The Railway Register of Saturday says
''There is a movement on foot among the
second mortgage income bondholders of the
Texas Pacific railway to reach some policy
for the protection of their interests in case
there is default in the payment of inter
est on the incomes on March /. Ia ere is
no expectation that the company will make
any payment, and under the provisions of
the mortgage under certain conditions the
income bondholders may take charge of the
property and operate it, reserving for their
benefit all surplus over the fixed charges
on the first mortgage. These conditions
require the petition of holders to the
amount of one-third of the second mortgage
bonds before the trustee, the Mercantile
trust company, may take control. 1t is
provided that on the application of three
quarters OF the bondholders they may
appoint a committee in conjunction with
nc trust company to operate the road with
all the powers of board of directors. It
is Ito secure a committee which Will COM
mand confidence that the bondholders are
now directing their energies"

nothing less than the abandonment of Lead

divisions and the establishment of Buena
Vista as the end of the first division. The
change will necessitate the erection of
round-houses at Buena Vista

The Bulldog and Lynx Fight.

CARSON, New, March 20.-The bull
dog and lynx fight came off today at the
race track some. time before the adver-
tised hour in order to evade. the officers,
who were to be on hand to stop the pro-
ceedings. The instant the animals saw
each other the 10 * was deadly. The
bulldog took hold on the right foreleg,
and held on until the lynx died. The
fight lasted nearly an hour. The dog
was frightfully torn by its atagonist, and
bled profusely. Afterwards he broke
away and cleared out number of dogs
in Chinatown. Only few spectators
were present, owing to the rushed pro-
ceedings.

A Row Imminent.

New YORK, March 21.-There is a
large amount of talk about the prospect
of Drayton- Borrowe duel. 1t is stated
that Drayton's brother and two of his
influential friends-are authority for the
statement that Drayton does not know
of the recent developments of the case
The result is that the friends of both
Drayton and Borrower, chartered tugs
today, and as soon as the Majestic is
sighted there will be race down the
bay for the steamship. The Drayton
tug will. contain his brother, two Phil
adelphia friends and number of prom
inent New Yorkers. On the Borrowe
tug will be a crowd of his friends.
Drayton's brother, it is said, proposes to
inform HIM of all that has occurred.
If hostilities are not indulged in then,
Drayton may have something to tell his
enemy. Borrowe's friends propose to
put him on his guard, and they may
clash with the Drayten faction while do
ing SO. 1t is expected that very
lively row will take place on the Ma
jestic on her way to this city from the
lower bay, as the result of the people on
the two tugs getting aboard her.

Chicago RoodIe.

CHICAGO, March 21.-The Tribune
gives list of the alleged Doodle transac-
tions by the city council. 1t includes
$3.50, 900 for the Northern Pacific fran
chise, and 500, 900 for other franchises,
some of which the paper processes to
have evidence to prove were given.
President 0akes, of the Northern Pacific,
denies that his road is in any way con-
nected with the scandal. He speaks of
the alleged bribery of the Chicago coun-
Gil by the Northern Pacific at gross ex-
aggeration, and not only that, but an
absurdity. There is not word of truth
in the entire story. -

British HIutineers.

VANCOUVER, B. c.. March 2I.-An in
cident that will probably result in a
man-of-war having to make trip home
occurred here Saturday. This port be-
ing within easy access of United States
soil, it has been the rule that every iron
clad of old England that anchors here
suffers from an epidemic of deserters.
This has resulted in standing reward
being offered to any police. officer who
returns a deserter to the man-of-war
Today Chief of Police McLaren and
Officer Mcleod took five men on board
the Daphne who had been arrested for
desertfon. The putting of these men in
irons enraged the sailors, who made an
attack on the chief of police after the
other officer had descended the ladder
The chief defended himself, but blow
from stalwart able seaman felled him
to the deck like log. Mcleod rushed
up the ladder again to defend his chief
and was felled by a. swabbing-brush.
The officers, with the assistance of the
marines, drove back the nutineers, who
refused to listen to orders until forced to
do SO at the point of the bayonets of the
marines. After determined struggle
the mutineers were overcome and ironed.
The case has no parallel in the history
of the British squadron, and the local
authorities have waived the right of
punishment to the captain . of the
Daphne. The mutineers will have to be
sent home to England to put in Eat least
five years" Both the police officers are
seriously injured. 1t is credltably re-
ported that word has been sent to
Esquimalt for sister ship to come over
to lay alongside in case of further trou-
BILE, it being feared that general mutiny
will follow, as the men will all have
completed their term in May, and are
consequently reckless.

STILL SOME HOPE FOR THE DALLEs.
The Billion Congress Nearly EqualIed
-All for Works of National
Importance.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-You may
give Representative Hermann credit for
securing the greatest results. under the
circumstances, ever yet secured. The
river and harbor bill is now completed
and is ordered reported to the house
The total allowance now for Oregon is
81, 900 and nearly equals that of the
"billion dollar congress- although the
aggregate of the present bill, is about
$40, PA 900 or less than that of the last
bill as it was reported from the river and
harbor committee. Then it was $2O,-
932 ,445. The state of Washington re-
ceives an aggregate allowance of $S4 900,
as against $4,000 of last congress. The
canal and locks at the cascades of the
Columbia receives nearly $500, 900 and is
placed under the contract system for
completion, the secretary of war being
authorized to contract for the whole
work, for which 81 100000 is estimated,
exclusive of the sum now allowed in the
present bill, which becomes Immediate
ly available. The same language is used
as applies to the works at Galveston,
Baltimore and Philadelphia harbors and
the Sault Ste Marie canal, etc. Under
the contract system it is expected that
ships can pass through the, cascade
canal and locks of the Columbia within
two years. Mr.. Hermann made a
gallant and very persistent as well as
discreet struggle for the concession to
his state. He firmly insisted that if like
privileges were bestowed on any other
great works of the nation, it must be
understood that the cascade locks should
be counted in. He stubbornly resisted
any other arrangement, and the results
of his arguments have proven that he
not only deserves appreciation at home
but promotion in Washington.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-Bank Ex-
aminer w. II. Head, for Oregon and

Spokane National bank, will be bounced
out of Office. Charges were made against
them some time ago by the members of

out to Washington to investigate. 1t is
not yet known who will be appointed to
Heald's position. Mr.. Bird, of Tacoma,
has been recommended for the receiver
ship at Spokane. The bank examiner
will have to be Endorsed by both WASH
ington and Oregon as that is his district.
The receiver will probably be appointed
upon the recommendation of the Wash
ington delegation.

The striking employees of the Canadian
Pacific are becoming somewhat demon
strative. H. G. McMicken, the Great
Northern agent for the Canadian Pacific
train between Winnipeg and the boun-
dary, was greeted with a shower of eggs
at Morris on Friday last, by gang of
the strikers. Another official was
smeared with tar and had to protect
himself with a pistol. Both sides de-
clare that they will not give in and the
railroad people say they can replace the
strikers in a few days.
The mine owners at Ceur d'Alene
have decided to resume work all through
that rich section, as the railroads have

make resumption possible. About 1000
miners who left the camp, will back in

and lead production is a factor in fixing
the price of those metals, the smelters
all over the country were at loss to find
enough wet ores to run their plants, af-
ter shipments ceased q few months ago.

WHAT HAS BEEN MAY AGAIN BE.
After Being Successfully Tried Is Be-
coming Very Popular
OFTEN ASKED FOR BY THE DALLEs
Appropriations Expedited Under the
system---Better Work Secured
Etc. Etc.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-The contract
system of public improvement for the
waterways is becoming very popular,
after being tried successfully in two or
three places. In the last river and har-
Dor bill, the Sault st Marie improve
ments and the Galveston harbor were
put under the contract system. The
river and harbor bill, which has recently
been practically completed, will place
the Mississippi river improvements un-
der the contract system, also the deep
water channel system of the great lakes,
as well as the Hudson river and the
Mobile, Ala, harbor improvements.
This is matter of great Importance, as
it insures the continuation of these
works, whether river and harbor bill
should pass or not, as an appropriation
will be made in the regular bills for
these improvements from year to year.
The people of The Dalles have often
asked that the contract system be applied
to the construction of the cascade locks.
1t is hoped now the effort may be sue
&C ssful.
