Grover Cleveland never showed
himself to so poor advantage as a
statesman, and especially financier,
as when he permitted the sale of per
cent bonds for S1.O415. The same
bonds are now selling in open market
for almost S1.20,a loss of more than 15
per cent in less than a months time.
Those with whom the bond trade was
made clear from eight to ten million
dollars out of the transaction. The
President might have been sincere,
but himself and Secretary Carlisle
were terribly ignorant of the financial
condition of things, as they were
sadly "buncoed" by the syndicate
who took the job of furnishing the
gold.

Never before has Louisiana expert
enced such a blizzard of ruin and des
olation brought upon her by her po-
litical allies and friends (?), who
have shamelessly betrayed her inter

fered, secure the interests of the peo
pie they had sworn to protect, but
frittered away the rights of their con-
stituents till they have lost 100000

IN THE REPUBLICS SOUTH OF US
Ravages Of Yellow FcVer-New EXtradi-
ton Treaty Required.

City Of Mexico, Aug. n.-Great ap-
prehension is felt in all the west coast
ports regarding the continued ravages
of yellow fever in Central American
seaports. All vessels recently arriving
from Central America have been treat
ed as suspicious Two persons Of the
% injured in the Tehauntepcc railway
accident have died. The road is new
and the track not altogether in good
condition,
Much interest is felt here regarding
the truth of the alleged interview with
United States Minister Ransom, teIe-
graphed from Washington to the Globe
Democrat, in which Ransom is quoted
as saying q new eXtraditiOn treaty is
required III order to prevent embeZ-
zlers from the United States escaping
eXtraditlon by using money among
Mexican authorities. If Ransom is cor
rectly reported, he will probably be re-
garded here as persona non grata,
the alleged utterance being q direct
attack on the highest functi0naries, for
whom, while here, Ransom expressed
esteem. 1t is believed here that the
minister was misCepresented.

eANNOCKS ARE KILLING MORE DEER
Owyhee County Settlers Wan Idaho
Game Laws Enforced.

Boise, Aug. 1.-Word comes from
Owyhee county, this state, that the
Banock Indians recently returned from
Jackson Hole are drifting into the Ju-
niper country, and also that the Duck
valley Indians are joining them there.
The Indians go there to kill deer for
their hides Last fall there was much
trouble over the matter but serious
difficulty was ayerted by the Indians
being called home. They took out
about 100 deer hides at that time. The
settlers are determined that the opera
tons shall not be repeated. They say
that If the Indians are to hunt there
the government will have to send
troops to protect them (the Indians)
while they do SO.
While 1t is not likely that any scare
will be caused, there may be real diff
Guilty If the settlers information about
the movements of Indians is correct.
The situation is complicated by Agent
TetOr's loud insistance upon the right
Of the Indians to hunt wherever they
please on government land. Hereto
fore, wherever the Bannocks have been
found slaughtering game in this state,
the authorities have cO-Operated In
getting them back to the reservation,
but since Agent Tetors recent proclaim
atoms respecting the Indians hunting
rights, it Is feared it will be more diff
ficult to get them out of the localities
in which the settlers are determined
they shall not remain.

ILLINOIS is IN THE SILVER FRANKS
Democratic Leaders Assert That Gold
Man Has No Show There.

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 12.-SeCretary
of State Hinrichsen, chairman of the
democratic state central committee,
speaking of the national conference of
silver men to be held in Washington
August ID, said today that Illinois
would be represented by a large delega-
ton Of leading and influential demo
Gratis. The free silver feeling is strong
er in this state, he said, than at the
time of the free silver convention. The
gold democrats, he says, could not car
ry a single county in the state. A free
silver democrat, according to his no
ton, will be nominated in the Eigh-
teenth district to succeed Mr.. Roman.
Mr.. HinriChsen refers rather CauStic-
ally to Mr.. Gable of the Rock Island
and United States Senator Palmer. He
said:
I'm regard to the attempt of Mr.. Ca
BILE to organize the gold forces in the
state, | am informed that Mr.. Gable
belongs to that class Of men who in
Illinois are big in Washington, and in
Washington are big in Illinois. l am
satisfied that he and Senator Palmer
and other administration men from
this state have never fairly reported
the true situation to the president.
We have only one paper in Chicago
calling itself democratic, and it is
controlled by the administration at
Washington
"As to the coming elections in Him
dis" he said, 'IllinOis will send free
silver delegation to the national con-
Vention, and on a free silver platform
we can carry the state by $4,000 major
ity, while on a gold platform we will |
be as badly beaten as we were last |

TO CONCEAL CRIME
The Pendeton Fire Said to Have
Been of Inoendary Origin.
EVIDENCES OF A CRIME
George Clacking Of Cascakc Locks.
known 10 Have Money, One
Of the Victims.

Pendleton, Or, Aug. "A mystery
dark and deep, pregnant with serious
consequences to some persons, envelops
the Transfer hotel fire. How it started
is a question not satisfactorily an
Swered but the conviction is forced
that some merciess tiend to cover his
own dark deeds applied the torch
which caused the death of four human
beings and injuries to others.
The investigation, though quiet, Is
searching and trails Of the criminal
are being closely followed.
Hints OF robbery and possible muder
before the fire and then the crime of
arson to destroy the tracks are given
out. but they are only hints.
Rees Haycock, the hotel proprietor,
is free from a breath of suspicion and
has the confidence of this community,
but some of the guests are under sur
vctlIance and if the clues hold good
startling developments are expected
All the MISSING persons are now ac-
counted for. The night clerk has ascer-
tanned that he wrote u. y. Tailor" for
-. d. Tilton." Triton has been found,
so this eliminates the name Of Tailor
from the affair. 1t leaves only four
missing and four bodies recovered.
The facts relating to all but one have
been asCertained. William Stevenson
can not be traced to any town, SO his
antccedents are entirely unknown. To
day a SpOkcsman-RevieW representa-
tive found Valise in the express office
shipped from Cascade Locks TO George
III. Clacking at Pendleton. In the va
lise were found envelopes on which
Clackings name was addressed. BY
No rt,,,r Ia cd
that Clacking was secretary of the
Elks lodge at Cascade Locks and
ruember of the knights of Pythias
lodge at the same city. He was prom
inent young man and was employed by
Day Brothers, government contractors.
James Graham who came to Pendleton
with CIacking, says the latter had
plenty of money and was looking for
business location to invest his capital
Clacking was about to dress himself
well so as to present a goOd appearance,
as he made his inquiries from business
men and banks, but Graham advised
him to go in cheap clothing so as not
to make anyone think he had money
and so avoid being robbed. That night
che hotel burned and ClaCking met his
death perhaps, say the officers of the
law, being robbed first by the same ones
who set the fire. This is the trend OF
the evidence. Considerable excitement
was occasoned by the fact that the
authorities have been following a clue
as to whether murder was committed.
A woman who was carried out during
the fire asserted that she saw a man
lying in a pool of blood, dead or dying.
The statement at first was not believed,
hut in view of such strong conviction
that someone was murdered before the
are. the story is now thought not i'm
probable.

Primitive Fire Engines.

From the fnliauclpnla inquirer.
The Oldest known fire engine for pumping
water is probably the one mentioned in the
Spiritalia of Hero, about $50 B. c. This en-
CINE, it Is said was contrived with two
single acting pumps, with single beam
pivoted between the two for working the
plungers. The streams of water united in
a single discharge pipe and passed up
through trough having an air chamber,
and out of nozzle which might be turned
in any direction. as desired. Fire engines
appear also to have been used extensively
by the early Romans, who Furthermore or
ganized regular fire brigades.
In the early part of the sixteenth century
a fire engine known as water syringe"
was introduced, which. in a measure. re-
sembed the modern forms of fire engines.
This was mounted on wheels and the water
was poured by levers. This form of engine
was very generally used In Germany. In
England, about the same time large brass
syringes were used. These held several
quarts of water, and were operated by
three men, two of them holding the syringe
at each side with one hand and directing
the nozzle with the other. while the third
operated the plunger. 1t was necessary,
after having discharged the water from the
syringe to refill it from well or cistern
near the fire or from buckets. The syringes
were later fixed to portable tanks of water.
The first successful fire engine was prob
ably the Newsham engine, and this was
the pioneer of manually operated fire en-
gines. The pumps in these engines were
built on many different designs, but in most
cases they were operated by levers. Fire
engines similar in form to the Newsham
engine were in use up to the year 1850.

FARRAGUT STORY DENIED.
Capt. SIade Says That the Admiral

Capt. Slade Says That the Admiral
Was Not Lashed to the. Mast.
II. l.. Slade, an employee of the Taunton
locomotive works and a reputable citizen
of Taunton, Mass. says he is tired Of hear
Ing about Admiral Farragut being dashed
to the mast in the Mobile bay. Mr.. Slade
was captain OF a 2-pound howitzer on the
United States gunboat Mino during that
affair, was familiar with the movement
on board the flagship, and had ample OPP
portunity to see the admiral, especially
during his moments spent in his improvised
watch tower.
while the Hartford was working under
eteam," said Mr.. Slade. with many of
her light spars on deck. the old iron of the
eremy was always directed not only to-
ward disabling the boilers, but cutting the
spars in pieces. Had Admiral Farragut
been dashed to the mast he would have
been unnecessarily exposing himself. AS
fectly free on q large grating. which had
been taken from near the wheel, and which
was dashed in the starboard mizzen rig
giEg, about three feet above the ham
mock nettings. At one time a portion of
the laShingS were cut away. and the ad-
miral was precipitated to the deck saving
himself, however. from injury by grasping
some of the running rigging as he went
down. The lashings were once again put
on the gratfngs, and the admiral resumed
his old position
Mr.. Slade says he has no doubt that the
man who recently died and who claimed
the honor of lashing the fleet commander
to the rigging was one Of a gang who
dashed the rigging.

WORLDS CARRYING TRADE.

England Has Over Half the Vessels
and We Over Half the Railroads.
From the Contemporary Review.
The people of the. British empire own
more than half the ocean vessels of the
world, and 90 per cent Of the annual saw
ings of the nation is expended in building
new Ships and railroads. Since 1910 the
tonnage of British shipping has trebled,
while that of all other nations has only
doubled. Fifty years ago British shipping
held one-third the carrying trade of the
nigh seas. Today 1t holds over one-half.
Sailing vessels have now an aggregate
carrying capacity of only one-fifth that of
steam vessels. The decline Of tonnage of
sailing vessels since 1860 has been 1000 900
tons. The increase In trade has not fully
kept pace with Increase of tonnage which
gives color to the assertion made in some
quarters that the business of transporta-
ton. like other industries. has been devei-
greatest increase in port entries is found
in the colonies and South America The
tendency in ship building at present is to-
ward Increase of size.
trade We find that there.are now in opera
ton 100000 miles. This would be sufficient
to gfrdle the earth at the equator about
sixteen times. The total cost Of these rail-
ways has been $073. 400. OOO, 600 OF ex-
listing railway mileage 90 per cent has been
built since 1910. Since 1860 the average an
nual railway construction has been 10000
miles. Railway traffic has reacted upon
marine traffic to largely increase the lat
ter. In 1850 the cost of land carriage was
eight times as much as 1t is in 1895.
While Great Britain holds supremacy in
ocean traffic. the United States is far in
advance in railway traffic, doing thirds
of all the railway transportation of goods
and owning one-third of the total railway
mileage Of the globe.
The navigable waterways of different
countries Drivers and canals) are, in miles,
as follows: Great Britain, $50; France,
1880; Germany, 1900; Russia, 1880;
Austria, 100; Canada. 1850: United
States. 1850: Brazil, $1,000. The carrying
capacity of vessels navigating lakes and
rivers of the United States is 100000 tons
OF the total carrying traffic of the Suez
canal, British vessels do 76 per cent. The
net profits CT this canal in 1892 amounted
to s.5 per cent Of the cost Of its construc-
ton.
