CONFIDENCE IN
ADMIR iL DEWEY
Little Doubt Expressed that the Hero
of Manila Can Take Care of Him
self if the Kaiser's Fleet Figures
in the Action.
Washington, July 14. The action of
the German warship in preventing the
investment of the Is! a Grande in Snbig
bay, near Manila, yesterday is still a
subject of grave interest at the war de
partment, ll 18 true mat lue ireuo re
tired when two vessels of Dewey's fleet
appeared in the harbor, bat. were it not
for the perfect confidence that the
Washington authorities repose in the
hero of Manila, the incident might lead
to a demand on Germany for an ex-
nlanation.
Present McKinley and Secretary
Long and Alger perfectly agree that I
Dewey's management of the affairs in
Manila has been most admirable, and
they are not disposed hardly to even
offer suggestions as to how the admiral
should act in case of any overt acta on
the part of the Kaiser's fleet.
The splendid work of Dewey in dis
posing of Admiral Monte jo leaves no
fear in the mind of the president as to
what will bo the outcome in case any
foreign vessels at Manila invite a simi
lar duel. -

That Oregon, Washington and Idaho

The world wants evidence of all this,
and it will do the world good and do

Ex-County Clerk L. V. Ehlen of
Marion county, who bas been missing
from Salem since the morning of the day
the tally-sheet forgeries were discovered,
returned Wednesday evening in cam-
pany with District Attorney Hayden.
Ehlen was met at the train by Tilmon
Ford, who conducted the preliminary
examination of D'Arcy, Carson and
Richardson, and after making a short
call at his borne he was tyken to Ford's
office, evidently for the purpose ot avoid
ing reporters. No communication could
be rereived from Ehlen or his friends
tonight, but it may safely be said : that
he has retarned to tell what he knows
about the ballot frauds, and to straighten
up any deficiencies that may be found
in his accounts. The experts will prob
ably report tomorrow, and it is expected
that the report will show a deficiency of
something less than $3,000. This will
be made good by Ehlen'a relatives.
Ehlen a return will probably lead to
more arrests and sensational develop
nieuts.
DEATH OF GEORGE P. MORGAN.
After a Long; Illness Dli Suffering Is
Now Ended and Be Is at Best.
The not unexpected news of the death
of. George P. Morgan at Cascade Locks
Monday evening reached this city Tues
day morning. . For weeks his friends
have been anticipating this sad news;
indeed, for more than a year past many
have feared his days were numbered as
being naturally of a weak constitution,
disease eeemed to be gradually gaining
a strong hold on him.
Since Mr. Morgan came to The Dalles
sixteen years ago and took a position as
book-keeper for McFarland & French,
he has been a citizen who was highly
respected, and of a literary turn of mind
has filled positions of prominence and
trust. Born in Virginia 48 years ago,
he was a true Southern gentleman in
every eenee of the term. Shortly after
taking up bis residence here be met
Miss Olivia Wallace, who was then a
teacher in the public echools of this
city, and from their first meeting seemed
to seo in her the noble womanhood
which has proven such a blessing to
him through their married life, which
ba3 been spent for the most part in The
Dalles, he being school clerk of this
district at the time of his death.
From the fact that the nature of the
disease which caused Mr. Morgan's
death has never been fully determined,
at his request an autopsy will be held
over the remains this morning. The
deceaeed made this request on his death
bed, saying that he hoped a discovery
might be made which would be of
benefit to medical ecience and so prevent
others from suffering as Wo had done.
Fansral of George P. Morgan.
Fraternity hall was filled with friends
Thureday evoning, who had gathered
to pay their last tribute to one who dur
ing life w9 highly respected by all
George P. Morgan.
The order ot Workmen, of which de
ceased was a member, attended in a
body and took charge of the services at
the cemetery, the services at the hall
being conducted by Rev. Jos. DeForcst,
of the Episcopal church. ; Two very ap
propriate hymns were sung by the
choir, and the solo by Mies Georgia
sampson, "Over the stars mere is
Rest,", was particularly sweet and lin
preesive.
The floral offerings were many and
very beautiful, showing that the friends
of the deceased were anxious to express
their regard for him and their sympa
thy for her who now mourns bis loss
Tbo remains were interred in Odd
Fellows' cemeterv.
Of Interest to Stock Kaisers.
The following quotations from the
South Omaha Etock yards will be of in
terest to stock-raieers :
Keceipts of western cattle still con
tinue to bo very moderate, and consist
entirely of stockers and feeders. The
downward tendency noted last week has
kbeen checked and prices have improved
this week about 10 cents, with a more
active demand, caused no doubt by the
general belief that the com crop of Ne
braska is almost assured. Based upon
actual sales we quote prices as follows :
Yearling steers $4.40 to $4.75; two and
three-year-old steers $4 to $4 :40; four,
year-old steers $3.65 to $4; yearling
heifers f 3.75 to $4.25 ; two and three-year-old
heifers $3.25 to $3.65; cows
$2.50 to $3. 25.' .
Quite a number of feeding cattle and
stockers from the western states, in
cluding California . and Texas above
quarantine, have been unloaded in al
of the large feeding counties of Nebras
ka, with the expectation of selling to
feeders. Sales at all the points where
they have been unloaded are slow, be
cause, feeders are reluctant to invest,
until they are certain that they will
raise corn to fatteu the cattle. On ac
count of these conditions, owners who
are shipping direct to this market are
meeting with more satisfactory results
than have been obtained by unloading
out in the state.' .
Receipts cf sheep are still quite mod
erate, and bave changed from local fed
sheep to weetern grass sheep. The gen
eral sheep market has declined 20 cents
to 40 cents since our last letter. In
stead of quotations we give below some
sales of weetern sheep and lambs made
here daring the past week: Wyoming
grass wethers 1436, average 121, 4.40,
and S20 same sheep average 126 at $4.45.
These sheep were fed some alfalfa dur
ing the winter, and finished on grass.
Ninety-five California wethers,' average
115, $3.75; 83 Oregon mixed, average
91, $4.35; 142 wethers, average 62, $4.40;
135. western Iambs, average 69, $4.70;
141 average 67, $4.80; 448, average 72,
$5.25 ; 131, average 59, $4.45.
