1t is difficult TO refrain from questioning the
good faith of Prince HOhenlohe in connection
with his announcement in the Rechstag at Ber-
lin yesterday that the German Government was
averse to the holding Of a monetary conference
For he based the decision Of the Federal Council
in the matter upon England's opposition TO the
scheme. Now every one has been aware from
the outset that Great Britain is antagonistic TO
the organization Of any such conference; and
the bmetasts therefore appear to be justified
in declaring that If the Chancellor had really been
in earnest abou, fulfilling his pledges to them
he would have addressed all the States COM
prised in the Latin Monetary Union, instead OF
merely contenting himself with consulting about
the question the English Government, whose I'M
favorable response was foregone conclusion.

A Senaitivo Man.

That the average man is very sensitive
as to his physical inirmities was strik-
ingly illustrated in an Arch street
car the other afternoon. Near the rear
platform sat well-dressed man, with
one leg stretched out in front of him,
almost completely blocking the passage.
A lady boarded the car and in her eff
forts to reach seat, stumbled over
the mans leg. He apologized, but did
not change his position. Presently an
other female passenger got on, and she
was forced to stand over the obstacle.
Then the conductor interfered. APP

followed, scuffle ensued, and the OBJ

he had an artificial leg, and rather than
acknowledge his affection he had run

IN MINE EXPLOSIONS.

Many Men Lose Their Lives Through
Ignorance of What to Do.
Scientific inquiry is being directed to
plosions. DR.. Haldane has established
the fact that the loss of life in colliery
accidents is far greater than it need
be when those who work in the mines
and those who manage them have
clearer knowledge of the right thing
TO do in the face of the calamity. In a
recent mine explosion, where 81 men
and 80 horses were killed, the cause of
death in every case was proved to be
not the want of oxygen in the air Of the
pit after the explosion, but to COM
paratively slow poisoning by carbon
monoxide. Sufficient oxygen to sup
port life was left in the anyways all
along the track of the explosion. It
appears that men from want of knowl-
edge now go straight to their death
in endeavoring to escape. DR.. Haldane
is convinced that hundreds of men have
lost their lives by hurrying blindly to-
ward the shaft, or by not retiring to-
ward the face when they met the after.
damp. In many parts of the mine there
will be, beyond the limits of the exc
plosion, abundance of air to effect 61u-
ton of the poisonous carbon-monoxide,
on breathing which the men suddenly
lose the use of their limbs and finally
consciousness. So that man who
waits for the rescuers, or long enough
for the after-damp to disperse, will be
able to escape either by the intake. or,

1T is TRUE.
A Horses Head Il rs Long - . Flour
BARREL.

Barrel
It Is probable that at first thought
most persons would be inclined to doubt
the accuracy of the old saying that q
horses head is as long as -four bar
rel. Flour barrels vary somewhat in
length. Some are made stouter and
shorter, some slender and little high
er. An average -four barrel is about 20
inches in height.
A man to whom the old saying was
familiar made up his mind the other
day, says the New York Sun, to see for
himself just how near right it was and
he measured the heads of three horses.
One of these horses was said to have
rather large head for its size; it wasn't
a very big horse. This horses head, ex-
elusive of the ears, measured % inches
in length. The heads of the two other
horses, which were horses Of fair aver
age size, with average heads, measured,
one, q inches, the other 27k inches.
So that this investigator discovered that
the old saying was substantially true.

THE DERvIsHEs.

Great Odds.

1hSy Fight to the Death In the Face %
Great Odds.
The dervishes have lost nothing Of
their old valor. They heed death a.
little as ever. I saw them, says writer
In the London Times, stand undismayed
in the open and fight with logged de-
termination in the face of our deadly
volley fire; they fought on with rifle
and spear and knife when charged by
the cavalry; each wounded dervish, a.
he lay bleeding to death on the ground,
was dangerous and treacherous foe
until he had breathcd his last. They
even did what some authorities have
denied that any troops, however brave,
would ever do-they stood in groups
firing steadily into our ranks while our
Maxim guns poured their streams Of
bullets on them, moving them down
like grass.
doubt whether any other men in the
world would have stood, as these men
stood, for nearly two hours, against
such fearful odds as were opposed to
them. But, If one may judge from this
fight, the dervishes have changed their
old tactics; they have, to great extent,
abandoned the reckless rush Of spear
men which used to distinguish Soudan-
csc warfare, and rely more on rifle fire,
in which their practice has considerably
improved. If trained and disciplined
(but it is very doubtful whether that
savage beast of prey, the Baggara, ever
could be trained) these men would make
magnificent infantry. They display now
as much amazing GOODNESS when acting
on the defensive as they did in their
furious charges of former campaigns.

Sound the grand tidings throughout
the land that the big gates in the canal
at Cascade Locks will be swung open
on Thursday, Nov. 5, at . z. NJ, and
that at that hour the first boat ever to
come from the lower to the upper river
will pass through the canal; that there
will no longer be an obstruction to the
navigation OF the great Columbia from
The Dalles to the sea; that the fetters
that have bound Eastern Oregon and
retarded its progress will he severed.
This welcome news was received to-
day in dispatch from Capt. Fisk, en-
gineer in charge OF the government
work at the Cascades, To N. Wealdon of
the Commercial Club's committee on
commerce. tor twenty years The Dalles
has waited for these glad tidings, and
now that our fond hope seems to be
realized, is an event over which all feel
elated. Old men who have grown gray
in waiting seem to call back ten, yes
twenty years OF their lives and assumed
the huoyancy OF youth. Even in these
exciting times Of political strife, politi-
clans laid aside partisanship for the
time and united in the general good
cheer. Go where you would ON the

tions ton the 4th inst. will begin with
