WASHINGTON May 1.-THE nine
jusuices of the supreme court held a
consultation at the capital today from
II to II o'clock and there is every rea-
son to believe that conclusion on the
income-tax question was reached. 1t
is presumed that the custom of the court
will be followed, and that one of the
justices in the majority will be assigned
the work ofpreparing the opinion of the
court. The justices in the minority
may each write separate dissent, or
not, as each individually prefers. The
consultations are held in secret, and
no announcement of the confusion
reached is ever made prior to the
PRONUNCIATION from the bench, but
some circumstances connected. with
the session rather point to the vote of
Justice jackson having been cast in
favor of the constitutionality of the
law. The principal reason for this
statement is the fact that after consul
tation of all the members of the court,
private conference was had between
Justice White, Harlan and Brown, all
in favor of the law at the previous
hearing, and Justice Jackson. Chief
Justice Fuller, who favored upholding
the law in part, was not present. The
manner of Justices Harlan and White,
the most strenuous supporters of the
law in the previous conferences, also
lead to the inference that they felt
they were in the majority. 1t
is regarded as almout certain that
the decision will be announced when
the court reassembles May 20.

FIGHTING IN CUBA

WASHINGTON, May 10.-Large op
portunities for the introduction O.
American machinery and the invest
ment of American capital are offered
by the peace agreement Japan has just
effected with China, A provision is
made that China shall hereafter be
open to the introduction of all forms
of modern machinery, and that such
machinery shall be admitted free of
duty.
Modern tools are included under the
head OF machinery and mechanical de-
vices, so the American plow and other
implements and tools will enter China
free of duty. 1t is stated cotton ma
chinery will be brought at once into
extensive use, thus enlarging the de-
mand for the raw cotton of the south
ern states. The Chinese use so much
cotton that the emperor granted q
monopoly of using cotton machinery
to the viceroy of the southern pro-
vinces of China. He has since pro-
duced large quantities and has pre-
vented the British and Americans at
Shanghai and elsewhere from using
similar machinery. Now, however,
the viceroy's monopoly is at an end
and American machinery is expected
to be freely introduced there.
The privileges secured by Japan are
enjoyed by the world at large, as the
most favored nation clause compels
China to give other countries the same
fayors extended to japan:

BLUE BUCKET MINES.
An Old Pioneer Who stin Hopes to Dis

An Old Pioneer Who stin Hopes to Dis
cover These Rich Deposits.
In conversation with an old pioneer
yesterday who arrived in Oregon in
1845 we learn that his faith has not
abated in eventually finding what has
been termed by those immigrants who
took the Meek Cut-Off the Blue
Bucket mines. He recollects well
while passing through dry gulch of
picking up the bright yellow chunks
OF some kind of mineral, and SAYS that
a bucketful could easily be procured.
When they camped at night they took
the nuggets out of their pockets and
beat them between stones and proved
they were perfectly malleable. But
they did, not know where they were,
winter was approaching and they were
anxious to reach the settlements.
Weary and footsore, with sickness and
death as constant visitors, they had
little inclination to think about gold;
and their only desire was to reach the
Willamette valley and rest after their
toilsome journey There are certain
which our informant dis
cerned in the. Harney country few
years ago, and some day he calculates
to spend some time in locating the
spot where the precious metal covered
the ground in as great profusion as
pebbles do rocky beach.

TRAGEDY IN MISSOURI.
State Senator Morrissey Killed by His
Mistress.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May Estate Sen
ator Peter r. Morrissey was shot and
instantly killed at 3;3Q this morning by
Maud Lewis, his mistness. He was
asleep when shot. The woman had
been mentally unbalanced some time,
according to the statements of her
neighbors.
The first intimation the neighbors
had OF the tragedy was the woman g
screams, They ran in and found her
In frenzy OF grief and terror. bowling
over the body and crying on Pete"
to come back.
Two shots were fred. one entering
the mouth, the other penetrating the
brain through the left eye.
The woman, whose rawlings became
more violent and desperate every min
ute, was sent to the city hospital.
MOrrissey was born in ST. Louis,
August IA, 1859, and educated at st.
Louis university. In 1885 he was
elected to the municipal assembly, and
of the Missouri state senate, elected
OF saloon and lodging.house keeper.
Maud Lewis, 25 years old, was born
and reared In st. Louis, and Ia OF q
good family. She was in the city hos
pital form August % to September 10,
last year, suffering from hysteria.
Morrissey was notorious as a crooked
worker at the polls. Ten years ago he
was indicted for ballot-box stuffing,
but the influence of the leaders of his
party kept him out Of the panitentlary.

Cubans In Key West.

New YoRK,-A special from Key
West says: An excited movement has
been noticed among the prominent
Cubans in this city. 1t was reported
by Cuban leaders here that upward of
100 carrier pigeons will be used by
filibustering expeditions. Two prom
inent young Cubans arrived in this
city Saturday on the MaScotte from
Havana. One is son of Fabio Friere,
a leading member of the homerule
party in Camagya, and the other is
Silvestero Angedo. 1t is rumored they
will join an expedition from some point
in Florida. The governor has COM
mittees collecting funds from business
men and others in Havana. They only
collected $50 in two days. Several sus-
picious-looking vessels are reported off
Pinos del Rio and Santiago. It is sup
posed they are landing expeditions and
arms.

JAPAN AND THE CANAL.
Negotiations Pending for a Treaty With
Nicaragua,

Negotiations Pending for Treaty With
Nicaragua,
Toxic, May l2.-The recent achieve
ments of Japan have led her to turn
her attention to securing a treaty with
Nicaragua, in which she would secure
marked privileges in the Nicaraguan
canal. The subject has been under con-
sideration at Washington between DIR.
Guzman, representing Nicaragua, and
the representatives of Japan. At .one
time the basis of q treaty seemed to
have beenreached. DIR. Guzman feared,
however, that the United States might
have cause to object in privileges be-
ing accorded to Japan. This objection
was met by the representatives of
japan by proposition that Japan
should receive the same privileges as
the countries with which Nicaragua
has treaties, except the United States,
it being expressly recognized that the
United States is entitled to superior
advantages because of proximity to
Nicaragua. The negotiations stopped
at this point, and the treaty has not as
yet been concluded, nor is it being
further urged for the present, although
no doubt exists among officials that q
satisfactory treaty viii be made, giving
Japan privileges in the canal com
mensurate with her growing power as
a military and commercial nation.

Gomez quickly recovered from the
first onslaught. While small force
kept up the conflict with the forces Of

The regiment from Cadiz, it Is said,

NEW YORK, May 10.-A special to

World correspondent interviewed Cen

is not dead after all, had q sharp en-

The SpaIiards were attacked from

The Sprniards admit loss of l6 killed
and several officers wounded, Accord
ing to letter just received by General
Maceo from his brother, the Spaniards
suffered severely. The Cubans used
their machetes with deadly effect when
the Spanish soldiers had fired away
their ammunition.
Maceo placed his men in position in
thickets along the bank of the Hondo,
which at that point is a stream about
80 feet wide, Colonel B9sch apppoaeh:

HORSE FLESH.
This New Article of Food Being Intr,

This New Article of Food Being Intro
duced Into Oregon.
The fact has just dawned upon the
people Of this vicinity that horse meat
has been canned and, to some extent,
eaten in this state for some time, and
there are signs of q revolution in the
matter Of diet. Men who have been
flesh-esters for long years, and have
fed and fattened on the carcasses of
dead animals, have come to the conclu
sion that the Deity did not ,create one
animal to be killed and devoured by
another. They say that vegetables are
the only digestible food, and that here
after they will never touch any
meat within the enclosures of
cans. Vegetarianism is becoming
quite popular, and IL the mania
spreads the receipts of our city mar
kets will be materially decreased.
Who knows but that nice dish of savory
meat eaten yesterday or Sunday was
roaming the bunch grass hills of
Eastern Oregon few weeks ago in the
shape of a live, kicking cayuse, who
was led to the slaughter, afterwards
quartered, cooked and then soldered
Into q can for the retail trade. The
horse is a very cleanly animal, and, in
every way more wholesome for food
than the greasy, filth-devouring hog.

THE EXCURSION.
A Very Enjoyable Excursion to the Locks
Yestertiay. So, -

n very enjoyable Excurtion 20 tne LOCKE
Yesterday.
Yesterday was all that could be de-
sired for picnic, and at s o'clock the
Regulator left her wharf in this city
for Cascade Locks with about 300 pas
sengers on board. There were several
who would have gone; but the carry.
ing capacity of the boat was complete,
and no more could be taken. The run
was made in about two hours and q
hall, and the visitors found the grounds
prepared for the occasion, and swings
and dancing platform erected. At the
landing the excursionists were met by
a brass band from the Locks, which,
together with that of the Orchestra
Union, furnished delightful music dur.
ing the day. The hours were spent
very enjoyably in viewing the govern
ment works, dancing and amusements,
and at 8 o'clock last evening the Reg,t-
lator landed at her wharf, without any,
unpleasant feature to the days enter
tainment. The Orchestra Union band
discoursed music going and coming,
and added greatly to the enjoyment Of
the excursion. Too much praise can
not be given to the residents OF the,
Locks for the perfect preparations
they made for the entertainment OF
the excursionists. At great labor and
expense they made the grounds
suitable, and had constructed an ele-
CANT dance platform and placed large
swings in the forest trees.

May Cause His Resignation, and Dickin.
son may Fill the Vacancy.
WASHINGTON, May lit can be
stated on the authority of one at the
parties directly concerned that the re,
ports of a change in the head of the
state department., in which Secretary
Gresham will hs succeeded by Don M.
Dickinson, are not within the range OF
possibility provided Gresham's health
improves, as is expected. Should his
health compel his Withdrawal front he
cabinet later, Dickinson doubtless
might be asked to accept the office.
Present reports, however, are based
on the fact that Tuesday last Dickin-
son attended the cabinet meeting in an
informal capacity, as his personal
relations with the president are such
that he frequently joins the cabinet
circle. At that time Secretary Gres-
ham was absent, his place being taken
by Assistant Secretary of State Uhl,
formerly Of Michigan, and one Of
Dickinson's iatimates. In this con-
leotion 1t Is recalled that a cabinet
portfolio was at the disposal of Dick
inson when the presidents cabinet was
formed, and had he accepted 1t would
have been as secretary of state. Sub
sequently he was commissioned by
Cleveland to go to Chicago and invite
Judge Gresham to take the secretary
ship of state.

Tho Prune Industry.


According to the Rural North,Oest
Clackamas county has about 500 acres
of prune orchards of bearing age;
Douglas, HOO; Marion, $500; Yamhill,
5000; Lane about 400; Benton, $50;
Multnomah, $50; Umatilla, $50; Polk,
$50; ;Wasco, 200; jackson, 200; WASH
ington, $50; Union, 100; and Josephine
Columbia, Lincoln, Coos and Curry
about $50 acres in the aggregate.
There are, in all, over 5000 acres of
prune orchards of bearing age in Ore
gon. There are also several thousand
acres of four-year-old prune orchards
not included above, but which will
materially add to the total output of
fruit. A good crop will this year
mean, therefore, an output OF 5000, 600
to 10, ,OO0, 600 pounds of cured prunes In
Oregon. Linn county is not mem
toned at all; but probably has over
200 acres.

Spain Must Send More Troops to Cuba. as
the Revolution Displays Activity.
NEW YORK, May 13.-A special to
the World from Santiago de Cuba,
says: The situation in Cuba has
changed. There is continued exodus
OF white Cubans from Santiago now,
whereas up to week ago the report of
numerous departures for the field were
incorrect, Nearly 1000 members Of
the Fial Armonfca and San Carlos
Clubs, have gone into the country.
The governor of the islands Is alarmed,
but Is decided as to the expediency Of
sending to Spain for more troops.
General Salciedo thinks it useless to
bring over any more raw, ,unacclimated
1evies until the season changes.
It is proposed to call out those Spanish
ex-soldiers who have served their
time In the Oarmy, being given dis
charge papers, and enlisted In Cuba.
Several thousand men can be obtained
in this manner.
General Maceo has nearly 5000 men
at Barnabacoa plantation, two leagues
from Songo. All the Spanish troops at
the latter place were sent to San Luis,
which was threatened with a raid.
One thousand Spanish soldiers left
San Luis last night for General
Maceo: They went in the direction
of Palma.

The strawberry crop.

Hood River Glacier: Willis Brown,
manager of the Oregon Fruit Union,
was in Hood River Wednesday. He
was on his return from trip to East
ern Oregon and Idaho. The state
union will handle strawberries from
points in the Inland Empire besides
Hood River as follows: Walla Walla,
Milton, Cove, La Grande, Payette and
Boise City. Mr.. Brown estimates the
output from these points, including
Hood River, will reach 100, 1000 crates
this season. He is much encouraged
by the prospects for prices.
