La 0aScogne Ali Sife.

Millions of people have found them
selves deeply concerned in the fate of
the plst-lue steamship, La G lscogne.
She sailed from HAvre two weeks ago
last Saturday. Sne was due to arrive
in New York week ago last Sunday;
she had about three hundred passen-
gers on board.
When Monday Tuesday and Wednes-
day of last week passed with no It'd
lngs from La Gascogne, grave fears
were awakened, the friends of those
on board were lied with apprehen-
sion, and the sympathy and interest of
the great public was quickened as the
incoming liners brought reports of
storms that were almost unmatched
in their fury
Meanwhile the Teutonic of the
White Star line was overdue. The
opinion was expressed that the leu
tonic was probably standing by to
help the La Gascogne. The lengthen-
Ing delay IN the arrival of the White
Star liner was arousing apprehen-
sion, but the Teutonic arrived last
saturday with no news of the Gas
cogne; nor did the Normandie, of the
French line, which arrived off Sandy
Hook yesterday morning, bring any
word concerning her sister ship.
Human sympathy is instantly
touched when disaster overtakes an
ocean steamer or when the fear of i'll
late respecting one of them is awak-
ened. The recent distressing disaster
to the E.be Is still fresh in the public
mind, and the hope WAS every " here
expressed that a like fate had not
overtaken the French liner. When

Princip,I aud Call 1t >quare.

Inc Union faclnc wants To Fay the
PrincipaI aud Call IL >quare.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE house com.
mttee on the Pacific railways gave a
hearing to-day TO the representatives OF
the companies. L. Ellery Anderson, re.
ceiver and government director of the
Union Pacific; A. A. II. Bosevain, who
represents large foreign holdings in the
same company, and c. II. Tweed of the
Central Pacific presented proposition of
the corporations to settle their govern
ment debts by the payment of the princi-
pal thereon. Arrangements we're sug.
gested by which the Union Pacific would
pay the United States about S33 500 600
and the Central Pacific about S27,500, 900.
REPRESENTATIVES of large interests in New
York city. among them President Frz-
gerald of the Mercantile Trust company
and j. p. Morgan, member of the
reorganization committee, have sent
dispatches advising that the bi authoriz-
ing the secretary of the treasury to accept
a cash payment of the principal of the
Union Pacific debt in full in satisfaction
of all claims upon 1t, be accepted and
carried out by the company. The propo-
sition was formally made by BoissevaIn
for the Union Pacific to-day. Anderson
said that the recommitting of the Reilly
bill by the house without action, and the
failure of congress to give the executive
branch any instructions as to the protec-
ton of the government interests. left the
whole matter in a very unsatisfactory
condition. The Central Pacific's repre-
sentative, Tweed, was not prepared to
make the same proposal in behalf of that
company, but said If the parties who
might advance the principal of the debt
could be protected by holding the govern
ment lien as security for their advances,
the same terms could be carried out by
the Central Pacific. Such security was
necessary, in his opinion, on account of
the existence of liens prior to the govern
ment lien. The results of such a plan, he
argued, would be to protect the govern
ment against its obligations to pay the
skies.

THE BEST IN THE NORTHWEST
TUESDAY. FEBRUARY Il. 1895.
Mr.. Hills Plan.

Whatever merit or lack of merit il
may have, Senator Hills resolution
certainly is not courageous The
senator's proposal might read this
way: 1--WE think bimetallism is the
best thing, we ought to make every
effort 10 maintain it. Anyhow, we
will try for it; and this is notice to the
gold clique that if it can break down
the treasury's efforts for time, as it
has managed to loot the reserve. then
we will throw up our hands and give
gold bonds right along; and you of
the gold clique can then push gold to
premium and pocket all the benefit. "
1t is as If, in 1861, Mr.. Lincoln had
announced: 81 want one hundred
thousand men. | think the union
ought to be preserved, but this is to
give notice that if, after a few bouts,
the other fellows make a sort of stag
ger at it, we will throw up our hands
and call the fight Off"
1t seems TO us that Mr.. Hills resolu.
tion is in evidence of his bimetallism;
II has no nerve. His plan is not an
offer, 1t is not a compromise, it is not
the declaration of principle Imag-
Inc such men as Mr.. Teller, Mr. Jones.
Mr.. Wolcott or Mr.. Morgan commit
ting themselves to the support of such
a sophistry; they wouldn't do it in
thousand years.

A LICH DAY.
The House Did Hut Little Yesterday-Ths
Helena Mint

1 ~
Helena Mint.
| WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE Denver
mint bill was called up by Chairman
Bland to-day and it was agreed that a
vote should be taken on 1t at the close oil
| the session. The house then went into
committee of the whole on the legislative
appropriation bill.
On motion of Hartman, republican of
Montana, an amendment was adopted
authorizing the secretary of the treasury
to establish at the assay Office at Helena
refinery for refining and parting gold
and silver and for casting the same into
bars. ingots, etc. An amendment offered
by Dcckery was adopted to refer the ac-
counts of all moneys due the Cherokee
nation under the early treaties with these
Indians TO the attorney general for re-
view, he to report at the next session of
congress.
On motion of Terry, democrat. of Ar
kansas, an amendment was adopted APP
priating half the surplus derived from the
fees OF clerks of the United States courts
to apply for the purchase of law books
under the direction of the attorney gen =
eral.
An arrangement was made by which
the debate on the paragraphs relating to
pension officers should be limited to one
hour and a half. The committee then
arose.
II was arranged that Wednesday should
be given to the District of Columbia. The
bill to provide for coinage at the branch
mint at Denver was passed. At :25 the
house adjourned.

Through the Senate.


The senate has passed the mineral
land bill for keeps. The bill was
brought up yesterday under a mo-
ton for reconsideration, Mr.. German
wishing TO add several amendments.
These were adopted, and the bill was
passed. Those of the friends of
the measure who represent Mon
tana say that the amendments
added at the request of the senator
from Maryland are not of great &C.
count. The request of Mr. Germans
was met to the end that the bill m ght
be carried.
If all goes well, the house will con-
cur in the senate's amendments 1t is
safe.to assume,thatthes signature of the
president will be added, and then the
people will have weapon with which
TO fight the land-grab ring. 1t is high
time something of the sort was pro-
vided; the railroads agents were GO
ing ahead for the prompt seizure of
valuable tracts of land in the state.
They were operating under rules that
were announced by the department of
the interior.
These rules were extremely unfair in
their operation. They left the miners
almost whollyat the mercy of the land
ring, and their operation made a dead
letter of the decision which the state
had scored in the supreme curt.
May good luck go with Mr. Hart
man in his effort to pilot this bi
through the house of represe natives

The Pacific Lines.

Many tr,fllng propositions relating
to the Pacific railroads have been
brought 10 public attention through
their presentation in congress. One
OF these was introduced yesterday in
the shape of an offer to buy. In all
probability 1t will die with its intro
duction.
yesterday, however, in the senate,
Mr.. Pettigrew went at the railroads
with resolution that is strictly busl-
ness He proposes TO foreclose the
governments mortgages with all
possible speed and to ascertain the
governments share in the bonds and
stocks OF other lines held by the two
Pacific roads, and to protect and col.
iect the governments share in the same.
lie proposes an appropriation where
with 10 carry out the work.
Then, too. Mr.. Pettigrew wants
suits brought against the directors
and stockholders in the Union Pacific
and the Central Pacific, in order to re-
cover from them the stock which they
never paid" and also TO recover from
the directors, oil GERS and stockholders
such sums OF monev as were stolen
or diverted TO unlawful purposes"
Mr.. Pe,ugrew is prepared TO go for
these mismanaged mOnopolies. ham

who, undertake the prosecutions, on
all the sums they are able 10 collect.

the next congress meets. That will be
a republican congress. In all the leg
islation Of twenty years, the house re-
publIcans, to the number of from
eighty TO ninety-ive per cent, have
voted down every silver proposition.
Meanwhile many eastern newspapers
that were loud for repeal with no other
legislation, sixteen months ago, and
that were boldest in their prediction
of the speedy advent of prosperous
times as the result of repeal-many of
these newspapers begin TO take &C
count of what has happened lately and
what is likely 10 happen soon. They
discover, in a word, that, unless Mr.
Carlisle has a care, gold will be at
premium before long.
That means that the countvy's cur
rency will come to q monometallIc
basis, and that will be silver basis.
The aim Of the rich ring that is man.
Ipulating this business is TO make gold
scarce. Mr.. CarlIsle's bonds and his
replenishments of h S reserve are very
helpful TO the schemes of those who
are running the raid on the treasury.

Carlisle has at his control; Mr.. Car
isles fund was 81 496,333 Sunday

The process is tying up gold more
and more and putting added contrac-
ton to the currency-it is bad for
everybody except the little clique of
moneyed operation. With the purely
speculative Withdrawals kept up in the
future at the pace of the past few
months, Mr.. Carlisle, whose option it
is all this time to pay IN silver, will
have no more gold. 1t will be at
premium; and then Mr.. Carlisle will
drop the country to the single-silver
standard. That will make confusion.
How much better it would be to
pass two lines of legislation and thus
unshackle silver leaving it to leap as
1t surely would to its place as the par
and the peer of goldl But the gold
clique is not prepared to have it that
way; besides the perverse administra-
ton at Washington has not yet had
its stubborn way long enough.

You can not grow a paying crop in
a mass of clods in which a large share
of the plant food is locked up beyond
the reach of the plants you are grow
ing; neither will clods hold moisture.
Each rootlet should have it's own little
feeding spot, and its food to its liking:
One secret of successful farming
lies in the ready anticipations of what
each seasons work is to demand of the
farmer, and it is in the doing of many
things out Of season. as some short.
sighted people would look at it. Try
to transfer a part of the spring work
to the fall and winter months.
There is hardly a farm where q
flock of sheep can not be kept with

enough; on others fifty or a hundred.
But every farm is adapted to the sue

sheep, and hat many, neither more
nor less, should be kept

their nature requires. Sheepneed wa

No farm vas ever yet made to do

tory results is useless and sinful, for a
bad state of things need not be in

and skiIlful farmer will make it pay,
and his chance for q competence is
double that Of his city cousin. This is
true, whatever the world thinks.
So often the side branches Of farm
work fail to pay because carried on
negligently. a dozen hives of bees

turn the care OF his chickens would
