The Bo?t Went Over the First Falls .All Right. Special to Tun Journal. Oregon City, Feb. 8. Four men were drowned here this morning, be ing caught in the current and swept over the falls. One man escaped. Mi.ny men employed In the paper mills on the west, side of the rlyer re side in Canevuh on the east side, go ingto and from their work In row boats. George Freeman, aged 50, and his three sons, George Freeman, aged 20; Harry, 22; James, 10, and L. 1. Shan non, aged 30, started across the river at 0:45 this morning, while a dense fog prevailed on the river. Harry Freeman, who escaped, was rowing. He states that shortly after leaving the shore, he discovered the course of the boat was not right and George Freeman took the oars, Harry going to the bow of the boat as a lookout. In a very short time, about three minutes.they found themselves on the brink of the falls about the middle of the river. They all yelled for help and grabbed hold of the boat, all re taining hold while the first fall was made. The boat was turned over in the second drop and George and Harry managed to hold on. The water was cold and chilled them thoroughly. The boat was caught in the current and thrown oyer toward the pulp mills Harry attempted to right the boat and his brother fell Into the water, sinking immediately. Soon after Harry reached the shore completely excausted, It was very dark and foggy at the time and objects 20 feet away were not discernible. The river where -the men crossed Is about 2,000 feet wide and Is not considered dangerous ordinarily. Dur ing the past three days the river has rioen rapidly, registering nine feet above the falls. At this stage the current Is very swift, about 25 miles an hours, ordinarily about 8 miles. The dense fog and exceptional rapid current caused the men to lose their bearings. George Freeman, Sr., was a member of'the Artisans, and leaves a wife and three children. L. I. Shannon, an A. O. U. W., leayes a wife and four children. In January of lastyear George Free man Sr. and E. W. Mldlamand Harry Freeman got caught In the current during a dense fog and and only suc ceeded In reaching the breakwater a few feet from the falls. They were escued but apparently the lesson did them no good. The river is being patrolled and watch kept for the bodies, but owing to the swift current little hopo Is en tained for recoyery. The boat was twenty feet long and is little Injured and being used in the search. m Female Fiend's Deed, New Yokk, Feb, 8. Insane jeal ousv nromnted the wife of William W. Place, an insurance adjuster of Brooklyn, to kill her 17-year-old step daughter tonight, and almost take her own life and that of her husband, Mr. Place returned home from Bur ness about 8 o'clock tonight, and up on opening the door was confronted by his wife. The woman appeared with a small ax. Before Place could recover from his aftonlshment, Mrs. Place dealt him a terrible blow on the forehead and another which In lllcted a terrible gash In the cheek. Mrs. Place then lied to her room, locked the door and turned on two jets of gas. Place secured help and the door was broken open Mrs. Place was found unconscious. The door of of the back room on the same floor was found to be locked and was broken open. Here was found Ida,her head having been spilt open witn tne ax, and there was also an ugly wound on the mouth. The girl had been dead about three hours. Place, though seriously Injured, will probably survive. Mrs. Place Is al ready out of danger. The father's preference for his daughter's society is said to have been the cause of fre quent quarrels between husband and wife. China Afraid To Borrow. London, Feb. 8. The Peking cor respondent of the Times, telegraphing yesterday, says: "l hayo reasons to oeneve tnat China will be Induced to decline the British proposals in consequence or Russia's opposition, and similarly that she will b: unable to accept the Russian propasals, owing to England's opposition. The county Is helpless and unable a to pay the Indemnity, ex cept by Installments; butChlna nurses the hope that Japan will agree to an extension of time. "Meanwhile, an Imperial decree authorizes an issue of treasury bonds at 5 per cent to the amount of 100, 000,000 taels, about 874,000,000.) It ap peals to the officials, the gentry and merchants to assist the Issue In the remote possibility of raising enough to meet the Installment due next day." It Is apparently Intended merely as a ruse to gain time. TO CIRCULATE SILVER. Tongue Introduces a Bill Retiring Small Notes. Washington, Feb. 8. Representa tive Tongue lias Introduced a bill amending the banking laws so as to provide lor the retirement of all $1 and $2 notes In paper. This would mean the circulation of silver dollars in place of these notes. In the cast there are few silver dollars in circulation. In the west silver circulates freely and $1 and $2 bills arc not very gen erally known. Such a bill as that In troduced by Mr. Tongue, would re lievo the treasury quite a great deal by sending the silver dollars into cir culation so they might do duty In much tho same way .as subsidiary coin. Chained Under the Flag. Portland, Feb. 8 William Sprig, a young German sailor, who not liking his treatment aboard the German ship Bethoyen, left the same. Day before yesterday morning he was ar rested in Portland, Oregon, by the German consul, kept in the Multno mah county jail all night, and In the morning his limbs were chained and lie was sent down the river to Astoria. What the fate and treatment of this young man will be the world will never know. Chained beneath the American flag he was taken like a brute back to the German ship in an American port, and hero the record will close but not hi s suffering. A Noble Spanish Lady Released. Minneapolis, Minn., Feb. 8. A Journal special from largo, N. D., says: Saturday night State's Attorney Fred Morrills secured a divorce for a Spanish lady. Cruelty was the ground upon which the decree was se cured. There was no tight made on the suit by her husbsnd. The plain tiff was Countess Marie de la Concep cion do la Cantcraby Clark de Gobely Fernandez. The defendant was Juan C. de Gobely Fernandez. They were married at Madrid in March, 18D2. The lady belongs to one of the old est and wealthiest families in Spain, and owns large estates in both Cuba and Spain. United States Minister Woodford resides in one of her houses at Madrid, ad the lady is second in rank and wealth only to the family of the pricmier. She came here several months ago, accompanied by a maid, and seems to have had a mortal fear of publicity. Not Uncle Sam's Affair. New York, Feb. 8 Other than to take measures to protect the Nicara guan canal commission from Injury, the administration will nflt Interfere In any way in the revolution in Nic aragua, says the neraid's Washington correspondent. The gunboat New port, which conveyed the commission to Greytown, Is still at that port, and the cruiser Alert is at San Juan del Sur making a survey of the harbor. If necessary for the protection of the members of the commission the com manding olllcers of these gunboats will probably land marines. Dead New York, Feb. 8. General John Cochrane dledlast night, at his home in this city. General Cochrane was, in 1804, nom inated for yiee-president of the United States on the Independent Re publican ticket, General John C. Fre mont being the candidate for presi dent. The Corbett Case. Special toJournal. Washington. Feb. 8. At the hour of going to press Tuesday, no vcte had been taken In United States senate on the question of seating Corbett of Oregon. Fight for Sio.ooo. The Journal received a special this afternoon that Tom Sharkey and Joe Choynskl are matched to fight at San Francisco, March, 11, twenty rounds for 810,000. Oscar Is All Right. Oscar Tay lor, the brick layer, who fell from the top of the Willamette Hotel, a dis tance of about ninety feet, Monday afternoon, was reported resting as easily as could be expected. Mr. Taylor suffers considerable pain from a severe bruise on his right hip while his right arm also causes him much pain. Mr. Taylor displayed re markable presence or minu in tailing as he grasped a number of cross pieces on the scaffolding, thu9 breaking the fall. Two Drunks. -Irving Cooper and 'Jeorge Stewart were this morning glyen five days each for drunk enness by City Recorder Ed N. Edes. The young men are unfort unately members of the militia and their punishment for last night's misdemeanor will In all probability not be confined to police court circles. Having Imbibed a quantity of liquor the boys proceeded to the armory where they proceeded to make merry. It was there that their arrest occured later In the evening.

C12 WRECKED BY CUBANS, Arangueren's Betrayer Has a Commission, REWARDED FOR HIS TREACHERY Spain's Reply to Be Made to Our State Department! Havana, Feb. 8. The insurgents dynamited a train in the province of Santiago de Cuba, destroying a llrst class passenger train car and at'other car loaded with cattle. Five passen gers were killed and 37 wounded. The Spanish version of the affair adds that the Insurgents afterwards attacked the train, but were repulsed by the tire of an escort until the arrival of reinforcements. Rewarded. NewIYork, Feb. 8. A special to the World from Tampa, Fla., says: Plo Rumero, who betrayed Aran gueren, has been commissioned a lieu tenant In the Spanish army fur that Service. Ramero who a scout of Ar angueren's brigade, and was captured b the Spaniards Ho was given the option of betraying Arangueren and getting $500, or being macheted. He chose to lead the Spanisli forces to where they could butcher Arangueren while he was practically alone. The Idea of Gomez going to New York to confer with the junta is scoffed at. Gomez could nut endure a trip Northdurlng the winter; further more, It would be far easier for the junta to send a delegation, If neces sary, to him. Spain's Reply. New York, Feb 8. The fact that Minister Woodford has not coblcd to the department of state the substance of Spain's reply to the last note of the state department Assistant Sec retary Day considers sutllcient evi dence that there is nothing startling in Spain's rejoinder, sajs the Wash ington correspondent of the Herald. Minister de Lomo-also-stated that ho was without Information regarding the latest Spanisli note. He has as sumed that there was no foundation for these national reports sent out about It. As understood here, Spalns's last note Is a continuation of correspond ence began last fall, and is in direct reply to the note sent by Secretary Sherman about five weeks ago, which Is devoted largely to a discussion of the steps taken by this country to prevent filibustering, the purpose be ing to prove that this country lias fulfilled all of its International obliga tions. It Is supposed that Spain continues her argument In support of her for mer position, to the effect that but for the aid given the insurgents by fili bustering expeditions from this coun try the war would have been ended long ago. This, however, is only sur mise, and the authorities will make statement on the subject until opaln's note has been received. Purpose Not Known. New York, Feb. 8.

She had a full supply of coal and provisions when she left. Austrian Cruiser Now. Havana, Feb. 8. A dispatch from Santiago de Cuba announces the ar rival there of the Austrian third-class cruiser Donau. Spanish Victorious. II AVANA,Feb.8. According to Infor mation from Spanish sources, a col umn of troops commanded by .Lieutenant-Colonel Hervas li'is been en gaged with an Insurgent force at Can alaveja, province of Santa Clara. After Indicting some loss on tho en emy, the Spaniard followed the in surgents In the direction of Arroyo Honda and later became engaged wiin 000 Insurgent infantry and 00 Insur gent cavalrymen, who occuple'J an entrenched position. The Spaniards, it is claimed, after some lively tiring, dislodged the Insurgents, who re treated with a loss of 27 killed, and leaving one wounded prisoner. The loss of the Spaniards Is said to have been insignificant. On Saturday several olllcers of the United States cruiser Montgomery, then at Matanzas, visited Cacorra, Matanzas, the residence of a ma jority of the reconcentradoa, dis tributing a considerable amount of alms, while other otlicers of the cruiser distributedalms in tho streets of Ma tanzas, In this case a majority of those relieved being children. A consider able number of rcconcentrados of all ages and sexes Invaded the United States consulate. Later In the day (Saturday,) the Montgomery sailed for Santiago de Cuba, to which port the Spanish gunboat Antonio Lopez lias gone. School District lection Notices Are Posted by the Clerk for Monday, March 14. Prominent Republicans Refusing to Sign Mr. Bingham's Petition. School Clerk Flagg today posted notices tor the school election to be held in Salem district, Monday, March 14, between the hours of 2 and 0 p. m. Thero will bo four polling plates, as follews: 1st ward, old engine house, 2nd ward. Savage & Reed feed store, 3rd ward Armory, 4th ward red front livery stable. The discussion of candidates Is go Ing on quite freely. John Bayne and W. T.Rludon refuse to bo candidates, both being prominent and active in political committee work. Archie Crosby is mentioned as a candidate by many of his ncighbors,hut like others who are named is not seeking the place. MR. niNGHAM still has a man out soliciting signa tures to overcome his native modesty and force him to become a candidate for school director. Many are refusing to sign because Mr. Bingham Is re membered us one of the most persist ent olllcc Miekurs In Salem, lie was twice knocked out of the council In trying to make a fifth ward aud get Into the council. He next wanted to go to the legislature aud was knocked out. Then he took chargeof John A. Carson as district attorney and again was knocked out. Then he forced himself upon the county court us a special advisor and his advice got the county into trouble, und lawsuits, and again he was knocked out before the grand Jury and In the courts. Now as Republican city chairman and director of the First National bank he wants to become tho legal advisor and finan cier of this school district. He smells an opportunity to niako a few thousand by getting Into his fav orite position of advantage where he would be on the inside and outside und for the bank and for the people and on both sides and all sides. Now that the finances of tho dis trict must be readjusted, if we are to reduce taxes, If wo are to reduce debts, und interest charges, and refund bonds, and keep up our schools, Mr. Bingham wantu on tho school board. vVlllhoact for the peoDlo? Or will he act for the banks? Will lie pro tect his own interests, bank Interests, hich Interests, or will ho labor unsel fishly for the people of the district? Alas, you know not Mr. Bingham If you suspect ho will labor for tho peo ple without pay ? No man can serve two masters. No man can bo director and attorney for banks und finance for the people. It Is a farce to hrlng out such a man for school director, but It Is a serious farce. No one can be mistaken about the meaning of Mr. Bingham's candi dacy. He Is to be nominated and elected by the push for political pur poses. The push wants him thero for what there Is In It. They will spend money like water to elect him. All the pull aud tho push, with all the carriages that can bo hired to haul voters to tho polls will bo employed to elect Mr. Bingham to an otllco that Monday we inaugurated EmDroiaeru For One . . . .
