TWO CUTE FOXES. , Thoy Had Fun While Baffled Hnnterl Wondered Where They Were Hidden. ' In Outing is told the story of a pair of foxes that for a time, at any rate, enjoyed the sport of a fox hunt The dogs jumped them, but after awhile tho ; trail ended at a pond. :' About the center of the pond was a bent tree, the two ends of which were in the water, while the highest point of the curve was perhaps 20 feet above the pond. The dogs were working about the pond, looking for the trail, and the , men were looking, too, and they were beginning to feel rather curious, espe cially as every few moments they would hear a fox yelp sharply. It seemed to bo a derisive bark, which it probably was. ' After awhile a movement in the top of the curve oft the tree in the pond attract ed attention.' w "Upon this tree," the acoount oon- . tinues, ' 'seated oomf ortably at the point of its highest curve, was ag old dog fox The cunning rascal had traveled across the pond on the logs, then scaled the bent tree, and while we watched he jerked his goodly brush up and down and barked his derision at the whole performance. After awhile we saw his vixen seated on an adjacent log. They were simply watching the futile efforts of our pack to locate them, and, likely enough, they enjoyed the experience. " One of the men got up wind from the animals and his scent drove them out. The dogs took the male fox's trail and drove it at last to a log spanning a ditch, on which a man was sitting. The fox did not see the motionless man till close enough to be reached, when, with a frantio leap sideways into the water, he escaped the grab. - The race did not last long then. The wet fox gave ofl) a strong, easily followed scent, and tho wet brush was like a piece of lead, so the animal was killed by the dogs while . the men rushed in afoot to get a closer view. ' . '". ' : JOHN H. SURRATT. . HI Escape From Capture When He Waa a Papal Zouave. ' Whether Surratt was in the city on the day of Lincoln's assassination will probably never be positively known. During his trial he attempted to prove that he was in Elmira, N. Y., doing ; special service for the Confederacy, and the proof which he furnished was suffi- cient to convince 8 out of the 12 jurors that he was not present and took no part in the plot. Surratt claimed to have first learned of the murder on the morn- . ing following the assassination from the : newspapers while in Elmira and on the next morning, while en route to New t York city, of his suspected complicity in the plot. He fled immediately to Canada, where he remained concealed ,by Catholio priests for yearly five .months.. Leaving Canada, he went to - England, thence to Paris, and thence to Borne, where, under the name of Wat son, he enlisted in the zouaves of the pope. While in the Papal zouaves he was recognized by a Canadian acquaintance, who betrayed him. On the day follow ing his arrest, while under the guard of : six men, he leaped blindly from a rocky precipice over 100 feet in depth, and, alighting by chance on a projecting rock CO feet below, clambered quickly down the abyss, escaped, reached Naples in the course of a week and sailed to Al exandria on the same vessel which car ried the instructions to the consul there , that led to his capture. He was finally brought back to the United States and tried at - Washington by a civil court The trial extended over a period of two months, and more than 200 witnesses appeared on the stand. The jury dis agreed, as above stated,' and the govern- tnent did not prosecute the case further.

CAN NO LONGER BE CONCEALED The" Government'! Ruse of Blaming the United States for Its Failure Will Not Much Longer Answer the Purpose . Madrid, Aug. 10. Trouble of a seri ous nature is being fomented in Spain, particularly in the province of Valen oia, by agents of the Cuban insurgents. The minister of the interior, Senor Cos gay on, yesterday replying to a question in the ohamber of deputies admitted that riots had occurred in Valencia, caused by the friends of the Cuban in surgents, who hoped thereby to prevent the departure of reinforcements of troops for Cuba. . Hitherto the popular demonstrations have been attributed to protest against imposing new taxes, made neoessary by the finanoial strain the government has been subjeoted to, through carrying on the campaign agaipst the insurgents in Cuba, but while the government is only willing to admit that the riots have benn instigated by the agents of the Cuban revolutionists, it is generally adimtted that the root of the trouble is much deeper and that it il being nour ished by a natural feeling of alarm and dismay at the apparent utter inability of the government to cope with the situation in Cuba. That the large Spanish army in Cuba must be still further heavily reinforoed is looked - upon here as being a confes sion of weakness on the part of the administration and as an admission of the growing, strength of the Cubans. In addition, many letters have been re ceived in different parts of Spain by the relatives of . the Spanish soldiery serving with the army in Cuba, and they tell suoh terrible tales of sickness, privation, inoompetency and misman agement, to say nothing of lack of pay, that a dangerous feeling, against the government has arisen, and is gaining strength day by day. Under these oir cumstanoes, agents of tbe Cubans do not have muoh difficulty in carrying out their plan of oauBing popular out breaks. They steadily fan the flame of discontent by pointing to the apparent ly unnecessary hardships which the Spanish troops in Cuba are compelled to endure. - - - ( The republicans also are taking ad vantage of tbe situation to push their propaganda, and the combined move ments are making more headway with the masses than the government will admit, although it is already betraying symptoms of alarm and has sent strin gent instructions to the prefects . to suppress promptly and effeotually demonstrations which ocour in their dlstriots, and to have no hesitation in oalling out the military for support. . . A number of oonfliots between rioters and the police and soldiers have already occurred, shots have been exchanged, several persons have been wounded on both sides, and a number of arrests have been made. This the revolution ists hope will sorve to call attention to their cause and enlist in their behalf the sympathy of the people. The roads in Valenoia are being patroled by the gen d'armes, troops are pursuing armed bands of revolutionists in the moun tainous districts of the same provinces and further trouble is apprehended. Madrid up to the present has been quiet, but signs are not wanting that the spirit of discontent is abroad, and that the efforts of . the government to gain support by trying to throw the blame for everything upon the United States, the chief bugaboo of Spanish politicians, wijl not much li nger avail. Iu a faotory near the city of Valenoia the authorities have discovered a quan tity of arms and ammunition, and simi lar stores are believed to be in exist ence in different parts of the province. The arms referred to h re known -to have boon smuggled into Spain quite re cently, and are of foreign manufac ture, showing their' shipment to be part of the plan of oampaign being con ducted by the Cubans in Spain. The Spanish ofQoials, as usual, are blaming the Unitod States for the troubles in this country, basing their assertions upon tho fact that among the leaders of tbe reoent riots was Dr Ber nardo Toledo, said to be an American citizen, whose brother is in command of a force of Cuban insurgents. It is claimed that money, arms and ammuni tion, were served out to the rioters from the house whioh he occupied, and a sories of spying is said to have result ed in the discovery of letters from the United States, Cuba and the Argen tine Republic showing that the out breaks here have been planned by the leaders of the Cuban insurgents, and that the movement is widespread and capable of assuming serious propor tions. ' . Death of Mrs. Annette Hicks Lord. New York, Aug. 10. Mrs. Annette Hicks-Lord, who was in her day one of the most notable figures in New York sooiety, died last night, aged 67.

Orr was today declared by Judge Pritchard to have been duly elected mayor of Ta ooma, by a majority of fifteen rotes, at the eleotion held last spring. He will take his seat as mayor as soon as the judgment in the case is signed, unless a supersedeas bond is permitted to be filed, pending an appeal to the supreme court Jndge Pritchard handed down his deoision on the disputed ballots at 4:80 o'oiook tins afternoon. It oovers twenty-five pages of typewritten mann script, and deals exhaustively with the case. ' : A. V. Fawoett, who was, after the official canvass, deolared eleoted by a majority of two over Orr, the previous mayor, and candidate for re-eleotion, will have to step down and out. The contest oase has been on trial two weeks. It was at its oommenoe ment that it was discovered that the vote of four precincts, that gave ma. jorities for Orr, had been stolen from the oity vaults. The court, however, went ahead with the count of the other ballots, taking the figures of the miss ing ballots from the returns. The undisputed ballots gave Orr 3,620 and Fawoett 2,590 votes, inolud ing the four stolen precincts, the offloial returns of whioh were counted. Four disputed votes which were counted for Orr, gave him a total of 2,624, and nineteen disputed votes, counted for Fawoett, gave him a total of 2,609, majority for Orr of fifteen votes., ' ROBERT J. A WONDER. The Fastest Four Consecutive Ever Faced or Trotted. Beats Columbus, O., Aug. 10. Robert J, again demonstrated today that he is the greatest pacer ever harnessed to a sulky. Frank Agan was the favorite in the free-for-all paoe, and, relying upon his remarkable performances at Cleveland, nearly every horseman on the track baoked him to win. Previous to the second heat of the great race, Robert J. had few backers in this town outside of Hamlin and tbe attaches of the Village Farm stables. When Robert J. took the second heat, how ever, he became a hot favorite. It w;s evident from the first that Robert J was to be driven to win, and the fact that Agan was so heavily baoked made it certain the race would be hotly con tested. And so it was. - It was the greatest race of - the year, the fastest four oonseoutive heats and the greatest fourth heat ever paced or trotted on any track being made. In the first heat, paced in 2:03, Agan lowered his record half a second, and broke the track record. The seoond and third heats, in 2:04 W, where oon sidered phenomenal, but the crowd was not prepared for the great surprise when the fastest fourth heat ever paced or trotted, was made, the time being 2:02. - . NO LONGER CITIZENS. Admission of Negroes to Creek Nation f Deolared Unconstitutional. Perry, O. T., Aug. 10. The final dercee has been promulgated from Okmulgee, capital of the Creek nation, as it had been banded down by Judge Adams, chief justice of the supreme oourt of the nation, in the citizenship case. It strikes from the rolls of oiti zenship of the nation the names of over 1,700 negroes. Tbe decision held that the action of tho emancipation act by tbe United btates, in admitting the negroes to tribal relations, was unconstitutional, and, therefore, at this time invalid. Since the passage of the act these ne groes have drawn in annuities $1,000, 000 from the Creek government, and have improved their farms, and have eduoated their children at tbe nation's expense for twenty years. From the deoision of the oourt there is no appeal. The interior department has held to the same opinion in a similar case. The Dawes commission, which has been appealed to by the deposed negroes, claims it has no right to interfere with the decision of the Indian court. BOOKS IN A MUDDLE. 1 1 pert Report of Ex-Treasurer Min , to's Accounts. Salem, Or., Aug. 10. The report of the expert committee, appointed to as certain the ex-treasurer's standing with the county, whioh was given out by the oounty court today, corroborated the information before published and showed that besides the $1,577 held back in the First National bank, there was $741.45 wholly unaooounted for. The experts further said the aooounts were so badly oonfased and the meth ods so poorly adapted to the require ments that the offloe books would have to be rewritten for the period of the treasurer's inoumbenoy. The treas urer's receipts for the speoial school fund and taxes, amounting to $79,817, were not entered on the book of re ceipts and disbursements, nor was the payment thereon, amounting to $82, 114, entered.

In the month of June there was - no rain whatever, an un precedented fact in the history of that county in a number of years. The grass was burned before it ripened, and it is probable that not enough hay has been produced for home consump tion. , The first car of fruit which left The Dalles last week billed for Chicago, oonsisted entirely of peach plums. There were 800 boxes. .This, it it said, 48 the finest carload of peach plums that ever went out of The Dalles. This is because of tbe pack ing.
