PLENTY OF MUSIC.

Return of Washington's Delegate to the
National Musical Convention.
Week before last the National
Musical Society held it's fourteenth
annual session ut Detroit, Mich,
lasting an entire week. There were
present about 1000 of Americas
most distinguished musical artists,
orchestra conductors, etc. Even
DIR. Bonneli, of san Francisco, who
operates on the fingers of piaDists,
Virgil, with his miniature piano:
the techniphone, the techmion, the
music leaf turner fellow, the con-
vention leader, with his books con-
tanning "brand new and original
idea'-all, all were there.
The Russell house had more grand
pianos In its spacious rooms than IL
will probably ever again have, being
the exhibits of all the leading maxi
ers of the country. The Farrand
and Notey organ factory went so far
as to build large S., 900 pipe organ,
and place IL at the disposal of all for
the great event in the Detroit opera
house.
The East and the West, North,
South, Canada, and Europe were
even represented by delegates.
American composers works were
heard to their best advantage, and
IL is needless to say the old masters
were not overlooked.
The next meeting Will be held In
Minneapolis in 1892. j. III. Holme.
the executive genius of Detroit, and
one of Americas foremost minds IN
the divine art, was unanimously
elected president for the ensuing
two years.
In 1893 the society will furnish
the entire music for the Columbian
exhibition in Chicago.
DIR. Florence Zeigfeld, wonderful
man, both musically and in an
executive sense, was unanimously
elected vice president.
This willundoubtedly be the great
est affair of its kind ever held in the
history of music in this or any other
country. Thus Is America gradually
taking the stand In art, In which
the old world up to this time has
held monopoly. Great is American
genius and enterprise.
Professor +. Mueller has returned
from the East, where he went to at
tend the musical convention at De-
troit. He is the vice president for
this state, and reports California,
Oregon and Nevada as represented.
On his motion resolution was
passed sending cordial greeting to
all musically inclined OH the Pacific
coast and the Northwest. Those
cities having public libraries will be
honored with musical literature of
the most entertaining character.
Mrs. May Byers, the soprano of
Spokane, was elected member of
the convention held i'm Detroit lately.

Black Bast Robs the Cariboo Stage.
Victoria Colonist.

Black Bast Robs the Cariboo Stage.
Victoria Colonisl.
The most daring stage robbery
chronicled in the history of British
Columbia was perpetrated on the
b. &. Express Company's stage
which runs from Cariboo TO Ash
croft, on Monday evening at about
8 O'Clock, involving loss of about
$4,000. On the road at the ninety
seven mile-post masked man met
the stage and at the muzzle of "a
Winchester called halt, demand
ing the treasure. The driver offered
"a bag with $1,000 I'm it, but the rob-
ber refused to take it. He said he
wanted the safe, and didu't intend
to make third request, so he was
allowed to take the iron safe. After
throwing 1t from the stage, and
saluting the driver aud single pas
senger with mock politeness, fol-
lowed with a volley OF the most pro-
fame language, the robber ordered the
stage TO drive on. Usually the
stage Is not worth much, but as il Is
washing up time now, the man
knew his game, and took q good
time to make his attack, indicating
a thorough acquaintance with the
nelghborhood and the arrangements
of the express company. A possee
of Indians and a white leader are on
the hunt, and Constable Burr, of
Ashcroft, has joined in the chase.
The method pursued by the robber
Is exactly similar to that of the cele-
brated Black Bart. Mondays
makes the third stage robbery ofthe
same kind on the old Cariboo road,
but on the previous occasions two
men instead of one did the work.
Their identity has never been dis
covered, but 1t is supposed that they
were residents OF the locality, en-
couraged TO crime by temporary i'm
pecuniosity.

These figures, though much
smaller than few years ago, yet
show our live stock industry TO be
far from insignificant. This county
has well toward million and q
quarter i'm live stock wealth.
Special surprise was expressed by
the assessor as to the sheep returns.
81 had expected some $4,000 or
10000 sheep in the county" he said,
"but the sheep, | find, have been
chiefly sold or driven away to other
ranges better adapted to them, and
20 the number is small now CON-
pared to what 1t was few years
ago. The stock industry ms whole"
Mr.. Boone continued, "is rapidly de-
creasing In Whitman. Large bands
of horses and cattle are being al
most daily sold and taken out of the
country, and the increase Is not
equal to the outgo. AS conse-
quence we are losing in stock year
by year,
The bulk of our stock to-day Is
found on our western border. The
great stock ranges are all west of
range AZ. And In this great do
main, where formerly grazing was
almost the exclusive industry, the
land is now being settled more
thickly, and that which was thought
to be useless for culture is found 10
be fine and fertile. A country well
adapted to agriculture can not be
permanently a grazing region; and
this fact Whitman is rapidly prov
ing to-day. Our great dependence
IL agriculture; but our showing in
stock Is nevertheless sufficient
cause for congratulation.

THE CHARLEsTON,s MISSION.
Rumors That She Has Gone to Honolulu
to Prevent Disorder.

VALLEJO, Cal, May 23.-Previous to
the departure of the Charleston, the
Vallejo Chronicle says, the vessel was
expected to go to South America, but
her sealed orders will take her, instead,
to Honolulu. A naval officer in posi-
ton to know is authority for the state
ment that probable trouble on the con-
vening of the Hawaiian legislature when
the new members of both houses take
their seats and new officers are to be
selected, is the reason, and it is under
stood that the vessel goes at
the request of the Hawaiian min
ister. 1t is, moreover, rumored
that the officers have instructions
to put her to her fastest speed, and try
to beat all previous records between San
Francisco and Honolulu. This rumor is
hardly to be credited, as to do this
would exhaust her coal bunkers. An
other rumor has it that the vessel is to
return in six weeks to assist at the trial
trip of the San Francisco.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-Mr. Carter, the
Hawaiian minister, denies emphatically
the truth of the report telegraphed from
Maze island, to the effect that he had re-
quested that the cruiser Charleston be
sent to Honolulu to prevent possible
trouble on the assembling of the
Hawaiian legislature

LARD COMPOUND.
Congressman Wilson Thinks Taxing it
Will Not Benefit the Farmers.


WASHINGTON, May 23.-Wilson, of Ken
lucky, today submitted to the house,
from the committee on agriculture, a
report containing his views on the bill
reported by the committee on agricul-
ture, taxing compound lard. From the
arguments presented before the commit
tee in favor of the bill, the inference is
drawn, the report says, that the imme-
diate result of its enactment will be to
increase the value of every hog in the
United States 80 cents, in the farmers
hand. The claim that the depreciation
in the value of swine and lard is due to
the manufacture of lard compound,
Wilson holds, is not to his mind estab-
lished. The greatest injury to the
farmer and his hog crop comes from the
unscrupulous methods of the packing
house and stockyard buyers. Wilson is
reluctant to enforce the measure, which
he believes, will either increase the
price or restrict the sale of healthful
food, and which would do the farmers
no good, but the laboring man an in.

Long and Short Haul Decision.
The interstate commerce commission
today decided the case of Lehman ct
al, of Humboldt, Kan, against the
transcontinental lines for charging a
higher rate on sugar from San Francisco
to Humboldt than to Kansas City, a
longer distance. The commission holds
that the lower rate to Kansas City was
forced on the carriers by competitive
conditions, and that the rate to Hum
boldt was not only not unreasonable,
but lower than it would be except for
the conditions on the Kansas City rate.

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
Consideration of the River and HarboI
Bill Continued.

Bill Continued.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-In the house
today, Flower, of New York, introduced
bill subjecting oleomargarine to the
provisions of the laws OF the several
states. Referred.
On motion of Vandever, of California,
from the committee on irrigation, a reso-
luton was adopted, calling upon the
secretary of war for information relative
to the climate of Arizona, New Mexico
and parts of the arid region.
The house then went into committee
of the whole on the river and harbor
bill.
Post, OF Illinois, offered an amend
ment appropriating $3.50, 900 for securing
a continuous navigable waterway be-
tween Lake Michigan and the Missis-
sippi river, and continuation of the
survey of the Illinois river.
Henderson objected that the COM
mittee had not considered the PROPOSE
ton.
Vandever, of California, said jealousy
between Chicago and st. Louis hitherto
prevented the adoption of this grand
national project Of connecting the lakes
and the Mississippi; project which
would certainly be carried out in the end
and place Chicago at the head of Mis-
sissippi navigation, as well as in COM
mand of lake navigation.
Hill, of Illinois, explained that the
Hennepin canal was entirely indepen-
dent of this proposition.
Catching, of Mississippi, moved an
amendment by fixing the appropriation
at $125,000.
This was accepted by Post, but the
entire proposition was rejected by the
house. When the paragraph appropri-
ating $780, 900 for the construction OF the
Illinois and Mississippi (Hennepin)
canal was reached, Turner, OF Georgia,
made the point of order that the COM
mittee had no jurisdiction over canals.
Pending a decision, the committee
rose and the house took recess until
evening.
