of the obligations of the railway COM

ing the year just preceding the receiv-

AS, or greater by $881,475 than the
amount necessary to pay the annual in
terest upon the maximum mortgage
debt, and full annual dividends on the

templated i'll the reorganization plan.

earnings for ten years, 1885 to 1894,
inclusive, were $7,563, $50, or an
amount greater by $685. $50 than the
maximum interest and dividend re-
quirements upon the. new bonds and

GIGANTIC LINE OF FLAMES.
Twenty Volcanoes of the Aleutfan Chain
Now Active.

NOW active.
San Francisco, Oct. 16.-The rev.
enue cutter Commodore Perry has re-.
turned from the Northern sea, where
she has been confronted every night
for weeks by gigantic line of flames.
AS Captain Smith expresses it, "The
devils stokers have been stirring up
the subeterranean sea of flames that is
supposed to lie thousands of feet below
Behring's bed, and as a consequence
fully twenty of the present volcanoes
in the Aleutian chain are now active"
The line of islands lying between
Behring sea and the Pacific ocean be.
longs to the United States, and on
them are probably the only active vol
canoes lying within American terri
tory. Much has been written of b.
gaslov island, which has been throw
ing up a cloud of steam at times for
years; but it was supposed all the
other peaks on this singular line of ISL
ands were extinct craters. Now, as
far as the eye can reach from any
point in Behring sea adjacent or even
at distance from the famous sea ISL
ands, the rising smoke and steam can
be seen in both directions. The erup-
ton is general and so very lively that
at night the airy columns take on the
reflections of the fires deep in the earth
beneath the craters.
Nowhere else on the globe can such
a sight be witnessed. In the day time
only the white smoke or steam is Wis
ible. AS dusk comes and darkness fol-
lows the wonder grows. The brighter
columns show up in the cold Alaskan
night first, and, as it gets darker,
other vivid clouds of smoke are to be
seen. Sometimes, when the position
of the observer is advantageous, a
dozen or fifteen of these modern pillars
of fire are in sight.
The show of subterranean force is
the most noteworthy ever observed on
American soil. AS proof of the mystic
power that is at work beneath the ISL
ands, a neck of land has been forced
up out of the sea between Bogaslov and
Old Bogaslov, and the two islands are
now one. 1t is queer looking land that
has taken the place of one of the passes
shown on the chart as connecting the
Behring sea with the greater ocean to
the southwark. The rocks in this neck
are manifestly of volcanic origin, but
are smooth on the surface, as if once
melted.

TIL. whi.ky,Trust settlement.

New York, Oct. lit is stated all
papers of the Distilling & Cattle Feed
ing settlement have been signed and j.
B. Greenhut has deposited with the re-
organization committee l,119 shares OF
the old Distilling & Cattle Feeding
Company stock.
The distillers' contract for feeding
for the ensuing year has been awarded
to Nelson Morris, on terms regarded as
favorable by the distillers' company.
The distilleries will start November
21, with capacity of 10000 bushels
of corn a day. 1t is not true that a
distilling company has been formed
and officers sleotsd.

Disastrous Battle With Pirates.

Philadelphia, Oct. 18.-Pope Leo
has written all important letter to the
Catholic hierarchy of America con-
demning the assemblage of congresses
of religion. The letter has been de-
livered to Archbishop Ryan, of this
city, and to all other archbishops. 1t
was the main subject considered at the
recent assemblage of archbishops at
Washington. What steps the arch
bishops took cannot be learned, but
with the views of the pope thus clearly
expressed, doubtless the American
church will anathematize congresses OF
religion i'll the same way Introduction
was placed on Catholic participation
in the Knights of Pythias. Odd Eel
lows and other secret societies.

S. G. BROWN TO HANG
The Supreme Court Confirms
the Sentence.
THE SLAYER OF FRED KINCAID
All Exceptions to the Former Trial
Were Passed Upon and An
other Trial Denied.

Salem, Oct. 16.-The Judgment OF
the circuit court in Douglas county
condemning Samuel G. Brown to hang
for the killing of Fred Kincaid, and
from which defendant appealed, was
today confirmed by an opinion handed
down by the supreme court. The opin-
ion was written by Judge Moore. In
this cause the defendant in the court
below moved for new trial, which
was denied. The appeal was taken
from the judgment. the defendant
holding that the court erred in refus-
ing to set aside the Indictment; in re-
fusing to sustain challenges submitted
to the trial jurors; in the admission of
improper evidence, and in refusing to
give certain instructions to the jury.
In a motion to dismiss, accompanied
by an affidavit, it was alleged that
Theodore Andrews, who served ON the
grand jury that returned the indict-
ment, was incompetent, having served
as juror in the same court within
less than one year prior to finding the
indictment.
In its ruling, the supreme court held
that the affidavit failed to show that
Andrews did not possess all the quail
fications prescribed by statute for
grand juror, or that he had been con-
victed of felony or misdemeanor involv-
ing moral turpitude. On the question
raised by defense as to a trial juror
having an opinion, the court said:
1.-THE fact that juror entertains an
opinion founded upon newspaper re-
ports or information from other sources
does not, under the statute, necessarily
render him incompetent to serve on a
trial jury"
The court failed to find abuse by the
lower court in the matter of dealing
with charges of actual bias, and the
evidence admitted under protest by the
defense is held to have been admis-
sible. The court stated that it feels
that an impartial trial in the manner
by law was had, and that
the judgment is affirmed.

ABOUT THE NAVY.
The OregOn's Big Gun Ten Tons Heavier
Than "Big Betsy"


Than "Big Betsy"
San Francisco, Oct. 19.-The biggest
gun ever seen in San Francisco, or IN
any other part of the United States, Is
in the railroad yards. 1t will be re-
moved to the Union Iron Works IN the
next few days. Everything is in readl-
uess there for the reception of the mon
ster, but before an attempt to trundle
1t into the yards the trestles are to IN
dergo a critical examination and be
submitted to severe test. The gun,
which is for the Oregon, is heavier by ten
tons than the Monterey's "Big Betsy,
and four of the same pattern are to &C.
cupy the two main turrets of the bat
tleShip. The four terrors will prob
ably grow rusty in the yards before
they are swung into position. The
Oregon has been lying at the dock for
over year awaiting her turret armor,
and it will be some time in the spring
before the last of the latter arrives.
mistake was made in Harveyizing
the armor for the first 13-inch turret,
and this will have to be remade. 1t
Will not be ready for shipment until
some time next January. The armor
Tor the other turret is to be shipped
next month.
As far as the contract of the Union
Iron Works with the government Is
Concerned, it was completed a year ago,
and the trial of the battleship satisfae'
torlly made. The government mas
about $500, 900 of the local concern S
Jy9oney, the interest of which is no IN
.4portant item.
The Oregon is the fifth vessel built
at these works for the United States.
Inc others in the order named, are the
Charleston, San Francisco, Monterey
and Olympia. For this work the SCOTS
nave received $4,000, 900, not includ-
Ing the $500, 900 held back on the Ore
gon. Of this big sum it is claimed that
$1,000, 900 was spent for labor alone,
making an average of $1,000, 600 a
year paid out to employees at the Union
Iron Works.

THE TIMBER RESERVES.
More PrOtec tiOn Needed for Forests of
the Country.

More Protection Needed for Forests of
the Country.
Washington, Oct. 18.-It is expected
that the Western members of congress
will make an effort during the coming
session of congress to secure some
amendments to the law regulating the
timber reserves. 1t is generally con.
sidered that more protection should be
afforded the forests of the country, but
just now it is very difficult to protect
timber, not only from the depredations
of thieves, but fire, the latter being the
greatest enemy of American forests.
Representative Hermann interested
himself in the forestry legislation of
the last congress. In his opinion, a
bill passed the house which would
meet the present exigencies and be a
step in the right direction, but in the
senate the bill was cut to pieces and so
changed that no one could tell what it
meant. Perhaps the two houses may
come together upon this matter in the
next congress.
1t is generally conceded that national
parks shall be established where the
most picturesque spots have been re-
served. The great reservation in Ore
gon, including the Cascade range,
Mount Hood and Crater lake, are points
which should be preserved in all their
native wildness and glory. An effort
to create great national park of the
greater part of this reservation should
not meet with any amount of opposi-
ton. Once it is made park the gov
eminent will protect it as it does the
Yellowstone Park.
