A COOP REPoRT.-The Walla Walla
Statesman says fresh applications are
being constantly made to DIR. Anderson,
President of Whitman College, by stu
dents anxious to enter their names
upon the register of that institution.
Ihe result Of this is overcrOwlel rooms
and the necessity for another building.
An American company has found rail
way building in Mexico disastrous ven
ture. Mr.. Edward Learned, of Massa-
chusetts, and his associates have sunk
nearly half a million dollars in the Te-
hauntepec road, which has just forfeited
its charter and been confscated by the
Mexican Government. Apart from the
real merits of the undertaking, which
were doubtless over-estimated the prime
mistake seems to have been in accepting
a concession in which the time allowed
for the completion OF the road was limit
ed to two years.
TO VISIT PoRTLAND.-Offic infor-
nation was received on Saturday that
the Governor General of Canada, the
Princess Louise and party will return to
San Francisco via Portland, and leave
by, the Queen of the Pacific October Bird.
The exact date of their arrival has not
been fixed but it is expected that they
will reach Portland about the first of
October, and go to the Cascades by spe-
cial boat on the second. The British
societies will prepare for their recep-
ton, and it is probable that the city
government will join to entertain them.
H. NJ s. Comus, which sailed yesterday
from San Francisco for Victoria did not
have accommodations for the entire
royal party, and several left by the
Queen of the Pacific. At Astoria, to-
morrow. the visitors will be met by the
Wide West which is being decorated
and put in readiness for the trip, and
will leave tonight. They will be con-
veyed by the river steamer to Kalama,
where special train for New Tacoma
will be in waiting. -Oregonian.
Rob Jackson was missed from Winni-
peg, having last been seen going away
from bar.room drunk. After a week
he was found dead, with his feet and
ankles imbedded in frozen earth, and
his body leaning against fence. He
had stepped into deep mud, and, too in
capacitated by rum to extricate himself,
had stood there until cold snap filst-
ened him.
AWoRD OF WARNING. The Statesman
complains bitterly OF the thugs and
scoundrels WHO have sand-bagged and
bludgeonel men along the line OF the
n. p. r. r., from Westwood to Rock
Island with impunity. and calls for
summary justice. A corps OF sharp
shooters with Winchester rifles would
be about the correct thing to go after
those scoundrels with Hanging is too
slow process. Seattle may expect
some of these fellows along the line Of
road which is soon to connect us with
the n. .P.R.R. We advise them to sing
small and go slow in this neighborhood.

Secretary Blaine furnishes long ar
ticle to a weekly magazine OF Chicago
upon she South American policy OF the
Garfield administration. The following
are the more salient points: The foreign
policy of President Garfeld's admins
tration had two principal objects in
view; the first to bring about a peace
and prevent future wars in North and
South America, and the second to cuti-
vate such friendly commercial relations
with all American countries as would
lead to n larg, increase in the export
| trade of the United States in supplying
those fabrics in which we are abundant
" able TO comDt tie with the manufactur-
ing countries of Europe.
