A petition has been sent to Gov.
Pennoyer in regard to the removal OF
the headquarters Of the Third regi-
ment, O. N. G., from this city to East
Portland, by the arbitrary action OF
Col. Morgan, and nothing has been
heard of it since. We do not be-
lieve that the governor, as COM
mander-in-chief of the militia,
will allow such high-handed ac-
tion by one of his s1bordinates,
and it is con6dentlally expected
that he will intervene his authority to
stop this injustice being perpetrated
upon the militia companies and the
citizens OF The Dalles.

of opinions on the silver question as

from that speech in which governor
of Louisiana boasted that his party
habitually was succ c,ssful "by violation
of the constitution of this state and Of
the constitution of the United States.
And he may add that when it was
proposed to check this long continued
supremacy of crime it was objected
that the ''riyhts of states are threat

The letest attempt at conquest in
this country by British capital is by a
syndicate representing $20,000,OOO,
who are trying to buy up all the flint
glass factories in the country. British
money is very much desired to develop
our industries; but English monopoly
is as detestable as American.

ANOTHER FATAL FIRE.

UTICA, N. Y May S.-The larger por
ton of Chenango county buildings, To-
Gated at Preston, near Norwich, burned
at midnight last night, and ten inmates
possibly more-were burned. The builu.
lngs destroyed were the asylum, in which
were about eighty inmates, and the pau.
per house and idiot ward, in which were
forty inmates. Both were three. ory
wooden buildings In good repair, having
wings of two stories in height. They
were velued at $25, 600; insured for $19,.
900, and are total loss. The horrible
part of the disaster was the burning OF
ten idiots, who were penned in their cells
and roasted alive. The origin of the fire
was probably smouldering sparks from a
slight fire which occurred Wednesday
afternoon.
Deborah Dibble, feeble minded old
woman, was smoking pipe and set her
clothing and bedding on fire, and was
burned fatally before the flames could be
extinguished. 1t is supposed the fire
started from some undiscovered smould-
ering sparks from this event
The keeper was awakened by pauper
and attempted to release the idiots. but
was driven back by the fire. He ran
through the other buildings in his night
clothes, rescuing the inmates. The in
sane had to be forced out, and fought
against being released. Most of them
were taken to the Methodist and Univer.
sallst churches till other quarters are pro-
vided.
Some escaped and took to the woods,
where the sheriff and deputies are hunt
ing for them.

SURVEY OF UMATILLA.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-The result of
the consultation between Representative
Hermann and the departments is that the
surveyor general of Oregon will at once
be supplied with FUNDS whereby to en-
gage sufficient clerical AID to complete
the Office work made necessary in the
Umatilla reservation surveys. A good
point toward expeditlng the work OF the
office, such as preparing plats and field
notes, is au order of the department re-
quirlng that as soon as any township sur
vey is completed in the field the Office
may commence the necessary work upon
it at once. In this way it is hoped to
have all the field notes and p!ats en- route
to Washington for approval within a
short time after the actual field work is
complete. Great interest is manifested
by the people of Eastern Oregon and
good results will ensue to the state as
soon as the surplus lands are placed upon
the market.

their families, with thousands of their
fellow citizens in condition of helples,

authorities and fellow citizens in vain,
and comparatively nothing has been done.
A few thousand dollars have been sub
scribed, giving work to some thousands
of the more fortunate of tine many thou

s;stance apparently exhausted the means
or willingness of those who could assist
US. We turn with anxious hearts to the
Federal government trusting, hoping tina,
the government can and will aid US In
our dire distress.
The petitioners suggest that $1,000 900
be loaned to the city and county OF SAT-
Francisco until the California legislature
can meet and pass an enabling act for
the city and county TO issue bonds
covering the amount at per cent. per
