Train Wrecking.

ASHLAND, Or, Dec. 8.-The train
crew arriving on yesterdays over
land from the north report das-
tardly attempt by some unknown
culprits to wreck the Southern Pa
citic north bound express beyond
Grants Pass last night. Rails were
removed from the track on a trestle
just north of tunnel 8 in such a
place that If the train had attempted
to pass it would have been hurled
off the track and down into can
yon, and the results would have
been u dreadful wholesale murder.
Luckily bridge carpenters discovered
the displacement of the rail in time,
tagged the train, and had the track
repaired In time to allow it to pro-
coed with but little loss of time.

Conference of Senators.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The con-
ference of Democratic senators
Thursday lasted two hours. An
order of business for the session was
discussed and it was decided to con-
tinue the "steering committee" of
last session, with Senator German
at the head, TO arrange a schedule
with the Republican managers.
Senator Morgan announced that,
owing to his unexpected absence
from the country as one of the Beb-
ring sea arbitrators, he deemed it
best to retire from the committee on
public lands and Senator Villas, of
Wisconsin, was selected to fill the
vacancy. The election of senators
from the Northwestern states, Mon
tana and Wyoming, where the
standing of the legislature was In
doubt, was the principal topic under
discussion. 1t was determined to
do all that could be done to aid in
bringing about the choice of Demo.
cratic senators from those states, and
Chairman German was authorized
to appoint committee of three sem
ators to act in an advising capacity
to the legislatures of these states in
the conduct of the contests and
elections of senators. 1t was reported
the conference had decided to advise
Senator Washburne to let the con-
sideration of the anti-option bill go
over till Monday next, but this
could not be confirmed.

CARSON CITY, New, Dec. 9.-The
most notable evidence of the de.

May Be a Battle.

CARRoLLToN, Miss, Dec. 9.-The
widest excitment prevails here.
A mob composed of several hundred
men, friends of Edward E. Elan,
who was shot and killed by George
e. Money, son of Congress- man-elect
p. d. Money, in fight on The streets
Of Carrollton last Saturday, is on its
way to Woodstock Landing, to lynch
young Money, who is stopping with
his uncle, James P. Money. When
Moneys friends learned that a mob
had started to Woodstock, so men,
armed with Winchesters, started in
pursuit. A telegram was also sent
to Greenwood, which is about 10
miles from Woodstock, apprising
the citizen and authorities of the in
tention of the mob, and the sheriff,
with 400 men heavily armed, left
for the scene at once. 1t is believed

DIR. Briggs suspects Advantage
May be Taken of Him.
NEW YORK Dec. 9.-In the Briggs
case Thursday, McCook completed
his argument for the prosecution.
The question to be decided in this
court, he said, is simply whether the
doctrines of DR.. Briggs and the doc
trines of Presbyterianism are in har-
mony. when Briggs asked if the
prosecution had flushed its case, an
affirmative, though somewhat
guarded, reply was given. Briggs
said he asked the question with
reason. Dr. Lempse, bible scholar
of the committee, had not spoken,
and Briggs wanted him to present
now any argument he has prepared
against the defendant. Briggs said
he suspected some such policy may
be followed by the committee as at
the first trial, when many of their
arguments were withheld until after
he had pleaded. An adjournment
was taken until Tuesday.

was to meet Monday next. A vote
is expected by Tuesday or Wednes-

on the question before them makes
eighteen out of thirty-nine ministers
and six out of eighteen elders favor

not the engineer been signaled jus

tom ofthe rocky gulf, 45 feet below;
full story of the attempted wreck,
which the SouthernPa acific evidently
suppressed,is told here tonight byDr,
V. Calhoun, one of the Washington
presidential electors, who arrived
last evening from California.
He says that the displaced rail was
discovered by two young ladies VINO
crossed trest!e with u lantern just
before the train arrived. They were

then the train was heard approach

which the engineer stopped
the train at the approach of
the trestle. The train con-
sisted of Il cars containing 250 pass

loss of life would have been fright

The wreckers did the work quickly,
as the track was all right when the

TO OPEN THE RIVERS.
Captain Symons Reports on Sew.
eral Streams Stop Surveying
and Go to Work.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. secretary
Elkins sent to congress estimates on
several Pacific Coast surveys. Cap
tain II. w. Symons looked over the
Nooksack river in Washington and
found instructions which he thinks
should be removed and the channel
Strengthened to prevent jams. This
work could be done under the regu.
lar appropriation for the improve
ment of Puget Sound. TO take pre-
cautions against the filling up Of
Belingham bay with detritus from
Nooksack river, much work will be
necessary. A survey will cost $1,000.
Captain Symons reported in favor
of the removal of the existing OBJ
structions in Coos river, Oregon.
Colonel Mendell also suggested that
the snags, logs and boulders be re-
moved. No additional survey is
necessary, because the conditions of
the river are constantly changing.
Captain Symons reported in favor of
improving the Upper Columbia riy-
er at two places, one from the dalles
to the international bOundry, Is
miles, and the other from the head
of Rock Island rapids to Foster
creek, just above the mouth of the
Okanogan, 80 miles. To make a
survey and prepare improvements
$4,000 will be necessary. The de-
partment concurs in the recomenda-
ton. Major Thomas III. Handbury
thin ks the Willamette above Oregon
City should be made safely naviga-
BILE at all seasons on account of the
great commerce carried by that
stream. The river trade would in
crease, and at the same time freight
rates would go down. For surveys
and preparatory work Sl2, 900 will be
necessary.

SILVER CONFERENCE,
Prof. Andrews Outlines the Ameri-
can Policy.

BRUSSELS, Dec. 9.--In reply TO an
invitation to him by the InterDa-
tional conference, Prof Andrews. Of
the American delegation, Demo-
crat and friend of Cleveland, said:
1--WE have not, and are not at pres
ent likely to have, one dollar in
silver beyond our needs in the
| United States. We have no idea of
soliciting favor from the people of
Europe. What we desire is as
much to European interests as to
ours. We wish to multiply our
trade with he world. This can
never be successfully accomplished
as long as two great groups Of ma
tions continue to drift apart. We
will not forever continue alone
the task of sustaining the price of
silver. If Europe is not enough
Interested in the matter TO CO.
operate with US, We wilt soon
d 4crease our annual purchase of
silver and begin to provide by re-
cruiting our currency 10y ap issue of
paper. The next congress Is nearly
certain to open procedure in that
direction. We will not give up our
gold" Referring to the tariff
tariff the professor sqid that it is
obvious that there ia no surer way
to lower the American tariff than !
for Europe and the United States to
agree upon policy luvorAbls t. sill
yer as money. That alGne, he de-
clared, would abate the incessent
conflict for gold and leave Us free to
expect generous reduction in the
custom tariff.

etary conference are discussing
whether or not they shall unite in
signing a memorandum on the OBJ
struction offered by Great Britain
to determination of the questions
before the conference. If the con-
ference resumes its sittings after a I
prolonged adjournment, such pro-
test is conceived TO be likely to in
duce the British government to pre-
sent to the conference a decided pol
icy through its delegates, acting in
union thereon. The present British
delegation appears to have been sent
purposely to muddle proceedings.
There is no cohesion among the
British representatives, either as to
principles or procedure.
