The Railroad Blockade.

In the vicinity OF La Grande bridge on
the Union Pacific washed out some days
since and this has delayed trains during the
past week. For two days no eastern mail
has been received at this postotise, and all
west bound trains have been held at Baker
City. On the Spokane branch. via Pendle-
ton, trains come throngn daily; but these do
not furnish connection with the east. To
make matters worse, this morning near
Bonne lille, slile came down from the
mountain, washing away the bridge and
track. This occurred at the same place that
it did last fall, when communication be-
tween this city aud Portland was Stopped
for three days. Whether. ss some bslieve,
this is a geYser that slumbers and sleeps
during summer and winter, and wakes in
spring and fall to wreak Its vengeance on the
railroad and surrounding country, or simply
an overflow Of lake on the mountain side,
has not been definitely deternined; but the
fact Is incontroyertiblc that it lgeyser. ever
flow or whatever It is) caused considerable
damage to the rolling stock Of the company
last fall and is delaying communication at
the present time. Orders have been re-
celved In this city to hold all trainS until
the obstruclions are removed. and when
that will be cannot be ascertained. To sup
plemept this item it may be well to state
that the Regulator still makes daily trips
and connects with the Ddlles 0ty at the
Lower Cascades for Portland direct. God
made the river, II man the railroad.

A Heroic Aot.

Yesterday morning the heroic act of Geo.
E Richardson, laborer employed 10 hop
yard, saved the Southern Pacific from a
frightful wreck midway between Drain and
Youcalla. He started about 2 o'clock
Thursday night to walk from Dram to Rose
burg, and at the south end of trestie
short distance from the former place found
a rail which had been taken from the track
for the evident purpose Of derailing the
train. While standing and debating what
he should do he was approached by men
from behind and in front, struck on the head
by them, stabbed two or three times, and
thrown down an embankment in an uncon-
scious condition. When he recovered
Consciousness he crawled up the bank by
almost superhuman efferts. managed to drag
himself along the track until he saw the
headlight Of the approaching engine, and
then burnt his handkerchief to give warning
of the danger. When the train stopped the
man was picked up in an exhausted condi-
tion, and bleeding profusely from several
ugly wounds. On examining the place, .
rail was found diagonally across the track.
and this would have hurled the train down
an embankment distance of thirtY-five feet.
which would have undoubtedly resulted in
the death of mauy if not all of the passen-
gers. The injured man was taken care Of,
sent to the Good Samaritan hospital ia
Portland, and purse of $50 given him by
the passengers, who were saved'by his hero.

at work as usual. Ten dead have been
recovered 1t is not definitely known
whether any more are in the mine. which
is burning fercely, with momentary dan
ger of an explosion. Attempts were made
TO fight the fire, but those who started to
do so were compelled to flee for their
lives. The 10 men who lost their lives
were at work nearly 100 feet above where
the fire broke out Through the airway
the smoke poured, suffocating the unfor-
tunates like rats In trap. Almost the
entire town gathered in the vicinity of
the burning mine. The scenes were most
distressing. About midday rescuing
party went down the shaft. When they
had proceeded short distance, under
constant danger of suffocatlon. they came
across the bodies of two men locked in
each others arms. Further on the bod
les of eight more men were found, max
ing 10 dead in ALL The bodies were re-.

where most pathetic scenes were wit
messed. Only two mules were gotten out
alive. There are 80 dead in the mine.

Domesticated sheep were brought to this
country from one of the Canary Islands by
Columbus on the second voyage. These
sheep were the proeenitors of the great
herds in Mexico. New Mexico, Utah and
Texas; in 1870 there were 1900 900 sheep
In NueYa Leon, Mexico. Spanish sheep
were introduced into California and in
creased very rapidly under the care of the
missions. Sheep were furnished the Vir-
gina colonists in 1909 aud the same kind
were taken to Maryland when it was first
settled. The Carolinas also received theirs
at an early date in their history, and these
we're q superior quality. These animals
were brought to New York in 1925; to New
Jersey and Delaware in 1884; to Pennsyl-

The bodies of the SIX persons taken from

Last night 1875 persons went to sleep in
the buildings, and while many jumped
from the second and third story windows,
it is feared many others perls he'd in the
flames. II was after o'clock before the
first body was found. 1t was an unrec-
ognizabie charred mass of flesh. rhe
second was found soon after In similar
condition. The inmates of the Higgins

fire" Men and women rushed from
their rooms into the halls, already filled
with smoke and flames, and the general
cry was. Jump from the windows and
save yourselves" Many did so, bnt the
jump was bad one to risk. From the
upper story it was 80 feet on the west
side, with plank roadway on which to
land. On the east side there was creek,
which made the jump 40 feet. Several
persons made the jump for life into the
stream and were rescued.

The Sandwich Islands.


WASHINGTON, March 31-It the reve-
nue. cutter Rush, on her trip from Sac
Francisco to Honolulu, has made the Or.
dinary rate of speed, Blount, President
Cleveland's special commissioner, is now
on the Hawaiian islands, and his investi-
cation into the condition of affairs there
has begun. A story said to have been
brought to San Francisco oy the United
States ship Alliance that japan was bar
boring designs upon the islands in case
the United States should conclude not to
take possession or control of them, has
made little impression here. At the Jap
enese legation it was said for Minister
Taneno, in response to Inquiries, that the
legation had no information whatever
upon the subject. In the absence OF any
communication from the government or
from the Japanese consul at Honolulu,
any expression of opinion upon the prob
abilities of the situation respecting Ja-
pan and Hawaii were withheld by the
minister. The story brought by the a.
lance said the officers of the japanese
warship in the harbor of Honolulu
seemed to be acting under the influence
ofthe British representatives there. This
much of the tale is corroborative of the
statements contained in letter from a
member of the provisional government
to one of the annexation commissioners
in Washington, heretofore mentioned In
these dispatches. That official wrote that
since Wodehouse, the British commits
sioner, had seat his formal note of recog-
milton to the provisional government AS
the de fscto government, he had avoided
any intercourse or communication with
the members, and up to time the letter
was written the officers of the warship,
who were in constant association with
the British officials, had failed to pay
the ordinary and customary visits OF
courtesy to the members of the govern
ment.

o'clock, found medicine bottle washed
on the bank of the river near the COM
pany's wharfboat, with broken cork in
the mouth and the following note on the
inside:
APRIL 8, 1898.
Into sOtose hands this might fall into.
Will know that l Jas. A. Jones, fish
erman, while on trip down the Columbia
in old skif when a heavy wind Is blow
ing and my boat Is leaking and have lost
both oars and am at the mercy of God.
When let go this bottle will be in the
water and can't swim. So God help me.
Yours &c,
J. A. JONES.
No place is given where this was writ
ten, and as no such man is known In this
vicinity it is presumed that the accident
happened somewhere east Of this city.
This will account for the boat which was
found yesterday, bottom p,hoating down
the river. Undoubtedly the poor fellow
was drowned, and the body may be found
IN few days floating in the river.
