THE SALMON PACK.
Every Packer Is Now Running q Full
Force Of Men.

Every Packer Is Now Running a Full
Force Of Men.
Astoria, Or, June At is estimated
that the canneries on the lower river
have thus far this season put up about
three-ffths of an average pack. The
large increase in shipments Of fresh fish
have drawn considerably from the cam
neries' supplies, and the early freshet
in the river, which has kept the water
muddy and prevented SEEMING and trap
fishing, is another reason for the small
pack. During the last 60 hours, how
ever, fish have been running in much
larger quantities, some of the canneries
receiving as high as six tons OF fish.
One cannery is reported to have re-
ceived since Saturday 20 tons, and every
packer is now running full force Of
men, who are having all they can do.
Yesterday evening, in squall at the
mouth of the river, four fishermen,
Wilson, Hanson, Hoffman and another
whose name is unknown, were making
drifts below the bell buoy on the in
coming tide. To avoid swapping their
boats, they were obliged to cut away
their nets, which drifted out to sea and
were lost. The loss is $500 to each
man.
Brigadier-General Flagler, chief OF
ordnance, United States army, arrived

= CRISIS IS NEAR.
President Mckinley will Demand Rem
aratiOn for Ruix Outrage.

President Mckinley win Demand Rsp.
aration for Ruix Outrage.
New York, June "A special to the
Herald from Washington says: From
now until June 10, when he will start
on his trip to attend the Nashville ex.
position. President McKinley's atten-
ton will be devoted almost exclusively
to the Cuban question. Important de-
velopments may be looked for within
that period. A new minister to Spain
and probably new consul-general to
Havana will be appointed, the report
of Special Commissioner Calhoun con-
sidered, and formal note to Spain
drafted and placed in the hands of the
new minister for delivery upon his ar
rival in Madrid.
Mr.. Calhoun is expected in Washing
ton on Sunday next. By that time the
president expects to announce the new
minister to Spain, and to have prac-
tically formulated his instructions
both in regard to the offer of mediation
which is to be made, and demand for
reparation for the Ruiz outrage. The
understanding is that the report of
Consul General Lee on the Ruiz inves-
tigation is now in the mails and will
be in the hands of the state department
before Mr.. Calhoun arrives.
The president, of course, desires to
have talk with Mr.. Calhoun, but the
private communications received have
enabled him to proceed with the shap-
ing of his policy without delay.
The instructions to the new minister
will, of course, be treated as confiden-
tial until he has communicated with
the Madrid authorities and reply from
Spain has been received. There is
practically no doubt, however, that the
presidents note TO Spain will be for
NAL tender of the good offices of the
United States. 1t will be firm in tone,
reviewing the whole situation in such
a way as to show that the United States
is interested in the present devastating
war, and that on the ground of human
ity as we'll as for commercial reasons
we have the right to use all legitimate
means of bringing the war to close.
Both the administration officials and
representatives Of the Spanish govern
ment are congratulating themselves
that the recent furry incident to the
passage of the belligerency resolution
in the senate has subsidized at a time
when negotiations are about to be under
taken for peaceful solution of the
trouble. If no unusual excitement oc-
ours, both sides are hopeful that satis-
factory settlement may yet be reached.
1t is still the opinion of many conserva-
tive men here that complete autonomy
for Cuba on Canadian basis will be
the final outcome, if the matter is to be
settled without a rupture in our rela-
tions with Spain.
The report that special messenger
had been sent to Havana to receive re-
ports from Mr.. Calhoun and Consul
General Lee was denied today by Assist
ant Secretary Day, who stated that he
did not know that Kimball was to be

EXECUTION OF DURRANT.
Warden Hale Will Issue Two Hundred
Invitations.


Invitations.
San Francisco, June 4.-There will
be 200 invitations issued for the execu-
ton of Durrant. Warden Hale has
fixed 1920 A. M. as the hour of execu-
ton. Twenty-Five medical men will
be permitted to witness the execution.
At the request of his attorneys Dur
rant yesterday made formal demand
for release, claiming to be unjustly i'm
prisoned. This will be part of the APP
peal to the supreme court, and is to
cover the point which might be made
that by failing to protest and demand
his release he had lost the right to
complain.
The appeal raises point which, &C
cording to the statement of Durrant's
counsel, has never been raised in this
state and must be decided before Dur
rant can be hanged. The contention is
that Judge Bahrs inflicted two penal
ties-impriaonment and death-while
the law says one or the other. Counsel
will hold that Durrant's life in San
Quentin is not detention, but impirson-
ment; that the position Of the attorney
general is untenable, as life in the
county Jail carries with it no shaving,
stripes and no indignity other than de-
tentiOn.
Durrant's first effort to gain respite
by appealing to the federal courts has
failed, United States Circuit Judge
Gilbert having refused today to issue a
writ of habeas corpus, for which his
attorney applied.

The Metal Schedule.

Wash ington, June 4.-The senate
today made greater progress on the tar
if bill than on any day since the de-
bate opened, completing more than half
of the important metal schedule. The
speaking was by the Democratic sena-
tors, the Republicans taking no part in
the debate, except at rare intervals to
ans yer questions which would expe-
dite the advance of the bill. Jones OF
Arkansas and Vest urged numerous
amendments, embodying in the main
the Wilson rates., but these were re-
iected, with one exception. This ex-
ception relates to rails, on which Vest
secured a reduction from Q to l u cents
per pound. It was the first change
made without the assent OF the COM
mittee, and was due mainly to the list
less manner of many senator's In
voting.
In the morning Tillman secured the
adoption of resolution directing the
judiciary committee to inquire into the
recent decisions against the South Car
DINA dispensary law. with view to
reporting such legislation as might be
desirable.

MAY Have Been Hypnotized.

San Francisco, June ga young
woman known among her friends by
the name of Henrietta, for several years
in the service of the family of Louis F.
Monteagle, Of this city, has mysteri-
ously disappeared. It is supposed that
she is now in the neighborhood of San
Mateo. The young woman was sup
posed to be the victim Of hypnotic in
fiuences, and detectives were employed
to find out if there was any crime being
committed in the matter, and to locate
if possible the criminals. DR.. A. A.
d'Acona attended the young woman,
and Mayor Phelan is said to have taken
interest in her case. She is we'll spoken
of by her friends and her disappearance
is causing them much concern.

Winnipeg, June 3.-Fear of repeti.
Gon of the trouble Of 1885 has been re.
moved by the shooting of the remaining
Indians at Bay in-Bluff, near Duck
Lake. The trouble was small in itself,
but it was feared that if Almighty
Voice, the Indian outlaw and murderer,
and his companions escaped to their
bands the fire would spread. People
all over the Dominion, therefore, feel
greatly relieved.
Superintendent Getnon returned to
Prince Albert from Manichisas hills
last night with the police and volun-
teers. bringing the bodies of Corporal
Hocken and Constable Kerr. A COR
Gner's inquest was held and Hocken
ind Kerr were buried with military
honors today.
The volunteers from here arrived at
the bluff Saturday night under COM
mand of James Mckay and took posi-
tion around the bluff. The Prince
Albert gun began work about O'Clock
the next morning, and was answered by
a shot and some haunting yells from
Almighty Voice. twenty-five police
from Regina under command of In
spector Mcdonnell came up, bringing
with them nine-pounder gun and COM
menced to shell the bluff, keeping up a
fire for about two hours, during which
time the bluff was very much cut up.
The Indians not returning the fire, the
Smelling was stopped at IL A. M.
After consultation among the Off
GERS general charge was ordered, the
volunteers keeping up continuous fire
as they charged. When they arrived
at the rife pits, they found all the In
dams had been shot. Almighty Voice
was literally riddled with bullets. and
the others were MORALLY wounded in
several places.
Police Constable Kerr and Mr.. Grun-
dy's body were found 1875 yards from
the pits with shots in several places on
their heads and bodies. They were
stripped of their clothing, which was
found on the bodies of the Indians.
After the bodies of the Indians had
been identified they were buried where
they fell. The remains of the MUIR
dered police were taken to Prince AL
bert, and those Of Mr.. Grundy to Duck
Lake. Indian John, Almighty Voices
father, who was caught while convey
ing ammunition, will be brought to
Prince Albert as soon as possible.
Captain Allan, Sergeant Rapan and
Surgeon Venn, who are wounded, are
progressing favorably. It is thought
by many that if it was not for the
police, a second edition of the trouble
of 1885 might have developed.

A Photopraphic Discovery.

New York, June 3.-William A.
Eddy has just taken the first double
photograph in midair that has ever
been seen. He did this with special
apparatus after years study. By his
invention it will be possible to take
from midair perfect photograph of
the entire horizon line. With such an
apparatus Eddy claims that photo
graph can be taken at sea which will
show ship approaching when it is ten
miles beyond the horizon line, as seen
from a ships deck. The inventor is
confident his apparatus can be used to
great advantage during war. The pho
tographs today were taken with two
cameras, but it is proposed to arrange
this SO they will photograph the whole
horizon at once.

Washington, June 3.-The secretary

the steamer Piscayne on New river in
let yesterday, while she was transfer
ring arms and ammunition to the
Dauntless, and that he was knocked
down, disarmed and driven off. The
telegram was referred to the attorney
general for such action as the gravity of
the occurrence may warrant.
Department officials say they have
no doubt the Dauntless had just return
ed from a successful landing in Cuba
of munitions of war, and her capture is
regarded as highly important. The
persons who maltreated Inspector
Hampton will be vigorously prosecuted.

MURDERED AND CREMATED.
Roung Illinois Farmer Falls q Victim
to Thieves,


to Thieves.
Sterling, ILL.,, June 4.-Robbed, MUIR
dered and cremated.
That tells the awful fate of George
Kaufman. He stood guard over his
fathers granary to protect it from
thieves, who killed him at his post and
sought to wipe out the evidence of their
fiendish cruelty with fire. Today all
that remains of him is a corpse with its
thread cut, its skull crushed and it's
head bullet-pierced, a charred lump of
flesh. There is no clew to the murder
ers who committed the crime, but blood
hounds are on the trail.
George Kaufman was the son of
Tobias Kaufman, prosperous farmer,
living about five miles north of Sterling.
He was % years old. Farmer Kaufman
has two dwelling-houses with about a
quarter of mile between them. He left
his old home for his present dwelling
year ago, but used some of the build
ings at the former residence.
Lately Kaufman discovered that
thieves were raiding his granary.
located near the old residence. He
asked his son George to take up his
night quarters in the deserted home
and watch for the plunderers. George
Kaufman began his vigils two weeks
ago. He was unsuccessful and regu-
larly went to the other house for his
breakfast. Tuesday morning he did
not come in at the usual hour. The
family waited some time without con-
Germ. Then his father became alarmed
and started for the old mouse, accom-
panied by the hired man. They went
to the house, but there was no trace of
the young man.
They scented the strawstack, which
had been nearly burned down and was
still smoking. They were Mortified to
find on top Of the smoking straw the
body of young Kaufman, burned to a
crisp. The victim had been dubbed
and his skull crushed. His throat had
been cut and the head nearly severed
from the body. A bullet hole showed
that the murderer had shot the young
man.
Bloodhounds were put On the trail,
but so far without success. The sur
rounding country is intensely stirred
up over the crime, and friends of the
young man are demanding vengeance
at the end of a rope, without the quib-
bles and delays of the law.
