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

not be overlooked by those wishing to
-atcb the eye of the public. Every
body in the community reads the pa

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

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.

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.
