WAsHIseroN CRY, Oct. f7.-The Star
this evening prints the following:
There was nothing half-hearted in the ap-
plause which freely punctuated President Har-
rlson's speech in the conference today. 1nnu-
meraole were the expressisns OF delight that
poured from the lips and hearts of ali the dele
gates, and especially warm and interesting were
the comments of those whose h6snes are in lands
other than this They were accustomed to see
ing the governing power afar of, and whenever
royalty parades in public there is much pomp
aud military display. "We shall have to do
away with monarchies after this" exclaimed
Rev. w. f. Dawson, of Glasgow. He was talk
ing TO Bishop Hurst; and the remark was made
so loudly that every one in the lecture-room
could hear it Rev. Ellery Jones, eminent
and eloquent Welsh preacher, said to Star re-
porter:
My visit TO America has realized the consum-
nation OF my highest ideals: In the presence OF
the magnificent speech of your president /
shouid say that every rational Englishman will
return TO England feeling that a republic Is the
only true form OF government Never have
heard man so expressing the heart of Chris
t1anity, and ii his position was simply the re-
suit OF an accident of birth l would never have
expected such deliverance The welcome he
gave Methodism at the White House would
have been impossible at Windsor. If you rolled
up all the kinds of kings and queens we have
ever had since the day of the conQuerer down
TO the Prince of Wales You would not make so
fine man as President Harrison, nor could you
get out OF the composite such an able and cOur-
ageous speech AS that we heard this morning.
venture to say more Methodists in one day
have been seen and been welcomed by the presi-
dent OF the United States than in fifty years
have been recognized and introduced to the
members OF the rOyal family.

VICTORIA, B. c., Oct. 17-[Special. THE
case of the queen against j. P Havden,
alias Harrington, which opened in the
police court this morning, promises to be
the most sensational ever tried in this
province Hayden, who is we'll
to-do wholesale grocer in Fairhaven,
was arrested here Thursday night
charged with the abduction and seduction,
under promise of marriage, of Nellie
Walsh, the 1S-year-old daughter of Patrick
Walsh, a contractor and builder, and girl
of uncommon beauty, education and re-
hnement. Walsh formerly lived in Fair
haven, and Miss Nellie was organist in
the church of which Hayden was
prominent member. She also
was frequent visitor at the
hospital of which he was one of the
directors, and thus in religious and chari-
table works they were thrown much to-
gether. She conceived blind infatuation
for him, though he is old enough to be her
father and in personal appearance is far
from an Apollo. This passion was
true wife, in pursuit of the young girl.
One day last week he telegraphed her to
meet him in Port Townsend, and she

toria. He did so. and she left
home and joined him quietly at
hotel, where they registered
as T. d. Harrington and wife. Her fathers
suspicious being aroused, he obtained
police assistance, located Hayden and had
him arrested. Afterwards he broached
compromise, and Hayden said he would
divorce his wife, marry the girl aid pay
the father $500 for her. Her father asked
$1,000, and putting his proposition into
business form, said he: "You go to Cali
fornia and get divorce from your wife,
come back, and then give me 81, 900 and
you can have Nellie" This came to the
ears of the police judge, and the chances
are that the father will be indicted for
compounding a felony and Hayden will
be sent up for abduction and seduction.
The girl on oath says though Hayden and
she shared room, they never overstep-
ped the bounds of friendship. She mani
tests a strong determination to stand by
Hayden, and while she may be charged with
perjury public sympathy is with her. She
admits that Hayden promised to marry
her as soon as he could get rid of his wife.
The case is attracting general attention,
and the courtroom had to be cleared twice
during the examination.

OREGON's TREASURY EMPTY.
Warrants Not Cashed by the State
Cause of Shortage i'm Funds.

SALEM, Or, Oct 1.-THE fact that the state
treasurer is now endorsing all the warrants
drawn on the general fund mot paid for want
OF funds" has elected considerable inquiry as to
the financial condition of the state. State
Treasurer Metchan today said the state board
that made levy of taxes for this year met Just
prior to the legislature last January and levied
a sufficient sum to meet the current ex-
penses of the state for 1891. II was estimated
on the same basis as 1890, but the legislature
made greatly increased appropriations and
large sums were soon asked for which no pro-
vision had been made in the estimate. As a
natural consequence the funds have been ex-
hausted this early in the year. The total amount
received into the general fund this year, in
cluding the balance turned over, is over $3.50 OO0
which has been paid out on warrants since jan
uary l. State warrants are eagerly sought at face
showing the soundness of the states financial
condition. There is no state Indebtedness, the
bonded debt being but $1,000 and outstanding
warrants, other than those of this year, only
500.

PORTAGE AROUND THE DALLEs
Objection to Construction of the Road
on the Washington Side.

on the Washington Side.
PORTLAND, Oct. E.-tSpecial.l The plan Of
the Portland Chamber of Commerce for build
ing portage railway around the ialles, on the
Washington side of the river, meets with no
favor from the people OF The Dalles. NJ. T..
Nolan, vice president OF The Dalles, Portland
and Astoria Navigation Company, says:
The Dalles people care less for portage rail-
way alone than they do for a road that will open
up Sherman county and other sections surround
ing There is no secret at all about
this portage road at the dales
but the opening of the country tributary would
do much more good. That Is what we want.
The opposition to Mohr's scheme is this We
want road that will send 1,001,000 bushels of
wheat raised in Sherman county down the
Columbia, and not leave 1t under control of the
Union Pacific. Ii is, OF course, an entirely sell
fish interest, but nevertheless it is natural that
il portage road is to receive the financial sup

will get back into Klicdtat county, and no
doubt bring a lot of grain and produce to
market which would otherwise come In wagons,
as at present. But we care much less for
khckitat county, Wash, than for Sherman
county, Or NOrtun's line, that was so sum-
marily disposed of in Mr.. Bogue's report, is the
route that The Dalles people want To see taken.
This 10000 bushels Of wheat from Sherman
county would pour into The Dalles, and
that is what we want il to do. A.
understand the situation, Mohr's scheme having
been Endorsed by the Chamber OF Commerce, he
will have to raise $4,000 in Portland ami the
rest somewhere else. As the road would benent
Walla Walla and the Palouse country great
deal suppose he will try TO raise some money
among them, but he cannot get any at The
Dalles do not believe he viii be able to raise
any money there. as have said. because they
want q road on the Oregon side and also because
they have not much faith in Mohr.
