Chicago, Nov. 4.-Mr. Henry c. Payne, of
the Republican national committee, in
charge of the headquarters in the absence
of MIR. Hanna, issued the following this

Considering the wild rumors which are

From the San Francisco Can. T.
A nest of live bats were found 100 feet
tage Grove, in Oregon, the other day. This
is considered a most remarkable discovery,
ami those who have visited the place and
seen the animals are at a loss to account
for it.
John Dinman and Andrew Wilson have
been developing claim in the gulch by
tunnel runs obliquely. and a few days ago.
when depth of l5O feet had been reached.
the rock began to assume a different con-
dition. 1t sounded loose. or hollow, in that
particular spot and the partners knew
that they were nearing what in miners
parlance is called "a change"
Their ''holes' were nearly loaded when
this discovery was made. but they contin-
ued loading, and then went to the surface
and touched off the charge. Upon their
return they expected to find a vein uncov-
cred. or at least a rock of different char
acter from that through which they were
running.
But quite different, matter attracted
their attention when they went back To
the end of the tunnel, and the circum-
stance has been the wonder of the entire
country ever since. 1t has created an i'm
menst. amount of discussion, scientific and
otherwise, but no certain explanation has
yet been adduced.
Instead of finding ore or any particular
change in the rock they found the tunnel
full of bats. the cause of the peculiar
sound that indicated change of ground
was a small cave, and into this their last
bats. How the bats got into the cave 10
the problem. and what sustained them
there? The point is about 100 feet below
the surface, and there is apparently no
opening or means of ingress or exit. The
bats when caught and taken out to the
daylight appeared to be without eyes and
able to fly but a little way: in fact, their
wings were but meagerly developed. The
frs. thing that attracted the mems atten-
ton upon fheir return TO the tunnel was
the peculiar odor, which. Notwithstanding
the amount of gas from the exploded pow.
der. was quite perceptible and disagreeable.
The only soHltion of the strange occur
renee that has yet been offered lies in the
fact that the rock is of metamorphic and
aqueous origin. and, being in the Cascade
range, is OF recent occurrence The rock
is closely bedded shale. and at the time
of the geological disturbance that put 1t
into its present position the bats had their
nest there, and then became incased as
they were found. 1t would seem. too. that
the bats must be of that nature that be-
comes dormant and able to retain life
without food. An effort was made to save
some of them alive. but they rapidly sue
cumbed to the sunlight and fresh air.

BLACKBURN'S DOOM SEALED.
Kentucky Republicans Will Elect His
SuccesxOr-S0me Talk of Elect
fnx Secretary Carlisle

Louisville. KY, Nov. 4.-By yesterdays
election the Republicans will probably be
enabled to elect a Republican to the United
States senate to succeed Senator c. ].
Blackburn. The Republicans originally had
sixty-eight members. They lost five by
death and designations. and yesterday they
gained seven, thus giving them seventy
votes in joint ballot. An extra session will
certainly be held, for Governor Bradley has
said he will demand it. He will probably
be candidate if he can see his way clear.
Mr.. St. John Boyle claims the Republican
nomination. There is much talk, however,
of giving the honor to Secretary ]. G. Car
Isle.

New York, Nov 4-W. p. st. John, treas
urer of the Democratic national committee
and chairman of the national committee of
the Silver party, in discussing the results
of yesterdays election, said: 1.-The people

therefore, cordially acquiesce. The next
four years should amply test the single gold
standard in the United States. 1 am con-
fident the party in power will be quick to

sufficient to promise this. 1 shall try to
expect and certainly will welcome, the
restoration of prosperity. which our late
opponents promised us with their victory.

Washington Doors and Lumber.

The recent order for two carloads OF
cedar doors to go to England, shows
that the cedar article is finding It's way
to the further ends of the earth. AS
we have repeatedly said the red cedar
doors is the best in the world, and 1T
will not be many years before the Pa
cific Northwest will be the door manu-
featuring center of the west. Cheap
ness of raw material and the excellence
of the same can be depended upon to
throw down the barriers of distance
and prejudice. Red cedar panels are
being placed into white pine doors at
Oshkosh and other eastern door CEN
ters, and it is known that one large
door concern at st. Paul uses coast
spruce in doors and sell the same un-
der the name of white pine. This is
not to be wondered at, as spruce IS SO
much like the latter article that even
experts are deceived. But the cedar
door will always have the lead, as 1t
does not warp, shrink or swell IN any
climate. Stick pin right here: Red
cedar doors will be in every yard IN
the East in few years. .-Falrhaven

Suit has been filed in the u. S.
Court to annull the rig ght-of-wav built
by the Union River logging company,
at Clifton, Hood Canal, and is rather
unique in its way, says the Seattle
Times:
The government has had many big
fights against railroad companies on
its hands, but none probably embody-
ing the same grounds for action. In
short, the charge that the government
makes is that the Union River logging
company, originally incorporating to
operate only a logging road, later filed
supplemental articles, and, as alleged,
to get the proper Endorsement of the
government, purported to be going to
build first class railroad, but did not
do it.
While the railroad constructed but
about ten miles of logging road, they
still are in position to push along fur
ther into Uncle Sans virgin timber
belt and in their progress do injury to
the timber.
"1n 1885," the complaint alleges,
"the manager fraudulently caused and
procured the said company by and
through its officers and trustees to
adopt and file in the office of the Sec
retary of the territory of Washington
supplemental articles of incorporation,
wherein it was provided that SAID COM
pany should construct a line of railroad
from a convenient point on tide water
in Lynch cove at the head of Hootl's
canal in Mason county, running north
easterly to a convenient point on tide
water in Dyer's inlet in Kitsap county
and branch to or near the town of
Seabeck and another branch to Port
Orchard"
In these supplemental articles the
incorporators declared it their purpose
"to build and operate system of rail
road to carry freight and passengers
and to charge, collect and receive tolls
therefor" These articles were also
filed with the land Office officials at
Seattle in order to entitle the company
to cut the government timber along
the line for the building of the road
and opening right-of-way.
All papers with a map of definite
location were forwarded to the secre-
tary of the interior. These were pre-
sented on January 80, 1889, to Secre-
tary William N. Villas and then it was
shown that the company intended to
"equip the road with all necessary
engines, cars, tracks, side-tracks, turn
tables, bridges, depots, freight houses,
ticket offices, telegraph lines and
telegraph offices, operators, engineers,
agents, conductors and employees"
usually engaged in operating rail-
road.
By reason of this it is alleged that
the secretary was induced to sign and
approve these papers and grant the
company's request.

Delinquent Taxes are Assets,

OLYMPIA. WN., Feb. 21.-The su-
preme court has decided that all de-
linquent taxes and all taxes assessed
for county purposes on the tax rolls
for the current year, and all cash in
the treasurers' hands are assets.
No decision could possibly be more
productive Of good results in the finan-
cial affairs of the several counties of
the state. 1t is most important every
where, and counties Which have here
tofore been paralyzed by reason of hav-
ing reached what has been assumed as
the legal limit of Indebtedness will
find themselves in good financial con-
dltion. Warrants will be lifted to par
and will be in demand where in the
past they have been hawked about at
a discount.
The decision is by Chief Justice
Hoyt, and declares that the amount of
these delinquent taxes must be deduct
ed from the outstanding Indebtedness
OF the county to determine the actual
amount of Indebtedness within the
meaning of the constitutional prohibi-
tion.
The question was raised upon the
action of w. e. Barton against George
S. Hopkins, as auditor, and George
Gelbach, as treasurer of Thurston
county to compel them to issue and
pay special warrant, directed by the
commissioners to be issued and paid,
for his services rendered in putting in
the county we'll. The superior court
decided pro forma in favor OF Barton.
The supreme court reverses this de-
cision. The Facts in the case were all
agreed by both sides, and it was con-
ceded by Barton that if the outstand-
ing warrant Indebtedness was valid
one the order in question could not
properly be made. The question which
was to determine the validity or the
invalidity of the outstanding indebted
ness, was as to what might be legally
counted as assets of the county. This
decision settles the question of the
validity of the outstanding county in
debtedness.
