A dispatch from Wellington is to the effect that the appropriation (or the rant! at the cascade of ths Colombia river was raised to 14!39.03O instead of 1S6!I,000, ati before. This waa on motion of Mitchell. Thia artion, though in line with the government policy in giving the job to contractor ami hastening the comple tion of the lock, makes assurance doubly anre, and will quicken the pulse of Kaat- rn Oregon aa a whole. The work at the locks haa progressed at a snail's pace for nearly a quarter of a century, and the end haaseemedlikethe Canaan never to be reached, an unatainable phantom. a will-o'-the wisp, now within grasp, bow in the distance, ever promising, ever elusive, until hone deferred hath made the heart sick, and here and there a stately head has bowed beneath the dust in the Ions years vainly waiting for the consummation devoutly to be wish ed, bnt apparently never to be realised. Men have grown suspicions of their representatives, through ignorance of the fact that they wero impotent before the vexing circumlocution at Washing ton. The senators have had to endure open aspersions and secret distrust ; like Hawthorn's spy, have battled loyal ly and with stout hearts in the people's interests, butever presenting themselves in the guise of the enemy, as a target continually. At intervals they have come back and put to rest these doubts, satisfactorily explaining their conduct and the reason of the delays, but in the minds of many suspicion lurked, ready to again leap into active life at the first provocation. We do not say all have doubted, for many have been staunch, knowing tiie character of these great men of Oregon. Bravely have they worked, and now they should reap their reward. All honor to Senator Mitchell, Senator Dolph and Senator Hermann, who have erected a monument to themselves more lasting than marble, that of patriotic regard to honest states men for all time, from all people of Oregon. If we take volcano. Th Hawaii we shall own a it is something. It is said to have the largest eontinuoualv active i rater in the world. We .l.onld alao I .. :. ivtn active craters in the person of Chinese to whom we couldn't well deny an elec tive, and that is something too. Fx. Armour, it is mid, has a hundred dol lars placed on his desk every morning, rhi:n he distributes in charity during ihe coarse of the day. Excluding San lays and holidays, this makes f.31,200 rear, which, for a monopolist, is not javl, especially aa it is in addition to the Billion or two which he occasionally lrops into a free training school or some hing of that sort. Not only is there no such thing as an riah National League in this country ww, bat there ha not been such an or--anization for year past. The League raa destroyed at tire convention held in Chicago some bait doxen year ago when t fell into the hand of the Triangle ang of professional Irishmen led by Jexander Sullivan, John Finnerty, Pat !gao, and the rest, who traded upon it l the presidential campaign of 1888 and jcght to make it a tender to the repub- can machine, with theexpectation that nllivan would be called Into Harrison's ibinet, Egan go abroad, and the other sefciv relative reward. Except that gan waa given the mission to Chill iey were all cheated. The league, how ,'er, went to it death all the same, and aa buried beyond reach of resurrection. The Utiea Herald say that "the tak g of the Sandwich island wouldn't af rd the United States It firt insular Mtmion. The purchase of Alaska -onght us a group of island extending to the Pacific 20 degree of lengitade rther east than the Sandwich group id 10 degree further than Samoa, onoluln i nearer Washington than i tka." Bat the Alaskan or Aleutian ands are not our only' island poeses ms. Few people know that there is a lited State colony on the island of tvasea en the coast of Hayti. First ,xed by Yankee squatters in 1871, that sure has apparently been ratified and oGrmed by the action of the United it court in trying persons accused committing crime on the island. It a speck of an islet, on which a gang of m is employed In excavating phos- ate rock which i brought to tbhi m try for as as a fertilizer. jenerat Cornpson la accredited with -or ing two appropriation for the Ore National Guard at the hands of this klatnre. Th Galllxaon bill, glvitff na 40,000, ha passed both boose rr the governor' veto. The Fori I, to give the National Gaard 10,000, 1 in lieu of the mill Ui, also passed both ! . iri . I -...-. ... H i a nouses. jniTtnii "" - cool hundred thousand dollar to oper ate with the coming two years. The governor cannot well veto the Ford bill without restoring the null tax ot twin the militia and atate university, and adding considerably to what they will now receive. Ford claims there was an understanding that 'A he would increase the sum carried in his bill from $15,000 to 930.000 a year, the governor' veto of the (iullixon bill should bo sustained. Hut tiullixon and his friends went back on that and the result is a double appropriation through combinations. When the matter came before the House, of passing the Oullixson bill over the veto Ford denounced it as being in bad faith and an outrage on the tax payers of thia stats. There ha recently been published in Germany a remarkable pamphlet which gives with minute detail a statement of the comparative military strength of the five great powers. Coming from Ger many it may bo assumed that the figures have not been twisted to exaggerate the strength of the unfriendly nations. Vet this document, while confessing that In 1870 Germany waa far the stronger power, alleges that France, has now sev enty battalions of Infantry and 276 guns more than her enemv on the east, the cavnlry forces being about the same on both sides. When the conflict which finally proved so disastrous to the French was waging Germany's forces were superior by 104 battalions of in fan trv. 130 sauadrons of cavalry and 400 guns. Furthermore, the pamphlet de dares that in case of an outbreak today France and Russia together could put into the field l.Oi (0,000 men and 1,700 more guns than are possessed by the en tire triple alliance. Allowing that the figures are only true in part and that the pamphlet may have been scattered with a view to breaking down opposition to the new aruiv bills, it is evident that France is desperately prepared to at tempt the recovery of her former pre cedence in Kurope. Meantime she has been extending her littoral fortifications along the Mediterranean, and despite Halve great fleets could give vicorous battle for the supremacy of that inland sea. This is to lie a year for aluminum. It is no longer a thing of mystery. Al though America has taken the lead In manufacturing ihe sheet metal, Ger many lias come to the front in adapting it to many uses. The first aluminum works were started in England in 1 ."!, bnt thev were never successful and were closed in The same year j Germany started works, which have since flourished. The Cowles process in I vear " P""""" ' 1 " tes. The Cowles company of Cleve- land and Lock port now has a branch at Stoke-on-the-Trent in England. Under the Cowles patent the metal is reduced from alumina by the intense heat of j electric currents. Xo one haa yet dis- t covered how to extract aluminum from I common clav Dy any cheap process.. Aluminum is nevertheless becoming so cheap that it can be used in place of steel, iron, tin and bras in many in stances. When the first researches were made in 1807 the metal was valua ble beyond calculation. It waa simply curiosity until ib.x, woen it was shown at the Paris exposition. At that time the market value was f 100 a pound. Next year the price dropped from H to $27 a pound. Since then there baa been a steady decline until now it may be obtained at 70 cents a pound. A recent dispatch from London report that Prince Kaiulani want her throne back. Sheay: "Four year ago, at the request of Thornton, then Hawaiian cabinet minister, I waa sent away to England to be educated privately, and fitted for the position which by the-con-titution of Hawaii I was to inherit. For all these years I have tatiently, and in exile, striven to fit myself for my return this year to my native country. I am now told that Thurston is In Washington asking you to take away my flag and my throne. No one tell me even of this officially. Have I done anything wrong that this wrong should be done me and my people? I am coming to Washington to plead for my throne, my nation and my flag. Will not the great American people hear me?" The Poet-Intelligencer is opposed to the rhododendron a a atate flower, and says: "A a matter of common sense something should have been selected that waa generally distributed through out the state, something peculiar to the flora of this coast and something that would be pleasing to the eye from Its habit of growth when worn on public days. A simple sprig of some one of oar splendid timber tree peculiar to this coast would have been far better." The aad new come from Kentucky that In the recent contest in the legisla tors of that state over the choice of a accessor to Mr. CsrlUle in the United Bute senate, the Hon. Henry Watter eon waa once more compelled to march' through a slanghter-honae to an open grave. In Japan, if a woman i not married by a certain ag, the authorities pick oat a man whom they compel . ber to marry. Tbi may keep down the old maid, bat It Increases the number of roale suicide. . The Influx of the Russian Jews In the last year shows that these people are not coming merely to improve their condi tion, but to flee from persecution. It isan established custom in the old countries to acquit criminals of various charges if they will but go to America. This is cheaper than sending them to Siberia or keeping them within prison wall. An exchange says that recentlv a schnoliiiarm in the backwoods district was teachiug a selling class. When the word "husband" was put on the blackboard none of the children could pronounce it, and In order to help them out the teacher asked : "What would I have if I should get married?" The answer was prompt, but not what she expected, and she blushed such a bril liant red that the sunlight paled. The recent controversy between Ir. Briggs and the church will only lead to a new church being formed, composed of the follower ot the two factions. Neither the world, the church nor Ir. Briggs has profited by the learned dis cussion, and the devil gloats as he sees a new field opening up for his operations in the rivalry. The Waathar. IT. 8. DarABTMB.xT or Aoricclti-hk.

Tka UfMra C'a PtMblo ) Leader. The Boston Operatic Concert Company appeared last night before an audience that filled every Mat in the. theater, and left hundreds standing, and still other unable to gain admission. That they fully deserved the patronage bestowed was demonstrated before the curtain bad been up thirty minute. The musical part of the entertainment is of especial excellence, being far ahead of anything hoard of in this city before. Mis Bertha Hainan' coronet solo waa deservedly applaaded to the echo, while the solo upon the xylophone, by ber twin sinter, pleased equally well. The musical pro gram a a whole, nnder the directorship of Mis Irene Haman, was rendered with rare taste and intelligence. Albert Hawthorne the basso cantanta, haa a voice that for clearness and depth of tone, easily bold rank among the pest bassoe of this generation. Hi rendition of the "Arrow and the Song" waa simply grand. He waa recalled time after time, and it began to look aa though the delighted audience would keep him singing Indefi nitely. Dolph and Susie Levi no, in their act which they aptly style "Rival Art," furnished th mirth and pathos of th entertainment. Their effort have a novelty and originality that Is well nigh indescribable, singing, harp play ing, drawing and story telling, all so well and briskly done, that one hardly know where to begin. Laughter and tears, astonishment and constant surprise keep the listener' mind In constant action. The two features, however, which seemed to stand out particularly, was the singing of Mis Levino, with the harp accompaniment, and the crayon ketches of prominent men by Mr. Levino, while the lady eulogise the subject In song, th gentleman make life-like crayon sketch of the feature.

Engine 603, , late out of the Albina shop, came up last evening manned by Engineer IjivuII, pulling the pile driv ing outfit. At this season of the year, while the ground is so thoronghly water-soaked, our brother fire boys are placed in a most hsxHrdou position, and we trust every precaution may he vlgnwusly put in force to prevent any sorious accident. However, we are aware of the (act that many accidents occur which seem to be wholly unavoidable and no cause can practical ly be arrived at. Few people outside of railroad circle fully lealixe the dangerous position in which firemen are placed. Many time nn accident occur at the moment the fireman is putting in a fire, and for this reason an escape would lie uiirnculou. However, the great confidence placed in the engi neer give them a much freer and easier state of mind, and you seldom see any one in the w hole crew in better spirits than the fire Imy. A Mot liar 'a Itaalh. A pitiful story comes from Cathlamet, Wash. : Last Monday evening Mr. Cardinell, living a few miles out in the country, went to the spring to get a pail of water. While stooping over she lost her balance and fell headlong Into the spring. The water was only about two feet tleep, bnt the hole was so very gmul! that the woman wns unable to extricate herself. The children, who hail accompanied her, saw their mother's predicament and graed her feet and tugged away w ith desperation, hut they diii not oset strength equal to the oc casion, and after exhausting themselves, they abandoned the attempt and dis tractedlv returned home, not knowing what to do. Next morning the eldest girl decided to walk to Cathlamet and serureaxMstauce. Alter trudging through the deep snow some distance her strength gave out, and becoming fright ened she returned home. So from Mon d.iv until Saturdav the three little ones remained in the lions, with the dead body of their mothor a short distance away. The cold provisions mai were left were soon exhausted, and not know ing how to cook or provide for them selves the cliliuren were in a pumu plight when found by their lather, lie arrived just in time to save himself Irom being childle aa well as a widower. OF INTEREST TO MERCHANT8. Tka Salt mt 11. Ilarbrlng, Itarawilant, va. Vnlltwa. The suit of A. 8. Collin and Mr. A. S. Collin against II. Herbring. of tbi city, which wa to come before the jury yesterday morning, wa again post poned. This suit against one of our old est and well-known dry nod mer chant create considerable comment in commercial circle. It appear that Mr. and Mr. A. 8. Collin obtained under false pretense and promise at the end of the year 1891, goods to the amount of J50.HO from the defendant; but instead of paying the bill, a agreed, they shortly left the city by night and moved to Caliurnia. Last spring Mr Herbring heard that all their household good, etc., were in the hand of the sheriff of Wasco county, and consquently placed a second attachment upon the good held by the sheriff. A portion of these goods were sold last (December by the sher if of Wasco county, as no com promise could be obtained by defendant. And now come the plaintiffs and sue through their attorney, Judge A. S. Bennett, the defendant, for the sum of f 175. We will watch this suit when it comes before the jury, as we think it ia one of great interest to storekeepers. BILIOUSNESS. The S. B. Headache and Liver Cure.
