GOVERNMENT RECEIPTS.
Deficit for Seven Months of This Year
*S1, 9O1 ,S23.

The receipts OF the government for the
month OF January were $37, 333, 62S39, and
the expenditures s36 696, 711.O6 a surplus
for the month of $3.50, 917.33. This surplus
turns to a deficit when there is deducted
from the regular receipts the last payment
made on the Union Pacific, s., 53S 4O1. The
deficit was discounted, the expenses for the
month being heavy in every way.
1t is estimated by Chairman Dingley and
by many treasury officials that this will be
the last month which will show a deficit
the possible exception being next April
when the quarterly payment of interest on
bonds has to be made The continued in
crease of customs receipts will probably
prevent a deficit even that month.
The source Of the receipts during the
month was as follows: Customs, $l4 269, 492:
internal revenue, $12, 4i3 1879; miscellaneous
Qncluding Union Pacific). $1,000 1885,
The expenditures for the month were az

HAWAII is OURS.
Senate Passed Annexation ResoIu-
tions. Decisive Vote of AZ
to I'll.

Washington, July o.-The an
nexation of Hawaii is now accomp-
lished, so far as the legislative
branch of the government is con-
cerned. Quite unexpectedly the
resolutions providing for the annex
alton of the islands were brought
to vote in the senate late this
afternoon, and they were passed by
a decisive vote of az to 81.
Early in today's session of the
senate, conferences OF leaders on
both sides of the chamber were
held, and tacit agreement was
reached that a vote should be taken
tomorrow or Friday at the latest.
The opponents of annexation had
practically concluded their argu-
ments, and as they had no desire to
keep the senate il session by purely
dilatory tactics, they announced
their willingness that vote should
be taken as soon as White, Petit
grew and Allen had finished tkeir
speeches. Neither White nor Pet
tigrew spoke at great length, but
Allen thought when he began that
his speech might occupy the entire
day and part of tomorrow. How
ever, he concluded to eliminate a
part Of the matter he had prepared,
and at AIS he completed his speech.
1t was evident instantly that a
vote was at hand. The word was
passed swiftly through the corridors
and committee rooms, and in a few
minutes every senator at the capitol
was in his seat. The galleries filled
rapidly, and members of the house
of representatives, learning that a
vote was to be taken, came hurriedly
to the senate side of the great
marble pile to witness proceedings
that will be historic.
The test vote came on an amend
ment offered by White. It was
offered with NO expectancy that it
would be adopted, but merely to
place the ideas and opinion of the
opponents to annexation on record.
1t was rejected by vote of 10 to
20, indicating that the annex
were strongly in the ma
jority. Amendment after amend
ment was offered, but the advo-
Gates OF theresolutions stood solidly
together, gaining rather than losing
strength on the successive votes.
Finally, at $50 p. M, the resolu.
tions themselves, in precisely the
form in which they were received
from the house of representatives,
were reported to the senate and the
roll call began. Not sound was
heard in the chamber except the
call of the clerk and the replies of
the senators.
When the vice-president an
nounced the vote by which the
resolutions were passed, a tremen.
dous wave of applause swept
through the galleries, which the,
vice-president made no effort to.
check. Those who had advocated
the resolutions expressed their
pleasure by shaking hands with
one another, and on all sides evil,
dent relief was shown that the end
had come. For few minutes so.
much good-natured confusion ex-
lsted that the dignity of the senate
was thrown aside, but Vice-Pres-,
ldent Hobart quietly reminded the
senator's that the session was not
yet at an end.

A SHOOTING AFFRAY AT FALL
CREEK.
Oscar Tom Shoots and Dangerously
Wounds r. B. Trenholm, a
Nelghbor.

Oscar Tom and R. B. Trenholm
are neighbors living on Fall creek,
above Tidewater, in the Alsea val
ley, in this county. They are both
farmers, both well-to-do people and
should dwell together in peace and
harmony, but they have gotten into
scrape by which one of them lies
at his home with a dangerous
wound in his right breast, and the
other is i'll the tolls of the law,
charged with shooting him.
The particulars of the case as
near as we can ascertain are as
follows: A day or two before the
shooting occurred, Mr.. Trenholm
hogs went up to Mr.. Toms place.
The latter put them up and sent
word TO Trenholm that lie had his
hogs put up and for him to come
and pay the damage, which he set
at 81, and get them. He also
notified him that he would charge
him 81 per day for each day that he
allowed his hogs to remain there.
This notice he sent to Mr.. Trenholm
by Barney Sets, a yonng man of
that neighborhood. Trenholm re-
ceived the notice in due time and
went up to Mr.. Toms to get his
hogs. When he arrived there it
did not take long for them to get
into dispute concerning the mat
ter, and in the alteration that
followed it is said that Mr.. Tren-
holm siezed a club, or it is said bv.
some, piece of scantling, and
started to attack Tom with it. As
Trenholm came toward him Tom
raised his revolver which he had
been carrying in his hand and fired
three shots at him, one of the
shots striking him in the right
breast, just above the right nipple,
dangerous and possibly
fatal wound. Just which shot
struck Trenholm and inflicted the
wound is not known, and upon
this matter there is some disagree
nent.
There was two witnesses to the
s shooting, a young man by the
name of Warfield, a nephew of Mr..
Tom, and son of Mr.. Trenholm.
After the shooting the wounded
man was taken home and Drs.
Logan, of Philomath, and Pernot,
of Corvallis, were called to his bed
side, and his wound was attended
to, The physicians pronounced
the wound dangerous and possibly
fatal. A warrant was issued for
Mr.. Tom and he was taken before
Justice Of the Peace Goodman
where he was given preliminary
hearing. The evidence before the
committing magistrate was along
the line noted above, and the mag
istrate considered that there was
cause to hold the defend
ant to the grand jury, and he COM
mitted him without bonds to await
the action of that body. The de-
fendant was placed in the charge of
F. B. Carnes, the acting constable,
who brought him to Toledo and
placed him in the Gus tody of Sheriff
Lands who in turn turned him
over to Sheriff Ross, and in whose
custody and care he is now.
From the best information oD-
there has been bad feeling
between the two principals in the
affair for some time, but whether
his previous feeling had anything
to do with the present difficulty or

The Saddle Question,

More different saddles are on the
market to confuse inexperienced riders
than ever before With all the divers
ity of pattern, however, they may be
roughly divided into two classes
those which offer a broad, soft rest
ing place on the wheel, and those
which are simply working base for
the rider. The first class takes in all
the "hygienic," anatomical" pneu-
matte and neutrality-suspicious. sad
dies; while the latter class includes the
hard, or slightly padded affairs with
narrow backs and long, narrow POM
mels. Each class is found by many
to be the only comfortable kind.
The question with riders is, sub
stantially, whether they should choose
a seat or saddle. The only answer
to be found is in the style of their po-
sition. Riders who distribute their
weight between the pedals, handle bars
and saddle, and keep themselves so
poised as to be always ready to shift
their weight, want chiefly solid,
shapely base to brace against, with
something of pommel to keep them
from sliding off. This class of riders
often find the broad, soft saddles ac-
tually uncomforta BILE. The riders who
sit on wheel as they do on a chair
want as broad and soft a seat as will
permit them to work their legs, and
are apt to find the best shaped Of the
hard, narrow saddles wearisome.

ed in one or two ways, either N put

so that it may be taken to pieces, more

been many times repeated and this
would destroy the rigidity of the ma

remarkable particular. The average
density of the great moon is less than
that OF the earth, while according to
Or. WaltematEs figures the average
density Of the new moon must be about
the same as the earth. In other words,
while it is very small body, it must
be heavy in proportion to it's size. In
regard to the effect which such a body
revolving around the earth las Or.
Waltemath says it does. in a period Of
about 1T days. would have upon our
planet, it may be remarked that the
only certain influence that any heaven
ly body has upon the earth is in the
raising Of the tides in the ocean, and
in the atmosphere. Now body weigh
ing only Use as much as the moon,
and at the same time more than 21%
times further away, would possess prac-
tically no tidal influence The height
OF the tide which it could raise in the
ocean would be measured only by hun
dredths of an inch instead of several
feet, as in the case OF the Old moon
Its influence upon the atmosphere
would be correspondingly slight.
Nevertheless, a body of such mass as
DR.. Waltemath says the new moon has
would unquestionably affect the motion
Of the old moon to perceptible degree,
and might account for the irregulari-
ties in the motions of the moon, which
have for long puzzled astronomers and
which in fact were partly the cause of
the original speculations concerning
the existence of second moon. AS to
the visibility of the alleged new moon,
it may be said that if it were capable
of rejecting the sunlight as brilliant
~ as the larger moon does it ought not
to be a difficult telescope object to see.
1t should appear to be about one-two-
hundredths as great as the full moon.
Allowing for it's greater distance, it
would then, if it's serface is equal in
power Of reflection to that of the moon,
show about one fifteen hundredths of
the light that is received from the
moon. Evidently, however, it cannot
