 PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 2.-This morning four Canadian voyageurs employed by the government to bring the mail to the city from the blockaded train arrived in Portland after an absence of six days. They had a terrible experience, but brought in the letter mail, the first received from the east since the middle of December. The blockaded train remains imbedded in snow and ice and the united efforts of one thousand men, thir- ty engines and five snQW blows fail to ac- complish much. The snow bound passengers have been provisioned and cared for. The storm is the worst ever known on the Colum- bia river.

CAPTAIN PHELAN IMPROVING.

His AssafIant to Plead SeIf-Defense.
 NEW YORK, Jan 13.-The condition of Captain Phelan, the wounded dynamiter, is rapidly improving Dr. Bull of the Cham bers street hospital said to day that he would in all probability be able to leave the hospi- tai within ten days. He describes the pa tient as possessing wonderful vitality and says that any ordinary man would have either suffered tenfold more pain or died from the shock Phelan makes no secret of his thirst for revenge and is chagrined beyond measure that the bullet intended to kill Short failed to fulfill it's mission. He now boldly asserts that the whole thing was the result of a con- spiracy to take his life and is loud in his
 threats to square accounts not only with O,Donovan Rossa, but with any man that he may hereafter be satisfied was party to the deed.
 It was said to-day by a friend of Rossa's that Short will plead self defense in case
 Phelan insists on prosecution. John F. Kearney. who accompanied Phelan to Rossa's office, will, it is said, be put forward as a witness for the defense to testify that Phelan went armed to Rossa's office with the inten- tiou of shooting anybody who would ques- tion his motives in giving the interview to the Kansas City Journal which is supposed to be the cause of the trouble. Two other
 persons are said to be prepared to corroborate
 Kearney's testimony and to swear in addition that Phelan precipitated quarrel between himself a..d Short and was on the point of drawing revolver when Short drew his knife to defend himself
 Rossa said to- day that he had already said enough to reporters and would say no more.

Why is Athlophoros specific for rheuma- tism and neuralgia? This is important. Be cause it is natural remedy. How natural! These twin diseases have a cause, as all others have. They are in and of the blood The acid posons of the system get into the circu- lation. They then determine toward muscle and joint, causing pain, swellings, lntiamma- tions and all the phenomena of neuralgias, rheumatisms, gouts.
 There are hundreds of indirect treatments, mere palliatives. Athlophoros is direct agent It goes to the cause, the blood. It don't poke about in the system like potashes and colchicums and other stomach destroyers. but like electricity clings to it's mission and goes to the point. Pain is immediately re- lieved. That is more than half the victory. Without pain one can rest and sleep. Nature cGn work, can cooperate. Dread is removed. The remedy triumphs. Says Charles North TOD, Woodmont Conn.,. Had been victim of rheumatism for years. Saw nothing but suffering for the balance of my days. >Ath- lophoros relieved my pain almost instantly With your remedy at hand my former dread is all taken away. I feel that I can keep the enemy at bay. I do not believe in patent medicines, but this I know to be a specific and the best cure ever discovered for the ter rible disease of rheumatism.
 MT. Northrop's testimony is all the strong er because he doubter, yet an intelli- gent inquirer. Athlophoros only needs a trial It conducts it's own case before court and jury. MT. Geo. Haden, Fair Haven, Conn., writes: ''Have suffered with neuralgia for years. It attacked me when least ex- pected, and forced me to give up all work. A friend advised me to try Athlophoros. Had no faith but after q second dose felt 1t all through me. In three hours I was able to resume work and have not had 8 return oi the disease"

A Verdict Brought in by the Coroner's
 Hnrv-


 Jury.
 BROOKLYN, Jan. 13.-The inquest on the bodies burned in St. Johns home last De- cember was resumed this afternoon before Coroner Hesse. Sister St. Mark testified that she was informed of the fire by Johnnie O'Brien, who fell while endeavoring to de- scend ladder. Dr. John P. Heyer, the physician at the home, testified that there were about thirty children in that part of the building where the fire originated and he thought they were partially blinded by the smoke Trustee s. P. Bodkin of the build ing committee testified that he was not aware of any children being in the portion of the building where the fire broke out. After some unimportant testimony by Sister De- chantel the mother superior, Captain Will liam H. Folk of the Twelfth precinct testi- fled that his force had to cover an area of two and one-half miles square, and within that limit there were about thirty thousand in habitants. The alarm boxes on his precinct he claimed, were insufficient in number The jury after long deliberation returned 6 yer dict that the fire which caused the death of the subjects of the inquest was caused by the accidental ignition of towels in the drying room of the laundry of the home by candle in the hands of boy named John O'Brien. The jury further find that additional facili- ties for extinguishing fires should be provid- ed in that part of Brooklyn

Practically the invitation extended to all 'society Wash ington," for more brilliant assemblage has seldom been seen in this city. temporary covered way " " .s erected over the sidewalk TOT distance of about fifty yards to the east of the main portieo and q window open ing directly upon the staircase leading to the private settetarys rooms was by means of earpeted steps improvised into an entrance way for the oetasion. This was n reversal of the order of procession previously adopted and, like nearly all tho changes introduced by Marshal MeMiehael during his term ns Major Domo, whs great improvement. At seven minutes to nine the Marine band struck up the dolorous but inevitable "Hail to the Chief' and the reception began. Tho Presi- dent WAS supported on his right by his sister Mrs. htIGf0y, Mrs. Frelnghnysen, Mrs MoCulloeh, Mrs. Brewster md Mrs. Teller, standing in the order named. On the left was Marshal MoMehael who presented the guests. The diplomatic corps had private entrance of their own, and popped in through n sort of red plush trap door into the red room where their magnificent toilets were privately perfected. The crowd was very great and 1t took more than half hn hour to run the gauntlet even to those most fhvefably placed, But there was no attempt at crowd Ing, The ladies' dresses, what thefs was of them, were simply gorgeous. In the spacious east room where ihe guests pronenaded after passing out of the blue room where the Pres ident received them, there was | scene which for diversity of decorations, gold lace and feathers, and handsome toilets could proba- bly not be surpassed in the most 'etfete monarchy" of Europe. The reception was to last from 9 until II, but at 10;30 numberless carriages were still arriving.
