SWEPT FROM HIS HORSE.
c. Il. McCaferty Drowned In the
Clackamas River.

Clackamas River.
Oregon City, June &c. e. Nc
Cafferty drowned in the Clackamas
river, about six miles from the mouth,
last evening. He was a LaCamas
fisherman, but the troubles in that craft
this year made it hazardous for him to
pursue the calling, and he left La
Camas about week ago and came to
Gladstone, and got employment with
the Gladstone Sawmill Company.
Yesterday he was up the river engaged
with crew of logdrivers in bringing
down sawlogs. 1t became necessary to
cross the river, and the foreman and
McCafferty mounted horses and started
for the opposite bank. AS they ap-
preached the middle of the stream the
foreman deemed it too dangerous an
undertaking, and he turned back, and
told McCafferty to follow. McCafferty
could not or would not turn back The
current swept the horse from his feet,
and both horse and rider sank. When
the horse reappeared he was without a
rider. Shortly afterward the man was
seen struggling in an eddy, and an in
effectual attempt was made to rescue
him. The body has not yet been re-
covered. The deceased was about 30
years of age, and he left widow and
two children. He was member OF
the A. O. u. W., so the family will re-
ceiye $4,000

Art and the Dollar Question.

I have friend whom I shall venture
to. call ''poor artist, for I know that
he is poor and gets his living, such as it
is, by painting I cannot pretend to
Judge his work, but I have had ample
proof that he is devoted, laborious and
will not sacrifice his convictions for gain
or popularity. Perhaps he is not SO SIN
gular in this, but what, as my experience
goes, is a popularity of his is that he
is not in the habit of cursing the "Phil-
istines. His view seems to be that, as
he paints to suit himself, it does not
comport with his self respect to blame
people whom his painting does not suit
for refusing to buy it or for being un-
able to understand it. Ny friend, as
have said, is poor and is likely to re-
main so, but he appears really content
with his work and his relative poverty.
[ confess that his attitude is comfort
to me, and that i'll his patience and
modesty and generous fidelity to his
ideal he is a model whom some other
artists - perhaps artists generally =
might study with advantage. He puts
into his work the best he has to give, and
that, in substance, is what the great
critics have insisted is the source OF the
greatest value in art. Of course man s
best, SO far as concerns his talent, may
be much or little, but whatever it is he
will hardly get it into his work If he Is
thinking chiefly of the money return OF
if he is habitually resentful because he
does not get the money return. Serb

Astoria, June 19.-This morning q
delegation of union men waited upon
Colonel Summers and presented him
with twenty-five large salmon. One
Of the fishermen, who acted as spokes-
man, in presenting the salmon, laugh
ingly remarked:
Colonel Summers, the boys will not
deliver salmon to the canneries at less
than cents per pound, but they will
be very happy to give your men all
they can eat for nothing"
The gift was much appreciated, and
when the men learned that the salmon

ing Governor Lord to withdraw the
troops, but it is not considered likely
that they will be withdrawn for some
time. Some of the leading fishermen
on being interviewed today, said that
all hope of a compromise might as we'll
be abandoned now; that had the can
nerymen not had the militia brought
here, the union members would have
accepted the proposition of NJ. J. Kin
ney, of 4 q cents per pound, free tam
ming for nets and use Of net racks free,
but that if any fish were delivered by
union men now, they would cost the
Gamers cents per pound.
The cannerymen still believe that
the presence Of the militia will bring
about break in the union ranks, but
such a probability seems extremely
doubtful

Outrares ON Cuban Women.

Key West, Fla, June 16.-An
American citizen, writing to a friend
here, gives an account of outrages per.
petrated on Cuban women, who obeyed
Weyler's order requiring them to pre-
sent themselves at the Spanish fortress
and camps. He was an eyewitness Of
one of the ourtages. Recently Senorita
Martinez and her 15-year old daughter
appeared at Spanish camp. After
addressing insulting remarks to them.
the officer in command tore the cloth
ing from the girl and exposed her to
the soldiers. Then, at the point Of the
bayonet, the nude girl was forced to
march in front of the column Of troops.
To escape dishonor by the Spaniards.

To Prevent Collisions.

Washington, June 15.-The presi.
dent having approved the act passed by
congress at the instance of the Ameri.
can delegates to the international mar
thine conference, relative to the pre-
vention of collisions at sea. the state
department has taken steps promptly
to acquaint the British government
with the fact that the amendments to
rules suggested by it have been made,
and it is hoped there will be no delay
in putting the rules into operation by
proclamation. The acceptance Of the
changes by third maritime power is
necessary to the inauguration of the
rules, but as Germany in April 1894,
brought forward the same propositions
as those recently ratified, no doubt is
entertained of that country's adher-
euc0.
