Trout fishing on the upper Pecos is not

Some fair catches have been made during
the past three days, and the pools and ed
dies are alive with fish, but the stream is
yet high and the water somewhat cloudy.

WAITE INTERPRETERS.

The agreement made between Gen
Brooks and Sheriff Bowers at Cripple
Creek does not meet Gov. Waite's ap.
proval in all respects. The governor to-
day wired Adjutant Gen. Tarsney that
the troops must not be used as guard at
the mines, that receipts must be given to
the miners for the arms taken from them
and that not more than twenty-five men
must be arrested.

lecture.

The water question is reduced to
matter of guessing; but from all reliable
reports received, we fail to yet see any
bow of promise. The following is the
substance of reliable dispatches received
today: At Lewiston, on the Snake, the
river had been at standstill for forty
eight hours, ending at 6 o'clock this
morning, at which time it began to rise.
At Wenatchie, on the Columbia, 80
miles above The mouth of the Snake, a
dispatch this morning says: "The Col
umbia has been at standstill for forty
eight hours, but the weather is ex-
tremeIy warm and further rise is an
ticipated." Yet another dispatch says
the Spokane is again rising. From all
of which we conclude that check
should occu tonight, last from thirty
six to forty-eight hours, after which a
still further rise must be expected.
From all points the snowfall is reported
as unusually heavy, and the high water
| limit is simply question of weather
conditions, which so far seem to be per-
feet for an overwhelming rush of water.

Mr.. Balfe johnson, who visited Cas-
cade Locks yesterday gives graphic ac-
count of the situation there.
The bulkhead which keeps the Col
umbia out of the upper end OF the lock
has been in danger of going out for sew
eral days, but gallant fight has been
made and is being made to save it. A
dam has been built across from the rail-
road track to the bulkhead, the bulk
head itself raised, and all that human
efforts could accomplish or ingenuity
suggest has been done. Superintendent
Borie, of the U. p, generously donated
1000 sacks, which are filed with sand
and ready to be dropped into any cre-
vase that may occur. The water yes
terday when Mr.. johnson left was well
up to the top of the bulkhead, and those
who were protecting it stated that six
inches higher water would destroy it,
Should it go out, it will, quite likely,
destroy all the riprap work and possi-
bly, destroy the entire works, entailing
loss of over million dollars.
The Union Pacific is also in bad shape
in that vicinity. just below the mouth
of the canal, where the current strikes
the bank alongside of the railroad, the
sliding mountain is again moving, re-
sem bling a huge glacier. Immense
masses of the blnff are continually fall
ing into the river. while the big fir trees
as they tumble over the bank, hang for
little while top downwards, reaching
half way down the face of the bluff, and
then go sliding and plunging into the
wild whirlpools of the raging floods be-
low. For a quarter of mile the river
has cut into the mountain, and the
mountain crushed into the river, until
the bluff where the railroad formerly ran
now presents face three hundred feet
in height. The U. P. track is not alone
gone, but its r1ght-of way has gone with
it. The mountain is moving down so
rapidly that the old Dalles and Sandy
wagon road is now almost ready to top
pie over into the Columbia.
The telephone line had been moved
down uutil the poles were within few
feet of the bank, and as communication
with Portland over the telephone ceased
last night, it is reasonably certain that
the poles went down the bank some
time during the night. Until this land.

of the daily reports of crop damage
and, in some states, of crop annihila-
ton. A prospective short crop sent
the price up. No reasonable man
disputes that the smaller advance in
wheat concurred with the advance in
corn. The movements Of the grain
and silver markets for The past SUM
mer show conclusively that the prices
of commodities are governed alto
gether by the measures Of supply and
demand. When wheat is scarce the
same thing happens. When wheat
and corn are abundant the prices fall.
So with silver. If the silver men
really want the price of silver to go up
they will demand a strong restriction
of production. The price cannot be
in any other way, The
stronger Asiatic demand will not
make much difference because it can
be SO easily met by the superabun-
dance of silver in the world.

Wheat and Silver.

There has always been claim on
the part of the free silverites that the
prices of silver and wheat were in
some way related, and that when one
went up Or down the other would go
in the same direction out of pure SYM
pathy. The late squirt in the price
of corn, however, showed that this
bond of sympathy is not as strong as
has been claimed. The Minneapolis
Journal commenting upon this move
ment of prices says:
Wheat, stimulated by the great ad-
vance in corn, moved>up little with
corn through the belief that very
short corn crop would create larger
demand for wheat. When corn drop
ped wheat dropped also, all the time,
silver remained about stationary at
62aa to 62a cents. The movement of
the produce markets had no effect on
silver whatever and never has had.
But recently when theesdemand for
silver in Japan and China strength
ened silver moved up few points to
633a cents an ce=sfor bar. Now
everybody knows that corn jumped
16 to II cents in short time and out
stripped No. 2 wheat solely because

A workingman in an interview with
Eli Perkins, gives this practical view
of the tariff question: Ridgefie]d is
an hour and half from New York,
fifteen miles north of Norwalk, on the
New Haven railroad. The town is
high up on incipient mountains. 1t
should be called Richfeld, for, like
Stockbridge and Lenox, every hilltop
is crowned with palatial residences of
rich men from the big cities. The
drives are lovely and the cottages are
full of fashionable visitors. Beautiful
children and blooded dogs are play
ing on every lawn. Everybody seems
to be rich here on the ridge, but over
in Meriden, where the wheels are
stopped, and up in Danbury, where
the hatters are idle, there come com
plants.
Today Silas Rockwell, who used to
work in the Meriden Brittania works,
passed through Ridgefeld. He was
looking for work.
II will do anything" said Silas-
"dig potatoes, tend children, milk,
and cheap, too."
"Why don't you work in the Meri-
den shops?" I asked.
"a third of us are out" he said.
"They used to pay out 100000
month, but now it's only 100000
that the boys get hold of. Times are
hard in New England"
"What do the boys say about the
hard times, Rockwell?" I asked.
"Well, they don't say much. They
sit still and growl. They don't un-
derstand the thing; but I used to
teach school in Stratford, and I can
figure it all out"
"What is the trouble, as you figure
it, Silas'" I asked.

"Well, Silas, Cleveland may make
wages lower, but he is working for a
foreign market" I said.
"There they are picayune again"
said Silas. "Why, the census report
says the cloth, iron, tin, glass and
