A man named T. S. Moore was killed
near Hood River yesterday afternoon
about 2:30 O'Clock. He was working on
the pile driver and was under bridge
putting on some braces, when the "nig-

striking him on the head and crushing
his skull. Deceased lived in the Mt.
Hood settlement at the head of Hood

children.

A Month In a Sail Boat.

A sail boat was noticed at one of Sa-
lem's wharfs today that at once attract
ed the attention of the reporter. The
stranger" is a craft with 6-foot beam
and 20-foot keel, neatly fitted out, with
all the necessities for camping attached.
Our inquiring led us to learn that the
masters of the ship were Edward G.
Patterson and a Mr.. Fisher of The Dalles.
Patterson is the son of ]. NJ. Patterson,
cashier of the First National bank OF
The Dalles, and grandson of G. G.
Gray of this city. These young men
left The Dalles two weeks ago last Mon
day and they expect to be gone on the
trip month. They have sailed all the
way, excepting from the mouth of the
Yamhill they took steamboat for
Salem, as the wind died out on them.
Next Friday they will leave Salem for
Astoria and then return to their home.
Their mode of rusticating is an odd one,
but interesting. The scenery along the
Columbia river is grand, beyond de-
scription, and they are loud in their
praise of the grandeur of the rivers oi

Centervil1e Burned.

A fire broke out in Harvey's black
smith shop at Centerville, WASH, about
$3.50 this morning and burned all that
portion of the town south of the road
before it quit. Among the buildings
burned were the two hotels, warehouse
belonging to Crofton Bros. and about a
dozen residences, fourteen or fifteen
buildings in all. The fire occurring in
the night, the inhabitants had no
knowledge of it until it had gotten such
start that nothing could be done. The
residents got out, many of them with
nothing but their night clothes, and
buildings and contents were total loss.
There is no doubt some insurance but
neither that nor the value of property
destroyed can be learned today.

Market Review.

FRIDAY, August 4th.-There have been
no changes in the merchandise market
the past week, but business has been
good and large quantities of supplies
have been sold and forwarded to interior
points.
In the produce market there ls a
healthy condition. Eggs are firm and
scarce; dealers are paying from II to IA
cents per dozen, and complain that they
can't get what they want; poultry is
slow sale, owing to the fact that offerings
are in excess of demand. Vegetables
and green fruits are in abundance and
the market is weak.
There is some movement in wool, but
few sales, as both buyer and dealer
realize the action of congress will
materially affect the price, the wool
market has degenerated into guessing
contest. Last week as the senate and
house seemed drifting apart the price
advanced sharply, touching 10 cents per
pound. AS the chances of some kind of
an agreement become better the price
has gone down until the price may be
put at 81s cents, though yesterday one
lot brought 91s cents.
The wheat market is quiet, prices for
the new crop not yet being established,
the opening of the o. R. & N. for freight
traffic removes one element of annoy
ance, and lightens the heart of the wheat
grower. The prospects for an extra
large crop in the United States are not
SO good. Southern California reports a
total failure, while the recent hot wave
in the middle states will have some
effect though the wheat harvest was
nearly over.

Leaves From the Notebook of Chronicle
Reporters.

Boat wanted, for ten days. Inquire
at this office.
Yesterday would have been a splen-
did day to take buggy ride inside of
the street sprinkler.
The west bound passenger came in
this morning shortly after O'Clock but
with rather small number of passen-
gers.
There was a slight sprinkle of rain
about daylight this morning, not enough
to dampen the ground but just enough
to make pretty little freckles in the dust.
1t was sinfully hot yesterday; so sui
try and close that even the dogs left the
streets and crowded into some secluded
spot, where they could pass the day
without their pants.
Yesterday afternoon the city marshal
gathered in three individuals suffering
apparently from sunstroke as they were
lying in the alleys and utterly uncon-
scious. They all recovered after night
in the jug.
We are told the thermometer at
Grants yesterday registered 106 in the
shade, and men working on the section
tell us that in the sand cuts about Cello
it was like an oven and they had to
quit work there.
Although it was quite sultry this
morning the hot wave has probably
swept by. Clouds have come up from
the west, and the breeze has also shifted
around, and what there is of it is coming
from that direction.
The steamer Columbia plying on the
upper Columbia river between Reyel-
stoke, B. G. and Northport Wash,
caught fire at 1 80 Wednesday night
and was entirely nestroyed. She was a
fine boat costing about $75. 900.
From present indications the county
indebtedness will be reduced in round
numbers SIS 900 this year. The delin-
quent tax list is quite large, and if this
is collected closely the reduction will be
fully up to the amount named. The
county judge and commissioners deserve
commendation for their good work.
Yesterday five men who had been
working for the o. R. & N. were dis
charged at Arlington, and undertook to
come to The Dalles to get their time
checks eashed. They made a raft and
started down the river, but on the way
one of them fell off and was drowned.

by fire, his barn, with forty tons of hay,
two horses, harness and wagon and
two calves being bnrned. Besides this
there was quite quantity of freight be-

WASHINGTON, April l4.-Mr. Reed was
the centre of attention as he entered the
House to-day. His associates on the Re
publican side gathered about him ana
warmly congratulated him on the action OF
the Democratic caucus yesterday in voting
for quorum counting rule. II was re-
garded as personal victory for Mr.. Reed.
Democrats Joined in good natured congrat-
ulations, Mr. Cochran remarking that Mr..
Reed was no longer the original and only
Car, as the Democrats had decided 10 De
Cars.
Mr.. Reed conferred with Messrs. Ding
lev, Burrows, Cannon and other Repubh-
can leaders as 10 the course 10 oe adopted
when the new rule was brought IN lie
would authorize no statement OF What
would be done. In his talks with other
members, however, il was made clear tnat
Mr. Reed would lead the minority in
hearty acceptance OF any rule recognizing
the substantial principle OF counting
quorum which he enforced in the FIFTY
first Congress. To friend Mr. Reed re-
marked that IL was hardly wise 70 an
nounce a policy and thus place the cards
face up on the desk. IL has been made
clear, however, that the only thing Mr..
Reed would contend for Is for rule free
from ambiguity and which will accomplish
the end as well as recognize the principles,
for which he has so long contended-
Representative Dingley, OF Maine
talked with Mr.. Reed aad with many OF
the Republican mem oers as 20 the pros
pective course Of action. Mr.. Dingley
would not outline any exact policy, but be
gave his personal views, which reflect the
general feeling among RepuC licsns.
while / sm not authorized TO state
what course will be adopted, II seems evi-
dent that no opposition viii be made TO
rule which clearly recognizes the principle
that an actual, visible quorum can oe
counted TO do business. A rule OF that
character would be sucn vindication End
endorsement Of the rule enforced oy Mr..
Reed in the Fifty-hrst Congress that there
would be every reason why we should ac-
cept il with satisfaction. Nor Is II likely
that questions would De raised against IN
essential details, so long as the substance
and essence Of the parliamentary principle
for which we have contended Is recog.

Gen. Slocum was native Of New FORK.
He graduated from the West Point Mill
tary Academy in 1889 and served in the
army until 1856, when he resigned, studied
law and went into politics. He was elect
ed to the New York Legislature, and be-
came colonel of one of the regiments OF the
New York State Guards.
When the war broke out he went TO tho
front as Colonel OF the 9th New York In.
fantry; was wounded at the first battle OF
Bull Run; and when he returned 70 his
regiment wrs commissioned Brigadier
General.
he was soon put in command Of divis-
ion and in the Peninsular campaign won
the rank of Major General. From this
time forward he was prominent ngure III
all the great battles fought by the army OF
the Potomac.
After the war General Slocum practiced
law in Brooklyn until elected TO Congress
Nv the Democrats of his district Ia 1868.
He served two consecutive terms in the
House anu was again elected in 1851.
When the Demscrats were looking
around for a military candidate for the
Presidency his name vas often mentioned,
and he would have done no oiscredit 10
the position.

The House Compelled to Adjourn by the
Republican Eilibusters.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 1.-The fact
that the Democratic caucus yesterday de-
cided to have formulated rule providing
for the counting of members present but
not voting did not have the effect Of lnduc-
ing the House Republicans to desist from
tho filibustering attitude they have as
sumed throughout the week. As soon
as the Chaplain had completed his prayer
Mr.. Reed raised the point Of order that
the pending question was the approval OF
the journal of yesterday on which the
House was dividing when an adjournment
was had.
The speaker held, however, in accord
ance with the rule that the journal must
first be read to officially disclose TO the
House the parliamentary statutes. Mr..
Reed did not contest the matter further,
but when the journal of yesterdays pro-
ceedings had been read, Mr.. Boutelle oiect-
ed TO It's approval. Mr.. Dockery moved It's
approval, whereupon Mr.. Boutelle forced
the yeas and nays. The Republicans de-
cined TO vote on the announcement, 1920,
showing that the Democrats were 81 short
OF a quorum and that it was manifestly i'm
possible to supply the deficiency to-day.
Mr. Cultivate moved 10 adjourn. The
motion was carried and the House at l2:3O
adjourned.

Severely Than Ordinary Mortals.
WASHINGTON, D. g., April 1.-THE
probabilities now are that the Republican
leaders Of the Senate will not only consent
to the continuation OF the present debate
on tho tariff for the next week. but that
they will agree to close the great debate oy
the end of the week. The one circumstance
which may interfere with this programme
is the prot bility that there may be several
Democratic speeches during the week
which may consume part OF the time that
Republicans would otherwise De permitted
to occupy. Senators Smith and McLaurln
have already given notice OF intention 10
speak and there will probably be others OF
the Democrats who will be heard before
the general debate shall close.
There are not great many more Repub-
lican Senators who will speak on the
general features of the bill and II has be-
come apparent that they will not seek TO
prolong this part of the debate even to the
extent of presenting the general speeches
which they could make. They could equal
ly say 1t is their purpose TO reserve all that
is possible for the debate on the various
schedules for each Of which the Republi-
can Senator'S will demand the most ex-
upon these schedules such as petroleum,
whisky, lead, ore, agricultural products,
wool, iron, tin plate and dozens OF others
including almost the entire category OF
manufactured articles that the Republicans
count to furnish the text for prolonglng
the debate possibly into the summer.

WASHINGTON. D. c., April 14-Repre-
sentative Boatner, of Louisiana, who has
been absent from this city with the Jen-
kins investigating committee, did not reach
here in time to attend the Democratic
caucus yesterday. On learning OF the ac-
tion taken he expressed regret that be had
not been able to attend. He had, in fact,
contemplated Offering at the first oppor-
tunity rule which he believed would
obliviate the necessity OF counting
quorum and at the same time eject
ually prevent filibustering without
resorting to the undignitied method or nm
ing members. Under the rule that L
would offer,n said Mr.. Boatner, "any men,
ber OF the House who, being present. re-
fused to vote, lot having, of course. Pc
cuniary interest in the legislation under
consideration, would be declared in con-
tempt This would deprive him OF the
right to make motion, tokobIect, or, IN
fact, to be recognized by the chair. l
would have him remain in contempt until
the House saw fit, by vote, TO remove his
disability. II is not difficult thing TO
compel the attendance Of members. The
rules, II enforced, already provide for that.
Under this rule tilibustering would be i'm
possible after single attempt had been
made. The minority might leave man
or two in good standing to make motions,
but they could not leave enough to call for
the ayes and nays or conduct other oo-
structive tactics. The members who went
voluntarily into contempt would be then
snder the control of the House which
could remove the disability when and in
whatever manner it saw it."
Representative Boatner will attempt to
have his rule considered by the committee
before it makes a report.
