Brutal, affair a. pillar Rock.

ASTORIA, Or, May 10-Tonight Dan
Gagnan, a half-breed fisherman, was
brought down from Pillar Rock cannery
in small steamer with the upper por-
ton of his legs terribly torn and all the
muscles above the knees smashed to
pieces from charge of buckshot. He
was taken to st. Mary's hospital, where
DIR. Estes administered chloroform aud
did his best to alleviate the patients suf
ferings. This afternoon. Gagnan and
Nathan Pickernell, a son Of Captain
Pickernell, of this city, were disputind
on a wblskey scow anchored off Pillar
Rock about their relative merits as oars-
men One word led to another, and
Gagnan slapped Pickernell in the face.
Without saying anything, the latter
jumped into skiff, got shotgun from
his mothers house ON the beach and re
turned. Several onlookers, who saw his
intention, took Gagnan into the interior
OF the scow, but, instead of staying there.
he ran out and attempted to get hold of
the gun. Pickernell waited till he was
within two feet of the gun and then dis
charged both cartridges into him, burn
ing the flesh of bis legs with the powder
and inficting the injuries mentioned.
Gagnan fell, and Pickernell at once
loaded up with two moro cartridges to
complete his work, when the wounded
man was hauled over the side into fish
boat and pulled away by his friends.
Sheriff Smith has warrant out for Pick
ernell's arrest. Gsgnan is in bad way,
and there is every probability of his
being killed by blood-poisoning, as sew
eral fish stained remnants of his rubber
boots, besides the wsddlng of the cart
ridges and shot, entered his limbs.

The German reichstag has been dis
solved by Premier Caprivi because it re-
fused to pass the army bill, and ar
intensely exciting political campaign is
expected. 1t is claimed by the gov
erpment that the army should attain
higher state of profcientcy than at
present, for the protection of the en-
pire, and this is opposed by the liberal
members. If Germany places herself
on a better war footing, every nation
in Europe must do the same. and for
this reason the approaching election
will be watched with the greatest in
terest. Democracy is growing, even in
the German empire, and the people
must be whipped into line before they
will support heavier taxation for an
increase i'll the standing army; but
Caprivi owns the reichstag, and he will
send the members home as often as
they refuse to do his bidding.

Pension Frauds.

WASHINGTON, May 10-The pension
department has unearthed what appears
to be series of gross pension frauds by
W. X. Drewey, a pension attorney, of
Norfolk, Va, who is now under arrest
A year ago he was discovered in frauds
and debarred from practice IN pension
cases. An Investigation by the present
administration shows he had l66 pen
sions granted. mostly to illiterate me-
groes, and that 9S per cent of them were
fraudulent, the notary's name and seal
beng forged. The extent of these frauds
is better appreciated when 1t is stated
that all pensions secured carried arrears
The matter will come up In the United
States court at Norfolk Monday. The
frauds will probably reach 100000.

The situation LIN Cuha.

New YORK, May 10-The news that
came on the last Havana mail, via Tam
pa, was not altogether satisfactory to the
revolutionists. They now admit that the
revolt of the young SartorIus brothers was
premature and its influence not the best
for the cause. The fact that the Sartorius
brothers had no reputation among the
patriot party did not encourage those in
terested in the cause to join them. The
autonomists held back, when revolution
under tried and eexperienced leaders
would have carried the waveripg ele-
ments into the patriot ranks. The tone
of the papers indicates very unsettled
and very unsatisfactory state of affairs in
the eastern end of the island, and be-
tween the lines of these semi. official
utterances there is an ill-concealed an
xiety. Meantime the revolutionary
leaders here preserve confidence and
speak hopefully for the future. Prepar-
atoms are now making for public meet
ing of American sympathizers with the
Cuban cause, to be held in Cooper Union.

Wall street is recovering f

Wall street is recovering from its
recent furry of excitement over stocks,
and is resuming its normal condition.
The export of gold has been SO enor-
nous lately that the great money CEN
ters began to shake and tremole, and
threatened a terrible collapse. But
the danger has subsidized for the pres
ent, and confidence is again restored.
The end is not yet, and if business is
not depressed all over the country for
some time to come by reason of this
unsettled condition of the money mar
ket it will be very fortunate. For
elgners will cash their securities when
eyer the question is being agitated of
changing our standard of values. The
United States cannot introduce BIZ
metallism into the commerce of the
world without the concurrence of other
nations, and the silver question should
be let alone.

President Cleveland says applica-
tions for Office have been "bewlldering
in volume, perplexing and exhaustlng
in iteration, and impossible of re-
membrane" and he desires not to be
troubled by these in the future. 1t
would appear from this remark that
the chief executive of 65,000,OOO peo-
pie is becoming very tired, and needs
a rest. If a change in the civil SER
vice must happen every time there is
president elected of different politi
cal affiliations from the former incuu-
bent, there should be committees ap-
pointed to do the business. The pres.
ident of the United States has suffi-
cient work to do in the welehty re-
sponsibilities of his office without using
his time to reward political favorites
of whom he never heard. "Public
office is a public trust"

rhe Revolution in Honduras.

NEW ORLEANS, May 10-The steamer
Breakaoater arrived Monday night from
Puerto Cortez, Spanish Honduras, and
her officers confirm the previous rumor
of the collapse of the revolution of Poly
carpo Bonilla. 1t was learned that the
final battle, which virtually settled the
conflict, occurred last Thursday, May 4.
at Guebrabotizo, small town some>60
miles from Yora. The town and state of
Yora have all the while been the strong
hold of the rebels. most of the fighting
being confined to that state and the ad
joining one of OrlaLchio. In this en-
gsgement at Guebrabotizo the govern
ment forces outnumbered the rebels, and
10y stealing upon them unawares COM
pletely routed them, not only capturing
all their supplies, but killing a number
of them and capturing the rest. Only
few remained to convey the news to their
companions at Yora. Immediately after
the battle BonIlla disappeared in the in
terror mountains, leaving the bulk of his
few remaining forces at Yora in com
parallvely unprotected condition.

The complaints against the manage

The complaints against the manage
ment of the worlds fair in Chicago are
widespread, and no doubt founded on
facts. 1t seems to be nothing more or
less than a means of shameful extor-
tion-furnished those on the grounds
from the time one enters the gates
until ne leaves, and, while the Amer
lean people may delight in being hum
bugged, they will not stand anything
in the shape of excessive charges.
Benches, which were intended for Wis.,
itors, have been removed, and the
weary are forced to psy for the prlvi-
lege of sitting down. There is an
attempt being made to stop exhibitors

tuitous distribution of fruit, it being
claimed that this will lnjure the sales

The Nicaragna Outbreak.

San JUAN, May 10-The revolution
against the power OF President Sacasa is
rapidly gaining. The reVolutionists have
taken possession OF this port, and control
most of the country between here and
Granada. They are rapidly gathering
arms, enlistlng troops and collecting
money. Their army is gaming reinforce.
ments daily. Many of the leading mer-
chants have openly declared their sym
pathy for the revolutionary cause.
Among the laborDg classes great cnthu-
siasm is shown. 1t is quite evident that
the outbreak is the most mysterious
which has taken place IN Nicaragua for
many years. The war may last for some
time, and it promises to be bloody one.

The Review Of Reviesos for May has

The Reuie,o Of Reviea0s for May has
"a synopsis of Eugene Richter's book
on Nationalism, which Is far different
from the picture drawn by Edward
Bellamy. Richter's triumph OF social
ism is nothing to delight the most ar
dent democrat, and yet no one can
deny that it is contrary to the prac-
tIcal test of the ideas of socialists now
advocated in Europe and this country.
He exempts England and the United
States from the rule of social democ-
racy, and these are the countries to
which those citizens who suffer from
the oppression of anarchy in Germany
emigrate for redress. The ideas of
the great German parliamentarlan
should be taken in contrast to the ar
bitrary sway of Emperor William, as
the one is radically opposed to the
other, and the happy medium will be
considered that most conducive to the
best interests of the human race
The community of goods and
labor, the separation of families
into nurseries for children and hospi-
tails for the aged and infrm, with the
attractions of home and all that clus-
terra around the hearthslone thrown to
the winds, is gloomy picture. After
reading what nationalism or socialism
would eventually lead to, one will feel
satisfied with governments as they
now exist, and will not attempt to
whlrl society into the vortex which
yawns beyond the present systems.

THE CHINESE.

The Chinese question is again
brough. into prominence by the cases
now before the Z. S. supreme court
testing the constitutionality of the
Geary act. These are brought by ap-
peals from the judgment of the United
States circuit court for the southern
district of New York, and a writ of
habeas corpus is asked for Fong Yue
Ling, Wong Quon and Lee Joe.
Able counsel have been employ ed by
the Chinese, and in the argument
Mongolian immigration and deporta-
tion will be fully and fairly discussed.
On the Pacific coast there Is no di-
vision of sentiment on this subject;
but in some eastern journals we notice
the same positions assumed as wheh
the question was first brought to the
attention of congress. Our eastern
neighbors appear to stand on high
moral grounds, and make no distinc-
ton between Cinnamon, Hungarians
or Italians except in favor of the for
mer. They state that Chinese are in
dustrious, economical and honest, and
to them these are princely virtues. OF
course, these views are not endorsed
by all; but articles in some of the
leading newspapers denounce oil
discriminating legislation as contrary
to the spirit of free institutions.
Actual observation of these Chinese
coolies leads one to view them in an
unfavorable light as regards necessary
sanitary precautions, and their exclu-
sion becomes desirable for the health
of the community. They live in
novels which are poorly ventilated, land
frequently have loathsome, incurable
diseases. For the morals of society
their presence is undesirable, TO say
nothing of the opium habit, which they
inculcate in unsuspecting boys, and, In
some cases, even girls. The act of
registration, as required by the Geary
law, may be unconstitutional; but the
absolute exclusion Of any more of these
Mongolians from our shores we believe
to be for he well-being of society in
general, and this Is not based on the
great damage they have, done wage
earners in all departments of unskilled
labor. Self protection is the first law
of nature, and to open wide the gates
of immigration to this unassimilative
class is to throw down every wall OF
defense against the evils mentioned.

HOW Repuls,ye

Is bad breath. and yet how many other
wise attractive. polite, and particular
people afflict their friends with the foul
odor of their breath. If there was no
remedy for this, it might excite our
sympathy, but as there is no need OF hav'
ing foul breath. it is an unpardonab'e
breach of good manners to obtrude such
al offence on good society.
Foul breath arises from disordered di
pestion which can be corrected by using
Sulphur Bitters, and the result will be a
pure, sweet breath.

THE VERDICT OF HITGRY.

A Democratic exchange says: ma
poleon Mckinley told the Home Mar
ket Club of Boston recently, that the
Republican party requires neither
eulogy nor apology The gentleman
is correct After q man is dead,
eulogies are bore and apologies
waste of energy" And then showing
its inability to produce single argu-
ment against the policies inaugurated
by the Republican party, repeats the
very old "ehestnut" about "admiring
its pluck and plying its judgment"
It Is undoubtedly the weakest attempt
we have ever read to answer the well
considered arguments of a great states
man like Gov. Mckinley, and, in the
mind of every intelligent reader, will
recoil upon itself. The record of the
party for more than thirty years is the
history of the country. 1t has been
the power that has overcome rebellion,
established finances on firm basis,
built up American industries and
made citizenship of the republic
source of pride in every nation on the
globe, and no stale, puerile jokes will
detract from its high standing among
our people and the respect it has won
in the world. The Republican or
ganlzation is not ashamed of
single act it has ever in
troduced in congress, and if the
Democracy consider the party corpse
it will awaken from its delusive dream
to find that Republican principles of
national administration are So firmly
impressed upon the institutions of the
country that Grover Cleveland and his
cabinet dare not institute any policy
to the contrary. All Republicans de-
sire test of the free trade Chicago
platform, knowing full well that it will
result in the discontinue of the De-
mocracy and the reinstatement of the |
party of Lincoln, Sumner, Sherman
and Grant in power. Gov. Mckinley
is true to the facts of history when he
says that the Republican party re-
quires neither eulogy nor apology"
The former is verified by happy,
united and prosperous nation, and the
latter is not necessary without the im-
possible condition of the facts of his
tory being successfully controverted.

ried merry party of excurslonists up the river
to Corvallis and return. Everything went well
until they started on the return trip, when in
boarding the steamer the jam was so great that
three young men were crowded off into the
river. Two of them were rescued, but the
third, Carey Crawford, one of Albany's most
popular young men, was washed down stream

MKINLEY IN BOSTON.


In declaring that the Republican
party needed neither eulogy nor apology
Governor Mckinley struck the keynote
of Republicanism. says the Inter Ocean,
What he said before the Home Mar
ket Club of Boston Wednesday even
ing is sure to be responsively accepted
by the epublicans of the country as
their sentiments, and that not because
the speaker is prime favorite with
people, but because the party is in nc
mood to lie do vn. 1t has no thought
of going out of business, nor of taking
any back track.
Thus far the Democratic administra
tion has simply doled out offices.
There has been nothing else In hand.
The nearest approach to anything ad-
ditionaI was the hauling down OF the
American flag 10 Hawaii and the sus-
pension of the Chinese registration law
pending litigation to test its validity.
These incidents were both open to
criticism as lacking due authority.
Mr.. Blount is not clothed With power
sufficient to warrant his flag order, and
the business of the executive is to exc
cute the law as found on the statute
books until such time, if ever, as the
supreme court may annul the act as
unconstitutional. These two features
of the two months record made by
tie new administration indicate loose
and unsound views of the limitations
of executive autority. But the real
test of the party in power is yet to
come, and it will mainly be at the
capitol end of Pennsylvania avenue.
Congress is the great power in this
country. During Mr.. Cleveland's first
term the two wings did not flop
together, and there was nothing done
outside of the routine. Now the
Democrats have everything their own
way, and cannot shirk the respensi-
bility of power.
As Gov. Mckinley well put it, the
Republicans of the country "stlll be-
lieve that protection is not robbery
and is not unconstitutional; that the
act of 1890 is not the eliminating
atrocity of class legislation; that re-
ciprocity is not sham, and that the
state banking currency is not the best
with which to measure the exchanges
of the people" On these three points
if the Democratic party is true to its
pledges, the issues will be sharply
drawn, nor will these be the only is
sues. Others are bound to arise, but
are not as clearly outlined IN advance.
The coin question is sure to. perplex
the party in power, and may prove the
most em barrassing question before .he
next congress. The Republican party,
if in power, would probably repeal the
Sherman silver act, but take good care
not to disturb bimetallism. The DEM
ocratic party is divided into two ex-
tremes on this subject, and it is i'm
possible to guess how they will finally
act. The Republicans can afford to
abide the result with equanimity.
