EGAN THE RECEIVER.
Such is the Eject of Judge Sanborn's
Decision.

Such is the Eject of Judge sanborn's
Decision.
ST. PAUL, May 2s-The Oregon
Short Line & Utah Northern railway,
or such portion of that system as lies
within the jurisdiction of the eighth
circuit of the United States court, will
be made over by the receiver of the
Union Pacific to ]. M. Egan, the re-
ceived named by Judge Gilbert, of the
ninth circuit, some time ago. The
transfer will be made with some limi-
tation and condition named by Judge
Sanborn today, when the order was
handed down. The court orders the
transfer of the property from the re-
ceivers of the Union Pacific to those
re-appointed by Judge Gilbet on pay
ment by the American Loan & Trust
Company of the interest on the first
mortgage bond, which became due Feb
ruary l, 1895, and the interest on that
interest, with the provision that the
new receiver shall pay all subsequent
interest maturing on the first mort
gage bonds as same becomes due, and
If he fails he shall Immediately sur
render possession of the property to
the present receivers. Judge Sanborn
declined to make any provision in the
order other than that contained in
Judge Gilbert's order with reference
to the issuance of receivers certifi-
Gates. The amount of interest due
February l was S447 900. Similar ap-
plications will be made at San Fran
cisco and Portland for the portions Of
the road in other circuits.

WHAT 1T MEANS.

An open river to the sea is of pecu-
liar significance to the people of the
Inland Empire, and The Dalles and
vicinity will soon enjoy this privilege.
At the head of navigation, with a large
region of the interior country to it,
an open river to the sea means that
The Dalles will be an ocean-competi-
tive point the same as Portland or As
toria. This long-delayed dream is
soon to be realized, and then this city
will possess facilities for handling the
produce of Eastern Oregon above any
other point east of the Cascade mount
aims. A fleet of boats from Astoria
and Portland will plough the waters
of the Columbia, and load and unload
their wealth of exports and imports at
our wharves. Wheat and wool will
seek shipment from this point to the
markets of the world, and The Dalles
will be no longer an interior town but
one in touch and sympathy with the
seaports OF the world. This open river
to the sea, which has been con-
sidered q delusive dream, is near
ing realization, and, before 1896 is
printed on the calendar, the great
canal and locks at the Cascades will
be open to the navigation of the peo-
Pile and the Columbia will flow un-
vexed to the ocean. The Dalles
and vicinity will in less than year
be emancipated from the arbitrary
control of railroads, and farmers and |
sbeepmen can float their produce un-
mpeded in barges to tidewater. An
open river means commercial liberia
ion for an empire, and The Dalles,
'eing at the head of navigation will
cap every advantage to be derived
herefrom.

at one time named as prominent can
didate for president. In accepting the
position under Democratic executive
he made the mistake of his life, for he
will be followed to the grave by bitter
partisan hatred that will cast shade
OF gloom over the brightest side OF his
character, and will attempt to throw
discredit upon his purest motives. If
he had died Republican his memory
would have been revered and respect
ed; but acting with the Democrats
during the last two years of his life
whether from conscientious motives or
not-in the minds of narrow party fol-
lowers will consign him to everlasting
obloquy. He will share the same fate
as Horace Greely and George William
Curtis, whom a vindictive partisan
ship has never ceased to execrate in
their graves. Mr.. Gresham as post
master general, as judge and as secre-
tary of state of a great and powerful
nation proved himself man of great
integrity and ability, and the vacancy
caused by his death will be difficult to
be filled by one equally competent.

Washington points to ex.secretary of
the navy William c. Whitney. Just
how far the possibility of his selection
by the president at this junction can
be traced is not determined, but in the
conversation of public men in Wash
ington at the present time the belief Is
expressed that there is no man suffi-
ciently prominent in public affairs
whose nomination would be so
thoroughly in accord with public
opinion, both outside and inside of the
approving power of the senate, as that
OF ex-Secreuary Whitney.
It is singular fact that upon the
lips of almost every one asking here in
Washington for their opinion as to
who might properly be Secretary
Gresham's successor, the reply is
whitney," or ''ex-Secretary Whit
ney," or "ex-Secretary of the Navy
Whitney. Mr.. Whitney is Yale
college graduate. He has been uner-
ring in his line OF social observances,
and left Washington with a kindly
glow of general benevolence, good will
and remembrance of superb Ameri-
canism behind him. He is looked up
on from this center today as the most
desirable successor of Mr.. Gresham.

CASCADE RESERVE.

The Cascade Reserve, lately set
apart by proclamation of the presi-
pent, is great hardship on sheepmen,
and they consider their rights en-
croached upon with no good resulting
to the public. Every one acquainted
with the region of country know that
it is not of the least benefit to anyone
except, perhaps, to sporting men, who
desire to protect the game that roam
through the mountains. AS pasture
lands, the grass on the foothills of the
Cascades is of the greatest importance
to sheepmen who annually drive their
hocks to these green meadows where
they soon gain flesh after the lambing
and shearing season. The Wilson free
wool bill has been source of great
loss to wool growers, and when they
are restricted for pasturage they feel
they are forced to bear double bur-
den to make the industry remunera-
tive. If this portion of the public do
main would furnish homes for settlers
they would consider it a wise course
on the part of the administration to
set it apart for the home-seeker and
home-builder; but simply to keep
it for few sporting men, where
they can spend a summer vacation
hunting and fishing, savors too much
of the royal forests Of England which
were reserved by the Norman tyrants.
We are informed by sheep owners that
this reserve will debar them from pas
turing their sheep on land which is alb
solutely useless for any other purpose,
and they consider it an outrage that
they shall be driven from the most de-
sirable pastures there are east of
the Cascade mountains. There is
sound sense in their protest, for their
vocation is one of the means of devel-
Dpment and wealth of the nation, and,
instead of being handicapped, the in
lustry should be fostered by the gov
srnment. We hope the Oregon dele
CATION in congress will attend to this
matter, and see that the sheep indus
try is not hampered any more than is
absolutely necessary. Every wool
grower in this and adjoining counties
will petition congress that the act set
ting apart this reserve be repealed,
and we hope the next session will take
immediate action thereon.

THE SUPREME COURT.

The decision in the income tax case
serves to illustrate in very impressive
way the tremendous power OF the
supreme court, says an eastern ex-
change. 1t can undo the work of con-
gress, and by a bare majority, as in
this instance, make law null and
void. The authority that it exercises
is superior to that of both the legisla-
tive and executive branches of the
government. There is no appeal from
it's decisions, and no way to modify
them; they are final and absolute, and
all other agencies in our political sys-
tenn are bound by them. In England,
when a measure is passed by parlia-
ment, it becomes the law and takes
effect Immediately, without assent or
hindrance on the part of the sovereign
or the judiciary. The law-making
power is supreme there, and the only
function of the courts is to enforce its
DEGREES. Generally throughout Europe,
with the exception of Russia and Tur-
key, there is no judicial tribunal to
pass upon the validity of laws. Even
in Switzerland, with its democratic
form OF government, the only power
to invalidate legislation is vested in
the people, through the referendum:
the federal assembly or congress can
impose any tax. and its action cannot
be revised otherwise than by popular
vote demanded by 10000 citizens in
population of 100000.
1t is we'll known, of course, that the
founders of our government estab-
lished the supreme court after careful
deliberation and for purposes OF vital
Importance. Our written constitution
makes such a tribunal Indispensable;
there must be some authority to settle
questions affecting the structure and
operations of the government, or it
would go to pieces in the clash OF con-
troversy. More than once, we have
thus been saved from serious dangers.
The supreme court has not always
made correct decisions, as it own re-
versals go to show; but the country
has always had confidence in its abil-
ity and integrity, and its authority has
been profoundly respected. All OF the
South American republics have simi-
lar tribunals; and it may be said that
in the whole of the western hemis-
phere, with the exception of Canada,
the idea of judicial veto on legisla-
tion is in practical operation. The
power to crush laws passed by the rep
resentatives of the people may seem to
be inconsistent with the theory OF re-
publicanism; but in fact, the supreme
court stands between the people and
all attempted invasions of their rights.
1t is their bulwark against arbitrary
and unauthorized legislation. The
constitution is in it's keeping, and it is
relied upon to prevent infractions or
perversions of that instrument by
those who are intrusted from time to
time with the duties and responsible
tiles of lawmaking.

OVER A HUNDRED DROWNED.
An Appalling Accident to a French Emf
grant Ship.

An Appalling Accident to French Emil
grant Ship.
CADIz, May 2s.-The French steam
er Dom Pedro, bound from Harve for
Buenos Ayres, has been wrecked off
Carrubodo. Over 100 lives were lost.
The Dom Pedro was 30OO-ton
steamer, and was engaged hetween
Harve and the Argentine Republic,
calling at Bordeaux, France. She
carried freight and passengers. The
latter were mostly emigrants bound
for the Argentine Republic, or other
points in South America. On her re-
turn trips, the Dem Pedro generally
loaded with frozen meats.
She left Harve May 20, with crew
of 40 all told and 80 passengers. At
Carrill the steamer was to have en-
barked 200 additional passengers, but
on the way to that port she ran on a
rock at 6: 40P. M, off Cape Corrubodo,
on the west coast of Galicia. The
boilers exploded, the vessel founder
ing Immediately afterward.
MADRID, May 28.-Later details OF
the wreck of the French passenger
steamer Dom Pedro are being secured
with difficult. The number who have
perished in the disaster is now ascer-
tanned to be 103, and only 38 were
saved. The survivors have taken re-
fuge in the little town of Villagarcia.
The rocks of Cobos, near Corrubodo,
upon which the vessel struck, is a
rough headland which forms the
northern limit of the bay Of Arosa.
The gunboat McMahon has been to the
scene.

DECORATION DAY.

The proper observance of Decora-
tion day is duty of the American
people. To keep alive the spirit of
patriotism and in constant remem-
brance the heroic actions of those who
periled their lives for the maintenance
of the union during the terrible civil
war the 30th of May was set apart as
national memorial day, and the custom
has prevailed of decorating the graves
of the nations dead with choicest
flowers on that occasion, symbolizing
the radiance and brightness that will
always encircle acts of heroism in the
memory of the people of this country.
AS the years rolled on, and we became
further removed from the feelings of
bitterness incident to the rebellion,
the day became one of general memo
rial Of the dead of families as well as
those OF the nation. But It's primitive
significance is not forgotten,an while
the spirit of rancor and hatred has
been obliterated, in great measure,
both in the north and in the south, yet
the lesson of patriotic devotion to the
nation evinced by those who left home
and families to preserve the union in
the leaden storm of battle will
always be remembered with gratitude.
While the flag is the symbol of frater-
81 n tpiA - 81.
country Decoration day must remain
as constant memento of the unflinch-
ing patriotism of American citizens
in the greatest exigency that has
transpired in the history of the Amer
ican union.
The war of the revolution was the
war of independence, and the 4th of
July is the day for it's celebration; the
rebellion was the conflict for the pres
ervation of the union of the states,
and the 30th of May as an annual holi-
day will keep it in constant remem-
brance. While the south evinced her
bravery on the battlefield, and her
dead sleep side by side in some in
stances with those of the north, yet it
must be emphatically borne in mind
that with every recurring Decoration
day the love of union and country will
be instilled into the minds of old and
young over the silent chambers of the
departed in cemeteries all over the
land. Each true heart will pledge re-
newed fidelity to the trust reposed in
him by patriotic ancestors as he stands
bare-headed over the graves of those
who furnished the brightest example
of patriotic devotion to liberty and
free institutions. No more befitting
or impressive place could be chosen
for an invocation to republican free
dom, and millions of hearts tomorrow,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and
from the great lakes to the gulf will
renew their devotion to the flag and
the union in the solemn silence of the
habitations of the dead; and the beauty
and fragrance of flowers will brighten
and freshen the memory Of those who
have passed to the silent shore, and
who, during the crucial test of pop
ular government barred their breasts
to the leaden hail of death on southern
battlefelds.

MOB RULE.

The hanging Of the two young men
in Danville, Illinois, Saturday. for
assaulting girls transfers the arena
of mob rule to the north, where there
is not the excuse for its prevalence as
in the south. After the war race of
ignorant brutes were turned loose on
communities, whose highest ideas of
enjoyment were the qualification of
animal lusts. Frequently crimes were
committed by negroes which were re-
pulsive to decency, and more particu-
larly so when the perpetrators were
members of an inferior race. 1t is not
surprising that under such circum-
stances the relatives of the outraged
victims wreaked their vengeance on
the brutes without waiting for punish
ment by the slow process of the courts.
1t would have been more in harmony
with civilization and better, perhaps,
for the'permanency Of free institutions
if lynchings had not occurred at the
south; but they may have taught a
salutary lesson to the lustful brutes,
and saved the people from repetition
of the fendish acts. At Danville no
such apology could be made for the
mob who hanged the boys to the bridge
timbers. They were in Jail await
ing trial, and unquestionably would
have been convicted if guilty. There
was no race prejudice, and no fear of
the community being terrorized, and
of unguarded women'being at the mercy
of black brutes without drastic meas
ures were used, as was and is the case
in some of the southern states. While
the newspapers of the country have,
with good reason, censured the south
ern people for the prevalence of mob
rule, they should, with the same spirit
of fairness, condemn the violence at
Danville, Illinois, with greater sever
ity, because the circumstances form no
excuse for departure from the usual
and legal methods of punishment for
the crimes.

Pine Trees ON Volcanoes.

Every one who admires trees must
be interested in the result Of Profess.
or Heilprin's studies of the pines that
clothe the slopes Of the great vol
canic mountains Of Mexico.
These huge peaks seem to have
pierced their way upward through a
mantle Of pine forest, which clings
to their sides up to height of nearly
81 miles.
The vertical range Of the pine In
Mexico is remarkable. It is found
among the sun loving palm trees at
the foot Of the mountains, and it
stands defiant Of the cold close to the
perpetual SHOWS that cover their
summits.-Youth's Companion.

THE EM1GRANr-sH1P DISASTER.
Further Details of the Loss of the Dom
Pedro.

Pedro.
CoRUNNA, May 29.-Additional de-
tails have been received of the loss of
the French steamer Dom Pedro off
Cape Corrobado. on the west coast of
Galicia, Monday. The weather was
fine and the sea calm; but the
Dom Pedro struck on the rocks,
which are difficult to locate even in
good weather. There was terrible
shock as the steamer struck, and
panic followed, especially among the
women, causing all the other passen-
gers to lose their heads They tried to
seize the boats, lifepreservers and
other things capable of supporting
persons in the water. In order to pre-
vent the passengers from sinking the
boat in lowering them, the captain
was obliged to threaten them with a
revolver. Many persons were kept
afloat after the steamer foundered by
clinging to wreckage, until they were
rescued by fishermen from the shore.
1t is estimated that 100 people, most of
whom were passengers, lost their lives.
The Dom Pedro was to have taken on
board 200 additional passengers at
Carril. They were nearly all emil
grants for Argentine. 1t is reported
the captain and 26 survivors are being
cared for by the authorities ashore.

AFFAIRS IN ARMENIA.
Situation Growing Worse Instead of
Better.

Situation Growing Worse Instead of
JULIA, Persia, May 30.-The
special correspondent of Associated
Press, who is investigating the situa-
tion in Armenia, has furnished the
following correspondence:
The Turkish government Is taking
prompt measures to prevent the up
rising of the Armenian revolutionists
next month. All roads leading from
Persia to Van have been closed by
order of the Turkish government, the
intention being to shut off communi-
cation between the revolutionary lead
ers in Paris and their agents in
Armenia. One Armenian caravan
that tried to get through to Van from
Khoe was seized by the Turkish offic-
ials.
Within the past week the Turkish
consul at Sautch Bulsk, in Persia,
tried to cross over into Turkey with
an armed escort of II men, but he was
turned back by the Kurds, who hold
possession of all the roads. At the
same time the Turkish officials in the
towns near the border were chased out
of the country by the Kurds. They
GOOh ECluSC LII 1sdt0uuuSy WntTS Uu0y
are now. The Kurds have warned
them not to return. The Armenians
hope that the Kurds and Turks will
get into fight and exterminate each
other.
A reasonable explanation for this
activity with the Kurds may be found
in a letter from Sheik Abdul Kahr
recently written to his brother in the
mountains of Kurdistan. Abdul Kahr
announced that the sultan had ap-
pointed him to command the Hamadie
regiment of regular Kurdish cavalry,
together with force of regular Turk
ish troops, and that there was to be a
great war during which he and his
troops were to capture the Russian
city of Kars.
The situation in Armenia has grown
worse, and the Christian people of east
ern Turkey are at present in greater
peril than they were the week of the
massacre. The village of Baloolan
has been attacked by 400 Kurds and
several men killed. The village is al
most deserted. Another attack is
looked for daily, as the Kurds have
sent word that they mean to remove
Baloolan from the face of the earth in
revenge for the death of one of their
men. They will undoubtedly carry
out their threat.
