VANCOUVER INDEPENDENT. THURSDAY, MAY IS, ISB2. Arkansas had a cyclone last week, a geueral rain storm of 24 hours steady pour, and floods all over the interior part of the state. The dumages are very extensive. Messrs.

H. E. Allen Co. have purchased the Spokane Falls Chronicle. Mr.

Allen is a brother of Hon. J. B. Allen, U. S.

Attorney. Mr. D. 8. Her' ren has bought the Spokane Times.

He is a brother-in-law of Hon. N. T. Caton of Walla Walla. Racine, Wisconsin, hnd a fire Friday night, May sth; seven blocks were burned over and 44 buildings and --000 feet of lumber consumed.

loss figures up three-quarters of a million. That part of the city that is in ashes was the oldest and least ornamental, being largely composed of inferior buildings with here and there a fine one. Citizens are preparing to rebuild. A Washington dispatch of yesterday says: There is a rumor afloat that Queen Victoria has been assassinated, but the state department here has received nothing in conformation with the report. It has created much excitement, and inquiries are heard in every direction as to the truth or falsity of the report.

There is much feeling manifested, and the kind words of the queen, when our national calamity was upon us, are spoken of iv earnest terms. The Oregonian of Saturday published reports of every grain growing section of Oregon and Washington. They were from leliable sources, the results of careful Inquiry. The acreage sown in the western part of the state Is ten per cent, greater than last year, and Eastern Oregon and Washington report the enormous increase of fifty per cent. From these reports it is fair to estimate that Oregon and Washington will have 415,000 tons of wheat to sell this fall, as the fields are everywhere showing splendidly.

The New York Mail arut Express has the following Washington paragraph: The president recently, in alluding to recent Indian atrocities, recited thehistory of their regularyearly occurrence and said the time had now arrived when some effective means should lie adopted for their prevention. He says there is no doubt that Indian depredations are checking immigration, and settlement and development of Territories. Instructions have been given to use the law and military force to their extreme limit. This vigorous policy is universally commended here. Tbe Washington Pout of Mouday morning had the following positive etaterni nt: "Chief Justice Carter and Judges Mac Arthur, Hastier and James held consultations Saturday summing up arguments of counsel in the application of (iuiteau for a rehearing.

The consultation lasted four hours, and was marked by the most searching examination of authorities and a most rigorous analysis of every point made iv the arguments. The judges were in thorough harmony all through, and in reaching a decision, not for one minute differing in the general steps by which the decision was of course, each judge had individual opinious on various points of law and their application. Decision will be announced May 22ud. The decision affirms sentence of court below, of course over-ruling exceptions. This disposes of Guiteau's last chance.

He will be hanged June 30, 1882." ITaUta. There ia little, if auy, probability of (iuitcau getting new trial. It is stated that 24,000 Cbioeae will land at Victoria before August next. Tbe Free idea has issued a proclamation against ths desperadoes in Ariaooa. Six thousand immigrants landed at Castle Garden, ia New York, in one day.

The crop prospects in Illinois sod the Western States are very promising.

La Cknter, May 8, 1882. Editor, Independent: We desire, through your columns, to correct a mistake which we noticed in your last issue in regard to our late lamented mother, Mrs. Ellon Kane, who died in Portland, Oregon, on Tuesday, April 25, 1882. According to the announcement of her death in your paper she was the widow of the late Patrick Kaue of Lewis river.

We were not acquainted with, neither did we know of any man by that name in our neighborhood. Our deceased mother was born in Miltown, Malbay, County Clare, Ireland, and her husband, Patrick Kane, died in Kilkee, in said county, in the year 1848, thus leaving her a widow for 34 years. She came to America in 1851, and was a resident of Lewis river for 21 years. She went to Portland some five weeks or more ago, apparently in good health, to visit some friends, when she was taken down sick with a severe cold, which resulted in her death after a few days' illness. We return our sincere thanks to Mrs.

P. O'Keaue of Vancouver, who, on hearing of our deceased mother being sick in Portland, started immediately to go and see her, and had just arrived in time for the funeral, which had taken place from the Church of the Immaculate Conception on April 27th, and proceeded to the Catholic cemetery in East Portland, where our dear departed mother was buried beside her sister, who came with bar to America. May they rest in peace. MICHAEL KANE. THOMAS KANE.
