Willamette rivers: and that il viii re-
duce the charge for lighterage in the

difference between shipping charges

make 1t as cheap to ship grain via the
river as via the Sound. This move

THE STANLEY EXPEDITION.

The conviction is growing that the
Stanley expedition has met with a dis
astcr of SOME kind. The time when
authentic Information should have
been received concerning it has long
passed. and the only fragments Of
news that have reached Europe have
been made up from the stories carried
To the Congo by deser.ers from the ex-
petition. These stories are all OF fall
urc and disaster. Some say that the
party has suffered from death and de-
sertien until only few OF the most
devoted followers remain with the eS-
plorer Others are to the effect that
Stanley has been wounded. and that
his camp is now surrounded with hos
tile natives against whom he is max
ing desperate resistance. Still others
say that the great explorer Is dead and
that his expedition has completely
gone to pieces.
The Emin Bey relief comuitte Of
London rilicules these tales Of disas-
ter and declares that there is no rea-
son to believe that the expedition is
not all right. Its members point TO
the rroundless stories OF Stanley's
death which have been received at in
tervals ever since the expedition set
out az illustrations of the unre!iability
of the rumors received through native
channels. and brand all stories OF dis
aster as equally Enthusiastically. They
express confidence that Stanley viii
succeed in reaching Emin Bey and
that authentic news from the expedi-
ton viii soon he received. The pres
en-, alarming stories they attribute 10
deserters. who tell them in order 20
explain their own action in leaving the
expedition.
Ii Is probable, however, that the re-
lief committee docs not really feel so
little anxiety asst msnite>ts. The alb
senec Of news from the expedition is
Of itself cause for alarm. and the un-
reliability Of reports previously re-
ccive,i is no indication tina. the present
ones are equally without foundation.
Stanley should have reached Emin
Bey long before this. ftiscertSin that
he has not done so, and nobody can
do more than guess - to what per
ton of the vast region which the CT.
petition expected TO traverse he is
now in He has evidently met with
some unexpected obstacle, and tina;
obstacle IS probably the opposition OF
the natives This theory is fully horne
out by the stories Of the deSerters who
have reached the Congo and who as
sert that thc party was compelled 10
light sor every mile Of its ps;h and

about equally distant from Enia Bey
and from the nearest stations u the

The recent victories Of the Liberals
At several important bye-elections have
evidently ncrved Gladstone and Par
nell TO make another effort 10 over
throw the Tory government. John
Morley will ON Monday bring before
the house his motion of inquiry into
the government Of Ireland, the con-
sideration OF which Is likely TO give
rise TO the most important debate OF
the session. The government will prob
ably succeed in holding its strength,
but IL will he interesting TO note
whether any Of the Liberai-unionists
desert their cause and return TO the
leadership OF Gladstone 1t Is evident
that the cause of home rule Is gaining
throughout Great Britain, and though
the progress Is exceedingly slow il
must count for something in the end.
1t Is possible that the Salisbury gov
eminent may remain in power until

the English people will never again
place in power a party hostile to the
principle of home rule.

JUSTICE HENRY CARTER
His Decision Regarding the
Bradford Accident.


HAvERuILL. Jan. Il.
Justice Henry Carter has announced the
result of his judicial Investigation into the
cause of the recent Bradford disaster He
finds that the train was not running at an un-
usual rate of speed for an express train and
that no employe of the road was guilty of
any wrong or carelessness sufficient TO war
rant criminal proceedings.
Yet he finds that the train had been and
was run at a speedy hich ought to be no long
er allowed at that particular locality, with its
peculiar surroundings, and the instances of
popular alarm which had been previously
manifested, as shown by vote taken at the
last Bradford town meeting calling for less
speed at that point.
The immediate cause Of the accident jus
tice Carter finds it impossible to determine
with accuracy, the speed of the train, curve,
switch, broken wheel, two broken rails and
the water tank all seeming to be important
factors.
