Sciaiiea, Eaekacho. 1 NEW FOOD FOR WILDFOWL. a Experiment with Chinese Plants on Colnmbia Slough Lake The carii having- played hav9c with the wapaioes.ih the sloughs arid pdhds on Sauvies island, oft which the duck geese and swan used to feed; Mr. Reed-er ot Reeder's Landing-, has secured a lot of Chinese wapatoes, which he will plant as an experiment; and, if they do well, will try to' Introduce thein. in the lakes, tsays the Portland The Chinese here consume a great many wapatoes, and also bring over from China many which are of a different species, being larger and rounder.

The only Improvement they will be on the native kind is that they are too large for a carp to swallow, while the ducks, can perhaps bite them In pieces and swallow them. Several efforts have been made to Introduce plants on the Island which might attract the waterfowl and take the place of the wapatoes and widgeon weed, but all such attempts have proved failures; Wild rice by the Sack has been brought front WisconsiH. and. sowed, here; seeds of the wild celery, which gives flavor to cahvasbacks of the. Potomac and the Chesapeake, have been sown, and the seeds of the "wokus." on which ducks fatten at the Klamath lakes, have been planted; but none of them flourished.

The June rise of the Columbia is a very different thlzig from what any of these plants have been accustomed to, and covers them with several feet of wafer, just SH Ihg time when they should be making their growth. If something can not be done to preserve the native plants on which the ducks, geese and swan feed, the next generation will have no wildfowl shooting on the Sauvies island. She Composed, Tob.

One of the worst wrecks that was ever known here took place on the Western division of the Erie, three miles west here, at an early hour this morning-. Fast train 2 Was thrown in Ike 'ditch by a broken wheel and ten Bars were piled up in a confused heap. One of the cars that was in the wreck was from Mercier, and contained horses that were being taken East to enter the races. There were eighteen horses in this ear that Vere attended by their grooms-. Three men Were killed in the Vretk and all of them Were grooms, their names are UnknoWh.

Two other men; names unknown, were severely injured. Patrick the brakeman, was thrown ihto the air when the accident occurred. An ankle was broken and his head was badly cut. Ten of the horses that were in the car were killed. The debris of the wreck is piled on the track so as to block all trains from Corning to Buffalo.

Hastings May be Minister. Washington, May 14. Mr. Hastings, charge is oUt of the eity atld could not be seen concerning the Hawaiian dispatches which give his probable advance to the office of minister. This promotion would not be a surprise to officials, as Mr.

Hastings is particularly acceptable at the state department, having long been in the United States diplomatic service before joining the Hawaiian service. He has arranged to leave Washington in a few weeks, and the legation will be closed Until next fall, unless an an extra session of congress should bring him back. There is said to be no significance in this, as most of the diplomats take summer vacations. Wondering Where Hall Is. St.

Joseph, May 14. A determined effort is being made by the county officials to apprehend George H. Hall, the absconding collector of the revenue of this county. A very close friend of the fugitive stated that the absconding collector is now in the gold fiehls of South Africa. It is claimed that when he left St.

Joseph he told certain friends who had helped him in a financial way that he intended going to South Africa to try and retrieve his lost fortune and make amends for the past. The fact that Sheriff Andriano has heard nothing more from the Los Angeles authorities concerning Hall has led people to believe that the story is true about his having gone to the Dark continent. Tired of Her Prison Quarters. San Francisco, May 14. According to mail advice from Honolulu the ex-Queen has become tired of prison confinement and will soon make an effort to regain her freedom.

Her friends have been busj- in her behalf, and a writ of habeas corpus was to have been sworn out when the steamer left. Paul Neumann, her attorney, is preparing his argument. It has been a complete surprise to the government that no attempt has been made to test the validity of the military court that recently dealt with the rebels. It was generally understood that a test ease would be made as soon as it adjourned, but for some reason no action was taken. Sarcastic Resolutions.

Jefferson City, May 14. In the house Sartin of Benton, introduced a resolution providing that whereas the senate, a Democratic body, supposed to voice the sentiment of the governor, had by a decisive vote, refused to order to engroFiment a bill looking toward the curtailment of the power of the lobby, that it be the sense of the house that all anti-lobby Jegislation pending in the house be laid on the table. Davis of Taney, offered a resolution even more sarcastic but providing for the same Arnett of Madsion. moved that the resolution and the substitute be laid upon the table, and it was carried. No Senator Elected.

Doveu, May 14. The general assembly of Delaware adjourned sine die without selecting a successor to Senator Higgins, although the Republicans claim their leading candidate, Colonel Henry A. Dupont, was legally elected. The matter will probably be taken to the United States senate for a decision. The 211th ballot since the deadlock began four months ago, and the last of the session, was taken.

It resulted: Henry A. Dupont, Republican, 15; J. Edward AHdicks, Republican, 4: Edward Ridgely, Democrat, Tunnel, Democrat, Crisp Makes a Memorial Speech. AsifF.viT.r.K. X.

The recent achievements of Japan have led her to turn her attention to securing a treaty with which would secure marked privileges in the Nicaragua canal. The subiect has been under consideration 'at Washington between Mr.

The city council of Warrensburg, has ordered a special election June 11 to settle whether the Wood local option law or the general dram-'so is in force in that town- Says Great Britain Is 'treacherous and Should Be Watched Detroit, Mich, May ii. The feature of the L'oyal Legion banquet at the Russell house was the philippic against Great Britain, delivered by Don M. Dickinson. Mr.

Dickinson responded to the toast, "Our Veterans Can They Hear a Bugle and with impassioned voice and impetuous eloquence he pointed to what he considered the menacing attitude ef England toward this eouiltry. Mingled with scathing denunciation of the mother country were strong appeals for increasing military forces for this country. The speech was more remarkable on account of the fact that Mr. Dickinson is President Cleveland's most intimate and important social friend, being frequently summoned to Washington as an adviser in matters great and small, and taken in connection With the administration's course in reference to England and her dealings with Nicaragua and Venezuela. Mr.

Dick inson has just returned from Washing-? ton and from consultation with the president. He said in part: "One can not be so innocent as to believe thai the sentiment of relationship or friendship of England to the United States would stand in the way of the settled policy cf Great Britain to make Englishmen richer and iier power greater, even at our cost Her purpose is material. Whatever goes in the way of that is the enemy of Eng-land, and will be so treated, whether it be the United States, as a great commercial rival who may be intrigued against and encroached upon, and even crippled in some time of her distress, or when of? guard, or by a tribe of black men in Africa in the way of her colonization schemes who may be safely massacred with machine guns. Since the beginning of the year congress has passed an act which was signed by the president, expressing the deep interest oi the American people in an American canal across the American isthmus, which would be a highway of a mighty commerce between the two oceans. Simultaneously we have had the most extraordinary claims and movements of England at Nicaragua.

We have, too, the covert suggestion from her foreign office that the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, long since treated as abrogated by England, and, therefore, abrogated at our election, is still in force. "I think you will agree with me that patriotism and good statesmanship alike applaud the increase of our navy and demand its further increase; demand a larger standing army and ade quate coast defenses so that we may have peace with diq-nity in these latter days and extend and hold the world wide commerce wnich we need. Peace Treaty Ratified. Washington, May 14. An official dispatch from Tokio received at the Japanese legation states the ratifica tions of the treaty of peace between Japan and China were exchanged at Che Foo on last Wednesday.

No change was made in the text of the treaty as originally concluded. Takinjr into account, recommenda tions made by Russia, Germany and France, the Japanese government has agreed to renounce the permanent possession of the Liao -iung peninsula on condition that the arrrngement regarding the terms and form of renun ciation shall be reserved for adjust ment between itself and the govern ment of China. This latter stipula tion is constructed to mean that Japan will not surrender the peninsula until a suitable indemnity shall have been paid, and that it may have been agreed between Japan and China that the possession of Port Arthur itself will be retained by the Japanese for a term of years, leading beyond the date when the indemnity has been paid in full, thus assuring to Japan not alone the payment of the indemnity itself, but also iulllcient time to safeguard herself agaiust anything like a war of reprisal. Gordon Is Dismissed. Louisville, Ky.

May 14. The case against Fulton Gordon, charged with the murder of his wife and Archie Brown, has been dismissed. After the arguments were completed and the case closed Judge Thompson announced that he could not hold the prisoner, and that he would discharge him as an object lesson to other adulterers. Never was a crowd more demonstrative in its appreciation than was the immense throng- in the police court when Judge Thompson announced in a clear tone the verdict in the case. In explanation, the judge said that there was no evidence of guilt on Gordon's part, but that the adulterer and adulteress stood on tlie verge ot an aoyss oi rum ana aeam, and that their" fate was only what could be expected.

Thus ends the last chapter to the most sensational tragedy in the history of Kentucky. Not an Aspirant for Office. Washington, May 11. Friends of Congressman John T. Heard of Missouri, who has been confined to his room at the Riggs with a severe rheumatic affection, will be glad to hear that he is improving rapidly and is able to be on the streets again.

Mr. Heard said to a Times correspondent: 'I wish you would correct un founded paragraphs that lately appeared in a Kansas City paper, which spoke of my presence in Washington as being caused by candidacy for the office of assistant comptroller of the treasury. I have never had the least intention of seeking that place, or any other position under the government, and if the office were tendered me I would not accept it. "My private af fairs require all my tune and no sort of public service can offer the slightest attraction." Officers Appear for Fotit Tfavenwortii. Mav 14.

Kansas Did Not Escape Peaches Killed In Michigan, Cranberries i. Wlscon sin, and Vegetable Nipped in Many 1'laces.

Kansas City, May 14. Reports from many points in the Northwest are to the effect that considerable dam age was donr, to small fruits and vege table crops in many sections by frost. Corn in some places has been badly injured, and may yet replanted. Other grains are said not to have suf fered much. In the peach belt of Michig-an, the cranberry marshes of Wisconsin, temperatures below freez ing' occurred, and the freeze was of a killing- nature.

Kansas escaped the ravages of frost, except the southern part of the state and the lowlands generally along the Arkansas, Walnut and Kansas rivers and tributaries. Secre tary Coburn, of the agricultural de partment, has heard from but few localities in the state, and these refer generally to the frost of Friday night, which was severe on vegetables, small fruits and small grain in a few locali ties along the Arkansas valley. The Chicag-o, Rock Island Pacific railroad company has received reports from more than a hundred agents at stations along its lines in Central, Western and Northeastern Kansas to show that the frost was severe on vegetables and garden plants; that the fruit was not materially damaged, and mat trie wneat ana otner small grain generally escaped, and was not injured except in a few localities. Discouraging reports continue to come in from Eastern and Central Kansas about the ravages of chinch bugs in the wheat fields. President Totter and Secretary Co- burn, of tlie agricultural department, Deneve tnat Kansas win raise more wheat this year than last, the total yield of 1894 being 28,000,000 bushels.

They say, however, that unless rains come soon, and the chinch bug invasion can be arrested, the Kansas wheat crop will be below that of any season during the past fifteen years. Sioux City, Iowa, May 14. Specials to the Journal from Northwest Iowa and Dakota report a heavy frost and water freezing at several points. Fruit and vegetables are damaged considerably, but corn and small grain escaped with less injury. Detroit, May 14.

-Reports from the fruit region in West Michigan indicate the damage by frost was confined to vegetables and small fruits in low places. Milwaukee, May 14. Northern and western sections of the state report a heavy frost. Fruit buds and garden truck ruined at Chippewa Falls. Marinette reports all crops injured.

At New Lisbon small fruits and grain were killed. The berry crop was destroyed at Uoscobel. Maksiiaixtown, May 14. Frost in this section nipped the early crop of corn, potatoes and tender garden truck quite severely. Fruit was not materially injured, except grapes may be killed.

John Karg's Bloody Deed. Fijstdlay, Ohio, May 14. A horrible murder occurred at the county infirmary, west of this city, Abe Wise, a semi-paralyzed inmate, aged 40 years, being the victim, and John G. Karg, another inmate, aged 76 years, being the murderer. The two men quarreled over a trivial matter and Wise threatened to kill Karg, striking him over the head with a cane.

Karg went to his room and procured a butcher knife. Returning, he secured Wise's cane and then made a rush at him with the knife. Wise was almost helpless, being paratyzed in one side', and was therefore at Karg's mercy. The knife was as sharp as a razor and with it Karg slashed Wise across the head and neck. Wise attempted to get down stairs, and as he was groping along the hallway in the dark, Karg made another dash at him.

Drawing the knife across the back of his neck, he nearly severed the head from his body. With the blood streaming from his wounds, Wise managed to get down stairs, but he died soon afterward. Karg was placed under arrest. His clothing was found saturated with the blood of his victim. Sacrltlcing Her Child Sfokaxe, May 14.

Newton Blagg, a rancher, residing near Cheat-teroy, came home yesterday just in time to save his 2-year-old child, from a horrible death, 'ilis wife, driven insane from religious frenzy, had built an altar in the woods near the house, upon which she had secured the little babe, preparatory to roasting it alive. She was engaged in offering up a prayer for her sacrifice when her husband happily arrived in time to save his child. He brought his wife here for committment in the insane asylum. May Appoint a.

His Strange Behavior While Entertain Ing Admiral Meade Conduct Reported at Washington, by the Naval Officer. and lie Is Ordered Home-. Washington, May 14. Seneca Has- cltOn, the fanited States minister to Venezuela, is in the city for the pur pose of presenting his resignation at the state department His resignation recently asked by President Cleve land.

The cause this demand on the part of the president is found in A report made to the havy department a few weeks ago b.y Admiral Meade-, Commanding the squadron of the Car- ribean sea. While on a visit to Caracas, Admiral Meade and his officers were en tcrtained at the American legation Vy the United States minister. Ail the prominent officials and society people of the Venezuelan capital were present They were eager to pay their respects to the distinguished American admiral, for among the Venezuelans there exists a strong love for the United States, and a feeling that in case of trouble with Great Britain or other foreign powTcrs the United State might prove a friend in need. The evening was not half over before it became apparent that something was wrong with Minister Hasel ton. Either he was ill or he had drank too deeply of his own Wines and punch; His conduct soon became so intolerable, according to the description of the affair given by Admiral Meade, that guests left the legation as rapidly as possible and the United states naval officers felt deeply humiliated.

Inasmuch as the offense wasa serious one, and but a repetition of earlier lapses on the part of the minister, Admiral Meade satisfied himself by investigation, it appeared to be necessary to make an official report to the navy department. The navy department called the attention of the state de partment and the result was that Mr. Haselton was asked to come immediately to Washington. On arrival here h3 failed to offer a satisfactory explana tion of his conduct and, it is Under stood, virtually admitted his indiscretions. His resignation was asked for.

Minister Haselton was at the department for tin hour or more, and it is the belief of the officials with whom he was in consultation that he is suffering ill health and is not to be held strictly accountable, iu a moral sense, for his often se. Mr. Haselton apparently finds difficulty in concentrating his mind upon the charges against him, and it is said lie has been for some time in poor condition for the transaction of public business. He is a Vermont man whose imputation is very good. He was appointed on the recommendation of Colonel Smalley and other prominent Democrats.

He has been a jear at Caracas, and in that time has made a number of important reports to the state department concerning the boundary dispute between Venezuela and Great Britain, and his work has been eminently satisfactory to his supeiiors. lie has been a staunch friend of Venezuela. More Troops in Cuba. MiiDRiD, May 14. The defeat of the Cubian insurgents under Malagas has been officially confirmed.

The rebels set rue to the railway bridge between Caminos and San Luis. More troops have arrived in Cuba, and the campaign will now be more actively pushed. The report from Tampa of a repulse, on Monday of a Spanish force at Guimaro by the rebels under Gomez is denien by the ofiicials here, who say no such engagement occurred. Senator Castellane, colonial minister, stated in the Cortes to-day that Captain General Martinez De Campos was authorized to introduce reforms In Cuba the momeut he deemed the time opportrune. Paid Over the Fund.

Tor-KKA, May 14. Bank Commissioner Breidenthal, who was charged by Governor Morrill with misappropriation of public funds to the extent of 62,200, turned into the state treasury, announced that he would have something like 400 more to turn into the treasury upon the return of Deputy is now in Southern Kansas. This is nearly 500 more than the state accountant said Breidenthal owed the state, and it takes the interest out of the story that there is a shortage. There is, however, a violation of the law in that Breidenthal failed to turn over the fees immediately upon collection. Mining: Company Incorporated.

Skeleton Found In a Mound. Aiton, 111., May 14. While removing an old Indian mound in the heart of this city workmen took out a skeleton which looked unlike that of the natives frequently found, and close by its side was unearthed a large steel, brass mounted rapier of the make of 200 years ago. How this white man came to be buried here among the savages before the country was civilized is an interesting problem that may never be solved.

One theory advanced is that the man was a follower of Father Marquette on his tour of discovery down the Mississippi, who died and was buried here with his sword. Coal Fields in the Territory. Wasiiixgtox, May .14. Henry J. Brennan of Ardmore, I.

Professor Petrie reports that he has discovered near Thebes, Egypt, relics of a race hitherto unknown to the world.

He believes that these people, who are quite distinct in every way from the Egyptians, were Libyans, and that they lived at least 3,000 years before Christ.
