There is some thing which is mysterious going on in what it known as tbe settlement of tbe Behiino- - sea Question. It tbe scene of tbe negotiations were at a state capital, there would be very sensational charges made, and for that matter, perhaps, even dignity of some officials' position may not save tnem irom preiiy severe reflections before tbe matter is over. There teems to be a very strong desire to prevent a public expression on tbe find ingt of the commission. There is no reason for this unless somebody is going to be benefited. There are also a gnat many charges made in different organs of tbe administration that it is tbe English commissioners who are wasting time and refusing to meet the American commissioners and get down to business, This is not trne. It is not tbe JSoglisn men who have held back the investiga Hon or who have asked for secrecy. Tbe English commissioners, oir Baden Powell ana ur. uawson, nave Deen in tvasoing-to- n ten days anxious to begin comparing notes and ty consult with the American commissioners Messrs. Mendenhall and Merriam. Some mysterious influences have kept the tour men apart, and it was not until yesterday that tbey were al- lowed to meet official y in what was called an "informal conference." Tbe conference was behind closed doors. It is impossible to get tbe English commis sionert to talk on the subject, but it is known that they favor open sessions. Tbe state department, however, will not for some reason agree to this step. Tbe Englishmen, while not complaining and have not been bonnd to secrecy, feel keenly tbe misrepresentations of their intentions and disposition printed in administration organs. Tbey have been claimed as those who desire delay fox putting off the conferences, wben as a matter of fact tbey have tried tbeir ut most, but in vain, to meet tbe American commissioners to begin work. With the sealing season already begun there is great need of immediate action, and no need for secrecy. ' Outsiders who know what is going on, and bave the proser vation of the seal fisheries at heart, are loudest in their demands for open doors and constant conferences until tbe matter is settled. . An Indian Trajcedy. North Yaxxka, Wash., Feb. 13. The Oregonian correspondent today received tbe news from Fort Slmcoe, tbe head quarters of the Yakima Iadian agency, of a tragedy which occurred there Monday. Frank Abraham, a youug Indian, had been found guilty of adultery by the In dian court, and sentenced to pay a fine of $30. This aroused tbe blood of the young buck, and, drawing a huge knife. in court, be cursed both judge and sheriff. and swore tbat be would neither pay the fine nor be taken alive. Brandishing bis knife, be fought bit way out of the court- room, mounted bis cay use, and in com panv with another Indian charged with the same crime, took flight towards the mountains. Tbe court ordered the reser vation sheriff. Franklin P. Olney, also an Indian, to follow and arrest Abraham. Olney came up with the fugitive a half mile away, as be was in tbe act of dis mounting, and ordered him to surrender. At this, Abraham picked up a club, and grasping tbe reins of tbe sheriffs horse, was about to brain tbe officer, wben tbe latter pulled bis revolver and tired. The bullet took effect in Abraham's left breast and passed diagonally through bis body, producing deatb soon afterward. Tbe dead Indian's friends are in a state of great excitement, and threaten to anni hilate both judge and sheriff. Olney is now in biding, tearing (or bis life. The Cause of the Wreck. Astoria, Feb. 13. Before British Vice-Cons- ul Cherry this afternoon ap peared the three sailors, survivors of tbe wreck of tbe Ferndale near Gray's Harbor January 18, who made tbe following statement: The vessel sighted tbe Cape Hancock light at tbe mouth of tbe Columbia River at 4 A. x. tbe 15tb of January. She stood off shore and kept on the starboard tack till tbe 26tb, again sighting land and standing off. Tbe 27th the captain tried to take an observation, but tbe weather was too thick. At 2 a. v., the 29th, it was blowing a southwest, gale.1- - Tbe vessel was beadiog southeast, wben at 3 o'clock the struck,' tbe captain being below. An unsuccessful attempt was uiauo w ware me nuip auu iucu .SltilVSfi rigging and others taking to boats, wbicb were immediately swamped and tbe oc cupants drowned. Several stripped and jumped into tbe tea. Only three reached shore alive. Tbe men all swear tbat at no time while off tbe coast wat tbe lead hove or any order given for it. Free Colnase. Washington, Feb, 12. The silver men. bave some eight or ten peiititions in circulation on the Democratic side of tbe boute urging tbat tbe silver bill be made special continuing order, and said tbey had early today selected about 100 a signers. There are doubts entertained as a to tbe expediency or tbe pennon move ment, but tbe silver men mostly believe a may advance the consideration of the bill, and are doing wbat tbey can to bring the matter to an issue early a the session. Tbe anb-ailv- er men are urging delay. and working to tbat end in tbe hope that tbere may be developments which will aid tbeir cause and enable them to find some way out of tbe difficulty. Tbe free-- coinage men are in favor of tpeedy action, and say tbat on political grounds alone, aside from monetary principles, the sooner tbe issue is met tbe better. The rules committee has not yet taken up tbe subject. Tbe people's party in tbe house bare joined with tbe tree-coina- ge people in demanding prompt considera- tion of tbe Bland bill. Boy Slaves In Ohio. Cleveland, O., Feb. 12. On Broad way, in a little wretched room, llvet John Vidral, a Slavonian slave-owne- Vidral wat arrested today on a warrant sworn out by Peter Misknsh, who charges, bim with assault and battery. Tbe boy said that nine months ago Vidral bought him of bis mother in the old country, promising to pay $16 a year. He was brought to Cleveland, and with nine ' other boys was taken to No. 505 Broad way. Tbey weie made to sleep oa the floor in dirt and filth, and were given two of meals a dav of black bread and coffee. Early every morning tbey were started out with a load of tinware. If tbey did not bring back enough money, be said Vidral beat tbem with a strap. Vidral will be charged with violating tbe United States contract law and with cruelty to in children. . A Hew Wool Bill. . Washington, Feb. 13. The Demo cratic members of the ways and means committee held another prolonged con- ference on tbe Springer wool bill today. Tbe result was an agreement on tbe rates of duty to be imposed on the manufact ures of wool, The Democratic members have always agreed on the proposition tbat wool should be admitted free of duty, but bave differed to some extent as to the rates which should be imposed upon manufactured wool. Tbe result of tbe conference was favorable to the low tariff members of tbe committee, reducing all duties below 40 percent, under the pres ent law, as well as those above 40 per cent. 1 be agreement reached has yet to be voted on as a whole, tbe action today being on each paragraph ot the wool and woolen schedules, separately. The great est rate ot duty provided for is 45 per cent, on ready made clothing, dolmans, jackbts, ulsters and wearing apparel, on which, under tbe present law, 60 per cent, duty it Imposed. These are articles left above 40 per cent., which was tbe uniform rate proposed by tbe Mills bill on woolen manufactures of all kinds. Tbe greatest redaction was made from tbe 40 per cent, duty, under tbe Mills hill, on. cheap blankets, woolen hats and flannels for underwear.- - This was cut down to 25 per cent. The agreement by paragraphs is as follows: "On woolen and worsted yarns 35 per cent.; tbe rate under the McKioley law is 35 and. 40 per cent, on woolen or worsted cloths. Shawls, knit fabric and all fabrics made on knitting machines or frames, and all manufactures of every description made wholly or in part of wool, or worsted, not specially provided for, 40 per cent., tbe present rates being 40 and 50 per cent., according to tbe vslue. On blankets, hats, wool and flan nels for underwear, composed wbolly or in part of wool, valued at not more than bO cents per pound, 25 per cent., against a present duty under tbe McKinley law of 50 per cent, ad valorem, valued at more than 30 cents per pound, and not more than 50 cents, 80 per cent, ad va lorem, against a present rate of 85 per cent., valued at more tban 50 cents per pound, 35 per ceut.. ad valorem.- - On women's and children's dressgoods, coat ings, buntings and goods of similar description, 35 per cent, against a duty under tbe McKinley bill of 50 per cent Clothing ready made and articles of wear ing apparel ot every description, cloaks. dolmans, jackets, and other outside gar ments for ladies and children, 45 per cent, ad valorem, against tbe McKinley rate of 60 percent. On webbings, goring, suspender braces, beltings, bindings, braids, gallons, fringes, gimps, cords, cords and tassels, dress trimmings, laces and embroideries, buttons, head nets 40 per cent, ad valorem, against tbe present rate of 60 per cent. On carpets of all descriptions, druggets, carpetings, mats, rugs, screens, covers, art squares and other portions of carpets, 30 per cent., as against tbe present rate of 40 per cent, on all except carpets and carpetings, not specially provided for, which is placed at 50 per cent, under tbe McKinley law. in addition tbere is no per pound nor per square yard duties imposed, these being wbat are known as compensatory duties, given because of the duty on wool, wbicb it is proposed now to admit free. The only section of the Springer bill not considered is tbat relating to shoddies. The conference will meet again Monday to prefect tbe bill and reach an agree- ment on it as a whole. Messrs. Sbively and W tilting were not present The Cascade Locks. Washington, Feb. 14. The senate committee on commerce at tbe last meet ing commenced the consideration of Sen ator Gibson's bill for the improvement of tbe Mississippi River, and Senator Dolph's bill for the improvement of tbe Columbia. Tbe hearing was concluded at a special meeting yesterday. Senator Dolph was authorized to report favorably his bill appropriating $1,750,000 for tbe completing of tbe canal and locks at the cascades of tbe Columbia, with a proviso tbat no more tban one-thir- d of the total appropriation should be expended in any one year. Tbe provision ot bis dm tor tbe construction of a boat railway was stricken out, because a bill for tbat pur pose has already been reported from tbe committee on transportation routes to tbe seaboard, and is now on tbe senate calen- dar, f be sections making appropriations ior the mouth of tbe Columbia and tbe Lower Willamette and Columbia were also eliminated, as tbe committee be lieved tbat adequate appropriations could be provided for those improvements in the river and harbor bill. Senator Dolph was instructed to make a written report, which be is preparing and will endeavor to submit to tbe senate tomorrow, ihe senator says tbe bill making an appro priation for tbe Mississippi may meet with favorable action in the bouse, on ac count of the great number of persons in terested, but be greatly fears be will not be able to secure favorable consideration there for bis bill for the completion of tbe Cascade locks. He will make an effort and hopes to secure in tbe nycr and barbor bill the provision for the comple tion of the Cascade locks. He bad the assurance wben the last river and barbor bill passed that be should receive at least one Colombia mver improvement, a similar provision to tbat given to Galves- ton and Sault Ste. Marie, and no doubt the senate will accord him that favor. Tbe only danger is that tbe house confer ence will not agree to it. Senator Dolph called General Casey, chief of engineers, before tbe committee, who explained tbe present condition of all tbe works for tbe of Columbia River, and said that, he bad not particle of doubt of tbe practicability of boat railway. Tbe tact tbat the city of Portland is expending $500,000 to secure deeper channel to tbe sea, and that tbe state bat built a portage road .at the cas- cades, elicited much favorable comment from tbe committee members. of The Kan lo an .Impostor. Vandaua, II)., Feb. 13. Information of bas Deen received here from Helena, Mont., to the effect tbat William A. Short, formerly a well-know- n citizen of this (Lafayette) county had been murdered by Peter wood, and tbat one A. Short. who claimed to be a relative of the murdered man, bad put in a claim for bis estate. William Short lett here about fifteen years ago, and nothing bad been heard of bim since then by bis relatives here. Short bad no relatives in Montana, and tbe Z. A Short in question is an assumed character. Tbe murdered man's mother Mrs. Hillroy Buckmaster, lives four miles north of Vandalia. His brother, Dr. Short, residt at Bingham, in this county, and bis sister, Mrs. George Stokes, Uvea near Ramsey, in the north- ern part of the county. an Killed. In a Tmaaiel. Seattle, Wash, Feb. 14-.- Three of the men working in tbe great Lake in Union sewer tunnel, in the northern part this city, were caught by a flush of water from a spring early this morning, while 1200 feet from tbe mouth of tbe tunnel. One of them, Daniel McLean was buried six feet under quicksand, and another, Thomas Nelligan, wat rescued an exhausted . condition, while tbe third, Peter Faber, though severely in- -' jured, escaped to the shaft, where, upon being pulled Beventy feet to tbe top, ne told the story of tbe accident. The early morning shift was just preparing to go down to work, and wat assembled around tbe mouth ot tbe shaft wben Faber came up. Tbey were immediately lowered to the rescue of Nelligan aad McLean. Nelligan was found in the water and sand up to his neck. He was wedged in as if packed in cement and it was with difficulty be was taken out. Nearly twenty men are at work looking for Mo lean's body, but it was not found until 10 o'clock this morning. Tbe place where tbe spring wat struck is 120 feet beneath tbe surface, and tbe men were at work in a sixty-to- ot lead, on tbe main tunnel, when the accident occurred. Immedi ately after the spring flushed the lead, tbe tunnel flooded with water, and the rescuing party worked in quicksand to tbeir middles. The tunnel superintend ent says it is a miracle tbat all tbe men were not lost. McLean leaves a widow and three children. Result ot a Patrimonial Advertise ment. Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 12. Thomas L. Rodgers, bookkeeper for a Wood-stree- t furniture house, some months ago, in a spirit of fun, advertised for a "lady cor respondent." Among tbe answers wss one signed Freda Ward. Rodgers ex changed pictures with the writer, and continued to correspond with tier regularly. After tbe Memphis tragedy Rodgers was surprised to discover fiom tbe published pictures of Miss Mitchell, tbe murderess, tbat she was bis corre spondent, and tbat she bad been writing under cover of her friend's name. Be sent ber last letter to tbe Memphis chief of police, and this led to the report tbat a man was mixed up in the case. Tbe police have concluded tbat Rodgers bad no knowledge of Miss Mitchell's murder ous designs, and be will probably not be troubled. He is greatly worried over tbe notoriety he gained, and says he Will never advertise for another correspondent. Suicide at Drain. Drain, Or., Feb. 14. This town was startled about 10 o'clock this morning by the suicide of James Ward. No cause for tbe act is known. His little girl, 11 years old, beard a noise in tbe room where he and ber mother were. On go ing into tbe room she saw ber mother on tbe floor, with blood all over ber face and ber father piling chairs on ber.

Immediately a shot was fired and Ward was fonnd ly ing on the floor. He had shot himself through tbe brain. Ward is an old resi dent of this county, having lived for many jears near Comstock. He bad always been considered a quiet, citizen. The Real Cause of the Trouble. Santa Fe. N. M., Feb. 12. The real cause of the trouble between tbe Navajo Indians and the . cattlemen in western New Mexico is attributed to the nig gardly manner in which tbe government has ' treated this tribe, in not providing them witn sufficient food and clothing. Tbe Indians bave long been allowed to rove off. tbeir reservations, and are ac customed to killing range beef for food wherever night may overtake them. At many points along the border ot Arizona also are country stores wbere liquor it sold to tbe Indians as readily as to tbe whites, and the Indians engaged in Wednesday's row are said to bave been intoxicated. Cattlemen are arming them- selves and are determined to drive the Indians back to tbeir re ervation, but tbe presence of United States troops from Fort Wiogate will prevent anything ia tbe nature of an outbreak. A Sad Kndlns;. West Berkeley, Cal Feb. 14. A peculiarly sad accident happened last evening at Posen btation, near here. Francisco Jose Bispo, a rancher at La fayette, was married at St. Joseph's church to (Jondita Sylvester, a Portu guese girl, only 17 years of age.

Suddenly the overland train, wbicb does not stop at tbe station, dashed around a curve through a cut. into tbe party. Bispo and Mrs. Bilva, a friend of tbe bride, were instantly killed, while tbe little boy was dangerously wounded. The bride's grief wat heartrending. Reciprocity With Canada. Washington, Feb. 15. Sir John Thompson, Hon. George E. Foster and Hon. Mackenzie Bowell, Canadian com- - miesioaers, closed their negotiations with Secretary Blaine and General Foster this afternoon and left this evening for Ottawa. The state department officials refuse to make known tbe result of the conference, but it is believed the visitors were unsuccessful in their mission. beeanse of tbe alleged failure to satisfy the represantatiyes of this government that tbey were autbonzed to make a ia commercial treaty entirely independent tbe direct interests of Great Bntain.

Arlington Record: M. Fitz Maurice, of Fossil, called st this office Tuesday, and his large bands of sheep in that sec tion as doing well. Says, there is little trouble from snow, but that the exceeding ly wet .weather has greatly damaged tbe old crop of grass, i itz is one of our solid sheep raisers. Next Friday and Saturday a very enter taining teachers' institute will be held at Dufur. A very interesting programme has been prepared, and a most enjoyable time may be expected. These institutes are ed ucational, not only to those engaged in teaching; but to communities, and should be patronized by all. Mr. Stacey Shown has received a com plete assortment of clocks and watches of the latest pattterns, which will be sold at the lowest prices. Mr. Shown has demon strated the fact that be thoroughly under- stands the mechanism of watch-repairin- and when his goods arrive will have as complete an establishment as there is east of the Cascade mountains. Tbe new drug firm of Byrne. Floyd & Co. are daily making improvements in their businesa, and are determined to bave every tbiug first-clas- s in tbe business.

He is one of the most eloquent pulpit orators in America, and can hold an audience spell bound by bis The work on the church is being rushed, forward rap-idly- , and will be occupied for divine ssr vice at an early day. It will be a most commodious edifice, with basement for Sun day school and meetings and auditorium and gallery for services. The entertainment given last evening by Frot. Alexander and Mr. Dan. Lewis, the. colored ohuracter delineator, at the court house, was quite largely attended, and the performance was quite excellent, rrot, Alexander found two apt subjects tor hyp. notism, and acted on them in a manner to greatly please the andience. Ihe character sketches of Dan Lswis were mirth-provo- k ing in the extreme, and in many of his de- lineations he kept the audience in a roar of laughter. He is undoubtedly an artist in this line that it is difficult to excel. The case on trial to day in the circuit court is State of Oregon vs. Al Mesplie, in. dieted for robbery from the person.

Leonard Cole, of Huntington, is under arrest at Baker City for placing his father's name to a note of SlsUU. . Uole tormeny re sided in Malheur county and was ths nom-iue- e of the Republican party of that coun ty two years ago tor the odice ot tnerirx. Lately he bas been conducting a butcher shop at Huntington. About two years ago it became necessary for the young man to raise some money, and in an unguarded mo ment be placed the name of his lather, Mr. J. L. Cole, ot. a note in the sum of $1800, and then sold the instrument to Mrs. Mary Richardson. Tbe note finally passed into the hands of H. Dale. Dale presented the note for payment to Mr. J. L. Cole, but re ceived no satisfaction from him, hence the a arrest. From Monday! Daily. Mr. Wm. Kelsay, of Antelope,- came in town y. Mr. A. D. McDonald, of Wasco, is on our streets Mr. James Thompson, of Colfax, Wash., visiting friends and relatives in the oity. Mr. D. C. Ireland, a pioneer newspaper man of Oregon, is at the Umatilla House. Tbe middle ot February bas passed, and no more wintry weather will be experienced this region. All members of A and C companies who bave not received their uniforms thould call the armory immediately. Now tbat the new uniforms and equip In ments have been received members should it call at the armory and receive tbem. Mr. Frita KeudelL travelling correspond of ent of the Illinois Stoats-Zeilung- , published Chicago, ia canvassing the city y. A correction has beeu made by the Prineyille eto tht that town had only fonr lawyers, instead of six.- - What are the other two? East Oregonian: Tbere is a paper slowly dying at Tbe Dalles. For several months bas struggled against fate, but tbe death rattle could not ne ansa en out oi in luruat. Its mission on earth was poor, and its bfe bas only beeu tbe sum total of its mission. Tbe east-boun- d passenger train, due in this city Saturday midnight did not arrive until 11:40 Sunday morning. The delay wat caused by a rock slide near tunnel three. It took several hours for the wreck ing car to remove the debris before any train could past. Fnneville News: .La informant tells nt that on account of deep snow, it bas been impossible to cross tbe mountain between Maling't mill and Mckay tinea January 25. Mr. James Ezan crossed said mountain on Thursday of last week with three yoke of cattle and a wagon. The snow, he says, it from 17 to 28 inches deep. The atockvards at the East End have been doing a rushing business during tbe last few days. There are carloads of cattle to be fed daily, and nearly all the beef, veal and mut- ton used by Portland and the Sound comes through this city. This factor of develop- ment, through the enterprise of Mr. R. E. Saltmarshe, baa been largely developed, and to-d- it is 'one of tbe great industries of Eastern Oregon. Elgin Becorderi D. M, Lowe, teacher of the Pleasant Hill school, Elgin precinct, narrowly escaped being burned to death Wednesday evening.- - it appears inai cat. ill Lowe has been afflicted with heart trouble recently, and while moving around the room with a lamp in bit hand, he wat taken with fainting spell and fell oyer on tbe floor, exploding the lamp and letting fire to the house, and bad it not Deen tor a young man, who was staying all night with Mr. Lowe and who dragged him out of the house, he would undoubtedly have been burned to death. - Walla Walla Union-Journa- George P. Sink, of Wasco, Sherman county, who was in the city Wednesday, says the farmers there bave entered into a contract with Melbourne, who is to receive$1100 for mak ing two inches of rsinfall the latter part of May. A subscription for this amount has been raised and deposited with French & Co., bankers at The Dalles, who are to ad vance tbe money to Melbourne when he completes bis contract, and collect from the farmers. A very eloquent and learned discourse was delivered at the court house last even ing by Rev. W. C. Curtis, of the Congregs- tional church, from the text found in Act XXXI; 29. His line of thought wat origi nal, expressed in the moat elegant English, and his metaphors and similes were choice and adapted to the subject. We were very maun interested in the sermon, and at tempted to pay close attention to tbe sub ject; but were ioteiropted by hoodlumns passing in and out in the most abrupt man ner. Tbere is no doubt in tbe minds of this community that the guilt ot Mcplie is the same as that of Avery, and one could not be acquitted of the crime without the other would be equally innoceut. This 13 the case of the State A Oregon vs. Wm. Aveiy and Albert Mesplie. one of whom pleaded euil ty to the crime, and the other was acquitted alter a trial before bis peers. Tins msy considered usually the case wheie one or more have friends and the other has none. American juries are usually composed of good citizens; but sometimes their verdicts are like tbe decrees of providence, very mysterious and past hading out. From Tuesday Daily. A new fidh wheel is beioir built on ' the beach. Miss Florence Cram is visiting friends in irortiana. . Mr. Geo. A. Young, of Bikeoven, is the city Mrs. A. M. Phelps, of Kufus. is visiting Mrs. uunhain in this city. Ice men are receiving carloads every dav trom JNortn fowanr and points in Idaho. Mrs. J. K. McCormack, of Palonse City, visiting relatives and friends in The Dalles. Mr. A. W. Branuer, the proprietor of the Prineyille stage line, is registered at the Umatilla House. The Regulator blew ont a cylinder head this morning, and, iu consequence, did not mako the trip Mr. Watkins, an electrician of Portland, is in tbe city employed to overhaul the ma chines at the power bouse. Active steps are being taken for the or ganization ot a Uniform Kank in connec tion with Friendship Lodge, No. 0, K. of , in this city. Parties, dances and- - barn-raisin- seem to be the order of the day in portions of Grant county, and these furnish abundant amuse ment during tho winter days. One solitary individual found his way in to the city jail last night in au intoxicated condition. He was given his liberty 'this morning and went on his way rejoicing, The snow in tbe mountains bat been quite beayy during the winter, and a boun tiful supply of water may be expected for uiiuiuK purposes uunng toe coming summer, A needle was taken from tbe bip of a little child at Long Creek last week. It is a mystery to the parents how the needle becsme embedded in . the fleshy part of tbe infant's limb. Mr. H. C. Rooper, of Bakeoven, it in the city. He says horses and other cattle are in excellent condition, and are principally on thq range feeding on the green grass. which is very plentiful on south bill sides, Harney County Neva: Gold Gulch still bas visions of wealth bursting forth in re ality beneath the watchful eye. Ne mines are discovered every now and then. The gold dust is now shining and glittering through tbe interstices of many a bursting purse. The man who was "held up" in this city Sunday night met with the misfortune on Front street, between McFarland ft French's warehouse and the place where The Dalles House was situated before the fire, and not in the East End, as incorrectly stated by a cotemporary. Ue managed to escape with out the loss of any coin and with a couple of slashes on bis coat. Heppner Qazette: J. B. Manning hat just received word from Eogland that he is one of the few heirs to over 1,000,000, besides two land estates, lie has a copy of tbe will and will at once put himself, through the proper course, into possession of his share of the fortune. Mr. Manning ia a hard working man in limited circumstances, but takes his good luck philosophically. East Oregonian: Wm. C. Russell, an en terprising young granger living west of Athena, reports splendid success with bis experiments ot last year at raising sugar beets. He would be only too willing to have the contract of furnishing sugar beets at S6 per ton tbe price paid by the sugar men of California to the farmer. Some of the beets grew over two feet long and large around as a ttoyepipe. of Harney Timet: There is another wedding to chronicle that of lame Betty to a cow puncher, who recently came in here from Dead JJog. by tbe name of Broncho Jim, The wedding took place near Paddy Joe's tepee and tbe bnde wat tna recipient ot many beautiful presents, among which were pair ot brass knuckles and two coyote scalps She wat attired in a bewitching pair of overalls, the back drapery gracefully looped up with a bright new bale rope. The happy couple bave rented a haystack, near the slaughter house, where they will reside till the springtime comes,- - gentle Annie, Many people are buying up tbe new coin age ot silver halt ana quarter uoiiart at souvenirs, under tbe impression that tbe new coins bave been called in and tbat no more will.be issued. Tbe troth of the mat ter is this: The coins circulated here were minted at San Francisco and comprised dimes, quarters and halves cast from dies sent out from the Philadelphia mint. In a short time it was discovered the dies were defective and coinage from them was stopped until new ones could be secured. the' meantime the mint at Philadelphia still turning them out. The residence of Mr. James Woodcock, Wamic, wat destroyed by file on last to Friday afternoon. Tbe cause was a de- fective flue. Tbe family were preparing dinner at tbe time, and though every- thing possible wat done to get tbe house- hold goods out of the building but little was saved. Several articles were con turned after being tsken out of tbe house but not removed far .enough from tbe flames. By a great effort tbe smoke house containing a large amount of meats wat kept from taking fire. Tbe bnilding was new, being but lately com- pleted and was one of tbe finest in the settlement. It was insured for a small amount, but nothing compared to the loss. This is a great hardship on Mr. Woodcock as himself and family have been sick nearly all winter and bave not yet entirely recovered. Spectators say tbe building was consumed to rapidly tbat had it been night and tbe family re tired those sleeping in the npper story would undoubtedly bave been burned to deatb. . Eugene Ouard: A letter was received by George Melson yesterday morning from Duncan Scott, in which the statement ia to made that the writer saw a gentleman wearing long black whiskers at the Sacra- mento depot getting on a passenger train, and that the party spoke to bim, calling bit name. Scott says he it positive the gentle- man was a Lackey, but as he had but slight acquaintace with E. R., could not aay whether or not it wat hint. Scott wat at the time with la grippe and thought nothing further of the oocurenoe until be saw the telegraphio account of the myster- ious disappearance. Mr. Melson has writ ten to find out the date and fuller particu- lars if obtainable.' I Proceedings of the Republican Oonnty I Central Committee. The Dalles, Or., Feb. 13, 1893.

Attest: - A. G. Johnson, Secretary. Bobbed of $250. East Oregonian. The Uni on Pacific railroad offioe in tha Adams depot was burglarised Saturday night by unknown parties, Tha burglars gained entrance by opening the door with chisels, and drilled several holes in the' safe, which they blew open with powder. Tbe depot is about a quarter of a mile from town and the cracksmen were able to work without interruption. ' They harvested about $250 in cash, nearly all of which wat tbe private property of the depot agent, Mr. Woods, only $70 belonging to the railroad and express companies. Tha burglars took the pendulum bail out of tbe clock and stopped it, presumably to prevent the noise ticking, so the approach of anyone front tho outside might be beard with greater ease, a fhe hands pointed to 11:30 A. M., in all probability the time when tha burglary was oommittdd. The thieve left tome of their tools behind tbem, a common old braoa, a drill, etc, being now able to purchase a new ' . outfit of tbe latest improved pattern if they have any more jobs on hand. About a week ago the U. P. depot at La Grande was robbed. . It it about time for the company to put a patent burglar alarm and set man. . traps. Union-Journa- l- E. Nickerson and J. Nash, two inmates ot tbe county jail, made a bold dash for liberty Friday morning, while working on the county road near the peni- tentiary in charge of Guard Harry Howard. Tbe prisoners had evidently made previous arrangements to that at a given signal they rushed away in opposite directions. Of course tbe guard could not follow them both. and quickly throwing hit gun to hit shoal- - . der pulled the trigger, but tbe weapon failed do its duty. A second and third attempt was more successful, but the prisoners had already made up their minds to sink or swim in their effort to obtain their liberty, ' and wonld not be soared out of it. Tbo guard then pursued Nash, captured him and brought him back to town. He secured a horse and started after Nickerson, but re turned late in the afternoon without having captured hit game. Nickerson and Nash ' were both sentenced about a week ago to terms ot sixty days each, for tbe theft of a watch from John White while the latter was asleep in hit room in the Revere hotel. Tonil .Journal: Last Sunday morning a number of young men were standing at tho entrance to Chat. Branson's livery stable, among tbe number being Jams Zacbary and Light Morns. James was preparing to mount a wild horse, to he took off bit pistol belt, which contained a Colts re yolver, and handed it to Light. At it was changing hands the belt and pistol dropped " the floor. Light made a grab for it at it fell, but was too late, and while in a stoop- ing position the butt end of the pistol cam into content with the hard floor, discharg ing tha weapon, whereupon ' Light dropped, exclaiming that be wat thot, The boys immediately procured a spring mattress, and carried the wounded man home, where an examination showed that the bullet had entered the tcrotum, and ranged upward to the left Dr. Goddard probed for the bullet, but failed to locate it but from the fact that Light hat since tuf. fered intense pain in hit left thigh, it is supposed that the lead is embedded there,.

TELEGEAPHIO.

Behrlnc Sea CommlaalonWashington, Feb. 12. There is some

thing which is mysterious going on in

what it known as tbe settlement of tbeBehiino- - sea Question. It tbe scene oftbe negotiations were at a state capital,there would be very sensational chargesmade, and for that matter, perhaps, even

dignity of some officials' positionmay not save tnem irom preiiy severe

reflections before tbe matter is over.

There teems to be a very strong desire to

prevent a public expression on tbe find

ingt of the commission. There is noreason for this unless somebody is goingto be benefited. There are also a gnatmany charges made in different organsof tbe administration that it is tbeEnglish commissioners who are wastingtime and refusing to meet the Americancommissioners and get down to business,This is not trne. It is not tbe JSoglisnmen who have held back the investigaHon or who have asked for secrecy. TbeEnglish commissioners, oir Baden Powellana ur. uawson, nave Deen in tvasoing-to- n

ten days anxious to begin comparingnotes and ty consult with the Americancommissioners Messrs. Mendenhall andMerriam. Some mysterious influenceshave kept the tour men apart, and it wasnot until yesterday that tbey were al-

lowed to meet official y in what wascalled an "informal conference." Tbeconference was behind closed doors. Itis impossible to get tbe English commissionert to talk on the subject, but it isknown that they favor open sessions.Tbe state department, however, will notfor some reason agree to this step. TbeEnglishmen, while not complaining andhave not been bonnd to secrecy, feelkeenly tbe misrepresentations of theirintentions and disposition printed inadministration organs. Tbey have beenclaimed as those who desire delay foxputting off the conferences, wben as amatter of fact tbey have tried tbeir utmost, but in vain, to meet tbe Americancommissioners to begin work. With thesealing season already begun there isgreat need of immediate action, and noneed for secrecy. ' Outsiders who knowwhat is going on, and bave the proservation of the seal fisheries at heart, areloudest in their demands for open doorsand constant conferences until tbe matteris settled.

Tbe court ordered the reservation sheriff. Franklin P.

Thebullet took effect in Abraham's leftbreast and passed diagonally through bisbody, producing deatb soon afterward.Tbe dead Indian's friends are in a stateof great excitement, and threaten to annihilate both judge and sheriff.

The greatest rate ot duty provided for is 45 percent, on ready made clothing, dolmans,jackbts, ulsters and wearing apparel, onwhich, under tbe present law, 60 percent, duty it Imposed. These are articlesleft above 40 per cent., which was tbeuniform rate proposed by tbe Mills billon woolen manufactures of all kinds.Tbe greatest redaction was made fromtbe 40 per cent, duty, under tbe Millshill, on. cheap blankets, woolen hats andflannels for underwear.- - This was cutdown to 25 per cent. The agreement byparagraphs is as follows:

"On woolen and worsted yarns 35 percent.; tbe rate under the McKioley law is35 and. 40 per cent, on woolen or worstedcloths. Shawls, knit fabric and allfabrics made on knitting machines orframes, and all manufactures of everydescription made wholly or in part ofwool, or worsted, not specially providedfor, 40 per cent., tbe present rates being40 and 50 per cent., according to tbevslue.

The Cascade Locks.Washington, Feb. 14. The senate

committee on commerce at tbe last meeting commenced the consideration of Senator Gibson's bill for the improvement oftbe Mississippi River, and SenatorDolph's bill for the improvement of tbeColumbia. Tbe hearing was concludedat a special meeting yesterday. SenatorDolph was authorized to report favorablyhis bill appropriating $1,750,000 for tbecompleting of tbe canal and locks at thecascades of tbe Columbia, with a provisotbat no more tban one-thir- d of the totalappropriation should be expended in anyone year. Tbe provision ot bis dm tortbe construction of a boat railway wasstricken out, because a bill for tbat purpose has already been reported from tbecommittee on transportation routes to tbeseaboard, and is now on tbe senate calen-dar, fbe sections making appropriationsior the mouth of tbe Columbia and tbeLower Willamette and Columbia werealso eliminated, as tbe committee believed tbat adequate appropriations couldbe provided for those improvements inthe river and harbor bill. Senator Dolphwas instructed to make a written report,which be is preparing and will endeavorto submit to tbe senate tomorrow, ihesenator says tbe bill making an appropriation for tbe Mississippi may meetwith favorable action in the bouse, on account of the great number of persons interested, but be greatly fears be will notbe able to secure favorable considerationthere for bis bill for the completion of tbeCascade locks. He will make an effortand hopes to secure in tbe nycr andbarbor bill the provision for the completion of the Cascade locks. He bad theassurance wben the last river and barborbill passed that be should receive at leastone Colombia mver improvement, asimilar provision to tbat given to Galves-ton and Sault Ste. Marie, and no doubtthe senate will accord him that favor.Tbe only danger is that tbe house conference will not agree to it. Senator Dolphcalled General Casey, chief of engineers,before tbe committee, who explained tbepresent condition of all tbe works for tbe ofColumbia River, and said that, he bad not

particle of doubt of tbe practicability ofboat railway. Tbe tact tbat the city of

Portland is expending $500,000 to securedeeper channel to tbe sea, and that tbe

state bat built a portage road .at the cas-cades, elicited much favorable commentfrom tbe committee members.
