote it will pas.
Representatives Hermann of Oregon
and Wilson of Washington wero greatly
disappointed at the failure of the bill in
Congress lor the increase of trie l;gh
home service in the United States, in
which l!h Washington and Oregon were
largely inten-McI. In the bill was
prov sion lor twenty-five beacon lights
and buoys on the Willamette river bs
tween Portland and Salem ; also lor a
light and fog signal at the, mouth of the
V illamette, as weil as lights for othr
places on the Oregon and Washington
coasts. There were other bills reported
irom wie same committee which were
sidetracked by the failure of this bill
among them being a bill allowing the
Great Northern Railway Company to
build a bridge acrons the Columbia river,
Mr.Fo-ter said rec ently that he thought
it a grave mistake to asu:ne that the
Monetary Conference will prove to be I
failure. The taking of a recess was ex
peeled by the administration w hen the
American delegates left Washington
Oily. Rothchild's proposition and his
declaration that unless Homc-t'iing is done
to insure the better ne of silver among
the nations serious consequences would
follow is in itself a hopeiul indication
that the prominent bankers of the world
feel the necessity of reaching an agree
ment of mich a nature as will secure ap
proximate nniiormity the world over m
dealing with the question. The Secre
tary paid that so far as be was personally
concerned all he expected of the preliminary-conference
had been accomplished.
The general feeling of the conference
whs even more favorable than he antic
ipated. One of thoe peculiar biils whio'a oc
casionally finds its way into Congress
was introduced the other day by Sen
tor Mitchell in the Senate, he elaborate
title provides for the prohibition of electro-magnetism,
mesmerism and hypno
tizing of human lieings, etc . an i pre
scribing a punishment. Nainerous pe
titions and documents accompanying the
Dill anil others equally voluminous are
referred to. The bill in brief provides
that any person who anyweere within
the jurisdiction of the United States
3hall apply a current of electricity upon
a person lor the purpose of affecting an
other, or which does so affect, bIihII be
guilty of a crime punishable by death,
and that any person having the' knowl
edge of such current having been applied
wno mils to noiny the proper authorities
shall he deemed an accessory and pun
ished by a fine of not less than $o,00J
nor more than f zu.uot), or bv punishment
ranging from two years to the period of
one a natural me.
Senator Sherman has introduced
bill, which was referred to the Foreign
Relations Commit'ee, providing that
whenever the government of the United
States shall conclude effective interna
tional arrangements lor the protection
of fur seals in the North aeitic Ocean
by agreement with anv power, or as a
result of the convention concluded last
tebruary between the United States and
Great Britain (the Behring Sea Conven
tion), and as long as such arrangements
Bhall continue, the provisions of the
laws, so far as they bIhII be applicable.
relative to the protection of lur seals
within the limits of Alaska or its waters
shall tie extended to and over that, por
tion of tho ocean included in such agree
ment. The bill further provides that
whenever an effective arrangement is
concluded the President shall declare
the fact by proclamation and designate
the portion oi tne facine Ocean to which
it is to be applicable. During the exist
ence of the laws all violations of them
in the designated portions of the Pacific
are to be held to be the same as if com
mitted within Alaska limits, and they
may be prosecuted either in Alaska or
in the courts of Oregon, California or
Washington.
The new Nicaragua canal bill reported
by Sonator Sherman is drawn on sub
stantially the same lines as the bill re
ported from the committee to the last
Congress, including as it doe9 the prop
osition to guarantee the bonds of the
company to the extent of $100,000,000 to
aid in the construction of the canal.
The new bill, however, contains some
additions, which increase the obligations
of the company as well as the security
of the government. For instance, the
real and personal propeity and the fran
chises of the company are included in
the liabilities. It is provided that all
stock heretofore eub?cribed for or issued
shall be called in and canceled ; all bonds
issued redeemed and canceled, and all
outstanding obligations satisfied before
the art takes effect. The date is changed
to make the bonds issue in January, 1893,
and mature in liiu3; but they are aiso
made redeemal 1 at the pleasure of the
United States after 1913. The section
requiring the company to execute a mort
gage to the United States as security for
the guarantee is amended by the addi
tion of a clause requiring the mortgage
to contain a provision for a sinking fund
for the payment of the bonds at matu
rity. If the company defaults in the
pavnient of interest or other respects
before the canal is put in operation, the
right of foreclosure shall at once attach

FOR THE WORLD'S FAIR.
A .Mammoth Trra from California to B
Kxliihltml.
California is to be honored by having a
lection ot one) of her famous big trees uiada
a prominent feature In the Government
building at the Columbian exhibition at
Chicago. The project, the accomplishment
lit which Is fully assured, is a unique one.
Tin: section of the tree will be twenty-three
feet in diameter and thirty feet long. This
will be divided into three parts, and these
will be placed in their natural position,
Hie above the other, and so arranged as to
form something like a two story honse.
The criiitruet for the tree was made by H.
A. Taylor, of the department of the in
terior, with the King's River Lumber com
pany in the sprint of this year, and the
company j now ltJ worf getting it out in
their forest of sequoia KHjantea in the
Converse basin on King's river in Fresno
county.
The contract called for a tree 20 feet fl
Inches in diameter, but the tree actually
found will be three feet greater in diameter.
There are of course larger trees in th
forest, but the requirement was that this
fcection should be perfect in all respects,
cylindrical, straiht and without a burn
in the bark, and this was the largest found
to fill alt these conditions. The tree select
ed, says the San Francisco Chronicle, ia
one known as the "General Noble." It
measures thirty-eight feet in diameter near
the ground, but as the object was to have
the section of the same diameter at both
ends, as nearly as possible, a piece is being
taken out of the tree at some distance from
the ground. To do this and to preserve
the section from harm by falling, as well
as to meet other requirements, has proved
to be a work of considerable magnitude;.
The idcta is not to send a solid section, bnt.
rather, the rim of the tree hollowed out
and cut into segments of suitable size, and
all to be numbered so that they can be
erected at Chicago so as to look from the
exterior like the solid section of a sequoia
thirty feet in height. The three parts into
which the section is being cut consist of
two parts of fourteen feet each, to be hol
lowed out, and one two feet thick, which
will serve as a floor between the two stories,
as it were.
The work of cutting, lowering and box
ing the segments is Wing pushed forward
as rapidly as possible, and it is expected
that the tree will all be shipped by the end
of October. To get the tree to a point
where wagons can reach it required the
building of a road two miles long. The en
tire exhibit, including the work, will cost
the government several thousand dollars.
The tree when erected at Chicago will stand
directly under the izreat dome of the Gov
ernment building.
Religious Differences.
In the greater concerns of life there
are wonderful illustrations of the con
flicts of opinions. There are something
over 1,200,000,000 of human beings in
the world. Among these are six va
rieties of religious belief; three of these
are said by one class td be false, and by
others three are said to he the true re
ligion. And yet every religionist, every
sectarian claims that he and she alone
are right. What our Chinese neighbors
say is "true" we say is "false." We call
them "heathens" they class us as "out

What we English; speaking people
think is the right and the true religion
is in a startling minority in human be
lief or religious creed for there are
only some 330,000,000 Christians in all
the world. There are some 6.003,000
Jews, and they have clung with singular
persistency in all ages to their religious
belief; it is seldom a Jew renounces his
faith; it is more seldom that a Chris
tian embraces Judaism. There are
more than 400,000,000 people who are
pagans and Mohammedans. Detroit

The niadeup fiat or puff scarf, if worn
without a scarfpin, discloses its arti
