PRESENT INSANITY.
Col. Kings Lawyers will Adopt Another
Plan to Save His Life.

The lawyers of Col. HI. Clay King,
who is under sentence of death for
the murder of ID. III. POston, have
discovered a new scheme, which
they think will delay or prevent en-
tirely the execution of their client in
the event that both Gov. Buchanan
and the United States Supreme Court
decline to intercede. In the opinion
of Kings counsel, they can secure a
a repfieve through the means OF
present insanity, similar to that in
the Alice Mitchell case. They pro.
fess to have sufficient testimony upon
which to base such plea.
But while Kings lawyers and
friends point to his strange actions as
an evidence of insanity there are q
large number of people who believe
that he is feigning in order to escape
the gallows. Sheriff McLendon has
commenced preparations to execute
the death sentence.

THREE WITHDRAW.
Powers, Smith and Dean No Longer in
the Assessors Race.

For several days an effort has been
made to reduce the number of white
candidates in the race for tax assess
or and Saturday evening it looked
like nothing would be done. The
effort was renewed, however, this
morning and it met with
success. The first man to withdraw
from the race was J. b. Powers, who
would have received a good vote in
the county. He was followed by
Dean and Smith, leaving only three
candidates in the field. They are
Jas. r. Williams, w. l.. War
field and r. A. Wilson. The action
ON the part of the men who withdrew
is commendable and will no doubt
be remembered by the people of the
county. They withdrew to keep a
Republican from being elected, and
their withdrawal, will reach the de-
sired end. There is no longer any
chance for Radcliffe with these three
candidates out OF the field.

THE IRON HALL!
The officers Do Not Think THAT the Dis
solution Aas Come.


The following special sent out from
Boston, gives further particulars of
the trouble OF the Iron Hall:
GA special to the Globe from
Lawrence, Mass, says in regard to
the application for receiver, made
by the order of the Iron Hall: Mai.
Geo. S. Merrill, insurance Commits
sioner, was seen by Globe CORES
pondent this evening. He stated
that the following article, published
in the Sunday Telegram, of which he
is proprietor, is correct:
"Yesterday at indianapolis certifi-
cate holders in the order of the Iron
Hall applied to the courts for re-
ceiver to close up the corporation, al
leging that the concern had only
800, 900 assets, with liabilities within
the next three years of 500, 900, 600.
1t is also charged that Supreme JUS
tice Somerby has drawn $50, 900 for
travelling expenses. We doubt il
the facts prove sufficient TO insure the
appointment of receiver, but it is
true that banking institution in
Philadelphia in which The order was
heavily interested failed few
months ago and serious loss must fol-
low. 1t is curious also that this mat.
ter of travelling expenses of Somerby
was brought out forcibly four years
ago in the address of Comm issioner
Merrill, who proved. from the books
that this large sum received for this
purpose by Somerby had been adj
roitly covered up in the accounts.
Still we do not think the smash has
come just yet. Maj. Merrill further
said that in looking over the reports
he found that in addition to the sal.
airy of Somerby he had appropriated
from the funds of the order 1900 in
one year for the expenses of special
agent, but later ascertained that the
agent was Mr.. Somerby himself, and
so reported it to the Legislature
The insurance commissioner says
that while the institution may bt
solvent for time, it was question
of doubt if it could meet its liabilities
three years hence.'"

The Great Nortbern cn.,.


Buffalo Courier, 18th. President Hill
of the Great Northern was in Cleveland
last week, and while there closed con-
tract with the Globe Iron works for two
new vessels, to cost in the neighborhood
of $1.0O0,00o. The plans for the new
vessels are not completed, but it is un-
derstood they are to be the finest boats
ever built for the lake trade. They will
be patterned after the ocean greyhounds,
and built for speed and passenger nc.
commodation regardless of freight ear
rying capacity. No expense will be
spared and the result will doubtless be
two palaces such as never before fioated
on the waters of the great lakes. The
projectors of the enterprise figure on
making the run from Buffalo to Duluth
in fifty hours, and as President Hill de-
manded guaranteed speed of twenty
two miles an hour before closing the
contract, it will be an easy matter to
make the run in the. specified time.
This will make,a trans-continental line
with the Erie and Lackawanna roads al
this end and the Great Northern from
Duluth to the Pacific coast. The time
by the new lake route will be several
hours shorter than by the all rail route
via Chicago.

was in close financial straits, and, hav-
ing run out of money. work was stopped,
as everybody knows. Ever since then
President Hill has been cycling the I'm
ion Pacific system with covetous glances.
The question with US should be !:
What effect will it have upon The
Dalles? We are free to say that in this
respect, to US it seems that the benefits
are doubtful. We believe that Mr.. Hill
will come nearer carrying out the origi-
nal intentions of Mr.. Willard than any
one else that could be named. In fact
that the two men are now so closely
allied, with the Kelly and other st.
Paul and Eastern, and European
millionaire interests backing them, that
it would not be strange to hear. pretty
soon,. that some of the bears creating the
downfall of Mr.. Willard would be much
more surprised at coming events than
they were to hear that the Montana
farmers were actually feeding pigs corn

Plain to Those Knowing Anything
OF The Past.

CHIcAGo, Aug. l9.-The object of the
present visit of President J. J. Hill, of
the Great Northern, to New York, is
fully set forth in q special today which
will be published in the San Francisco
Chronicle. The dispatcher has been ad-
vised that zMr. Hill is about to secure a
controlling interest in the Oregon rail-
way and Navigation company's line,
consisting of 200 miles or more of track
between Spokane and Portland, this
property is under SO years lease to
the Oregon Short Line and Utah North
ern, the controlling interest in whose
stock was owned by the Union Pacific.
Under the terms of the lease the I'm
ion Pacific guaranteed interest on the
bonds, six per cent. interest on the stock
and the expense of reorganization.
There.are but two ways IN which Hill
can gain control OF the Oregon Railway
and Navigation company's line: Either
the Oregon Short Line or the Union Pa
cific has so defaultcd under the terms OF
the lease as to make that instrument
nugatory, or Hill must hold controlling
interest in $4,000, 600 of the Oregon
Short Line stock. The Union Pacific at
one time owned $14, ,000, 900 of this stock,
but it is very possible that it may have
sold enough to lose its controlling inter-
est. In either case it would be com.
paratively easy matter for Hill to secure
control. Such conclusion would In
stantly make Hill master of the Union
Pacific coast railroad situation and OF
both the Union Pacific and Northern
Pacific coast terminals. He could also
dictate the rates to be charged on Pacific
coast traffic, and the annual contracts
which now give the Union Pacific almost
monopoly on Portland business. With
a transfer of the Oregon Railway and
Navigation company would go the line
of steamers plying to every ocean and
river port between San Francisco and
British Columbia, and river lines cover
ing 1900 miles of territory.

lieve that although beef will be higher
tomorrow there is no danger of beef
famine In the city on account of the
strike. special from Buffalo says:
There is blockade of freight that from
present appearances will take weeks to
remove. Only perishable freight is re-
ceiving any attention and that's getting
little. A long line of sentries surround
the Lehigh and Erie yards, and it is
near Cheektowaga, and it is next to
impossible for strangers or strikers to get
anywhere near the yards. Soldiers
have strict orders not to admit anybody,
except those who really have business
there of the utmost Importance, and
these are ss-questioned and only adj
mitted inside the lines on passes. There
are guards everywhere in fact.

THE COLUMBIA RIVER ROUTE.
The Best Market is The Market Reached
by the Cheapest Route.

The Best Market Is The Market Reached
by the Cheapest Route.
From the Spokane Review.l
That which is of moet benefit to the
producers is the ability to reach a
market at the lowest expense, and it
does not require volume of political
economy to convince any reasonable
man that the ability to reach the-cheap-
est market will rebound to the best in
terest of the state in which the pro-
ducers are located. The natural, SIM
plest and cheapest outlet for the pro-
ducts of Eastern Washington is the
Columbia river. Ii the facilities that
may be afforded to the great wheat pro-
ducing regions of Eastern Washington
by means of the opening of the Column
bia river enabled the producers to lay
their products down at tidewater cheap
er than they can do SO by rail at Puget
sound, who can justly say that the re-
suit will not be to the benefit of Wash
ington at large?
So far as the great producers of this
state are concerned, the reduction of
transportation charges and the number
of middlemen necessarily will result to
their advantage and of necessity to the
advantage of the state. If, by opening
the Columbia river, the $4,000, 900 OF
20 .000, 900 bushels of grain produced in
Eastern Washington can reach tide
water by way of the Columbia river
cheaper than by rail, why should not
the unanimous voice of that great sec
tion be in favor of opening the Columbia
and Snake rivers? There is not farmer
in the Palouse or 1Yalla Walla wheat
growing districts that does not know
that the comparatively short navigable
section of the Snake river resulted in a
difference of fifty cents ton between
wheat shipped by Snake river and that
shipped by rail north of Snake river.
When growers in Whitman county were
paying $3.50 ton some years ago to
Portland, shippers along the Snake
river, those in Idaho, paid only So, an
aggregate amount and tax upon produc-
ers in the Palouse district of between
$l0O, 900 and 5000, 900 every season.

Dinerent From the Home

Affairs.

Sr. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. l9.-In stating
the situation of affairs at the Coal creek
mines, the Globe-Democrat says: This
against the mistaken policy of the state
officials, leasing convicts to work the
mines. It is a very unfortunate affair,
and the sympathies of the people would
go out to the free miners unstinted had
not the miners over-stepped the bounds
of reason and taken the law into their
own hands after the fashion of mob
unions" Aspecial from Knoxville says
it is reported battle is raging between
the troops and miners. cannonading is
heard in the distance. The streets are
crowded with a mob. The greatest ex-
citement prevails. Five newspaper
correspondents who went to Coal creek
were captured by the miners and held az
prisoners.
A Chattanooga special says: Gov,
Buchanan inclines to the opinion that
the prison inspectors should declare the
leases void, because the Iessees claim
the authorities do not protect them
against a mob, and refuse to pay for the
1 .
support of the convicts. Gov. Buchanan
has ordered all the organized militia in
the state to the scene of the trouble in
the mining region. He made requisi-
tions on the sheriffs of Davidson,
Hamilton and Knox counties for posses
of 1000 men each, and on the sheriffs of
Anderson, Roane, Morgan and Marion
counties for 500 men, or more if they
can raise them. The penalty for any
sheriff 8 refusing to obey his order is a
term of imprisonment and fine. All
the troops will mass at Chattanooga
this morning, with brigadier-general
in command, :. and proceed at once to
Knoxville, and from there to Coal creek,
armed with all sorts of pistols and guns.
