Huntington Talks.

WAsHNGToN, Feb. IO.-By appoint
ment, Q. 7. Huntington, vice president
Of the Central Pacific Railroad company,
appeared to-day before the house com
mi!tee on Pacific railroads to'gIve his views
upon the pending legislation touching
those roads and to explain the resources
Of the Central Pacific Railroad company.
He said he did not como to make aspeech
or argument, but only to have a talk with
the committee. The settlement of the
Central Pacific debt was a very old mat
ter and somewhat irritating, and he would
very much like to have it settled. He
wished to see if an agreement could not
be reached by which the government
could come into its own and the company
preserve its property. He had been with
the road since its organization and his as
s~ociates were all neighbors of his and
came into the enterprise at mis- personal
solicitation, and none of the company's
employees had worked harder.
Men who went over the road in a pa.
lace car said it could not have cost much,
but it had cost a great deal of work.
Huntington continued at some length and
went over the same ground. he did
when before the Pacific railroad investiga-
hon committee in New York some months
ago, In conclusion he made a PROPOSE
ton for a settlement of the debt of the
Central Pacific on q basis of $50 semi-an-
nual payments, and extension Of hltv-
two years, he said, with interest at 4 per
cent,

violent explosion had occurred at Du-
points powder works at Wapwallopen,

roofs of buildings and children ran in ter
ror from the school house. Men and
women focked towards the mines, where
they thought the explosion happened, and
where members of their families were at
work. At ShickshinDy the glass in almost
every window was broken, and many per-
son we're thrown to the ground. At
Wapwallopsn nearly every building was
damaged or wrecked. Besides the killed,
over forty persons were injured, fourteen
of whom it Is said will die.
None OF the injured will die. The in
iuries are mostly by flying fragments.
The new Methodist church at Wapello,
Pa, 300 feet away, was completely
wrecked. No trace of the packing house
is left, not even the foundation. Rocks
weighing wei a hundred pounds were
blown to the top of a mountain a quarter
of a mile away.

OREGON WILD CATTLE.
The Strange Breed ThEt Inhabits tho Top
of tho Umpquu Mountains.

The Strange Breed ThEt Inhabits the Top
of the Umpquu Mountains.
California sportsman can now 20 up
to Oregon and shoot wild CATTLE said
John Day, an tmpqua mountain pioneer,
referring to the complcion9 OF therdilroad.
1T is a fact that there are hundreds OF
wild cattle in the high hills alir.ing the
Umpqua valley, and some Of them are
not more than n couple Of mile from the
railroad track. SolHeof these cattle, too,
are % years old or more. In the noun
ain near Riddles and Rosebud they r
probably the thiClcst, but they do not
venture Town in the valley much. They
stay in the tops Of the hills aud get water
from the living springs which rise there.
For the most part they are concealed in
the dense growth of oak and fir in these
mountains. There is heavy uudeIbush,
too, so that it is a hard matter to get on
to them. They go in bands Of six or
eight usually, but at night q herd of forty
or fifty get together and lie down in the
same yard-that is, they sleep ON tho
same spot, which is usually n secluded
place among the trees. \ band of wild
cattle have been known to get together
on a cleared place like this every night
for n couple of years.
"When feeding there arc always n few
bulls to act as sentinels. While the cat
tie Craze in bands of half a dozen or so,
they are nevertheless close to other bands,
so that at any alarm from any one Of the
bulls, which lcisurcly feed on higher
ground, they all run away together.
"The cattle are of all Colors and wilder
than deer. 1t is n hard matter to get n
shot at them for tho reason that their
scent is so keen. They can smell a man
a long distance Off. They got wild in
1858 when the Old man Riddles and two
or three others of the first settlers came
to the valley. Their COWS wandered off
and could not be found. After two or
three years, all the pioneers had to do
when they wanted beef was to rig out
two or three pack animals and go up into
the mountains. The cattle had to 10
killed on sight the same as deer or bear,
for they could no moro be driven down
than deer could. Once killed they wero
quartered, packed on tho horses, and car
ried down. They have been hunted a
good deal Of late years, go that there are
not as many as there used to be.
''Some Of the cattle are very large and
fat. L have caught glimpse8 Of bulls in
the top Of the Umpqua hills that aston
ished inc. A bull / saw in the fan of
rs on the head of the Rogue river 1 am
certain would weigh f,400 pounds.
There is good grazing in the mountains
all the year round. A popularity about
these cattle IS that their eyes and horns
are jet black. The rotina, iris and the
whole apple Of the eye are one mass of
black. You can't distinguish any differ
encc in any part Of it,. The horns, too.
while being black as ink, are long and
very sharp. Brought to bay, the Oregon
wild cattle are very wicked fighters. -

Discussing the Reading STRIKE.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The special
committee to investigatethe Pennsylvania
labor trouble listened to an informal state
ment from Representative Brumm, whose
district is in the Reading regions. He
thought the whole lockout was fOstered
by the Reading company. He declared
that the blame of refusing to arbitrate
rested on the railroad officials. After the
first interview with Superintendent Swell
CERT, said Brumm, representatives of the
men had attempted, they said, to send
kilograms declaring the strike off and
ordering the men back TO work, but the
Western Union Telegraph company. which
to a considerable extent was controlled by
the Reading company, had refused to
send some messages and delayed others,
and when in consequence many OF the
men at distant points did not return to
work the company had the next day
laughed in the strikers faces.
The hearing will be continued to-mor-
row.
