PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 23.-General John
A. Logan, Governor Alger and a party
of nineteen. arrived here at $50 this even
ing, having come overland from California.
They experienced a most delightful trip
through Willamette Valley, which was one
series of ovations. A short halt was made
at Koseburg, Eugene, Albany, Jefferson,
Salem, Aurora and ORGAN City, where
large crowds gathered and called forLogan.
He was greeted with cheers, and in most
places spoke briefly. At Salem a stop OF
an hour was made. Logan was introduced

Scarcity of Mater.

For a couple OF days past there has been
a scarcity OF water in Butte, and much in
convenience has been caused thereby.
Superintendent Blaine, of the Water Com
pony, states that until we have rain we
cannot have any more water than is OBJ
tainable at present. Should the weather
not change, the supply will continue to de-
crease. About seven inches of water now
goes into into the reservoir, but that is
only about half sufficient to supply the de-
mand. The peoplein the lower end Of town,
on account OF the slope OF the hill,
naturally have more wafer than those
in the upper portion. When the fact OF
the great scarcity Of water became known,
many people became alarmed, fearing that
in case of fire serious loss would occur to
property. The evil was to be remedid by
using the water of the Moutton Company
in the case of fire, and, if necessary, it was
asserted that the company would tenn
porarily stop the supply of water for it's
mill and give it to Butte in such an emer.
gency. We're it not for the Moulton water,
last nights fire might have caused serious
damage to property, as there was much in
flamable material in the immediate
vicinity. It is probable that the water
will not last long, as it is seldom
that Butte experiences such long spell Of
warm and sultry weather as the one We
been having for some time past.

A Small BlaiZe.

About 1870 O'Clock last night a fire broke
out in the frame roof OF q one-story brick
cottage on Mercury street, between Mon
tana and Idaho. An alarm al sounded
and the fire department Immediately re.
%sponded. The hose was attached to q fire
plug on the corner of Park and Montana
streets, but when the nozzle was turned TO-
ward the flames it was found that there
was but about an inch of water in the
pipes. When this fact was discovered, the
Moulton company was telephoned to, and
their water was shortly afterward played
upon the building, putting out the fire in a
short time, with but a slight damage to
the building. Had there been sufficient
water in the pipes at the start, but slight
damage would have occurred to the build
ing and it's contents. The cottage was &C.
cupied by Mr.. and Mrs. H. l.. Rose and is
owned by Mr.. John Noyes. At the time
the fire broke out no one was in the builG-
ing, Mrs. Rose being in an adjoining house.
The loss to the contents of the building
cannot as yet be ascertained. An insur-
ance of $500 is held by Mr.. Rose upon his
property in the Etna Insurance Company.
The cause of the fire is unknown.

Street Railway Tie-Up.

New YORK, August 23.-On the black
board in the side-starters' Dom of the
Broadway and Seventh Avenue horse rail-
way Offices, on Fifteenth street and Sew
enth avenue, was last week anotice that on
Monday the new time table would 20 into
effect, and requesting drivers and conduc-
tors to be on the lookout for it. The men
were watchful. On Saturday morning an
employee saw that the new schedule called
for six trips on the Battery instead Of
five, as they had been making. The time
table was arranged so that six trips were
to be done in twelve hours. To effect this,
in many cases the hour for starting ON the
first trip was set much earlier than before,
and the time for starting on the last trip
much later. The law takes no account Of
the time between trips. The local assem-
blymen met on Saturday evening and the
new table was discussed. They met after
midnight last night in the same hall and at
1870 this morning decided to tie up the
Broadway line at once, and no cars on
that route are running this morning. One
of the Broadway's conductors said that
though the new schedule increased trips
from five to six and heightened out the day
greatly. it did not raise the mems pay.

Some Plain Talk by Members In Regard

LONDON, August 23.-In the House OF

Beach, Chief Secretary for Ireland, reply
ing to Mr.. Sexton. said: 1.-The commission
appointed to inqdire into the Belfast riots
consisted of Gen. Sir Redvers Butler and
two Irish Observation-Disclosures. French and
Adams" He also said the Government
proposed to add to the commission an

tary, in reply to Howarth, said the report

an address in reply to the Queens speech,
said that Lord Randolph Churchil's
recent electoral manifesto was an insult
to the Radical party. He (Labouchere)
was surprised that Harrington had never
r%epudiated the language applied by
Churchill to Gladstone. He tainted the
Wings with being disguised Tories. Be-
sides the Wings, he continued, there
was the Birmingham gang under
Chamberlain. The family of the latter had
doubtless done efficient municipal service,
and Birmingham, therefore, out Of sheer
gratitude, had subordinated Imperial
interests to municipal gratitude. Outside
of Birmingham the Chamberlains had no
influence whatever.
Chamberlain thought no scheme could be
a good one unless he was the author OF it.
Chamberlain would continue in his down.
ward career until he should be gazetted as
Lord Chamberlain. (Laughter.) The
speaker urged Irishmen to continue their
efforts by legitimate means to obtain their
rights as a nation struggling to be free.
(Cheers.) The followers OF ParneIl had a
right to be proud Of their leader. The &C.
cusation that they were mercenary and re-
ceiving aid from America came with ill
grace from English members who were not
above %pecuniary aid from the Ducal house
election.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach said it was the
duty OF the Government to restore order
in Ireland with law as it then found it.
move 81 amendment to the address in
stead Of attempting to stab the Govern
ment behind the back. If it was true
that the Government has encouraged out

they ought to be ~impeached. The Govern
ment proposed two things: To administer
law and to consider carefully the scheme

popular basis. [Parnellite laughter The
latter scheme would be framed as far as
possible to meet the exigercies of Ireland
[cheers] but in accordance with the YER

was their whole policy. The Government
hoped that when their terms OF
Office closed they would leave Ire
land more peaceful, orderly and pros
porous than they had found it. Cheers.
