Investigating the Ute Tronhle. Reached Cuba Safely. Swram Revenge on Weyler. Washington, Nov. 5.—The war de partment is investigating the recent reported uprising among the Utes in Utah. It has been practically decided to send an inspector from the interior department to investigate and report on the trouble. Havana, Nov. 9.—The long-expected dry-dock built in England, and spacious enough to accommodate the largest iron-clads, arrived here today. It oorsseu the Atlantic without damage. Havana, Nov. 8.—General Pin ar rived on the same steamer that brought General Pando. He is under arrest to answer charges made against him by General Weyler, who accuses him of extorting money from sugar-growers at Cienfnegos. General Pin swears that he will have revenge on Weyler. « A grain of fine sand would cover 100 of the minute scales of the human skin, and yet each of these scales in turn covers from 300 to 500 pores.

ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST from All the Cities and the Thrlvlua Sister —Oregon. Towns ol State* The brickyard at Weston has sold be tween 600,000 and 700,000 bricks this year. A hunter the other day brought in to Salem a Mongolian pheasant,the tail of which measured 21 inches. A farmer of Goshen has 900 turkeys in pasture at his farm. The turkeys eat, twice a day, two bushels of wheat. An Umpqua sportsman turned loose five pair of wild turkeys on the head waters of the Umpqua river the other day. Twenty Mongolian pheasants for breeding purposes have been shipped from the Wilammette valley to Harney county. A sperm whale came ashore on the Nehalem beach, near the Arch rocks, last week. The whale was about 65 feet long. The town oonncil of Marshfield has passed an ordinance which fixes a wharfage charge for all steamers that use the wharf at the foot of A street. The two warehouses in Mission, Umatilla county, have received 400,- 000 bushels of wheat this season. About half of this has been shipped. An artesian well that is being sunk on Fred Haine’s Cow creek ranch, in Harney county, is now down 480 feet, and the water has risen to within six inches of the surface. The work on the railroad bridge across the Santiam river, between Spi cer and Scio, is progressing. AU of the piers have been completed, and the other work is being pushed. Joseph Vey, a slieepraiser of Butter creek, Umatilla county, lost 900 of his 14,000 head of sheep while his bands were ranging on the mountains be tween Grand Ronde and Hilgard re cently. The sheepmen of Morrow county have made up a fund of $1,000 for the purpose of sending detectives into Grant county to ferret out and prose cute the persons who have been shoot ing sheep. It was reported in Salem last week that the surveying party now out in the Cascade mountains, back of the San tiam country, operating under State Senator Alonzo Gesner, of Marion county, had made a rich find of gold- bearing quartz. The warehouses in Elgin are getting so full of grain that a night force has to be used to pile each day’s receipts up higher, so as to make room for the next day’s business. Unless more shipping is done soon, it will be neces sary to raise the roofs. Three families of Norwegians ar rived in Coquille a few days ago, ad ding to the population, somewhat. One family brought nine children with them, while the two others reported 24 cliildien—the grand total for the three families being 33 ahildren. The sheriff of Crook county has been enjoined from collecting the 1 per cent on delinquent taxes ordered by the county court. The court held that county courts have no authority of law for imposing any penalty on delinquent taxes, other than the necessary costs of levy and sale of property. Washington. The town of Grey,in Whitman county, is to have a flouring mill. The Adams County bank paid out $80,000 for wheat last week Yakima orchardists are offered 80 cents a box for apples this year. Pasco horse dealers shipped 250 head of “beef” horses to Linnton this week for the cannery. The Spokane city sinking fund com mission has recommended the issue of $300,000 in municipal bonds to takeup outstanding warrants. Throughout Eastern Washington thousands of sacks of wheat are lying in the fields, because of the lack of storage room in the warehouses. In Sprague 5,000 bushels of wheat are being marketed daily. The Sprague roller mills do a business of $300,000 annually, and the business men want a bank. The Northern Pacific Raiiway Com pany paid to the Cowlitz county treas urer last week $2,105.92, which was one-half of the company’s personal taxes for 1897. The Moxee Company, in Yakima county, is trying a sagepuller that re quires four horses ami two men to op erate it. but the machine clears easily six more acres a day. It is reported in New Whatcom that B. A. Seaborg, of Astoria, who owns five Columbia river salmon canneries, has decided to establish a large cannery in Whatcom county, and is r.ow pre paring to commence construction, but has not determined whether to locate at Whatcom or Blaine. A mast and part of the deck of a ship have washed ashore at the Westport bathhouse. They are supposed to be parts of the Orion, the vessel that was run down a few weeks ago. There are now 374 prisoners At the Walla Walla penitentiary. At the jute mill extensive repairs are still going on, 50 prisoners being employer!. The mill will start about the middle of Novemlier, and will run all winter. Thirty persons are engaged in hauling clav from near Dixie. About 1.000,- 000 brick are on hand at the vard. ber delivery it is simply a matter of opinion whether to assert the market is manipulated or not. The latter supposition is the more reasonable. Stocks of contract wheat have been ex- h lusted by the unprecedented expt rt and interior demand. High values ob taining have induced speculative short sales, with the resulting condition of a constantly oversold and congested mar ket. Granting all of which to be true, the general conditions which ordinarily control values are so extremely favor able to high prioes that it is a matter of great doubt as to whether specula tion has played any important part in advancing and maintaining values. Export clearances of wheat and flonr for the week have been large. The ex- |H>rt demand continues urgent and promises to increase rather than di minish. Stocks at market centers show but a small increase for the season compared with previous years, al though the forward movement of the crop has been unusually large. Receipts at primary points are beginning to fall off, and it is becoming more and more apparent that the spring crop of the Northwest ha« been over-estimated. The continued drought assures only a moderate acreage seeded to winter wheat, and that under favorable condi tions. Crop advices from Argentine continue conflicting and contradictory. Advices from Australia assert that their crop will be below an average and give no surplus for export. France continues to buy wheat freely. From til I reports, public and private, it is a certainty that European stocks are un usually small and European require ments abnormally large. The prospect for the immediate future seems to fully warrant present values for wheat, and should any disaster overtake the Argen tine crop it is probable that they will be fully maintained if not materially advanced during the balance of our crop year. The situation regarding corn values shows a decided improvement during the week, although still possessing ele ments of radical weakness. Stocks, al ready larger than ever before recorded, show no immediate signB of decreasing. On the other hand, the cash demand, both for home consumption and ex port, show* a gratifying increase. Val ues are now 15 cents per bushel below an average for the last ten years, and the new crop is certainly below an av erage in yield. There is little to war rant a decline in supplies. sinate the president of Brazil, Dr. Prudente Jose de Moraes. The presi dent’s brother, an army officer, was probably mortally wounded while shielding the chief executive. General Betancourt, minister of war, who was one of the president's party, was shot and killed. Rio Janeiro is now under martial law, every soldier having been ordered to arms, and it is feared another reso lution is at hand. The attempt to kill the president, and the killing of the minister of war, it is believed, ia the work of monarohial sympathizers. Another rumor is that they were the result of the feeling aroused by the proposed arbitration treaty with France. Wild excitement prevails in the city. Startling rumors are heard on all sides. The belief is general in certain classes that the followers of Antonio Conseil- heiro, the leader of the fanatical move ment, who was recently killed in Canudos, have invaded Rio to strike their first blow for revenge. It was the day set apart by President Moraes and hie cabinet to do honor to Rrear-Admiral Barbosa, one of the con querors of Conseilheiro’s friends in Canudos. Admiral Barbosa was ons nt the chiefs of the Brazilian troops who several weeks ago hacked and Bhot down thousands of the followers of the fierce Conseilheiro, who had gathered bia forces in Canudos. It was believed then that the crash ing defeat of the fanatics there and the death of Conseilheiro had put an end to Brazil’s monarchial enemies. Thousands of persons gathered to see President Moraes and his cabinet extend publicly the thanks of the republic to Barbosa and his troops, just returning on the steamer Canudos. Many mem bers of congress and persons high in naval, military and ecclesiastical circles were present, as were also the diplo matic representatives of several foreign countries. The victorious troops were passing in review before President Moraes, when a soldier dashed out of the naval arsenal toward the president’s party, drawing a dagger as he went. Fearing his intention, and unable to stop the soldier, Colonel Moraes, brother of the president, stepped between the executive and his assailant, and tried to ward off the dagger thrust. In thia he was successful, but the colonel re ceived the dagger in his own body, the soldier in his frenzy striking sevestfT’ times before he was seized by thosrixax* Portland Market. the rear.
