Origin of the Coast Indians.

In 1876 large canoe was sent to the
Centennial exposition from tie north
west coast. This canoe was made after
the pattern of japanese junk, of one
piece of timber. Again the carving fol-
lowed the japanese skill and design.
A lot of japanese were brought over
to work in one of the mills here, and at
the sight of them the Indians here said,

Senator Voorhees, Takes snap Judgment
on the Silver Men-An Interesting Day.
WASHINGTON. D. O., Sept e.-In the
senate to-day Mr.. Voorhees, pursued
certain parliamentary tactics which
greatly worried the opponents Of re-
peal. He first stated that for the pres
ent he would not press his resolution
changing the hour Of meeting of the
senate from 12 to II o'clock. This gave
the silver men the impression that the
chairman of the finance committee, in
view Of the fact that last night the mo-
tion to proceed to the consideration Of
executive session had been carried not
withstanding the earnest opposition. Of
the friends Of repeal, was indisposed to
test the sense of the senate on his resol-
utiou. In the course of q half hour,
within less than ten minutes Of the
time when the repeal bill be taken up,
and this motion was carried by vote
Of IS to 81. Mr.. Voorhees, increased the
confusion among the ranks OF the silver
men by moving an executive session,
allowing Mr.. Stewart, who was speak.
ing at the time to resume floor in the
morning, and the motion was carried.
The most important bill introduced
to-day was that by Senator Cullom,
Rep, OF Illinois, to repeal all laws Great.
ing or providing for the maintenance OF
the sinking fund.
When the resolution of Mr.. Morgan,
DEM, of Alabama, providing for joint
select committee was laid before the
senate, Mr.. Voorhees, gave notice that
he would ask, and if necessary move,
that II be referred to the finance COM
mittee. A sharp debate occurred be-
tween Mr.. Voorhees, and Mr.. Morgan
as to the right OF the latter TO occupy
the floor. Mr.. Morgan asked II the rules
Of the senate had been changed during
his absence and when informed by the
chair that had not, said he, was in or.
der and proceeded to address the sem
ate in support OF his resolution.
Senator Morgan said he had never
recognized Mr.. Sherman as the leader Of
the Democratic party. There were
some Democrats with whom he associ-
ated in preference to MIR. Sherman.
Allen G. Thurman was one; he was
always free coinage Democrat when

longer. To-day the bodies were fully

town Of Newburgh, about a mile west OF
It was developed that Mrs. Halliday,
the alleged murderess, had recently
made three visits to the McQuillan
home, the first OF which was about ten
DAYS ago. She represented that she
came from Mr.. Smith, Of Newburgh,
and introduced herself as Mrs. Smith.
She said she lived in Walden, and was
looking for some one to assist in house
cleaning and would need them about
two weeks. She said she. had heard
Mrs. McQuilian had daughter who
worked out, and wanted her to come

They-went with her at different times,

A steamer Seized and Her Passengers and

Among Them-The Booty Secured.
Verona, B. O., Sept. e.-Particulars
Of the seizure Of q steamer and the
massacre of the passengers and creWby
Chinese pirates have been received by
the steamship Empress Of. China. The
steamer was the private property Of the
Chinese consul at Penang, twenty.four
men aboard were murdered aud fifteen
seriously injured and $50, coo fell into
the hands ofthe pirates A Mr.. Alex
ander, Of Brooklyn, was among tho
killed. Two Chinese and two American
women were carried of by the pirates.
Eighteen passengers, who escaped the
murderous assaults Of the pirates over.
crowded oneof the ships boats aud
were drowned.
The steamer left Telock Sentative
July 81, at 5 o'clock, and three hours
later one Of agang Of twelve Achenese,
who embarked as passengers, asked the
man at the wheel If they were then
passing eimpang 0lim. Receiving an
affirmative answer the Achenese in
Btantly cut the helmsman down, and

THE PENSION QUESTION.

THE PENSION QUESTION:
The commander devoted much Of his
report to the subject Of pensions. He
said:
Recently We find scores Of worthy
veterans, some above the age Of three
score and ten and four score years,
many suffering from wounds received
on the battlefield, or disease incurred
while in the service Of their country,
other disabilities which are covered by
law, cut of from the pension roll with.
out first making proper investigation.
During the past three years some Of
those who were not friends Of our coun-
try during that mighty contest from
1861 to 1865 have taken every means
within their power to create public
sediment against pension laws and
pensioners. Unwarranted statements
are made against the pension roll. No
facts are advanced to snbstantiste the
statements made. The pension laws OF
our county affect the interests OF vet
erans Of various wars. but some how
this indiscriminate taking away OF PEN
sions affects only those who served in
the war against treason and rebellion.
The commander recommended that
the major part Of pension money Tor
inmates of soldiers homes be paid to
the wives or other dependents OF such
soldiers. A
'iThe g. A. R. does not favor any sys.
tenn that permits those whose loyalty
was never justly questioned to pass
upon the merits Of veterans who served
honorably in the Union army or which
takes away or cancels the payment OF a
pension lawfully granted, without first
investigating the case and permitting
the pensioner to be heard, which
should be at the expense OF the
government which demands the add:
tional proof. In such cases, it would
be but Justice to inform the suspended
pensioner what further steps the gov.
ernment demands in the premises. No
pension should be cancelled until the
government has proved 1t fraudulent or
undeserying. Action should be taken
to secure the reinstatement OF all wor'
thy veterans who have been dropped or
suspended from the pension roll.
A letter was received by the ensamp-
ment from Pittsburgh, enclosing acopy
of the resolutions adopted by the
chamber of commerce in that city, in
yiting the encampment there next
year. Pittsburgh Is so far the only
city making much Of q fight for 1t.
