WILL SEEK TO RECOVER MILLIONS.
Uncle Sam to Bring Suit Against Those
Who MIXED Pacific Roads.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-One of the most
important Incidents of the present con-
gress will be the introduction by one or
more influential eastern congressman of
a series of resolutions having for their
object the recovery by the United States
of the vast sums of money-estimate
at over 500, 900, ,00O-which for many
years have been withheld illegally by
the Pacific roads. These resolutions are
now being prepared, and will be pre-
sented without loss of time. Their chief
Importance just now hinges upon the
fact that they are intended not only to
secure from the railroads themselves
such funds and properties as may yet be
available, but will direct the attorney
general to sue the estates of Jay Gould,
Sidney Dillon, Frederick l.. Ames, Eli
sha Atkins, Mark Hopkins, Leland Stan
ford and Charles Crocker for the many
millions of dollars of which they, while
managing and directing the Union and
Central Pacific railroads we're, enabled
to absorb illegally. The plan of recov-
ering from the estates of the men who,
when alive, impoverished these great
railroads, is novel, but there are good
lawyers in congress who believe it can
be done and that nearly if not quite all
the money now due to the government
can be recouped in this way. The proofs
as to the methods employed by Gould
Dillon, Hopkins, Stanford, Crocker and
others TO enrich themselves while de
priving the government of its dues I.
indlsputable, and there is no doubt thai
it will stand in court of law.

excoRlATED THE FLOUR eARoNs

st. Paul Preacher Delivers Sermon
bordering on the Incendiary.
ST. PAUL, Dec. 12.-Speaking to a
mass meeting OF laboring men Rev. Jno
W. Crooks, pastor of the Bur Street
Baptist Church, made what Is regarded
nv many as very incendiary speech.
He said;
"EveIything runs to trusts. Just
think of -four Wheat has been selling
all the fall at about so cents bushel,
one-half the usual price. But ask in
Gods name who has been buying flour
at about one-half the usual price. The
-four barons of the republic are not sat
isAed with the whole hog, but they want
hog, pen aud swill pail thrown in. In
our nation many of our large retail
stores simply drive their girls TO prosti-
tuition. I ask you how is it possible for
a girl getting SO to IS a week to pay her
board, lodging and laundry bills; to
dress we'll and wear jewelry and ride
on the street carsg Is 1t mysterya
No, there Is no. mystery IN TOO many
cases. 1t is done at the cost of virtue.
Alas, that gold should be so dear and
flesh and blood so cheap. What will be
the resulta God only knows. We can
only guess. There is no metal which
can stand an indefinite amount OF pres
sure. Sooner or later there will come
an explosion. 1t came in France In the
days of her communism, and the blood
of her tyrants flowed like water ant
fertilized the fields. 1t came in Eng
land under Cromwell, and the heads o
kings and mobiles fell like snowhakes
Whether the present inequality will b.
wiped out with ballots or bullets cal
not tell. But pray by ballots"

RAILROAD WRECKS
Two on the Great Northern and One
on the Northern Pacific.
THE ENGINEER KILLED


SPOKANE, Dec Two fatal wreckn
happened on the Great Northern rail.
road last night, at least three lives be-
ing lost. From the details received
someone seems to be tc blame for one
of the accidents; the other was un-
avoidable under the present economical
system OF track inspection.
Train No. i6 was standing At the
watertank at Edwall, about forty miles
west of here. Train No. IS, expecting
clear track, came along from the
east and dashed into the standing train.
Engineer Joseph Shlnski and Fireman
Wallace were instantly killed.
When 100 yards away Shinski saw
the train standing In his way and
whistled for down brakes. 1t was too
late. The two engines piled mp and
were thrown twenty feet from the
track. Two oil cars were Immediately
behind the tender of No. Is. The oil
caught fire and the wreck was soon In
flames. Shinski's body was found
under the wreck. The fre Immediately
surrounding him was extinguiahed and
the body recovered, the upper part
burned beyond recognition. Wallace's
body was not scorched by the flames.
The oil tanks burst and the Are CON

PRICE OF A BROTHER.
Sister of n Criminal claims tho Reward
for His Betrayal.

BUTTE, Dec. 10.-County Auditor Win
teTs is in receipt of letter from Oliver
Forester, Chicago, father of the mo-
torious Billy Forester, and also of Dan
Crowley, who Is doing time in Deer
Lodge. The subject of the letter is the
5000 reward which had been offered for
Billy after he escaped from jail. He
was captured, as is well known, In
Chicago by being betrayed by his sis
ter, and since he has been In the peni
tentiary he has manifested considerable
curiosity to know whether his sister
got the reward to which she was en-
titled. He had been informed that the
reward had been pasd to the Chicago
chief of police, and this information he
forwarded to his father, who writes
81 showed 1t to the chief of police here
and he says 1t is a lie; that he had
never been paid a cent. l wish yor
would send me particulars, as want tt
produce them in court If he has re
ceived the money, which think he has
| shall hunt him to his hole"
County Commissioner Lloyd, VIII
was sheriff at the time of the cscap
and recapture of Billy, and who pal
half the reward out of his own pocket
stated that he paid the reward, not t
the chief of police, but the chief of tn
detective bureau, man named Ross
and he holds Ross receipt for tn
money. Ross arrested Billy and ha
him in charge when he was turne
over to Lloyd. The latter had no dea
lngs with Forrester's father or siste
and the part they played In the b'
trayal of their kin was none of HI
affair.

THE SHERIFF INDICTED.


Portland Citizens Want an Accounting of
Public Money.
PORTLAND, Dec. s.-SherifT Penumbra
Kelly, George r. Markle, president of
the Oregon National bank, and d. F..
Sherman, cashier, were arrested this
afternoon on an indictment returned by
the county grand jury, charging them
with larceny of county money. The
sum alleged to have been embezzled Is
$16O,1l7, which Sheriff Kelly collected
as taxes and deposited in the Oregon
National and Northwest Trust and Loan
Company before those banks closed last
summer. Markle's bondsmen are all
rich men and furnished bonds at once.
The indictment was brought about by
the nervousness of the community. AS
a consequence of the Indictment of the
officers of the bank that institution has
been turned over to the national bank
examiner pending the appointment of a
receiver. The money deposited after
the Indictment was founo was returned
to the depositors. The bank will moi
resume again, and its affairs will bs
wound up by the receiver.
Several taxpayers meeting have beef
held recently, and a committee was ap
pointed to expert the county books
The closing of the banks seems to b.
the first direct recult of their investi
| cations.

MRS. WILLIAMS FAST FINISHED.


ROrtland's faith Curist and Religious Eli
thusiast Resumes Eating.
Mrs. George H. Williams, Portland's
noted faith curlst and religious enthus-
last, has finished her forty days fast
and resumed eating. 1t was fa- the
nnrn~-~ closer communion with the
lord that Mrs. Williams undertook this
fast, and to obtain an addition To those
communications she says she has re-
ceived from Him.
She prophesies "that the end of the
world is near at hand, to be preceded
by rioting and anarchy throughout the
universe. Calamity after calamity will
refall us. Whole countries will be de-
vastated by fires and floods, and there
will be terrible destruction of life and
property In divers ways"
The influence of Mrs. Williams teach
ing has been of wide extent. More than
100 persons in Portland have ''gone
through the Wilderness" as she calls
the forty-day fast. Parents have re-
quired children to fast, and it has been
necessary for the courts to order these
suffering children to be taken charge OF
by the Boys and Girls Aid Society. Do.
mestic discord has ensued and suits for
divorce are a result. Male followers
gave up lucrative positions, thinking
they could better serve the Lord II
| idleness and prayer. Mrs. Williams
last fast was of seventy days duration
She has been twice disappointed by tn,
Lord and she says if it occurs again sh'
will renounce her faith.

Saunders began to whine and to beg.
He held his hands up and advanced
tremblingly, apparently to surrender.
All this time his wits had been at work,
however, and he saw that Kane was
alone. Tremblingly he approached his
captor, whining and almost crying for
mercy. When he got close to Kane that
worthy, who was thrown considerably
off his guard by the apparent ease of
the capture, put out his left hand to
take Saunders ''gun" from his belt
Like fash one of Saunders long legs
shot upward, kicking the pistol arm of
Kane square upon the "crazy bone,"
the heavy As was discharged as it flew

The Great Mass of Snow Above Lion Sue

BUTTE, Dec. 11.-Henry Knippenberg,
general manager of the Hecla Mining
Company, writes that the experiment
of removing the great mass of snow
from the hill above Lion City with giant
powder was tried Sunday morning under
the direction of S. A. Barbour, the mine
superintendent, and proved Successful.
rhe heavy explosions resulted in
third immense snowslide, which carried
all the snow off the side of the hill and
at the same time swept away the Cleo
patra mine tramway and the big black
smith shop, but no one was Injured.
Everything is now regarded as per-
fec,ly safe and the families are moving
back 10 Lon City from Glendale. Mr..
Kuippenberg states that great credit is
due Mr.. Barbour for the heroic manner
in which he kept his men in line in the
rescue and in cheering up the sufferers
Additional information shows that II
people were buried in the snowslide In
stead OF seven, of whom eleven were
rescued. The two slides buried In all Il
PEOPLE, killing six.

Denver Capitalists Project an Enterprise
That Will Cost Millions.
The Colorado Irrigating Company,
mostly composed of Denver capitalists,
has projected canal to irrigate 1,200,-
600 acres of land ia the Salton desert.
To convey water from Colorado river at
point nine miles above Yuma to said
desert will necessitate the crossing of
the Mexican border. Mexican land
owners, through which the proposed
canal will pass, insist upon the land ad-
jacent to the proposed canal being fur
nished with water before the right Of
way be allowed.
The projectors contend that If they
are compelled to irrigate these lands
tney will have no water left to supply
the Salton desert, and therefore they
have appealed to the United States gov
eminent to interfere in their behalf
Should water be placed upon the tract
in question its value will be from $40,
0o0, 900 to $40, 900, 900, and the tota
length of the canal will be about 40i
miles. The estimated cost is close upol
S5, ,OOO, 900.

An executive committee and delegates
to the Washington convention were
chosen.
Smelter men throughout the state arc
complaining that the supply of silver
ore is gradually decreasing since the
closing of the mines in June-to such al
extent that unless there is rise IL
prices of lead and silver soon, which
will permit resumption of low-grad'
mines, there will be famine in the or,
market, which will compel most of thu
smelters to close down.

MAD CONGRESSMEN
They Don't Like the Presidents Ac-
ton as to Hawaii.
HILL ON THE QUESTION
The American People Are Entitled to All
Information at Hand Upon This I'm
portant Subject.

Last Wednesday spirited dis
cussion on the Hawaiian question oc
cupied the United States senate. Debate
arose overthe resolution offered by
Senator Hoar, requesting the president
to forward to the senate all correspon-
dence on the Hawaiian question.
Senator Hoar said If the presidents
message meant anything 1t meant that
the president was meditating the ques-
tion whether he should by his own
executive authority commit an act of
war against friendly rower If that
was apparently proposed to be done 1t
had not been done yet. Senator Hoar
desired that the swift and indignant re-
monstrancc of the American people
should make itself felt and heard.
Senator Mills opposed the resolution,
said the president had not overstepped
the limit of executive authority and
alleged that the only question presented
was did the republican government in
terfere and overturn the existing gov
ernment of Hawaiil If it did, it was
the duty of the people of the United
States, represented In the government,
to make restitution and reinstate the
government which it had overthrown.
Mills asserted that the entire Hawaiian
difficulty had arisen because the sugar
planters of Hawaii wanted to obtain a
bounty on sugar to be paid them out -oi
the pockets of American citizens. -
Senators Villas and Gray upheld 'ne
president and a lively tilt with oenator
Hoar followed, Villas dec'~fing tnat
wh1tyhe president had instructed the
min. lsr to do he hs< ample authority
iator Hp, of New York agreed with
nS iator Poar and thought the American
ople were entitled to all informa alton
y hand upon the subject. 1t had been
3ssaid that instructions had been given to
Willis, and it was inferred that force
might be used to restore the queen tc
the throne. There were three depart
ments of this government and the exec
utive department was but one of them
There were reasons why this informa
tion should be given now. Perhaps a
this moment, possibly at this very hour
the navy of the United States, cooper
ating with the United States minister
was seeking to destroy the provisional
government by force, and that was
question the propriety of which shoul
be determined by congress.
Senator Sherman favored the passag
of the resolution. There was no reaso
for secrecy. If United States militar
force were used to restore the Hawaiia
monarchy it would be fatal act of pul
lie policy, great injustice to the whol
people of the United States, and almo'
an insult to congress. Congress was
law-making power. The president ha
no right to declare war or to do an az
of war, or precipitate the country I'M
a controversy of this kind.
