THE RETURNS IN,
Oregon Goes Repuplican by Large Plu-
 rality.

Tdllty.
 Portland, Ore, June 2.-Oreeon has gone republican by large plurality, as indicated by incomplete returns up to midnight On the only test of strength throughout the state, for supreme court justice, Bean, republican, is elected by a plurality, with Gaston, populist, second.
 on congressman the money question has cut large figure, reducing former pluralities that republicans have secur- ed in years past. The republican vote is not lessened, but the populist vote has increased with the aid of the demo- crats One peculiar feature is the re- markedly small democratic vote, most of it having gone for the populist nomi- ness for congress in the First district, and for the republican candidate in the second.
 The democrats have apparently voted strongly for free silver with a view of securing such advocates in congress.
 It is probable that Thomas H. Tongue of Hillsboro, republican, with free sil- yer predilections, has been elected con- gressman from the First district, with Vandeberg, populist, a close second.
 Congressman Ellis, republican free silver candidate for congress in the Second district, has undoubtedly been elected, though by a decreased plurali- ty, due to the candidacy of Northrup, independent sound money republican.
 Inman, the populist nominee, will be second, and Bennett, democrat sound money candidate, third. It is reported that many free silver democrats voted for, Coppressman Ellis fearing that his defeat would mean victory. for the gold bugs.
 Returns from the legislative districts are so meagre that it is impossible yet to tell how Senator John H. Mitchell stands for reelection. Returns in all cases are slow and incomplete.
 Ex- Governor Sylvester Pennoyer has been elected mayor of Portland City, defeating Silas Cohen, republican, and General Beebe, independent.

 It's speakers are men and women from all parts of the country who are alive to the great interest of Christian izing America, and are qualified to speak from experience of the demands and measures of frontier work and sparse settlements of this country.
 The papers to be read by the secreta- ries will be full of information and in- spiration, backed by missionaries from the fields with facts and incidents worth hearing and with enthusiasm born of personal experience
 It will be a great meeting, of large constituency that will be profitable to all Christians, as we'll as to Congreea- tionalists. AUSTIN.

Spraying the Trees.

Parties coming along Chapel street yesterday morning complained against the mist that was blown across the street from Temple street, where the citys portable steam tree beetle spray CT was in operation. One who had been recently shaved said the mist made his face itch and smart, and he went to the office of the board of public works to find out if the beetle emulsion was not poisonous. He was told that it could be drunk without any injurious effects.
 During the afternoon the men were spraying the trees near Center church and the men who handled the nose when taking it for the trees let it 1an- gle about, and at one time it nearly hit a lady walking by.

 The large circle of friends of the de- ceased and of the bereaved family heard with deep sorrow yesterday of the death of John Eliot Lancraft, son of William M. Lancraft.

He bore his illness with most patient Chris tian resignation. The deceased was only twenty-eight years of age. He was member of the Second Congrega- tional church and active in church work and in the work of the Sunday school, and was president of the Y. F. s. c. E. of the Second church for one year, was member of the class of 'SS, Hillhouse high school and was one of the editors of the H. H. S. Crescent He was an exceedingly genial and popular young man, esteemed by all. He began bis business career with E. S. Wheeler and for the last five years previous to his illness was with Peck Brothers & Co. He displayed exceptional business abil- ity. Deceased was also a member of the Naval Reserve.
 He leaves to deeply mourn his death his father and one sister, Mrs. D. F. Thompson of East Haven.
