$4,000 TAIIORS 10 STRIKE

New York, May 1S.-Atya conference
tonight of committees representing the
United Brotherhood Of Tailors and the
Progressive Tailors. it was decided that
the latter, numbering $500, would strike
in the morning. Leader Schoenfeld, who
presided at the conference, said he an
ticipated q general strike tomorrow or
Thursday, involving at least $4,000
garment workers in this city, Brooklyn
and Bronxville.
: More than 400 contractors met tonight
and after protracted discussion of the
situation decided to appoint committee
to confer with the strike leaders. This
is considered an indication that the con-
tractors are willing to take sides with
the strikers in the matter of forcing the
manufacturers to pay higher prices,
thus enabling the contractors and middle
men to pay the operators better wages.

AN ex-sENArOR's ESCAPE
Mr.. MCPHERSON CAME NEAR BE-

Van AIKEN, Formerly Wealthy Jersey
man. Thwarted in His Purpose by
Private Secretary Low.

New York. May 1S.-An attempt wa:
made to-day to kill Ex-United States
Senator J. II. Mcpherson, in his office II
the Aldridge building, this city. VIM. b
Van AIKEN, who made the attempt is part
" blind and is said to be interested IN /;
suit in which the Senator is also involved
Van AIKEN had an accomplice in the mat
ter whose name is unknown and who es
caped. Van AIKEN was arrested. ne
ATTEMPTED to shoot the ex-senator, bu'
was prevented from doing so by his Sec
rotary, Edward +. Low.
Van AIKEN was arraigned in police court
this afternoon and remanded IN de1aui'
of $1,000 bail.
Mr.. Mcpherson has admitted that ne
knew Van AIKEN several years ago.
Evan Aken," said Mr.. Mcpherson,
twas once a very wealthy man, owned
property in New Jersey and was CON
tractor. He built several docks IN TINS
city and New Jersey. He was obliged to
mortgage a good deal of his property and
| bought one of his Jersey farms at
mortgage sale. l never had direct trans
action with the man, but he came to
me afterwards and claimed that l had
entered into an agreement with MN 10
run the farm ON equal profit shares. he
insisted that owed him $2SO,0OO and IN
November last brought suit in the Su-
preme court. l had the suit transferred
to the United States court and since that
time he has not attempted to revive the
suit, l am inclined to believe that the
man is insane.
Van AIKEN told me this morning that
he was tired out waiting for his lawyer
to settle the case and thought that We
could settle it between us. l told him
did not want to talk with him and that
he'd better go away; if he wanted to
know anything about the case he must go
to my lawyer. When l had said that,
his accomplice deliberately turned chair
so that Van AIKEN was exactly opposite
me and sat with his knees against mine.
Then Van AIKEN said: will you settle
the case"
/ said that l would not. He made
move towards his hip-pocket and | got
up and went out into my Secretary's Of
fice.. If it had not been for Mr.. Lows
action in the matter l would been kill
ed
Rufus \. Williams, the attorney for
Van AIKEN said that he would not put
in any defense and the case was set for
the grand jury.
Mr.. Mcpherson said that he is a very
anxious to secure the capture of Van
Aken's companion who was poorly dress
ed and not the sort of looking man whom
Van AIKEN would know intimately. Van
AIKEN, in court declared that in going to
the office of Mr.. Mcpherson he had no
intention to shoot him but simply wanted
a settlement of the suit.
At the hotel where Van AIKEN lives it
is said that this was the first day that
is said that this was the first day that he
had left the house since last fall. He
business man and was an object of SYM
patty on account of his partial blindness.
He has been almost blind for two years.
He is said to have one son and to be a
widower.

NO WHISKEY TO INDIANS.
THE LAW RECENTLY PASSED BY
CONGRESS TO STOP THE SALE
OF LIQUOR TO INDIANS.

We have been forwarded by the
Indian Department copy of the
law passed by congress, and ap-I
proved January 80, 1897, relative
to the sale of liquor to Indians.
The law reads as follows:
can act to prohibit the sale q
Intoxicating drinks to Indians, pro
viding penalties therefor, and 70
other purposes.
"Be it enacted by the senate and
house of representatives ofthe Unit
ed States of America, in congress-
assembled, that any person whd
shall sell, give away, dispose of
exchange, or barter any malt
spirituous or vinous liquor, includ
ing beer, ale and wine, or any ardent
or other Intoxicating liquor Of auJ
kind whatsoever, or any essenceI
extract, bitters, preparation, com
pound, composition or any articl
whatsoever, under any name, label
or brand, which produces intoxica-
tion to any Indian to whom allot-
ment of land has been made while
the title to the same shall be held in
trust by the government, or to any
Indian, ward of the government,
under charge of any Indian superin-
tendent or agent, or any Indian,
including mixed bloods, over whom
the government, through its depart
ments, exercises guardianship, and
any person who shall introduce or
attempt to introduce any malt,
spirituous or vinous liquor, in
Guiding beer, ale and wine, or any
ardent or Intoxicating liquor of any
kind whatsoever into the Indian
country, which term shall include
any Indian allotment while the
title to the same shall be held in
trust by the government, or while
the same shall remain inalienable
by the allottee without the consent
of the United States, shall be pun
ished by imprisonment for not less
than 90 days, and by fine of not
less than 500 for the first offense,
and not less than $2co for each Of
fense thereafter; provided, however,
that the person convicted shall be
committed until fine and costs are
paid. But it shall be a sufficient
defense to any charge ofintroducing
or attempting to introduce ardent
spirits, ale, beer, wine or intoxicat-
ing liquors into the Indian country
that the acts charged were done
under authority, in writing, from
the war department or any officer
duly authorized thereunto by the
war department.
Sec. 2. That SO much of the act
of the 23d day of July, 1892, as is
inconsistent with the provisions Of
this act is hereby repealed. Ap-
proved, January 80, 1897"

Hasn't Oregon got a beautiful
prospect before it in the next
congress? 1t looks now like the
delegation will be composed of
Mcbride in the senate, and Ellis
and Tongue in the house. The
former is a physical wreck and
unable to look after many of the
arduous duties in person. Of the
other two Ellis always was
feather-weight and Tongue goes
back with a contest against him
which will cripple all his capacity
for good for his state. And this is
the delegation that takes the place
Of the one formerly composed OF
Dolph, Mitchell and Hermann,
delegation of which every coast and
western state were jealous OF.
Verify, it has been new deal"

Leaks All Stopped.

i = in stopping others, saving
great deal of money to the tax
payers in the coming year"
The above utterance is from a
paper which is at present busily
engaged in spreading taffy all over
the county court, in an article COM
posed principally of quotation
marks. Unfortunately the article
fails to state just what leaks the
court has stopped. Now this is
grievous error, and one which
should be rectifed. Does it mean
the leak whereby a commissioner
from March Ist, 1898, to October I,
1898 drew $273 in per diem and
$III.2o in mileage, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the journal of the
court shows that during that time
the commissioners court was in
session but IS days? Or does it
mean the leak by which the same
commissioner charged the county
with So per day for work at Cor
wallis, and then charged S. per
night for the nights during the
same time? Perhaps the paper
refers to the leak where a commits
sioner travelled two days to inspect
a bridge in the south part of the
county, and then stated in the
presence of a credible witness that
he never saw the bridge at all, but
supposed it was all right, but did
not fail to collect his per diem and
mileage. Or does the paper mean
the leak that was attached to a
certain county warrant drawn for
the entertainment of engineers at
Newport, and on which there was
supposed to have been an unex-
pended balance that was never
turned back to the county? Maybe
the leak referred to is in the matter
Of collecting mileage for IS miles
from Newport to Toledo, where the
extra miles are thrown in to make
it count up even3 Or maybe the
leak is in having a rump session of
the court in January, which session
was neither authorized by law, or
called by the court, but cost the
county the per diem and mileage of
the commissioners? Who knows
but what the leak referred to was in
refusing to accept from Nash &
Jones the absolute gift of block Of
land in Toledo for county purposes,
with the only stipulation attached
being that when the county did
erect county buildings that it be on
that block. 1t is possible that one
of the leaks referred to was in
getting the county into series of
lawsuits, all of which will necessitate
more or less trips to Corvallis, by
the county judge.
But it is more than probable that
none of the abovenamed leaks were
referred to. The leak which was
stopped just in time to save the
county was the terrible bills of the
LEADER for county printing. These
bills last year aggregated the i'm
mense sum of nearly SI2, outside
of job work. By cutting the rate
in two this will save the county the
enormous sum of nearly six dollars
per year.
Stop the leaks.
Pile on the taffy.
