New York, Jan. 1. A dispatch to the Herald from Key West, Fla, says: The 'startling Information lias reached hero by steamer that General Naceo is alive. It was leceivcdby waiting Cubans, on the warf, with Joy and U given .some credence. It is now stated that when Maceo fell from his horse nis followers thought him dead, but afterward found that he was still alive, but spread the report that ho was dead in orderto carry him off with safety. Under a strong cscoat, It is alleged, he was carried toSlgUnea hospital, where under the skillful treatment of doctors lie is recuperating. The acute period, it Is .slid, has now passed.flund he has only one serious wound, in the stomach Confirmed. Key West, Fla., Jan. 1. The wire of Insurgent Colonel Mirabel arrived here on the steamer Olivette, from Havana, en route to Tampa.

Senora MlraTjcl says four doctors are constant attendance on Maceo and are satisnea ne win recover, dud ix will be some time before ho ,wlll be able to again assume command of his forces. Palma Discredits It New York, Jan. 1. A representa tive of Dr. Palma at the Cuban Junta was asked today about tha dispatch from Key West, which alleged that Antonio Maceo Is alive and in a Cuban hospital recovering from his wounds, and also the statement that the wife of a prominent Cuban who had landed at Key West confirmed the statement that Maceo was alive. He smiled incredulously, and said: "You can say the Cuban Junta be lieves Maceo dead, and that he died in the manner described in the circu lar recently printed by the Junta. We have fully satisfied ourselves of his death." An April Fool Joke. Havana, Jan. 1. The correspond ent of the Associated Press made in quiries regarding the 'statements attributed to SenoraMirabet that she was informed before leaving Cuba for the United States that Maceo was alive. The Spanish officials quietly remarked that December 28, Monday last,was navana's'nnocent's union," otherwise April fool day. Rivera Wounded. Havana, Jan. 1.

Private advices received from Col onel Clrujeda say that at the fight which took place near Cayo Rosa -the Insurgent general, Silvero Sanchez, was among the killed. Trouble Expected, Perry, O. T., Jan. 1. The report from Washington that Secretary Francis would soon declare thd Wichita, Kiowa and Comanche Indian lands open for settlement has caused consternation among the cattlemen, and they will try to prevent early ac tion.

Goodyear, of Buffalo, appealed us a representaatlve or a eoiutiilmjffbf 0, appointed by tin lumbermen's con vention. The committee rymterday prepared an outline of a ftjrual peti tion to the ways and means 'commit tee which Goodyear said tvmlfd be presented later. Goodyear said that thu i tan It of the election had convinced thent'that pro tection was to bo the policy of the next administration, and tucluinber- f men demanded a share of Unit policy. They appeal ad. Goodyear; said, as represenatives of fully, 81, OOO.OOJ 000 capital, and 00,000 lumbermen, not including those engaged in, the retail trade of lumber or in the transporta tion of lumber. Ho though 300,000 of our people dependent on, this In dustry tor a llvelyhood should have some consideration shown' them. They did not come, Goodyear said, asking anything exorbitant. Substan tially what they asked In tio West was that white pine, hemlock, bass wood and sycamore be placed in the $2 class, the same as spruce, t With a graceful tribute to Senator Frye, Speaker Reed, Chairman Din gley and Mr, Boutelle ho announsed that it was through them that spruce the great staple product of Maine, had always previous to the present law, remained Ip the 82 claks.

New York, Jan. 1. R. O. Dunn & Co's. weokly report of trade says "There havo been more commercial failures in 1890 than in any previous year, except 1893, about 14,890 ugaiust 13,197 last year, with liabilities lof $225,000,000 against $173,190,080 last year, an Increase in the number of about 12 per cent, and In liabilities of 29 par cent. The year closes with an epidemic of failures, mainly ntaho West, and Jin banks, loan and trust companies or concerns dependent on them. The action of the clearing houses tn various places Indicates no want Of confidence, and several banks which have failed, will be enabled to pay iri full, but the disclosures of un-$ soundness in widely known institu tions, after the exciting contest on monetary Issues, has caused distrust and suspicions where it .Is frequently undeserved. "There has been no monetary pres sure to cause the trouble, nonhave Im portant western products declined In value. There has evidently been a too liberal assistance given by some fiductary concerns of speculative operation. No drain on eastern funds has resulted since the first alarm at the two largo failures, and tho money then sent out has all returned. The failures often grow more frequent as annual settlements approach. The holiday dullness has been Intensified by tho failures and the effort of a great combination to make new ar rangements. "With iron, cork, wool, cotton and hides all somewhat lower, there is an almost universal con fidenco that busi ness will soon become larger and safer than for a long time, and several large establishments, among them Yonkers Carpet Works, which employ 7,000 hands when running full time, and ttie Maryland Steel Co., will now start operations. Wheat has risen to the highest point sinco June, 1892." Still Another. St. Paul, Jan.l. A Grand Forks, North Dakota, special to tho Dispatch says: "The directors of the Second National Bank of this city, decided not to open for business. Tho follow ing notice was posted on the door: "On account of recent heavy with drawals of deposits and the impossiti lity of realizing upon our assets, it has been decided upon by our board of di rectors to suspend. The comptroller has been advised of our action." "It is said that, after tho failure of the National Bank of Illinois and the of Minnesota, the bank's deposits sus tained a shrinkage of $40,000. The statement of December 17, gave the loans and discounts at $158,086; due other banks and depositors, $179,749.70; jpital stock was $50,000,and undivided profits, $40,000.,r Annual Statement. New York, Jan, 1. Tho clearing house statement for tho year, shows. Exchange, $28,870,770,050; decrease, $971,021,809; balances, $1,792,086,480; decrease, $166,394,538. Tho banks in the association number 05, with an gregate capital of $60,772,700. Firm Suspends. San Francisco, Jan. 1. Barrett & Sherwood, the oldest and for a long time the largest retail Jewelry firm In California, have failed. Tho firm was started over forty years ago. The lia bilities will not exceed $10,000. Failure. Spokane, Wash., Jan. 1. W. J. Dunstan, owner of the largest depart ment stores in Spokane, has failed, and the store is in tho hands of tho sheriff. About u month .ago he gaye a bill of sale of his stock to bin brother and also made over his reul estate to him. The assetts .are $15,00 and tho liabilities are nnknowu. ' , St. Louis, Jan. 1 The dead body of Joseph B. McCullagh chief editor of thoGlobc-Deinocrat. was found dead at -0:30 Thursday morning, lying, on tho stone pavement beneath the win dow of his room In the residence, of his 8lstcr-lnluw, Mrs. Kate Manlon, at 3837 West Pine street. It is sup posed he flung himself from tho win dow his skull was badly crushed and his body otherwise injured. Joseph B. McCullagh was born in Ireland, and ffith his brother camo'to this country in his youth. His first nawapaper work was dotio In Cincin nati as a reporter and corespondetit of the Enquirer. Later he went to unicago and took tho managing editorship of tho Chicago Republican, a large daily paper, succeeding Charles A, Dana. He occupied this position until after tho Chicago fire, when lie went to St. Louis and took tho editorship of tho St. Louis Globe, which ilatcr consolidated with tho Democrat, and became the Globe- Democrat. No writings were found in McCul lagh's room explaining his act or leaving Instructions regarding his affairs. It Is definitely known that McCul lagh committed suicide, no had been quite melancholy for flye days past. Just before midnight his sister, Mrs. Manlon, went to his room to inqulro how ho was, and found tho gas stream ing from the burner, and McLullagh in a semi-conscious condition. She immediately stopped tho flow of gas and aroused McCullagh. This morn ing, after the body was discovered, tho gas was again found flowing at almost Its full force. The conclusion, reached therefore, was that after his sister-in-law left him fcr tho night he delib erately turned tho gas on again, but, finding death too slow by that means, opened a window and plunged head long to tho payement. Suicides. Montgomery. Ala,, Jan. 1 George B. Wilkins, vice-president of the Com mercial National bank,(of Selma, and which failed Tuesday, committed sui cide by shooting himself through tho head in the Episcopal church at Selma, at fonr o'clock this morning.

The Bank of Alma, at Alma, Mo., was entered early this morning by burglars, who blew open tho vault and secured about $2,000 in currency.

It makes your cakes, biscuit, bread, etc., healthful, it assures you against alum and all forms of adulteration that go with the cheap P brands. u Hop culture has become one of 'the leading indurtrics of tho Willamette valley. While a new buslriiw for tills state it has grown to such enor mous proportions and the quality oi Lthc product Is so fine that Its excel lent brewing properties arc leconnlzcd In all the large hop consuming coun tries, of tho world, and Oregon Is be coming famous a"s the natural homo of the hop. Fifteen years ago there were very few hops grown in Oregon and the "to tal out-put, of the state, did ulit ex ceed 5,000 bales of'about 200 pounds each, or about 1,000,000 pounds. Sinco then the business lias grown wonder fully.tho crop in tho year 1895 amounting- to more than 100,000 bales, or about 20,000,000 pounds. When tho Industry was In Its in fancy those growers who had em barked in it were uncertain as to their ability to compete with the "old and experienced growers, of the East, .but experience nas proven mat nops. can bo grown to bettcr'advantago in Ore gon than In any other country under tho sun. Fifteen years has brought a great many changes uud Improvements in the method of handling atd curing the crop. Tho crude drying kiln, made of rough logs with cracks wide enough to admit a man's hand, has given away to tho modern improved plastered kiln and tho man-killing hand power press is super seded by tho latest improved hydrau lic and horso power presses, while tho Improved railway facilities permits of direct shipment tp the largo brtiwerlcs In tho East and Europe. ' '' Tho rich alluvial soil- and mild' climate of this stato Is 'especially adapted to tho cultural hop9,fvThls is ovldenco by tho soft silky texture, tho golden yellow color and the deli cate aroma of the hops grown In Ore gon. This fact is appreciated In England, tho largest consumer of hops (n the world, and at the same time the most critical buyer. Oregon hops command a prlco In that country equal to their famous "Kentish Goldcns'' whose superior quality is acknowledged everywhere. Not alone docs the 6tato of Oregon excel in the quality, but it is a larger producer of hops than any other' stato on ttio Pacific coast, and is exceeded only by tho stato of New York Judging from tho marked increase, in tho out-put of this stato and tho phenomenal success of the Oregon hops, it will only bo a few years be- Continued on third page. uunri ea.. hum mm. fituvAVn.ooi.'aai) Q I SSil if I iiiiii i i j t K svssf'sv'
