Albert Hence Downing, a highway man arrested in Denver, Col., has con fessed that be murdered Joel G. Ash worth in that city and committed numerous robberies, besides having murdered a man in 1885 at San Jose, - Cal., and committed other orimes there. He promises to plead guilty to all the orimes which he has committed and says he wants to be hung.

Baron Nicholas Knebitsky, governor of the Russian fur seal islands, is in San Franoisoo on bis way to Washing ton, where he intends to present, through the Russian ambassador, the form of a new treaty between his coun try and the United States. It is ezpeoted that 10,000,000 salmon fry will be turned into the Columbia river this year. Of this number, 2, 000,000 will come from the Claokamas hatchery, 8,000,000 from Sandy sta tion, 8,000,000 from Little White Salmon, and 8,000,000 from the head waters of the Clackamas. - It is believed that 25,000 persons are without the necessaries of life in Guay aquil as a result of the reoent fire there.

Everything possible is being done to relieve suffering among those who have remained. : The grand jury has indicted eleven direotors of the Bank of Commerce, of New Orleans, which closed up last month with a loss of $810,000. Cash ier de Blano was also indioted for falsely swearing to bank statements. The indioted directors are some of the most important business men of the community. In. his annual report to the secretary of war, General Greely, the chief sig nal offloer, says the military telegraph lines running through mountainous and desert regions have been maitained in excellent order. The commercial busi ness over the lines has largely increas ed, and the receipts now amount to one-twelfth of the cost of operation of the entire signal oorps. An east-bound Union Paoifio pas ' senger train was held up a short dis tance east of Uintah, Utah,, near the mouth of Weber canyon, and about eight miles from Ogden. No passen gers were molested, the robbers con fining their operations to the mail and express oars.' The baggage and express oars were unooupled by the robbers and run ahead of the tsain a few hundred yards and both oars broken open. The robbers failed to open the safe in the express oar. Railway officials say the booty seoured was a few mail bags, but as a great portion of the mail was cor respondence between banks, inolosing exchanges and remittances, and always a good proportion of cash, the loss is . supposed to be of consequence. Foreign Grain Crop. The European crop reports of the agricultural department, issued by the chief statistician at Washington, shows that the crop of Great Britain has been somewhat reduced in the north and in Sootland by the persistent wet weather Of September, whioh practioally ruined most of the wheat then angathered. In the southern countries harvesting operations ' were oompleted before the bad weather set in, and the wheat is of a finer , milling quality than baa been known for years. A Dynamite Explosion. A large quantity of dynamite in a magazine of the Dayton Coal & Iron Company, at Dayton, Tenn., exploded, wrecking many buildings and destroy ing an eleotiro light plant, putting out all the lights. , The company store is a complete wreok. The debris was blown a quarter of a mile. - Terrell Make a Claim.

Ceoil Rhodes. Earl Grey, adminis trator the British South Afrioa Com pany, and other offloials had a final un derstanding with the Matabele ohiefs. Mr. Rhodes announoed to them that, after yielding up their arms and those of their number who had been guilty of murdering whites, the Matabeles must looate themselves in speoified dis tricts of the country. The prinoipal ohiefs would be held responsible' and would receive monthly salaries from the British Chartered South Africa Company. The chiefs all agreed to this proposition, and it is believed the whole Matabele trouble is now at an end. 1 . 1 - .. Hatchet Men are Doomed. The end of the highbinder days in San ' Franoisoo has oome. A dozen headquarters of the hatohet-men were destroyed, and the work of destruction will be continued. The agent of the oonsul-general overthrew the josses, broke down the signs and dismantled the headquarters where the hatohet men have been wont to meet, and the Celestial desperadoes are now homeless and hunted. This outoome is welcomed by all in San Franoisoo, for another virulent outbreak was expeoted at any time in San Franoisoo. Held Up by Women. Colonel Henry Spielman, of New York city, a wealthy merchant and. clubman, was held up by two women and robbed as he was leaving the Union League Club in Chioago.

An Infantile Crook. , Dennis Myron, of Chioago, is only 11 years old, but be has been arrested fourteen times and is now under sen tence to the reform school as a burglar. He grew up in that unsavory neighbor hood , known as "Little Hell," and about as soon as he wore trousers fell into the companionship of thieves and' toughs. He helped a woman in shop lifting, and then took up thieving on his own aooount. The Sherburne Robber. The Sherburne bankrobber confined in the Martin oounty jail, Minnesota, baa made a statement to the sheriff, whioh has been verified, giving his name as Lew Kellihan, and his home as Rook Rapids, la. , where his parents reside.

INDUSTRY GROWING IMPORTANT An ! Elaborate and A ccurate Report of ' the Statu of the FUhlng Industry tq Be Obtained for the Commission. San Franoisoo, Oct. 21. William A. Wilcox, df. Washington, D. C, statistical agent of the United States commission of fish and fisheries, has arrived from Oregon and Washington for the purpose of preparing a statis tical report of the fishing industry on this ooast. He has been industriously engaged in the pursuit of bis investiga tions and . inquiries in Oregon , and Washington several weeks, and will devote the 'next month or two to the work of gathering data oonerning the fish and fisheries of California. "Mr. Wilcox says that for several years 'past the fisheries of the we. t ooast of the United States had been growing in importance to such an ex tent that the United States fish com mission bad deemed it advisable and highly important that an elaborate and aoourate report of the status of the fish ing industry here be obtained, and he has been sent here for that purpose His report it calculated to prove of great benefit to the commercial fishing industries of . the ooast for the reason that it will show the need of more batoheries and a more, thorough stock ing of the streams and inland waters of the ooast states. He says it is highly probable that the United States fish commission will decide to establish half a dozen new batoheries in California before long for the reason that the fishing industry of the Paoifio ooast states, including Alaska, has grown until it ranks next to those of the New England and Mid dle Atlanito states in extent and im portance, while the value of the fishery produots is greater than in the South Atlantio, Gulf and Great Lakes states combined. '. Magnetic Power In Aerial Navigation. Boston, Oot, 21. An entirely new sohem'e- looking to aerial navigation and flight has been suggested by A. W. Nitsoh, of this city. It is such a decid ed departure from all the propositions heretofore advanoed for utilizing the atmosphere for purposes of transit as to command serious attention from scientists and others to whom it has been presented. Nitsoh is of the opinion that the subtle magnetio attraction that holds the needle of the mariner's oompass with unswerving fidelity to the north can be utilized in a magnified form for man's convenience, profit and pleasure. Accepting the theory advanoed that vast deposits of magnetio ore exist in the immediate vioinity of the north pole, and form there oome the magnetio ourrents distributed over the globe, and that it is the attraction of this thus far unbounded field that draws with magio power the needle of the comprsB, there is nothing, as be looks at it, to prevent its being made of real service. "I be lieve," said he, "that magnets oould be suspended in the air of sufficient foroe to counteract the resistance of the air, overcome the adverse currents and move more or less rapidly toward the north." -'"-' 3 , Got the Best of a Mob. Westohester, Pa., Oot. 21. Edward Brown, the negro who attaoked Mrs. Thomas Johnson in a suburb of Coats ville night before last, has been landed in jail. When the offloer took the cul prit to the railway station a mob sur rounded him and it was with the great est difficulty that he suooeeded in plac ing the soared negro safely on board the oar. Before the train started stones were burled through the oar windows thick and faast, and the pas sengers became terror-strioken and rushed in all directions to escape the flying missiles. One man was struok on the head by a stone and the whole side of his face was laid open, while a number of others reoeived slight cuts and bruises about the head and body. . Good News for California Farmer.. San Franoisoo, Oot. 21. There was a very lively day on the floor of the local produce exchange. Wheat is ad vancing on heavy orders from shippers. Three ships have been laden with wheat for Caloutta so far this month, and continued large purchases for ship ment in November and Deoember to Australia were also made. December wheat advanoed today 4 cents, and May -6 cents. Deoember closed strong at $1.30, and May at $1.88. Barley was also strong today, having advanoed from 66 1 for low point of September to 87 cents high point to day. If grain continues to advance, California farmers will enjoy a season of unexampled prosperity. ... Protected the Miner. Leadville, Colo., Oct. 21. About 125 miners from Missouri, to work the Bisen mine, arrived this afternoon. Over a thousand people about the depot jeered the newcomers. General Brooks had a large foroe of troops on hand to esoort the men to the mine and prevent an attack on them WEEKLY MARKET LETTER. Downing;, Hopkins & Co.' Review of Trade. Portland, Or., Oot 21. It basal ways been the olaim of old traders that numerous fluctuations increases specu lation. There is no lack of the latter, but the former does not appear to come to the front with , any degree of free dom, although there has been a decid ed improvement from the dullness that prevailed thirty days ago. There was enough aotion last week to suit any trader. Wheatvnoved within a rane of 7 oents, and to make the situation more favorable to holders, dosing figures were within a fraotion of the highest point. : There is a good tone to everything, and the tendency is gradually upward. The lowest prices this year have been seen, and the backers of both political parties claim that whichever way the election goes prices are bound to ad vance. There will be many sharp breaks from the bulges, and the opera tors who do not take too large lines and realize profits on all good bulges, and buy back on the deoltaes, will make a good deal ot money. We have enough of everything to supply our wants, and a good surplus of grain and hogs. The foreign situation is so strong that we will have a good mar ket at remunerative prioes for all that we can spare. The orops of feed stuffs in the United Kingdom are shorter than for years, and they are taking our corn and oats to make up the defici ency. Large purohases have already been made at Chicago and at the sea board of corn and oats, and bur exports are the largest in years, and give evi dence of exoeeding all records. New bull factors are consequently ooming to the front with surprising regularity, especially in wheat, and it has a tendency to create the impres sion in the minds of some operators tbet there is some mysterious force at work in the market, as it has lately been helped at the most opportune moments. Our crops of winter and spring were damaged at a time when they gave the best promise. Russian farmers in many districts were also unfortunate, as their favorable prospects have been out down.-. Now there are reports oom ing in that India's crop has suffered from drought, although there have been good rains in a few sections. The English colony in Caloutta is buying wheat in San Francisco for shipment to that port Australia also oontinues to buy wheat there. . Liverpool is evi dently working the wheat for Calcut ta, as they have the information in ad vanoe of other points. - Stocks of wheat in European ports are 32,000,000 bushles less than last year, but the quantity on passage is 1, 100,000 bushels more, having inoreased 6,000,000 bushels during September, Afloat stocks are also larger at this time than in five years, with the excep tion of 1898, when they were 5,000,000 bushels more. Stooks in store are the lightest in years, but it should be re membered that the tendenoy on the part of foreigners has been to work with lighter supplies. This makes the foreign situation strong. The world's available supply is the smallest in five years. : TWO CHILDREN KILLED. Another Fatally Wounded Thrown From a Wag-on In Wasco County. Arlington, Or., Oot. 21. Word was received here today of a terrible acci dent that ooourred near Thirty-Mile, in this oounty yesterday. A span of wild horses that were hitohed to a wagon, in which were the wife and children of Will Davis, ran away, overturning the wagon. Two of the children were killed, and another fa tally injured. In their flight, the horses ran against a tree, breaking the wagon tongue, and turning the wagon over endwise. Mr. Davis was not in the wagon, but bad tied the horses to a fence, from which they broke away.

Mrs. Rebecoa White, through Attorney E. F. Duffy, of Pittsburg, has entered suit in the Wayne, Mich., oourts against her father, Edmund Eearsley, and others for property aggregating about $900,' 000 in value. About seventy acres of the land lies in what is now the oity of Detroit, and was - divided and sold years ago. In 1887, Mrs. White claims ber father seoured her signature to papers signing away her interest in the property, telling her that she was signing papers of minor importance. Leibnitz, the great . G nan philoso pher, was almost equally great as a chess player. iff pacific m m A Resume of Events in Northwest. the EVIDENCE OF STEADY GROWTH New Gathered in All the Town of Our Neighboring State. Improve ment Noted in All Industries Oregon. The tax levy for Clatsop oounty this ear will be between 12 and 18 mills. The latest clean-up of the Virtue mine in Baker oounty, is estimated at $20,000. '.. , - It is expeoted that the distillery in Grants will be started up about No vember 1. :';;'''. -;" For the fourth time in four years, Crook oounty is the first oonnty to send in its assessment roll to the seoretary of state. - ; There are now 701 pupils in The Dalles publio sohools. This is the largest number ever enrolled at one time in that school distriot. The sheepmen of Grant oounty met in Canyon City last week and effeoted an organization similar to that of the Idaho Wool Growers' Association. In running a tunnel into the Blaok Republioan mine on Frozen creek, a tributary of Myrtle creek, the workmen have struck very rich ore, bearing oop per and gold. ' ; A phenomenal pumpkin vine was raised this year by a Dalles man. It covers a spaoe .as large as that between the four oorners of intersecting streets in The Dalles, says the Chronicle. It bears twenty-two large pnmpkins of an average weight of twenty-four pounds, to say nothing of the small ones, and hence has over 440 pounds of pumpkin. Henry Kemino, of Farmington, in Washington oounty, was attaoked one day last week by a mad boar. He was driving the hogs out of a stubblefield, when the infuriated animal rushed upon him and thrust bis tusks into 1 Kemino's thigh, above the knee, strik ing the bone and. lacerating the mus cles. If blood poisoning will not set in Mr. Kemino will recover. , Ben Hagen, a farmer living near Pendleton, came into that oity one day last week with a load of wheat. While descending Rourke canyon he found the straw that had been plaoed on the road on fire: He was into the fire before he discovered it The banks were too steep above and below, so that be oould not turn out, so he whipped up his team and ran his -horses all the way through the fire. It was rather hot, and four sacks of wheat were set on fire while the team was dashing through the flames. Tons of fish are going to waste on the beaohes in Uppertown and Alder brook, say 8 the Astorian. Within the past few days millions of sardines have been thrown up by the high tides-on the shore along the oity front, and it has appeared to spectators that some-' thing should be done towards packing this magnificent artiole of food. ' The fish are as fine in quality as any ever put up in oil, and it would seems that anew industry of renumerative and large proportions only awaits the en ergy of some praotioal man. - . ' Washington. Wild fowl are plentiful on Willapa harbor, and the run ' of silverside salmon over there has begun. All the traps and nets are having fine catches. The United States cirouit of appeals for the ninth distriot has decided in favor of the city of South Bend, in that city's oase against the water company there. 1 Bears are plentiful in the neighbor hood of the Coquitlam river, says the Vanoouver News-Advertiser. . A num ber have been shot by Indians within the past few weeks. '-.'. Waitsburg is now lighted - by elec tricity. The plant was, installed by home oapital and enterpirse. It has a oapaoity of 600 16-candle power lights, and will be run by water power. It cost Walla Walla oounty $500 to extradite and bring from the Indian territory Daniel White, a soldier, charged with seduotion, and then no oase oould be made against him be cause he married the girl. The big bear that is one of the fea tures of interest at the Taooma hotel, broke loose from his ohain last week, and it required the combined efforts of the hotel force, 500 spectators, and nearly a quart of chloroform to secure bim again. The harvest of the oranberry marsh near Ilwaoo will be about completed next week. The crop will be between 6,000 and 8,000 barrels of berries this season. So far, no frost has reached this section, and the crop will be one of the. largest, and the berries superior to any yet gathered. The farmers around Colfax have be gun seeding and the amount of fall planted grain which will go in this year will be greater than that of any previous year if the weather oontinues favorable. The rise in the price of wheat is stimulating the farmers to in creased activity, and nearly every inch of summer fallow land will be planted by eloction time. Wheat Took a Jump. Chicago, Oct. 21. Wheat made a reoord-breaking jump today. Decem ber option, whioh closed Saturday at 75 5-8o, opened this morning at 78 to 79 l-8o, steadying at the latter figure, an advanoe of 8i'o. The wildest ex oitmeent characterized the trading. There was talk of possible failures. After a momentary reaction to 79c, De cember wheat soon went bevond the top.' figureB, touching 79J several times within the first fifteen minutes of business. . Just before 10 A.- M. the market took a sudden plunge down ward to 78, reacting later to 78 s. Shortly after 10 the price receded to 78Jo, then within a few minutes it advance a full cent.

The significance of this act liei in the fact that King Leopold is the brother of the late Empress Carlotta, of Mexico, and his bestowal of the or der upon the president of the rebuplic is an indication that the Maximillian episode is now definitely closed. Presi dent Diaz has, as a matter of public policy, and as a means of drawing all parties and factions together and oblit erating the past, bestowed high officei . on distinguished adherents of the late empire, and has thus brought about an era of good feeling and fraternal senti ment previously unknown in Mxeico.
