The Dalles and Psndle,on.

The wool business at the securing mill
is about finished for the season, though
the mill will continue to scour until
Septemb ber. The manufacture of soap in
connection with the mill promises to be
q houris hing industry. Besides using
from 5000 to 5000 pounds a month, the
company has sold three tons of laundry
soap. This makes an excellent market
for tallow, all the tallow obtalnable dur
ling the winter being necessary for the
summer run.-Pendleton Tribune.
This is the way things are done in
Pendleton, and The Dalles should imi-
tate its busy neighbor. The securing
mill has been the making of Pendleton
just as the boat company has helped The
Dalles. We possess every advantage
that Pendleton has and more for we are
the business centre of a greater area OF
country. Our transportation facilities
exceed those of Pendleton and we have
as much and possibly more idle capital.
Our business men are just as bright and
their credit just as good. The expert
ment of the D. p. & A. N. Co. shows
what we can do when we try. Let us be
up and doing, for with proper effort the
future before US is great. First we want
board of trade, chamber of commerce
commercial club, or any organization
that can advance the interests of the
town. This Is the first step towards
getting a woolen mill. We must have q

 Those who read the correspondence resent President Cleveland's attitude but the almost invariable answer re- ceived to inquiries for the expression of opinion is, ''What is it all about, anyway" The message, however, is being used on the stock exchange to hammer American securities.

IN THE SENATE.
Warlike Spirit Also Prevails in the
 Upper House.

WASHINGTON Dec. 1S.-The sen- ate shared the great sentiment of bel tigerency which prevailed today and from the outset of the session the measures proposed breathed the spirit of patriotism and of preparation for an emergency that might arise concerning Venezuela.
 The first bill introduced was that of Senator Chandler of New Hampshire, providing for an appropriation of s100,000,O0 for a heavy increase'in in the National armament. This was followed by propositions authorizing the secretary of war to purchase late device of heavy bat tery and for a report on the feasibility for equipping for service the old ship, Constitution.
 Senator Hill of New York added to the suggestions of defensive by asking immediate consideration for bill making ex-confederaItes eligible to ser vice in the army or the navy.
 Aside from these steps inaugura ling legislation, the day was passed with out decisive action on the Venezuelan question.
 As a further expression on the sub ject of British encroachments, the sen- ate agreed to a resolution introduced by Mir. Davis, calling on the president for information as to British or Cana dian occupation, military or civil, ot any part of the United States territory of Alaska.

A Kansas Sheriff Finds Ills Quarry in Sonora Mining
 Camp.

Y6SL0Tudy mOTuluS OueTlu D. h. Royse of Sedswiek county, Kansas, ar rived in Phoenix from Sonora, bringing with him G. G. Nordmark, accused of emIbezzE zEement at Wichita. Nordmark had been arrested for the sheriff at sMinas Prietas by the Mexican author ities, who delivered him to the sheriff upon authority of papers from Arizona The prisoner was therefore brought to Phoenix ito secure the formal signature of the governor upon his requisition papers.
 Nordmark up to last September was manager of the Postal Telegraph com pany's office at Wichita, a position which he had filled with all credit for three years. Even in staid and pre- sun1ably sober Kansas, however, the gambling instinct comes up and Nord- mark speculated in wheat. His own money went into the deal and then sev- eral hundred dollars of the company funds. Nordmark took a short leave of absence September II to visit rela- 'ives and raise cash. file failed and then disappeared.
 The company's loss was soon de- teoted and was figured up at S450.02, and a warrant on September 22 was, placed in the sheriff's S hands
 The Postal company, possibly that an example might be made, has prose cuted the search for Nordnark with the utmost vigor. His description was te,egraphed all over the United States and photographs came even to Phoe- nix. 8 reward of several hundred dOi- lars being offered for his appre eh ension- At last the quarry was located in No gales and thither went the sheriff, only to find a Sonora trip necessary. ,Nordmark denies nothing and freely accompanies the officer, of whom he is an old friend.
 l He tells a few rather humorous in cidents of his flight. As he cultivated
 moustache he soon was not to be recognized from the sm0oth-faced portraits sent out from Wichita and on a number of occasions stood around telegraph offices hearing the click of the sounder receiving messages giving his description and. offering rewards for his capture. The Pinkertons had his case in hand and on two occasions while travelling under an assumed name, of which he had had a variety,
 he was arrested on suspicion of being
 himself. But each time he persuaded his captors to the contrary and went free. He is not apparently dispieased, 1 however. that this precarious exist nece has been closed and clleerfu4Iy

tLEFvT THE TRACK.
Exciting Accident on the West Bound Central Pacific Express.

SACRAMENTO Dec 1S.-The over land express train west bound met with quite a serious accident about noon near Tolwles in Placer county.
 It is a miracle that a number of peo- pie did not lose their lives Two pas senger coaches, a standard sleeper and a tourist were hurled from the track and rolled down an e1mbankment ten or fifteen feet in height.
 It is thought the accident was caused by two wheels becoming broken under the rear coach, a Pullman, and when it left the track it pulled the tourist car with it. In the former car there were about twenty passengers and fifteen tourists.
 No one was seriously hurt but num- Der of persons were badly bruised. In juries were confined mainly to cuts on Races and hands.

Stirring Manifesto Issued by the Irish National Alliance Of
 America.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-The following manifesto has been issued by the ex- ecutive council of the Irish National Alliance of America and a copy has been sent ito President Cleveland.
 .'To the members of the Irish Ma tional Alliance and the American pub lie:
 '1t has been publicly charged that the purpose of the Irish National AL liance is an Irish policy of hatred to- ward England and is ther efere contrary to ithe interests of America. This calls in question the loyalty to the republic of OUT people. We delare it in contro- vertable that no more bitter, more per fidious or more nnrelenting enemy than Great Britain to the United States has ever existed. England has ever been the vengeful foe of American qibirty and of Republican institutions. ImIbued with this conviction and seeing Great Britain has avowed her intention to Itrample upon the Monroe doctrine by her attempt ito rob Venezuela of her territory, and has dared to violate the integrity of our territory in Alaska, we hereby offer, as proof of our loyalty and devotion to the country of which we are citizens, ito place at the disposal of the president of the United States 1000 soldiers, as brave as have ever shouIldered rifle and every man of whom is a believer in the principles and teachings of the Irish National Alliance.
 we pray that the day may soon come when we, exi1es of our own land, shall assist in driving the foe to whom we bear intending hatred from our land"

 Tt is said that General Kitchener and John Wanamaker will have charge of the campaign in the east, and that Senator Elkins of West Virginia is pledged to took after the southern dele gations.
 In New York the ex-president is ex- peeting hearty support, but not an ac- tive one until Morton drops out of the race, when, it is said he is assured of many votes.

LOCAL SENTIMENT.
It Is Decidedly Be,ligerent on the Ven
 eZuelan Matter.

The message of the president to con- gress and the spirited action of the house upon the Venezuelan matter elicit most emphatic approval in Phoe- nix, and not few expressions of hos iility to Americas ancient foe are to be heard upon the streets. The gen. tral sentiment is well expressed in the reply of Governor Hughes to a query of the New York World received by him yesterday. It was as follows:
 President O.eveland's Venezuelan message has created the greatest patri- otic. enthusiasm throughout Arizona. The heroic manifesto overshadows party lines, giving expression to but one sentiment: That the president shall and will be supported by every citizen of the territory.
