Wrongfully Appropriated.

1t appears that several Umatilla
county people will suffer loss by the
peculations Of the late Paul Schulze,
says Pendeton paper. Mr.. Schulze
was agent Of the Northern Pacific
Railway company In the land depart.
ment, and to him Jesse Moore remit
ted draft for nearly 5000 In payment
for some railroad land he had pur-
chased. The draft was regularly drawn
sent, cashed and returned through the
proper channels, and Mr.. Moore sup
posed his payment was recorded and
he had a corresponding credit on the
books Of the land department Of the
Northern Pacific.
1t has been discovered that the
money WIS appropriated to other uses
and letters are passing between Mr..
Moore and Thomas Cooper, the recent
land agent. Mr.. Cooper has sent a
letter requesting that the. original
draft be sent for his personal examina-
tion.
Mr.. Moore Is but one Of several re-
siding In Umatilla county who trans
mitted money to the Northern Pacific
when Paul Schulze was agent, and
find now that they have no record Of
the matter at Tacoma. The probability
is that thousands Of dollars of short
age will yet be dug up and the total
amount be augmented enormously.

Was it the Lone Highwayman3

A guard of the Klamath Falls-Ayer
stage line reports that, on one of the
trips since the last robbery, he saw a
man crouching behind the bushes aud
apparently in the act of stopping the
stage. Suddenly the man turned on
his heel and began making his escape.
Three shots were fired by the
guard after the flying rohber, which
only helped to increase his speed. 1t
is thought that the reason another at
tempted hold-up was not made was on
account of the large crowd of passen-
gers.

The Astoria Railroad

Under this heading the Portland
Evening Telegram says: w. j. Ingalls,,
enc of Clatsop's large realty-holders,
gives an inside version of the hitch oc-
curing between Mr.. Hammond and
the subsidy committee at Astoria,
which has resulted in a stoppage of
negotiations on the building of the
Astoria & Goble road, for the time be-
ing.
Mr.. Hammond has insisted on alb
stracts of the subsidy deeds being
made and submitted to him. The
committee did not like this and held
back until told by Mr.. Hammond that
unless the abstracts were made, not a
sod would be turned on the road so far
as he was concerned. As the Bonner
people had withdrawn from the field
and the Hammond proposition was
their last chance, the subsidy men
men gave In and the abstracts were
made. A meeting was arranged at
which the committee was to meet Mr..
Hammond and the deeds be presented.
All went well at the meeting until
some flaw came up which interested
Mr.. G. H. Page. An argument epsued
ended by Mr.. Page declaring himself
as "not caring whether the road went
through or not. He ha6 gotten In on
the former boom and was pretty COM
fortable.n
TO this Mr.. Hammond replied:
"Well, Mr.. Page, If those are your
sentiments, let me inform you that |
have got In on several deals before
now and am feeling pretty comforta-
BILE myself. Your road Is side issue
anyhow and taking his hat Mr..
Hammond left the room, since when
the committee have seen him no
more.
The Astoria people, however, are
still confident that Mr. Hammond will
build the road

The Jury Agreed at Midnight. The ex-
Collector Very Much Surprised.

Ex-Collector James Lotan aud Seid
Back, the Chinese merchant prince,
who have been on trial in the U. s.
court during the past week, for con-
spiracy to smuggle Chinese, were
found guilty BY the jury last night.
The verdict was unexpected. The de-

way visibly nervous, but appeared
very confident of an acquittal, remark
ing that verdict of guilty could
hardly have been arrived at SO prompt
ly.
When Judge Bellenger arrived, and
the jury filed into the courtroom,
everybody necessary was present hut
Seid Back. He was being sought for
high and low, but he appeared to have
gotten so far away that forty deputies
could not unearth him.
AT last the door opened. "There he
is,n said Attorney Fulton. The judge
took his scat and the jury was polled.
The court asked the jury if it had
agreed upon verdict. The foreman
nodded and handed the typewriter
verdict to the court, who glanced at it
and handed ii to the clerk, who read
1t aloud:
I'VE, the jury in the case, find the
defendants, James Lotan and Seld
Back, guilty as charged in the iDdlct-
ment,n
Lotan sat perfectly still during the
reading Of the verdict. Afterward he
said to Attorney Fulton that it was

CHURCH CONFERENCE.
A REPRESENTATIVE GATHERING
FOR WASHINGTON.
All Large Hotels Engaged -Excur-
sions From All Over the Union
Being Made Up.

Boston, Sept. 25.-From reports
received from all sections it is now
believed that the forthcoming con-
ference of Unitarians and other
Christian churches to be held in
Washington, ID. c., October 81, to
the 25th, will be the largest and
most representative gathering of
liberal church members that has
ever been held in this country.
Most complete arrangements
have been made for the Transports
tions of delegates and friends to
and from Washington in all parts
of the country, and for their COM
fort and convenience in the capt.
tai city during the convention.
The principal hotels and boarding
houses have been engaged. 1t is
expected that every church
throughout the country which be-
longs to the liberals will be repre-
scented by its pastor and one or
more delegates.
Reports are being received al
most daily of large parties being
organized on the Pacific coast,
while from New England very
large contingents will attend.
Many personally conducted eXcur-
sions are also being organized, so
that the sights of New York, Phila-
delphia and other points of interest,"
en- route, can be taken in as well
as the historical places within
easy reach of Washington itself.
The most prominent preachers
and pastors will take part in the
various meetings of the conference,
at which religious, social, moral
and intellectual topics will be dis
cussed and their bearings on the
movements of the times con-

MUTINY IN PANAMA.
Caucan Troops All Wanted to G
Home and Some Rsbelled.

NEW YORK, Sept. PA special
to a local paper from Panama
says: Panama has had an intense
ly alarming hour through the in
subordination of troops of Cauca,
which have been incorporated in
the regular line regiment OF Co
lombia. These Cauca troops are
to replace members of the regi-
ment who have done service for
ten years, but the gunboat Boyaca
left for Buenaventura, carrying
back to their province part of the
contingent and those that remained
vociferously objected. AS they
marched to the Colombian bar
racks they began by protesting,
continued by refusing to obey or
ders of their commanding officers,
and finished by running out of
their line to the centre of the
town.
A regiment was sent to force
them into submission and the mu-
tineers fired. The Colombians en-
forced order without firing shot.
The Cauca men were marched back
into line and all is peace in Pana-
ma now. There were no serious
casualties.

Paul Pettek, who was a private of
the Seventh infantry, United

victim of the new experiments on

NOVEL SECURITY.
Parents Pledge Their Baby for Pay
ment of a Fine,

CHICAGO, Sept. 25.-Mrs. Frank
Selig showed her love for her hus-
band in a novel manneryesterday.
Selig had been fined So for disor-
derby conduct. He had no money
but said he could borrow that
amount if he was allowed to go
out and see his friends. The po-
lice would not allow him to go
from the station house without Sc
curity for his return.
"Here, take this as security"
said Mrs. Selig, as she placed her
three-months old baby in the court
bailiff's arms.
Mrs. Selig then hurried out OF
the station, saying she would not
call for the baby until her husband
had secured money to pay the fine.
She did not return, and as the ba-
by began to cry soon after she left,
it was taken to an orphan asylum.
Later in the day Selig's fine was
suspended and last night he and
his wife went to the asylum for the
baby,

HIS TIMELY ARRIVAL.
A Son Saves His Aged Mothers
Life and Kills Her Assailant.

CHICAGO, Sept. 25.-Robert
Schedule, % years old, returned
to his home last evening in time to
find his aged mother in the back
yard on the ground and Fred. Rel
ger, 60 years old, standing over her
welding a club with which he was
doing terrible execution. Robert
drew his revolver and fired two
shots, both of which took effect in
Reiger's body. The wounded man
was taken to hospital by the po-
lice but he died as he was being
carried into the building. Young
Schedule and his mother are I'M

of an objection by Reiger to
chicken coop which Mrs. Shoedube
was building in the yard. Reiger
lives in the barn in the rear of the
house and is said to have been
very troublesome.

WE'LL CATCH 1T.
SPAIN WILL WHIP Us NEXT THING.
The Royalist Party in Cuba Will
Teach us Yankees a Lesson
After the Insurgents are
Subjugated.

CHICAGO, Sept. PA Tribune
special from Havana, under date
of Sept. 81 says: "The feeling of
the royalists against the United
States is growing daily and the
most extraordinary statements are
publicly made. / hear on the high
est authority that one of the Off
Gals in command said: sWe
have soldiers enough now to finish
with the insurgents, but more will
come. We shall have an army of
200, 900 men here in Cuba before we
get through and then with the war
here overw we will give these d--d--d
Yankees lesson they will not
soon forget
"This sort of talk is common here
and is believed by the people. The
papers now openly assert that the
trial of the Penns Grove filibusters
is a farce and that there is no real
intention to punish on the part of
the United States.
SIN the mean time mysterious
things are going on here. Since
the arrests of the other night, the
papers have become suddenly
silent. Two of the arrested men
claimed to be American citizens
and were set free. The arrests
We're, somewhat of drag net
character, but not one word can be
learned about those still in prison.
/ am positively assured that soon,
events of a startling magnitude
and Importance are to occur in
Havana. 1t is almost impossible
to get at the truth of anything here.
Both sides exaggerate, suppress
and lie with the most charming
indifference to facts and one has to
judge by the surface indications
what is really going on below"

TAMMANY RECOGNIZED.
A COMPROMISE Between New York
Democratic Factions Effected

SYRACUSE, N. ", Sept. 3d.
Chaotic and disturbing to the lead
ers who have counselled harmony
in the Democratic ranks is the
situation this morning.
The action, at an early hour this
morning, of the committee of
credentials was surprise to every
body. Here is the resolution
adopted:
"Tammany Hall is entitled to
recognition in all future conven-
tions as a regular organization and
its delegates are to be placed upon
the primary and other rolls there
of, and in the appointment of in
spectors of elections, the use of the
party emblem, and in every other
way in which the question of party
organization may arise, said Tam
many Hall organization shall
be recognized and seated as reg
ular organization of the party in
New York county; but in the in
terest of harmony at this time, the
committee recommends, subject to
the aforesaid conditions, that the
seating of its delegates, as well as
delegates known as the State De-
mocracy, be admitted to the con-
vention with one-fifth of vote to
each of the State Democracy dele
gates, and four-fifths of a vote to
each Tammany Hall delegate.
The resolution was adopted but
delegates of the State Democracy
claimed the rate of Democracy en-
titled them as loyal Democrats to
full recognition in the party and
refused to accept the offer of one
fifth representation.

A DESERTER'S STORY.
RELATION OF AN ORDINARY IN
CIDENT.
His Partner Was Killed, But He
Escaped by the Purposed
Blindness of His Com
rades.

CHICAGO, Sept. 25.-Consider-
able of a sensation has been occa-
stoned here by the announcement
that Lieut.. William Blow, sta
toned at Fort Sheridan, had re-
ceived a letter from C.. Williams, a
deserter, who made his escape at
the time Private Coffee was shot
in the head. 1t appears that the
letter was received some time ago
but was discredited and not made
a matter of record until a second
letter, addressed to one of the pri-
Yates, was reported at the fort.
Williams letter to the lieutenant
is as follows:
B "WINDsoR, Ont, Sept. II.
Lieut.. William Blow:
AS you will observe, / am not
dead, nor am / wounded, as you
would have the public believe. 1t
is not my intention to remain
either in Toronto or return to the
States. 1t is my intent to proceed
at once to Cuba, where / will enlist
at once in the insurgent army.
There will have some satisfaction
of being a target for bullets, for it
is better to be shot down fighting
for freedom than to be murdered
by comrades while trying to es-
cape from persecution and ty-
ranny.
(Signed) c. WILLIAMS"
In his letter to the private, Will
liams tells remarkable story of
his escape. He says that. he and
Coffee were well provided with
money, each having about $40.
After the break for liberty, when
he heard the first shot fired he
knew Coffee had been hit, for he
heard him cry out. The second
shot passed under Williams arm,
cutting the skin on the left side.
GAS soon as / regained my feet"
he says, 81 made a bee line for the
old fort and hid there until night
when / went into Highwood and
took the train for Milwaukee.
"When the companies were
scouting for me several of the boys
passed so close to me that ! could
touch them. One of them saw me
and told me to get out of sight,
while another gave me piece of
tobacco. When it was dark [ got
an old suit of clothes and then met
several of the boys in Murphy's,
where they told me that Coffee was
killed.
81 am not going to return to the
states, but shall go at once to Gu
ba. There is a company being or
ganized here to go there to help
the Insurgents, and l am going as
one of them. l may do all right
and l may get what poor Coffee
got, but 1 would prefer it that way
than to be shot as military con-

British Opinion of Flnerty's Scheme.

LONDON, Sept. 25.-The Pail Mall

The Gazette expresses the opinion
that the so-called new movement

was temporarily crushed by revel-
ations in connection with the muir
der of DR.. Cronin, in Chicago, and
the object of which, it asserts, was
clearly proven to be Doodle and
not the independence of Ireland.

Richmond Wins the Pennant.

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 25.-
About 1900 people saw the game
of the Richmond and Nashville
series for the championship of the
south here yesterday. The locals
outplayed the visitors at every
point. The latter became ratified
early in the contest and did not re-
cover until Richmond had prac-
tically won the contest. Tannehill
pitched one of the best games of
his life, while Herman was very
wild. When he did get the ball
over the plate it was batted hard.
The Richmonds played a fast
