ALEXANDER.S ESCAPE.

ST. PErEEsBURc, April l4.-The
would-be assassin of the Gar is now
undergoing examination. A full of
fetal account of the affair says: To
ward s o'clock this morning us the EN-
peror was taking his customary walk,
II respectfully dressed man, wearing
military cap with cockade, advanced
toward him, and rs the Emperor ap-
preached nearer, drew revolver from
the pocket of his overcoat and fired
four shots at him. The assassin, be-
fore submitting to his eaptors, fred
another shot, slightly wounding per
son in the crowd. A great throng
which had assembled, enthusiastically
cheercd and congratulated the emperor,
who thanked them for their proofs of
fidelity on such a painful occasion. He
said that he knew that he had the sup
port of all respectable people. He
hoped that God would grant that he
might complete his task, which con
sisted in promoting the welfare of Rus
speech, drove to the palace without es-
cort. Afterwards he drove without
escort to Kasan cathedral to return
thanks for the preservation of his life.
When receiving congratulations of of
ficials of the empire at noon, the Gar
was so much overcome by his enthrs-
iastic reception as to be unable to speak
for some minutes. On recovering
from his emotion he said: "This is the
third time God has saved me" 1t is
supposed the empelior's assailant took
poison before his attempt, as he vom-
tied after his arrest Poison was also
found under his finger nail Anti
dotes were administered. 1t is thought
that the man was in the employ of
the ministry of finance and an agent
of the internationalists. The sultan
and all European sovereigns tele-
graphed congratulations to the Gar.
The emperor's assailant gives the name
of Skolof He is retired functionary
of the ministry of finance and is about
80 years old. He fired at the emperor
within two PAGES. After the first shot
the emperor approached Skolof, who
fired again and ran. Various accounts
given as to the exact number of shots
are conflicting An officer of the po-
lice, with drawn sword, pursued Sko-
lof. Three more men then joined in
the pursuit. Skolof shot at them, shat
tering the jaw of the detective. Fl
nally, gentleman knocked Skolof
down and held him until he was Sc
cured by the officers. One thousand
one hundred and forty revolutionists
have been arrested in Russia within
the last fortnight.

Northern Pacific Railroad.

Senator Grover of Oregon has in
troduced bill in congress which
proves that the time for completion
of its main line shall be extended
ten years upon conditions which are
in substance as follows:
First, that the company shall within
one year of the enactment of this bill
commence work on the main line ut
or near Umatilla, Oregon, and COM
pletc not less than 25 miles of its
road eastwardly every year thereafter,
and shall construct total or at least
100 miles of main line within two
years from the same date, and not
less than 100 miles of main line each
year thereafter, including the 25
miles per annum expressly desig-
mated.
Second, that the main line between
Portland and Umatilla shall be con-
structcd on the south side of the Co.
lumbia.
Third, that with the exception of
lands heretofore earned by the COM
pany, all agricultural lands within its
grant shall be open to purchase from
the company by actual settlers in
tracts of 100 acres each at the price
of two dollars and fifty cents per-
acre. Extension of the time and con-
tinuancc of all former rights and tran
chises are also made conditional upon
requirements that the company shall
complete the road around the Cas-
cades of the Columbia river within
two years, and around the Dalles of
the Columbia within three years from
the enactment of the bill, and that in
the use of these portage railroads the
company shall make no discrimina-
tions or excessive charges againstan
person or corporation.
All lands heretofore withdrawn for
the branch line are to be restored to
the public domain, except for dis
tance of twenty miles north of the
portion now completed from Tacoma
to Wilkeson, Washington Territory.
The bill embodies the provisions Of
the house bill of last year, protecting
the rights of homestead and pre-emp-
ton settlements made prior to re-
ccipts of the orders Of withdrawal as
loca' land offices, and, in conclusion,
authority is reserved for congress to
amend or repeal this act at any time,
having due regard for the rights Of
the company, and to provide by law
against determinations and excessive
charges.

Newspaper Decisions.

1. Any person who takes paper regularly
from the post-o,ljce, whether directed in his
name or another's, or whether he has sub
scribcd or not--is responsible for payment
:. If Il person orders his paper discontinued,
he must pay all arrears, or the publisher may
continue to send il until payment is made, and
then collect the whole amount, whether the
paper Is taken from the Office or not.
g. The courts have decided that refusing to
take newspapers and periodicals from the post
office, or removing and leaving them uncalled
for, is prima facia evidence of intentional
fraud

Levi Livingston, young man who
grew from childhood to mans estate
on the banks OF the classic White river
in King county, and afterwards fell
into evil ways, has just died in the
penitentlary at McNeils Island, where
he was serving out sentence for
counterfeiting. He seems to have be-
come mixed up with gang of coun-
terfeiters in Oregon, several years ago,
who manufactured bogus silver half
dollars. He narrowly escaped the
penitentiary at that time, but came
back to this Territory and again en-
gagged in the illegal work, was detec-
ted and sent to prison. He was re-
specially connected.

1t is asserted by the Cincinnati
Commercial that Eads' jetties are a
fiat failure, and that the expenditure
of 100000 has actually made the
entrance of the Mississippi river no
deeper than before. The statement
is supported by presentation of abun-
dant testimony, which shows that ves-
sells drawing twenty feet passed up
when there was neither dredging nor
jetties, and deeper vessels cannot pass
now.

over four months, Mr.. Leonard dis
covered several skeletons, showing that
his brother was not the only victim of
the Nez Perces while in that part of
the country. He gave all he found n
decent burial. The remains of his
brother he brought to Crow agency,
and they were inferred at that post.
The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1879-04-24

The Seattle lntelligencer says:
"Mr. Il. G.. Wilson. who recently
shipped 100 barrels of potatoes to
Honolulu, per barkentine Jennie
Pitts, will ship ten tons more to the
same place by the Camden. Our
dealers, who have invested in pota-
toes to any extent this season, will
lose heavily. Among others, Mr.. I.
G.. Wilson has 800 tons stored in San
Francisco, unsold, and for which he
can find no market. Six weeks ago,
potatoes were worth rs cents per
bushel delivered here, now they are .
drug in the market at from 30 to 40
cents"
The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1879-04-24

For the sake of making a point
against the proposed California con-
stitution the San Francisco Alta in .
few words tells more truth about this
country than it has published before
during all its career of thirty years.
1t says: "Oregon has the capacity
to accommodate ten times as many in
habitants as she receives, if they are
only able and willing to hew for
tune out of her fertile valleys, her
inexhaustible forests, her incompar-
able fisheries, or her unexplorcd min
eral deposits. Oregon has consti-
tuition. Her laws are equitable,
stable and constant. She is not to
be browbeaten by the threats of an
uniformed, irresponsible rabble.
California's extremity appears to be
Oregon's opportunityat this moment.
Oregon has placed herself on record
as conservative, peace-preserving,
property-protccting community; and,
while we deplore California's present
loss, we rejoice that it is our nearest
ncighbor's gain"

A DRESS woven from the webs of the
large spiders common in South America
has been presented to Queen Victoria
by the Empress of Brazil. 1t exceeds
in fneness any manufactured silk
known, and is very handsome. Span
iards, nearly two hundred years ago,
endeavored to make gloves, stockings,
and other articles of spiders webs, but
they yielded so little profit, and neces-
STATED so,much trouble, that the manu-
facture was abandoned In ITO the
calculation was made that the webs of
100000 spiders would be required for
about 40 yards of silk Such dresses
are occasionally seen in South America.
