A Sound Boat Burned.

SEATTLE, June 22.-The steamer
Annie NJ. Pence. running between the
Islands and Seattle, took fire at Sara
toga Pass last night at II 80 o'clock and
was destroyed. T. II. Sullivan, cook
on the steamer, was Grounded, being
forced to take 10 the water to save
himself from the flames. The rest Of
the crew got on board scowlnad Of
hay, which the steamer was towing,
and, cutting adrift, they escaped
death. The fire was a terrible one, and
had enveloped the boat and the crew
almost before any one was aware. The
fire is supposed to have started from q
spark near the boiler room. The
stamer was half a mile from shore
when she caught fir. After she had
burned out, the steamer Munroe came
along and beached her. The vessel
was owned by Captain Joshua Green,
and was valued at $4,000.
The fire was discovered by the watch
man, who rushed to the pilot-housc
and gave the alarm to Captain Joshua
Green, the owner, who was at the
wheel. By this time the flames had
spread over the whole steamer and
her cargo of hay, but the watchman
knocked at the doors of each Of the
sleeping crew, who came out in their
nightclothes, and saved themselves.
He thinks that Sullivan came cut
also, but went back for a valise, and,
becoming confused, jumped into the
water.

Senator Mitchell's Views.

Senator Mitchell being asked as to
the subject of bimetalism, says: "Any
real bimetalisni, except where silver
and gold are treated exactly alike So
far as coinage is concerned at a fixed
ratio, is impossible. believe in the
unlimited coinage of both metals. |
believe neither metal should be treated
simply as commodity, butas a money
metal. would perfer to see this ac-
complished by all International agree
ment. My hope that this can be
brought about is of the faintest possl-
hle character. Therefore, am in favor
of independent action by the United
States alone. | am in favor Of sound
money-gold, silver and paper-each
dollar of which must be the equival-
ent in money value and purchasing
power of the other two. am unalter-
ably opposed to single gold standard.
| do not believe with many that the
opening Of our mints to the free aud
unlimited coinage of both gold and sill
yer would result in bringing us tn a
silver standard. believe in the dec
laration of the first national republican
platform in the use Of both gold and
silver as standard money. By utili2.
ing the two precious metals of the
country as money as the constitution
of the United States intended they
should be, the people of this country
would be furnished with domestic
money which would, in my judgment,
result in vastly increased development
of resources, Our reports to meet our
foreign balances would be largely in.
creased, and as Consequence the an
nual balances of trade abroad would
be correspondingly diminished. The
price of all commoditied, especially
foreign, would also he vastly increased.
II do not belive there will he a COM
plete restoration of business prosperity
SO long as we adhere to the single gold
standard. Of course the business Of
the country will improve. 1t is, in
my judgment, improving somewhat
now. The present prospect for good
crops, especially on this coast, will do
much in that direction, but IN my
judgment, this country as IA whole,
will never realize that full measure of
prosperity to which we are justly en-
titled until silver is re moletized, and
by this mean simply the repeal of
the coinage law by which it was de-
monetized.n

Silver Will Advance.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-The
treasury officials anticipate that the
payment of the Chinese war indemnify
Of 200, O,0OO,0 900 taels will result in ma
terial increase in the market price Of
silver.
The present quotation Of silver is
672 cents an ounce, which is an ad.
vance of cents over tue quotations Of
a year ago. The present price antici.
pated to some extent the expected rise,
and is also the result of the increased
demand caused by the war expenses Of
both governments.
At present there is not to exceed
100000 ounces Of silver bullion in the
United States, outside of the amount
owned by the government. AT the
present price of silver the amount re.
quired by China would equal about
$l43, 200, 900 worth of bullion.

The TRIAL OF sWARTz
EVIDENCE ALL SUBMITTED
Argument in the Matter of the Confr-
nation Of the Sale Of the
Oregon Pacific
Enied.

The evidence in the Swartz trial is
all in. The jury and an audience as
large as the courtroom would contain,
listened all day, the 10Th inst, at Sa-
lem, to the details of the death of Ed
ward Swartz, and the expert testimony
Of physicians, on the operation per-
formed to save his life. The chain Of
evidence surely points to Alonzo
Swartz as the murderer of his son.
Swartz, whise on the stand, testified
that Edward rushed for a gun, and it
was in wrestling it from him that the
knife was used. The testimony is un-
supported. 1t is extremely doubtful If
the evidence Of the physicians will
warrant the conclusion that the death
of Edward was due to the operation,
rather than the stab.
The trial was concluded last Friday
afternoon, and the jury after three and
half hours deliberation, returned a
verdict of murder in the second degree.
The first ballot of the jury stood five
for murder in the first degree, five for
second degree, and two for manslaugh-
ter. The sixth ballot showed them
unanimous for the second degree.
Sentence was pronounced Saturday
and the prisoner was taken to the pen-
itentiary to spend the rest of his ma
tural life. One Of the jurors who sat
in the Swartz case stated since that,
that twenty years ago, he forced
Swartz to put away gun he had
drawn ON his wife.

They Command Fancy Prices.

CHICAGO, June 22.-Strawberries
as large as good sized waluuts, picked
from vines in Seattle, Washington,
arrived in this city Monday. 1t was
the first shipment of the sort.
Representatives of leading hotels,
restaurants and fancy grocery houses
took the fruit readily at prices varying
from So to SO per case, or five to fifteen
cents per quart. Seattle shippers were
notified of the successful outcome Of
their venture and expressed their
hearty satisfaction, 1t opens a new
market for what has heretofore been
considered commodities too perishable
for such Long distance shipment.

the settlement about Houston, he had
concluded to 'get even" for the loss OF
prestige entailed by the drubbing adj
ministered to him.
After the killing, Lawson stood
gard for several hours over the body,
refusing to let any one come near II,
exclaiming: "This is my meat, and
nobody can touch it till say so,'
coupled with horrible obscenities. But
finally a justice of the peace, friendly
to the murderer, with the aid of a few
friends, all Of whom were armed, held
what they called an inquest behind
locked doors, returning a verdict Of
'Justifiable homicide"
The residents of Houston and vicin-
ity had by this time become aroused at
the high-handed proceedings, and they
delegated one of their number to pro
coed to Challis, the county seat, and
swear out a warrant for the assassin.
The sheriff and coroner repaired to the
scene of the crime. The former arres-
ted Lawson, and the latter exhumed
the body and held an inquest, which
resulted in the slayer being charged
with murder "with malice afore-
thought" The subsequent trial at
Challis lasted six days, and the jury
brought in q verdict Of murder in the
first degree an hour after the case was
submitted to them. The usual notice
of application for new trial was
given, but the general opinion is that
it will not be granted, as the judge was
extremely fair in his rulings. Oregon

A Rush for siletz.

There promises to be something of
a rush for lands on the Slletz when
the day arrives for filing. -Four teams
passed through Saturday, three Tues

that vicinity. Those who expect to
settle should not forget that half dol

filing Is made on the land aud an addi-

A Lawmaker to be Hanged.

From advices in Portland, 1t is
learned that Paul P. Lawson, a popu-
list ex-member of the Idaho legisla-
ture, was found guilty, at Challis,
Idaho, June IA, of murder in the first
degree, for killing George w. Watson,
near Houston, Custer county, and was
sentenced by District Judge G. 0.
Stockslager, to be hanged July 26.
The murder Of Watson by Lawson
was particularly atrocious. The evil
dence in the trial showed that Lawson
had lain in wait for his victim, and
shot him in the back, May 10, with a
shotgun loaded with buckshot and
slugs. The only motive for the crime
was that Watson last.' fall, in fight
with Lawson, had given him a severe
thrashing; and, as Lawson bad been

Bandit Brady Still at Large.

REDDING, CAL, June 23.--The lat
est reports from Anderson are that
there has been battle between Bandit
Brady and his plrsuers. Sheriff
Houston came in while ago, aud
stated that be had heard several shots
There is well organized posse Of
more than 100 men, under the direc-
I'll n of Sheriff Houston, watching the

Happy valley, so-called, where Brady
is hid, is long stretch of level land
devoted to orchards and VINEYARDS,
and is well irrigated. Where not
cleared II is very brushy, furnishing a
good hiding place ard plenty of water
and fruit close at hand. About
Brady's camp, apple cores and other
traces We're seen, but Brady was not
there. 1t is thought he is working
southwark.
Tonight large party left here un-
der command District Attorney Rose
to assist, and every young and able
bodied man is pressed into service. So
far, Brady has outwitted them all. 1t
is known that he is not badly woun-
ded, as at first supposed, The mar
shal says Brady left his hiding place
to come north on account of an acci-
dent which made him believe he was
unsafe. The horse and cart were prob
ably loaned him by a friend, as 1t is
known that friends have been assisting
him. People here assert that Brady is
a son Of a preacher named Gilbert in
Fall river valley, but this is thought to
be mistake,
Brady will probably be captured to-
morrow.

H. ?. HAYES ARRESTED
IN JAIL IN EUGENE
Charged With a Grave Crime. May
Also be Called Upon to Answer
the Accusation Of Murder
When all is Known.

EUGENE, Or, June 22.-H. P.
Hayes, of Fall creek precinct, this
county, was arrested at the residence
of his sister, Mrs. Buttrcks, two miles
from junction City, about noon today,
and Is now in the county jail here,
with a charge of incest against him.
He may also be called upon to answer
the charge Of murder before his case Ia
settled. Hayes is a schoolteacher, AMI
has niece in the the same neighbor.
hood, Miss Susan Walker, who is also
schoolteacher. Miss Walker last
night gave birth to girl baby, and
charges Hayes with being her betrayer
and the father oil her child. She went
to her mother two weeks ago and
made a confession as to her condition.
About May l, the father Of Miss
Walker had an intiration Of. the con-
dition of his daughter, and one day
told Hayes that if his suspicious ma
terialized he would kill the guilty
man. May Is, Walker went to work
in the morning about his barn. but
was taken suddenly and violently ill,
and was taken to his house, where he
soon ditd in great agony, having
spasms and violent commissions. For
some reason the Sc was not leported
to the coroner, and Walkers remains
were inferred without any inquest or
post -mortem examination. Thismorn-
ing, when Coroner Harris heard Of the
facts he went to the place for the pur-
pose of having the body exhumed and
an analysis made Of the contents Of
the stomach.
The people living in the neighbor-
hood are very much wrought up over
the affair. Hayes is being held here
and will not be taken before Justice
Callison for examination until the ex-
element subsidies. Hayes seems to
realize his position, and expressed a
wish to end bis existence.
