At last accounts the insur gents weie fleeing toward Malo'os here Aguinaldo his his strongest force )eiph:ips to protect his pre t ii.ut hide and a bailie in thut vi iuiiy may be looked for before long. Ii is the evident policy of Hie Amer- icniis to press the fighting vigorously from this on in Older to end the re volution before the hot and rainy jwasim is at its height and hence all Mil)le speed will doubtless be made in chasing the 1'ilipinps to their lair. Perhaps the best thing that could mmr lipien would be an early battle at Malolos, the defeat there of the Filipinos and the capture of Agui naldo. The w ily leader of the in digents, however, ma' elude cap ture, but his taking would mean more lb nt. several victorious engagements Co the American aims. With Agui n ildo secure the revolutionary party would disintegrate. It has not ap peared that the cabinet with which Auinaldo has surrounded himself is a strong one. so aggressive or so able as himself. While he has shown him e!f a scoundrel and c. bribe taker, a "soldier of fortune" and an adven Xuier, it can not be denied thut he is puesscl of mental attainments far above the ordinary. The natives Jiave rallied about him rather than bout the party of which he Is the .head. With him out of the way the backbone of the revolution would be jrone. The natives would surrender to the superior force, go back to the reservation, as it were, and ngree to be "good Indians." Aguinaldo, . however, must be captured or chased -out of the country; captured prefer : ably. To accomplish that end will require great strategy, for the insur gent resident and commanding gen eral has shown himself fond of fight ing in the open. When Malolos is taken the chances are he w ill be ab int, but be should be pursued with utmost diligence. Until he is re moved, peace in the Philippines is Jhardly jirebable. 'GERMANY AND THE V. S. All fair minded rersons can np preciaic the feelings of the Chicago itraian-Americans who have met in xass-meeting and ptotested against efforts made by the thoughtless or the designing to engender bad feel ing betweeu the United States and Germany. The declaration gent forth frofo that meeting hat not exagger xU4 tire part which men of German binh and origin have played in the development of this nation. The ".crman peoplo are a great race. Their men are brave and their women virtuous. .Science, art, music, fibilosopliy and literature have been tremendously enriched by them. We have no belter citizenship in this country than that presented by our tlerman neighbors. Cut there is no call to carry this piiivance into political organization, nd if the leaders of the Chicago movement are prudent, they will '.op with their recent declaration. Americans of native birth have no liking for race movements of a re taliatory or recriminating nature. They are not pleased with the pros jToct of organized bodies of adopted Oern.ans making political und social warfare on other bodies of adopted Knglishmen and Canadian!". It should bo remembered that the .crruan press has been the chief if fender in the snwill work of trying to excite a bitter feeling between the two countries. For the most part it was outspoken in expressions of sympathy for Spain and condem nation of America. We know now that these violent and sometimes brutal outbreaks reflected neither the sentiment of the German govern- ror the German people, but was a time when tins waj not to clear. It is a pity tuc Uueago meeting neglected to call the unti American press of Germany to ac count. It is time to drop the matter. Cordial relations exist between man-Auicricans. The converse is the case; there is very general and deep- j d affection and respect for tins admirable element of American citi zensbip. THE MOST FAMOUS BATTLE-SMI On March 19, 1898, the United States battle-ship Oregon left San Francisco for her long run eastward around South America. The per formance was watched by tho whole people, the chance of attack by the Spanish fleet, whose whereabouts at sea were unknown, giving the long voyage a sensational aspect, ine Oregon reached the Florida coast May 24th. Though she had run 14, 000 knots she was reported ready for duty and at once steamed to her place In the Cuban fleet. Foity days later ehe took a leading part in the battle with Cervera's ship. It was her speed and heavy guns that pic vented tho escape of the Colon, which had outstripped the other Spanish vessels. If tho Colon had run the gauntlet successfully the vic tory would have been seriously in complete and tho war prolonged, for it was the utter obliteration of their fquadron that completed tho dis couragement and disgust of the Spanish people. On March 18, 1899, just one year, less a day, after her departure from Sau Francisco, tho Oregon steamed into the bay of Manila and Dewey cabled that she was fit for any duty. Again she had steamed around South America, and, in addition, bad crossed the Pacific. Tho voyage of 20,000 knots fiom New York to Manila was not a race against time, but was completed between October 12th and March 18lh. The spend of the Oregon is no less remaikable than her mechanical perfection. A year ago she ran the 4070 knots between San Francisco and Callao in fifteen and a half days, an avecpge of 203 knots a day. The final run of over 5000 knots from Honolulu to Manila was made in twenty-six days. No battle-ship in existence has a record approaching this. The Ore gon was built by American me chanics in San Francisco, which less than sixty years ago was a foreign village of 500 inhabitants. Half a century of American expansion there has produced a splendid metropolis and one capable of constructing tho greatest battle ship in all history. From the army recruiting stations all over the country cornea the report of an eagerness to enlist, especially on the part of the former volunteers. The large majority of recruits desire to join regiments which are at Ma nilaor 'have been ordered thither. Foreign service, with Its discomforts, risks and promise of activity in the field, is attractive, while home duty, with its relative ease and and immu nity from danger, is distasteful; and there is n pronounced desire to evade it. This proves that the martial spirit still prevails among the youth of the country. While the array re organization bill was before the sen ate, it will bo remembered, there was a prolonged debate as so whether the provisions of tho bill gave the presi dent tho power of conscription. This rush of recruits is in evidence that the time used in debating this ques tion was wasted, since it shows that conscription is afar off, if, indeed, un der any circumstances it will ever again become necessary.

Tho Oregon will bo powerful factor in preserving peace at Manila and elsewhere in the archipelago. In tho event of further trouble she will be equally poweiful iti maintain ing tho prowess of the American navy. America can never lose "where rolls the Oregon." It is estimated that $00,000,000 will be required per year to maintain an army of 10,000 men in the Philip pines. This amount of money could bo saved from the pension payments without denying deserving old soldiers of a dollar of their pension money. Tho United States paid Spain 2o, 000,000 for acknowledging ehe was licked and 13,000,000 to the .Cuban soldiers for being in 'at the finish. There could not bo greater generosity on the part of a conquering aud all powerful nation. So many persons are sending their pictures to Admiral Dewey that the photographic supply dealers have advanced the prices of their goods. This will be welcome news to the gallant old admiral. ELECTRIC RAILWAY TO MT- HOOD Kuiniir that Ccmauy will Build Una From Hood Ktver to Cloud Cap Inn. Every visitor to Cloud Cap Inn, on Alt. Hood, is wont to pass the remark, "Oh, if only the dusty ride betweeu Hood River and the iun could be avoided what an advantage it would be." al though, we venture to say that not one who has ever made the trip would hesi tate to traverse the same road, with its disadvantages, for the grandeur of view and the pleasure which awaits them when the goal is reached. If reports are true this difficulty will In tho near furture be obviated, and a company will put in a electrical railway between Hood River and Mt. Hood. It seems almost too good to he true, so we "tell the tale as 'twas told to us," not daring to vouch for its truth. It would seem more likely were it to be built from Portland to the mountain, as the travel would be more liable to justi fy such a move, although there are many passengers over . the stage route every day during the summer. The great drawback to Oregon scenery has always been our lack of facilities to bring tourists in proximity with our snow-capped peaks and othiT features of its grandeur. While distance often "lends enchantment to the view," 'tis not so with these high monarchs, for the nearer we net to the mountains the more wonderful and awe-Inspriring do they become. It is to be hoped that the rumor of electric railways, cog wheel railways, etc., will so,n be reality, and that visi tors to our state can stand above the clouds and realize how insignificant is every other view they have had com pared with that obtained In Oregon. lie a Little Cautions. For tho benefit of any Dalles young people who may indulge in the pastime of holding hands, we publish the follow ing, c mtained in a Philadelphia dispatch, which may prevent any serious results in our city : It says: "Miss Edith Boone, of this city, has begun a suit for flo.OOO damages against Frederick R. Farrow, a young drug clerk, for squeezing her hands so violent ly that the small bones In one of them were broken and both hands were rendered practically useless. Her doctor says necrosis may necessitate tho ampu tation of one hand. "The squeezing was done a year ago, when Farrow had a situation in the store tinder where Miss Boone's family lived, and where he took his meals. Of the singular case the fair plaintilT said : "'Jnst after dinner, March 18, 189S, Fred seized both my hands and jokingly began to sqnet ze them. It hint terribly, aud I asked him to let go, but he would not. He pressed rny hands very hard for five minutes. I cried and bepged him to stop. A few hours afterward my right wrist swelled awfully and turned purple. I was treatc I at the polytechnic hospital, but both of my hands are use less, as you see. They are vetting woiso too.' " 'I was only in fun,' said Farrow in explanation.- 'My cae Is In the hands of a lawyer.'

Moil See Something; llealde the Mew on Flrt Street. The committee ou arrangements for the entertainment of the National Edi torial Association, which met Tuesday night in Portland, recommended to the secretary of the association that the excursion reach The Dalles on the morning of July 3rd and make the trip down the rivsr to Portland by boat. It is very likely that Secretary Page will act on the recommendation given, and report at once. Af soon as word is received Irom him, the committee in The Dalles will immediately arrange for their entertainment. As they will prob ably remain here two hours at least, it is thought best to provide breakfast for them, aud at the same time see that they have an opportunity to view the city beyond the limits of First street. Fatal would bo the result to our town we-e they compelled to ga.s on the beauty of that street alone, with its massive buildings, well-kept lawns, and the boulevards leading in every direc tion. True, it would be a rare privilege to obtain a view of China as here repre sented, or to gaze upon lhj awful grandeur of the ruins on the river bank, comprising all there is left of the one famous can of salmon ; bottles nhichln their palmy dnys contained some of the most healing balm ; raro bits of china ; valuable documents in fact, curios of all kinds. But at the same time to give them a comprehensive idea of the city, they should lu taken to some of the benches in tho background. To this end it has bten suggcMcl that the residents be called upon to lend tlie;r assbtnnce by turning out with their horses ar.d biigvfes, carriage, carts, harlts. wheelbarrows, etc., Mid by so doing eviry visitor csn bn driven through the city and to the hills beyond, where the best view of the mountains and river can be obtained. Such was the plan adopted by the people of Love land, Colo., and one which made a lasting impression on their guests. HOKN. This morning, Wednesday, March 29, to Mr. and Mrs. Briiton, a sen.

Among the more popular materials used in modern glove-making aro kid. lamb, buck, doe and dog skir.s. The kids are specially reared for the use of their hides. They are nil kept in pens, and thus are prevented from injuring th'.'ir skins against hedges, palings or rocks. They are fed ocly with milk, so as to preserve the quality of the hide, which becomes very delicate, ar.d, naturally, more valuable. At one time Senator Mackay, of Nevada, conceived the idea of buying up all the goats in the world, so as to obtain a monopoly of kid leath er, but the scheme did not flourish. Following closely upon this was a plan projected by several French capitalists to catch all the rats in Chicago and es tablish a preserve which would supply the French glove-makers with rat skins to be converted into "kid" gloves. Frank H. Vizetelly, in Woman's Home Companion. "Tonnage" and "Displacement." At the present time, when naval mat ters are a source of great interest to the general public, ore continually finds the terms "displacement" and "tonnage" improperly used, both In the daily press and in common speech. The confusion between the terms would not occur if their meaning were understood. "Displacement" refers to the quantity of liquid displaced by the immersed hull of the ship, and "tonnage" to the freight-carrying capacity of the ship determined by certain rules of measure ment. The displacement of a vessel is the entire weight of the hull with all its contents, according to the well-known law of hydrostatics that a floating body displaces a weight of fluid just eqtml to its own weight. A ship sinks in the water to such level that the pressure of the fluid displaced exactly counter balances the weight of the ship. -Engineering News Boston S.'rntpsrr.
