Coming to HOUSE BUENBES ABE ABBOAD. The hop rioters' excitement con tinuea. Tula morning Geo. B.Miller, who Uvea on the Champoeg mad near French Prairie, called at thesherifl's office and reported that he bad re ceived an anonymous letter threatening to burn bla hop house and other prop erty if be did not drive all Chinese from his piece. He says Durette Bros, have received similar notice, and it is re ported here that the bop house of John Hoefer, at Champoeg, was burned last night. This is getting to be serious business and every efiort will bo made by the sberifl's office to quell the dis turbances and bring the law-breakers t Justice. Mr. Miller's yards, the same as many others, have been contracted to Chinese operators. The Mongolians say they would prefer white pickers to their own countrymen, but that they have no money to pay for picking, and hence have been forced to contract with Port land merchants, who will furnish pick ers and wait for their pay until the crop is marketed. Bam Harris, the ring leader of the Hubbard riot, was arrested yesterday, and as he is the worst of the agitators it la expected that little more will be ac complished. Sam Miller, the marshal of(Hubbard was not yet arrested this morning but may be brought up at any time. Bherlfl Knight went to Butteville last evening to be at the scene of opera tions and keep bis eyo open for any lawless demonstrations. The trial of the arrested men is now in progress at the court bouse. Dis trict Attorney Coudit, assisted by Bing ham & D'Arey, is conducting the pro secution, and the prisoners are defend ing themselves without any lawyer's advice, relying altogether on the evidence they expect to produce. Publlo sympathy was inclined to fa vor the arrested parties when the flrat eruaado was made. Ths repot ts that have today reached this city, that two hop houses have been burned, will do the cause of the crusaders uo good. It is also estab lished that other hop yard proprietors have received threatening letters. This being the caso thoso who have Inaugu rated the work of tilling the places of Chinese laborers with whltraare taking a coureo that deserves the coudemation of all law abldlug citizens and they should be punished to tho extent of the Jaw. If when honest laborers are out of employment and needing the necessa ries of life, they call upon tho Chinese In hop yards or elsewhere In an orderly manner and request their places, thero is nojury iu the laud that would (lnd them guilty of riot. But If incendiarism aud cruel per sonal yiolenoo Is resorted to, the case of the crusaders Is lost, aud the aggres sors must bo dealt with severely. Protect tho Chinese agalust wrong and violence and protect the honest white laborers against the Chinese, Is publlo sentiment. The court room la packed with speo tatera, including the county court aud many prominent citizens. J.O. Crawford, Geo. Taylor, Mrs, Harvey HInkle aud daughter, Mlsa sVuab, David Galautlue, Mrs. John Fawfer ad daughter, Miss Cora, came up hem Hubbard this foreuoon as wit- ikitb antl-Cblneademou&tratlon.

Some Observations Within Oregon's Prison Walls Slagle Confesses. Among the many things that appeal to human morbidity is a stale prison and Its inmates. To those who have the constant care of those places of incarceration, the regulation stripes bos no attraction, and the frequent scenes of some offender being for years and often forever shut out from the world, is common enough. But the average person, once within the prison walls, has a morbid curiosity to satisfy and finds himself studying strange faces and sometimes finds it necessary to draw upon a reserve of composure to keep down welling sym-patby-or force back an expression of horror as he looks into care-worn faces marked with lines of deep humiliation and long suffering, or beholds the brazen faces of the hardened dare-devil. Oregon's prison now has 341 tbat are considered unsafe to be at large in soci ety, and among them are found repre sentatives of most every phase of soci ety, from the low and vicious Igno ramus to the intelligent and cultured Intellect A Journal reporter spent an hour yesterday, looking through the various wards ot the state prison and observing the ways employed by the prisoners to while avay the time. There is no work going on except in the brick yard, where about seventy-five men are used only a portion of their time. The rest spend their time loung ine about their clls or on the grounds superintended by a guard. To force the more sluggish to take a rea sonable amount of exercise, those not engaged at work are required to march in the court between the shops and dormitory one hour in the forenoon and an hour in the afternoon. As they march with Irregular step along a beat en path they are indeed a motley crew, Some appear completely oblivious to the surroundings and move and walk with the unconcern of a wage worker. Others move at a gait tbat betrays a decided unwillingness and never lose a chance to casta look at a bystander. Some of the more industrious"nave util ized tbe vacant ground enclosed to grow tobacco and some vegetables. Tbe habit 8 and taste of each convict is easily read by a look into his cell. Some are very uncouth and careless about the appearance of their narrow home and would live beastly if not looked after by the authorities. Others are tidy and artistic and have their cells looking very attractive. A private conversation with these convicts, especially the more Intelligent ones,i8 appreciated by them and reveals the tendency of their nature and that which is uppermost in their hearts de sire. Tho writer was given the privilege of an interview with Slagle, tbe young man who was only this week com mitted for life. There is more written in bis face tban be has intelligence to impart in words. Once an innocent youth with dreamy black eyes, tbe lack of parental training and continued habits of vice, have dwarfed an intellect and distorted tbe features of what might have been a pleasant face. Raised in the mining districts of Josephine county, without the advantage of an edu cation, and his associations being thrown with the low and vicious, with no one to encourage him in ways that are upright, but companions to lead him into every vice, ho was at the early age of 22 hardened to the degree of skulking behind an innocent fellow man and shooting him down with im punity. He now confesses the crime and says be killed Antone Josephine In Jane because others persuaded him, that they might oonie into possession of bis property and having made himself a tool he got none of the spoils. This fel low don't yet fully realize that his liber ties are ended and expresses an anxiety to be given work to do. Among the intellectually enclosed who are wearing life away within pris on walla Is J. R. Todd, a U.S. prisoner who laser vine a life sentence for rob bing tho mail. Todd is a respectable looking personage, a tall slender blonde of rather commanding apperance, yet possessing a modest dignity. He la now In his 41st year having served ten years, three of which were iu shackles. When tbe attempted break waa made iu 1881, Superintendent Collins, or dered all life time prisouera shaokled and Todd was made no exception though he never made any attempt at escape himself or gave the officials any trouble. His health la falllug, yet his Jovial disposition makes him agreeable DPRICE'S (HOI The only Pure Cream of Tartar Powder.-No Ammoala; N Atwo. Used in UilUoas of Homes 40 Yrs tb fttwla4 and entertaining. Todd spends bis time in the soap factory where he has sole charge and never associates with the other prisoners. When speaking of his condition the tremor is discernible on bis lips and the flush is on bis face. There is perhaps no one In tbe prison who could enjoy freedom as much as Todd. W. F. Li v!ngstone,the school teacher who was Bent from Astoria is enjoying health and taking bis confinement philosophically. His face Is covered with a full black beard and bis gray eyes look fixedly on the person he con verses with as he chats with tbe dig nity be possessed when first made a prisoner. Livingstone has asked one favor of the officials that was perhaps never asked by any other prisoner, namely to be relieved of the honor of trusty and confined within tbe walls. When as Red why he wished to be de barred from tbe double privilege of see ing more of the world and cutting down the term of his sentence two days in one, be hesitated and asked to be ex cused from answering that question. No doubt the tempter bad appealed to blm very strongly and feeling bis power of resistance weakening, ho chose to be removed from tbe temptation of beak ing for freedom. 'Captain Saunders is looking remark ably well. Attired in light colored trousers and a blue sack coat, and hair parted and puffed faultlessly correct, he presented a very neat appearance for a life time prisoner. His cell is a model of neatness, accommodated with shelves and the walls are almost hid den with photographs of relatives and acquaintances. In and around this cell he spends most of his time, much of which is occupied in reading. Saun ders is always very sensitive of a visit or's presence though unlike most pris oners, never allows bis eyes to catch those of an observer until introduced by a guard. He has wblled away six years of bis sentence and has not abandoned all hope of sometime regain ing his freedom. When asked regard lug his hopes he replied, "There's not a prisoner here but realizes the truthful ness of tbe words 'Hope springs eternal in the human breast,' " and he hopes yet to some day bask unfettered iu beaven'u bright sunlight Tbe oldest inmate of tbe institution Is old man Stougbton, a strange combi nation of tbe laughable and pitiable. He is now In his 87th year and has oc cupied the hospital for several years. He carries a superabundance of flesh and his hair and beard are entirely white. He spends most of his time fitting at a window and gazing vacant ly into space as Fqther Time checks off tbe remainder of his portion day by day as he is rapidly nearing tbe sunset of life. He is not a living example of tbe hope expressed in Saunder's quota tion. The last spark of hope, he once cherished has faded out and he has re signed himself to die in prison. The old man has thoroughly schooled him self in finding fault and nothing goes to please him. "Bad enougbl bad enough!" is his answer to "how are you getting on;" and be can enumer ate a lengthy list of diseases, bis body is heir to. "Do yon have plenty to eat?" "No! Nol They starve me to death," the old man answered while the waistband of his pantaloons were sunken out of sight beneath tbe surplus adipose mat ter. "Do you find pleasure In reading?" To this question the old man sharply answered, "I do when I can get any thing to read. They wont fetoe have any papers or anything worth reading. " On being interrogated as to what he'd like to read he answered, "I want some Advent papers, I'm an Adventist I believe In tbelr principles. It is tbe Catholics that have always worked against me. They are the enemies that have kept me here." "Then you have no love for Catho lics," was added and the frail old con vict continued, "No, I'm antl-CatholIo and anti-strong as h 1," and aajhe fo porter left he was still pronouncing maledictions on the Catholics.
