PACIFIC MAIL.
Meeting of StOckhOIders - GOOD
showing for the Year.

New YORK, May 25.-The annual meet
ing Of the Pacific Mail stockholders re-
suited in the election of the old board of
directors. The report shows the gross
earnings for the fiscal year to be 81, ,4O9, 1852;
operating expenses, $3,6Ss,O55; net earn
ings, $721, ,2O7. President George Gould in
his report says the gross earnings have in
creased, but the net earnings decrease is
slightly owing to the fact that the COM
pany was compelled to spend a large
amount to put the fleet in condition to
meet the increased requirements for speed
and passengers to qualify under the subsidy
law for carrying mails. Vice President
Houston said the earnings, including the
amount expended to comply with the sub

"STILLETTO JACK"
An Unknown Foreigner Initiating
sEJack the Rfpper.1

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May 25.-An unknown
foreigner has created terror in this old col
lege town by stabbing women. He has
stabbed three women since Friday last.
There is no clue to his identity Accord
ing to the stories told by the three women
the fellow first insulted them, and when
they resented he drew his stilletto and
stabbed them.
Mrs. Annie T. Young, of 273 Putnam
avenue, was standing on her own doorstep
when the fellow approached her and made
his proposal. She resented it, whereupon
he drew his stilletto and pushed it through
the fieshy part of her leg, severing several
arteries. She nearly bled to death.
Miss Welch was accOsted by the man in
a similar manner and stabbed in the neck.
The wound is not a dangerous one.
Mrs. McKeogh of SOmerville, was also
stabbed in the body. Her injuries are not
fatal.
The general belief is that the stabber is
an escaped lunatic who is initiating "Jack
the Ripper" The stabbing is all done
after nightfall

New York World: Jerry Simpson doesn't
believe in building new navy. He thinks
it is a useless waste of millions of "the peo-
ple's money. When the naval appropri-
alton bill came up in the house yesterday,
Just before adjournment, Jerry managed to
secure the floor and made a five-minute
speech.
"We will never have war with foreign
country" said Jerry propheticalIy. "All
we've got to do is treat other nations
fairly. Maybe the republican prohibition
lists think fighting boats necessary to their
business. Well, maybe they are, but if we
treat all our friends fairly we won't need
them. 1 don't believe in squandering
money for the navy"
Jerry didn't get any applause when he
sat down. Even the farmers alliance
members sat silent in their seats.

walls in several places. The convention
was called to order by G. H. Warner, of Col
fax, vice chairman of the state central COM
mittee, in the absence of the chairman. At
ter brief and appropriate address by War
ner, the temporary organization was eff
fected by the election of l.. H. Platter, of
Spokane, chairman and Franklin K Lane,
of Tacoma, secretary. The temporary
chairman made brief speech. References
to Palmer and Boies were enthusiastically
received, but when he mentioned the name
of Cleveland the convention rose to their
feet in a body and cheered. Cries
of whats the matter with Cleveland p"
were answered from all directions
by the reply; tiles all right" The speaker
thought the delegation should not be in

of speech" made a rOusing and eloquent
talk of ten minutes in which he said "that
the manifest choice of the democracy of
this state is Grover Cleveland. (Cheers
lasting 5 minutes.) We need not pledge
our delegates; they will go knowing that
Washington is for Cleveland, and they will
stand by him until there is no longer any
chance for his nomination, but that time
they will not see, for the very stars in their
courses are making his fight. But who
ever may be our leader, we will march
under his banner to victory" Mr.. Lane
prophesied victory in the state campaign
because of the late legislature, which
he characterized as a legislature of a
thousand scandals. The usual committees
were then appointed, after which the con-

WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator Allison
today introduced another remonstrance
from the chamber Of commerce Of Port
Townsend, Washington, giving the reasons
why no application should be made for
coast defense vessels for Puget Sound or
for the construction of the ship canal from
Lake Washington to the Sound. In the
first instance the remonstrance says land
detenses are much better than vessels
could be, and much expert testimony is
furnished to prove that assertion. As to
the Lake Washington canal, it is charged
that the project is not intended to benefit
the public; that its utility is very much
doubted and that its only scheme is to re-
vivs the land boom.
Representative Herman, of Oregon, saws
the president will soon issue orders for the
survey of the Klamath Indian lands in
Oregon, with view to their allotment in
severalty, and the opening of the surplus
to white settlement. There are several
million acres in this reservation.

Gal, Hale,

DIR. Eagan, of Milton, in an interview
with Walla Walla exchange, gives the
following information in reference to Cal.
Hale, one of the men arrested for the
Roslyn bank robbery: 'It disgusts me to
hear the newspapers speak of Cal. Hale as
one of the worst desperadoes that ever in
tested this country. I have known him
since babyhood, have attended him many
times In professional capacity and know
that that is not his nature. He is an i'm
beetle. as harmless as a school-boy and his
committing deed requiring the display of
as much nerve and spirit of daring as did
the robbing of the Roslyn bank, consider
morally impossible. do not believe that
he ever was hundred miles from home In
his life. His brothers Ed. and Nat have
reputation for being sneak thieves, stealing
slick ear from the range now and then,
but to Judge from their natures as know
them, it would be ABSURD to think of them
committing deed requiring SO much nerye
and boldness. Cal. on the other hand has
always borne good reputation and as I
SAID before believe it is impossible for him
to have been interested in this robbery as it
would be for little child"

As the time for convening the leg

As the time for convening the leg
islature approaches, the subjects for
which statutes should be enacted are
discussed, and prominent among these
are the divisions of some of the old
counties. New ones are wanted in
some of the Willamette districts, and
we presume Eastern Oregon will de-
mand her share of this kind of legis-
lation. If the population and wealth
of any portion of the state demand
the creation of these new corpora
tions, it is right and fair that the de-
mands Of the people should be needed;
hut If the conditions are such that this
action would increase the burdens of
taxpayers, the lawmakers would act
wisely in denying the request. The
only safe rule with every branch of
government in republic is, the great
est good to the greatest number.

Irving E. Hosford, who died at his home

the rapidly diminishing number of Oregon
pioneers. He was born in New York,
August 6, 1920, and crossed the plains in
company with his brother Channcey, now
of Mt. Tabor. in lS45. Entering Oregon at
that early date he shared with the early
pioneers the days of boiled wheat and pota-
toes for about two years. In l847, In com
pany with five others, he made the journey

known wilderness infested with ssyages.

name of the United States. He afterwards
participated il the battle of Bloody island,
in the American river, and was in the
vicinity of Suffers mill when Marshall made
the discovery Of gold in the tail-race.
After this discovery, Mr.. Hostord went to
mining, and in two years cleaned up $l6,-

settled on the west side of the Willamette
river some two miles below Salem. Here
he took up donation land claim, which is
now known as the Wallace estate.
