After Many Years.

There are many incidents connected with
the early history of the first settlements on
this coast that would furnish substance for
romances; but perhaps they will never be
written, and as time removes them farther
from the present generation. they gradually
brought to mind yesterday in talking to an
old pioneer, who has been on the Pacific
coast since lS49. In that year he crossed
the plains with man trem Philadelphia to
California, and he mined with him and was
his cabin mate for seven years. In 1862
was the last time he saw his friend, and
two years later he heard from him some
where in California. Since that time he
has heard nothing of him, and did not know
whether he was dead or alive. Last Satur-
day a letter came to him from person al
Hood River, from his old friend since lS49,
making inquiries of his whereabouts, and
brother could not be more pleased than he
was to hear of his partner of former days, at
ter silence of nearly thirty years. During
the year. they had been together an indis-
soluble bond of friendship had grown be-
tween them; and this will always exist.
The weary journey across the plalns the
mining life in California, and the long years
have only served to unite them
more closely to each other. What happy
meeting there would be If these two pic
neers could recount incidents of early days.
There were many thrilling experiences in
the early history of the coast, and which
will never be re.enacted.

WASHINGTON, Dec lin the senate,

tion of persons who have been allowed
to make entries of land within the for
mer Mile L4cs reservation in Minnesota
was passed.
Hoar introduced a resolution calling
u pom the president for further informa
ton as to his actions ON Hawaiian affairs
The resolution bv imputatIon attacks the
presidents appointment OF a commits
sioner without the consent aud advice of

remarks on the resolution, said if it were
true the president, the senate being IN
session, had authorized an officer to ex
ercise paramount: diplomatic authority
in another country, with which the
United States was at peace, had author
ized him to employ at his discretion the
naval force of the United States. and had
given him q title which was enumerated
as one of the diplomatic officers in an
act OF congress, he was standing upon
very slippery ground and had better step
onto terra frma rapidly and at once"
"The ostrich puts his head in the sand"
said Hoar, .'and thinks he will not be
seen. The rhlnoceros hides in his mud
puddle and breathes through his nose
and thiuks he will not be seen. But
neither of these are fit and useful pre-
cedents for the president of the United
States. The people will know the truth
of the matter"

Death in the Lake.

SEATTLE. Wash, Dec. 10-Three duck
hunters were drowned in Lake Union
early this morning during gale and a
fourth narrowly escaped. Those drowned
were: James Elan, bookkeeper of the
Seattle steam laundry; Emmett Barbee,
driver for the model laundry; Joseph
Warnett, marker of the Seattle laundry.
William Stewart, driver of the Seattle
laundry, got ashere to tell the tale. The
party arranged last night to leave the
Seattle laundry on the shore of the lake
at o'clock this morning in four -oared
boat. When they EN- barked at the hour
named the wind was blowing almost
gale They rowed about two miles to
where the lake narrows down toward the
Lake Washington portage. There they
were struck by q gale which rolled
wave that completely engulfed their frail
craft. All four found themselves in the
ice cold water. Barbee became bewil-
dered, a1d did not seize hold of the boat
as the others did, and after ffounderlng
moment went to the bottom. Stewart
and Wernett held to the boat, but Elan,
thinking that light on shore fully
quarter of mile away was only few
rods, struck out to reach it, but was
dragged down by his heavy clothing be-
fore he had gone 30 feet He tried to
return, but sunk when within eight feet
OF the boat.
For 90 minutes Stewart and Wernett
hung to the boat, which was now upside
down, and finally succeeded In rigbhng
it, but 1t was submerged by every wave.
They hung to the guards on opposite
sides and for over an hour padded with
all their might toward shere. Finally
Wernett failed and let go of the boat.
Stewart reached across and caught bis
arm, but could get no response. He
yelled Justify and when about so feet
from shore saw help coming from Henry
Fuhrman's residence near the banks. He
made superhuman effort and got the
boat within 10 feet of the shore, when be
became UNCONSCIOUS and let go of the
boat and Wernett. Both were picked up
q minute later. Wernntt was dead and
Stewart did not recover consciousness till
late this evening. The bodies of the
other two have not been recovered.

A Small Storm.

The wind was on rampage yesterday
morning about II o'clock, and howled
around street corners, played Annie Laurie
In the tree tops and sang Yankle Doodle
along the rock.rIbbed sides of the ever-last-
ing hills. Old Columbia was terribly agl-
tated, and the angry waves showed their
teeth in thousand instances. The people
caught the contagion and thronged the
wharves on the river banks to watch the
war of the elements, and gaze in awe at the
grandeur of the Titanic fury of the wind.
Nestled close to the bank was the Inland
Queen, apparently safe from every disturb
ance; but the west wind loosened her from
the moor1ngs and sped her across the river
as though she were nothing but child's
toy. The boat was attached bv the sheriff
of this county. and he saw the property
that was held under an attachment of an
Oregon court hugging the Washington
shore. He claims this does not release the
legal process, as the elements can
never place anything, after jurisdIc-
tion has been once acquired outside the pro-
cess OF courts. The scows anchored in the
stream, were in many instances torn from
their moorings and pitched around promis-
cuously under the influence of the wind.
Fortunately no great damage was suffere d,
and the injury to shipping was of little con-
sennence

interviews with the officers aud passen- :
gers regarding the situation in Hawaii
1t was stated that when the steamer left
the islands the provisional government
was still in power and was maintaining a
very determined attitude. Much excite
ment prevailed among the business men
and the people generally, and the actieu
OF the United States government was
awaited with the greatest anxiety. The

a steamer Ashore.

MILWAUKEE, Dec. 11-The. steamer #
and p H.. of the Flint and Pere Mar
ouette line, went ashore in a terrible
easterlv gale and snow storm, SIX mile
north of here, this morning. The sea'
were so high that the surfboat could NO
be towed to the scene and the llfesavins
apparatus had to be taken overland. The
steamer is 10 a perilous position. There
are IS passengers and a crew of 10 or
board. Grea, difficulty was experienced
where the vessel lay, OWING to the steep
high bluffs. When the crew finally sue
ceeded in getting surfboat down TO the
shore, it was found that the bIgh sea and
rocklined bottom of the coast made II
impossible to use the,surfboat. Arrange
menrs were at once made to rig breeches
buoy and throw a line to tre wreck from
a mortar. From the beach the steamer
seems to be in very bad position, being
800 to 400 feet from shore, broadslde tn
the seas, pounding heavily on the ROCKS
and evidently full of water. The pasen-
gers have taken refuge Oh the cabin, and
appear to be in no immediate danger
The steamer is rated Al. aud is worth
$50, 900, with cargo of general merchant
Sc of unknown value.
1t was finally decided to try to get out
in the surfboat After a stiff pull of l 8
minutes it reached the side OF the vessel
and two of the woman on board, Mrs.
Augusta Peterson ard Mrs Flora Gun

down in sling into the boat. After

take to allay PAIN during the night. In the
room there was also some powdered epium

morning, Hon. J. B. Huntington. of the
Burns land office, heard labored breathing

upon examination it was found that he had
taken all the capsules apd considerable of

done for him, but of no avail and he died
the next morning. While this might have
been case of an overdose of the drug, our
informant states that Ia the opinion of the
Burns people, Cain took the same with
suicidal intent. He left nothing to indI-

The Bomb-Thrower.

PARIS, Dec. 1.-THE excitement re-
sulting frem the throwing OF the bomb
in the chamber of deputies Saturday has
somewhat subsidized, and the people are
now looking to the chamber to enact
measures to stamp out the reds. Pre-
vious to this outrage the union of social~
lists and anarchists was strong enough in
tine chamber to overthrow one govern
ment, and they were confident of being
able to do the same with the existing
government; but Vaillant's dastardly
performance seems to have greatly
strengthened the hands of the govern
ment, and put it in position to make an
effective fight against the anarchists. 1t
is believed this act, which has sent cbills
chasing up and down the spine of every
monarch of Europe, will result in JOINT
action by France, England, Spain, Italy
and Austria for the extraditIon and Sc
we're punishment of all proved to have
engaged in anaIchIstic ccnspiracies. 1t
is also expect ed measures will be intro
duced in the chamber of deputies for the
punishment of those who advocate or de-
fend crime in newspapers, or punishing
with severity the unlawful possession OF
explosives.
Valiant still defantly processes to
glory in his act, and declares he has no
acconplices. but this the police do not
believe, and are at work on clews look-
ing to the arrest of others In connection
with the affair 1t is believed valiant
will be speedily tried and executed. 1t
appears that Marchal. the name which |
he first gave, Is the name of bis mistress,
whom he enticed away from her husband,
having deserted bis wife in America and |
came to France last January. He went |
to board at Marchal's house. Madame |
Marchal had told the police the story |
of how he succeeded in separating beI
from her husband. and made her work |

A Strange Story.

A sensational story is published in the
Philadelphia Times, of December lst. con-
tanned in dispatch from Pendleton, under
date of November 29th, of the skeleton OF
man being found walled in cave in the
Blue mountains. "a party of prospectors, I"
the dispatch says, returning a few days
ago from trip through the Blue mountains,
lying west OF here. reported curious find
in cave high up on one of the peaks over
looking the valley. They came across the
remains of trap, and then of the marks,
though faint, of an axe on several trees, and
convinced from these indications that some
person. presumably white, had at one time
lived in the vicinity, for all its wlldness
they continued their search for that persons
habitation until they finally discovered the
cave spoken Of Entering this, they found
the way blocked by barricade of logs and
clay. constructed evidently from the inte-
rior. As there appeared to be no opening
to the wall they decided that whoever had
built it had closed it on himself. With
some difficulty they succeeded In demolIsh-
ing the wall. which rose nearly to the top
of the cavern.
'They dug through the wall and found
the skeleton Of a man supported on the
stump of tree to which a support for the
back had been added. The mans long white
beard still flowed over his breast, though |
his clothing had all fallen away, except |
where here and there hung a disordered |
shred. Upon the feet were tolerably we'll |
preserved sandals of leather. made from the |
undressed skins Of animals. A gan of some
what antiquated make stood beside the |
skeleton in such position as to suggest to
the awe stricken party that the man had in
all probability shot himself"
1t was evident from the surroundings that
the cave had been used for dwelling by |
some person whe was anxious to have some
of the comforts of life around him, and a
copy of the Iliad and Spanish edition of |
Don Quixote were discovered in the cave.
There are other things mentioned which in.
crease the mystery. and taken altogether
the story reads like one of DeFoe's crea-
tions-another modern Robinson Crusoe.
