Sensational Testimony In the Smugglin Z
Case at Portland.

Sensational Testimony In the Smuggling
Case at Portland.
PORTLAND. Ore, Nov. %. - In the
smuggling case, the principal witness
called by the government this afternoon,
was Nathan Blum, stakeholder in the
Merchants Steamship company. Blum
yesterday pleaded guilty to smuggling
opium, and it is understood that the
prosecution is relying on his testimony
principally to secure conviction OF the
others. Blum proved to be very will
ing witness and gave his testimony in a
bravado manner. He testified that from
March, 1892, to March, 1898 his COM
pany smuggled from seven to nine tons
of opium into this port, valued at about
100000. He went into details, showing
that while his company was ostensibly
doing a wholesale grocery and chipping
business, their main source of revenue
was from smuggling opium, which was
disposed of in this city and San Fran
cisco.
Blum. W. B. Jackling and Major John
Wilson, of Victoria, B. c., it appears
from the testimony, bought all the
opium in Victoria and Vancouver, B. c.,
and they put it aboard steamers for this
port. The drug was usually shipped in
barrels, and when the steamer reached
the Columbia river, few miles from
the city, the opium was thrown over
board and picked up by men in small
boats, who bad been sent to await the
steamers arrival.

FRESNO, Cal, Nov. 28.-The work OF
securing jury to try Chris Evans WAS
finished this afternoon. Twenty tales
men were examined during the day and
the four needed jurymen secured. The
jury is considered an exceptionally fine
one. After the examination of the first
talesman this morning, two of Evans
children came into the court room and
ran up to him and kissed him, then one
took seat on the mothers lap and the
other pulled chair up and sat down
beside her father. At the afternoon
session four more of Evans tow-headed
offspring appeared in the court room
and took places near their father. The
opening statement for the people was
made by w. d. Tupper. associate coun-
sci. He first described the fight at
Young's cabin, stating that the officers,
among whom was Vic Wilson, for whose
murder Evans is being tried, were COM
ing down the trail. They did not sus-
pect they were in danger of an attack
and were totally unprepared. After
telling how Evans and Sontag began the
hostilities that resulted in the murder
of Wilson and Andy McGinnis, Attor-
ney Tupper described the train robbery
at Coils by Evans and Sontag and the
murder by the same persons of Oscar
Beaver at Visalia. Having established
the connection of the defendant with
these crimes, the speaker claimed the
officers were in pursuit of their duty
when ambushed and. foullv murdered
by the defendant and his partner, John
Sontag. Ths taking of testimony will
begin in the morning.

ALL PARTIES SATISFIED.
A SENSATIONAL SUIT SETTLED
OUT OF COURT.
Mr.. seaton's Claim on the Estate of
the Late Squire Baird - Mrs.
Langtry Jubilant Over tho
Settlemont.

LONDON, Nov. 28.--In court today the
expected sensational suit of Seaton ver-
sus the estate OF the late Abingdon
Baird. the well known English sporting
man, WAS called for a hearing. Seaton,
we'll known frequenter of races,
broughtsuit against the estate to recover
the sum OF $4,000, which is said to be
the unpaid balance of confederation of
$l75, 600 which Baird promised to pay
plaintiff for quietly recovering bank
notes to the amount of $3.50 900 alleged
to haEe been stolen from Baird by "a
lady" with whom 'the squire had rela-
tions. AS soon as the jury was sworn in
a conference between counsel was had,
and later Sir Henry James announced
that an arrangement was made satisiac-
tory to both parties. The proceedings
then closed. Among those noticed in
the vicinity during the conference be-
tween counsel was Mrs. Langtry. The
Westminster Gazette adds that from the
jubjlation with which Mrs. Langtry
received the news OF the settlement. it
may be presumed the terms were not
unsatisfactory to her.

LONDON, Nov. 2S.-Giadstcne, in the
commons today, said the government
had no information regarding any pro-
ceedings on the part of Russia to &C.
auire naval station in the Mediterra-
mean.
Home Secretary Asquith, replying to
a question, said no doubt an attempt
had been made to cause dynamite ex-
plosion in Dublin, but he WAS unable to
say whether there was any connection
between the murdered man Reed, yes
terday evening, and the dynamite plot,
as the police of Dublin thought it mad
viesble to make further statements upon
the subject at present.
Sydney Buxton, parliamentary Hecre-
tary of the colonial office, said Lord
Aberdeen, governor-general OF Canada,
telegraphed that the attempt to blow up
the Nelson monument in Montreal was
the freak OF three excitable lads, and
that the outrage was subject of dis
approval on the part of the entire
French and English press of Canada.

toned with regard to prohibiting an

WANAMAKER AT FAULT.
POSTMASTER-GENERAL BISSELL'S
ANNUAL REPORT.
He Finds That His Predecessor Erred
Greatly in His Calculations-A Big
Deficit in the Postal
Revenues.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-The postmas-
ter-generaps annual report shows that
the deficiency for the year ended June
80, 1893, was $5.177 III, instead of
81 1852, ,423. as estimated by Wanamaker.
Instead of surplus there will be de-
6cit of 81, $50, 900 the current year. 1t
is estimated the gross revenue for the
year ending June 80, 1895, will be $84,-
427 ,748; expenditures, 500, ,399, ,4S5. The
deficit will be decreased million and a
quarter by the fund taken from the un-
paid money order account.
There are 6l0 free delivery offices. The
extension of the free delivery in towns
of 900 to 1000 would require an addi-
tional outlay OF 10.000,00
The report suggests that postal notes
be abolished and the charge for money
orders reduced.
The requirements for the railway mail
service will call for an increase of 5000
to 1000 men. The report recommends
an appropriation to provide for the
widows and orphans of railway mail
clerks killed on duty.
The department last year carried 301.-
600 200 pounds OF second-class matter, au
increase of IA per cent.
The sale of Columbian postage stamps
is only 81 900, 900, instead of $1,000. 900
as estimated by Wanamaker.
The postmaster-general thinks no pos
tive advantages have occurred from the
ocean mail subsidy, and therefore no
new contracts have been entered into.
He recommends that 10 of the largest
post Offices, including San Francisco,
which yield oEe-third of the total post
age revenue, be put in class by them
selves, and appropriations made for
them by congress, without the interven-
tion of the rules applicable to other
post Offices.
The worlds fair post office receipts for
elk months were s64. 1888, equal to the
postal business of city of $4,000 inhab-
itants.
The postal earnings OF the Pacific rail-
rOads were 81 6l7 S45.

BERLIN, Nov. 2S.--It now appears that
Emperor William, last Sunday received
an Internal machine from Orleans, Himi-
lar to the one sent to Csprivi. 1t was
accompanied by a letter. Both were
delivered at the emperor's civil cabinet,
where its nature was discovered and it
was rendered harmless.
The letter which accompanied the
internal machine sent to Csprivi, read {:
IL have the honor to forward you SAM
pies of an astonishing kind Of radish
seed, usually sown in December and
gathered in February. This kind is not
affected by frost. Receive, sir. .the
assurance of my perfect consideration,
(Signed) &c. DocHANTEIRs,
III Rue Bontlong, Orleans"
The letter sent to Emperor William
with the internal machine had the same
contents as the one addressed to Ca
privi. The supposition that the sending
of the two internal machines was the
work of crank 10 now abandoned, and
IL is believed the attempts upon the lifc
OF the emperor and the chancellor were
due to Chauvinists, disappointed at the
sloW work of the Franco Russiafi en-
tente, and who decided to take revenge
in their own hands.
The machine sent to the emperor was
contained in wooden box similar to
those used for dominos. At one end OF
the box, near the bottom, was fixed
brass case filled with nitro-glycerine.
The explosive was concealed Though an
aperture in the bottom, with an ordi-
nary percussion cap. The box was filled
in with loose gunpowder. AS the ap-
pearsnce of the box excited suspicion it
was handed over to the chief of police
who had it opened by gunsmith.
The emperor has not yet been in
formed of the receipt OF either internal
machine. The French government has
promised the utmost assistahce in trac.
ingthe author OF the attempted out
rage, who is as yet utterly unknown.

Tillman's message treats of railroad tax
alton and the dispensary law. The gov

between the dignity of the federal court
and these corporations must be annuled,
and the owners of bonds be made to un-
derstand that there is a point beyond
which the patience OF the state will not
permit them to CO."
The governor expresses wonder that
the dispensary act has stood the test of

letter carrier firmly denies the story.
Every day since the two young people
disappeared the lake has been dragged
by competent boatmen. The finding OF
the Doctors overcoat has created COM
ment. The coat, together with Mics
Yeargin's gloves, we're found on the
bank OF the lake quite dry. The boat
was near by, partly filed with water.
There are some that are inclined to be-.
lieve the story that DR.. Merriam and
