A STAINLESS DEAL
Uonsumated by Expiring Portland
Bosses How McElroys Professor
ship Was Secured.

Uonsumated by Expiring Portland
Bosses How McElroy's Professor
ship Was Secured.
PORTLAND, Dec. %, 1894
ED. JouRNAL:-I have just seen
your issue of the oath and read the
startling expos Of the manner in
which the late appointment of Il. b.
Mcl.lroy as II professor of the State
University was accomplished. 1t was
q great surprise to me and, in fact, to
all whom have met. / have learned
tnat il was not demanded at the faculty
at Eugene or by others who were iu-
terested in the welfafe of the univer-
sity, that it was not needed, as the
same branch was taught by another
professor aud that even If it was needed
a man much better fitted could have
been secured at the same salary or less.
Y Jur statement that the appOint,n ut
was the result of job forosd on the
regents by the Portland ring, includ.
ing some of the Mutnomah delegation
under threat of withholding apprnpria-
tions from the University in the next
legislature If the appointment was re
fused, is undoubtedly true. Pne 5d ief
that it was the result of political obli'
cation aud bargain seems well founded
1t is now known thatit was promised
to Superintendent Nee roy, at the last
Republican state convention, ih c0usid-
Grafton of his throwing his support to
another prominent candidate, before
the col vento.
This most shameless deal, affecting
an educational position in the grand
State University, with which political
mIchiuatiuns should have nothing 10
do, was thI9 carried through the board
of gents, e" ly to iesisling it.
What iiny picture do we have here
a, All exsm1t, Of educational progress
in the state-an unWorihi AMI u1ii,
man ssddled n the state for life In an
important POSITION, az Il salary suili-
cient for first class educator.
Mr.. McE.roy was never thought OF
as havint any particular learning or
aptitude in English literature TO which
he was appointed or to am spec ial
training or fl ness as a teacher. The
appointment is an outrage on good
morals and the needs of education in
our comparatively new state and
should have been resisted by the
neutrality-suspicious. or no. They
would have been vindicated in time,
in the interest of good government and
clean politics in order to prevent It's
repetition before our fair state engulfld d
in this mess of political debauchery.
This corrupt deal should be published
all over the state and the regents
should be called on to defend them
selves.

ROPE FOR TRUMBULL.
Let Him Realize Operating
Expenses if He Can.
Union Pacific Officials Believe That
They VIII Yet Secure the
Gulf Road.

OMAHA. Jan. 4.-There is more gen.
eral feeling prevalent to-day among
the higher officials of the road that
the Union Pacific will be able to get pos
session of the Denver and Gulf in the
near future. 1t is well-known fact that
Receiver Trumbull of the Denver and
Gulf has not asked that the interest on the
consolidated bonds due in December and
January be paid, and in consequences the
talk of foreclosure becomes significant at
this time. in view of the position the stock
holders have taken looking toward q
united instead of segregated system. An
examination of the annual reports show
that in 1891 the Denver and Gulf failed to
earn enough money to meet the interest
account by S466, OS9 "A. aud for 1892 it failed
to earn the interest charges by S375, ,454 90.
These amounts were made up to the Gulf
Company by the Union Pacific Company
under a traffic agreement which the
attorneys seem to consider not now bind
ing on the receivers Of the Union Pacific.
and which, in consequence, removes a
source of great revenue from the Gulf peo-
pie. With this traffic agreement Cancelled,
as now seems likely, Receiver Trumbull
will be confronted with problem that has
bothered wise heads for generations, and
that is. how to get blood out of a turnip.
About Union Pacific headquarters there
is more ontented feeling than has been
discernible for several weeks past and
the officials will patiently bide their time,
being willing to give Trum bull all the lati-
tude possible to realize interest charges
above operating expenses.
DENVER, Jan. 4.-Ex-Goyernor John
Evans, when shown the Associated Press
dispatch from Omaha. said: "The idea of
the Union Pacific attempting to foreclose
on the Gulf On account of its own failure
TO pay the coupons it contracted to pay
most certainly smacks of dishonesty. The
contract to pay these bonds is in effect
and we will show them so when the courts
get hold of the matter. We will not only
earn fixed charges, but much more when
we regain that immense volume of busi-
ness which the Union Pacific admits in
open court that it diverted from our sys-

The New Order That VIII Take a
Hand in Politics.

LANSING, Mich, Jan. 4.-The existence
of a new secret national labor organza-
tion was discovered here this morning
through secret meeting of the national
committee. The order was secretly
founded in Chicago December 27 by rep
resentatives from thirty-seven States, and
is called 'Ths Ancient Order of Loyal
Americans"
The promoters of the new organization
are confident that it will become of great
national Importance. A secret meeting of
the vicegerent committee was held here
to-day. with members present from Michi-
gan, Ohio. Pennsylvania and New Hamp-
shire. Partridge, the Michigan member,
says the Chicago meeting last month was
attended by delegates from thirty-seven
States an6 that the Order of Loyal Ameri-
pcans is designed to include men of every
calling. The order is to be conducted by
military orders from headquarters, to be
nom partisan and non-sectarian and will
take prominent part in politics and pur-
sue an aggressive policy. 1t was intended
to issue the first general orders on Jan
uary Is. but time will not permit. The
names of the officers are not divulged.

A Story From Rio That Is Denied at

instructions to Immediately embark pro-
visions. coal and other supplies and pro-
ceed with all possible speed to Pernam-
bueo, where they will join the Nictheroy

movement against Mello and Da CANA. 1t

Thompson looking to Intervention by the

that Mello is on the way to Rio to join Da

Rio in accomplishing a settlement of the
Brazilian difficulties was denied by the
State and Navy Departments. Secretary
Herbert said that If any such instruction
was contemplated he had not been In

said that no information of such negotia-
tions had been received from Minister
Thompson and no instructions had been
sent him to take such action. Corrobora-
ton was secured for the report that the

together taken action to prevent the rebel
forces again attacking Rio or doing damage
to it,

dent of the official influence of this coun-
try. Senator Butler, who had not been
present at any previous meeting, was
especially interested in the narrative of
Mr.. Alexander and asked many questions
concerning the people of all races on the
islands. These were all answered to the
apparent satisfaction of the Senator. The
understanding now is that the inquiry will
be pushed 10 as speedy a conclusion as
POSSIBLE in the interest of thoroughness.
1t is possible that time may be asked to
send to Hawaii for witnesses, and it is
limited that Jones. who fastened away
