THE SMUGGLING CASES

Progress.
DAMAGING EVIDENCE OFFERED
InfOrmer Blum Details the''T

DAMAGING EVIDENCE OFFERED
Associated Press.

Portland, Nov. 2S.-The trial Of Will
liam Dunbar on charge of smuggling
opium was begun in the United States
District court this morning. The en-
tire forenoon was consumed in the SCI
lection of jury.
The principal witness called by the
government this afternoon was Nathan
| Blum, who is also O stockholder In the
Merchants Steamship Co. Blum yes
terday pleaded guilty TO smuggling
opium, and 1t is understood that the
prosecution is relying on his testimony
principally to secure the conviction of
the others. Blum proved to be very
willing witness, and gave his testimony
in a bravado manner. He testified that
from March, 1892, to March, 1S9S his
company smuggled from seven to nine
tons of opium into this port, valued at
about $200000 He went into details,
showing that while his company was
cstensibly doing wholesale grocery
and shipping business, their main
source of revenue was from smuggled
opium, which was disposed of in this
city and in San Francisco. Blum, WI
b. lacking and Major John Wilson,
Of Victoria, B. c., it appears from the
testimony, bought all the opium in
Victoria and Vancouver, B. c., and
there put 1t aboard steamers for this
port. The drug was usually shipped
in barrels, and when the steamer reach
ed the Columbia river a few miles
from the city, the opium was thrown
overheard and picked up by men in
small boats who had been sent to await
the steamers arrival A number of
kilograms which passed between Blum
and Dunbar were offered in evidence.
When they wished to refer to a ship
ment of opium they used the words
sacks of potatoes" which meant
pounds of opium The cross-exam-
ination of Blum had just begun when
court adjourned until tomorrow.
The trial is on two indictments, one
containing eight, the other five counts, |
The total amount of opium which it is |
alleged Dunbar was implicated in snug |
Cling within period of one year from
March, 1892, is S645 pounds. AT noon
the jury, composed wholly of farmers,
was impanelled. In the opening state
ment the government outlined the par
ticulars Of each count in detail, showing
the disposition of the opium which was
purchased in Victoria, B. c., and
brought into the United States by the
steamers Wilmington and Haytain Re-
public, plying between Victoria and
Portland and belonging to the Mer-
chants Steamship Company, of which
Dunbar was president. The defense
claim that the indictments are the re-
suit of a conspiracy of poltroons and
petty politicians.

POSTAL MATTERS.
The Postmaster General Files His An
nual Report.


Washington, Nov. 2S-The postmaster
generals annual report shows that the
deficiency for the year ended June 30,
1S93 was $5,17,171, instead of $1.552, ,423,
as estimated by Wanamaker Instead
of surplus there will be n deficit of
7,SSO,0OO for the current year. The es-
timated gross revenue for the year end
ing June 30, 1895, is $S4,427, 74S; ex-
penditures, 800, ,S99.4S5 There are 6lO
free delivery offices. He suggests that
postal notes be abolished and the
charge for money orders reduced. The
requirements of the railway mail SER
vice will call for an increase of six TO
seven thousand men. He recommends
an appropriation to provide for widows
and orphans Of railway mail clerks
killed while on duty. The department
last year carried 9Ol,OOO.OOO pounds of
second-class matter, an increase Of IA
per cent. The sale of Columbian
postage stamps is only $1.OOO,OOO, in
stead of 2,5OO,OOO as estimated by Wan
amaker.

which the ages of these trees has been

THE EFFECT OF FREE TRADE
Associated Press,

Tacoma, Nov. 2S.--Statistic records
furnished by Expert Victor II. Brek-
man, Of the Puget Sound Lumberman,
show that If lumber is placed on the
free list and the present duty of $3.50
per thousand feet cut off, the lumber
industry of the Pacific coast states,
representing capital of $5O,OOO,OOO, will
suffer because of the cheap Chinese
and Kanaka sawmill labor of British
Columbia; also, that the Pacific coast
lumbermen in the United states, re-
gardless of political affiliations, gener-
ally oppose the placing of lumber on
the free list.

There's a little brown wren that has built in
 our tree, And she's scarcely as big as big bumblebce. She has hollowed house in the heart of a
 limb And made the walls tidy and made the floor
 trim With the down of the crows foot. with tow
 and with straw, The coziest dwelling that ever you saw. This little brown wren has the brightest of
 eyes And a foot of a very diminutive size. Her tail is trig as the sail of a ship. She's demure, though she walks with hop
 and a skip, And her voice-but flute were more f than

 said
 So straightway he mounted on impudent wing And entered the door without pausins To ring An instant-and swiftly that feathery knight, All towsled and tumhIcd. in terror took flight, While there by the door on Her favOrite perch, As neat lady just starting for church, With this song on her lips, "lle will not call

 Unless he is asked" sat the little brown wren. Clinton Scollard in Harper's Young People.

and dull glass is a disgrace to any house. Every good servant has some particular hobby on both these points, and so long as the result is satisfactory the method employed matters little. Some use cold water; others prefer warm. It should be remembered that delicate glass will not stand very hot water A wooden bowl is the best yes sel to use, and it should be kept for this purpose only and frequently secured to obviate all possibility of greasiness. None but the sOftest and driest cloths should be used, and without these it will be impossible to put a good polish on the glass.
 There are many ways of cleaning de- cantcrs such aS the use of shot, common salts and above all ammonia. All bot ties should be well shaken after being nearly filled with the ammonia or other material and left to stand for time. After more shaking. rinse again until the water remains quite clear. and set the dcCanter upside down on a rack to drain. The outside can be washed and polished when the inside is clean and dry. Gas globes require special treatment. They should be scrubbed with a soft, firm brush and soap and water. If badly stained, put them into q large saucepan in lukewarm water, ill which soda and soap have previously been dissolved. Set them near but not on the fire for sev- eral hours; then place the saucepan with its contents in cool place and do not attempt to take out the globe until the water is quite cold. Rinse in lukewarm water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. After this process be careful al ways to put the globe in the sunshine or in warm place to dry absolutely be- fore it is used; otherwise it will crack. Lamp chimneys should not be washed if it can possibly be avoided. and if they are properly wiped and polished every day it will be quite superhuous.
