Death of Mrs. walter E. wricbt.

A little more than year ago the marriage
OF Mrs. Kate Chorpenning with Mr.. Walter
E. Wright was announced. 1t was the cul-
mination of an affection that began in child
hood. Her death occurred on the 4th instant,
at her late residence, No. 457 Missouri avenue.
For several years past Mrs. Wright was an
unfortunate sufferer from an insiduous dis
ease that seemed to bode death alone. Not
withstanding this fact, she was patient and
cheerful to degree seldom found in frail and
weak humanity. Throughout her illness every
comfort, every aid and help that loving hands
could administer or fond hearts suggest were
vouchsafed. Her character was womanly and
beautiful. Her trust was deep, her affection
warm and boundless. Her friendship sincere
and firm. The grief in her home time only
can assuage. Her funeral will take place
from her late residence to-day. The multi-
tude of Mrs. Wright's friends extend their
sympathy to her grief stricken and devoted
husband and family.

of the Executive of Government that has
been a republic since 1891. The Swiss Presi-
dents authority does not resemble that of a
President of the United States or a President
of the French Republic. The Swiss President
is q comparatively unimportant Office, yet the
Swiss claim that theirs is freer Government
than ours. The Swiss Constitution vests the
supreme executive power in the Bundes-rath
collectively, which consists of seven members
appointed for three years by the General AS
sembly. To the Federal Councillors severally
are allotted the different departments, namely,
the Foreign Office, the Home Office, Depart.
ment of Justice, the Army, the Finance and
Custom, the Department of Agriculture,
Manufactures and Trade and the Postoffice
and Railroads Department. The President
and Vice-President, elected for one year only
and not re-eligible for the second year, do not
appoint or control these Ministers or Coun-
cilors, but CARRY out the DEGREES of the Coun-
Gil as nominal heads of the confederation dur
ing their term of office. They have voice
in celebrating on its policy, but less real power
Parliamentary government. The President re-
ceives salary of So, 900 a year. The Federal
Parliament consists of Senate and House
OF Representatives. The Senate is composed
of two members from each canton and the
Lower House has 147 members, who are d.
rectly elected on the basis of one representa-
tive for 10000 of population. Many OF the
cantons have also their own Legislature for
domestic affairs. In several cantons every
new law or measure of government must
be submitted to the direct vote of the people
assembled for the occasion. There are twenty
two cantons in Switzerland, with population
of 100000

UMAr1LLA INDIAN COUNCIL.
Red Men on the Reservation Make Some
Increased Demands.

PENDLEToN, Or, March IA big
council of Indians was held at the
agency four miles east of here. All day
yesterday some thirty head nen were
present, and listened with reverence to
the cultural orations of their leaders.
The nature of their principle demands,
briefly given, is as follows: "a confer
ence is wanted with Register Cleaver of
the La Grande Office This request
will! doubtless be granted. Mr.. Cleayer
has been notified and will probably be
here the latter part of the week. The
cash received for the land must be
delivered at once to the Indians, else
they threaten to prevent the sale from
being made. The threat of course is an
idle one.
An emphatic protest is made against
the appointment of E. J. SummerviIle,
to whom the Indians appear to have
taken dislike as one of the allotment
commissioners. The Indians say they
will prevent him from coming on the
reservation. Whether this will have
any effect is doubtful, as Mr. Summer
vile is said to be strongly recommended.
The government has carried out it's
contract to the letter, and has advanced
at last SO far that it will not recede.
The Indians first agreed to take 120, 900
acres, to be allotted in severalty. Then
they asked for y, 900 acres more and
| their request was complied With. Now
that the government is ready to sell the
remaining las, 900 acres it will do it in
spite of protest.
The Indians purposely interpreted the
Slater bill to mean that their allotments
shall he made prior to sale, and that the
lands not needed by them shall after
wards be sold. They cannot or will not
understand the act to mean that so
much has been set aside for their use,
and that the surplus land will all be
sold. They professed to believe that il
the diminished reservation is not suffic-
lent for their wants, they may draw on
the surplus lands, and many Indians
have fiocked to the reservation since the
census, on which the division is based
in order that as much land might be
secured as possible.

A SENSIBLE SILVER ADVOCATE.
Senator Power Thinks The silver Men
Asked Too Much.

Senator Power Thinks The Silver Men
Asked Too Much.
New YORK, March 19.-U. S. Senator
Power of Montana in an interview, says
he thinks the silver advocates in last
congress made mistake in trying to
adopt measure providing for the abso-
lutte free coinage of silver. He did not
think in was sound policy to jump too
quickly to free coinage of white metal.
1t will not do for three silver producing
states to attempt to dictate the financial
policy of the whole country. I do not
believe it best to adopt free coinage while
bullion is worth only 81 per ounce. When
legislation is enacted that will advance
the price of bullion, free coinage law will
follow naturally.

Anna Dickinson Getting Better,

ALBANY, N. Y, March ia letter
from sister of Anna Dickinson, re-
ceived by F. III. Brand of this city, says ::
"The brothers have already persuaded
Anna to take regular meals and she is
beginning to secure natural sleep, SO
there is every hope of her early recovery
to health. Then she could go abroad to
Carlsbad springs for time, and then
have southern winter. If the men and
newspapers who say they are going to
help her to funds will really do so, there
is no doubt she will yet be able to do
good work in the world again.

President Harrison Determined to Pro-

New YORK, March ia Washington
special says that President Harrison is
determined upon summary measures to
relieve American ports which are subject
to so much German opposition. Min
lister Phelps has been notified by the
state department, at the request of Presi-
dent Harrison, to demand of the German
authorities that the embargo be at once
removed, else the president will proceed
to exercise the authority given him by
the last congress, and by its proclama-
ton close our ports against German
imports. d
The announcement is nothing less
than threat and the result will be in
teresting.
The state department officials refused
to discuss the matter this morning.
There is no doubt but that such a
communication has been sent to Minister
Phelps for the president so informed a
senator who called upon him this morn

Union with the United States.
MONTREAL, March IA private let
ter has been received here from gov
ernment official at st. Johns, n. F.,
which says of the existing difficulties !:
sit is known that England arrived at no
agreement with France for the settle
ment of our difficulties, but instead has
consented to arbitrate the question of
French rights to build lobster factories on
the coast which has never been claimed
by France, and England has or will re-
fuse to ratify our commercial treaty with
the United States. The day for recon
ciliation has now passed and move
ment is on foot not for reciprocity but
for admission into the American union
We have too much experience with Brit
ish injustice to seek more by entering
into the Canadian confederation. The
people are not alone in this matter,
but have the support of many members
of both governments. What is more, it
is almost an open secret, that the dele
CATION is now preparing to visit Wash
ington to guage the feeling and find
whether the terms for this could be
brought about.

The Opening Address by the President
Full OF Indignant Statements.
CINCINNATI, March 1.-THE seventh
annual convention of the Colored Press
Association of the United States began a
session here today. President John
Mitchell, jr., in his address, called at
tention to the increase of outrages in the
south, to the plain violation of rights of
the citizens, etc. The attitude of the
two political parties, he said, was cause
of serious alarm. The defeat of the
Blair educational bill and the failure to
favor the elections bill were pointers to
the drift of public sentiment in the south
of these parties. The time was not far
distant when a free American would
strike back. The republican party of the
nation, he said, owing to treachery in its
ranks, has previously disappointed the
colored man. In future the colored man
must help himself and do all he can to
elevate his condition.

DEATH OF A cENrENAR1AN.
David Ross Munroe, Probably the Old
est Man in Oregan.

HILLsBoRo, March l7.-David Ross
Munroe, an old pioneer, from Scotland
and through the Hudson bay service,
died Sunday and was buried today. 1t
is supposed he was the oldest man in
Oregon. In his youth he was drafted in
the wars against Napoleon Bonaparte,
but was not in active service as he was
only seventeen at the time of Waterloo.
He arrived in Oregon in 1912, and has
resided here ever since. Men who are
now old knew him as an old man when
they were boys. Dudley Munroe has
been supposed to be almost a living fos-
sill for many years, though able to walk
and travel about until few weeks ago.
There can be no doubt that he was over
100 years old.
