Our Weather.

In this latitude Christmas is generally
considered midwinter; but on account Of
the Japan current frequently the great
Christian festival passes with the weather
as mild as spring. This has been true
this season, and, although the 9th of jan
uary has passed no really diagreeable
weather has been experienced. During the
asst part of November fall of snow was
experienced; but this did not stay but two
or three days, and the thermometer was
not below the freezing point. Alter this
frown of winter, the weather again mo ier-
ated and has continued very agreeable ever
since Last night about two inches of
snow fell, and the morning was quite cold;
but in the afternoon it again became mild
and agreeable. Until the middle of Feb
ruary occasional storms may be expected,
but then spring usually begins. So far
cattle have fed upon the hillsides, and are
now in good condit ion for beef. 1t will
not be phenomenal if grass continues good
right along, and from present indications
there will be no change in the present con-
ditions. The mild winters of Eastern
Oregon are as renowned as the pleasant.
cool summers, and the climate of this
region cannot be surpassed anywhere on
he globe.

Dalles Public School Notes.

The total number of pupils in attendance
Just before the Christmas holidays was 40.
OF this number twenty.fo are non-rtsi-
dents and pay tuition tolthe district. About
$500 will be realized from that source DUR
ing the present school year.
L schools are now crowded nearly to
the limit Of the total seating capacity aud
beyond the limit in particular grades.
The total enrolment and average daily
attendance are each larger during the pres
ent school year than ever before in the his
tory of the city. Each number exceeds by
fifty pupils the number at the time the
teaching force was increased to the present
number principal and ten grade teachers
Forty pupils prrsteacher Is the limit for
the most efficient work. That limit has
been passed in The Dalles public schools,
and it is question of only a short time un-
till more buildings must be erected and more
teachers employed.
When the equalized assessment roll for
The DalIes district reaches the school board
a special school meeting will be called to
levy district tax, as all school tax levies
of '93 have been declared questionable BY
State Superintendent McElroy.
The semi-annual. examinations will close
Friday. January 10th, and promotions
throughout the schools will take Ilace on
the Monday following.
Since April. 1893, the school clerk has
collected sS2s delinquent school taxes.
From 1894 inclusive all direct taxes

Iecsed by the sheriff once each year, and
but one receipt will be gwen. This Is the
good feature of the new way and offsets the
Inconvenience caused last year by the

The Tariff Caucus.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5-There was good
attendance at the Democratic caucus to.
night. Holman presided. 1t was esti
tlmated that lat cut of total OF 216
house Democrats were present when the
proceedings began. 1t was decided to
limit spe eches to five minutes Wheeler

Crisp followed. Ee offered resolution
that it was the duty of every Democrat
to vote for the consideration of the taIi #
bill, and also the duty of all Democrats
to attend the sessions of the house and to
maintain quorum until the tariff bill
is disposed of. In ringing speech,
Crisp sharply reprimanded the Demo
Gratis responsible Tor the 1nactlon in the
heuse during the past three days. He
said
"The proper way to act for those dis
satisfied is to take the bill up and have
it considered. They will be given an

decide. No member will lose any of bis
rights. and it will be to the honor and
credit OF the party to go forward and

commission from the people, and it is Its
duty to carry it out. The spectacle OF
the past three days has been disgrace
to the large Democratic majority in the
house, and siccerefy hope it will not

The Highbinders-

In Chinatown are up in arms against the
law calling for the registration of CHI
nese residing in the United States. As
sisting these are the Chinese convicted
of felony, who cannot register and are
subjected to deportation. Last night q
general raid was made on all circulars
of information posted in Chinatown and
they we're tern down. A proclamation
was issued by the highbinders warning
all Chinese not to register. This procla-
nation has served to carry fear nto the
ranks of the more reputable Chinese, who
are willing to register under the new law
Nothing was known of the work of the

Was He Drowned7
Fossil Journal.


The day before last Christmas Charles
Sears and VIM. Keys, ir.. while driving
cattle, saw a man walking leading horse
on the benches of Butte Creek, going toward
the river. There was no saddle on the
horse which was branded L. B. They asked
him where he was going. He said toward
the mouth OF Butte Creek. They asked if
he intended fording the river and he replied
that he did. The John Day was nigh at
the time, and it would have been impossible
to have forded 1t there, that being very
rough ford even in summer. The young
men told the stranger that the river was
d--n; he was going to ford it. The man
acted strangely. and seemed to want to
hide his face, which he partly succeeded in
doing by keeping his horse between him
and them. From his actions and appear
ance the young men thought he was a little
out Of HE head.
On the same day Del Zacharv's wife, who
lives at the mouth of Butte Creek, saw the
man approaching the river. and watched
him until he had almost reached the ford,
when he passed from her range Of vision.
This was the last seen of the man by anyone
in that section of the country, notwith-
standing close inquiry has been made. The
ford is IN Del ZAchary's field and on Christ
mas morning the horse, with the rope
around his neck, was discovered in the
field. The horse, sorrel eelding. good
animal, has been seen and identified by
Messrs. Keys and Sears as the horse the
stranger was leading. Probably the man
was crazy, and it is fair to presume that he
did as he said he meant 10 do-at-
tempted to ford an untordable stream, and
found watery grave. No one in this vic
unity Is known to have disappeared, and it
is likely the man, il he was drowned.
travelled considerable distance to meet his
death.
We have been informed that L. B. is the
brand of Lem Burgess Of Bake Oyen.

He Fears Prosecution.

CHICAGO, Jau. 7-Andrew Foy, with q
new suit of clothes aud a roll of bile
has left Chicago. According to one story
he has gone to New York TO meet Nc
Laugh in, the states expected witness,
and according to another he has left the
country, as he fears arrest. Whether
either ofthese stories is true ia not known.
One thing is certain: Andrew Foy is
gone and his friends deny that they know
where he is. Andrew Foy is the husband
of Mrs. Foy, and, If the story his wife
told be true, is a. deeply implicated in
the murder of DR.. Cronin, as Dan Cough
lin is supposed to be. James McLaugh-
lin is Mrs Foy's brother. Until lately
he has been living in G'asgow, Scot
land, bat the state, believing he could
testify, has tired to isduce him to return.
A ticket was sent him. and be is believed
to have left Glasgow December 30 He is
due in New York Monday. 1t is thought
by the prosecution that Mclaughlin may
be tampered with when he lands, and
trusted agent is waiting at New York to
head off such an attempt.

Prisoner Escaped.

Grant County News: Last Friday
morning there was great commotion in
the city. Coy, one of the prisoners con-
fined on charge of assisting in the Fox
valley robbery case. had escaped from the
county Jail the night before. In connec-
tion with this fact one of Stansell's horses
was missing. As all the jail doors were
securely locked the officers came to the
conclusion that Coy had been assisted to
escape through the side deor-had either
had help from the outside or had made a
key and let himself out and then relocked
the door. Ivy, who is held as witness
in the same case, could tell nothing def
mite concerning the escape. Fred Mosier
was sent after the sheriff who had started
early that morning on trip down the
river. Mr.. Combs, therefore, cut across

Will Make a Fight.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5-There will be
another contest 10 the senate over the
confirmation of Thomas, appointed from
an eastern state as an Indian agent at
UmatilIa. During the apecial session of
congress there was protracted fight in
the senate against the confirmation OF
this class of appointments, not because
there was any objection to the men per
sonally, but because the principle was
opposed. The fight this time will open
with the Oregon appointment, and both
Dolpb and Mitchell have said they IN
tend to object TO sending appointees from
the east and south into their state. 1t Ie
believed all the western meE will support
them. 1t is claimed by those who sup
port the administration in the matter
that Indian agents are not state appoint
ments; that Indian agencies are purely
under federal ccntrel. and that appoln
tees Gao be sent from any section of the
country to govern agencies.

Gresham interviewed.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-For the first
time since the arrlva! of the C0rloin and
the recent alarming reports from Homo
lulu, Secretary Gresham submitted TO an
interview tonight on the Hawaiian situa-
tion. He talked with great earnestness
and his replies to question consisted all
most wholly of denials He said if there
wele any trouble at Honolulu neither the
president nor the state department knew
anytning about it. He denied the report
that the department had received any
dispatches from the Coroin, but stated
that dispatches by the regular course OF
the mails were expected from WillIs
Wednesday. adding.
"And whatever dispatches are received
at any time they will be sent to congress
at once"
Gresham stated that neither the presi-
dent nor the state department knew any
thing about the CorUin being anchored
off San Francisco, and, il SO. It was not
by any order of the executive or the de.
partment of state. Regarding the report
that Willis or the queen was on board
the C0rloin, Gresham pronounced them
fabricatiens. The CorWin being a reve-
nue. cutter, is under the control of the
treasury department. and any dispatches
sent by Captain Munger would, therefors
naturally go TO Secretary Carlisle.

This announcement will no doubt tend
to increase the hatred of all Chinese vag-
rants. and it is then that war Is expected
to break out between the two classes. All
reputable Chinese will obey the word o.

lection, but there is no ample certainty
that the desperate characters will even
then desist in their efforts to prevent reg

Supposed co Have DoIe's Reply.

WASHINGTON, Jan. g. 1t is considered
altogether improbable that the CorOsn
left Honolulu without the reply o; Pres
Ident Dole to the demand of Willis that
the provisional government should sur
render the authority back to Liliuoka.
lani. Minister Thursten arrived at Hon
olulu on the alameda. The Coroin left
there several days later. Dole therefore
had the benefit of Thurston's counsel ID
framing his reply. A gentleman in this
city, whose relations with both gentle-
men are intimate, expresses the convic-
tion that Dole's reply follows closely the
lines of Thur.ton's letter of December 5,
delivered to Gresham the day Thurston
lett Washington. In that letter Thurs
ton contended the United States had ace

dent sovereign state of Hawaii It's be-
