Victory for the French Workmen's Pen

Treaty Rati fleA—Starvation in Spain
—German Conquest of Africa.
Berlin, June [Associated Press,
Copyrighted 1891.] If popular discontent
were allowed to manifest itself on free
lines against the government's order to
maintain the corn duties, Germany would
be ablaze with demonstrations. Since
Chancellor von Oaprivi surprised the
country, including the agrarian party,
with liis declaration that the existing tariff
must remain until at least treaty negotia
tions with other nations are arranged,
the dissatisfaction among the working
men has become the inspiration of politi
cal parties, which are open to popular
emotions and which become penetrated
with a sense that the government has
made a mistake and must ere long recon
sider the decision in the face of the
increasing prices of cereals, espec
ially rye, which forms the staple
of the people's food. Even the
official press speaks in an
apologetic tone of the attitude of the gov
ernment. The North German Gazette stands
almost alone in sustaining energetically
tne ministerial policy.
As the landtag will close within a fort
night thern is small chance that the
opposition will get time to conduct par
liamentary agitation. They are therefore
preparing for the campaign in the country.
The socialists are active. They value the
situation and will give energy to the oppo
sition movement in every populous center.
Many meetings have been held this week.
The socialists met with an enthusiastic re
sponse when they branded the ministers
as starving the masses to the advantage of
the classes. Within the cabinet it is re
ported that dissensions are strong.
The union of industrial associations,
after a prolonged debate on the proposed
international exhibition in 1896, appointed
a special commission to visit Chancellor
von Caprivi and ask him to ask the gov
ernment for its approval of the scheme.
A scandal attaches here to a well-known
professor of the University of California,
who is charged with sending his young
wife and two grown daughters of his first
wife to Germany and leaving them with
out support and refusing them the money
necessary for their return home. It is
possible that the professor has an explana
tion which is not known to people here,
who are interesting themselves in the
family.
Erail Seiffcrt, an American-German ad
venturer, recently sentenced to two years'
imprisonment for defrauding Mrs. Mc-
Guire, of Detroit, Mick., has succeeded in
getting a new trial. As Mrs. McGuire has
returned to the United States and refuses
to appear against Seiffert, it is likely that
he will go free. Seiffert met Mrs. McGuire
in California and made love to
her. He induced her to visit
Europe, and then defrauded her
her of large sums of money. He subse
quently eloped with Miss Flannigan, of
Washington City, Mrs. McGuire's com
panion, and married her in London. He
returned to Berlin after this and com
menced blackmailing Mr. McGuire.
He tripped up on his black
mailing scheme, however, was arrested
tried and convicted and sentenced to two
years. Mrs. McGuire then returned to
America, thinking Seiffert was disposed of.
Colonel and Mrs. Montgomery, of Port
land, Or., have left Berlin for Marienbad.
They gave a dinner Wednesday before
leaving.
JEWS WOUNDED AND KILLED.
Atrocities of the Russian Police—The
Exodus Assuming Vast Proportions.
BERLIN, June 6.— [Special.]—The com
mittee for the relief of Russian Jews re
ports that many injured Hebrews have ar
rived at Charlottenburg. These people
were wounded while fleeing from the Rus
sian police. A number of Jews have been
killed while trying to escape over the fron
tier. The exodus is assuming such vast
proportions that private charity will soon
be powerless to cope with it, and the gov
ernment will be compelled to interfere.
LONDON, June t>. —The cor
respondent of the Daily Neus gives the de
tails of an incident where two Jews were
chained and herded with aconvovof crim
inals because they had no money to pay the
expenses of travel. The correspondent says
he thinks that there are many similar cases.
The first six families of jews expected
from Kieff have arrived at Buda-Pesth by
railroad. They were conveyed virtually
free. They give a heartrending recital of
their treatment on the way.
THE WORKMEN'S PENSION BILL.
Boulangists Defeat the Government in
the Chamber of Deputies. '
PARIS, Junc G.—ln the chamber of depu
ties today Paul Deroulede demanded
urgency for the workmen's pension bill
introduced by the minister of the interior.
His appeal brought out the cry of "De
roulede is Boulanger's domestic." De
roulede retorted hotly, and a scene of
uproar ensued. Three ineffectual attempt»
were made to vote expulsion of Deroulede,
and finally urgency was voted, 317 to 8?)
amid the greatest excitement.

A CHINAMAN TORTURED.
Three White Men Inflict Horrible In
juries That May Prove Fatal.
Lbaßs Vallrt, Cal.. June 6.—Yesterday
on Squirrel creek, a Chinaman was most
horribly maltreated. He was working a
gravel claim for Sim Loy, a Chinese
merchant here. Two young men and a
man 45 years of age went to the China
man's claim and demanded his money or
gold dust. He said the dust was taken to
town every day to Sim Loy. The three
men then proceeded to torture the China
man to make him give up his gold.
They ended by thrusting a broom-handle
up the poor fellow's bowels, breaking off
the stick. The Chinaman managed to get
to town, and was treated by a surgeon, but
he is badly injured, and may die. He says
he can identify the men who committed
the outrage, but the officers have no clue
upon which to work.
MURDCR IN SACRAMENTO.
Philip Beyrta Killed and the Hons*
Sot on Fire.
Sacramksto, CaL, June 6.—An old man
named Philip Reyran. while sleeping in
the house of John Olsen, a street sprink
ling contractor, was murdered last night

San Francisco, and it is believed that the
murderer was after Olsen's money. Rey
ran was about 61 years of age. He leaves
a daughter, a school teacher in this city,
a son in San Francisco and another some
where in Washington. There is no clue
to the perpetrator of the crime.

A Sing Sing Convict Escapes.
N*W YORK, June 6.—Joseph'Shannahan,
a convict on the way to Sing Sing to serve
a sixteen-year sentence, escaped from a
deputy sheriff at the Grand Central depot
this morning. Shannahan was one
of a batch of eleven prisoners to
be taken to Sing Sing. They were
divided into three groups. The sec
ond group, in which was Shannahan,
in charge of Deputy Sheriff Burke, had
just stepped on the platform of a car when
Shannahan's hand shot up and the hand
cuff fell off. Shannahan jumped across
the platform and made for the entrance to
the yards. As soon as he jumped Deputy
Sheriff Burke fired a shot after him and
started in pursuit He tired three shots
more and was gaining on Shanahan when
he tripped on the track; and came down,
dislocating his shoulder and receiving
other injuries. Shannahan dashed on to
Forty-fifth street, where a cab was waiting
for him, and he jumped in and drove off.
The theory of the escape is that Shanna
han had a handcuff key furnished him by
confederates.
The Hanchette Mystery.
CHICAGO, June 6. —The Chicago police
are considerably mystified over new de
velopments in the Hanchette disappear
ance case. Last night the following tele
gram was received from the wife of the miss
ing man, who lives at Los Angeles: "All
rewards for the recovery of llanchettc are
withdrawn." This is the second reward

man. Lieutenant Baer, of the Central
station, said: "I believe that they have
found that Hanchette is alive, and
to save money have withdrawn the re
ward." Nothing further has been heard
from South Dakota.

structed to overhaul the steamer llattie
Gaze, which sailed today, ostensibly for
Unga island, Alaska. It is stated that the
real destination of the Gaze is Bering sea,
where she will engage in seal poaching.
The Gaze will probably put in at Victoria,
and it is expected that the Corwin, which
sails June 10 for the North, can easily
overtake her.
PORT TOWNSESD, J unc 6.—[Special.]—The
officers of the Pinta are authority for the
statement that H. B. M. ship Nymph

If England declares a closed season the
Nymph will probably seize such Victoria
poachers as she can find, leaving the rev
enue cutters to look after the Americans.

Chamber of Commerce—Free Bridges
for Portland -Trial Trip of the
Steamer Victorian.
PORTLAND. June 6.—Sidney Dillon,presi
dent of the Union Pacific, arrived here to
day. Dillon is accompanied by S. H. H.
Clarke, general manager of the Union
Pacific; Edward Dickinson, assistant
manager; Judge Dillon, of New York,
chief counsel; O. W. Minke, comptroller;
J. H. I. McConnell, superintendent of
motive power, and L. H. Korty, superin
tendent of telegraph. In an interview
President Dillon said: "The trip is purely
an inspection tour for the purpose of be
coming personally familiar with the situa
tion of the Union Pacific in the Northwest.
e found the road in good condition, and
it compares favorably with any in our sys
tem." None of the party were witling to
discuss the Sound extension situation.
The party will probably remain here till
Monday, when a trip to Spokane will be
made.
Clarke is the only man in the party of
Ij nion Pacific officials now in the city who
is inclined to be communicative. When
asked what improvements the Union Pa
cific intended to make in Oregon. Mr.
Clarke replied that he could not at present
answer that question. He knew that cer
tain extensions and improvements ought
to be made, but as the company at present
did not have any spare money for any such
purpose, nothing much could be done now.
As soon, however, as the company can get
the required money, it will, said he, proceed
with various needed improvements on this
coast. It was Sidney Dillon, by the way,
who was mainly instrumental in causing
the construction of the Oregon Short Line
and making Portland a transcontinental
terminal point.
It is understood that the officials will
decide upon resuming work on the Sound
extension about the middle of August.
LARGE WHEAT CROP SURE.
Weather Daring the Fast Week Was
Favorable in the Northwest.
PORTLAND, June 6.— The Oregon weather
crop bulletin issued today says: The cool,
partly cloudy weather and general showers
that have prevailed during the past week
have been of inestimable benefit to ail
vegetation. Wheat prospects were never
better at this time of the year throughout
the entire state. If no unusual weather
occurs during the present month the wheat
crop will be the largest ever harvested.
NEW YORK, June 6.— Last year's crop be
ing all moved, and the movement of the
coming crop not yet started, British
steamships of the tramp species are taking
cargoes to Liverpool for a mere song. They
have to have ballast of some kind
to bring their propellers under water.
Cargoes destined for San Francisco can
now be shipped to the California coast, via
Liverpool, at lower rates than they can be
sent direct from here. All the ships in
Liverpool are anxious to sail for America,
even if they take cargoes for almost noth
ing, in order that they may be on hand to
take back the wheat crop.
SAN FBANCISCO, June 6.— "There will be
no difficulty about moving our large wheat
crop this year," says George W. McNear.
•'There is plenty of tonnage here and
plenty to arrive. The number of ships on
their way here is large than is usual at this
time of year. By October there will be
plenty of them. The crop reports from
the Sacramento valley are very good, but
the reports from the San Joaquin valley
are not very encouraging. There is a
general feeling that wheat will bring a
good price this year."

the Chamber of Commerce.
TACOMA, June 6.—[Special.]—The city
council this evening decided in favor of
swapping the city ball site, corner Ninth

merce site, corner of Pacific avenue and
South Seventh. The chamber, the coun
cil and citizens have been wrangling over
the proposition for months. Each site is

ing interest on the bonds. At the expira
tion of that time an additional tax,
amounting to one-twentieth of the bonds
then outstanding will be levied each year
till the bonds are paid.
Vancouver News.
VANCOUVER, 8.C., June 6.—[Special.]—
A bold attempt was made at an early hour
this morning to burglarize the residence
°. f M , rs - York > 412 Kecfer street Mrs.
\orks little boy was sleeping in a
back room upstairs, and about 3 o'clock he
was awakened by noises in the yard be
low. Cautiously opening the window of
his room, he looked out and saw three
men underneath, one of them try
ing to open the kitchen window.
The little fellow at once aroused his
mother. Mrs. York went out on the
verandah and called for help. The burg
lars immediately made off. The little boy
says he would recognize one of them
again, although he would perhaps not be
able to describe him very accurately. This
is the fourth or fifth attempt made to burg
larize different premises in this city. From
what information can be gathered, there is
a gang of Italians in town just now who
came here from Seattle, and whose pres
