INTO THE JOHN DAY REGION
Talk of Railroad Construction in East
ern Oregon.

Pendleton, Or, April 24.-An off,
River Railway Company said to an
Associated Press correspondent that the
company is contemplating extending
the road during the present season.
| One plan is to build from Dayton to
Grain City, on the Snake river, where
a productive country would be tapped;
another plan, and one thought to be the
most likely to go through, is to con-
struct new line from Pendleton to
Camas prairie and the John Day re-
gion. The John Day line proposed
would be at first built about 100 miles
from Pendleton, in direction a little
west of south, and would involve even
tually construction through to Califor-
mia, coming into that state at the head
of the Sacramento valley, with San
Francisco as the objective point.
The line to John Day river has been
projected for several years, and it has
been the cause of speculation as to
whether the Washington & Columbia
River Company or the o. R. & N.
would be the first to take hold of it.
GOu ny yOul
correspondent informant, it seems
likely that the Washington 6 Columbia
River railroad will take hold of it.
The line would run into country
most productive, capable of yielding
immense wealth in agriculture, min
ing, numbering, stocNaising and dairy
ing industries. At the present time,
the people of that section are enjoying
large measure of prosperity, being
but little affected by the hard times.
Southern Umatilla, Grant, Harvey
and Lane counties, in Oregon, would
be traversed, and the new road would
enter California at the northeastern
border of Modoc county in that state.
Theodore B. Wilcox, of Ladd & Til
toms banking house in Portland, has
been elected as vice e-president of the
Washington & Columbia River under
the plan for reorganization, which goes
into effect soon. Mr.. Wilcox has gone
to Europe, and the w. & G. R. official
intimates that his visit has something
to do with the company of which he
is to be chief officer, and perhaps to
arrange for funds with which to put
through the new John Day road.

NICARAGUA WILL PAY
If She Has No Money She Will
Offer Territory.
JUST WHAT ENGLAND DESIRES
1t Will Give Her q Coaling Station and
an Effective Sentinel Over the
Nicaragua Canal.

Washington, April 22.-No informa-
ton has been received here concerning
Lord Kimberly's reply to Nicaragua s
answer to the British ultimatum, but
it is believed that Great Britain will
debt as it is viewed from the British
standpoint. Nicaraguas' present plan,
it is understood, is to endeavor to reach
compromise with Great Britain re-
specting the ultimate settlement of the
indemnity of $4,000 to Pro-Consul
Hatch. In pursuance of this purpose a
special representative may be sent to
London, who will probably be Cen
eral Barrios, who recently returned
from England, after an unsuccessful
attempt to settle the difficulty. It is
not doubted that in the end Nicaragua
will pay the indemnity demanded, or
offer to Great Britain in lieu of the
$75, 1000, part Of her territory.
The report has reached here from
Managua that Mr.. Gosling, the British
minister to Central America, declared
in Guatemala few months ago that
England especially wanted some in
terest in Nicaragua,::with view to pre-
venting the Yankees from controlling
absolutely the Nicaragua canal" This
statement, it is said, was made public
ly and without reserve. 1t was printed
in the Guatemala newspapers at the
time and high authority asserts that
Minister Gosling has never ventured to
deny it. The particular patch of terri
tory most available for this purpose
would be the so-called Corn island"
the possibility of whose preferred ces-
sion by Nicaragua to Great Britain, in
lieu of a money indemnify, has been
more than once suggested lately. This
island would be of great value to Great
Britain as a coaling and naval station,
and an effective British sentinel over
the Nicaragua canal. There are those
who suggest that if Nicaragua should
propose to cede Corn island to Great
Britain as an equivalent for the "smart
money!" the immediate payment of
which is demnded, this proposal might
be regarded as shrewd move to force
the hand of the United States.
Officials and diplomats regard the
answer of Lord Kimberly to Nicaragua
as bringing the British-Nicaraguan
question to critical stage. 1t is con-
sidered certain that Great Britain will
now proceed to collect the debt.
The latest information received here
shows that Great Britain can at once
bring two formidable fleets for blockad-
ing purposes, one on the Pacific side
and the other on the Atlantic coast.
Two fleets. nineteen ships in all are
variously disposed, but all could be
rendezvoused for demonstration off
the coast.

A California Volcano.

Ukiah, CAL, April 23.-A small un-
named island off this county (Mendo-
cino) opposite Bourne's landing, is now
in state of eruption, according to the
report of an observer. For some time
past it has been reported that flames
were issuing from the center of the isle.
z. E. Meredith, who resides in Trinity
county, and who has been travelling
along the northern coast for some
weeks, passed the island Thursday. 1t
was some time during the early evening
and he was attracted by a. bright light
in the west. The flames were SO bril-
liant that he at first imagined they
were caused by burning ship at sea.
On his return south next day, however,
he discovered smoke curling up from
the island, and then saw it emanated
from peak on the island.

Paul schulze's Declarations.

Tacoma, April 24.-Additiona1 facts
learned show that Paul Schulze's defal-
cations as Northern Pacific land agent
reach much larger sum than hereto
fore stated. The ST. Paul syndicate of
Spokane is known to have paid him be-
tween $4O0, 900 and $500, 600 for Spo-
kane property for which no account was
made. P. O'Farrell, of Spokane, is
here trying to protect the syndicate's
rights. The property purchased is four
or five acres near the new freight house
in the heart of Spokane.

here that the steamship Farallon is to
be taken off the San Francisco Tacoma

WORSE THAN SLAVERY.
Story of Starvation. Incarceration
and Drudgery.

A Story of Starvation. Incarceration
and Drudgery.
Houston, Tex, April %. 3.-R. D.
Hardy, negro, arrived here yesterday
after long starvation trip from the
state of Durango, in Mexico, whence he
escaped the guards of the Mexican Col
onization Company, then braved the
wild beasts of the Mexican wilderness
and endured the hardships of travelling
without money. He was half starved
and scantily clad when he reached here
on his return to Union, Ala, from
which place he enlisted in the cause of
the company from which he escaped.
He is of middle age.
He tells story of starvation, incar-
ceration, drudgery, and worse than
slavery imposed on the colonized ne
groes, which makes the listener heart
sick with sympathy. He says he was
induced to leave home with the hope of
future reward and af1uent ease. He,
with 1000 others, reached the promis-
ed land some time in January. He
says that not single one of the prom
ises made them has been fulfilled, and
that there is not one of the colony who
would not gladly return if they all were
not prevented by armed guards of dan
gerous Mexicans and Spaniards.
The homes given colonists were but
roofess Enclosures, with different Sec
tions in which several families and
persons were forced to stay. They
labored from sunrise to sunset, and
were furnished tough beef and corn and
water bread on which to subsist, the
corn being ground by the cooks of each
mess to whom these rations were issued
each evening No Sunday was OBJ
served, and all who rested on that day
were permitted to do SO without the
privilege of eating. The ground was
their bed and the covering was such as
few had brought with them. Many
constructed improvised roofs over them
with stalks of brush.
They were cut off from the outside
world and not permitted to correspond
with relatives or friends. There was
no railroad within miles of the colony,
and many dangers encompass those who
try to escape from what Hardy calls a
colonial bastial. He and four others
made their escape some three weeks ago
and although he became separated from
his companions and suffered great hard
ships he at length entered Texas at Ell
Paso. He is with friends here, and
after rest and food will continue his
journey.

London, April 2s.- The Standard
contends that Great Britain does not
need to take the initiative in interfer-
ing with China and Japan. If the
other powers, it adds, want to modify
the treaty of peace, let them act. Great
Britain's policy is one of quiet, vigi-
liant self protection. The Standard will
say tomorrow, in leader on the treaty
of peace between China and Japan:
Except in commercial way, no two
of the European powers have common
interest in the East; hence the strength
of Japan's position.

wealthy operator to membership on
the board. Nelson was expelled for
alleged violation Of the boards rules.

Paris, April 23.-The Debats says,
in leader on the situation in the ORR
ent: "The Japanese occupation Of Liau
Tong is menace to both Peking and
Corea. If Japan expects Russia to re-
nounce her policy toward Corea, she
probably has made a great mistake.
Moreover, France will not leave Russia
isolated in the East, and Germany is
not disposed to regard indifferently ia
pans encroachment. Japans' conditions
tions of peace are immoderate. Her
ambitions ought to be brought down at
once. England will incur grave re-
sponsibility if she separates herself
from the rest of Europe at this decisive
moment. Prior to the exchange of the
ratifications, Japan ought to see that a
revision of the treaty is necessary and
effect it voluntarily"
