From a letter from Washington, D. D., we give the following: One of the numerous phases of the agitation has been supplied by those statesmen who allege unwillingness to visit Washington in summer time, lie cause ttiey declare it to be the abiding place of the excessive insolation. For a long w hile Washington was stigmatized as the home of malaria and it was the fashionable thing for men with uncon trollable appetites, pampered by official opportunity, to blame what Washing toniana termed "congressional malaria'' for their indisposition. That excuse has len threadbare these many months and no one uses It now , but in its place are heard references to the terrific sum mer heat from which the national capi tal is tupKise to suffer. The fact of the matter Is that tlierl are few cities in this country that are more pleasant during the warm months than Wash ington. Broad avenues permit the free movement of cooling breezes, lofty shade trees cut off the tun't direct rays, while the placid Potomac carries on its surface cooling influences such as but few large centert of population enjoy. There is hardly a more comfortable city in the country than Washington, no matter what weather conditions prevail. Krai Katata. July 12. W. It. Winant and wife to A. S.

CITY COUNCIL. Imparlant I.efUlaliow Com ap Adjuaraad Mealing. The city council met Saturday night i adjourned regular meeting, there b.-ing present Mayor Kinebart and Coiincilmen Joles, Kreft, P.utts, Hudson and Kshelman. ine impounding report 01 the marlai for the month of June, showing the re ceipts and amounts due th) city, was lead, accepted and placed on file. I'nder reports of standing committees Aid. Kreft made a verlial report concern, ing the telephone and telegraph com pany, lliey tirst desire to put in their oles on Second street, and for the pur om', wanted the shade trees in front of ' Wiseman'i saloon cut down. This was ' ... . . reluse.1 and they were given permIsion to erM their K,les in the alley between First and Second streets. Ileing found not continuous they were told they might put them in on First street. Here again it was found that it would conflict too badly with other poles and wires, and it was finally agreed they could plant them on the north side oi Second street, the electric light com pany agreed to remove their poles, the city council agreeing. A motion was carried that the report be accepted and placed on Gle, and the recorder, who has just finished paying for a new $100 type writer, will now be compelled to anticipate his coming six months salary, and add to his machinery a phonograph. The Epworth League fountain was of fered the city, on condition that it should lie kept in repair; the communi cation was referred to committee on tire and water. The fire warden made a report upon the insecurity of flues and the matter was referred to the committee on lire and water, with instructions to examine the ordinance relating to it (129) and ascertain wherein it was faulty. An informal talk about a dog tax was next had. The general sentiment was that the tax be reduced from $1.50 to 50 centt per year and collection enforced. A recommendation was made by the mayor that receipts be issued by the re corder to owners of impounded stock, upon payment, so that such owners could recover their stock at any time ; referred to committee on streets and public property. The road tax question came up and it was decided to collect all taxes possible that were due and delinquent. The amount ought to foot np to about $1200 and will be materially helpful. Adjourned to meet August 3d. Mra. Wllaoa Kctarns. Mrs. E. M. Wilson has returned to the city and is stopping with her daughter Mrs. J. T. Peters. A reception was given Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. C. McFar land, who has also just returned, this afternoon by the Ladies Aid Society at the residence of Mrs. Dr. Rinehart. The interior and table decorations were elaborate and the lunch very delectable. Mrs. Wilson's address before the wo men's congress at the world's fair has been pronounced magnificent effort, highly instructive and fascinatingly en tertaining. At its conclusion, while re ceiving numerous congratulations, she was besieged for the manuscript of it, and injudiciously surrendered it, with out knowing who the party was who showed her so great honor. She will perhaps never see it again, but some newspaper or magazine will have a great "scoop" on its cotemporaries. A Cnaptar of Accltlenta. Geo. W. Smith today fell out of a building, on the opposite side of the river, and broke hit arm. Dr. Rinehart went across to attend to it. A messenger arrived in the city this morning for Ir. Doane, who boarded the Regulator for Glen wood, Wash. He was called to attend a clerk for Dr. Chas. Adams, who operates a general merchandise store near Mt. Adams. The clerk, Mr. Royal, it was raid, had his shoulder crushed in an accident. The reason of the accident could not lie ascer tained. Today about noon Yomer Lauretsen was thrown from his pony and broke his collar lione. A new-fangled bit was in the horse's mouth, which In some way caught his tongue or Hp, and when pulled by the bridle rein the body yielded to the motion of the head, which at the time was backward. As nearly as can be stated, the horse fell over him self, and the xisition of the boy was pe culiar. I)r. Rinehart was at onc-e called. Halem Krai Katata. Salem property is at a very low ebb, judging from the following from the Journal : It is pitiful the way property told for taxes goes liegglng at the court house. Sheriff Knight ami his deputies are mak ing every exertion to close out the de linquent list, but half the time there are no bidders present. Moneyed men are remarkable for their alisence. When the money sharks are unable to tee a cent in a town lot sold for school taxes at $1.50, or a quarter section of land at eight or ten dollars, the common tort of speculators seem to think there It noth ing in it. Some great bargains are go ing just the same at those sales. Hraatar Mitchell l.eatra for the ICaat. United Statea Senator John H. Mitch ell left for Washington this morning on the II '30 train.

We do not know how the custom came inu, vogue nor why it continued. If the deceased was so near a friend as to make the sight something to be desired, it is wen lor mat friend to go to the home of the dead, and, in the quiet of the chamber of death, take the last sad mute farewell. Unless, it is in the discharge of some duty to the dead friend or some member of the household, we never look at the face of a dead friend. We are so constituted that we preserve in our mem ory the thought of our dead friends as we last saw them. It is much better, for ourselves at least, to preserve in our thoughts the memory of the living rather than thedead. It is not pleasant to hold through the years the dead form of a loved friend. For ourselves only we speak, when we say, we want no open coffin and tread of feet and gaze of strange eyes. All that paraphernalia seems to us unseemly. There is moreof morbid corosity in it all, as it strikes us, than any respect to the dead or living friends. We hope to see the custom become much less common than it now is." A TOUGH CIRCUS CROWD. A CbehalU Sheriff Tames the Banker Lent Show. A Chealis dispatch cays : Last night one of the flim-flamers ac companying the Sanger & Lent's show beat a German farmer out of $20 by means of the short change racket. The German swore out a warrant for his ar rest, which was put in the hands of Dep uty SherifJ Ed. Barnett to serve. Bar nett went to the show train while the outfit was packing up after the perfor mance and arrested his man. As he was leaving with him, employers of the show, headed by the manager, assaulted him together with two other officers, beat him insensible and rescued the prisoner. A free fight with citizens seemed imminent as soon as the affair attracted attention. At this juncture Sheriff Barnett, accompanied by Deputy Carpenter, arrived on the scene with drawn revolvers and proceeded to search the show train for the short-change sharp. They were unable to find him, but arrested four employes of the show. The manager in the meantime escaped to the hotel and had gone to bed. They hunted him up, got him out of bed and took him with bis hired men to the county jail. The five prisoners were chrrged with assaulting the officers, and were to have had a hearing this morn ing, but it was postponed till Wednes day. The show proceeded to Olympia without a manager and several specialty artists. The manager was released on bail this afternoon, furnished on a tele gram from the Oregon National bank of Portland. The Portland Bank. We have received notice this week that the banks of Portland have de cided to not receive checks on outside banks, and already our citizens who do their banking business with banks nearer home have U'gun to feel the In convenience of this arrangement. It is evidently the intention of the Portland banks to precipitate a run on the inter ior banks, with the object of capturing their trade. Merchants of this and ad joining counties should cooperate todefy this combine, and w hen paying for goods purchased of Portland wholesale men, issue checks on their homo banks as us ual. If the Portland merchants will not accept these checks, our homo mer chants can find wholesale men in other cities who will be glad to get their trade, w here the banks are not so particular, and carry money enough to accommo date the legitimate demands of business. In view of the recent drop In freight rates from eastern points, it would seem as though Portland were trifling with a botnerang. Fossil Journal. KlD(ley New.

Mr. Dt.11Ilv WH3 al,,K)itej a mml to cIlina , in 1877i ,n,i was ftfterward!) promoted to ! con.ui.in.nai . si.amrl...!. w.. perhaps nearer o the viceroy, Li Hung Chang, than any other foreigner. So broad-minded and liberal, so clear sighted and trustworthy, it wu not a mutter of wonder that he became very intimate with the rulers of the Orient, and his services were successfully peti tioned as the adviser and director for the king of Corea. Judge Denny, as much as any other living man, has made America, in the estimation of China, Japan and allied countries, a reputation for fair statesmanship, liberal views and generous consideration. With a natural love for sport, it is not to be wondered at that the many beauti ful birds of China, with their brilliancy ot plumage, should awaken a desire to have them introduced in the United States, and in 1881 he imported 18 hens and 10 cocks of the ring-necked pheas ants, which have now become fairly plentiful throughout the Willamette valley, and proving that the climate is favorable to their development. On another occasion Mr. Denny brought 90 pheasants from Japan of dif ferent varieties, 32 golden, 8 silver, 16 copper, 12 Japan green pheasants and the remainder of another variety. These were placed on Protection island, and some of them have thriven enormously. There are 13 varieties of pheasants in China known to Mr. Denny, and in making the salection for a colony for the United States there was much to lie considered. The Swinnoes pheasant has a brilliant plumage; the Elliot, Amherst and Darwin pheasants are less showy and more destructive; the hand somest is the Reeves pheasant, having a predominance in color of old gold, with markings of white and brown, and hav ing a tail five or six feet long. The names of these pheasants were all de rived from Englishmen who were first to discover them ; of course they have their proper ornithological names, prop erly catalogued, and warranted to be unpronounceable. The pheasant which has been known as the Chinese pheas ant is no more Chinese than these twelve other varieties, and since the others were named after English discov erers, it is due Mr. Denny, who not only discovered them, but conferred an ines timable blessing upon his countrymen by introducing them, to name them after himself. Denny pheasant it shall henceforth be termed in Tiiif Ciikonicle, and should be adopted by every nevspaper on the coast. The bird is valuable on account of its insect destroying proclivities, and the Intro duction of a number of them on the Warm Springs reservation would satis factorily eol ve for the Indians the cricket pest. An instance will suffice of the estimation in which they are held by the Chinese themselves. While Mr. Denny was out hunting with an Inter preter attendant, he came upon a Chi nese small farmer, 'who requested him to spare them, although they were quite plentiful. "Why," said Mr. Denny, "they are in your cabbage patch." "True," said he, "they are, and they eat a little of the cabbage, but here is what they are after," and turning up the under side, of a cabbage leaf, the Chinaman caught hold of a long green worm and held it up to view. "Now, these worms destroy moro cabbage in one day than the bird will in three months." Mr. Denny left for Arlington on the 1 o'clock train, but promises to slop on his return trip. Hois an old timer in The. Dulles, and whs ono of those men, few hero thirty years ngo, who maintained that thi section of country was good for something else be sides hiinchgriiss and sunflowers, ami thuL tho barren hillsides south and east of us would some day grow field of waving grain. His prediction has achieved a glorious fulfillment. Oregon takes tho lea I at the world's fair for her fruits, and Wusco county secures first honors of Ort gon for her horticultural display. Mr. Denny has lived u long life of usefulness, mid it is fitting that ho should retire to his Oregon home to spend the remainder of his years.
