Mr.. Fields Violent when Drunk.

WALLA WALLA, Aug. 1.-THE suit for
divorce by Fletcher Fields against Sarah
Fields is becoming interesting. On Satur-
day afternoon Mrs. Fields, her son aged
% years, and Mr.. and Mrs. Williams
started in a carriage for the residence of
Mrs. Fields, several miles from Walla
Waila. Before leaving they were met by
Fields. who, seemingly forgetful OF the
damaging testimony which he had
given ageinst his wife's good char
acter during the trial, made certain
proposals, offering a sum of money
ranging from 81 900 ND If she would grant
his request. One osai was that she
allow him to aecompony her home, which
she refused. Another was that if she
would accompany him to room in the
Exchange hotel he would pay her the sum
of $100 and allow her to take charge of the
two little children now under his care for
one week. This was refused. The
party drove toward home, and
after proceeding several miles were
suddenly confronted by Fields, who
demanded his rights as a husband,
using the most obscene language toward
his wife. His son says that Fields seemed
intoxicated. and stated that he had gun,
and dared the whole party to come out and
fight him. Addressing the boy. he told
him he should be ashamed of his mother.
and If he had any manhood he would
alight from the wagon and fight. Fields
suddenly attacked the young man with a
whip, striking him on the head and face,
and at the same time threatening the life
of his wife repeatedly. This caused her
return to this city for protection, where she
entered complaint. Fields was arrested
and bound over IN the sum OF $500 to ap-
pear in the morning.

PORTLAND GNAws THE FILE.
That City is to Blame for Oregon's Anti
Census Agitation.
Washipgton Civ speciaI

Washington City Special
The Oregon delegation has presented the case
to the census bureau. having called on both Sec.
retary Noble and superintendent Porter and de-
manded that the state be recounted There is
considerable doubt as to the authority OF the
secretary to order o recount. Besides there is q
considerable feeling against taking any such
action The recount Of the whole state means
the delay Of the census returns much beyond
the time allowed for the work. Nothing has
been received at the census office from Super
visor Kelly, although Senator Mitchell has pri-
vate dispatch from him. Superintendent Porter
has received the following from J. W. Strange,
supervisor of the second Oregon district.
Il have taken pains to learn the sentiment of
the public In relation TO the census work in this
district, and find there is no dissatisfaction Of
consequence. There is some disappointment a.
objections to the work by submitting approxi-
mate results. The mayor of The Dalles, which
has 5000 and claimed 400. he president of the
city council OF Pendielon. which had 200 and
Claimed 500. lea.iinE citizens of Baker City.
which has 2.50U and claimed 8. 500. have all GER
ufed 10 me that they are satisfied with the
work. The people OF Portland are very much
dissatisfied, aud the attempt TO create uiss. ts-
faction in this district emanated soiely from
thai place have YET 10 Sc the first camp.aint
from paper In this distract after the wurK was
mpieted. Portland people nave sought to
create such feeling in this district, but have
sgnaily failed. The last thing is Tor the Port
land Chamber Of Commerce to telegraph askiag
the Pendleton Board of Trade TO telegraph 9
demand that the Oregon congressional delega-
tion appeal to the secretary OF the interior for
recount for the entire state under the superv 3
ion OF competent supervisors. The p, ndleton
Board of Trade has so far ignored this request,
and the leading members have stated to me they
do not wish recount Complaint has bAen
raised that Harney county shows too sm9H
population. I have letters from several OF the
leading ci liens of that county sayit the work
has been well and faithfully done. My estimate
of the population of my entire district on June
!. after mad consulted by letter persons from
each enumeration district, was $4,000, and the
returns gave M 1000. So far as the citizens of
this district are s0i cerned, they do not desire
recount, and viii protest against it as being use
less AMI unnecessary"
Such disnatch as that will have more weight
with the bureau than the kilograms IRON the
ciizeps aud boards of trade backed by the de-
nands of the delegation. To recount the state
OF Oregon would mean that the census wi / De
discredited all over the country, aud Superin-
iendent Porter is desrous of avoiding just that.
One of Porter's neutenants said today that
there would be no recount in Oregon

Player Parrott.
SPOKANE FALLS. Aug. 11.-It has leaked
out that Manager Harris indefinitely sus-
pended Tom Parrott at the close of the
third inning yesterday, owing to the lat
ter's vigorous kicking about the playing of
left field. 1t Is said by disinterested per-
sons, among them members of the Spokane
team. that it is all spiiework on Harris
part and that he has been laying for Par
rott ever since Portland citizen offered to
make up his salary from $iO0 to $l50 per
month. At that time Harris refused
to raise the salary, on PARROTS refus-
oil to play for less than $780, when the
patriotic citizen stepped in. This Is the
cause of Harris antagonism to Portland's
favorite pitcher.

The editors of the State in conven-

invitation sent by the Twin-City to
hold their next session in their town.
The Twin City is to be congratulated
on this acceptance. The editors will
lay aside their labors for a week and
come bringing to our midst their wit
and wisdom, fun and frolic. We will
have an opportunity to show them our
mammoth factories and warehouses,
our street railway and big hotel, our

dences and paved boulevards.
To the editors of the State, we
would say, Come! The freedom of our
city will be yours. After you have seen
all the sights and heard all the sounds
after your head has been made to
swim by the din of business and the
whir of machinery-you may come
into our sanctum, smoke our cigars,
and elevate your feet to the extreme
point of comfort. Our latchstring
hangs on the outside, gentlemen.
