SENSATIONAL LITERATURE.
The Eject of the "Trilby' Craze Already
Showing Itself.

The Eject of the "Trilby" Craze Already
Showing Itself.
HARTFORD, Conn.,. May 3.-Norton
Reed lies in the morgue here as a
result of the "Trilby" craze, having
committed suicide by taking arsenic
while harboring the hallucination
that he was under the hypnotic influ-
ence of Svengali, the bad man OF Du
Maurier's novel.
Reed was Is years of age, the son of
Mrs. Amos Pratt, who, as a widow,
married a wealthy shipbuilder of
Essex, Conn. A year ago Reed came
to this city and entered the employ OF
Brown, Thompson & Co. as steno-
grapher. He gave up this place three
weeks ago to become amanuensis to
the Rev. Payson Hammond, the evan
gelist.
Reed was fond of literature, chiefly
novels. When "Trilby" came out he
was enthusiastic and read the volume
until he became "Trilby" mad. Mr..
Hammond heard groans in the barn
in the rear of his house and found
Reed lying on the floor of the carriage
house, writhing in pain. A physician
was called, who asked him why he at
tempted suicide. Reed replied:
because that villain Svengali hyp-
Noticed me. I tried to sing this after
noon and he would not let me. The
only way 1 can escape him is by dying.
Do you think he can hypnotize after
death?"
He wanted to know whether he
would see Trilby and Little Billee in
heaven, and soon after died.

FAIRS PRIVATE SECRETARY.
Story of his Conspiracy With MGlaufiin
& Co., Denied.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 3.-"If Mr..
Angus has done anything at any time
with Senator Fairs money, whether
in wheat or anything else." says At
torney Garret McEnerney, sit is not
only susceptible of proof that he did so
with Fairs full knowledge and orders,
but susceptible of absolute demonstra-
tion."
Mr.. Angus was the late millionaire
Fairs private secretary and Mr.. Nc
Enerney is of the counsel in the Fair
will case. Mr.. McEnerney declined to
be interviewed further.
This puts at rest the story that An
gus and his associate, Mr.. Louis Breese,
conspired with McGlauflin & Co., to
make great wheat deal with the dead
senator's money. 1t also taps on the
head the rumors that Smith, the book
keeper for the brokers' firm, who dis
appeared last Sunday, was made away
with to hide forever secrets relating to
the deal.
1t is said that Smith has made state
ments to some of his relatives concern
ing the transactions between Fair and
McGlaufiin & Co., and that unless his
departure is accounted for soon, they
will make public what the bookkeeper
said. All the attorneys engaged in the
litigation over the Fair estate are
anxious to know the nature of these
statements, but the Smith family de-
cline to say anything until they are as
sured he is safe.

A MANIA.
The Defense in of Wilde Will be Insanity
Which is Hereditary in the Family.

The Defense in of Wilde Will be Insanity
Which is Hereditary in the Family.
NEW YORK, May "a London
cable to morning paper says: Oscar
Wilde is now said by his friends to be
the victim of mania. DR.. Forbes
Winslow and DIR. Blandford, eminent
specialists in diseases of the mind,
are busily occupied in investigating
the record of the Wilde family and
preparing diagnosis of the patients
mental and physical condition. 1t is
more than likely that when Oscar
Wilde is next placed on trial, the tes-
timony of these learned men will be
made feature of the defense, in order
to Offset the possibility of the next
jury finding him guilty of the charges
brought against him. The plea will
be that he, guilty or innocent OF the
charge, is a subject for pathological
treatment, and not for the laws of
vengeance. This course is said to be
contemplated by Sir Edward Clarke
in opposition to the wishes of the
Wilde's relatives. Great secresy is
being observed in the matter and
none of those concerned will talk
about it.
There is no suggestion that any of
Wilde's ancestors were afflicted. even
in a remote way, with the form OF
degeneracy attributed to him. The
hereditary problem is far more COM
plex than that. Many forms of nerv-
Gus diseases in parents might produce
in the child pathological conditions
that would, unless checked, bring him
within the reach of the law. This is
generally acknowledged by physicians
and the profession is delighted at the
prospect of this point of view becom-
ing the issue at law.
Sir William Wilde, Oscars father,
was remarkably eccentric. although
almost genius as an oculist and as an
antiquarian, Oscar Wilde has long
been regarded as subject of the form
of insanity called by the French ''folie
ambitieuse" the signs of which are
inordinate vanity and thirst for motor
iety.

FIGHTING IN NICARAGUA.
War Inaugurated Against President Ze-
laya, and Fighting has Begun in

NEW YORK, May 6.-Dispatches
from Tegucigalpa and Nicaragua
points to the World, say that lighting
has begun in Granada, Nicaraguan,
and disorder is also reported from
Leon. Word comes from there that
the followers of Ortiz, Zerula and
Macherro have united to make war on
President Zelaya. The Honduran
troops concentrated at Cape Gracias
will remain there, as it is feared that
the threatened outbreak on the Mos
quito reservation may extend. General
Bonilla will take 1000 men and go to
President Zelaya's aid if requested.
Though the British have left Corinto,
martial law will continue some days,
on account of the fear that the upris-
ing at Granada will spread.
1t is estimated that the trouble with
England has cost Nicaragua 81, 600, 900.
1t is claimed that Envoy Barrios
failed in his duty by not informing his
government that United States Am
bassador Bayard was not seconding
Gresham's views in favor of settle
ment by arbitration. This view is dis
credited by the officials, though not
officially. General Duarte has arrived
at Bluefields. A high official says the
reports of the opposition to President
Zelaya are greatly exaggerated.

The Klickitat Republidan says: ga
surveying party, under the leader
ship of ex-County Surveyor Jake
Richardson started from this place
last Monday morning to make a pre-
liminary survey of a railroad between
Goldendqle and Lyle. Messrs Rich
ardson, Brooks and Byars looked out

ably surprised to find what they con-
slider feasible route without follow
ing the angle of Swale Canyon that
will shorten the distance to Lyle near

ArroRNEY-GENERAL's OPINION.
He Renders Decision Regarding Certain
Matters In Which the People of the
State are Interested.

State are Interested.
The encouragement has rendered q
decision in relation to the legality Of
the secretary drawing warrants on the
treasurer for moneys appropriated for
the support of the different state insti-
tutions when the act specifies that the
warrants shall be drawn in bulk for
certain amounts payable to the treas
urer or agents of such institutions,
and allows such treasurer or agent to
disburse the same. The following is
the opinion of this official:
SIN some of the acts passed by the
legislature relating to these different
institutions, you are directed, at GER
tain intervals, named therein, to draw
your warrant upon the treasurer for
certain amounts to be transmitted to
the agents of these different institu-
tions. Whether you would be pro-
tected and authorized in following the
agents of these different institutions
to audit and disburse the funds set
apart for their use, is a question. II
the statute specifically directs that
you shall, at stated intervals, turn
over the warrants to the agent or
treasurer, for which the appropriation
was made, and you do so. l believe
that your responsibility to the state
would cease; provided all the claims
had been previously presented to you,
examined, audited and filed. It Is a
question upon which there might be a
difference of opinion, and which / do
not deem necessary at this time to go
into. While you might be protected
in drawing these warrants, provided
these claims had been previously pass
ed upon and audited by you, yet I do
not believe that to be the spirit nor
the intention of the section of the con-
stitution above referred to, nor the
legislation Immediately following the
adoption of the same, which provides
indefinite and specific terms what your
duty shall be as auditor of the state
accounts -

Bchring Sea Patrol.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, May A.
Final sailing orders came to Captain
C. L. Hooper, commander of the Beh-
ring sea revenue forces, this afternoon
ordering the fleet to proceed to sea.
The cutters begin leaving Monday.
The patrol will consist of six vessels.
Commander Hooper says his instruc-
tions are to enforce the same regula-
tions as prevailed last year. He ap-
prehends few, if any seizures, saying
that the owners of sealing vessels have
finally realized that both the Amer
lean and British governments are in
dead earnest in enforcing the rules
restraining certain kinds of sealing in
the protected zones. When the fleet
assemblies at Unalaska in July exam
nations for promotions will be held.

POWDER MILL BLEW UP.
Fearful Accil

Fearful Accident at South Acton Today.
SOUTH ACTON, Mass, May 3.-Three
miles of the American Powder Com
pany here blew up this morning, one
after another. inside of fifteen minutes.
Five persons are believed to have been
killed.
The woods close by the mills were set
on fire and burned fercely, threatening
the biggest storehouse of the company,
containing 10000 pounds of powder,
and preventing the saving of the prop
erty.
Fifty men were employed in the
mills. After the first explosion the
employees in the Corning mills, about
40 in number, rushed from the building
and escaped before the flames spread
to the mill. There were 10 mills sep
arated and enclosed by high board
fence. The explosion in the first mill
set fire to the surrounding fence and
the flames spread to the second and
third mills.

Much E1citemant at Managua.

NEW YORK, May "A special to the
World from Managua says: Volunteer
companies are forming throughout the
country, and military aids are going
and coming in all directions. The ac-
tivity of the military indicates that a
crisis is approaching. President Ze-
laya has called another meeting of the
leading citizens.
Yet there is no doubt that settle
ment has been reached with England.
The minor details are being arranged
by Foreign Minister Matus and Brit
ish Minister Gosling. England has
given some concessions, but the
amount of the indemnity is unchanged.
Marines have already begun en-
barking at CorintO.

CYCLONE IN ILLINOIS.
The Town of st. Charles Visited by q
Cyclone and Six Sersons Killed.

Cyclone and Six Sersons Killed.
AURORA, ILL.,, May 4.-The town of
St. Charles was visited by a cyclone to-
day. the old stone postoffice building,
standing on the east side of Main street
and occupied by Mrs. Church as mil
linery store, was blown down and Mrs.
Church killed. Two young ladies had
apartments in the building, and one
of them is supposed to be in the ruins.
The other, Miss Augusta Anderson,
was killed. The falling walls caught
and killed a passing horse, and Luke
Coster, the driver, was so badly hurt
that he died tonight. Charles Johnson
and Joseph Thompson, who took ref
uge by the side of the old postoffice
building, were crouched down to escape
the fury of the passing storm when the
wall toppled over on them. They
were killed outright. 1t is thought
another man is in the ruins. The post
office, or the Osgood building, was a
substantial structure, but the force of
the falling walls utterly demolished it.
Andrew johnson and Luther McCaus-
land were struck by flying timbers.
The former had his back and the latter
his arm and leg broken. 1t is report
ed that several other persons about
town received injuries more or hess
serious.

There is rumor that an expedition

Raise HORa.

The Roseburg Plaindealer says: "The
swine industry is destined to play an
important part in the future of the
farming community by reason of the
fact that there is money in it. AS one
farmer put it, when he jingled $40
pieces in his pocket, that is the way
to market wheat; drive it in on hoofs.'
And while some conservative ones
fear that if large number go into
this branch of business the pork mar
ket is likely to be overstocked, still we
believe it will be practically impossi-
BILE to affect the market by all the
stock the farmers of Oregon can offer
for years. The fact remains that
there is money in hogs Tis more
profitable to drive hogs to mar
ket than it is to haul wheat over bad
roads,

THE CUBAN INsUKRECTIoN.
Rebels Hard at Work In the Camaguay
Regions.


NEW YORK, May GA special to
the World from Havana says agitators
of the revolution are said to be work.
ing hard in the Camaguay regions.
Spain's best disciplined soldiers are
being sent to that section, as an up
rising there would be fatal to Spanish
rule. During the last war some $4,000
men revolted in that district, and
large column once came very near
Havana.
Marcus Garcia, the mayor of Sancti
Spiritu, has sent in his resignation
and is in Santa Clara. No little i'm
portance is attached to this step. A
native of Cuba, and a desperate and
brave leader in the first revolution, he
is extremely popular in the whole pro-
vince of Puerto Principe, where he
has lived all his life. AS mayor of
Sancti Spiritu he has been devoted to
the welfare of the people, personally
conducting all forces in pursuing the
many bandits that operated in that
neighborhood, which he contrived to
exterminate.
The whole district of Camaguay would
blindly follow him should he once
more desire it. He has been sum-

TOXIC, May 4.-Japan's reply to the
protest of Russia, France and Germany
against taking from China the Lao
Tung peninsula is in substance this:
When China ratifes the treaty of
peace at Shimonoseki Japan will re-
nounce possession of the province of
Mantchuria, except that part of the
Liao-Tung peninsula extending from
Port Arthur to Talien. In compensa-
tion for the giving back of this Chinese
territory Japan will ask a largely in
creased indemnity.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 4.-Japan's
answer to the protest of Russia, France
and Germany has been made. The
officials will not disclose the text, but
those who expected Japan to yield ex-
press surprise at the answer.
YOKOHoMA, May 4.-The Russian
warships lately stationed at the treaty
ports have left with sealed orders. It
is expected the treaty between China
and Japan will be ratified.
WASHINGTON, May At is believed
here that Russian reasoning is that,
by the occupation of Port Arthur. the
Japanese will dominate Manchuria as
effectually as if she held the nominal
title to the province. Reserving Port
Arthur as military base and opening
"a great commercial port at Talien-
Wan, the Japanese will connect the
latter by rail with New Chwang, on
the line of the projected Chinese rail-
road from Peking to Moukden, and di-
vert the entire trade of New Chwang,
and Moukden, at least in winter, when
all of the Manchurian ports are closed.
1t would also be impossible for Russia
to locate Western terminal port for
the Siberian railway anywhere in
Manchuria, as it would be easily closed
by the Japanese from their powerful
base.at Port Arthur, which would dom
mat, from military point of view, not
only Manchuria and the gulf of Pc
Chilli, but also Wei-Hai-Wei, only 40
miles across the straits. Nothing is
known here respecting the reported
failure of the peace Publications, but
it is felt that the situation is critical
and that Japan's last concession will
not alleviate it.

La Grande Chronicle.
Sheriff Kilburn, of Baker county,
has affected the capture of Thomas
Goldworthy, the man who shot John
Preston at the Virtue mine. The sher-
iff and couple of deputies overlook
the fugitive at the Horseshoe Bend,
about eighteen miles east of Baker
City. Goldworthy was brought to
Baker City and his examination will
be continued from day to day awaiting
the results of his victims wounds.
A report as to the condition of the
wounded man states that three of the
five shots fred took effect in Preston's
body. One of the balls made a flesh
wound on the left arm and lodged in
the left breast at which point 1t was
extracted. Another ball fractured the
left elbow and made very painful
wound. The other shot entered tho
left side and ranged downward. DIR.
Dodson probed for the ball, but was
unable to locate the missile and could
not ascertain the extent of the inju-
ries. The doctor made another visit
to the mine, and upon his return re-
ported that the wounded man had re-
covered from the shock and was doing
as well as could be expected.

MRS. Grenot badly bruised In an ACCIDENT
at Roseburg.
RosEBURG, Or, May 6.-This after
noon Mrs. David Grenot, of the French
settlement, was injured by being
thrown from a hack while driving a
team down Jackson street. When
near the Deer creek bridge, Mrs. Gre
not was taken suddenly ill, and her
niece, Millie Strander, attempted to
take the lines from her. She sue
ceeded in getting hold of only one line
and the horses were turned into a
ditch, when Mrs. Grenot was thrown
over the dash board and was tangled
in the doubletrees and dragged some
distance in that manner. When
picked up she was considerably bruised
about the face and was unconscious,
but is believed not to be seriously in
jured.
