The audience was composed in the main
of Bryan and Sewall democrats and ii
would be impossible to get together a
crowd of any other persuasion in old

The speeches were well received and
stirred the democrats to go to work and

formidable opponents.

As Soon as tho Water Goes Down, oper-
ations WIN Commence.
The Dalles, Or. July 21.-The
5000, 900 appropriated in the last river
and harbor bill for completing the
canal and locks at the cascades of the
Columbia river are now available, and
Mr.. Mcdonald. superintendent of
stonecutters under Day Bros. informed
a Dalles man who was visiting at the
Locks a few days since, that work
would be resumed on the canal, he
thought, about August /, or as soon as
the water had receded sufficiently so
that the canal between the upper guard
gate and the lock gate can be drained
Of water.
The engineers have determined to
construct walls Of solid masonry be-
tween the upper guard and lock gates,
and 1t is estimated that these walls can
be completed in two or three months.
The construction of these walls will be
under the supervision of Day Bros. on
the basis of their former contract for
similar work.
A force of from fifty to sixty men
will be put on the stone work within
two weeks, and the building Of the
walls will be pushed to completion
Then the work of rip-rapping the outer
bank on the river side will be com.
menced, and it is estimated that six
months will be required to complete
the entire job.

Cleveland.

Cleveland, O., July 20.-Several
lives were lost in an accident which oo-
ourred about 1880 tonight on an old
river-bed near the ore docks Of the
Cleveland 8 Pittsburg Railroad Com
pany. The ore handlers had just quit
work fo1 the day, and were waiting
their turn to CROSS the branch Of the
river on the fat-bottom ferry. boat
which they had provided for this pur.
pose. When it was about half way
over, the frail craft was swamped by
the wash from passing steamer. and
1t began to sink. The first report Of
the accident placed the number Of dead
at twenty-five. but that proved to have
been an exaggeration. Fourteen
bodies have been taken from the water.
William Bueloy, a we'll ll-known press
man, went to the river to see the ex-
citement, fell off an abutment near
the Detroit boat.landing and was
drowned.
The river is being dragged for more
bodies. There were many pathetic
scenes about the morgue while rela-
tives Of the dead men were Identifying
them. It is believed at II O'Clock all
the bodies have been recovered, though
it is possible one or two victims may
be added to the list Twelve Of the
fourteen victims leave families who
were dependent upon them.

E. B. Green of Ottumwa, Ia. !, tells a
good story about Judge Hendershott Of
that city, one of the leading lawyers of
the Hawkeye State.
"Judge Hendershott, said Mr..

prohibition law. An important question
was raised as to whether or not barrel
of whisky was delivered to the defend

"An IrishmaI Of the name of O'Con-
nor was the drayman, and when Judge
Hendershott started to cross examine
him he concluded to frighten him into
contradicting his testimony on the ex-
animation in chief. Assuming dra-
matte pose and with a stern voice, he
said: Remember. sir, you are on your
oath. Remember you have sworn to tell
the truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth. Remember that to devil
ate one iota from the truth is perjury,
and the punishment for perjury is i'm
prisonment in the state penitentiary of
Iowa. Now, sir, upon your oath, did
you deliver that barrel of whisky to Pat
Duffy?'

Now comes the word of another dis

said that photographer named Rogers

Photographic plate was put where the

the photographer fixed his gaze intently
upon this plate and held his mind in

the same time. When the plate was de-
veloped, two impressions, one for each
eye. were found upon it, each distinctly
resembling postage stamp. And this
idea can thus be carried out ad inf1ni-

JAPANESE ENTERPRISE.
Great Colonization and Trading Scheme
on Foot.

Great Colonization and Trading Scheme
= San Frsnciscfo, July 21.-Among
the passengers on the steamship China,
which arrived today from Yokohama,
were Sho Nemato and T. Kusakado,
prominentJapanese business men, whose
errand is to arrange the details of a
gigantic colonization scheme in Mexi-
CO. They have secured an option on
800, 900 acres of land in the state of
Cheapis. Mexico, and are ON their way
land is sold to them at 81 per acre.
The immense tract will be cut up into
small farms, which will be operated by
coolie labor brought from Japan. Cot
ton, sugar, tobacco and other products
adapted to the climate will be raised.
In addition to the above scheme, Sho
Nemato has been commissioned by the
Japanese government to investigate the
trade prospects of Mexico and Central
America. 1t Is the desire Of Japan to
trade directly with the countries south
of the United States, as far down as
Panama, and steamship line has been
subsidized to run to ports along the
Pacific coast The main port will be
San Diego, and 1t is the intention of
the Japanese manufacturers to import
all their cotton via San Diego instead
of through San Francisco and Puget
sound ports as at present. A traffic ar
rangement will also probably be made
with the Tehuantepeo railroad, thus
giving the new steamship access to the
Atlantic coast.
This steamship company has nothing
to do with the one about to be estab-
lished with Portland, Or, as the main
port Of call.
