Prosperous rlme, a. Heppner.

Mr.. W. E. Kahler returned Tuesday
morning from Heppner where he spent
the past week looking after his buss-
ness interests in Morrow county. Mr..
Kahler reports prosperous times at
Heppner. About all the mutton sheep
in that vicinity haye been shorn, and
large number have been delivered to
eastern buyers. Between $1,000 and
1s, 900 head will be started on the trail
for eastern points next Monday. The
mutton buyers are outfitting their men
in Heppner with teams, wagons, pro-
visions, ETC., which puts scpnsiderable
money in circulation. and this together
with the amount that has been paid
for the purchase of sheep and for shear-
ing makes money appear quite plenfi-
ful at that place. Aside from this STIR
among sheepmen and. the local mer-
chants of Heppner, Mr.. Kahler says
there is little activity exhibited, al
though the wheat farmers are looking
forward to prosperous season. the
prospect both for heavy crops and fair
prices being better that 1t has been

Only Two New Battle-Snips to be Built
Alaska Was Refused a Delegate
In Congress.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 1.-Anothel
supposed strang gler is behind the barr
of the city prison, and, unlike those
who have preceded him, he is, in q
m asure, self-confessed, and was also
caught in the very act of throttling a
woman of the half-world in dark and
deserted alley off Montgomery street,
near Washington. 1t WAS at an early
hour this morning, when the crime
was committed, and at that time, the
electric lights being out, it was as
dark as pitch.
Officer F. Robi, who patrols Mont
gomery street, was walking along his
beat, when he was startled upon reach
ing Merchant alley to hear the gurg-
ling sound of strangling human be-
ing. His mind being full of the recent
outrageous murders, he quickly ar
rived at the conclusion that another
helpless woman was being assassinated.
and rushed up the alley. just as he
reached the center of the block he
heard mans voice cry out:
IF you cry out will strangle you to
death as I did the other notorious
women of your class"
This spurred him on his search, and
finally he spied large man with his
fingers clutched around the throat of
woman who was PROSTATE on the pave
ment. The would be-assassin and the
officer saw each other at the same
time, and the former released his hold
on his victim and sprang as if to es-
cape. but Robi was too quick for him,
and soon had him safely ironed.

PROPOSED NEW BArrLE-snIps

Reduced by the Senate From Four to Two
Passed by a Majority of Four.
WASHINGTON, May Senator Sher.
man secured the passage of a bill to-
day appropriaIing $4,000 for the ex-
penses of the Behring sea commission
soon to meet at San Francisco to deter
mine the amount of damages to be paid
for the seizure of the Canadian sealers
in Behring sea.
Butler presented a bill making the
Mexican silver dollar and japanese
yen, each containing 3713 grains of
pure silver: and the trade dollar full
legal tender dollars in the United
States. In supporting the bill Butler
declared that if the Federal govern
ment would not make these silver
coins legal tender, then states had the
power to so recognize them. If con-
gress did not act, Butler said, he would
advise the state of North Carolina to
exercise it's constitutional rights in
this direction and he hoped the other
states would ADOPT the same course.
The naval appropriation bill was
then taken up, the question being on
the amendment of German reducing
the number of battle-ships from four,
as reported, to two. Without further
speeches yea and nay vote was taken,
resulting in the adoption of the Cor
man amendment, 81 to 27.

THE PINAR DEL RIO BATTLE.
All Havana Discussing Antonio Maceo's

All Havana Discussing Antonio Maceo',
! Late Victory.
/ NEW YORK. May 5.-A Herald dis
| patch from Havana. says:
All Havana is anXiously discussing
| the battle in the mountains of Pinar
del Rio province. 1t is believed that
the insurgents who persistently at
tackled General Ynclan's troops far
back from Cacarajicara to the sea,
were lee by Maceo in person. The
stronghold stormed by Ynclan's forces
was not, properly speaking, fort.
There is an old ranch on the top of the
stony hill at Caracajicara, whose sides
form precipitious descent to the road
which winds through bold rocks and
are not wide enough for column to
spread out to advantage. There is
little timber or brush around there.
The insurgents fortified the road in
two places by barricades, one above
the other, with the intention of pre-
venting the Spanish troops from reach
ing the hills where the main rebel
camp is located. The officials say
that the insurgents fought desperately
and that the results given prove they
had every advantage of the situation.
They poured down shot from above
upon the troops, who were practically
shut in cut in the ravine. 1t is sup
posed that rebels were sent from the
point of attack to notify Antonio
Maceo who hurried forward to attack
Ynclin. Official reports say that he
was repeatedlY repulsed.

Dogs for the North.
PORT TOWNSEND, May 3.-The
steamer Mexico sailed for Alaska this
evening with 2lO passengers and 1874
tons of fright, 30 head of beef cattle
and about 40 dogs. The steerage pas
sengers complained loudly of being
forced to occupy quarters with the
cattle and dogs. The passengers are
nearly all old miners whe have been
north before, and know just where
they are going. Many are going we'll
supplied, some taking sufficient provi-
sions to last two years.
Among the passengers were young
Metlakahtla Indian, Edward Marsden,
who, after q four-year's college course
in Ohio, is now attending Lane
theological seminary, at Cincinnati.
He is going home for four months
vacation, and anticipates cold re-
ception by the Metlakahtla tribe, as
he says his people have no use for one
of their number who embraces civil
lied ideas and weare store clothes.
He said an effort will be made to per-
suade him to don blanket moccasins
when he reaches his people. On COM
pleting his theological course Mars
den will work as a missionary among
his own people. He speaks English
fuently and is very intelligent.

CHINESE EXCLUSION LAWS
Bill for Their Amendment Sent to the
House.

Bill for Their Amen dment Sent to the
House.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-The secre.
tary of the treasury today sent to the
house draft of the bill amending the
Chinese exclusion law. 1t provides
that in cases affecting the rights OF
Chinese to enter or remain in the
United States, or where persons OF
Chinese descent claim the right to re-
enter the United States as citizens.
there shall be required testimony other
than that of Chinese persons. In
cases where affidavits are taken before
notaries public or justices of the peace,
and are proven false, the persons max
ing them shall be liable to. perjury.
In explanation of the necessity for
such law, the secretary says that in
manv instances the Chinese apply for
admission to the United States on the
ground that they were born in this
country anu visited China with their
parents at an early age, where they
remained for many years, and in every
instance the testimony of Chinese per-
sons in support of their claims is pre-
sented. 1t has been held by the courts
that such testimony, when uncontrac
dicted, is sufficient to establish the
claims.

LONDON, May 2.-(Copyright, 1896
by the Associated Press. 1T is ru
mored in this city that the assassina-
| ton of the shah of Persia was brought
| about by the machininations of his ell
dest son, Massoud-Mirza, governor OF
Ispahan. The latter was born in 1850,
while the new shah, second son of the
deceased monarch, was born in 1853
but the latter is an offspring of wife
higher rank, and thus was chosen to
succeed his father in place of Massoud,
his elder brother. The shah often re-
buked Mira for his unruliness, and in
1888 recalled him, and only allowed
him to return to Ispahan after disband-
ing some of the regiments and order
ing him to pay more than the usual
tribute.
Massound- Mira, who is also known
as the Zil-er-Sultan, or shadow of the
kingdom. resented this treatme Mt. and
it was believed that ne might make an
attempt to usurp the throne.
Masssoud-Mirza, who is enormously
rich, is unpopular on account of his
severity and intolerance, and on the
other hand, Muza- Jared. Din, the new
shah, is much loved by the people of
the province of Aaerboijan, where the
Persian army is chiefly recruited.
The discomfort of the Babist sect,
upon which Massoud- Mira, is be-
lieved to have worked. is due to the
late shah did not allow them to estab-
lish their religions, his refusal to do so
being based on representations made
to his majesty that it would conflict
with the existing faith in Persia, and
split the people into religious factions.
The Babists have always been kept in
check, and little has been heard of
them for some years past.

WASHINGTON, May 2-After weeks
debate, which has taken wide range,
the senate today passed the naval ap-

was reported from the committee on
appropriations, except the reduction
of the number of battleships from four
to two, and the torpedo-boats from Is
to 13.
An amendment was adopted provid-
ing for the construction of three of the
torpedo boats on the Pacific coast.
The senate refused to decrease the

ment, directing the secretary of the
