NEWS FROM COLOMBIA.

Colon, Colombia, Sept. 1.-(Correspond
ence Of the Associated Press. 1T is true
that tranquility prevails in this country,
but it is accompanied with much anX
iety lest the dissatisfied in the country and
those who were beaten in the recent revo-
luton should again make an effort to over
turn the existing order of things.
1t is well known and admitted that
General Alfaro has among his followers
q large number of Colombia Liberals and
each victory he gains over the legitimate
government of Ecuador but increases the
fear of further troubles in Colombia.
Should Alfaro arrive in power in Ec-
uador, it is confidently expected that his
aid will be extended to the Liberals of this
country to achieve their ends. Anticipa-
ting such an eventuality, the government
here has already concentrated over 1000
men at Panama and from that central
position they can be moved wherever they
are required. Such is the situation at
this moment and it has an almost de-
pressing effect on business. Operations
on the canal continue in their beaten path,
confined, however, to Culebra and its i'm
mediate vicinity.
The number of hands employed is about
100 men. One can not say that much
work is being done, considering the num-
Der of workmen employed. The break
down in the machinery, such as excava-
tors, locomotives and cars and the frequent
tearing away of rail tracks offers serious
impediments.
The strike which commenced among
canal laborers at Culebra, continued up to
Monday last, when the men resumed work
at an increase of wages.
Those who were getting 80 cents per
day now receive go and those vino got
80 cents have been advanced to 81. The
wages of machinists have been increased
20 cents per day.
1t is reported that there are now $50
soldiers stationed along the route of the
canal.
1t is stated that the British govern
ment will grant a subsidy to the Halifax
and Bermuda company which will enable
their cable to be extended to the West
Indies.
The prefecto of Atrato announces that
during the early part of last month several
strong earthquakes were felt in that prov
ince, completely destroying the village of
Cupica, and that all of the houses have
been demolished. Many land slides took
place at the same time, damaging the adj
jacent plantations. Sickness has broken
out among the inhabitants.
The government of the department has
ordered that funds be sent to the victims
of this catastrophe and asks that the
project solicit aid for the sufferers.

TICKET SCALPBRS ARRESTED.
They are Charged With Issuing Fraudu
lent Passes.

New Orleans, Aug. 31.-Barnett and
Wenar, doing business as ticket scalpers
at 734 Canal street, and a number of per-
sons associated with them at other points,
were ARRESTED today for issuing fraudu-
lent railway passes.
The Southern Pacific estimates that
it has been fieeced out of about 1000
in fares, and has had detectives at work
since May. In addition to these, W. R..
Pagan, q passenger agent, gave valua-
BILE assistance be becoming a conductor
and ostensibly falling into the scheme of
the combine, carrying out their orders and
seeing through the passengers with forg-
ed passes. Letters addressed to him, al
though unsigned, formed the basis of the
charge of fraudulent use of the mails
upon which the arrests were made. The
scheme is said to have been gigantic and
was well worked, and the passes could
hardly be. distinguished from genuine
passes. The firm is said to have agents
in allprincipal cities along the line, and
when passenger decided to purchase a
ticket he was furnished with a pass for
a point beyond his destination, and re-
ceived good rebate for returning the
ticket to the agent at his landing place.
In that way the company never saw THE
tickets, which were destroyed by the
agents, and it was difficult to trace the
fraud. The decoy was then attempted
and worked with the success already
stated. After 1T was determined to make
the arrests, the different parties, thou
sands of miles apart, were all landed in
Jail within four hours. Barnett was ar
rested here and Wenar at Covngton,
La. Other arrests We're made at New
York, Houston and Sam Antonio.

poses. A brother of Barnett was arrest
ed in New Orleans in possession of fraud
ulent railroad tickets. one of which was
alleged ito have come from the Barnett
doing business here. Barnett disclaims
any knowledge of fraud, and says the
ticket was handled in the regular way.

Small Beginnings

Make great endings sometimes. Ailments

through neglect, into atrocious maladies
dangerous in themselves and productive ol
others. 1t is disregard of the earlier indica-

basis. Moreover, there are certain disorders
incident to the season. such as malaria and
rheumatism, against which it is always desir-
able to fortify the system after exposure to
the conditions which produce them. Cold,

there can be no rehabilitation OF
our merchant marine without
legislation. What the character
of this shall be furnishes ques-
tions upon which there is a great
diversity of opinion. So long as
great maritime nations grant
subsidies in the form of mail
contracts that form of assistance
to shipping interests will proba-
bly, have to be followed by all
those nations desiring. to enter
into competition for the foreign
carrying trade. Our early legis-
lation offers suggestions which
may be considered with profit, as
possibly offering some remedies
the efficiency of which could not
remain in doubt. With such
fostering care for our marine
interests as was extended by our
forefathers there would be little
doubt of a revival and a restora-
ton of American shipping to its
former standard and glory

THE Oregonian is publishing
the comments Of eastern papers
on the olph-Sch1nidt contro-
versy, which for the most part,
has run its course in the state
press. These outside comments
are made after looking at Mr..
Dolph's colored picture where
this bit of pigment appears:
'They (the court) have mistaken
the law and rendered decision
which no honest man or upright
judge could approve" are just
what the Oregonian knew they
would be. 1t said so at the time.
Then if damage has been done
the state the metropolitan organ
helped the matter along. 1t gave
publicity to statement of facts
which subsequent investigation
shows did not and does not exist.
If a IS, 900 fee is exorbitant, then
Dolph is greater sinner than
Carpenter, for it is currently re-
ported that before the supreme
court had handed down its decis-
ion, and at a time when he thouht
it would be in his favor, Mr..
Dolph submitted a draft of find
ings which he desired, and among
them was a paragraph fixing the
attorney fee at not only IS, 500
but at 81, 900 additional. You
see, IS, 500 was too much for
Carpenter, but for Dolph, 81, 500
was about the right figure.
Wherefore it will be seen that
the Oregonian ought to have
denied its columns to the man
who is no longer the Ict-Dollar

source of additional contests and

be a responsible and delicate

a number of applicants, and a
good many besides have been
suggested for the place. The
name of Mr.. John D. Daily has
been favorab1y mentioned, and
his good judgment, honesty, and
familiarity with the Oregon Pa

DIED IN LINCOLN COUNTY.

l. Last Friday evening. at the advanced age
of 81 years, Lester P. Baldwin died at his
i home on the Siletz. Monday the remains
were brought to Corvallis on the o. G. & E
train, from where they were conveyed to
the Cry stal Lake cemetery and inferred in
the family burying spot. The body was
followed to its final resting place by the rel
/ ohsequies were performed, Rev. F. A.
Powell officiating.
Lester P. Baldwin was born March 80,
| 1914, in Aurora, Portage county, Ohio, and
| lived in that locality until 1868. In Sep
| tsmber, $780, he was married, and twenty
four years later, with his family, Mr.. Bald.
win moved to Michigan, remaining there
until January, 1856, when he started for
Oregon via Panama, arriving in Corvallis the
last day of February. For few months
they resided above town, but In the fall Mr..
Baldwin moved to Newport, and purchased
the claim where the Ocean house now stands.
Soon after his arrival he formed partner.
ship with Samuel Case, and together they
built the Ocean House, which still stands as
monument to their energy and enterprise.
After living on the bay eight or nine years,
Mr. Baldwin moved with his family to Polk
county, residing there ten years. They
! then returned to Corvallis again, where they
lived until sometime during the sos, when
MIR. Bald win and his wife went to live with
their daughter, Mrs. Samuel Center, on Rock
Creek, in Lincoln county.
Until recently Mr.. Baldwin was strong
and hearty, often doing the work of mid
die aged person with apparent ease Dur
ing the last two years, however, he con-
tinued to decline steadily and since the death
of his wife, which occurred August lst, he
broke down completely. The loss of his
| wife was a serious blow to him. Their mar
ried life had been a most pleasant one and
had covered period of 56 years.. As the
years advanced they seemed to be more and
more attached to one another and the shock
caused by Mrs. B.ldwin's death added not
little to Fastening the end, which occurred
only three weeks later. Two children sur
vive them, Wallace Baldwin, now resident
of Albany, and Mrs. Samuel Center, who
resides in Lincoln county.

THE management of the Port
land exposition seem determined
to make it a success. The peo-
pie of Oregon generally will be
gratifed by return to the old
spirit and method that formerly
made trip to the Portland fairs
one of pleasure and instruction.
Mr.. c. H. Dodd is president of
the board of managers, and his
name insures a fair worth attend
ing. 1t will certainly be no fake
such as beguiled few innocents
to Portland last year. The peo-
pie throughout the state should
lend their hearty cooperation to

all go down this fall, enjoy our-
selves, and feel that we are
attending fair that is worthy of
our presence, and that we have
helped to make it so.

CORVALLIS. OREGON, AUG. q, 1895.
EXHIBITS GROSS INGRATITUDE.
A Portland lawyer, Dolph by

A Portland lawyer, Dolph by
name, lost case recently in the
Oregon supreme court. In re-
venge he seeks to destroy the
credit of the state. He warns
eastern capitalists against Oregon
investments, and, having been
a senator from the state he now
1naligns, his utterances are dam
gerous. Their harmful effect is
already apparent, for, not only
have intending investors been
frightened away, but investments
already made are being rapidly
recalled. Dolpl1 bla1nes the
supreme court for this. The peo-
pie of Oregon blame ]. N.
Dolph.
Dolph fully advertised gar
bled report of the courts deci-
sion in the Schmidt case. He
aspersed the honor and the learn
ing of the judges, and imputed
to them a decision concerning
matters that they did not pass
upon.
The New York Times warns
eastern people against Oregon
investments, quoting Dolph and
the Oregonian as its authorities.
In the Oregonian of August 23rd
J. Thornburn Ross says: "Since
the discussion of the (Schmidt)
case in the papers, I have receiv-
ed letters from eastern clients
which seem to show that their
faith in Oregon has been greatly
shaken. This 1 regard as sure
sign that there is general dissat-
isfaction among the men who
must aid in the development of
Oregon's resources, if the state is
to grow and prosper. The ma
jority simply ask for return of
the money invested and withdraw
from the field"
Although Mr.. Dolph has been
retired from the senate, he contin-
ues to '1end his valuable services
to the state of Oregon" Mr..
Dolph is exhibiting the grossest
1ngratitude toward the state in
which he has won his fortune and
his fame; a state that has heaped
honors upon him far beyond his
deserts. He makes a vicious stab
at Oregon's fair fame, and the
prominence that Oregon has
kindly given him makes his
efforts effective.
Dolph, himself, is furnishing
the complete justification of those
men who prevented his re-e1ec-
ton last winter, and he has
ruined any chances Re might
have had as a future candidate.
The fight in the last legislature
was not so much against him
personally as against the men
who were urging, and the means
being employed to insure, his
election. It will be different
next time.
