the Sharpshooters is still unsettled.
Colonel Fisher has not yet submitted
the concessions of the regiment in writ

further steps in the matter. The lat

for the match were, that several CT

some extra practice. Having had 10
matches on hand of late, the captain
feels that his marksmen are not so
well equipped for contest as they
might be. He points to the regiment
as fresh from a long, diligent practice
for big shoot.

New York, April 27.-The special train
bearing the vice presidential party to
the Grant ceremonies arrived at Jersey
City yesterday afternoon. The entire trip
had been pleasantly uneventful, and the
senators and representatives seemed al
most 10th to leave the cars. Vice Presi-
dent Hobart and Mrs. Hobart walked at
the head OF the procession through the
small crowd on the platform to a car
riage which was waiting for them, and
were then driven on board the Jersey
City ferryboat and landed at Twenty
third street. this city, whence they were
driven to their respective stopping places.
During the run from Philadelphia to
jersey City the vice president and Speak
er Reed held their respective dinner par
ties.
OF the famous men who travelled on this
train perhaps none was more spoken of
than General Longstreet. His venerable
face and tall figure, now somewhat bent
with age, brought back to mind the days
when. in the prime of his life, he led
the southern forces in many a fierce as
sault.
General Longstreet, in a written state
ment, paid a high tribute to General
Grant, declaring: ITO the brave men Of
the other side of the great struggle my
people send messages to crown this au-
gust occasion. We turn from the setting
star of the confederacy to accept the
glorious flag of the Union and to put it
above our hearthstones and love it as we
love our noble women; we stand guard
about and uphold it forever; it's glories
are ours, with unsullied hearts, undivided
people, undivided arms to protect it's trl-
umphs."

STREET CAR RAN OFF A BRIDGE.
Three Persons Dead at Portland and
Many Injured.

Portland Ore. April 2S-An electric
street car of the City and Suburban COM
pany Mount Tabor left the track yes.er-
day morning and plunged through
bridge which spans the slough on East
Morrison street. Three people were drow-
ned and Is more or less injured. The
dead are:
w. w. Blanchard aged As, engineer of
the Acme flour mill
Newton Hansen, aged 16 employe of the
Great Eastern Tea company.
Miss Catherine Baillie, aged 20, of llli-
nois. Miss Baille was visiting Mrs. Al
exander at Mount Tabor.
There were "a people in the car. The
car was running down mill from East
Twelfth street at a speed of Is miles an
hour, and on reaching a curve so feet
from the bridge. it left the track. The
momentum the car had gained carried /.
about $50 feet, when the -imbers of the
bridge gave way and precipitated the car
into the lagoon 20 feet below. The con-
CuctOr who was on the rear platform,
shouted to jump, but only a few We're
able to get out. The motorman jumped
when he saw that he coul1 not stop the
car. The water where the car struck
was only eight feet deep, and the car was
not submerged In the fall the trucks
were broken from the superstructure of
the car, which fact saved number or
lives, as the upper portion soon fioated
and allowed those who had not been stun
ned to escape. Some of the victims swan
ashore, while others waited until help ar
rived. After the car had been raised it
was found that an axle had been broken,
which was probably the cause of the
accident.
The car was running by gravity, it be-
ing the custom to turn off the current at
the top of the hill The motorman claim
ed he could not stop the car with the
brakes.
Motorman j. D. Kieffer left the wreck
soon after it occurred and has not been
seen since. He will be arrested.

WAR AND STATE or BUSINESS.
Uncertainty of the Situation Has At
fected the Trade.

New York, April 25.-If Turkey or
Greece had been wholly buried in the sea
the markets might have been affected less
than by the outbreak of war in Europe
Like fire in the heart of a crowded city
1t raised the question whether a general
confiagration might spring out of it. To
this possibility, and not to the direct in
fiuence of either Turkey or Greece, upon
the worlds money or produce market was
due the excitement in grain and stocks.
AS the unknown is magnified, American
markets were much more Eighty than the
European, where possibilities have been
discussed and partly discounted for
months. The uncertainty remains and
will affect the movement of money and
staples until it disappears, creating a
larger demand for American products at
higher prices, says r. G.. Dun & Co.'S. in
it's review of the business situation. Sales
of wool have been largely Offering, re-
ceipts being sweled by arrivals of guam
titles sold some time ago; and imports at
Boston for the week are $1,000 bales. Fer
the three chief cities sales were 34,036, 500
pounds in three weeks, 2027l. 800 being for
eign, against 100 in 1892, including
7,574.000 foreign. But manufacturers are
doing scarcely anything, and orders for
goods improve little. though for somewhat
better grades of goods Failures for The
week, 21S, against 23S last year.

Train Was Wrecked in the Under
ground Railway.

London, April 2T.-A tremendous expo-
sion occurred in the underground rail-
way as a train filed with men from the
city was making it's usual stop at Alders-
gate station. The glass roof of the sta
ton was blown out and the platform was
strewn with debris Many of the PAS
lights were put out and a general panic
ensued.
When comparative quiet was restored
1t was found that a first class coach had
been completely wrecked. and that It's
occupants were lying about MANNED ami
bleeding. Ten of the injured were found
to be in a precarious condition. and were
removed to hospitals A number of pei
sons who were standing on the platform
were also hurt. Much of the wrecl<a2e
was hurled across the station. The cause
of the explosion is not known, but 1t is
believed to have been the result of an
accumulation of gas which became ignit
ed in some way. Many persons, how
ever, believe that the disasted was not
due to accident, but was caused by the
explosion of a bomb, which had been
placed in the station with the intention
of wrecking It,

MINERS PROTESTS ARE READ.
Bills Pushed Through the British CO.
Iumbia legislature.

Victoria, B. c., April 26-There has
been much talk over Kelles vigorous
attack in committee on the Nelson 4
Fort Sheppard BILL which extended the
time for the company to survey and take
up the land grant. Kelie denounced in
strong terms the railway taking timber
Off mining claims and levying tribute on
miners to be allowed to keep their timber.
In support of this Kellie brought out a
number of affidavits of miners with COM
plants substantiating what he had said
In reply to this the attorney general
said that If miners had any complaint of
this kind all they had to do was to take
out legal proceedings and the courts
would soon bring the company to time if
they were acting illegally.
The Cassair Central railway aid bill. on
the second reading being moved by Pre-
mer Turner, provoked a great deal of
criticism from the opposition. The bill,
as stated yesterday, leases q certain
amount of land to the railway for so
years, and miners going on that particu-
lar lard must go halves with the COM
pany on minerals taken out. This was
the feature of the bill that caused debate,
the government saying that there was
plenty of mineral land outside the lease
and that unless the railway were built
the country was too hard for miners g
go in and work prohtably.
The second reading passed on division
by to 10, and the British Pacific bill, OK
tending the time for commencing expend-
iture required to hold the charter, passed
the second reading. The Barkerville, Ash
croft & Kamloops railway bill was read
the third time and passed. and the second
reading passed of the bill TO appoint q
mining inspector.
