THE MARSHAL WILL ACT.

Marshal Brown and his deputy,
Charles Chillingsworth, have been
busy in the court most of the morn

was postponed till this afternoon.
Marshal Brown said: Il intend to be
present at the inquest and to have a
thorough investigation. / understand
that there are many rumors to the eff
feet that the electric light people were
notified of the short circuit that caus-
ed the accident some time before il

There is a good deal of street talk
this morning to the effect that the
whole Government system of electric
lighting is in a bad and consequently
dangerous state. This, of course, is a

prompt and thorough investigation by
the government.

0REG0N'S MANILA GUARDS.
Military Organization ofForty Pretty
Girls, the Sweethearts of
brave Volunteers.

Z There has been organized at Nc
Minnville, Ore, company OF 40 young
women calling themselves the manila
guards" Their object is moral, phys
ical and intellectual Improvement.
They are the sisters, sweethearts
and schoolmates Of the Oregon vol
linteers who went to Manila. Beauty
and physical excellence are necessary
qualifications of members, and this
climate furnishes some excellent
types. Ages rangc from 16 to 21 years,
and the members are the daughters of
the best people of the city and coun-
try.
The girls are neatly uniformed and
equipped as nearly like the boys in
blue as conditions will allow--a snug.
fitting blouse of blue cloth, with brass
buttons and blue skirt, cut nine inches
from the floor, with two white stripes
of braid down each side. Tan leg
gings are worn, and blue fatigue
cap, with o tiny broom made Of manila
and wrapped with red, white and blue
cord as pompon, constitutes the
head-dress. On the left breast is worn
q five-point star, made of manila, and
wrapped with red, white and blue
thread.
The guard is equipped with swrods,
belts and haversacks, and is drilled by
an old army veteran in marching and
saber drill, the latter according to the
old Stevenson tactics They have
attained high proficiency in drill, and
their fame has become state wide.
They gave an exhibition drill on the
Fourth Of July and created sensa-
ton.
These pretty cavaliers will attend
the annual regatta at Astoria. They
WIN travel over 300 miles by rail and
boat. All expenses will be paid. by
the regatta committee. They are de-
termined to be the chief attraction
and are brushing up their uniforms
and drilling daily for the trip.
Orders have been issued for the AS
toria campaign. Two blankets,
sheet and pillow viii be allowed
TO each member, and two must bunk
together, tying their effects in one
bundle.
Discipline is very rigid. which is nee
essary to control 40 romping, healthy
girls. Rising and retiring at appoint
"a hours are required, Breaches Of
discipline are punishable by reducing
officers to the ranks and the dismissal
Of erratic ones from membership.

GOLD MINES OF SIBERIA.
Marvellous Riches in That Misunder-
stood Country-PoliticnI Ex-
files Miners.
Keep your eye on Siberia

keep your eye on Siberia"
That is what a scientific writer on
the old problem wrote only six months
ago, and those who have visited that
supposedly bleak, cold and dismal
country may fairly echo his words.
Siberia has been misunderstood. For
40 years now mines have been opened
all over the country. In Tomsk min
lister of mines is permanently resident,
as well as at Irkutsk, while the num-
ber Of people employed in the mining
industry is considerably in excess of
100000.
Yet in spite of the marvellous rich
ness Of the country, which has been
described by more than one writer as
likely to become second California.
little or no attempt has been made by
foreigners to enter and to take up the
industry Of gold mining. Yet the gov
ernment is anxious that such should
be the case, and in order to facilitate
the importation of foreign energy and
brain to the great Siberian gold fields
special concessions are held out to
foreigners which the native does not
enjoy.
Russian law is peculiar, complicated
and little awe-inspiring, and this
may have great effect upon the cap
italist, backed up as 1t is by the ex-
traordinary prejudice which still ex-
lists in civilized Europe against every
thing Russian.
In many respects Siberia resembles
the Klondike district, Many Of the
mines are situated In places equally
as inaccessible in winter, and which
have the same characteristics in sum
mer. The alluvial deposits are free
and in some cases rich. Quartz there
is, but with the exception of one or
two places this has never yet been
tapped, and In the whole Of Siberia
at the present time there Is not single
efficient battery for quartz crushing
this statement on the authority Of Mr..
Shostok, the minister Of mines for ST.
IBERIA. Nor is there any machinery
for the proper washing Of alluvial gold,
and vet millionaire gold miners, free
men or exiles, may be found by the
dozen in Tomsk, Irkutsk and Krasno-
airsk The practiced miner, fresh 4
from the fields Of western Australia,
British Columbia or California, would
doubtless laugh hugely at the print
tive arrangements In use in Siberia.

free coinage Of silver at the ratio OF

by the unanswerable arguments on

the logic Of results since the election.
He concludes his article with these
words: ave have never accused the
silver men Of being dishonest. We
are satisfied that the mass Of them
are deeply impressed with the justice
of that cause, as we also were at one
time. But we are just as thoroughly
convinced now that free silver at 10

the question. Some people are so
wise that that they know it all at the
beginning and never therefore have
any cause to change their views. We
own up that we are not one OF them "

that the railroads owned the Leedy

Then they promised you a board Of

Hanna Roasts Leedy.

Senator u. w. mamma OF tnlS us
trict. one Of the leading Populists Of
the state, is giving Leedy some hot
criticism that hurts. Hanna is doing
all he can to defeat Leedy because he
says the administration is not fit to
rule Kansas. 10 reporter for the
Capital Mr.. Hanna unbosomed him
self this week.
81 will give you my platform in
part" said Senator Hanna, and he
drew from his pocket the following:
"Whereas, The Peoples party plat
form Of 1896 pledged reduction Of
salaries, and
"Whereas, The legislature reduced
the appropriations for the salaries Of
state house employees for that pur.
pose in accord with the platform, and
"Whereas, The present employees
at the state house are disregarding
said pledge and drawing their salaries
at the old partisan rate Of former &C.
cupants,
"Resolved, That we condemn the
employees SO acting, and ask that they
be required to vacate their offices and
make room for Populists who will
respect the pledge Of the party and
urge that the state officers now ask
ing reelection see that our party
pledge is honored in this respect"
Continuing Senator Hanna said;
"The Republicans could make a
truthful as we'll as one Of the best
campaigns this year against Governor
Leedy and his strikers by attacking
them on the platform Of '96 where
they declared that the salaries Of the
officers should DO reduced, especially
the state officers and appointees' and
when they had both branches Of the
legislature, failed to change the laws,
but passed an appropriation bill in
accordance with the platform OF '96
in order that the employees could not
draw more than the amount Of the
appropriation, with the expectation
of the next legislature making up the
deficiency, so they could then draw
the full amount according to law now
on the statute books, together with
the deficiency. l never will consent
nor vote to make good the deficiency,
for | believe the party should stand
upon its acts and carry out its plat
form"
In regard to railroad legislation,
Senator Hanna said; III the bill in
troduced by Leedy while he was in
senate, and the bill he vetoed as gov
ernor, were both read before an audi
ence, the people would swear that
they were the same. The one he in
troduced in the senate was for politi'
cal gain, and the one vetoed was to
enable him to retain the governor
ship.
III the Republican orators will at
tack the Populists on this line'" the
senator said, "there is no question II
my mind that the voters will believe
them, for they are facts. And fur
Their, all the laws passed by the Pop
ulist legislature have been found tf
be unconsti tutional, with the excep
ton Of the stock yards law, and this
succeeded in driving the stock yards
company out Of the State which has
resulted in the shippers paying the
same charges they did before and NO
good has come to the farmers Of
stockmen through its enactment.
