CHICAGO, July B.-Evidently the inter
state commerce commission has determined
to ind out if possible the exact relation be-
tween the Illinois Steel company and 1--WE
railroad companies. Commissioner Veazey
has adopted new plan of procedure. MAX
ing formal demand ON Vice President Ster-
ling. Of the Illinois Steel company. for the
stock book of that concern. Sterling's
counsel declined to permit the books to be
inspected. ''Then you refuse to let the
commission see the book2" inquired Com
missioner Veazey. After conference with
lawyers the railroad men and steel COM
pany officials the conclusion was reached
that it would be unwiss to let the books be
inspected. "Then," said Veazey, ''Pll sub
poena you, Sterling, to produce the stock
book" This caused sensation and right
on top of it came an order making it i'm
perative upon the auditor of the railroad
companies to yield the secretary's books for
his inspection. Another consultation re-
suited in a decision by the railroad people
to postpone action.
At the afternoon session the FIRST case
called was the complaint against the Grand
Trunk, Fast Saginaw d Michigan and the
Wabash roads, charged with having given
lower rates than those stated in tho tariff
sheets to foreign and domestic points. Tho
first witness was David Brown, freight
agent of the Chicago & Grand Trunk. The
wi.ness absolutely declined to answer a
question in regard to the above charge
The next witness was Sumner Hopkins,
freight agent of the Wabash. His attorney
advised him to refuse to answer tho com
missions questions. because it is believed
the commission had no jurisdiction to in
stitute such inquiry. Other witnesses were
placed on the stand with similar result.
Chairman Veazy said after adjournment.
an effort would be made to compel wit
nesses to anawer the questions, and they
will invoke the assistance Of the courts. If
they then decline it will be in contempt and
punished accordingly.

these are Chinese, who are estls

two years. The annual drain Of
$4O,OO0.OO0 by all the returning
aliens, and of $1OO,O0O,OO0 by the

derstand why it is that, "notwith-
standing several years of unexam-

growth of export trade, we are rapid

GUN FACTORY.
The Washington correspondent
to the Oregonian writes:

The Washington correspondent
to the Oregonian writes:
Before the Oregon senators
leave for the Pacific coast they
will probably insist that the board
Of officers, consisting of three navy
and three army officers, be appoint
ed to examine and report upon
"a site for the gun factory On the
Pacific coast. Heretofore it has
been considered probable that thi>
gun factory would be located a
Benicia, but the officers Of the
various departments assert thai
the Columbia river and Puge'
sound are making all effort t.
secure the site. These officers say
that Pacific coast factory is abso
lutely necessary, on account OF
the number of guns and morter-
needed for coast defenses, and the
inability of Watervliet to supply
them. They estimate that the
Pacific coast will require 500 guns
and say there would be great mill
tary advantages ia having a CUR
factory Oh the Pacific coast. The
Oregon senators believe that the
columbia river will be selected
as the point for the location o.
this factory when everything is tax
en- into consideration, but Of cours

these sections have presente'
claims for the location, but it

ACCORDING to democratic esti
mates the peoples party vote in
Oregon in November will be 25,.
900, the result being a democratic
plurality. This is based upon the
idea that the majority of those led
astray by the calamity doctrine
will be republicans. While this
speaks but lily of the republican
voter, it must not be forgotten
that the estimate is a democratic
one, and partakes very much OF
the rainbow hue. Oregon has NO
reason to offer for departing from
the republican fold, and it will
take more than democratic nurs-
ing of the third party movement
to drag her from it.-Portland

THE description Of the ravages

Tor about these curses of disease
that will drive the surviving popu-
lation from any city and leave it
like an echoing sepulchre. This is

The proposition that Oregon

such as are Of a public nature, will
meet with hearty assent every

stone in this state, and it is one OF
the natural resources we should
develop. The objection that quar-
ries are not extensively developed
is a feeble one, for a stone con
tractor may be placed under bonds
to deliver a given amount of stone
in specified time. Let a big con
tract be secured, such as the city
hall OF court house, and there
would be no trouble about getting
the stone. The city hall commits.

SINCE their disastrous defeat in
the strike of 1888, the commercial
telegraphers of the United States
have not maintained national
union, but the fever of organized
labor is now in the air, and they
have caught the infection. For the
past ten active work of
organization has been carried on
secretly, and this will eliminate
in national convention, to be
held in Kansas City, Sept. 2, at
which nearly every large city in
the country will be represented.
1t is claimed that since the -. e
Of 1883 the average wages have
declined from $65 month to $50
and this is ascribed to the want O.
an organization to maintain them
It's proposed to unite the oper
ators of the Western Union, and
Postal in commercial tele
graphers' union and then to ANAL.
gamate or fodprate with he rail
road teiegraphers' union. with the
hope Of becoming strong enough
to put up wages again. One doe:
not have to go far to see why
wages have been reduced in tele
graph Offices. 1t is the result o.
the competition of labor for EN-
ployment. A larger proportion
of persons know how to use th,
telegraph instrument today thar
ten years ago, and the proportion
is increasing. This fact would
seem to render any effort to secure
a permanent increase IN wages :
hopeless undertaking. The grea
law of supply and demand will
eventually rule, no matter if tenn
porarily interlered with.-Orego

Geo. L. Johnston, J. l.. Neihart and

at Moose creek hunting and fishing.
They returned Thursday with II full line
of stories referring to vast herds of deer,
elk, antelope, etc, and eve exhibited a
real deer as circumStantial evidence Of
their veracity. As they returned on the
day the law expired they either killed
this deer before breakfast of Thursday
morning or else despatched it purely in
self defense. The latter is probably
true as they were forced to carry clubs
whenever they strayed from the camp in
order to beat off the antelope and noun
tain sheep which beset them in large
herds.
