RAIDS BY HORSE THIEVES.
Regularly Organized Band at Work
in Washington.


ST. PAUL, MINI, July A special from
Spokane Fails, Wash, to the Pioneer Press
says: "The horse thieves have made grand
round up in Eastern Washington and
Northern Idaho during the past few days.
The method of their operations indicates
that they have a regular band, with a
leader and members sufficient to
cover a large area of country. On
Sunday last they rendezvoued near here
and hastened away with fifty horses toward
British Columbia, through the Flathead
Indian country in Northern Montana. A
ranch near this city was visited Sunday
night and several fine animals were
stolen, including valuable roadster,
owned by DR.. G. s. Henfield the city
physician A Walla Walla farmer reports
the loss Of fifty head, which he traced to
within a few miles OF Spokane Falls. Will
lam Lewis of Cheney lost a stallion for
which he recently paid 81, 200.
ORGANIZING FOR PURSUIT.
"a large number of ranchers are here
organizing for pursuit, but there is little
hope of success, as the villains have several
hundred miles start and doubtless are
thoroughly acquainted with the country,
which is very rugged and little Travelled.
Some of the thieves are known to the
police as desperadoes who would not halt at
the sacrifice of human life rather
than submit to capture. A
small posse started last night under direc-
ton of Deputy United States Marshal
Warren, and kilograms have been sent to
various points in Montana requesting rein
forcemcnts. A battle is sure to occur if the
posse overtakes the thieves"

A BIG TIME AT PORTLAND.
The Celebration in Honor of the Army
of the Potomac.

Tne CeleDratiOn in Honor of the Army
of the Potomac.
PORTLAND, ME-, July 4.-The Fourth of
July celebration given by the city of Port
land in honor of the Army of the Potomac
was a great success in all particulars.
During the afternoon there were occasional
showers, but they were not heavy enough
to drive the people indoors. Tonight the
weather was favorable for the fireworks.
The celebration opened early in the morn
ing with the usual din Of guns and ringing
of bells.
The parade consisted of 500 men from the
naval vessels stationed in the harbor. Next
came all the militia companies in the state,
the grand army posts, Sons of Veterans
and Knights of the Golden Eagle.
THE REVIEWING PARTY.
The parade was reviewed by distinguished
guests and veterans of the army, from a
grand stand in Lincoln park. In the center
were stationed Gems. Sherman, Hannibal
HamliA Devins, Porter and Collins, Ad-
miral Gherardi and staff, Gov. Burleigh
and staff, and Others Just before the
parade began Gen. Butler, wearing a white
cap, stepped on the platform and was cordi-
ally greeted.
After the parade the prominent generals
embarked on a steamer for Little Cheabe-
que, where a clam bake was served to 800
people, members of the army and citizens
of Portland.
The crowd returned from the clam bake
to the city to witness the fireworks.
During the day great crowd visited the
war vessels
During the afternoon Gen. Sherman and
Secretary Proctor visited Admiral Cher
hardi on the Baltimore, and a salute was
fred in their honor.

HOPES OF THE RADICALS
THE NEW STATES AND THE CEN
SU5 COUNTED ON FOR 1899.

Even Montana Counted as Republican
in the Calculations of Chairman
Quay-Superintendent Porter's Force
Making Rapid Progress in Tabulating
the Returns of the Enumerators.
WASHINGTON, July 4.-Chairman Quay
and the other republican managers count a
great deal in their calculations for 1892
upon the new electoral votes of the north
west. They count all the new states as
surely republican, ignoring the fact
that Montana is really democratic. so
they reckon upon nineteen votes North
Dakota 8. South Dakota 4, Montana 8,
Wyoming 8, Idaho 3, and Washington, 81
as absolutely certain to be
added to the republican column. Besides
this they count on the census returns to
give the republicans from ten to twenty
more new electoral votes than the dem
ocrats. Senator Quay has announced that
no democratic territory is to be admitted to
the union under the present administration.
If territory wants admission to the union
it might send a republican delegation to
congress and promise its electoral vote TO
Senator Quay.
PoRTER's PROMISE.
Census Superintendent Porter has informed
the republican leaders that the first count
Of the population Of the country may be
completed by Aug. l. This is what is
termed in the census Office 'the rough
count" but is all that is necessary as q
basis for q reapportionment for con-
gress among the several states.
Should it be completed by Aug. it will
be an Unprecedented achievement. The
returns are coming in from the supervisors
much more promptly than ever before.
For example, only one return was in the
census office on July l, 1880, whereas on
July /, 1890, several thousand had been
received; but it is the adoption Of electricity
to the tabulation of the returns which en-
ables the census Office to promise such
speedy results.
THE RAPIDITY IN THE COUNT.
The most expert clerk in the census office
in 1880 could tabulate only 5000 or 1900
names day, but with the electrical count
ing machines now in use, the average clerk
can count from 10000 to 10000 names a
day, the maximum being $4,000. By
Monday the census office will
be tabulating 2,500,0O0 day,
which, allowing for all delays, recounts and
other accidents, would enable the census
superintendent to lay the returns of the
population before congress on Aug. l.
Whether the reapportionment shall then be
made, or at least attempted, is as yet unde-
cided in the republican council. 1t is largely
a question Of expediency.
MIGHT TRY TO FoFCE REAPPoRTIoNMENT.
If the republicans want the next House,
and the census returns, as they expect,
show decreases south and east and increases
in the northwest, they might try to force a
reapportionment. Though Speaker Reed
could do it in the House, it is doubtful if it
could be put through the Senate in time to
be utilized in the November elections. The
democrats and conservative republicans
would, Of course, resist any such prema-
turely hasty legislation should the republi-
cans attempt it. Congress will be in session
till October at the BEST
