New York Stock Letter.

NEW YORK, April 27.-The market
still continues TO be a rather disap-
pointing me-. With easy and favorable
crop prospects there is no appreciable
increase in outside interest.
The Atcaison statement showing a
decrease in net earnings for March
was something of a shock and while il
perhaps did not bring out anything
in the way of general liquidation it
did encourage short selling by trad
ers. If the market is going to do any
good. it ought to do it now.
We fear, however, the load is too
big for the wagon.
Total sales 3S4. 400. Money closed
offered 2 per cent.

TIES UP A CRUISER.
Virginia Court Enjoins Launching
Of the Galveston at
Richmond.

Richmond, Va, June 2O.-Judge
Grinnan, of the Richmond chancery
court, has granted an injunction re-
straining Lieutenants Thesis and Gros-
deck, United States navy, from pro-
ceeding further toward the launching Of
the cruiser Galveston, under construc-
tion in the Trigg shipyards here. The
injunction was granted on petition of
S. II. Halves & Co., of this city, sup
ply creditors of Trigg & Co., now in
the hands of receiver, and restrained
the officials and all other persons from
in any way interfering with any of the
property at the Trigg yards under con-
troll of Mi.burn T. Myers, the receiver,
and especially the cruiser Galveston
and the dredge Benyard, under con-
struction for the government.
Lieutepants Thesis and Grosdeck
were sent by the navy department to
superintend the launching of the Gal
weston, which it was the intention of
the navy department to send to Nor
folk navy yard for completion. All
preparations had been made for launch
ing the vessel Monday next.
Washington, June 20-It is said
here that proper respect will be shown
mandates of the courts so long as they
keep within their jurisdiction, but the
navy department cannot submit to any
interference with its rights. The cruis-
or Galveston at Richmond, it is stated =,
will be launched when ready. Secre-
tary Moody is not at all disposed to act
hastily regarding the Galveston, but
indefinite delay upon the construction
of the vessel in the event of an interna-
tional emergency might prove a grave
matter, and the depai tment is therefore
bound to proceed with the work as rap
idly as possible.
Must Keep Hands on.
Attorney General Knox was unwill-
ing to be quoted until his opinion rem
dered to the president az to the juris-
diction of the government over the Gal
weston, has been made public.
1t can be stated, however, that the
attorney general recognizes as eminent
ly well taken the contention advanced
by Rear Admiral Bowles, chief of the
bureau OF construction and repair, that
no court has the right to interfere with
the work on war vessel and that the
government would be warranted in cal
ling federal troops to protect it's agents
engaged in such work.
1t is not expected that the govern
ment will have to resort to show of
naval or military force to execute it's
ORDERS.

SHEEP FOR NORTH.
Frye-Brnhn Company will Ship 25,-
600 to AIeutians.

Seattle, June GA gigantic stock
raising enterprise in connection with
Alaska is being undertaken by the
Frye Bruhn Company. 1t involves the
importation to the Aleutian islands for
stock breeding purposes of no lees than
$50, 90 sheep. The first consignment,
8 200 head, will be shipped north on
the steamer Melville Dollar, which ar
rived in port Friday morning from San
Francisco The vessel was specially
chartered tor this service, and will car
ry only sheep and the forage necessary
Tor their suetenance while en- voyage.
Between now and fall the vessel will
take north two more consignments each
of about that number of stock.
The Frye-Bruhn Company has al
ready demonstrated by actual expert
ment that sheep will thrive on the
Aleutian islands. Wloves are their
greatest menace. The winters on the
islands of the archipelago to the west
of Cooks inlet are not more rigorous
than those on Puget Sound. Sheep can
live and thrive SO long as they are pro-
tected from the entertainments of wolves
and other wild animals, and they will
multi ply at an astonishing rate. The
sheep being shipped to the Aleutians
will have no other food supply than
that which they may obtain from the
islands.

CHICAGOANS MAY EAT.
Strike of Walters and Cooks Is
Compromised.

Chicago, June 22.-The strike OF the
walters and cooks is a thing of the past
and the majority of the men are again
at work. 1t was agreed that rs per
cent of the men shall resume their old
places at once, and the remainder are
to have their positions within ten days.
On the question of absolute recogni-
ton of the union, on which the strikers
have been 30 obdurate, the agreement
provides for freedom on both sides.
The hotel and restaurant proprietors
are to have the right to employ what
help they choose, no matter whether it
belongs tn the union Or not. The EN-.
ployes have the right to join the union
or remain out of it as they choose, and
there is to be no discrimination against
either union or nonunion men.
This is substantial victory for the
proprietors. The question of an in
crease in wages wac left open for settle
ment, and if not arranged by July =
is to 90 before borad of arbitration.
The union has heretofore refused to ar
bitrate anything.

Columbia Student TO Collect Inform
alton for Government.
New York, June 2O.-Harry Hull St.
Claire, Columbia university student,
will start for Oregon on Monday to pre-
pare for stay of several months in
the immense foreet of Oregon with the
Siletz tribe of Indians. He will adapt
himself to his surroundings and live
with the Indians, studying their Ian
guage. customs, legends and history,
and upon his return will compile iec-
ord of the tribe.
Mr.. st. Claire, who has made an ex-
haustive study of American Indian life
and languages for several years, is I'M
dertaking his present trip at the in
stance of the bureau of ethnology of
the Smithsonian institution at Wash
ington, and when his record has been
compiled it will be placed on file in
this bureau and serve as the official
authentic report on that tribe. The re-
port will be all the more valuable, as
hitherto no thorough investigation has
been made regarding the habits of the
Siletz tribe, and very little is known
about their language.

Washington, June 19.-Postmosto.
General Payne has made public the ~

lariteis in the postal administrat;on
and also reports of inspection and -

1899, and July 81, 1900, together with
the transcript of the Tulloch charooa
made some years ago and the conclu>
sions thereon then reached by Postmas.
ter General Charles Emory Smith
These papers constitute by far the most
significant documents yet made nnbl;o
as result of the sweeping postal inves.
tigation. The reports show the exist.
ence of many Irregularities during the
period involved. The inspector who
investigated the Irregularities reports
that the files of the postoffice cashier
show direct orders from superior an.
thority for the disbursement of all the
questionable items cited.
The inspectors report is very volum-
inous, citing many instances where two
or more salaries were drawn bv the
same person. In concluding his report
the inspector states that the files Of
the cashiers office show fully direct and
positive orders from superior authority
for the disbursement of all the question.
able items mentioned in the Inspectors
report, that the responsibility for the
many illegal appointments, the nav.
ment of two alariss to one and the
same person, and the disbursement of
thousands of dollars for which practic.
ally no service was performed, should
be placed where it practically belongs
and the many abuses corrected.
The report of Inspector Little on the
investigation of the Washington post.
office, dated July 81. 1900, says that a
number of clerks were added to the
rolls without authority of the postmas
ter and that the postmaster states that
at times it has been difficult at times
to find room for all assigned to his rolls.
There is nothing in either the mem.

the conclusions of former Postmaster

HEPPNER HORROR
DEATH LIST ESTIMATES GROW
ING SOMEWHAT.
Reports of Thursday and Friday
Were too LOw--Believed Identi-
That Actnal\ Loss of Life Will
BE Considerably Greater.

Heppner, Or, June 20.-Develop-
the Heppner death list will pass the
estimates of the last two days. Now
prominent citizens are beginning to
make estimates from $50 up, no one
falling below the former number. Not
all these bodies will be found. Some
are washed to the Columbia river, forty
miles away. and some are probably
buried in cellar bottoms right in town.
There are several large shifts of men at
work, and corps.,s are being found many
miles away. At the rate the bodies are
coming in the liet will easily reach 200
actually found, identified and buried.
There are doubtless dozens more.
Bodies Are Frozen.
While the bodies found Thursday and
Friday were in horrible condition,
many were frozen stiff when brought
into the hot SIN, a condition rendered
possible bby their covering of hail
Great banks of frozen hailstones still
lie in the drifts with bodies. Where
people were rolled before a wall of hail
during the food they were stripped ma
ked and their flesh whipped into solid
bruise.
Five carloads of provisions have ar
rived at Lexington for the destitute.
The work of the relief committee is
welcoming more arduous. Hungry and
destitute families are being found and
are being cared for as rapidly IS pos
sible.
Superintendent O'Brien. of the Ore
gon Railroad Navigation Company,
has arrived and hurried five wagons
out to load provisions. Trains may
reach Heppner by Sunday, when all
danger of want will be passed.
The relief fund has reached $4,000,
and it is estimated that $4,000 will
be sent in within the next week.
Heppner, June 22.-The Oregon
Railroad Navigation Company has re-
sumed regular service to Hcppner, the
track having been repaired Saturday,
after an interruption of six days. Nine
more bodies were received at the morgue
during the day, making total of 1853
| recovered. Some were found below
Douglas, distance OF about thirty
miles. The situation at the morgue is
becoming very trying, as the bodies are
in bad state of decay, but notwith-
standing this fact they have been prop
erly cared for and prepared for decent
burial.
The women who have SO faithfully
performer this task are worthy of the
highest commentator. They have
stood nobly by this the most trying du-
ty of all.
Money and supplies are being sent in
from all over the state and from neigh
boring states. Up to this time $23, 2S5
has been received,
