There were present lxrd Crahbrook, lord president'; ex-Chancellor Goschen, chancellor of the exchequer, and Earl of Lathoni, lord chamberlain of the household. 'Writs for the'election of members of the house of commons were, at once-distributed. The queeen's iceeh proroguing parlia ment says:. "The time has arrived when it is expedient the electoral body of the country 1 consulted by the as semblage of a new parliament. 1 have therefore summoned you for prorogation at an earlier period than usual. I am gludto record that my friendly relations with foreign powers remain unaltered. Treaties have been duly ratified referring the differences with the United States with respect to the Behringsea to arbi tration." Referring to the bills passed at the session' just ended, the speech says the arrangements that parliament has made enabling the workingmen to purchase agricultural holdings will in crease a class of cultivating owners, which is of great importance to the state. The application to Ireland of the educational measures recently adopted in Great Britain will confer a very great benefit upon the people of that country. The speech concludes : ''In closing this parliament, which has been usually la borious and also highly fruitful in bene- i licient legation, I thank you for the as siduous performance of your momentous duties during the past six years, and heartily commend von to the favor of Almighty God." . ' -- Current Topics. The East Oregonian has ascertained that A. E. Stevenson, vice-president on the democratic ticket, is a consin of ex Governor Stevenson, of Idaho. An exchange would have the public believe that matrimony being one of the United States, Ohio likewise, and ex secretary Vhitney having married in Ohio;' he is, therefore, "an Ohioan by marriage." Oil's well that ends swell. Harrison It. Kincaid, editor of the State Journal, has been recommended by a number of the prominent citizens of Oregon, for the position of Collector of Customs at Portland, made vacant by the death of Hon. It. P. Earhart. The Guard hopes that he will be given the appointment, as he is deserving of the place by his long and continuous faithful services to Lis party. Besides, says the Guard, he is honest and fully competent. The people of Lane county arejubilant over the fact that the subsidy for the ! railroad from Eugene to Florence has all been raised, says the Times. This was at first thought to be impossible, but every man put his shoulder to the wheel, fully realizing that in nnity there is strength, and the $100,000 was raised. The people of that county never made a better investment. The natural advan tages of the route, the subsidy that is pledged, and the resources of the section of country to be traversed will make it a profitable and paying road. Referring to the bolt of the Oregon delegation for McKinley, Hon. C. W. Fulton says it meant no ill will to ward Harrison. "When the Oregon delegation ' reached Minneapolis we found a big split in the republican forces, and, despairing of Harrison's ability to unite them, and believing also that some 'dark-horse' democrat would be chosen instead of Cleveland at Chicago, j we came to the conclusion that safety lay only in nominating some new man. Therefore we voted for McKinley. Mr. Hayes, - however, voted for Harrison. -.' We feared the democratic dark-horse be- cause the attitude of both Harrison and . Cleveland on the silver question is well known, and silver men believe that either would veto a silver bill. There fore, surmising that the democrats j would possibly pat up a man who had not committed himself,- or who would probably approve a free-silver bill, we thought it suicidal for -us to put Mr. Harrison in the field. The silver men favored McKinley, not because he had j shown a favoritism for free silver, but because he had remained upon the fence without declaring himself. They thought they stood a better chance with him than with Harrison. Its all right now:" The Chrlntain Church. A very important convention of the Christian church is in (session this, week in Memorial hall, at Turner, Marion county. It is estimated that 10,000 people will be in attendance, Yester days session was devoted to Sunday schools. Today is devoted to the Y. P. S. C. E. Tomorrow will be the Chris tain woman's board of missions day ; Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Oregon Christian missionary convention days. Sunday, July 8. will be the closing day of the convention, and will be given up to preaching and praise services. As this church has an organization in The Dalles, and is carrying on a- good work, it may be interesting to the public to learn that the .denomination will count up ubouta.OOQ in Oregon, .stand ing at least third, perhaps second, in numerical strength in the state. They number almost 1,000,000 in thiscountry, anJ their growth is more vapid jift )K- portion to their numbers'; thanj tiny re ligious rbodv on the continent. They have no' legislative- body! among them. Their conventions are deiegal'e'iueetings of the churches for . work and worship, such' as laying out- plans and raising funds for preaching the gospel in desti tute places, and discussing the questions that affect the life and progress of the church. They have about thirty col leges and -universities under their con trol, publish twelve to fifteen weekly papers, a large number of monthlies and one quarterly. They have missionaries in China, India, Japan, Turkey and Af rica. ,They claim to hold to simple New Testament Christianity, and believe that they occupy the ground toward which the christian world is rapidly tending. They eschew all theological speculations, and affirm that religion is a life of obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ, in spired by faith in Him as the divine Savior. What Might He. If the cascade locks were opened, and it was a little later in the season, with the jetty finished, the steamer Cas?ade and her barges, might be transferred to the Inland Empire and instead of carry ing rock, we could load her up at The Dalles with wool, bides, sheep, salmon, horses,. cattle, wheat, oats, corn, flour, etc. The Astorian Bays : ' "The steamer Cascades came down with an unusual tow yesterday afternoon. The steamer had five barges loaded with stones for the government jetty in tow. . One barge being pushed ahead, two lashed on either side and two made fast amidships. The barges were anchored off Uppertown without trouble." Those five barges and the . steamer represent about G, 000,0(10 lbs. dead weight freight; 3,000 tons, at 2 tons to the carload fifteen hundred cars would be required for the days run to Astoria. Will Whitconib will agree to make two round trips a week, with just such an outfit as that, from Astoria to The Dalles and back again, thus doing the work of 3,000 cars, all with one steamboat. llnrcan of Information. Astoria has an authentic bureau of information to which parties desiring information concerning the port may apply with a positive assurance of reli ability. Such an institution many peo ple think is very much needed in The Dalles. It should be organized by peo ple interested in properly representing the liberal inducements which the re sources of this region offer as an encour agement for invrstments in manufac tures. All partiee, or any individual, who feels that such an organization is needed . here, is . requested to clip this out, attach it to a sheet of paper, and return it to Tnn Chronicle, with such remarks as mav be deemed essential to endorse the plan, not for publication necessarily, but as an evidence of an interest to impel the calling of a meet ing of representative citizens with such purpose in view. . Address all such com munications to The Cukomclk Manager, Dalles City, Or. Reservation Gold Field. Klamath Star. A report is in circula tion to the effect that in many places on the Klamath Indian reservation good prospects of gold, both quartz and placer, have been found quite easily, some of them extremely rich. The government forbids the working of mines there, but when the reservation is opened to' settlement, the rush for these prospect holes will be lively and probably pretty warm. The Tych Hill Koad. Dufur Dispatch. Tom Driver in town yesterday, says the Tygh road is nearly done, and is now in use. All speak in high terms of the road, and particularly of the easy grade that has been secured. One man with two horses took up a load of 1,000 pounds in fifty minutes. A part of onr coming celebration'' will be to cel ebrate the completion of the Tygh hill road. Glory enough for the day. Oregon The Aaylnm. Klamath Star. The cyclones that waltz through , the Mississippi . valley start more immigrants this way. than all the boom circulars in the land. They whisper to the people that an asylum from the wrath oi the heavens should be hunted up, and the whisper is mighty load sometimes. The fact that Oregon is that asylum is made impressive by ; the voice of .cyclone, and the alarmed in habitants do the rest. OUR CANDIDATES. .9.i I 'V , is liENJ: HARRISON. Convention of the People. Omaha, June 30. Numerically one of the greatest political conventions fever held in America assemble here Friday, and on Monday, July 4th, it will nomi nate a presidential ticket representing the principles and policy of the peoples' party. "That the results of the conven tions at Minneapolis and Chicago have encouraged the leaders' and the rank and tile of this ambitious and exceedingly active and agressive, though raw young organization is quite obvious. Mr. Jerry Simpson talks bravely of what the peoples party will do in jsovemoer, ana Chairman Tanbeneck, not less sanguine, promises to wrest from the democrats part of the solid south, capture the sil- ver states, retain Kansas, and give the republicans a hard fight for supremacy in the Dakotas, Minnesota and Iowa. On the silver issue the people's party universally believes that it will become an important factor in the present cam- paign. Both Mr. Harrison and. Mr. Cleveland are clearly on record touching that question, and that bitter feeling against each of them is widespread' in the west and the south is perfectly ap- parent. Their opposition to free coin- age has set former aunerents against them. If the election were to be held tomorrow both the parties would prob ably lose a state or two. But between now and November the believers in free coinage may find them-, selves sucked into the great maelstrom of the tariff light. The tariff is bound to be the dominant issue, and whether the people's party will or no, it must face that issue and be subject to its influences. Those of its members who believe in tariff reform will feel the im pulse to join with the forces 'making for that end, while those adhering to the idea of McKinley, rather than see the protection walls torn down bv hostile hands, will drop silver and rally to the rfpfansfl of what mav seem to them the more vital thing. Inthesonth the force-bill issue will dominate and tend to drive would-be deserters from the democracy back into the party lines. But the Omaha con vention with its 1,776 delegates is going to be a big and a very important affair. It will be representative and earnest, enthusiastic and perhaps turbulent, and in session it will present a spectacle at once picturesque and suggestive. The old parties will look upon it with more than passing interest. Those who are inclined to look upon the leaders as mere dreamers should reflect that they desire to nominate as their candidate for president so conservative and sin cere and a man as Judge Walter (I. Gresham. A Word for the Treacher. Christian Standard. If your preacher is not quite np to the measure of the statue of your ideal ; if he is not so ele gant as Robinson, or entertaining as Beecher, or eloquent as Brooks; if he lacks somewhat on the social side, and is a little, slow and awkward iri making trienas, tne poorest ot an : remedies is criticism and censure. For all ordinary ministerial failings an ounce of co-operation is worth a pound of criticism ; a gill of sympathy worth more than a gallon of censure. Any sincerely pious man of of ordinary talent, can be made into an efficient,' successful pastor by a congre gation ; and any man, however good and gifted, can be made a failure by the same congregation. . A congregation may be known by the sort of pastors it makes. First Peachea of the Season. Walla Walla Statesman. Dr. N. G. Blalock, president of the Columbus fair commission received today a box of the first ripe Walla Walla peaches for this year. They are grown on the fruit farm of Mr. B. F. Simmonds, which is located in this county on Snake river. The flavor of the peaches is excellent, and they are fully one month earlier than any ever grown in this section before. They were of the variety known as the Ainsden June peach. Mr. Simmonds informs Dr. Blalock that he will have over 200 boxes in Walla Walla on the Fourth of July to supply the visitors who will be here : that day.

Chicago, June 30. It was hot yes terday, but not so hot as some drug store thermometers indicated. One of these industrious recorders frightened people at the corner of State and Mad ison streets yesterday afternoon with the figures 108 "in the shade," when the official . thermometer in the Auditory tower never got within five degrees of that temperature. Some people say that the business thermometer is built on the spring balance principle and reg isters more or less as the exigencies of the case may require. This hot spell is part of an immense heat wave spread over the whole continent from Pacific to Atlantic. The temperature mav be more oppresive toaay, dui me next aay j the government weather man says a j cool wave may be expected. He says also that there is no danger ot a return j of the wet weather. The school girl in her j cool white dress and variegated parasol and the man proud and resplendent in j lavender pantaloons, linen vest and j straw hat jostled along the shady side of j the street with the fat man, the points of his steaming suspenders showing ; uirougn nis unen coai ana me perspir ing pedestrian in a choker, with a hand kerchief stuffed in his collar. . A steady stream of male humanity poured into the beer saloons, and individuals with ideas of their own attempted to drive out the inward heat with copious drinks p of dark red liquor, Soda fountains and ice-cream stands were niduen behind dense crowds of men,' women and child ren. Candy peddlers, with wares in a molten mass of sweetness on the trays, sold fans, and the hot-tamale man gave up in disgust. ' All Chicago took to the shady side. Hammocks were swung in every nook where a shadow fell and a breeze played, and citizens in mother hubbarde and shirt sleeves lolled in neg- ge nnu noaaca over books ana ices, Those who could not find ehady places !. . , ,1. i went out into the streets and boarded , VHVIV Vl3 111 parks, to get away from the smell of dripping tar roofs and rooms stuffy as ovens. On the street cars men rode bareheaded- and with coats on their arms, and returned after the sun had gone down. Chicago, June SO. The association of stationary engineers finds unlimited fault with the easy-going and free handed manner tf issuing engineers' licenses to those who do not understand the work of an engineer. The engineers' organization assert that many men are being licensed who are unfit to be left alone with a steam engine. The organi zation draws a frightful picture of the dangers which menace property, life and limb from the employment of incompe tent engineers. As a remedy for the evil the association have petitioned the council for a stringent restrictive ordi nance. It is undoubtedly true that much cause for complaint exists, and it is also possible that a new ordinance would do much to remedy the evil. But, after all, the matter depends on public sentiment. Those persons who employ incompetent engineers should be held rigidly accountable for accidents brought about through ignorance or j carelessness of their employes. If, ! when indicted thev are not permitted to j escape merited punishment, then there j will be less need of iron-clad ordinances ! and penetrating inquisitions into the mental capacities and practical knowl edge of would-be licensees. When it becomes thoroughly dangerous econ omy to employ half-skilled engineers the era of competent service will be near at hand. f1 The Tygh Hilt Grade. Wasco Sun. Mr. T. J. Driver, super intendent of construction of the Tygh hill grade, is in town and reports that the grade is completed with t the excep-: tion of two needed turnouts, which will ' cost about two hundred dollars. As the appropriation is exhausted we trust there will be no difficulty in procuring the money needed. The grade is a splendid one, easy and light, - is ready for travel and now in use.. Mr. Driver has done his work well, and deserves the approbation of the entire community for his faithful and efficient work.

' With dirigible torpedoes, however, the case is very different. Then one must depend on electricity for steering if not for motive power, and there is room for considerable improvement both in speed and certainty of operation, two prime essentials. But the function of the electrician is by no means ended with torpedo service, fov in the equipment of any modern man-of-war the electrical apparatus plays it very important part The modern gun. twenty to forty feet in length, with corresponding, weight cannot be handled by man power as quickly as the as tbe exigencies or service sometimes require, and the choice lies between electricity on the ono band and nyaraunc uiacninery or uonuey engines on the other. The latter have been very freely in use. the former has made its j influence felt often enough to show that 1 it is fully up to its work. The electric i motor is undoubtedly bettor suited to such sort of work than any other kind of mechanism. TP.K SKARCH I.IOHT.

AU this points to a reduplication of the ap paratus on a considerably more extended scale than has nsnally been the habit, and besides all this there is a question of communication botween different parts of tbe ship, and especially with the conning tower, and here, as every where, the convenience of electricity, the readiness with which circuits can be multiplied and re-established make its use almost imperatijjet -: - In case of war the electrician will find plenty to do, both in the way of routine work and improvements, and may play a part of great importance.
