VIENNA, March 5.-Although reports
of numerous deaths from starvation are
somewhat exaggerated, the distress that
prevails in the neighborhood of Rhoedka
is terrible. The district has 1900 inhabI-
tants and for the last few weeks there
has been an average of five funerals a
day. The people have been reduced to
the necessity of living on the bark of
trees and the only bread they have had
has been made from straw and oats.
They have eaten up all the corn that was
to be sold in the spring. and thus their
misery tor months ahead is guaranteed.
The authorities say that no such condl-
tion of things has existed since 1916. An
appeal to Vienna has been responded to
generously. Monday nearly 10000 florins
were subscribed, and Tuesday 81 200, of
which $4,000 came from the Rothchids.
But the applicants for bread have in
creased out of all proportion to the sup
ply. On Wednesday more than 5000 wo-
men and as many men had to be sent
away without food. The demand has
become so great that the distribution of
loou uaS Oecu pidCcu III tbc nauus vi q
legal committee especially appointed for
the purpose. Yesterday 1000 loaves of
bread were distributed to the unemployed
and the starving. The Neue Freie Presse
received daily such ample contributions
from sympathizers that it has thus far
been able to defray all cost of the bread
distribution. Now, however, that Vienna
has come to the rescue, the relief will be
suffering. it is hoped, will be shortly
overcome.

ROW Near Eugene,

EUGENE. Or, March Ga cutting
affray, in which three or four persons
were more or less injured, took place last
evening on Fall Creek, about twenty
miles east of Eugene. Two brothers
named Griffin have been living on claim
owned by Walker Young. They had
been clearing up the place, and had en-
gagged one of the McBee boys to do some
slashIng. McBee was to work by the
month. After working three days Nc
Bee gave up the job and claimed pay for
the same. This was refused by the
Griffin boys, they holding that he should
work the month out or receive no pay
Whatever. This angered McBee and with
two of his brothers he met the Griffin
brothers last evening. Some lively words
passed between them, and they finally
came 20 the use OF knives all five being
engaged. Squire Kane was called and
started for the sheriff and doctor. His
statement was that at least three were
wounded, one probably fatally.

Assumed a serious Phase.

WASHINGTON, March 5.--The Behripg
sea matter has assumed most serious
phase, and public officials make no at
tempt to disguise the grave concern at
that Lord Salisbury's proposition with
regard to the present season was not only
to open the Behring sea outside the
thirty-miie zone from Pribylof islands,
to indiscrlmlnate sealing, but to limit the
catching within that belt, including, of
cource, Shores island, to 10000 seals
In the language of prominent Official.
this proposition sis wholly unfair, AFRO
giant, and even insulting to this country"
1t is cOntended by experts the opening of
Bebring sea for one season in the manner
suggested would result in the speedy ex
termination of the seals, and there would
then be nothing left TO arbitratc upon.
The news from British Columbia that the
sealing feet is making preparations for
unusually extensive operations this sea-
son is confirmed at the state department.
Inquiry has developed the fact that a
number were so engaged last year, not
withdrawing the Behring Sea was closed
last year and patrolled by naval vessels
of Great Britain and the United States
The catch of the poachers within its
waters aggregated nearly 10000 seals,
and IL is this TACT that inspires officials of
this government to belief that the open.
ing of the sea to the extent proposed by
Lord Salisbury, admitting SO many more
poachers, would inevitably result in the
total destruction OF the industry before
pext fall, possibly before the questions at
Issue could even be submitted to arbitra-
,tion. 1t may be stated as fact that
this government is not at all disposed 10
allow this 20 be done without making a
vigorous and determined effort to prevent
it. Unless Salisbury recedes from his
present position ana consents to renewal
OF last years mndus vlveadi, restricting
the cajch of seals to such as are regarded
necessary for the natives, it will be neCes
sary for this government to undertake
alone the protection of the seals by the
enforcement of the laws bearing on the
subject. Probably special meeting\of
the cabinet will be held Monday for the
purpose of considering the subject and
deciding upon action IN case of Lord
Salisbury's insistence on his last PROPOSE
tion.

The Judge Grew Weary.

NEW YORK, March 4--Judge Van
Grunt created a sensation In the Field
insanity hearing this evening. The hear
ing has been proceeding quietly for
seven days. This evening Judge Van
Grunt suddenly interrupted the proceed
lngs. and said: ''When this trial began
counsel promised it would consume but
five days and the prospects for finlshiug
1t are meager indeed" !" "Gentlemen of the
jury" he added, rising, ''you are dis
charged. For a moment ali was coufu
sion. The judge, with much deibera'
ton. was putting on his overcoat, while
the jury seemed too much surprise 10 do
anything hut sit still and wonder Then
Mr.. Cochran walked over to District
Attorney NIcoll, and remarked: ''WelI,
I'll be damned" so will l." replied
the district attorney. The Jude lett
the court, but was intercepted by
counsel, who, with many promises.
induced him to return. He did so only
to adjourn court until tomorrow. The
case will probably be concluded then.
Judge Van Grum's action is almost un-
precedented, and only accounted for by
the fact that the case having overrun the
limit, has compelled the judge to sit up
nights preparing for his general term
work in the supreme court.

Canadian Action.

VICTORIA, B. c., March 4-In the pro
yinclal legislature today the Hon. j. H.
Turner, minister of finance, seconded the
Hon. John Robson's lengthy resolution In
reference 10 the Behring Sea fisheries,
urging the imperial government to grant
compensation to sealers for the loss sus-
tained last season, and to refuse the
modus vivendI for another year. The
Hon. Turner SAID there were fifty one
vessels in the province engaged in seal
ing, forty six registered at Victoria and
five registered at Vancouver. Besides
these there are sixteen now on the way
from Noya Scotia. The total cost of the
fifty one now here was 100000, and the
outfit annually required cost of $780,
900. The number OF white men actually
engaged was over 800 and 541 Indians
were likewise occupied. The Hon. John
Robson, the premier, said the time had
now come when the British Columbia
government must speak with no uncertain
sound and demand its full rights. Infor
nation was received by the government
which proved that the present season was
likely to be one of the best TOR years, and
it would be extremely unfortunate to
have any interference with the sealers.

The Tunnel Accident.

LocKPoRT, n. Y, March 4.-The
Niagara Falls tunnel accident Wednes
day resulted more dlsastrously than was
a. first thought. The company's con-
tractors, Rogers & Clement, gave out
that only one man was injured, never
theless five persons have been kept
in the Ctlice of the contractors waiting a
call in case of need. Robert Addison.
the injured man, had his leg broken in
two places and his spine dislocated. He
was taken to Buffalo, and it is feared
that be will not recover. The other men
were also taken out injured, but not
seriously. The contractors today denied
that there were any more men buried in
the debris Workmen who were en-
ployed there state that five men are
missing, and are supposed to be buried.
The workmen report that an additional
piece of the roof fell last night, and
several men who were at work removing
the debris narrowly escaped being buried
underneath It, The work of removing
the old timbers progresses very slowly,
and the bodies of the men, if there. will
probably not be reached before Saturday.

An Unfortunate Killing.

BOISE CRY, March Full particulars
concerning the unfortunate killing at
Oreana of Sam j. Pritchard. deputy United
States marshal and secretary of the Re-
publican state central committee, were
received tonight. II seems that Pritchard
had suddenly become insane, and he had
by his strange actions badly frightened
his wife and other members of the family
His father-in-law, Mr.. Ulrich, besought
Constable William Fleming to arrest
Pritchard. and he agreed to do 50. He
found Pritchard in store, and told him
he had come to arrest him. Pntchard
resisted, and Fleming commanded him to
throw up his hands, but he refused. and
thrust one hand into the pocket OF bis
overcoat as if to draw pistol. Fleming
Immediately fired three shots, all OF
which pierced Pritchard's body. He fell
dead. Fleming gave himself up, but was
exoperated by coroner's jury. He will,
however, be examined by magistrate
Prtchard was buried today at Silver
City, and had the largest funeral ever
seen in the county. He was unarmed
when killed. and Fleming is centured for
shooting too quickly. Mr.. UIrich, how
ever, says he, and not Fleming, Is to
blame, as he told the latter Pritchard was
armed.

To Mount Hood.

The following beautiful lines to Mt. Hood
were written by young man, who viewed
the mountain from Portland Heights at
noon while on visit to that city, and was SO
enraptured that long afterwards he returned
to behold the scene from the same elevation
at sunset:
Thou priest of nature clad in snow
A garment lasting long as time,
A pureness SO immaculate,
A type thou art of one divine.
saw thee when the blazing noon
Revealed thy form sublime to men
Against the vault of perfect blue
As if the Christ had come again.
gazed upon thy lovely brow,
Unkissed save by the winds of Heaven,
When sunsets flush did glory all
The opalescent clouded even.
You then reflected back the tints
Of radiant rainbow's varied dyes,
While gently stole the soft impress
Of twilight's seal on ambient skies.

Arlington Record: 1t now appears that
the county judge of this county never made
or contemplated making any such order in
relation to the Australian ballot system as
they were credited with by the Condor
Globe. They simply declined an offer from
an agent for the sale of patent booths. At
the proper time they will arrange for the
full and lawful compliance with the act of
Feb. l3, 1891. Judge Mariner informs us
that the ''otficial think factory" of this
county was in no way authorized to quote
them as it did. They will make the neces.
sary order at the March term, which will be
ample time and the proper time for them to
act.

Hawthorne's History of Oregon. /"

Julian Hawthorne has completed his
History of Oregon" aid the manuscript
is now in the printers hands. There yet
remains to be received a small portion of
the biographical matter, when the work
will be pushed forward as rapidly as possi-
BILE. There has been no delay in the pro-
duction or this work. Mr.. Hawthorne al
lows himself sufficient time for all his writ
ings, and the result Of his labors has called
forth praises from the best judges Of litera-
ture, both here and in the mother country.
'Good wine needs no bush, ard Mr.. Haw-
thorne's writings speak for themselves. d.

backing he desires and perhaps the largest
of any author in the world. As much time
and labor has been consumed on the "His-
tory OF Oregon" 1t can but add another lit
erary triumph to the name of its author.
