A threshing hand in Wallowa county, Or., has spent $56 trying to collect $27 due him for wages. Representative Belts is shipping 200 Oxford grade bucks from Pendleton to a . Montana purchaser. The Spokane bureau of immigration has decided to repeat the fruit fair next year, the date selected being the first week in October. A lot of nursery stock shipped from New York inftsted with woolly aphis was destroyed by State Inspector Ton neson at Winlock recently. ' Work has begun at the Cascades on the job of raising the State Portage rail road to higher ground, so as to get it out of the way of the canal work. St. Joseph's Hospital of Aberdeen has issued a neat pamphlet commemorative of two years of very successful work on the part of the Sisters of St. Dominic.

Clinton is logging opposite rVinnilln f!it,v on an extensive scale this season, employing about eighteen men and two teama. He has Bix acres of low ground completely covered with logs, waiting for high water to run them out. In the cases of the State against Potts and against Parker, charged with murder in tne second aegree, inea iasi ween in Harney county, the verdicts were guilty. ' Parker was sentenced to seven and one half years and Potts to twelve years in the penitentiary. Oakesdale's water and electric light projects have finally come to grief. Judge' Sullivan has sustained and made permanent the injunction against the proposed bond issue. The bonds exceed the town's legal indebtedness, and the electric light plant, the court finds, has decreased in value. The November issue of the Puget Sound Lumberman says: "The recent shipment of 600 red cedar doors and a quantity ot window irames to Johannes burg, South Africa, per bark Levenbank by Wheeler, Osgood & Co. of Tacoma marks another epoch in the door trade of the Pacific Northwest. Only three years ago the red cedar door trade was tinknown east of the Cascade Mountains. The doormen of the Pacific Northwest will, however, have the same difficulty ' in introducing their goods that the cedar shingle men had, namely, the prejudice of custom. It is always hard to intro duce any new material in the older com munities; but, once introduced, the ex- -cellence of the material will speak for itself. ' The door trade of the Pacific Northwest in our humble opinion has a bright future ahead." . Japan in no hurry. No Answer Received as Yet to Our Offer ' to Arbitrate. Washington, November 16. It is stated here in official circles that Japan has not . yet accepted the invitation of the United StateB to submit the ques tion of peace with China to our media tion. While the statement is probably literally correct, there is reason to be lieve that Japan has requested as a pre liminary to action upon our invitation that she be informed explicitly just what terms China has to propose as a basis of a treaty of peace. Up to this moment Uhma has not submitted any dennite proposals, so that the delay appears to De rather on her part than on Japan's. It could not fairly be expected that the Japanese would halt in their triumphant march ana perhaps anord their oppo nents a very potent opportunity to rally from their disorganized condition, unless Japan is furnished, with some satisfac tory proposition by China that may be binding beyond question upon the latter. No such satisfactory proposition has yet been made by China, but on the con trary the Chinese tenders so far have been on a basis that could not be ac cepted with safety and consistency by Japan. For instance, a Chinese proposition was that Corea be evacuated by both Chinese and Japanese troops. Inasmuch as the principal cause of the war was Japan's contention that the entire Co rean administrative and financial system must be reformed on modern lines, and that Japan must undertake the task, a temporary occupation of the country at least by Japan was a necessary condi tion. And consenting that the Japanese troops evacuate China immediately would also violate all precedent, for it is customary in such cases for the victori ous nation to remain in possession of the captured territory as a pledge until the payment of the war indemnity. But, disregarding these points of difference, it is becoming more evident that the in terference of European powers is a stum bling block in the way of a settlement of the war through the medium of the United States, nearly all having inter ests in the East which they regard as paramount to our own. An official who has given much attention to the subject is of the opinion that Russia will never consent to anything which looks like an indefinite occupation of Corea by Japan, unless she is herself allowed to take pos session of a portion of Corea for the Eastern terminus of the Siberian rail road. France is reported to have de manded a coaling station on the Island of Formosa, and Great Britain has reached out for the Island of Chusan. Japan's outlay. ' Tokio, November 16. Japan has not yet received any peace overtures , from China. If Japan accepts America's offer of mediation, she will do so only upon certain conditions concerning the ques tion of indemnity. It is understood that Japan's actual outlav for the war up to the present has been about 30,000,000. FEOM THE FRONT. ' Washington, November 16. The Jap anese Minister to-night received the fol lowing cablegram from the Japanese government: Our army occcupied Ta lien Wan the afternoon of the 8th in stant, having destroyed the Chinese torpedoes. Our fleet, transports and torpedo-boats are safely anchored in the bay. The torpedo station with ignition equipments, charts of submarine tor fiedoes, eighty cannons and telephone ine were captured. yamagata's army. Tokio, November 16. Dispatches from Field Marshal Yamagata say that he is continuing his anvance on Manchuria. His left division is marching upon Siu Yon Ching, where a force of 20,000 Chi nese under General Ma is encamped. The right division recently routed a large force of Chinese cavalry on the road to Lin San Kwan, which was oc cupied later without opposition from the Chinese. The division is now advancing upon Wo Tin Tang, where the Chinese under General Tso have taken a posi tion. ' THE DEFEAT AT KIN CHOW. ! . London, November 16. The Tien Tsin correspondent of the Times says that Prince Kung sent' back to Port Arthur General Shiu with 2,000 men. They made a vigorous defense eastward of Kin Chow November 7, and fought throughout the day. They checked the Japanese advance, though unsupported by the other commanders. Another se vere fight took'place November 8, when General Shiu was overcome by the Jap anese then occupying Kin Chow. Some thousands of refugees, fleeing from Kin Chow toward the villages in the vicin ity, were mistaken for the enemy by the Japanese, who fired into them from the defenses, killing hundreds. Sugar Investigation Cases. Washington, November 15. Judge Cole in the District Court, District of Columbia, to-day overruled the de murrer in the case of Dr. William Mc Cartney of Washington and E. R. Chap man of New York, brokers who refused to answer certain questions before the Senate sugar investigating committee. This was in the nature of a trial of the case, and the decision means that Have meyer, Searles and Seymour, recently indicted, and the newspaper men, Ed wards and Shriver, first indicted, will have to stand trial. Murder In Oklahoma. Perry, O. T., November 15. News of a duel reached here this evening from Sumner, ten miles east of here on Mule creek. A. R.. Yuree, postmaster at Sum ner, was shot and killed by M. 8. Gard- ner, who was a rival claimant for the same tract of land. The men quarreled about Gardner trying to build a house on the land. Yuree ran at Gardner with an ax, when the latter shot him. RATESTO SPOKANE Advance in the New Commodity Tariff to the Interior. AVERAGE OF THE ADVANCE An Increase 'Which Will Put the Coast Terminals on a Better Basts List of the Commodities on Which the Bates Are Unchanged. Portland, November 15. Commodity rates from Chicago, the Mississippi and Missouri rivers to North Pacific termi nals were advanced October 20. Rates to intermediate points have been ad justed, and advance will be made to-day. This will put the Coast oh a better basis with the interior. Out of 109 commod ities, however, only forty-two have been raised. Among " the commodities on which rates are unchanged are the fol lowing: Agricultural implements, apples and cider, axes, beer, glass bottles., pressed brick, broom corn, butter, butterine, eggs, cheese, dressed poultry,' canned goods, cereals, cereal products, lamp chimneys, coffee, condensed milk, crock; ery, earthenware, fresh fruit, furniture) nails and spikes, horseshoe nails, linseed oil in tank cars, starch and syrup.

' Foet Smith, Ark., ' November 15. Train No. 2, southbound on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas road, was held up and robbed at 10 p. M. at a little siding, Blackstone, five miles north of Muskogee. There were fifteen men in the gang, all unmasked. The switch was thrown and the train run into a track on which were several box cars. An attempt was made to enter the express car, but it was un successful. The robbers, finding them selves foiled in this, commenced robbing the passengers, who up to this time had been merely kept under guard by men stationed in either door of each coach. Two hundred and sixty dollars in money and eight gold watches were secured. The robbers then withdrew. One of the train crewtilaims to have recognized Bill Cook as one of the ban dits. The reason that more money was not secured laid in the fact that, while the robbers were endeavoring to get into the express car, the passengers disposed of much of their valuables. The scene of the hold-up is in the midst of the Cook rendezvous, all that country lying between the Arkansas and Verdi Oris rivers being particularly, suited to the purposes of lawless bands. Almost the entire force of Marshals are now in that country. V ' Chloral Found In the Stomach. Tacoma, November 15. Chemist Davidson to-night reported to the Coro ner that he found chloral in quantity sufficient to kill in the stomach of Madi son M. Bartlett, whose dead body was found on the sidewalk the morning of November 5. Some thought Bartlett had been murdered, but this clears up the mystery and leads to the conclusion that he took an overdose of the drug be fore closing his cigar store to go home early that morning. At the inquest sev eral witnesses testined that Jtsartiett sometimes used chloral and morphine to produce sleep, and the theory is that he took the drug that night downtown in order that he might sleep as soon as he reached home. . lhe Uoroner s jury, which adjourned awaiting the chemist's report, will hold its final session to-mor row. Diphtheric Mucus In the Eye.' Cincinnati, November 15. Dr. Eman uel Schwab of Madison Pike, Walnut Hills, is suffering from an affliction of the eyes, resulting from a peculiar cause. tie has among his patients one who is Buttering from diphtheria. While visit ing his patient he was in the act of ex amining the throat when the sufferer coughed. As he did so a piece of mucus from the throat struck the doctor in the eves. Dr. Schwab finished his work. In a few hours one of the eyes began to burn, and soon became inflamed. He realized that the poisoned mucus had affected the tender lining of the eye, and when it refused to yield to simple treat ment lie called an oculist. An examina tion developed that the poison had im pregnated the muscles of the eye, and that it was a serious case. THE ACT INVALID. The Obligations of the Arizona Counties Cannot be Enforced. . Phojnix, A. T., November 15. The Republican will publish to-morrow the substance of a recent ' decision by the Supreme Court of the United States, which invalidates the Territorial in debtedness, amounting to $750,000. ' The decision was in the case of Charles Ed ward Lewis vs. Pima county to enforce the collection of 2,250 coupons attached to 150 bonds issued by the defendant county in 1883 under an act of the Leg islature of that year directing the Board of Supervisors to issue bonds to the amount of $200,000 in favor of the Ari zona Narrow Gauge railroad. The Leg islature construed its authority to enact such-' a law in spite of the restriction which confined its appropriation of pub lic money to " the necessary administra tion of its internal affairs." Suit was brought against the county three years ago, and the verdict was rendered for the defendant, Judge Sloan holding that the legislation creating bonds was spe cial and contrary to the Harrison act. The United States Supreme Court takes no account of this view, but declares that the Legislature was restricted by a clause which confines it to this species of legislation only in favor of improve ments which facilitate the administra tion of internal affairs. The decision closes in the following language: "We are compelled to hold that the bonds in question create no obligation against the county which a court of law can enforce." This decision affects an issue of $200,- 000 by Maricopa county in favor of the Maricopa and Phoenix railroad and an issue of $250,000 by Yavapai county in favor of the now defunct Prescott and Arizona Central. , FOR THE DELEGATES. Instructions Agreed Upon by the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. v Seattle, November 15. The Chamber of Commerce to-day agreed upon the in structions to the delegates to the Trans- mississippi Congress to, be held at St. Louis November 26. The delegates will be instructed to oppose free coinage of silver ; favor the building of the Nicara guan canal ; favor appropriations for the Lake Washington canal; favor transfer ring government lands to the State; favor giving Alaska local or territorial government; favor the removal of the bonding privilege to foreign railroads.

Deputy United States Marshal Outwitted by His Prisoner. St. Louis, November 15. Deputy United States Marshal Henry Miller, of San Francisco reached St. Louis to-day. He left San Francisco last Thursday with Henry Smy the accused of using the mails to defraud Chicago merchants. Monday afternoon at Little Rock, Ark., Smythe disappeared from the train so mysteriously that Miller haa not yet re covered the prisoner Smythe's wife and daughter were on the train. " When we reached Texarkana Mon day," said Miller, " Mrs. Smythe made coffee in the car and prepared the meal. An hour and a half afterward I had a dreadful pain and was almost overcome by a drowsy teeiing. My head leit as n it was in" a vise. None of the others were taken sick. The inference is obvi- s- Early in the afternoon, when the train reached Little Rock, I walked along the platform to the front car, and when I got on board I did not see Smythe. I noticed that while I had been on the platform the watermen had unlocked the rear door to supply the drinking tank, and Smythe had evidently skipped by them." Northern Paelflo Connection. Tacoma, November 15. It is an nounced that an English syndicate has contracted to build the Fraser Valley and Burrard Inlet railway, fifty-one miles long, from Sumas, Wash., to Van couver, B. 0., providing the city of Van couver gives the promised subsidy of $550,000 and grants an extension of one year's time, or to December 31, 1895, in which to build the road. The line was to be finished by December 31 next, but the business depression prevented. The arrangement made is that the English men shall take the subsidy and then build, own and operate the road. By a traffic agreement already provided the line will be in reality a branch of the Northern Pacific running into the Ca nadian Pacific's territory, as originally intended. The Northern Pacific's ob ject, it is said, is to cut rates to Van couver, if the Canadian Pacific cuts rates into its territory. If the extension of time is granted, the line will be built early in the summer. Over $60,000 has been spent on it to date,. GOLD BOND ISSUE The Leading New York Bankers Discussing the Problem. THEY HAVE PLENTY OF GOLD Investors Are Expected to Subscribe largely. While the Banks Will Fur nish to Depositors Freely the Gold Necessary to Take the Bonds. New York, November 14. Five Pres idents of national banks, who are re garded as the leaders of the bank Presi dents in New York city, met in the of fice of Henry W. Cannon, President of the Chase National Bank, late to-day. They were Mr. Cannon, President Nash of the Corn Exchange National, Tappen of the Gallatin National, Simmons of the Fourth National and Williams of the Chemical National Bank. These gentle men had attended a meeting of the Building Committee of the Clearing- House Association and gathered in the office of the Chase National to discuss the impending government loan. The consensus of opinion was that the bank ers of New York would give up large amounts of gold for the purchase of the new issue of government bonds. It is expected that investors will subscribe largely for the new bonds, and the banks will furnish to depositors freely the gold necessary to take the bonds. This deci sion is of importance, for the banks rep resented at this informal conference with the Union Trust and the United States and the Central Trust Companies hold the bulk of the gold in New York. Pres idents King, Stewart and Olcott of the trust companies mentioned have already extended the administration their assur ance that the new issue will be taken care of. When the February issue was made depositors had difficulty in obtain ing the gold from banks, and many only secured legal tender, which was pre sented at the subtreasnrv to obtain cold. The government thus failed to secure over $38,000,000 gold for the $58,'000,000 needed by the sale of $50,000,000 bonds. The decision of the bankers to give up their gold freely will consequently net a larger amount of gold to the government, the result of the forthcoming issue being estimated at over $50,000,000. It is un derstood in New York that the new issue will be' announced within forty-eight hours, if the circulars and subscription blanks can be prepared in that time. THE TRIP POSTPONED. Senate Commerce Committee Will Walt Until Congress Meets. Washington, November 14. About the only Senatorial excursion authorized during the last session of that body was one granting the Committee on Com merce authority to make a trip to Cali fornia for the purpose of examining the sites for the proposed deep-water har bor on the Pacihc Uoast. The struggle is between Santa Monica and San Pedro, and the rivalry between the two ports and conflicting railroad interests have been so strong that the committee has been unable to come to a satisfacr tory conclusion. It was the intention to have made the trip during the past sum mer, but the elections intervened to prevent. Senator Ransom, Chairman of the committee, reached Washington to day, intending to arrange for an early start, but so many of the members of the committee are unable to get away that the Chairman to-day decided to postpone the matter until Congress meets and the committee has an oppor tunity of getting together. NOTHING TO PREVENT IT. Nuns May Teach in Public Schools in Pennsylvania. , ''., ' Pittsbubg, November 14. The Su preme Court in a majority opinion handed down by Judge Dean confirms the decision of the lower court declaring that the employment of sisters of the Roman Catholic Church in the common schools of Gallitzinborongh sis not un lawful, inasmuch as no proof has been submitted that religious sectarian in struction is imparted by the sisters dur ing school hours. The opinion says that the fact the women are Catholics does not disqualify them under the :constitu tion, and quotes from article 1 of the bill of rights which extends to all men the right to worship God according to the dictates of their conscience. The opin ion further declares that the selection of Catholic teachers by the School Board is not a violation ot law, and says the fact that these teachers contributed their earnings for a religious purpose has no bearing on the matter. Judge Williams delivered a minority dissenting opinion. Ericsson's Trial Again Postponed. New London, Conn., November 14. The new torpedo boat Ericsson started early for the course in Long Island Sound, over which she is to have her speed trial, but met with an accident, which will again postpone the trial in definitely. She had just started on the course when ran eccentric snapped on the starboard side. Important Witnesses Missing. Santa Rosa, Cal., November 14. The celebrated case of the People vs. Mrs. Elizabeth J. Bryan for the murder of her sister, Blind Nancy Meagher, last February, came up in the Superior Court to-day. Owing to an inability to secure some important witnesses the case was again continued, this time to December 12. ' ; DOMINION OF CANADA. An Address Before the Geographical Society on Her Resources. EDiNBURGH.November 14. Sir Charles Tupper, Canadian High Commissioner, delivered a lecture before the Geographi cal Society to-day upon the resources and general economic condition of the Dominion of Canada. He dilated upon the influence of federation upon the eco nomic position of the Dominion as seen in the enormous developments of trade and commerce, and the prosperity of the country generally since the establish ment of the Dominion, especially in the expansion of foreign trade. Canada's trade in 1893 and 1894, he said, was the highest ever reached, and the increase since 1877 has been 90 per cent. The stability of trade had been remarkable. In spite of the McKinley law, the finan cial disturbances and the fall of prices Canada has been little affected. The demand for staple products and exports was as high as ever. The situation of the country lay in the soundness Of its banking system and the prudence of its traders. The excellence of the national credit had been shown in the success of the recent loan, which was now at par. He referred to Canada's expansive coal and iron resources and deposits of nickel, and expressed his belief that wheat would continue to be the great staple product of the Northwest long after the United States had ceased to grow it as a profit or to export it. The French treaty, he said, had sealed the power of ' Canada to regulate external trade rela-. tions. The Ottawa conference would do much to promote intercolonial and im perial trade, the development of steam ship lines and ocean cables. THE FOREST FIRES. Much Property Destroyed and Many ....'...) lives Lost. ....- Memphis, Tenn., November 14. The forest fires from Arkansas have broken out in North Mississippi on a more ex tensive scale. The entire Yazoo delta is threatened. Memphis is hemmed in on three sides by vast fires, and it is im possible to enter the city without pass ing through miles of heated air and smoke. The fire in Mississippi started ten miles south of Memphis, and ex tends south of De Soto and Tunica coun ties to the town of Tunica. Its origin is credited to a recent visit of inspection paid by officials of the Illinois Central. The section foreman, anxious to make a good showing, set fire to the dry grass along the roadside and soon a con flag ra- . tion had spread through the forest. Plantations have been wiped away with buildings, fences and crops. A great deal of cotton is still ungathered, and all is in the line of flames. There are rumors of negroes lost in the confiagra- tion. The Arkansas fires are along the line of the Little Rock and Memphis road from the river thirty-one miles in land. The most destructive fire is in Lost Swamp twentv-five miles from here. The fire near Mound City has burned itself out alter doing much damage. Near Edmondson two negroes, one a young girl, were burned to death in the swam p. Many bones, said to be human, have been recovered. THE COOK GANG. Further Depredations by the Indian . Territory Outlaws. , f , Muskogee,vI. TV, November 14. The Cook gang held up a farmer and stole '. his horses and saddles six miles from here early this morning. They are ' headed toward Port Gibson, and a posse started out to-night, xesterdav seven of the gang we"nt to the -farmhouse of James Dickens near irerry and demand ed food, which was refused. The out laws then bound Dickens, his wife and daughter, and plundered the house. They were not released- until neighbors arrived in ine evening, .turner iucas, a member of the gang under arrest at Fort Smith. Ark., made a full confession Sat urday of his connection with am Uook. Lulu Cook, who was arrested last week ' at Tahlequah, is at liberty on bonds.. She has written a long statement to the nnblin. charo-ino- that the Marshals har assed her brothers, Bill and Jim, until , they were forced into outlawry. DIFFERENCES SETTLED. ' Atchison and Topeka and Southern Pa - cine Will Exchange Business. - Chicago, November 14. Private ad vices were received in this city to-day from New York stating that the mission -of A. C. Walker, receiver of the Atchi son and Topeka, had .been successful. -An agreement had been reached be tween his road and the Southern Pacific on all differences that have divided them for more than a year past. The Atchi son and Topeka, it is understood, prac tically secures all for which it had been contesting. Its right to ticket . pas sengers to San Francisco via Los An geles at short-line rates is admitted and fully secured for the future. - Further more, the Atchison and Topeka has se-' cured a guarantee from the Southern Pa cific that it will be allowed the right of ticketing passengers to San Francisco and Southern California points over the Southern Pacific tracks on as favorable ' terms as are given any of the Southern Pacific connections from any other , di rection.
