His Account of How the Shooting
Occurred.
Chas. L. Maurice, who was arrested
for attempting to shoot MIR. Griffin at
No. 13 Aurora street, was yesterday ex-
amined before Justice Austin. Maurice
testified that on Monday night last he
bought revolver from a man, who
was hard up, for $1.50. He afterward
went into Landen's house where he
roomed and had conversation with
Griffin his mate. During the CONVEX
sation Maurice called Griffin liar.
Shortly afterward he was proceeding
to take off his coat and at the same
time took out the newly purchased
revolver and was going to lay it on the
bed, when the two inmates Of the
house, Langden and his brother.
rushed at him, and in the scuffle that
ensued the pistol was discharged. His

FISH AND FISHING.
A Few Notes About The Salmon Hatch
cries.

The fish commissioners will be
through with their work at the Clack-
amas hatchery by the middle of JAN
uary. By that time all the eggs will
be hatched out and the young fish
placed in the river to work out their
own destiny. Early in the present
month a freshet washed out the
rock, and all the salmon went up the
river to deposit their spawn.
Professor Stone painted the house
at the hatchery and otherwise i'm
proved everything about the hatchery
and turned il over to the fish CON-
missioners in good shape.
Professor Livingstone Stone, Unit
ed states fish commissioner, is at the
McCloud hatchery. He expects to
turn out large number of young
salmon.
At r. d. Hume's hatchery at El-
lensburg. on the Rogue river, there
are about 400 salmon in the basin.
These will yield enough eggs to hatch
out at least 100000 young salmon.
The eggs are being placed in the
Matching troughs at the rate of from
$4,000 to 100000 per day. This
hatchery is owned by Mr.. Hume, but
the state appropriated $4,000 to help
him in his good work.
At the present rate of Matching
salmon it will not be long before Or
egon waters will produce more salm-
on than ever before. The good work
should 60 brayely on.-NeaCS, 81.

A CRIME OF THE SEA,
Death OF Peter Williams. Who Shipped
From Astoria.

SAN Francisco, Nov. 26-The bark
Tbos, s. Sto1C, bound from Liverpool
to this port, is now 81 days out.
When she arrives here an investiga-
tion will probably be held as to the
death of Peter Williams, one of her
officers, an American, who shipped
from Astoria for the round trip.
Williams was taken on shore at
Queenstown and placed in a hospital,
where he died a few days later. An
inquest was held over the remains,
during which it transpired that when
the vessel had been ont from Astoria
about two weeks Williams was dis
erted for incompetency. The sailors
would not tolerate him in the fore
castle on account of certain charac-
teristics which he displayed, and he
was obliged to occupy a small COM
partment under the forecastle head.
The inquest revealed several nbra-
sions and scalp wound about three
inches in length at the base OF the
skull of the deceased, which had laid
bare the bone. The second officer
testified that Williams had claimed
that some of the crew had burned
him, and the marks of burns were
discovered on his body. The coro.
ner's jury found that Williams had
died from the effects of two wounds
on the head, which had injured an
already softened brain, and recon-
mended that the most searching in
vestigatIon should be made at the
first American port at which the yes.
sci should touch.-OregopiGn.

Reducing the SURPLUS.

The disposition of the Surplus in the
U. s. Treasury engages the attention of
our Statesmen, but more vital question
has our attention, and that is the reduc-
ton of the Surplus ConSumptives. Since
the discovery and introduction of DR..
Kings New Discovery for COnsump
ton, there has been q marked decrease
in the mortality from this dreaded dis
ease, and it is possible to still further re-
duce the number of Consumptives.
How? By keeping constantly at hand
a bottle of DR.. Kings New Discovery,
and using according to directions, upon
the appearance of the first symptoms,
such as a Cough, Cold, Sore Throat.
a Chest or Side Pain. Taken thus early
a cure is guaranteed.

THE COOK ISLANDS.

THERE is nothing very alarming In
the fact that Cook Islands have re-
Gently been placed under the British
flag. They are not very important in
q commercial sense. But many years
ago, English missionaries, Wesleyans
presumably, went to these islands, es
tablished missions, and schools, and
finally converted majority of the ma
tives to Christianity. They accom-
plished work similar to that which
had been wrought many years before
in the Hawaiian Islands. The ma
tives are no longer cannibals, but
have accepted good degree of civil
ization. The latest authorities give
the population of this group of islands
at 1000, with this distribution:
Mongia, 5000; Raratonga, $500; Atiou
1000, with few hundreds on some of
the smaller islands. Raratonga is the
most important missionary station, it
being the center of missionary opera
tions for large number of stations in
the Hervey Archipelago. The popu-
lation is of Malay origin. This small
group of islands is situated to the
westward of the Society Islands.
As English missionaries have re
deemed the islands from barbarism by
a large expenditure of effort an6
money, they would naturally belong
to England whenever the time came
that a native government could no
be maintained, or there might be dan
ger that they would pass under thu
dominion of some other country
Great Britain has never been slow t.
annex territory. 1t is probable tina
the English missionaries asked for tn,
protection of the British flag.
All the great island world of tn
Pacific is rapidly becoming part o
the territory of European nations
The Germans and the French hav
been very active of late in acquiring
islands in the Pacific. Oceanica j
being parceled out to the first comers
or to those who first assert the righ
of dominion.
The Caroline islands, which ha,
been brought under the influence o
Christianity by American mission
aries, have become part of the terri
tory of Spain. AS long as the popula
ton was in condition of barbarism
these islands were not thought to b
of any commercial importance, al
though Spain had a nominal clair
upon them. But when the native
had been raised to a good standar'
of civilization, and had begun to pro
duce wealth by their own industry
then the commercial Importance o
the islands invited new exhibition
of Spanish authority. The Cool
islands probably will never have an.
great commercial Importance. Blu
much or little, they have become on
of the British possessions, and thei
destiny is fixed for the present. Their
are still great many small island
left in the Pacific over which the fla
of no civilized nation has yet beel
raised.
