LIEUT., LANSDALE'S WATCH.
Mataafa Aids in It's Recovery and Ex-
presses Good Will.

The President yesterday afternoon re-
ceived Mr.. John George Leigh, who has
spent several months in Samoa as special
correspondent of the London Times. and
is now on his way back to England. While
in one of the black villages of upolu Mr..
Leigh learned that watch, believed To
have belonged to either Lieut.. Lansdale or
Ensign Monaghan, the two officers of the
United States cruiser Philadelphia who
were killed during the recent hostilities
against Mataafa, had been found, and was
in the possession of a native. He at once
communicated with Mataafa, whom he had
visited only a few days previously, and
promptly received reply from the high
chief. assuring him that no effort would be
spared to recover the relic, and begging
him, should the search prove successful, to
restore the watch to the rightful owners,
with my heartfelt condolences He
added: You know what feel about Amer
lea and the late unhappy war. At the
same time he placed at Mr.. Leighs COM
mand his grandson and a boats crew, who
were instructed to carry in every necessary
direction Mataafa's order to his adherents.
While these messengers were in the Island
of Savii watch and chain, with locket and
other articles attached, were handed to
Mr.. Leigh, and identified as the property of
the late Lieut.. Lansdale. A few days later
the correspondent left Samoa for San Fran
cisco. where he met the young widow of
kets in her possession. Long ago, at the
instigaton Of her family and of Lansdale's
comrades in the navy, unsuccessful efforts
had been made to trace the articles; so
hope that they ever would be found had
been practically abandoned.
Mr.. Leigh this afternoon handed to the
President a letter from Mataafa, which,
after referring to the return Of the watch,
says:
MAY it be the will Of God that there will
never again be strife between America and
the. Samoans, and that the three powers
will recognize my submission to their will
and desire for good government l pray
that God may give you long life"
The President expressed himself much
gratified with this proof Of Mataafa's
thoughtful humanity, and said that it
would afford him more than ordinary pleas
ure to personally respond to the letter. He
very warmly thanked Mr. Leigh for having
personally conveyed the relics to Mrs.
Landslide. When Mr.. Leigh left Samoa
active endeavors were being made to re-
cover Ensign Monaghans watch. and Mr..
Leigh believes that it will follow him to
Washington by the mail due in a week or
so. In that event, 1t will of course be at
once forwarded to the relatives.

SERIOUS RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Engineer Charlie Evans Receives Broken

Last Saturday evening Charlie
Evans, one of the oldest and most pop
ular railroad engineers in the employ
of the o. r. & N. Co. met with very
severe accident about a mile this size
of Airing ton. He was driving engine
No. Y attached to the Spokane train
going east, when the side rod of his
engine broke. the end being driven up
with great force through the floor of
the cab and catching Mr.. Evans leg
crushing the right foot terribly aud
breaking the bones of the leg between
the knee and ankle.
Mr.. Evans was taken to Arlington
where physician cared for m'Tuntil
the arrival of train No. 3 which took
him to Portland, where Drs. A. D. and
E. K. Mckenzie, of Portland, and DIR.
Fl. Logan, of this place, amputated
the leg just below the knee in St.
Vincent's hospital Sunday forenoon.
Mr.. Evans had been in the EN- ploy
of the company for many years, and
was one of the most trusty engineers
on the road. Lately he had coutem-
plated Quitting ra'lroading, having ac-
cumulated enough property that he
could retire from work, as be owns
fine farm II miles from Portland, and
he had arranged to retire from the
road next December. His family re-
side in Portland, and he will have
every care that can be'given him dur
ing his misfortune. His many friends
here will be pleased to learn that he
recovered from the operation as well
as could be expected and that his con-
dition is not considered dangerous.

Senator Teller Here.

U. S. Senator Fl. M Teller and wife,
of Colorado, visisted The Dalles last
night, having come up from Portland
by boat and took the late train for the
east. Senator and Mrs. Teller are just
making tour of the Pacific coast for
pleasure, and his visit has no connec-
tion whatever with politics.
Having been in the senate for so
many years, Mr.. Teller is thoroughly
conversant with the needs of the coast,
and has ever been friendly to the i'm
prOvemenG of rivers and harbor
especially in Oregon and Washington.
In speaking of the canal and locks at
Cascades, he said he took pride in hav.
ing been instrumental in securing ap.
preparations for their construction and
especially after having seen them
From his conversation it is judged he
will favor the improvement of the upper
river. Like all others who come to the
coast the senator was surprised at the
recources of this country, and said he
could see nothing but brilliant aud
prosperous future for the Northwest

OF Oregon and Washington. he con
siders two elements that will make of
them two of the greatest states of the

ne less said of it the better.


No blame can be attached to Mr..
Butler, manager of the opera house,
for having billed this com bination of
failures, for he, like the audience, was
led to believe through representations
made to him that they were all right.
Had he known what kind of people
they were, he would not have allowed
them to make a date in the opera
house. Mr.. Butler states that he is
contracting with some good attrac-
tions that are coming this way, and be-
fore he allows them billed will be
convinced as to their merit, so he
hopes people will not judge what is
coming by the Georgia Minstrels.

GAVE WAY TO DESPONDENCY.
John Parent, an Old Grand Army Man,
Attempts to Suicide

Attempts to Suicide
Being afflicted with consumption,
and having no hope of ultimate re-
coyery, without means of support,
living in small shanty near the
reservoir, John Parent, an old soldier
and member of the G. A. R., in a fit of
despoudency. sent bullet crashing
into his head at bout $50 last even
ing.
For three years past he has been
sinking gradually from the effects of
the incurable disease consumption,
and had exhausted all his means
travelling from one place to another in
search of health. Some time since he
came to The Dalles with his wife and
son aged Is years, and took an old
house near the reservoir on the bluff.
He grew gradually worse, having be-
come so feeble that he could only
move about the house, and yesterday
had appeared extremely gloomy. In
the evening his wife stepped out of the
house Tor few minutes, and on re-
turning found Mr.. Parent lying on the
bed with 22-calibre rife by his side,
and in an unconscious condition.
He had placed the muzzle of the
rifle in his mouth just back OF his
front teeth and fired. Drs. Geisendorf-
fer and Logan were called and upon
examination found the ball had passed
up through the roof of the mouth, but
had gone between the two lobes of the
brain, which accounted for 1t not pro-
ducing immediate death. The patient
was in such delicate state OF health

boarded The train and were soon wend-

We reached there about 5 O'Clock in

point above which no boats can pass.
After supper we met j. A. Doutbit.
publisher of The Dalles Times-Moun-
tsineer, who offared his services and
showed us the sights of the city. We
visited some of the large stores and
business houses and were surprised at
their size and magnitude. They would
do credit to cities of ten times her
population, We also visited her wool
warehouses, the largest in the world.
Each season there is shipped from this
city of less than 5000 people, over
5000, 900 pounds of wool and 100000
bushels of wheat, besides large quanti-
ties of barley and vegetables, and an
abundance of fruit. In addition to
the above, large shipments of cattle
and sheep are constantly being made
from this little village, one of the
largest shipping points on the Colum-
bia river. the previous week to our
visit the leading bank in the city
transacted business to the amount of
81 100000 Produce is hauled to that
point from distance of over two hun
dred miles back in the country and

Numerous Big Companies are Looking
After the Northwest Trade.
Railroad building has been little
slack the past few years on this coast,
but every indication points to the
fact that the coming year will see
more track laid In Oregon and Wash
ingtOn than there has been since the
0. r. & N. and Northern Pacific lines
were completed. The MOI thern
Pacific is looking for down hill haul
out of the great wheat belt of Eastern
Washington, and is going ito have it.
If it cannot get trackage over the o.
r. & N. line it will build road down
the north side of the Colum bia, and
this appears to be almost assured, for
there is little likelihood that the o. r.
g. N. can copcede to the Northern's de-
mands, because it has about all the
Then the Southern Pacific is evidently
looking for better outlet than it has
at present in the Northwest. A. B.
Hammond, of the Astoria q Colum bia
River road, is pushing his line south
from its western terminus, which |
seems to be nothing but a connecting
link for the Southern. That is,a road |
leading from Seaside to connect with !
the Southern Pacific at some point in |
the Willamette valley. With these |
lines building and in contemplation,
the indications are that railroad COM
panies are looking to the mouth of the
river as the coming distributing point
for the Northwest; that at least three
lines-the Southern Pacific, Northern
Pacific and Union Pacific-will with.
in short time each have a terminus
near the entrance of the Columbia
river harbor. This means that big
center and shipping point will
be built up either at Warrenton,
Flavel or Astoria, and whichever one
Of those places is best adapted for this
purpose will be the railroad city aud
shipping point of the Northwest.
