v OREGON COURIER A( W. C1IKNKV, I'ublUher. OREGON CITY . .OREGON OUR COAST DEFENSES First Report of the New Com mander of the Army. NECESSITY OF IMMEDIATE ACTION Million Brave Man Would He I'ele Without Appliances to Cope With ' Modern Engines of War. Washington, Nov. 18. The annual report of General Miles, commanding the army, was made pnblio today. The ttersonnel is shown to be in excellent condition, well instructed, effloieut and attentive to duty. Liberal appropria tions are required for public buildings at the posts, many of which are out of repair. General Miles believes that the peaceable conditions now existing among the various Indian tribes is largely attributable to the presence of troops at suitable points and the ad mirable oonduot of the experienced army offloers who have been placed in charge of the prinoipal agenoies. While it is economical and desirable to have the reserve forces of the army near the great centers of communica tion, General Miles urgently contends that those points should be selected for their strategio value, and that the tend enoy toward concentration should not fee carried to the point of depriving the Western settlements of proper proteo tion. Under the head of coast defenses, General Miles states the condition these is such as to require decided and immediate action for their improve ment. The unguarded oondition of our oasts is known by every first-class power, and our people should not be led into false security. He quotes from his report of 1804 strong argument for the defense of Pa ret sound, and shows that sinoe the time the new Canadian railroad con sections have been established there not a single gun has been placed in posi tion for defense, while those atrthe en tranoe of the Columbia are obsolete and of little value. It is true that some progress has been made toward defend ing San Francisco, and a few modern irons and rifles have been placed there. These, however, are but a small part of the general plan for the defense of the harbor, while San Diego is in the same oondition as Fuget sound, entirely the mercy of any foreign fleet General Miles recalls his report 1889 upon the absolute importance the defense of the entire Paoiflo coast, in view of the faot that it is possible for any naval power to blockade any important port within ninety days, while it would take many years to make a successful resistance, and the country might be required to pay an indemnity of $5,000,000,000. While the railroads might transport a million brave men to the coast, they would be useless without applianoes to oope with the modern engines of war, and with 11 our intelligence, inventive genius and enterprise, we are as far behind in the modern applianoes of war as China or Japan. Such were the conditions six years ago, says General Miles, and such are the conditions today, with the exoep tion of the slight progress made at Sun Francisco. TO EXPEL DUNRAVEN. SPOKANE COUNTY POOR FARM Charges Agalnat Management Lead to Arreiit of Superintendent. Spokane, Nov. 13. Superintendent Pittman, of the Spokane county poor farm, was arrested today at Spangle and held in 200 bonds to await trial in the superior court for attacking and choking an aged inmate, named Mo Copolaud. Pittman admits that he grabbed the old man, threw him out of the room into the hallway, where he fell, and that he aud his sou then picked him up and carried him out doors. They were trying to expel Mo Copolaud because he would not work. Another inmate, named Anderson, was expelled Sunday. He walked into Spo kaue. Ho oharges the management with gross brutality and tyranny, and aoouses Pittman's Bons of tying a rope around the nook of an old man and ehoking him so that be could not swal low for several days. The affair will probably lead to an official investigation. All Are Fenny Paper. Chioago, Nov. 13. The Tribune in its issue Sunday announced that the prioe of that paper on week days inside the city hereafter would be one cent This morning the Times-Herald and the Inter-Ooean, the only two-cent morning papers, announced a similar redaction in their price to meet the out made by the Tribune The action of those morning papers today places all the morning papers in Chicago at one cent a copy.

Nothing is known in court circles here of the sou Rational story circulated regarding the . illness of the czarina, whoso life was aid to be despaired of as the result of an operation. Nothing further is known at Darmstadt than that the so eouchmout of the czarina, formerly Princess Alex of Hosse, may be expect ed any day. Much Action Talked of by New York Yacht Club Member. New York, Nov. 13. There is much talk among the members of the New York Yacht Club of expelling Lord Dunraven from the club, of which he is an honorary member, for his course in imputing knowledgo of fraud to Messrs. Iselin and Smith, in the matter of the official measurement of Defender prior to the recent races for the Amer ica's cup. Among those who have ex pressed themselves in favor of charges being preferred against Lord Dunraven, if he does not immediately resign, are J. V. Bouvier, P. M. Ilalstead, Mr. Doremus, Mr. Clark and N. I. Nichols. Commodore Smith said that bo did not know whether Mr. Iselin had demand ed that the cup and regatta committees of the New York Yacht Club should make an investigation of Lord Dan raven's charges, but he had no doubt that he would take such action. Mr, Iselin was not in town today. Members of the New York Yacht Club say that it is not necessary to pre fer charges against Dunravon in order to expel bim from bis honorary mem bership. They say that under chapter 20 of the by-laws he can be summarily deposed from the rolL The chapter reads: "In oase of an occurrence injurious to the welfare of the club, the name of any member implicated therein may be removed from the list of members by a vote of a majority of the represents' tives at any meeting." It is tbongbt a meeting of the cup oommittee will be held in a few days to oonsider Dunraven's oharges. There was a remonstrance of feeling on. the floor of the stock exchange today. Ex- Commodore Smith cheered, and when brokers yelled, "What's the matter with Iselin?" there were loud cheers, but Lord Dunraven's name was hissed, THE APIWHIATIONSL AN IRATE MOTHER-IN-LAW.

V rUA Two Daatl affirming the judgment of the 11" , court in oonvioting Joseph ("Banoo") The Klrnt A militant Pontuianter-Oeneral Make Home lleeoiuniendatlon iu III Keport. Washingti n, Nov. 12. Commodore Philip Uichborn, chief of the burean of ooustraction and repair of the navy, has completed bis report of the year. The report includes estimates for ap propriations for next year, the most important being 15,050,540, to be ex pended on vessels authorized by con gress for the lnoreasse of the navy. He also asks for $1,600,000 for the general repair of vessels and purchase of stores and machinery; $528,000 for the con tinuance of work already authorized on the Hartford, the Chioago and other vessels, and $500,000 for two composite sailing vessels. He dwells especially upon the necessity of adequate money for the repair of vessels, covering mod ern steel ships, with their extreme sub division and elaborate systems of ven tilation, drainage and mechanical auxil iaries of all kinds. They require much greater oare, both when in commission and in ordinary than was formerly the case with the old wooden ships. It is more than nine years since the first vessel of the new navy was put in commission, and the necessity for gen eral repairs and renewals of fittings and equipments is becoming more and more pressing. The policy of extreme economy has about reaohed its limit, and unless more ample appropriations are made for the care and preservation of ships and the general maintenance of the yard plants, the efficiency of the fleet will be diminished and the government property will suffer serious deterioration. Commodore Hiohborn notes the Kelly of mnrder in the second degree. Authorities are oited to show that hav ing heard and read of the case and found and expressed an opinion as to its merits did not necessarily disqualify jurors. The alleged error in overruling a motion to exclude the jury from the oourtroom during the hearing as to the competency of an alleged confession, which as evidence, was finally rejected, the chief justice says is a new question in the supreme court, and he says that, in his opinion, whether or not such ex amination should be conducted in the presence of a jury is for the sound dis cretion of the court The argument that suoh hearing may innuenoe a jury in arriving at a verdict, although re- year of tne Marbieneaa, uoiumoin, Olympia and Minneapolis; gives the status of other vessels almost complet ed, and also states the faot in connec tion with oontraots recently let and specifications made under the authority of the last naval appropriation bilL He suggests the importance of appro priations sufficient to put the navy yard plants at Portsmouth, N. H., Boston, New York, League island, Norfolk and Mare island in oondition to meet the demands of the immediate future. He thinks $125,000 necessary at Norfolk; $75,000 at New York and $70,000 at Mare island. He also renews the reoommendation of last year for the new stations at Port Royal and Puget sound. The money is, he says, neces sary to equip the stations with tools so ZZZ "TZ "1 ZT 1! to enable them to cover theordinary tenon of thn inrv. In the indirment of the law, juries are deemed oapable of that amount of discrimination. It would be impossible to oonduot jury trials on any other prinoiple. Hence, judgment is affirmed. Much Suffering In Jamaica. Halifax, Nov. 13. Distressing stories of privation and starvation are brought by the mail steamer from Jamaica. The district of St. Elizabeth, compris ing 6,000 persons, is in a most deplor able state, brought about by tho failure of early orops by drought, and the visi tation of caterpillars. Tho government of the colony has granted 1,000, pa rochial board of St. Elizabeth 500 and private donations reach 5,000. But this will soon be exhausted. Two deaths have already boen reported an old woman and a girl. Many of tbo poorer people are absolutely nude, and whole families have been living for weeks on a little flour and sugar, Others are subsisting on plants, and unless extensive relief comes soon many peoplo in the island, old aud young, must die from starvation and want of even the barest necessities. In many instances mothers are offering to give their children to strangers to save their lives. repair work. ) Probably, the most important part of the report is that devoted to the neoes sity of the inoreased drydook facilities. Mr. Hiohborn notes the faot that there was no dock in the country sufficiently large to dock the Indiana preliminary to her trial trip. , Colombian! Anxloua for Peace. New York, Nov. 13. The Herald's correspondent in Bogota telegraphs that the government has issued a do oree, raising tne Btato or siege in tne republic with the exception of Bogota and tho province of Cucuta. The gov ernmont grants amnesty to all engaged iu the last revolution as conspirators, unless they shall havo been charged with common crimes or acted as lead era in organizing invading expeditious against Colombia. All exiles now in Venezuela may return without penalty if thoy promise they will not again conspire sgainst the constituted author ity of the oountry. Bpreckeli and Heet Sugar. San Francisco, Nov. 13. Clans Sprockets announced today that he in tended to establish at different points throughout the state three new beet- sugar factories. He has not yet select ed the sites for the factories, but says he will invest $1,000,000 in the beet sugar enterprise in California. lapan'a War Indemnity. Washington, Nov. 13. The Japan ese minister has received a telegram that an agreement has been signed at Peking providing for the payment of an additional indomnty by China for the evacuation of Liao Tang peninsula. The amount is 30,000.000 fuels, to be paid November 16, 1805. King of t'ortugal In London. Loudon, Nov. 8. King Charles of Portugal arrived at Charing Cross sta tion this morning from Shoeruess, and was received in state. The king was driven to Buckingham palace as the guest of the Prince of Wales. The Poatal Department. Washington, Nov. 12. First Assist ant Postmaster-General Frank M. Jones has issued his annual report for the year ended June 80, 1806. Mr. Jones shows that the divisions under his supervision have saved, daring the year, il, 31)6,577, tne prinoipal items being in the saving in curriers by stop ping overtime, aud a reduction of force amounting to $1,300,000. The salar ies of all presidential postmasters amounting to $5,807,200, aud the gross receipts of postofflces $00,538,007. The number of presidential postmasters is 3,401, of which 159 are first class, 700 second olass, 2,632 third class. An estimate of $17,000,000 for all poBtnmstors is made for the year 1897, an increase over tne present year or $1,000,000. The total number of positions brought within the classified servioe was 2,395. Mr. Jones recommends the abolition of experimental free delivery, unless $10,000,000 is appropriated for the pur pose; also free rural delivery, unless $20,000,000 is appropriated. Of the investigations and discharge of carriers lor causo, jut. Jones says 885 carriers have been removed. He reviews the conditions which made the investigations necessary, the principal one being the accumulation of overtime claims, showing that something was wrong. The work has been systemat ically prosecuted daring the past eight mouths, and the carriers at 161 offices have been investigated. An estimate of $12,060,900 is made for the free delivery service next year. The money order report shows that there are 19,691 doruestio money order offices, and orders to the amount of 166,709,089 were issued, and $156, 159,689 paid . Mr. Jones recommends legislation requiring clerks handling money order business to give bonds. Concerning dead letter matter, the re port says: The number of pieces of original mail matter received daring the year for treatment was 6,319,873, a decrease of 81,171." Mr. Jones renews several recom mendations made in his last report, such as a penalty for using postmarks for unlawful purposes; to prevent boy cotting postoffices; to amend the frank ing laws; more stringent legislation against obscene mail matter; the pow er to suspend employes; tne employ ment of temporary and substitute clerks; care of disabled employes; the better classification of salaries for clerks iu larger offices and the employ ment of substitute carriers. oril Nliolto Ilouglua Threatened With a liomewhlpplng. San Francisco, Nov. 12. Lord Sholto Douglas is to be horsewhipped. He has been nufortnuate enough to arouse the ire of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Addis, of Oakland, and she gives notice that she will start for Los An geles early next week with the inten tion of teaching bis lordship a lesoon. Lord Sholto will soon learn what it is to have an American mother-in-law on his trail. Mrs. Addis is a buxom woman with a will of her own. His lordship has dared to defy the will of his mother-in-law. Not only that, bat she says that be has insulted her, and now she is going to teach him some American manners, so sho says. Lord Sholto, in a letter to bis moth er-in-law, a few days ago, had courage enough to inform her that when be married her daughter he did not marry the whole family. He suggested that he was fully able to manage his wife, and that be would be extremely happy if he bad never laid eyes on any of bis Oakland relatives. In othor words, he told bis mother-in-law to mind her own business, and that hereafter he would brook no interference on her part Honor tor ltouke eller, Chicago, Nov. 12. John D. Rocke- feller was nominated a praotioal anar chist at today's meeting of the Chioago socialist labor party, and the Chicago university was named the Chicago Standard Uu university. The appli cation was made by Jesse Cox, a local attorney, in a speech, daring the prog ress of the meeting held on West Twelfth street, in commemoration .of the execution of Spies, Parsons and their comrades. Mr. Cox said there were two kinds of anarohists in this country. One was the kind that look ed forward to the time when there would be no government, and when men would live together as brothers. The other was the kind that never counseled throttling the law, but which took the law by the throat and choked it whenever the occasion de manded. There was only standing room in the hall, and Mr. Cox was ap plauded to the echo. More Trouble for China. London, Nov. 12. Speoial dis patches from Shanghai say the rebels in northwestern China are mostly armed with rifles of Russian manufao ture. It is added that their leader, while maintaining strict discipline among his followers, affords foreigners benevolent protection. He has sent sort of ultimatum to the imperial gov eminent, announcing his intention to advance upon Peking should the an swer prove unfavorable. The rebels are now said to number over 60,000, and the imperial forces are utterly in oapable of resistance. They are oom mitting excesses in the territory under their oontrol. Whole towns and vil lages are said to have been subjeot to rapine, and fields in the neighborhood are litteredswith corpses. THE CANALTO BE BUIL New York and London Capita! Will Foot the Bills. AMERICANS WILL DO THE WORK Powers Appealed to. Chicago, Nov. 12. The Armenian citizens of Chicago today sent the fol lowing cablegram to the Marquis of Salisbury, prime minister of England: to Nicholas II, ozar of Russia; to Em peror William- of Germany, and to Secretary of State Olney: "The imminent danger of. a massaore at Zoitou and general slaughter of Ar menians throughout Turkey prompts us to humbly beg your governments, in the name of humanity, to take steps to immediately stop these horrors, and to secure safety for Armenians." This was the result of a meeting held today, at which speeches detuiliug the horrors of the treatment of Armenians by the Turks were made by prominent Armenians. Satolli'e I'osHlble 8uoceor. Baltimore, Nov. 12. Cardinal Gib bons was asked this evening in regard to the report that Pope Leo had deter' mined upon the recommendation of the cardinal to appoint Monsignore Laur enzli, at present iutor-nnucio at the Hague, the successor of Satolli as ab legate, after the latter has been raised to the cardinalato. The Cardinal said he knew nothing about the matter, and had not recommended Monsignore Lanreuzeli, of whose ability he spoke in the highest tonus. Another Iinappearing Guu-Currlage. Philadelphia, Nov. 12. The second Bufflugtou-Crozier disappearing gun carriage orocted as an experiment was shipped today on three cars from Crump's shipyard to Sun Fruncisco. The Butrjngton-i;rozier carriage is au tomatic iu its movement, and is oper ated by a system of weights. Another disappearing gun-carriage now being prepared in Cramp s shop is E. Hunts piller's invention. This latter is pneu matic in action, and is intended as a competitor to the former. One Killed, Five Injured. London, Nov. 12. An accident to the Scotch express from London at Saint Neots, eight miles sooth of Hunt ington, on the Great Northern railway, caused by the breaking of a rail, today resulted in the death of a lady passen ger. Five other passengers were seri ously injured. No More of the Canal Hcandal. Paris, Nov. 12 The report of l'ln transigeant, that the government is about to reopen the question of the Panama soandal, aud that prominent members of tbo parliament would be prosecuted on this account is authori tativetly denied here. The Cariboo llj a Total Wreck. Victoria, B. C, Nov. 12. The pio neer steamer, Cariboo Fly, is reported a total wreck on the Skeena river, hav ing caught on a sandbar at high water and broken her bark on the receding of the tide. Her machinery has been re moved, together with the greater por tion of her cargo. The Deal Hal Not Yet Veen Completed Hut Negotiation! Are In an Advanced Stage. Chicago, Nov. 11. The Evening Post says the Nicaragua canal is to be built; that New York and London cap ital will foot the bills, and American contractors will do the work. It is also said Chicago engineers and drain age-canal contractors will have a load ing part in the construction. This has been brought about by investigation made by the leading spirits in the Nio aragua scheme, into the work being carried on in the shape of the $30,000, 000 Chicago drainage canal. For months their experts have been invest! gating this work, and it is said as a re sult, the moving spirits in the Western work have been led to visit the Nica ragua leaders in New York. The Post further asserts that for sev eral months certain London financiers, in company with some New Yorkers, have been looking into the soheme, and have practically decided to baok it Between $70,000,000 and $85,000,000 will be needed, and that amount, says tne rost, bus been guaranteed. The Post adds that while the deal has not yet been completed, the negoti ations are in a very advanced stage and almost on the verge of completion All attempts to secure financial aid from this government will be abandon ed, and the matter prosecuted as purely private enterprise. The prinoi pal negotiations have been going on, it' is stated, sinoe the visit of Warner Miller to this city a few weeks ago, No names are given in connection with the plan. , Washington, Nov. 11. President Hitohoock, who succeeded Warner Mil ler at the head of the Nicaragua Canal Company, oalled at the state depart ment today and saw Assistant Secre tary Dhl. The visit doubtless related to the reoent report of the government commission which visited the canal route. BRADSTREET'S REPORT. Trade Interrupted by the Election! and Mild Weather. New York, Nov. 11. Bradstreet's report says: The interruption to general trade throughout the oountry, incident to the elections, has been emphasized by un usually mild weather, whioh checks the demand for clothing, heavy-weight textiles, and other seasonable goods. Jobbers at most of the larger distribut ing centers report that orders now re ceived are largely of a filling-in char acter. Except for iron, steel and cot ton, the larger portion of advanoes in prices of commodities reported sinoe March last have disappeared. Early anticipation of continuous advanoes in prices and demand this year, the out growth of the activity of two and three months ago, have met with disappoint ment But there is little reason for the reaction in sentiment by many who discuss business conditions. Every wave of inoreased demand sinoe the tide began to rise in March has resulted in net gain. The sentiment of traders generally is that the outlook promisos an active spring trade, and that the holiday season will piove satisfactory. Ex-Consul Waller's Condition. New York, Nov. 11. A speoial to the World from Washington says the family of ex-Consnl John M. Waller believe that his health has been perma nently broken by his confinement in French prisons. His letters are all written in a most despondent tone. In letters dated September 30, from Clair vaux prison, juBt received, Mr. Waller writes that be never expects to see his family again, and states that this may be the last letter they will ever receive from him. It is evident that his health is extremely bad, for the French au thorities have transferred him from Cluirvaux prison to Nimes, and have placed him on hospital diet and allow ance. It is expected that the state department will take some decisive ac tion in the case before congress meets, for Mr. Waller's attorneys have been instructed to rile their brief at once. Another AmendiV Ident CrV Washington, Nov., "presi dent today approved un amendment to the civil service which will result in bringing many postmasters and em ployes within the classified service. The amendment is as follows: "Aud whenever, by order of the postmaster-general, a by-office shall be consolidated with and made part of any postoffioe where free delivory is es tablished, all employes of the office thus consolidated whose names appear on the roll of said office, aud includ ing the postmaster thereof, shall, from the date of said order, be employes of the said free-delivery office, and the person holding at the date of said order the position of postmaster of the office thus consolidated with said free deliv ery office may be assigned any postition therein and givon any appropriate designation under the classification act which the postmaster-general may di rect" It is the intention of the postoffice department to consolidate many oflioes. This consolidation will not necessarily do away with the offices, but establish them as stations of some central pointy It is probable that presidential, as welL as fourth-class offices, will be inoluded in the consolidation. Seoretary Morton in his annual re port, it is understood, will dwell at length upon the question of the exten sion of foreign markets for American products. He will probably suggest the importance of catering to foreign demands, pointing out that is no par ticular product in this oountry free from competition. Secretary Smith today sent to the president a draft of the proclamation opening the Nez Peroea lands oeded to settlement He suggests that the open ing of the lands be fixed ten days later than the time at whioh he appends his signature. This will give time for the proclamation to reaoh the land officers before the lands are open to settlement Seoretary Smith has written a letter to E. Ellery Anderson, replying to var ious communications relating to the patenting of lands to the Union Pacific Railroad Company. The secretary says that in view of the faot that congress, at its coming session, will, in all prob ability, take action on the matter, be deems it inadvisable at this time to pass on suoh matters. News reaches Washington from Corea that a new minister to the United States will soon be sent to this oountry in plaoe of the late minister, who died from cholera while on leave in Corea. CANADIAN MATTERS. Atlantio Steamer Libeled. Philadelphia, Nov. 9. The Interna tional Navigation Company has libeled the Netherlands-American line steamer Obdam, which was towed into Halifax Saturday with her shaft broken, by the Pennlaud, for $100,000. It is the gen eral opinion of shipping men that the case is one in which the unusually meritorious services were rendered, as the vessel would have been driven ashore on Sable island and become a total loss daring the storm on the fol lowing night had she not fallen in with the Pennland. A strange coinci dence is that just six years ago the Pennland was towed into Halifax by one of the steamships of the Netherlands-American line. Serloua Charge Made Againitthe Cath olic Leader In Manitoba. Chicago, Nov. 9. A special from Winnepeg says: Of the scores of documents that have been issued - since the parochial school agitation began, by far the most sensational has just been published by the Manitoba government It has been kept by the government to be sprung on the eve of the general elec tions, and the effect of the startling document is all that has been expect- It arraigns the Catholio hierarohr for falsifying, The Roman Catholics have all along oontended that their schools were pre served to them under the bill of right adopted when Manitoba entered the confederation of Canadian provinces. 1870. The Protestant contention has been that while reference wad made to parochial schools in a rejected bill of rights submitted in 1873, there was no such reference in the bill rati fied and adopted in 1870 by both pro vincial and dominion governments. Iu answer to the Protestant contention, the Catholics produced a manuscript, bearing date of 1870, which read . that ' the rights of the Roman Catholics.to , their schools should never bo interfered with. This manusoript bore evidence of being definite and authentio, and seemed conclusive. Now, however,' the government shows that the date of the document was really 1873, and a scientific photographic process reveals that the figure 3 was changed into a oipher. The original figure 3 is by a photograph revealed in faded ink like the rest of the document, while the oi pher is in fresher and blacker ink. WILL AID HILL. Chicago Hallway Manager Pledge Themaeive Agaiunt the Union, Chicago, Nov. 9. All railroads hav ing headquarters in Chicago have given positive assurances to President Hill, of the Great Northern, that, so far as lies in their power, they will co-operate with him in defeating the Ameri can Railway Union strike now threat ened on his road. The information came today from officials of the Chica- go, Milwaukee & St Paul, the Burl ington, the Illinois Central and tho Chicago & Eastern Illinois systems. This support of the Great Northern is an outgrowth of the plan nnrsned bv the general managers of Chicago when they were dealing with the strike of lust year. Mr. Hill has engaged a detective agency to furnish him armed guards, and advised the Chicago railroad man agers that his road would employ any railroad men ont of work who had not committed an act of violence in Chi cago or elsewhere against a road dur ing tho strike of 1894.
