Trip.
Huntington Herald.
As stated in the last issue of The
Herald, the much talked of and all
important trial trip of the Norma,
between Huntington and Little bar,
on Snake river, was began and last
Tuesday morning. The steamer,
laden with about fifty tons cargo
and thirty persons, comprising
officers, crew and invited guests,
left Huntington landing at
exactly ten o'clock and amid the
cheers of the people who lined the
Oregon shore and the firing of
guns, steamed down the rushing
Snake eager for the the assault on
He'll Gate rapids, the first Oh the
course and one of the most treach-
erous rapids on the entire route.
Arriving at the cascade Capt. Mil
Ter headed the boat straight into
the rapids, and real test of the
prowess of the Norma was begun.
Tossed from one angry wave to
another, she dashed along and
without apparent effort, glided
safely from the seething torrent Of
He'll Gate into the smooth welcome
waters below. Bay Horse rapids
which is more feared on account Of
the numberless rocks lining the
bottom Of the river, than any other
rapid or cascade on the snake, it
was passed in safety, as was Black
smith point, also narrow and
dangerous rapid. From here the
Norma glided smoothly along and
without difficulty, other than
always accompanies a new craft,
equipped with new machinery and
manned by a green crew on u
strange river, steamed safely over
sturgill bar, Wild Horse and Cat
tie rapids and landed at her desti-
nation at Little Bar. Actual run
ming time seven hours, which was
exceedingly good time. considering
this was the first trip eyer
made by steamer over this route.
Wednesday, the second day out,
was spent in procuring wood, a
very poor article, for the return
trip. Thursday, when everything
was supposed to be in readiness
and the fireman was getting up
steam in the boilers, the discovery
was made that the exhaust pipes
would not work and the pumps
that supplied the boilers with
water, were choked up, necessitating
another dely until 3 o'clock in the
afternoon, at which time the whistle
sounded and the Norma started on
the return trip. When darkness
came on she landed for the night
above Cattle rapids, fifteen miles
from Little Bar. Again Friday
morning, wood had to be procured
and parts Of the machinery over
hauled before Captain Miller could
proceed. Half past two had again
arrived when the No, ma was again
under Roadway. Fifteen miles

COMING IMMIGRATION.

There is every indication that
the immigration to this state dur
ing the coming spring and summer
will be larger and of a better class
than ever before. Secretary Mas
ten, of the State Board of immi-
grafton, is in receipt of a large
number of letters daily from peo-
pie throughout the East and Mid
die West, more especially the lat
ter section, who want to know
more of this country than the scam
ty information given in the rail
road guides. Not only are the in
quiries from farmers who wish to
learn facts about crops and the
price of land, but many letters are
received from manufacturers and
other persons, who desire to make
themselves rich by converting our
crude resources into commercial
commodities.
Many inquiries are made con-
cerning the presence and location
of the baser metals and minerals,
and as the interested parties have
been in every instance furnished
with complete and accurate infor-
nation on the subject, Oregon will
probably see during 1891 the
springing up of numerous estab-
lishments for putting in marketa-
Bile condition such articles as

already begun arriving from Kan

matte conditions did not come up

Eighting In Brazil.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13. The Herald has
tine following cablegram from Valparaiso,
Chill: ''News is received here to the eff
lect that the revolt against Fonseca In
the state of RIO Grande de Sui has been
SO far completely successful. In the
fighting, IN which 5000 men we're en-
gagged, it is rumored the government
troops, under General Isadora Gonzales,
were defeated, and the insurgent cavalry
started on a move toward the north. 1t
is also reported that Governor Castillo,
of Rio, has decided to join the insurrec :
zionist movement. The revolutionists
claim the dictator is so sick he finds it
impossible to continue the campaign with
any degree of activity. These statements
ale evidently made by the enemies of
Fonseca, however, for news comes from
Rio de Janeiro that he is displaying great
energy In his efforts to crush the revolt.
He is massing troops and preparing war
ships for an early attack on the revolu
tionlsts. He has applied to the govern
ment of Uruguay for permission to allow
ths passage of troops through that coun :
try in order to reach the state of Rio
Grande de Sui. Uruguay, it is said, has
granted the request. The revolt now IN :
wolves all the towns of the state with the
exception OF Porto Allegro Of the entire
navy only the gunboat Canoen has taken
up the cause of the revolution. The rest
of the navy has remained faithful to Fon-
SEGA. In all probability there will be a
crisis before the end of next week, for it
is expected the forces sent by the dicta-
tor will reach the borders of the state by
that time.

Conflict Is Imminent.

ness of affairs. 1t is reported that the
Sixth regiment Joined the insurgents at
Uruguay Ana. town in the southwestern
part of Rio Grande. It's commander,
Colonel Alosdo, has also gone over.
Besides Uruguay Ana, the towns of Ped
itro Alegrito, Rosario and Itaqual are re
ported to have declared in favor of the
insurgents. The forces Of the new junta
are ssid to number 10000, all well armed
and enthusiastic The leaders are re-
ported to be planning an immediate at
tack on Porto Allegro. The garrison at
Casapara is reported to have joined the
rebels. The troops of the junta at Santa
Aba and Livoamonto are said to be pre-
pairing to march upon Rio Janeiro, and a
conflict seems imminent. The govern
meut fleet at Stagnl, composed to two
monitors and three gunboats, have been
delivered up to the Junta. This has
caused great rejoicing. Mail advices via
Coats say the rebels surrounded the ar
senal at Ataqui yesterday. The arsenal
was defended by 300 government troops.
The rebels demanded Its surrender. The
commander refused. An attack was ex
pec,ed to day. The inhabitants, greatly
alarmed, are fleeing from the town.

Cut.Throat Chilians.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-A disposition
has recently been exhibited by the United
States to sneer at Chilli, but the time may
come when Uncle Sam will be obliged
to contend with that republic for the
supremacy of the new world. 1t is at
present the most aggressive and powerful
of the American nations, next to this
country, and it Is steadily pushing its
schemes for political aggrandizement.
Within the last few years 1t has extended
its territory almost the length of the
neither continent. 1t has gobbled the sea
coast OF Bolivia. and the nitrate fields of
Peru on the north, end by diplomatic su
aslon II has obtained possession of a strip
stretching southwark to Cape Horn. In
cidentally to the partition of Patagonia,
it has secured control of the Straits of
Magellan and of steam navigation in the
Southern Pacific.
Should there be a conflict between the
United States and Chill it would be fierce
while it lasted. The ChiIians are the
most ferocious soldiers in the world
Those who make up the rank and file of
their armies are half breeds--a mixed
race, half Spanish and half native. The
Araucanians are the only aoonginal tribes
which the conquerers from Spain have
never been able to subjugate. In western
Patagonia they remain to this day un-
subdued-a race of fierce giants, known
by hearsay to every scboolboy, preserving
its independence against Caucasian In
vaslon. 1t is only by q mlngling of
blood that they have been tanned. From
this mingling has been produced the
most intelllgently savage people probab
ly, that ever lived on this earth. In war
they are bloodthirsty beyond description.
They outvandal the vandals, destroying
everything they can in mere wantonness
and numbering every prisoner.

Charleston to seize Hawaii Should
Certain Events Occur.
SHANGHAI, Nov. 13-The special CORE
spondent of the United Press, who was
sent to China with instructions to inves-
tlgate the matters which have been caus
ing SO much uneasiness in diplomatic
circles throughout Europe and the United
States, is now in this city, and from
high authority has been placed in possess
ion of most important facts. The United
States cruiser Charleston has left these
waters for Honolulu, cspital of the king
dom of Hawaii, and it is ascertained here,
in quarters likely to know the truth or
fals;ty of report of this nature, that the
commander of the Charleston, George G.
RemY, has received Instructions from the
United States government to seize the
Hawaiian islands, should certain event
ualities ocrur. The United Press CORE
spondent has made careful inquiries in
regard to this matter, and while not able
to state that it is fact that the Charleston
has started on the important mission
mentioned. he Is able to say that, beyond
any doubt, 1t is believed in official circles
here tn { the Charleston has been ordered,
should certain events occur, to seize the
Hawaiian islands. In addition, the
United Press correspondent has reason to
believe that these facts have been cabled
to the British foreign Office, and that
there has been in consequence an ex-
change of dispatches between the British
admiralty and the admiral in command
of the British fest in Chinese waters.

The New Orleans Affair.

ROME, Nov. 13-An investigation of
the story reported here in official circles
to the effect that the United States gov
ernment has admitted the responsibility
for the lynchipg by the mob at New Or
leans of the Italians who were there i'm
prisoned on charge of being implicated
in the murder of Chief of Police Hennes-
sy, OF that place, shows it to be foun-
dered on fact. Such report Is current,
and it is added that the United States, in
admitting the responsibility for the
lynching referred to, hBs promised to pay
indemnity to the family of each of the
victims of the affair. In the Amenoan
colony here the report Is discrsdited, and
at the United States legation no sstisfac-

Conflicting Reports:

LONDON, Nov. 16--The news from
Brazil continues of the most conflicting
character. The official dispatches from
Rio de Janeiro asserts. with unequivoca al
positiveness, that the country is ABSOLUTELY
tranquil, while kilograms from Buenos
Ayres and Santiago report Brazil torn
with dissension and secession. The
actual facts will probably not be known
until mail advlces are received. An
official censorship prevents dispatches,
not approved by the government, reach
ing Europe direct. 1t is not knowu
how such dispatches reach Buenos
Ayres and Chill. The latest official
advices from Brazil state the trouble in
Rio Grande do Sui is purely local and
that the government of that state is now
in the hands of provisional junta. 1t
is inferred from this that the authorities
at Rio regard the junta in sympathy with
the central government, but this theory
is contradicted by the dispatches from
Santiago to the Times. These declare
the provisional junts has taken absolute
control, and assert it has an army Of 30
900 inen armed with rifles. 1t Is short of
artillery and has but one war vessel, a
river monitor lightly armed.

An Uprising In China.

LONDON, Nov. 16.-The Ohronscls's
correspondent at Shanghai says: "The
capture of Tehwei near Foo Chow Tues
day by $4,000 rebels was well organized
uprising. The rebels were armed with
repeaters and led by competent men.
The outbreak was directed mainly against
the authorities, though anti foreign cries
were heard, The officials were powerless
and European residents are spprehensive
of spread of the revolt. The British
consul here, in an interview, said he
believed the recent quietude was only
temporary, the spring and summer being
favorable period for outrages in China.
In spite of this semi official statement
two Chang rioters have been beheaded
and others have been bsstinadoed.
