Turkish Troops Refuse to Aid in the Resto ration of Order. London, Sept. 8. The correspondent of the Times, at Canda, telegraphing on Wenesday. fully confirms earlier reports of most serious events. Lieutenant Hal.lad was killed and Lieutenant Seagraye wounded. The soldiers pluckily carried " Lieutenant Haldad'e body to a boat, nnder a bail of ballets. The telegraph office was re peatedly set on fire, and the father of the telegraph superintendent was killed. Worse is feared. As to tire fate of the majority of the christians, it is reported that only 259 have been saved ont of over 1000. i The sitnatioa was extremely difficult. The Turkish troops refused to aid the British, and there being exceedingly few of the latter in the town, they were soon overpowered. Forty wounded were at tended to by the warships. Mohammedans are pillaging Canda. Edhem Pasha, the governor, declares the mob is nncontrolable. As the dis patch goes, reinforcements aro arriving on the Italian flagship Francesco Moro- emi. The correspondent later says : Refugees are now coming on board the Camperdcwo, many of tbem wonnded. They tell a tale of great massacre. UNITED STATES A NAVAL POWER Achievements of Our Ships Will Prob ably Bring Foreign Contracts to this Country, According to I. M. Scott's Opinion. New York, Sept. 8. Irving M. Scott, of San Francisco, vice-president and gen eral manager of the Union Iron Works, at which the Oregon was builr, arrived from Europe on the Kaiser Wilhelin der Grosse and went to the Hollann house. Mr. ' Scott said he went to Enssia to farther American interests on the east ern coast of Siberia, and incidentally to crack no the nprformanpn nf Ampi-tnn. bnilt ships of war. "Russia," be continued, "is under going marvelons industrial develop . ments in every direction. Railroads are being built and manufacturing is ad vancing rapidly. "A great field of American industry is opening, particularly on ttre Pacific coast sear the terminals of the new railway. Merchant vessels are in demand, and nun uu sbeci win iro ueouou, iuu ifc was to get onr share of this trade more than anything else that I went abroad. My visit, I think, will result in onr getting contracts for some of the new warshipe : . j i :ii t. i i i -. which are to bo constructed for the Rus sian government. -' Onr naval victory at Santiago was an eye-opener to all Europe. There had the war about onr navy, and the experts were inclined to think onr. shipbuilding in the experimental stage. The cruise of the Oregen was an object lesson to all the world in what a battleship can do, and now everyone recognizes onr war ships as of the beet. No euch perform - rwps hflVA hppn rirpflmeri nf ahrnnrl. nnrl the prestige of onr navy rose to the ! highest point. . There was a keen in terest taken in everything we aio, going into detaile. "The destruction of the torpedo-boats was the cause of a revision of all foreign naval programs. The battleship was elevated to the place and importance it deserves, and much doubt was thrown on the utility of the torpedo-boats. In consequence all the powers have cur tailed their outlay for these crafts and are doing more for heavily armed and armored vessels." ' Mr. Scott will spend a week or ten days in the city. During bis stay he will visit his masterpiece, the Oregon, at the navy yard. AN ATTEMPT TO ASCERTAIN THE TRUTH Investigation of War De partment May be Made. ALGER HAS REQUESTED ffl And is Joined by Adjutant General Cor ' bin The President Has Not Yet Come to Any Decision in Regard to the Matter. Washington, Sept. 8 Secretary .Al ger has requested the president to order a thorough and searching investigation of the war department. In this request the secretary had been jorned by Adjutant-General Corbin. No decision has been reached yet by the president as to what conrse he will pursue. He has the request of Secretary Alger under con sideration, but has not yet determined whether he will grant it or not. Secre tary Alger had a long conference with the president tonight, before be left the city, and impressed upon him his earnest desire that an investigation, such as he had requested, be ordered. It now eeems not unlikely that the in vestigation will be ordered, Lot it is the wish of the president further to con sider the matter before announcing a definite policy. The question probably wiil receive consideration at the cabinet meeting tomorrow. s Beat tbe KlondiKe Mr. A. C. Thomas, of Marysville,Tex., has fonnd a more valuable diecovery than has yet been made in the Klondike. For years he suffered untold agony from consumption, accompained by henimor rhages; and was absolutely cured by Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump' tion, Coughs and Colds. lie declares that gold is of little value in comparison with this marvelons cure; would have it, even-jf it cost a hundred dollars a bottle, Asthma, Bronchitis and all throat and lung affections are positively cured by Dr. King's New Discovery for CouBump tion. Trial bottles free at Blakeley & Houghton's drug store. Regular size 50 cents and $1.00. Guaranteed to cure or price refunded. 2 Mr. M'Guire's Fish. San Fbancisco, Sept. 8. Several sal mon, averaging 28 pounds in weight, have recently been caught in the Sacra mento river. ' From the fact that the adipose fin had been removed from each they were identified as fish liberated from tbe hatcheries on the Clazkamus river, in Oregon, in 1897. This discovery ia said to refute tbe theory of Doctors Jordan- and Gilbert, who have maintained that salmon re main from three to four years in tbe sea before reaching their majority, and then return to fresh waters to spawn. -Day At Ellensburg. Ellensbcbo, Wash., Sept. 8. The populist, democratic and silver repub lican state conventions accomplished but little et tins morning s session, ow ing to the fact that the conference com miltee on apportionment of the officers was not ready to report. A movement was inaugurated looking to the adoption of a union platform by appointment of a committee to confer cn the subject. Jfree Fills- Send yonr address to H. E.

(2) ...-the McKioleys at Washington. Washington,' Sept 6. President and Mrs. McKinley arrived at Washington this morning at 7 :30. ' .... . The ChatBuqna at Gladstone Park. To one who bas lived in Eastern Ore gon, Gladstone Park is a delight not on ly to the mind, but aleo to the eye; for situated aa it is, in a cozy corner of Clackamas county, it abounds in deep shade, running water, grass and good camping facilities. Here, in the most accessible spot, is situated ono of the largest auditoriums west of tbe Rocky mountains, and in this building, on the 12th of July began the Fifth Annual Chatauqna Assembly. In speaking of this assembly, the thoughts of those who have been there do not cluster around the auditorium alone, though at all times if is attrac tively decorated with onr national colors, evergreens, and flowers. This would only be the center of our mind-picture and, around it, are clustered small groves of traces just large enough, when. famished with chairs ana Dencnes, to form pretty recitation rooms. Some classes, however, met in tents. Each morning from 8 to 11 these reel tation rooms were filled with men and women eager to glean all the knowledge they conld in a rhort time from com petent instructors. Every department was represented including private les sons in music, elocution and physical culture. - The last hour of the forenoon was de voted to some one of our best institutions of learning. A program was prepared lor this occasion, sometimes consisting of a lecture by the president of the college or a member of the faculty, and sometimes recitations,, orations ' and music by those who have graduated from the college represented, or are still in attendance. - Do you ask which college morning was the best? I answer without hesitation, the Chemawa Indian school was by far the most interesting to me. The Indians had been so well trained in tbe choice of colors that all were dressed in quiet tones instead of the giddy hues they are wont to wear in their uncivilized state. Their appearance on tbe stage was modest, unaffected and graceful. Every one seemed pleased, and eo sweetly did one girl sing, that she was requested to repeat her selections in the evening. Their band was a pleasing feature on many of the programs. All indicated their pleasure by applause whenever it appeared. In the fore part of the afteinoon and in the evening we had the pleasure of listening to speakers not only from our own Btate, but also by those of national reputation. It would be difficult to de cide upon tbe best. "Tbe Last Hope of the Negio," by John Temple Graves, of Atlanta, Georgia, set many of the dor-, mant brains to work, for it put before tbe mind the fact that the negro needs a territorial home as well as the Indian. I did not have the pleasure of hearing the famous lecture, "Backbone," by Dr. Heneon, of Chicago, but I was delighted with tbe one entitled, "Fools." "Crimes and Criminals," by Rev. J. J. Walterp, of Portland, gave one a better insight into tbe manner and methods of manag ing a prison and ii3 occupants than could be obtained through books. I might mention each lecture separately but limited time calls me to hasten. Tbe Young Men's Christian Associa t on and Portland Athletic Clubs made tbe game grounds attractive daring the latter part of the afternoon. Base ball, basket ball and other athletic sports were indulged in. At five o'clock people met together again in the auditorium for an hour at the round table. Occasionally this boar was occupied by speakers, bat more fre quently by ten to fifteen minute talks, recitations, music and discussion. If at any time a speaker was tardy or failed to come at the appointed hour, there was always eomeone to fill the vacancy. Never did we lose time wait ing. Stereoptican views of Japan and the Hawaiian Islands were displayed. Miss Maade May Babcock, the elocu tionist from Salt Lake City, gave several evening entertainments and all looked forward to her appearance on the pro gram. Orchestral music was furnished every afternoon and evening. Piof. Heritage, of tbe Consurvetory at Salem, kept the musical ball rolling and j we never lacked in this line. . Through his influence and that of others, we heard the Degrees, Miss Flora Baleon, and tbe world renowned, Herr Anton Scbott. He bas a powerful voice. All the songs were sung in German, and, as he de scended the stage he was requested to sing an English selection. ' He seemed to know their preference, for, when the accompaniment to "The Star Spangled Banner" was played a cheer began that did not cease till he had finiehed the first verse. This applause only showed the same feeling that arose as each tele gram or bit of war news was read from tbe platform.' Our "brave boys in blue" were not forgotten. ' If any one felt that patriotism was lacking at Cbatauqna just let him listen as the fire-works were touched off the last night. As each piece burned it wa6 greeted with cheers that increased doubly when they saw the battleship Oregon in beautifully colored lights. ' I have each pleasant memories of my stay at Chatanqua that I wish I could impart to yon all that I heard and saw. Emma S. Roberts. 1.
