cROP-wEATHER REPORT.
In Eastern Oregon For the Week Ending
August 8, 1895.

WEATHER-Cloudy and threatening
weather with light sprinkles of rain
were the features Of the weather dur.
ing the first portions of the week,
while during the latter part no rain
fell and the weather became decidedly
warm. The few sprinkles of rain oc-
Cured In widely separated sections,
and were so light as to be unimportant.
SPECIAL FRUIT REPORT-Fruit ship
ments from Walla Walla, The Dalles
and Hood River are the largest ever
known: this Is considered the index of
the situation. Flattering reports come
from many sections concerning the in
crease OF acreage, care of the trees,
amount and quality of the product and
increase of shipments or the demand.
Our correspondent at The Dalles
writes: "All kinds of fruit are in q
No. l condition; apples are nearly, II
not quite, free from Goblin moth and
are large and nice for export; fruit
pests have practically been destroyed
through the agency of the spray
pump" Peaches, apricots, apples,
plums and prunes are very good crops
and of superior quality. In many sec
tions the new orchards have COM
menced to bear; this is especially so in
Union county, and in that county the
fruit crop is placed slightly below the
average, with the exception of the
prune crop, which will mature full
yield. Peach plums are ripening and
are in market. The Wallowa county
grape promises good crop. Owing
to the drouth complaints come from
some sections of fruit failing to ma
ture and falling from the trees. In
Malheur county the shipments of fruit
are lighter than they are in other sec
lions. 1t is likely in this county the
home demand will consume most of
the crop. While fruit pests are pres
ent in all sections, it is generally con-
ceded that they have been materially
and fruit has not materially
suffered by them. The cherry crop
has been harvested. In Wasco county
,he fruitgrowers are setting out many
plants; the acreage of
straw berries will be greatly increased.
Wheat, oats and barley are being
harvested with progress, and many
ields are completed. Harvest of spring
grain will soon commence, but in
many sections Of Umatilla, Morrow
Ind in sections south of the Blue
spring grain, If cut at all,
will be used for hay. The Walla
Walla valley and portions Of Wasco
md Sherman counties will produce ex-
,ellent yields of good quality. In
)ther sections of the Columbia river
valley there will be much small grain
Ind some badly shriveled. So far
here has not been a great amount of
done. In all of the streams
;he water is lower than is usual at this
lime in the season. Pastures are still
Trying and grass is becoming scarce;
or this reason stock Is getting thin.
Irasshoppers are still numerous and

FORCED TO LEAVE ECUADOR.
A Benedictine Sister Tells of Prosecutions
They Endure.

A Benedictine Sister Tells of Prosecutions
They Endure.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-The story OF
| the five Benedictine sisters, who re-
turned from Ecuador t. ST. Walt erg,
q convent in Elizabeth, having been
driven from Ecuador by the outrages
the church is at present being sub
jected to there by the liberal revolu-
tionists, was investigated by q
reporter.
Sister Edwarata, who was seen at
the convent, said:
1--WE, like the three sisters, Gene
We've, Josephine and Frances. left for
Ecuador nearly eight years ago to
establish school there. We were
assigned to Bahia de Caraquez, from
which place we have inst returned
giving up school of over 20 pupils.
We, however, were more fortunate
than they were, and did not suffer
personal violence, although we were
constantly insulted and were often in
fear of our lives. Every band of
marauding revolutionists which passed
the convent cried Down with the
cassocksp They accused the church
of being friendly to the government.
wv WOCho cSo UuO SOhfOho oo
Rocafeurte, which contained 10 sisters,
was surrounded by mob which de-
manded entrance. 1t was refused,
whereupon the leader commanded the
men to fire on the convent and its in
mates. At this moment friendly
Ecuadorean appeared, and running
between the men and the convent,
directly in the line of fire, asked them
to desist, informing them that none
but women were there. During the
delay thus caused number our sym.
pathizers gathered and dispersed the
mob.
"Such outrages became so frequent
that we at last felt compelled to leave
in order to save our lives. as has all
other sisters and Ia = IN Ecuador.
Seventeen sisters are expected on the
next steamer, and no more missionary
work will be attempted in Ecuador
until the revolution is over"

WARM SPRINGS.
The New School at The Agency-Indian
Affairs, Crops, Etc.

The New School at The Agency-Indian
Affairs, Crops, Etc.
Mr.. W. ]. Carter, superintendent OF
the Indian school at Warm Springs
reservation, gave the T. M. office an
agreeable call today. There are $50
children on the reservation of school
oge, but the school will accommodate
only 60. A new building is being
erected at Warm Springs, which win
be large enough to accommodate all.
The material is on the ground and the
foundation is being prepared; but 1t
will be nearly year before the build
ing will be ready for occupancy. At
present the school is at Simnasho,
about twenty miles from the agency.
When the structure is completed the
school at Simnasho will be discontin-
ued, and the building at Warm Springs
will be the only one used for school
purposes. The United Presbyterians,
who have church at Simnasho, and q
resident missionary, objected very
strongly against the removal of the
school; but the department took action
without consulting the missionary au-
thorities. Simnasho is on the north
side of the reservation and the agency
is on the south side; but the business
is transacted at the latter place, and
for this reason the new school building
will be more available.
Crickets have created great havoc
with grain in the northern part of the
reservation: but the pests cannot cross
the Warm Springs river, and for this
reason farms in the vicinity of the
agency are free from the scourge. The
crops harvested this year will be very
light.
Lieut. Farber, Of the Eight Cavalry,
is now the resident agent on the reser-
vation, and he has been very success
full in the management OF the Indians.
He has almost completely broken up
the habit of promiscuous living togeth-
er of the sexes, and In every instance
brought to his knowledge he forces
them to be married or to separate. A
violation of this order he Furnishes by
imprisonment, and this has had salu-
tary effect upon the morals OF the peo-
pie. The marriage relation Is re-
spected, and the Indians are becoming
to understand its sancity the same as
their white neighbors. The Warm
Spring Indians have always been true
friends to the white people, and IL Is
right that all should take an interest
in their welfare.

FORTY-TWO WOUNDS.
Autopsy Held Upon the Assasslnated
Mexican Editor.

Autopsy Held Upon the AssassInated
Mexican Editor.
CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. 5.-An au-
topsy has been held upon the body of
Jesus Olmosy Contros, the congress
man and journalist, who was assassin
ated in Puebla. 1t revealed the fact
that he had been stabbed AZ times in
the chest, and would probably have
been stabbed oftener had not one of
the daggers been broken, the blade
remaining imbedded in the muscles.
The heart was penetrated twice by
weapon welded by a very strong hand
and with sure aim. Other stabs might
apparently have been done by blind
men, so wild was their direction.
Nothing at present is known as to
the authors of the deed, but indications
show clearly that it was an act of
private vengeance, done by men who
so timed their crime as to elude the
vigilance of two policemen who were
in the neighborhood of the street where
the body was found. Both officers have
stated that they neither saw nor heard
anything unusual during the night.

The Ku Cheng Massacre.

SHANGHAI. Aug. Sat a crowded
meeting today of European residents
of this city, speeches condemning the
action of the Chinese authorities in
the case of the massacre of mission
aries at What Han, near Ku Cheng,
Thursday last, were made and resolu-
tion was adopted to appeal directly to
European governments against the
outrages. The resolution also referred
to the inadequate manner in which
China had dealt with perpetrators of
former outrages.

Attempted Violence.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 5.-The first
attempt to do violence to Theodore
Durrant. on trial for the murder Of
Blanche Lamont, since his incarcera-
tion was made today as the defendant
was leaving the court room. The pris.
oner was in the custody of the chief
jailer, when wild-looking young man
rushed from the crowd towards Dur
rant, with the evident intention of as
saulting him. The jailer threw him
off before he could reach Durrant, and
the assailant then tried to draw his
pistol. He was seized by two deputy
sheriffs before he could aim his
weapon. 1t is believed that the assail-
ant was insane. A seventh Juror to
try Durrant was secured at the morn
ing session of the court in the person
of 81. ]. Smyth, a retired farmer.

SITUATION IN ARMENIA.
The Condition of tho Natives Said to Be
Worse than Ever.

LONDON, Aug. 5.-The Daily Ne,rs
has advices dated Armenia, July 20,
which says: The condition of the
Armenians is worse than ever. They
regard Shakir Pasha as their worst
enemy and his appointment as con-
temptuous defiance of Europe's de-
mand. Deliberate persecution,
slaughter and pillage of the Armenians
are pursued today with the same ruth
less vigor and fiendish ingenuity as in
former years. Every day news ar
rives of fresh murders, wholesale i'm
prisoment and pillages. The authori-
ties in the great towns from time to
time march heavily-manacled gangs of
limping and wounded Armenians
prisoners through the streets. If the
sultan is courting revolution he will
surely have his way. Unless the per-
secution is stopped the country will
soon be in such blaze that nothing
short of Russian occupation will ex-
tinguiSh it.
