of the treasury has approved a design

an angel with outspread wings, her
feet resting upon the earth and her up
lifted right hand holding an electric
light. Half-reclining at her right is a
female figure with trumpet at her
lips, prOclaiming the achievements and
progress Of the nation. Further to her
right is an allegorical figure of man,
representing power, guiding with his
left hand three horses abreast, while
with his right he grasps from the
clouds a thunder bolt, which is con-
nected by a ribbon with the light held
by the central figure. At the left is an
eagle and another female figure with a
dove, denoting peace. In the right

ness was transacted in the senate to-
day owing to lack Of a quorum, and
an adjournment was soon taken. Mr..
Harris reported the amended sugar bill.
and the coal, iron ore and barbed wire
bills. The sugar bill is amended so
as to provide for a duty of 40 per cent
straight on sugar without any differen
tial on refined sugar, or any extra duty
on sugar imported from countries pay
ing bounty In other words, it is the
new tariff bill rate minus the differen-
tial. Democratic members of the COM
mittee think that this rate Will furnish
sufficient revenue without giving the
sugar trust any advantage. The coal
bill was so amended as to provide for
| reciprocity. The amendment to the
barbed wire bill provides for the
barbed wire and all other fencing wire
and the rods from which they are
made The free iron ore bill was not
amended. The senate bill to push the

At the Locks.

Saturday morning in response to an
invitation extended by the D. P. & A. N.
Co. to meet the delegation from the
chamber of commerce and other gentle
men of Portland, who were to visit the
locks that day, about twenty gentlemen
of this city boarded the Regulator at 80
bound for the Cascades. The run down
was without incident, save that heavy
fog caused a slight delay, near the mouth
of the Klickitat. The Dalles party ar
rived at the Locks about IL o'clock, and
proceeded to make an inspection of the
works on their own account. After an
hour spent in this manner everybody
struck out to find something to eat and
this was easily found at the elegant little
restaurant owned and managed by DIR.
iCandiana. An elegant dinner put every
one in good humor, and further inspec-
tion of the work was made.
It has been some time since the writer
hereof was at the Locks, and the amount
OF work accomplished in the past season
seemed for this reason perhaps the more
striking. It is claimed by some that the
Day Bros. had an extra lot of men al
work Saturday. Whether this is true OF
not, the fact remains that an immense
amount of work has been done, and that
the work is now progressing very fast

YET ANOTHER BURGLARY
MAYS & GROVE AGAIN THE VIC
TINS OF ROBBERS.
People Going Home From the Dance
Hear the Burglars. and the Marshal
Makes a Capture.

Saturday night about midnight, when
the sound of the violin was hushed and
the clarionet and piano ceased troubling,
the gay gallants or some of them escort
ing the fair ladies to their respective
homes passed by Mays & Groves store.
Suddenly as they passed there was
rattle as if falling hardware a sharp
shrill exclamation such as an angry or
annoyed person might make. 1t was
evident that burglars were at their old
job robbing Mays & Grove. The gentle
man and lady who heard the noise at
once retraced their steps and finding
City Marshal Blakeney informed him of
their discovery. He at once called a
half dozen or more citizens to his aid
and surrounded the building, sending
one for Johnny Hampshire to get the
keys to the store. Two or more men
were armed with clubs and stationed at
every door or window by which the
burglars might escape. With nerves at
their highest tension and muscles rigid
each bold watcher stood at his post ready
to beef the first thing that put in an
appearance.
Finally the key was procured, and
Marshal Blakeney and several others en-
tered. BY this time the excitement OF
the watchers was intense. and directly
when heavy fall was heard on the in
side, and the triumphant notes of victory
were heard announcing the capture oi
the thieves the guards broke for the
door to share in the capture. Marsha,
Blakeney came out dragging chain the
other end of which was fastened around
the burglars leg. AS the crowd gathered
Jim held his capture up, in spite of his
shrieks, and when they saw it was RAJ
that had gotten into trap set by Fletct
Faulkner, they dropped their clubs anC
without having the riot act read to them
dispersed. The burglar suffered death
without the aid of the grand jury.

The case of the State against Savage is
up for trial this afternoon, the selection
of jury being the business in hand.
This will probably occupy considerable
time, indeed we doube if a jury can be
obtained.
w. B. Hurlburt, who has been en-
ployed as engineer in the Johns planning
mill, has now recovered from an accident
by which he lost finger nail. He was
fortunate enough to hold policy in the
Fidelity, and received $14 on account of
the accident.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon the selec-
tion of jury to try the case of the State
against Savage began. At O'Clock the
attorneys were busily engaged in ques-
tioning juror, as to his qualifications,
and if they succeed in agreeing upon
him and get two more tonight, they will
have three to start with tomorrow.

ARMlNG THE MILITIA.
Gen. Flagler Wants Better Weapons
for Soldier Boys,


In his annual report to the Secretary of
War Gen. Flagler. chief Of ordnance. makes
a strong point on the insufficiency Of the
appropriations for arming and equipping
the militia. He says there Is an urgent de-
mand for most of the states to have their
arms changed for later and better model.
The efficiency of the National Guard in
actual service demands this. and the pres
ent appropriation renders 1t impossible to
effect the change OF more than a small per-
centage of arms each year.
The report sums up under different heads
the work accomplished during the year and
the present state of development Of the va
rious military weapons and appurtenances.
or the new magazine rifle 1t says the out
put from the Springfield armory Is now
sixty rifles per day. and 1t Is expected to
advance to the rate of eighty per day In a
few months Up TO September 20 last 1850
Of these rifles had been issued. There has
been some delay owing to the necessity of
changing the sights, which were found
faulty, and procuring suitable bayonet
scabbards. Then, too, experience. 1t is
stated, has not yet developed all the diffi,
culties that may have to be considered
with smokeless powder. On account of the
weight of the steel bayOnet scabbard re-
peated trials have been made to fabricate
scabbards of aluminum, but so far without
success. Under the head of projectiles the
report states that experiments have been
made here and abroad 10 produce projec-
tiles that will penetrate Harveyized armor-
plate without breaking up but SO far with
out marked success, and II is probable that
the most satisfactory solution of the ques-
ton will be to increase the caliber Of the
gun, emphasizing the already admitted ne
cessity for 16-inch guns for our seacoast

What Collector Ryan Says OF the

state were getting out of their apathy and
he predicted that most of the democratic
candidates for Congness would be elected.

success in \ way that they do not fear the
success of any other republican. Should
Walker be elected, he would become the
recognized leader of the republicans in
Virginia, and his brains and snap would
give him something like commanding
position in the House. For these reasons
Chairman Ellyson is directing his best ef-

fourth district, known as the black belt.
He will poll large colored vote, and many
negroes who do not vote for him will stay
from the polls in order not to vote against
him. Swanson, in the fifth district, is hav-
ing a hard fight, but he will, in my opinion,
get in by the skin of his teeth.

nomination by Tazewell Elicit, is winning
golden opinions for the hearty and effective
work that he is doing for Elicit
