Some enoour Aging reports come from Oregon con cerning the civilization of Indians upon the various agencies of that state. This : is especially true of the Grand Ronde ' 'agency, where progress has been made and where the-Indians have developed a desire to become something more than ordinary vagabonds, ' supported by the government. , From other agencies the Reports have not been "quite so favor able, -and it seems that the1 Oregon In dian is generally willing to take ad vantage of his privilege, as defined by Judge Bellinger, and get drunk. There is every possibility that a bill , will be passed at the coming congress prohibiting the sale of liquor to In dians, whether he has taken his lands in severalty or . not.

' It is doubtful under the construction placed, upon the law . of citizenship of ... the Indians ijvvhether-congress can interfere in any 'reuch. matter, except upon reservations, for the sale of liquor is regarded and held to be subject to the states as po : lioe regulations may require. The law ..Which, the, Indian office wants passed is to place the Indian on alloted land under the same, jurisdiction -as the In dian who has "hot yet severed his tribal relations. It may delay the final extinction-of the Indian race somef years if liquor is kept away from the' Indians, but, at the same tijiiie,, i t will interfere with a great and glorious privilege of the red man. The destiny of the Indian now is to get rid of himself as soon as possi ble: . - PORTLAND HAS 81,342. The Total Population, Within, the City ;Po;rUand;,'';Or. Oct." j 16.

MILITIA MAY BE CALLED UPON The Governor Says He Will Not Allow The Pugilists to Meet Even , ; . to Shake Hands. . Little Rook, Oot. 17. Governor Clarke's determination to stop the Cor-bett-Fitzsiinmons contest was empha sized today in the presenpe of General Taylor, brigadier-general of the Ar kansas 'state guards, who was sum moned here by telegraph to confer with the governor,' in regard to the strength of the state militia. General Taylor was in conference with Gover nor Clarke, for an hour this, morning, and when seen by a reporter was pre paring .to take the train for Hot Springs. General Taylor said the fight would not occur. His purpose in going to Hot Springs, he said, was to warn the people there against the danger.. to which they would subject themselves, should an attempt be made to have the oontest. The state guard, he said,, was in good condition and amply sufficient to cope with the case in hand.; He oould, he said, with a ;i few hours no tioe, land 850 well-drilled and fully equipped men in Hot Springs. General Taylor will return here tomorrow and advise Governor Clarke as to the situa tion in. Hot Springs, and the result of his visit there. : Governor Clarke, - when questioned in reference to his consultation with General Taylor, was not disposed to talk. Asked if he had confidence in the ability of the state guard to carry out his plans, he said the militia was a matter . of secondary consideration; that he oould get all the force neces sary outside pf the militia. He reiter ated his former declaration that the flght.would not be permitted to take place, and said he could make no dis tinction between a prizefight and a glove contest. ' . " .'"' Suppose, Governor Clarke," sug gested the reporter, "Corbett and Fitz simmons should desire to give an exhi bition of physical culture in Hot Springs, October' 81, in- which large soft-gloves were to be used, would that also be stopped by military force?" Corbett and " Fitzsimmons shall not meet in Hot Springs in any kind of a oontest, said Governor Clarke, em phatically. "If they ever meet, they1 will fight, and they shall not fight in Arkansas. They shall not meet in Hot Springs, either in or out of a ring. They shall not even shake hands. " Whe.n asked if Cobrett would be ar rested upon his arrival at Hot Springs, Governor Clarke said that a good gen eral never discloses his plans to. the enemy. Information came from a pri vate source today that the Florida Ath letio Club is considering a plan , by which it hopes to overoome the obsta cles placed , before it by ' Governor Clarke. The scheme is to" turn the whole affair over to the Hot Springs Association. " That association was in corporated by William Baboock, John C. Lonsdale and ' Charles H.' Weaver, all of Hot Springs. According to its oharter, the association was organized to. "carry on the, business of maintain ing a park or plaoe of reoreation, in or near the oity of Hot , Springs, where raoes, athletio sports and. games oould be practiced and exhibited, and means! of entertainment furnished either to the public or to suoh persons or associ ations as may be admitted thereto." Under the charter the people inter ested believe they can conduct a boxing match limited to a, specific number of rounds,1 with soft gloves,, without vio lating any state law. When informed of this scheme,. Governor Clarke stated that the -state .chartered corporations and associations for legal purposes only, and that no violation of the law would be tolerated under the guise of amusement. He. was "not prepared, however, to state just what legal effect the' proposed change would have. y , f 1 " ' Japs Kept From Corea. ; Yokohama, Oct. " 17.

Another Slaughter of Defenseless Ar menians Is Reported. . London, Oct. 17. A dispatch to the Daily News from Constantinople says: Reliable news has been received that fifty Armenians were killed,1 and number wounded at Althissar, in the vilayet of Adin, on the Analolian rail way, by a Moslem mob. The slaughter occurred on October 9 wmctt was market day, when many Armenians had gathered from adjacent villages. Early in the morning a Turk ish rough, finding that the Armenians were not armed, picked a quarrel and shot one of them. ' There was then raised on all sides the cry, "Why hesi tate to massacre the infidels?' A mob of Turks, armed with revolvers, s then looted the market and massacred the helpless Armenians. Their , bodies were thrown into wells. It is stated that the mudir was responsible for the attack. No women or children were injured, probably on account of the maimaikan, from the village of Gleve, three miles distant, who made valiant efforts at the risk of his own life to save the Christians. ' Otherwise the slaughter would have been complete, The panic is reviving in Constanti nople, on account of this attack, and the Armenians are again flocking into the churches. The police disregard th safe-conduct cards given to the Ar menians by the foreign embassies, and they insult and" maltreat the holders of them. . ' ... The Constantinople correspondent of the Standard blames the Armenian rev olutionary party for forcing the Ar menians to close their shops and to maintain the appearance of a panic when the Armenians themselves are ready to resume business. 1 visited tne prison," said the cor respondent, "and questioned the pris oners, ana tound tnere was .no serious complaints against the police.

SUCCESS JOF THE COMMISSION Secured the Execution of Seventeen Chi . nese Criminals. Washington, Oct. 17. Minister Denby and the British minister of China have Succeeded in overcoming the obstacles which have threatened to make the Ku Cheng commission a fail ure as far as it was intended to secure the punishment of, the Chinese who participated in the riots, at Ku Cheng. At each stage the commission has been hindered by local Chinese officials and the viceroy of the prpvince of Se Chuen himself, who stood in the way of the punishment of .the guilty par ties. Finally an appeal was made to the tsung li yamen directly and it has acceded to the demands, of th minis ters, . as evidenced by the following cablegram, received at the state de partment today, from Mr. Denby: "Peking, Oct. 11. Seventeen crim inals were executed at Ku Cheng. "The yamen agrees that all leaders' in the rioting shall be executed; all partici pants sentenced and all implicated shall ,be tried.. The commission . will prob ably be adjourned. An imperial de-' oree has been issued which refers all of the Se Chuen officials implicated to the board for punishment.

The "trial of, Theodore Durrant was today contin ued, until next Monday, on account of the illness of Attorney Deuprey, lead ing counsel for the r defense. While the rroseoution made no objection to the motion to continue, Judge Murphy was reluctant about giving his consent, and announced that the trial would be resumed next. Monday, whether Deu prey should have ' recovered or not. Mr. Deuprey is suffering from a severe attack of rheumatism, which has made it impossible' for him- to attend the trial for several days, but his physi cians believe he will be able to resume his duties next week. i The defense has only a few more witnesses. After disposing of young Lenahan, the rebuttal will be rapidly approached,' and the end of . the trial can be calculated by' days. . In, antici pation of. the speedy announcement of the resting of the defendant's case, Dis trict Attorney Barnes and his first as sistant, Edgar Feixoto, are putting their rebuttal . testimony into shape, and it is so that it can be placed before the jury with even more celerity than their case in chief. , - , 1 . i Texas' .New Law Is in Force. .

LAST COREAN UPRISING Marines Were Landed From " Foreign Warships. : PROBABLE DEATH OP THE QUEEN Trouble Had Its Inception Through . Her Dislike to the Newly-Or-,, ; , ', ganized Soldiers. . Washington, Oct. 16. Information of a formidable uprising in Corea, re sulting in the disappearance and prob able death of the queen and landing of military forces by- the United States and European .powers, has been receiv ed by Minister Kurino, of Japan, from the foreign office at Tokio. It is quite sensational, indicating the landing of marines by Russia, the United States and probably Great Britain. The latest dispatch to Minister Ku rino states that a force of Russian ma rines, forty in number, has been land ed. Thus far they have confined themselves to guarding the Russian le gation near Seoul. United States ma rines were landed from the Yorktown to the number of sixteen. It is believ ed British marines have been landed. Besides these the Japanese have a con siderable force of soldiers at Seoul, who have been preserving order. The dispatches come from Tokio, and communicate the substance of dis patches received from General Miira, the Japanese envoy at Seoul. They are dated from he 9th to the-12th inst., and it appears from these dispatches that the trouble had its inception through the queen's dislike of the new ly organized soldiers of Corea. The old soldiers had the primitive equip ment of the, far East, but with the progress of Japanese influence in Corea, two battalions of Corean troops "were organized on modern methods. Each battalion numbered 600 men armed with modern ,weapons. They were well drilled and officered. - When the queen showed her disfavor toward these new troops they appealed to Tai Won Kun, a powerful . chief, who had long been at enmity with the queen. He accepted the leadership of the new troops, . and, at the head of one battalion, entered the queen's pal ace. Tne native soldiers Hod from the palace. ; .-. ;r- - -..:-r The Tokio dispatch did not state what had become of the queen, further than that she had disappeared and can not be located. The officials are in clined to believe however that the un official reports of the queen's death are true. The Japanese government, the ,dispatch further states, has acted quickly on the reports and has appoint ed a commission to inquire into the facts. . - .. , In the meantime it is emphatically denied.that the1 queen's death, if it has occurred, was due to the Japanese. One dispatch says a Japanese soshi killed the queen. This is not yet con firmed in the dispatches Veceived here. The officials say that the soshi are an irresponsible andlawless class, and that tneir acts cannot De lam to tne Japan ese people or government. DENIED BY BAYARD.

Ambassador Bay ard was interviewed today respecting the report circulated in the United States that he had been instructed by Secretary Olney to submit an ultima tum to Great Britian on the Venezue lan question in the form of a dispatch the substance of which is said to be that the United States would never consent to British occupation of the disputed territory unless the right to it is determined by arbitration. Bay- rd, after reading the article published in a New York newspaper, dated Wash ington, October 8,. said the facts seem ed to have been evolved in the fertile brain of the writer in. the same man ner the spider finds material for her web, from her own interior.

James Sheak ley, governor of Alaska, in his annual report to the secretary of the interior, says that on the Fourth of July, the cutters Rush, Corwin, Grant and Perry were in the harbor of Unalaska and gave the natives an object lesson as to the proper 'and pariotio celebration of the day. On the disappearance of the seal the governor says: "No one at all familiar with the past history of the islands ' can look upon the deserted rookeries today and not'realize with crushing force how great has been the diminution of seal life, especially the- reproductive class, the females." . The governor says the claim of the Canadians and British that the exces sive killing of seals on land is the cause of the depletion is disapproved by the statistics. He says that on the rook enes now there are many male seals, while females are scarce. The diminu tion is due directly to the killing at sea, where no discrimination can be made as to the sex of the . seals. .: He says that better protection must be granted them than is afforded' by the Paris-tribunal, and that the schooners have not been able to make the usual catch this season, the catch of the Brit ish vessels being not over 200 per ves- '' : -" : A PREACHER IN TROUBLE.

Devil's Lake.'N. D., Oct. 16. The general board of mediation of the American Railway Union has adopted the following resolution, addressed to the employes of Amerioa: ','."'" "Though overwhelmed and shatter ed in the great strike of 1894, its mem bers blacklisted and scattered, - the union has risen . and is lighting the way to industrial freedom. The rail way interests of the country are rapid ly passing into the hands of a few men, and the only hope of employes lies in unification, and progressive men are active in their efforts to bring this about. To our beloved, president, E. V. Debs, although ' you are behind prison bars, deprived of your liberty by a corrupt and servile tool of cor porations, backed by rotten adminis tration, you live in the hearts of the common people. The employes of the Great Northern are with you, . as they were in 1894, and honor you as a leader who will yet lead to victory." ., , The .Cholera Decreasing, San Francisoo, Oct. 16.

Passenger travel to the neigh boring islands is still restricted, but freight shipments are now freely made. . The government is in a ferment over another reported filibustering expedi tion. The police have all "been armed and extra soldiers enlisted. It is re ported a filibuster craft, with armed men, was seen about ten miles from Honolulu, but the polioe tug failed to locate them.

San Francisco, Oct. 14. Another of the monster guns especially constructed by the war department for, the defense of San Francisco, has arrived at the West Oakland railroad yards. It is a more massive piece i of Ordnance than Big Betsy on the Monterey, or the great gun at Fort Point. . The gun is forty two feet long and fifteen inch bore. The diameter of this tremendous en gine of war is fully fifty inches t the breech. The weight of the ponderous weapon is such that it taxed the strength of the oars that bore it from the East to this coast. WAR ON LOTTERIES Annual Report of, Postoffice Department's Attorney, i MANY FRAUD ORDERS ISSUED Amended Lottery Act Has Been Most Successful and Virtually Closed the Mails to Lottery Concerns. Washington, Oct 15. John L? Thomas, attorney-general for the. post office department, has made his annual report to the postmaster-general. Of the operations of his office he says that during the year 218 "fraud" orders were issued, prohibiting the delivery of registered packages and the payment of money orders to certain companies and parties named. Of these, however, thirty -eight were duplicate orders." The orders were issued against fifty-five lotteries, operated by so-called bond investment companies; twelve against avowed lotteries; 21 lotteries of a mis cellaneous character and 130 schemes devised to defraud the public. Seventy of these orders were revoked upon it being made to appear that the. parties operating the schemes , had abandoned them. This left in force, at the end of the, year, 148 orders, original .uA dup licates. Twenty-eight of the orders issued -during the previous year were also revoked upon the proper showing. , Mr. Thomas says that the act of March 2, 1895, further amending the lottery act, has been most suocSssful and has virtually closed the mails to lottery concerns. He adds: -' - "This act goes further still, and for bids international state carriers from transporting lottery matter from for eign countries into this country, or from one state to another. This de partment has no jurisdiction, however, to enforce this part of the law, and I cannot state definitely the extent to which the lottery carrying business has been checked by the act, but' I am in formed that most, if not allof the ex press companies yield obedience to it by refusing to carry the prohibited lot tery matter. It may be confidently as serted that the death knell of the lot teries in this country has been sound ed, and their business has been vastly . crippled, if not destroyed; but I am , ' sorry to note the fact that many busi ness men think they must, in order - to succeed, report to schemes that appeal to the gambling spirit of the people, , and they accordingly sugar-coat their legitimate enterprises with lottery, ad vertisements, and thus create a desire for other and more pernicious modes of ; obtaining something for nothing by . hazard or chance. , These f asoinating and apparently innocent schemes reach the boys and girls of the land and tend to make them gamblers. " .: The number of claims allowed for losses by burglary, fire, etc., were 1,806, amounting to 1136,686. ; The attorney-general .again urges a law compelling subordinates in post offices to give security for the hand ling of money, or making the post masters responsible for the losses in curred by subordinates. Mr. Thomas also calls attention to an important subject in the following way: "Attention has been severaf times during the year called to the danger- -ous and injurious matter deposited in the mails, and" upon investigation it was shown that there was - no, penalty prescribed for putting such' matter in the mails, and, indeed, there . is , no statute forbidding the mailing of these s substances, such as poisons, matches, and other . articles liable . to ignite or explode by shock or jar; live and pois onous insects and reptiles, smallpox -virus or germs of contagious diseases; . or fatty substances," liquids, or sharp- , tongued instruments. ' Some - are very dangerous to the life, health and com fort of the body, and others are liable to damage other mail matter and mail-., sacks if they should become loose in the mails." , ' College Football. - Cambridge, Mass.; Oct. 15. The' prospect of a football game with Prince ton is the one thing talked of among the followers of the game at Harvard. The latter will do everything possible . to bring about the game and it is said ' the only difficulty is a suitable date. Princeton has named November 2 With ' the university of Michigan, but has open dates November 5 and 6. The latter date is objectionable1 because a week later both Harvard and Princeton play their most important games, the. former with the university of Penn sylvania and the . latter with Yale. Princeton has a game with Cornell No vember 9 which, it is stated, the lat-, ter refuses to cancel although it is sug-' gested that Marshall Newell, the old Harvard tackle, who is coaching Cor nell, may be able, to arrange a date later. : , " - ..
