5ood Iiver Slacier. HOOD RlVER. OR., JULY 21, 1804. The tariff bill, which paused the sen ate July 4th, by a strict party vote, ex- ' cept Hill, 84 to 39, is now in conference -committee, with no immediate pros- , peets of an agreement. After the passage of the tariff bill by the senate there was niuch enthu siasm and congratulations among the senators. Even republicans were smil ingly glad that the contest was' oxer mid congratulated their democratic friends. One man herded alone; and that was Hill. Not a democrat spoke to him; even the republicans forsook hiin tmd the populists ignored him. He is called by senators the Benedict Arnold of his party. ' As an advertising medium the Gla cier presents advantages that should not be overlooked by those wishing to -atcb the eye of the public. Every body in the community reads the pa per; its pages are small, and no matter Low diminutive the item or advertise ment, it is seen and read. ; If you have .anything to sell, in tbe shape of a farm or wagon, a horse or cow, or wish 1o purchase anything, a little ad. iu the Glacier will help you, and the sost will not be much. . V At the bicycle races at San Jose.June :28th, James Crdway showed what teuld be done with a bicycle. Though the track was like afresh-plowed Held, lie waltzed his wheel all over it, rode upright, sideways and upside down. He made his machine reur tip and started it along on the hind wheel; he rode it backwards; then he stood the machine on its seat and handle bars and did a treadmill-act on the pedals with both wheels in the air; be rode down a step-ladder and then balanced the ladder oyer a high sawhorse and xode his wheel up one side and down the other. The European low rates inaugurated by the leading steamship lines is caus ing an exodus from Chicago aud other points in the northwest of many for eigners connected with the strike. There is much food for thought In the depletion of the standing army of un employed in this country by return of 'workers to their homes abroad. It is predicted that before long labor will be at a premium instead of a discount,and .some people figure on a season of pros- perity as a consequeuce of the return to Europe of thousands who have been in the past six months unsuccessful in In obtaining employment. ...... . The overwhelming majority in favor of the income tax when it passed the :euate, but demonstrates the popularity of that measure. Of those who voted in favor of the income tax, 31 were democrats, 6 republicans" and 3 pop ulists. The republicans voting for the income tax were Mitchell of Oregon, Hansbrough, Pettigrew, Power, Shoup and Teller. The three populists, Kyle, Allen and Peffer, also voted for it. Of the 23 senators who voted against it, 20 "were republicans and 3 democrats. The latter were Hill, Murphy and Smith. As the house is overwhelmingly in favor of the income tax, there is no longer a doubt that it will become a Jaw. A report on immigration issued by the bureau of statistics, treasury de partment, shows that during 11 months of the fiscal year ended May 31 the to tal number of immigrants arriving in the United States was 238,020 as against . 430,210 for a corresponding period of last vear. The greatest decrease was from Poland, the number being only 1,379 against 13,046 during tbe first 11 months of 1803. The number from Italy decreased from 62,227 to '40,338. The rate of decrease from . ull other countries is approximately the same. During the 10 mouths ended April 30, 1894, the whole number of immigrants barred from entering the Bnited States was 2,102, of which 1,426 were contract laborers aud 652 paupers. Of the whole number 1,940 were men, 83 women and 70 childreu. ALL SOKTS.

Buskirk at once usked who it was, and on being told, said "I thought so." We called Mr. Biggs over and introduced them, Mr. Biggs at once recognizing Mr. Buskirk as an old friend back in Missouri. At that time Mr. Biggs was captain of a Mississippi river steamer, and though they had not met for thirty years Mr. Buskirk recognized him instantly. ' A dispatch from St. Petersburg says the cholera epidemic is assuming alarm ing proportions. The present visita tion is of a more intense and fatal char acter than Was the outbreak of the two previous years. The disease has even penetrated . into Finland, which has hitherto been free from cholera. A severe tornado and thunder storm passed over Needy, in Clackamas coun ty, Saturday last, accompanied by heavy rain. Trees were blown down, and heavy hail accompanied the storm, doing much damage, several buildings were unroofed. The storm was one mile wide and two long. C. J.

John C. Arnold of Pendleton has been appointed surveyer : general of Oregon. - ; Mriko News. Portland, Or., July 17. The Pullman boycott and strike is over in this city, and through passenger aud freight ser vice has been, fully resumed on two of the great "railroads terminating here. The only obstacle in the way on the Southern Pacific is the break at Mott's station, Cal., where a trestle was burned, and that is being patched up as rapidly as possible. Before the end of the week it.' is anticipated that all trains, both freight and passenger, will be running on all lines on schedule time. The situation last night was brighter than it has been since the trouble first commenced here, eighteen days ago, and oillcials are confideut that traffic hereafter will not be inter rupted. Tbe striking engineers and firemen of the Northern Pacific agreed to re turn to work at a conference with of ficials Sunday night, but when it came to taking an oath required by the re ceivers of the road some of them re belled. For this reason their action was kept quiet aud the officials have nothing to say in regard to the matter. Judging from the preparations made by the company lust night to move through freight at once, it is fair to presume that the matter was satisfac torily settled. ' This action on the part of the Northern Pacific strikers is not altogether, local. The stampede com menced at St. Paul three days ago and traveled westward with surprising speed. . . It was learned at the general freight offices of the Northern Pacific yester day that, commencing today, freight wilt be received here, for all points on the road, clear through to St. Paul. Agents at all points between Seattle and Pasco are instructed to receive all kinds of freight. ... Through freight service was resumed on the O. R. & N. yesterday morning, but only light freight will be received until the damage wrought by the flood is repaired between Cascade Locks and The Dalles. " ( 'Longshoreman Teesdale, leader of the local strike, said last night: "The strikers stand firm. Some of the few me who went to work this morning quitT again at noon, because their tellow strikers did not follow their example. There has been no coercion on the part of those men who have stood firm throughout. We are in this strike to win it, and will win it. . The-'longshoremen are as solid today as at any time since they went out. We had a very reassuring telegram from Tacoma. We held three of the largest and most enthusiastic meetings today that we have had at any time during the strike." . Tacoma, July 16. A Northern Pa cific train from the East was fired upoii this afternoon near Cle-Elum. Twenty deputies, many of whom were return ing from the eastern part of the state, left the train as soon as it stopped and chased the culprits. A log train was also fired on near Puylallup this even ing by a man on horseback, who fled as soon as two deputies gave chase on foot. Many of the railroad employes who yesterday made application to be reinstated today reported for duty and took the receiver's oath. The officials say that nine-tenths of the old engi neers are ready for work, and that there are more applications than places in all the departments. All passenger trains are running, and the sale of tickets to eastern points was resumed today. Missoula, 'Mont., July 17. An east bound Northern Pacific train, the first in 16 days, was wrecked today at a point about two miles east of here by a j dynamite cartridge concealed in the track. The engine had barely struck i the spot when a terrific explosion was 1 heard, the shock shattering the pilot i and right cylinder and piston rod, - It also broke the windows of the cab and i mail car. Some eight coaches consti- tuted the train, which was loaded with troops and passengers." Strikers de' uounce the act in unmeasured terms. There is considerable feeling over the return to work of some engineers aud conductors, and it Is believed ithat someone in sympathy with the strik ers adopted this method of deterring further progress. , Spring Valley,' III., July 7. Two stores were thoroughly looted here to-day, and a dozen others compelled to give up part of their merchandise to a mob of 2000 striking coal miners. The depredations of the mob com menced at noon, when the meat market of 8. M. Horner was taken possession of and thoroughly raided. Not only the fresh meat, but the lard, hams and everything pertaining to the shop, including the butcher tools, were carried away. No resistance was made by the proprietor! as that was considered not only useless, but as en dangering the destruction of the entire building. ' The mob was made up wholly of non English speaking men, the leaders be ing Belgians. Poles aud Italians. When the supply of plunder' at Hor ner's gave out the strikers organized into a band of about 1,000, and inarching along the streets compelled firms to turn over liberal supplies of their goods. A raid was then made on the saloons, and each one visited was compelled to contribuate a keg af beer. By 3 o'clock six kegs had been gathered and were opened on the street corners aud made free to all comers. The immediate cause of the resort to violence was the refusal of Supervisor James B. Nelson of this city to issue further orders on the county for' provi-' sions. During the last sixty days these orders aggregated over 14,000". This amount was about sufficient to furnish food for the men while in idleness, and the latter demanded that the plan be continued indefinitely. The County Board had unofficially decided to put a stop to the issuing of orders, and had so instructed Supervisor Nelson Singnlar Facts About Birds ' The passenger pigeon lays but one egg at a sitting. These pigeons assem ble in greater multitudes than any other fowl, unless the congregation 'of the quail, on wnich the childreu of Is rael feasted, be an exception. . ' . The ruby-throated bumming bird lays but two eggs at a sitting.'und has a habit of oscillating like a pendulum, describing a semi-circle in rapid sue-' cession. The pied-billed dobchick pos sesses the wonderful power of sinking in the water, out of sight, and without diving. The turkey buzzard can travel against the wind while "on the wing," without any movement of the latter. The march hawk the male) turns a somersault backwards while on the wing. This is done, seemingly, to please the female, who no doubt ad mires acrobatic exhibitions. ' The American dipper , walks on the bottom of rapidly-flotving mountain streams, being entirely submerged and holding themselves down by a pulling movement of their 'wings, which are kept constantly in motion, while they remain on the bottom of the stream In search of food. , , The woodcock rises spirally to a great hight in the air, then dashes headlong to the spot he ascended from to repeat the same performance. The sharp tailed grouse assemble in small groups and run in circles, passing each other in opposite directions. The cow-buot-ing is polygamous; does not build a nest,does not rear its own offspring, but lays its eggs in other birds' nests, by whom they are hatched and fed; only one egg being committed to their care. The European cuckoo has similar hab its to our cow-bunting. We have two species of cuckoo, but they rear their offspring. ,'Edqar W. Winans. Willamette Valley Chautauqua Society.

At the hour he left the Inn, 6 a. m., a lively thunder storm was raging and the weather of course was not very promising for the work of the Mazamas in climbing the mountain. The Inn was full to over flowing witli guests from Portland, The Dalles and Hood River, many of them there for tbe purpose of climbing the mountain Thursday; among the latter seven or eight ladles. Mr. Hanna and family were quartered in one of the neat little cabins close by the Inn. Wrill Langille arrived there Monday!
