Il REPORT ON CROPS
STATISTICAL
Agricultural Department. Misinformed
TO This state.

Agricultural Department. Misinformed
as 10 This state.
Washington. Sept. 1.-THE statistical
report of the agricultural department
which issued today gives a review of
the general crop conditions not COM
prised in that made public on the 10th
inst. 1t says that in Minnesota there
is lower wheat yield than was antici-
pated, and considerable smut, which is
also prevalent in North Dakota. There
is slightly improved conditions in South
Dakota. AS to the Pacific coast, the
report shows Oregon improved since
August /. Washington grain was dam
aged by hot winds in the western part,
offset, however, by good conditions in
the east, with the berry hard and well
filled. The California crop, which was
largely shelled out by June winds, is
estimated to be the least since farming
became general in that state, consider
able late grain being cut for hay.

THEY WERE BRITISH SUBJECTS
Chilean Government Endeavoring 10
Avoid Responsibility.


Avoid possibility.
San Francisco. Sept. 15.-The claims
Of Andrew McKinstry and the heirs of
Patrick Shields against the Chilean
government are once more attracting
attention here.
McKinstry and Shields were sailors
on the American ship Keewenawa and
in 1891, while in Valparaiso, they were
Drutally beaten by the Chilean police.
Shields afterwards died from his inju-
ries. A claim for damages against
Chile was instituted by the United
States in behalf of the injured sailors.
and President Harrison in his annual
message made special reference to their
cases. The cases were considered by
tribunal in connection with those of the
u. S. S. Baltimore sailors, but it was
found that McKinstry and Shields were
British subjects, though serving on an
American ship. Consequently their
claims were thrown out. Lord Rose
berry, the late premier of England,
championed their cause, however, and
another tribunal composed of German,
British and Chilean subjects is now
considering the claims in Valparaiso
A copy of the demurrer of the Chilean
government has been received in this
city, and the endeavors of the South
American republic to avoid the re,
sponsibility are considered rather re-
markable. In the demurrer the attor-
ney for the government states that the
police records of Valparaiso contain no
mention of the beating Of the abused
sailors. or of the reasons for such treat
ment, If they were injured. Also Chile
objects to foreign tribunal to try the
cases, as it is considered humiliating to
Chile.
The allegation is also made that it
is discovered that the sailors the day
they were arrested drank a bottle of
pale beer in a saloon, and that possibly
their minds became clouded, so that
they imagined that they received in
juries, when in reality they had not
been hurt at all. This statement is
made in spite of the fact the men were
covered from head to foot with wounds
and bruises from which they never re-
covered.

Over Fifty Human Beings Lying
Under the Sea.
A VERY MYSTERIOUS CURRENT
wreck of a Steamship Bound From sgd
uey TO China With 81 Persons
on Board.

New York, Sept. 15.A special to the
Herald from Vancouver, b. c., says;
The 2O00-ton China steamer Cater
thun. bound from Sydney to China with
81 human beings on board. is lying
many fathoms deep off Seal Rock near
Port Stephens lighthouse.
Only rs lives were saved.
The terrible details of the catastro-
phe fill many pages of the Australian
papers.
The following are the names of the
drowned:
Il. Fraser,
II. Smith,
X. Matthias,
Mrs. Loring,
Neil Shannon of Liverpool, master.

gineer.
w. r. Wilson, second engineer.
!. w. Adams, third engineer.
A. Wolstenholm, fourth OIgineer.
X. Manning, chief steward.
Forty-One Chinese.
The accident was caused by currents
drifting the steamer on the rocks in
the darkness of the storm.
Mrs. and Miss Loring were the wife
and daughter of the secretary Of the
imperial federation league of Australia
and were we'll known in San Francisco,
having been on their wav there via
China.
AT the coroner's inquest It was en-
phatically proved that the s,ea.Aer was
being steered all right and that the
only way to account FOR the vessels
striking was that some mysterious cur
rent carried her on the rocks.
The following is an account of the dis
aster by a survivor, Dr. Copeman.

tails the circumstances of the disaster

HUNTINGTON SYNDICATE ATTACKED
Central Pacific Being Starved and the
Union Pacific Crippled

"
Union Pacific Crippled.
Omaha. Neb., Sept. 15.-The Omaha Bee
has a column editorial today discussing
the Pacific railroad question and the
probable solution of the interstate sub
ject by the next congress. The article
is devoted mostly TO the possible future
of the Union Pacific. After discussing the
history of the road from it's inception
and the imperative demands for change
the editorial refers to the numerous eff
forts of railroad rings to wreck the prop
erty and adds:
During all this time congress has been
saving wood. The officers of the federal
government, who should have interfered
to protect the government and moved for
the recovery of the property diverted and
..04O44, awe not lifted a finger. The only
thing attempted up to date is the suit in
California against the Leland Stanford es-
tate. and that has already turned out to
be a farce.
I'm dealing with the past the Pacific
railroad debt congress should as a pre-
liminary step. require the Union and
Central Pacific roads to be operated as
one continuous line. 1t should first and
foremost compel the Huntington syndi-
cate, which controls both the Southern
and Central Pacific to take it's hands off
the throat of the Central Pacific and give
it a chance to do business. AS it now is
and has been for years, the Central Pa
cific is being starved to death and the
Union Pacific is being seriously crippled
by the policy which the Huntington syn
dictate is pursuing.
Not only has there been a systematic
diversion of freight from the Central to
the Southern Pacific, but the whole road
has been so shamefully neglected as to
make it impossible for the Union Pacific
to compete for the through traffic from the
coast. The very latest effort to hamper
the Union Pacific is the proposed aban-
donment of all but one passenger train
daily between Ogden and San Francisco.
'At the same time the Southern Pa
cifc has recently supplemented it's pas
senger trains by new palace coach flyer
which is advertised to reduce time ana
afford luxurious accommodations How
can the Union Pacific be expected to earn
operating expenses under such conditions
unless they lay up surplus to pay off it's
bonded debts?"
Something must be done by congress
if the governments interest in the Pa
cifc roads is to be protected and people
in the central belt who depend on those
roads for an outlet to and from the
coast are to have the transportation ia
cilities to which they are entitled

THE DEATH RATE Is VERY LARGE
The Superstitions Natives Fear the White
Mans Medicines.

The Superstitions Natives Fear the White
Mans Medicines.
Indianapolis, Sept. ia gentleman
Of this city has received a letter from
brother, member of the national guard
at Honolulu. The letter bears the date
of September 5, and in commenting up
on the cholera situation of the Sand
witch islands, expresses belief that the
reports as received in the United States
are exaggerated. United States ship
Bennington was anchored outside of
quarantine and as there had been one
death from cholera on board, United
States ship Olympia, en- route to China,
decided not to touch harbor, and coal
was to be taken out to her. The letter
says cholera is confined almost entirely
to the natives. Owing to their super
stition they are difficult to treat and
new cases are rarely reported in time
for successful treatment.
AS a result the death rate is very
large. The natives think the doctors
give them medicine to kill them If the
disease does not. Nine out of ten cases
are fatal. Infected districts are under
strict quarantine, and soldiers are con-
stantly on duty.

Washington. D. c.. Sept. 1.-THE sec

Swineford's report on the Mcbride

he was not informed Of the true condi-

The Decision in the Yacht Race Unsatis-
factory TO the People of
Great Britain.

London, Sept. 14.-The starboard tack
rules of the road at sea, the right of
a yacht engaged in race to claim a
course free from the impediment of
pleasure craft and principally the earl
of Dunraven's conduct in refusing to
finish the races for that most famous
of international sporting trophies, the
American cup, have formed the prin-
cipal topic of discussion in London the
last few days. 1t must be admitted.
despite the fair comments of the best
among the London newspapers and the
polite assurance of such a power in the
yachting world as Mr.. Ormonde, ex-
vice commodore of the Royal Yacht
squadron, that the American yachts
and yachtsmen will always be welcome
here, that this will not be the case.
There has always been a feeling here
against Americans as has been shown
in all the recent international contests.
Any American who lived for any length
of time in England must have become
familiar with this feeling, which crops
out on all occasions.
A former American ambassador, who
was one of the most popular men who
ever came to England, once said to a
representative of the Associated Press,
abiding to an article in the st. James
Gazette: IT regard that paper as the
exponent of the true feeling of the
British people as regards America.

SUNDAY CLOSING.

Our dry goods merchants held

and agreed among themselves to
close their stores on Sunday. We
believe this to he wise on their
part, as Sunday should be OBJ
served, if not in a religious way
at least as a day of rest and plea
sure.
The Sunday law does not exist
in this town, the doors of every
establishment is wide open. The
legal authorities refuse to enforce
the law, or even to take cogniz-
ance of its fragrant violation; the
consequence is, that those who re-
spected the law were the sufferers,
and in order to protect their In
terest, were compelled to violate
the law against their own wish.
As to the saloons and liquor
shops we understand that the Sun
day is their best day, it is perhaps
the only day that pays these esta-
blishments, and it is therefore ma
tural that these people make an
effort to keep their establishments
open, even in defiance of the law
