Parliament Opened.

LONDON, Aug. 9.-The Queens speech
was read to parliament yesterday. The
speech said that, as the business of par
lament was practically completed be-
fore the dissolution under the procla-
nation of June 2Sth, it is not necessary
for parliament now to continue the ses-
sion at this unusual period of the year.
Hope was expressed that when parlia-
ment meets at the customary season it
will again direct attention to measures
of social and domestic improvement.
The last portion was greeted with groans
by the liberals. Barton, conservative
member for Midarmagh,- moved an ad-
dress in reply to the Queens speech.

An Aggregate Saving to be Divided Be
tween Producers Amounting to
SI35,soO, 900.

BUFFALO, Aug. 9.-Au parties inter
ested in water transportation will be
edited by the statements of Edward P
Erie canal last year. Mr.. North says
"Although, on account of the practice
of vessels going up light, only about
&c, ,299, ,006 tons of freight were trans
ported during the season. They were
carried an average distance of 266 miles
SO that, multiplying the tons carried by
the distance in miles, we have more
than seventeen thousand million tom
miles, or freight distribution equal to
almost one-fourth of the ton-mileage of
all our railroads. This lake freightage
has been done at an average charge to
shippers of 3 mills per ton mile. The
shipments by railroads, on the con-
trary, are averaged by the Interstate
commerce commission at 9 % mills per
ton-nlile; so that there was a saving on
each ton transported by this water road
over the average charges by railroad,
for an equal distance, of $14.4S, or an
aggregate saving, to be divided between
the producers and consumers of this
country, of more than $135, 500, ,O00 As
the government has appropriated not
quite $50, ,000, 900 for the Improvement
of the great lakes, their harbors, and
the rivers that run into them, the peo-
pie of this country received, through the
cheapened distribution made possible
by this expenditure in the single year of
1891, four and half times the total
cost of the improvements; or. to state
the advantages of -this improved water
way in another way, the cost of lake
freight was six and one-hah per cent. of
the value, of the goods transported;
whereas, if they had been transported
at the average charge for railroad
freight, the cost would have been fully
forty-six per cent. of their value. This
percentage would have obviously taken
SO large part ofthe value of consid-
erable proportion of the goods that the
labor and profits of their production
and distribution must have been lost to
the community. if dependence had
been placed on railroads alone.

Graf Dalton

VIsALIA, CAL, Aug. 9-News was re-
ceiyed yesterday that the train robbers
are surrounded ten miles from Oroso,
and will be taken dead or alive today,
unless. they should escape further into
the mountains. John Sontag, one of the
gang, stopped at the. New Reedley hotel
July 22d and was very talkative and as
tonishingly profane. He spent the even
ing in the hotel, drinking beer. a drum
mer for a shoe manufacturer in San
Francisco was there. Sontag made him
drink till they emptied four bottles.
Sontag told Landlord Ayres. he was
going to Sauaw valley to join his brother,
and then they were going shooting,
Conant, who is in jail here is kept care
fully guarded. After their experience in
the escape of Grat Dalton, the officers
keep the prisoner on bal zand chain
whenever he is admitted to the corridor
for air, and no one but officials are. per-
mitted to talk with him. He retains his
cool, polite demeanor, and answers all
the questions put to him by the officers
and detectives in the same. nonchalant
manner as when he was first interro-
gated. An important discovery has
been made at. the Evans house in the
shape of four pieces of fuse, such as is
used in exploding dynamite cartridges.
Around these pieces were wrapped the
business cards of a laundry in Man
kato, Mimi, the home of George Con-
ant. In the light of recent events the
cynical humor of remark once dropped
by Conant is becoming appreciated.
He was free spender Of money, and one
evening, while he was playing billiards
at the Palace hotel here, bystander
asked him: '.Where do you get so
much money? You don't seem to

laugh, 81 have a patent air brake for stop

that his patent air brake consisted of a
shotgun and dynamite bombs.

Fossil News and Notes.

Our regular correspondent at FOSSIL
says the fire, of which full account was
published last week, has accented the
wish of the people for a system of water
works there, The only wonder is that
the whole town was not destroyed.
Preparations were Immediately begun to
rebuild most OF the burnt district.
Eugene II. Evans of Crook county, t.
prominent educator. was in Fossil last
week, on business connected witlfIthe
schools. Fossil has u .enviable reputa-
tion for good educational advantages,
which it will do well to guard against
losing. Prof. T. L. Donoho, OF Hood
River, will make an application for the
principalship at Fossil.
