Fire inthe Mountains.

Weston Leader: T. F. McCabe,
who lives on the mountain above
Weston, mourns the loss of about
$1b0 worth of farm machinery
and a small shed in which it was
stored. The loss was occasioned
thuswise: A quantity of refuse
straw had been piled near the shed
and the 10-year old son of Mr..
McCabe ignited the straw in order
to get it out of the way. The fire
spread to the building and in few
seconds it was a mass Of flames.
Mrs. McCabe rushed from the
house to the shed and found her
boy on the interior endeavoring to
save some of the implements. He
was surrounded by flames and did
not heed his mothers repeated
calls to come out. She at last ran
in and pulled him forth just in
time to save his life. The fire de-
stroyed a new disc harrow, sever al
plows and farm tools. Loss about
500; no insurance.

DEEMED FOR THE BEST.
Capt. Humphrey Was Taken to the
Asylum for Treatment.

East Oregonian: The removal
of Capt. N, B. Humphrey to the
asylum at Salem was decided up
on by his friends and BROTH
er, George Humphrey, who ar
rived Thursday evening from Port
land. The unfortunate captain
has been mentally unbalanced
nearly all the time since his in
jury, the trouble being as
cribed to the effect of alcoholism
and the shock resulting from the
accident and amputation. 1t was
thought that he could receive bet
ter care and treatment at the hos
pital than anywhere else. Physi-
cally he is sound, being as strong
as could possibly be expected, and
the limb is steadily healing. The
disease of mind only interferes
with his recovery.
This morning the patient was
examined by Drs. F. w. Vincent
and G. ]. Smith in the presence of
the deputy district attorney, and
county Judge committed him to the
asylum. The commitment states
that on July 9th Capt. Humphrey
had his foot run over by a passen-
ger train, and it amputated at 4
p. m. that day. On the the 9th he
became violently insane, necess-
itating constant attendance by two
men to keep him in bed. During
this time he did not sleep. After
three days he became partially
rational. Then he relapsed into
his present condition. At no time
since amputation had his temper
ature been over 993.
The captain will be taken below
on this evenings train. The hope
goes with him ffom many hearts
that his mind, strong and cultured
enough to have made him, with its
proper use, one of the country's
foremost men, will in due time be
restored to him. Genial, kindly,
largehearted, he made friends in
Vulnerable whose sympathy goes
out to him in his distress. cap
is only ffty-two years old, and
has yet a place in the world.

FRANCE AND RUSSIA.
Hatred of the Gar AID His Men Crops Out
in Berlin.

Berlin. October 30.-The semi-oficial
newspapers have not yet been instructed
how to treat the Czar's frank words to
President Carnot concerning the bonds of
friendship between France and Russia.
Consequently most of the editors have
neglected to comment on the Cars let
ter. The official disposition to accept
Russia's former assurances of her desire
for an entente with Germany has van
ished, however, and the old hatred of the
Gar and his men rules in the government
offices. The, Norddeutsche Allgemeine
Zeitung already is denouncing the cant
ofthe French and Russians about peace,
despite their common rejoicing in obtain
ing as allies the strength necessary to
menace German unity.
The most Significant sign that the anti
Russian campaign is about to be renewed
officially is the disappearance of reports
that Russian troops are being pushed up
to the frontier, that French magazine
rifles are being distributed rapidly in the
army, and that the Black Sea and Baltic
fleets of Russia are to be increased great
ly in the near future Austrian military
newspapers report the erection of inn
mense new barracks and provision maya
Uses on Russia's western frontier, and
she construction of a strategic railway
fsom st. Petersburg to Kiev. Military
authorities agree, however, that the
Ruasias, troops will require years drill
IN Ehe use of their new rifles, and that,
therefore, peace is assured for tae present
unless the Franco-Russian plans involve
an attack upon England previous to any
quarrel with the triple alliance.

FUNERAL OF THE FAIR.


The Governor was in his private once e

to see the Governor, and that the G 10Y :

stranger muttered something ABOUT the
office being Of most Important nature:
him, and reluctantly he left the ONCE.
When seen today, Mr.. Ford SAID:
"The man did not tell me his name.
In fact, l did not think him OF sufficient
Importance to ask it,. / had heard OF
Mayor Harrison's assassination, and was

slightest idea what his object was in
trying to secure an audience with the
Governor. Perhaps he intended to kill
him, who knowsfD
The fact that Prendergast tried to meet
the Governor is the subject OF much
comment. Some people. think that he
had anarchistic tendencies. The prisoner
when asked if he had attempted to meet
the Governor refused to speak. It is GER
tain that the man did not see Altgeld.

RIoTlNa IN PERU.
The Streets of Lima Filled by Crowd of
Desperate Men.

New York, October 30-A special ca
BILE to the Herald from Lima, Peru, says
The rioting here still goes ON unsup-
pressed by the police. A group of CAGE
rists went through the various streets of
the city Friday night, shouting, Long
live Caceres and death to Congress, -
abusing persons whom they met and fir
ing off their revolvers. The police did
not interfere with these isy demonstra-
tons in any way. Another gang at
tackled the Office of the newspaper Co.
mercio, which is opposed to Caceres,
and began shooting through the doors
and windows at the employees. A boy
connected with the newspaper was shot
while attempting to close the street door,
When the editors of the Concrete tele-
phoned to the police station demanding
protection from the mob, the chief of po-
lice sent a few cavalrymen, who dis
persed the lawless Cacerists. Subse-
quently Caceres himself sent his secreta-
ry to the ministers of the interior and of
justice to express his regret for and dis
approval of the illegal action taken by
his followers. To many persons this ri
citing was not unexpected SO that by 2
o'clock Friday afternoon most of the
stores in the city were closed, and the
squares were occupied by squads of cav
airy. Free passage was only permitted
to foreigners. Mayor Rovoredo, who is
alleged to be the chief cause of all the
trouble. had sent out word summoning
the laboring classes to an exhibition on
the principal square of the city. The
gathering crowd was met by the cavalry
who turned them back from the square
and would not allow them to collect
there. Then the Cacerists assembled in
considerable numbers before the palace,
and demanded an audience of President
Burmedez. They also shouted for dis
solution OF Cnngress and for new cleo
ton. General Sallix, with force of
cavalry, promptly dispersed this mob;
the state of alarm caused by these scenes
of riot still continues. 1t is rumored
that Ecuador has withdrawn her ambas-
sador from PerI owing to the dispute
over the international boundary CUES

vestigation. The schooner was owned
principally by Captain John Robinson of

Eerliu's New "CSaYOtte Lanciars.

Berlin, October 80 Eight members of
the Royal Playhouse company gave
private performance of new dance OF,
the Opera House stage last Friday for the
exclusive benefit of Emperor William.
The only person present with the Eln-
pcror was Adjt. Hoch berg.
The dance is something like IA modern
lied gayotte. 1t is danced by four couples,
and the figures are taken from the ordi-
nary quadrille, lanciers and contredance.
The dancers walk with gavotte step.
The Emperor was charmed with the per-
formance, and ordered that the dance be
introduced at court under the name of
"gavotte lanciers," to replace the old
court quadr:lle. The gavotte lanciers
is expected, therefore, to be the most
popular dance in Bertha during the
coming season.

Iish an Utopia for Negroes.
Washington, October 3o.-A committee
appointed by convention of negro law
yers. recently held in Chattanooga, have
arrived in Washington to urge upon Con-
gress the recommendation of the con-
vention, in case the government does not
protect the negro, that 81 100000, 900 be
appropriated with which the colored
people of this country may colonize. No
particular locality for their promised
land has been selected by the colored
lawyers, but they seem to favor some
part of South or Central America.
The committee ran across their first
obstruction in the person Of the only
member of Congress of their race, Mr..
Murray of the seventh South Carolina
district. Congressman Murray will pre-
sent the memorial to the House, as he
has been requested to do so. but he is
very strongly opposed to the scheme.
They wrote to me some time ago ask
ing what should be the keynote of the
convention" said the colored member,
II told them that if the convention could
map out some plan by which the educa-
ton of the colored people, especially
those i'll the South, could be directed to
making them advance in business to
make power and influence for their own
race, their work would be handed down
with as much admiration as that of the
parliament which gave Magma Charta or
the Continental Congress which gave the
Declaration of Independence.
eff on the other hand, they are to get
up some utopian scheme which would
create false hopes in the minds O.. the
simple masses so poorly prepared to an
igrate anywhere, which would ba bc ind
to meet with failure and bnng misery
like other schemes which have failed,
they would be remembered with execra-
