EUGENE CITY, May 25.-Hon d. P.
Thompson and Lydell Baker addressed
large audience in the courthouse last night.
Baker made fine speech, favoring a pro-
tective tariff and touched upon State mat
ters at the close. Thompson, who has never
been a public speaker, astonished every
body and made the speech of the campaign,
answering, exposing and refuting with facts
and figures each and every charge that Gov
ernor Pennoyer has made against him, and
showing up Penuoyer's copperheadism dur
ing the rebellion, his hobbies and vagaries
since, and his neglect, incompetency and
demagoguery as Governor. He showed that
the lock and dam swindle. as Pennoyer calls
1t, was prepared by Barney Goldsmith, the
present Chairman of the Democratic State
Committee, passed in 1870 by the Legisla-
tdre, which was Democratic in both
branches, and signed by a Democratic Gov
ernor. Governor Thompson. then Sena-

from the opposite side of the river, and has
no connection with the locks and is not in

statements concerning his salary as Mayor
OF Portland and the changing Of the water
front in his own interest were shown by the
records to be false. He will, if elected Gov
ernor, veto any bill authorizing non-taxable
bonds, and will not sign such bills as PEN
noyer says he did without knowing what
they contained. He spoke rapidly in an off

II takes a mighty small thing to stir up
strife and possible bloodshed in Kentucky.
The killing of measly dog in this Frank
linz County has resulted in a costly lawsuit,
in which the entire neighborhood has taken
sides, and the indications are that feud
will yet grow out of it.
James Ford, wealthy and influential
farmer living near Middleton, owned dog,
and Josephus Reeder, also wealthy and in
nuentlal, and living in the same neighbor-
hood, owned flock OF sheep. Somebody's
dog got among the sheep and there was
slaughter Reeder had reason to believe
that Ford's dog was the four legged butcher,
and when he met the animal in the road he
hlied his carcass with buckshot Ford
ana Reeder net soon after and
high words passed between them.
The outcome was that Ford filed
suit against Reeder for $50 damages for the
loss of his dog. The trial began Tuesday
and was concluded Wednesday evening, the
Jury falling to reach verdict. The case
Will be called for trial again at the August
term of court The costs are now up In the
hundreds, and, as both men are deter
mined, 1t is probable they will reach the
thousands before the end comes. Walker &

tol Wound.
SACRAMENTO, May pa mysterious
killing is agitating the police tonight
This morning telephone message
was received at the station-house, an
sae suburbs, near the north levee.
Officer Farrell went out TO investigate and
met Deputy Sheriff Mike Sullivan, who was
already on the ground. Sullivan took the
officer to little unoccupied shanty near
the river, and pointed to the PROSTATE fig
ure of roughly clad man, who had been
shot through the abdomen and was dying.
Both questioned him, but at first he refused
TO tell anything. Finally he said his name
was Ed Goodwin. and that he had come
from San francisco yesterday. Last night,
he said ne hid his blankets in the brush
near the levee, and that two tramps, one
Swede and the other German, who were
camped in freight car near by saw him.
This morning, he said, he returned for his
blankets. but they were gone. He met the
Swede and accused him of their theft The
latter denied taking the blankets and
fight ensued, which eliminated in the
Swede drawing a revolver and shooting
five times at him. The latter than ran
away.
The wounded man was brought to the
Receiving Hospital, but protested all the
way, saying he did not want to go to the
police station.
The officers secured the neighborhood and
found two men who tailed exactly with the
description of the Swede and the other man
and brought them to the station, but when
confronted with the dying man the latter
said he never had seen them. Goodwin was
told that his wound was fatal and the Off
GERS tried to induce him to make dying
statement. he refused and said he would
tell nothing about the affair. An hour later
he died.
The police say that the dead man was a
crook and believe that his story was not
true. Their theory is that he Quarreled with
his accomplices over a division of swag and
secured by the officers and they hope that
the mystery will be unraveled.

Vanderpool and Tommy Hildebrand, all
school children. were badly mangled by
cats. Nearly all the domestic animals IN

there is no telling where the thing will end.
The schools are closed and the men are
hunting for the cats and the pop of the rifle

THE EMPER0R'S PAPER.

How the Present Chancellor Obtained
the Position.
There is story going about Berlin which
reminds one of the Archbishop of Granada
and Gil Bias. Emperor William some
weeks ago sent in an anonymous essay to
the annual competition of the general staff,
which Count Waldersee not only criticized
but ridiculrd. The Emperor, who was
present, became so excited that General
Won Caprivi, who was listening, began to
suspect that his Majesty must be the author
and he at once proceeded to support the
ideas of tho writer, which he eulogized
describing the essay as in every way
admirable. The Emperor then disclosed
the secret and begged Count Waldersee to
tell him candidly whether General Won Cap
rivi had convinced him that his Majesty's
views were correct, the result being that the
Count repeated his former observations, but
in milder terms, and then the Emperor
could not conceal his anger, the result be-
ing that the Count went to Italy for hOli-
day, and probably it WAS General Won

MaJesty's essay which first recommended
him for the post Of Chapcellor. The authors
OF the best three essays in this competition
MAKE their names known after the award
mas been given and the Emperor would
have been delighted, and with reason. If he
had won the prize anonymously, so that he
was much irritated and mortified to find his
paper put aside with scorn and derision.-

ST. JOINS On. F., May 25.-Reports have
been received from st. Georges Bay, on the
east coast of the island, forming part of
what is known as the French shore now In
dispute between England ana France, that
fresh outrages have been perpetrated on
English fishermen by the French, and that
the coast from Cape Ray north to Cape St.
George is in q state of war almost. A
French man. of-war is now cruising in the
bay of st. George, watching the coast over
which France, by the treaty Of Utrecht,
claims exclusive fishing privileges, and she
has ran down several English fishermen,
who we're setting their nets, and has ordered
them to take them up. The Englishmen re-
fused TO obey the order, whereupon the
Frenchmen sent boats crews and removed
the nets by force, confscating them. The
En- glishmen went ashore and called a meet
ing of their friends, who passed a series of
resolutions protesting against the French
mems action, which were telegraphed hither
and thence cabled to England. They also
resolved to re-begin fishing operations, and
If interfered with to arm themselves and
fight the French.
The news Oh being received last night
caused the widest excitement. a pu0lic
indignation meeting WAS held and stirring
resolutions were passed demanding that
England protect the Newfoundlanders in
their nights, and also to require France to
give compensation for the outrage at once.
Late last night orders were received by
Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, commanding
the man-Of-waT Emerald, twelve guns, TO
proceed at once to ST. Georges Bay and look
after the interests uf the English fishermen
there. The Emerald sailed this morning.
1t will take her two days to reach the scene
OF the outrage. Before leaving an endeavor
was made to learn from Sir Baldwin the de-
tails of his instructions, but be declined to
give the information, but said, however,
significantly: 81 am ordered to protect En-
glish fishermen and Englahd's rights. How
i will do it l don't know until l get to st.
Georges"
When the man-0f-war left the harbor
thousands Of people along the shore wished
her success and cheered unanimously.
There is great excitement here and the out
come is awaited with intense anxiety by
the English portion of the Inhabitants. The
French are offered many insults. and
proposition which is receiving much favor
Is to arm a party Of meu and go to tie
French shore and drive the French fisher
men out. The more coOlheaded Of the peo-
pie. however. are working hard to prevent
any violent demonstrations occurring.

Very Little Now Left of the Original
Frigate Constitution.
The Constitution is one of the six frigates
built to protect American commerce from
the depredations Of the North African pi-
rates. Her keel was laid in 1894 at Harts
ship-yard, in Boston. She was victorious
in every battle. and took the Guerriere, the
Java, the Cyane and the Levant. OF the
original ship there remains only a small
part of the deck and two iron stanchions.
She was repaired frequently, but in 1S4S she
had become a mere hulk, and it was pro-
posed to break her up
The proposition called forth DR.. Oliver
Wendell Holmes poem, which caused an
outbreak of popular feeling, and the glori-
GUS old veteran was rebuilt in 1850 at more
than her first cost, by Hart, the son of the
original builder. In 1876 she was again re-
built at Philadelphia by the grandson of
Hart, for there was always much sentiment
associated with the old ship. She never had
steam power, but always remained the
frigate Constitution.
Her last duty was transporting goods to
the French Exposition of 1878, since when
she has been in honorable retirement as a
receiving-ship at tPortmouth.-N. Y. Herald.
