The friends of the portage road at The
Dalles have not wanted Major Handbury
to build the road and are satisfied that
he would never do so nor permit it to be
done while it was i'll his power to pre-
vent it. We think he is largely or solely
responsible for the delay thus far and
that he will never make any recon-
mendation that will be acceptable and
satisfactory by which the road can be
built. The state wants a standard gauge
road, and three-foot one will not be at
all satisfactory. In the first place
gauge of that width would not be safe nor
could the cars which would run over that
gauge begin to handle the business that
would be brought to it. The state COM
mission should insist on the building of
a standard gauge and we believe they
will do 80. If a gauge of three feet is
needed for Major Handbury and the
use of the government, let an extra.rail
be laid inside and the governments cars
can be run on that at no inconvenience
to the state or the governments

WHAT FASTENED ACTION.

In connection with the action of the
board, the following dispatch, received
from Washington last night, is interest
ing, as it explains the causes which
hastened the board to take the final
step;
to the right of way for the portage road
telegraphed to the chief of engineers
that the location proposed by him is the
only admissible one, and that governor
Pennoyer said it would be satisfactory
to the state authorities. Major Hand
bury also telegraphed that only three
foot gauge would be allowed, not know
ing whether that gauge was satisfactory
to the state board. Senator Dolph says
it was necessary to communicate with
the board before getting the approval of
the secretary of war of the location. In
the meantime the state treasurer tele-
graphed to the treasury to know when
the application of the state for the right
of way would be acted upon. The ap-
plication of the state is not for right of
way, but appears to be in conformity
with the recommendation of Major
Handbury that the United States build
and own the portage road across the res
ervation and permit the state to use it,
which recommendation was rejected by
the opinion of the attorney general.
Nothing has been heard from secretary
of state Mcbride, of Oregon in answer
to his telegram of yesterday"
Senator Dolph telegraphed State
Treasurer Metschan, fully explaining the
situation, and saying that if the location
and gauge are satisfactory and if the
state did not desire the use of the gov
ernment tramway as part of the port
age road, but only for construction pur-
poses, the plan of location might be
Immediately approved. On account of
an indication that the state might be
required to make a new application,
stating what was decided by the board
and with design of cutting off the cor
respondence and Fastening final action,
Senator Dolph. has advised Treasurer
Metschan that the board had better
telegraph the secretary Immediately
stating with particular emphasis what
was desired in reference to the location,
gauge and rise of the tramway. The
senator says that as soon as definite
understanding is arrived at there is no
doubt that final action will be had, and
telegraphed to Major Handbury. The
latter's recommendation, although
weighty, is not conclusive.

TOO MUCH RED TAPE.


The gist of the dispatch from Washing
ton, published yesterday, in regard to
the portage railroad at the Cascades is
that Major Handbury is not to besallow-
ed to build the road out of the appropri-
alton for the locks, and the $4,000 it will
cost must come out of the state appropri-
alton. To one acquainted with the cir
cumstances there seems no good reason
why Major Handbury should not be al
lowed to build the road, as it is needed in
the construction of the locks. The state
was to haul freight from the landings, it
would provide for use on the works free
of cost, and do other things which would
have amply repaid for the use it made of
the road. The hitch in the matter is the
outcome of the great capicity of the
Washington lawyer and politician in the
way of how not to do it,
Major Handbury's proposition to build
the road and allow the state the use of it
in return for certain services, was for
warded to the chief of engineers and was
approved by him. 1t was then sent to
the secretary of war for his approval.
He was absent and his representative
not thoroughly understanding the matter
and desiring to evade the responsibility
referred it to the judge acknowledgement,
who on general principles decided that
money appropriated for locks could not
be used to build a road which the state
might use. This not suiting the friends
of the proposition, it was referred to the
attorney who sided with the
judge advocate-general, and that settles
the matter.

Judge Ingraham, of New-York, staying that portion
Of Judge Cullen's order requiring the County

Controller and Governor, and brought them back to
this city, where they now are. To-day, in an inter-
view giving us his reasons for going to Albany.
Mr. Emans said:
Wishing TO consult the highest authority as to
my duty Immediately went to Albany and con-
suited the Attorney-General, and at his advice
regained possession of the certificates and brought
them back to my Office"
1t is cited by Republicans a significant
fact that the Republican counsel had no knowledge

County Clerk in the office of James w. IIinckley.
and requested Mr.. Emans to go to the latter's
office to certify two copies of the Cullen order
which Mr. CossUm held in his hand. Mr. Emans
refused to go, the ground that it was after
Office hours. Mr. Cussum then read to Mr.. Emans
that part of Judge Cucn's order which directed
the County Clerk to forward the statement forth
with, and again requested Mr.. Emans to go to
his office. Again Mr. Emans refused, and then
Mr.. Cossum left the place.
1t is believed that another order will be got
from some Judge tonight vacating Judge Culen's
order. Certain it is that the statement will not
lie forwarded to Albany tonight.

A FRENCH LUGGER BLOWN UP.
SHE WAS DISCHARGING DYNAMITE Al ANTWERP
WHEN AN EXPLOSION OCCURRED-AT
LEAST TWO MEN KILLED.

Antwerp, Dec. 23.-The city startled this morn
Ing by tremendous explosion. which fairly shook the
earth Many persons at first believed that there had
been earthquake. II was soon learned. however
that the moist and shock due to explosion OF
dynamite. French lugger named The Pilote. a part
of the cargo Of which dynamite, was discharging
into lighter lying alongside Of her. suddenly there
was fash and roar. and the lugger was blown to
atoms The upper part Of the lighter was shattered.
and the wrecked bull Immediately sank.
The most exaggerated reports concerning the loss
Of life put into circulation Immediately after the
explosion. later investigation shows that even the
lowest estimates first made put the number OF killed
far beyond the actual figure. As matter of fact only
two persons known to have met their death through
the explosion. Some men who we're supposed to have
been in the vicinity of the accident missing. but
1t is thought that they will be found TO be safe and
sound after the excitement subsidies.
The Pilote came from Dunkirk. While living at that
port she dragged her anchors during a storm. she
saved from going ashore by fishing boat which
got line to her. The fishing boat towed the Pilote
to Ostend, but the sauthortes there refused to allow
the lugger to discharge her dynamite The POte
then proceeded TO Antwerp. Here she un0aded
off the port, under the supervision Of military engineers
II was thought that all the dynamite had been removed
from her. but II Is supposed that few cartridges
were forgotten and that II the explosion of these

The civil Government had nothing to fear from the

Dublin, Dec. 23.-It is conceded that the election
which took place in Waterford to-day is the decisive
struggle in the Irish fight, but the result Of
the polling will not be known until tomorrow.
II Michael Davitt the nominee Of the McCarthyite
section proves to be the winner, it is believed his

henceforth the Irish members Of Parliament viii work

event OF the victory Of John E. Redmond, the nominee
Of the Parnelites, there is doubt the struggle will
be further continued Both sides have been working
hard, and there has been lack Of enthusiasm among
the electors.
Ii was thought in some quarters that the day would
be marked by dstu Dances, and extra precautions were
taken by the authorities TO suppress any disorder that
might arise. Squads Of police were detailed to guard
each polling booth, with instructions to preserve tn:
peace at all hazards. When the booths opened
many voters ready to cast their ballots There
was no disorder and everything went along quietly
