Two Schemes to Tap Big Timber Belt
logging Railways May Be Built.
Astoria, Or, oct. S.-Two extensive
schemes are now on foot to increase the
output Of logs, which find their way
into the Columbia. Both are in the
nature of logging railways to tap the
timber belts on the north side of the
river, and parties Of surveyors are said
to be now in the field, making the pre-
liminary surveys. One scheme Is said
to be backed 10y the combined lumber
interests of the Columbia river. Its
plan is said to be to construct road
from the Columbia at point near
llwaco to Saltwater bay, thus tapping
one of the richest spruce belts in West
en- Washington. The other enterprise
Is backed ny a private logging com
pany, and contemplates building line
from the head of Deep river into the
salmon creek country. Both OF these
districts are filled with valuable tim
Der, much of which is spruce, and the
building Of these roads would make
accessible to the Columbia river mill
ing interests thousands OF acres of tim
Der that is at present wholly tributary

Washington, oct. Ex-senator Nor
gan, of the Hawaiian commission, ar
rived in Washington today, and called
at the White House for an hours con-
ference with the president. In answer
to inquiries the senator said that the
members OF the commission would
meet here about November 20 and pre-
pare and present their report to the
president and congress. He declined
to discuss the report, further than to
say that the published reports OF what
the commission would recommend
were wrong in every essential partcu-
lar.
"Of course" he said, 1--WE favor q
territorial form Of government, az that
was plainly the intention Of congress-
as shown IN the act authorizing the
creation OF the commission, but what
particular form of territorial govern
ment we shall recommend cannot now
be stated"
The senator, in speaking of the Phil
ippine question, said that in his judg-
nent the United States should retain
possession Of the whole group OF islands,
giving to the natives the right to gov
ern themselves within certain limlta.
tions and under the general supervisory
control OF the United States.

were last night held up In boX-car
and robbed between Pennington and

and told them to stand back, but they
did not comply. Warren struck down
the pistol arm of one Of the robbers
and was shot In the shin, suffering ~
flesh wound. At the same instant the
other two robbers fired at Noble, one
ball taking effect in the shoulder, the
other doing but little harm. Warren
then escaped from the car. He ran
back TO the caboose and told his story
to the conductor, who went to investi-
gate. AS he appeared at the door Of
tie car the robbers fred at him, and
then escaped by jumping from the
train. Officers at all the neighboring
towns have been notified, and are ON
the lookout for the trio.

harvest wages. Two weeks ago he was

MRS. 9OTkiN'S CASE.

OF the governor of Delaware, and order
the issuance OF his warrant for the de-
livery OF Mrs. Botkln to Detective Nc
Noy, agent of the state of Delaware.
Last Saturday, Chief of Police Lees re-
celved the new set of requisition pa
pere, and Monday they were submitted
to Governor Budd. To-day he gave lis
opinion. He said two questions which
had received his careful consideration
presented themselves: First, could
Mrs. Botkin be tried in this state Tor
the MURDER Second, was she legally
fugitive from the justice of state in
which she had never been? There was
wide divergence of opinion among at
torneys as to whether or not she could
be triod here. There Was but one SUI
preme court decision upon the question
Of her being q fugitive, and in that
ease two justices held that the defend
ant was, and three that she was not.
The governor did not believe that she
was, but thought the law should be
tested, and if it be defective, it could
be amended. For that reason, he
would issue the requisition papers and
Mrs. Botkin's attorney could carry the
matter to the supreme court on habeas

Spaniards nnd Islanders Are Settling
Old Quarrels.

San Juan de Porto Rico, Oct s.
The Alicante arrived here yesterday
morning, aud will sail for Spain today
with $50 sick Spanish soldiers.
Tuesday Captain Arlegui, Of the
civic guard at Bayamo, was severely
stabbed by some persons unknown. 1t
is thought he will die. He is much
disliked by the islanders. The officials
at Bayamo promptly made several ar
rests. including prominent physician,
DR.. st. Hall. Captain Aregui and St.
Hall have long been bitter personal
enemies. The physician is known as
an American sympathizer. He had TO
leave the island during the war, and
but recently returned. When arrested
he was on sick bed, from which he
was removed to the Jail. Popular opin-
ion acquits him of any connection with
the stabbing.
Trouble of this character has been
feared for some time at Bayamo. A
Spanish resident recently asked fol-
American protection. General Brooke
replied that it was impossible TO furnish
this until the SpanaIds had evacuated
the island, and that in the meantime
the Spaniards must look to Spanish au.
thorities for protection. The Bayamo
occurrence increases the apprehension
among the Spaniards at san Juan,
where there have been similar incidents
during the last few days. There is
rumor that old scores will be settled by
the islanders, and anonymous handbills
are circulated, all to.the same tenor.
Nevertheless, II there is no protraoted
interval between the Spanish evacua-
ton and the American occupation of
San Juan, serious disorders are not
likely to occur here.
