CANADIAN PACIFIC WILL KICK
Force which Win Last for
Two Years.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ESPECIALLY 1T
is currently reported that the Canadian
Pacific railway people will undoubtedly
use their powerful influence to get the
Canadian government to protest to the
British government, through their high
commissioner in London, Sir Charles
Upper, against the annexation of
Hawaii by the United States. Sir
Charles is well versed in the ways of
diplomacy, and is thoroughly conversant
with Canada's position in regard to
Hawaii. There is practically no trade
to speak of between British Columbia
and Hawaii at present, but if the pro-
posed line of steamers was put on and
Hawaii was not annexed by the United
States, there would without doubt be an
interchange of commodities between the
two countries. Besides, British Column
bia is making rapid strides forward,
and anything calculated to promote her
advancement will be carefully nursed,
just as anything having the opposite
tendency will be vigorously opposed.
In an interview with Ex-Secretary
Bayard yesterday he very willingly re-
viewed his past actions in reference to
the state department while he was at
its head. Then, in the course of several
hours conversation, Mr.. Bayard went
over the whole question, the CONNER
cial and political affiliations of the Ha-
waiian group with the United States,
and the practical tendency and effect of
the more important acts of the Cleve-
land administration in the prosecution
of the policy inaugurated by Secretary
Fish.
What was done becomes of great in
terest and Importance at this juncture as
an indication of what will be done in
the near future Mr.. Bayard has al
ways been impressed with the great i'm
portance to this country of the Hawaiian
| islands. That Mr.. Cleveland shares his
opinion is known by reference to the
subject in his message to congress, par
ticularly the message of 1885. With his
finger on the map of the Pacific, Mr..
Bayard pointed out the geographical re-
lation of those islands to our Pacific
coast.
Mr.. Bayard did not commit himself tc
the advocacy of annexation as definite
programme for the immediate future
but the whole drift of his statement en-
forces the view that annexation would
be the contamination of the political
arrangement entered into under the Fish
treaty of 1875 and followed by Cleve-
lands administration.

The oueen,s Hand.

Review: During Queen Victoria's
entire reign she has signed only one
death warrant. That was on account
of murder committed in the Isle of
Man prior to the passage of a law in
that province relieving the reigning
sovereign from the duty or signing such
documents. In this connection it may
not be unworthy of note that the gra-
cious majesty has stubbornly and per-
sistenly Withheld her signature from the
simple little paper necessary for the re-
lease from British bastile of dying
American woman, who is unjustly and
brutally incarcerated under charge for a
crime OF which all the powers for the
monarchy have been impotent to prove
her guilty.

THE RALEY BILL.
Another ETort should BE Made to Put
the Measure Through.

bAc measure AnEOuBns
The East oregonian.l
The people of Eastern Oregon want
and need an "open river Tt is due
them. They pay their share of taxes to
the state and get the least benefit of
any part of the state in return. All the
appropriations made by legislatures
heretofore have gone to increase the
value of private property west of the
Cascades and for the people of that sec
ton. Barely anything has ever been
returned to Eastern Oregon, and now
when the people ask for an appropria-
tion of less than half million for ''an
open river to the sea-" the combined
strength of the senators from the west
is thrown against it. We ask in solemn
earnestness Do these men know what
they have done and are doing? They
have robbed and are robbing a just
people of their rights for the benefit of
private interests, and still they have the
calm audacity to pose as representa-
tives of the people.
The Raley bill will undoubtedly come
up again at this session, and it should
unless the people of this section rise in
their might and say to the legislature:
'sPass the bill, we demand it, or suffer
the consequence
Senator Dolph says "the legislature of
Oregon should provide for the building
of portage road. The state is able to
build it, and Eastern Oregon should re-
ceive that much consideration. He was
of the opinion that Paul Mohr's road, if
built, would be of little benefit to East
ern Oregon. It would be but another
monopoly of the commerce of the river,
demanding all that could be got out of
it. Whether it was so intended or not.
Pennoyer's course, he said, was calcu-
lated to help Mohr to prevent legislative
action for the relief of Eastern Oregon" +"
! Senator Dolph sees plainly now the fu-
tility of waiting for the government 10
open the river. The state should do it,
and the people of this section should
pass Raley's portage railway bill which
was defeated in the senate, but which
was restored to the calender by vote of
reconsideration in its favor. There is
still hope for its passage If the people
will but act.
The republican party should not re-
ceive the vote from the people OF
Eastern Oregon in the future, as in the
past if the plea for ''an open river from
the Snake to the sea- is denied.

SEATTLE, Feb. Especial. THE
status of the weather on Puget sound
surpasses in severity and in the amount
of snow which has fallen, all former
records. For the past two days the
thermometer has registered zero, and at
times it has been as cold as three degrees
below zero. Snow began to fall one
week ago, and has continued almost
without stop, and at this date the snow
is still falling, and that very rapidly.
Yesterday the indications were that We
would have rain. but last night it began
showing again and from six O'Clock yes
terday evening until six o'clock this
morning about eight inches of snow fell
At this hour the snow measures about
two feet on the level. Business is al
most totally blocked, the stores are do
ing but little and the stree-car lines are
running at irregular intervals. The
snow has not yet interfered with the
mail, other than making it a few hours
late. Trans-continental trains are run
ming on about schedule time.
The great sensation of the hour is the
arrest of the widow of Henry L. Yesler,
Doctor ]. Eugene Jordan and Doctor II.
NJ. Van Buren, for conspiracy IN de-
stroying the will of Henry L. Yesler-
1t is purported that the will contains q
bequest to the city of Seattle amounting
to nearly million dollars, and that
Mr.. Yesler provided only in a scanty
way for his wife, who is young lady
only about twenty years of age. DIR.
Jordan and Dr.Van Buren, have been
bound over to appear before the superior
court, Mrs. Yesler has not yet had her
preliminary examination. 1t is charged
by DIR. Jordan that Mr.. j. D. Lowman,
nephew of the deceased millionaire, at
tempted poisoning Mr.. Yesler at differ
ent times, but failed in his purpose.
What the termination of this investiga-
ton will be cannot be forecast, because
the facts surrounding the entire case
are enyeloped in mystery.

Ambitious senators nearly swamped the
senate BY the introduction Of bills today
when IN opportunity was given to present
thsm. Dolph OF Oregon not only led in
the presentation Of bills. but he also I'm
6icted one q. his tiresoms speeches on the
senate in the discussion Of the financial
affairs. Senator Squire came up smiling
with several bills. They were measures
that had been previously before congress.
They are - follows:
Providing for an appropriation Of $780,
OO0 to connect lakes Union and Washing
ton with Puget sound.
Appropriation for new Federal buildings
at Seattle, and also at Spokane.
An amendment to an act to provide for
the time and place for holding terms OF
the United States courts In Washington.
An appropriation for public buildings at
Tacoma and several right-of-way bills
through Indian reservations.
Senator Vest introduced bill to q Il the
number of grains of gold and silver in
gold and silver coins Of the United States.
The silver dollar 10 to contain A644 grains
Of pure silver. or SIC grains Of standard
silver. Vest also offered joint resolu-
tion setting forth that tho American peo-
pie for tradition and interest favor BIZ
metallism; that it is the established
policy of the United States 70 maintain
parity between gold and silver. and that
IL is the duty of congress to speedily enact
such laws a. viii efiectually maintain
these objects.
The most significant bill introduced in
the senate, perhaps, was one by Senator
Hill, Of New York. The measure he pre-
sented today leaves no doubt of his posi-
tion on the financial issue. While repeal
ing the purchasing clauses Of the Sherman
act, il unqualihedly pledges the country
to bi.metaiiism. Senator Hills bin 10 -
follows:
"SEcrros 1. A bill to repeal certain
sections of the act Of July II, 1880. en-
titled. An act directing the purchase Of
silver bullion and the issue Of treasury
notes thereon, and for other purposes.
''Sec. 2 This repeating act, however, il
not to be construed rs abandoning hi-
metaliism, but Il il hereby declared that
the policy OF using both gold and silver as
the standard money Of the country shalt
be established, and TO the accomplishment
Of that end the efforts Of the government
shall be steadily and safely directed"
The Western people are felicitating
themselves tonight ON the position as
sumed by Senator Hill. They are pleased
that he should have % unqualifiediy
pledged himself to bi-metallism ~ TO in
dicate . willingness TO favor subsequent
legislation looking to the restoration Of
silver ~ money metal.
Senator DoIrh Of Oregon introduced
bill today appropriating $is3. 0O.00O for
Notifications and other sea coast defenses,
and 81, ,00l O0O for the establishment Of .
gun factory on the Pacific coast.
