is division of sentiment in the com.
mittees, and that the question is still
open for evidence and argument, in the
committees with fair prospect of sue
cess. We learn through c. p. Coburn,
who received letter from Governor
Stevenson OF date Wa. hington city, Feb.
IS, to the effect that Mr.. Moore, Of
Moscow, had applied to Dubois in per.
son at Washington to aid him 10 getting
bill 10 remove the county seat, and
Dubois replied to him that he would Go
10 such thing and that ifaDy such bill
was introduced he would appose it and
we also saw letter from Delegate
Voorhees, of date Feb. II, stating that
no such bill had ever been introduced,
aud that he should watc! the proceedings
closely, and ifa bill effecting the present
status Of Nez Perez county should be
introduced, no would do all be could to
defeat it. Gov. Stcvensou's letter to
Coburn states the same thing OF himself.
But We must be yiyilant aud keep our
powder dry.

THE MANITOBA.

There is little doubt that the railroad
known as the Seattle & Lake Shore, nov
building east from Puget sound by tn,
way of the Suoqdemie pass, is intended
to connect with and form part of tn,
Manitoba trauscoutinental. The Seattle
4 Lake Shore is aoundan,ly supplied
with money, which it is said comes IRON
or through Jim" Hill, the head and
controlling spirit of the Manitoba C N
pany. Mr.. Hills road reached Helena
last fall and will soon be at Butte; and il
construction is pushed with the sam,
energy as last season, it is likely tn max,
the connection complete by the end ul the
present year.
1t is understood that Mr.. Hills plans
are only general, aud that their details are
yet to be arranged. He is at this time
studying the conditions and resources of
the country through engineers and agents
and will choose the routes which PROMISE
the best returns upon the money invested.
Ii has been suggested that il the ad
vanta4es Of connection with Portland
by the way Of the Columbia pass (no,th
side) were properly presented to Mr..
Hill, he might be induced to make Port
land one OF his direct terminal points.
In this proposition there is a hint which
our board OF trade would d. wei. to take
to itself 1t could not at this time do ii
better service for the interests which il
stands for than to secure competing rail
line between Portland aud the Columbia
basin. While i, is not likely that the ad.
vautagcs of the Portland connection will
be overlooked 10y SD shrewd mao as Mr..
Hill, there could be no harm in calling
his attention to them; and the assurances
of favor which the act would involve
might and doubtless would have an in
por'ant influence. 10 our jud cement the
board would do we'll to send cou mirtee
to confer with Mr.. Hill. to give him in
form ftion respecting the situation, and
to assure him Of support from our propl..
A natural aud easy route for the Man
itoba road from Butte westward would be-
throu-n the Occur d'Alene mining dis
trict, via the Palouse country, across the
Columbia near the mouth of Snake river
and down the north side OF the pass to
Portland. This would not Interfere with
the proposed branch to Puget sound, bu,
would supplement it, Such line, with
Il few feeders north and south, would
cover all the country iu the Columbia
basin now contributing to both the North
ern Pacific and the o. r. & n. systems.

UNHAPPY CHINA.


SAN FRANCISCO, August 12.-The steamer
City Of Sydney, from Hong Kong and Yoko-
hama, brings particulars of the volcanic
eruptions Of Bandai San on the 18th day of
July. The details of the catastrophe come
in q somewhat disjointed form. The viii
layers around Bandai San heard strange
rumbling sounds and felt shocks Of earth,
quake from the 18th. On the morning of the
18th, about 8 o'clock, the smaller Bandai
San tumbled and roared, and almost imme-
diately afterwards ashes began to fall. The
sky suddenly grew dark, and the rumbling
sounds continued, accompanied by a violent
earthquake and flare of dazzling flames. The
crest Of the smaller Bandai San appeared to
be lifted bodily upwards and then to fall
again with q tremendous noise. Then fol-
lowed showers of red mud, mingled with
large stones, spreading havoc around. In
five villages, Twase, Gasan, Wakamya,
Misata and Hibara, the greater part of the
houses were buried to the depths of from
seven to twenty feet. The state of the bodies
recovered is terrible. Some are literally
cut to pieces, others are partly broiled, so
that it is scarcely possible to distinguish be-
tween men and women. Up to the 18th the
number Of bodies recovered is 476. The
wounded number Al. Elghty-seven houses
have been destroyed. The inhabitants of
Inawashire and the adjacent villages fed to
Wakamatauf and other places when tha
eruption occurred.

New YORK, August 9.-Anarchlst John
Most was a witness before the Emigration
Investigation Committee 10. day. The wit
ness said he believed there were about fifty
million sympathizers with Socialism in the
world, while only about three and a half
millions were openly working in the cause.
In the United States he thought there were
about two million Anarchist sympathizers.
Witness said there were more Anarchists in
Germany now than ten years ago. For the
past twelve months he did not think over q
dozen had come 70 this country. He thought
the number of Anarchists in the United
States had been on the increase of late years,
and ascribed this to the dissemination of
Anarchist literature. They were mostly
Germans, he said.

Nova SCOTIA is a great source Of tim
Der supply to New York. But it costs half
as much as the timber is worth to transport
It by schooners from the forest shores to
Gotham. Some time ago an operator named
Leary conceived the idea of making the logs
up into RATS and towing them to New York
by sea. His first raft was built cigar shape,
dashed and bound together, but went to
pieces while being towed, and there was
much apprehension by sea. faring men that
vessels might strike sections of the raft at
sea and be wrecked. The apprehensions,
however, proved %groundless, as no harm
ever came of them. Recently Leary has
built another-this time in ship form-and it
has been safely lowed to New York. It is
592 feet long, 81 feet beam, 50 feet deep,
draws % feet of water and is composed of
214,0C0 spruce logs, valued at $4,000. It
would have required forty schooners to
transport it, at a cost, of $4,000. The sue
cessful experiment will doubtless induce
others to try the method, much to the disgust
Of seamen, and perhaps to the very serious
danger Of craft. """ 4

HUGH NJ. Brooks, alias Maxwell, who
murdered Charles Arthur Preller in the
Southern Hotel, St. Louis, April 9Th, 1885,
was hung therefor in St. Louis Friday, Aug.
10th, 1883. It has looked doubtful many
times If justice would ever be visited upon
the man, his influential friends doing every
thing to prevent the result, but finally,
despite the quasi. interference of British
Minister West in his behalf, Gov. Moorhead,
Of Missouri, after giving him two hours
respite, refused to further delay execution
of sentence and Maxwell was hung for one
of the most brutal and notorious murders
ever committed in America. The drop
weights were used. A man named Land
graf, who murdered his sweetheart, was
hanged alongside of him.

The Loyal Legion's Tribute to Sheridan.

At . meeting Of the District Of Columbia
Commandery Of the Loyal Legion, At which
Commander Manderson presided, and Of
which Sheridan was . member, . memorial
was adopted of which the following is . por-
ton:
"History has already begun to write upon
her imperishable tablets, in letters that shall
never grow dim, those characteristics that
rank him with the great soldiers Of oil time.
Indefatigable-no labor was too onerous
for him. Resolute-no obstacle appalled
him. Alert-no accident surprised him.
Ready-no disappointment fo;led him OF bis
purpose. Observant-no fact escaped him.
Discreet-he knew where his blow should
fall. Provident-he was always equipped.
Impetuous-he was always safe. His infan-
try charged Is If they were cavalry; his cav
airy resisted as If they we're infantry. En-
thusiastic-his zeal was full of knowledge.
Studious of situation, aware of every acct
dent of position that was made for or against
him, he was ~ careful to urn from the i'm
pregnable as he was eager to carry the
assallable. HIS maps were scored with
highways of attack and t~horoughfares Of
victory. He never g into battle that he
didn't intend and expect and believe be
would win. He "fought to end our fight.
Ing" and every blow told. A commander,
lie was also q leader; q leader, he was also
comrade. Whether by command or exhort-
alton OF persuasion Of example, or by oil
these combined, he SO impressed himself
upon hts forces that they became AZ obedient
weapon, responsive to his resistless purpose
To have served under Sheridan was to have
served with him; to have served with hin
was to have served for lin and IS q part Of
him."
