HIS Way or Nothing:

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2-Carllsle has con-
suited again with President Cleveland
on the compromise terms, but with no
satisfactory results, says a morning pa
per. 1t is understood the reply he has
authorized Carlisle to give the advocates
of compromise is, that he will listen to no
compromise involving the further pur>
chase of silver until supreme effort has
been made by the friends of uncOndi-
tional repeal to avail themselves of their
conceded strength as a majority of the
senate to force vote. If the effort fails,
as the less of two evils. The silver SEN
ators assert that they are certain OF sup
port at the critical moment.
Senators who have been the most ac-
tive in trying to effect a compromise on
the repeal bill do not express themselves
as discouraged by the outlook this morn
ing. They say nothing is likely to trans.
pire in that direction during the present
week, but express the opinion that the
beginning of next week will see change
In the situation, by which time the SEN
ate will be more thoroughly impressed
with the futllity OF the effort to pass the
pending bill in its present shape. and
that this further delay will have the gen.
eral effect of convincing the senators of
the lmpossibility OF any mans getting
just what he may want. The extreme
men Of both sides are still holding out
stiff1y, however, and if there is any i'm
provement of the situation it does not
appear on the surface.

DO Net Want Peers.

LONDON, Sept. 30.-The sgitatlon
against the house of lords has abated !.
This is due partly to Mr.. Gladstone's
cautious attitude toward the subject,
partly to the absence during the holidays
of the liberal and radicalm embers of the
house of commons. The pause in barlia-.
mentary activity las given the conserva~
tives time to collect themselves and make
a show. OF course, home rule is dead
forever, say The tory newspapers. The
liberal leaders may rave against the up-
per house, but on sober second thought
they dare not menace its existence or
countenance national movement to end
it. The assurance with which the tory
organs, like the Times and the Standard,
reiterate these assertions, is not. however,
we'll founded. Impending developments
are preparing within the great liberal or
ganizations throughout the country to
shatter this confidence. The qulescence
of the liberals and radicals Is merely on
the surface. Since Mr.. Gladstone made
his speech, the executive committee of
the national liberal federation have re-
ceIved by letter, telegram and word of
mouth thousands of remonstrances against
delaying or abating the agitation against
the peers. Virtually all the provincial
branches of the federation have made
such remcnstrances, and the executive
consequently has decided to
call special conference to consider the
question before the regular congress OF
the organization.

TELEGRAPHIO NEWS.
Have struck n Snas.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30-The leading
Democratic senators, who have been try
ing for the last 4s hours to arrange the
terms of an acceptable compromise on the
silver question, encountered very de-
termined obstacle today when they ap'
preached the Republican anti-silver
men. who thus far have been acting with
the Democratic repeal forces. The Re-
publicans simply declare there Is no
common ground upon which they could
act with the Democrats longer if uncon-
dltioDal repeal is to be abandoned. When
it came TO negotiating for terms with sill
yer, they announced their intention by
fiocking by themselves, and declared
they were ready to fight compromise to
the finish. This bellicose attitude of the
Republicans disheartned the Democratic
repeallers and compelled the compromis-
ers to halt temporarily at least. Sena-
tor Voorhees, is no way connected with
the compromise movement. He said to-
day that he had no reason to despair of
the passage OF the repeal bill in its origi
nal form, and thought it quite ridiculous
to conclude that In body of S5 men a
majority of 15 could not secure vote
upon any given proposition. He said he
felt convinced the majority could hold
out as long as the minority. and then ad
ded: If we cannot pass the bill this fall
we can continue the effort during the
winter. and if we do not conclude The
work in the fall. winter and spring we can
like Grant, fight it out on that line if 1t
takes all summer If l could force q
vote, should of course do so, but there
is no rule whereby can do that. am
sufficient persistence, we will get it in
time"

BARGE Accident,

Historian: The steamer Cascades reached
Astoria yesterday morning with only one
barge load of stone. She started from up
river with two, but LETT the other beached
at Mount Coffin with two holes in her
bottom and everything movable washed
from her decks. Just after passing Ranler
No. barge struck a snag and immedi-
ately began to fill with water. In about
two minutes she careened over, upsetting
her whole load of granite, and at the same
time the water burst through her sides
carrying away everything above deck in
cluding all the personal property of the
captain of the barge. As soon as the
stone had been dumped off, she recovered
herself with jerk, tearing away the port
guards of the Cascades and bringing about
a scene of confusion generally. The barge
was finally hauled up alongside the
steamer and towed to point on the
beach near Mount Coffin.

Thu 0hernkaa Strin.

Mr.. W. L. Gibson, sheep-owner OF
Birch creek, Umatllla county, has returned
to Pendleton from the Cherokee strip,
where he witnessed the grand rush for land
An East Oregonian reporter, thus speaks of
affairs IN that portion of the country: "Mr.
Gibson saw more people dead and MANNED
than he ever saw before or ever expects to
see again. Some had been hung, some
stabbed, some shot, some burned to death
in prairie fires, and the wounded were those
who had suffered in the rush. 1t was an
exciting time, and the wonder is that there
were not more fatalities. Boomers on the
trains risked life and limb by hanging to
the cars in every shape possible. Water
enough to fill canteen sold for ten cents,
and 1t cost from fifteen to twenty fiye cents
to water horse. Provisions were of course
scarce and high. Mr.. Gibson. who has
been absent four weeks, is satisfied with
his experience in the "madding tbrong,"
and is glad to return to the peace and quiet
of Birch creek"

IN MEMORIAM.

Lines IN memoriam of Andrew Clemenc
Speich,nger, who departed this life Septem
ber 25, 1898:
This lovely bud, so young, SO fair,
Called hence by early doom
just came to show how sweet flower
Iu paradise could bloom.
Ere sin could harm, or sorrow fade,
Death came with friendly care;
The opening bud to heaven conveyed,
And bade it blossom there.
Sleep on in thy beauty.
Thou sweet angel child!
By sorrow unblighted;
By sin undefiled.
Like the dove to the ark
Thou hast flown to thy rest;
From the wild sea of strife
To the home of the blest!
All will be bright for him
Now, nothing to cause him pain.
U! Clemence, our darling child!
How could we wish you here again?

The Rebels story.

LONDON, Oct. "A private cablegram
announces that the rebel feet at Rio
Janeiro ombalde that city all day yes
terday, resulting in further damage TO
the city and great loss of life. Details
as tc the amount of damage and the
number of killed ashore and afoat are
not given; but it is presumed from the
fact that firing was kept up all day the
loss must have been considerable on both
sides. The cablegram adds that famine

The lates. accident from careless hand
ling of pistol comes from Pendleton, and
this Is from the East Oregonian: 1t was Joe
Parr instead of Henry Parr who accident
ally shot himself Friday at the Parr home
above the agency. Joe was following out
his idea of amusement by twirling pistol
on his finger, and as frequently happens in
such cases. it exploded, causing him con-
siderable surprise and painful regrets. The
bullet entered the outside of his leg, some
six inches above the knee, and ranging
down and along the bone, lodged in the
muscles midway between the knee and
ankle. The wound is not necessarily
but the lesson should teach
Joseph that pistols are dangerous play
things, even for an expert to handle. Z

Biggs, and she resides in one of the eastern

and have handled grandchildren on their

first love, before fate welded them to other
mates. The bride-elect was to arrive Sat
urday last and the ceremony was to be per-
formed Sunday, but she failed to connect

brace of her "Jo." Suspense of that kind

MOB VIOLENCE IN THE SOUTH.

The uni leasoning folly of resorting
to mob violence for the punishment of
crime and for the supposed vindication
of the law, has found three striking
illustrations in the dreadful affairs of
the past few days in Alabama, Louis
lana and Virginia. Lynch law, as we
call it, is always frightful in any state
of society, says the San Francisco
Chronicle. But when coupled with
race antagonisms and hatrediit becomes
infinitely horrible, and all semblance
of justice disappears. Amid the rude
and unorganized civilization of the
early settlements of the country, there
may have been instances where the
administration of summary justice
was in degree warranted. But where
courts are established and where
crimes can he punished by due process
of law, there is never any excuse for
mob violence.
The instance at Pineapple, Ala, ap-
pears to have:been one Of the ordinary
cases of lynching of negroes. The
victim was put to death without trial
and possibly upon mere suspicion. His
friends were indignant and made
threats of violence. The whites at
tackled them, killing two and wounding
several. The circumstances was called
in the dispatches race war.
The affair in Louisiana was more
horrible. A justice of the peace above
New Orleans, where the black popula-
tion appears to be dense, was trying a
negro upon some petty charge. He
was probably desperate rascal, and
he attempted to make his escape. In
doing so he shot and killed the Judge
and wounded his son. The provocation
to pursue and lynch him was great, and
the citizens had overtaken and
killed him outright, since his crime
was open and red-handed, but little
complaint could have been made. He
was not caught, however, but three of
~, I,,ot othare, 1x,oro fo,aJ o,d Ialihor
ately hanged. There was no pretense
that they were guilty of aiding in the
murder of the justice of the peace.
Their murder was frightful and dis
graceful crime.
But the incident at Roanoke, Va,
was still moro dreadful and sanguinary.
The attempt to execute summary
vengeance upon negro prisoner who
was charged with having beaten and
ROBBED woman resulted in the death
of nine persons and the wounding of
twenty, all of whom were shot down
oy the local militia under command of
the mayor of the town. Subsequently
the mob rallied, caught and killed the
prisoner, who had been secreted by an
officer, and killed him. And it is re-
ported that the mayor and the militia
,ficers have fed the town.
These deeds of violence and blood
shed are disgrace to humanity and
20 American civilization. In the case
If the Roanoke prisoner there was no
excuse whatever for the first attempt
70 lynch him. So far as the account
which we have goes there were no eye
witnesses to the crime for which he
was arrested. He may not have been
,he man. In the vast crowd of 5000 !
persons gathered around the Jail there
was probably not one who knew of his
,wn knowledge that the negro was
guilty.
The terrible result of the assault |
,pon the Jail is frightful to contem-
,late, and yet it may prove salutary
esson to southern mobs.
