debts as are by contract payable only in
coin, and that the number of such netes
shall be increased each year at rate

It xeems after all that Edmunds has
no authority whatever to organize or
insti. ate Labor Reform lodges, as he is
only an expelled member from that
body. His organizations are therefore
without authority-simply clandestine
concerns without recognition, standing
or respectability IN the general organi-
tion of that movement. Here is let
ter which we copy from the 0regonta,s

1t is well known in this vicinity that A. C. Edmunds
editor OF the abor World elaiIas be the leader in
labor refofs here Oregon but by what authority Is
unknown. Recently rumor has been circulated that
Hr Ednunds has cut on from fellowship organiza-
ton Of laboring men, Of this city, and in order that
the public may know the facts they we viii say
that Mr.. Ednunds assumed 50 much authority and
dietation that at last, finding unbearable pre-
isrTed charges against him. put him upon trial. proved
him guilty, and by large majority vote expelled him
from all afliation with AFTER this he informed us
that he had cut of organization and has since
threatened to notify other labor organizations that
had been thus sumnarily disposed Of so as to debar
US from all communication with our brother laborers
We also hear that he intends getting few persons to
join him in getting up another Organization here and
tn make it appear his little ring represents
hundreds Of laboring in Portland. Our brothers
throughout the State should know these facts. and

A PERIOD OF PEACE
Has Been Agreed Upon by
Russia and Turkey.
The Turkish Commanders in the Field
Ordered to Arrange an Armistice

DEATH OF THE KING OF iTALY.

London, Jan. 9.-Dispatches from
Constantinople this morning say:
The Sultan having approved the arm
istice conditions submitted to him by
Minister Reouf Pasha, his minister of
war, has ordered the commanders in
the field to conclude an armistice with
the Russian commanders. Before agree
ing on this course Server Pasha, the
Turkish foreign minister, telegraphed
to Moseur Pasha, Turkish Ambassador
at London, instructing him to request
Lord Derby to arrange with Russia the
conditions of the armistice.
Lord Derby replied that Russia would
not entertain such proposal, and coun-
selled direct negotiations between the
belligerents. a1
1t is stated that negotiations continue
between England and Russia on the
question of mediation.
The Turkish chamber of deputies,
heard the explanations of the minis
ters, declared them satisfactory, and
especially approved Server Pasha's for
eign policy. All the ministers were
present during the debate. .. g.

Death of King Victor Emanuel.

Rome, Jan. 9.--King Victor Emanuel
confessed to Monsigneur F. Marenelli,
sacristan, who was sent to him by the
Pope. He was also visited by the
Pope's domestic prelate. The Austrian
Ambassador was present, with Prince
Humbert, Princess Marguerite and
state dignitaries when the King re-
ceived the communion of Extreme
Unction from his chaplain. Toward
2:3O p. m. the oppression under which
the King labored increased, and he was
caused to inhale oxygen, which seemed
to give MIN little strength. He
saluted those present, bending his
head twice, and then, signing deeply,
he expired.
Diplomatists being informed of the
death of the King, and Prince Hum
bert's. accession, proceeded to the
Quirinal Immediately to condole. The
newspapers appear in black, and remind
their readers that Victor Emanuel's
life was dedicated to the greatness and
happiness of Italy.

Finishing the Work of the Season-Tte
Forthcoming Reports.
Washington, Jan. 9.-Various par
ties engaged in field work during the
past summer under Lieut.. G. NJ.
Wheeler, corps of engineers, U. S.
Army, in charge of geographical sur
veys west of the one hundredth merid-
ian, have returned to this city and
already commenced the preparation of
their reports from extensive notes and
observations made in Colorado, Texas,
Nevada, California, Oregon, and the
territories of New Mexico, Utah, Wyo-
ming, Idaho and Montana. The work
during the past session has been the
continuation Of the Typographical work
of the previous year and the notes thus
far made will enable the parties to pre-
pare detailed maps covering an area of
about 10000 square miles. On account
of the favorable season and increased
strength of the parties, the explora-
tions of 1877 have been more success
full than during any previous year. A
new feature of the survey will be the
report upon the quantity of arabic,
arid, timber, grazing and mineral lands
examined during the season. Geologi-
cal and geological examinations were
also made in various sections. A spec
ial party made careful survey of the
Comstock lode, both above and below
ground. A map Of the surface has
been finished, and profile of the min
ing lodes, with plans Of separate levels,
and general longitudinal section of
the entire vein, been commenced. 1t
is proposed to continue this branch of
the survey until complete hist ory of
mining operations, at this locality
especially, shall be completed. The
party which was engaged near Lake
Tahoe has completed data for special
map of this interesting lake region.
The number of main, secondary, trian-
gulation and other stations occupied
exceeded that of any previous year.
A temporary field office has been estab-
lished at Ogden, Utah.
Volume four of paleontology has been
issued, and volume two of astronomy
will soon be ready. A number of maps
have been issued during the year, which
have been found to be of great use, not
only to the Government, bnt to those
seeking homesteads on the western
frontier. Following are the names of
the officers who were in charge of
parties: Lieutenants Bingland, Till
man, Symans and Young of the Engi-
neer corps; Lieutenants Birnie, Morri.
son and Macomb, of the army. Among
the civilian assistants were Professors
J. A. Church, A. R. Conkling and DR..
Kaupf.

Washington, Jan. 9.--Postmaster-
General Key says that business has so
increased in the south that over two
hundred postotiices have been made
Presidential offices, namely : Such rs
receive appointment from the Presi-
dent and confirmation by the Senate.
This indicates prosperity.
The statement that Conkling will in
troduce resolution investigating the
Presidents title, is universally discred-
tied. Ben Butler declares that he
never heard of such an intention.
Southern men say that if introduced it
would be defeated by southern votes.
