Tammany's Big Army


just now. when the air is full of the
rigAeous Indignation Of The people
against the Tammany, it is not amiss to
recall what an immense job those who
propose to overthrow Tammany have
undertaken. The city Comptroller in
his annual report shows that the city
government has on its rolls 5000 sal
aried employees and expends $50, 900, r
coo "A year This is more money and
patronage than is dispensed by the State
government of one half of the United
States. he average salary Of State
Governors does not amount $4,000 a
year. The Governors Of only three
States receive as mu,h as 10000 a
year salary, but in New city there

The sitaa,ion in West Virginia.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, March 3-A' 5
O'Clock today Gov. McCorkle received a
telegram from Col. Hodges, of the Second
regiment, in command at Eagle, that the
sheriff was there with warrants for the
arrest of the men engaged 10 the attack
on the Wyan., Tuesday, aud asked au
thority to use the military In serving
them il posse OF citizens could not be
obtained. The governor wired that the
sheriff was to try to summon posse, but
if be failed, Hodges must extend the aid
OF the military. The governor advised
him to proceed with the utmost caution,
but directed him to proceed with vigor, If
necessary. 10 aid To sheriff. Advlces re
ceived at 10: 80 tonight say several of the
rioters have been arrested without blood
shed The dispatches did not state
whether the military was used In making
the arrests.
AT THE SCENE OF THE BRIDGE BURNING.
The burning of the Chesapeake & Ohio
bridge at Cohen creek, early this morning
cuts off all coal shipments from the Cohen
branch, aud will compel the mine on
the branch to close down. The sheriff
hurried to the scene, but the rioters had
retired before his arrival. The sheriff.
with, 400 military inen and half as many
deputies, Is now at the scene. 1t is not

Condition of Cattle.

Cattle of I'll kinds have passed the winter
in excellent condition in all portions of
Oregon, and if the spring is favorable these
will find ready sale in local and eastern
markets; but if March is cold and rainy
cattle will loose flesh and be in no shape for
beef. Should the weather during this
month and next be sagreeable it would
work a great hardship on sheep during the
lambing season, and very many of the
young will die. The conditions nave been
favorable thus tar to the livestock industry;
but it will largely depend on the elements
whether it will continue so. During the
past few years not as much attention has
been paid to the cattle business as formerly.
and large tracts of land which furnished
good pasturage have been plowed and
planted in grain; but in Crook, Grant and
Malheur counties there is still considerable
revenue derived from the sale of live stock.
In case of an inclement season the greatest
loss will fall on sheepmer for the reason
stated, and they are not in any condition to
stand reverses with the poor sales of wool
they had last year.

A Narrow Escape.

Heppner Gazette: JEFF Hayes had mar
row escape out on Rock creek last Tuesday,
while returning from his sheep camp.
The trail wound around the edge of a very
high and steep cliff. Jeffs pack horse
slipped in some manner, going over. He
hung on to the rope, however dragging his
saddle horse and himself down the decliv-
ity. In this JEFF narrowly escaped getting
severely hurt, if not killed, and by dint of
hard work got his sadd e horse back to
solid footing again, but the pack horse rolled
to the bottom. JEFF left the animal at a
neighboring ranch, and he hardly thinks
that it will survive. The mountains are in
very bad condition now, and sojourners
should be very careful in pursuing their
way along the tortuous trails.

Ro.ebery Premier.

LONDON, Maecn 1t was officially
announced this evening that the queen
had accepted the resignation of Mr.. Giad.
stode. and that her majesty had sum
the post of prime minister. It WAS also
announced that Lord Rosebsry had &C
cepted the position. 1t was freely asser
ted tonight that R ,seosry and the Liber..
al party will have to lace grave Crisis
after the retirement of Mr.. Gladstone. In
addition to the strong objection enter-
tained by large section OF the new radl-
cal party TO the selection of peer as sue
cessor to Mr.. Gladstone there is sore
ness among the more moderate liberals
at the cavIlIer manner in which Gladstone
has treated his colleagues in the matter of
his resignation. 1t Is believed that com
munications have passed between menu
bers of the government and the leaders
of the Irish nstionalists. The latter are
said to nave received assurances that the
passage of measure of home rule will
still be the chief aim of the government. i.
FEW CHANGES IN THE CABINET.
Lord Rosebery's premiership will ln-
volve few changes in the old cabinet. 1t
IS tolerably certain that the Earl of KIM
berly or Earl Spencer will go to the for
gn Office, and that John Morley will
become secretary OF state for India The
nstlonaiists have intimsted that Herbert
Gladstone, or A. h. Dyke Aclaud, vice
president of the committee of councll of
education, must be the new chief secre-
tary for Ireland.

English ParItament.

LONDON, March 5.-The queens speech
proreguing parliament was purely formal,
only fifteen lines 10 length. Lord Rose
berry spent the morning comforting with
the CABINET. A report, apparently based
on this conference, is that John Morley
will continue as chief secretary for Ire
land. II is said to be definitely settled
that Earl Kimberly, secretary of state
for India, will succeed Rosebery as Sec
retary of state for foreign affairs.
The House of Lords met this after
noon. Royal assent was given to the
local government bill. The queen 3
speech was read and the house ad-
journed.
Gladstone was busy all morning with
his secretaries, and received many callers,
including the queens private secretary,
and Justin Mccarthy, leader of the Irish
nationalist.
Harcourt, the chancellor of the ex-
chequcr, assumed the liberal leadership
of the House of Commons amid enthus-
iastic cheers from the liberal benches.
When the members OF Commons were
summoned 20 the Lords to hear the
queens speech, Lsbouchere and some
other radicals remained behind. After
reading the speech, Commons also ad!
journed.
Lord Rosebery visited the queen this
afternoon and kissed her hand Ill recog i.
milton of his sppoiEtment as premier.
The S.. James's Gazette says it Is re .
ported Rosebery will probably effect 3
reunion with the liberaleunionist leaders.

Fire at MayxiIIe,

From the london Globe we learn that
RIppey's store at MayvIlle was destroyed
by fire last Thursday. The fire originated
about o'clock from defective flue, and
before it was discovered 1t had spread al
most through the entire garret. Paul
Gronier says there were only four other
men in town besides himself, and al
though they used almost superhuman eff
fort to extinguish the flames they soon
found that it was beyond their con troll.
They then set to work like trojans TO save
what goods they could before the fire
burned through from the top, and sue
ceeded in saying about all the dry goods,
wagons, buggies, farming implements,
safe and all the p0stoffice material and
mail, except little paper mail. BY this
time the people from all over the neigh
borhood, for miles around, had gathered
in, but too late to be of any service. Paul
says If they had been reinforced by half
a dozen or so few minutes sooner, he
believes they could have extlngulshed the
fire.
The building was S0x6O' feet, 2story,
and was owned by the Odd Fellows, hav
ing been built about nine years ago. All
of the lodge fixtures, books, regalIa, etc.
were lost, they being In the hall ever the
store. We understand there was $1,000
insurance on the hall and $1,000 on the
goods owned by RlppeY. Although par
TALLY insured, the loss will still be con-
siderable for both the lodge and Mr.. RIP
new.
